At the waist of two groups of people, one person has a set of knives pinned to him.

Ye Ling stood in the middle, fiddling with the food on one side, cutting the dead on the other, and making them together, Ye Ling felt the diaphragm in his heart, so he hurriedly asked the Fuzhong brothers to take a few chefs to the kitchen to work.

After retiring the idle people, Ye Ling closed the door and discussed tea with him.

He bowed and said, "City Lord Ye, this time to disturb the City Lord's Mansion, the main reason is that a few of us have found two strange things in the Feng Mansion, and we don't dare to make a decision privately, so we have come to report and discuss with the City Lord." ”

Ye Ling raised his hand, "A few people don't have to be formal, if there is anything in the future, just go straight to the point." ”

When the leader heard this, he leaned forward and whispered.

In Feng's mansion, a total of seventy-three corpses were found.

In a big clan like the Feng family, every relative and servant must be registered for the record.

Those who pretended to be servants of the Feng Mansion, Feng Wanli would not let them into the mansion, so according to the number of registrations, there should be seventy-four people in the mansion.

"Did the person who was missing find out?, was it a domestic servant who escaped by luck?" Ye Ling asked.

The servants glanced at each other and said cautiously: "No, I have checked it repeatedly, and none of the servants were spared, and the missing corpse was the eldest son of the Feng family, Feng Yushu." ”

When Ye Ling heard this, he instantly frowned.

Under the bombardment of thunder, Feng Yushu did not dodge or dodge, and should have turned into a scorched corpse......

"Let's deal with the corpses of the rest of the people first, Feng Yushu's matter, I'll pay attention to it. Ye Ling got up and said.

Before leaving, the gods mysteriously confessed the second miracle.

They said that after the fire in the Feng Mansion was extinguished, the entire mansion was reduced to ruins, except for the Feng family ancestral hall in the northwest corner, and even the walls around it were burned down, and the ancestral hall was actually only slightly blackened on the outer wall.

With such a big fire, the ancestral hall can be said to be unscathed, which is very weird.

"Although the generations of the Feng family are hateful, their ancestors are all capable people, and in the future, the Feng Mansion will be demolished and converted into a private residence, as for the ancestral hall...... If the thunder doesn't extinguish it, just repair it and stay it. ”

Ye Ling gave an order, and the Feng Mansion occupied one-tenth of the huge mansion in Yuyang City, and it was split into two halves, half of which was originally built for the dwellings, and the other half was built for the Goolan Tile House.

............

Five years passed in a hurry like a white horse.

Ye Ling faded from his childish appearance, from a fourteen-year-old child to a nineteen-year-old boy.

Dressed in white, standing at the head of the city, under his governance, today's Yuyang City is full of vitality.

In the past five years, Ye Lingguang has been benevolent, first writing to his emperor brother to exempt Yuyang City from paying taxes for a whole year, so that the people can recover their livelihood under the aftermath of Fengfu, and then greatly promoting local transportation, building two large wharves within three years, making the already prosperous sea economy to a higher level.

Today's Yuyang City is not just an ordinary acropolis, but has been transformed into the richest city in the Hongyuan Empire!

The western towns along the Yujiang River are now also developing inland shipping on a large scale, working closely with Yuyang City to vigorously develop family handicraft manufacturing and crop cultivation, and sell their products to other continents, and live a prosperous life day by day.

Even, because Ye Ling had rich experience and was proficient in foreign languages, with Duan Weishan's permission, the Hongyuan Empire also expanded its trade to other continents.

In just five years, Ye Ling's exploits have long been no longer limited to a small city lord!

The market is full of eulogies and hymns about him.

The gold, silver and jewelry rewarded by the emperor back then were all used by Ye Ling to build a city-state, and now Yuyang City is rich, not only did he not lose money, but he had to expand the treasure house of his family many times!

If you are someone else, now that you have gained fame and fortune, you are naturally willing to lie on top of the mountain of gold and spend the rest of your life comfortably.

