Chapter 2073 Seduction
Of course, all of this is based on the fact that he is just an ordinary civil servant, but he himself has extraordinary cultivation. As long as he wants to, not to mention Su Bingwen, even Xu Xing can be controlled by him.
But it also shows that the guarding general Xu Xing is a very scheming person.
After a while, the carriage arrived at an inn.
They asked for three upper rooms, one for their husband and wife, one for Gen Bo, and one for Xiao Yu'er and Li Xin'er, the saint of the Black Sky Demon Sect. After seeing Song Yan's extraordinary ability, Li Xin'er had no idea of escaping.
She even suspected that even if the leader arrived, he might not be a match for Song Yan. He was less than fourteen years old, and not only had he become a fifth-level magistrate, but he also had such strong martial arts cultivation, he was simply a pervert.
That night.
Liangzhou Military Town, inside the general's camp.
As the guarding general, Xu Xing was at the top of the table. On the left and right sides were his generals. In the center of the camp, a group of women were dancing.
At this moment, someone came to report that Liu Wen was back.
Xu Xing waved his hand, and the dancers exited the camp. Xu Xing was already in his early forties and had been the guard general for eight years. He was relatively strong, with bronze-colored skin, and his body was full of radiance. A majestic aura.
"Let Liu Wen come in!"
Xu Xing shouted, his voice was quite deep.
After a while, Liu Wen entered the camp and knelt down towards Xu Xing: "Sir, this villain messed up the matter. That Song Yan did not accept the house deed!"
"Huh! You're so ungrateful!"
A young general sneered.
"That's right, a child with a yellow mouth actually dares to refuse the general's kindness!" Another general immediately agreed.
"alright!"
Xu Xing shouted low and stopped the chaotic scene: "After all, Song Ziyu is the disciple of Cai Shilang. We have to give this face to Cai Shilang. There is no need to discuss this matter again. Liu Wen, you understand that if you go to Fucheng again, Just say that I will treat him to dinner at Hongyan Tower!"
"Yes!" Liu Wen said.
"You've worked hard too, go down and pick a dancer and go back to warm the bed!" Xu Xing waved his hand.
Hearing this, Liu Wen was overjoyed, while other generals showed envy on their faces.
"You bastards, pick one of them to take away too!"
Xu Xing smiled and cursed as if he had read through the thoughts of these generals.
"Thank you for your help, sir!"
The generals quickly thanked him.
Women were not allowed to be raised in the military camp. However, Liangzhou was located on the frontier, and Xu Xing had been operating here for many years. The entire military camp had long been under the control of his management. Even if he raised a woman, no one would dare to say anything.
As for Su Bingwen, he didn't take it to heart at all, he was just a nerd.
A night of silence.
The next day.
Before Song Yan took the initiative to find the house, the wife of Yaxing took the initiative to come to the inn to meet him.
The person who came was called Yu Po, and she was a clerk at the largest dental shop in Liangzhou Prefecture.
In addition to renting and selling houses, Yahang also bought and sold people, including maids, servants, and slaves.
It is worth mentioning that the buying and selling of human beings is legal in Weiguo, and once purchased, the owner has the power of life and death over them. Even if they are beaten to death, the government will not interfere.
After looking at several houses, Song Yan and Cai Xueji both settled on a house in the east of the city.
But when I asked about the price, it was only one hundred taels of silver.
Although this is a frontier fortress, such a big house only sells for one hundred taels, which is too low. Judging from the prices in Liangzhou, such a big house costs at least five hundred taels.
What's even more incredible is that after buying the house, four maids and four servants were given as gifts.
"Who is your boss?"
Song Yan stared at Po Yu with squinted eyes.
"Don't dare to hide it from your lord, the owner of our dental shop is General Xu!" Yu Po said quickly.
"hehe!"
Song Yan couldn't help but laugh. This Xu Xing was really evil. She just refused his offer of a room last night, and she played such a trick on him today.
"Based on normal prices, how much does this house cost?"
Song Yan asked again.
"Five hundred and sixty taels!" Yu Po said.
"Add four maids and four servants, I'll pay you six hundred taels, take the contract!"
"Sir, spare your life!"
Suddenly, Po Yu knelt down and begged: "The little woman was warned before she came here. This house can only be lower than one hundred taels of silver. If it is one tael higher, the little woman will be punished." Punishment, please sympathize with the little woman!"
"Junior brother."
Cai Xueji pulled Song Yan's sleeve.
Song Yan signaled to Cai Xueji not to worry, and then said to Po Yu: "Let's go and call the person who can take charge!"
"Thank you, sir. The little lady will go now!"
"Uncle, that Xu Xing is really annoying. He is trying to please you in different ways!" Xiao Yu'er said with some ambiguity.
Song Yan smiled and said nothing.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, a skinny man wearing a brocade robe but with a deer head and rat eyes arrived.
"The little man Liang Yu has met Lord Zhizhou!"
The visitor saluted Song Yan respectfully, saying that he could arrive so quickly and seemed to be waiting nearby.
"Who are you from General Xu?"
Song Yan asked.
"Sir, General Xu is the villain's brother-in-law!"
