Chapter 29
Ancheng County, Dongxia Restaurant. This restaurant was originally a restaurant owned by Qian Yuanwai, Qiu Leng. After Qiu Leng died, Xu Chuan also confiscated the property of Qiu Leng's family.Of course there is this restaurant.Xu Chuan passed it to Aunt Su's name.

The properties under Qian Yuanwai's name were forcibly occupied by others, and Xu Chuan naturally returned them one by one, while the former worked hard and no one claimed it, so he laughed.

At this moment, the restaurant was very lively. The squires and scholars in the county town gathered together to welcome Mr. Jiang together with the county magistrate.

Xu Chuan and Jiang Youde were sitting at the main table next to each other, with Luo Xingtang and Li Ming accompanied by Xu Chuan, and Jiang Wangsun, a middle-aged man, and Jiang Baobao, a pretty girl, beside Jiang Youde.

"Xian County magistrate, this old man has heard of Master Xu's reputation in Dingjiang Mansion City. I heard that the big thieves like Qiu Leng were caught in the hands of Xu County magistrate. Sure enough, he is young and promising." Jiang Youde smiled. of joy.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "This officer just did his duty."

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

These 20 favorability points were earned by him just waiting at the city gate for a long time.This Jiang Youde is really not as bad as the legendary character.Of course, no one in officialdom wears a mask.

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

"Option 50, draw a clear line with a high profile, luck -[-]."

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

"What a duty, what the magistrate Xu said is very true. We are officials, and our duty should be to govern one side, to eliminate violence and educate the people. At a young age, magistrate Xu already knows the way of being an official. A thorough, really young and promising." Jiang Youde said with a smile.

"I admire, Master Xu, I'll give you a toast." The middle-aged man Jiang Wangsun immediately got up to toast.

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

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

Jiang Wangsun has a negative favorability score of 10, and Jiang Baobao has a favorability score of 38.These two, one is Jiang Youde's godson, and the other is goddaughter.

The Jiang family has been in Dingjiang mansion for a hundred years, but it has never been so strong before. When he was young, Jiang Youde liked to deal with some rogues in Dingjiang mansion, because he had learned the martial arts handed down from his family and practiced his qi based on the background of the Jiang family. , he fought bravely and fiercely with others, but he didn't want to kick the hard stubble once, provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, and let his sons, grandsons, and roots hurt, so that he was over seventy years old and still had no children.

As the brothers became the prefect of Dingjiang Prefecture, the Jiang family's position in Dingjiang Prefecture has become increasingly stable. Jiang Youde also relied on the relationship between the prefect brothers to get an official position, and he was short of children and incense, but what if he couldn't give birth to this thing?I can't stand being told that he has done a lot of evil things, that he is immoral and that he has no children, so he started to recognize his sons and daughters. I heard that Jiang Youde has as many as eight or nine sons and daughters. ...that's more.

But this Jiang Wangsun didn't seem to have a favorable impression of him.

"Brother Wang? But brother Wang Jinghe?"

Just as they were drinking happily at one table, a middle-aged squire who was sitting at another table suddenly came over and looked at Jiangwang Sundao in surprise.

Hearing this call, Jiang Wangsun seemed to be stunned. He looked up, and the middle-aged squire suddenly had a happy expression, and quickly said with a smile:
"Sure enough, it's you, Brother Wang. I just saw you looked like you, but I didn't dare to recognize it. You've changed a lot. You're thinner than when we entered the Fucheng for the test."

"Yu Juren, do you know each other?" Xu Chuan asked in surprise.

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

Listening to his description, Jiang Wangsun quickly glanced at Jiang Youde and the people who were looking at him, and then his expression became whole, and he said, "Brother Yu, I haven't seen you for many years, and the vicissitudes have changed. It is no longer Wang Jinghe, but Jiang Wangsun."

