"Do you think you can pick up Qiao Xiao today?" Zhang Hongjiang sneered.
"Does Tang Qingfeng still dare not to let him go?" Tang Wen asked.
"Hehehe, I, Zhang Hongjiang, will wait and see." Zhang Hongjiang said with a smile.
"Then please ask Mr. Zhang to accompany me to the Six Yamen." Tang Wen said.
"Of course, because I want to see what Qin Botong is capable of." Zhang Hongjiang said, flicking his sleeves.
Soon, the group arrived at the six-door helm.
"Haha, Sir Tang is very powerful." Kang Qingfeng said sarcastically as soon as he saw Tang Wen.
"Awesome, I don't think so." Tang Wen shook his head seriously.
"At such a young age, you actually learned how to find superiors to suppress me?" Kang Qingfeng said.
"You have always refused to let me go. Do you still want me to kneel down and beg you?" Tang Wen replied coldly.
"They are all serving the country. At a time when the war in the northwest is getting intense, the spies of the Qin State have repeatedly invaded, and the heroes in the world are ready to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
I, Liumen, shoulder heavy responsibilities. On the one hand, I have to catch spies, and on the other hand, I have to maintain the peace of the martial arts world and punish the gangsters who cause trouble.
But we are so dedicated to the court that we are so poor that we don’t even have a place to work.
As a royal noble and a first-class earl, what's the harm in donating a house?" Kang Qingfeng said aggressively.
"Did I say I won't donate? But what do you say, Lord Kang? You actually gave me the price of the mountain land as a credit for my military exploits.
Chibafang is located in a downtown area. I spent hundreds of thousands of taels, but you took sixty or seventy acres.
How many military exploits are recorded according to mountain terrain?
Master Kang, are you clearly bullying me, Tang Wen?" Tang Wen asked.
"Hahaha, Sir Tang, that was before, but we are different now." At this time, a middle-aged man with a long and thin face who had been standing next to Kang Qingfeng said with a smile.
"Who is your Excellency?" Tang Wen looked at him and asked.
"I am Chen Changkong, the helmsman and supervisor of the Yanling branch." Kang Qingfeng said.
"Master Tang, the six-fan helm has always had two positions: the helmsman and the helmsman.
The two of them are at the same level, both are at the fifth level.
The helmsman is in charge of the overall affairs of the helm, while the helmsman supervises the affairs of the helm and is in charge of money and food, etc." At this time, Yang Yun said.
Tang Wen understood that this was a check and balance method of the government.
To put it bluntly, it is the art of balance in officialdom. The superiors were afraid that the helmsman would use his hands to block the sky and cause chaos, so they sent a helmsman to supervise the helmsman in carrying out his official duties.
In modern terms, the helmsman is a senior city official, while the helmsman is a combination of the mayor and a senior official.
"Master Chen, what's different now?" Tang Wen asked.
"The Yanling Branch is not only in charge of the Jianghu affairs of Yanling County, but also the affairs of the neighboring Taizhou and Youyun Prefectures.
We have seven prefectures and six prefectures in Linghai Province, and Yanling County is in charge of three prefectures. Therefore, the staff must be expanded.
Going up and down, the number of handymen, agents, reserve members, full members, and horses totaled more than 200 people.
To feed and clothe these two hundred people, they also need a place to live, a place to work, and a place to practice.
We still have to build jail cells and raise horses, etc. The land is too small, but we can’t move around.
Therefore, the provincial government believes that your Chibabo should be completely expropriated.
However, don’t worry, we will give you a discount based on the price in the downtown area, just a little more." Chen Changkong said.
"Aren't you bullying others? This is a waste of money." Luo Yiwu was furious.
"How can you say robbery? This is requisition from the court. We have a handwriting from the Provincial Hall. Lord Tang, please take a look." Chen Changkong laughed dryly, took out the handwriting and said, "Look clearly, this is the Master of the Provincial Hall.
Mr. Luo Ping'an personally wrote the edict, and it was also stamped with the provincial seal."
"I don't agree." Tang Wen said.
"Is Mr. Tang going to disobey the provincial order?" Kang Qingfeng's face was serious and he came over with an imposing manner.
"You are just trying to steal some of your military exploits. You think we don't know about it, and it's not you Kang Qingfeng who did it." Gu Hanyan was so angry that he took a step forward, full of energy.
