"Sir Wandai, are you serious about this?" Butler Qin was not happy, but rather a little more vigilant.
The rich merchant's family has a lot of silver, but not a single tael is superfluous.
It is true that with a base of one hundred thousand taels of silver, a slightly wealthy county magistrate could spend seven or eight years embezzling money, but that is all their property, and it is not the same thing as Chu Qianqiu donating it casually.
Showing hospitality for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
Master Lingxiu was not a fool. She immediately realized that there might be something wrong with the visitor. However, when she thought of the children in the Salesian Home, she could no longer care so much and quickly smiled flatteringly:
"Whatever the Lord Wanda wants, a poor nun can do it, and he should do his best to satisfy it."
"Keep it to the satisfaction of Bandai-sama."
The master's eyebrows showed a bit of amorous feelings, which shows that she was also a person who saved a lot of belongings in Yihong Courtyard.
The girls in Yihongyuan are always young and beautiful, but few people care about what will happen to them when they grow old. Master Lingxiu had already made plans, donated most of her belongings, and entered a nunnery in Peacock City.
, that is, Lianhua Temple, prepared for this remaining life, but who expected to encounter famine in Fengzhou again.
Chu Qianqiu was not a lustful ghost, so he quickly shook his head and said with a smile:
"Master Lingxiu is too worried. Wan is definitely not such a person."
"This is just a small thought and has absolutely nothing to do with it."
As he spoke, Chu Qianqiu took out a bunch of banknotes from his luggage. They were all banknotes from the Daxia Shenlong Bank. Each banknote was one thousand taels, for a total of one hundred banknotes.
This is also one of Chu Qianqiu's habits. Not everyone needs elixirs, treasure weapons, and secret books.
For the middle and lower classes, a secret book is far less useful than a thousand taels of silver.
Because silver can be quickly converted into their most urgently needed supplies.
"Brother Qin, am I not dreaming?"
"This is the banknote of Shenlong Silver. One thousand taels of silver on the market can be used as one thousand two hundred taels."
Master Lingxiu took the banknote and said with some disbelief that Butler Qin also didn't believe that this Wandai businessman would be so generous.
The situation in Fengzhou tends to collapse, and a total of three different powerful people have emerged.
The lowest-ranking dignitaries are like landlords and officials on standby. They spend money to organize team training to resist the gangsters. There are often tragedies of their families being killed by the gangsters. Even if they escape the gangsters, they will inevitably be killed by Chu Zhongwu.
Cut it.
The middle-level dignitaries fled to Peacock City and received the blessing of the Buddhas of Vajra Temple. They brought a large amount of gold and silver, which further contributed to the abnormal prosperity of Peacock City.
Peacock City is full of cheap labor and gold and silver flowing in from other places, and the lives of the nobles are getting sweeter and sweeter.
The upper-class dignitaries were afraid of the liquidation from the imperial court, so they simply ran away and went to Daxia to avoid risks. If the worst happened, they would come back for a visit.
In this situation, the Shenlong Bank's banknotes became the easiest way to abscond with money and were very popular.
Chu Qianqiu gave him a hundred thousand taels of Shenlong silver banknotes, which could be exchanged for at least 120,000 taels of silver.
It's more than 20% more expensive.
"What exactly do you want?"
"Could it be that he came from Daxia?"
"Although the old man is the steward of the Governor's Mansion, he never interferes in his decision-making."
"If you want to do business with me, it's not right to come to me."
The biggest feature of Qin Steward's ability to grow from an orphan to the target of Governor Qin's efforts is that he has enough virtues.
At least in the past fifty or sixty years, he has never violated his principles and has been loyal to his master.
Although he did not agree with some of the master's practices, he never opposed it, nor did he use his position as a steward to seek personal gains that crossed the line.
So he is not very rich.
Otherwise, he could have made hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
He even frowned, wondering if the other party was Daxia's lackey, preparing to come to Fengzhou to infiltrate.
"Mr. Qin is a decent man, and Wan admires him very much."
"As for the one hundred thousand taels of silver, it's just to do something for the child."
"Wan still came too late."
"Master Lingxiu, Butler Qin, this is just the first payment."
"In a few days, more silver will come."
