Chapter two hundred and eighty-eight
After spending a night of fear, Manager Qian yawned and opened the door. As soon as the store door opened, he saw Xu's green skin standing in front of the door, frightened to death by the sleepy insects.
To the surprise of Manager Qian, the Qingpi was very polite and bowed and signaled: "Boss Qian, business is booming and wealth is abundant."
"Uncle, I have already given the money for this month," said Qian Shopkeeper with a bitter face.
Qingpi took out an invitation from her arms and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Qian is not collecting protection fees. Please give this invitation to Mr. Jiang, who lives in the hotel."
I have seen many sword sticks in Xu's house, and it is the first time I saw the invitation. The shopkeeper nodded and agreed. He couldn't help but open it on the way to send the invitation. The invitation was Xu Mingyuan's tone, "The flowers are in full bloom in the courtyard, and it is advisable to drink wine. I had wine and dishes at noon, so I respectfully invited Mr. Jiang to visit the house to enjoy the flowers and talk. Xu Mingyuan paused his head."
The shopkeeper was secretly shocked. What is this Jiang Master? Xu Laohu actually invited him to drink. No wonder the people from Xu's house came to the door yesterday. It turned out to be a Raptor. If I had known that he would not have used good wine and food to entertain them last night.

Shi Tou often went to Dong'er to watch operas in the capital, and suddenly a play came out next to him: "I'm afraid there is no good wine, and there is no good banquet."
Jiang Anyi smiled slightly, and he knew the tricks that Shi Tou could see. The man named Fu came to say goodbye. The calm last night was calm and he also consumed all the courage of the man. He just wanted to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Jiang Anyi was righteous and had martial arts. The two walked together to take care of him.
"It's good if Brother Fu is leaving, so as not to harm the fish." Jiang Anyi thought for a while and said, "I heard that the new county magistrate is about to take office. At that time, there may be changes in Fuluo County. Brother Fu might as well stay in the neighboring county for a few more days and listen to the wind. It's always not easy to go out."
After seeing off the bearded man, Jiang Anyi said to Shitou: "Shitou, bring my imperial edict and welcome Mr. Zhang. Calculate the day. Today, the brigade should be here. Let Zhang Zusheng calculate the time. It is best to enter the city at the end of noon and take people directly to Xu's house to pick me up."
Jiang Anyi once left from the Beimo Royal Court, so he naturally didn't care about the formation of Fuluo County, but he was careful to sail the ten thousand years of ship, and some subsequent preparations must also be considered. Outside the store, there was Qingpi from Xu's house guarding him. Seeing Jiang Anyi going out for breakfast, he followed him, not caring about where Shitou and others were going.
Just after noon, a group of men from Xu's house came to the door of Yuehe's inn. The leader was the Scar of the housekeeper. These men chose to be in their twenties or thirties, wearing black uniforms, and looked full of momentum. The shopkeeper ran to invite Jiang Anyi. When Jiang Anyi went out and saw it, he laughed in his heart. Xu Mingyuan wanted to use his power.
Everyone surrounded Jiang Anyi in the middle and headed towards Xu's house. Half a mile away from Xu's house, two rows of solemn men in black standing on the street, holding swords and rods in their hands, scaring the pedestrians who dared to step forward? Jiang Anyi frowned. Zheng was both important to both the military and the military, and did not control the swords, guns, bows and arrows, but it was still a taboo to take out nearly a hundred swords like Xu's house at once. Judging from Xu's house's blatant momentum, it was a false idea to think that the government was like a false situation.
Scar thought Jiang Anyi was afraid, so he said with a smile: "Master Jiang, to welcome you today, half of Xu's brothers came out to welcome you, and some brothers are still in the countryside and cannot come back. Please forgive me."
Listening to these humble words that were really showing off, Jiang Anyi felt funny. The commander's tent in and out of the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion often came in and out. A small Xu house could scare him. It was really a summer insect that could not speak of.
In front of Xu's house, Xu Mingyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Jiang Anyi who was gradually approaching. Jiang Anyi was wearing a silver-white Confucian shirt, with calm steps and normal expressions. Xu Mingyuan secretly admired him. How could ordinary people be so calm under the sword and gun? It seems that they met a good opponent today.
Jiang Anyi came to the mansion and saw a tall and mighty man in front of the door, with a head taller figure than himself, wearing a blue cloth shirt, casually rolled up sleeves revealing his bulging muscles, his eyes were sharp and his face was firm. From the outside, you can tell that he was a stormy man in the world.
The eyes meet and sparks are sparked, not admiration, but the beginning of the contest.
Xu Mingyuan took a step forward, bowed his hand and said, "Xu Mingyuan saw Lord Jiang."
Jiang Anyi deliberately said in surprise: "Oh, Xu Laohu actually knows Jiang's identity, and he is worthy of being a local snake in Fuluo County. Even though he knows his identity, he is also dancing swords and guns in front of this county, trying to intimidate this county, Xu Mingyuan, you are so brave."
Xu Mingyuan sneered: "Master Jiang has not taken over, and this place is not a county government. Xu just learned about Master Jiang's identity and intends to do his best to be a landlord first. Why should he suppress others with power? As for these swords and guns, they are just what the brothers said to show their grandeur. The wild man in the world does not understand the rules, so I hope that Master Jiang will forgive me. Master Jiang, please."
