123 The monstrous fame and wealth(1/2)

As soon as the official ship of the magistrate of Gusu Wang County docked, more than a hundred yamen runners wearing red ribbons and gongs and drums were carrying plaques, and hundreds of porters followed.

Zhouzhuang Water Town suddenly became lively.

The villagers, fishermen, butcher Zhang and his wife, matchmakers, little widows, etc. hurriedly avoided each other on both sides of the road and paid homage to the county magistrate.

Mr. Su and Mrs. Su were panicked and wanted to hide beside the road to bow to the county magistrate, but Su Chen pressed his hands. Both old men sat steadily on the table without moving at all.

"Little official, please pay tribute to Lord Su Shangxian!"

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

Of course, only Su Shangxian’s parents can sit quietly by.

"Keep to the two fairy fathers and the immortal mother!"

County Magistrate Wang hurriedly bowed deeply to Dad Su next to Su Chen and Mother Su.

Since Dad Su and Mother Su came to beat Butcher Zhang, they were confused and didn't understand what was going on. Seeing that County Magistrate Wang bowed to his son and bowed to them, they felt even more dizzy and confused.

The Su family has been fishing for generations and has suffered poverty for the rest of their lives. The biggest officials they have ever met in their lives are the township officers and the yamen runners. They have never seen the noble Gusu County Magistrate, let alone the county Magistrate, who actually gave them a great gift.

Of course, no one dares to say that their two elders are rude. They don’t need to do anything, they just need to accept the greeting of the county magistrate.

"Mr. Wang, what are you doing with this team?"

Su Chen looked at County Magistrate Wang and said lightly.

He came back quietly to see his parents, just because he was afraid that the noise would be too big, so he could have been with his parents quietly for a few days, his second brother and third sister.

But the county magistrate of Wang and County are so full of fanfare that Zhouzhuang will probably have no more quiet moments.

The magistrate Wang quickly showed a flattering look and said: "Su Shangxian, it is not a small official who wants to disturb the Qingxian's tranquility! But you are fighting against the Giant Whale Gang, making great achievements for the imperial government, the people of Wu County, and the children of Wu County!

If you don’t claim this top-notch contribution to the extermination of the Giant Whale Gang, no one dares to claim it! The wealthy businessmen and people in Gusu city can walk on all rivers with peace of mind from now on, and they all have a strong hope to offer a gift to the immortal.

Look at the porters' hundreds of loads of high-quality silk, porcelain and wealth, which are not given to you by small officials, but by all the people of Gusu City.

After you fought this battle, you disappeared silently. You showed your side in Yanyu Tower and disappeared again, but it was so hard for us to find it!

As soon as I got the news from Zhang Bantuo, I brought the things I had prepared long ago, first to pay a visit to the immortal, and come to Zhouzhuang for a brief arrangement.

Soon, the imperial envoy, Lord Wang and the prefect Zhao, would also bring rewards from the court. Even the gangs of the rivers and lakes, the Medicine King Gang, the Heavenly Eagle Gate Crown, the Horse Gang Li Shuo and other masters would lead their disciples to Zhouzhuang to pay homage to the Supreme Immortal to thank the Supreme Immortal for saving his life in the Battle of Taihu!"

Su Chen was silent.

Since the person is here, let's do it first.

County Magistrate Wang hurriedly ordered the three yamen runners to clear the largest house in the town, Zhou Xiangshen and his family went out and empty the large mansion.

It’s also good that there is a decent place to entertain the prefect of Wu County, Lord Zhao, and the imperial envoy of the court, so as to facilitate everyone to pay homage to the Supreme Immortal.

...

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

When Zhao Juzhen learned that Su Shangxian appeared in Zhouzhuang, he was very anxious and immediately rushed to Zhouzhuang with the officials from the prefect's palace.

He sent someone to find 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 the imperial envoy Wang.

Zhao Juzhen was afraid that Su Chen would leave again, so he was left empty-handed.

"Hurry, don't delay! Hurry up and run faster!"

He thought the boat was too slow and eager to take the boat, he changed into a sedan chair and urged the eight yamen runners to carry the sedan chair and run.

"Premier Zhao is here!"

"The imperial envoy Wang has arrived!"

Dozens of yamen runners were walking vigorously, carrying two pairs of sedan chairs, followed by three or four hundred officers and soldiers running all the way.

Zhao Juzhen, the prefect of Wu County, brought officials from all over the country to the thirteen counties of Wu County, and there were at least a thousand people.

In addition, the senior leaders of gangs from all sizes and gangs in Wujun River and Lake even came in groups to arrive in Zhouzhuang to visit Su Shangxian.

...

The prefect Zhao, the imperial envoy Wang, and the gangs in Wujun, surrounded Su Shangxian, the two elders of the Su family, brothers and sisters gathered in a large mansion in Zhouzhuang.

Su Chen came to the lobby, sat down at the right seat, looked at Zhao Juzhen, the imperial envoy and others, and said indifferently: "Mr. Zhao is here in Zhouzhuang this time, I don't know what it means?"

