On July 16, it was Chen Xiaoting's turn to rest, so he stayed at home honestly on this day, thinking about how to start his errand.

Yesterday he promised very happily in the yamen, but when he returned home, he was worried.

In any case, Sangui is a local overlord in the city, and his forces are intertwined...... It's not something that can be easily suppressed.

Lying on the recliner in the courtyard, Chen Xiaoting looked at the sun covered by layers of leaves above his head, and was a little sleepy for a while.

"Big brother, do you have tea?" At this time, Chen Xiaoyu walked over and said, still holding a night's tea in his hand.

Now that Chen Xiaolin has entered the Guangde Mansion as an errand boy, Chen Xiaoyu has no playmates, and the whole person is not as lively as before.

As a result, Chen Xiaoting rubbed his little sister's hair and said with a smile: "Little sister, if you feel bored at home, your eldest brother will take you out to buy delicious food?" ”

After all, he was still a child, and when he heard that Chen Xiaoyu was delicious, he immediately came to his senses, jumped up happily and said, "Okay, good...... Buy something delicious! ”

Seeing Chen Xiaoyu's happy appearance, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help laughing, and Fang Cai's sorrow was also dispelled.

At this time, I heard a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and I heard that Chen Dayong and his wife had returned.

When Chen Dayong and the two stepped into the courtyard, Chen Xiaoting asked, "Dad, are you back...... How did you choose the shop? ”

When Chen Xiaoting proposed to open a shop, Chen Dayong and his wife were very supportive, and they had no reason to oppose the purchase of property for their family.

Chen Xiaoting is not good at these, so he asked his parents to go to Beicheng to see if there is a suitable shop, and rent it when the time comes.

Chen Dayong took the tea brought by Chen Xiaoyu, and after taking a sip, he said with an unhappy face: "The shop in Beicheng is really a bit expensive!" ”

"Not to mention the big ones, the kind of small shops that are less than two zhang will cost twenty taels of silver a year......

Speaking of this, Chen Dayong said even more angrily: "This is still remote, and the location is slightly better...... Or even forty taels! ”

Chen Xiaoting's mouth opened wide, he didn't expect it to be so expensive, a hundred taels of silver can't be rented for a few years.

So Chen Xiaoting comforted his father and said: "It's okay, it's really not okay, let's go to Nancheng and Dongcheng to have a look, don't be angry!" ”

Gao Erniang is nothing, she also obeyed her husband's wishes, so she agreed to rent a shop...... For her, it doesn't matter if she can't find a suitable one, but she can hold the money in her hands.

But at this time, I heard Chen Dayong say slowly: "When I passed by your Uncle Zheng's door, he told me something...... Say you've got an errand! ”

In fact, Chen Xiaoting didn't want his family to know about it, and then he was worried about himself.

But now that the news has leaked, Chen Xiaoting can only say: "Yes...... The son received the matter of Xining Street! ”

Gao Erniang couldn't hear the mystery in her words, but at this time, Chen Dayong's face changed, and she only heard him say solemnly: "Do you know the danger here?" ”

Chen Xiaoting nodded indifferently, and then said, "My son knows, but he has no choice!" ”

Chen Dayong slapped the table and said angrily: "Bullshit...... It's obviously self-righteous, and I don't know how thick the sky is! ”

Gao Erniang and Chen Xiaoyu were both taken aback by this scene, and they didn't understand why the father and son turned their faces so well.

"Mother, I'm afraid ......," Chen Xiaoyu cried.

Chen Dayong glanced at his wife and daughter, and said to Gao Erniang: "Take Xiaoyu in!" ”

Watching his mother and sister leave, Chen Xiaoting said calmly: "Dad, why are you so angry, scaring both my mother and Xiaoyu!" ”

Chen Dayong didn't have time to talk to him, so he said to himself: "Don't think that if you have made some contributions in the yamen, you can underestimate the people of the world......

"There are a lot of capable people in this world, and there are many things that you can't suppress!"

Although Chen Dayong's tone was not good, and even the sentences were counted and ridiculed, Chen Xiaoting was not angry.

He knew that Chen Dayong scolded him for his good, so Chen Xiaoting said: "Dad, you are right, there are many capable people in this world!" ”

"But if I want to climb up in the hundred yamen, I will only encounter more and greater difficulties in the future, do I have to flee when I encounter a strong enemy?" Chen Xiaoting asked rhetorically.

