Chapter 68: The Chicken Thief

Everyone fell silent, looking at Qin Shu expectantly one by one. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Change the city lord and destroy the strange beasts, everyone knows that the stele tower city will usher in a new era. What will inevitably follow is a reshuffle of the interests of all parties! It is no exaggeration to say that the current Stele Tower City is Qin Shu alone. His thoughts are related to the rise and fall of all the families in the city.

Everyone pricked up their ears for fear of missing a word.

From evening to late at night, Qin Shu talked about the so-called "way to make money" for more than three hours. When he spoke, the door was closed, except for the dozen or so people present, no one knew what he said, only that the heads of the families who were accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves all had an unaware expression after they came out.

The methods of making money mentioned by Qin Shu not only cover a series of reforms such as the rule of law, commerce, agriculture, economy, etc., but also talk about a lot of flowers, and it is obvious that these things are like heavenly books for this group of people who turn the table without saying a word. What's even more excessive is that Qin Shu also directly smashed all kinds of professional terms of modern social governance, and everyone was stunned.

These people are all characters with heads and faces in the city of Beita City, they obviously don't understand but they have to pretend to understand, every time Qin Shu talks about the excitement, he nods his head very cheerfully, putting on a deep expression, in fact, they all rub their butts back and forth on the chair hundreds of times, and they can't wait to go home immediately, who likes to listen to this boring thing?

By the time Qin Shu finished speaking, everyone was vaguely in front of them a scene of peace and prosperity, and as for what he had specifically said, he had long forgotten it, so why did he stay overnight?

After saying this, Qin Shu also specially asked people to draft a manuscript on the spot, to the effect that all the patriarchs present had already known the next "governance program" of the City Lord's Mansion, and promised to cooperate with all the actions of the City Lord, and then asked all the participants to sign and draw a pledge.

Originally, everyone was a little hesitant, and they didn't understand how they could sign and draw a pledge? Signing and painting a pledge in the Dragon Soul Continent is a big deal, once they do this, they will become a villain who has no faith and no righteousness in the future, and which family would dare to bear such an infamy? However, Qin Shu said that only the family that signed the book can be qualified to enjoy all the rights of the Stele Tower City in the future, including the right to send their children to the Stele Tower Academy.

Looking at one-fifth of the "Green Sparrow Heart Formula" in his hand, everyone began to waver. No matter what, the City Lord's Mansion can't rob all the property of each family, right? This thing will be signed and signed, anyway, with the current prestige of his Qin Shu and the power behind it, who would dare to oppose him? If he hesitates and angers him again, his own children will not be able to enter the Stele Tower Academy, and he will not be able to watch other children learn the "Qingque Heart Formula", then he will not want to turn over in the future!

The Vulture was the first to sign. Since Qin Shu saved the son of Wutu City, the Wutu family has always been grateful to Qin Shu. In addition, this time, Qin Shu risked death to lead everyone in addition to the trouble of foreign beasts, which made the Wutu family respectful. Moreover, there are still many powerful forces behind people, and if the Wutu family does not stand on his side tightly in the future, will they still be enemies of him?

After the Wutu family finished signing, the Xia family signed without saying a word. As soon as the two families responded, the rest of the families began to rush to sign and draw, and after a while, all the family patriarchs were gathered to sign, even the Bi Lie family was no exception.

Qin Shu held the paper full of signatures and drawings and smiled toothlessly.

That's right, don't you understand? If you understand these measures to deprive you big families of their privileges, you won't be called a bombardment? Now that everyone has signed and drawn a pledge, what will I say about how you should do it? Although it will be a little painful for you at first, but after a year and a half, you will be able to appreciate how deep Lao Tzu's love for you is!

It was already midnight, and the meeting had been held for more than three hours in one go, which was six hours on Earth, and everyone was hungry. Qin Shuben wanted to leave everyone for some supper before leaving, but everyone said goodbye one after another, saying that it was late at night and would not bother Mr. Qin and the city lord to rest.

