Vol 2 Chapter 14: terrified sheriff

Huangshan County, Ruixiang Firm.
Steward Liu took a sip of tea, looked at the woman in front of him, and waited for her response.
The woman is in her thirties and is the owner of Xiangrui Trading Company. After her husband passed away, she took up her own property.
Looking at the pile of items in front of her, the woman was also full of surprise, and her performance was exactly the same as that of Mr. Liu before.
After a while, the woman stopped and turned to look at Manager Liu.
"Old Liu, are you sure that boy is really an immortal teacher?"
The tone was solemn and with a hint of anticipation.
"Even if it is not an immortal master, it is absolutely impossible to be a mortal, otherwise there would be no such extraordinary means."
Recalling the previous experience, Manager Liu nodded and said in a positive tone.
"Since this is the case, it is the opportunity of our Ruixiang business, and we must not miss it no matter what!"
The female owner nodded decisively. After seeing these products, she had already made up her mind.
The only thing to worry about is the identity of Immortal Master Tang Zhen. This is not only a great opportunity, but also a risk.
Once you get into trouble, you are likely to be smashed to pieces.
But if you manage it properly, you will get a strong backer, and from then on, you will have a lot of money.
For so many years, Ruixiang Firm has been trapped in the county seat because there is no strong backer.
Now the opportunity is in front of you, you must not miss it, or you will regret it.
"Let's act now, raise as much money as possible, and try to buy enough goods.
Reuse the existing channels to sell these fairy utensils, and strive to build a reputation in a short period of time.
Once the reputation is opened and there are enough customers, then we will be able to continuously obtain rich profits without having to pay our own capital. "
After deducting the purchase price of the goods and the cost of operating the business, all that remains is profit.
For example, the price of a solar table lamp is one hundred taels from Tang Zhen, but if it is sold to customers, the price may increase several times or even ten times.
The profit margins that exist are simply frighteningly high.
Rare is the most expensive, as long as it is a good thing, it will not sell at a high price.
"The owner has ever thought that once the business is established, there will inevitably be people who are jealous.
At that time, what should we do? "
The female owner nodded and said in a light tone: "I have thought about this matter, we must use the power of my mother's family, with their protection, there should be no problem in this ancient state.
They will not contribute in vain, and must share a certain share, but as long as the business can be guaranteed to be smooth, it does not matter if they share a part of the profit.
As for that Immortal Master, we also have to find a way to win over him. If we pay a certain price, we can exchange for the protection of the other party, which is naturally the best thing. "
Liu Guanshi nodded lightly, but he was thinking about how to please Tang Zhen.
At the same time, Huangshan County Government also got news that a strange huge building appeared outside the city.
Hearing the report from his subordinates, the officer in charge of public security looked puzzled, suspecting that the messenger had drunk fake wine.
"Shilipo you're talking about, is it really that Shilipo village, which is 80 miles outside the city and near the Qingshui River?"
Looking at the subordinate who reported the letter, the sheriff asked again.
"That's right, it was that Shilipo, where a city suddenly appeared."
Hearing the words, the subordinate replied quickly, and reported everything he saw to the sheriff in front of him truthfully.
According to the regulations of the county government, it is necessary to inspect the villages under the jurisdiction once a month in order to detect and deal with problems in time.
As a result, during the inspection process, Loucheng was discovered by accident, and was greatly shocked.
Out of prudence, the inspecting officers and soldiers did not dare to observe closely, but returned to report after watching from a distance.
This is a big matter, and it is definitely not something that the inspectors can handle, let alone take random actions.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, they will definitely not escape severe punishment.
The sheriff listened to his subordinates and felt more and more incredible, and finally decided to take a look.
You must first find out what happened to that building, otherwise, if something goes wrong, he, the sheriff, will take the primary responsibility.
With the order, the officers and soldiers of the county town gathered quickly, and soon formed a team of more than 100 people.
