Ancheng County, Dongxia Restaurant, this restaurant was originally a restaurant outside Qian Yuan, that is, Qiu Leng, after Qiu Leng's death, Xu Chuan also confiscated Qiu Leng's family's property. Among them, there is naturally this restaurant. Xu Chuan passed it to Aunt Su's name.

The property under the name of Qian Yuanwai forcibly occupied other people's, Xu Chuan naturally returned them one by one, and the former worked hard by himself, and no one claimed it, so he laughed at it.

At this moment, the restaurant was very lively, and the squires and talents in the county town gathered together to greet Lord Jiang with the county order.

Xu Chuan and Jiang Youde sat leaning against each other at the main table, Xu Chuan was accompanied by Luo Xingtang and Li Ming, Jiang Youde was next to the middle-aged Jiang Wangsun, and the pretty girl Jiang Baobao.

"Xu County Order, the old man has heard of Lord Xu's prestige in Dingjiang Mansion City, and I heard that Qiu Leng and other big thieves were arrested in the hands of Xu County Order, and he is really young and promising." Jiang Youde smiled and laughed heartily.

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "This official just did his duty. ”

He looked at Jiang Youde in front of him, and the words "favorability 20" appeared in his mind.

The 20 favorability was earned by waiting at the city gate for half a day. This Jiang Youde is really not like the legendary character, and his character is extremely bad. Of course, who in officialdom is not wearing a mask.

"Option one, be low-key and humble, +50 luck."

"Option two, draw a line in a high-profile manner, luck -50."

Xu Chuan looked at the options in his mind, and finally understood that it was not easy for those who were officials.

"It's a good duty, what Xu County Ling said is very true, we are officials, our duty should be to govern one side, eliminate violence, be safe and educate the people, Xu County Ling is young, but he has already understood the way of the official thoroughly, he is really young and promising." Jiang Youde said with a smile.

"Admire, Master Xu, I would like to give you a drink." The middle-aged man, Jiang Wangsun, immediately got up to toast.

"Come, little sister also toasts Lord Xu." The pretty woman Jiang Baobao also raised her glass and said charmingly.

Xu Chuan responded with a smile, and he looked at the two people in front of him.

Jiang Wangsun, the favorability is minus 10, and Jiang Baobao, the favorability is 38. These two, one is Jiang Youde's godson, and the other is his goddaughter.

The Jiang family has a history of 100 years in Dingjiang Mansion, but it has never been so strong before, Jiang Youde liked to deal with some ruffians in Dingjiang Mansion when he was young, because he relied on the Jiang family's heritage, learned the martial arts of the family, and refined his qi, he was brave and ruthless with people, but he didn't want to kick the hard stubble at once, provoke the people who shouldn't be provoked, and let the family hurt their children, grandchildren, and roots, resulting in the age of over seventy, and there is still no heir incense.

As the brother became the prefect of Dingjiang Mansion, the Jiang family's position in Dingjiang Mansion became more and more stable, and Jiang Youde also relied on the relationship between the prefect brothers to get an official position, so he lacked heirs, but what should he do if he can't give birth to this thing? I couldn't stand others saying that he had done too many evil things, and he lacked virtue and smoked to kill his children and grandchildren, so he began to recognize his godson and goddaughter's routine, I heard that there are as many as eight or nine godsons of Jiang Youde, and his goddaughter... That's more.

However, this Jiang Wangsun doesn't seem to have a good impression of him.

"Brother Wang? But Wang Jinghe, brother Wang? ”

Just as they were drinking happily at one table, a middle-aged squire sitting at another table suddenly came over and looked at Jiang Wangsun Dao in surprise.

Jiang Wangsun seemed to be stunned when he heard this call, he looked up, and the middle-aged squire suddenly looked happy, and hurriedly smiled:

"Sure enough, it's you, Brother Wang, I just saw something like you, but I didn't dare to recognize it, you have changed a lot. It's thinner than when we entered the city and tried it. ”

"Yu Juren, do you know?" Xu Chuan was surprised.

"Know, of course I know, Brother Wang and I have been friends for many years." Yu Juren enthusiastically talked about how he met Jiang Wangsun back then.

Listening to his story, Jiang Wangsun quickly glanced at Jiang Youde next to him and the people who came next to him, and then his face turned pale and said: "Brother Yu, I haven't seen it for many years, the vicissitudes of life have changed, and now it is no longer called Wang Jinghe, but Jiang Wangsun." ”

Yu Juren was stunned, Jiang Wangsun, this name... Then he suddenly realized that he understood, and hurriedly apologized, and after saluting Jiang Youde and Xu Chuan, he said softly to Jiang Wangsun: "Brother Jiang, you must go to my house for a gathering after the banquet, you and I will catch up." ”

Jiang Wangcai nodded coldly.

