Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

Later, Zhang Chen returned home. After dinner, he felt a little tired and leaned on the couch to rest.

At this time, a crisp reminder sounded in Zhang Chen's ears.

[Ding! Successfully traded cloth with Zhongshan Zhen's Cloth Shop, obtained 1.8 million silver coins, triggered the effect of the entry "Fortune and Prosperity", and the income increased by 100%, silver coins +3.6 million! 】

! ! !

Zhang Chen suddenly got a start and sat up.

Steward Wu had been away from the house for many days. It was said that he went to the neighboring county to do a big business. Unexpectedly, the business partner was the Zhen family!

That was a famous family in Jizhou. Even Yuan Shao was eager to marry the Zhongshan Zhen family!

Zhang Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly opened the [Assets] page and browsed them one by one.

[Property: 250,000 gold (6 million coins)]

[Shops: 14 rooms]

[Land: 100 mu]

[Tenants: 140 people]

[Grain reserves: 1,500 shi]

Sure enough, Wu Guanjia is still as powerful as ever, and Zhang Chen's assets have increased again. In terms of money alone, there are as much as 250,000 taels of gold!

According to the conversion method of the Eastern Han Dynasty, 1 jin of gold is 24 taels, and 1 tael of gold is 24 coins.

250,000 taels of gold is as much as 10,000 jin!

This does not include those shops, land and other things.

With Zhang Chen's current financial resources, he is definitely a rich man. He is still very satisfied with this result.

However, Zhang Chen also knows that this money looks like a lot, but it will be like water when it comes to use.

He wants to achieve great things. The army is a bottomless pit. Food, weapons, horses, as well as military pay and pensions, are all places to spend money.

This little money invested, I am afraid that not even a wave can be seen.

Alas, relying on the management of housekeeper Wu alone, even with the superposition of many item effects, it is still too slow. It seems that after having a certain strength, he really has to consider getting close to those noble families.

But for now, let's deal with Han Xuan first. Tomorrow, he will definitely ask for a bribe.

Zhang Chen has no intention of entangled with him, and does not expect a small imperial envoy to bring him much help.

If he knows when to stop, just give him some money and send him away.

But if he is greedy, humph!

Midnight, West City Inn.

In the second floor Tianzi No. wing room, Han Xuan is wearing a single piece of clothing, leaning on the couch, his eyes slightly closed.

The two singing girls were also wearing thin clothes. One knelt in front of him and massaged his legs, while the other sat on the couch and massaged his shoulders. Their eyes were full of charm and enchantment.

Pan Feng, who was standing aside, turned away with a face full of anger.

A middle-aged man in his forties walked in from outside the door. He had two mustaches and was dressed in a plain cloth robe, dressed like a legal advisor.

After the man came in, he bowed to Han Xuan, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at the two singing girls, revealing a lewd smile.

Han Xuan closed his eyes, so he naturally didn't see the man's actions. After a while, he said, "Why, haven't you found out the details of this county magistrate? What's the problem? Is it corruption or extortion?"

"My Lord, I have questioned several people, and they all praised the county magistrate, and no one said anything bad about him."

"Hmm?" Han Xuan sat up slightly, snorted coldly, and said, "Hmph! Where can there be such an official in the world? It's obviously because you are not doing your job well!"

Han Xuan shouted angrily, and the man knelt down in fear.

At this time, an attendant outside the door came in with a woman.

"My Lord, someone is willing to testify that the county magistrate of this county is rampant and lawless."

"Oh?" Han Xuan's eyes lit up and he looked at the woman.

The woman was in her thirties, dressed simply, but still charming, and didn't look like she was from a poor family.

"Who are you? Why are you suing the county magistrate?"

"Sir..." The woman knelt on the ground with a plop, sobbing, "I want to sue... the county magistrate Zhang Chen, who killed my husband and took my property, woo woo..."

"What! There is such a thing!" Han Xuan was shocked after hearing it and said, "Tell me in detail, don't hide anything."

"Yes, sir." The woman said, "My husband was originally a merchant in Guangping, named Huang Wenyi, and he had an old relationship with the Zhang family..."

It turned out that this woman was Huang Wenyi's wife. That day, Zhang Chen killed Huang Wenyi in the street and confiscated all his property. As for his wife and children, he did not punish them and left them a few acres of land to live on.

But Mrs. Huang was used to a life of luxury, how could she bear the days of simple meals? Therefore, she was not grateful at all, but secretly resentful.

Today, she was strolling in the market and saw a business trip from Beijing coming into the city and staying at this inn.

She wanted to watch the fun, but after a while, the innSomeone came out and asked the county magistrate if he had done anything illegal. Mrs. Huang thought to herself that if she could take this opportunity to point out Zhang Chen, she might be able to bring him down in one fell swoop to avenge the murder of her husband and the seizure of his home.

So she went to Han Xuan's men.

At this moment, she exaggerated and said that Zhang Chen was a sinister villain who owed money and didn't pay it back, turned black and white, and finally killed innocent people.

After hearing this, Han Xuan was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the Guangping County Magistrate had such a big handle. He must hit him hard tomorrow!

"Don't worry, I will patrol on behalf of the emperor, and I will be very careful. I will never let such a vicious person sit in the temple!" Han Xuan smiled, "Are you willing to write down what you just said and testify in court tomorrow?"

"I am willing, I am willing!" Mrs. Huang said hurriedly.

Han Xuan immediately asked the lawyer to bring paper and pen, and asked Huang to write the complaint and put her handprint on it.

Han Xuan looked at the complaint and smiled, saying: "Okay, with this complaint, I will give you justice!"

"I... I thank you, sir. If you can overthrow this dog official and return my property, I... I am willing to give half of my property to thank you!"

Huang immediately knelt on the ground and cried with her face covered.

"Hehe, no problem, no problem! You two, take her downstairs to rest first and take good care of her. Tomorrow, I will let the county magistrate confront her in court!"

"Yes." The lawyer and his attendant responded, and took Huang out, ordered the waiter to arrange a guest room, and sent more people to keep a close watch.

Han Xuan watched Huang leave, his face suddenly darkened, and he cursed in his heart: "Humph! Half? Do you really think I'm a beggar!"

Tomorrow, if the county magistrate is sensible and knows how to respect, he will get rid of Huang for him. If he is blind, after getting rid of him, he will confiscate all his assets in the name of ill-gotten gains, hehe!

...

Early the next morning, Zhang Chen came to the county government office early. Ju Su, Gao Shun and a group of messengers dressed as soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp gathered at the county government office to wait.

But after waiting for a long time, Han Xuan's carriage did not arrive. It was not until the sun was high that the messenger outside the door came to report that the inspector had arrived at the gate of the county government office.

Zhang Chen hurriedly called everyone and got up to greet them.

After a while, Zhang Chen arrived outside the yamen and saw Han Xuan's carriage had arrived. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Excellency's arrival is really an honor to our humble county. Please come in and have a chat."

Pan Feng got off the horse and lifted the curtain, and Han Xuan slowly got out of the carriage.

Today, the two singing girls were not seen in the carriage.

Zhang Chen took a quick look and saw that Han Xuan had dark circles under his eyes and looked tired, probably because he had worked hard all night yesterday.
