Volume 3: Courage to Move Forward Chapter 22: Change the City Lord
The most devastated at this time must be the sister-in-law Cuihua, since her husband's accident, she firmly believes that she must have encountered a water thief! Hu Hai must have died at the hands of the water thieves. ”
Hu Han held his mother's arm tightly, this kind of words were not the first time he had heard them, but Hu Kong's mouth was indeed disappointing.
Han Yi also looked at him incredulously, and began to recall the details of this matter, who could it be if it wasn't a water thief? No, why should Hu Hai die!
I didn't catch the core of my interests.
"It's not a water thief, it's an ancient mansion, right?" Gu Cai said in surprise, but it made Hu Kong nod.
Hu Kong sorted out the thoughts in his mind and began to explain the matter of Fairy Lake. "The so-called water thieves are actually played by Gufu, and the purpose is to clear Hu Hai's forces. ”
Gu Yi was suspicious of him, you must know that the previous mansion lord trusted Hu Hai the most, otherwise he would not have let him organize the Immortal Lake forces. "Why? Why did Gu Qian eliminate Hu Hai's forces?"
Everything has to have a beginning, and it's impossible to kill people for no reason, right?
"Do you know how big the benefits of Immortal Lake are?" Hu Kong looked at him with a sneer, "The money that Hu Hai earns every year is only five-tenths of the real benefits, and this five-tenths alone accounts for forty percent of the income of your ancient mansion." ”
This data may not seem to give people a great shock, but if you elaborate, if the income of the ancient mansion is one thousand gold coins a day, then four hundred gold coins are contributed by Immortal Lake.
You must know that there are many industries involved in the ancient mansion, including taverns, pharmacies, flower houses, shops and so on.
Gu Yi had never been exposed to the money and income of the ancient mansion, so he did not know how natural the benefits of the fairy lake were. "Why doesn't Hu Hai take all the benefits?"
"All the benefits? If you take away all the benefits, at least half of the families in the southern district will face bankruptcy, what can Hu Hai do if he takes the interests and hand them over to the ancient mansion? Can he protect the daily life of hundreds of poor families in the southern district?" Then he turned from helplessness to anger: "Your ancient mansion is powerful, let others do any dirty things, and leave a good reputation and honor for yourself." And what about my eldest brother, who is not a human inside or out, what can he do?"
Hu Hai can't take away all the benefits of the Immortal Lake, and he can't let all the people who eat by the lake go to drink the northwest wind, right? But if he doesn't take away all the benefits, his identity will be changed sooner or later.
"Gu Qian is dissatisfied with Hu Hai not being taken out of benefits, so he wants to replace his identity as the boss of the ship, so he is replaced by an obedient boss of the ship?" Gu Cai clenched his palms excitedly, with such a evidence, it depends on how Gu Qian refutes!
"For you, the lives of people like us are being used, and when we are done with them, we will be kicked away. Hu Kong gasped, "In this life, the most wrong thing I did was to believe in the ancient mansion..."
He looked at the ground with red eyes, and he still can't forget the way his eldest brother looked at him, the look of relief and relief.
Is it really that simple?
"Because I am a member of the Hu family, Guhe found me and asked me to replace the identity of the boss of Hu Haizhou. Hu Kongyue continued to speak, his face was like being burned, "Can I betray my eldest brother?"
"But Furukawa said that if I can't take the place of the eldest brother, then the eldest brother will definitely die. I agreed, even if I have a reputation for ungrateful betrayal, I am not afraid, it is better than the death of my eldest brother, right?"
"But do you know?" Hu Kong stared at Gu Yi stubbornly, as if as long as he was a person from the ancient mansion, he would slaughter it. "He lied to me, my eldest brother died, and I couldn't take his place. The fairy lake is in turmoil, and countless boatmen are persecuted by water thieves...."
The reason for this series of things is just that one person is greedy, Gu Qian wants to squeeze all the benefits of Immortal Lake, and some of the objects of squeezing are not even able to eat three meals a day.
If you want to say that he is cruel, but this is in line with today's market and the core interests of the current government and city. To say that he is a smart man? This is indeed very smart, not only to keep his reputation but also to make a profit.
But as he did these things, his conscience was like a bottle of water, gradually evaporated by the blazing sun. People are very clever and cunning, but they must not be without conscience.
Gu Yi's chest rose and fell a lot, and he was instilled with the idea that Fucheng will always be bigger than an individual since he was a child. But now, do you still need to maintain the ancient thousand?
On the contrary, Gu Cai, she has been very comfortable since she was a child, after all, she is a female streamer and no one teaches her any concepts. For her, this matter is a great opportunity to bring down Gu Qian. "Don't worry, we'll get it back for you!"
If this matter is widely publicized, it will definitely cause an uproar, and Gufu is the center of this whirlwind.
"Justice, Fucheng. Gu Yi froze and looked at the sky, he didn't know what to do for a while.
Han Yi, as the heir of the Han Mansion, naturally understands his current difficulties, if this kind of thing happens in the Han Mansion, no matter how high and upright he Han Yi is, he has to consider the future of the mansion.
"Actually, it's good to settle it privately..."As soon as Gu Yi's words came out of everyone's view, solving it privately means that the truth of the matter of Fairy Lake will not be released to the public.