Qin Shu was also happy to be casual, so he sent everyone to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. When I got there, I found that the whole street in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion was full of people, and red lanterns were hung everywhere, illuminating the night as if it were day.

Countless people dressed in colorful costumes sang and danced in the streets. Along the street there are large square wooden tables, all the way from the east end of the street to the west end, lined up for hundreds of meters, the table is full of wine and food, anyone can take it to eat, one plate is gone, and I don't know where these wine and food come from.

I don't know who shouted first, Mr. Qin is out! The crowd suddenly surrounded him with a hula, first saluted Qin Shu in unison, and then sang and danced around him.

Qin Shu turned around and quietly asked Leo if this was another good thing he did, and Leo said with a look of injustice that it was spontaneously organized by the people of Beita City. As for the hundreds of tables of wine and food, half of them were contributed by the owners of nearby wine shops, and the other half were brought by the people themselves from their homes.

Seeing that Qin Shu was still at a loss, Leo explained to him that in fact, this was a tradition in the Stele Tower City, and it was also a way to express gratitude.

In the early years, there were not many people in the stele tower city without city walls, and all kinds of strange beasts were frequent, so each family had to have someone "keep vigil" when sleeping at night to prevent the sneak attack of strange beasts. Because the "vigil" is a chore, many people, after receiving a favor from others, will offer to help the other family keep a vigil to show their great gratitude. If guilt is the highest form of apology, then vigil is the highest form of thanksgiving. With the evolution of time, there are more and more people in the city of the stele tower with walls, and everyone does not need to sleep anymore, but this ancient way of thanking has remained. It's just that the current "vigil" has turned into an all-night carnival. Generally, the person who wants to express his gratitude prepares the food and drinks to the home of the person being thanked, and then drinks the wine with the host. If the host is tired, he can go back to the house to rest, and the grateful person will stay alone at the door until dawn to complete the whole "vigil".

Therefore, these people were guarding the gate of the City Lord's Mansion just to express their gratitude. But when I heard that the city lord and Qin Shu were discussing important matters with the major families, no one dared to disturb them, so they all entertained themselves here.

Qin Shu looked around, and saw that from the end of the street at the door, the black pressure was full of people, at least tens of thousands, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

Although the people here are ignorant and savage, they admit a dead reason, that is, whoever is good to them, they will dig their hearts into whoever is good. If he was just thinking about himself when he ran the Stele Tower City before, then from this moment on, he suddenly had an inexplicable impulse to make these simple people live a better life through his own efforts.

A man with a round head and big ears ran to Qin Shu with a huge belly, bowed deeply to Qin Shu, and then said a little shyly, "Mr. Qin, I am the shopkeeper of Dachang Restaurant. This, hey, that, I wonder if you have the time to try my cooking?"

As soon as the words fell, a tall guard walked up and said to the man, "Old Zhou, you can fool us rough people with those two clicks, what is Mr. Qin's identity?"

The tall man is Xiao Ming, the one who helped Qin Shu kill Qiu Xianghe before, is now the head of the guard, and there are more than a dozen family warriors under him. It's not that he really looks down on Lao Zhou, but as a guard, he thinks that it is too dangerous for Qin Shu to eat things from unknown sources. Lao Zhou is no problem, but what if someone with ulterior motives secretly drugged them? After all, those dishes are all on the table, and now that there are so many people, who dares to guarantee that no one will do anything?

Qin Shu laughed and said to Xiao Ming, "It's okay, since Boss Zhou is so gracious, how can Qin have a reason to push it back?" But Boss Zhou, you see, we have more than a dozen people here, you can't just invite me." ”

Old Zhou saw that behind Qin Shu were all big names in the Stele Tower City, these people usually don't patronize their own small wine shops, but they are not even qualified to see themselves, and suddenly said with a red face with excitement, "Thank you, thank you Mr. Qin for your face, thank you for your face, thank you for your face." If you can afford it, please come to my small restaurant, and the small ones will definitely fry a few good dishes for everyone!"

