"...The big family like the Zhong family has hundreds of people in their family, and the situation is much more complicated than outsiders imagine. There are countless intrigues and conflicts. Now the people who hold the power of the Zhong family are Zhong Hong'an. Since Zhong Hong'an's Emperor Gaozu, the heads of the Zhong family all come from this branch. This is also the so-called legitimate lineage of the Zhong family. In addition to Zhong Hong'an's branch, it is not easy for other children from the Zhong family to stand out in the Zhong family. Those who have outstanding abilities will at least work as managers or shopkeepers in the Zhong family. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will be able to take charge of the Datong Money House in one place and be alone. In the end, there are only a very small number of people who can enter the family's elders' club at the end. You can guess why the Zhong family chose me to come to Pingxi County this time..."

Zhong Ruolan leaned against Yan Liqiang's open chest, and her face was still a little red, tightly pressing against Yan Liqiang's strong chest muscles. A green-like slender finger gently slid on the muscles between Yan Liqiang's chest and lower abdomen, with a blurry look on his eyes...

"Of course, a big family like the Zhong family will not put all the eggs in one basket. The Zhong family naturally knows the relationship between me and Lin Qingtian. The Zhong family sent you here. On the one hand, it naturally wants to win me over through marriage and use it for the Zhong family. It is considered a line from the emperor. On the other hand, if I lose power in the future or be liquidated by Lin Qingtian, you are a branch of the Zhong family, and the Zhong family can easily cut relationships with you. No matter what you do, it will not have much impact on the Zhong family. You think I am right!" Yan Liqiang's hand gently slid on Zhong Ruolan's back. Zhong Ruolan's skin was like cream, snow-white, shiny, delicate, making Yan Liqiang unable to let go of it.

"Oh, I can't hide anything from you!" Zhong Ruolan sighed and said.

"You should not be in a good situation in the Zhong family before. I remember when we first met in Pingxi County, you only had a maid and a coachman beside you, and there was not even a guard who accompanied you..."

Zhong Ruolan smiled, "My father should be Zhong Hong'an's cousin by seniority. When my father was young, he was a talented and outstanding person in the Zhong family. However, because my father was a side branch of the Zhong family, he had no chance to stand out in the Zhong family and was suppressed everywhere. When young Zhong family disciples had the opportunity to enter the four major sects. Those disciples of the Zhong family who were directly under the qualifications and abilities were much worse than my father got the opportunity to enter, but my father was not selected. Later, the Zhong family selected the shopkeepers of Datong Money Banks in various prefectures and counties. My father was almost out of the election for the same reason. In the end, he was just divided into a small cloth shop. Finally, when I was eight years old, he died of depression. If it weren't for you, the Zhong family would have been arranged to marry the stupid son of the governor of Lanzhou Du Yuefeng to be his wife..."

"So you have never dared to really show your abilities in the Zhong family?"

"A woman like me who has no support at home can't be too stupid in the Zhong family. She will be bullied and looked down upon by others, but she can't be too smart. If she is too smart, the result will be better than being stupid. It's best to be a little smarter than the ordinary Zhong family's children and can barely protect themselves!"

Yan Liqiang sighed. "The family is prosperous and people-oriented. It seems that the Zhong family is inevitably infected with the disadvantages of many large families!"

"Everyone understands the truth, but when you really face a choice, it is too difficult to have a person without selfishness!"

"It's really hard for you to be with the Zhong family over the years!"

"I am yours now, do you believe me now?"

"Then what do you want me to give you?"

Zhong Ruolan turned over and pressed Yan Liqiang under her body. She looked at Yan Liqiang with complicated eyes and bit her lip, "If I said I wanted to overwhelm the Zhong family one day and let the person from the direct descendants of the Zhong family bow down in front of me, would you think...a woman like me is terrible?"

Yan Liqiang smiled, "Do you want to step on the Zhong family?"

"It's not that I'm going to step on it, I just want to compare the Zhong family and let the people in the world know that the famous Zhong family in the northwest Lanzhou, which was dominated by those people. However, even in the northwest, a woman from the next department of the Zhong family who was thrown out by the Zhong family can compare the people who stayed in the Zhong family!"

This is Zhong Ruolan's obsession, and everyone has their own obsession.

"The core of the Zhong family is Datong Money House, and in my opinion, Datong Money House is indeed just like this. The business model of the money house is too backward! "Yan Liqiang smiled and shook his head," the wealth accumulated by Datong Money House for the Zhong family over the years is only tens of millions of taels of silver. To exceed the Zhong family, two or three years is enough, so why is it difficult..."

"You have a way?" Zhong Ruolan looked at Yan Liqiang with a surprised look.

"Originally, I came to you this time and wanted to talk to you about this. I won't talk about it for now. Since you are so smart, you can try to guess!"

Zhong Ruolan glared at Yan Liqiang, lowered her head, and bit Yan Liqiang's chest with a fierce mouthful...

...

Yan Liqiang stayed in the Zhong family's mansion for a day and a night until noon the next day, and left the Zhong family's mansion with a normal face, and slowly asked the carriage to return to Yan'an Castle.

Yan Liqiang, sitting in the carriage, touched his chest. Thinking of yesterday's everything, a smile of aftertaste appeared on his face. This time, the harvest was a bit beyond his expectations when he came to Pingxi City.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Pingxi City, it stopped moving and was blocked on the street.

"Young Master, there are troops entering the city at the front gate. The carriage cannot pass. Please wait for a while in the carriage!" The driver who was driving the carriage knocked on the partition of the carriage, then opened a small air window in front of the carriage, separated by hollow copper pieces, and said to Yan Liqiang in the carriage.

"Oh, OK!" Yan Liqiang's heart moved, and then he opened the carriage directly and walked out of the car to check.

The street was already blocked, and several policemen were maintaining order on the street. At the city gate more than a hundred meters away, Yan Liqiang could still see teams of soldiers with distinctive armor and solemn temperament carrying long spears, entering Pingxi City from the city gate. People on both sides of the street and the surrounding attic windows were all stretching their heads to watch...

"Sir, please ask, where did these troops come from?"

An old man on the street looked at Yan Liqiang, then looked at the gorgeous four-wheeled carriage next to Yan Liqiang, and a smile appeared on his face, "These troops are our Ganzhou prefectures. I heard that the Gulang grassland seems to be a little chaotic now. The governor is worried that our Pingxi County will be unstable, so he dispatched troops and sent them to Baishi Pass to garrison and strengthen defense. Today, he will pass by our Pingxi City and enter the city to repair it!"

"Thank you, my father!"

"Young man, please be polite!"

Wang Jianbei and Ries were acting so fast together. Yan Liqiang suddenly had an idea in his mind. He just calculated the days. He was probably on the way before he agreed to spend two million taels of silver to clean up the mess in the city. Otherwise, these Ganzhou soldiers would not have arrived so quickly. This style of conduct that requires his own money and the lives of Shatu people is exactly the same as Ries...
