Volume 3: Courage Chapter 18: The Death of the Mansion Master
Sub-God City.
Since the new city lord took office, the reputation of the city has become better and better, which has attracted many merchants to be stationed in the city.
But what is the shadow behind the flowers?
This needs to be explored slowly little by little, maybe the last unknown or maybe the shocking secret?
"Thank you, boatman. He took out a bag of copper coins and handed it to him, and it was estimated that there were thousands of copper coins.
The boatman took the money bag and sank his arm, and he knew that there was a lot of money in it!"It's just that the ferry doesn't have so much!"
"No, thanks to you, I learned a different kind of thought today. Also, your ship has also been damaged by water thieves, and it should be repaired as well. "Turn around and leave, and enter the Zishen City.
The street is as lively as the ancient B City, and it looks like it is really developing rapidly. In a short period of time, a sub-god city that can't pay military salaries has developed into a city that can be compared with Guyi City.
Do you want to say that this new city lord Heikyo has himself, or is it that the power behind him is huge?
What is certain is that Pingjing is not stupid, he knows how to use resources very well, and the forces behind him also need him, just give him a certain amount of resources, anyway, what he gets must be more than he pays.
To say that the biggest difference between Zishen City and Guzheng City is that in addition to the size of the city, the division of the city is that it seems to be chaotic.
The area of Zishen City is about twice as large as Dragon Vein City, and about twice as small as Guyi City, so it is neither big nor big to say small.
The whole area is divided into the eastern district and the southern district, the eastern district is ruled by the military camp, and the merchants are also most willing to live in the eastern district. Another name in the southern district is the slums, and they resemble small traders or boatmen, coolies, hunters, etc., almost all of whom live in the southern district.
Entering the sky from the right gate is to step into the southern area, this place is not strictly managed, after all, there are many civilians and there is no oil and water to fish, naturally there is no troubled official eunuch to suffer here.
In a small alley along the street, a woman stands in front of a family with a child, whose face is full of anger and wants to smash open the wooden door.
"Third brother, now that your eldest brother is in trouble, won't you do something?" the woman yelled at the top of her voice.
This move also attracted other households to look at the alley, some watching the play with a smile on their faces, and some discussing in a whisper.
"Isn't this Boss Hu's daughter-in-law?
"Don't you know? Three days ago, her husband went to sea, and he hasn't returned. ”
"This boss Hu has done many hurtful things with the crew, and this will not be rewarded. ”
This place is the third road in the southern district, and there are two roads more than ten meters ahead, and one is one in front of it, and one is basically close to the eastern area.
These three courses are naturally the higher they are, the thicker the family background, and most of the people who can live in one place do not like to associate with the people of the three roads, after all, the price is dropped.
After having such a thought, the people of the three realms did not wait to see one, thinking that they were just beasts that ate meat and did not spit out bones.
When the child heard these words, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but unfortunately he was stopped by the woman and glared at him fiercely.
"My husband has never looked down on you or coveted your money, and if you want to hate you, you should hate the people in the East End!" said the woman through gritted teeth.
The woman's name is Cuihua, and her husband's name is Hu Hai, who holds the title of the boss of Xianhu, and has more than a dozen boats under his hands.
Because of this, Hu Hai's family is very wealthy, and they wanted to move to the Eastern District with certain conditions, but they didn't move because of the ideas of the people in the Southern District.
However, the management of the third and second provinces was too poor, so he moved into the first one, but he often went to the third road to visit his old friends and clansmen.
The family in front of Cuihua is a member of the Hu family, and the Hu family has a total of five brothers, but unfortunately three died, and only the third is left.
And the third child was deceived by a woman when he was young and had nothing, and finally fell on the word love, and once he had money, he went to the restaurant to be fanciful.
Hu Hai didn't say a lot before and after, at least he gave him 2,000 copper coins, but unfortunately he spent it all on women.
"Isn't Hu Hai the dog leg of the people in the Eastern District?
"Yes, Hu Hai can be so rich that he doesn't squeeze us, return our money and return our ship!"
One word aroused a thousand words, and a group of people from the three realms began to shout loudly, as if they wanted to crusade against Hu Hai.
"Obviously, you don't know what to do, you think about money all day long but don't pay for labor, no wonder you have been living in the three realms!" said the child with his hands clenched into fists, his eyes red and angry.
"What did you say, boy?!"
"The little kid is still teaching us, and your father will call me brother when he comes!"
"Tie them up!"
Crunch.
Hu Kong pushed open the wooden door and walked out, "You guys try it." His thin body stood in front of hundreds of people, and he didn't hold anything in his hand.
And none of the hundreds of people in the Three Paths dared to make a move, and even some of them had already left quietly.
Hu Kong turned his head to his sister-in-law and said, "I can't do anything about my eldest brother, this is the money he has given me over the years, you can take it and leave Zishen City." ”
The money bag was handed over to Cuihua, and it was estimated that there were about 3,000 copper coins.
"How can I go? My husband, your eldest brother doesn't even know how he died, and I can't see anyone dead or a corpse, how can I go!"
"He's dead, so get out while you're still safe. Hu Kou turned around and entered the wooden door, leaving Cuihua and the child behind, and the people of Sandao had already dispersed.
Cuihua pulled Hu Han out of Sandao and walked towards the direction of the Eastern District. She had already reported to the official once, but what she got was to be expelled, and now with 3,000 copper coins, she will definitely be able to make them pay attention!
Jiang Tian had arrived in the Eastern District a few minutes earlier, and now he was standing at the door of the Han Mansion. When I was in the Flame Desert, I was fortunate to meet the Han caravan, otherwise I would have died of thirst with the Void Spirit in the desert.
