Da'an's best son-in-law

"Young man, I do have something to ask for. I hope Mr. Li will agree," Ye Chen said respectfully.

After suppressing the smile on his face, Li Zheng's expression became serious and he said in a deep voice: "Don't talk so much now. What's the matter? Let's talk about it."

The family fights in Jizhou have been particularly fierce recently. The Chen family's actions are getting bigger and bigger, and they are pressing harder and harder. Li Zheng may not be able to do what the Wei family asks him to do...

Ye Chen did not hesitate and went straight to the point, "Master Li, a batch of silk from the Wei family will be transported from southern Xinjiang to Jizhou recently. We have received news that someone colluded with Mo Feng to take advantage of this batch of silk from the Wei family."

"Mo Feng?" Li Zheng looked startled and said

"Is that the notorious bandit in Jinan area?"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, "Exactly."

Li Zheng lowered his eyes slightly and tapped the rim of the cup gently, seeming to be deep in thought, and did not respond to Ye Chen.

That's Mo Feng...

Ten years ago, when Li Zheng took office in Jizhou, he almost met Mo Feng halfway.

At that time, Li Zheng was the prefect of Jinan Prefecture personally sent to the Jizhou area. The guards who escorted him to take office included fifty people, all of whom were elite soldiers in the prefecture.

That day, the caravan in front of them was bloodbathed by Mo Feng's gang. When Li Mu led his guards to the place where the incident occurred, only a few piles of corpses were left in the caravan of No. [-].

The trail in the mountain was completely stained with blood, and they had to walk through the blood-soaked land.

Li Mu has really seen Mo Feng's ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness...

Caressing his beard, Li Zheng coughed twice and frowned: "This matter is a bit difficult to handle. It's not that I won't help you, but the bandits led by Mo Feng are too brutal and difficult to deal with."

Is this something you don’t want to do?

Feeling Li Zhengyan's rejection, Ye Chen said softly: "I think your Excellency is wise and mighty, with extraordinary bearing and extraordinary ability. Jizhou can have such a prosperous situation without your hard work."

Although Ye Chen felt a little tormented when he said such unscrupulous words, he must be flattered today.

Forget it, if lightning strikes, just strike, at least wait until I finish the matter...

Sure enough, Li Zheng seemed to be very impressed by Ye Chen's appropriate praise and stroked his beard quite proudly.

In the entire Jinan and even Jiangnan regions, Jizhou is one of the most prosperous, and it is probably no less prosperous than Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The conversation changed and Ye Chen said again

"Since your lord is so powerful, why should you be afraid of a small bandit? I have thousands of officers and soldiers and tens of thousands of men in Jizhou. It is not easy to annihilate a group of small bandits. In my opinion, your lord is still too kind."

Not to mention Jizhou, even in the whole Jinan, no one can do anything against Mo Feng. If Li Zheng can wipe out Mo Feng and this group of bandits, I am afraid that now he will not only be the prefect of Jizhou...

Having said that, Li Zheng still has to continue this face.

"Haha, of course, of course, I am busy with official duties and have indeed neglected these gangsters." Li Zheng said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"Besides, there are only twenty servants of the Wei family escorting the silk this time. Even if Mo Feng wanted to, he would definitely not send out a large number of troops to intercept the beards. Mr. Li only needs to send dozens of strong officers and soldiers, and the Wei family will be satisfied."

Ye Chen stared closely at Li Zhengdao opposite him.

In several words, there was no mention of the Wei family's favor.

Ye Chen understood that favors were indeed valuable, but they had to be done consciously. If he raised it himself, not only would the favor lose its meaning, but it would also arouse Li Zheng's resentment.

Thinking of Ye Chen's words, Li Zheng, who originally wanted to refuse, was a little shaken at this moment.

The Wei family has given him a lot of care and benefits over the years. Now that the Wei family is in trouble, if Li Zheng doesn't help, it will be unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally.

