Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Land of a Long Drought Looks Forward to the Rain
"This adult, how can I let you put away this 'phonogram mirror talisman'?" The threat was not successful, and he didn't dare to really fight, so the middle-aged steward had to lower his posture and give in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Hmph, don't intimidate, why don't you slash me in the head?" the secret guard snorted angrily, "Let me tell you clearly, all the restaurants in the city, as long as there are storytellers sent by your city lord's mansion to publicize it, there are secret guards of our 'secret guard division' who are fighting-for-tat,āā and they still want to kill people and fatten your dog's guts." ā
As soon as they heard this, a cold sweat flowed down their backs of the two City Lord's Mansion Martial Yuan Masters: Who the hell was able to mobilize the Secret Guard Division to mobilize so many people to fight against the City Lord's Mansion?
The two martial arts masters didn't dare to continue holding it anymore, so they hurriedly took out dozens of blood jades and secretly stuffed them into the hands of the secret guards. After receiving the benefit, the secret guard's face softened greatly, and he whispered: "This is a big deal from the 'Baisha Pavilion City', someone paid a large amount of blood jade, let us secret guards take the 'gramophone mirror charm' and scatter it to the major restaurants in the city for broadcasting, and clearly stated that it must be broadcast for ten days." ā
The cold sweat on the backs of the two martial masters was almost like a stream, and the middle-aged martial master begged: "My lord, you can't broadcast it anymore, if you continue to sow it like this, needless to say ten days, as long as it takes three days, the reputation of our city lord's mansion will stink." ā
"There's no way to do this, this is a deal, we've negotiated, and if we don't broadcast it, we'll have to pay liquidated damages. Of course, if you can help us pay the liquidated damages, this matter can be discussed, and besides, it can only be stopped by the order of our 'Secretary of the Secret Guard'. The secret guard said solemnly.
"How much liquidated damages do we need to pay?" the middle-aged Wu Yuanshi asked directly, ignoring the words of the director of the "Secret Security Division" directly, the director of the "Secret Security Division" has not yet arrived, who knows that in the Year of the Monkey, everything will be cold at that time.
"Well, not a lot. The man paid 100,000 blood jade, and according to the contract, if he breached the contract, he needed to return it twice, that is, 200,000 blood jade. ā
"How much?" the two martial arts masters screamed and jumped up. For the fuss of the two martial arts masters, the secret guards of the "Secret Guard Division" directly ignored them, continued to be unimpatient, and took turns playing the "gramophone mirror charm".
The two martial arts masters glanced at each other, and the middle-aged martial master lost a look at the martial master dressed as a merchant, and asked him to stay in the local area to monitor the secret guard of the "secret guard division", he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly went downstairs and rushed towards the city lord's mansion.
When the middle-aged Wu Yuanshi ran back to the City Lord's Mansion, he found that the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion was completely chaotic, and dozens of storytellers who were originally scattered in the major restaurants in the city all ran over, surrounding the young city lord and kept complaining, and they all encountered the same thing, all of them were stabbed from the asshole by the secret guard of the "Secret Guard Division" when the storytelling climax.
"The 'Secret Guard Division' is so bold that he dares to oppose our City Lord's Mansion, and when their new director takes office, see how I teach them a lesson. "The young city lord Tao Tao's usual calm and calm at this time is gone, his combed oily and slippery hair has become a little unkempt, and a layer of shiny things on his forehead is oozing, which is a little angry.
Hearing this, the middle-aged martial master smiled bitterly, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, at this moment, he suddenly found that his young city lord was not as shrewd and capable as he had shown before, but seemed to be a little clueless. This time, the "Secret Guard Division" did this, and scooped up 100,000 blood jade in just ten days, what a good business this is, even if all of them sell their bodies, they can't make so much money, and besides, it is all the personnel of the "Secret Guard Division" who benefit, it is completely conceivable that even if the new director takes office, he will definitely not punish them at the risk of offending all his subordinates and losing the hearts of all of them in order to vent his anger to the City Lord's Mansion, and the young city lord can't even see this, isn't it brainless?
At this moment, the official infant of the long history ran in from outside the hall with a nervous face, and shouted in a frightened voice: "Young City Lord, it's a disaster, it's a disaster, the group of beasts of the 'Secret Guard Division' are actually in the major restaurants, using the 'Gramophone Mirror Charm' in the ......"
