As soon as the official ship of the county order of Gusu Wang docked, more than 100 officials wearing red ribbons and beating gongs and drums carried plaques, and hundreds of porters followed closely behind.

Zhouzhuang Water Town became lively.

The village women, fishermen, Zhang Butcher and his wife, as well as matchmakers, little widows, etc., hurriedly avoided on both sides of the road to meet the county magistrate.

Father Su and Mrs. Su panicked, and also wanted to hide on the side of the road to bow to the county order, but they were pressed by Su Chen's hands. The two elders sat firmly at the table and couldn't move a bit.

"Little official, knock on Lord Su Shangxian!"

Wang Xianling saw Su Chen sitting in the middle of the banquet, his face showed excitement, and he stepped forward quickly, and Su Chen bowed.

The only ones who can sit on the side safely, of course, are Su Shangxian's old father and mother.

"Meet the two fairy fathers and fairy mothers!"

Wang Xian Ling hurriedly bowed deeply to Father Su and Mrs. Su next to Su Chen.

Father Su and Mrs. Su have been a little confused since the butcher came, and they didn't understand what was going on. Seeing Wang Xianling bowing to his son and bowing to the two of them, it felt like the world was spinning and muddy.

Their Su family has been fishing for generations, and they have been poor all their lives, and the biggest officials they have ever seen in their lives are only the township leaders and the head of the government service. I have never seen the honorable Gusu County Commander, let alone the county Commander actually saluted them.

Of course, no one dared to say that the two of them were rude. They don't have to do anything, they just need to accept the visit of the county magistrate.

"Wang County Order, what are you doing in this formation?"

Su Chen looked at Wang Xianling and said lightly.

He quietly came back to see his father and mother this time, just because he was afraid that the movement would be too big, so he could spend a few days quietly with his father, second brother and third sister.

But this Wang County order is so fanfare, I am afraid that there will be no moment of silence in Zhuang this week.

Wang Xian Ling hurriedly showed a flattering look, and said flatteringly: "Su Shangxian, it's not that a petty official wants to disturb the tranquility of Shangxian! But you are fighting to encircle and suppress the Giant Whale Gang, and you have made great miraculous achievements for the imperial court, the people of Wu County, and the children of the rivers and lakes of Wu County!"

If you don't claim this top-class achievement of exterminating the Giant Whale Gang's water bandits, no one will dare to claim it! The wealthy merchants and ordinary people in Gusu City can walk on the rivers with peace of mind, and they all have a strong hope to offer a small gift to the immortals.

Look at the hundreds of loads of high-quality silk and porcelain goods of the porters, they were not sent by petty officials, they were sent to you by the people of Quangu Suzhou City.

After you fought this battle, you disappeared without a sound. In the smoke and rain building, it showed up and disappeared, but it was so hard for us to look up and down!

I just got the news from Zhang Bantou, so I brought the things that had been prepared a long time ago, came to meet the immortals first, and came to Zhouzhuang to arrange it a little.

Soon, Lord Qincha Wang and Lord Taishou Zhao will also bring rewards from the imperial court. There are even those gangs in the rivers and lakes, such as the Medicine King Gang Sun Lao, the Heavenly Eagle Gate Jackdaw, the Ma Gang Li Shuo and other grandmasters, will also lead their disciples to Zhouzhuang to meet the Immortals to thank the Immortals for their life-saving grace in the Battle of Taihu Lake!"

Su Chen was silent.

Since the people are coming, let's do this first.

Wang Xianling hurriedly instructed the three classes of officials to clear the largest house in the town, the Zhou squire's family, out of the house, and vacate the big mansion.

It is also good to have a decent place to entertain Lord Zhao of Wu County and Lord Qinchawang of the imperial court, so as to facilitate everyone to meet the immortals.

...

On the waterway from Gusu County to Zhouzhuang, three huge official ships were sailing slowly, carrying a large number of goods to Zhouzhuang.

