After bathing, Chen Mo changed into a white robe.

This white robe was made of fine silk and satin, which was made for him by his sister-in-law Han Anniang, and it was the first time he wore it.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chen Mo wanted to take Zhang He and Lu Yuan to the banquet, but suddenly thought of something, and said: "Brother Shui, let Gao Ming take a few of his brothers from the Qingzhou Army, and then transfer a team of Shen Yongwei to follow me to the Wanhe Tower for the banquet, remember, you must give me armor." ”

"No." Zhang He went down to arrange it.

And going south and north, Lu Yuan, who knows the most about human feelings, reminded: "Immortal Master Chen, wouldn't it be inappropriate to lead the troops to the banquet?" ”

"Suitable, nothing more appropriate than this." Chen Mo waved his hand.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan kept silent, and then went to put on his armor himself.

……

As Pingting County gradually became enveloped in night.

Wanhe Tower, but it is brightly lit, and almost all the upper-class people in the county town have gathered here tonight.

Although this banquet was set up by the Wang and Yi families, other wealthy families and squires in the city also received invitations, but these people have become rich in the past ten years, and they are not as good as the scholars like Wang and Yi.

The heads of the families were all waiting outside the building.

Wang Xiu and his two sons were greeting the head of the family next to them, when suddenly there was a sound of wheels, and they turned their heads to look, only to see two carriages coming together.

When the carriage stopped, Yi Qianqi, the head of the Yi family, and his only daughter, Yi Shiyan, got out of the car.

Wang Xiu's eyes were all attracted by Yi Shiyan.

It's not that she is attracted by beauty, but that a woman can go out of the boudoir before she leaves the cabinet, but she can only be in the wing of her own courtyard, and she can't easily show her face to people outside.

If the country women are okay, the rules are not so strict, plus both men and women have to go out to work, there is no such exquisiteness, and those who have a higher status, the stricter the rules.

Therefore, there is a saying that women do not go out of the door, and the second door does not step.

And now Yi Qianqi brought his only daughter who had not left the cabinet to participate in the banquet, what it meant was self-evident.

"The thousand-foot nephew is really a good means, and he has brought the poetry to me." Wang Xiu walked over, and after glancing at Yi Qianqi, his eyes moved to Yi Shiyan, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen the deer for a long time, and they have grown into slim girls." ”

"Grandpa Wang." Yi Shiyin called sweetly, and then said hello to the person next to her, very polite.

But Yi Qianqi can be the head of the Yi family, and he is also a good person, where can he not hear the meaning of the secret poke in Wang Xiu's words, and said with a smile: "The younger generation is not as open-minded as the uncle, and he made a good bet early, and the younger generation admires it." ”

"Now that the world is in troubled times, human life is like the wild grass in the suburbs, maybe it will be trampled to death at any time, and when you meet the Ming Lord, you must naturally grasp it well."

Wang Xiu is a generation older than Yi Qianqi, and he is already a fox who has become a fine spirit, how can he be stirred by Yi Qianqi's words, and then said: "I heard that the Qinghe Gang and Chang Yuan are deeply involved, some time ago, there were many people in the righteous army outside the city who were poisoned by the Qinghe Gang, and now that the nephew has taken over the Qinghe Gang, it must not be easy." ”

Hearing this, Yi Qianqi's face was slightly gloomy, before Yang Wei died, Chang Yuan handed over the Qinghe Gang to the Yi family to take over, he thought that he could take the opportunity to strengthen the Yi family, but now it has only been a long time, and it has become like this.

The Qinghe Gang has done so many pickled things outside the city, if it is investigated, the Yi family is really enough to drink a big pot.

The rich man and squire next to him didn't dare to talk.

Da-da-da-da!

The crisp sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and everyone's eyes looked at it, but soon their hearts sank.

I saw that at the end of the street, a tall figure came on horseback, white horses and white clothes, looking from a distance, graceful, followed by several horses left and right, and then a team of soldiers in armor.

