There was a knock on the door.
"come in."
Walking in from the outside, Zhou Hong knelt down on one knee in front of Su Chen:
"Master, even the directors of the Long Family have already left, but they have left a lot of manpower outside to monitor."
"Oh." Su Chen simply replied, seriously shaking the Erlenmeyer flask in his hand. The brown solution rolled slightly in the bottle, steaming continuously.
Zhou Hong glanced at Su Chen in concentration, and couldn't help but said, "Master, why didn't you see them? You arrested their people, didn't you just want to negotiate with them?"
"Talk, of course I want to talk, but not now." Su Chen replied.
The solution in the bottle was poured out and slowly flowed onto a previously carved stone slab, spread evenly on the stone slab, and formed a magnificent pattern with the help of the dents of the slate.
"Not now?" Zhou Hong puzzled.
"Yes. The Lianlong family nowadays are very proud. They would not put me in their eyes, but would only think that I was a fluke. If they hadn't had an heir in my hands, they wouldn't even want to tell me more. A few words. This kind of superior mentality is not conducive to negotiation."
"But..." Zhou Hong hesitated to speak.
"You want to say that they are indeed stronger than us, right?" Su Chen looked back at him and smiled.
Zhou Hong bowed his head: "Please forgive me, Master."
"It's nothing, your idea was right." Su Chen calmly said: "We were inferior to them, so I have to wait."
"Waiting for?"
"Naturally wait for the opportunity to increase our weight... Do you really think that I am fighting alone in Qinghe City?" Su Chen replied looking at the solution on the stone slab.
The thick solution is rapidly cooling, forming a thin film full of patterns.
Taking a breath, Su Chen carefully peeled off the film from the stone slab, dropped it on his hand and looked at it, with a pleasant smile on his face:
"It's done."
"What is it?" Zhou Hong was stunned: "Experiment? Or opportunity?"
"Both."
Outside the door, Li Shu walked in.
"Young Master, City Lord An would like to please."
——————————
Qinghe City Lord Mansion.
"Hahahaha, really young and promising!"
In the lobby of the main courtyard, An Siyuan let out a hearty laugh.
From the outside, An Siyuan is a rude martial artist. There was a light head on the burly body, shiny and shiny, and people couldn't help but want to touch it when they saw it.
His laughter is also rough, wanton, public, and thunderous.
At this moment, An Siyuan has said: "I just came to Qinghe, and I fought the Lianlong family to get rid of the horse and fight on Nan'an Street. Good job, good job!"
Simple words, but clearly showed An Siyuan's attitude.
Su Chen replied, "Don't the city lord blame Su Chen for being reckless, he will cause trouble when he comes up?"
"Hey, if it's the trouble of beating the top ten nobles, I hope that the more the better." An Siyuan said hesitantly.
Su Chen smiled: "When I heard this, Su Chen was relieved."
Yes, others may still fear the top ten nobles, but An Siyuan will not.
The rise of the rich is the weakening of the officialdom.
As the lord of the city, An Siyuan is in charge of the life and death of a city, so naturally he doesn't like being left behind.
In addition, he himself is also from the bloodless family.
With a bloodless body, being able to be honored as the city lord, it can be seen that this person is still very capable, but it is a pity that this limits his strength and cannot surpass Yaoguang for life.
As early as when he came, Su Chen had already found out that there had always been a deep contradiction between An Siyuan and the bloodline nobles, and it had already been revealed. Of course, there are disputes about power, but there are also bloodlines.
At this moment, An Siyuan said: "It's a pity that not everyone can be as courageous as Su Zhixing and challenge the ten nobles."
Su Chen replied: "Su Chen didn't have the idea of challenging anyone. He just felt that as a source, he was obliged to fulfill his responsibilities. The ten nobles believed that they had great wealth and power, so they could surpass others and trample on the laws of the country. Because the law is not tolerated, it is therefore grasped. As for the battle on Nan'an Street, it is just another evidence of these giants' trampling on the laws of the country."
"Yeah! Good point!" An Siyuan nodded: "No matter who you are, as long as you are a ruled citizen, you need to abide by the law. But there are always people who think that they can be an exception, relying on their personal interests, and domineering. I hate me. Although An Siyuan intends to kill the thief, he can hardly support it alone."
Su Chen smiled and said, "Why should the Lord An sigh with emotion? You need to know that this world is still the world of officials after all."
"But this Qinghe City is about to become a noble world." An Siyuan touched his big bald head and said: "Su Zhixing, I won't be polite with you. Why do you think the top ten nobles are so arrogant? Just rely on that. Some dark tricks? No! What they have is not only their own government, but also the help of the court! If you don’t say anything else, just say you. You have seen it, even Liu Wuya is a source of Dusi. They have all become their people. If it weren't for Su Zhixing, you would have been killed by them long ago! It's a pity, An Siyuan is incompetent, so I can't deal with this damn bitch."
The Department of Yuandu Department was sent from above, and even An Siyuan could not be transferred, so at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and be fierce.
Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that he can't do anything about it. He is the City Lord after all. At this moment, saying this is just to silence Su Chen's mouth first.
Fortunately, Su Chen didn't expect him to avenge himself. He just said: "There are always some people who are really attached to the court and obey the city lord, right?"
"That is of course." An Siyuan replied: "The city guard station has always been loyal to the officials, and I can talk about the Lingyuan navy army. Even the Yuandu Office, the inspector has long stopped listening to me. As for the Tianji Guard, it is even more on its own. The Emperor Lao Tzu is aloof, no one will listen."
The city guard station is responsible for the defense of the city. The Lingyuan navy army is not under the Qinghe establishment, but the Wujun establishment, which is larger than the city guard station. An Siyuan holds the two most important armed forces in his hands. This is his greatest capital against the ten nobles.
The Yuandu Office is responsible for the disputes between the source and the people, and the Inspection Department is responsible for handling the case. They are both local public security agencies and semi-armed agencies, but An Siyuan is completely speechless.
As for the Tianji Guard, as An Siyuan said, it is a spy agency that serves the country's lord, and no one can command them.
If you really want to reach here, you are looking for death.
In fact, the reason why the city guard station and the Lingyuan navy could be controlled by An Siyuan was probably because the ten nobles did not want to violate the court's taboos.
The military and secret service agencies are not something they can intervene at will. Controlling the security agencies is enough.
However, Su Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid there is still another place that City Lord An wants to control, but he can't control it, right?"
An Siyuan was taken aback: "You mean..."
"The Gangster."
