Chapter Fifty-Four: The City Lord

Smack!

Governor Chen, who was angry, threw the inkstone on the table to the ground.

Even the second daughter Chen Sidi, who was on the side, hurriedly and silently retreated to the side, she knew very well that not being able to give birth to a son was the last thing that a father could not mention.

"Uncle, stop your anger!"

Chen Sizhou also looked angry and scolded, "Hu Yanzhi, this old fox, is really too bad. Please rest assured, my nephew will draft a notice and post it, indicating that our prefect's yamen has nothing to do with this matter......"

However, Governor Chen waved his hand with a very unhappy face and said, "No need. ”

"Why? Could it be that what he Hu Yanzhi said was what he said? If we didn't defend it, the people all over the city would really think that this was the case. Chen Sizhou said unevenly.

But Governor Chen suddenly sneered and said, "Then do you think it is useful to issue a notice to defend yourself? If it is useful, why should he Hu Yanzhi pretend to be crazy and stupid and beg God for forgiveness......

"Huh......? Uncle, what are we going to do? We can't sit still here, can we?"

Chen Sizhou, who has not been deeply involved in the world, really feels tired, so tired of being a man, and even more tired if he wants to fight with others for officials.

Especially during this period of time, following his uncle Chen Yonglian, he often needs to take one step and look at three steps, and when judging other people's practices and behaviors, he cannot just look at the surface, but also analyze the internal connections and possible motives.

"What else can I do? Let's go! Let's go to the gate of the mansion with this official to apologize to the people!"

Chen Yonglian also tore off his hair bun, made his clothes ragged, and deliberately dipped his hand in the ink that had been knocked over on the ground and wiped it on his face a few times.

"Uncle, what are you doing here? You must not! You are the prefect of Jinling City, who was personally appointed by the monarch, how can you do this to yourself and apologize to those common people? Besides, I ...... What sin are we guilty of?"

At this moment, Chen Sizhou felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, this uncle who was admitted to the Jinshi and served as a prefect on his own side has always been Chen Sizhou's idol and motivation for his efforts.

In his opinion, as an official, he should have basic bearing and majesty, how can he be like a clown jumping off the beam, deliberately practicing himself, and "acting" in front of those vulgar people?

However......

Chen Yonglian turned his head and smiled, and said, "Why not? What he Hu Yanzhi did, I Chen Yonglian did the same." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Yonglian tore his clothes a few times and walked quickly to the door of the house.

"Fun! fun...... It's fun. ”

The second young lady Chen Sidi giggled happily, her father, who has always been serious, looks like this today, which is indeed rare!

"Why? Why do we need to ...... like this?"

Chen Sizhou looked at Chen Yonglian's back and fell into deep incomprehension and thinking.

Like the city lord Hu, when he opened the door of the mansion, the prefect Chen Yonglian also possessed his body, and confessed and prayed to the heavens with a weeping face.

That miserable, that serious, that sincere......

Let the people who rushed over to denounce feel that the prefect is a little too pitiful?

There were even a few strong men who stepped forward, sympathetically wanting to invite Governor Chen to their house to visit and learn how to have a son.

After all, these men gave birth to several sons.

......

On the other side, City Lord Hu also pulled Governor Chen's mansion into the water, and his heart was a lot happier.

However, this is not his purpose, after fully arousing the sympathy and understanding of the common people, the city lord Hu prayed to the heavens more seriously: "Benjue knows that he has sinned deeply, but the sin is not as good as the people of the city, I beg God to let Lord Xianjun perform another miracle and save the people of the city!"

Ooh!

This last sentence can be regarded as to the point.

City Lord Hu relied on this sentence and kicked the "ball" back to Tang Can.

That's right, all the previous cognacy and acting, Lord Hu threw the problem of solving the smell back to Tang Can again for this moment.

Hehe, don't you Tang Can just want the people to think that this stink is a curse, brought by me Hu Yanzhi?

Okay! I didn't even explain it, I just recognized it.

Not only did he admit it, but he also prayed sincerely to the heavens for forgiveness and prayed, everything that should be done was done, and now it is your turn to show off your skills!

If you want to avoid the serious, you can avoid this problem, there is no door, Hu City Lord is very treacherous in his heart, just after Tang Can can't save these ordinary people and the reputation of the Immortal Monarch is lost, he can use this to publicize that Tang Can is a fake Immortal Monarch, and he can raze the Tang Mansion in a moment.

Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, the common people suddenly realized that the final solution to the root cause of the smell was Tang Can, the "Immortal Monarch of the World", to take action!

Moreover, in their eyes, the two noble adults, City Lord Hu and Governor Chen, had already realized their mistakes and prayed to the heavens for forgiveness.

So......

In a hurry, a large number of ordinary people returned to the Tang Mansion.

"Uncle, it seems that although Tang Can is cunning, he is still a step ahead of you......!

Seeing this series of manipulations by City Lord Hu, his nephew Hu Haiquan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Don't worry! Since Tang Can can think of this method, then ...... He must have a way to deal with it. City Lord Hu said calmly.

