Chapter 20: The New Lord of the City

Shu Shuang's mouth opened slightly, and said:

"The poison has been solved, but my aunt has suppressed the poison with calming and sleeping drugs for two consecutive months, and her body is very weak, so she must make up for it well, otherwise she will fall into a dark disease. ”

This is not bad news, but the family's economic conditions and meat can't be bought, how can they make up for it?

Xia Jinghong frowned, this poisonous ordinary doctor couldn't see it, otherwise he would definitely not let his wife take the medicine to calm down. That's just a trick that seems to work, but actually wears away the body.

"Xu'er and I went to the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Xia Jinghong wanted to leave, but Xia Xiao grabbed his stout wrist.

"Father, you accompany your mother, and I will go with my eldest brother!"

Xia Xiao said goodbye and went out with Xia Xu, but Shu Shuang did not follow. As the best person in the family, she had to stay with her aunt.

The Xia family, who was demoted here, couldn't do business and couldn't be officials, but they had to eat. For more than a year, Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu have obtained the money they rely on to survive by helping the city lord, although their status is lower, no one dares to underestimate them. Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu are the strongest in the entire Longgang City!

Now that Longgang City has changed its lord, I heard that the fat pig surnamed Yang died suddenly. This kind of nonsense can deceive everyone, but it can't deceive the Xia family. The people who were bought by the Zhu family will naturally be eliminated if they are useless!

"The new city owner is also surnamed Yang. ”

Xia Xu reminded, Xia Xiao nodded. I don't know if I can find an errand from him, it doesn't matter if it's dangerous, the main thing is that the money is fast!

Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu were injured some time ago and couldn't do things, so that the current Xia family has run out of ammunition. Even if they don't have a mother, they need money.

When I came to the city lord's mansion, I didn't expect it to be full of people. Most of them shouted and said sarcastic things.

"Which kind of city lord are you, and if something like this happens in the city, don't you care?"

"Shouldn't you eat the food of the dynasty and do things for the people of the dynasty?"

"Unconscious!"

......

More than a dozen people wept and mourned, and each sentence became more and more ugly. Finally, the tall and thin new city lord walked out of the house and stood in front of everyone.

This new city lord gave Xia Xiao a very weak feeling, but he spoke hard.

"Everyone, everyone, listen to me!"

"I'm already thinking of a way, everyone give me some time, within three days, I will find the cause of the incident and explain it to everyone clearly. But if everyone continues to make such trouble, it will only delay the investigation process, and the real cause of death of your relatives will not be certain!"

With that, he was so angry that he walked away. The people came and continued to shout.

Yesterday you said that today's results will be released, and today you say that it will take three days, aren't you a cheater?"

"We're paying for it!"

"If there is no result, return my father's body to me!"

......

Xia Xu released a burst of vitality, which shocked everyone, and then stepped into the City Lord's Mansion with Xia Xiao.

Compared to the Xia Mansion that was once located in the imperial capital, the City Lord's Mansion was only a drop in the middle, but Xia Xiao hadn't seen such a big courtyard for a long time.

The guards blocking the door couldn't hold Xia Xiao and the others, they quickly caught up with the city lord and saluted.

"What are you going to do?"

The tall and thin Yang City Lord was a little displeased.

"We are willing to serve the city lord, and we ask the city lord to tell me what happened. ”

"I know you, and I can probably guess the purpose of your trip. However, as a dynasty official, it is my duty to help the people solve their problems. And the dynasty ordered that you can't be allowed to become businessmen and officials, and I won't do anything about hiring you at a low price from the previous city lord!"

Xia Xu didn't expect this new city lord to be so stubborn, and immediately said:

"Although I don't know what happened, so many people are waiting, if it drags on any longer, let alone three days, even tomorrow they will come to the door again. What are you going to do when things get bigger?"

The eldest brother said well, but his big grinning personality made his words a little sarcastic. Seeing the city lord's angry eyes, Xia Xiao added:

"The city lord is dedicated to the people, or the overall situation is the most important!"

"You ......"

The city lord was speechless for a while, he knew that Xia Xu was one of the strongest people in Longgang City, and the only one who could fight with him was his father Xia Jinghong. As for the one beside him, it is Xia Xiao, who once caused a sensation in the dynasty!

If they had joined, they would have quickened the matter, but he stuck to his principles and walked away.

"Damn it!"

Xia Xu squeezed his fists, he was really stubborn, it didn't make sense.

"Let's take a look, he seems to be in a hurry!"

When the guards of the City Lord's Mansion saw it, they were about to speak, but they were scared into a cold sweat by Xia Xu's eyes. Under its earthy yellow eyes, several of the guards did not dare to move. This is the characteristic of the Spirit Eyes, the Honorable Realm Branching Strong!

I saw that the city lord hurriedly entered the back hall. Among them were three deceased, their blackened bodies were awkward, their bones seemed to be misplaced, their faces were hideous, their bodies were covered in scars, and their hands were stained with blood.

"Are you sure?"

An old man put away his vitality and nodded:

"Hmm! It is indeed the poison of the third-order desolate beast ring-shaped red snake. ”

Xia Xiao and Xia Xu looked at each other and entered the door. When the city lord who was about to open his mouth saw it, he shouted angrily:

"Get them out of here!"

"Lord of the City, I have a solution to the poison!"

Xia Xiao replied loudly, and then said:

"The poison in my mother's body has been cured, and there are medicinal herbs that can detoxify!"

The old man's face stiffened, and he said:

"Don't be a fool, how do ordinary people know the way to detoxify?"

