Chapter 215: Its a good idea to step on both sides of the aisle
The expressions on the faces of Zhang Sui'an and the three of them were as happy as the clouds dispersed after the rain.
Lord Zhao Yan will also attend the banquet in the future.
Huang An, who was talking nonsense, finally became a human being for once and told the truth.
They could finally see the Lord of the City.
In order to enhance his persuasion and confuse these people, Huang An's eyes flashed, he turned his head and glanced at Luo Feiyao, grinned at her, and then didn't care whether Luo Feiyao understood what he meant.
He continued to say to Zhang Sui'an:
"At the banquet the day after tomorrow, in addition to me, Senior Sister Zhao, the commander-in-chief's beloved daughter, Lord Luo Feiyao, the Hundred Household Officer of the Firearms Department, will also come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Feiyao was the first to react. Her eyes suddenly widened and she stared at Huang An instantly.
I?
Attending the party the day after tomorrow?
When did I agree?
His lips were slightly opened, his fingers were raised and pointed angrily at Huang An, and his silver teeth were clenched.
She opened her mouth, her eyes turning green and white, but for some reason, under Huang An's calm gaze, she did not choose to attack on the spot, or even take the initiative to reveal her identity.
In order to see clearly Huang An's true plan, she suffered the loss of being dumb.
It has become Luo Feiyao's obsession to see clearly Huang An's true plan and the purpose and motivation of every move he makes.
There is such a weakness in her character.
And this weakness happened to be discovered by Huang An.
Luo Feiyao followed him, doing nothing and only delaying things.
You also need to put some thought into it and consider her existence.
In this case, why not take advantage of it?
After all, this is a very special chess piece!
In Huang An's plan, Luo Feiyao has a special status. She is an excellent chess piece, a chess piece that can kill the Li family.
Huang An is not a good man, since Luo Feiyao wants to get something from him.
Then don't blame her for using her identity and status to do things.
This morning, I sent Luo Feiyao away and told her to watch a good show in the afternoon. On the one hand, it was really to protect her secret.
But on the other hand, it is also for Luo Feiyao, who has been pursuing the truth to no avail, to taste a little sweetness, to catch her, and to continue to keep her curious about herself.
Lest she give up midway, leave Feng'an City directly, or not use it for herself.
The second person to react was Zhang Sui'an and the others.
The three of them were overjoyed when they heard that City Lord Zhao was coming.
Later, Huang An said that the commander's beloved daughter, Luo Feiyao, would also come to the banquet.
They can eat at the same banquet as Luo Feiyao, an unattainable big shot!
They were all confused, and what followed was a huge surprise.
The beloved daughter of the Commander-in-Chief?
Is that a level that people of their level can really access?
It’s impossible to see smoke coming out of ancestral graves.
They never thought that they would have the opportunity to interact with Luo Feiyao, a noble lady who is as beautiful as heaven, let alone sit in the same courtyard to eat.
This opportunity must be seized.
If they can get Lord Luo's appreciation at the banquet, no, even a word or two of praise, they can follow the stick and build some connections.
By then, their current situation will definitely be greatly improved.
After all, in the eyes of the three of them, Luo Feiyao's status is definitely higher than that of Huang An and Zhao Yan.
Even if City Lord Zhao wants to take action against them, he will not go too far for the sake of Lord Luo Feiyao.
That is definitely a talisman for a family that has no one to protect them but controls huge wealth.
The smiles on the faces of the three people almost overflowed.
The previous unhappiness and reluctance to give away money and treasures have long since disappeared.
The three of them had no doubt that Huang An would lie to them because it was really unnecessary.
If Lord Luo Feiyao does not show up at the banquet the day after tomorrow, no one present will benefit if word of what happened today is spread.
This means that Lord Luo Feiyao will definitely appear at the banquet at noon the day after tomorrow.
But what the three of them didn't know was that Luo Feiyao's character was not the aloof, unconventional, domineering young lady who could be fooled by their good words as they thought.
Her face and her suggestions were not as effective with Huang An and Zhao Yan as they imagined.
As for Chen Yu and the others, they looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and were not surprised by the news in Huang An's words.
They took it for granted that Brother Huang often stayed with Master Luo, and the two parties should have already discussed this matter.
However, Chen Yu was still a little confused. He remembered that he had always been with Huang An, and except when sleeping, he was almost inseparable.
When did Brother Huang and Master Luo discuss this matter?
Could it be...
For a moment, Chen Yu was a little confused and his eyes kept flashing.
After some random thoughts, I gradually started to admire Huang An.
Two boats are still two iron boats.
Brother Huang, what a great trick!
Zhang Sui'an and the other two people were in a very good mood at this moment, and they were looking forward to the banquet at noon the day after tomorrow.
