"Why does the censor want me to do something?" Xiao Tianxiong asked puzzledly.
Although he often dealt with government officials, he only bribed and bought off the officials, and few officials looked for him.
Especially the censors, who were all allowed to attend court and whose official ranks were generally not low. Xiao Tianxiong seldom came into contact with these officials.
The younger brother then explained: "The censor wanted to find the hall master to trade something."
"Then let him in."
Xiao Tianxiong waved his hand casually.
The subordinate nodded, bowed his head and left the hall soon after.
Ye Liangchen, dressed in scholarly attire, appeared before him and said, "I have heard of the Black Tiger Hall Master's reputation for a long time, and today I see that it is indeed true."
Such a resounding flattery.
However, the Black Knife King Xiao Tianxiong had a good impression of him, especially since the other party was a high-ranking official, a sixth-rank official.
He felt more relaxed and said, "You are welcome. May I ask what is the important matter, Lord Ye?"
"Since Hall Master Xiao asked this, then Ye will not hide anything and will speak frankly."
"But it's okay."
Xiao Tianxiong looked straight at him and gently stroked the golden ring. The surface of the ring was very smooth, as if it had been polished many times.
Ye Liangchen's tone was calm and composed, and he didn't feel like he was in a bandit camp.
He slowly said, "A new inspector has come to Beihe Street. This guy is the enemy of the Prime Minister. And with his personality, he might ruin Hall Master Xiao's plan."
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone..." Xiao Tianxiong's lips curled slightly and he chuckled, "Are you going to use my knife to kill the person you want?"
Although he didn't mind killing an official.
But everything has a price.
After all, they are officials of Daqian. If someone investigates them, they will have to pay money to avoid disaster, which is not cost-effective.
Ye Liangchen also knew that this was a deal.
However, he said: "If you can kill this man, you will be able to enter the sight of the prime minister in the future. With his help, the Black Tiger Gang will be able to develop even more powerfully."
"So the benefit you gave me is just a promise from the current capital?" Xiao Tianxiong narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Liangchen.
This little censor actually wanted to buy someone else's life without any effort.
How could such a good thing happen in the world? Ye Liangchen said calmly: "This is an investment in the future. If Master Xiao is favored by the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, I think you all know your future path without me telling you, right?"
"From now on, the Black Tiger Gang will be able to openly operate in public, and even be able to take on government taxes. They will no longer need to engage in these sneaky activities."
Ye Liangchen didn't care about the promise made to him.
Anyway, scholars are always the ones who are unfaithful.
It won't be too late to take action against the Black Tiger Gang after he comes to power. Ye Liangchen has already sent people to inquire about the news of the Black Tiger Gang.
He knows the Black Tiger Gang very well.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the Black Tiger Gang becoming stronger.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Tianxiong shook his head and said, "Ye Jianguan, you should ask for help from someone else."
The Prime Minister of the dynasty wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and that person might be someone powerful. Xiao Tianxiong didn't want to get involved in these official affairs.
What's more, he was not familiar with Ye Liangchen at all. What if the other party was just talking nonsense and the Black Tiger Gang would do the dirty work instead?
That's just not fair.
Ye Liangchen didn't expect Xiao Tianxiong to refuse so decisively.
But he still didn't give up and wanted to continue persuading.
Xiao Tianxiong knew what he was thinking.
He immediately raised his hand to stop her, "No need to say more, while this hall master is in a good mood, you should get out quickly."
Ye Liangchen's face gradually darkened when he heard this.
If he comes to power, the first thing he will do is to destroy the Black Tiger Gang.
He was about to leave.
Suddenly, a young man outside ran in hurriedly. He didn't look carefully at the road and tripped over the threshold, falling upside down.
Seeing this, Xiao Tianxiong immediately frowned and said in a grim tone, "What's going on? You're so irritable, do you want to die?"
The younger brother climbed up tremblingly.
He almost knelt down and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, Master, I was too anxious."
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Tianxiong asked directly.
