In a secret restaurant in the capital, Bai Zhanyun, the descendant of the White Tiger Marquis, and Hong Tiantong, the descendant of the Suzaku Marquis, were secretly discussing something.
"Brother Bai, that kid is very arrogant. He doesn't take you and me seriously at all. Especially your brother Bai, you and he arrived at almost the same time, and he actually snatched the Dragon Bone Zhiyang Grass from your hand. It's terrible.
Which one is intolerable?"
Hong Tiantong is obviously more cunning, and his words are obviously provocative.
"Hmph! Jiang Chen, if you offend me, Bai Zhanyun, you are seeking death!"
As Bai Zhanyun was talking, a follower hurriedly came to report.
"Little Marquis, that boy didn't go back to Jiang Hanhou's mansion. It seems he went to Songshi Pavilion."
"Songshi Pavilion? What is this kid doing there? Does he still want to buy spiritual stones?" Hong Tiantong was a little confused.
When Bai Zhanyun heard this, he smiled strangely: "Songshi Pavilion? Are you sure you read it correctly?"
"My subordinates have been following him, and they will not be mistaken."
Bai Zhanyun smiled happily: "Jiang Chen, you are humiliating yourself. The boss of Songshi Pavilion is my cousin!"
At this point, Bai Zhanyun became even more proud: "Brother Hong, let's go and watch the excitement together. We'll humiliate this kid. And by the way, take the Dragon Bone Zhiyang Grass!"
This place is not far from the Songshi Pavilion. The two of them quickly arrived at the Songshi Pavilion and entered through the back door.
…
Songshiguan is a shop specializing in spiritual stones and exotic stones. It is very large and is the number one store in the capital.
Jiang Chen came here, naturally, not to admire the rocks, but to customize the stones.
After wandering around the Pine Stone Hall for a long time, combined with various experiences of stone appreciation in my previous life, I locked in on a stone material. The price has already been negotiated.
While waiting to pay, suddenly the owner of Songshi Pavilion hurried out and said with a smile: "Brother, what a coincidence. I just learned that the Woyang Stone you ordered was already ordered yesterday.
"
"Who decided? Such a coincidence?" Jiang Chen was stunned, there is such a coincidence?
"Of course it's me, young master!" A harsh voice came from behind, and Bai Zhanyun walked out from behind in a swaggering manner.
"Jiang Chen, what a coincidence. I have decided on this Wo Yang Stone. Do you want it? Hand over the Dragon Bone Zhi Yang Grass. Once I am in a good mood, I may consider transferring it to you."
Jiang Chen is a sensible person. When he saw Bai Zhanyun, he looked at Hong Tiantong who was smiling but not smiling behind Bai Zhanyun, and then he looked at the owner of Songshi Pavilion, he understood instantly.
It seems that Bai Zhanyun is really idle. From the Medicine Master's Hall to the Songshi Pavilion, he actually had sex with him.
However, the owner of the Songshi Pavilion was actually threatened by a prince's son, which really caused his value to drop drastically, making Jiang Chen look down on him all of a sudden.
"Interesting, interesting. Boss Song, are you sure you won't sell this stone to me?" Jiang Chen asked calmly.
Bai Zhanyun shouted: "Jiang Chen, I have already said that if you hand over the Dragon Bone Zhiyang Grass, Master Shitou will no longer argue with you. Otherwise, don't even think about this lying Yang Stone."
"Oh? What if I have to do it?" Jiang Chen smiled lightly.
"Hahaha, do you think this young master will give it to you? Even if I buy this lying stone back to lay in the manhole, I will never give it to you."
"Your toilet is really respectable. So there's no need to talk?"
"What nonsense! Either hand over the Dragon Bone Sun Grass or get out!" Bai Zhanyun probably also knew that asking Jiang Chen to hand over the Dragon Bone Sun Grass would be unrealistic.
