Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 307 A freeloader

"Haha, Master Xue, it seems you have figured out some things!"

"Very good, then I won't play these roundabout ways with you."

Zhang Ze smiled at Xue Wenyan, and then said bluntly: "Master Xue, I want you to join my camp!"

Xue Wenyan heard this but did not respond.

Seeing this, Zhang Ze continued, "Master Xue, you should know that my adoptive father has twelve adopted sons."

"Among them, the eldest and the third are both people in the palace."

"Old Ten and I are businessmen."

"Old Four and Old Eight are from the military."

"The fifth and sixth brothers are now serving as officials in the imperial court."

"The seventh, ninth, eleventh and twelfth sons have not yet entered the court to serve as officials, but they will soon."

"I believe Lord Xue also knows that we now have several factions."

"To be honest with you, Master Xue, I have joined forces with the third and fourth brothers."

"Old Twelve is very close to us right now!"

"So, if Lord Xue joins our camp, he will definitely not suffer any loss!"

"Although your position as the county magistrate is not low, you are only the second in command in the county."

"Doesn't Lord Xue want to go further?"

After Zhang Ze said this, he didn't say anything else.

However, after hearing what Zhang Ze said, Xue Wenyan began to think.

There has always been fighting among Eunuch Zhang's adopted sons.

Eunuch Zhang is also balancing these things.

However, the power that the second brother just mentioned should never be underestimated.

If he follows the second brother... he will definitely not suffer any loss!

But the price...

"Second Young Master, I, Xue Wenyan, only have one daughter now, and no sons, so... my daughter..."

……

"Haha, please rest assured about this, Lord Xue. I do have a good impression of Miss Linglong, but I also know that Miss Linglong and Jiang Chen have a close relationship, so... I won't make things difficult for Miss Linglong." Zhang Ze said with a smile.

"This……"

Xue Wenyan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

What does this Zhang Ze mean?

Not only does it not count to win him over, but you also want to win over Jiang Chen?

If that's the case, then what's the point of him joining Zhang Ze?

When Zhang Ze saw Xue Wenyan's silence, he instantly guessed what Xue Wenyan was thinking.

He smiled faintly and said, "Haha, Master Xue, I know you have been investigating Jiang Chen recently. I am afraid... this matter is related to the cause of your son's death, right?"

"you……!?"

When Xue Wenyan heard this, he looked at Zhang Ze in shock.

Zhang Ze, how did you know about this!?

"Haha, Master Xue, to be honest with you, I want to win over Jiang Chen, but what I'm interested in is the honeycomb charcoal in Jiang Chen's hands and the value of Jiang Chen's use."

"If you find out that Jiang Chen is related to the cause of your son's death in the future, I promise... I will help you get revenge!"

"But before that, I think... Master Xue doesn't want to break up with Jiang Chen!"

"What's more, Master Xue has been investigating for so long, but there is no clue at all, right?"

Zhang Ze said with a smile on his face.

When Xue Wenyan heard what Zhang Ze said, his face turned extremely ugly.

What Zhang Ze said really touched his heart.

Now, he has been investigating for more than a month, but there is really no clue at all.

Not to mention Luzhou County, there is no clue at all about Jinchuan County and Zhoujia Village!

And it was precisely this lack of clues that made Xue Wenyan feel that this matter... was related to Jiang Chen!

……

"I, your humble servant, am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse!"

"I also hope that the Second Young Master will not forget the promise he made today!"

After much deliberation, Xue Wenyan decided to join Zhang Ze.

After all, their goals now are the same!

The next morning, Jiang Chen woke up refreshed.

However, Jiang Chen felt refreshed, but... Chen Yuanyuan couldn't get out of bed.

"Son!"

In the yard, a group of old soldiers saw Jiang Chen and saluted him in unison.

"Ah."

Jiang Chen nodded and looked at the fifty old soldiers, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

These are all the old soldiers assigned to him by Marquis Jian'an.

He has to handle it properly.

These people are not physically disabled and are more capable of fighting than Old Wu and his men.

Jiang Chen thought about it and arranged for these old soldiers to go back in batches to pick up their families, and gave each of them some silver.

After Jiang Chen finished doing all this, Xu Meng and Xu Yunchang came to Jiang Chen together.

"Son!"

Xu Yunchang and Xu Meng saluted Jiang Chen together!

This scared Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Xu, you...what are you doing...?"

Others don’t know Xu Meng’s identity, but Jiang Chen knows that Xu Meng is a son of a general and is not an ordinary person!

"Sir, from now on you can just call me by my name!"

"I have decided to join you, sir!"

Xu Meng said as he knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Chen.

"No, no, no!"

Jiang Chen hurriedly helped Xu Meng up.

Xu Meng joined him?

But stop making trouble.

The Xu family is a first-rate family in the capital!

Moreover, if it weren’t for what happened to Xu Meng before, Xu Meng would at least be a marquis now!

……

"Sir, you don't want to accept me?"

Xu Meng was stunned when he saw Jiang Chen refused!

"Sir, although I, Xu Meng, don't have any great abilities, my Xu family has many friends in the capital and even in the court. I can provide you with intelligence about the capital!"

"Sir, you...just accept me!"

"Sir, Brother Xu is very capable! Let him follow you!" Xu Yunchang also began to persuade.

"I……"

Jiang Chen looked helpless.

"Brother, Master Xu, you two should get up first."

"It's not that I don't want to accept Master Xu, but I am just a small village chief, how can I compare to the Xu family? I..."

Jiang Chen looked helpless.

"Sir, you are no longer the village chief! You will be a marquis soon!"

"I, Xu Meng, will follow you, and things will be fine in the future!"

"Besides, your business is getting bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, you will be able to make it to the capital. When that time comes... our Xu family can help you!"

Xu Meng said this excitedly.

After Jiang Chen heard what Xu Meng said, he felt too embarrassed to refuse.

Xu Meng's strength is not weaker than Marquis Jian'an, and he has the Xu family behind him. If Xu Meng can be accepted... it will be beneficial to him!

That being the case...

"Mr. Xu, if that's the case, then I'll accept you!"

"I, Jiang Chen, promise that I will never treat you unfairly in the future!"

Jiang Chen said with a firm look on his face.

"Thank you, sir!"

Xu Meng was extremely excited when he heard this!

It was originally Mu Qingqing's idea for him to join Jiang Chen.

After all, Jiang Chen needs this information from Xu Meng.

Originally Xu Meng was somewhat reluctant, in his opinion, Jiang Chen was just a gigolo!

Although he has some abilities, he is not convinced!

But after talking with Xu Yunchang about Jiang Chen's situation on the battlefield last night, Xu Meng completely changed his mind!

This Jiang Chen is not just a gigolo!

He is capable!

And just at this moment, the old soldier at the door walked in!

"Sir, Third Master Xue is here and wants to see you!"
