I Just Won’t Play by the Book

Chapter 157: 4 big families

Latest website: The next day Xu, Jiang Beiran was cooking braised pork ribs on the hillside, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Luo Wenzhou coming to him and shouting.

"Master, the disciple is back."

Nodding, Jiang Beiran asked: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Ate."

"How is the investigation."

When Luo Wenzhou heard the words, he replied: "The disciple learned that there are four relatively large family forces in this episode of Yuanzhen,"

Nodding, Jiang Beiran stood up and said, "Go, go inside and say."

Sitting in the temporary large tent, Luo Wenzhou spread a piece of paper on the wooden table and said: “There are 18 counties in Sipan County. Jiyuan Town is within the jurisdiction of Yunan County and is located in the entire Sipan County. The central area extends in all directions and the economy is prosperous. It has the reputation of Sipan's thoroughfare."

"Jiyuan Town has a population of about 180,000. It is such a big town and there are many big families entrenched here. Among them, there are four most famous big families. The Ye family you want me to check, Master, is one of them. third."

Jiang Beiran couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

‘Only third? ’

He thought that he could have a relationship with Lu Yinlong. In a small town, he should always be the kind of king and hegemony. Who knew it was just a junior...

‘This episode of Yuanzhen’s water is so deep...’

He picked up Shizhouchun on the table and poured himself a cup.

Seeing Master stretch the jug to his side, Luo Wenzhou quickly picked up a cup with both hands to catch it.

Filling up the wine glass in Luo Wenzhou's hand, Jiang Beiran smiled and said, "Try it."

Luo Wenzhou made a toast gesture to the master, and Luo Wenzhou drank the Shizhouchun in the cup.

"Master's wine is always so different. This taste... is made with millet sorghum, right?"

"Hahaha, your tongue is still so good, how does it taste?"

"The entrance is soft, the mouth is sweet, and there is a fragrance after drinking, which is very similar to the Fenjiu you drank to me last time."

"Yes, let's have another glass." Just as Jiang Beiran was about to get a hip flask, Luo Wenzhou grabbed it and said, "I should be the one to toast Master."

"Alright." Jiang Beiran said and drank the Shizhouchun in the cup.

Seeing his brother's eyebrows smiling, Wu Qingce silently remembered this in his heart.

‘It turns out that brother likes to be praised so much. No wonder the brother would only stare at me when I said that it was good.

After drinking two glasses with Luo Wenzhou, Jiang Bei Ranha breathed out a sip and said, "Tell me about the four big families in Yuan Town in this episode."

"Yes." Luo Wenzhou, who was sitting upright again, replied: "The largest family in Jiyuan Town is the Hong Family. The family is attached to the Sifang Sect, the largest sect in Sipan County, but how close is the relationship between the Hong Family and Sifang Sect? The disciple hasn't inquired yet."

"Sifangzong..."

In this world without the Internet, even the sect demon Jiang Beiran in Fengzhou doesn't know all of it, let alone the Lanzhou he has never been to in the future.

However, Luo Wenzhou quickly continued: "This Sifang Sect is the largest orthodox sect in Sipan County, and its suzerain is a powerhouse in the Profound Emperor Realm, and its sphere of influence covers three counties including Sipan County."

"Sure enough, you are a difficult brother..."

As the territory of Sheng Kingdom, the overall strength of the Lanzhou Middle School is not much different from Fengzhou. The school with the Emperor Xuan is already known as the top sect, and it is absolutely capable of carrying it.

‘The second largest family in Jiyuan Town is the Shao Family, and the power behind it is the Full Moon Sect. It is the largest Demon Sect in Sipan County, but...’

"But what?"

"This Full Moon Church seems to be very much loved by the local people, and some people even take the initiative to send their children to be believers."

‘It seems that the magic sect here... doesn’t play cards according to the routine. ’

"Well, the leader of the Full Moon Sect is also a Profound Emperor?"

"Yes." Luo Wenzhou nodded, "However, although this Full Moon Sect is entrenched in Sipan County as much as the Sifang Sect, it does not seem to have had much conflict. The Hong Family and the Shao Family are the same. They have their own jurisdiction. The scope, the division is very clear."

"This is the Ye Family again. The Ye Family is not attached to any sect, but the Patriarch is a powerhouse at the Profound King level, so he still has some right to speak in this Jiyuan Town."

"So that's it..."

