Chapter 145 falls on the money
In the spacious carriage, Gao Jin and Fan Xiu'an sat cross-legged on both sides of Fan Xian'an. Although Fan Xian'an's face, who was sandwiched in the middle, was swollen, she still tried hard to make a smile, and carefully talked about the details of the transaction between him and Liu Zhiyuan.
"Master, the young man was also blinded by lard at that time. He believed the old pigs and dogs' nonsense, thinking that Liu Zhiyuan was trustworthy?"
Although the garrison is the same as the top rank, it can be divided into high and low according to the key points of the place. For example, the Shenmu Wei is the military center of the entire Shenmu East Road. Although the Fan family is rich and powerful, it is impossible to monopolize all the military supplies and food business of the Shenmu Wei, so they have to leave some for others.
In recent years, local garrisons were in ruins. Those who were in charge of money and grain like Liu Zhiyuan were naturally more and more courageous. Before Fan Xian'an, several small merchants had private transactions with Liu Zhiyuan. The grain sent to Shenmuwei was either mixed with sand or moldy. Seeing that those small merchants could make a fortune and were in peace, Fan Xian'an and others had the courage to do so.
"You stupid trash, how much oil can those small vendors have? The benefits of the ones named Liu scraping them out of you can be worth ten."
"What the master said is that the man surnamed Liu is too cunning, he has set me a trap."
When Fan Xian'an heard Fan Xiu'an's tone, he quickly responded, hoping to relieve his guilt. Although Fan Xiu'an said to spare him when he was in the cargo yard, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of the body of Manager Sun and the others hanging on the beam.
While speaking, the carriage that was moving forward stopped. Gao Jin, who had been silent on the side, opened the curtains and saw that at the gate of the inner city, a guarded soldier stepped forward.
"This military master, we are from Fanji Store. We went back to get things just now, so please give it a convenience."
On the seat of the car, Yang Dayan said with his eyes down, then handed over the silver that had been prepared long ago to the head of the officer who came forward to interrogate.
"Why didn't you just drive the car?"
After taking the silver that was half a tael of silver, the boss asked with a smile. Who doesn't know how Liu Qianshi's ability to snatch money? Even the shopkeeper of the Fanji Store had to rush back to get the money.
"Old Zhang just went back and peeeded urgently, and he slid down, so I just drove the car to the shopkeeper."
In the carriage, when he heard Yang Dayan answer calmly outside, Gao Jin patted Fan Xian'an with a pale face and signaled him to answer, dispel the doubts of the general outside.
"President Li, please make some convenience. I went back to raise money just now, but it took a long time to delay. If Lord Liu is anxious, it will be difficult to deal with."
Hearing the sound of words from the carriage, the Li Barman finally retreated aside and said loudly, "Open the door!"
"Then Shopkeeper Fan, hurry up. If Lord Liu is anxious, it's not a joke."
Although Liu Zhiyuan had no military power, he was in charge of the distribution of money and grain. All the soldiers under the camp had to curry favor with this assistant minister. The same was true for Li Zheng. After hearing Fan Xian'an's voice clearly, he let it go.
"Mr. Li, when you hand over the shift later, I hope to say hello to those behind you."
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Fan, I can reflect on myself."
As the inner city gate was opened, Yang Dayan immediately rushed over. After passing through the corridor of the city gate, he slowed down the horse. Then Fan Xian'an came out and exchanged positions with Wang Dou, who was sitting in the handlebar, pointed at Yang Dayan, who was rushing to the car.
Unlike the lifeless appearance of the outer city, after passing the inner city corridor and heading to Jixianglou, Yang Dayan saw several open brothels. The prosperity of Shenmu County was far beyond his expectations.
"There is Jixiang Tower ahead."
The carriage slowly stopped, Fan Xian'an pointed to the three-story restaurant at the corner in front and said to Yang Dayan beside him.
Wang Dou changed positions with Fan Xian'an again, and at this time Gao Jin and Fan Xiu'an also got off the carriage and walked on the side of the carriage. Gao Jin carried a knife around his waist, looking like a accompanying guard, while Fan Xiu'an seemed to be the follower of a wealthy man.
Not long after, Gao Jin and his party arrived at the entrance of Jixiang Tower. There was a waiter going out to greet him, but Gao Jin and the others were all innocent. The receptionist couldn't help but take a few more glances. However, before he could ask Gao Jin and the others' origin, Fan Xian'an said to the mate since the carriage came down, "Sir Liu, you are still waiting for me, take me there quickly."
Although he was surprised that Fan Xian'an had scars on his face and swollen, the guy still responded quickly and led the way, "Shopkeeper Fan, you are back. Lord Liu has ordered a lot of dishes just now, and all of them are recorded in your account."
"What are these?"
Looking at Gao Jin and the others who followed Fan Xian'an, the guy couldn't help asking, "In the past, this shopkeeper Fan would never bring his subordinates into the building."
"They are all my followers, where did you talk so much?"
Fan Xian'an glanced at the guy leading the way and said coldly, then went straight to the third floor. The guy who was asking about it dared not speak too much, and then he only led the way quietly.
