Chapter 672: The Emperor's Sword Li Qingxian
The mud walls are towering and the roads are paved with gravel.
Several people stepped up the wooden stairs and walked into an office room.
The three of them stopped.
"Mr. Fu, the two noble men have arrived." Xu Changren said respectfully.
Li Qingxian looked inside and saw a dim magical light shining in the deep night.
Behind the large desk, there is a person wearing a worn fourth-grade official robe, with a red hat on his head, and a white gauze hanging down from the hat, blocking his face.
Through the white gauze, it was faintly visible that the person inside was wearing a black mask. The mask had a word "福" written on it, and only his eyes, mouth and nose were exposed.
"Ye Han, the director of the Night Guard Patrol Division, has met Mr. Fu." Li Qingxian simply cupped his hand.
"Zhou Hen." Zhou Hen remained motionless.
"Hahaha... Please sit down, both of you. We are all going to the mountainous area, so there is no need to be so jealous."
Li Qingxian crossed the threshold and sat on the chair next to the door, while Zhou Hen stood beside him.
Xu Changren's eyelids twitched when he saw Zhou Hen standing instead of sitting down.
Li Qingxian said: "Ye came here just to do a small business with Mr. Fu. We will be granted the status of a town citizen, and you will get a medium-grade magic weapon." Mr. Fu sighed softly and said, "Ye
Sizheng He is a cheerful person. In the past, when I saw two people who were in love with each other, there was no deal, so I directly received the Good Citizen Certificate, took them to Shangshan District for a walk, met their friends, and then asked the mayor to give Shangshan District a gift. Temporary status. But in recent years, fierce dragons crossing the river have entered the town one after another, often causing trouble. In order to avoid accidents, everything is done according to the rules. Yesterday’s King of Chu, had a noble status, right? Isn’t he an honest friend? Twenty percent of the wealth. Of course, I heard that Mr. Zhou is a top-grade martial arts cultivator. As long as he passes the test, he does not need to pay any wealth. You...sigh..."
Li Qingxian looked at Mr. Fu.
Mr. Fu continued: "You are the chief minister of Qi State. Logically speaking, you should not accept it, but the King of Chu has already taken it. This matter is not easy to handle."
Li Qingxian smiled and said: "I am an impatient person, so let me tell the truth. If the King of Chu really handed over 20% of the wealth, and there were no other matters, I would not hesitate. However, if the King of Chu did not really hand over 20% of the wealth, 20% of the wealth, just to say that I handed over 20%, or to return it after handing over, is there any trick, then I feel uncomfortable. I believe that Mr. Fu and the mayor are fair and equitable, so be it, you ask Emperor Huangquan , Wu Niangniang and Emperor Guicheng swear that I will immediately hand over 20% of my wealth."
Xu Changren was so shocked that his pupils trembled, can those three names be spoken randomly? Do you really think this is a lucky town?
Mr. Fu remained motionless, gently stroking the penholder with his right hand.
After a long time, Mr. Fu sighed and said: "Mr. Ye, you are also an important member of the imperial court. It is true that the dirty tricks here cannot be hidden from you. But, what can we do? As the manager of the lower district, should I stand up and shout The nobles in Shangshan District are this and that? It’s wonderful, I can’t even dream of it, but can that be said? In front of you, let me tell the truth, this Xu Changren is my dog, and I am only in Shangshan District I'm just a dog. You are an important member of the party, and you and Mr. Zhou, a high-ranking official, are both beyond my reach, but... I have to listen to the mayor." "I think there must be some accommodation."
Li Qing Xian said.
Mr. Fu said helplessly: "As long as the mayor opens his mouth, everything will be easy to handle."
"Please contact me." Li Qingxian placed a medium-grade magic weapon on the table.
Xu Changren looked over and saw a small copper pot with a carp pattern, which shimmered in the night and could not be seen.
However, Mr. Fu's eyes lit up and he said slowly: "The spring kettle continuously produces clean water. Here, the value of this thing is far beyond ordinary high-grade magic tools." Xu Changren took a deep breath slowly. There was no ability in the entire Fu Town. The natural water to drink, the water for everyone, is given by the magic weapon in the mountainous area.
Any such magical weapon will ensure the long-term prosperity of the family in Shangshan Mountain.
"If this matter is resolved, it's yours." Li Qingxian said.
The white gauze in front of Mr. Fu moved slightly and said: "As expected of Sizheng of the Night Guard, his actions are extraordinary. It is absolutely impossible for me to disobey the mayor's order, but with such a touching treasure in front of me, I It's also difficult to control. How about this, you and I each take a step back. You hand over some of your belongings to me, put them in the Yamen, count them and register them. Then, ask someone from the Yamen to check. After they leave, you take away the belongings, and I Burn down the warehouse and everything will be over."
Zhou Hen narrowed his eyes.
Xu Changren's heart skipped a beat.
Li Qingxian smiled and said, "That's right. How about I take out ten low-grade magical artifacts, two medium-grade magical artifacts, and ten thousand taels of cash?" Mr. Fu laughed and said, "Ye
Si Just kidding, any magic weapon you have is better than these. We are only keeping it temporarily, and it will be returned to you in the end. So why not hand over some hard goods?" "What if I don't hand it over?"
Li Leisurely smiling.
"Ye Sizheng, you have to understand that this is Fuzhen, not Qi State. You can call the shots in Qi State, but here, you still have to follow the rules. I wonder if Changren told you that in Fuzhen, the most important thing is It's not the rank, it's not the strength or weakness, but the rules of Fuzhen. The biggest rule of Fuzhen is the mayor, followed by the notices." "
Tell me about the notices, I'm very interested." Li Qingxian said.
Mr. Fu said: "Once upon a time, a great man came to Fu Town. He was a second-grade man. Not to mention in Fu Town, he was also a great nobleman in Qi State. That man disobeyed the mayor and wanted to seize power. As a result, What? The mayor spent a full ten notices to weaken his strength to the middle level, and then killed him. To be honest, not to mention the second level, even the first level is not worth the mayor's notices." "Whoever has more notices
, Who is the biggest hilltop in Fu Town?" Li Qingxian asked.
"It can be said that, therefore, I advise you not to act rashly, it is not worth it. What's more, the things that arrive at the yamen will ultimately benefit all the townspeople. It will not be a loss if you take some out. You can't accept the favor of the town. But you don’t get a dime, right?” Mr. Fu said.
Li Qingxian nodded and said: "I will also take a step back. In this way, I will take out 20% of my wealth and gradually distribute it to the townspeople who need it most within a year. Your town government can supervise and verify, but it is not allowed to interfere in any other way. How?"
"You are joking."
"How can this be called joking? The mayor and you, don't you keep saying that it is for the town and the townspeople? I am willing to use my wealth for the townspeople and the town, why can't I do it?"
" In Fu Town, only the mayor is qualified to make decisions and allocations." Mr. Fu leaned forward slightly.
"I am an official of the imperial court, Sizheng, the patrol officer who protects the people and the country. I am the emperor's sword. I only listen to the emperor and follow the national laws. Whether you are a Fuzhen or a Guizhen, only Emperor Taining of Qi can decide and allocate !" Li Qingxian said, holding his hands in the air.
Xu Changren looked confused. Could this be a foolish and loyal official?
Zhou Hen drooped his eyelids.
Mr. Fu stared at Li Qingxian, speechless for a long time.
