After a while, the departing entourage pushed a cart out of the side hall.
The entourage came to Shang Anshu's side, knelt down to Wen Qian, and then stood up.
"What is this?" Wen Qian stared at the cart and frowned.
The follower took a step forward, grabbed the black cloth covering the cart, and pulled it gently.
In an instant, the hall was filled with splendor and splendor.
"Shang Anshu, do you want to bribe me?" Wen Qian's eyes darkened and he hit the table with his fist.
"No." Shang Anshu shook his head, "This is just a meeting gift from my subordinate to General Wen Qian."
"General, you must also know that Qinglian Town has developed well in recent years and has paid more taxes than other towns. It needs to be done in a timely manner."
"This is the progress of the times, doesn't the general think so?"
"Times have progressed?" Wen Qianben narrowed his eyes.
"If the person arrested was the daughter of the county magistrate, would you still think this is progress of the times?"
Shang Anshu curled his lips, grabbed a gold bar from the cart, played with it, and threw it back.
"General." He met Wen Qian's gaze and raised his eyebrows, "Do you know why I didn't hide it?"
"What we do is all civilized business. The women the general said he rescued were all bought by us with real money, without any coercion."
"So, why hide it?"
Wen Qian clenched his fists and stood up.
Shang Anshu didn't give him a chance to speak. He spread his hands and continued: "If you don't believe it, you can ask City Lord Wei."
"You are threatening this general!" Wen Qian was really angry.
With a few "swish, swish, swish" sounds, the scouts in the hall all showed their long swords.
Shang Anshu disagreed, and his face even darkened a bit.
"General Wen Qian, a man who knows the current affairs is a hero! Are you sure you want to take care of things that even the emperor doesn't care about?"
He gave a light high-five and shouted: "Come here, prepare some drinks. I want to have a drink with General Wen Qian."
The door of the main hall was pushed open, and officers and soldiers with weapons stood outside.
"Shang Anshu, what did you do to my people?" Wen Qian frowned.
"Nothing, just let the servants take care of you." Shang Anshu came to the table beside him and sat down.
"Prepare drinks and go quickly."
"Yes." The attendant nodded, turned and left.
A dozen people suddenly rushed in from outside and surrounded the scouts.
"General." One of the scouts looked at Wen Qian.
Wen Qian shook his head and said, "You guys go out first."
"We're not going out!" the four scouts responded in unison.
"Get out!" Wen Qian waved his hand and sat down, "General, I will be fine. Go wait outside."
The scouts had no choice but to leave first.
The officers and soldiers also withdrew.
In the blink of an eye, several beautiful women brought two tables of drinks through the door.
They did not leave, but stayed with the two of them.
Shang Anshu raised a wine glass and said with a smile: "General, come on, don't wrong yourself!"
"What do you mean by working hard all your life?"
Shang Anshu stretched out his long arms and hugged him from left to right.
"Isn't life in this world just one or two glasses of wine, three or four close friends, and five or six buckets of rice?"
"Well said!" Applause came from outside, and the door was kicked open.
Long Qian who entered the door looked sideways at Shang Anshu and clapped his hands again: "The magistrate said it very well!"
The housekeeper ran out behind her, running very hurriedly.
"Sir, this woman brought dozens of people into the house..."
"This young lady said she was looking for a friend, but you didn't let me!" Long Qian glared at the housekeeper, then her eyes fell on Wen Qian.
"Xiao Qianqian, didn't we agree to drink together? You've been missing, what's going on?"
