C963 Xia Xi City Lord!
1The news of the new Village Chief of Wang Family Village wanting to welcome his guests and treat them to a banquet spread like a gust of wind. These shocks were basically good intentions. Especially when they heard that the Wang Family Village's plague had been resolved and that the villagers had recovered, those who received the invitation reacted even more fervently.
This time, the plague wasn't only afflicting the Wang Family Village, it was also tormenting people everywhere. Now that the Wang Family Village had a solution, who wouldn't want to go there and get a prescription? Even if they weren't friends or relatives, it was still for himself. Who could guarantee that they wouldn't be infected by the plague these days?
Therefore, regarding the Wang Family Village wanting to have a banquet, the people who received the invitation were quite active, and said a lot of words of congratulations to the person who sent the invitation.
But when the news that Wang Family Village was going to have a banquet spread to Western Xia City, the situation changed.
Xixi City was a small city in the west of Xihe Country, and Xihe Country was a medium-sized country in this small world.
The Wang Family Village and the surrounding tens of villages were coincidentally under the jurisdiction of the Western Xia City.
"What the hell is this Wang Family Village? How come This City Lord has never heard of it?" The lord of the western part city put down the information in his hand with a disdainful expression.
It was a short truce period during the war. Countries were coming and going, secretly using all sorts of methods to spy on each other, even plotting and plotting against each other.
As the lord of a city, he naturally had to let his subordinates gather all kinds of information, so as to not get ambushed by any of them. When the time came, the destruction of the soldiers on the battlefield would be minor, and his head would be in big trouble.
Therefore, he would receive all sorts of messages every day.
Fortunately, so far, they had not received any news that could threaten the safety of Xixi City or harm the Xihe Kingdom.
But this morning, the message from his subordinate caused Mo You to feel deep annoyance.
According to the news, there was a village called Wang Family Village near the Snowy Peak Mountain. The old Village Chief decided to step down and take over the position of the new Village Chief, Wang Xianyang. The village was preparing for a grand succession ceremony, and it was decided to invite the surrounding villages and friends to join in the ceremony and set up a banquet. In just a few days, it had already sent out 1200 invitations.
Damn, what the heck is this Wang Family Village?
If it wasn't for the message that it was located near the Snowy Peak Mountain, everyone would have forgotten that this was a village under their jurisdiction.
It was only a small village, yet a small village chief was actually acting so arrogantly. Just whose face was this? One must know that ten years ago, when he was the successor to the position of the Western Xia City's City Lord, he had only sent out 800 invitation cards.
Even though it was said that, it was obvious that the people whom he had invited to these eight hundred invitation cards were far from being the same as the people who were invited by a mere Wang Family Village. However, the way the Wang Family Village had put it so highly infuriated Mo Yu, who felt as if he had been slapped in the face by the Wang Family Village himself.
"Xue Qian!"
"Here!"
A trusted subordinate came over to call for him. This underling looked like a scholar, and he was gentle and gentle. He was waving a feather fan, and looked like an intelligent man. In reality, he was just like a dog-headed military advisor. He had a pair of triangular eyes, and he was very insidious.
Mo Yu was the reason why the treacherous methods of plundering the cream of the people all came from him.
Some of the more notorious tax policies, such as "marriage tax", "midnight snack tax" and "more than three times a day", were even more famous by this person. Upon mentioning this person's name, countless citizens of Western Xia City gnashed their teeth in anger, wishing that they could eat this person's flesh and skin.
Even the city guards called him Master Xue on the surface, and called him a dog three times in secret. It could be seen how heated this person's anger was.
However, in the eyes of others, Xue Qian was indeed a capable man. He was on the same side as Xiao Hong Zhuang, who was also a second rate expert of the Cloud Sword Sect.
"Look at the news. What do you think?" It couldn't be that he wanted to throw the message to Xue Qian, so he just laid on the Old Master's chair by himself, basking in the sun with a lazy appearance, and his eyes flickered with malice and greed.
Xue Qian had followed Mo Budian for a long time, so he naturally knew Mo Buyi's personality. Behind him, everyone in the Western Summer City called him a "Xue Gou", calling him a greedy and evil dog. However, he was the only one who knew that greed was the real wolf. In terms of cruelty, he was even less capable.
Xue Qian looked at the message on the paper and immediately understood what Mo Dong was thinking.
Immediately, he glared, and with a look of anger, he cursed in righteous indignation, "How dare you! How dare you!" What kind of world was it now? The imperial government had striven hard for tens of thousands of years for the sake of living a happy life. There was no need to defend the enemy at all. The mayor, in order to protect his country's citizens, was even more worried. He ate five servings of meat a day and changed into new clothes three days later. He was frugal and frugal. Who would have thought that there would be such a tyrant among the masses like the Wang Family Village who, in order to succeed the position of a small village chief, plundered the people's fat and people's ointment, extravagantly wasting it away.
The Blazing Cloud Swordsman Xiao Hong Zhuang, who was holding onto a sword by his side, could not help but slightly twitch his mouth when he heard this. In terms of martial arts skills, he was able to kill Xue Qian with his sword qi even at a distance of ten meters, killing Xue Qian was as easy as killing an ant. However, in terms of shamelessness, in terms of being shameless, in terms of being able to turn black into white, he felt that he was a million miles behind.
