I am the one running the game

Chapter 123 Is the wealthy family’s trump card King Yan?
The two went down the mountain. After Lu Xingshi dealt with the alien tiger, he planned to part ways with Song Zhi.

Wanting to see if there was anything good around here, Song Zhi enthusiastically invited Lu Xingshi to his home.

After a lot of shirk, I couldn't shirk it anymore, so I had no choice but to go with Song Zhi.

"The home is so simple that my benefactor is laughing at me." Song Zhi also said a little embarrassed.

Lu Xingshi smiled: "A house does not represent home. A real home is when family members live together peacefully and happily."

He is a person who can talk nonsense to others. Anyway, the positive energy generated by these various compliments is guaranteed to be liked by everyone who hears it.

"What my benefactor said is absolutely true, and I think so too." Song Zhi's face showed joy.

"Don't call me benefactor, my surname is Lu, Lu Xingshi." Lu Xingshi also introduced himself. He had been processing the flesh and blood of exotic tigers before, so the communication with Song Zhi was more about listening.

After entering the house, Song Zhi shouted towards the house: "Lian'er, go to the house opposite and buy three kilograms of good wine, and then go to Cui Tu to buy some good meat."

"What's wrong with you today, sir?" A woman came out of the house with a complaint in her tone, but when she saw that there were guests, she quickly calmed down: "It turns out there are guests coming, I'll go right away."

Lu Xingshi also saw that Song Zhi's family was not wealthy. If he bought wine and meat, life would be difficult in the future.

This time the other party did not refuse, but honestly followed Lu Xingshi's instructions.

Hearing this, before Song Zhi could speak, his wife exclaimed: "You have met a tiger!!!"

Song Zhi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Xingshi: "Your family is not rich, so don't pretend to be fat."

"Don't bother, just find an errand boy and ask the best wine and meat in the town to be delivered." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

To him, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket, but to Song Zhi's family, it is indeed a huge sum of money.

"Thank you so much, my benefactor, for saving my family. It's a great kindness..."

"It was Shaoxia Lu who was so brave that he killed the tiger and saved my life." Song Zhi also explained to his wife.

"I'm not short of money, just think of it as your reward for giving me the tiger."

It is indeed rude to ask guests to pay.

Song Zhi is short and poor, but his wife is tall, fair and beautiful. It does seem a bit inconsistent, but her life is indeed good.

So I took out some money from my pocket.

"No, no, if Lu Shaoxia hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come back."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. It's because of my good fortune that I married Lian'er." Song Zhi also sighed with emotion.

The errand boy came quickly and went to the largest restaurant in the town to order food. Lu Xingshi then said, "Brother Song is so lucky to have such a good wife."

The other party jabbered a lot of words of thanks, but Lu Xingshi interrupted after listening to a few words.

The other party is also very knowledgeable and knows that he should give Song Zhi enough face outside.

"This..." The woman looked at Song Zhi, a little hesitant.

"No matter how polite you are, you should go and ask an errand boy to come over." Lu Xingshi said immediately.

"Where's the injury?" The other party hurriedly came over and groped around.

One is for the outside and the other is for the inside.

The food and wine were quickly delivered, and Lu Xingshi paid the money before eating.

The couple ate very cautiously, and they naturally knew that this table was worth their hard-earned money for more than half a year.

Lu Xingshi began to understand the situation in Laiyan Town.

"Eighty percent of the business profits in the town are monopolized by the local wealthy families, and most of the government officials in the town are from wealthy families." Lu Xingshi found that the situation in Laiyan Town was vaguely changing in the direction of wealthy families.

Firstly, there are no martial arts sects here, and secondly, high-ranking officials come here to get gold plating and then get promoted and leave.

For example, a small official or a small official, even if he is promoted, cannot leave the town, so for their own convenience, wealthy families will stuff people in.

They only need to cater to the management that comes from the air and cooperate with the other party to increase their qualifications, and the other party will not embarrass the local wealthy families.

This reason is probably caused by the successive changes in Da Song. The trouble was laid when he emphasized civility over martial arts, and the clues have only appeared now.

"That's true, but there's nothing we can do about it. It's not wrong to sue others. On the contrary, we are making trouble unreasonably." Song Zhi also complained.

This is true. People play within the rules and can also influence the makers of the rules. How can you, an ant, defeat them?

"Well, you're right."

"But if they are so arrogant, aren't they afraid of King Yan in Dongling?" Lu Xingshi asked.

Laiyan Town is close to Dongling, which means that it needs to digest the territory now and not expand outwards, otherwise Laiyan Town would have been swallowed up long ago.

Against these forces, everyone in King Yan's camp was extremely ruthless. "Well...I don't know. Besides, even if King Yan comes, he just runs away from the government office. What does it have to do with the local gentlemen?" Song Zhi couldn't understand.

