Chapter 10
10. Become the city lord from today
After dawn, I guess there should be a conclusion outside the city. Cao Sicai, who was tired and sweating profusely, came out of Cao's house.
Can you not be tired if you move a few hundred kilograms of silver and some antique utensils back to his house to hide it?
On the last trip, he returned to Cao's house to get a land deed. He held a stack of paper with no heavy weight and did not take up space. He packed a small package.
The Zhou family of the city lord never paid attention to the private money. Master Cao occupied a lot of private property in the city, especially the street shops, which belonged to his family and collected rent every year.
After suffering this disaster, no one knows what the situation in Green Willow City will be in the future. Whether these land deeds are worth the money is still between the two. Cao Si decided to take them outside the city gate and let's talk about it.
The city is full of disasters, but for Cao Si, it is the biggest turning point in his life. From now on, he is far away from poverty and will shake!
The Cao family will not decline. Without Master Cao, there will be Master Cao Si in the future!
Joy is better than sadness. It is already dawn again, and I am afraid of seeing the corpses on the street again.
As soon as I left Cao's house, I saw Shang Saner walking with a dog in front of Beitong Street, holding a peach in his left hand and a yellow wooden board under his right armpit, walking arrogantly!
He is worthy of being a good brother who is a daily mess. He is just as sensible and goes to the city to make a fortune at night. That guy will definitely make a lot of money!
Cao Si was secretly happy and rushed from behind with light steps.
First, I want to scare him a big horse fork, second, I want to grab Tao'er!
The peach looked plump and juicy, and somehow it didn't turn as dry as other fruit trees. The landlady said that the water and food in the city could not be imported. After a night of fatigue, smoke was already coming out of his throat. He took it over and looked at it and could produce saliva.
He tiptoed to catch up with him, just about to make a sound of frightened, but Shang Saner jumped back first and shouted: "Ha!"
Cao Si was frightened!
"Damn it, what are you scaring me?"
It was obvious that his family had the idea first, so it would not prevent him from suffering losses and then sneering. Seeing Shang Saner sneer, he asked again: "How are your teeth getting better? Which family did you make money? What are the benefits?"
After asking three questions in a row, Shang Saner only answered him: "I met an old god, who gave me some skills and cured my teeth!"
Can this guy meet a god like a bird?
Cao Si slapped the dust and stood up, thinking that Shang Saner lied again, pointing to the yellow wooden board under his armpit: "What good baby? Brother, take a look!"
He reached out to get the peach again: "Where did you find it? You can't eat it, just play with my brother."
Shang Saner avoided and asked him: "Where did you make money? Divide money!"
Cao Si did not hide it from him and clapped the package in his hand: "My master Cao family cannot be left to the hands of outsiders. I went and took a look. I didn't expect that it was just a big shot. The current silver was only a few dozen taels of taels of land, and the land deeds were quite large. The Cao clan always had the property, so I took it with me!"
I went to get the yellow wooden board under Shang Saner's armpit again: "What baby?"
I got it successfully this time, but it was just a chessboard. It was nothing special when I looked at it. It should be the same as my own land deed, which was a trick.
After curling his lips, throwing the chessboard back, Cao Si asked again: "What skills did you add to Lao Huang?"
Shang Saner flew up and kicked the dog out, then replied: "No, you can't kill him!"
Cao Si took a deep breath: "Is he so brave? Are you not afraid that your mother will beat you to death? She is more dear than her son!"
"How can I know if I'm not here?"
The old dog turned over and was fine, and did not bark or escape, and followed two fat rascals.
From this point of view, Lao Huang has indeed grown up, and Shang Saner's front teeth are all strange.
He really met the Immortal? The Concierge Office where he went?
He was confused, but he knew that he could not get the truth, so Cao Si held back first.
When he turned to Xizheng Street, Shang Saner hid the fairy peach in his arms, and had long been taught by my mother that he would not reveal his wealth.
Outside the Xicheng Gate, the county magistrate of Dongshan County has arrived. He is pacifying the refugees who have survived the disaster. The Tudi Po has successfully retired.