"The old gentleman is right, but my Xia family is not ordinary. ”

As soon as Xia Xu's words came out, he attracted the laughter of the old man, and the city lord's face became even more pale, he was really faceless and skinless, are the Xia family like this?

"Xiao'er, let's talk about it!"

In this matter, Xia Xiao has the most right to speak.

"The ring-shaped red snake is so poisonous that the poisoned person will get sick at night and tear himself madly. It is necessary to grind the roots of the ice-borne grass that grows on the snow-capped mountains into grains, remove the stems of the grass leaves, and then ...... other palliative herbs."

Speaking of this, the old man's face had changed.

"How do you know?"

"As I said, the poison in my mother's body has been cured. ”

"You...... You found the Ice Grass?"

The old man's face made the city lord curious, Ice Continuation Grass is so rare?

"Xiaosheng is fortunate to have found three plants at the Snow Dragon Road Crossing!"

Xia Xiao spoke politely, the current Xia family is not as good as it was at the beginning. And you must have a good relationship with the new city lord, so that the Xia family's life will be better. Although the latter was a little stubborn, Xia Xiao didn't hate this kind of principled person, at least better than the previous city lord!

"There are still poisoned people in the city, three ice grasses, there must be left, right?"

Seeing Xia Xiao nodding, the old man hurriedly said:

"You sell it to the old man, the old man is in a hurry to save people, you can spend as much as you want!"

"Good!"

Mother's poison has been cured, and these ice grasses can just solve the urgent task. Instead of selling to the drugstore, give it to them like this. In this way, not to mention the problem of money, but also to gain a favor. Sooner or later, the money will run out, but the favor will be difficult to return!

"The old gentleman can send someone to my house and fetch the ice grass directly. ”

The old man looked at the city lord, who was stunned for a moment, and immediately found someone to go, not forgetting to tell him to have a good attitude!

"As long as there is ice grass, no one will die!"

The old man was a little excited, but looking at the three corpses on the ground, he sighed deeply, human life is fragile!

"I had a bad attitude before, I'm so sorry!"

Seeing the city lord like this, Xia Xiao is a novelty, since he openly apologized to himself and his eldest brother, it seems that this city lord's broad-mindedness is not pretended.

"Lord of the Castle, please tell me about this. ”

The city lord smiled.

"The money of the ice grass is only a lot more, and it is because of you that more than a dozen people in the city are in danger, but I will solve this matter, it is my responsibility!"

"Lord City, you misunderstood, the eldest brother is not entangled in the matter of money, but this matter is related to the mother, we want to understand clearly. If that ring-shaped red snake was still doing something, with its third-order strength, Longgang City would be difficult to parry! Even if it could be killed, there would be sacrifices. ”

As soon as he said this, the city lord's face was serious, and finally he sighed helplessly.

"Well, let me tell you! There is indeed a ring-shaped red snake, and after being bumped into the night before, it fled to Wumin Mountain!"

"It can't be the three of them, right?"

"Yes, it's them! These three unlucky guys had their arms strangled off on the spot, and they still had poison in their bodies. There was also a lucky one who survived, but he was drunk at the time and couldn't be sure of what he said, so I invited Pu Lao to confirm the poison. Word of this has spread, and yesterday alone, sixteen anomalies came out, saying that they couldn't control themselves in the middle of the night. This is more serious than we thought!"

Many people must not have imagined that this is poison, thinking that it is some kind of strange disease, so they hide it, and do not want to delay until now, it has become more and more serious. When the city lord was silent, Xia Xu said:

"Don't be so low, our two brothers will go to Wumin Mountain to kill the ring-shaped red snake, and you can give the people an explanation!"

"This ......"

The city lord and the old man looked at each other and said again and again.

"And what if it comes back tonight?"

"This ......"

The city lord hesitated, but finally got up and saluted.

"It's troublesome for the two, as long as the two of them kill them and bring them back to eliminate the people's grievances, I, Yang Zhending, should be grateful!"

Xia Xu and Xia Xiao nodded and turned to leave.

Yang Zhen asked the old man.

"Old Pu, I'm afraid two ice grass is not enough, right?"

"Seven of these sixteen people are seriously ill, so let's treat them first. They estimated that they would be the first to be bitten, and as for the other nine people, they would be suppressed with calming drugs first, and then they would be treated after the dynasty approved the ice and grass to come down. ”

The city lord nodded, thinking very good. has been poisoned twice, and the ring-shaped red snake is also ruthless enough, but if Xia Xu and Xia Xiao make a move, it will die!

"Come on, prepare a hundred taels of silver!"

When his subordinates heard this, they panicked, where did they get so much money?

"Bring me all my money, and if it's not enough, let the big guys get together!"

Although his subordinates are said to be, their faces are very dark. This new city owner is a rigid goods, no wonder he was transferred from the imperial capital to Longgang. After taking office, no one will accept money, and it is strictly forbidden for subordinates not to accept money. This makes them strapped for money, not to mention, and now they have to pay backwards, what a fool! I miss the former city lord, and I have money to spend with him......

"City Lord, the Ice Grass has been fetched!"

When the men returned, in addition to the wooden box containing the two ice grasses, there was also a small bottle.

"What is this?"

"The Xia family rarely travels, and they don't know the situation in the city, and after the villain told them, they took out all the unused medicines. ”

The city lord had some good feelings in his heart, the Xia family was worthy of being a big family in the past, and it was really a bit courageous! By the way, it was said that the Xia family was relegated to this place because Xia Xiao lied to someone who came from afar and couldn't practice, but Xia Xiao can also practice! It's really strange, could it be that there is something else hidden?
