Chapter 0974 - Don't Come?
Bai Qi pushed open the door and walked out, a strong and dazzling sunlight made Bai Qi hurriedly lower his head, and after a while, he opened his eyes and raised his head, the two strong men of the City Lord's Mansion next to him at the door were still guarding here, and after seeing Bai Qi come out, he hurriedly greeted Bai Qi.
"Young Master!" The two strong men were clenching their fists, their faces were full of excitement, and in addition to excitement, they also revealed a trace of fear, and they felt a dragon-like aura on Bai Qi's body, which was terrifying.
Bai Qi nodded at the two of them and smiled, "Thank you two uncles for protecting the Dharma." ”
"I was so worried that I didn't dare to call my uncle. When the two men heard Bai Qi call their uncle, their hearts were full of a sense of accomplishment, of course, they could never admit it, and they showed some sincere fear.
Bai Qi didn't say much, patted them on the shoulder, and motioned for them to go to rest.
"Young master, we are retiring. The two men glanced at each other, and both knew what Bai Qi meant, so they hurriedly clenched their fists and retreated, leaving the room and walking away.
Bai Qi stretched his waist, the warm sunlight shining on his body was very familiar, and after reaching the Yin and Yang Realm again, his heart was more comfortable, and for three or four days in a row, his soul was highly compatible with Bai Yuanhuan's body.
Bai Qi even felt that there could be two identities in the future, and if there were two skins, no one would find out.
Although the disguise technique is very clever, it will still show its greasy appearance in front of people with particularly strong strength, but if you use the skin, you will never find it.
After Bai Qi, you can try to switch back and forth between the body and Bai Yuanhuan, so that it will not delay anything, but it will be easier to do things by yourself.
"Young master, have you come out of retreat?"
Mingyue walked out of the next room with a basin of water, and after seeing Bai Qi standing outside the door, she was so excited that she almost threw away the basin, and ran towards Bai Qi in a hurry.
Bai Qi nodded at her, and then touched Mingyue's little head, her height was slightly lower, so she was even more playful and cute.
When Mingyue saw the young master touching her head, her little face suddenly flushed shyly, and she twisted aside and didn't dare to speak.
Bai Qi realized that his movements were a little excessive, so he immediately pulled his arm back, and then asked Mingyue, "Mingyue, how many days have I been in retreat?"
"The young master has been in retreat for three days. Mingyue folded her fingers and pouted in reply, she remembered it clearly.
"It's been three days, hasn't anything happened to the City Lord's Mansion in the past three days?" Bai Qi asked Mingyue again, although he also knew that something was unlikely to happen, he still asked.
Mingyue thought hard for a while, and then said: "The Lin family has been very honest since it was cleaned up by the young master, and I haven't heard of any news about the Lin family recently, but the old man is very worried about money now." ”
"What's the money?" Bai Qi frowned and asked Mingyue.
Mingyue shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Young master, I'm just a maid, how do I know so much?"
"Okay, I'm going to the front room, you go and help me clean up my room, thank you. Bai Qi instructed Mingyue to go to work, and then he walked towards the front hall.
Mingyue looked at Bai Qi in a daze until she left the courtyard, then she retracted her mind, pursed her lips to reveal some sweet smiles, and occasionally smirked, thinking that the young master had touched her head just now, and she immediately had a lot of emotions in her heart.
"Hey, Mingyue, are you a nymphomaniac?"
Suddenly, Caixia rushed out from her side, laughed loudly, and the frightened Mingyue's face turned pale, but after seeing that it was Caixia, she suddenly sneered at her and said: "Stinky girl, you dare to scare me, see if I don't beat you." ”
Mingyue was about to fight, chasing Caixia, and Caixia giggled and kept running.
Mingyue remembered it this time, the young master asked her to clean up the room, and immediately she gave up messing with Caixia crazy, and said with a proud face: "Don't be crazy with you, the young master asked me to clean up the room for him, hum, I'm hungry for you." ”
"Cut, I'm not going. Caixia smiled disdainfully, and then turned to leave, but there was a trace of gloom and helplessness in the corners of her eyes.
……
In the front hall, Bai Gang sat on a chair with a depressed face, tea was brewing next to the table, he hadn't taken a sip for a long time, he was in a daze, thinking about what to do with the money this time?