When the door of the private room was pushed open, Fan Xian'an saw that the huge Eight Immortals table was filled with dishes. The dishes inside were all signature dishes in Jixianglou. Everything was not cheap. What made him even more frustrated was that these dishes were basically only a few chopsticks.
As soon as Fan Xian'an entered, the guy who led the way was pushed aside by Yang Dayan and guarded the door with Wang Dou. Yang Dayan even stuffed more than one cent of silver to the guy and said, "Okay, go down there, you have nothing to do here, and you don't have to serve any food next."
When he saw Fan Xian'an, Liu Zhiyuan had no good expression. He picked up a piece of croquette with wild game with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and cursed sarcastically, "Shopkeeper Fan has been there for a long time, I thought..."
But as Liu Zhiyuan was halfway through his words, he saw Fan Xiu'an flashing behind Fan Xian'an, and the lust on his face disappeared without a trace, and the happy expression on his fat face suddenly collapsed.
Fan Xiu'an walked to Liu Zhiyuan and sat down, while Gao Jin closed the door bolt of the private room and stood behind Fan Xiu'an with a knife.
"Shopkeeper Fan!"
Liu Zhiyuan didn't take Fan Xian'an seriously, but Fan Xiu'an, the big shopkeeper of the Suide Merchant, suddenly appeared and told him to curse himself. Who is Fan Xiu'an? The head of the Fan family in Suidezhou, is also the youngest among the seven shopkeepers of the Suide Merchant. He has heard of this person, he is cruel and vicious.
"What, Lord Liu, don't you welcome me!"
Looking at Liu Zhiyuan's ugly face, Fan Xiu'an smiled on his face, while Fan Xian'an stood by carefully, not daring to breathe.
"What do you think of Manager Fan? I can come, but I can't ask for anything. Come on, come on, don't let someone add food."
Liu Zhiyuan's fat face squeezed into a smile again, and then said to the butler behind him, but he was blocked before he could take a few steps.
"The food on this table is enough to eat."
Seeing Gao Jin blocking Liu Zhiyuan's housekeeper, Fan Xiu'an looked at Liu Zhiyuan and said slowly, "Do you think so, Lord Liu!"
"What the shopkeeper Fan said is, let's eat and drink slowly."
After looking at the young man in black behind Fan Xiu'an, Liu Zhiyuan called back the housekeeper. People like him were best at observing the words and expressions. The vague murderous intent that the young man in black just now could not be faked, which made him feel a little scared.
"Okay, let's have a meal and chat!"
Fan Xiu'an didn't mention Fan Xian'an's affairs at all, but just took the chopsticks and picked up the dish to eat casually.
The smile on Liu Zhiyuan's face froze. To be honest, he never thought that Fan Xiu'an would come so quickly and so suddenly. Judging from Fan Xian'an's virtue, he probably had already taken everything.
"Shopkeeper Fan, we might as well say something. It's boring to be stiff like this, right?"
Seeing Fan Xiu'an's appearance of concentrating on eating vegetables, Liu Zhiyuan endured it for a while and took the initiative to speak. Although he was the commander, he had no big backer behind him. If he really broke up with Fan Xiu'an, he would not have any benefits.
"Mr. Liu, the people below are ignorant and break the rules, I will accept punishment."
Fan Xiu'an finally put down his chopsticks and said to Liu Zhiyuan. At this time, Gao Jin suddenly stepped forward and kicked Fan Xian'an's foot. He was so painful that he fell to the ground. Then he had a knife out of his waist and placed it on his neck.
"old……"
"If you dare to say something more, I will let you fall to the ground immediately. Do you understand?"
Fan Xian'an didn't even make a shout, but Fan Xiu'an pinched his jaw until he nodded hard after he understood it and was released.
"Mr. Liu, mixing sand into the military rations is a serious crime. My Fan family has been innocent for generations and must not taint reputation in my hands. This guy is a fool, and he is not to be jealous of death."
Fan Xiu'an said to Liu Zhiyuan, and the coldness on his face made Liu Zhiyuan feel cold in his heart. To be honest, Fan Xian'an was sent to the door, but he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that he could get the handle of the Fan family and might be able to sell it at a good price in the future, and he did not intend to deal with Fan Xiu'an.
"Shopkeeper Fan, I just did it casually, but I didn't mean to deal with you?"
Although he was afraid of Fan Xiu'an, Liu Zhiyuan would not show weakness directly. As the saying goes, losing is not a loss. Liu Zhiyuan is a well-known figure in the Divine Mu Guard. How could he be forced to lower his head in a few words?
"Of course I know that Lord Liu didn't mean that, otherwise I wouldn't have come to pay a visit to Lord Liu."
While talking, Fan Xiu'an winked at Gao Jin, and then Gao Jin threw a large bag of silver that he brought when he came to the table.
"This is one thousand taels, I think the matter ends here. What do you think? Lord Liu!"
Fan Xiu'an is a businessman, and nothing can be solved with money. Liu Zhiyuan is greedy for money and can give money, but he must not speak loudly by the other party.
