How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 57

[57.Chapter 57 Please do me a little favor]

Very quickly, three days passed in a snap.

In the past three days, a lot of things happened in Shashui County.

First, Zhou Hongyuan and Baili Kuang were released.

When they walked out of the gate of Zhenfusi, both of them looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with gloomy expressions. It seemed that they had suffered a lot in prison.

Then at night, a box of thousand-year-old ginseng, three in total, each as thick as a thumb, was delivered from Tianxian Tower to Zhenfusi.

Master Zhenfu Si Lu was very satisfied with this and returned a box of mung bean sorbet.

It also comes with a piece of wild cursive writing, with ten words written on it: “The etiquette is light but the affection is heavy, the government and the people are one family.”

After Mr. Xie Anping got it, he immediately found someone to frame it and hang it in the main hall of Xie’s mansion, making the people lament the shamelessness of the two.

Immediately afterwards, a letter flew to the county with the powerful condor.

On the second day, a pack of septic blood incense passed through the hands of a pockmarked man. After several turnovers, it quietly appeared under the newly purchased rouge box of Ruoshui in Tianxian Tower.

Moreover, there was a note inside the septicemia incense, which said in nine small words, “The magistrate hates roses.”

After reading it, Ruoshui swallowed the note and carefully hid the packet of septic blood incense inside her clothes.

Afterwards, the Zhenfu Division began to release people.

All the arrested wealthy businessmen and their children were released one after another.

When leaving Zhenfusi, a group of wealthy businessmen were grateful and planned to raise money to build a living temple for Mr. Lu, wishing Mr. Lu could ascend to the immortal world as soon as possible and be among the immortals.

Unfortunately, the person who made this suggestion was arrested again, fined a thousand silver coins, and starved for a day and night before being released.

After that, Zhou Hongyuan and Baili Kuang’s wives, concubines, and children were also released. It seemed that no one was colluding with the remnants of Dayou.

After learning this result, people in Shashui County speculated that Zhou Hongyuan and Baili Kuang had spent money to buy Ping An.

On the third day, a piece of gossip quietly spread, confirming the people’s suspicions.

Mr. Lu Qianlu is going to host a banquet in Tianxian Tower to entertain Zhou Hongyuan, Baili Kuang, and Xie Anping again. By then, the streets within a five-mile radius of Tianxian Tower will be closed!

It seems that this banquet is about re-dividing the future interests of Shashui County, Heyuan County and Feiyun County.

The people were secretly amazed.

Mr. Lu is going to make a lot of money this time. I wonder what the county magistrate Wei Ling thinks?

But then, shocking rumors spread again. Ruoshui, the most beautiful woman in Tianxian Tower, would enter the county government office three days later on a full moon night and become the concubine of the county magistrate!

This romantic gossip is more enjoyable to hear and see than that banquet.

Some people are envious, some are jealous, and some even work for Lu. It is obvious that Mr. Lu is the only young talent in the entire Shashui County who is worthy of this beauty, but now he has to marry an old man in his nineties.

I feel so sorry for Mr. Lu!

Similarly, people who know that the magistrate practices evil arts are also sighing.

Another beauty has fallen, beauties are so miserable!

However, Mr. Xie’s business should be able to expand. With his left hand as the governor and his right hand as the county magistrate, he has both sides. Xie Anping is worthy of being a smiling tiger, and he really knows how to be a good person.

While the people were gossiping after dinner, no one noticed that a small boat carrying three mysterious men in black appeared at the ferry.

Zhou Hongyuan personally greeted him and presented him with three thousand taels of gold tickets upon meeting.

On the other side, Baili Kuang brought back an old Taoist with a white beard from the mountains. He was also blind and full of lead and gunpowder gas.

The strange thing is that Baili Kuang respected the blind old Taoist and followed the etiquette of his disciples in words and deeds.

Night gradually fell.

In the sky, little snowflakes were falling.

In front of the gate of Zhenfusi, Lu Gan was riding a Mo Lin horse, with Zheng Cha on his left and right, Qitian Xia Miao Gaoshuo behind him, Shen Zishuang, Sun Hei, on the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth of the week.

“Lao Lu, I wish you a successful return!”

Xing Laodao stood on the stone steps and smiled.

“I’ll bring you some wine when I come back. Let’s have a good drink with you tonight!” Lu Gan smiled, raised his hand, and flicked the whip in his hand.

Snapped.

With the sound of a whip, Mo Lin’s horse snorted and ran out with its hooves raised.

A group of nine people rushed out like lightning and headed straight for the Tianxian Tower.

