Chapter Ninety-Three: The Golden Grotto
The guard replied, "Yes, but the kid surnamed Shi is also there, and he is probably talking to the Commander." ”
Hearing that Shi Yan was there, Jiang Xuguang immediately stopped, turned around and left after thinking for a moment or two, and left a sentence to the guards:
"There was time to come to me for a drink. ”
Inside the main church.
Zhen Yan was sipping tea, and when he saw Shi Yan coming in, he immediately smiled and got up to greet him.
"Little brother Shi Yan, are you here, sit down and drink tea. ”
"Subordinates, see Commander Zhen Yan. Shi Yan bowed slightly.
"What is the name of the commander, you and I are both confidants of the hall master, just call me Brother Zhen in private. Zhen Yan smiled and pulled Shi Yan to sit aside, with a small table in the middle and a tea tray on it.
"The subordinates don't dare. Shi Yan had a serious face and looked dull.
"You still claim to be a subordinate? If you don't call it again, Zhen will look down on me as a big brother. Zhen Yan's face was solemn.
"Brother Zhen!" Shi Yan stood up suddenly, and said with excitement on his face: "I didn't expect that Brother Zhen is such a good-natured man, and he has an appetite for me Shi Yan. ”
Shi Yan stared at Zhen Yan sincerely, and had the intention of bowing immediately.
Zhen Yan sat on the chair, looked at Shi Yan with a sincere expression, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, after a long time, he reacted, got up and pulled Shi Yan to sit down again, and said seriously: "Don't worry, don't worry, you just arrived at the branch hall, you don't know anything, official business first, priority!"
"Brother Zhen's lesson is extremely true. Shi Yan nodded heavily.
Zhen Yan thought about it for a moment or two, and was not polite, and said directly: "You just joined, I don't know a lot of things, so I will help you introduce our southwest branch to my brother, each branch is managed by the deputy hall master sent by the main hall, but because our hall master is in power, the deputy hall master has become an idle position, and he can't go out of retreat."
The three of us reported directly to the main hall, that is, the lord of the Ran hall, but the southwest branch hall was not completely in our hands, and the main hall would occasionally send the Dharma Protector to inspect it. ”
Zhen Yan took a sip of tea and continued: "The entire southwest city area is very large, but there are not many areas under the control of our Zhenwu Hall, and the three commanders add up to only more than seventy streets, which belong to my streets, and the exact number is twenty-three.
I have four big leaders under my command, each of whom is in charge of four or five streets, and the rest are under my direct jurisdiction, and the city in the southwest that belongs to our Zhenwutang is also under our control. ”
Hearing this, Shi Yan asked, "Then Brother Zhen, what are our usual tasks or duties?"
Zhen Yan answered all the questions, and said quickly: "You also know that we are in the territory of the imperial dynasty, we are the people of the imperial dynasty, and in Mingliang Mansion, the official government is the will of the imperial dynasty, since all this is the imperial dynasty, then why do they let us seize the streets, compete for resources?
The benefits and the pay are the same, we have to pay as much as we take, the city has the protection of the imperial array, and the fortune of the dynasty is related, the big demons cannot invade it, but those county towns or big cities, without the protection of the big array, how to resist the demons and monsters? It is related to us. ”
Shi Yan poured himself a cup of tea and listened to Zhen Yan slowly.
Zhen Yan continued: "Your duty is simple and simple, not easy to say, in simple terms, it is to hold the territory, not lose a street, and at the same time suppress those wealthy clans and collect commercial taxes. ”
"What about the hard ones?" Shi Yan filled Zhen Yan with a cup of tea.
"It's not easy?" Zhen Yan took the teacup and drank it all, and sneered: "Of course it's to eliminate ghosts, our True Martial Arts Hall are all martial artists, and we don't have the strength to destroy ghosts, the main thing is to assist Xuan Heaven's spiritual cultivation, whoever has a ghost in your jurisdiction will assist."
The position you took over was vacant when the last big boss assisted in Xuantian's spiritual cultivation, and he died unexpectedly. ”
"Understood. Shi Yan bowed.
Speaking of this, Zhen Yan's eyes flickered, and he said warmly: "Your predecessor originally took over four streets, Changshui Street, Baoze Street, Guanquan Street, Ruidong Street, and a big city, many small cities, among which Ruidong Street became a mess because of the death of your predecessor, and was divided and seized by major forces.
But as long as you want to snatch it back, it's very easy, see a little blood, and now I'll let you take it over, how about it?
Speaking of this, Zhen Yan laughed a few times, waiting for Shi Yan's thanks.
The hall master said that that street is the most prosperous place in the southwest city, and there are a lot of commercial taxes, so let me manage it well, and I will send the Dharma Protector to inspect it in a few days, and if it doesn't work, the management power will be taken back to the main hall. Shi Yan's eyes widened and he spoke out the doubts in his heart.
Hearing this, Zhen Yan's expression froze, and then he patted his head and said: "Hey, look at my brother's brain, little brother Shi Yan, you just came and didn't know, this Hongfang Street is built by the river, a place for fireworks and fun, there are countless Qinglou Chu Pavilions, and the three sects and five streams in it are very chaotic, not to mention those small forces, even the two associations often come to make trouble, I'm not afraid that you are not familiar with it when you first come, and I will help you manage it for a period of time." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhen Yan saw Shi Yan's wide-eyed and silent appearance, and said: "Since the hall master believes in you, then it must be done, and I will also hand over this Hongfang Street to you to manage." ”
"Brother Xie Zhen. Shi Yan hurriedly got up and thanked him.
"What's polite to Brother Zhen. Zhen Yan also got up, with a smile on his face.
"I'm busy with official business, so the little brother will retire first and stop nagging Brother Zhen. Shi Yan arched his hand and turned to leave.
Zhen Yan just smiled and watched Shi Yan leave, during which Shi Yan turned around and waved his hand, until he couldn't see Shi Yan anymore, the smile on Zhen Yan's face disappeared, and there was anger in his eyes, eager to kill!
Hung Fang Street ......
Out of the main hall, Shi Yan's face returned to cold, led the horse away, and after leaving a hundred meters, he glanced back and couldn't help sneering.
Hongfang Street is the most prosperous street in the southwest city, just because of its particularity, next to the riverbank, the willow hangs down the embankment, the whole street is the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, brings together the famous prostitutes of the whole Mingliang Mansion City, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient, attracting the wealthy family owners, and the door valve is countless.
Such a gold hole, Zhen Yan wants to swallow it without saying a word, how is it possible!
When he learned from Sifanglou that the previous one actually owned Hongfang Street, he couldn't help but be shocked, this street was too famous.
If there was no information about Sifang Building, this street would have really been swallowed by Zhen Yan, and it would be too late to cry, and the sum of those four streets would not be half of Hongfang Street!
The four streets are said to be four, but in fact, there are only three left, Ruidong Street is occupied and divided by other forces, it is really as good as Zhen Yan said, Zhen Yan sent someone to solve it earlier, as for the delay to form a mess now?