The 7,200 cities in the territory have different strengths, so they naturally cannot avoid annexation and vassals. There are many forces in the city, such as states, prefectures, royal palaces, general palaces, and sects. Anyway, they do not govern each other and use them indiscriminately.
The original Zhou family of Green Willow City was affiliated to Dongshan County. The head of this family, the city was in Longlin City, 400 miles east of the east. Because the eight cities it owns are all east of the Dilongshan Mountains, they call themselves Dongshan County, and the head of the family is called the county magistrate.
In addition to the Longlin of this city, some of the seven cities under Dongshan County are directly under the jurisdiction and some are only affiliated. Green Willow City is affiliated, and the city lord will be hereditary.
The city lord appointed by the Lu family, and the one who changes it every few years is the direct administration.
Green Willow City suffered a great disaster. Long Scale City had already received a message from God last night. It still knew that the devil was not over, and this city could no longer be a commoner.
There are only eight cities in total. Although Green Willow City is not directly under the jurisdiction, it has suffered a great disaster and cannot raise the people and gain more merit. From then on, one city is missing, and the Lu family also suffered a great loss. However, for the merit bamboo plan of Longlin City, refugees who escaped to survive must be resettled.
There are many beasts and monsters in the wild, and evil spirits appear at night, which adds more risks. All people can only live in the city, and refugees in Green Willow City must move to other cities.
The two cities are more than 400 miles apart. In addition to the human and immortals who protect the journey, the officials and yamen soldiers must come with them. They also have to arrange treasures and food to deliver them. They are arranged overnight, and all the mounts are covered with divine talismans. They hurry up and arrive at Green Willow City only at dawn.
At this time, the officials and soldiers had just scattered among the crowd to comfort and record books, but the refugees had not yet been allowed to enter the city.
After hearing the results of the detective's knowledge and having a general understanding of the situation in the city, the Dongshan County Magistrate was not in a hurry to send people in. Instead, it was more important to register the refugees and prepare for relocation and resettlement.
The refugees in Green Willow City have been waiting for the two thugs to appear. They are not just obediently waiting for the yamen to stop them. They always have to see the two thugs come out alive and be at ease, so they dare to enter the city to restrain their relatives' corpses, take out their own property, and even take more. They have to spend money when they arrive in other cities.
After one night, most people were still pale and tummy, and they were not crying much.
I saw two thugs wandering out of the city with a dog, and their eyes came back to life.
The refugees stood up one by one and rushed to the city gate.
Most people wanted to enter the city, but they hesitated last night and were unwilling to fall behind at this time.
First, we need to find out more clearly.
"Is there any living?"
"Is there any magic smoke?"
"Can I see my wife? She didn't follow me yesterday..."
In this life, Shang San and Cao Si have never enjoyed the treatment of being surrounded by so many people. They are asking questions all the time, and they don’t know who is better to answer.
The Dongshan County Magistrate looked at Shang Saner for a few more times before he ordered: "The yamen soldiers stopped him first. If the name has not been recorded, how can I do not have a charter? No food or water is allowed in the city. They must go out to get it, and set off in three days..."
The official spoke, and the yamen soldiers raised their sticks and finally calmed down in front of the city gate.
The surrounding circle was a little loose, and Cao Si, who had made a fortune, sent people away to find out the news of the Dongshan officials, and Shang Saner also wanted to find my mother first.
Although I got a thorny apology, the landlady explained that it was given by the immortal, but I was still worried all night. When I saw him coming out, I breathed a sigh of relief.
I showed my mother two new front teeth like a treasure, handed her a fairy peach, pulled her away, and talked about the fairy fate last night.
I didn't want to hear that my son had to be named Shang Chun and became a disciple of Daluo Jinxian. The price was to stay and guard the Green Willow City. My wife looked at her face and objected: "No! I don't want it, I don't want it. You can return it to the gods!"