Jiang Chen laughed and didn't care at all. He was too lazy to waste time with idiots like Bai Zhanyun. It wasn't like he was buying things by himself.
This is to buy equipment for the royal princess, and he, Jiang Chen, will not waste any time. Since Bai Zhanyun, a fool, wants to arm-wrestle with the royal family, let him give it a try.
"Boss Song, it seems that you are a smart person, but what you do is stupid." Jiang Chen smiled softly, shook his head and sighed, "If you don't sell it to me now, I'm afraid you will cry when you sell it to me, but you won't be able to do it."
late."
After speaking, Jiang Chen didn't even look at Bai Zhanyun and Hong Tiantong, and Shi Shiran walked out.
As soon as they walked into the lobby, a waiter suddenly came over in a hurry, with a frightened look on his face. He whispered a few words into Boss Song's ear, his face full of fear. He didn't even dare to make eye contact with Jiang Chen.
After Boss Song heard this, his face immediately turned pale. It was as if all the blood in his body had been suddenly drained. His face was pale and his mouth was full of bitterness.
Almost crying, he shouted: "Jiang Xiaohou, please stay, please stay! This Woyang Stone is yours. Our Songshi Hall doesn't want your money, and will deliver it to your house immediately."
Boss Song's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, which surprised Bai Zhanyun and Hong Tiantong.
Especially Bai Zhanyun, his feet jumped.
"Cousin, did you make a mistake? Didn't we all agree?"
Boss Song said with a mournful face: "Little ancestor, please don't embarrass your cousin. When you gods are fighting, don't let us mortals get caught in the middle."
Bai Zhanyun was angry: "Immortal? Bah, he Jiang Chen is a fart immortal? There are 108 princes in the Eastern Kingdom, and he Jiang Hanhou is not even ranked among them! Cousin, are you afraid of him?"
If it weren't for Bai Zhanyun's father-in-law, Boss Song would definitely rush up and beat him up, first beating him until he couldn't take care of himself, and then spitting on him a few times.
This kid is a complete deceiver. He is trying to trick Mr. Song to death!
Boss Song almost rushed forward and hugged Jiang Chen's thigh: "Little Marquis, I, Mr. Song, am blind, please, please accept it! This Lying Yang Stone is a tribute to you from Old Song."
As the saying goes, you have to be merciful and merciful. Jiang Chen didn't intend to care too much about a small boss.
He smiled and said: "Boss Song, when you say this, it seems that I am a **** person. Since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly take this stone! Of course, someone will pay the price.
.You just need to give me the address and send it there early in the morning the day after tomorrow. I will notify you then."
"Yes, the young Marquis is so generous. Old Song is ashamed, ashamed."
Jiang Chen laughed, how could he not know. This sudden change in Lao Song's attitude must be caused by someone outside.
As for who exerts the force, that is even more clear.
In this royal capital, how many forces are there that can make the great princes not dare to make mistakes? And who else will be protecting Jiang Chen now, besides people from the royal family?
"It seems that Dongfang Lu, the old man, has indeed prepared something. Are you afraid that I will regret it?" Jiang Chen shook his head inwardly and went out with a smile.
He has already prepared everything that should be prepared initially.
Bai Zhanyun was repeatedly ignored by Jiang Chen, and he felt frustrated that he had no power to use. He said to Boss Song fiercely: "Cousin, you must give me an explanation for this matter!"
Boss Song rolled his eyes and said, "Bai Zhanyun, you should take care of yourself! This is the royal capital, not your white tiger territory! If you want to act wild, you must first think about whether there are some people you can afford to offend. I am your cousin uncle.
, I kindly remind you, be careful if you make a wrong step, don’t destroy the hard work of several generations of your Bai family!"
Boss Song is not an alarmist at all. The waiter came in just now and only said a few words.
One sentence is "The commander of the Tiandu Army is outside", and the second sentence is "You must sell the Woyang Stone to Jiang Chen, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
These two sentences were enough to make Boss Song change his attitude.
