Lin Guang lost no time in smoothing things over.
"Hahaha, Bo Yuntian, the leader of the family, admits his mistakes and has the courage to take responsibility. He is truly a hero. It is our honor to follow a person like you.
The second master is resourceful, ingenious, adaptable, adaptable, and relies on his true talents and learning to gain status and recognition, which is worthy of admiration.
Everyone, let’s respect these two leaders! "
As the only two bystanders of this incident, Lin Guang talked a lot. Ma Niu Ai didn't say a word and felt it was not appropriate, so he said,
"Me too!"
Everyone drank it all in one gulp, and Nie Chen felt very happy.
To be honest, with the status of a general like the headmaster and the identity of his father-in-law, it is extremely rare to be able to put down his dignity, admit his mistakes in front of everyone, and apologize to a junior like him.
Not to mention in such ancient times, even in modern times, as a leader or elder, who can take the initiative to admit mistakes and apologize to subordinates and juniors?
The boss did this just to make Nie Chen feel more comfortable and to resolve the knot.
After this incident, the only trace of resentment in Nie Chen's heart disappeared.
Make up your mind to work hard in Qingfeng Village, marry a wife, do business, become bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!
In the next period of time, Nie Chen was intensively controlling business matters, forming caravans, transporting goods and minerals to and from the territory of the Barbarian Pingxi King, and recruiting troops to increase his strength.
When the number of soldiers in Qingfeng Village increased, Nie Chen's own martial arts training did not fall behind.
He made a tailor-made pair of fine steel armor for himself by referring to the style of the master's armor. He trained in the armor every day and made great progress in his physical fitness and martial arts.
…
County government.
Liu family.
The head of the Liu family and his daughter Liu Jia were sitting in the main hall, listening to the reports of their subordinates.
In the hall, a man knelt down on one knee and reported.
"For the information of the head of the family, Miss, the situation has been confirmed. Almost all the villagers from Shangzhuang, Xiazhuang, Xiaozhuang and other villages near Qingfeng Village are working in Qingfeng Village."
"Qingfeng Village? It's a small bandit village. Why does it recruit so many people to work?"
The head of the Liu family asked curiously.
Liu Jia, on the other hand, was sitting on a chair, drinking tea leisurely, without any curiosity or doubt.
"Master, there is a hilltop next to Qingfeng Village, where iron ore and coal mines were discovered. Qingfeng Village summoned these people just to mine.
According to the intelligence, Qingfeng Village has carried out extensive construction work, renovated its walls, expanded its territory, and is now using the iron ore to build weapons. "
"A bandit's stronghold is building weapons. Are they going to rebel?"
The head of the Liu family said doubtfully.
"This villain doesn't know, but the villain has also discovered several important pieces of information."
"What information?"
"Some time ago, the shopkeeper of our Liujia Taohuaxiang Wine Shop accidentally revealed that while he was drinking with a villain, he went to attend a wine conference in Queding to promote our good wine, and accidentally discovered a person. This person is suspected to be Nie Chen."
"Nie Chen?"
Liu Jia paused while drinking tea, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly,
"Go on."
"Yes, he hasn't seen Nie Chen a few times. The light was too dark that night and he couldn't see clearly. He only knew that the wine the group brought was called Haohan wine. It was very strong and far better than suffocating a cow. The leader of Queding liked it very much and immediately confirmed the order.
Our Peach Blossom Fragrance failed to sell for this reason.
The villain kept this matter in mind, and when he sent people to investigate the information of Qingfeng Village, he found out that the Haohan Wine was produced in Qingfeng Village, and the second-in-command of Qingfeng Village was Nie Chen. "
"are you sure?"
Liu Jia put down the tea cup, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"It's absolutely true. The villain only dared to report to the head of the family after he had found out the accurate information.
Nie Chen is indeed not dead. For some reason, he has become the second master of Qingfeng Village.
The villain bribed the working farmers and asked them to go to the old people in Qingfeng Village to find out the reason. However, the old people were very strict and only said that Nie Chen was a genius and invented many good things, but they did not tell them what good things they had.
As for the reason why Nie Chen became the second head of Qingfeng Village, it is impossible to find out.
They only know that Nie Chen is now a very important figure in Qingfeng Village and is extremely powerful. All the business and money in Qingfeng Village are controlled by Nie Chen alone. "
Hearing this, the head of the Liu family said bitterly,
"Hmph, when we sent people to Qingfeng Village to inquire before, the people in Qingfeng Village said that they couldn't find the person and couldn't kill him. Now it seems that Qingfeng Village deliberately wanted to protect Nie Chen. He is really a den of snakes and rats. bed bugs!"
Liu Jia smiled slightly and said calmly,
"Rather than this, I'm more curious about what kind of ability Nie Chen has, so that he can make Qingfeng Village trust him so much, let him take charge of business, money and food, and be able to become the second master of the family.
Qingfeng Village can afford to hire so many people to work, and it seems that it has made a lot of money. Has Nie Chen awakened the business blood of the Nie family?
How could I not see before that this dandy scum had such abilities?
Or is it that he has been hiding his clumsiness and waited until he was in a desperate situation before exploding? "
The head of the Liu family seemed not to have heard Liu Jia's words. His eyes were full of greed and he murmured to himself,
"It's an iron mine. If we could master it, the profits would probably double our family's wealth."
Liu Jia squinted at her father and sneered,
"No matter what, we can no longer underestimate Nie Chen. Since he has such abilities, he is a formidable enemy, and our struggle with the Nie family must continue.
The prairie barbarians have always been the big customers of our subordinate wine shop, but now they have been robbed by Nie Chen.
Whether he robs us of our wealth or covets his iron ore, if he dares to influence me to make money, then let him die. "
When Liu Jia spoke, he was calm and gentle, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
"But this iron mine is now occupied by Qingfeng Village. If you want to grab the iron ore and kill Nie Chen, you have to attack Qingfeng Village."
The head of the Liu family is a little embarrassed.
Liu Jia gave him a cold look and said,
"Dad, you have to know that from the moment we forced the Nie family to death, there has been an undying hatred between us and Nie Chen.
It would be fine if he fled to another place and never came back, but now that he has control of Qingfeng Village, with his hatred for our family, sooner or later he will chop the butcher knife on our necks.
Now let’s take a back seat to the struggle for interests. In order to save our own heads, we have to destroy Qingfeng Village.
This time, I have to see Nie Chen beheaded with my own eyes. The mistake made last time cannot be made again. "
