Liang Ping'an saw that the old gentleman was so enthusiastic, and he no longer needed to visit anyone else in the village. This was Wang Xiucai's last family.

The reason why I came to visit Wang Xiucai at the end was also the last and very important one.

Since Wang Xiucai's family is the last family, it is not impossible to have dinner at Wang Xiucai's house and then leave.

Of course, Liang Ping'an still declined: "Sir, the family has actually prepared food..."

But Wang Xiucai was very stubborn at this time, and directly took Liang Pingan's hand, as if he was afraid that if his hand was loosened, Liang Pingan would run away, and said:

"Just having lunch at the teacher's house. How many years have it been since you had lunch at the teacher's house?"

Seeing Wang Limin's persistence, Liang Ping'an took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, let's have dinner at the teacher's house!"

"Okay!" Wang Limin was obviously very happy.

In less than half an hour, Wang Limin's wife prepared a table full of dishes.

In Liang Ping'an's opinion, although there was a table of dishes, compared to Liang Ping'an's usual meals now, this kind of food was just average.

But Liang Ping'an hadn't eaten such home-cooked food in a long time.

After Wang Limin laid chopsticks first, Liang Ping'an picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with green peppers and put them in his mouth. The green peppers neutralized the oiliness of the eggs to a certain extent, and chewing them left a fragrant aroma in his mouth.

This smell reminded Liang Ping'an of the food he had eaten at Wang Limin's house when he was a child a few years ago, and also reminded him of the food he had eaten at his home in Xiashui Village.

It feels very nostalgic.

I and Wang Xiucai were talking about past events and eating a meal.

After eating, Liang Ping'an didn't dare to stay too long. After all, he was still thinking about going to the county government to deliver money to Huang Mingde.

So after Liang Ping'an had eaten, he told Wang Xiucai some interesting stories, and then said goodbye at the right time.

Wang Xiucai wanted to stay again, but Liang Pingan said that he had other things to do in the afternoon, so Wang Xiucai stopped trying.

Liang Pingan said goodbye to Wang Xiucai, and then walked towards his home.

After a while, he walked to the door of his house and walked in. He saw his family members were having dinner. Liang Tiesheng saw that Liang Pingan was back. He could guess that others had left Liang Pingan to eat, so he started the meal without waiting for him. At this time, he said:

"Are you still hungry? Eat some more at home?"

Liang Ping'an said with a smile: "I'm not hungry anymore, Dad, I have something to do in the afternoon and I have to go out soon."

Liang Tiesheng knew that his son was quite busy, and besides, his son was now in office and had his own ideas. Seeing this, Liang Tiesheng nodded, but still said:

"Those classmates of yours said that after the provincial examination, there will be the imperial examination and the palace examination in the capital. You must also prepare for it. Don't regard the selection of candidates as the ultimate goal, but have greater ambitions and ideals!"

Hearing his father talk in one way and knowing elegant words, he immediately understood that his father had assumed the identity of a gentry. I guess he had learned these words from the patriarch Liang Mingqing in the past six months.

Liang Ping'an immediately looked like he was being taught, then he bowed slightly towards Liang Tiesheng respectfully and said, "I understand, Dad, that kid will go first."

"Yeah." Liang Tiesheng hummed, obviously very satisfied with his son's performance and attitude in front of him.

But Liang Ping'an suddenly remembered something, so he turned back and said:

"By the way, where are my classmates?"

Liang Tiesheng said: "After they had eaten early, they said they were going to study. After all, they will be able to try it in two years. They said they wanted to study more."

When Liang Ping'an heard this, he immediately understood that although the three of them passed the Zhongzhou Provincial Examination, their rankings were not high.

If all the candidates from all over the country were to go to Yanjing to take the examination again, their chances of passing the exam would indeed be very small, so they would have to work harder.

Liang Ping'an returned to his room, changed into clean clothes, and immediately ordered Shang Shichen to drive him to Liu Yong's house.

Yes, Liang Ping'an is very rich now, but not all of his money is hidden in his own home. The so-called cunning rabbit's three holes, most of his money is outside.

Among them, only his confidants Liang Pingjun and Liu Yong knew something about it.

After a while, Shang Shichen drove a carriage to Liu Yong's house.

In Liu Yong's house, there are two hundred thousand taels of silver.

Of course, Liang Pingan has calculated his total net worth, which is at least over one million taels of silver.

Arriving at Liu Yong's house, Liang Pingan got out of the car. At this time, someone went to inform Liu Yong, and Liang Pingan strode towards the house where Liu Yong was.

When they approached Liu Yong's house, Liu Yong had already strode out to welcome him.

Liang Pingan and Liu Yong came to the house. At this time, Liu Yong had called their reliable cronies, twenty of them in total, and then moved Liu Yong's bed out of the room where he lived.

Then there was a floor tile under the bed. The floor tile was lifted up, and then a secret passage was revealed in front of everyone's eyes.

Then Liang Ping'an and the others entered the secret passage one by one.

After entering the secret passage, go down the stairs of the secret passage.

After a while, a large underground secret room appeared below.

In this secret room, two hundred thousand taels of silver are stored.

Liang Ping'an immediately ordered the men to carry ten large boxes up.

This big box contains a total of five thousand taels of silver.

So ten large boxes are equivalent to fifty thousand taels of silver.

After Liang Pingan asked his men to carry ten large boxes up, Liang Pingan and Liu Yong went up the last stairs again and went up to Liu Yong's room.

Then he made people restore everything in front of them to their original state.

Then outside, these trustworthy people were asked to load these large boxes into carriages. There were five carriages in total, and ten thousand taels of silver were placed on each carriage.

Then Liang Ping'an and Liu Yong also got on a carriage, a total of six carriages, and then set off and left Liu Yong's house.

Of course, it can't be just this few people. After leaving Liu Yong's house, at the gate of the house, there were 120 guards on horseback, all armed with weapons, and then they escorted the six vehicles

The carriage drove towards the village entrance.

Soon, the motorcade left the entrance of Xiashui Village and headed towards Ning'an Town.

——You have to pass through Ning'an Town before there is a carriage road leading to Xinxiang County.

Because this time they were carrying 50,000 taels of silver, Liang Ping'an's motorcade moved very slowly this time, only slightly faster than walking and running.

So it took almost an hour and a half before the convoy arrived at the county seat.

The motorcade passed through the county street again and finally stopped at the gate of the county government office.
Chapter completed!