Hu Haiquan was not calm, and exclaimed: "It's all like this, how else can Tang Can escape and act? Is it difficult, he will say it directly...... Won't this immortal monarch cure this stinky nonsense? I'm afraid that when the time comes, we won't need to do it, and the people all over the city will tear him up as soon as possible......

Tang Can wouldn't be so stupid to shirk, the biggest possibility, he would deal with this matter first, and then said with a look of embarrassment that it is not difficult to solve these smells, but some special conditions or items are needed. And these conditions and items definitely need to be provided by our City Lord's Mansion...... In this way, he can again transfer the contradiction to our side......"

His eyes were full of wisdom, and City Lord Hu looked in the direction of the Tang Mansion in the distance, and said with disdain at the corner of his mouth.

"Huh......? Uncle, come like this. Tang Can will definitely mention some very difficult conditions, or...... It's simply impossible to do it. What should we do?" Hu Haiquan exclaimed.

In order to win the trust of these ordinary people, Tang Can will definitely not mention the kind of conditions that cannot be done at all. Most likely, it is some item or condition that I can't let go of but can do, so no matter what conditions he proposes, I will do what he says for the time being. Then, I'm going to take a look...... How did he save the people of this city? ”

At this moment, Hu Yanzhi felt that this kind of estranged move between himself and Tang Can was like two chess players arranging their troops.

But he has always held the initiative and the upper hand, and is forcing Tang Can step by step into a desperate dead chess with no way out.

After all, he had let Hua Ding, a disciple of the medical king in the palace, see it, and the smell of the mountain in this treasure house was very peculiar, and it had never been recorded in the [Medical King Yaoding].

Even if it is Huading Needle for a while, it will not be able to formulate a prescription that can cure the effect of the smell, and the city lord Hu will not believe it...... Can Tang Can have this ability?

......

However, on the Tang Mansion's side, when Tang Can received the news of the change in the situation on both sides of the City Lord's Mansion and the Prefect's Yamen, he couldn't help but be happy.

These two old foxes are not only very scheming, but also have the same acting skills and IQ as online.

Especially the city lord Hu Yanzhi, he didn't despise Tang Can at all, but acted cautiously step by step, not only resolving the crisis perfectly, but also kicking the ball back.

"Can'er, this, this, this...... Did City Lord Hu and Governor Chen really 'confess'?"

Tang Xun's scheming could not reach this depth, so he was very amazed that the two of them, Hu City Lord and Chen Zhifu, did not even have the slightest excuse, and directly confessed their guilt, which was really a bit too incredible.

But in fact, this is what people often talk about "forced by the situation", you can't just see the appearance like those ordinary people, and understand it as "Tang Can said that it was the city lord Hu who offended the old genius and sent the curse, and the city lord Hu readily confessed his guilt."

Instead, we should see the real "exchange of interests" and "swords and swords" under the surface, just like in modern officialdom, there are many struggles for power and profit, open and covert struggles, and those civil servants who have not brought their brains to the unit cannot see it at all.

Only every once in a while, I suddenly sigh with emotion, "Huh, why has so-and-so leader been promoted again?" or "Ah! Why did so-and-so retire early before he reached retirement age?"

In the midst of this kind of power struggle and various conspiracies, every move that everyone does on the surface is actually a response that takes into account the overall interests and the possible reaction of the other party.

"Now the people outside the house are clamoring for us to save people again, Can'er...... What's next, what should we do? Save people now?"

Although Tang Xun was surprised, he did not panic at all.

Because of the cup of tea that Tang Can gave him just now, after drinking it, he couldn't smell the smell at all, and immediately knew that Tang Can was a bamboo in his chest, and he was fully capable of really curing the people of the city.

It's just that when will it be cured, and this time will ...... It is necessary to think carefully and grasp it.

Sure enough, the corners of Tang Can's mouth curled slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "It's not a hurry now, I heard that our Hu City Lord is an iron rooster who can't pull out a hair, this time ...... Anyway, we're going to have to get him to change his temper......"

Tang Can came to the gate of the Tang Mansion, and as soon as the ordinary people outside saw him appear, they knelt down and kowtowed again, shouting "Xianjun help" and something like that.

Tang Can continued to possess the actor, and pointed to the well in front of his mansion with a face full of embarrassment and said: "It's very simple to save everyone, the well water from this well at the gate of my Tang mansion, as long as you drink it, you won't be affected by this smell." It's just that, in addition to the well water, there must also be a medicine to induce ......"

Speaking of this, Tang Can deliberately paused, seeing that the tens of thousands of ordinary people were all looking at him, their eyes were full of hope, and they were eager to know what Tang Can said about the medicine primer.

"Because this heavenly punishment was caused by the city lord Hu, it ...... The medicine is a hair of the city lord of Hu. As long as you use a hair of the city lord Hu and drink it with the well water, the medicine will be cured in an instant, and you will never be disturbed by such a stench in the future. ”

......