"Oh? It seems they have some trump card." Lu Xingshi figured it out. It was precisely because he was confident that he dared.

It seems that the harvest this time should be here.

The most confident trump card must be in his King Yan camp, or else he could still be in the Da Song camp? Da Song's sword cannot kill his Da Yan officials.

"It is said that he has obtained a magic weapon and wants to donate it to King Yan in order to make Chang'an rich and prosperous." Song Zhi said.

"Everyone knows that King Yan has two major hobbies, one is martial arts, and the other is magic weapons."

"So you do what you like."

Lu Xingshi was shocked by Song Zhi's words. He thought there was some collusion, but the other party's trump card turned out to be himself.

"Wealth is fine, but I'm afraid Chang'an is not. Their hands are stretched too far." Lu Xingshi shook his head. If that's all it takes, this group of wealthy people who play monopoly will be doomed next.

Lu Xingshi is good at only accepting gifts and not doing any work.

Furthermore, it is too strange that a wealthy family from a marginal town actually knows about the magic weapon.

"Hey~ This matter has nothing to do with us. Those who collect herbs must continue to collect herbs, and those who farm naturally have to farm. We can't just let us do other things when King Yan comes." Song Zhi didn't care about this. matter.

He is not the beneficiary, but may become the one being exploited.

While the two were chatting, someone kicked in the door.

"Song Sancun, you didn't even say hello to us when we had guests at home. Why did you just close the door and eat in silence." A sultry voice came over.

Song Zhi's expression changed. It was the ruffians in the town who smelled the smell.

Lu Xingshi paid people to run errands to pick up food from the restaurant, but he couldn't hide this from these gangsters. Seeing this situation, it was a bad thing.

As for Song Sancun's nickname, it was naturally because Song Zhi was short, so he was given this contemptuous title.

"There are distinguished guests at home, please come again next time." Song Zhi was not very tough, but said that she would give him a face this time.

"Next time? There won't be such good food and wine next time." The leader's tone was frivolous. He looked at the food on the table and couldn't help but swallowed, and then said: "Besides, I also want to meet this distinguished guest. How expensive can it be to be invited by Song Sancun?"

"Come on, hurry up, or when my brother comes back, one of you will have to lie at home for three to five months." Song Zhi's face darkened. Seeing that the other party was so ignorant, she could only threaten him verbally.

The leader of the gangsters also hesitated at this moment. It was obviously Song Zhi's younger brother who made them feel threatened.

Then he smiled ferociously: "Haha, your brother is not in Laiyan Town at this time. I don't know when he will come back. Maybe he will never come back in his lifetime."

"If you don't show filial piety to me today, then my face in the town will be completely lost."

The ruffian was heartbroken, mainly because the food and wine were so delicious, and someone who could order a whole table easily must have good furniture.

As a foreigner, wouldn't it be better if he could make a fortune from the other party and then go away to live a rich life?

He has a bad reputation in Laiyan Town. If he starts over in another place, he can still be a charitable member of the Communist Party of China.

"Face? How much face do you have? Can you ask King Yan to support you or Emperor Song to pardon you?" Lu Xingshi complained.

Why did he encounter such a thing as soon as he sat down? He really felt sick.

The ruffian leader looked stunned and spoke louder than you.

"It will make it impossible for you, a pretty boy, to leave Song Sancun's house today." The ruffian leader retorted.

These words made Song Zhi and his wife confused. Didn't they realize that all the gangsters from their hometown were so brave?

Others don't know, and he can't know that Lu Xingshi blew the tiger's head off with one punch. Only a few of you bean sprouts are worthy of saying this to Lu Xingshi.

"Lv Shaoxia, don't argue with these people. It's not worth putting your life on the line for a few ruffians." Song Zhi said quickly.

The sentence formed by these few words made the ruffians fall silent.

The co-author is not a rich person, but a charlatan.

This made their legs almost weak. How could they not have heard of the deeds of Jianghu knights in punishing rape and eradicating evil? In the past, they had imagined that they were one of them, but they did not expect that the positioning was wrong. They were not punishing rape. Jianghu knights who eliminate evil, but villains who are punished and eliminated evil.

"This... young hero, we..." the leader of the gangsters said stumblingly. It wasn't that he didn't believe it, because Lu Xingshi stretched out his hand and crushed a stone into powder.

With this hand strength, it would be easy to break their necks.

"Lai Sanniu, why are you standing in front of my house with your people?" came a rough voice.

The local rogue named Lai Sanniu couldn't help but trembled. When he looked back, a huge shadow enveloped him.

"Song...Song Erlang..." Lai Sanniu almost burst into tears. What time was it today? Two unlucky things happened to him at once.