Yu Juren was stunned, Jiang Wangsun, this name... Then he suddenly understood, he quickly apologized, and after toasting Jiang Youde and Xu Chuan, he said softly to Jiang Wangsun, "Brother Jiang, you must come to me after the banquet. Get together in the house, you and I will catch up."

Jiang Wangcai nodded coldly.

There was a lot of chatter around, and it seemed that they were all saying that he changed his name and surname, and recognized others as his father. Whenever he changed his name and surname, it was shameful to not recognize his ancestors.

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

Jiang Wangcai raised his head in surprise.

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

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

Xu Chuan held a wine glass and watched Jiang Wangsun's favorability drop to minus [-] in front of him.

He could only laugh and drank the wine in the glass.

Jiang Wang and Sun Mingming's heart was full of anger, and it was difficult for him to maintain a smiling face like this.

Jiang Baobao also got up and poured wine for Xu Chuan enthusiastically. Jiang Wangsun saw it and smiled even more.

Jiang Youde and Xu Chuan chatted 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 relies on nepotism.

As the two talked, Jiang Youde's favorability toward Xu Chuan increased a little.

"I'm old, Xu county magistrate is young and promising, and there is still a chance for cultivation. If one day I can cultivate successfully, it will be amazing." He talked about his cultivation.

How could the prefect of Dingjiang become a prefect? ​​It was because he had contributed to the court, and his cultivation had reached innate, and he had a strong ability to govern, so he sat on the seat of the prefect.

The high-ranking officials in the court, the more important the official positions, are those who are well-cultivated, and that is the important minister of the court.After all, the layers involved are different.

"This official is still on the way to work hard." Xu Chuan said with a smile.

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

Jiang Wangsun poured wine for Xu Chuan again and again, but the look in his eyes became more and more gloomy.This is not a disgust for Xu Chuan, but his own depression. In terms of qi refining, he really has no talent, so why are others so good.

The guests and hosts enjoyed this welcome banquet.

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

In the hall of the mansion, Xu Chuan stepped back and looked at the servant in front of him. He hadn't paid attention to this servant before, but now when he faced each other, he found this unremarkable servant... When the latter didn't speak, it was as silent as a shadow. But when he opened his mouth to speak, his whole body suddenly exuded an unparalleled fierce aura, and in this aura, there was also a suffocating aura.

Congenital master!

"Master, this person is really cold and strange, and he should be good at assassination tactics such as sneak attacks. His murderous aura is so strong that many people will die at his hands, but since he is willing to sacrifice his life for the Jiang family, he will not be too strong in frontal combat. ." Snow Mountain Swordsman sniffed and analyzed with his nose, and finally demeaned the other party.

This old servant is a cultivator of the late Xiantian period.

Innate masters also need to live, need money, need power, and even if they want to go further, they need 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 serve Jiang Youde.

Xu Chuan secretly said in his heart that the Jiang family in the prefectural government was really extraordinary, but they were not afraid at all.If he really wants to do it, he has [-]% confidence to kill the old servant in front of him in an instant.

The old servant deliberately showed his momentum. Seeing Xu Chuan's face unchanged, he secretly said that although the county magistrate was young, his temperament was indeed extraordinary, and he said straight to the point:

"Master Xu, I'm here to ask Master Xu, is this inspection review good or bad? I want the prefect to take more care of Ancheng County or rectify it more."

Xu Chuan smiled as expected: "How do you say it."

"As the saying goes, money can make a ghost run the mill. As long as the adults are willing, I will tell the adults of my family, and naturally there is no need to worry about Xu County Magistrate." He laughed.

"Oh... your words are so useful?"

The servant smiled and said, "Naturally. I just don't know if the magistrate Xu is going to help me with this little favor."

His voice fell.

In Xu Chuan's mind, a judgment option appeared: "

One, strictly refuse.Air -30.

Two, let him help.Silver taels -50000 taels, luck +20. "

"Three, ask him for help, and ask him to say a few more good words in front of Jiang Youde. Silver taels -100000 taels, luck +50. Jiang Youde's favorability rating +50."

