The reception ceremony takes place in the circular square in the center of the town.

There are about 20,000 people in the town, and there are probably no more than 10,000 people gathered in the whole square.

There are also various food stalls and toy shops around the square, and groups of children run from one stall to another.

The Su family, as the worshipper of the gray fog boss, has the right to sit in the front row.

But now he really wants no one to know him.

Who in the whole town doesn't know that the Gray Mist Demon Lord hasn't patronized the Ergou Workshop for a long time?

At this time, I'm afraid that many people are waiting to see the Su family's jokes.

"Happy New Year Uncle Qiang. Su Ding saw the bald uncle and said hello with a smile.

The bald head is a little surprised.

He smiled awkwardly, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he said, "Your father didn't come?"

"No, I'm back home. ”

Uncle Qiang shook his head and sighed: "Why are these two dogs so unreliable?"

He looked around, leaned over to Su Ding's side and whispered: "No, you can go back, I heard that the Liu family's wheel shaft said in the morning that this year's blessing gift will take the lead, and you two dogs workshop will look good." ”

Su Ding raised his eyebrows.

There are only three workshops in the town dedicated to the Lord of the Grey Mist.

The richest man, Wang Fugui, worships the demon lord but is not a gray mist boss, so he once dialected that whoever can get the biggest reward in the three workshops will be his supplier for the next year. ”

Liu's wheel axle is an old household in the town.

But after coming to the town from the Ergou workshop, the first position of receiving blessings was taken by Su Ergou alone.

Even if the Liu family's wheel axle and another steel workshop joined forces, it never shook Su Ergou's status as the first favorite man of the Lord of Gray Mist.

For this matter, the Liu family secretly stumbled, and even united with the merchants of the town to boycott the Ergou workshop, not buying the parts of the Su family and not providing raw materials to the Su family.

But Su Ergou is not an ordinary person, how can he look at a merchant in a dilapidated town.

Su Ergou went to the rich factory once, and no one knew what he said to the richest man, Mr. Wang.

But after leaving, Wang Fugui announced that no business in the town was allowed to maliciously boycott the Ergou workshop, and that they should compete fairly.

Fair competition?

Will the gray fog boss's favorite man be afraid of this?

Su Ding came back to his senses and thanked Uncle Qiang.

Unexpectedly, at this time, it was the creditor of the cheap dad who spoke for him.

Could it be that the debt owes the feelings?

In the middle of the circular plaza is a large lifting platform, which is located high enough to clearly see everything around.

The people who can sit on it are all the heads and faces of the town.

Su Ding and Su San came over and said hello to the workers below.

The worker pulls the gate, and the three pipes at the bottom of the lift platform spew a large amount of steam, and an elevator-like device comes down from above.

As soon as he came up, Su Ding saw people who looked at him with all kinds of eyes.

The ten elders of the town, Liu Dewang, the owner of the Liu family's workshop, Wang Ergang, the owner of the steel workshop, the stationmaster of the steam supply station, and the captain of the town's guards, most of them are limited to those who have heard of you and have not seen them.

Seeing Su Ding coming up, the old Xuantou Divine Doctor waved his hand in a full manner, signaling Su Ding to come over.

The old man picked up the teacup and put it on the shelf: "I asked you to prepare when I was eating at home last night, why did you come so late?"

Su Ding raised his eyebrows, when did you say that?

However, Su Ding immediately understood what the master wanted to say.

The point is not why you didn't come, but eating at home.

The old man is standing up for himself.

Su Ding immediately bowed his head respectfully: "I'm sorry Master, my fault." ”

Seeing that Su Ding understood what he meant so quickly, the old man nodded with satisfaction: "Just sit next to me, the second dog is not in you, you are the young owner, don't be too rude." ”

"Yes. ”

Hearing the conversation between the two, whispers suddenly came from the surroundings.

Everyone knows the relationship between Su Ergou and the old Xuantou, but isn't it the girl with a split personality?

When did this kid also apprentice.

Liu Dewang, the boss of Liu's wheel shaft, twitched the corners of his mouth, what if he apprenticed?

The blessing ceremony is a sacrifice, and it is the favor of the demon lord.

You are the illegitimate son of Master Wang's family, and you have to depend on the will of God.

On the other side, Wang Ergang, the owner of the steel workshop who had privately joined forces with Liu Dewang, had a changeable expression.

He is one of the largest suppliers of raw materials to the town, and whoever takes the lead cannot do without his side.

The previous promise to Liu Dewang was just angry that Su Ergou was usually arrogant and didn't get through accidents.

But now that the magic doctor in the town has made it clear that he wants to protect the Su family, is it worth offending them?

The world is complex, and the human heart is the deepest.

"Master, why didn't you tell me in advance about such an important matter as receiving the blessing ceremony?" Su Ding complained in a low voice after sitting down.

The old man snorted: "How did I know that your kid even forgot such an important thing." ”

"I have amnesia. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, but he forgot about it, he frowned and said, "So you didn't prepare a sacrifice either?"

Su Ding spread his hands: "I'll sacrifice my sister in a while." ”

"Huh. Su San let out an oozing sneer from behind.

Su Ding hurriedly shrunk his neck: "Do you have any sacrifices here?"

The old man rolled his eyes: "I'm not from the Lord of Gray Mist, of course I didn't." ”

"It's the end of the calf. ”

The two were muttering, and Su Ding heard someone below shouting that Master Wang was coming.

Looking ahead, I saw that several domineering steam locomotives were coming in the distance with a huge roar and black smoke and white fog.

The black-pressed crowd suddenly split to both sides, making way for the convoy.

There is no one else in the town who is so domineering.

Wang Fugui and Wang Lao are here.

At this time, Su Ding discovered an interesting phenomenon.

The convoy had just entered the edge of the square, and there were already people on the platform who stood up early and stood guard with a waiting appearance.

Eight of the ten elders, Liu Dewang and Wang Ergang all stood up.

On the contrary, the station manager and the captain of the escort team at the steam supply station did not respond.

"According to the requirements of the Dragon Kingdom, the local steam supply stations must be controlled by the government, and the steam supply stations have just been transferred to the name of the mayor. The old man explained in a whisper.

Su Ding understood.

A town of 20,000 people may seem inconspicuous, and the power disputes in it are not necessarily simpler than the court.

Wang Fugui is of course the most powerful boss.

But the mayor who only came to the town from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau last year to perform his duties is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It's only been a year, and the town's steam supply and escort have been firmly controlled, and even the taxes that were originally decided by Wang Fugui have begun to interfere.

There are many shallow kings.

The convoy was parked under the platform.

Su Ding got up, and the old man asked, "Why are you going?" ”

"Slap on the back. ”

Except for a few people sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, most of them were already standing respectfully at the elevator waiting to be greeted.

Not much, a large crowd came up.

The leader is a middle-aged man wearing a scholarly gown with an elegant face.

A kind and wealthy, but not too shrewd.

Confucian?

Su Ding flashed a trace of surprise, the legendary domineering Lord Wang was different from what he imagined.

Whatever, let's shoot first when it's comfortable.

Su Ding, relying on his youth and strength, rushed in first, grabbed the middle-aged man's hand and shook it vigorously: "Master Wang, you are finally here, and the people in our town are waiting for you to preside over the overall situation." ”

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and showed a strange smile.

There was an uproar.

I only heard the old man behind him cough and said dryly: "Criminal, this is the town chief." ”

Lying in the groove, the horse's fart slapped the donkey's hooves and went up.
