Chapter Twenty-Five: The Moonlight Is Hideous

Under Mei Xiaohan's strong request, Yang Yuan finally made a concession and agreed to three of Mei Xiaohan's twenty requests.

One of them is the transfer of the power of officials to appoint and dismiss officials in the affairs of Kaiping County, Yongfeng County, and Yuancheng County.

Among the ten counties, Mei Xiaohan won three counties, and these three counties are the poorest counties in the entire Splendid City.

The three counties of Kaiping, Yongfeng and Yuancheng are connected, and there is a surrounding lake in the middle of the three counties, which is called "Bitter Lake".

As for why it is called "Bitter Lake", it is because these three counties are too poor.

Yang Yuan also took this opportunity to throw off the three counties and throw them to Mei Xiaohan.

Although he wants to change the political ecology here, Mei Xiaohan does not plan to directly change the candidates for the county leaders in these three counties, he wants to come to a private visit and conduct a thorough investigation of these three counties.

When the so-called meeting ended, Mei Xiaohan got a result that was not unacceptable to him.

Being able to get three counties out of ten counties is already the result of the biggest concession Yang Yuan has made.

Walking to the street, she didn't even sit in the official sedan chair, Mei Xiaohan took off her official uniform, changed into loose clothes, and walked to the street of Ningjiang Mansion.

Mei Xiaohan's new mansion is located in a secluded century-old mansion in Ningjiang Mansion.

The previous owner of the old mansion was the mansion of Ningjiang Mansion, which was a special official position in Splendid City, roughly equivalent to the official position of the county Cheng. Now it has become Mei Xiaohan's new house again.

"The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year!"

The old mansion has become mottled by the baptism of time, and many of the buildings have lost their new look, and it takes a lot of money to renovate them.

If it is not repaired, it will look like it has lost its style.

Under the moonlight, Mei Xiaohan was pacing back and forth under the old mansion alone. The moonlight is hideous, the shadows of the trees are spotted, and the shadows move with the wind.

When a person lives, he always has to do something, not to make a big thing, but at least to do something that he will not regret.

"Deal!"

In the journey of life, you will encounter many opportunities, but also encounter many unsatisfactory things. And some are accidents, accidents that are difficult to predict.

Under the shadow of the moon, a figure slowly passed by, and Mei Xiaohan was startled. While he was stunned, the dark shadow had already reached behind him.

"Since there are people, then come out!"

After the sound of squirming, an old man staggered out, his face pale.

With a plop, the old man knelt on the ground and said, "Meet Deputy City Lord Mei!" ”

"The villain has been waiting here for a long time, so he borrowed the mansion of Deputy City Lord Mei to meet!"

Mei Xiaohan said: "Old man, you don't have to be so polite, it's just... You and I don't know each other, do you have anything to do with me? ”

The old man said: "I am the housekeeper of the original mansion of this old mansion, and I don't hide it from the deputy city lord of Mei, I have grievances to sue!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "Since you have a grievance, you shouldn't go to the lobby to complain, why did you come to me?" ”

The old man said: "There is no one in Splendid City who doesn't know Mei Gongzi, Mei Gongzi is righteous, and the rivers and lakes call you timely rain." ”

In "Water Margin", Song Jiang is called timely rain, but Mei Xiaohan doesn't want to be a person like Song Jiang. Because good people don't end well, not to mention Mei Xiaohan doesn't think Song Jiang is a 100% good person.

Mei Xiaohan said: "I came out of your land, and I don't know much about the folk customs here. ”

Mei Xiaohan didn't want to get involved in any disputes too early, and Mei Xiaohan didn't completely take what the old man said.

Mei Xiaohan said: "Please leave here, don't appear here again in the future!" ”

Mei Xiaohan didn't want to deliberately show a feeling of being a good person, he needed time to understand everything about Fairview City.

"Look at who I am!"

The old man's voice was low but deep, but it was very penetrating, but what he said attracted Mei Xiaohan's interest.

Although it was difficult to distinguish under the moonlight, Mei Xiaohan could still tell who this person was, but she couldn't remember the name for a while.

The old man said: "Deputy City Lord Mei, I'm afraid I don't remember the old decay anymore!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "It's familiar, but I can't remember it for a while!" ”

The old man said: "I am a gourd immortal!" It's hard to put into words! ”

When the person said that he was a gourd immortal, Mei Xiaohan suddenly felt very bloody and said, "Do you want to cheat your father?" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "There are some things that I still haven't figured out what is going on, if you are really the so-called gourd immortal, can you answer me!" ”

The old man laughed and said, "I was just joking with you just now!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "Your joke is too big, it makes me feel the urge to kill you!" ”

"But... Are you really a gourd immortal? ”

"Not bad! I am indeed a gourd immortal! ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "Didn't that gourd of yours break by itself?" How did you get here again? ”

Hulu Immortal: "Life is originally a big joke!" Crying to come, crying to go, how boring! ”

"Interesting, did you immortals also come to this world crying?"