Chen Dayong was stunned, he didn't expect his son to have such ambitions.

It's good to be self-motivated and want to climb up...... But his own safety is more important, so Chen Dayong will not be convinced

"Sancai, the forces are all over Xicheng, we don't interfere with the river water with his well water, and we have always been safe, you go to poke the hornet's nest!" Chen Dayong reprimanded.

Chen Xiaoting stood up and said with great momentum: "Dad...... Don't forget, we are officials, they are thieves! ”

"Even if I lose, what will they do to me?"

After saying this, Chen Xiaoting didn't want to argue anymore and left home directly.

Chen Dayong sighed again and again, now he thinks that it is not a good thing for his son to be too motivated, and it always makes him worry.

"Dad, what's going on, why did you quarrel?" At this time, Gao Erniang walked out of the room and said.

Chen Dayong sighed and said, "It's nothing, this kid doesn't know the height of the sky, and he doesn't listen to persuasion!" ”

…………

After Chen Xiaoting came out of the house, he went directly to gather Zhang Ertie and the four people, and several groups of people worked together to find a way.

Zeng Chun was at home in Xicheng, and several people sat down in priority.

"My lord, Sancai is powerful, let's ......" Although Zeng Chun only said half of his words, the meaning was obvious.

Chen Xiaoting glanced at him, and then asked, "You have been living in Xicheng, and you know a lot about the three talents, you pick up important things to talk about!" ”

Zeng Chun could only honestly introduce: "My lord, Sancai has been entrenched in Xicheng for many years, and it is the largest and only gang in Xicheng, and now there are nearly 100 people in the core gang, and there are no less than 200 in the peripheral gang!" ”

Subsequently, Zeng Chun introduced other information, such as several masters of Sancai, as well as several major industries under his name.

After listening, Chen Xiaoting had a general idea of the strength of the three talents, which was definitely a behemoth for him personally.

But Chen Xiaoting didn't plan to back down, the bigger the challenge, the more meaningful he felt.

What's more, he is still invincible, and the three generals can't attack him, unless these people are crazy!

I only heard Chen Xiaoting say: "Zeng Chun, since you are familiar with this piece of ground, you find someone to send a letter to Xie Ping, and say that I will see him at Ziyun Restaurant at noon tomorrow!" ”

Zeng Chun and the others couldn't help but be stunned, they were about to start a war with others, what was the point of meeting at this time?

Do you still expect to persuade people to let the Lord Xie take the initiative to hand over filial piety? How is this possible!

But even if there was an objection in his heart, Zeng Chun knew at this time that what he said was in vain, and he would let Chen Xiaoting have an opinion on them.

So Zeng Chun said: "My lord, I'll arrange it!" ”

Since Zeng Chun followed Chen Xiaoting, he can be regarded as an official, and he also has his own circle in Xicheng, so it is very simple to wear a letter

…………

On Xining Street, in Sancai Xiangtang, Xie Ping received the news of Chen Xiaoting's appointment.

At this time, he summoned the five leaders in the meeting to express their views on this time, and at this time they had received the news that Chen Xiaoting was coming to Xining Street to make trouble.

"Big brother, I don't think I need to pay attention to it at all, how can I just see it?" The second Liu Guan Road.

At this time, Xu Mingda, the third master, said: "I don't think it's okay to go and see...... Jin Yiwei sent him to inspect Xining Street, we have to talk to him about how to deal with it! ”

Although the three talents are a whole, they are also divided into several forces internally, and they do not deal with each other.

At this time, Xie Ping scolded Wang Youtian for being despicable in his heart, and actually dragged him onto the boat and used him to go head-on with Chen Xiaoting.

But Xie Ping couldn't escape, he and Chen Xiaoting could only win, and he Xie Ping couldn't afford to lose.

The second and third have controlled nearly half of the gang's strength, don't look at these two people who have been fighting each other, but if Xie Ping and Chen Xiaoting are defeated, these two people may be able to remove him from the position of the leader of the gang.

So Xie Ping asked Li Wendao, the fourth child who didn't speak: "Fourth, what do you think?" ”

Li Wen does not express his opinions on weekdays, and at this time he said as usual: "I listen to a few brothers!" ”

The fifth leader is Zhang Wu, who was appointed by Xie Ping to consolidate his power, and it has not been a few years since he was promoted, and he has no chance to express his opinion at this time.

After Xie Ping thought about it carefully, he said, "I'll go see him!" ”
