The devil is coming

Chapter 29 Where to find it
Hutou City is not big. It is certainly prosperous among border towns, but compared with the cities of later generations that often have three, four or five rings, it still seems too small.
The four of them led the horses and arrived at the inn soon.
On weekdays, by this point in the inn, business would have slowed down, and at most there would still be two or three tables of guests waiting to see who would leave first and then pay the bill, competing for endurance.
But the inn tonight was obviously a little unusual. It was too deserted. Except for a small lantern at the door of the inn, the rest of the place was completely dark.
"My lord, there is a problem." Xue San immediately rushed to Zheng Fan and took a protective stance.
There must be a problem, just like the club in later generations actually closed at ten o'clock. Either something went wrong or they were severely punished.
Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes. He was really worried that something might happen to the inn. After all, this was his home in this world, and there were people at home.
"Is Alang back?"
At this time, there was a white-haired man at the door holding a lantern and looking here.
I know this uncle Zheng Fan, he is the doorman of the inn. Usually after the inn closes at night, he will come out and place the bed behind the door panel to keep watch.
He had no relatives in Hutou City and could no longer survive, so Siniang rewarded him with a mouthful of food. He received no wages, but she was in charge of the food, and he also received a red envelope during the festival.
"What happened at home?" Xue San asked the old man.
"Oh, I'm really back, and I'm all back." The uncle looked at all four of them with a lantern, and then said: "Alangs, the inn is closed."
"It doesn't open. What happened?" Zheng Fan asked.
"No, no, it's Siniang and Mr. Bei who bought a new house a while ago. Everyone has moved to the new house, and now the little old man is here to guard it.
By the way, Siniang also told the little old man that if the Alangs came back, they should go to the yard at the innermost corner of the old well at the street entrance. "
"Moved?" Zheng Fan was a little confused.
It's so good, why did you move?
Even if you want to speculate in land and real estate... you have no future in Hutou City?
However, Xue San and Liang Cheng didn't look too surprised after hearing this explanation. It seemed that they had been mentally prepared for it.
They followed their master out to kill and kill happily. How could the few who stayed at home be safe?
If you don't do something, won't you be compared to others?
…………
"The monthly salary of the officials in Hutou City will be doubled according to what is stated in the account above."
Blind Bei was sitting on a chair, holding an orange in his hand, peeling the orange while making a decision.
Because of the abundant sunshine, the oranges here are very sweet and delicious.
"Twice?" A Ming, who was holding the account book in his hand, was a little confused and said, "Is it too much?"
The Three Gods Association, under the "heartbroken" of Blind Man Bei,
The leadership all went to the arms of their respective gods overnight;
The remaining believers fell into disarray on the second day. This kind of gang, which has no real business profit distribution and relies entirely on defrauding believers of incense money, is really too easy to disintegrate.
The hyena gang was almost completely slaughtered by A Ming himself. There might be two or three kittens that survived, but it would not affect the overall situation.
However, because Blind Bei was concerned about Zheng Fan's attitude, the business of the Hyena Gang was immediately stopped. The barbarian slaves stayed as slaves, and the dozen or so little ladies were all kept by Blind Bei and made special arrangements.
The Juyi Gang and the Che Gang took over relatively smoothly, but you must know that after the inn forces unified the four forces in Hutou City, they also inherited the need for these four forces to report to the Hutou City officials every month. The money paid as tribute by officials of all sizes.
The adults at the top don't care how the gangs below are killing and exterminating. As long as the monthly routine delivered to their doorsteps is still there, they will not pay attention to it.
This is the black path and the white path. They seem to be in harmony with each other, but they are completely connected, just like the Tai Chi Pisces diagram. From ancient times to the present, they cannot be completely separated.
But now, the inn is equivalent to having to bear twice as much monthly money as before under the decision of Blind Bei after cutting off two sources of income.
Faced with A Ming's puzzlement, Blind Bei licked his lips directly in the direction where Siniang was sitting and said:
"Ah Ming, ask Si Niang, she has opened more brothels in various cities in different eras, and she knows more about them."
