Chapter 676 - 676 Righteous Bandits

676 Righteous Bandits

Of course, this was only the guess of each family in Zhou Shan city.

As for the truth, they had no way of knowing.

This was because they had all heard that Zhou Changsheng had been appointed by the Emperor to be the magistrate of Zhou Shan city.

This meant that Zhou Changsheng definitely had a powerful force behind him.

At this moment, those who were hesitating whether to accept the invitation from the owner of this restaurant saw that the head of the city’s officials was the first to arrive at this restaurant to accept the invitation. Those people quickly reported to their families.

“What? Lord Zhou really went to the appointment?”

“Yes, Master. And he’s the first one to arrive! ”

“Okay, I know.”

“Prepare a congratulatory gift for me. We’re going to Ni Lai Wo w.a.n.g!”

“Yes, master!”

If the restaurant had opened before the new magistrate had captured the bandits from the black wind forest, they would not have taken it seriously even if the magistrate had gone to the restaurant to congratulate them.

However, after the bandits surrendered, everyone in Zhou Shan city knew that Zhou Changsheng had become a force to be reckoned with.

Therefore, even if it was to please the magistrate, they had to go to the restaurant’s grand opening.

It wasn’t just one family that had this thought. The four major families and the Chamber of Commerce all had the same thought.

As for the four highly respected elders of Zhou Shan city, two people refused to partic.i.p.ate because they were pretending to be n.o.ble and proud.

There was also the Dean of the scholarly Academy, a scholar who thought himself to be virtuous and disdained mingling with the merchants who reeked of money. Of course, he also refused to go to the appointment.

The opening of the restaurant was carried out in an orderly manner. Because of Zhou Changsheng’s appearance, those who wanted to make trouble didn’t dare to act rashly. They could only line up obediently.

It could be said that Zhou Changsheng’s appearance saved the restaurant a lot of trouble.

“Head of the Zhang family, please!”

“President li, please!”

“Oh, patriarch Lu, you’re here too.”

“Yes, family head Huang. Aren’t you here as well?”

“Haha!”

…

In the most luxurious, exquisite, and largest private room on the second floor, the sound of lively chatter gradually came out.

When these people entered the room, they wanted to use this opportunity to build a relations.h.i.+p with Zhou Changsheng. However, they realized that other than the Presidents and the people from the four families, they did not see Zhou Changsheng.

Therefore, although these people were talking to each other, they were frowning slightly as if they were confused and dissatisfied.

Zhang Yuanbin walked in with a plate of fruit and said with a smile, ” family heads, presidents, please have some fruit!”

When these people saw the bright fruits on the fruit platter, their eyes immediately lit up.

However, there were still people who were not very satisfied and asked, ” shopkeeper Zhang, what do you mean by this? ”

Zhang yuanbin pretended to be confused and asked, ” Master Lu, what do you mean? ”

Family head Lu said, ” I’ll tell you clearly. We only agreed to this meeting because of Lord Zhou, but where is Lord Zhou now?”

When Zhang yuanbin heard this, he smiled and said, ” Oh, Master Lu, you’re talking about that. Didn’t Lord Zhou come here early? However, he’s probably reminiscing about the past with our boss right now.”

“Reminisce?”

Hearing Zhang yuanbin’s words, these people were surprised and confused.

Zhang Yuanbin explained, ” Oh, it’s like this, family heads and presidents. You should know that our Lord Zhou was transferred from An Ding County to Zhou Shan city, right?”

These people nodded in unison and replied, ” that’s right.”

“Our boss is also from An Ding County. In fact, Lord Zhou and our boss are just close friends.” Zhang yuanbin explained.

“So you’re saying that Lord Zhou’s relations.h.i.+p with your boss is close?” Otherwise, why would the head of an official in a city lower his status to accept a merchant’s invitation?

Zhang Yuanbin didn’t answer. He just smiled mysteriously.

Lin yuelan had told him not to hide the fact that she and Lord Zhou were acquaintances.

As for how familiar they were, it was all up to their own guesses and imaginations.

It could be said that Lin yuelan had never hidden anything from the public since the establishment of the restaurant. Zhou Changsheng was her strongest backer.

This would save her a lot of trouble.

Although some people said that the officials and merchants were colluding, Lin yuelan didn’t care. Although Zhou Changsheng cared, it was no longer something he could control.

After hearing Zhang Yuanbin’s explanation, the people in the room instantly fell silent.