Zhao Juzhen was very anxious when he heard the news of Su Shangxian's appearance in Zhouzhuang, and immediately rushed to Zhouzhuang with the officials of the Taishou Mansion.

He sent someone to look for Su Chen for several days, but he couldn't find anyone.

Now that he finally got the news again, Su Chen appeared in Zhouzhuang, he was afraid that Su Chen would disappear again, so he hurriedly came with Lord Qincha Wang.

Zhao Juzhen was afraid that Su Chen would leave again, so he fell into the void again.

"Hurry, Hugh will delay! Hurry, run faster!"

Thinking that the boat ride was too slow, he changed into a sedan chair and urged the eight officials to carry the sedan chair and run away.

"Mrs. Zhao is here!"

"Lord Qincha has arrived!"

Dozens of officials carried two sedan chairs and walked like flying, followed by three or four hundred officers and soldiers who were running fast.

Zhao Juzhen, the Taishou of Wu County, came with officials from the thirteen counties of Wu County, at least nearly a thousand people.

In addition, the high-level gang leaders of various gangs in Wujun County came in groups and arrived in Zhouzhuang to meet Su Shangxian.

...

Zhao Taishou, Lord Qinchawang, and the gangs of the rivers and lakes of Wu County, surrounded by Su Shangxian, the second elder of the Su family, and his younger brother and sister, gathered in a large mansion in Zhouzhuang.

Su Chen came to the lobby, sat down in the main seat, glanced at Zhao Juzhen, Qin Cha and others, and said indifferently: "Lord Zhao came to Zhouzhuang this time, I don't know what he means?"

"Xiaguan Zhao Juzhen, meet Su Shangxian! There are two things to meet Shangxian on this trip. One is that the Hanshan Demon Dao left some talismans and sundries, and looked at the immortals to dispose of them. There is also a reward for bandits and goods issued by the imperial court, which also needs to be handed over to the immortals in person. Second, it is related to today. ”

Wu Jun Taishou Zhao Juzhen hurriedly made a big salute to Su Chen.

As the four-rank official of the imperial court, the Taishou who sits on one side, except for bowing to the Tang Dynasty on the court and bowing to his parents and ancestors at home, there is absolutely no possibility of kneeling to others.

Of course, the immortals are very special exceptions. Worshipping immortals means bowing to the heavens.

Zhao Juzhen met Su Chen and explained his intention.

Soon, some officials sent a wooden box containing some talismans and sundries left by the real people of Hanshan. Another official carried a few heavy large boxes, which were heavy with tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Su Chen did not refuse.

"Today, the son has the heart to ask for immortals, and he is willing to treat the immortals with the gift of the national teacher, and hope that the immortals can move to Chang'an, the capital of the country. ”

Zhao Juzhen continued.

In the large courtyard, all the gang leaders and high-rollers in the rivers and lakes exclaimed in low voices.

The Son of Heaven asked the immortals, the imperial court gave a national teacher, which means that the power is monstrous and the wealth is inexhaustible. I don't know how many times stronger than staying in this small Wu County.

"I don't know the Su immortals, are you willing to go to Chang'an as a protector of the country?"

Zhao Juzhen asked respectfully and carefully.

"I have no intention of rivers and lakes and courts... You can't give me what I want. What you have given is not what I want. Let's go back. ”

Su Chen said indifferently.

He did not refuse those who gave gifts, but accepted them indifferently.

The Son of Heaven asked if he wanted to find an immortal.

But the way of cultivating immortals, he himself has only just gotten a glimpse of it, and he doesn't know what to do next. Where is there any ability to guide the Son of Heaven today.

"This..."

Zhao Juzhen was too guarded, Wang Qincha was chase, and all the big and small gang leaders looked at each other.

That's a simple refusal?!

Su Shangxian is dedicated to immortal Taoism, and he can't look down on the worldly monstrous wealth, which is not difficult to understand. The endless prosperity between the red dust, the supreme fame and fortune, are only useful to them who are laymen.

Su Chen scattered all the 50,000 taels of gold last night, which shows that the monstrous wealth is really as low as dung in his eyes. What the immortals wanted, they didn't have.