When Si Niang heard this, she nodded and said:
"This expense cannot be saved. Moreover, because we are new here and have just emerged, we need to show our attitude more sincerely."
A Ming shook his head. He actually didn't like this kind of calculation. However, there was still one thing he didn't understand and asked:
"Three Gods Association, why were they dismantled so directly?"
The believers pay a lot of money for incense every month.
"The Lord is a cultural creator, well, I said it was in the past."
"What does this have to do with the Lord?"
"Just as he is disgusted with human trafficking, the Lord is also unwilling to touch the church and X-religion issues, so we can't count on this money, and we can't touch this kind of business."
At this time, Siniang picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said:
"Blind Bei's comics were originally banned because they involved that aspect of the plot."
"..." Blind Bei said.
A Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"It's not bad. The savings of several gangs are quite large, which is enough for our recent expenses. Let's feed those two-mouthed people above.
As long as they stay out of the way, we will have many opportunities to make money.
The seven of us, gathered together, are still in this ancient time. If we can't even get money out of it, we might as well just wipe our necks ourselves. "
"Well, it's not difficult to make money. Once you've sorted out all the relationships between you and your subordinates, you'll be ready to get started." Siniang agreed.
As long as the subsequent business can keep up, the money on hand now will be enough for everyone to spend the past few months, and it is a very luxurious expense.
"What business?" A Ming asked.
The blind man's empty eyes were facing A Ming.
not talking.
"What do you mean?" A Ming asked.
"Look at my eyes."
"..." A Ming.
Feng Siniang was at the side to smooth things over, and stabbed A Ming in the side, saying:
"We are all time travellers. Isn't it easy to make some money by making perfume or soap?"
At this time, the door of the house was pushed open from the outside, and Yun Yatou stuck her head out and shouted to the three people inside:
"Mom, the master is back, they are all back."
…………
Zheng Fan felt like he was in a dream,
I have seen many other time-travel works before, and most of the protagonists have a very hard life after time-traveling. Later, it became popular that after time-traveling, there would be a drag sister by his side.
On my side, there was a maid at the beginning. After wandering around for a while, there was a big courtyard when I came back.
Especially when Zheng Fan was led through the rockery in the yard, he saw two rows of young ladies in ancient costumes standing on both sides, greeting him in unison.
For a moment, Zheng Fan felt in a trance.
At this moment, Zheng Fan suddenly had an idea in his heart. It seemed that it would be good to live like this.
Although there is no electricity, Internet or air conditioning, the life of an ancient master, with three wives and four concubines, and his arrogance is still very attractive.
The fragrance of powder is filling the air, hot water has been prepared in the pool, and flower petals are spread on top.
The sound of silk and bamboo music sounded, teasing the heartstrings just right.
At some point, Zheng Fan had already taken off his clothes, and walked into the pool in a daze, blending in with the fragrant wind.
call,
It’s vain.
...............
"I think this is a bit too much. Aren't you afraid that the Lord will sink in like this?"
A Ming was a little worried.
Now, all plans are being carried out in an orderly manner, the underground forces in Hutou City have been unified, and the Lord and the others have returned safely.
But Blind Bei directly arranged this gentle scene. Was he planning to get the Lord drunk in it?
Blind Bei shook his head and said: "It still depends on the Lord's own choice."
"choose?"
“Actually, a person’s desire can never be satisfied. When you get one, you will naturally want to get two and three;
Many literary works like to portray the kind of simple old farmers who face the loess and back to the sky. They think they are simple, kind and down-to-earth;
But if there is really no chance to move up, and there is no hope of leaving, who would want to stay like this for the rest of his life? "
"I just think it's a bit low to seduce the Lord in this way."
"It's okay. Your Majesty, you have to enjoy the fruits of our team's development when you come back. Your Majesty is different from us. Each of us is actually a pervert.
Most of our interests and hobbies are not in the enjoyment that normal people understand. Our needs are more extreme, and our desires are more distorted.
