Chapter 199 Kill One, Roll One

The banquet was indeed ready.

Regardless of whether Chen Xian rescued Feng Qingluan or not, Feng Yuanqi had to treat the five of them to a banquet out of moral reason.

Chen Xian originally wanted to call his sister and father, but he planned to chat with Feng Yuanqi about other topics, so he arranged some wine and food for them.

Ten people were sitting in the room, but they hadn't started eating yet.

Feng Yuanqi winked at Feng Qingfeng, and Feng Qingfeng held a small box of gold ingots and placed it in front of Chen Xian, a hundred taels of gold.

Chen Xian and the other four looked at each other.

After a moment of hesitation, he took out a gold ingot from the box and pushed the others in front of Feng Qingfeng, saying, "This one will be used as our errand fee, and we can take back the others."

"useless……!"

"listen to me!"

Chen Xian held Feng Qingfeng's wrist and said, "This gold ingot plus this meal is enough. Let's talk about some business later."

Hearing this, Feng Qingfeng looked at Feng Yuanqi helplessly. Feng Yuanqi hesitated and nodded to his grandson. Only then did Feng Qingfeng put the small box away.

Wang Yan, who was already starving, grinned and said, "We can start eating now."

"General Wang, please start eating!"

Feng Yuanqi smiled, and then gave way to Chen Xian and the other three.

After a while, Feng Qingfeng poured wine for Chen Xian and the other four.

Chen Xian didn't drink either, and looked at Feng Yuanqi: "Before drinking, I want to ask what Mr. Feng thinks of Fengyun County?"

This question stumped Feng Yuanqi.

He glanced at Wang Yan and the other three and said with a smile, "Under the leadership of City Lord Cheng, Fengyun County is doing well."

Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly, "So, Mr. Feng is quite supportive of Cheng Guheng?"

Seeing Feng Yuanqi's expression change slightly and he hesitated to speak, he continued: "It doesn't matter, they are all my best brothers, just say whatever you want to say, don't worry about it leaking out."

Feng Yuanqi sighed and said, "Mr. Chen, I don't know much about you, but since you destroyed the Red Wolf Gang last night and rescued my granddaughter today, I will tell you the truth. However, this is only what I know."

Chen Xian nodded.

Feng Yuanqi said, "Cheng Guheng has been in Fengyun County for nine years. As a native of Fengyun County, you should know this. In the nine years since he came here, it can be said that he has done nothing. First, he did not destroy the Red Wolf Gang, but allowed it to grow and secretly harm the citizens. Second, he did not govern the county and towns. There are countless cases of bullies in the towns and villages oppressing the people. I will not list all the evil deeds one by one."

"Liu Sizheng of the Demon Suppression Department is also a bully who only does his job. He does not rectify the corruption and abuse of power by his subordinates, which has led to many unjust cases. In the end, they were all suppressed by force."

"City Guard Division Liao Huaiyuan, this person is a member of the Liao family."

"The Liao family has always been against my Feng family. I don't regard the Liao family as a personal grudge. The Liao family secretly colluded with the Red Wolf Gang and also did many things that were harmful to the world and against Cheng Guheng. Cheng Guheng has been forbearing, so many innocent people have been killed by the Liao family."

"Cheng Guheng suppressed it and prevented the incident from breaking out."

"Why don't you write a letter to expose him?" Chen Xian said in a deep voice.

Feng Yuanqi smiled weakly: "Mr. Chen, you may not know that Cheng Guheng has someone above him, and his official position is not low. It is useless to write a letter. I wrote three times and was blocked every time. Cheng Guheng even had people secretly suppress my Liao family."

"Shiling County?" Chen Xian asked.

"No, it's Fengtian City."

Feng Yuanqi shook his head: "The big man behind Cheng Guheng is a general in Fengtian City's military camp. It is said that the general is his brother-in-law. Not only is he very powerful, even the mayor of Fengtian City has to give him some respect."

"Military camp?" Chen Xian frowned slightly.

Fengyun County also has a military camp, but it is a very small camp with only a thousand people, which is not even as good as the City Guard.

The original owner was transferred from the small military camp in Fengyun County to Zhenyao Pass.

The Fengtian Realm’s main military camp is different. It gathers the elite soldiers of Fengtian Realm. Even if a general’s official position is not as high as that of the Fengtian City Lord, he is the one who truly holds the power of life and death.

"The City Lord's Mansion, the City Guards, the Chengxuan Department, the Demon Suppression Department, the Red Wolf Gang, and the Liao family, all seem peaceful, but in fact they are severely exploiting the citizens. When the City Lord does nothing, small officials become corrupt, and big officials become even more corrupt. They also commit murder for money, treating human life as worthless."

boom!
Wang Yan slammed his fist on the table, startling everyone. He said angrily, "This kind of city lord should be killed, from the top down. All corrupt officials and those who do nothing should be beheaded!"