This also means that the death of Hu Hai and the death of more than a dozen boatmen will forever be sealed in the dark, and there are only a few people who know.
Hu Kongxiao's crazy laughter was very heartbreaking, he wanted to change the fairy lake, but there was nothing he could do, when he could change it, he had to bury the truth.
Hu Han, who was only thirteen years old, looked at his third uncle and couldn't help shedding tears. Cuihua bit her lip and grabbed his hand tightly, for fear that the only loved one in the world would leave again.
"Guyi, the truth of the fairy lake can't be hidden, and it can't be hidden. Han Yi stood up and looked at him with firm eyes, as if he was about to go to battle. As the heir of the Han Mansion, he shouldn't say such things, but as Han Yi, he had to say such things.
Han Meng wiped the tears from his eyes. "Although the result is the same, this pair of Zishen City will be different in the future. ”
Because the matter of the fairy lake Gu Qian will fall, it is just a storm all over the city, or an undercurrent surging.
The advantage of the storm in the city is to prove to the world that the city rules of Zishen City are not decorations, and they greatly deter the rich who want to rely on squeezing out the poor people in the southern district.
If it is resolved in private, Gu Qian's face can be preserved and obediently withdraw from the position of the lord of the mansion, but everyone does not know the truth about Immortal Lake, and no one cares about the poor people in the Southern District.
"I can't defeat the honor of Gufu, because I am Guyi. He turned his back to look at the sky, how could the honor of the city be lost in his hands?
These two solutions had no effect on Gu Cai, because she just wanted Gu Qian to step down. "Brother, if we don't show up to participate in this matter, it won't be my honor. "It's a big deal to tell the truth about Immortal Lake, let Han Yi do it, and the two brothers and sisters will be behind.
But can Gu Yi not think of this method? Can Han Yi not think of it?
Gu Yi stared at it without opening his mouth for a long time, his face was full of tiredness. The answer he wanted was simple, that is, the honor of the ancient mansion would not be destroyed.
"Even if you don't participate, the honor of the ancient mansion will be gone. Han Yi smiled disdainfully. "Presumably, he has already made up his mind to seal the truth of Xianhu in the darkness forever. ”
"This is a family affair of our ancient mansion, and no one can be allowed to interfere!" Gu Yi was ruthless, grabbed Hu Kong and left the Han Mansion, during which no one dared to stop him.
You must know that the gap between the Han Mansion and the Ancient Mansion is not only in terms of financial resources, but also in the identity of Zishen City, and three Han Mansions are not worth one Ancient Mansion.
Hu Han finally collapsed at this moment, for a child, how can this kind of thing survive?
"Brother, is it just with him?" Han Meng's favor towards him was swept away.
Han Yi shook his head helplessly, if he wanted to say that his anger was only lower than Hu Kong, but how could he intervene?" "It's enough for our Han Mansion to protect itself. Then he suddenly thought of someone. "Just because we can't manage it doesn't mean that no one cares, it's just that it depends on whether that person is in the mood to take care of it. ”
Zishen City, the city house.
Jiangtian came to the gate of the city with such a swagger, waved his sleeves and shouted to the two guards at the door: "In Xia Jiangtian, I want to see Pingjing." ”
Without respect, it can be said that it is outspoken, and if it is an ordinary guard, it will definitely be taken down on the spot, and it will be imprisoned or even beheaded for the crime of insulting the city lord.
However, when the guards heard this person's name, they almost fell, after all, the name of Zijiangtian was too big.
Heikyo, who was sitting in the palace, was startled by a chaotic sound, and he knew that something was big when he looked at a guard outside the door who was in a cold sweat. "What?"
"There is a young man outside the mansion who said that he is Jiangtian and wants to see you, the city lord. ”
"Just him?" Heikyo knew that he would meet him sooner or later, but it wasn't at this time. "Could it be that the crisis in Dragon Vein City has been resolved?"
"He's alone. ”
"Tell the deputy master to set up the positions of the archers, and the crossbowmen to ambush them. "Naturally, Heikyo didn't think that he came here alone to solve the problem peacefully, after all, his deeds have never been peaceful.
Just in case, he has trained three teams of archers and one team of crossbowmen over the years, and it is not so easy to break into his mansion!
Pingjing sorted out his clothes and got up and walked to the door of the house, and looked at the young man at the door, white, clean, elegant and generous. "I'm Heikyo, the lord of Zishen City. ”
"In the next day, I want to talk to you. Jiang Tian bowed his head and smiled slightly. "You and I are both city lords, so there is no need to have too many ceremonies. ”
He is also the lord of the city, but now that Guyi City has been liberated, where did the city lord come from? Therefore, the words of the sky refer to the incident in Guyi City, so that Heijing can understand why he came to him.
"That's that, the city lord is only in his twenties when he is young, and he is really admired and admired. "Hiding a knife in a smile is the trick that Pingjing is best at playing, and it seems to be a compliment, but in fact, it means that serving as the city lord at a young age is just relying on people.
Jiang Tian chuckled and strode towards the house. "Actually, Zishen City is a pretty good place. There is a fiery desert in front and a beautiful fairy lake in the back. ”
"Could it be that Brother Jiang wants to be the lord of this Divine City?"
That's exactly what I mean. ”