Xiao Tianxiong originally had a blank expression on his face, and had the aura of a superior.
When he heard this, he was shocked and said, "Who is it? Who took down our branch?!"
The man did not hide anything and said while panting, "That man is the new Beihe Street Inspector Xu Qiu. He not only took over our branch hall, but also took all our people and goods back. It's a heavy loss! Master."
Xiao Tianxiong frowned tightly.
Even the ring was crushed by his force. It first became dented, and then it could no longer withstand the force and cracked with a snap.
Xiao Tianxiong was extremely angry, but he did not kill Xu Qiu immediately.
After thinking for a while, he said, "No ordinary person would do such a thing. Who is this guy?"
Ye Liangchen saw this situation.
I feel like I have a chance.
So he interrupted and said, "I know this person's origins."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianxiong raised his hand and said, "Please speak."
"This man is the son-in-law of the Qin family. The head of the Qin family is a third-rank official of the current dynasty and has quite some influence in the court. Therefore, Xu Qiu can act recklessly."
Ye Liangchen spoke slowly, and at the same time ignored the fact that the Qin family had a general.
In this way, there is no need to worry that Xiao Tianxiong will hesitate.
When Xiao Tianxiong heard this, he really believed his words and clenched his fists even tighter, "Do they think we are just here to eat and do nothing? Do they think they can bully us just because they have high positions?"
"Indeed, the Black Tiger Gang is well-known in Beijing." Ye Liangchen followed up his words and continued, "I do have a suggestion."
"Please go ahead."
"Kidnap him, and then threaten the Qin family to make them bleed heavily. Then Hall Master Xiao will kill and rob them. Not only will the Qin family suffer heavy losses, but Hall Master Xiao will also make a fortune."
Ye Liangchen didn't hide anything.
He just wanted the Qin family to bleed heavily.
At the same time, Xu Qiu must die at the hands of the Black Tiger Gang, which would kill two birds with one stone.
When Xiao Tianxiong heard this method, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
They clapped their hands and said, "This method is very good. Not only can we kill that kid, but we can also make them compensate for the losses of our branch hall."
At this time, the younger brother said tremblingly: "Master, I heard that the inspector is quite powerful."
Xiao Tianxiong snorted, not taking Xu Qiu seriously. "Then send the other hall masters to surround him together. I don't believe that I can't catch him."
The younger brother bowed and left.
Ye Liangchen added to Xiao Tianxiong: “Master Xiao, if Xu Qiu can be eliminated, Ye will still keep his promise as he said just now.”
Xiao Tianxiong forced out a smile, "Okay, okay."
A harmless smile appeared on Ye Liangchen's face.
…
When Ye Liangchen left the Black Tiger Gang's headquarters, he felt extremely relieved and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that God would help me. This little son-in-law is so stubborn that he even dares to kick the branch."
"It's a good thing he kicked someone, otherwise, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to convince him."
Ye Liangchen doesn't have much to trade, and he is only a sixth-rank official. He has no money and not much power. He has no confidence in the Black Tiger Gang, so he can only use the banner of the prime minister of the dynasty.
Ye Liangchen was in a good mood and whistled.
But when he had just taken a few steps.
Suddenly, several men in black appeared in front of him.
Ye Liangchen glanced at them and frowned, "Everyone, what can I do for you?"
"Master Ye, you have done a great thing." The man in black said with cold eyes, "You actually made our young lady cry bitterly for you. This is the marriage certificate. According to the master's wishes, the young lady wants to break off the engagement with you."
Ye Liangchen, who originally didn't understand what was going on, turned pale and looked incredulous when he heard this.
Subconsciously, I said, “This is impossible!”
"What's impossible? The young lady has long known that you are a fickle person. I didn't expect that you are so versatile. You have dabbled in the Tong family, the Qin family, our Gu Mansion, and even the princess."
Ye Liangchen still wanted to explain.
The man in black pulled out a huge stick.
"If it weren't for Miss Gu, you wouldn't be eating this."
