At noon, after Chen Xiaoting had lunch, he and his wife Shen Yi went to play chess in the pavilion in the back garden.

In fact, Chen Xiaoting doesn't like to play chess, but husband and wife always have to find something to enhance their relationship with each other.

In the pavilion in the back garden, there was no maid serving tea and pouring water, only Chen Xiaoting and Shen Yi were there.

The black and white pieces on the table are staggered, and people who don't know chess will only think that this is Go, but this is the backgammon that Chen Xiaoting brought to the world.

Playing Go with a woman like Shen Yi who was born in a scholarly family, Chen Xiaoting was completely looking for abuse, so he came up with a five-in-a-row game.

At the beginning, because he was familiar with the rules, Chen Xiaoting won many times, but now the two are inseparable.

Just as Chen Xiaoting frowned and thought about it, he heard Shen Yi smile and said, "Master, if you don't fall behind, you will directly lose!" ”

In order to be in a hurry, Chen Xiaoting deliberately added a rule that the time to think should not exceed a hundred.

"So fast?" Chen Xiaoting couldn't help asking.

Shen Yi nodded, which made Chen Xiaoting feel a headache, and secretly said that he was not the material for playing chess.

Just as he was about to take the next step, he heard a voice from the garden gate: "Master, the prefect has come to visit, and now he is serving tea in the living room!" ”

Hearing that the prefect came to visit, Shen Yi was also very surprised at this time, after all, although there were many people who came to visit the mansion, they had never had such weight.

"Madam, it looks like it's hard to tell the winner today!" Chen Xiaoting stood up and said, obviously playing tricks.

Shen Yi also stood up at this time, followed Chen Xiaoting's side and said with a smile: "The master's chess skills are outstanding, and the concubine thanks the master's subordinates for their mercy!" ”

Chen Xiaoting was a little embarrassed, Shen Yi was laughing at herself!

So he changed the topic and said, "Madam, what do you think is the matter with this Qian Governor's Mansion when he comes to the house?" ”

Of course, Shen Yi couldn't have guessed, so she said, "You won't be here to play chess, right?" ”

Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Madam, you're right, he came to play chess with his husband, and he has already lost!" ”

The husband and wife were chatting, and in the living room in the front yard of the Chen Mansion, Qian Shoude was sitting here with a calm face.

For him, no matter how embarrassing it was to take the initiative to enter Chen Xiaoting's mansion, since he had already entered, he would accept all this calmly.

After being an official for so many years, the ability to govern the people can be lacking, but the way in the world must be tactful.

"Lord Qian, why don't you say anything in advance, it's better to prepare early in the next year, and welcome Lord Qian to come!"

Chen Xiaoting didn't hear it, but it arrived, although it sounded extremely enthusiastic, but it made Qian Shoude feel extremely harsh.

Immediately seeing Chen Xiaoting coming in from outside the door, Qian Shoude stood up and said: "Lord Chen, you have been in Guangde for so many days, and you have not had time to visit this official because of your busy official business, don't blame you!" ”

After Chen Xiaoting came to Qian Shoude, he pulled his sleeve and said, "What are you talking about, Lord Qian, I'm not such a stingy person, let's talk about it...... I should also take the initiative to visit Qian Da is talented! ”

While talking, Chen Xiaoting and Qian Shoude also sat down on the left and right, and on the surface, the two looked like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

"Lord Qian, please use tea...... This is my wife who brought good tea from the capital! Chen Xiaoting picked up the teacup and said.

Tea is naturally good tea, but Qian Shoude didn't come to drink tea, he just heard him say: "Lord Chen, this official is here this time to ask for your help!" ”

Although he knew Qian Shoude's purpose, Chen Xiaoting still asked: "Lord Qian, please say, as long as Chen can do it, there is no other word!" ”

Qian Shoude didn't talk nonsense, and even said: "Lord Chen, Liu Yanghui, the same person in this mansion, was arrested and put in prison by your people, there must be a misunderstanding here, please Lord Chen, raise your noble hand and release Lord Liu!" ”

Chen Xiaoting slowly put down the teacup, and then said: "Lord Qian, the state-owned state has family rules, and Liu Yanghui has evidence of corruption and bribery, how can this official directly release him!" ”

Here, Chen Xiaoting claimed to be his own official, and he had already expressed his attitude, and the next sentence was almost a direct agreement with Qian Shoude.

