Outside the Yuansheng Building.

Luxurious carriages slowly drove from the streets, surrounded by groups of burly warriors.

In the city of Hejian Province, there are many families, but there are only five families at the top.

These five families control the vast majority of the business in the entire Hejian Mansion, that is, there are clansmen in the city of Hejian Mansion.

Although the major families fought each other, they naturally formed an alliance.

Anyone who tries to provoke the Maison will be met with a joint resistance from all the Maisons.

"Brother Zhang!"

A man stepped out of a carriage and arched his hand at the man riding in front of him.

The man in the short coat turned over and dismounted, arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Huaiyuan." ”

Just stepped down from the carriage was the Qin family's second room and one lineage, Qin Huaiyuan.

As for the one who just rode a horse, it was Zhang Yan of the Zhang family in Hejian Mansion, who was the most outstanding person in the young generation of the Zhang family.

Qin Huaiyuan glanced at the restaurant in front of him and said softly: "You say, what is the idea of this Jinyi Wei Baihu from the capital who suddenly invited us?" ”

"Judging from the information I have inquired about, this Baihu does not seem to be an easy person."

Zhang Yan chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of, even if he is a dragon who crosses the river and comes to our territory, he can only hold on." ”

Qin Huaiyuan glanced at him, but didn't say much.

O young man!

Still too young.

He also understands Zhang Yan's style of acting, he is quite rigid, and the Zhang family's generation is pressed by him alone and can't hold his head up, so it is inevitable that he will be arrogant.

But after all, the person this time is a Jinyiwei from the capital, and he is by no means a simple person.

"Let's go."

Qin Huaiyuan walked towards the restaurant with his hands behind his back.

Soon, people sent by major families arrived one after another.

Before Lin Mang was in the future, everyone was already talking.

It can be vaguely seen that among these people, the Zhang and Qin families are faintly headed.

The Qin family is a veteran family in Hejian Mansion, with a heritage of hundreds of years and a profound heritage.

And the Zhang family is a new star in recent years, and there has been a trend of overshadowing the Qin family in recent years.

It didn't take long for Lin Mang to walk in from outside.

Hearing the footsteps, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look.

Almost at the same time, a thought came to mind.

"So young!"

Most of the 100 households in the brocade guard are over thirty years old, and the one in front of him looks like he is just twenty, right?

Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took the lead in getting up and saluting: "Old Zhang Yan, I've seen Lord Lin." ”

Seeing this, everyone stood up and saluted.

In my heart, there is a secret way, this old yin is still as insidious as ever.

Smiling Tiger, Second Master Qin, this is the name given to him on the rivers and lakes of Hejian Mansion.

Lin Mang returned the salute one by one, and greeted everyone for a while, which was a simple acquaintance.

In fact, before he came, he had already learned about many families in Hejian Mansion.

After some hypocritical politeness, Lin Mang clapped his hands lightly.

Soon, a group of brocade guards stepped forward with plates of dishes.

It's just that

Looking at the dishes on the plate, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

It's not because it's extravagant, it's too ordinary and simple.

Although one of the dishes had carved flowers, it was clearly a plate of large radish.

As for the other plate, it is simply boiled cabbage.

The only plate of meat dishes is only faintly visible.

Lin Mang smiled and said, "Come, everyone, move your chopsticks." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the dish directly.

Everyone present looked at each other.

It is no exaggeration to say that they have a casual meal, not to mention dozens or hundreds of taels, and it is really the first time I have seen such a shabby meal.

Lin Mang drank a glass of wine, looked at everyone, and said, "Do you think these dishes are too shabby?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Lin Mang sighed and said, "This official is bitter!" ”

"The army is open, and the cost is huge, and these dishes are all put together by my subordinates little by little."

"Poof!" Tang Qi behind him couldn't hold back and chuckled.

It's clearly a rotten radish found from the back kitchen.

Lin Mang glared at him, and then said, "Don't hide it from you, I invite you to come here today because I want to discuss something with you." ”

Qin Huaiyuan had a faint smile on his face.

He had already guessed that this banquet was not so simple.

Lin Mang drank a glass of wine and said slowly: "This official wants to borrow some silver from you." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Borrow money?

Damn it!

The first time I heard that Jin Yiwei borrowed money from the family.

Qin Huaiyuan immediately smiled and said, "My lord, what you said is out of sight." ”

"What to borrow or not, we can contribute to the suppression of bandits by the imperial court, that is our honor."

"The old man is in charge, and he is willing to take the initiative to give three thousand taels!"

Everyone scolded angrily: "Old fox! ”

Qin Huaiyuan looked at everyone with a smile and sneered in his heart.

A bunch of fools!

If you really wait for someone else to borrow it, it's not just a matter of a few thousand taels.

Do you really think you can return it if you borrow it?

Lin Mang immediately raised his glass and said: "This cup is a tribute to Mr. Qin, and Mr. Qin is noble." ”

Anyway, drink it all.

"But ......"

Lin Mang said leisurely: "I'm afraid three thousand taels is not enough." ”

The smile on Qin Huaiyuan's face gradually froze.

Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the right side, said quietly: "Money, we have it, but I don't know what Lord Lin will use as collateral?" ”

Qin Huaiyuan secretly said that it was not good.

Lin Mangyan glanced at him, chuckled, and slapped the embroidered spring knife on the table.

"Take this!"

"How about 100,000 taels!"

Qin Huaiyuan's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Lin, there is no need to be like this, this is your weapon, I will make up 100,000 taels for you." ”

Zhang Yan said lightly: "Lord Lin, your knife is not worth that much. ”

"I know." Lin Mang bowed slightly, with a faint smile on his face.

"But, Elder Zhang's life should always be worth 100,000 taels, right?"

Zhang Yan's face sank, and his eyes showed murderous intent.

"What does Lord Lin mean?"

Qin Huaiyuan hurriedly played a round and said, "Lord Lin, my Qin family is willing to donate 30,000 taels, why make it unpleasant." ”

Qin Huaiyuan hurriedly gave everyone around him a look.

All the people spoke in response.

Lin Mang's eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced at Qin Huaiyuan deeply, got up and said, "Then thank you very much." ”

Watching Lin Mang leave, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Yan snorted coldly, looking unkind.

Qin Huaiyuan shook his head and said, "If you really do it today, it will be a disaster for your Zhang family." ”

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Jinyi Wei are now gathered here, if you really dare to do it, the destruction of the family is just around the corner.

……

Hejian House, the gate of the city.

A fast horse galloped from a distance, and on horseback, a dusty, blood-stained figure shouted:

"Urgent military intelligence!"

"Salt Mountain is in a hurry!"

Sounds bordering on a roar kept lingering through the streets.

"Bang!"

When the horses ran outside the restaurant, they finally lost their strength and collapsed.

At this moment, Lin Mang had just walked out of the restaurant.

Seeing Lin Mang and his party, the blood-stained Jinyi Wei roared as if he had returned to the light: "Yanshan County is besieged by thousands of horse bandits, Yanshan is in an emergency, please rescue your adults quickly." ”