He only ate five meals of meat a day and changed his clothes three days later.
You dare to say such things.0
He was famous for enjoying it. He would eat ten meals of meat a day, and each meal would be different. He would change his clothes once a day, and even if he didn't have the silks, he would still have silk. But Xue Qian actually gave him a discount? This ability to lie with his eyes open was truly amazing.
Of course, in the face of such nonsense and daring to bear it, his skin was thick to the point of perfection.
It had to be known that even though Xue Qian had made an obvious discount on the amount of food and clothing he consumed every day, to the commoners outside the City Lord's Mansion, it was still a beautiful thing that they couldn't even dream about, okay?
Of course, although Scorching Cloud Swordsman Xiao Hong Zhuang despised Xue Qian, he would not show any dissatisfaction. The world was difficult, he, a second rate martial artist, was not considered a peerless expert, but following Mo Yu was already considered a pretty good situation, not only to win him over, but also to entertain him with good wine and good food every day. If he wasn't dissatisfied with Xue Qian, then what right did he have to be dissatisfied with Xue Qian, isn't dissatisfied with Xue Qian the same as dissatisfied with himself?
"Hmph, to think that there would be such a scum. City Lord can rest assured, I will go to Wang Family Village right now and behead that damn villager."
Xiao Hong Zhuang pretended to leave.
"Hold on!" Xue Qian hurriedly stopped him and Xiao Hong Zhuang stopped in his tracks.
"Master Xue, why did you stop me?" Xiao Hong Zhuang feigned dissatisfaction.
Xue Qian said, "Old Xiao, don't always be so impatient. This matter can be small or big, and the mayor has to decide on how to handle it. It's not something that can be solved by just simply going over and pulling out your sword. "
"That's right!" Hong Jia, don't be in such a hurry. This was no ordinary matter. Wang Family Village has such a tyrant, the successor of the village chief dares to so blatantly plunder the ointment, blatantly spreading it out and wasting it. If I do not handle it carefully, I'm afraid others will think that I, the city lord, am unscrupulous, and do not discipline properly! "
As he spoke, he gave a meaningful glance at Xue Qian.
"That's right, Wang Family Village's actions will not only ruin the City Lord's prestige, it will also have a bad effect. When the news of the various villages imitating the rules reached the imperial court, even His Majesty would be furious. This matter must be dealt with seriously, and cannot be solved by just killing people. " Xue Qian had a serious expression as he said this. If he didn't know a person's personality, he would probably feel that this kid was truly loyal and completely confident.
Xiao Hong Zhuang had seen this kind of scene too many times and did not think much of it. She gritted her teeth and said, "Oh, so what do you think, Master Xue?"
Xue Qian said: "The world is difficult. In order to support the Imperial court in defending the enemy, the City Lord has paid a huge price. He has almost reached the end of his rope. For a long period of time, on what grounds does the Mayor still have to protect his people? "
"A mere Wang Family Village dares to be so extravagant and wasteful, making a very bad start. From my point of view, I must immediately order that the new village chief of Wang Family Village to come and surrender herself in the name of the city lord's mansion. The property which is used for extravagance and waste should be confiscated for the purpose of recharging the army. "
Xiao Hong Zhuang said: "Alright, then let's listen to Master Xue. I will send someone to the Wang Family Village right now." "No!"
But at this moment, Mo Yu suddenly spoke again.
Xue Qian and Xiao Hong Zhuang were both stunned and puzzled.
If there had been a similar situation in the past, things would have ended here. With an order from the City Lord's Mansion, no one dared to resist, so they obediently went to the City Lord's Mansion to beg for forgiveness. When that time came, all sorts of looting would be smooth sailing. There was no need for Mo Yu to not do anything personally.
"The Wang Family Village is in big trouble and the impact is not good. So, this City Lord has decided to make a trip to the Wang Family Village himself. "
"Ah!"
Xue Qian and Xiao Hong Zhuang were both slightly stupefied. They couldn't figure out what kind of crazy behavior this greedy and savage City Lord had, to actually abandon the pleasure of going to a place like the Wang Family Village that was completely devoid of shit.
But very quickly, the two of them understood Mo Nu's intentions.
Mo Yu said: "Didn't the message say in the message? The entire village was previously plagued by the plague, and after more than a month, all of the plague actually disappeared. I think the Wang Family Village already found a way to suppress the plague. With this method, you actually dare to hide it. This time, I, the Mayor, am going to look carefully and see if this Wang Family Village still has Xia Xi City, Xi He Country, or His Majesty the Emperor! "
The two of them suddenly realized that they had taken a fancy to a method to control the plague. However, it was hard to say. Plague was rampant in this world. It had long become a thorn in the side for countries of all sizes. If this little Wang Family Village really found some miracle medicine to fight against the plague and got it, he would definitely make a fortune. Just by relying on this, he would be able to directly enter the heart of the imperial court …
"City Lord is right, we will listen to him."
Hehe, look at the information, this Wang Family Village's village chief's successor ceremony should be seven days later.