Hearing this, Feng Yuanqi smiled bitterly: "Although Cheng Guheng is a seventh-rank official, his position is not high, but he is still the city lord appointed by the court. Unless you are a desperate criminal who has no scruples and assassinates Cheng Guheng, who dares to do it?"

"The only way is to petition for a new city lord to govern Fengyun County, but all the impeachment petitions were blocked. The bigwigs above can't see it. In fact, even if they see it, they may not deal with it. We can only wait..."

"What are you waiting for?" Qin Fei frowned.

Feng Yuanqi glanced at him and said, "Wait for Cheng Guheng to be transferred away."

Wang Yan snorted coldly: "If you don't transfer for thirty years, are you prepared to wait for thirty years?"

Feng Yuanqi smiled bitterly: "What else can we do?"

"What should we do? Kill him. Kill him tomorrow." Wang Yan had a bad temper. If he hadn't eaten yet, he would have picked up a knife and gone over right now.

Feng Yuanqi and the other four were stunned. They could see that General Wang was also a man who hated evil and had a generous personality.

Chen Xian said expressionlessly: "Master Feng, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

Feng Yuanqi said: "There is no evidence. In fact, many things do not require evidence, because people's eyes are sharp, and they dare not speak out even if they know."

"Mr. Chen, just wait and see. Tomorrow is the birthday of the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion. Those who go to curry favor with her will trample the doorstep of the City Lord's Mansion to pieces."

Chen Xian nodded secretly: "Will Mr. Feng go tomorrow?"

Feng Yuanqi waved his hand: "The gift must be sent, but I will not go back. There are some people and some things that I cannot stand. I'd better keep a good attitude and live two more years."

Hearing this, Chen Xian smiled and picked up the wine glass.

Feng Yuanqi also quickly picked up his glass and toasted Chen Xian and the other four.

The next day.

Fengyun County became bustling early in the morning because today was the birthday of the city lord's daughter.

Except for Liuquan Town, the mayors of other towns came to the county town with their sons.

Even officials, families and wealthy businessmen in the county prepared gifts.

in the room.

Wang Yan pounded the table angrily. "A dog official who does nothing knows how to hold a banquet and accept gifts. Don't stop me. I will kill him and turn his red banquet into a white banquet so that we can all eat together."

"Brother Wang, don't be impulsive!"

Xue Qishan and Luo Ying stopped him and said, "Xian Ge has his own arrangements, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I just feel uncomfortable watching him accepting gifts!" Wang Yan sat down angrily.

In another room, Chen Xian was having dinner with his sister Chen Rong and his father.

Chen Rong suddenly asked, "Brother, today is the birthday of the eldest daughter of the City Lord's Mansion. She has sent out an invitation. Have you prepared a gift?"

Chen Xian nodded: "Ready!"

Chen Rong looked curious: "Where is it?"

Chen Xian smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it, and you don't have to go. Just stay with Dad in the restaurant."

Upon hearing this, Chen Rong felt a little unhappy. She had been staying in the restaurant for the past two days since she came to Fengyun County. Yesterday afternoon, Sister Yujiao came to play with her, which helped her get rid of her boredom.

Today she finally had the chance to go to the City Lord's Mansion to broaden her horizons, but her brother wouldn't let her go, so how could she be happy?

"Brother, I want to go too. Can you take me with you?" Chen Rong shook Chen Xian's arm.

Chen Quan coughed twice and said, "Xiao Xian, since you are going, take your sister with you so that she can also broaden her horizons. Don't worry about Dad, Dad can take care of himself."

Chen Xian said, "Dad, I'm just going to give you a gift and leave. I won't stay here for long. My sister can't stay here if she follows me."

Chen Quan suddenly thought of something and said, "Xiao Rong, you'd better not go."

Chen Rong was very unhappy when he heard this.

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Be good, Xiaorong, stay in the restaurant and take care of daddy."

He was going to kill someone today, how could he bring his sister with him?

After breakfast.

Chen Xian went to the room where Wang Yan and his three companions lived. As soon as Chen Xian came in, Wang Yan yelled that he wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion and kill Cheng Guheng.

"It's still early."

Chen Xian said, "Go to the coffin shop and buy more coffins, about 100. Send 50 to the City Lord's Mansion, and the other 50 to the Liao family."

"Prepare the coffin?"

Wang Yan laughed and said, "What a good idea! Others give gifts, but we give coffins."

Xue Qishan said, "Brother Xian, why are you preparing a coffin? It's a waste of money. I think it's enough to prepare a mat. Kill one and roll one up."

Qin Fei and Luo Ying also nodded: "I think it's okay."