Shangguan Ying didn't wait to finish speaking, the annoyed Tao Tao stepped forward, slapped him in the face hard, and scolded sharply: "Bastard, it's not all you, let you chase and kill that old bastard, you didn't kill him, just take back the 'Pregnant Yang Fruit' and 'Tongjing Silver Armor', and you were actually left with an image, it's really a waste." ā
Shangguan Ying, who chased and killed Elder Zuo of Baisha Pavilion City, ran back empty-handed the day before yesterday, his face was full of blood and his soul was lost, and he cried miserably to Tao Tao, saying that in the middle of the pursuit, Qianluo of Baisha Pavilion City led his men to dry his minions, and even Lu Fatzi, the master of the Heavenly Mandate Hall of Baisha Pavilion City, came out of his mind and rescued Elder Zuo. That is, he is clever, and when he saw that the momentum was not right, he immediately turned around and fled with great might, Rao is still a knife from Lu Fatzi, if he walks a little slower, he will even have to take his life there.
At that time, Tao Tao didn't take it to heart, although he was a little displeased, but he thought that if he killed Qianluo in the future, whether it was the "Pregnant Yang Fruit" or the three hundred sets of "Tongjing Silver Armor", it would always be returned to the original owner, so he didn't bother with Shangguan Ying.
Since Qianluo chose to oppose the Tao family, Tao Tao has regarded him as a dead man, in his eyes, Qianluo, who was born in the countryside such as Baisha Pavilion City, is undoubtedly a blind stream and a scoundrel, and he has never been taken to heart. He is dignified like the young city lord of Luo City, and he is simply lifting him up with a mouthful, and a casual sentence is enough to make him recover, although the kid is jumping happily at the moment, but there will always be a day when he dies, but Tao Tao never dreamed that this blind stream and scoundrel could cause him so much trouble now, so that he naturally hated the culprit Shangguan Baby.
Shangguan Ying covered his face and said, "Who would have thought that kid was so treacherous ......?"
At this time, whether it is Shangguan Ying or Tao Tao, they are naturally extremely clear that there is absolutely no one behind all this except Qianluo. It's just that they don't know that Qianluo is the dignified "inspector and patrol envoy" of the "Secret Guard Division", and has the power to mobilize the secret guards of the "Secret Guard Division", so it is incomprehensible that the secret guards of the "Secret Guard Division" listened to his words and slapped the City Lord's Mansion in front of the public at the expense of turning his face with the City Lord's Mansion. After all, the secret guard of the "Secret Guard Division" is not so easy to move, even if Qianluo pays a high reward of 100,000 blood jade, it is difficult to do it at all.
At this time, no matter how much you want, it will be in vain, and solving the current crisis is the most important, Tao Tao knows very well that if this matter is not handled properly, the good reputation he has accumulated for many years will be ruined, not to mention, and the entire city lord's mansion will also become a huge rotten egg, and it will stink for ten miles against the wind.
I have to say that Qianluo's blow was precise and ruthless, hitting the seven inches of the City Lord's Mansion, Tao Tao really didn't dare to let the situation continue to develop.
"Young City Lord, why don't you report this matter to the City Lord and let him call the shots?" Seeing Tao Tao's brows tightly and thinking about countermeasures, the middle-aged steward suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and he really didn't dare to have expectations about what tricks this originally extremely respected young city lord could come up with, so he couldn't help but propose.
Tao Tao thought about it for a long time, he felt dizzy, there was no way at all, listening to the words of the middle-aged steward, under the six gods without masters, he instinctively wanted to agree, and saw Shangguan Ying standing next to him, covering his face and wiping his neck again and again, so he said: "Shangguan Changshi, what do you think?"
Shangguan Ying said: "Young City Lord, don't do it, firstly, the City Lord is now planning a major event related to whether our Tao family can jump to a higher level and become a first-class family, and there is no time to be distracted;
Shangguan Ying didn't finish speaking, but Tao Tao fully knew what he meant, he was shocked, and said secretly in his heart: Yes, if you can't even handle this little thing well, and you have to let your father make up your mind, won't you seem too incompetent, and what will your father think of you in the future?
The decision has been made, Tao Tao said categorically: "Just let that kid be proud for a few more days, I will always have the day when I will ask for it back with interest." Shangguan Changshi, you take 200,000 blood jade from the treasury and go to the 'Secret Guard Division' to redeem the 'Phonogram Mirror Talisman'. Hmph, my Tao family is rich, only 200,000 blood jade, which is a lot of money for that hillbilly boy, but for my Tao family, it's just a drop in the bucket. ā
The "Secret Guard Division" has the right to supervise the "City Lord's Mansion", and the particularity of the authority makes the "City Lord's Mansion" feel half a head short in front of the secret guards, and it can be said that he is naturally afraid of it, so Tao Tao does not have the courage at all, and dares to kill those secret guards who play the "Phonograph Mirror Talisman". And since it can't be killed, if you want to control the expansion of the situation and make the "gramophone mirror charm" no longer poisonous, there is only one way to go by obeying their conditions.