Xu Chuan was speechless, didn't this force him to pay bribes?Take money to buy luck?Is this what a righteous person does?
But when he turned to think about it, Xu Chuan came to understand that many corrupt officials were reviled because they looted the people's fat and money, donated miscellaneous taxes, and wantonly amassed wealth. Pray for shelter.

As for Xu Chuan, his money is different from those corrupt officials who only know how to bully the people and loot the people. His money comes from Qiu Jian School, Qiu Leng, these thieves, some gold and silver jewelry, and antique collections that are worth hundreds of dollars. Ten thousand.

money?He's really not lacking.

In fact, money is not important to some practitioners, such as Ning Hongliang, a young man from a prominent family background, who pays more attention to practice, treasures, self-improvement, and court credit.

But there are some who have no hope of cultivation and just want to save some savings for future generations, such as this old servant, Jiang Youde, who is crazy to make money.

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 for a moment before asking:
"How much is it?"

"Although the old servant's vision is not high, he is not a beggar. If he is too little, he will not like it." He looked at Xu Chuan, and said with a smile: "For 5 taels, the old servant will complete this matter for Xu county magistrate."

"I'll give you 10 taels, but not only must you be excellent, but also the magistrate must take care of the people of Ancheng County in the future." Xu Chuan directly took out a stack of banknotes from his arms.

10 million taels?
The old servant was startled.

Many county magistrates are willing to give up 5 taels, which is not a lot. This county magistrate Xu actually gave out 10 taels?
"Good to say."

The old servant hurriedly stretched out his hand to get it, but before his palm touched the silver note, he felt that the stack of silver notes had reached his throat.

"So fast..." After all, the old servant was a congenital expert, and he was suddenly shocked. If this was a dagger, he would be in a different place now.

"It's troublesome brother." Xu Chuan said with a smile, and stuffed the silver note into the servant's arms.

"Haha, don't worry, Master Xu, the old servant will definitely bring the words of Master Xu." The old servant smiled, but the laughter was much more solemn. Although this Xu county magistrate is not a congenital, his strength is probably not lower than himself. , He originally wanted to speak louder than the lion, but now he dared not.

Right now, he stepped out.

……

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

"5 taels, this magistrate of Xu County is really up to the mark. Not bad, it's worth cultivating." Jiang Youde smiled.

"Yes, this county magistrate Xu is a good official. Your Excellency should speak more kindly to the prefect when you go back." The old servant also said.He took 5 taels, of course he wanted to speak to Xu Chuan.

The eyes of Jiang Wangcai and Jiang Baobao, who were next to them, glowed.

For a long time, Jiang Baobao stayed to serve, while Jiang Wangsun retired.

"This county magistrate Xu is really rich. I have to find a way to knock on two bamboo poles. I am good at pulling tiger skins." Jiang Wangsun was itchy in his heart. ?

Just as he was planning,
"Young Master Jiang, there is a man named Yu outside who is asking to meet you, claiming to be your friend." A servant came to report.

"Again?" Jiang Wangsun's expression suddenly turned cold.This Yu Juren, he has already lost face, come back?
Immediately rushed out.When he saw Yu Juren, he was about to get angry when he suddenly saw a beautiful woman next to Yu Juren. When he saw the appearance of the woman, the anger in his heart disappeared.

"Brother Yu." Jiang Wangsun said.

"Brother Jiang." Yu Juren looked over and said quickly, "Madam, this is the brother I often say, if I hadn't supported me back then, I would have starved to death, and I wouldn't have been able to win Juren. Brother Jiang, our husband and wife are prepared For snacks, please invite Brother Jiang over to the residence for a chat."

"I've seen Big Brother Jiang." The beautiful lady saluted respectfully. He had been instructed by his husband that he could not call Wang's surname, but Jiang's surname.

"No ceremony, no ceremony, I forgot what happened back then." Jiang Wangsun grinned, but his eyes stayed on the beautiful lady.