Hearing the words Xuanwang, Jiang Beiran suddenly understood why the relationship between Lu Yinlong and the Ye family had weakened, and the strength was not equal. This is, and it is realistic enough...

However, when you think about it carefully, a family that has fallen in the family is indeed very suitable for the protagonist's origin.

"The last big family is the Liu family. It is not attached to any sect, and there is no power behind it. The reason why it can be ranked is because the second daughter of the Liu family head married into the palace and became a relative of the emperor. "

"Oh~ the emperor's old man." Jiang Beiran nodded understandingly.

But thinking about it is very sad. As the emperor's old man, logically speaking, he should be able to walk sideways in this source town, but he could barely rank fourth.

‘It’s no wonder that the emperor’s thoughts are awkward, this is too miserable, but any cultivator doesn’t take him seriously. ’

"Very good, so have you inquired about the current situation of the Ye family?"

"I've inquired about it. The Ye family's recent experience is not very good. The whole town is spreading..." Luo Wenzhou gave Jiang Beiran a look before continuing: "They are all spreading that they were retired by Guixinzong. , Can be said to be reduced to a laughing stock."

‘Pass so fast! ? ’

Jiang Beiran couldn’t help but stunned. Ye family would definitely not say anything about retiring. As far as Jiang Beiran knows from Guixinzong, Lu Qingyin will come back after he made the three-year agreement. It's impossible to say everywhere, why is everyone knowing so quickly?

Hearing the three words Guixinzong, Wu Qingce behind Jiang Beiran was stunned, and at the same time he understood why the brother suddenly had to go to Lanzhou.

‘Brother came here for this remarriage? But why...’

Feeling that someone with a heart should be doing something, Jiang Beiran continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"

"Other...I haven't heard much yet."

"Okay, then I will give you two more days to get to know the members of the Ye family, especially the divorced Ye Fan, and check what he is doing recently."

"Yes." Luo Wenzhou left the tent after speaking.

‘Be vigorous, good, good. ’

Filling himself with another glass of wine, Jiang Beiran looked at Wu Qingce and said, "Are you thinking why I am here to divorce?"

"Yes." Wu Qingce replied honestly.

"Have you come up with anything?"

"This...I can't guess it, but I know that brother must have come here for an important reason."

Standing up and banging Wu Qingce's forehead, Jiang Beiran sighed and said: "After following me for so long, I have not learned anything else. I have learned this kind of nonsense that I have said and said nothing. I will give you a night of thinking. I will listen to you tomorrow. Reply."

"Ah? I..." Wu Qingce was about to say that he couldn't do it, he saw the sharp eyes of the senior, "Yes! I will definitely figure it out."

Nodding satisfied, Jiang Beiran walked out of the tent and looked towards Jiyuan Town on the hillside, thinking about the next steps.

At this moment, Gu Qinghuan, who had been observing for a day in Jiyuan Town, found that in this well-connected town, the inn business was the best, so after careful selection, he came to an inn in Menkeluoque.

"Objective! To top or stay in the shop? Our inn has the best Qingchun wine in town. You can drink it once and want to drink it again!"

Smiling at Xiaoer, Gu Qinghuan looked up at the trick hanging in front of the restaurant.

The so-called tricks, also known as wine flags, have the same main function as the stars of star hotels.

Generally, the name of the shop will be written on the sign, or it may be hung above the shop, or hung in front of the roof house, or simply set up another observation pole, anyway, the purpose is to be conspicuous.

This Chunlai Inn has set up another observation pole, but there are more than one flags hanging on it, but five wine flags, which means that it is a "five-star" inn.

Generally speaking, the inn with one flag is a snack bar, and the two flags are more formal restaurants, the ones with menus, and the specifications are lifted up. The three flags are the inns where you can stay in addition to eating. The four flags are attached to the bathhouse, where there is a special person to help with the bath.

As for the highest five flags, it means that everything in it is of the highest specifications. It can be said that only you can't think of it, nothing he can't do.

Such a high-end inn, but the business is so bad, Gu Qinghuan, who knew that he had found his goal, walked in slowly under the guidance of Xiao Er.

When he walked into the inn and looked at the menu that Xiao Er handed over, Gu Qinghuan said without looking at it, "Bring your most expensive wine and dishes."

The shop Xiaoer was shocked after hearing this, and bowed again and again: "Okay, wait a minute!"