Qin Shu waved his hand and said, "No need, let's eat here, we can eat as much as we want!" Then he turned back to the heads of each family and said, "Everyone, what do you say? Do you want to drink two cups together?"

When everyone saw that Qin Shu had already sat down, they all stopped refusing and sat down with him.

Only Bi Liefu confessed to Qin Shu, saying that he was worried about his brother's injury and needed to go back to the house immediately. Qin Shu expressed his understanding and comforted Bi Liefu, who had an extremely complicated expression on his face.

More than a dozen people sat at two large tables, Lao Zhou didn't expect that he didn't have any hope for the invitation, he could really invite so many big people to enjoy the light, two thick short legs quickly upside down, the wind shuttled between the kitchen of his wine shop and the two tables of banquets on the street, like a trick to bring a plate of exquisite dishes, the others were all amazed, this dead fat man could run so fast? If he really dares to collect money, Lao Tzu will unload the door panel of his wine shop!

After the owners of several other liquor shops got the news, they all quit one after another, your Lao Zhou's dishes are specialty dishes, and our store is a waste of hand dishes? They all ran back to their stores to greet their own guys, and they all used their best skills, and some of the ingredients in the store were ruthlessly used in terms of cost, and we didn't want to pay for it at this time! After a while, three or four signature dishes came out, and I didn't let the guy serve it, so I got a tray and served it up vigorously.

So the dishes on the table were quickly stacked layer by layer, a new dish just came up, everyone was withdrawn before a few bites, the one who went down laughed, saying that the dish was cold and not delicious, several heroes hurriedly tasted our sweet and sour osmanthus fish, and the sweet and sour osmanthus fish was withdrawn again, and another boss came up and said, the sweet and sour osmanthus fish is also cold, try our braised tiger bones.

Several major families have eaten countless delicacies from the mountains and seas on weekdays, but they have never seen such a formation. Especially the Xia family and the Wutu family, as great heroes, hundreds of people toasted repeatedly, one hero in one bite, which can be described as an unprecedented courtesy.

At the beginning, the people respected Wutucheng and Xia Kelie the most, these two people were young and young, and they were very arrogant and did not refuse to come, and they drank dozens of glasses after a while, and Xia Kelie was even bare-chested when the wine came up. Not to be outdone, Wutucheng picked up a jar of wine and handed it to Xia Kelie, then took another jar himself, and began to pour it into his mouth. Shaklie laughed and drank without saying a word.

Gradually, the bold people began to try to toast to Wu Tusong and Xia Yan, these two people are old, and they are definitely extremely majestic existences in the Stele Tower City, if it weren't for the wine to strengthen people's courage, no one would dare to rashly toast these two wines. But to everyone's surprise, both of them laughed and drank the toast very happily.

There is no seniority, no nobility, everyone is immersed in a strange atmosphere, which is extremely pleasant, even intoxicating.

In the past two hundred years, the city of the stele tower has never been so jubilant as it is now! The Xia family and the Wutu family, as wealthy families in the city, although everyone respects them on weekdays, but there is more of a kind of awe, and now everyone respects them from the bottom of their hearts, and the difference between the two can be felt without a word.

Wu Tusong and Xia Yan both drank red eyes, feeling that their family had made such great achievements for the Stele Tower City, and they had not lived in vain in this life! The two pairs of cloudy old eyes looked at each other for a moment, and they both involuntarily picked up the cup in their hands.

There was a crisp sound of "jingling", and the two cups collided, making a moving sound, which wiped out the centuries-old grudge between the two families!

The Wutu family and the Xia family are still like this, and Qin Shu is even more drunk and can't find the north.

At this time, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy handed over a glass of wine and said to Qin Shu, "Mr. Qin, please let me toast you!" With that, he handed the wine in his hand to Qin Shu.

Qin Shu took the wine and was about to drink it, when he suddenly heard Wu Tusong and Xia Yan beside him exclaim at the same time, "The wine is poisonous!"
