Chapter 178

At this time, Chu Liangyi, who had been kicked off the table early, came over: "It seems that our attempt to instigate a relationship between the Liang family and the Ren family has failed."

Lin Hongfei chuckled: "I want them to turn against each other after just one drink, unless I am Zhuge Liang who quarrels with other scholars."

"It's a pity that I'm just Wang Lang talking in front of the two armies."

Chu Liangyi suddenly laughed and said: "Hahaha, but you, Wang Lang, tell the truth and lies at the same time."

"I heard that Ren Anfu was collecting money to find a general, and I clearly saw that Liang Wanyi's face changed."

Lin Hongfei smiled and said: "So, this is the purpose of this banquet. I want Liang Wanyi to believe that Ren Anfu is desperately raising money!"

"If you believe this, the following things will be much easier to handle!"

"By the way, send a message to Yunshan. Tomorrow night, we will rob the Liang family's farm in the suburbs. There will be a lot of boiled opium there."

"Remember, leave some traces to make the Liang family suspicious of Ren Anfu!"

Having said this, Lin Hongfei shook his neck, relaxed his muscles and bones, and said calmly:

"Although these wealthy gentry in Jiangdu County fight with each other openly and secretly, they can still be consistent in dealing with the outside world."

"If I, the newcomer, don't divide them, I will face pressure from the entire Jiangdu County gentry class."

Wu Yongquan on the side was chewing melon seeds and said with a smile: "If it were me, there would be no need to go to such trouble and I would just call them together in the name of a banquet."

"Then he threw a cup into the ring and charged them with a submachine gun!"

"How happy this is!"

Lin Hongfei laughed: "It's quite pleasant, but in this way, we will offend these wealthy people in Jiangdu County to death."

"When the time comes, I don't know how many people from these big clans will come to seek revenge from us. You and I are both mortal beings. As long as we get hit by a bullet, we will lose half our lives."

"Isn't this how Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong back then, died?"

"I am the only one in my family, and I don't have a younger brother with purple beard and blue eyes to take over my career."

"So, we must let them fight within themselves."

"We control the situation in the dark and carry out our actions secretly."

"In this way, we will not attract hatred, but we can also get rid of all these obstructive people!"

"Once these people die, Jiangdu County will be completely mine!"

······

Jiangdu County

Ren Mansion

"Sir, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Mr. Liang and the others have left the county office and have gone home."

"It seems that the county magistrate and them all drank a lot!"

A thin, dark man in linen clothes bowed his waist and said respectfully.

Opposite, Ren Anfu was wearing loose clothes, lying on his side on the Arhat bed, holding a pipe in his hand, and there was a flaming opium lamp on the bed table next to him.

"call!"

Ren Anfu blew out a cloud of smoke from his mouth, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Do you know what they said?"

The thin, dark man shook his head: "I don't know about that. I can't get in even if they drink alcohol in the county government office."

"but···"

The thin, dark man hesitated for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "When they were going out, I vaguely heard the words "Suppress bandits, 37-30."

"But it was a bit far away, so I couldn't hear it very clearly!"

Ren Anfu thought for a moment with his eyes closed, and then sneered: "Hmph, it seems that the county magistrate wants to join forces with the Liang family to scrape land in the name of suppressing banditry taxes."

Hearing this, the thin black man said angrily: "If that's the case, then why doesn't he discuss the matter of suppressing bandits with you, master? How can he do it without you!"

"Haha, if you find one less person, you can share less with others."

"Our county magistrate understands this!"

From Lin Hongfei's series of performances after arriving in Jiangdu County, as well as the information he found out from the Governor's Mansion.

The image of Lin Hongfei in Ren Anfu's mind was that of a man who was greedy for money, stingy and shameless.

Bai Wenju only met him once, and after leaving the county office, he spent the whole day scolding Lin Hongfei as a shameless scum.

To be able to make Bai Wen so angry, you can imagine that County Magistrate Lin is not only shameless, but simply shameless!

The thin black man asked carefully: "Master, what should I do next? Are you still staring at the county magistrate?"

Ren Anfu waved his hand: "No need, just leave two eyeliners and keep an eye on the county government office."

"Go to Qipan Mountain and tell Gouzi and the others that a caravan from Hubei Province will pass by Qipan Mountain the day after tomorrow."

"This caravan brought a lot of good stuff, so rob it!"

"After you finish the robbery, you can take inventory of the things you robbed and bring them back from Qipan Mountain."

Upon hearing this, the thin black man nodded repeatedly: "Okay, sir, I will go to Qipan Mountain to deliver the letter early tomorrow morning!"

"Well, let's go down!"

After Ren Anfu finished speaking, the thin, dark man quickly retreated.

At the same time, in the courtyard of the Liang Mansion, Liang Wanyi was sitting on the Taishi chair, gently rubbing his eyebrows. Behind him stood a concubine who was squeezing his shoulders.

"Dad, if Ren Anfu really gets a job as a guard envoy, then Jiangdu County and even the whole Jiangbei will become his family's property!"

"Our Liang family will always be trampled under his feet!"

Opposite me, Liang Zongyu was pacing back and forth in the room a little impatiently.

Liang Wanyi stopped rubbing his eyebrows, opened his eyes, and showed a calm look. At this time, he was not as drunk as before.

Liang Wanyi said slowly: "How did you know that Ren Anfu was working for the army commander?"

"Didn't the county magistrate say..."

"Is what the county magistrate said true?"

"Ah this..."

Liang Wanyi glanced at his son who was in a daze, shook his head and said, "What the county magistrate said is only one-sided. What if he drank too much and exaggerated."

"Moreover, after these days of observation, I have found that this person is just a piece of mud that cannot stand up to the wall. How can we believe everything that such a person says!"

After hearing his father's teachings, Liang Zongyu calmed down and said after a moment of silence: "What you said is not unreasonable."

"However, the county magistrate's words cannot be groundless."

"Besides, if Ren Anfu wants to swallow up all these big households in the county, it won't be a matter of a day or two."

"We also have to guard against it!"

Liang Wanyi nodded: "Yes, you have to be careful to be careful with his plan."

"Let's go out and find out if Ren Anfu is really raising money secretly."

"If it is confirmed to be true, it means the county magistrate is telling the truth."

"If it's false, then what the county magistrate said tonight is pure fart!"

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow!" Liang Zongyu agreed immediately.

At this time, Liang Wanyi moved his shoulders, and the concubine behind him understood, immediately stopped rubbing his hands, and then helped Liang Wanyi towards the bedroom.

"I'm tired, you should rest early!" Liang Wanyi said.

"Yes, Dad!"