The gourd immortal said: "The real game is about to begin!" ”

The words that suddenly came out of the gourd immortal made Mei Xiaohan very puzzled, and said, "What game has started?" ”

Those people who were scattered all over the country after crossing over, as well as the things that Mei Xiaohan brought that were enough to reform this era, those talents and equipment, have now been buried deep in the land of the Great Song Dynasty like seeds.

New sprouts will open up one after another!

Things that change this era will also emerge one after another!

This is an unstoppable force, and everything Mei Xiaohan saw was just some scattered chess pieces.

"You're terrible!"

Mei Xiaohan suddenly felt that the old man in front of her was so unfamiliar.

"What exactly is your purpose?"

Hulu Immortal said: "Life is a long journey, your first task is to defeat Yang Yuan first!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "You want to change history?" So lend me a hand? ”

Hulu Immortal: "You have finally comprehended this layer, from this point of view, you are not stupid!" ”

History is history, and no one is qualified to change him, even if you are an immortal from above.

The gourd immortal said: "The moment you pick up that little gourd, everything has changed, history has changed. ”

Under the moonlight, Mei Xiaohan felt a little dazed, and said, "You play with me back and forth like this, are you tired?" ”

At this moment, Mei Xiaohan felt as if she had been insulted like never before, and she felt like life was worse than death when she was being played with at will.

At this moment, Mei Xiaohan hopes so much, everything he has experienced is just a dream, and when he wakes up, he can still return to the familiar environment and see the person he wants to see.

But this dream could not wake up, and was dragged into the whirlpool of history, becoming a fleeting wave in the long river of history.

The gourd immortal patted Mei Xiaohan's shoulder, and at this moment his appearance changed again, this is a haggard face.

"Child, everything I do is just to sharpen you, so as to get rid of your arrogance and arrogance, and I hope you can complete my unfinished business!"

Only by experiencing joys and sorrows can we experience the difficulty of reunion, and only by experiencing loneliness and loneliness can we know the beauty of prosperity. Time is reversed, fate turns, and everything familiar is gone.

"Kid? Who are you and why do you call me a child? ”

Hulu Immortal: "My name is Dao Xuan, and I am your master. ”

"Since you are my master, why don't you have the surname Mei but the surname Dao, what tricks are you going to play?"

Hulu Immortal said: "Dao Xuan is my Dao number!" ”

"Why don't I remember what a master I had?"

The gourd immortal said: "Because I am your master in your last life!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "Okay! I believe everything you say, as long as you're happy! ”

The gourd immortal said: "Young man, it's okay to be serious!" What I'm saying is true! ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "What I said is also true, I have to believe that it is true!" ”

The gourd immortal laughed twice and said, "Mei Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time and you still haven't changed, and your temper is still so explosive!" ”

"I really thought you were dead!"

The gourd immortal said: "I don't die so easily, I am old and immortal!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "It turns out that immortals mean old immortality!" ”

"What the hell are you looking for me?" Mei Xiaohan said very seriously.

The gourd immortal said: "Should I call you Master Mei now, General Mei or Master Mei?" ”

"Please!" After that, Mei Xiaohan pointed to the courtyard in front of her and said, "Let's talk in the house!" ”

Entering the house, Mei Xiaohan politely let the gourd immortal take a seat.

Hulu Immortal said: "What kind of plans does Mei Gongzi have in the future?" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "I have to ask the immortals for more guidance, people have to bow their heads under the eaves!" ”

Mei Xiaohan was a little dissatisfied with the gourd immortal in front of him at the moment, and what the gourd immortal did was no different from a charlatan in Mei Xiaohan's eyes. The feeling of being suppressed is very uncomfortable.

The gourd immortal said: "Mei Gongzi is now in a high position!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said: "My position is high and low, you don't know this!" ”

Although Mei Xiaohan is the deputy city lord of Splendid City, he does not have much actual rights, and Mei Xiaohan also knows this.

What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiating table! This has been true throughout the ages.

"Want to get... It must be relied on by force! ”

"Force?"

Mei Xiaohan hasn't considered this issue yet, at least not yet. He didn't think about an open confrontation with Yang Yuan, at least not yet.

Hulu Immortal said: "Whether you can control Splendid City and become the true master of the entire Splendid City is the first task you have to do next!" ”

Mei Xiaohan said twice: "What is the second task?" ”

The gourd immortal said: "It's the so-called... Heaven is indispensable..."

"Don't leak it!"

Hulu Immortal said: "When you have enough chips in your hand, you are qualified to ask me what the second task is!" ”
