I’m Being Held Captive by Demons - Chapter 128
[Chapter 127 Don’t be disrespectful]
Under Zhang Rong’s lead, Kong Ning went to the yamen and got the certificate of the opening of the yamen.
Then he went to Zhang Rong’s house as a guest.
The world is chaotic, so the management of the yamen is also very strict.
Visitors from other places like Kong Ning are not allowed to buy real estate in the city without a legitimate reason.
However, these restrictions no longer exist under Zhang Rong’s dredging.
But Zhang Rong also persuaded Kong Ning that if he wanted to stay in Hejianfu for a long time, he still had to find a businessman.
Because of the implementation of the recommendation system in the prefecture and city, ten households are guaranteed one.
If the guarantor is unwilling to guarantee, even if you buy a house, you will not live for long.
Although Zhang Rong can come forward to dredge up, to ensure that after Kongning purchases real estate anywhere in the city, there will be no security chief to make things difficult.
But if Kong Ningruo has never been a business student, the Bao Changbao dare not guarantee his great face.
After all, if Kong Ning committed a crime, the unfortunate head of the security would have to be dragged to sit together…
Zhang Rong’s family was prosperous. Although the Hun family was not very beautiful, they were sturdy and hospitable, and she was also a good woman who lived a good life.
There are two sons and a daughter in the family, the oldest is thirteen years old and the youngest is five years old, and it is very lively.
These three children are also the reason why Zhang Rong is trying to be transferred back to Hejian Mansion.
Although he went to Shanlan County with the county magistrate to take office, Zhang Rong’s status and position were not important, and Xuegu’s control over him was not serious.
Like most Shanlan County residents, he was just confused.
During the festivals, you can still take leave to return to Hejianfu to reunite with your family.
Compared with the county magistrate and the unlucky brother-in-law of the county magistrate, Zhang Rong is much happier.
After dinner, Kong Ning was dragged by Zhang Rong to Shaoxianhe.
Because Kong Ning was a guest from afar, Zhang Rong’s Hun family specially gave Zhang Rong an extra coin or two to let him entertain the guests.
And on the banks of the Shaoxian River under the night, the sound of dancing, songtai, and silk and bamboo fluttered.
This big river that crosses Hejianfu is formed by the convergence of Wangjiang River, Yunhe River and Jinchi River.
Those flower boats and song boats floating on the river are lively and prosperous.
This place is different from the overwhelming silence in the city.
There is a warm and frenzied atmosphere everywhere. Even in the dark, the lights are still bright.
Whether it’s the girls on the flower boat painting boat, or the guests who come to buy drunk and listen to music, or enter the curtain to enjoy, all of them are excited and exaggerated, and they don’t hide their erotic desires and indulge their sensuality.
It is in stark contrast to the oppressive silence in most places in the city.
Zhang Rong smiled cheerfully: “How is it? This place is interesting!”
Kong Ning nodded and smiled: “It’s really interesting.”
Compared with the lively and prosperous place here, the Spring Wind Building in Shanlan County is indeed earthy, small, and tiny. No fun to speak of.
It’s just that the people here are so frantic and enjoying themselves, but they are also closely related to the oppressive and chaotic world in the city.
In such a chaotic world, wealthy people who are qualified to indulge in sensuality are naturally frenzied and enjoy themselves. Everyone lives a day when they are drunk and drunk, desperately grabbing all the happiness they can hold.
The various performances and programs in the brothel were also mostly stimulating and explicit.
The young girls who were surrounded by the crowd on the stage danced charmingly and enchantingly.
Even in the brothel, she wears all kinds of cool and bold dresses. From time to time, due to exaggerated movements and bold exposure, it attracts unanimous applause and generous rewards from below.
Almost all the flower boats on the Shaoxian River are shrouded in such a fanatical hedonistic atmosphere.
That noisy and exciting feeling reminded Kong Ning of the night show in his previous life.