In the county government office next to Zhenfusi, red lanterns were also hung at the door. Mr. Wei put on a festive red robe, as if he was about to celebrate something big.

“Hmph! No matter how powerful he is, he is still just a little head catcher. Shouldn’t Xie Anping’s beauty be sent to the county government for my uncle to enjoy? Bah.”

Master Wei looked at Lu Qian’s retreating figure and secretly spat.

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.

Call!

When the sound of horse hooves stopped, Lu Gan turned over and fell off his horse. At a glance, he saw Xie Anping and Mrs. Yu in front of Tianxian Tower.

“Master Lu, you are so happy when you come to my humble abode!”

Xie Anping laughed, came forward to welcome him, and stretched out his hand to help Lu Gan dismount.

The attitude is very humble.

“Master Xie is so polite! Between you and me, there is no need to say such polite words! Come on, let me have three drinks with you first when you enter the house!”

Lu Qianqing laughed and jumped off his horse.

The two of them entered the Tianxian Tower while laughing. Mrs. Yu was swaying in front and led them to the second floor with a smile.

Shen Zishuang watched from behind, and a sentence suddenly popped into her mind: “The friendship between villains is as sweet as honey.”

If she hadn’t known that Lu Gan would take action tonight, she might have thought that Lu Gan was a treacherous villain like Xie Anping.

Entering the private room, it was still the familiar private room.

Lu Qian naturally took the main seat, accompanied by Zheng Cha and Shen Zishuang, followed by Qi Tianxia and Miao Gaoshuo.

Sun Hei, Zhou Eleven, Zhou Twelve, and Zhou Thirteen did not take their seats, but stood solemnly behind Lu Gan, like four door gods.

“Master Lu, I’d like to propose a toast to you! Everything is in the wine!”

Xie Anping poured a full cup of wine for Lu Qian, raised his hands, and said with a bright face.

In the past few days, he has been very popular, and his business has been booming. Many wealthy businessmen have come to his door and want to cooperate with him, and they are almost too busy to socialize.

“Haha, thank you for being so polite. I’m very satisfied with the three ginseng you gave me! Come on, you and I will drink this together!” Lu Qian laughed and clinked glasses with Xie Anping.

The two drank it all in one gulp and smiled at each other.

“I heard that Mr. Xie has opened three gambling stalls, a flower shop, five medicine shops, and seven rice shops in the past three days. It should be a good year this year.”

Lu Qian put down his wine glass and asked with a smile.

“Haha, this is all thanks to Mr. Lu’s help. If it weren’t for Mr. Lu’s threats, how could those medicine and rice merchants come to me? Mr. Lu, you are my God of Wealth! Please rest assured, Mr. Lu, I have already given you to me. You prepare a generous New Year’s greetings, which will definitely satisfy Mr. Lu!”

Xie Anping patted his chest and smiled mysteriously.

“It’s been too long to celebrate the New Year, and there’s only one month left! Just in time, I have a small favor to do later, and I want to ask Mr. Xie for help. I wonder if Mr. Xie is willing to do this little favor for me?”

Lu Qian asked with a faint smile.

“Master Lu, what are you talking about? Master Lu’s business is my Xie’s business! Don’t say it’s a small job, even if it’s a big job, I will obey Mr. Lu’s instructions whether it’s a mountain of swords or a sea of fire!” Xie Anping’s chest was shaking! The sound of the sky is very generous.

“Thank you for your generosity, Master! So… it’s a deal?”

“It’s a deal!”

“Okay! Drink!” “How can we let Mr. Lu pour the wine himself? Mrs. Yu will come and fill it up

for

Mr. Lu.”

As soon as she fell, a fragrant wind blew into her nostrils. A beautiful woman in splendid clothes leaned down, and a piece of spring light leaked out of her bra.

“Master Lu, I would like to propose a toast to you!” Mrs. Yu picked up the wine glass with her beautiful hands, showing off her charming look with every smile.

“Mrs. Yu is so polite.” Lu Qian nodded and smiled in return. He drank the wine handed by the beautiful woman in one gulp. Then he glanced at the bra area, shook his head and sighed: “It’s cold, Mrs. Yu should wear more clothes.” Just some clothes. It looks weird.”

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned and looked surprised.

Is this guy really ignorant of style, or is he just pretending to be stupid? How can a hot-blooded young man not be lustful? Could it be that Mr. Lu has become stupid due to practicing kung fu?

“Pfft.”

With a sweet smile, Mrs. Yu covered her mouth and said, “Master Lu is right, I will go and change my clothes right now. Master Lu, please wait a moment.”

After that, she walked out of the Yaya on lotus steps .

Time to change clothes.
