Chapter 254 Senior Brother, Here's Your Chance to Marry Miss Cui
Chapter 254
"Sir, the bandit leader's surname is not Wang, but Ge, Ge Qian. It is said that he is a group of fierce bandits from the Bohai Sea."
"Due to a conflict with a salt officer, he led a group of brothers and sneaked into the salt officer's home in the middle of the night and killed his family."
"Then he kidnapped a group of salt merchants, intercepted and killed local wealthy households, and then was chased and fled westward..."
Before Cheng Yaojin returned to his private room, Du Fuwei and Fugongyou, who were assigned to inquire about the information, had already arrived to report the information they had found.
Ge Qian, a wandering bandit, finally arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain and settled down.
Frequently plundering passing merchants, the team grew bigger and bigger, from the first few dozen people to over a hundred people.
Changbai Mountain happens to be located at the junction of the four counties of Zhangqiu, Tingshan, Zichuan and Changshan.
When a certain county wants to encircle and suppress the enemy, the bandits will move and sneak to other counties, often resulting in a futile effort.
Due to his familiarity with the geographical location, strong people and strong horses, and his growing momentum, the governor of Qizhou naturally did not dare to continue to let it go.
So he appointed Cui Xin, the governor of the state, as a general and led a thousand state soldiers, with the intention of wiping out this group of bandits in one fell swoop.
Cheng Yaojin is back, but Miss Cui looks relatively tender-faced and has already left the restaurant and returned to her home.
Cheng Yaojin faced a group of smiling friends, picked up the wine glass and drained it in one gulp, and then let out a long breath.
"How is Lao Cheng? What's going on?" Niu Jinda filled Cheng Yaojin's glass again with genuine concern.
"What else could it be like? It's just that his father is a noble man and he looks down on me, Old Cheng, a rough guy."
Cheng Yaojin snorted with an ugly face, drained another glass of wine in one gulp, picked up a lamb rib and chewed it viciously.
He was eating it so fiercely, as if this lamb rib was Miss Cui's father.
Listening to Cheng Yaojin's complaints, Yang Qian gradually understood the root cause. To be honest, the old Cheng family was just a wealthy family in Dong'a County.
Compared with the Qinghe Cui family's social status, there is simply a world of difference.
And although Lao Cheng has a reputation as a chivalrous man in Shandong, the problem is that this kind of reputation is nothing in Cui Xin's eyes.
After all, he, Cui Xin, is a dignified Yizhou Biejia. He is a high-ranking official and his family background is very noble.
Agreeing to marry your daughter to the son of a rich country man is a bit of a daydream.
How can we get through to Cui Xin and get him to agree to marry his daughter to Cheng Yaojin, a scumbag?
Yang Qian himself was happy. As long as Mrs. Cui and her biological father were not deaf, blind, crazy or stupid, he would definitely look down on Lao Cheng.
The sharp-eyed Xu Shiji noticed Yang Qian's expression and couldn't help asking curiously.
"I'm talking to Yang Xiandi, everyone is worried about Lao Cheng. What are you secretly enjoying here alone?"
"..."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, especially his senior brother Cheng Yaojin's bulging eyes that were about to burst into flames, Yang Qian cleared his throat and continued to laugh.
"I laughed because I understood what Cui Xiaoniang's father was thinking.
With your current identity and status, senior brother, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to reach out to the daughter of his Cui Xin family."
Cheng Yaojin was not happy and threw away the gnawed bones. "I asked you whether you are my junior brother or not. Why are you talking with your elbows tilted outward?"
Yang Qian smiled casually, picked up the wine glass and took another sip.
"I am analyzing, just to see what kind of method can be used to make Cui Biejia change his mind.
If you find it pleasing to me, senior brother, I am willing to marry my daughter to you."
"Ha... Brother Yang Xian, your idea is good, but I think it's useless." Xu Shiji laughed.
Cheng Yaojin immediately became furious. He jumped up and began to pull up his clothes and roll up his sleeves, as if he was preparing to convince others with his strength.
"Get out! Say that again, believe it or not, I will throw you down."
At this moment, the door was knocked again. "The friend inside is Brother Cheng?"
"who?!"
"I, Meng Rang."
"Yo yo yo...it's actually Brother Meng?" Cheng Yaojin happily walked over and opened the door.
Yang Qian saw a rather tall, bearded man wearing a green robe standing at the door with a smile.
"Come on, come on in, I didn't expect that I, Old Cheng, would meet my old brother just after arriving in Qizhou, haha..."
Cheng Yaojin took this person into the private room and introduced him.
The Lord of Qizhou, Bo Mengrang, used to be a good man who traveled all over the world, but he was ordered by his parents two years ago.
He no longer continued to hang out in the world, and became an official in Qizhou, and is now the head of Liuzhou.
After some pleasantries with Yang Qian and others, Meng Rang sat down and said that he just happened to see Cheng Yaojin and his entourage downstairs, so he came up to look for someone.
"By the way, just this morning, I just received news that it happens to be related to your future father-in-law."
"Cui Biejia received news two days ago that Ge Qian and others were stationed in the southern area of Changbai Mountain, so he personally led his troops into the mountain..."
Unexpectedly, he was ambushed and received an arrow in his leg, forcing him to lead his troops back to the camp.
Unexpectedly, Ge Qian not only ambushed in the mountains, but also sent people to lurk around the camp outside the mountains.
The baggage in the camp was stolen by thieves and burned a lot. With no choice but to lead his troops, Cui Biejia could only lead his army back to Tingshan County to rest and recuperate.
"Early this morning, our prefect immediately scolded his mother. Today we have sent someone to reprimand him. If we give him another half month, if he can't wipe out those bandits, his career will be in trouble."

After all, Meng Rang still had official duties to attend to, so he made an appointment with Cheng Yaojin to drink some other day, chatted for a while, and then left.
"Brother, your opportunity has come." Yang Qian waited for Cheng Yaojin to see off Meng Rang and return to the private room, then he raised his glass to Cheng Yaojin with a smile.
"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Cheng Yaojin was a little confused, and he finally said after being stunned for a long time.
"You mean that I should quickly hire a famous doctor from Licheng to treat my father-in-law's arrow wound? In the meantime, comfort him and make him feel more favorable to me."
God is so fond of you, but you don’t want to date this Cui Biejia. Yang Qian glared at this senior brother whose muscle fiber had replaced his wisdom angrily.
"...I mean, since Cui Bie defeated Changbai Mountain and was reprimanded by his superior.
At this time, if you can find a way to wipe out that group of thieves and dedicate them to your father-in-law, would this be a big enough kindness?"
With a snap, Xu Shiji slapped his thigh and raised his thumb towards Yang Qian. "Yang Xiandi is still thinking fast."
"Lao Cheng, that's the truth. Your future father-in-law has suffered such a big loss and angered his immediate boss. If you can deal with that group of thieves, hehehe..."
Cheng Yaojin's eyes suddenly shone, and he felt happy stroking his hairy beard.
"This is really the truth..."