"The lower official Zhao Juzhen, pay homage to Su Shangxian! There are two things to pay homage to the superior immortal during this trip. One is that some talismans and miscellaneous items left behind by the Hanshan demonic path, and I hope the superior immortal will deal with it. There is also a piece of silver and wealth issued by the imperial court that the subordinate officials must give it to the superior immortal himself. The second is that it is related to today's son."

Zhao Juzhen, the prefect of Wu County, quickly gave a big gift to Su Chen.

As a fourth-rank official in the court, the prefect who was in charge of the country had no possibility of kneeling to others except for the court's emperor of the Tang Dynasty and his parents and ancestors at home.

Of course, immortals are very special exceptions. Immortals are the heavens! Worshiping immortals means bowing to the heavens.

Zhao Juzhen paid a visit to Su Chen to explain his purpose.

Soon, some officials sent a wooden box containing some talismans and miscellaneous items left by Hanshan Zhenren. Another official took the lead and carried a few heavy boxes, which were heavy with tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Su Chen did not refuse.

"When I am looking for immortals and asking for the Tao today, I am willing to treat the immortals with the courtesy of the national teacher, and hope that the immortals can move to Chang'an, the capital of the country."

Zhao Juzhen continued to say.

In the large courtyard, the leaders of the gangs in the rivers and lakes and the rich men all exclaimed in a low voice.

The emperor sought the immortal and asked, "The imperial court granted a national guru, which means he had a huge power and endless wealth. He was many times stronger than staying in this small Wu County.

"I don't know that Xianren Su, would he want to go to Chang'an to be the Immortal Master of the Protection of the Country?"

Zhao Juzhen asked respectfully and carefully.

"I have no intention of the world and the court... You can't give what I want. You can't give what you can give, it's not what I want. Lord Prefect Go back."

Su Chen said indifferently.

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

The emperor wanted to find the immortal and ask.

But he had only just had a first glimpse of the way to cultivate immortals and did not know what to do next. Where can he have the ability to guide the current emperor.

"this..."

The prefect Zhao Juzhen, the envoy Wang, and the leaders of all the gangs looked at each other in all directions.

I simply refused?!

Su Shangxian is single-minded and immortal way, and he looks down on the vast worldly wealth and honor. This is not difficult to understand. The endless prosperity and supreme fame and fortune in the world are only useful to ordinary people.

Su Chen scattered all the 50,000 taels of gold last night, and it was obvious that the vast wealth and honor were in his eyes, as lowly as dirt. They didn't have what the immortal wanted in their hearts.

After all, they have never really seen any immortal, who is nostalgic in the world.

The envoy of Wang Qin and the prefect Zhao Juzhen looked at each other.

They had already made other preparations to please the Supreme Immortal. Since the Supreme Immortal doesn't want it, the Supreme Immortal's family always needs these. In the eyes of the Immortal, there will always be some expression.

The imperial envoy Wang smiled and asked Erlang of Su's family, "Little brother, what do you want? Be a general and a high-ranking official of the court?"

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

Zhao Juzhen quickly asked, "Brother, do you want to study?"

Second brother Su thought about it, and nodded seriously this time, "I think, my father said, scholars are the most capable."

Zhao Juzhen was overjoyed and said, "I am a Jinshi of the current dynasty. This enlightenment teacher of Su Erlang is my Zhao Juzhen! The person who came here changed the youngest son of the Su family to the first-class good son of Wu County, and the prefect was his own teacher."

Commissioner Wang Qin was immediately disheartened and vomited blood.

This Zhao Taishou Tai is good at poaching. You are a famous Jinshi from the Zhao family. You are a teacher of the enlightenment and teaching teacher for an eight or nine-year-old child. Are you still shameless!

The envoy Wang quickly said to Su Sanmei: "Su Xiaomei, what do you want?"

Su Sanmei hid behind her parents in a hurry.

"Dad Su, Mother Su, what are your two elders' wishes?"

The envoy Wang Qin had no choice but to ask the two elders.

Dad Su thought for a while and said tremblingly: "I have been fishing for the rest of my life, and I am not used to it. I have been thinking about how to change to a large fishing boat, so I can go to the lake to fish!"

Suddenly, the officials and the rich men in the world burst into laughter.

With the son Su Shangxian, do you still need to go to the lake to fish in the rest of your life? I’m afraid the fish will jump into your pocket!

"Dad Su wait! Come and bring the deeds from the fields, land, mountains and lakes in the yamen!"

Zhao Juzhen said hurriedly.

He helped Dad Su, led the officials out of the mansion, pointed to a lake in the distance and ordered: "Dad Su, look at that lake! Paint the lake for fifty miles, from the lake to the fish in the lake, to a water grass under the lake, from then on, you will be home to your Su family for generations and renamed Suxian Lake."

He pointed to a piece of land not far away and said, "From here, one hundred acres of land is divided into one Su family mansion, and it is Su Xian Mansion!"

He pointed to the fertile fields in the distance and said, "Divid the fertile fields in Zhouzhuang for a hundred hectares and ten thousand acres, and return to the Su family!"

He pointed to a mountain not far away and said, "The mountain forest in Zhouzhuang is 10,000 acres, and it is renamed Su Xianshan, and it is returned to the Su family!"