"In the Lower Dragon Vein City, I hope to report it. Jiang Tian said to the guard at the door.
When the guards saw the young man's outfit, they knew that they were either rich or expensive, so naturally they should not be lazy. "Please wait. ”
After a while, the guards walked out, and there was one more person beside him, it was Han Yi who was rescued by Jiang Tian that day.
"I don't know that the benefactor is here because he is negligent. Han Yi immediately invited him into the mansion, without his sacrifice to save him, he Han Yi would not have been able to stand in the Han mansion.
Jiangtian looked at the environment of the Han Mansion, which is a very simple temperament, surrounded by thick green trees, which looks very cool. "How are you doing?"
Han Yi shook his head and said, "Since the Flame Desert was sealed, our Han Mansion's economy has gradually declined. ”
"Blocked?
"Benefactor, aren't you here because of this?"
How can the heavens know the reason why the Flame Desert was sealed, only that this Pingjing actually attacked the Flame Desert that had been taken over by the Foxiao Pavilion. "Tell me about it. ”
"The city lord announced that the Foxiao Pavilion took the initiative to occupy the Flame Desert, and because it was closed without negotiation. ”
"Ridiculous without consultation. "This Pingjing doesn't dare to pull his troops too far, after all, Zishen City really wants to fight with the Foxiao Pavilion, and his strength is not enough. Therefore, the Burning Desert was sealed and all the troops were brought back to the city.
"Didn't you come here to discuss with the city lord this time?" Han Yi poured down a cup of tea. For him, in the end, the negotiation was successful, and the Flame Desert was finally opened, otherwise the Han Mansion would not be able to support it for too long.
"Let's settle this matter, and I'll stop by to see you. "Jiang Tian will not negotiate with him, what he wants to do is to directly replace the city lord of Zishen City.
As for who to let it serve, it is not up to the heavens to have the final say, but it is still possible to let Han Yi serve as the temporary city lord.
"Our Han Mansion has never caused trouble, and it is thanks to this that we have been able to have a smooth weather all these years. "Han Yi is popular and does good deeds, so the reputation is quite good in Zishen City. "However, the Gu family seems to be in trouble at all. ”
"What's the trouble?"
"Master Gu died suddenly last month, and there is no rule on who is the heir. The juniors in the ancient mansion are getting more and more fierce, and they beat people to death a few days ago. ”
"This city lord doesn't care?"
"I must take care of it, but I said that I couldn't catch anyone, so the matter went on like this. ”
"Can't catch anyone? Isn't it obvious that you don't want to take care of this?"
"That's right, now the ancient mansion is equivalent to an unstable artillery battle, which may explode at any time. Han Yi sighed, the ancient mansion is a very prestigious family in Zishen City. "It's also bitter Brother Gu Yi, who was originally a safe heir, and now he has to fight for it. ”
"Gu Yi has returned from the academy?"
"I'm back, I should be in the ancient mansion now. ”
Gu Yi has been in the Wangu Academy for two years, and he has naturally learned a lot of things, and his realm has also reached the third realm of Great Perfection.
As for breaking through the fourth realm, it basically depends on cultivation and chance.
"The ancient mansion should be the closest to the center of power, right?" Jiang Tian suddenly asked.
Asking this kind of question at this moment, Han Yi's eyes suddenly flashed, and he immediately grasped the key point.
"The Ancient Mansion is the most prestigious Mansion City in Zishen City, so I don't think they will be involved. ”
The meaning of the sky is explained by this: "Reputation refers to the entire ancient mansion of Fucheng, but whether you believe in reputation or not has nothing to do with Fucheng. ”
"I understand what the benefactor means! I don't trust the ancient mansion, but the ancient righteousness. ”
Ancient mansions.
The smell of mourning was permeated in the whole mansion city, and the gate of the mansion was pasted with a warning that outsiders were not allowed to enter, and the guards and maids in the mansion were all driven away.
Gu Cai has transformed from a little girl to a beauty, with a tall body and a black dress, which is extremely charming and can lead to a man's inner restlessness.
She didn't plan to go back to the ancient mansion, after all, the matter of the heir had nothing to do with the woman at all, but because her brother was Gu Yi, she still came back.
"Brother, there is no need to talk nonsense with them at all, with your Wangu Academy Academy and the Third Realm Great Perfection, you are definitely qualified to serve as the master of the mansion. Gu Cai Flame's lips bit down on the apple, and the apple juice slowly trickled down the corners of her mouth.
Gu Yi exhaled deeply, these conditions were enough to serve as the lord of the mansion, but his shortcomings were also obvious. "As the elder of the palace said, I am only twenty-eight years old and not enough to serve the public. ”
"The lord of the mansion is also really, knowing that he has no children under his knees, he has not set up an heir early. "Gu Cai didn't have a good impression of the deceased mansion master.
If the lord of the mansion has no children under his knees, according to the clan rules, the big pavilion guy will temporarily replace him, until the junior can support it and hand it over to the lord of the mansion.
However, in terms of the physical condition of the big pavilion, it is not easy to appear in the synagogue, let alone the tiring position of the lord of the mansion.
Gu Yi knows that age is only one aspect, his own experience is also lacking, and the overall overall situation is also insufficient. If you want to talk about the position of the lord of the mansion, he only has the strength to reach the standard, and nothing else is at all.
"The more the position of the lord of the mansion drags on, the worse the ancient mansion will be. ”
"Brother, you don't want that slut to be in charge, do you?"
"Is there anything else to do?"
