Black Myth: You and I are both destined
Chapter 164 Choice!
Tianming knew in his heart that all this was just a test set by the Mother of Lishan.
He had to go down the mountain alone and return to the mysterious black shop.
When he set foot on that familiar mountain road again, he found that everything had changed.
The shop sign has been changed from "Wan Yisheng" to "Qian Yisheng", and the owner and the clerks in the shop have also been replaced by strangers.
The new boss and his men were sweating profusely, as if they had just finished work. Tianming was a little curious, so he walked a few steps towards the backyard and found that there was a body that had not been buried there. The pair of shoes looked a bit like the previous boss Wan.
Tianming was in mixed feelings, for this scene reminded him of the story of Fengxian County in Journey to the West. In Mount Li, he could not use his magic power, and he could not kill all the bandits, just like fire could not burn through the iron chains, chickens could not peck through the rice mountain, and dogs could not lick the flour mountain.
If he doesn't find out the reason why this black shop is located, he won't be able to break the situation.
Thinking of this, Tianming decided to walk into this black shop from the main entrance again, ordered some food and drinks, asked for a guest room, ate alone in silence, and then went back to the guest room to sleep.
Sure enough, that evening the new boss and his servants carried another corpse out to bury it.
This time Tianming did not follow them out, nor did he poison their food. Instead, he slept peacefully until the next morning and said goodbye to the store owner and his employees.
But this time he did not go up the mountain, but hid. When the waiter returned to the village to recruit people according to the boss's arrangement, he followed the waiter back to the village.
It turned out that the guy's surname was Jiang, and everyone in the village he returned to had the surname Jiang.
The clan emblem of this clan village is a frog, and this guy's generation also has this character, so he is called Jiang Washeng.
He first came to the poorest family on the edge of the village. The father of the family had died early, leaving only a widow raising three children, all of whom were deaf and dumb.
Jiang Washeng used sign language to tell them to go to the black shop at the foot of the mountain to burn firewood. The owner of the shop had changed and they could not only have enough food but also make some money.
The three brothers had no choice but to agree.
Tianming's senses changed at this moment. The passing of time in Mount Li seemed to have no effect on him, and other people could not see his figure.
He followed Jiang Washeng silently, observing his every day.
Later, the matter was known to the rich young men in the village, who found him, but unexpectedly, they came to laugh at Jiang Washeng.
Several people kicked Jiang Washeng down and mocked him: "You are a poor guy yourself, and you still have to give others a job. Are you kidding me?"
But Jiang Washeng was not angry. He took out a large bag of silver and showed it to the villagers: "This is the money given by the new boss. He said that the firewood, rice, vegetables, meat and fish used in the store will all be bought from the village. He will pay the highest price outside, no lower."
The villagers were somewhat shaken when they saw the money, but they still didn't dare to believe it until the first vegetable vendor sold his vegetables to Jiang Washeng. Only then did they believe it.
Tianming observed all this, trying to find the key to the problem.
The days passed quickly and Tianming didn't know how long he had been here.
During this period, many villagers were pulled by their friends from the same village to work as clerks in the black shops. Gradually, the whole village knew about what was happening in the black shops.
At first there were some people who objected, but after everyone took the money, they all tacitly remained silent.
However, the butcher often complained and asked his son to talk to Boss Qian to use less human flesh to make buns, as eating it would make people sick. His pork was more reliable.
But later his son came back with several hundred thousand dollars, and he learned to shut up.
In the end, everyone in the village learned their lesson. Only occasionally, officials would come to investigate, but every time they came, they could not ask anything. If someone was missing, the villagers would say they had never seen him.
Missing people happened all the time, but they never caused much of a stir because Boss Qian was very smart and never messed with those in power.
Later, Tianming discovered the reason. He saw Boss Qian sending his men to deliver a gift one day.
The one who was carrying the money was Jiang Washon, and he was complaining.
"We can't even earn this much money in a year, so why should we give it to those officials for nothing?"
Boss Qian answered with a smile.
"Parents, parents, how can people who don't respect their parents live a good life?"
Later one day, Boss Qian hurriedly found Jiang Washeng, with a serious face, and ordered him to pick a fireman from the kitchen and beat him to death, and then take the body to the county government office.
Jiang Washeng's heart tightened. After all, he was the one who brought these people in. If he beat them to death, how would he explain to their mothers?
But thinking that he still had to eat and live tomorrow, he had no choice but to do it.
When he dragged the corpse and Boss Qian into the county government office, he found out that it was the county magistrate's son who broke into Widow Liu's house after getting drunk. Widow Liu and her little daughter were tortured to death. It was a horrible sight. The guy who was burning the fire was the scapegoat who was taken as a scapegoat.
Jiang Washeng felt mixed emotions, but he knew that he was already deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself.
Thanks to Boss Qian's operation, the business of the black shops became better and better, one shop became two, and two shops became ten.
Later, they were renovated several times. Some of them were turned into small buildings for singing, and some were turned into bathhouses for bathing.
Although people from the government often came to pay bills and eat and drink for free, the boss made more and more money.
Sometimes those officials would get drunk and deliberately laugh at the boss, asking him what he did. The boss would just smile and say, "I run a small business."
Others can get drunk, but the boss cannot. If he really tells others about what he has done, wouldn’t that cause trouble for the officials?
They seemed to have a tacit understanding that the officials should eat, drink and take whatever they wanted, and Qian Dongjia would serve them respectfully, more affectionately than he would treat his own parents.
Later, a relative from his maternal family who sold fruit in the village came to visit him, but ended up leaving him in the inn. The family was dissatisfied and went to the government to sue Boss Qian.
It was quite lively at the time, but later on, for some reason, the family accidentally fell down while walking. Four of the five people in the family died, and the remaining one became a fool, with all his limbs broken.
There was no follow-up to the complaint, and the village returned to its former prosperity and tranquility.
Several years later, the county magistrate who was on good terms with Boss Qian was about to be promoted.
Boss Qian brought a lot of things to congratulate him.
Who would have thought that the county magistrate would suddenly change his attitude, arrest Boss Qian, and throw him into jail, and all the evil deeds he had done over the years were brought to light.
Boss Qian's property was later confiscated and he died in prison for unknown reasons. The county magistrate was promoted several levels for his achievements in government, and it is said that he now plays an important role in the court.
Jiang Washeng ran away the fastest after hearing the news and hid in his hometown, but he was caught again by a group of soldiers within a few months.
The leader of the team was the former county magistrate's legal advisor. He recognized Jiang Washeng and did not arrest him. Instead, he asked the soldiers to release him and whispered to him, "It's not good for Mr. Qian to have so many stores without anyone to manage them. Now that I'm the county magistrate, you're familiar with those businesses, so you can do it."
Later, the 'Qian Yisheng' store was reopened, but it was renamed 'Jiang Yisheng'.
Live on this basis and it will last forever!
At this moment, Jiang Washeng suddenly turned around and looked at Tianming and said, "Little monkey, can you think of a way to help me get rid of this bandit?"
The scene that I had seen for several years seemed like a dream at this moment, which lasted only a moment.
Jiang Washeng's face also turned into the Mother of Lishan.
"God's will, can Jiangjia Village be saved? Should it be saved?"
"If you have figured it out, I will help you."