But Ye Ling is different.

In the year 439 of the Hongyuan Empire, the city lord of Yuyang City was changed, and the long-awaited former city lord Ye Ling announced his withdrawal from the competition.

The people in the city, and even the court officials, were all shocked and stunned.

It turned out that Ye Ling had already found a suitable successor, a rising star of the Li family, Li Yuncheng.

This descendant of the Li family, now 24 years old, went to study in the Mags mainland when he was a child, and has unique insights in economics and machinery manufacturing.

Moreover, his personality is similar to Ye Ling, and it is completely different from those wall grasses in the family.

The two are now close friends, and although Ye Ling has stepped down, he has also guided Li Yunqing behind his back from time to time.

This paragraph, for the time being, will not be detailed, in short, the change of the city lord has not changed much to Yuyang City, and the people are still living and working in peace and contentment, but on the dock, there are a few more metal cargo ships with strange styles.

............

At the age of nineteen, the most precious age in his life, Ye Ling took off the golden crown of the city lord, put on a bloodstained apron, and became an apprentice in the beef shop opposite Dengying Tower.

At first, everyone thought that Ye Ling was just here to experience the hardships of the people, and he worked in the butcher shop for two days and then went back.

Unexpectedly, he plunged into the shop, which was more than half a year.

This beef shop doesn't even have a decent signboard, but it is the most recognized one by the people throughout the process.

His beef is fresh and tender, full of pounds and pounds, the key is that it will never seep into the blood, and the taste is excellent.

From time to time, there are old people who are not dexterous in their legs, and they do not hesitate to come from far away and spend the morning just to buy a small piece of beef at this butcher shop.

As soon as Ye Ling came, the owner of the butcher shop dismissed all the other guys, and he never took a knife, and the beef bought by customers every day was all cut by Ye Ling alone.

Occasionally, when he was free, Ye Ling had to come to the shop and bring a tea fan to the boss.

The people of Yuyang City are really strange, this dignified city lord, the righteous brother of the Son of Heaven, the person who once held the Feng family at his feet, why should he deign to serve a butcher shop owner now?

This has to start from five years ago, when Ye Ling invited the cook from Dengyinglou to cook at home.

According to the Tibetan treasure pendant left by Ye Ling's father, there are hidden secret treasures of the heavenly realm in the area of Dengyinglou.

After the banquet was dispersed that day, Ye Ling personally sent the cook back to the restaurant, and asked the spirit mouse to invite fortune all the way.

Its nose is extremely sensitive to secret treasures, and it can detect all treasures within a radius of ten miles.

However, under Ye Ling's repeated inquiries, Zhaocai said that there was absolutely no treasure in this Dengying Building.

Immediately afterwards, Zhaocai jumped out of Ye Ling's pocket and ran to a shop opposite the restaurant, saying that he would vouch for his own rat name, the real treasure was not in Dengyinglou, but in this greasy shop!

It also said that if it looked away this time, it would be willing to be chopped up by Ye Ling in stew.

In the five years of office, Ye Ling has all the opportunities, and he is no easier than the emperor, so he really has no time to come to the butcher shop to hunt for treasures.

Later, he quit his position, so he couldn't wait to change into a coarse cloth dress and plunge into the shop.

The butcher shopkeeper's surname is Dao, and he has no special status, he is a common person, but because his body is very strong, his arms are thicker than other people's thighs, and his face is also very terrifying, everyone politely calls him "Dao Master".

With the character of the sword master, it is useless for others to say anything, Ye Ling serves him all day long with his noble status, and he is also at ease.

"Master, today's meat has been cut, there is still something in my house, leave a little early. Ye Ling wiped his hands in the greasy basin, took off his apron, and said to the boss.

"Wait. Dao Ye said in a deep voice, "Today is the first day of the fourth month, and it's time for our two sons to test their martial arts again." ”
