"Father, this person is not simple. Even Black Wind Ridge fell into his hands. It may not be easy to capture him and bring him back!" Fan Xiuwen said.
"Hmph, what's so difficult? He's just a villager. No matter how talented he is, he can only be a villager. Is it possible that even if our prefecture wants to capture a villager, we can't do it?" Prefect Fan snorted coldly.
"Father, it's not that it can't be done, but it's not the right time yet!"
"Isn't it a time? What's not a time?" Magistrate Fan raised his eyebrows.
His son's style of doing things is nothing like his.
He is the magistrate, the one who can call the shots in the entire Shiliang County.
Do we still have to worry about a villager?
"If father believes in me, please give me a period of time. By then, the wealth lost in Heifeng Ridge will not only be recovered, but it will even be worth the wealth of ten Heifeng Ridges!" Fan Xiuwen said.
"The ten Black Wind Ridges have more than enough money?" Fan Zhifu looked at his son strangely, "You mean there are other ways to make money?"
Fan Xiuwen nodded, "Please believe me, father, this wealth will definitely be easier and more prosperous than relying on those bandits."
"Then tell me, what is the source of wealth?" Magistrate Fan asked.
"Please allow me to investigate this matter for a few more days, and I will give you a satisfactory answer then," Fan Xiuwen said.
Magistrate Fan looked at his son for a long time and finally nodded, "I will believe you once, but you must not let me down."
Fan Xiuwen also nodded quickly, "Please rest assured, father, the child will not let his father down."
After Fan Xiuwen left, Magistrate Fan also fell into deep thought.
What exactly does his son know? Why do he even have to hide some things from him?
But after all, he is his son, and his filial piety cannot be faked, so let him give it a try first.
Fan Xiuwen left the magistrate's mansion directly.
Came to a restaurant.
In the private room of the restaurant, Zhou Guangji was waiting for him.
When I saw him coming, I quickly stood up.
"Master Fan, what did the prefect say?"
Fan Xiuwen sat down, picked up the wine glass, drank a glass of wine, and then said, "My father has been in the officialdom for decades, and he has already become a human being. Although I have not made it clear to him about some things, I'm afraid he can guess Gotta come out.”
"However, even if he could guess it, he wouldn't do anything to his son."
Zhou Guangji stepped forward to fill the wine for him and said, "As long as the prefect doesn't blame the young master, then everything will be easy to handle."
"Zhou Guangji, you have been following your advice. Don't let me fail when the time comes. I won't be able to explain to my father, and you won't have an easy time either!" Fan Xiuwen said with a cold voice while holding the wine glass.
"Master Fan, please rest assured that there were no accidents in our plan. It went very smoothly. Now, we just need to wait for the right time." Zhou Guangji said.
"Have you really confirmed that there is really a salt mine there?" Fan Xiuwen asked, seeming a little worried.
"Completely confirmed, it's just that this method of extracting salt needs to be carefully considered." Zhou Guangji said.
Fan Xiuwen nodded and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Remember, the opportunity is in front of you, not in front of me!"
"Okay, go back to your town of Ender!"
Then he stood up and left the restaurant.
After he left, Zhou Guangji also picked up the wine glass.
"Li Qian, you did not disappoint me. You really destroyed Black Wind Ridge, but this is just the beginning!"
Then he drank the wine in one gulp...
