Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 305 Everyone is happy
Within two sentences, several gangsters who had previously hunted the two wild boars came over one after another. Most of them were injured to varying degrees, but not seriously. They were covered in mud and looked very embarrassed.

Those who came over looked at Chen Xuan with awe, especially the sarcastic man, who had thought that the night was dim and his words were difficult to understand. Now he avoided looking at Chen Xuan and stayed behind, not daring to get close to Chen Xuan.

The two big wild boars were in great danger and difficult to deal with even when they worked together. Although they did not say it explicitly, they tacitly cooperated to consume their physical strength and wait for an opportunity to eliminate them. To put it bluntly, they did not hesitate to let the wild boars rush into the village and cause destruction.

However, these two terrifying wild boars were killed by Chen Xuan with just two easy steps. It was no more difficult than stepping on two ants. That scene really shocked them.

Who is this person, where did he come from, how can he be so powerful at such a young age? Could it be that he is a rising star from a major martial arts sect?

The key point is that they didn't feel the fluctuation of Chen Xuan's internal force. Although his posture seemed elegant, he actually crushed two wild boars to death with his own strength. This was terrifying!

The two wild boars that were causing trouble were eradicated, and Dujiazhuang no longer suffered from their damage, but the aftermath still had to be dealt with.

It was Chen Xuan who had killed the wild boars, so Qinghe naturally sided with him. Seeing that he was fine, she felt relieved. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qinghe looked at Chen Xuan and said with a smile, "Xuan'er has grown up and has become quite capable. Since you killed the two big wild boars, what are you going to do next?"

Her words set the tone. The wild boar was killed by Chen Xuan, and it was up to him to decide how to deal with it. After all, his strength was there, so who would have any objections?
When it comes to matters involving interests, some people are too concerned about their reputation to talk about them in public, and they may even pretend to be generous and share the profits because everyone has contributed. So Qinghe was worried that Chen Xuan would suffer a loss because of his youth and innocence, so she brought it up directly. She didn't have so many concerns. Women are petty-minded and don't care about so many things.

Putting aside other things, the size of those two big wild boars alone would make them worth a lot of money if sold as meat. How could they be sold at a low price to others?

Understanding Qinghe's thoughts, Chen Xuan felt amused and thought to himself that she was indeed Madam Gao's personal maid, and her character was far superior to that of an ordinary person. If she were any other ordinary woman, she probably wouldn't even have the courage to speak at this moment.

With a flash of thought, Chen Xuan quickly came up with a plan. He didn't care about the two wild boars. He originally wanted to eliminate the harm to the civilians. Besides, he had to leave early tomorrow morning, and he couldn't carry the boars away. Now, he could take the opportunity to gain benefits for Qinghe and Du Zijian, after all, their home was here.

So Chen Xuan said in public: "Two wild boars, two pig's feet and four tusks. I'll ask Sister Qinghe to braise the pig's feet for me later and take them with me on the road tomorrow. As for the rest, I'll ask Brother Du to help me deal with it. However, the heroes present here have contributed a lot, so Brother Du must not let them down."

With just a few words, Chen Xuan decided on the follow-up plan. Qinghe looked at Chen Xuan with a feeling of emotion in her heart. Brother Xuan has really grown up.

These words seemed simple, but if you thought about it more deeply, they actually implied a lot. First, Chen Xuan directly stated that he had the right to directly distribute the land. Who could object to what I wanted? Secondly, he was almost explicitly saying that he was on Qinghe Du Zijian's side, so anyone who dared to make such an advance would have to think twice. Thirdly, he wanted Du Zijian, a local resident, to do him a favor. If he did it right, there would be many benefits...

Qinghe's previous remarks were enough. At this time, Chen Xuan had already made up his mind, so she didn't say anything more. Besides, since Chen Xuan had said that, it was of course the boss who should speak up.

As a businessman, Du Zijian was certainly not stupid. He was just limited by his own abilities and resources and could only maintain this family business. He quickly understood Chen Xuan's meaning, looked at him gratefully, and then smiled in public, "Since that's the case, let me express my opinion on behalf of my 'brother-in-law'."

This sentence also carried forward Chen Xuan's meaning, confirmed the relationship, and provided a reason for handling the matter. No one else dared to object. He then continued, "Here's what I think. The two wild boars have been wreaking havoc for a while, causing great losses to the farmers. Some people have been injured or even killed. So, apart from what Brother Chen needs, the meat of the two wild boars should be divided and distributed to the farmers as compensation. After all, it won't last long in this season before it spoils, so we should avoid wasting it."

"Besides, you all have contributed, so I won't let your hard work go to waste. Later, I, Du, will treat you all to a drink, and each of you will receive twenty taels of silver as a reward for your hard work. What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated. Not only did the people who contributed smile, but even the farmers who had gathered there became excited.

Chen Xuan nodded secretly after hearing this. This was already a very good solution. It would benefit everyone equally, and no one would suffer any loss.