After all, they hadn't really seen any immortals who were nostalgic for the red world.

Wang Qincha and Zhao Juzhen looked at each other.

They had already made other preparations to curry favor with the immortals. Since the immortals don't want it, then the immortals' family always need these. When the immortals see it in their eyes, they will always have something to say.

With a smile on his face, Lord Qincha asked Su Jiaerlang, "Little brother, what do you want? to be a general and a court official?"

Second Brother Su was at a loss, didn't understand what a general was, and said, "I want to eat meat." ”

Zhao Juzhen hurriedly interjected and asked, "Little brother, do you want to study?"

Second Brother Su thought about it, and nodded seriously this time: "Yes, Dad said, the best scholar is the best." ”

Zhao Juzhen was overjoyed and said: "I am a Jinshi of the dynasty, this Su Erlang's enlightenment teacher, it is none other than me Zhao Juzhen! ”

Wang Qincha was suddenly congested, depressed and vomiting blood.

This Zhao Taishou is too good at digging corners, you are a famous Zhao family when the great jinshi, when you are the enlightenment teacher of eight or nine-year-old children, do you still want face!

Wang Qincha hurriedly said to Su Sanmei: "Little Sister Su, what do you want?"

Su Sanmei cowered and hid behind her father.

"Father Su, Lady Su, what are your wishes?"

Wang Qincha was helpless, so he could only ask the second elder.

Father Su thought for a while, and said tremblingly: "The old man has been fishing for a lifetime, and he is not used to anything else. In the past two years, I have been thinking that I can change to a big fishing boat, and I can go to the lake to fish!"

Suddenly, the hall full of officials and high-rollers in the rivers and lakes all burst into laughter.

With Su Shangxian's son, do you still need to go to the lake to fish for the rest of your life? I'm afraid that the fish will rush to jump into the pocket!

"Daddy Su waits! Come on, bring the deeds of the fields, land, mountains, and lakes of the Yamen!"

Zhao Juzhen hurriedly said.

He helped Daddy Su, led the officials out of the mansion, pointed to a lake in the distance and instructed: "Daddy Su, look at that lake! Row the lake for fifty miles, from the surface of the lake to the fish in the lake, to the bottom of the lake, to a weed under the lake, from now on to your Su family, renamed Suxian Lake." ”

He pointed to a piece of land not far away and said, "From this place, a hundred acres of land will be divided, and a Su family's mansion will be built, which will be the Su Xian Mansion!"

He pointed to the good fields in the distance and said: "Divide the 100,000 acres of good land in Zhouzhuang and return it to the Su family!"

He pointed to a mountain not far away: "Divide the mountains and forests of Zhouzhuang with 100,000 acres and 10,000 acres, and change the name to Suxian Mountain, which belongs to the Su family!"

"All this, set up a lake deed, a land deed, a mountain forest deed, and a house deed, each to reward Su Shangxian, for the court, for the people of Wu County, for the rivers and lakes of Wu County, and for the miraculous achievements of Wu County!"

The county order of the king of Gusu City, who was on the side, listened to it, and vomited blood in pain.

There is no surplus ownerless fertile land in Gusu County, and these must all be carved out from the Wang family's property.

Zhao Taishou had said to him in advance, "The fields and mountains and forests assigned to the Su family must come out of your Wang family." This time the disaster of the Giant Whale Gang, let go of your Wang family first, otherwise, the source of the disaster of the Giant Whale Gang this time will have to be borne by your Wang family. ”

Wang Xianling's flesh was extremely painful, but he had to agree. Otherwise, the punishment whip of the court will be beaten down, and the Wang family is afraid that it will be even more painful.

"It's... How old is that?"

Father Su and Mrs. Su were in a trance, and the whole person was like a dream.

They have been fishing for generations, and all their lives they have lived on this small, old fishing boat that can only accommodate them, and they have no place on the shore. I don't know at all how many are 50 miles of lakes, 100 acres of mansions, 100 acres of fertile land, and 100 acres of mountains and forests.