The small and fragmented discussions around him sounded, and it seemed that they were all saying that he changed his name and surname and recognized others as his father, no matter when, it was shameful to change his name and surname and not recognize his ancestors.

"Wangsun, come and pour wine for Lord Xu." Jiang Youde glanced at him and said coldly.

Jiang Wangcai raised his head in astonishment.

Xu Chuan said: "Don't bother..."

"This is what I should do, Lord Xu is an official for one term and benefits one party, I admire it very much." Jiang Wangcai looked at Xu Chuan with a smile and poured wine for Xu Chuan in person.

Xu Chuan held the wine glass and looked at the Jiang Wangsun in front of him, and his favorability plummeted to minus sixty.

He could only smile and drink the wine in his glass.

This Jiang Wangsun is obviously angry in his heart, and it is difficult for him to maintain a smiling face like this.

Jiang Baobao on the side also got up and enthusiastically poured wine for Xu Chuan, Jiang Wangsun saw it in his eyes, and the smile on his face was even worse.

Jiang Youde and Xu Chuan talked freely, Xu Chuan is not one of those people in this world who has really read poetry and books, and he has no contempt for Jiang Youde, who is in a position based on nepotism.

The two talked, and Jiang Youde's favorability towards Xu Chuan increased a little.

"I'm old, Xu County Ling is young and promising, there is still a chance in cultivation, if one day I can practice and succeed, it will be amazing." Talking and talking about cultivation.

How can the prefect of Dingjiang become a prefect is due to the imperial court, and the cultivation has reached the innate level, and there is a strong governance ability, so he sat on the prefect's seat.

The more important the official position in the court, the more important the official position, the one who is good at cultivating is the one who is the important minister of the court. After all, the levels involved are all different.

"This official is still working hard." Xu Chuan said with a smile.

"Well, don't slack off." The more Jiang Youde looked at Xu Chuan, the more pleasing it was to the eye.

Jiang Wangsun on the side poured wine for Xu Chuan again and again, but the look in his eyes became more and more gloomy. This is not a bad feeling for Xu Chuan, but his own depression, in terms of refining qi, he really has no talent, how can he be so good.

This reception banquet was enjoyed by the guests and hosts.

After that, Jiang Youde and his godson and goddaughter returned to Xingzai, but an old servant beside him returned to the county government with Xu Chuan.

In the hall of the mansion, Xu Chuan retreated left and right, looking at the servant in front of him, he hadn't paid attention to this subordinate before, but when he was facing each other at this moment, he found that this servant who was not amazing in appearance ...... When the latter didn't speak, he was as silent as a shadow, but when he spoke, his whole body suddenly exuded an incomparable fierce momentum, and this momentum also contained a demonic aura that made people look sideways.

Innate master!

"Master, this person is really cold and weird, he should be good at assassination tricks such as sneak attacks, the murderous aura is so strong, I am afraid that there are many people who die in his hands, but since he is willing to work for the Jiang family, the strength of frontal fighting will not be too strong." The snow mountain swordsman sniffed and analyzed with his nose, and finally belittled the other party.

This old servant is a monk in the late congenital period.

A congenital master also wants to live, he needs money, he needs power, and even if he wants to go further, he needs to rely on some forces, he is the master arranged by the Jiang family for Jiang Youde, but in the Jiang family, his status is not low, let alone really serving Jiang Youde.

Xu Chuan secretly said in his heart, the prefect Jiang family is really extraordinary, but he is not afraid at all. If he really wants to make a move, he has eight points of certainty to kill the old servant in front of him in an instant.

The old servant deliberately showed his momentum, and when he saw that Xu Chuan's face remained unchanged, he secretly said that although this county order is young, his heart is indeed extraordinary, so he said straight to the point:

"Lord Xu, I'm here to ask Lord Xu, is this inspection comment good or bad? If you want the prefect to take more care of Ancheng County, it is better to rectify and rectify. ”

Xu Chuan smiled as expected: "What do you say." ”

"As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, as long as the adults are willing, I will talk to the adults of my family, and naturally there is no need for Xu Xianling to worry." He laughed.

"Oh... You speak so effectively? ”

The servant laughed, "Naturally. I just don't know if Xu County Lingyong needs to help this little favor. ”

His voice fell.

Xu Chuan's mind came up with the decision option: "

First, stern refusal. Luck -30.

