I saw that at the back of the conference hall, a middle-aged man with a short beard rolled out of the curtain, his expression was unwavering, and he was slowly walking to a seat in the center, followed by several major gang leaders and wealthy businessmen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The middle-aged man looked to be in his forties, with a thin face and a short beard under his chin. He wore an official uniform, which was the county order of the Song Kingdom, with wide cuffs and swinging with him, looking quite magnificent.

The eight people who followed him were all big names who were known to everyone in the county. The first person was Qiu Jilong, the leader of the Hong Gang, and the second person was Feng Yu, the leader of the Iron Fist Gang.

This Feng Yu was about fifty years old, wearing a dark blue robe, with gray hair and a clear face, which looked inconspicuous.

The Iron Fist Gang and the Hong Gang have been in dispute for a long time, and since their previous gang leader was defeated by Qiu Bonian, they have been losing the upper hand in the battle. This Feng Yu is still half a generation younger than Qiu Bo, and he is even more pressed by him and can't raise his head, and he is miserable.

But I don't know if it's because adversity makes people work hard, under the shadow of Qiu Bonian, Feng Yu actually broke through to the Dacheng realm in one fell swoop and re-supported the Iron Fist Gang.

What is strange is that Feng Yu, as the leader of the Iron Fist Gang, has a long sword on his back.

The simple and heavy hilt of the sword, the scabbard with fine carving and inlaid jade, I don't know what kind of edge is hidden.

Qingshi County is the largest county seat in Luoyun County except for the county seat, and its status as a county commander is naturally extraordinary.

The full name of this Min County Commander is called Min Yong, and it is said that after the founding of the Min Dynasty, he has a profound family background, and many clansmen are officials in the court.

Seeing that the Min County order came out, everyone quieted down and stopped talking casually.

Looking at this county magistrate who had tried him, Shen Du couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.

It's just that the county magistrate walked all the way over, and he didn't seem to glance at Shen Du at all, I don't know if he didn't notice it or didn't remember it at all.

Min Xian ordered his robe and then sat down, and several gang leaders and wealthy businessmen also sat down together.

"In a few moments it will be time. Min Xian Ling coughed lightly twice and looked at everyone, "The official discussed with a few people, and decided that when the negotiation was held later, he would not ask for a price increase, and just keep the price of 500 yuan for 100 catties of bluestone." ”

"After all, this price has been around for a long time, and the man must not change it at will. If the asking price is too high, it is not good to scare people away. The prefectural magistrate said slowly, "What do you think?"

When everyone listened, they couldn't help but talk about it, but it sounded like most of them had no objections. After all, it is a blessing to be able to find a buyer again, and it is really hard to think about it if you can keep the original price.

Shen Du frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he turned his head to Chen Pojun and said, "Didn't you say that the price might be raised, why don't you look like it?"

"It's not that I don't have the guts. Chen Pojun said in a low voice, his tone was a little unhappy, "Every county seat in Qingshi County is about to catch up with the county town. Now that people's hearts are not aligned, if the bluestone is more expensive, the county keeper is afraid that he will have some thoughts in his heart. ”

"It's okay for the county guard over there, after all, they are officials and the Min family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. After a pause, Chen Pojun continued, "The key is that the disputes on the rivers and lakes are not easy to handle, the Wulong Gang in the entire Fengzhou is dominant, and they have been coveting Qingshi for a long time. ”

The "Jinda gang leader" mentioned by Chen Pojun is the current gang leader of the Five Dragons Gang, and the rivers and lakes are nicknamed "Golden Dragon". The so-called five dragons are "golden, green, black, white and red" five dragons, all of whom are masters of martial arts, and the gang leader Jin Long is rumored to have reached the innate realm and has a great reputation.

In Qingshi County, except for Qiu Jilong, the leader of the Hong Gang, and Feng Yu, the leader of the Iron Fist Gang, no one has practiced to Dacheng. In comparison, the strength of the Five Dragons Gang is indeed much stronger.

"What if you were in charge?" Shen Du asked.

When Chen Pojun heard this, his face suddenly turned grim, and he said: "How can I be so sloppy, five hundred yuan is not enough, at least five hundred and twenty yuan." Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly raised the teacup in his hand to cover it.

Shen Du also smiled and shook his head.

After Chen Pojun finished laughing, he put down the teacup but sighed lightly, and said, "In this kind of world, it's better to be cautious." The county order didn't dare to raise the price, although he was unhappy, but he also understood it in his heart.

Shen Du pondered for a moment, but said, "Actually, I don't think it's necessary to be like this. ”

"Why?" asked Chen Pojun.

"In the current situation, many places have shown signs of their own governance, and the imperial court whip is beyond the reach of the whip, as long as there is a slight turmoil, the emperor will definitely reopen the state pastoral system. Shen Du picked up the teacup and said softly, "As soon as the state pastoral system is opened, the imperial court has accumulated shortcomings for a long time, and there is no virtuous ability to support it, the world will definitely be in chaos, no matter how cautious it is, what is the use, it is better to seize the opportunity." ”

Chen Pojun was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked left and right, seeing that everyone was still discussing, and no one was paying attention to them, so he said in a low voice: "Reopen the state pastoral system?"

Shen Du took a sip of tea and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Chen Pojun's face couldn't help but be a little uncertain, and he sat in the chair and was silent.

"My lord, the grass people have no objections. The crowd gradually talked less, when even someone stood up to make a stand to the Min County Order.

As soon as these words came out, people echoed them one after another.

"You said that if the other party increases the price by 50%, does the county magistrate want to refuse? Seeing this, Shen Du's heart suddenly moved, and he turned his head and said.

Chen Pojun said: "Fifty percent, how can you add so much." If there is really fifty percent, no one can refuse. ”

"Then if I can make the other party increase the price by fifty percent, will the county magistrate hate me or thank me?" Shen Du's eyes flashed slightly.

Chen Pojun was shocked when he heard this, and stared at Shen Du for a long time before saying, "What did you say?"

Shen Du smiled, and then said, "You don't have to thank me." With that, he got up from his seat and took a few steps forward.

As soon as he came out, everyone cast strange eyes.

Most of these strange eyes are not because they think that Shen Du's behavior is abrupt, but because they feel that this person has never seen it, and his eyes are very raw, and he looks like "who are you".

Min County Ling also noticed him, and couldn't help frowning slightly at the moment.

In front of everyone, Shen Du exhaled lightly, stood in front of the county commander, and arched his hand and said, "Lord county commander, the grass people have different opinions. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a silence at first, and then it exploded.

"Who is this kid, does he know the rules? People shouted.

"Extreme hubris!"

Qiu Jilong, who was sitting next to Min Xianling, saw this and recognized Shen Du as a member of the Hong Gang, so he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth and turned his head to look at Chen Pojun.

Chen Pojun felt the eyes of the helper, but he could only smile bitterly.

Min Xianling's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand, and everyone quieted down.

"Who are you?"

Shen Du's expression remained unchanged, and he responded: "Grass people Shen Du." ”

When Min Xian Ling heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "Shen Du, why did this official see that you are a little familiar?"
