"Meet Madam."
In the Purple Qi Tower, as soon as Jiang Yuyan came to the main seat and sat down, no matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone present respectfully saluted Jiang Yuyan.
"No gifts! Take a seat."
Jiang Yuyan, who was sitting on the main seat with a smile, stretched out her hand slightly and replied.
"All of you sages present here who heard about Yu Yan's first visit to Quanzhou have taken the liberty to invite me. Please don't blame me."
After everyone sat down, Jiang Yuyan began to speak, with a warm face and the look of a gentle and wealthy lady.
After hearing this, everyone at the scene held up their hands and didn't dare, and then secretly glanced at Huang Zhonglang. The city lord's wife looked very gentle and kind. When she came in, she only brought a pretty maid with her, not at all like the Hongmen Banquet you mentioned.
Huang Zhonglang also felt everyone's gaze, shrugged and said nothing. In his opinion, all this is just an illusion showing the fangs of the hungry wolf, and he will find out later.
From the beginning to the end, he did not believe that the city lord's wife was simply setting up a banquet to treat everyone to a meal.
"In addition to inviting everyone here today to get to know you, Yuyan actually needs your help with a small matter. I hope you can support me a lot."
Jiang Yuyan had no intention of chatting too much with everyone present, and did not wait for the food at Ziqilou to be served, so she got to the point and prepared to decide on the important person first.
In the hall, as soon as Jiang Yuyan said these words, everyone present looked at each other in confusion and then looked at Huang Zhonglang again. At the same time, they secretly thought, is this about to get to the point? Could it be that what Huang Zhonglang said just now is true, that this is the Hongmen Banquet?
On the other side, Huang Zhonglang, who saw everyone's eyes gathered around him, slightly raised his head and puffed out his chubby chest.
He seems to be very satisfied with everyone's reaction at this time, thinking that everyone finally realizes his ability to have foresight.
"Ahem... Madam, we also know that the city lord spends a lot of money to fight against the tyrants outside, but we are also in difficulty. I'm afraid we won't be able to help you."
Huang Zhonglang, who was sitting in the middle of the crowd facing everyone's attention, spoke, but his words were very bold, because it was obviously a polite rejection.
In the hall, Jiang Yuyan looked at the short fat man who appeared out of nowhere and frowned slightly, not knowing why.
What crusade against the tyrant? What money is tight?
Are you telling me the same thing?
Shaking her head, business was more important. Jiang Yuyan didn't want to argue with him, so she just glanced at him lightly and continued;
"I don't need much support, as long as everyone and every family..."
"Huh, not much? How much do you want from us, Madam? We, who have a small family and a small business, hope that the Madam of the City Lord will be gentle and leave some wealth for us."
Before Jiang Yuyan finished speaking, Huang Zhonglang chuckled and continued with a strange tone.
Regarding Jiang Yuyan's next words, Huang Zhonglang firmly believed that everyone must support materials and property.
As a person who came from another world in the sky, he couldn't bear to be governed by the people of his ancestral land. Besides, who would want to cut his own flesh?
From Huang Zhonglang's point of view, now that the prominent people in Quanzhou are gathered together, if he can stand up for everyone's rights without losing the face of the city lord's wife, then there is no reason why Quanzhou will not fall into his hands in the future.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhonglang looked at the people who were smiling at him and suddenly felt that what he had just said was not in vain, and his fleshy waist became more straight.
In the hall, Jiang Yuyan narrowed her eyes as she looked at Huang Zhonglang who interrupted, wondering where this short boy had the courage to be so rude.
However, thinking that tonight's matter still required everyone's cooperation, she didn't want to cause trouble, so she planned to settle the accounts after the matter was done.
So she still ignored Huang Zhonglang, looked around at everyone and then continued;
"Ever since the natural disaster, Quanzhou City has been in chaos. Recently, under my leadership in Yangzhou City, it has finally restored normal order, but I don't want someone to cheat..."
"Jiang Yuyan, I'm just telling the truth. I don't have money to support you, so you just convict me like this? Why are you cheating on me? Isn't this too childish? Are you treating everyone present as fools?"
Before Jiang Yuyan finished speaking, Huang Zhonglang stood up and shouted first.
In his opinion, Jiang Yuyan just glanced at him first and then said these words of accountability, which was obviously looking for a reason to convict him.
In this case, there is nothing to be silent about. After the first exchange of insults, she must lose face today and let everyone present see that this little girl who pretends to be the wife of the city lord is nothing more than that.
"Xiaolan, this man is drunk. Please wake him up."
Facing Huang Zhonglang's repeated provocations, Jiang Yuyan's originally smiling face gradually disappeared, and she was seen giving instructions to Xiaolan beside her with her big innocent eyes.
