Main Text Chapter 61: Resolving the Knot in Your Heart (Part 1)
Miao Yi was a little surprised. The girl Li whom he once wanted to marry was already married?
Thinking about the past, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile, and asked again: "I remember that the security guard here was named Huang."
The young boss smiled and said: "You are talking about Huang Baochang. He is now the lord of Changfeng City. Old Li's daughter married him. Old Li followed the rising tide and became the chief protector."
"Uh..." Miao Yi almost choked on his noodles. The old scalper ate the tender grass. He raised his head in surprise and said, "Don't Baochang Huang have a wife?"
The young boss sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know. No, have you seen the silk and satin shop opposite?"
"What does it have to do with the Silk Village?"
"It turns out that the silk shop was the house of Butcher Zhang's family in the city. The boss of the Zhang family killed Huang Baochang's son. Huang Baochang's wife became seriously ill due to grief and later died. Lao Li's daughter married Huang Baochang and remarried. But don’t mention it, the boss of the Zhang family is also capable. He went to Wanzhang Hongchen to collect two fairy grasses and sent his younger brothers and sisters to become immortals. After he killed someone, he ran away without saying a word. I heard No one has been caught yet, but the family house was confiscated by the government and turned into the current Silk House. "
Miao Yi frowned and said, "The eldest brother and sister of the Zhang family have become immortals. How dare the government touch their family's property?"
"The city lord also has the support of immortals behind him, so don't be afraid."
Miao Yi was startled and suddenly realized, how could he have forgotten this incident? Could it be that Huang Baozhang's daughter who was given to the immortal as a maid had something to do with Xiong Xiao's deal with him this time? Could it be that Huang Baochang was so lucky that he gave his daughter to Xiong Xiao, the cave master of Changfeng Cave, as a maid?
Miao Yi ignored the matter and asked about Zhao Xingwu in a roundabout way.
As a result, Zhao Xingwu's life was worse than his death. Huang Baochang, because he failed to catch Miao Yi to avenge his son after his death, transferred part of his anger to Zhao Xingwu, and brought Zhao Xingwu into the 'Chengyuan Mansion'. Now he doesn't know if he is dead. It's alive.
It seemed that Zhao Xingwu didn't need to worry about him anymore. After finishing his meal, Miao Yi threw down a few coins and left the noodle shop.
The City Lord's Mansion is not difficult to find. I touched the wall of the alley, slipped in when no one was around, and hid in the canopy of a garden.
In the garden, a kid with pigtails pointing upwards was laughing and playing hide-and-seek with a maid among the flowers. A plump young woman with jewels and jewels was standing under the pavilion with a handkerchief in her hand, smiling and watching. There was a maid standing beside her with her hands tied.
Seeing this young woman, Miao Yi couldn't help but feel a little sad. For some reason, he had already seen from the look in the young woman's eyes that she was the daughter of the Li family across from his home.
Maybe it's because of his wealthy and pampered life. In addition to his rich clothes, white skin and tender flesh, he is fat and plump.
Miao Yi had the impression that the Li family's daughter's slim face had lost weight, her waist was thicker, her head was full of pearls, and she was very rich.
Obviously, looking at the situation in front of them, they have already given birth to children.
Miao Yi was really envious of Lao Huang. He was a father to other people, and he could still get a wife to help him give birth to a baby. It was really good. He was a typical old cow eating young grass.
Miao Yi himself felt a little funny when he thought about the incident when he went to the Li family to propose marriage with a matchmaker and was exposed. It was quite interesting to think about it.
If he still has feelings for this young woman now, then he really doesn't. His horizons have been opened.
To put it more realistically, he already looks down on the Li family's daughter. If you give it to him for free, he still thinks it's a burden.
If he was still selling pork at a street stall back then, he would definitely be happy to marry the most beautiful girl on the street.
However, things are not what they used to be!
Whichever mountain you go to, you will see the scenery on that mountain. Yesterday’s yellow flowers are hard to see!
The reason is very simple. When a man is humble, a woman has the right to despise him for being poor. When a man becomes rich, she also has the right to despise her. This is called equality between men and women.
He stared at the daughter of the Li family and recalled those years, looked around to determine the primary and secondary layout of the mansion, cast a spell to check the situation inside the house, and flashed through the air without fear of being discovered by the people below, nor could he be caught by the naked eye.
He sneaked through a window and entered a side room of the main house.
A dignified monk dealing with a mortal is a bit like a thief.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. A dignified city lord cannot be killed by anyone he wants. This is a violation of the law, and it is against the laws of the practice world. The city lord is managing a group of believers for the practice world, how can he be allowed to do so by himself? Kill whoever wants to be killed? Once discovered, you will be severely punished!
Miao Yi didn't want to fall into this trap, otherwise Yang Qing wouldn't let him off easily.
Fast forward more than ten years, Huang Baochang, now the city lord, has also gained weight and is older. He is in his fifties, wearing official uniforms and with a big belly.
The butler held a small, carefully carved box in his hand, and a servant held a heavy box and placed it on the coffee table.
The butler waved his hand, pushed the servants back, and approached Huang Baochang, who was slowly drinking a cup of tea. He opened the small box in his hand. There was a rice pearl lying quietly in the velvet cushion inside, exuding a faint fragrance. The white soft halo is just a wish power bead that gathers the wishes of thousands of people.
Huang Baochang glanced and nodded, and the housekeeper opened the small box again, which contained a box of neatly numbered yellow-orange crystal coins.
Huang Baochang put down his tea cup and asked, "The quantity is not less than before, right?"
The butler bowed and said: "No less. But Sir, since the cave master has been promoted and the eldest lady is there to support him, there is no need for us to give such a generous gift to the new cave master. How dare he not give the eldest lady face?" Can’t do it?”
"In this regard, you are not as good as the eldest girl." Huang Baozhang stood up with his hands behind his back and taught in a serious manner: "The eldest girl has sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Although she has face, the gift to the new cave master who is about to take office cannot be less. The previous etiquette should not be less. There is no need to make the new cave master unhappy because of a little thing. When the time comes, the new cave master will help to speak well, and the mountain master will have the eldest girl to speak, then we will have the opportunity to go to Shaotai City. Otherwise, the new cave master will say in front of the mountain master that I am not capable enough to manage a larger city, and the mountain master will probably think more about it. You are a little short-sighted. We can't lose the big picture because of the small."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The housekeeper immediately smiled and admitted his mistake.
"Don't say it, check the other accompanying gifts again, and there must be no shortage of etiquette." Huang Baozhang warned.
"Yes, I'll check it now." The housekeeper nodded and bowed and retreated.
Huang Baochang turned around and picked up the exquisitely carved small box, opened it, and picked up the rice-sized pearl to examine it. Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched the rice-sized pearl away.
Miao Yi appeared beside him at some point, took the rice-sized pearl to confirm its authenticity, and it was indeed true.
