Chapter 146: City Lord's Mansion
Gao Wei also felt a faint trace of panic spreading in the city, but did this have anything to do with him? It was just a panic in the city, in the Tian Yuan World, Gao Wei had resisted the Blood Domain Soul Clan. In this small Ningfu City, is there anything else that can make Gao Wei panic? Beast tide? Could it be compared to the Eye of Death?
For Gao Wei, these may not be a big deal, but most of these cities are ordinary people. For these people, the beast tide is an extremely terrible thing. Although the news has not spread now, there are already some people who can't sit still. After all, Ningfu City is a fairly small city, and if something happens in the city, it is natural that someone will go to the city lord.
The city lord of Ningfu City, people seem to inadvertently ignore his existence on weekdays, but when something really happens, those so-called bigwigs in the upper echelons will still go to their city lord first. After all, the city lord is not an ornament, he is just too lazy to meddle in a lot of things, that's all. For some of the actions of those big families in the city, this city lord has always turned a blind eye, as long as it is not too much, it is up to them. But the power of this city lord is something that no one dares to ignore, and because of the existence of this city lord, Ningfu City has always been considered a stable situation.
The City Lord's Mansion is on the side, although it is still in the center of the city, but compared to those big families, it is already a lot cleaner. Unlike the Chen family's big family house, the house of the city lord's mansion is very ordinary, there are no decorative flowers and plants, just let some wild flowers and weeds grow freely, and there is a towering giant tree in the almost center of the courtyard, which looks very eye-catching in the courtyard.
"The Chen family lives in Chen Kun, who came to meet the city lord. ”
"Ni Tianyu, the head of the Ni family, visited the city lord. ”
"Huang Hong, the head of the Huang family, visited the city lord. ”
......
The big people in Ningfu City, the heads of those big families discussed it early, and chose to come to the City Lord's Mansion on this day to discuss the matter of the beast tide with the city lord. Ningfu City doesn't know how long it has been since he experienced such a terrible thing as hand-copying. At that time, there were no such big people in Ningfu City, and according to legend, the beast tide three hundred years ago almost wiped out Ningfu City. If it weren't for the action of the gods, Ningfu City would no longer exist. It took two hundred years to recover, and Ningfu City recovered little by little.
These bigwigs of the city stood outside the door of the lord's house for a long time, and the people who passed by were very surprised. These men were the number one in the city. In their minds, even the city lord should be afraid of these people, right? But today, these people are standing respectfully in front of the city lord's mansion. This not only made them think about what kind of person the city lord was?
The sun was rising higher and higher, and it was gradually noon. The heads of these big families had been waiting in front of the City Lord's Mansion for a full morning. Instead, he entered the city lord's mansion, but there was only one boy who looked like a servant to entertain these masters. The city lord is still nowhere to be seen.
Looking at the empty seats at the top, the heads of the family below did not have a trace of anger, but just a little helplessness. Bored to drink the tea that the boy brought to them, they chatted for a word or two, and then continued to wait silently for the arrival of the city lord.
The boy took advantage of the tea change to come to the front of a room, pushed the door and entered. He walked to the bed and whispered, "Grandpa, those guys have been waiting all morning." Would you like to meet them?"
"Aha!" sat up a slightly gaunt figure on the bed, this man was of average stature, with a languid face, and his hair was slightly gray and fluffy. Turning over and getting up from the bed, he yawned before he said leisurely, "Still waiting? I thought these people couldn't wait to leave!"
As he spoke, he sat up, put on his shoes, picked up a random piece of clothing and draped it over his body, and said while yawning, "Let's go, let's go meet these people!"
I didn't wash up, so I went straight to the living room to meet the big guys.
In the living room, some family members were already waiting a little irritable, but the heads of the Chen family, the Huang family and the Ni family on the side were still sitting there steadily, waiting patiently, they were embarrassed to express anything, so they had to complain silently in their hearts.
"I've been waiting for you!" a hearty laugh reached the living room before anyone appeared. After hearing this voice, the heads of the three families of the Huang family, the Ni family and the Chen family, who had been there all the time, stood up and said respectfully: "Welcome to the city lord!" When the other family leaders saw that these three families were like this, they also saluted respectfully, but secretly thought in their hearts: What kind of characters are we people who want us to wait here for so long.
Immediately after, a sloppy figure came into their sight. A piece of clothing casually draped on his body, with a pair of pajamas inside, a pair of shoes on his feet casually, and his hair unkempt, the image of a sloppy old man.
At the same time as he walked into the room, the city lord waved his hand casually and said, "Don't be so polite, just be casual, just sit down first!"
The three heads of the family who were sitting at the front glanced at each other, and a look of helplessness flashed in their eyes, and the three of them sat down, followed by the other heads of the family.
"You guys can just say anything about it. The city lord took the tea handed over by the boy, took a sip like an old man in the countryside, and continued, "Let's talk about things directly, let's save some effort, be direct!"
Chen Kun, the head of the Chen family, coughed lightly twice, and said: "The city lord has a beast tide in some villages around the city, and we are worried that the beast tide will expand. The two heads of the family on the side and the people sitting down also nodded in agreement.
The old city lord smiled faintly and said, "You people are all merchants, will you be so kind?" After a slight pause, the old city lord smiled and continued, "Tell me, how much benefit can you get from it this time?"
The air then quieted down, and Huang Hong, the head of the Huang family, said: "The old rule, we divide three or seven, the city lord accounts for thirty percent, and we only divide the remaining seventy percent!"
Some of the newly promoted people who are the head of the family raised their eyebrows, and the city lord alone actually accounts for thirty percent?
The city lord smiled slightly, glanced at the three family masters, and said, "If it was placed in previous years, it would definitely be fine, but not this year!"