"Yes." Xiaolan responded respectfully, then picked up a bowl of tea and walked towards Huang Zhonglang.
Huang Zhonglang was startled when he heard Jiang Yuyan's words. The wine at Ziqi Tower hadn't been served yet, and he didn't drink it either? How do you say I'm drunk?
Then his mind changed, and he suddenly showed a proud look on his face, thinking;
It seems that he was frightened by his power just now, so did he deliberately send a maid to bribe him so that he would not embarrass her?
Thinking of this, Huang Zhonglang's big, chubby face couldn't help but reveal a hint of obscenity, and his eyes stared closely at Xiaolan, who was walking toward him.
"Master Huang, would you like some tea to sober up?"
Compared to Jiang Yuyan who didn't know the details of Huang Zhonglang, Xiaolan still did her homework and knew clearly who this person was.
"well..."
Huang Zhonglang first showed a proud smile, and then looked around the hall. Seeing the stunned expressions in everyone's eyes, he immediately knew that these people admired him.
After all, among all the people present, who could be so bold as to speak to the city lord's wife like this and even ask her maid to serve tea.
"Master Huang, this is not how you drink this tea."
Just when Huang Zhonglang was about to reach out and take the tea cup from Xiaolan's hand, Xiaolan smiled sweetly and said to stop him.
"Oh, how do you want to drink it?"
Huang Zhonglang said curiously.
Xiaolan smiled and did not answer, but just motioned to Huang Zhonglang to put his left hand on the table in front of him and stretch his head over.
Huang Zhonglang didn't know why, but he didn't refuse when faced with the stern Xiaolan.
I thought it was some new trick from the City Lord’s Mansion.
When Huang Zhonglang's head stretched out, Xiao Lan also leaned down and whispered in his ear;
"Master Huang, has anyone told you that your mouth stinks."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Huang Zhonglang could react, Xiaolan's face suddenly turned cold. The hands that were originally serving the tea loosened one of her hands, picked up the chopsticks on the table, and connected Huang Zhonglang's left hand with the table with a "du" sound.
"ah!"
Just when Boss Huang opened his mouth in pain and howled miserably, there was another "Bang!", but it was Xiaolan who slapped the tea cup in her hand through his open mouth and penetrated it first. The back of the head came out again and fell to the ground.
The tea, blood, and brains splashed on the ground hit the people next to Huang Zhonglang, and they were immediately frightened and retreated, and several seats were kicked over.
Everyone present was shocked. In fact, they had seen a lot of murders, and even they themselves had done it a lot.
But this charming maid, with a smile on her face, struck out without blinking an eye, and without any warning, she beat people until their brains were filled with blood. This was really the first time they had seen her, it was so penetrating.
Seeing Huang Zhonglang with his head hanging down and staring blankly, Zhifu He, who was sitting in the front row of the hall, was a little confused. He hadn't complained yet, so why did this man die like this?
While everyone was feeling slightly awestruck, Jiang Yuyan, who was sitting in the main seat, nodded slightly, thinking that Xiaolan was very discerning and courageous.
"Okay, the barking dog is dead, let's continue."
When Xiaolan returned to her side, Jiang Yuyan continued to speak as if nothing had happened.
“My invitation to everyone this time is actually very simple. I am asking you to lend me some manpower.
I have received news that a large number of people from Japan's Wushen Jue Palace will log in to the port tonight and want to occupy Quanzhou City. For the sake of Quanzhou's tranquility, I believe everyone will not refuse, right? "
"Borrowing someone? No problem, no problem..."
Everyone present was stunned at first, and then realized that this was not about cutting off everyone's lives for property. They suddenly felt happy and nodded in agreement.
Although borrowing money is another form of financial expenditure, it is a drop in the bucket compared to searching for property first. People are worthless these days.
At this moment, even those who were on the same front as Huang Zhonglang had forgotten their previous persistence.
People, they can afford it.
As for staying together in the same world? Hehe, why should we cling to our dead partner? Instead of facing the world's top forces, it would be better to think about how to divide the Huang family's property.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's first clean up the moths that are eating inside and out. Mr. Li, do you have anything to say?"
As soon as Jiang Yuyan finished speaking, Li Rong, the head of the Li family, one of the five wealthy businessmen in Quanzhou who had no presence in the crowd, suddenly felt tight in his heart, and a biting chill swept through his body.
.....
Night, midnight.
Quanzhou Port.
After wiping out the Huang family and Li family as well as the Wushenjuegong personnel lurking in the city, Jiang Yuyan led the crowd to hide in the darkness of the port and quietly wait for the so-called big shot of Wushenjuegong to arrive.
It was dark at night, and nearly three hundred ships with bows came faintly into the sea.