After a while, all kinds of good wine and food were brought to Gu Qinghuan's table.

"Master, it's all here, please use it slowly." Dian Xiaoer retreated to the side after speaking.

After Gu Qinghuan poured himself a few cups, he saw a middle-aged man in a black mandarin walking towards him with an attentive smile on his face.

"The distinguished guests are here, and there is a long way to go. I am the treasurer of this inn, my surname is Luo."

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Luo, I am lucky to meet, I am lucky to meet." Gu Qinghuan arched his hands.

He bowed his hand towards Gu Qinghuan, and the shopkeeper Luo picked up the glass and said: "Thank you for coming, and I will toast you a glass."

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the glass. Seeing that Gu Qinghuan didn't mean to drive him away, the shopkeeper Luo even more engine said: "Guest, are you the first to come back to our inn?"

"Well, your inn looks good."

"Guests, you are too discerning. I spent a lot of money to decorate the shop inside and out. If you are interested in a while, I will show you around."

Picking up a piece of roast goose and putting it in the mouth, Gu Qing said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is so enthusiastic, but what can I do for help."

"Hey, if you are a guest, you shouldn’t be enthusiastic about you... I don’t want to ask you for help. I just think that if you are satisfied with the guest, you can bring more friends next time. I promise to entertain you. , So you feel that the key is missing something, just mention it!"

Seeing that things were developing as he expected, Gu Qinghuan put down his chopsticks and said, "The shopkeeper Luo lacks business?"

Seeing that Gu Qinghua spoke so directly, the shopkeeper Luo stopped constraining, and said directly: "It's too short, you have seen it as a guest. I really spent a lot of money to renovate this shop. I thought that Jiyuan Town would travel north and south. With so many wealthy businessmen in Japan, there will always be people who want to live better, who knows... Well, you have also seen it, my business is so fast that I can’t go down."

After hearing this, Gu Qinghuan laughed and said, "I can help you with this, but you have to promise me a condition."

"Guests, if you really have a way to make the store's business better, don't say one condition, a hundred will do."

"Okay." Gu Qinghuan nodded, took out a cloth bag from his arms and put it on the table, "Boss, you have a good idea, but I have seen it. In this town, there are also inns with better decoration than yours. Many homes."

"Yes..." Shopkeeper Luo nodded, "Moreover, some of them are still time-honored. I think that their business is so good, and they often can't book a box at night, so I thought about opening another one and recruiting those who can't get in. Customers come to me."

"Then have you ever wondered why they would rather line up at those inns, but don't want to come to you?"

"This... I would also like to ask the guests for your advice." Shopkeeper Luo arched his hands towards Gu Qinghuan.

"That's because those inns have become status symbols. Wealthy businessmen can only show their nobility by going to those inns to eat, so if you want to draw guests from those inns, you must do something strange."

Hearing what Gu Qinghuan said so arrogantly, the boss knew that he had really met an expert, and he quickly bowed to the end and said: "Please teach me, Mr."

Nodded, Gu Qinghuan pointed to the baggage he took out and said, "There are fifty red flame grass seeds in it. This is a strange flower. After it grows, it will beat like a flame and can be refined into a second-grade pill. ."

"Second-rank pill!" Shopkeeper Luo's eyes rounded when he heard it. Although he was just an ordinary person, he had heard a lot about cultivators. This pill was one of them. The legendary second-rank pill The medicine was enough for a profound practitioner to fight for a treasure of this level, he hadn't even thought about it.

"Guest, what are you..."

"You don't have to worry about this. I think there is a vacant lot next to your inn. Is that yours?"

"Hey! It's mine, it's mine. I thought the business would be better~lightnovelpub.net~ and build a separate pavilion next to it... who knows."

"Well, then I will plant a red flame grass on the open space tomorrow. If you send someone to speak out, just talk to the store."

"Okay, I see." Shopkeeper Luo nodded quickly.

"When you call in the guests, you tell them"

"Guest, what are you..."

"You don't have to worry about this. I think there is a vacant lot next to your inn. Is that yours?"

"Hey! It's mine, it's mine. I thought the business was good, and then I would build a separate pavilion next to it... who knows."

"Well, then I will plant a red flame grass on the open space tomorrow. If you send someone to speak out, just talk to the store."

"Okay, I see." Shopkeeper Luo nodded quickly.

"When you call in the guests, you tell them"