"Then prepare one hundred mats." Chen Xian's eyes flashed coldly.

"Good Le!"

Wang Yan quickly got up to buy a mat, and Luo Ying followed him.

...City Lord's Mansion.

Starting from the Si hour, people came in an endless stream to send gifts.

The old butler Yang Bainian, the chief guard Zhang Tong, Hu Dahu and others are taking care of the order in the city lord's mansion.

In one yard, gifts were piled up like a mountain.

Those with a little status were taken to a place to drink tea, while those of lower status sat in another courtyard to drink tea.

Among these people are Wang Ming, Li Mingfu, Yu Shenhai, Liu Shijie and others.

The city lord Cheng Guheng and his daughter Cheng Ying were accompanying Zhang Junqing and Yu Fenglin. Liu Bingfeng, Liao Huaiyuan, and the county magistrate of Chengxuansi were also there.

Soon, Liao Huaiyi arrived with the young people of the Liao family and were placed in the main hall.

From the Feng family, Feng Qingfeng brought his sister Feng Qingluan to present gifts, but no elders came.

A fierce look flashed in the eyes of City Lord Cheng Guheng.

In Fengyun County, the Liao family was targeting him secretly, while the Feng family was targeting him openly.

Today is his daughter's birthday, but Feng Yuanqi was reluctant to let his son come, and instead wanted a grandson to come. This was a slap in the face of him, the city lord, in public.

Cheng Guheng kept silent for the sake of saving his face.

Instead, Zhang Junqing narrowed his eyes and stared at Feng Qingfeng and said, "Humph, who are you two? Do you have the qualifications to sit in the main hall? Get out."

Hearing this, Feng Qingfeng and his sister, who were about to sit at the back, immediately looked unhappy.

Liao Huaiyi, Liu Bingfeng, Chengxuansi County Si and others from the Liao family stared at the two with a sneer, making the brother and sister even more embarrassed. They didn't know whether to leave or not.

"Lord City Lord, my Feng family has come here to celebrate your daughter's birthday. Don't you even have a seat?" Feng Qingfeng looked at Cheng Guheng while suppressing his anger.

Cheng Guheng said expressionlessly, "This Mr. Zhang is the guest of honor of the city lord. Those who can sit in the main hall are people of status. You two brothers and sisters are indeed not qualified to sit with him and drink tea."

Hearing this, Feng Qingfeng's eyes flashed coldly, and he turned around and prepared to leave with his sister.

"Wait!" Zhang Junqing stood up with a playful smile on his lips.

"What else does Mr. Zhang want to do?" Feng Qingfeng turned and stared at Zhang Junqing.

"Let your sister come and accompany me. I will allow you to sit in the back seat." Zhang Junqing said sinisterly while shaking his fan.

Hearing this, Feng Qingfeng clenched his fists and glared at Zhang Junqing fiercely, "My brother and I can't afford the tea in the City Lord's Mansion. Goodbye!"

"Stop, did I let you go?"

Zhang Junqing's eyes flashed coldly, and his figure appeared at the door. He stretched out his hand and blocked Feng Qingfeng's way with a paper fan:
"Today is the birthday of Miss Cheng of the City Lord's Mansion. All the guests were respectful and polite, but you and your sister slapped Lady Cheng in the face in public. Lady Cheng is the father and mother of Fengyun County, so he can tolerate this, but I can't."

Feng Qingfeng finally understood that this person just wanted to find out about his Feng family.

"What do you want?" he said angrily.

"If you kowtow and admit your mistakes in public to Lord Cheng and Miss Cheng, I will let bygones be bygones." Zhang Junqing waved his fan, sounding aggressive.

Hearing him kneeling down in public to apologize to the City Lord and Cheng Ying, Feng Qingfeng was extremely angry.

If Cheng Guheng was a good official who did practical things for the people, there would be nothing wrong with his brother and sister kneeling down to apologize.

But Cheng Guheng is a shitty official.

His brother and sister had no choice but to come and give gifts, in order to prevent the City Lord's Mansion from targeting his Feng family in the future.

Who would have thought that Mr. Zhang would be so aggressive? It's really outrageous.

"Mr. Zhang, you are framing me." Feng Qingfeng retorted angrily.

"So, you are unwilling to kneel down and apologize to the city lord and Miss Cheng?" Zhang Junqing's eyes flashed with a cold look, "I will give you three breaths to think about it. If you still don't do it, don't blame me for breaking your legs."

"You, you are really going too far!"

Feng Qingfeng's face was filled with anger. He could tell that this Young Master Zhang was no ordinary person. Judging from his movement speed just now, he was more powerful than he and his sister.

same moment.

Outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, five people came on horseback. The leader was a young man in blue clothes, and it was Chen Xian.

