Chapter 88: Sugar-coated Cannonballs

"What's going on? Why did the army come so quickly? Is it because I, Xu Qian, have such a great reputation that Brother Deng took my name to report to the army? The local military and political officials didn't dare to neglect me, so they came here to protect me?"

Xu Qian was really stunned when he saw this battle.

As for those scoundrels, their faces suddenly turned pale. They were just teasing decent women in the street and extorting some money for drinks. They never expected to be big thieves or rebels. But looking at the momentum of these countless officers and soldiers,

It's a bit like treating them like a gangster.

The leader, a man who looked like a general, was wearing a suit of iron armor. He spurred his war horse and flew towards him like a whirlwind with a spear in his hand. This man was quite young and had a very cold face. The Pegasus arrived in front of Xu Qian, raised his spear horizontally, and roared:

"Everyone else, please get out of the way!"

Xu Qian couldn't help but was speechless. Damn it, it turns out that he didn't recruit these officers and soldiers by himself. He was just a bunch of people waiting for him.

The gangsters were so frightened by the momentum that they lost all their energy and even lost the strength to stand. Many of them collapsed directly to the ground. Reality once again proved that most of the 'heroes' who bully women and scholars are weaklings.

Countless officers and soldiers rushed up and tied up these rogues one by one. The general dismounted and walked to the carriage and whispered a few words to the owner of the carriage. Then he shouted: "Hurry and protect the nobles and leave. As for these idlers in the market,

For the time being, he will be taken to the punishment yamen."

Immediately, surrounded by countless people, the carriage slowly started to move.

Xu Qian was bored, looking at the long snake-like team, he couldn't help but wonder, the lady in this carriage must be the wife of some family, and the man in her family should be at least a third-rank official or above.

"If I marry a wife in the future, my wife should also be as rich as this." Xu Qian secretly swore in his heart.

Deng Jian had not come back yet, and Xu Qian was annoyed and unwilling to wait. He must have come to meet him after receiving the news, so he got into the carriage and went home first.

When he arrived at the door of his house, he found that the head of the prince's palace had been waiting here for a long time. Xu Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "Normally when the prince sends a message, he usually just calls a disciple or a bodyguard like Deng Jian. What happened this time?

So that the prince actually sent this chief to invite someone?"

He got out of the car, and the boss rushed up quickly. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Qian said: "You don't need to say anything, it must be the prince who invited you here, right?"

The boss nodded.

Xu Qian added: "Needless to say, something must have happened. Do you want to invite me to your house to discuss it?"

The host said: "Exactly."

Xu Qian said: "Then why are you still standing there? Let's go now."

He first let Zhao Mengting get out of the car and asked her to wait at home. He got in the car with his boss and told the driver: "Go faster." Then he rolled his eyes and said to the boss: "Hey... the world is difficult, and now we are hiring

A car costs more than 70 yuan, and 70 yuan can buy ten pounds of pork, and you can also grow some muscle after eating it."

The boss gritted his teeth and said: "Easy to say, easy to say, I paid the fare on behalf of the prince."

Xu Qian said sternly: "How can you be so embarrassed? Who do you think I am? It's just ten pounds of pork, and I can't even bear to part with it? You underestimate me too much. Come on, since you are kind, I accept your kindness."

, you and I are old acquaintances, that’s why I asked you to pay for the pig for me... ah no, the car payment was for someone else who has nothing to do with it... hehe."

The boss scolded him in his heart: "You are a shameful scholar, you are a bitch and you still build a memorial arch." He became serious and said to Xu Qian: "This time it is not Eunuch Wang who wants to see you, but Eunuch Huang who wants to see you."

"Eunuch Huang?" Xu Qian was full of doubts.

The principal said: "Anyway, after you go, please respond properly. Eunuch Huang's identity is extraordinary, you just need to be more careful." The principal lowered his voice and added: "He is from the palace."

Xu Qian said: "Aren't all eunuchs coming from the palace?" He suddenly made a mistake and seemed to be cursing the prince in a roundabout way, but the principal pretended not to hear anything and deliberately turned his face away.

When he arrived at the palace of the prince, Xu Qian went directly into the flower hall without saying anything. In the flower hall, the always aloof prince didn't even have a place to sit. He just stood with his body hunched over.