Suddenly, a terrifying light green energy hit Kang Qingfeng, and Kang Qingfeng took three big steps back.
Suddenly, his energy and blood surged, and his face suddenly turned livid. He pointed at Gu Hanyan and said, "Where are you from? Get me a stick and beat you to death!"
"Power!" Immediately, several disciples from the Six Sects rushed forward with murderous intent.
"Presumptuous!" Tang Wen snorted.
Luo Yiwu took a few steps forward and stood in front of Tang Wen, looking at Kang Qingfeng with eager eyes.
"You want to rebel?" Kang Qingfeng slapped the table next to him.
"I, the Deputy Envoy of the Jiangzhou Regiment, have the same rank as you, Mr. Kang, with a rank of fifth rank. Gu Hanyan is my personal servant. Mr. Kang, where did he come from?" Tang Wen asked.
"Fifth rank, hahaha, are you called an official? Tang Wen, don't take up a false position to fight against me? You are not qualified enough." Kang Qingfeng laughed.
"Presumptuous! Kang Qingfeng, you have forgotten that I am still a first-class earl.
Royal nobles, you are mocking me like this.
Are you mocking the royal family of Chu? Do you want me to join you immediately?" Tang Wen said sharply.
Kang Qingfeng was stunned and immediately shrank his neck.
This title would be empty without an official position to back it up, but once there is the position of deputy regimental envoy.
The two virtual titles are close together, plus Tang Wen has people under his command, money in his pocket, and a master like Gu Hanyan, which means he has a bit of power.
Naturally, Kang Qingfeng became slightly wary.
"Master Tang, don't be angry. Harmony produces wealth, and harmony produces wealth. It's all for the sake of the court." At this time, Chen Changkong came out to make peace with Xini.
"Master Tang, this is the intention of the provincial government, not that I, Kang Qingfeng, am messing around.
Moreover, the 250 acres of Qianye Square, which you paid for at that time, only cost more than 300,000 taels of silver, which is only 3,000 taels of military merit when converted into silver.
And we added some for you and calculated it as four thousand battle merits for you, so you won’t suffer any loss, right?” Kang Qingfeng said.
“That’s because the owner urgently needed money to pay off debts, so he sold it at a 50% discount.
I am not in a hurry, I still want to use Qianbafang for business.
Moreover, in the past few months, I have invested hundreds of thousands of taels in Qianbafang.
Your four thousand battle achievements will be discounted, and I will never agree to it," Tang Wen said.
"Then how much military merit do you want to calculate?" Chen Changkong asked.
“Once Chibafang is developed, it will be a prosperous shop.
According to the current market price, it can be sold for at least 700,000 taels.
In addition to the hundreds of thousands of taels that I invested in building houses, etc., it is more than one million taels." Tang Wendao.
"Ten thousand battle merits? Sir Tang, do you dare to say it?" Kang Qingfeng was so angry that his teeth were weak.
"If you give me 10,000 battle merits, I will have to think carefully about it," Tang Wen said.
"You've gone too far! It's an open robbery. You can't just give away the military merits of the imperial court. They're all money. Ten thousand military merits is absolutely impossible." Kang Qingfeng shouted with trembling lips.
"Forget it, if you dare to enter Qianbafang, I will definitely file a notice and accuse you of breaking in and seizing the private residences of the nobles of the court." Tang Wen said stiffly.
"The helmsman has business matters to attend to. When the time comes, you will go to the execution ground to collect Qiao Xiao's body." Kang Qingfeng was furious.
"Qiao Xiao was originally a slave of my Gu family. If you, Kang Qingfeng, dare to kill him, I, Gu Hanyan, will lose my life. Unless you, Kang Qingfeng, hide in the provincial hall, you will be stabbed one day." Gu Hanyan
Murderous.
"Get out, get out of here, you are not welcome in my six-fan branch." Kang Qingfeng was so angry that he became hysterical.
"Haha, Mr. Kang, don't get so angry, take care of yourself." Zhang Hongjiang smiled, turned around and left.
"Let's go!" Tang Wen waved his hand and turned around with the people.
"Sir, why did I tell you it wouldn't be that simple? Now you finally see it. In fact, it's not just you, we have also been robbed of a lot of ground by him." After coming out, Zhang Hongjiang sighed.
