Chapter 380: To Each His Own Mind
After saying goodbye to the two fox girls in the Ningxiang Courtyard, Chen Jiu came to the city guard mansion in the mouth of the brocade-robed young man.
The distance between the castle guard mansion and fireworks alley is only one mile, and I don't know if the location of the castle guard mansion considered the distance from fireworks alley.
It was midnight.
The house is brightly lit, except for the fireworks alley, this is the most luxurious place in the entire Yanling City, just the two stone lions in front of the door, both have two glass pupils inlaid in their eyes.
You must know that this is not comparable to the era in which Chen Jiu lived, and the glass pupils adorned with stone lions alone were already worth a lot.
And in this city, the castle is only used to place it at the door.
"Arrogant and lascivious, it seems that this city lord is not a good person." Chen Jiu frowned, and walked straight into the city guard's mansion with a flash, and the dozen or so defenders at the door seemed to be unable to see him.
Let him swagger through the gate of the castle guard's mansion.
In the castle guard's mansion, the lights were bright, as bright as day, and everywhere there were maidservants with lanterns standing in the mansion, and he saw dozens of them just on the way into the main hall.
And he also noticed that the city lord's mansion, whether it was a maidservant or a householder, was dressed in fine cloth, which was better than some cloth shops outside.
"No matter what dynasty it is, these people who bend the law for personal gain and corrupt people are indispensable." Chen Jiu shook his head, no longer looking at these servants, but walked straight towards the lobby in the mansion.
……
At this moment, in the lobby of the City Guard Mansion, a middle-aged man is sitting on top of the high hall, the middle-aged man is wearing an official uniform, his face is not arrogant, and he has been in the top position for a long time at a glance, he is the city guard Wang Shouge of Yanling City.
At this time, he was respectfully facing the three people in front of him: "I don't know what the three City God lords asked this official to do tonight?" ”
Wang Chenghuang nodded and said, "There are indeed some things to ask for. ”
"Wang Chenghuang, please speak, as long as this official can help, he will definitely do it." Wang Shouge said.
"I got news from the first lord that there are a few thieves hiding outside Yanling City, and this trip is to find the lord to borrow troops." Wang Chenghuang said directly.
This is his next step.
After finding out the location of the sloppy Daoist and the others, he wanted to use it through the thousands of defenders in this Yanling City.
First, it is to let the sloppy Taoist and others cast rat traps.
After all, these defenders are ordinary people, and the sloppy Taoists and others are quite pedantic, so they will not act unscrupulously under the trap.
The second is to directly trap the sloppy Taoist and others to death through quantity.
Although they are cultivators, they are not invulnerable, and ordinary blades are not completely without threat to them, when the sword has no eyes, and the manpower under the sea of people is finally exhausted, they can capture the sloppy Taoist and other five people without losing one person.
"It's... The stakes are high in the matter of the defenders, and I may not be able to call the shots myself. Wang Shouge frowned.
After all, it is a big crime to mobilize the defenders for no reason, and if it is under the hands of someone with a heart, I am afraid that the black gauze hat he guards in the city will not be protected.
However, he did not completely say the words to death, but left some leeway.
As for whether it was worth the risk to mobilize the defenders of the city, it all depended on whether the price was worth it.
Wang Chenghuang raised his eyebrows, and immediately smiled: "It is really reasonable that Wang Chengshou can live in a poor and remote place like Yanling City. ”
"But I've heard that Lord Castle Guard has a stubborn illness and has been seeking medical advice for many years to no avail, so I'm afraid Lord Castle Guard doesn't have a few years to live now, right?"
"In this way, if Wang Chengshou is willing to help me wait once, I am willing to ask the first lord for a good medicine, which can cure the stubborn illness of the castle guard."
Wang Shouge was taken aback.
The whole person stood up from the seat and said excitedly: "Wang Chenghuang is serious? ”
"Naturally, take it seriously." Wang Chenghuang said with a smile, "It's just a good medicine, if Wang Chengshou is willing to follow the first lord, why is it difficult to give the lord of the castle guard a magic method of immortality?" ”
Although Wang Shouge has a stubborn illness, although it is not known to everyone in the entire Yanling City, it can still be clear if he has the heart to inquire.
However, this Wang Shouge is indeed a little capable.
From a poor scholar, he finally climbed all the way to the position of the lord of a city and sat down for many years, but he also fell ill when he was young.
Now that he is getting weaker in middle age, the root of this disease is exposed.
If Wang Shouge was still a poor scholar, he could only live for so many years, but once he tasted the taste of money and power, he could no longer give it up.
Wang Chenghuang's words were like a life-saving straw, grabbing Wang Shouge's heart.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Wang Shouge immediately stood up, bowed respectfully to Wang Chenghuang and said, "Wang Chenghuang, it's hard work." ”
"In the future, my king Shouge will be the first lord and the horse."
"Hahaha, since they are all the first adults, they should naturally take care of each other, come and come, Brother Wang, please hurry up." Wang Chenghuang laughed.
Then he didn't know where to take out a porcelain bottle and said, "There are a few pills in this bottle that the Lord Shouza has refined, and it can be alleviated as long as you take the stubborn illness of the Lord of the City Guard." ”
Wang Shouge slowly came back to his senses and hurriedly took the porcelain bottle from Wang Chenghuang's hand.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
People are desperate for their lives, especially after they can live.
Naturally, he would not choose to die of a stubborn disease.
"Someone, get my token." Wang Shouge instructed his subordinates.
Within a few teas, the next person took a golden token, which was engraved with the word Yanling, which was given by the Song Dynasty today.
"My lord, you only need to hold this order in your hand, and you can mobilize the defenders in the city at will." Wang Shouge said.
"Okay, then I'll take it, if this trip goes well, I will definitely say a few kind words to you in front of the first adult." Wang Chenghuang said with a smile.
"Whereever, thanks to the wisdom of your lordship." Wang Shouge said politely.
After a while of greetings, the two returned to their respective rooms.
Chen Jiu, who saw this scene, couldn't help but shake his head secretly: "The two old foxes are not good things, and they are more pit people than the other. ”
Just now he saw everything in his eyes.
Where is the medicine that Wang Chenghuang gave to Wang Shouge?
It is clearly a poison that can kill people!
Although this poison could forcibly hang Wang Shouge's stubborn illness, once the effect of the medicine occurred, Wang Shouge would immediately become a Gu beast that could not distinguish between humans and animals.
And what surprised Chen Jiu even more was that Wang Shouge.
After leaving the lobby, he threw the porcelain vase directly to the next person, without even looking at it.
