Chapter 32 Xu Yanran, attending the banquet
Liu Yize looked like he had expected it, "She is Xu Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Xu family. The Xu family controls most of the land in the west of the city. It is our underworld." Shancheng is second only to the four major families.
However, because they are foreigners, they have been squeezed out by the local families and cannot be ranked alongside the four major families. "
Qin Jiangwen. Yan became interested, "Four major families? Which four families are they? I have never heard of them before."
Liu Yize nodded, "This is normal. Except for the Li family in the south of the city, the rest of the four major families are in the inner city. He is also very low-key on weekdays.
The remaining three families are the Song family, where the county magistrate is located, and the Zhao and Lin families. Speaking of which, the Lin family is actually from outside, but they have a strong background and no one dares to provoke them. ”
“That’s it. "Qin Jiang nodded.
"Okay, let's walk around Bei City first, and buy some gifts by the way. We can't go there empty-handed. I heard that the county captain likes tea. I will pick some up later. "Liu Yize said.
"Tea? I don’t know much about tea ceremony. "
"Nothing, my dear brother, no need to worry, I have my own arrangements for you. ”
While walking around in Bei City, Qin Jiang paid attention to his surroundings, but did not find any antique shops or pawn shops, which made him a little disappointed.
Not long after, the two came to a tea shop, which was the most famous tea shop in Bei City, Highland Barley Ju.
When you walk into the tea shop, there are cabinets standing against the walls on both sides, containing various tea trays and tea cakes. Most of the people walking inside are wearing brocade clothes.
However, Qin Jiang's tall figure, especially his broad arms and handsome appearance, still attracted the attention of many people the moment he walked in.
“My dear brother, please sit here for a while while I go to the second floor for you.”
As he said that, Liu Yize waved his hand, and a boy immediately came over to greet him, "Master Liu, are you here? The shopkeeper is on the second floor."
Liu Yize nodded, "This is my brother, brewing pot Biluochun "
The boy bowed slightly and said, "Okay, Sir, please come over here."
After Qin Jiang sat down, Liu Yize nodded slightly and walked towards the second floor. .
After a while, the waiter came over with a tea tray and poured tea for Qin Jiang, "You can take it easy. If you need anything, just call me Xiaowu."
After the boy left, Qin Jiang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. It didn't taste good.
Tap tap tap.
After sitting for a while, footsteps came from behind. Qin Jiang turned his head, and it was Xu Yanran, the woman in the skirt just now.
Seeing Qin Jiang, she was a little surprised, and then smiled slightly, "Young master, you are here to drink tea."
Qin Jiang nodded slightly, "Waiting for Brother Liu."< br>
Xu Yanran suddenly realized, "Oh~ I haven't asked for the name of the young master yet."
"Qin Jiang."
"Qin Jiang? It turns out to be Mr. Qin. Yanran has something important to do, so she has to excuse herself first. Yes." Xu Yanran said with a smile.
"Miss Xu, you can do whatever you want." Qin Jiang said.
Not long after Xu Yanran left, Liu Yize came down from upstairs and handed a tea box to Qin Jiang, "Let's go, we have to get there quickly. The banquet will start in a while."< br>
After leaving Qingbara Residence, the two walked outside Beishi. Qin Jiang looked around and finally found an antique shop near the end of Beishi.
After coming out of Beishi City, the two of them rushed towards the center of the inner city. The county captain's residence was located in Anxingfang, not far from the Heishan government office and very close to the center of the city.
On the way, he passed by the government office. Qin Jiang looked over and saw a big drum standing outside the government office. Two government servants wearing black and blue government uniforms were holding killing sticks, leaning on the door and yawning.
Qin Jiang shook his head slightly. Compared with the county soldiers, these government officials were much worse.
After passing the government office and walking forward for a while, a mansion came into view. The door was painted shiny with black paint, and even the walls were black and gray, giving people a simple and serious feeling.
Two black-armored county soldiers stood on both sides of the gate with solemn expressions. Compared with the previous government office, this place looked more like a government office.
The door is open, many people are coming in and out, and it looks very lively.
As they approached, Qin Jiang and Liu Yize presented congratulatory gifts one after another, and then walked into the mansion after the recorder recorded it.
After passing through the gate, there is a special person guiding the way, and then you arrive at the backyard. It is a very huge and open yard, nearly a thousand square meters!
