Chapter 33 Please give me some face!

Hearing the sound, Liu Yize turned around to look and saw that it was Xu Yanran, and quickly stood up to greet her.

After Xu Yanran sat on the blanket, some people from other places who had planned to come over to make themselves familiar stopped. Although the Xu family had always been excluded, that was compared to the four major families.

For ordinary rich people like them, the Xu family is still unattainable.

Especially recently, the head of the Xu family has gradually retired, and most of the Xu family's business has been slowly handed over to Xu Yanran.

"Young Master Qin and Young Master Liu, do you have any history with the county captain?" Xu Yanran asked with a smile.

Lieutenant Longxian was famous for his resolute and domineering behavior, especially towards the local gentry of the Black Mountain City family. Few people were willing to work with him.

But due to its power, he had to submit.

If she can use this banquet to build a good relationship with him, what if the local family is xenophobic?

The Xu family's vision is not limited to a small Black Mountain City. In the future, she must go back and compete with those people again.

"Haha, to be honest, the bloody golden gun in this courtyard was forged by a certain family. Brother Qin Jiang, I am even more favored by the county captain. He said that he can report to the county captain when he enters the inner city. name!"

Liu Yize stroked his chin gently with a somewhat arrogant smile.

Just after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the words he just said, but he couldn't notice it for a while.

Xu Yanran was slightly surprised when she heard this, "It turns out that this Blood Flame Golden Spear was forged by Young Master Liu. His forging skills are worthy of being the best in Black Mountain City."

"No prizes, no prizes, it's just some family skills." Liu Yize said with a smile.

Xu Yanran turned to look at Qin Jiang again, "Master Qin can win the favor of the county captain. If you have leisure, you can come to the west of the city often."

But I don't know what is so special about Mr. Qin that he can win the favor of the county captain.

The three of them talked for a while, and Xu Yanran basically understood that Qin Jiang was just a commoner. She couldn't help but become a little curious about him, and invited him to enjoy the lanterns on the fifteenth day of next month.

Before Qin Jiang could refuse, Liu Yize agreed on his behalf.

After Xu Yanran left, Liu Yize couldn't help but marveled and looked Qin Jiang up and down.

He suddenly understood that he had never mentioned Qin Jiang's name in front of Xu Yanran, but when the other party came, he called him Mr. Qin.

It must have been investigated secretly!

He is indeed the largest grain merchant in Black Mountain City, and his eyes and ears may have spread all over Black Mountain City! It only took a few hours to complete the investigation!

You actually pretended not to know how to talk before? She is really a merchant's daughter, and she is very thoughtful!

"Miss Xu is so secretive!" he said with emotion.

Qin Jiang looked at him inexplicably when he heard this, what are you talking about?

Dang~!

The gong sounded, and Long Yuesheng and the heads of the four families came out.

Long Yuesheng was smiling, but the faces of the four family heads were not so pretty.

He walked to the Blood Flame Golden Spear in the center of the yard, directly picked up the golden gun and inserted it into the ground. He said loudly: "This magical weapon is called the Blood Flame Golden Spear. It has the power to destroy evil. It was specially commissioned by the county lieutenant to deal with the strange Liu. Made by his family!

I think you all know that something strange has been happening in the city recently. Although the county lieutenant tried his best, it was impossible to eliminate the increasing strangeness with this gun alone.

Therefore, the county captain would like to ask you to give me some face! Please support this county captain! "

The sound vibrated and everyone could hear it clearly.

Liu Yize suddenly realized what he said, and whispered: "No wonder the Song family didn't come. Mr. Long is planning to blackmail you for some military expenses."

Tap tap tap.

There was a sound of soft footsteps, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper walked in from outside the courtyard, followed by two servants, carrying a huge box hanging on a wooden stick.

"I have met Mr. County Captain. I am the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion. The head of the family asked me to come here to express that our Lin family is willing to fully support Mr. County Captain. We will donate ten thousand taels of silver to help Mr. County Captain quell the weirdness!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the courtyard was in an uproar.

Unexpectedly, the Lin family, the most low-key among the four major families, would be so high-profile this time.