The person sitting on the main seat was not as scary as Xu Qian imagined. He had fair skin and was only in his thirties. A spring-like smile hung on his face, as if he was trying to revive everything.

Seeing Xu Qian come in, he stood up. The bloated red robe on his body made him look a little ridiculous. He almost took a few steps and walked to Xu Qian. After looking at Xu Qian, he patted Xu Qian's shoulder.

He went up and said with a smile: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. Our family has wanted to see you for a long time. It is said that you recently won three yuan in a row. It's good, very good. You are so successful at a young age. You are really envious of others."

He didn't wait for Xu Qian to speak, and then he chuckled and said: "Our family's name is Huang Jin, your name is Xu Qian, right? Xu Qian, Xu Qian, what a good name. Your father's name is Xu Chang, and Xuchang's name is also good.

It's a pity that your mother, Mrs. Sun, died young."

Xu Qian was confused and said to himself that my parents have nothing to do with you.

Huang Jin frowned slightly and continued to say with a smile: "This time you fixed the man named Liu, which really solved a problem for our family. The man named Liu was too bad, and there were too many people in the palace who disliked him.

"

Xu Qian thought to himself: "It must be because you don't like him."

Huang Jindao: "It's really presumptuous to invite you here this time. Our dove occupies the magpie's nest. This time we will simply be the master here and do our best to be a landlord. Come, sit down with Xianggong Xu and pour tea."

The prince leaned forward and said to Huang Jin: "There is no need to trouble others, just go and do it."

The usually arrogant prince and his father-in-law were not only extremely flattering to Huang Jin, but also showed a deep fear. However, Huang Jin's behavior was full of generosity and cheerfulness.

Xu Qian couldn't figure out the other party's details for a while, so he reluctantly sat down and said thank you.

Huang Jin said again: "I invite you here this time because I want to trouble you with something. I wonder if Mr. Xu is willing to do it?"

Xu Qian said: "If my father-in-law has anything to do, the student will do his best."

Huang Jin sighed: "Our family was favored by the emperor and ordered to clean up the East Factory. As you know, this East Factory was full of evil during the late emperor's reign and did many unscrupulous things. The emperor intended to clean up, but our family is actually new to the capital. In the

After staying in Anlu for more than ten years, he suddenly arrived in the capital. He couldn't even stand on his feet, but he couldn't do it without help. Our family has always heard that your father is a capable official. Because he changed his nationality, he lives at home. Such a talent is here to stay.

Wouldn't it be a pity to be at home? We are just eunuchs, so naturally we don't dare to follow Liu Shijun's three visits to the thatched cottage, but we also have a love for talents and ask your Majesty to come out of the mountain and go to Dongchang for business."

Xu Qian was so shocked that he couldn't speak. This wasn't asking for help. It was simply a gift to the Xu family. He was only in his forties and in his prime. Staying at home every day was really not an option. He used to be just a mean person.

Officer, someone actually invited him to go to Dongchang.

What is Dongchang? Dongchang is a proper royal violence agency, specializing in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction. I dare not say that in the capital, at least at the local level, one errand is enough to scare many sixth- and seventh-grade officials.

If you dare to say this, it would have been even more majestic in the days of Zhengde. Although it is not as good as before now, it can still be regarded as a lucrative position that countless people dream of.

A big deal, definitely a big deal. The first time he made a move, he found a good vacancy, and he still catered to the person he wanted. He pretended to be begging when he was giving favors to others. He gave enough face and foundation that Xu Qian couldn't help but feel moved.

This chubby eunuch suddenly became closer in his heart. The eunuch is good. The eunuch is much better than the sour scholar. This is what people call true righteousness.

Xu Qian was about to tweak a few words, but Huang Jin put on a straight face and waved his hands: "You don't have to refuse. We are always straightforward and never play tricks with others. Not to mention, we and you are still our own family."

, Our family is an eunuch and you are a scholar. Logically speaking, we should be incompatible with each other. However, our family just likes to deal with you and your father. If you say any polite words or refuse, you will not give our family face.

You must help me with this."

As soon as the words came to this point, Xu Qian was immediately knocked to the ground by Huang Jin's sugar-coated cannonball. He refused to get up again and said with a smile: "Then the student will be disrespectful on behalf of his father."