Butcher Zhang, who was next to him, hurriedly sneered and said: "Uncle Su, your old eyes look over there, as long as you can see the good field, it will be your Su family's field in the future! As long as you can see the lake, it is your family's lake." That whole mountain is almost comparable to a Yaowang Mountain, which is your mountain. How big is your 100-acre house? I guess it can accommodate thousands of people. You're old all your life... Three or five generations of grandparents don't have to worry!"

On the side of this government and court, it is finally over.

Soon, the four major gangs and small gangs in Wu County offered all kinds of gifts they had prepared.

Some of the rest of the high-rollers stepped forward, bowed, bit their fingers, and swore by blood. They didn't dare to beg Su Shangxian, so they could only beg Su's father and Mrs. Su.

"I waited for a battle in Taihu Lake, and we all received the great grace of the immortals to save lives. In the future, with Father Su as the recognized ancestor of my Wujun Jianghu gang, the affairs of the Su family will be our business in the future. As long as I wait for a breath, I don't want to move a single hair of the Su family in Wu County. ”

"Father Su is above, and the disciples and grandchildren knock on the ancestors! ”

"We are willing to serve the Su family for generations and protect the Su family!"

Father Su panicked, how dare he accept them to bow down like this, and hurriedly helped them up.

Su Chen looked at it and sighed silently.

In the blink of an eye, the Su family has become a general trend, and there are countless first-class powerful families belonging to Wu County, which are stronger than those Wu County families.

The people who cling to the rivers and lakes, such as the Qing who crosses the river, can't be driven away.

Knowing that he couldn't persuade them, he could only let them go.

On the same day, the construction of the hundreds of acres of mansions of the Su family in Zhouzhuang began, and hundreds of craftsmen and thousands of handymen from Gusu City built a large mansion of blue bricks and black tiles out of thin air in this barren countryside.

On the main gate of Su Mansion, hang three big plaques of "Su Xian Mansion".

On both sides, there are two gold-lettered plaques of "Wujun True Immortal" and "Blessing to the People". There are also two bluestone lions, and dozens of strong men carried them from Gusu City by boat to guard the house.

...

Night.

Take advantage of the time when there are few people and it is quiet.

Su Chen saw the two elders of Father Su and Mrs. Su, and handed over a sealed bag to the second elder.

"This bag contains a record of the burial place of the five boxes, don't open it. The younger brother is now apprenticed to Zhao Taishou, and in the future, when he is admitted to the Juren and Jinshi, and after the age of thirty, he has achieved a great career and acts steadily, and then he will hand over this bag to him. Let him take out the five-bite box. ”

"As for the third sister, let her learn from the Lord of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, Jackdaw, and study martial arts. Stay with you and take care of you in the future. I have already told the Lord of the Humble Sect about this matter privately, and you don't need to worry about it. The four major gangs have all received my favor, and they will take care of one or two over the years. ”

Su Chen explained cautiously.

He couldn't stay at home and take care of it all the time.

After leaving, I don't have to worry about anything else. The second elder has a small vision, and the second brother and third sister are too young, so they are afraid that they will be bewitched and unable to control it under the sudden wealth, and they will squander it wantonly, and the gold and silver mountains will also be squandered in more than ten years.

No matter how much real estate and goods you have in front of you, if you can't keep it, it will be empty in the end.

But as long as the second brother follows Zhao Juzhen too much, he can learn all the skills he can learn when he becomes an adult, and leave those five big boxes, and the Su family will be able to make a comeback.

Father Su and Mrs. Su nodded again and again, and hid them carefully.

In the past two days, Su Chen has dealt with miscellaneous matters one after another. He handed over a few copies of the Golden Armor Talisman refined by Hanshan Zhenren to Zhao Taishou and Lord Qincha Wang, as well as a few big gang leaders, and also gave them some rewards. They won't use any other talismans, only this one is a defensive talisman that can be used for self-defense.