The three of them had a soft exchange, and Zhang Sui'an immediately smiled and handed over his hands:
"Then thank you Mr. Huang for your appreciation. The three of us will definitely arrive the day after tomorrow, we will definitely arrive. Hahaha!"
Huang An clearly understood the thoughts of the three people, and also smiled and echoed a few times.
The aristocratic families looked scary, but their thoughts were easy to guess.
You are superior to them in terms of force, power, and background, so don't handle them too easily.
If he hadn't been concerned about his master's reputation in Youzhou City and Feng'an City, how could Huang An have used such a procrastinating approach?
Suppression by force is his favorite thing.
It's a pity that I can only endure it now.
The master can't dominate the entire Youzhou with one hand, he still has to act in accordance with the laws of the imperial court.
Huang An "calmly" moved his eyes away from the wooden box, and then tentatively said:
"I wonder why the three clan leaders came here today?"
He finally got down to business.
It's just that his current behavior of pretending to understand and pretending to be ignorant is really too shameless.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Feiyao on the side couldn't stand it anymore, turned his head and snorted, not wanting to read anymore.
His chest heaved up and down, and he even breathed a little faster with anger.
Zhang Sui'an and the others also gained a new understanding of Huang An's shamelessness.
"this......"
Zhang Sui'an's tone was choked, his eyes kept rolling, and he kept thinking about whether it was appropriate to say what he had discussed before.
The three of them made eye contact and soon reached an agreement.
Although Huang An didn't want to entertain them today, he showed his intention to accept the money brought by the three of them.
It would be better to just show their cards and talk business. Anyway, they already got what they wanted from Huang An.
Huang An and City Lord Zhao are brothers and sisters, and they have an irreversible relationship. What Huang An means is what City Lord Zhao means.
They still have this awareness.
City Lord Zhao allowed them to visit, which meant that at a certain level, the two sides had a basis for contact, and the originally uncertain relationship between the two parties suddenly entered a stable and safe period.
From now on, the three of them no longer have to worry about running out of family savings. At the very least, they used the money to buy peace, an insurance that both parties tacitly recognized.
Of course, this is just their wishful thinking.
From beginning to end, Huang An only gave them a vague attitude rather than a clear answer.
Their guess was the result of Huang An's deliberate guidance, and it was also the result they expected in their hearts.
People's guesses tend to be inclined in a direction that is beneficial to them.
This is determined by human nature, and this kind of speculation is often hidden, unintentional, and difficult to detect.
Likewise, this human nature can also be exploited by smart people like Huang An.
It's no wonder that they believe what Huang An said so firmly.
Zhang Sui'an got the promise he wanted, and he felt comfortable at the moment, but he still pretended to feel guilty and apologized to Huang An.
He wanted to find a reasonable reason to give the money away.
"Young Master Huang and Master Zhao Yan returned home from a long way, and we did not go out of the city to greet them. This is the first crime. When Zhao City Master took office, we and the local sages were unable to pay their respects in time. This is the second crime.
Lord Zhao is busy with official duties, and we, the stupid ones, cannot help him. This is the third crime."
Zhang Sui'an opened his mouth and his tongue bloomed like a lotus, which made Huang An, Luo Feiyao and others look at him with admiration.
Everything black can be said to be white.
"This person is as shameless as Huang An!"
Luo Feiyao muttered secretly on the side, feeling more and more that staying in this room was dirtying her body.
Zhang Sui'an kept apologizing and showed an extremely sincere look of guilt.
As if he felt that his verbal apology was not sincere, he finally stood up slowly, pulled up Huang An's sleeves with one hand, pointed to the neat wooden boxes placed at the door with the other, and led Huang An towards the wooden boxes.
Zhao Ji and Qian Zhong followed them.
"Master Huang, please look at this box. In this box are the three tribes of us. In gratitude for the favor of the imperial court and Master Zhao's difficulties, we collected some things from the labor of the army. They are presented to the imperial court by us and the other three families."
His words were beautifully spoken, upright, and his reasons were thoughtful.
Even Luo Feiyao, who witnessed the whole process, had to admit that if the court sent someone to investigate, there would be no real evidence that Zhao Yan had accepted bribes in this matter.
This kind of snake oil method has almost no solution.
Zhang Sui'an now has the qualification to attend the banquet in two days. He is very happy to have the opportunity to meet City Lord Zhao and to have a banquet with a beautiful girl like Luo Feiyao.
As he spoke, he squatted down, reached out and touched the nearest wooden box under his feet, and then lifted it.
With a "click" sound, the wooden box opened.
The shining silver made Chen Yu and others unable to open their eyes, and they kept swallowing their saliva.