Moreover, Ye Chen's words also reminded him that Mo Feng was cautious and would never send out a large number of people to empty the base camp as he was escorting a batch of silk with [-] people.

The four major families in Jizhou City have many eyes and ears. If he mobilizes troops, the Chen family...

Difficult to handle, this matter is still difficult to handle.

"Master Magistrate, are you still feeling embarrassed?" Ye Chen said in a deep voice.

Li Zheng looked a little embarrassed and said: "Nephew Ye's words are quite reasonable, but the issue of troop deployment is indeed a bit..."

"I won't bother you, Mr. Li. Since it's difficult to do, let's not do it."

"Anan, bring the wine, let's go!"

Li Zheng's repeated attitude completely exhausted Ye Chen's patience. The more he pretended to beg for help, the more he would be manipulated.

It’s difficult to handle, so don’t do it!

As for whether such words will offend the former...

Ye Chen also brewed wine and gave it away, said some sincere words, and analyzed the situation thoroughly, but Li Zheng still didn't buy it.

This batch of silk could not be delivered, and the Wei family had no entries. When the Chen family won the first place in the competition, the Wei family would be completely finished, and they would not care about offending Li Zheng.

After receiving Ye Chen's order, Anan and others swarmed forward, picked up the beer jars stacked in the house and walked outside the house.

"Master Li, Ye Chen has resigned and will not send you off!"

"Hey, nephew Ye, what do you mean?" Seeing that the wine in his dream was carried away by Ye Chen and others, Li Zheng stood up suddenly and said

Ye Chen was minding his own business, directing Anan and the others to move the wine, ignoring Li Zheng's shouts.

"Nephew Ye, can you keep the wine? We can discuss anything if necessary," Li Zheng said in a gentle tone.

Putting other things aside for now, for him, a wine addict, if he couldn't taste this bottle of wine today, life would lose some meaning.

Besides, Ye Chen had already said that this wine was brewed with his own unique secret recipe. If there was a breakup, he would go there and look for it again.

"Since Mr. Li didn't agree to Ye Chen's request, he just didn't save face for Ye Chen. I'm afraid the wine won't be able to impress you either. Ye Chen had to take the wine back and taste it alone."

Ye Chen opened the seal of the jar of beer, took a sip pretending to be intoxicated, and shook his head at Li Zheng regretfully. Looking like that, Li Zheng in the room felt itchy in his heart, as if there were ants crawling around.

If you don't want to do anything for him, you still want Ye Chen's exclusive beer? Ye Chen might as well take it back and have a few drinks with that girl Lian'er. When he took the six jars of wine away, the girl was still at odds with him.

"Master Li, Ye Chen excuses himself"

The remaining five jars of wine were neatly carried on the burdens by Anan and others, and Ye Chen shouted loudly into the room.

"Uncle, are we really leaving?" Anan whispered in confusion.

The young lady had ordered them to follow Mr. Li to come to Mr. Li's place to do something. Now that the matter has not been completed, the uncle has to take the wine back. How can such things be done?

Ye Chen squeezed his eyes and signaled Anan to be silent, "Stop talking, walk slower, don't look back, stop when I tell you to stop later."

Just as the figures of several people slowly walked to the exit of the small courtyard, Li Zheng's voice sounded behind them.

"Leave the wine, fifty officers and soldiers, and ask the master to take you to the Yamen to collect people!"

He is an expert in official circles, observing people's opinions, flattering people, and is proficient in power and rhetoric. Today, he was eaten to death by this young boy from the Wei family.

I can't help it, who makes me really like this wine...

"Stop, stop, put the drink down"

After going back and forth with so many detours and wasting a long time talking, Ye Chen finally borrowed these people.

After stopping Anan and others, Ye Chen couldn't hide the smile on his face and said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for making it happen. Since you like this wine, Ye Chen will definitely satisfy you in the future!"

Now that he has done something for himself, everything will be fine, and Ye Chen can no longer continue to be a butcher.

Seeing the former nodding helplessly, Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief.

No matter what, he finally got it done today.