As for the Lord, he has a more normal side. You can never expect that the Lord and you will squat together one day and taste the blood of people of different ages and regions. The taste will be sweeter, right? "
"Don't take it off for fun, otherwise the master will stay in the back house and won't be able to come out. You won't be happy anymore, and you will cry."
"That is the Lord's own choice. We have promised him before. The right to choose is with him. He can also make a rich man live a stable life and have children."
"I just remember that the Lord did not make this choice before."
"But people will change. When we first came here, we only had one inn, and we could barely afford food and clothing. At that time, we were barefoot and were not afraid of wearing shoes. Now that the conditions have improved, we naturally have to make new choices for the Lord. A chance.
It’s not like you haven’t heard of the story of the two cows. "
"Liang Cheng and the others are already having dinner in the side hall, aren't you going?"
"Go, let's meet later?"
"it is good."
The two of them stood here for about another quarter of an hour, and saw that Zheng Fan hadn't come out yet in the backyard.
Blind Bei sighed,
Road:
"Go to the side hall and hear what they encountered along the way."
…………
In the side hall,
Xue San, Liang Cheng and Fan Li had finished eating, especially the two rice buckets next to Fan Li were already empty.
This child, after going to the desert, got a chance to eat rice, and he couldn't hold it back.
After Blind Bei and A Ming came in, everyone except Magic Pill was there.
Feng Siniang said with some confusion:
"Where is the Lord?"
"I guess you need to take a rest." Blind Bei replied.
For a time,
Everyone present was somewhat silent.
Xue San smacked his lips and looked at Blind Bei. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. But as you can imagine, he was very unwilling.
Liang Cheng was more straightforward. He raised his head, faced Blind Bei and A Ming, and said directly:
"Bullshit."
Obviously, they also knew about Blind Bei's arrangement for the Lord.
Blind Bei remained silent, even wanting to laugh.
Siniang was concentrating on her sewing work.
"Hey, have you eaten and drank well?"
At this time,
Zheng Fan's voice came from outside the door,
Everyone stood up together and looked outside.
Zheng Fan, wearing a leopard skin, walked in barefoot from the door, walked straight to the front seat and sat down.
this feeling,
It's like taking a shower in the bathroom, wearing the casual clothes in the bathroom and getting wet in the rain and coming to the leisure area.
There are two differences,
First, this leopard print is simply off-putting;
The second thing is, this damn thing is really leopard skin...
It must be the leader of the Hyena Gang. The collection left behind was altered by Siniang and used directly by the leader.
"Siniang." Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and pointed at Siniang.
"Lord."
"Next time, prepare a set of clothes for me at the Tangchi. I searched for a long time and found this set. I'm really embarrassed to come out naked to see you."
"The slave family knows it. This is the slave family's fault."
"No, no, no." Zheng Fan waved his hand, then looked at the people at the dinner table, and said with a smile: "Have you all eaten and drank?"
"Eat, my lord."
"already ate."
"Waiting for you, Lord."
Zheng Fan smiled, leaned slightly to the left side of the chair, put his hands together and patted them gently.
Road:
"Okay, let's get down to business."
The five demon kings present felt that their master's entire temperament had undergone tremendous changes since he came in. This kind of confidence, this kind of maturity, and this kind of... ease, as if he was a different person.
Only the blind man Bei smiled and said nothing.
He just detected it with his mental power,
The Lord has actually been standing in the corridor outside the hall for quite a while.
While shivering a little from the cold outside, I was talking to myself as if I was doing self-hypnosis:
"I am Chen Daoming, I am Chen Daoming, I am Chen Daoming!"
--------
PS Thanks to Brother Daohu and Miss Grasshopper for becoming the leaders of "Demon Arrival"!
It’s not easy for a newcomer to write a book.
The first book "Midnight Bookstore" did well, so I was even more anxious and stressed when writing the second book.
Fortunately, I have everyone’s support and encouragement, thank you all!