Behind Chen Xian were Wang Yan and his four companions, wearing silver armor and looking mighty and majestic.

Before reaching the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Xian spotted a carriage.

Cai Jinghong got off the carriage, followed by brother and sister Cai Lin and Cai Yujiao.

"Dad, the City Lord's Mansion hasn't sent us an invitation, can we go in?" Cai Lin asked nervously.

The City Lord's Mansion is very lively today. The people who come here are all well-known people in the county and town.

Although Cai Jinghong did not receive an invitation, he also wanted to join in the fun and get to know some upper-class people, which would be of great help to his business.

Even if you just sit in the city lord's mansion and drink a cup of tea, you can still brag about it in the business world in the future.

Cai Yujiao also said nervously: "Yes, Daddy, if the people in the City Lord's Mansion don't let us in, it will be so embarrassing!"

Cai Jinghong had thought about this, but he had to come even if it was embarrassing. "We are here to send blessings and gifts to Miss Cheng. The people in the City Lord's Mansion should not refuse us..."

"Brother-in-law?"

As he was speaking, he heard Cai Lin beside him shout with wide eyes: "Dad, look who's here!"

Cai Jinghong frowned and looked towards the distance, only to see five people riding horses towards him. The young man in blue at the head had an extraordinary demeanor and, at first glance, was a rare talent.

After seeing the boy's face clearly, Cai Jinghong couldn't help but snorted coldly: "What is he doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to give you a gift!" Cai Lin said as he ran towards Chen Xian.

Cai Jinghong's face was solemn. Chen Xian was guilty of a heinous crime. How could the City Lord's Mansion let him in when he came to give gifts?

"What a joke!" He snorted in his heart.

Look at the bearded young man behind Chen Xian. Although he is wearing silver armor and looks mighty, why is he holding a mat under his armpit?
Could it be that the mat is a gift?

"Brother-in-law, you're here too!"

"Brother Chen Xian!"

Cai Linchong was in front and Cai Yujiao was behind, and they both greeted Chen Xian.

Chen Xian's eyes flickered: "Why are you here?"

Cai Lin grinned and said, "My father also wants to give Miss Cheng a gift and get to know some upper-class people."

Chen Xian frowned: "What's there to get to know?"

Hearing this, Cai Jinghong was furious: "There's nothing to get to know, what are you doing here?"

"Let's kill...!"

Wang Yan spoke too quickly and as soon as he opened his mouth Chen Xian looked at him and he couldn't help but curse.

Chen Xian looked at Cai Lin and Cai Yujiao and said, "This is not a good place for you to come. Go back quickly."

Cai Yujiao didn't want to come at first, but now that she saw Chen Xian coming, she didn't want to leave anymore, "Brother Chen Xian, I'll go with you to the City Lord's Mansion to see what's going on."

What the hell do you want to see? We are here to kill people!

Chen Xian said speechlessly: "Listen to me and go back quickly."

Cai Lin said: "Brother-in-law, you can't do this. I have never seen such a scene before. You must let us go in and see it for ourselves!"

Cai Jinghong said angrily: "He took you in, ask him if he can go in?"

Wang Ming said that Chen Xian was guilty of heinous crimes and the City Lord's Mansion and the Demon Suppression Bureau were trying to capture him, but he dared to fall into their trap. Isn't this courting death?
"Dad, don't listen to what Wang Ming says. He himself is not trustworthy."

Cai Lin curled his lips in disdain. He knew Wang Ming. They lived in the same town. Last time, he lost money in Liao's gambling house. Wang Ming said a lot of bullshit to curry favor with Liao Feiyu.

Although he is also a playboy, he really looks down on people like Wang Ming.

"I believe in my brother-in-law!" he chuckled.

After all, it is true that Chen Xian is capable, and he also rescued his sister from the Red Wolf Gang. That is the Red Wolf Gang.

"Dad, I also believe in Brother Chen Xian." Cai Yujiao said.

Seeing his son and daughter's elbows bent outward, Cai Jinghong really wanted to beat them up, "Okay, okay, I'll see how he gets in."

Chen Xian glanced at Cai Jinghong and said nothing. He rode his horse towards the City Lord's Mansion.

When Cai Lin saw this, he quickly pulled his sister Cai Yujiao to follow.

In the past, he didn't really approve of his sister being with Chen Xian, but when he saw Chen Xian this time, he found that Chen Xian was different from before. First of all, he was strong, and secondly, he seemed to be very rich.

He casually took out two gold ingots. Is he an ordinary person?

I have to tie my sister and Chen Xian together.

If Chen Xian becomes successful one day, he will also be able to benefit from it.

At the city gate.

Chen Xian and his four companions dismounted from their horses. When Hu Dahu at the door saw that it was Chen Xian who came, his face looked a little ugly.
