The Chen family's father and daughter returned to the main hall, Chen Enxu walked in front, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Zhang Yuan sitting calmly, and this performance did not seem to be pretending at all. He immediately had a good impression of this young man, but at the same time, Chen Enxu also apologized, after all, it was not a little good feeling to let him marry his daughter.

Where did Zhang Yuan know the thoughts of others, the reason why he didn't look anxious, nor angry or panicked, was entirely because he had been chatting with the plug-in spirit just now.

After Chen Enxu sat down, he put his hands on the armrests on both sides, leaned forward to look at Zhang Yuan and said, "Your name is Zhang Yuan, right, I just have bad news to tell you here." Here's the thing, after we took over Fu Yun yesterday, we immediately handed him over to General Tong. However, the people of the Prayer Society were still too cunning, they had already put on the armor of soldiers, pretended to be General Tong's subordinates, and robbed Fu Yun and the big man on the way. ”

"Shhhh Zhang Yuan immediately stood up when he heard this, this is really bad news, he originally thought that the relationship with the Prayer Society could end here, but he didn't expect that now it is a wave of unsettled waves, "Lord Chen, my companions don't know the news yet, I have to go back and tell them quickly." Well, I'll take my leave. ”

"Wait, you can't walk yet." Chen Enxu called out to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan's heart was naturally tight, he had already thought of an excuse to slip away outside, and he didn't want to stay for a long time by taking advantage of the topic at this time. He knew that it would be okay for Chen Enxu to stop him at this time, but Zhang Yuan was not very afraid, so he just turned around and asked, "Lord Chen, do you have anything else important?" ”

"Of course there is, in fact, General Tong gave me the task of re-arresting Fu Yun, but I don't know the hiding place of the Prayer Society, and secondly, I don't have enough to fight those thieves' subordinates, so I really can't complete the task assigned by General Tong. Therefore, I would like to ask you for your help in arresting Fu Yun. Chen Enxu said his purpose.

OK.

Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that Chen Qianyun didn't talk nonsense after following up, and he should have clarified the misunderstanding of the fake marriage. As soon as he thought of this, he bowed down and apologized to Chen Enxu: "Fu Yun and the others are ruthless, and I have no intention of continuing to oppose them, so I also ask Lord Chen to invite another master, and I will leave first." ”

"Stop." Looking at Zhang Yuan, who turned around again, Chen Enxu raised his voice and shouted again, "You know that Fu Yun is ruthless, and you should also think that you have ruined his good deeds, and it is very likely that you will be retaliated." Help me catch them, and it will be good for you and me when it happens. Besides, I won't treat you badly, I heard Qianyun say that you are now penniless and sent to the fence, and it is not difficult for me to solve these two problems. ”

Zhang Yuan made a mistake now, because what he said before was also true. Although the Prayer Society is at the end of its rope, it is still much stronger than himself, and if Fu Yun is officially wanted by Xishan City, there is no need for him to fight against him to the end.

"Brother Hang, do I accept it or not? I'm always worried that Chen Enxu is playing tricks on me, but I don't know what Qianyun just said to him. Zhang Yuan couldn't make a decision for a while, so he had to secretly ask the Plug-in Spirit for help.

"Why not accept it? I don't know exactly what is going on here, but judging from what you've just told me, it's a good idea to work with Chen Enxu to avoid retaliation from praying for misfortune. ”

As soon as the spirit of the plug-in said this, Zhang Yuan thought about it carefully and found that the advantages of cooperation did outweigh the disadvantages. Besides, Chen Enxu is also a strong man on this side, because there is really no need to deal with him for this kind of thing.

It's just that Zhang Yuan doesn't know that Chen Enxu is really harmful to people now, but then again, even if Zhang Yuan doesn't accept the proposal today, Chen Enxu has a way to torture him.

Chen Enxu saw that Zhang Yuan was silent for a long time, and thought that the latter was unwilling, but at this time, Zhang Yuan spoke: "Since Lord Chen has said this, then I might as well be respectful." ”

Hearing what Zhang Yuan said, Chen Enxu secretly glanced at his daughter, and said in his heart I haven't shaken out the fact that they stole things, this kid is obedient, it seems that he is not very good.

What he was thinking about was one thing, and Chen Enxu wouldn't say it: "Okay, then you can rest in my house tonight, so we can have a good discussion and discuss how to sweep away the remnants of the prayer meeting." ”

"Yes, but I have a reluctant request before that." Zhang Yuan thought to himself that if he didn't agree like this, he would not be able to do so, at most, he would find another opportunity to talk to everyone who was still in the Grange, "Lord Chen also said just now, I am penniless now, so I hope that my lord can give me a hundred gold coins first." ”

Chen Enxu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he glanced at Chen Qianyun again: "One hundred gold coins is too little, so let's do it, since you are short of money now, I will ask the housekeeper to get you five hundred gold ear coins, you use it first, if it is not enough, you can open your mouth." ”

said this in his mouth, but Chen Enxu's heart was different. Is five hundred too much for him? This amount is not small, but it is too cost-effective to buy his daughter with five hundred gold coins that he doesn't like Zhang Yuan. When he saw Chen Qianyun's stunned expression, Lord Chen's heart blossomed with happiness.