Seeing that except for the person in front of him, who was not wearing armor, the others were all wearing armor, Wang Xiu and Yi Qianqi glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Especially Yi Qianqi, the solemn color in his eyes is even stronger.

It seems that tonight's dinner is not so delicious.

"Is he Chen Mo?"

Yi Shiyan knew that when she came to the banquet tonight, there was a high probability that she was looking for her husband, so she couldn't help but stare at the man riding the white horse, with big eyes.

The figure was tall

Before coming to the Wanhe Tower, Chen Mo turned over and dismounted, Zhang He raised his arm and shook it, and the soldiers behind him stopped one after another, making a sound of armor leaf rubbing.

Gao Ming and several people also turned over and dismounted, and the tall figures stood around Chen Mo, giving people a sense of oppression.

"County magistrate."

Wang Xiu, Wang Chong, Wang Ran, Yi Qianqi and others greeted each other, and at the same time looked at Chen Mo with vague eyes.

The young man had a handsome face and a tall figure, thinking of his actions last night, a sense of heroic domineering also rushed to their minds, dressed in a white robe, with a smile on his face, and gave people a sense of humility.

Chen Mo nodded, and arched his hand: "Let you wait for a long time, today is busy with official business, if you are offended, please forgive me." ”

"Out of the way."

"The county magistrate's compassion for the people is admirable."

“.”

Wang Xiu and Yi Qianqi took the lead in talking about rainbow farts.

Then it's about the introductions.

"Captain Zhang."

"High Sect Leader."

"Lu Dart Head."

Under Lu Yuan's signal, Chen Mo also knew which one was the current head of the Wang family.

Suddenly, Chen Mo felt that a gaze was secretly looking at him, and he swept it over.

After Yi Shiyan confirmed that the young man was really Chen Mo, she secretly looked at it, her face was handsome, tall and heroic, she compared it in her heart, she was afraid that it was just to his shoulder.

Seeing Daddy and the head of the Wang family greeting the young man so respectfully, Yi Shiyan suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Everyone is Mu Qiang, and there are not many men who have seen him, and at this moment, he is thinking of seeing his husband, so he will naturally make a choice in his heart.

Just as she was looking, a striking gaze swept over, and she noticed that she was caught peeking, her face suddenly turned red, her hands were twisted together, and she said softly: "Little woman Yi. Shiyan, I have seen the county magistrate. ”

"County magistrate, this is a little girl, nicknamed Xiaolu, just call her Xiaolu." Yi Qianqi said on the side.

Chen Mo wanted to take a look and move away, but the girl gave her too pure feeling, so she looked at it a few more times.

A pair of big black and clear eyes, soft and full red lips, and a delicate little Qiong's nose were born delicately on her beautiful, pure, quiet and elegant face, and her pink face can be broken.

The only drawback may be that it is petite and the granary is a bit of a fabric-savvy one.

Yi Shiyan had never been looked at so closely by a strange man, and for a while he only felt that his hands and feet were a little weak, so he hurriedly hid behind Yi Qianqi.

Yi Qianqi's eyes were slightly bright.

Chen Mo nodded, just staggered his gaze, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please." ”

"The county magistrate, please."

Wang Xiu and Yi Qianqi are humane.

Hearing this, Chen Mo did not shirk, and took Zhang He, Gao Ming, and Lu Yuan into the Wanhe Tower, and the rest of the soldiers guarded outside.

Wang Xiu and the others followed.

Wanhe Tower is the most high-end restaurant in the city, but for Chen Mo, who has a modern vision, it is average, but in terms of decoration, it is better than the Zijin Building he went to before.

Under the guidance of Wang Xiu in the rear, several people came to the private room on the third floor.

After another polite gesture, they sat down in turn.

Yi Shiyan didn't come in, but went to the private room next door.

This is the atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty, when men talk about things, women are not allowed to sit down, even if Yi Shiyan is the daughter of a scholar.

Wang Xiu clapped his hands, and the wine and delicacies that had been prepared were served on the table one by one.