Gu Wei
Fully armed and under the banner, he went out in a mighty manner and went straight to Shilipo.
Scenes like this are not uncommon in Huangshan County, and there are dozens of such bandit suppression operations every year.
Most of the time, it's just in vain.
People with discernment have long known that officers and soldiers did not dare to fight recklessly with bandits, and even colluded in private.
For this kind of thing, the magistrate also turns a blind eye, it may be a benefit, or it may be a fear of retaliation.
After the group left the city, they traveled for about five hours and finally came to the vicinity of Shilipo.
The sheriff riding on a horse saw a city from a distance, which looked like a hill.
"My God, there really is a city!"
The sheriff was shocked and angry. He didn't expect such a thing to happen in his own territory.
If this is investigated, it must be hard to blame, at least a charge of oversight.
But at the same time, he was also secretly vigilant in his heart, being able to quietly build such a city is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
You have to be careful and don't act recklessly.
With his men and horses, he slowly approached Loucheng, and finally stopped 150 meters away.
At such a distance, the lethality of the bow and arrow will be minimized, and even if it encounters a sudden attack, it can ensure its own safety as much as possible.
Looking at Loucheng from this distance, the more I look at it, the more frightened it becomes. This is not an ordinary city, it is clearly a military fortress.
If the war begins, not to mention the hundreds of men under his command, even tens of thousands of troops may not be able to capture it.
Unconsciously, the sheriff's cold sweat flowed down.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, the sheriff shouted loudly, "Listen to the people inside, I'm the sheriff of Huangshan County. You quickly report the origin for review."
As soon as the sheriff's voice fell, he heard a crisp sound from the top of the city, and then the banner in the team suddenly snapped.
The officers and soldiers were startled, and they all took on alert postures, and many officers and soldiers were trembling all over.
The sheriff was similarly frightened and almost fell off his horse.
However, he has practiced martial arts all the year round and belongs to the third-rate martial artist, otherwise he would not be qualified to become a sheriff of Huangshan County.
But the attack just now was so fast that he didn't even notice it at all.
It was clearer in his heart that the other party was only issuing a warning. If he aimed at his fatal point, he would have become a corpse at this moment.
"Quick, form a shield wall!"
Resisting the anger in his heart, the sheriff jumped off his horse, never daring to be negligent again.
When I was about to continue to observe, I saw a figure appearing on the top of the city, like a leaf blown by the wind, gently floating over from the top of the city.
It was a young man with an incomparably unrestrained posture, as if an immortal had descended into the world.
Seeing this scene, a group of officers and soldiers were stunned, and the sheriff was trembling with fright.
Such a magical means is definitely not something mortals can possess, and it is an existence that he cannot afford to offend.
"Immortal, this is an immortal!"
Suddenly, some officers and soldiers shouted, and then they dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground and kept kowtow.
"The immortal forgives the sin, the immortal forgives the sin, the villain has no intention of offending!"
The other officers and soldiers shivered, and some also knelt down and kowtowed, with expressions of panic all over their faces.
The sheriff stood by force, watching the black-clothed youth fall in front of him, his thoughts turned sharply in his mind, and he quickly bowed to show his respect.
Such a powerful existence can no longer be governed by the laws of the secular world. The sheriff is an old fritter, and naturally understands this truth.
"Wu Dayong, Sheriff of Huangshan County, pays a visit to the Immortal Master."
The sheriff's attitude at the moment is to be more respectful and more respectful. As a martial arts practitioner, he can vaguely perceive Tang Zhen's terrifying strength.
Maybe it only takes one finger to grind him into a puree.
For such an existence, you must not offend, otherwise, you will find your own way of death.
"There is one thing, I also ask Chief Wu to tell the public that Shilipo will be my fairy's cave from now on, and please don't disturb it casually."
Tang Zhen smiled slightly and issued a warning to the officers and soldiers in front of him with an unquestionable attitude.