Who doesn't know that the Tiandu Army is the bodyguard of the current monarch, the most powerful team in the kingdom, and controls the power of life and death in the Eastern Kingdom.
It is no exaggeration to say that if you offend the Tiandu Army, let alone Boss Song, even the White Tiger Marquis will be shattered to pieces!
And the commander of the Tiandu Army is one of the most powerful giants in the capital. Such a big shot actually secretly escorted Jiang Chen. What does this mean?
Boss Song is not a fool, how can he not understand the importance of this?
Faced with Bai Zhanyun's complaints, Boss Song couldn't explain himself, but this warning could be regarded as fulfilling the duties of a relative.
If Bai Zhanyun had to throw a moth into the fire, then Boss Song would have no choice but to cut ties with the Bai family as soon as possible.
Bai Zhanyun was still cursing and scolding Boss Song for being unkind. Hong Tiantong, on the other hand, was thoughtful. He thought this was too strange. This happened once, twice!
"Could it be that this Jiang Chen is really dating some big shot?"
…
But Jiang Chen said that after finishing the work, he didn't hang around outside and went straight back to Jiang Hanhou's mansion.
Just after entering the gate and walking a few steps, he saw two people walking out of the inner hall. One of them was his cheap father Jiang Hanhou Jiang Feng.
The other one was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. This man walked straight out with a cold expression, while Jiang Hanhou accompanied him with a somewhat apologetic smile and whispered something.
That way, even a bit groveling.
But no matter how enthusiastic Jiang Feng was, it was like a hot face against a cold butt. The middle-aged man's face was still indifferent, without any reaction.
When I walked to the door, I happened to bump into Jiang Chen who walked in.
Jiang Chen finally remembered who this person was from the memory left by his predecessor. Deputy General Manager Du?
This person is surprisingly one of the people in charge of the Qianlong Trials.
"Chen'er, you're back? Come and see your manager, Mr. Du. It's hard for my father to invite Mr. Du. I didn't expect that Mr. Du would have to leave because of something unexpected."
Deputy General Manager Du glanced at Jiang Chen and asked with a half-smile, "Are you Jiang Chen?"
As one of the general persons in charge of the Qianlong Trial, he naturally knows Jiang Chen, so asking this is obviously pretentious.
Jiang Chen is a smart man, and by observing his words, he knew that he was afraid that his father would get in trouble with this person, so he immediately said with a bit of salt, "It's me, you're Deputy General Manager Du, right?"
Du Ruhai, the deputy general manager of the Qianlong Trial, is the second most powerful person. It is no exaggeration to say that he even controls the fate of the princes of the Qianlong Trial!
No matter which prince you belong to, who would not want to be respectful to Du Ruhai? Who would not want to be humble to him?
If you offend Du Chen, you will be stuck at the critical moment and you will die without knowing it.
Therefore, when he saw Jiang Chen not only not being respectful, but actually asking him questions in such a tone, Mr. Du became furious.
He, Du Ruhai, is not without a wealthy family, but there is no need for him to show any magnanimity in the Jiang family.
His expression condensed on the spot: "Jiang Hanhou? This son of yours is indeed a talented person. He dares to act wild even in the heaven-sacrifice ceremony. It's not difficult to understand that he doesn't care about me as the general manager, huh?"
When Jiang Feng heard this, he thought something was wrong and was about to apologize.
Du Ruhai waved his hand and sneered: "Jiang Hanhou, you don't have to say anything. Your son passed the Qianlong Conference, and I originally planned to help you. However, this afternoon I got reminders from many princes.
Your son is lawless, and helping him is tantamount to getting into trouble. So, if Qianlong will try, you should ask for your own blessings!"
"Mr. Du, this..." Jiang Feng became anxious.
"Jiang Hanhou, don't blame me for speaking bluntly. Even without the warning from those princes, just because of the attitude of your dandy son, if I don't give him small shoes, your Jiang family will have to burn incense!"
