Chapter 5 Merge the state, Qianmo wine shop
Bingzhou is located in the hinterland of Qi in the Western Regions, bordering Jingzhou, Liangzhou, and Youzhou, and has a space circle to go to Pingdu, so it has naturally become the most prosperous state city in Qi. And it is precisely because of the people and horses here and there is an endless stream of people, and the state has become a must for many businesses. Every merchant has tried all means just to occupy a piece of land in the state, and as the pastor with the most power in the state, he has naturally become a sweet spot in the eyes of the merchants. Everyone knows that as long as they curry favor with Jingzhou Mu Zuowu, the territory is not a problem.
On the most prosperous street in Bingzhou, there is a magnificent mansion, the vermilion gate reveals the slightest ancient charm, the colorful glazed tiles reflect the brilliant light, the pavilions and pavilions are scattered, and the small bridge and flowing water are chic. This is the mansion of Zuo Wu, the most powerful person in the city.
Zuo Wu, who was the pastor of the state, was originally just an inconspicuous branch of the Pingdu Zuo family, but after the new emperor ascended the throne, the Zuo family was greatly valued. Although Zuo Wu has no talent in cultivation, he is ruthless and scheming. It was precisely because the old men of the Zuo clan took a fancy to him that they asked him to manage this big fat piece. And Zuo Wu did not disappoint the clansmen, and the wealth and treasures he gave to the family in the past three years greatly satisfied the rulers of the Zuo clan. And Zuo Wuzheng also squandered the remaining money with the money that had been handed over. He knew that he would never be able to enlighten his soul, so all the money he got was spent on his extravagant life. In the three years of his tenure in Bingzhou, he enclosed 200 acres of land in the name of the government to build his own private mansion, and accepted more than 20 concubines on the surface, and ate and drank in his mansion all day long, which was very happy. Zuo Wu didn't care about the big and small things that happened in Bingzhou City, he was not afraid of public anger or official resentment, because he understood that his surname was all his capital, as long as he fed the old men in the family, everything would not be a problem.
It's just that Zuo Wu was a little unhappy at this moment, and he found that there were some flies that dared to provoke tigers. "Are you sure he doesn't pay attention to the official's orders?" In the main hall of Zuo Mansion, a fat man with an oily face, five big and three thick was lying on a chair and squinted at the two people in the hall and snorted, this person is Zuo Wu, beside him, two beautiful maids stood on either side of him and gave him a constant shoulder beat.
"Your Excellency, exactly. I showed him the official documents of the government, and promised to give him five hundred taels of gold as compensation, but he was still stubborn, and even after I explained that I was the housekeeper of the Zuofu, he actually let his stupid little er kick me out. The middle-aged man with a white face and a thief's eyebrows said angrily, "Does he take the rules of my Zuofu in his eyes." ”
"Yes, my lord, the old man of the Qianmo wine shop is of unknown origin. Five years ago, he somehow made the original owner move out and occupy the land. It's really disrespectful to not even take adults in their eyes now. Standing next to the housekeeper of Zuofu is a man in brocade, he is short, but his eyes are flashing with bursts of light, at a glance is a treacherous person, this person is the famous "dwarf fox" Yin Jie in the city, as the owner of the largest restaurant in the city of Bingzhou, "Jiecai Restaurant", he was just an inconspicuous restaurant Xiaoer, but because of the bizarre fire in the restaurant where he was, except for him, everyone else died, and he who survived opened the "Jiecai Restaurant" Since then, he has begun to annex other restaurants by unscrupulous means, as long as he comes to the land he likes, there is nothing he can't get. Only this time he hit a hard bone.
"Okay, this official will naturally not care about your benefits, but after all, this official is the parent official of the state, and I am really inconvenient to come forward. Zuo Wu interrupted Yin Jie's words impatiently, "However, it is unforgivable that untouchable person dares to disobey the decision of his own official." Since he doesn't listen to good words, let's do something hard. I believe that you are better at this than I am, you just take care of it, and I will handle the rest. ”
Hearing Zuo Wu's words, Yin Jie couldn't help but be overjoyed, he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and retired with the housekeeper. He naturally understood what Zuo Wu meant, in this world, there are still many things that can be bought with money, such as human life. Since the Qianmo wine shop with the owner can't be obtained, what about the ownerless one? When leaving Zuofu, Yin Jie didn't forget to give the housekeeper a piece of Nanchu's beautiful jade as a thank you gift, so the housekeeper naturally accepted it happily. In Yin Jie's heart, this time to take the Qianmo Wine Store is a sure thing, and he has begun to fantasize about the good days after taking that piece of land......
At the same time, the Qianmo wine shop in Bingzhou City was still overcrowded, and it did not reduce its popularity because of the arrival of the housekeeper of Zuofu in the morning. Qianmo Liquor Store is located at the boundary of Xicheng District of Bingzhou City, Xicheng District is the boundary where ordinary people live, and the restaurant opened here is not in Yin Jie's eyes, but in recent years, due to the reputation of Qianmo Liquor Store, it has attracted countless rich people from Bingzhou City, which has attracted Yin Jie's attention. There are two things that other restaurants don't have, it has the best wine in the city and the best commentary in the city.
"It is said that in that ancient period, the world was in chaos. Later, there were spirits in the heavens and the earth, and nine living beings descended. These nine are not ordinary beings, some of them are ancient giants, extremely powerful, some can escape into the heavens and the earth, travel through time and space, and some are in charge of the netherworld, immortal and immortal. It is precisely because of their birth that everything in heaven and earth is in order. And these nine beings are also known as the Nine Ancient Lords. It is said that the fifth master of the Nine Ancient Masters is called the Xuan Lord, and he is naturally proficient in the Five Elements...... "On a high platform in the Qianmo Wine Shop, an old man in white was spitting and said impassionedly, this old man is about sixty or seventy years old, his silver hair is simply tied up by a wooden hairpin, his eyes are burning, and if you look closely, you will find that there is a trace of light flowing in his eyes, and he has a long beard under his mouth. This old man is the owner of Qianmo's liquor store, Mu Yan, and it is his story that comes from nowhere that attracts countless people to listen. In this world, it is not easy to survive, the poor work hard every day, need a place to release their emotions, idlers spend their days all day, need a place to wear off their time, and Qianmo Wine Shop is undoubtedly that place. Drinking the unique drunkenness of Qianmo Wine Shop and listening to Mu Yan's unique story, everyone's heart has been greatly satisfied. And the fame of Qianmo Liquor Store has also spread rapidly.
At this moment, under the high platform, there are people in brocade clothes and socks, as well as people with green shoes and socks. Everyone listened in fascination and immersed themselves in the world of the story. Suddenly, a discordant voice sounded, interrupting everyone's reverie.
"Your Excellency's story is too ridiculous, really when I am waiting for a three-year-old child? Even I, a person who has no enlightenment, knows that there is no existence in this world that is proficient in the five elements. There is a deficiency in the five elements, which is an eternal truth. Do you deceive us into ignorance?"