Chu Qianqiu chuckled and said nonchalantly.
In fact, these silver coins were not his money, but the wealth of Zhu County Magistrate and other officials. Chu Qianqiu killed them all, and the silver coins fell into his hands.
At that time, Magistrate Zhu was about to abscond with the money, but Xu Zishuang caught him, and the money became Chu Qianqiu's.
When Chu Qianqiu came, he brought it with him smoothly.
This may be the so-called taking from the people and using it for the people.
Not only that, this time Xu Zishuang cooperated with Xiao Changfeng to capture officials who had abandoned their offices from various places. Relying on the flying ability of the martial arts master, they caught every worm ready to escape.
Some of them were not serious, so Chu Qianqiu asked them to make meritorious deeds and go to provide disaster relief.
Some of them were serious in nature, so they were detained and their property was used to provide relief to the victims.
As long as Chu Zhongwu is here, no one can escape.
Now Chu Qianqiu's reputation among the middle and lower-level officials in Fengzhou can be described as the famous King of Hell of Chu.
If you are not afraid of meeting the Buddha, you are afraid of meeting the King of Hell.
The Buddha is especially forgiving, but the King of Hell cannot survive.
"Master Wan, please make it clear if you have any requests." Butler Qin's eyes kept twitching, not understanding what this man wanted.
"Butler Qin is also invited to come in for a detailed discussion." Chu Qianqiu said with a smile.
…
Salesian House, inner room.
Chu Qianqiu and Butler Qin were the only two people left in the room. Chu Qianqiu changed his appearance, which surprised Butler Qin.
"Lord Zhongwu!"
Butler Qin, as the steward of the Governor of Fengzhou, naturally has a portrait of Chu Qianqiu, and his whole body became cold. He couldn't be trying to do something bad for the master, right?
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I have no intention of harming Governor Qin, but I want to investigate a person."
"That's Duan Yu."
"This person has gone deep into Fengzhou and is preparing to murder Governor Qin."
"So I need your help."
After going through these cycles, Chu Qianqiu felt relatively reassured about the character of Butler Qin, so he said straight to the point.
This is also his advantage over Duan Yu.
Chu Qianqiu could directly use the prestige of the court and his own credibility to endorse it and ask Butler Qin to assist him.
"Sir, are you serious about what you say?" Manager Qin said hesitantly. Although Chu Qianqiu produced the certificate of the imperial envoy, it was probably a fake.
"It's natural."
"I will plant a spiritual mark of protection in Butler Qin's consciousness."
"After this is completed, the orphans and children in Fengzhou will be able to get enough food."
"Leave this meritorious deed to Butler Qin."
"If there is even half a lie, God will hate it."
Chu Qianqiu took the vow of martial arts very calmly, which made Butler Qin feel relieved.
I really want to be disadvantageous to the Governor, so why bother placing such a big bargaining chip?
As for who Duan Yu is, Butler Qin doesn't know him at all.
"The old man is willing to obey Lord Zhongwu's orders."
"very good!"
…
Outside Peacock City, Fengyu Tower
"Xiaosheng Duan Yu, I met Butler Qin." A handsome young man met Butler Qin for an appointment with a smile on his face.
"The old man has met Mr. Duan. I wonder what the official wants to do to invite the old man?"
"A young man travels all over the world, and he respects heroes the most. Hearing that Butler Qin is eager for justice, he took the liberty to invite him. I also asked Butler Qin not to be offended."
"Guan Duan is so polite."
"I wonder why the official came to see the old man?"
"If I don't make it clear, the old man really won't dare to go to the banquet."
Butler Qin looked surprised. He didn't do any publicity. Why are people coming to him one after another recently?
"Steward Qin is indeed the right-hand man of the Governor."
"I'm not afraid to tell Butler Qin that the Governor is Xiaosheng's best friend."
"I came here this time because I was entrusted by the governor." Duan Yu said with a smile.
"Really?"
"Did the master order the officials to come?"
"Please see the token!" Duan Yu took out a treasure that only Butler Qin and the Governor knew about.
"Ah, this!"
Butler Qin was shocked, so what should he do if he agreed to Lord Zhongwu?
Chu Qianqiu secretly screamed, Duan Yu's face suddenly changed.