Qin Jiang couldn't help but look sideways. Ten thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. If converted, it was equivalent to thirty million in the previous life.

"Haha! Thank you, Master Lin, on behalf of this county captain!" Long Yuesheng laughed.

In fact, this was what he had negotiated with the head of the Lin family, and five thousand taels of it were his own.

He looked at Zhao Yunsheng, and then glanced at the three heads of the Li family, the Lu family, and the Liu family.

Zhao Yunsheng's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, then he slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My Zhao family is willing to contribute four thousand taels! To help you succeed!"

Li Songzheng also clasped his fists when he saw this, "My Li family is also willing to pay four thousand taels!"

"My Lu family cannot compare with the four major families, but I am willing to pay three thousand taels!"

"My Liu family is willing to pay three thousand taels."

After the four families paid out the money, Long Yuesheng curled his lips in disdain.

I'm a fight between life and death. If something unexpected happens, weird things happen frequently. In the end, aren't you yourselves the unlucky ones?

Still need to clean up! We have to find a chance for them to bleed properly!

A family worth less than 8,000 taels!

Looking into the yard, he scanned everyone. Today he invited some wealthy landlords, including some gentry from the countryside.

Seeing this, everyone was hesitating. It wasn't that they were hesitating whether to give, but that they had to give. It was just a matter of how much they gave.

If the county captain is not happy if he is given less, and if he is given too much, isn't he trying to force others to give more?

Everyone who can come here is a good person, and no one wants to offend anyone.

Just when everyone was hesitating, a person suddenly stood up near the center, his skirt swaying, and he was actually a bit sassy.

"Lord County Captain, the Lin family is willing to help, and so is our Xu family! We are willing to contribute eight thousand taels of silver! We also have a thousand catties of pig iron and five carts of medicinal materials!"

Hiss~

As soon as the words fell, everyone present was shocked. They almost all recognized this daughter of the Xu family, and she was the future heir identified by the old man of the Xu family.

But I never thought that this woman could be so courageous!

Long Yuesheng was also surprised when he heard this, and then laughed, "Hahaha! Okay! You are Xu Yanran, right? I have heard your name a long time ago! This county captain will remember you! If you have any trouble, come to me!" Hahaha!"

Xu Yanran was relieved when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

After a breath, Long Yuesheng suppressed his smile and looked at everyone in the courtyard with scrutiny.

When everyone saw this, they no longer waited for anything, and expressed their willingness to donate silver.

However, most of them are three to five hundred taels, and those with a thousand taels are a minority.

After a while, almost everyone had already expressed their opinions. Long Yuesheng waved his hand and said, "This county captain is a rough man. Please eat and drink well!"

In the corner, Liu Yize smiled with admiration, approached Qin Jiang and said in a low voice: "Master Long's skills are really powerful. He just moved his mouth and got 50,000 taels of silver!"

This is fifty thousand taels! Enough to buy a dozen blacksmith shops!

I have to say, these landlords are really rich!

Qin Jiang couldn't help but sigh. It was really the end of the dynasty. Money was not in the hands of the people, so of course there would be chaos.

Right now, there is an external threat like the Sophora State. Otherwise, uprisings would have continued in various places.

Maybe it already exists now, but it has just been suppressed.

After the banquet started, Qin Jiang remembered the weird things Liu Yize had just said, and immediately asked: "Brother Liu, are there many weird things that I just mentioned in the city?"

Hearing this, Liu Yize glanced at Qin Jiang and touched his forehead, "It's not that much. I actually heard from the craftsmen at home. They often get together to drink, so this kind of information is relatively well-informed."

"That's it." Qin Jiang nodded slightly.

It seems that the danger of strangeness is indeed becoming more and more serious. In the past, even the appearance of a spirit in Daheishan was a rare thing.

But now, strange things like this have been spread in the market.

It's no wonder that Lieutenant Long County is so eager for money. Perhaps the power he has at this time is somewhat beyond his capabilities.

"Come, come, it's rare to have such good wine. Let's drink this cup with my brother!"
