The guards fenced off the altar, and the general public had to stand aside. Only those who have status can come to power and sit in high positions.

Xuanyi Pavilion is still open, but Zheng Haoyu has already brought gifts to the vicinity of the altar. This is a custom in Shiye Castle, before the sacrifice, some nobles will offer sacrifices, saying that it is for the gods, but in fact, they are all for the lord of the city.

Among them, those with valuable gifts will also be invited by the city lord to go to the altar and receive the baptism of heaven and earth.

The time of the sacrifice was at noon, and the lord of the castle brought his family with him in the morning.

The city supervisor of Siye City, Leopard, is not only a martial artist of the Nine Heavens, but also has made military exploits, and is a baron of Changguo with a noble status.

As his name suggests, he is wearing a shiny armor and riding a spotted demon leopard, walking majestically.

Behind him, there were guards in leather armor, and family members in carriages. The sacrificial baptism requires a lot of crystal coins, and Guan Leopard naturally wants to bring his family members to enjoy the effect of the altar together.

When Guan Leopard arrived, the people all bowed down to him and saluted. In Siye City, the lord of the city is like a king to them, controlling their power of life and death.

The altar is divided into three tiers, the highest of which is where the city's outstanding young warriors practiced. Some of the villagers sat on the third floor.

The nobles sat on the second floor, and most of these nobles were the captains of the city lord's guards, the deputy city lords, and some powerful warriors.

The lord of the city, on the other hand, ascended to the third floor and was with those outstanding young warriors, and he would preside over the autumn festival at the meeting.

Before the sacrifice begins, there is a clan elder dressed in gorgeous clothes who recites the sacrificial words on the stage.

"At the beginning of Xuanyuan, the vitality rises and falls...... Today, there is a god who bestows the great sun with purple energy...... Our warriors are grateful, and they pay homage to the ritual......"

There are a lot of lengthy ones, not only Zheng Haoyu is too lazy to listen, but the people below are also enduring this boring process.

Finally, it was time for the sacrificial rite. This is the highlight of the event in addition to the autumn purple air, and the people are quiet and start to watch the ceremony.

The first was the castle chief, Leopard, whose sacrifice to the gods was a blood-red lens.

The old man in charge of the sacrifice said loudly: "The city lord of Siye City, Guan Leopard, offer a demon beast demon crystal from the realm of the Eight Heavenly Martial Artists, and may the blessings spread to the residents of Siye City." ”

"Is that the demon beast demon crystal?" Zheng Haoyu looked at the blood-red crystal curiously.

It is said that after the demon beast reaches the realm of martial arts, it can condense energy crystals in its body. Known as the Demon Crystal, the Demon Crystal is very precious. It is said that it can help warriors cultivate, and can also be used to refine some rare elixirs, and even inlaid on treasures.

The demon crystals of the demon beasts of the Eight Heavenly Martial Master Realm are already priceless in Siye City, and it is difficult to see anyone selling them, and only Guan Leopard, who is the city lord, can get this kind of treasure.

After the city lord's gift, then the deputy city lord and some petty officials. Depending on the strength, the items to be presented are also different. Some of the villagers even offered boiled animal heads.

The people on the stage have finished giving gifts, and it is the turn of the people in the audience to give gifts. This is the best time to have a relationship with the city lord, and those merchants have already prepared.

The gifts offered by the wealthy merchants were very valuable, and after they had finished their offerings, they could make a small request to the lord of the city, and the lord would most of them agree.

Soon, it was the turn of the tailor of the golden scissors Zhu. He wanted to present gifts to the lord of the castle on behalf of all the cloth and tailor shops in Shiye Castle except for the Xuanyi Pavilion, and at the same time make his own request.

Tailor Zhu held a ceremonial plate, slowly walked to the sacrificial platform, bowed to Guan Leopard, and said: "Meet the city lord, the villain would like to present the sacrificial gift on behalf of all the tailors and cloth shop keepers in Siye City." ”

The city lord and the nobles all watched quietly, and the tailor Zhu asked the servant to hold the ceremonial plate, and lifted the red cloth himself, and inside were two ceremonial dresses.

He showed one of them and said, "City Lord, the first one is made of precious ferret demon beast fur, which is extremely flexible and difficult to cut with ordinary swords!"

He showed up, a snow-white leather coat, exquisite workmanship, Guan Leopard nodded with satisfaction.

"This second piece is woven from ice silk and decorated with swan feathers, as thin as cicada wings, which is extremely comfortable and more beautiful to wear. ”

The lady of the city lord on the side also had a smile on her face when she saw the gorgeous dress.

"It took me seven hundred and forty-nine days to make these two pieces, and they were specially sacrificed. Tailor Zhu said respectfully.

Guan Bao nodded and said, "I have a heart." What do you want, say?"

The tailors and cloth shop owners all looked at Tailor Zhu, and Tailor Zhu bowed again, and then said, "Lord of the city, the villain has no other requests. Just ask the city lord to preside over a small justice. ”

Hearing this, a trace of displeasure flashed on Guan Leopard's face, he was most annoyed by those who were looking for trouble during the sacrifice. Justice, who knows what?

With so many nobles and people watching, they can't do whatever they want.

However, for the sake of his majesty and credibility, he still said: "Say, the lord of this city will naturally deal with it impartially." ”

Tailor Zhu said: "My lord, we tailors have always done our duty in business, and we have never caused disputes. Recently, however, a merchant in the city maliciously sold cloth and ready-to-wear clothes at low prices, disturbing the order of the market, and asked the lord of the city to punish him. ”

"Oh?" asked Guan Leopard, "who is it?

When Tailor Zhu heard this, he hurriedly said happily: "Here, right there, the shopkeeper Zheng of Xuanyi Pavilion!"

He pointed at Zheng Haoyu, and people dispersed, and their eyes converged on Zheng Haoyu.

Tailor Zhu turned his head to look at Zheng Haoyu, looking smug and a little sarcastic. Now in full view, the city lord has spoken. Sample, see how long you have to be scared!

According to the previous rules, the city was mainly punished severely, and maybe his property would be confiscated directly, and people would get out.

The other tailors also whispered in private: "Great, the city lord is finally going to take care of him!"

"yes, if we don't care about him anymore, we're going to close our doors!"

"It's better to confiscate his shop directly!"

Guan Bao saw Zheng Haoyu and snorted coldly and said: "In the land under the jurisdiction of the lord of this city, it is forbidden for any warriors and merchants to make waves and disturb the order of Siye City. The tailor, I ask you, is there such a thing?"

Several guards walked up to Zheng Haoyu and surrounded him. Zheng Haoyu was not in a hurry, bowed his hand, and said, "City Lord, this is a misunderstanding. I am honest in business, I have a lot of taxes to pay, and I am also doing business with the concept of serving the lord and residents of Siye City. ”

Shopkeeper Zhu scolded: "Nonsense, you are obviously maliciously lowering prices, so that the rest of our goods cannot be sold!"

"Ridiculous!" Zheng Haoyu retorted, "It's just a commodity, you sell it expensive, I can't sell it cheaply?

These days, many residents know about Xuanyi Pavilion and have bought high-quality and inexpensive clothes. For them, of course, they want the goods to be as cheap as possible. So they said, "Of course there is no such reason!"

"That's it, the profiteers themselves sell it expensively, and they don't let others sell it cheaper, it's too treacherous!"

"Tailor Zhu, do you still want face?"

"Well done the shopkeeper of Xuanyi Pavilion!"