Two, let him help. Silver taels - 50,000 taels, luck +20. ”

"Three, ask him for help, and let him say a few more kind words in front of Jiang Youde. Silver taels - 100,000 taels, luck +50. Jiang Youde's opinion +50. ”

Xu Chuan was speechless, wasn't this forcing him to pay a bribe? Take money to buy luck? Is this also the work of a man on the right path?

But after thinking about it, Xu Chuan figured out that many corrupt officials were scolded because they looted the people's fat and ointment, levied taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and wantonly amassed wealth.

Xu Chuan, his money is different from those corrupt officials who have no ability and only know how to bully the people and loot the people, his money comes from the autumn inspection school, Qiu Leng is the hands of these thieves, some gold, silver jewelry, and antique collections are worth millions.

Money? He really doesn't lack it.

In fact, money is not valued at all by some people in cultivation, such as Ning Hongliang, who has a prominent family background and is young, who pays more attention to cultivation, treasures, self-improvement, and court merit.

But there are some people who have no hope in their cultivation and just want to leave some savings for future generations, such as this old servant, Jiang Youde, who is crazy.

The decision option is to let Xu Chuan use the money to pave the way for himself... So that his official road will not be narrowed?

Thinking in his heart, Xu Chuan pondered slightly for a moment before asking:

"How much does it cost?"

"Although the old servant's vision is not high, he is not called a flower child, and he will naturally look down on him if he is too little." He looked at Xu Chuan and said with a smile: "Fifty thousand taels, the old servant will do this for Xu County." ”

"The official will pay 100,000 taels, but not only will he be excellent, but he will also want the prefect to take more care of the people of Ancheng County in the future." Xu Chuan took out a stack of silver tickets directly from his arms.

100,000 taels?

The old servant was startled.

Many county orders are willing, and taking out 50,000 taels is a lot, but this Xu county order actually took out 100,000 taels?

"Well said."

The old servant hurriedly reached out to take it, but before his palm touched the silver ticket, he felt a flower in front of him, and the stack of silver tickets had reached his throat.

"It's so fast..."After all, the old servant is a congenital master, and he was suddenly shocked in his heart, if this is a dagger, he is afraid that he will already be in a different place now.

"I'm in trouble, brother." Xu Chuan said with a smile and stuffed the silver ticket into the servant's arms.

"Haha, Lord Xu, don't worry, the old servant will definitely bring Lord Xu's words." The old servant smiled, but the laughter was much more solemn, although this Xu County Commander was not congenital, but his strength was not lower than his own, he originally wanted to open his mouth again, but he didn't dare at this time.

At the moment, the rules and regulations retreated.

……

Jiang Youde, Jiang Wangsun, Jiang Baobao and others looked at the silver tickets brought by the old servant.

"Fifty thousand taels, this Xu County Order is really on the top. Yes, it is worth cultivating. Jiang Youde smiled.

"Yes, this Xu County Commander is a good official, and you have to say a few more kind words to the prefect when you go back." The old servant also said. He took 50,000 taels, of course, to speak to Xu Chuan.

Jiang Wangcai and Jiang Baobao next to him looked at the light in front of their eyes.

For a long time, Jiang Baobao stayed to serve, and Jiang Wangsun retreated.

"This Xu County Order is really rich, I also have to find a way to knock on two bamboo poles, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and pulling the tiger skin is my forte." Jiang Wangsun's heart was itching, it was 50,000 taels, and he said he would take it out?

Just as he was plotting in his heart,

"Jiang Gongzi, there is a person surnamed Yu outside who asks to see him, claiming to be your friend." A subordinate came to tell you.

"Again?" Jiang Wangsun's face suddenly turned cold. This Yu Juren, he has already lost face, and he is still here?

Immediately rushed out. When he saw Yu Juren at a glance, he was about to get angry, but suddenly saw a beautiful woman next to Yu Juren, and when he saw the woman's appearance clearly, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"Brother Yu." Jiang Wangsun spoke.

"Brother Jiang." Yu Juren looked at it and hurriedly said: "Madam, this is what I often call Brother Wang, if he didn't support me back then, I would have starved to death, and I wouldn't have been able to lift people." Brother Jiang, our husband and wife prepare food and drinks, and invite Brother Jiang to come over for a while. ”

"I've seen Brother Jiang." The beautiful lady saluted respectfully, he had been told by her husband not to call the surname Wang, but to call the surname Jiang.

"Excuse me, I forgot all about the past." Jiang Wangsun grinned, but his eyes stayed on the beautiful lady.