After arranging the wine and food and pouring a glass of wine for each person, the staff of Wanhe Tower went out of the private room and brought the door.

As soon as the door closed, Wang Xiu, as the "organizer", raised his glass and said: "The county magistrate is a young hero, so young, he has made such great achievements, which is admirable, and the old man respects the county magistrate with a glass." ”

"Wang Yuanwai is polite." Chen Mo said.

After that, Yi Qianqi and others came to give Chen Mo a cup, and then they gave Zhang He and Gao Ming a few people.

Zhang He is a mud leg, he followed Chen Mo to get to where he is today, he has never seen any big scenes, and he suddenly became restrained and uncomfortable.

The same is true for Gao Ming, who was only a big soldier before.

However, Lu Yuan greeted him left and right, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and talked happily.

After Zhang He and Gao Gao knew that they were not good at socializing, they almost buried their heads in the back, worked silently, and basically did not say a word.

After a simple acquaintance, Wang Xiu finally got down to business, and said: "The county magistrate is a young hero, the old man is really admired, the old man sees that the county magistrate is diligent and loves the people, and now the city is in ruins, and the old man is willing to give 10,000 stone of grain and 100,000 yuan to help the county magistrate relieve refugees and appease people's hearts." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the private room were quiet, and the secret Wang family was really wealthy.

You must know that in the Great Song Dynasty, one stone of grain was almost a hundred catties.

10,000 stones, that's 1 million catties.

This shot is really generous.

Yi Qianqi secretly scolded the old fox.

Chen Mo raised his head, returned a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Tonight, I was also about to tell you about this, now that I am in charge of Pingting County, the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, you are all respected people in the city, if you can help me appease the hearts of the people, it is really my luck, Wang Yuanwai is really my confidant." ”

Hearing Chen Mo's words, everyone's hearts were shocked.

The so-called soothing people's hearts is just a cliché.

The meaning behind it is that they ask for money and food, and they also use their prestige to recruit talents and provide all available resources, how can they not understand?

"I am willing to give 30,000 stone of grain, 200,000 yuan to help the county magistrate, help the county magistrate to appease people's hearts, and Qinghe helps the disciples, and the county magistrate is mobilized and recruited." Seeing that Wang Xiu had been robbed, and he was so generous, Yi Qianqi, who originally only planned to give out 20,000 stone of grain, immediately gritted his teeth and cut the meat.

This time, it can be regarded as taking out most of the Yi family's property.

"Hey, Yi Yuanwai, how embarrassing is this, last time you explained the innate aura to me, and helped me break through to the middle grade martial artist, I haven't thanked you yet, how can this make it" Chen Mo said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yi Qianqi: "......"

If you are grateful, why didn't you say it before, when you met just now, it was the same as the first meeting.

Now that I have given money and food, I know that I am gracious.

However, knowing that the other party was really a middle-grade martial artist, Yi Qianqi's heart was still shocked, and he said: "The county magistrate doesn't have to be polite, this is what Yu should do." ”

"Since it's a piece of the mind outside the change, then I'll accept it." Chen Mo said.

With the Wang and Yi families taking the lead, the rest of them also expressed their willingness to help Chen Mo.

Some came out of three thousand stones, and some of them came out of five hundred stones.

In short, they all have money to contribute and have a strong contribution.

Chen Mo was a little disappointed, he originally wanted to perform a chicken killing tonight.

He also deliberately brought a team of Divine Guards.

As a result, no one wants to be this chicken.

What he didn't know was that if he was the county commander of Shangguan, these scholars would definitely unite to give him a dismissal.

But he's a thief.

What is a thief, he is not merciless when he kills people.

There are so many examples in the north, do they dare to do that?

As the saying goes, a good person has to be held at gunpoint.

However, Chen Mo quickly thought of this.

Take the Ming Dynasty as an example, before the Qing army entered the customs, the big families were unwilling to pay, saying that they had no money.

But what about after the Qing army entered the customs?

That's millions of taels of silver.
