Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 464: Asking for Bribes

Lin Feng was not surprised that Liu Shuxue was well-informed. Everyone knew that he was going into the city today.

"Tell your lady that I have some things to take care of. I'll see her another day."

"Well, is it about the three great families?"

"You know this too?"

"It's been rumored recently that the three great families are going against the general. I wonder who will come out on top."

Lin Feng nodded.

"Xiaoju, who do you think is more powerful?"

"Of course the general is powerful. In the blink of an eye, the three great families were wiped out."

"If it's so clear, why would the three great families still oppose me?"

Xiaoju pouted and thought for a moment.

"The young lady said that the general might be concerned about their background and not want to make too many enemies."

Lin Feng smiled. He knew all the tricks here very well. How to break the deadlock?

"Did your young lady say what to do?"

Xiaoju smiled slyly: "General, you should ask the young lady in person."

"Okay, I'll ask her someday."

Xiaoju nodded, turned around and walked silently towards the window. In just a moment, he disappeared in the room.

Lin Feng admired him again, saying that he was so capable at such a young age and must have suffered a lot.

The sound of a night watchman's drum was heard outside, it was almost midnight.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Someone come here."

Zhao Shuo rushed in from outside, looking confused.

"Brother, is something wrong?"

Lin Feng was surprised: "Hey, you didn't sleep?"

Zhao Shuo smiled and said, "We have just entered the city, and the situation is a bit complicated. I am worried about big brother's safety."

Lin Feng nodded: "Well, this is what a captain of the guards should look like."

"Hey, big brother, what are you doing calling people so late at night?"

"Take seven or eight men, harness two carriages, and go out with me."

Zhao Shuo nodded and called the guards.

Lin Feng brought eight guards, Zhao Shuo and Wen Jian with him, and found a minor official who was familiar with the roads in the city, and they left the government office together.

A dozen people and two carriages made many turns in the city and arrived in front of a tall gate tower.

The clerk went forward and knocked on the door.

The copper door knocker made a crisp sound in the middle of the night.

After a while, a small door on the side of the main gate creaked open, and a head popped out.

"Who is it? What are you doing?"

The man's tone was very impatient.

The clerk stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Tell your master that Earl Zhongyuan is visiting and to open the door immediately to welcome him."

The servant, half-drowsy, stretched his head to look at the group of people standing in the dark shadows.

"Do you know whose house this is? Don't get into trouble by mistake."

The clerk frowned and said, "Is your master's money expensive? If you don't report it now, you'll get hurt."

Hearing his serious tone, the servant quickly retreated and closed the small door.

Half a quarter of an hour later, hurried footsteps were heard in the yard.

The next moment, the two doors were opened, and the chubby Qian Duogui stood on the threshold, looking at the people outside with confusion.

"Alas, it is indeed the Earl who has arrived. I am sorry for not coming to greet you. Please forgive me."

Qian Duogui bowed and stepped aside the gate.

"Please, please come in. I am terrified that the Earl has come to visit me personally."

Lin Feng didn't say anything and walked into the Qian family's gate.

Two people were lying on the roof of a house opposite the Qian family mansion, observing the situation at the Qian family's gatehouse through the gaps in the leaves above.

After about a quarter of an hour, many people came out of the gatehouse, carrying several boxes and putting them on the carriage.

Qian Duogui personally escorted them to the door and saw Lin Feng and others off.

Then, Qian Duogui glanced around and turned back to the house.

Of the two people lying on the roof, one continued to lie there, while the other stood up and slid down the roof gently, disappearing into the night.

At the Wang family, the head of the family, Wang Yusheng, was gently shaken awake. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was his personal maid who was serving him.

When the maid saw him open his eyes, she put her mouth close to Wang Yusheng's ear.

He whispered, "Master, Lin Fengzi went to Qian Duogui's house at the same time. Two carriages took away four boxes."

Wang Yusheng suddenly lost his sleepiness and signaled the maid to help him sit up.

Two gloomy eyes stared at the dark bed curtains.

Don't think that Wang Yusheng is as steady as a rock in front of the Qian family and the Ji family.

In fact, he was very nervous. Everyone knew Lin Feng's methods, and the Qingshui Army was not ordinary strong.

If Lin Feng were to recklessly push forward, he would definitely not be able to resist.

He has used all his connections to try to protect his family business in the capital.

No matter what, this family business has been passed down from our ancestors for hundreds of years, and we cannot let it fail in our own hands.

Does the money mean you have to act alone?

He gave up his alliance just to save his own family business?

What treasure did Qian Duogui give to Lin Feng?

Or, what kind of promise did Lin Feng make to Qian Duogui?

All kinds of question marks were running through Wang Yusheng's mind.

He has always been as steady as an old dog, but he has never been so frightened when facing the Black Scarf Army.

Qian Duogui finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Lin Feng off.

According to his plan, he delivered several boxes of treasures he had prepared to Lin Feng.

He didn't expect it to be so smooth, and Lin Feng was so greedy for money.

He couldn't even wait a whole day and came to ask for it in the middle of the night.

Although no promises were made, all the treasures were taken, so I think my family business has been saved.

Qian Duogui could no longer sleep, so he sat on a chair, asked the servants to make him some tea, and slowly recalled what had just happened.

Suddenly, he shuddered all over and thought to himself that something was wrong.

I’m afraid that Wang Yusheng and Ji Chonglian won’t be able to hide Lin Feng’s visit.

The three of them have agreed to invite Lin Feng to their home tomorrow night and offer him treasures and beauties together.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng came to his house in the middle of the night and he was forced to give the treasure away first.

How to explain this?

At the same time, Ji Zhonglian also received information that Lin Feng came to his house in the middle of the night and took away several expensive boxes.

Ji Zhonglian was straightforward and had a hot temper, so he got angry at that time.

He raised his hand and smashed a teapot in front of the bed to the ground.

"How dare you, Fatty Qian, make a deal without telling me. Lin Feng is not someone you can mess with, but am I really that easy to bully?"

Unable to suppress his anger, he stood up, asked his maid to dress, took a few servants with him, and went straight to the Wang family.

It just so happened that Wang Yusheng couldn't sleep and was thinking about the key.

Upon hearing that Ji Zhonglian was visiting, he quickly asked someone to invite him into the study.

"Brother, have you heard that Fatty Qian made a deal with Lin Feng in private? I'm afraid he has betrayed us brothers."

Wang Yusheng waved his hand, signaling him to stay calm.

"Reconnect, calm down, and let's analyze this first."

"Dude, what's the point of analyzing this? Fatty Qian is just a fence-sitter, a ruthless person with a dark heart."

Wang Yusheng smiled bitterly: "Zhonglian, how do you know how much money Lin Feng agreed to pay?"

Ji Zhonglian stared with his eyes wide open.

"I've already taken the money. I've never heard of anyone taking the money and not doing the job."

"Since Lin Feng is so greedy for money, we should give him some as well. Give him more to protect his family property in the capital first, and then we can talk to Qian Duogui later."
