Chapter 481: Suspected to be a bit too wide

~9 min read 1,682 words

"Wait and see!"

"That's it?" Xiang Fang Su was dumbfounded, "You went home and came up with 'wait and see'?"

"Uh-huh."

"..." Xiang Fang Su was silent, changing the subject, "Who did you ask? Is Big Brother Yuelong at your house?"

Liang Qu looked up slightly: "Your level is too low, not enough to know."

"My level is too low?" Xiang Fang Su pointed his thumb at himself, shouting, "Master Liang! You haven't been promoted yet, my rank is two levels higher than yours! Who has a lower level than whom?"

Liang Qu sighed.

"Those who understand understand, those who don't won't understand even if I tell them. Don't ask, the interests involved are too big, knowing it won't do you any good, I can only say the water is very deep."

"?"

"Master Liang, the return gift sent by the envoy, look..."

Chen Zhaoan saw that the two had a moment of pause in their conversation, helped the old chief priest forward to ask.

The old chief priest held a red velvet tray, in which three treasure plants were arranged neatly.

A water treasure ginseng, a translucent small grass, and a clear wave lotus.

Just looking at it with the eyes, thick water vapor rushed to the face.

All good goods.

Encountering the strange thing of snake demons offering gifts, Liang Qu went home the first time and didn't collect the treasure plants, but no one dared to have thoughts.

In the eyes of all the villagers, the snake demon offering gifts was the River God manifesting; who dared?

Even if several martial arts hall masters in the town made a move to snatch, all the village elders would have to stop them!

Liang Qu was not polite at all: "Put it away, send it to my house."

The four big snakes didn't specify the target, so it was really not good to eat alone, and the River God Festival was held together by the village elders.

But since it was named to be sent to the main sacrificer, no one had any opinion.

Several martial arts hall masters on the side were slightly disappointed.

Liang Qu was always generous, and it seemed there was no share this time.

Xiang Fang Su said regretfully: "If I had known there were treasure plants, I should have been the main sacrificer, and you the priest."

Liang Qu complained: "Then the snake demon would have named the priest."

"Well, that's true."

Xiang Fang Su didn't know the purpose of the snake demons offering treasure plants, but there must be a reason.

Where would pie fall from the sky?

"Is there any danger in the matter?" Xiang Fang Su said, "Four snake demons, at worst, you tell everyone that you discovered the vision yourself.

The 30,000-tael boat ticket, the True Gang baptism is worth it, later Brother Xu distributed money to everyone, the boat ticket money didn't cost much, and most of this money was earned by your information.

The Arresting Demon Division, the Three Dharma Divisions, and Prefect Jian will owe you a favor, they will definitely come to help, and if we pull together, we can pull out ten more Great Martial Artists, it's not hopeless to leave all the snake demons behind!"

"No need, we have a better way!"

"A better way?"

"Anyway, don't worry for now, I have a way to deal with it."

Liang Qu's confidence increased greatly after Su Guishan's point.

The Flood Dragon realized something was wrong and wanted to check the accounts with the snake demons, which couldn't be done in a short time, and there would be a not-short time difference in between.

Liang Qu could completely pull this time difference by selling the "white ape" news, taking a group of snake demons to run around, catching the "white ape," so that the messenger sent by the Flood Dragon couldn't find the snakes.

Pingyang Prefecture was very large, and it wasn't easy for the shallow water area to find a group of snake demons running around.

His time was still ample.

Seeing that Liang Qu had a plan, Xiang Fang Su didn't ask any more.

After a series of events such as the white ape killing the snake demon, the frog clan holding the boat anchor, and the Dragon-Men sending subordinates.

Everyone tasted the flavor.

This kid, the human and demon veins underwater, are suspected to be a bit too wide.

The sun shifted west.

The reeds on the shore were transparently green, and the leaf shadows interlaced.

Three Great Demons were gone by a small half, exposing white bones.

The martial artists cutting meat changed several batches, and the people on the pier not only didn't decrease, but gathered more and more.

In the most crowded place, it was so cramped that one couldn't turn around.

The river was full of small boats, filled with grandfathers and grandsons.

They were all from various towns and towns, rushing to join the fun.

The River God Festival wasn't completely over, the altar had been dismantled and moved, but there were still lively gatherings and fireworks performances in the evening.