Qian Shoude was mentally prepared, so he said: "Lord Chen, there will definitely be a misunderstanding here, it is better to hand over this matter to Qian to investigate......

"In this way, Lord Chen, you are also busy with your own affairs, the gangs in the city need Lord Chen to appease, and the White Lotus Sect rebels also need you to suppress ......"

Feeling Qian Shoude's sincerity, Chen Xiaoting had the idea of continuing to talk, otherwise he should have sent off the guests.

After the two bargained again, Chen Xiaoting agreed to release Liu Yanghui.

And the guarantee given by Qian Shoude is that he will not interfere with the gangs in the city in the future, and the well water of the hundred households and the government will not interfere with the river water from now on.

Of course, this is only official, and there is still a condition in private that Liu Yanghui and the few people who were imprisoned with him will also get a benefit fee of 1,000 taels of silver.

This is the benefit that Chen Xiaoting wants for his subordinates, such corrupt officials and big families don't make a fortune, he thinks it's too cheap for these people.

But in the end, Chen Xiaoting and Qian Shoude reached an agreement, which allowed Qian Shoude to leave on his own initiative.

In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Yanghui walked out of the prison of 100 households. Compared to a few days ago, he didn't change much except that he was a little sloppy.

He paid money with several big households, and only then did he step out of the gate of the hundred households, which made them feel free.

Whether it was Liu Yanghui or several other big families, they were in fear every day in the prison, so he went home as soon as possible, and only when they were in the hands of their relatives could they feel warmth.

At night, when the other families staged a reunion drama, the Duan family, the most wealthy family in Guangde, and the heads of the three major families also met here.

"Even the prefect of Qian bowed his head, this Chen Baihu is really powerful!" Hou Pingshan said in a deep voice.

They have long been subdued by Chen Xiaoting, but it does not mean that they are willing, because no one will be willing to give up their interests.

Ning Youyan said: "Who said no, now there is only one of the three major gangs left, and this Guangde Mansion City seems to be completely controlled by him!" ”

Hearing this, Duan Guoan, who had not spoken, said: "So, don't do all the unclean business before!" ”

Those who pour things out of the gate, these things really can't be done......

I only heard Duan Guoan say: "If we don't know how to measure, we don't know whether we are alive or dead...... The incense halls of the Tiger Gang were burned to the ground, you can imagine how ruthless this Chen Baihu is! ”

Hearing this, Ning Youyan and Hou Pingshan both trembled in their hearts.

Originally, they got together to discuss countermeasures, but Duan Guoan chose to surrender completely.

But what can the two of them say? Even they themselves felt that Duan Guoan's decision was correct.

"Let's go back quickly, if people look at it, people will think that we are plotting something!" Duan Guoan said in a deep voice.

Ning Youyan and Hou Pingshan took the initiative to come to him, in Duan Guoan's opinion, they were completely harming themselves, and he didn't want to be misunderstood by Chen Xiaoting.

Duan Guoan issued an eviction order, and Ning Youyan and Hou Pingshan also knew that they couldn't stay longer, so the two of them stood up and said goodbye.

After the two left, Duan Guoan leaned back in his chair, looking extremely tired.

These big families in the eyes of outsiders have no power to resist in front of Jinyiwei, which is completely different from the families in those rich provinces.

For example, those big clans in the Jiangnan area, especially the families that have produced a few Jinshi, Jinyiwei will not easily move them.

And like his Duan family, Jin Yiwei can be erased at will.

So at this time, Duan Guoan also felt the feeling of a villain, the helplessness of life and death.