At this time of every year, he would worry about money and food, because of the weak position of the city lord's mansion, so the money and food could not meet the standard every year, which was also the reason why he had been the city lord of a small county town for five consecutive years could not be promoted.
Within Pan County, there are several families and guilds, and it stands to reason that they need to pay a certain amount of cultivation resources, that is, money stones, every year, in addition to food, in order to complete their obligations.
However, because of the existence and protection of the Lin family, he can't collect these money and grain with quality and quantity every year, unless it is some particularly small families and small guilds that can fear the deterrent power of the City Lord's Mansion and pay some money and food.
But even so, his indicators could not be met, at least four-fifths worse, so he would not be promoted every year, and his name was not on the list of officials.
Now that this is the sixth year, he feels that he is about to collapse, and he doesn't know what to do, this may be the consequence of deliberately showing weakness and not establishing a deterrent before, so that so many forces and families have no one to listen.
When Bai Qi was pondering in Bai Gang, he walked into the front hall, and saw Bai Gang with his chin on the side in a daze, Bai Qi took the initiative to greet him: "What's wrong? ”
After a few days of adaptation, Bai Qi could also call out this father with peace of mind, although the man in front of him had nothing to do with him.
"Huan'er, are you out of the customs?
Bai Gang was woken up by Bai Qi, and immediately his face was full of excitement, stood up, and asked Bai Qi.
Bai Qi waved his arm at him, making a gesture of strength, and immediately Bai Gang laughed.
"Good, good, good success. There was no loss in Bai Gang's heart, only pure excitement and relief, his son became more and more powerful, and he became more and more happy.
"Father, is something wrong?" Bai Qi naturally sat on the chair next to him, looking at the brewed tea aside, but he didn't drink it, Bai Qi took a sip of it, he hadn't drunk such mellow tea for a long time.
And after taking the first sip, Bai Qi can be sure that these teas are the tea that his Baifu is selling, which means that after he died, Baiguo and Baifu were open as usual and were not affected.
Bai Qi immediately thought of Hua Yun and Bai Xueyuan, both of them are brave and strategic, as long as there is harmony between them, Bai Guo will not have any big problems, he is just worried about whether Hualien Xiong will want to seize power with a gun after his death?
This kid is not a good person, the reason why he bowed his head to show weakness before was because the situation had to make him bow his head, otherwise the true face of Hualien Xiong should be the arrogant and domineering attitude of their Hualien clan when they first came.
However, since the tea can be sold normally, there will be no major problems.
With twelve main generals and thirty-six guards in charge, there will not be too many mistakes.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little thing. Bai Gang sighed, and then told Bai Qi about the matter with a wry smile.
After Bai Qi heard this, he could only shake his head with a wry smile, this was all caused by Bai Gang's lack of majesty on weekdays, and now these forces and families will not take Bai Gang in their eyes, so it is very difficult to collect the money and food.
"Did you give them a notice?"
"It's been two days, but the deadline has passed, and there are only two small families and a small hunting guild in Pan County who have paid money and grain regularly, and the rest is impossible for them to pay because of the existence of the Lin family. ”
"Lin family, how much do they need to pay?" Bai Qi frowned, looked at Bai Gang and asked in a deep voice.
Bai Gang frowned when he saw Bai Qi, he knew that things were not good, this kid was going to trouble the Lin family again, but he didn't plan to stop it, his son had the ability to beat Lin Tianlang before he broke through, and after this breakthrough, I was afraid that it would be even more so.
"Originally, the Lin family needed to pay 200,000 fire cold crystals and 100,000 catties of grain. ”
"Have they paid in the past five years?" Bai Qi continued to ask Bai Gang, Bai Gang knew what Bai Qi meant, so he shook his head and didn't speak.
Bai nodded and smiled: "Got it, leave it to me." ”
"Resend them a new post and ask them to come to the City Lord's Mansion before the afternoon to pay the money and food. Bai Qi put the teacup down, and then squinted his eyes, showing a hint of chill in his eyes.
"They're not coming back. Bai Gang smiled bitterly, he had already written.
"I'll write the post. ”
"Not coming? Bai Qi grinned gloomily, and the killing machine swept out all over his body, and the frightened Bai Gang's face couldn't help but turn pale, and he found that his son's momentum was more than twice as strong as when he didn't break through before.
It's amazing!
