Chapter 10: The Situation of Maple Fall City

"Xiaomin Zhang Jingquan and 47 households in Xiaogang Village visited the general and thanked the general for saving his life!"

Hundreds of people walked up to Li Tang with the farm tools in their hands, kneeling down in gratitude, especially Zhang Jingquan, the village head, whose eyes were red, followed by a little girl with a delicate face.

Li Tang hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and helped Zhang Jingquan up: "Everyone, please hurry up, my name is Li Tang, I am the city lord of Fengluo City, and I will protect the safety of everyone's lives and property under my rule when I come to take up my post this time!"

"It turned out to be the lord of the city!"

"The city lord is here, but he's a little too young!"

"Our good days are coming!"

The villagers were talking in their ears, and they all had smiles on their faces, as long as the city lord was there, they could mobilize 5,000 garrisons in Fengluo City, exterminate the thieves around them, and restore Fengluo City to peace.

"See the city lord!"

The villagers who had just stood up fell to their knees again and shouted in unison, with some momentum!

Li Tang had no choice but to help the villagers up again and said: "Don't get excited, I know that you have been oppressed by thieves for a long time, so I will give you a chance today and let you avenge yourself!"

The more than thirty thieves who still survived were crushed to the ground by the guards, and when they heard Li Tang's words, their faces were full of despair, the evil they had done over the years, it was not an exaggeration to cut off their heads several times!

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

“............”

The villagers shouted in unison, roaring out of the anger in their hearts, and were very happy to see the thieves who usually bully people turn into meat on the chopping board!

"Okay, then I'll listen to the people's wishes and kill them!"

With a single chop, more than 30 human heads fell to the ground, drenched in blood, and sprinkled all over the field, washing away their sins!

"Finally dead, this group of thieves is finally dead!"

"We don't have to worry about it anymore!"

Many villagers hugged their heads and cried, crying with joy, and their hearts were filled with endless gratitude to Li Tang.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission, sheltering one side, and rewarding one hundred sense of achievement!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining the love of the villagers of Shangang Village and obtaining one hundred and thirty-four reputation points!"

This was the first time that Li Tang had gained prestige and achievement points, and when he saw the villagers who were grateful to him, he seemed to have a sense in his heart! Clear the goal of future development and be a beloved person.

............

Lunch is solved in the village, although it is not a rare dish, but the things that the farmer has, all the things on the table, with a strong local flavor, very delicious!

There is no political affairs at the table, just chatting about the historical heritage, customs, beautiful scenery, etc., in short, Fengluo City is located at the foot of Fengluo Mountain, famous for maple trees.

After the meal, Zhang Jingquan took Li Tang and Zhao Yun to his bedroom to make a bag of flower tea, and the rich fragrance of flowers covered the humidity of the room.

"City Lord, Fengluo City is not simple, the power in the city is held by the three clans, monopolizing half of the land in Fengluo City, sixty percent of the merchants, more than half of the people in the city are attached to the three clans, our Shangang Village because of the remote geographical location, the minions of the three major clans have not stretched out. ”

Zhang Jingquan said solemnly, he was blunt about Li Tang, the life-saving benefactor, and told the situation of Fengluo City in detail.

"Village Chief, tell me about the situation of the three major clans. Li Tang asked.

Zhang Jingquan nodded and said: "The three major clans are Su, Hong, and Yang, among which the Su family controls the textile industry in Fengluo City, and is also very famous in Qingtian County, and the county government is a family, and the Hong family controls the iron smelting industry, although there is no background, but the background is profound, it is a partner of the military, the Yang family controls the field industry, and is the largest landlord in Fengluo City, and the head of the family is the captain of Fengluo City, controlling the military power. ”

Li Tang knocked on the table, and kept thinking in his heart: "Textiles, weapons, grain and grass are all monopolized, this is not easy to do!"

These three major industries are all profiteering industries, and each of them affects the development of Fengluo City, especially since their relationship is complicated, and it will affect the whole body, and it will lead to big trouble.

"City Lord, I advise you to be the City Lord of Fengluo City, and you must have a good relationship with them, otherwise you will not be the City Lord for long. Zhang Jingquan advised.

"Well, I'm in my own hands. Li Tang didn't refute, nor did he nod, after all, it was the old man's heart.

The side of the couch does not allow others to snore!

If he wants to dominate the world, he must master Fengluo City and dominate Qingtian County, and the first step is to eradicate the dissidents of Fengluo City and eliminate the people of the three major clans.

Surrender, or die!

The next day, Li Tang was about to leave, and before leaving, Zhang Jingquan came over with his granddaughter and said, "City Lord, when you first arrived here, I want Xiuxiang to follow you and serve you as a maid." ”

"This is not good! You are old, someone will always provide for you, I will take Xiuxiang away, what should you do? And I will become the lord of the city, what happened yesterday will never happen again, and you don't have to worry. ”

Li Tang understood what Zhang Jingquan meant, yesterday's experience cast a shadow in his heart, and he wanted Xiuxiang to follow him, seek a future, and live a good life.

"No, the old decay is half cut into the ground, and there are neighbors to take care of, so you don't need Xiuxiang to take care of it. Zhang Jingquan immediately said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take Xiuxiang with me! If you miss her, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to see her. Seeing this, Li Tang agreed to Zhang Jingquan's request.

The reason why I took Xiuxiang was because when I went to Fengluo City, I definitely needed someone to do it, and it was impossible to do everything by myself.

Zhang Jingquan showed a hint of surprise on his face, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the great kindness of the city lord, Xiuxiang, you will definitely take care of the city lord in the future, do you hear?"

"Got it, Daddy!"

Xiuxiang's eyes were slightly red, and her tone was full of reluctance, she knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity for her to get out of the mountain village, and it was the result of Zhang Jingquan's pleading.

Zhang Jingquan nodded affirmatively, and watched Li Tang's convoy leave, disappearing into the morning and twilight, before returning to the house.

Shangang Village is more than 40 kilometers away from Fengluo City, but the front is an official road, and the road is smooth, so it takes more than an hour to come to the gate of Fengluo City.

The city is not high, only about ten meters, because it has not encountered a foreign enemy for a long time, so the soldiers standing guard are also lazy and lazy, and they look into the distance one by one.

It wasn't until Li Tang and they were more than 100 meters away from the city gate that they were discovered, and if they fought with the enemy army with such strength, it was estimated that the city would be ruined.

"Stop, who are you who dare to ride at the gates?" asked a captain at the gate.

Because there were not many people coming, only about thirty people, the lieutenant did not order the city gate to be closed, because the cavalry was not suitable for fighting in this environment.

"Li Tang, the new city lord of Fengluo City. ”

Zhao Yun handed over Li Tang's identity token, and the lieutenant guarding the city gate gestured for a while, and finally clenched his fists: "The last general will see the city lord!"
