Chapter 430: Accepting bribes

Zhen Yan just returned to the study. The ass is not yet hot. The attendant went out of the study again. There was a knock on the door. Respectfully reported: "Master. Xiapi Chen's firm came to pay a visit."

"Please."

Zhen Yan rejoiced in her heart. Get up and go down the hall.

While busy. Zhen Yan didn't feel irritated at all. Opposite. Very excited. Enjoy. Come to the lobby. Zhen Yan meets the visitor. Bow slightly. He said, "You may be seated."

The man who came was thin. It's an old man. After he sat down. Introduce oneself. smiled and said, "Mr. Zhen. Under Chen Ke. It is a side branch of the Chen family in Xiapi. Run the Chen family for the Chen family."

Zhen Yan was quite surprised. Dao: "Dare to ask. But the Chen family where Pei Xiang Chen Qi and Chen Hanyu are."

"Exactly." Chen Ke raised his head and said.

Chen Ke had pride on his face. As if it were a proud peacock.

CHEN Qi. Word Hanyu. Xiapi people. Guanghan Taishou Chen Kang's grandson. Nephew of Taiwei Chen Qiu. Wu Jun Taishou Chen Yu, Ru Yin Taishou Chen Cong's brothers. Up and down the Chen family. All of them are prominent in official positions. It's a glory. The Chen family is in Xiapi. It is a unique family. Look at the whole of Xuzhou. The Chen family also has an unparalleled influence.

Such a family. Even if it can't compare to the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family. But it is also a great clan that dominates one side.

Chen Ke was born in the Chen family. Zhen Yan must weigh carefully.

Zhen Yan has been crawling in the mall for many years. Nor is it a fuel-efficient lamp. chuckle twice. He said lightly: "Chen's firm can come to Jizhou to do business. It is the honor of Jizhou. It is also the honor of the lord. This time the Lecture Conference. Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan and other famous scholars and Confucians have all arrived in Ye County. and always speak with the Lord. I don't know if the Han Yu Guild will come to Ye County."

Words. The corners of Chen Ke's mouth twitched. The pride in his eyes disappeared.

Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning and other great Confucians are here. also talked to Wang Lei. In front of Zheng Xuan. What are you? With Zheng Xuan, he is in charge of Ye County. Chen Ke no longer dared to be presumptuous.

Chen Ke smiled slightly. Dao: "The decision of the head of the family. It is impossible to guess under it. It's hard to tell."

"Han Yugong didn't come to participate. It's a pity. It's a pity."

Zhen Yan held on. Continue to sigh.

Chen Ke was helpless. I had to quickly change the subject. Straight to the point. took the initiative to say: "Mr. Zhen. The old man came to visit. There is one thing to ask for. The land around the venue for this discussion of Taoism and martial arts. Please sir can take care of one or two. After all. Jizhou and Xuzhou trade. There are many benefits that exist. To Jizhou, to Wangzhou. All have immeasurable benefits."

"Good. Okay."

Zhen Yan nodded. Smiled and replied.

Chen Ke clapped his hands. In an instant. Outside the hall. The attendant walked in with a large box.

The box opens. Full of brilliance.

Golden bars. and a lump of silver. There are also countless treasures that shine brightly. Very dazzling.

Chen Ke stroked his beard under his chin. Face with a smile. Said unhurriedly: "Mr. Zhen. This money. Not for you. It's used to dot up. People in officialdom. The rules of officialdom must be followed. This money is used though. As long as you can take the land outside the venue. There is also a good reward under it. This can be done. The Chen family also has generous gifts."

Zhen Yan nodded. A look of interest. But it's still an official article. "I'll take the money. Give Mr. Chen a few tips. But in the end, it didn't work out. I can't guarantee it. You can only do your best."

Chen Ke nodded. Hand over the self-recommendation letter from Chen's firm. Then take your leave and leave.

Send Chen Ke away. Zhen Yan returned to the hall.

Same as before. Zhen Yan asked the attendants in the house to seal the box again. Bring the chests of gold, silver, and jewels to the storehouse and put them away. With the matter of Su Shuang and Chen Ke. Zhen Yan knew that there must be an endless stream of businessmen who came to visit today. So just sit down in the hall and wait. Really. After a while. Another merchant came to visit. Coming businessman. It is also a virtue. Brought money to bribe.

One businessman after another came to visit. I sent a box with money in one bite.

Rare bird. It's so dazzling that people's eyes are spent.

All day. Zhen Yan didn't know how many businessmen he had met. Busy with your feet on the ground. It's late afternoon. Zhen Yan was a little more relaxed. He ordered the closing of the door. No more visits.

in the hall. Zhen Yan asked people to count the items.

A little girl walks up. She was dressed in white. Fluttering clothes.

Melon seed face. No powder. but it shines brightly; Big eyes. The eyes are like a stream of autumn water. Breathtaking; Sakura lips and small mouth. One in between. It has a different style. Although young. But that jing-chic cheeks. At first glance, it is a beautiful embryo. After the girl met Zhen Yan. "Brother. Money and goods sent by merchants. What are you going to do with it?"

Zhen Yan laughed. Said: "Mi'er. Is this an exam school for a brother? For the brother knows that these things can't be kept. I sealed all the boxes. After the business is done. It's all going to be handed over to the lord."

This little girl. It was Zhen Mi. Together with Zhen Yan. Moved from Wuji County to Ye County.

Zhen Mi has a clear mind. Asked, "When will my brother finish his business?"

Zhen Yan thought about it. He replied, "I'm afraid it will take a few days. It's a complicated job. Short-term. Difficult to deal with. Moreover. It's only the first day. There are still many merchants who have not visited. I'm going to cast a wide net. Catch big fish. Select a good enough business to settle in Ye County. I can't live up to the trust of my lord."

Zhen Mi sighed lightly. Said: "Brother. Received money today. It must be delivered tonight. So much money is on the house. Lord Wang must know. You'll send it tonight. to avoid suspicion."

As soon as this remark came out. Zhen Yan was drenched in cold sweat.

Mi'er doesn't remind. I almost made a big mistake for my brother." Zhen Yan nodded. Said: "Mi'er go back to rest. The elder brother sealed all the belongings. Immediately bring someone to send the money to the governor's office. Report to the Lord personally."

Zhen Mi nodded. before turning around and leaving the hall.

"It's really dizzy. Consider yourself faithful. But this kind of thing. What does the Lord Guild think? Hurry up and send it." Zhen Yan muttered to herself. He commanded, "Quick. Fast. Give me speed. Hurry up and seal all the boxes."

When the squire seals the box. Zhen Yan asked people to prepare the team again.

Everything is ready. It's getting completely dark. At this time. Zhen Yan made people light torches. Load the big boxes on the wagon. Personally lead the team to the state pastoral house.

Come to the state governor's house. Zhen Yan directly asked people to knock on the door.

Not much. The door opens. The chamberlain poked his head out. He asked, "Who?" Knocking on the door at night."

Zhen Yan took out a string of five baht coins from his arms. Hand it to the attendant. smiled and said, "Please inform the lord. Zhen Yan has something to see." Words. Zhen Yan put her posture very low.

It's a habit that has been cultivated over many years of doing business. Treat anyone. They are all very kind. Thirty years in Hedong. Thirty years in Hexi. No one could have predicted what it would be like in a few decades. the fifth watch, call it a day;
