A fat man accepted fifty silver taels from several individuals who wished to enter a restricted area. He attempted to bribe a soldier with the money, but the soldier was hesitant due to strict inspections. The fat man then claimed the money was for tea and that he was only bringing relatives to look around, implying they might become property owners. The soldier eventually agreed, pocketed the silver, and assigned someone to follow them.

At this moment, when everyone looked at this fat person, the expression in their eyes changed again, filled with awe and respect.

No one had expected that this guy could actually bring them in; this is not something just anyone can do.

You must know that these soldiers usually would not even glance at them. They had considered giving these soldiers some silver, but the soldiers’ attitude was very clear: they didn’t want it.

Of course, the reason they didn’t want it was entirely due to fear of being caught.

And this fat person was evidently already a familiar figure, that’s why they took his silver and decided to turn a blind eye.

They were afraid of these soldiers too, afraid they would report them later. If this matter were reported to the higher-ups, they would definitely face consequences.

It is precisely because of this reason that the fat person now put on a little act.

It can be said that now everyone looks at the fat person with a different expression, filled with admiration, even those wealthier than him.

Even the target chosen by the fat person felt the same admiration, looking at him with true respect.

If it were them, they definitely couldn’t accomplish this, couldn’t move these soldiers to let them in.

Anyway, without much talk, everyone naturally followed the fat person towards the door.

But the fat person was particularly discreet this time, only bringing three people with him to go there, instead of a large group.

Among these three people, one was specifically chosen by the fat person, and the other two were also chosen among the wealthier ones.

The wealth of these people exceeded that of the fat person, which was why he chose them. After all, they spend money without batting an eye.

Especially when it comes to several thousand taels of silver; though it pains them, it’s not a big struggle. If it were the other small merchants, even two hundred taels would cause them to stall forever.

Such people are definitely disregarded by the fat person now; at least for now, he’s ignoring them. After all, he’s waiting for the truly rich ones whose future targets have not yet been defined by the fat person.

Because the fat person knows the house prices here will continue to rise. At that time, these small merchants will have no opportunity, and more and more large merchants will notice this area. That’s when the real money-making begins.

Because of this, the fat person doesn’t need to leave a good impression on them; making money is the end goal.

If it weren’t for the fact that the fat person currently has insufficient funds and lacks silver on hand, he wouldn’t choose to sell his house and wouldn’t bother with these three people.

After all, these three also fall within his reference range, but are not truly regarded by him. Because now is a special period, he’s just looking to make as much as he can, hence this current action.

Moreover, as the fat person approached the door, the soldiers very consciously turned their heads to look to the other side, as if they hadn’t seen them, allowing the three to walk inside, which further shocked the crowd outside.

The three people behind the fat person were originally very uneasy and nervous, fearing the soldiers would stop them and prevent them from entering, which would be quite embarrassing.

But no one expected the current scene to unfold as it did.

Essentially ignoring them, this allowed the three to breathe a long sigh of relief as they passed through the entrance,

silently admiring the fat person’s skill, while thinking they must align themselves well with him, not for anything else but because just this capability of his explains everything.

The fat person’s ability is not something an ordinary person could achieve.

Without exaggeration, this capability means earning a few hundred taels of silver daily is an easy task. As long as he brings a few people in each day, those hundreds of taels fall easily into his hands.

Moreover, although high-ranked soldiers need silver to smooth things over, they absolutely won’t need to do it every day. As long as they’re adequately satisfied, he can bring in whomever he wishes, charging each entry a dozen or twenty taels of silver, amounting to a considerable sum.

At that point, within half a year, this fat person’s net worth will definitely surpass theirs, and it’s something they can’t emulate.

This also makes these people envious of the fat person, but of course, they realize how challenging the situation actually is for him.

These soldiers can give him face once, but whether they will give him face a second time is uncertain,

Even if he holds silver in his hand, it’s unsure, for who knows what these soldiers experience every day?

Perhaps tomorrow they won’t be stationed here anymore?