As soon as he heard Tao Tao's words, the middle-aged steward couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing that as soon as this incident came out, his own city lord's mansion could be regarded as majestic, and it would definitely become a laugh for others, and the name of the young city lord's straw bag could be regarded as solid.
In a delicate side hall of the "Heavenly Mandate Palace" in Wanluo City, two old guards of the "Secret Guard Division" wearing black robes and ribbons around their waists and gray beards were wearing deferential and reverent faces, standing with their hands down, patiently waiting for something. In front of them, dozens of large boxes were opened, and the lid of each box was opened, and the red light was steaming, and the inside was full of blood jade.
The two old guards didn't wait long, and Qian Luo, who was dressed in spirit robes, thick eyebrows flew into his sideburns, his eyes were like cold stars in the winter morning, and his thin body contained explosive power, and he walked in leisurely.
"I've seen the Inspector. As soon as they saw Qianluo, the two old guards were like relatives, their wrinkled old faces were full of smiles, and they bowed down deeply with their crossed hands, and said respectfully.
"That's it, let's be even, what are you doing here, what is this trouble?" Ignoring the dozens of large boxes full of blood jade in front of the two old secret guards, Qianluo sat on the rosewood chair at the top, sipping the fragrant tea sent by the servant, and said casually.
"My lord, it is the same as you think, the Tao family is really willing to pay twice the price, a full 200,000 blood jade, to buy our 'secret guard division' breach of contract, and no longer play the mirror image in the 'gramophone mirror charm'. We did as you instructed, paid the money with one hand, delivered the goods with the other, and after receiving the blood jade, we destroyed all the mirrors in the 'Gramophone Mirror Charm'. An old guard said excitedly, "This is the 200,000 blood jade, and now it has been sent to you." ā
Qianluo nodded and said lightly: "In this case, leave the blood jade behind, and you can go back, why do you have to see me?"
When the two old guards heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, and one of the guards couldn't help but say again: "My lord, how can we not see you? What do we need to do next, what instructions do you have, and we still need to listen." ā
"Two elders, we just made a deal, and I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it, so I took out the token of the 'Inspector'. Now that the deal is done, and I'm not the director of the 'Secret Guard Division', how can I give you instructions?" Qianluo said with a smile, but his tone was extremely resolute.
The two elders were anxious when they heard it, and followed Qianluo to do this transaction, they can be regarded as having tasted the sweetness, just one day's work, but sent dozens of secret guards to play the "gramophone mirror charm" in the major restaurants, and actually got 100,000 blood jade, which is simply picked up for nothing, it can be called a great thing that falls from the sky, the two elders have also worked in the "secret guard division" for decades, and they have not even heard of such a perverted good thing before, and now it is their turn. Therefore, the two elders came today to give the 200,000 blood jade that had defaulted to Qianluo on the one hand, and on the other hand, they planned to completely establish a relationship with Qianluo to see if this young man who made money could find a few more ways for them to make money.
You must know that the "Secret Guard Division" is not the "Mandate of Heaven Palace", "City Lord's Mansion", "Soldiers and Horses Battalion", and only relies on the limited funds allocated from above every year, which can be said to be often stretched thin and miserable, and now Qianluo is such a living God of wealth who is good at making money, with a finger in his hand, they have earned 100,000 blood jade, but they have completely won their hearts, and they can't wait to be a grandfather, where dare to let go easily?
"My lord, don't mind, we're the 'Secret Guard', and our ardent hope for your old man is the hope of the earth for a long drought, and you can't abandon hundreds of our brothers. The two elders pleaded in unison.
However, no matter what the two elders said, Qianluo just shook his head and ignored it.
Seeing that Qianluo had made up his mind not to pay attention to the matter of their "Secret Guard", the two elders were disappointed, and they did not give up and repeatedly signaled to Qianluo that the "Secret Guard" would listen to his instructions and wait for his orders at any time, and then leave with a farewell.
As soon as the two elders left, a neat Heavenly Destiny Master wearing a silk robe, a lion-nosed and wide-mouthed figure, and a long gray hair combed neatly strode in, sat on another chair in front of Qianluo, and was not polite to him, nor did he use a teacup, he directly picked up the teapot and drank the tea in a big gulp.