Shang Saner smiled bitterly and advised: "Don't make trouble! There was a lot of smoke coming from the old merchant's ancestral grave. It was your son's turn to be the city lord and the earth immortal!"
Using a rolling pin, I apologized for the time being. My grandmother Jing didn't touch it for the time being. She swung the rolling pin and smashed it down with a stick. She scolded: "The lard is so heartbroken that the people will move to other cities to take refuge. What are you still the lord? I have seen you for twenty years. With your ability, I can fight against monsters? I can defend the city? I finally escaped my life, but I don't know how to cherish it, but I have to send it in. After it was really gone, the ancestral grave of the old merchant would be so angry that it was smoked!"
Shang Saner hurriedly said, "I have already come down from my master. From now on, I will abandon the city and escape. I will betray the master and the disciple. The master is coming to catch the bones and ashes, and then collect the soul to rectify it!"
My mother was frightened, but she was used to seeing her son lying. When she came to her senses, she stared at Shang Saner carefully and found that he was not guilty and asked in disbelief: "How could the gods be so cruel?"
"The conscience of heaven and earth, every sentence of the son is true!"
But my mother couldn't explain her doubts, and it was difficult to accept that he would not go with the refugees and wanted to stay as the city lord who died. Without any reason, she just stared at Shang Saner and didn't speak.
Shang Saner knelt down in front of me.
After thinking for a while, Shang Saner said, "When I was five years old, my mother gave me five cents and asked me to go to the grocery store to make soy sauce. I was greedy and bought the braised intestine and didn't dare to go home. I went to the Chenghuang Temple to hide for a night, which also made my parents look for it all night!"
"When I was seven years old, my second brother died. I stole the dozen cents he saved and bought braised large intestine to eat. My mother wanted to keep the money as a memory, but I couldn't find it. She asked Lao Huang to smell the taste and find the braised pork stall. Fatty Zhang, who sold braised pork, told the truth to me. When I went home, I beat me to death. There is still a bag on my forehead! "
"At the age of fourteen, my father got seriously ill and spent all the money at home. He still owed some deficits. That night, the pain was so great that I had no choice. I even went to several neighbors and borrowed two cents of silver and asked me to buy medicine. I didn't want to knock on the door of the medicine shop in the middle of the night. However, the black heart Liu said that there were mountain monsters in Dilong Mountain, which scared the caravan so much that the price of medicine was rising. My father's medicine was not sold for three cents of silver, and he said he would not let go. I was panicked and anxious. It was too late. The whole city was only Liuxuyuan and the gambling house. I thought that if I went to the gambling house, I would have to fight. If I won, I would have enough to buy medicine. I didn't want to lose money. When I got home, my father was also angry!"
"After my father died, I never believed me again. I always had to count the money I hid several times a day to feel at ease, and I didn't discuss family affairs with me, as if I could be as long as I was alive. But last night, a Daluo Jinxian from the heaven said that although I acted as a man and had his own way of immortality, he still recognized me as my disciple and gave me three benefits, asking me to guard the city for him!"
"My mother always wants me to go on the right path, but my son doesn't like farming, doesn't like raising animals, and doesn't want to be a clerk in the shop. I thought I would just be like this in my life! But last night, another right path was placed in front of me, waiting for me to go down! Mom, my son wants to be the city lord and want to be an apprentice to the gods, it doesn't matter if he loses his life!"
Looking at my son who has been young and has been beaten to the old age, two turbid tears have emerged from my mother's eyes.
She also remembered that after the man died, his fourteen-year-old son carried a manure bucket to pour it on the medicine shop every morning. Hei Xin Liu asked someone to beat him, reported to the officials to catch him, and asked him to discipline him. He had no choice but to make trouble for him for a year, forcing Hei Xin Liu to have no choice. During the New Year holiday, he personally brought a generous gift to apologize. His son threw the things out and asked Hei Xin Liu to kowtow three times at his father's grave, but he stopped making trouble.
Since then, the neighbors dared not provoke him, so he mingled with Cao Si and became a hob meat.
"Yes!"