"Old Su!" After Chen Enxu finished speaking, he shouted outside, and the middle-aged man who had come out to greet Zhang Yuan and Chen Qianyun together hurriedly walked in from the outside, waiting for his master's orders.

Chen Enxu pointed to Zhang Yuan, who was sitting below: "This is a distinguished guest in the house, you have to live here for the next few days, you are so entertained, don't be lazy." In addition, you go to the treasury and bring out five hundred gold coins, which is a gift from me to your guests. ”

"Yes." The butler answered, turned and walked outside.

"By the way, you can take some more money and reward those mercenaries outside. I think it's enough for one person to reward two coins. ”

"Yes."

After a while the butler returned with another servant, each with a tray of red silk on it. Zhang Yuan knew at a glance that under the silk was the money taken by the housekeeper, but he didn't know which pile of money in the hands of the housekeeper and the servant was his own.

Chen Enxu beckoned to the housekeeper and called the other party to him and whispered a few words. Zhang Yuan didn't know what they were talking about when they were carrying their backs mysteriously, but looking at Chen Enxu's eyes floating over from time to time, he could know that it was related to him.

After a secret conversation, the housekeeper came to Zhang Yuan with a tray and said, "Lord Zhang, this is your money, may I ask if this money is in your room or ......?"

"I'll hold it for him." Chen Qianyun walked over and didn't say a word, and took the tray directly from the housekeeper. This move made the housekeeper stunned, but he didn't dare to say that he wouldn't let go, so he could only watch his eldest lady take all the money.

"Qianyun, what are you doing here, why don't you return the money quickly?" Chen Enxu hurriedly stood up and said to Chen Qianyun.

But where was Chen Qianyun willing to be obedient, she snorted and grabbed the tray tightly: "You just talked so much to Steward Su, didn't you just tell him to take Zhang Yuan well?" Now that I have all his money in my hands, won't he just have to stay here? Dad, you should thank me. Zhang Yuan, let's go. ”

"This ......" Chen Enxu watched Chen Qianyun leave with the tray, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only wave his hand at the housekeeper and let the latter go to distribute the money to the private soldiers first.

Zhang Yuan hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to Chen Enxu, but he still had to go and recover the money.

"What are you doing here, is your eldest lady still lacking my five hundred gold coins, won't it be because you feel sorry for your family's money and don't want to give it to me?" When Zhang Yuan went out, he saw Chen Qianyun standing outside waiting for him, so he walked down the steps with a smile, and didn't forget to joke in the middle.

"Hmph, I won't give it. Unless you tell me first, what do you want to do with my father's money? ”

Zhang Yuan raised his chin at Steward Su, who was walking out: "I'm going to do the same thing as them, let's go, let's talk as we go." ”

In fact, Zhang Yuan had just thought of such a thing, otherwise he would not have asked Chen Enxu for money, and he explained to Chen Qianyun as he walked: "I thought I couldn't go back now, but if the Grange was attacked by Fu Yun because of my relationship, my sin would be great." If I can't guarantee the safety of the Grange, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well here. ”

"Could it be that you want this money to hire private soldiers from outside?" Chen Qianyun looked at the money in his hand and asked.

The private soldiers in Xishan City are divided into two categories, the difference is actually similar to the length and short-term work, some mercenaries are employed by nobles all the year round, such as the two guards at the gate of Chen's mansion; Some were only hired when the nobles needed manpower, and their lives were a little more precarious.

The "bounty hunters" lined up outside are naturally the latter type, Zhang Yuan stepped out of the door and looked at the steward Su and the servants who were handing out the money: "I plan to find some people to stay at the Grange for a while, at least to ensure that during this time, Taimeng and they will not have an accident." ”

"Cut, I thought you were such a greedy person, and you asked my father for money when you opened your mouth, so you had this idea. Alas, then why don't you just tell my dad that you need someone to protect the Grange, and he will help you pay for it? Chen Qianyun tilted his head and asked.

"I don't want to fake this kind of thing yet, and you know, I'm afraid of these nobles, including your father. But I don't know what your father thinks, he wants me to stay and help catch Fu Yun, and I don't know where this Fu Yun is. Zhang Yuan complained as he spoke.

"It's like my dad eats people." Chen Qianyun muttered dissatisfiedly, "By the way, I told my father everything about the night I met you." ”

Zhang Yuan was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"What else can I do, you come to my house to steal...... Oh, but I didn't say you stole the drawings of the textile machinery, I said you stole money and I bumped into it. ”

Zhang Yuan gasped when he heard this, but this expression didn't stay on his face for too long, it was just a matter of stealing some money, and he was not afraid that Chen Enxu would use the topic to play, anyway, he was poor and white now. Zhang Yuan also knows now, if he doesn't agree to stay, I'm afraid that Chen Enxu will hide this trick behind him to threaten him.

Forget it, I don't want to do these things, and now that my plug-in renewal is successful, this kind of thing is a trivial matter.