"In that case, get up and answer the question!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"I plan to buy this house, but I need to buy it at the original price!" Song Yan looked at Liang Yu and said.
"You can do whatever you say, this is a contract!"
While talking, Liang Yu took out a prepared contract. Song Yan took it and saw that it was still priced at one hundred taels of silver, so he returned the contract to the other party: "Change it to six hundred taels!"
But Liang Yu pretended to be stupid and said: "Sir, this house is obviously only worth one hundred taels, why should it be changed to six hundred taels!"
"Stop giving this officer a bad look and change it quickly!"
However, Liang Yu said without fear: "Sir, my brother-in-law set the price. Even a small person can't make the decision. How about you give my brother-in-law some face?"
"In this case, I won't buy this house, let's go!"
Song Yan waved his hand and prepared to leave.
"Sir, please be slow!" Liang Yu stopped Song Yan and said: "Sir, all the vacant houses in Liangzhou City either belong to our Yahang or are listed for sale in our Yahang. Just leave. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy a suitable house."
"Are you threatening me?" Song Yan turned to look at him.
"How dare a villain threaten an adult!"
Liang Yupi said with a dead smile, but there was a bit of disdain in his expression. He thought to himself, this guy really doesn't know what is good and what is good, and he doesn't know why his brother-in-law is trying to please him.
"let's go!"
Song Yan withdrew his eyes and left with Cai Xueji and others.
"Sir, such a villain, do you want this little girl to teach him a lesson?" Li Xin'er wondered.
"Need not!"
Song Yan waved his hands, but he showed a thoughtful look. Xu Xing was completely determined not to give up until he was dragged into the water. It seemed that there was something fishy in Liangzhou City.
"Junior brother, do we still want to buy a house?"
Cai Xueji asked.
"No, let's rent a courtyard in the inn to stay!"
Song Yan said.
However, as soon as they returned to the inn, they saw Liu Wen, who had come to deliver the house deed yesterday, come again.
"The villain Liu Wen has met the adults!"
"What are you doing here?" Song Yan looked at him and asked.
"Back to my lord, I have been ordered by the general to invite you to the Hongyan Tower for a banquet tonight!" Liu Wendao.
"Hongyan Tower, right? I'll go there on time tonight!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Liu Wen didn't bother him this time. After seeing Song Yan agree, he left directly.
That night.
Song Yan came to Hongyan Tower alone.
Hongyan Tower can be said to be the largest restaurant in Liangzhou City. However, tonight the restaurant was booked, and there were soldiers in armor waiting outside the inn.
Xu Xing, on the other hand, was waiting at the door with a group of military generals. When he saw Song Yan, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"I have long heard that Mr. Song has an extraordinary appearance. When I saw him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
Xu Xing laughed and said, looking very enthusiastic.
"Thank you, General Xu." Just as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, Song Yan responded with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone entered the restaurant.
The lobby had been cleared, except for two dining tables.
"Master Song, please come this way!"
"General Xu, you are a superior, please invite me!" Song Yan said modestly.
After a while, Song Yan and Xu Xing sat down at a table, accompanied by two generals. One was Xu Xing's deputy general named Wu Jingwei, who had an official position of sixth rank, and the other was a captain of thousands whom Xu Xing valued, who was also from the army. The sixth-grade official was said to be very brave and highly valued by Xu Xing.
Soon, the food and wine were served.
At this time, four beautiful women walked out, two serving Song Yan and two serving Xu Xing.
"Master Song, I will give you a toast!"
Xu Xing raised his glass.
"General Xu please!"
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became lively. Xu Xing clapped his hands again, and a group of women wearing tulle with looming bodies arrived and started dancing amidst the sound of silk and bamboo.
Their dancing can only be called skilled, but not graceful, but in the border land, it is quite good to have such dancers.
"Come on, Mr. Song, let's continue drinking!"
Xu Xing raised his glass again.
Next, not only Xu Xing frequently toasted to Song Yan, but also the generals under his command also made moves, showing that they would not stop until he got him drunk.
In this regard, Song Yan was not afraid at all and would do whatever came.
After drinking hundreds of thousands of drinks, he didn't feel drunk at all.
This made Xu Xing, who wanted to get him drunk and make a fool of himself, very dissatisfied. He winked at his subordinates. For a moment, the generals toasted more frequently.
After being toasted twice more, Song Yan began to take the initiative to toast.
Go for a few rounds.
Even Xu Xing was forced to lie down by him.
Then, he stood up and left the restaurant, ignoring the surprised looks of the dancers.
The next day.
Song Yan came to the government office to report.
Su Bingwen met him in person, but his face was quite happy: "Ziyu, I heard that you drank Xu Xing and those rough guys to death last night?"
"How do you know, sir?"
Song Yan pretended to be surprised.
"Haha." Su Bingwen laughed: "Your massive reputation has spread throughout the city. I think when I first came to take office, I was drunk by those big guys and almost made a fool of myself. You can help me this time. Take revenge!"
Hearing this, Song Yan couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. No wonder Su Bingwen was so happy. It turned out that he had avenged him by some mistake.