Sure enough, the more depressed and hopeless the world is, the more people need a place to relieve stress…
The next morning, not long after Zhang Rong went out to the Yamen, someone knocked on the door.
It was a tooth dealer in the city, entrusted by Zhang Rong to help Kong Ning find a house.
“Hello, Master Ning, the villain’s name is Li Shun’er, and Master Zhang asked me to come here,” the staff at Yaxing was full of smiles, flattering and enthusiastic.
But Kong Ning still threw him an illusion for the sake of safety.
The feet and teeth of the car and boat shop should be killed if they are innocent.
The more chaotic and ignorant the world is, the more difficult and hateful these occupations are.
Although Zhang Rong’s name was under pressure, this tooth shop guy didn’t dare to mess around, but he still threw an illusion for the other party, just in case.
Soon, under the leadership of Li Shun’er, Kong Ning and Cai Wei crossed the streets and alleys to a remote place in the city.
This is an alley with a back street. Outside the alley is a tributary of the Shaoxian River. The river crosses the street, and there is only one way in and out.
Therefore, although it is in the busy city, it can be regarded as remote and quiet.
Walking in the alley, Li Shun’er smiled and said, “There are regulations in the yamen. Visitors from other places can only buy those houses in a specific area. This is already the most secluded place that a villain can find.”
“I hope Ning Ye will forgive me.
Then…”
Li Shun’er was a little nervous.
After all, what Kong Ning asked for was a secluded and quiet place away from the crowds in the downtown area.
But this Tongming Alley is not far away, it is a street where people come and go, and a little farther is the Chenghuang Temple, which is full of incense.
Fortunately, after walking into Tongming Alley, the alley with only one road in and out barely met Kongning’s requirements.
When Li Shun’er passed through the alley carrying a bunch of keys, the courtyard doors on both sides were all slightly open, and someone behind the door silently peeped at the people passing by outside.
Kong Ning and Cai Wei just followed behind Li Shun’er, staring at the eyes of countless people on both sides, passing through Tongming Alley.
Those bad eyes made Caiwei a little scared, and subconsciously leaned on Kong Ning’s side.
And Li Shun’er took Kong Ning to a courtyard in the middle of the alley, and opened the courtyard door with the key.
After taking Kong Ning into the yard, Li Shun’er quickly locked the door.
And he whispered: “Master Ning, whether you go out or go home in the future, you must lock the door immediately.”
“The people who live nearby are all foreigners, and there are all kinds of things. Some are still from the martial arts. If you disagree with each
other, you will raise a knife and slash people.”
“You are new here, try not to deal with them.”
Li Shun’er reminded Kong Ning very intimately.
Kong Ning looked at the small courtyard in front of him and frowned slightly.
This yard is not messy and desolate, and it shouldn’t take long for the previous resident to move out.
Weeds in the yard did not grow.
Front yard, back yard, well water stove room, everything is available.
Just after opening one of the partial rooms, Kong Ning saw a strange shrine enshrined in the center of the room.
On the shrine is a strange god statue with a hideous face and a strange and evil acne all over his body.
On the left and the right are written “Black evil comes to the world, all living beings suffer”, “Enter my door, peace”.

Seeing this strange shrine, Kong Ning frowned slightly: “What is this?”
The evil god offered by the previous owner?
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Shun’er seemed to understand his doubts, and hurriedly stopped him, not daring him to say more.
“This is the Lord of the City God!” Li Shun’er said quickly: “Master Ning, this is the Lord of the City God of our Hejian Mansion. Every household must enshrine his old man. Every morning and evening, three pillars of incense are required to be worshipped, and they have to go every ten days. Burn a big incense stick at the Temple of the City God.”
“Ning Ye, don’t forget, this is what we villagers in Hejianfu should do.”
“Don’t be disrespectful! Otherwise, Master Chenghuang will be angry!”
As Li Shun’er said this, she winked at Kong Ning, showing a panicked expression.
It seemed that he was afraid that Kong Ning would say something outrageous in front of this strange shrine.