Du Zijian is really a shrewd man. On the one hand, he uses this as an excuse to give some benefits to the farmers. After all, ordinary people can only eat meat a few times a year. The two big wild boars have a total gross weight of at least ten tons. There are more than a hundred households in Dujiazhuang, and each family can get at least more than a hundred kilograms. This is a huge fortune for ordinary people.

This allocation seemed to be a waste of time, but was it a disadvantage? No, it was to establish his reputation and win over the local people. In this way, would the farmers have to work hard for him in the future? The benefits were unimaginable.

Another thing is that he paid a reward for those people in the underworld to come and eliminate the evil, and it was originally a monetary transaction. Although they made efforts, it was of no use. Instead, he treated them with good wine and food, and gave each of them twenty taels of silver as a reward. Who wouldn't be grateful to him?
Even though those people didn't get a share of the two wild boars, each of them got the benefits for free. What else do they want?
In fact, no one could really say anything about this result. After all, Du Zijian's reward was only a hundred taels of silver. They were not the ones who killed the two wild boars in the first place, and he spent even more money afterwards.

Although he spent more money, Du Zijian did not suffer any loss. Not only did he gain the gratitude of the farmers, but he also gained the favors of these people in the martial arts world. Moreover, although the meat was distributed to the farmers, as a businessman, he could make more money by a little operation on the skin and bones of the wild boar. Those were good things containing the blood of exotic beasts. Even if he did not recognize the blood of exotic beasts, how could he not know the value of a wild boar of such a large body?
In the end, Chen Xuan did him such a big favor, but he only asked for two pig trotters and four tusks. Would he let Chen Xuan suffer a loss? Of course not, but there was no need to talk about this matter in person.

"No problem, no problem" "Mr. Du is a righteous man"

"We are ashamed of taking advantage for free. If there is anything in the future, please let us know and we will do our best."

Everyone was smiling happily. No matter how much truth or falsehood they said, it was a happy situation for everyone.

Nodding, Du Zijian said, "If that's the case, and everyone has no objection, then it's settled. I'll arrange for someone to deal with the two wild boars. Everyone, follow me and go wash up and have a drink first."

"please……"

It means that everyone has nothing to do from now on, and Du Zijian is responsible for the subsequent handling of the two wild boars.

As the richest man in Dujiazhuang, Du Zijian's prestige is greater than that of the owner of the manor. He has plenty of people to do the work after he gives orders, and all he has to do next is entertain everyone.

On the way back, Qing He whispered to Chen Xuan, "Xuan'er, you killed those two wild boars. Even if you kept them all, no one would dare to say anything. So you are willing to give such a great benefit to others? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that those two wild boars are worth a lot of money."

"Sister Qinghe, am I such a petty person? What should I do with two wild boars? I can't finish the meat. Besides, I'm on my way. You can't let me waste time dealing with it. Besides, I've already got the biggest benefit," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

That's right. Chen Xuan got the biggest benefit. With his vision, he could of course see that the greatest value of the two wild boars was the two pairs of fangs, the wild boar fangs with the blood of exotic beasts. He was just worrying about where to get the materials to prepare gifts for Gao Jingming in the future. Now they were delivered to his door. After he processed the fangs later, they would be enough to preserve the master's skills. However, because they were of too poor quality, they could only be used once.

Another thing is that being able to help Qinghe and his wife is his greatest gain. He remembers who treats him well and who treats him badly. He values ​​human feelings more than material things.

"Thank you, Brother Xuan," Qinghe said with a smile and said nothing more.

"Sister Qinghe is being too formal..."

When they returned to the Du family, there was a lot of noise and hustle and bustle. Du Zijian treated those people from the underworld with good wine and food, and the atmosphere was harmonious with everyone toasting each other.

The most eye-catching person among them was Chen Xuan. Everyone came up to toast him, saying, "You can do whatever you want, I'll drink it."

Although Chen Xuan did not like such superficial courtesy, he still had to give face to the Qinghe family and maintain politeness with everyone on the surface.

After a few drinks, Wan Ning, one of the 'Three Heroes of Qingyuan' who had crossed paths with Chen Xuan twice during the day, curiously asked, "Mr. Chen, may I ask where you learned your martial arts skills?"

Originally they thought Chen Xuan was just a timid young man who was traveling around, but after seeing how he crushed two wild boars to death like ants, they realized how blind they were.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at them curiously.

Chen Xuan laughed at this and said, "I have no sect or school, I'm just an idler in the mountains, but I have a nickname called Sang Biao!"

Everyone was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then they all laughed, thinking that Chen Xuan was joking. Since he didn't want to reveal the truth, they naturally didn't dare to ask any further questions. Besides, his appearance didn't fit the word "Sang Biao" at all.

Qinghe and the others naturally wouldn't reveal Chen Xuan's identity. If these people wanted to find out, even if they knew a little bit, they would just stay away from him, because Chen Xuan was not of the same kind as them.

It was late at night. Chen Xuan pretended to be drunk and, as Qing He arranged, went to the Du family's best guest room to wash up and rest. He had to travel tomorrow, so he didn't need to worry about the others...