In the middle is a stone road, which is more than ten meters wide. Low food tables are placed on both sides of the road, and blankets are spread in front of the tables for people to sit.
At this time, there were roughly two to three hundred people in the courtyard, but it still didn't seem crowded, and even a little empty. It can be said that this piece of land alone is worth at least a thousand taels of silver!
“Tsk, as expected of the county captain, I really don’t know how much this mansion can be sold for.”
Liu Yize said with emotion, once upon a time, even their Liu Yize When the Clan was at its most glorious, it was far worse than this.
"Hey! Look, it's the Blood Flame Golden Spear!" He pointed at the center of the yard and said excitedly.
Qin Jiang looked over and looked through the crowd to see the bright red in the center of the courtyard.
I saw the Blood Flame Golden Gun being placed on an iron frame, with two black-armored county soldiers standing on both sides to guard it.
"Okay, let's find a place to sit down first. We are still a little late, and there are no seats near the center."
Liu Yize shook his head in annoyance, he would have known better. Come here earlier!
While the two were looking for a place, near the center of the Blood Flame Golden Gun, a woman who was talking to someone noticed the two of them, with a bit of surprise in her eyes, and stood up immediately.
"Look, dear brother, the one with a shiny face is Li Songzheng, the head of the Li family in the south of the city. The one next to him is Zhao Yunsheng, the head of the Zhao family." Liu Yize pointed to the position near the center of the yard and said.
Qin Jiang looked over and saw the familiar fat man at a glance. Even at this moment, there was still no sign of practicing martial arts.
But the beatings he suffered in the past few days left him with broken arms and broken ribs, which left a deep impression on him.
When I master the Red Tiger Fist, I will need to ask for advice.
He looked at another middle-aged man, wearing a blue brocade suit, with a strong build and a high crown on his head. He knew he was a warrior at a glance.
"Why don't we see the other two families?" he asked.
"The other two? The county magistrate didn't come today for some reason. As for the Lin family, they basically don't attend such banquets." Liu Yize said.
Oddly enough, the county magistrate usually likes to attend such banquets, but for some reason he did not come today.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
While the two were talking, there was a sound of gongs outside the mansion, followed by the sound of horse hooves.
"Xu~"
After reining in the horse, the sound of the iron armor falling to the ground was heard, "Remove the armor!"
The powerful voice could still be heard clearly even through the courtyard wall.
A moment later, a sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and a figure like an iron tower walked into the backyard, walking like a dragon and a tiger, carrying the power of a superior.
The person who came was none other than Long Yuesheng. After he walked into the yard, the sounds in the yard fell silent.
He glanced around, first passing by the heads of each family, and then looking around. When he saw Qin Jiang, he paused slightly, seeming a little surprised, and then nodded.
Liu Yize quickly stood up and raised his hands. Seeing that Qin Jiang didn't move, he pulled him up.
Long Yuesheng smiled, and then clasped his fists slightly, "You can feel free to do as you like. The four heads of the family, Zhao, Li, Lu, and Liu, please come in and have a chat."
Said, He walked through the backyard, gently touched the body of the Blood Flame Golden Gun as he passed by, and walked straight into the back room.
In the courtyard, the head of the Zhao family and Li Song were following, and two other people also stood up from their seats.
After they left, the remaining people looked at Qin Jiang and Liu Yize secretly. Some people recognized Liu Yize, but no one recognized Qin Jiang.
Just looking at this outfit and this rather formidable temperament, I think he has an extraordinary status.
The two sat down, Qin Jiang picked up a piece of fruit on the table, took a bite, and asked: "Why is this Long County Lieutenant holding a banquet?"
Look at this battle, where is it? It is an ordinary banquet, definitely not just to see the Blood Flame Golden Gun.
Liu Yize also picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He also felt that this banquet was special. With his Blood Flame Golden Gun, how could he have such a card?
After thinking for a moment, he said, "In my opinion, it is probably to deal with the increasing number of strange dangers in the city."
"Weird dangers? Isn't it in Daheishan? Is there one in the city too?" Qin Jiang asked road.
Liu Yize nodded and was about to say something when a female voice sounded in their ears.
"Young Master Qin and Young Master Liu are really destined to meet each other. I never thought we would meet again here."
Xu Yanran walked over with a smile on her face.
