Chapter 181: The Good Guy Who Was Forced to Become a Liar (Part 1)

Is it worth digging a huge gold mine in Sansha City?

Ding Wen found it interesting... He saw people coming and going on the streets, and then he heard passers-by say that these were all raised by the villages to raise funds for one person. Usually they went to the city to dig for ten days and half a month, either digging gold mines or spending all the money before they went back.

Ding Wen thought that something was wrong, so he went to the city gate again, gave some money, and found some information from the earth immortal.

Simply put, there are many people who go into the city to dig gold mines every day.

In addition to the collective funds of the village, many individuals also come to bet on luck after saving some money. They often lose money after digging for a day. They go to the city hungry in the morning and leave hungry, saving money for eating, drinking, water and accommodation.

Ding Wen rented iron pickaxes and other tools in the city and confirmed that these businesses were operated by the City Lord's Mansion. These tools are rented for five taels of silver a day, and then water. A fixed-sized bag and two taels of silver are usually the amount of one day. If you try your best to save, you can last for two days, but you will have to replenish water after leaving the city the next day. You can eat three meals a day and all the eight taels of silver is included. Multiple fixed points in the city provide regular meals.

There are many kinds of costs for overnight stays. The price for inns is one, renting tents and rope beds is also different. You don’t want anything. If you sleep on the street, you will charge a nightly land fee of one or two silver dollars.

When digging gold mines into the city, the minimum expense per day is usually twenty-one taels of silver; if you dig a day, you can save ten taels of silver.

Originally, Ding Wen expected that there must be many people going to the city to mine. If there were fewer people, then there would be no need for the city lord's mansion in Sansha City to do this business. Just keep the giant gold mine. Since you have been collecting money and letting people dig it, the income must be much higher than the value of the giant gold mine.

Ding Wen asked in the street and found that the lord of Sansha City had no evil habits. When people in the city chatted, they said that the lord of Sansha City liked to eat noodles and didn't care much about anything else. The city guard is responsible for daily city affairs.

'The giant gold mine is certainly a scam, but the city lord has no other evil habits and it is not necessary to expose it.' Seeing that it was getting late, Ding Wen had already delayed it until this time, he settled in the city.

At night, as Ding Wen expected, the lord of the Secret City did not need to entrust him to find out the truth. He suddenly appeared in the room and woke him up and said, "Come with me!"

The night curfew in Sansha City, but this is the practice of many cities.

It was dark and people came and went on the streets, which was not conducive to the patrol and managing public security in the earthly immortals. The dark night was used to cover theft and evil.

But with a curfew, at least there are no people wandering around. Those who dare to come out violate the ban and arrest them if they find out.

Ding Wenhe secretly walked through the streets and alleys in the city, and soon he arrived at a lane that was not a main road.

The secret city owner showed that through the cover of the vines, Ding Wen saw a man filling the soil on the ground into the pit through the gap.

The secret city lord said softly: "The city lord of Sansha City is burying a gold mine."

Ding Wen couldn't help laughing and made a fuss. After a long time, all the talent of the star spirits that turned into gold mines was fake. The gold mines were actually buried quietly every night.

Ding Wen jumped gently, crossed the fence, and landed next to the lord of Sansha City.

Although the distance was close, the light was too dark, and neither of them could see the other person's description clearly.

Until suddenly a ball of light lit up from the star energy bead in Ding Wen's open left palm, he saw clearly the reflection on the top of the gold mine that had not been completely buried in the pit.

Ding Wen looked at the gold mine, and then looked at the lord of Sansha City.

The latter looked at him, and was silent for a while, and suddenly handed over the hoe in his hand and said, "Just pretend that you didn't see anything, fill the soil for me first. If you come here to dig a gold mine tomorrow, you will think it's a closure fee. I have to eat some noodles first, I'm hungry."

Ding Wen felt that he was calm and didn't know whether he had experience or deliberately made him relax his vigilance. In fact, he wanted to silence him at the right time.

Ding Wen wanted to know very much, so he took the hoe and started filling the soil.

"It's almost wiped out the light, and it's not good for the patrolling earth immortals!" The lord of Sansha City was fat and big-eared, shirtless, sweaty, and digging a lot of pits. He couldn't use any means to make noises and quiet. It seemed that he had worked hard a lot.

Ding Wen wrapped a layer of cloth, and the light of the star energy bead became hazy. "I can't see without light, how could you dig it out in a dark way?"

"Nothing else, I'm only familiar!" said the lord of Sansha City, opening a box on the ground, and a wooden barrel was filled with it. The lid was opened, and a scent of the face spread out.

Ding Wen was surprised to see it and secretly wondered that the wooden barrel was one meter high and so deep, how could he eat noodles directly as a bowl?

The lord of Sansha City picked up the face with chopsticks and fed it into his mouth, then pressed his palms on his knees, arched his body slightly, and began to suck his mouth...

The surface was continuously sucked out of the bucket and was eaten by the lord of Sansha City. He never stopped in his mouth, and the bunch of surface had never been broken.

Ding Wen was amazed at the sight. The first time he saw someone eating noodles like this, and the first time he saw someone finish a wooden bucket of noodles in one bite!

The lord of Sansha City patted his stomach with satisfaction, and breathed comfortably and said: "Comfortable, comfortable... Delicious in the world!"

At this moment, Ding Wen remembered the Lord of Xiashui City.

It’s just that one is obsessed with going to the water, and the other is obsessed with the face.

Ding Wen started chatting with Sansha City while filling the soil and asked him: "What are you trying to dig soil and bury mines every day?"

"What are you trying to do?" The city lord of Sansha City sighed and said, "Of course it's for money! I don't care about the messy troubles in the city, so I just want to be a city lord who can't finish noodles every day, so that my parents, wife and children can't finish noodles."

"As the city lord, I can't afford to eat noodles? I still need to use this method to make money?" Ding Wen felt incredible.

"You have never been a city lord, you don't know at all!" The city lord of Sansha City pretended to be bitter and poured it out directly, counting the amount of various expenses, and saying how pitiful the less taxes in the city are.

"Sansha City has a large population, so the tax revenue is not that small, right?" Ding Wen couldn't count it.

"I became the city lord. When I saw that people on this street were not easy to live, I was very pitiful, so I was exempted from taxes. My parents and my wife were all soft-hearted, and when I saw that life was not easy, I pleaded for it, and I waived it. As a result, as soon as the city guardian had settled together at the end of the year, he could only charge a little money."

"..." Ding Wen was speechless. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing and couldn't help asking: "Then I'll just adjust it again? Don't avoid it if you shouldn't."
