[The pawnshop owner recognized the origin of this jade pendant at a glance, and even the craftsmanship of carving the word black mountain on it knew that it was the ancestral inheritance of Yongchuan Library. 】

[The pawnshop owner feels witty for his discernment, just ask, which Jia Chamber of Commerce in Gaoping doesn't know the name of the coal boss? Heating in winter, fertilizer for planting, dyeing cloth for coloring, and even firewood for cooking are all converted from burning coal. 】

[Soon after the accident in the black mountain coal kiln, the news reached here, the supply of the coal mine was cut off, and the ordinary city residents of Gaoping could not afford to eat with the naked eye, and they had to go outside the city to draw firewood without fuel. 】

[Without the coal mine, the cloth dyed in the cloth mill specially used to make beggars' clothes became fuel in short supply, and it was all pulled back to cook, not waterproof, better than expensive cloth, but if you only use one or two times, after a long time, ordinary city citizens will not be able to withstand it, and they will commit two looting incidents in a row under hunger! 】

[When did Gao Ping experience such a chaotic moment? In order to appease the people of the city and maintain order, the city lord's mansion announced that all expenses would be borne by the city lord's mansion, and at the same time, it was planned to select people by text, and the lord was determined by force, and the steward was elected by Wen Xuan to take over the Black Mountain coal kiln, and the military election recommended a lord with enough Dao to accompany him, so as to prevent the Black Mountain coal kiln from being disturbed by other cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. 】

Tsk, it is worthy of being a civilized town, and even the lord can be elected through a competition, and looking at this tone, this lord is not as big as the officer, and he is a bodyguard.

Everywhere else, it's life and death, disputes and killings, Gaoping is good, it's like a play, and I don't think the lord is so powerful at all.

[The pawnshop owner told you that the reason for holding the anthology is that the city did not know how to coordinate and transport coal mines, and now that you come, this anthology can be ended directly, but the matter is big, and it is not for him, a small businessman, to decide, please also take a trip to the city lord's mansion for the sake of working with Gao Ping for many years. 】

[You refused\promised\ asked him to lead the way.] 】

[You said that after many days, you have forgotten where the city lord's mansion is, please ask him to lead the way. 】

[The pawnshop owner happily agreed, and with him by his side, you entered the City Lord's Mansion through the token smoothly. 】

[The city lord's mansion has a complex structure, and there are always three major sections: people's livelihood, security, and economy, which are divided into Yongchuan Bookstore in charge of economy, textile and silk and ink dyeing, Longhu Dart Bureau in charge of security, dart patrol, Jinyu grain and oil in charge of people's livelihood, and planting and breeding. 】

[The one sitting in the City Lord's Mansion today happens to be the owner of the Yongchuan Library, who is in charge of the anthology, and he is trembling and holding a cane to celebrate the rest of your life after the disaster, and said that he will directly cancel the anthology and let you continue to be responsible for the supply of coal mines in the Black Mountain Coal Kiln and Gaoping. 】

[You were about to reply, but the second owner of the Yongchuan Bookstore spoke to stop it. 】

[He said that participating in the anthology this time is not only to elect the steward, but also to boost the confidence of the city's citizens, the important thing is that the process is not the result, once the anthology is canceled, the city's citizens have no matter to divert their attention, and the focus will return to firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the future will be endless. 】

[The old owner felt reasonable, so he asked you to participate in the competition, and you readily agreed\politely declined\ others.] 】

The ghost sent the gods, and Shi Xin clicked [Other].

[The old hall owner let you have something to say, don't take care of it, you-]

The phone's keyboard is summoned and free conversation begins.

Shi Xin originally just thought that agreeing or refusing would not achieve her goal, so she didn't choose, but she didn't expect that the [other] option still hides new gains.

[You reply to him: I'm a lot older, so I won't participate in the competition, so leave the opportunity to practice to young people, just let me be a spectator judge.] 】

[The old hall master agreed to your request and appointed you as the examiner of this anthology, you gladly accepted, and Yu Guang glimpsed that the second hall master wanted to speak and stopped, and did not seem to agree. 】

[You were arranged in the upper room of Yongchuan Restaurant, you told the guy not to disturb if he had nothing to do, you don't like to be stuffy, most of the time you will listen to the pipa girl plucking the strings. 】

You have triggered: The Maskless Master's Way of Disguise. 】

[The way of disguise of the faceless cloaked master: thousands of phantom faces, turning into gods without bodies. You are the undefinable Lord of the Faceless Cloak, each face is a new identity, and you will draw up new names to ensure that you are not bound in the wilderness-]

[The guide "gnawed the old people", and the formulation was successful. 】

[You swagger out of the restaurant, and no one recognizes your true identity. 】

What kind of skin ghost, you also need to pick other people's skin to disguise yourself.

Amusing! The road to simplicity! The faceless cloak is the ultimate form of painted skin!

There are thousands of routines in the world, Shi Xin doesn't believe the second pavilion owner's rhetoric for the city and the people, the family is inseparable from the struggle for power and profit, there must be some unsavory transactions behind this, the most likely is that the second pavilion owner himself stuffed the steward.

If you want her to be directly in charge, how can you operate in the dark?

Shi Xin also thinks very clearly, the more people want to be in charge, the more valuable it will prove, of course valuable things have to be grabbed, take 10,000 steps back, who cheats is not a cheat? The surest way to succeed without being discovered is to start at the roots.

Take the large number to open the back door for the small one, it doesn't count as opening the back door, right?

[You wandered around Gaoping City and heard a lot of secrets. 】

[Coal mines are scarce, the most serious hit is the restaurant in the city, it stands to reason that the fuel is more expensive than the rice, the restaurant business should be very hot, who knows that the city government only covers the cooking expenses of the city residents, regardless of the restaurant, resulting in it within half a month because it can not cook three closed down. 】

[The largest farm in the west of the city died of three stubble dairy cows, thinking that the mad cow disease spread seriously, and a careful investigation found that it was a large planter who stole the forage that his family fed the cattle to make improved fertilizer, and then the fertilizer was not made, and the money of the three stubble dairy cows was lost. 】

[The Longhu Dart Bureau recently received a big order, the other party is a trade merchant from another territory, and he wants to buy tons of grain and transport it back to serve the desolate master, because there are too many carts loaded with grain, the dart bureau has dispatched almost all the dart people. 】

[You passed by Miaoyin Fang, refused the courtship of the guest girl, and listened to a lingering sound, and couldn't move, and when you came back to your senses, it was getting late, and you saw that there were many people who were still immersed in the lingering sound, and you were ashamed of your obsession and left in a hurry. 】

[You finally arrived at the Yongchuan Library, the shopkeeper told you that if you want to participate in the anthology, you must prepare a painting, a copybook, a bookkeeper, you must be able to count, and you must be able to chant poems. 】

[Speaking, hand over a piece of drawing paper, calligraphy, and ledger produced by Yongchuan to you, and ask you to inscribe poems on the painting. 】

[The shopkeeper then asked you what your surname was, but you can have a token to prove your identity. 】

[You hesitate and pull out the 'Ore Ring'. 】