With a sideways, Jiang Anyi stepped into Xu's house with his head raised and his chest raised. Xu Mingyuan winked at Scar behind him. Scar understood and arranged for people to keep Xu's doors in and out.
There are martial arts venues everywhere in Xu's house, and weapons can be seen everywhere. Most of the houses are powerful men of Kong Wu. Jiang Anyi paid a little attention. In addition, the guests were welcomed outside the door, so the entire Xu house was no less than 200 people.
The banquet was set up in the garden pavilion, which reminded Jiang Anyi of the garden of Xuchang Hua's family in Renzhou. The same situation was the same, one winter and one summer, but the intentions were similar. However, Jiang Anyi was much smarter at this time than four years ago. Sitting in the pavilion, the maid served wine and dishes like a butterfly. Xu Mingyuan poured wine, and the wine smelled strong, and it was actually a stool made of his own knives.
Xu Mingyuan smiled and said, "Xu is a rough man. When he was young, he only knew how to fight and kill. Later, he learned to do business and gradually gained a family business. When it comes to doing business, Xu admires the adults and wants to join the adults as servants and learn some tips for doing business from him."
Jiang Anyi said: "In business, you should pay attention to being kind and making money. You and I will do whatever you want. As far as I know, the Xu family's business is forced to buy and sell, and it is very domineering."
"Mr. Jiang taught me the most lesson. Xu also knew that the method was inappropriate." Xu Mingyuan sighed: "Xu was born in a turbulent world and followed a large group of brothers. As the eldest brother, he always had to find a way to make a living for his brothers. Xu signed an agreement with the county magistrate Yan to take charge of the medicinal materials business in Fuluo County. The annual taxes paid account for two-thirds of the county's tax revenue. Xu's subordinates are of varying quality, and some things that may oppress the people may happen, but what Xu did is to collect taxes for the county and do things according to the law."
"A good person does things according to the law," Jiang Anyi laughed loudly and asked: "Jiang did not know how to force a business, close low and increase high. What law is it based on bullying and dominating the market? Is the Da Zheng Law? Or is it a law set by Fuluo County?"
Xu Mingyuan was not angry either. He raised his hands and patted them lightly. Two women floated out of the corridor. He came to the pavilion to bow down, and said in a whispering voice: "I've seen the uncle."
"Zhuzhu, Luoluo, please be careful to serve this Lord Jiang. Lord Jiang is not only the new county magistrate of our county, but also a romantic and talented man." Xu Mingyuan smiled. Zhuzhu, Luoluo stood up and looked at Jiang Anyi shyly and timidly, with joy in his eyes.
Xu Mingyuan introduced to Jiang Anyi: "Master Jiang, these two women are a team of courtiers from Jingyang Mansion. They are not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also good at soup. Xu spent 500 taels of gold to buy the two. The adults took office as the magistrate of Fuluo County and could not take care of their family, so they asked these two women to take care of their daily lives."
Zhuzhu, Luoluo, is a professionally trained person. He leaned on Jiang Anyi's side, one left and one right, and the faint fragrance penetrated into his nose, making people feel troubled. Zhuzhu raised his glass to Jiang Anyi's mouth, his body was weak and weak, and the greasy chest was pressing against Jiang Anyi's shoulder, and his red lips spitted lilac in his ears, and said softly: "Sir, Zhuzhu will be with him from now on, and I hope he will be pity for you." Luoluo on the other side picked up a chopstick dish, suddenly slapped his big eyes, and looked at Jiang Anyi pitifully.
Jiang Anyi felt a roar, and Xin Fei's appearance flashed in his mind. His thoughts faded a lot. His true energy secretly bulged out, pushed the two women apart, and said loudly: "Xu Mingyuan, if you intend to make a mistake, you might as well dismiss these subordinates, gather the ill-gotten wealth of these years, and surrender with me. According to the law, I will definitely give you a lighter retribution."
Xu Mingyuan's face became gloomy and said with a forced smile: "My joking is that Xu is willing to pay an extra 1,000 taels of taxes every year and pay 4,000 taels of horse fees to the county every year. I wonder what the adults want?"
"Hahaha, is Jiang a person who lacks money?"
This sentence was so passionate that Xu Mingyuan suddenly realized that yes, the Jiang family’s perfume business earned millions of dollars every year, so how could he be bought by his own little money? It seemed that things were hard to be good. Xu Mingyuan stood up and said to Zhuzhuluoluo, who had already lost his beauty, and said, "You go back first."
As the two women retreated, a large group of men holding guns and knives poured into the front and back yard gates, surrounding the pavilion. Xu Mingyuan looked at Jiang Anyi and said, "Mr. Jiang, if you want to make money, Xu really can't catch up with you, but the money you earn must be a life-saving flower. Lord. If you follow Xu's advice today and leave with the two women and silver, we will naturally live in harmony in the future. If there is a dispatch in the county, Xu will definitely be a good job. If you are blindly reasonable and unforgivable, you can't say that there is another pile of compost under the rose."
The men waved the knife and stick in their hands, and made a "hoho" intimidation sound from their mouths. Jiang Anyi didn't even move his butt at all, and sneered: "Can you be so soft that you can hard? Is this official injured? Can you leave?"
Xu Mingyuan sneered: "Master Jiang, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. In this acre of three-point land in Fuluo County, what is the loss of a few people? Not to mention that you have not entered the county government office, you have just been promoted to the hall. Xu wants you to die at the third anniversary, and you still cannot live for five days."