The water stage would also have new plays.

After repairs and expansion, this year's water stage became larger, and the small song troupe from last year was still performing in the evening.

But no matter what, Liang Qu wouldn't let anyone edit and perform his own play again.

It didn't matter elsewhere, at least not performing in front of him.

Need face.

While distributing the meat, Liang Qu drank mung bean soup and chatted with the village elders, hearing many people on the pier discussing moving to Yixing Town to live in the future.

Listen carefully.

Whoa!

Nothing else.

The River God Festival once or twice a year in Yixing Town is too fragrant!

A jin and a half of monster meat is not much, but eating it strengthens the body and eliminates diseases, which is more useful than any spiritual medicine!

Especially since it is distributed per head, children have a share too; eating it makes the baby sturdy, and since last year, there have been few cases of difficult labor and infant mortality in nearby towns.

Such good meat, locals can get a full three jin!

Twice as much as outsiders!

And compared to other surrounding towns, the development of Yixing Town is obviously good!

Pingyang Prefecture city doesn't count.

Wealthy families, merchant fleets, population influx, changing every day.

Other towns and cities are developing well under the drive of the prefecture city, but they are far from Yixing Town!

It is completely unique and leading!

Usually, there are almost no ruffians and scoundrels exploiting, and making a living is much simpler.

Most importantly, with the support of food and money from surrounding prefectures, continuously digesting and absorbing the population, Pingyang Prefecture still has no requirements for public certificates!

The so-called "public certificate" is the voucher for free movement.

In theory, adult men have tax and service responsibilities and cannot leave the place to wander around.

This thing is troublesome to handle.

First, submit materials, state the person's origin, age, reason for going out, destination, and main property carried.

Also find five neighbors to sign and guarantee, proving that the people and animals taken away are legal.

Find a close male relative or household head to take responsibility; if you don't return before the next tax and service, your taxes will be borne by him.

Liang Qu hadn't gone on a long trip before, so he didn't use it; later, when he went out, he became an official, and his waist token was the public certificate.

Relying on this trick, although it was mixed, Pingyang Prefecture absorbed quite a few black households, refugees, and hidden households.

Indirectly providing convenience for villagers who intended to move.

If you don't come now, it won't be easy to check public certificates in the future.

Come early, earn early.

For a time, everyone wanted to come to Yixing to settle down.

"Many people are good."

A festival can become a reason for commoners to move.

Liang Qu seemed to have seen the next River God Festival with a larger scale of people.

Just don't know what the Flood Dragon is doing now.

Thoughts wandered aimlessly.

Night.

The water stage was brightly lit.

The gold oil burned fiercely, illuminating a piece of misty sunset, and the faint smell of rouge mixed with the moist river wind drifted.

Chen Zhaoan arranged the best viewing position as usual.

Liang Qu wanted three, because he didn't come alone, Long Yao and Long Li sat on his left hand.

He brought the Dragon Maidens from home to relieve boredom and see more of the scenery on the shore.

The two Dragon Maidens were flushed, experiencing this novel performance for the first time, pointing and telling Liang Qu their excitement, making the group of young men behind them restless.

Xiang Fang Su glanced twice, unhappy.

Liang Qu was in a good mood. 【4

Not to mention.

The play performed on stage wasn't his own, but the audiovisual effects were truly not bad.

Forget all worries!

"Good!"

"Bravo!"

As the play ended, loud whistles echoed across the water, deafeningly.

The densely packed boat bows collided, emitting muffled thuds.

A short distance away, dozens of water beasts leaped out of the water.

Yuantou brought over thirty little brothers for team building, all floating and cheering in the water.

The Mirage Insect drifted back and forth, its fist-like eyestalks swaying to the rhythm of the singing.

The fat catfish did a flip, flicking its two long whiskers at "Cannot Move," asking if it looked like the water sleeves waving on stage.

"Cannot Move" snorted through its nostrils, and a string of small bubbles surged out from the water.

Most of the water beasts were joyful, except for the otter, which had a rather bald head and sighed mournfully.

Further away.

The giant snakes watched for a while, saw Liang Qu surrounded by the crowd, knew they wouldn't find a chance to talk today, and dived away.

Find food first.