There are too many, ingots of silver, arranged neatly, as bright and clean as new and dazzling.
Huang An also narrowed his eyes slightly.
He has seen more money than this, and he has seen more shocking scenes.
However, the batch of silver in front of me has a different meaning.
This is his first time taking bribes!
It was an experience that he had never had in more than 20 years and had never imagined that he could experience it.
The white money is right in front of you, at your fingertips.
"Power and status are really a good thing!"
Huang An saw the expressions of Chen Yu and others in his eyes and remembered them in his heart.
He glanced at Luo Feiyao and saw Luo Feiyao looking at him expressionlessly.
Her eyes were still full of questioning and faint anger.
She didn't seem to find this scene strange at all.
There may be as much as a thousand taels of silver in this box, but I don't have much desire to covet it.
Huang An had already expected her reaction.
He was also surprised that Luo Feiyao didn't scold him or reveal his identity.
This guy doesn't seem to be that rigid!
As the commander of Youzhou City and the beloved daughter of Master Luo He, the Golden Body Realm martial arts master, she should have seen more scenes than this one.
Moreover, the amount of money that was received and given in bribes was even more shocking when he closed the big boxes in front of him.
Huang An calmly nodded his head at Luo Feiyao to express his gratitude to her for not causing trouble, then turned his head and stopped paying attention.
Continue to look at the three clan leaders Zhang Sui'an.
"This box was collected from Brother Qian's clan! This box contains a total of one thousand taels of silver!"
"These two boxes are filled with jade articles, valuable calligraphy and paintings, and they were plundered from my clan!"
...
"There is also this box, which was collected from Brother Zhao's clan! There are one thousand five hundred taels of silver in one box!"
"This box contains thirty-five kilograms of exotic animal meat, as well as some large tonics with mild medicinal properties. They are all good things."
.......
Zhang Sui'an's words seemed to have a magical power that ordinary people could not resist. In addition to Luo Feiyao and Huang An, who was pretending to be a demented surprise, the eyes of three Bronze Skin Realm warriors including Chen Yu were already red at this moment.
Among the twenty-one boxes in total, more than three thousand taels of cash were directly packed.
Including other miscellaneous items, the total value exceeds four to five thousand taels.
This number made Huang An feel a little sad for a while.
"My guess was good before. The wealth is concentrated in the hands of the landlord class. These wealthy families were robbed several times by people suspected of being masters last time. The estimated losses were as much as tens of thousands taels. Now these three families alone are only
Just to protect the family, you actually gave out so much silver!"
"They have so much money and wealth!"
Huang An's eyes were burning and red as he stared straight at the wooden boxes all opened by the wall.
He kept swallowing saliva in his throat, looking like he was obsessed with money.
These aristocratic families are so rich.
A certain belief in Huang An's heart became even stronger!
If he eradicates them all, then the entire Feng'an City, including the land and population, will belong to him and Senior Sister Zhao.
Then I have a basic foothold in this Ming Dynasty, which is clearly on the decline.
He can base himself on Feng'an City and quickly expand his power with the help of Feng'an City's vast land and population of more than 300,000.
Huang An, my heart is moved again!
With Chao Mu and the others from his hometown as a reference and adviser, Huang An deeply understood the key points that needed special attention in the process of establishing power.
In this special second anchor world, the extraordinary power of warriors cannot be ignored.
Although there are no warriors in the true sense among our hometown on Earth, they still have a lot in common in terms of establishing power!
A force is like a country.
The force that can meet the needs of Huang An's martial arts practice must be a self-sufficient "small country" without obvious flaws or shortcomings.
Although Huang An has a world's resources, he can provide a lot of money, food, weapons and other materials that can change the entire second anchor world.
But he can't do it now because there are warriors and high-level warriors who can cause fatal damage to him.
He can only continue to develop his power in a relatively hidden way.
Therefore, the force he belongs to still has to meet the qualifications that a normal force should have.
Land, farmland, population, economy, etc., he needs them all.
He had money, but in the Ming Empire, money was not everything.
He took Feng'an City!
In Huang An's view, although the final fruits of victory belong to the master and Senior Sister Zhao, Huang An can only get a share of it.
However, Feng'an City can be used as an experiment, a unique practical experience.
People need to grow. Huang An knows that his abilities are insufficient. He also needs to experience various things, overcome various difficulties, and continue to grow and make progress.
This is true for everyone.
If he encounters such an opportunity again in the future, Huang An will be able to handle the same thing with ease.
These aristocratic families who control a large number of people, farmland and land are almost no different from lambs to be slaughtered in front of him.
It's so tempting!
The greedy expression on Huang An's face became more and more arrogant.
In this state, he was so deceptive that the expressions on their faces were almost the same as those of Chen Yu and others.
