The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined
Chapter 104: The Candle Trick (1)
"Okay, in that case, you should quickly bring the folks in your town to the Dragon King Temple and let me see. I don't believe that your Master Tong's bright flame candle is really that powerful." Mu Hanxing just didn't believe it and insisted on fighting him to the end.
"Okay! Just wait and see! I will tell all the townspeople that an ignorant woman like you who is fickle and slanders the Dragon King has come to the town, and let them kick you out!" Master Tong no longer cared about his image and scolded angrily.
"I'd love to, but you have to have the ability." She was so arrogant and smiled contemptuously.
"You... let's go! Now!" Master Tong was so angry that he took his two beautiful wives and concubines and walked out of the inn first. The thugs lying on the ground took a long time to get up together, and followed them out with their half-crippled bodies staggering.
Most of the people had left, leaving only the innkeeper, who was hiding behind the counter trembling with fear, staring at the three strangers who stayed behind with wide eyes.
Seeing that the fight was over, Jingchen actually swept the dust off his clothes, put his hands in his sleeves, stood up calmly and gracefully, and walked slowly to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was startled and quickly stepped back, begging for mercy: "Sir, please spare my life. I, I am just a handyman for Master Tong. I don't know anything!"
Unexpectedly, Jingchen actually said, "Your tea is good. Pack me a portion."
Everyone: "..."
Mu Hanxing and Long Jin were waiting patiently at the door for Jingchen to buy local tea. They stood on the left and right of the door like two door gods, and were very confused as to why they had to wait for him to buy tea. It was fucking outrageous.
When he came out of the inn with two bundles of tea and a happy face, Mu Hanxing didn't even bother to look at him, but still asked him seriously: "Jingchen, I took what you just said seriously. Is the automatic candle extinguishing device you mentioned true?"
Jing Chen was stunned: "When did the City Lord trust me so much?"
"..."
Mu Hanxing wanted to punch him. Long Jin was dissatisfied and said, "If you don't know, just say so earlier. What should I do now? I'd better tell these stupid mortals that I am the Dragon King."
"Do you think they will believe it?" Mu Hanxing said calmly, "It's just like the last time we met Jing Leizi in Wuliang Tower. The people trust Jing Leizi so much because they have received practical benefits. Even if you tell them something that they can't see or touch, they will still be skeptical."
"At worst, I'll reveal my true identity and see if they still believe it!" Long Jin frowned.
Mu Hanxing said: "It is easy to expose your true form, but if you don't expose Master Tong's true identity, even if everyone knows that you are the Dragon King, what can you do? After we leave, Master Tong can still come up with new tricks and try every possible way to defraud people of their money."
At this time, Jing Chen regained his serious expression and said to Mu Hanxing and Long Jin, "I will go to Huajing to get something. You two should walk slowly towards the Dragon King Temple. I will be back soon."
As Jingchen said this, he quickly flew back to Huajing on his Ruyi.
Mu Hanxing looked at his receding back, nodded slightly, and felt extremely relieved.
As the saying goes, "Raise a man for a thousand days and use him for a moment." At critical moments, male favorites always have to be put to use.
It’s strange to say, when the female devil put a seal on him before, he wanted to leave Fuyue City all the time. Now that the seal on him has been lifted, he can always consciously return to her side.
Mu Hanxing trusted him very much at this moment. He looked serious and didn't seem to be joking. He and Long Jin walked slowly towards the direction of the Dragon King Temple.
By the time the two of them walked slowly to the Dragon King Temple, Jingchen was almost on his way back. At this time, many people from the town had gathered at the Dragon King Temple, all of whom came to support their Master Tong.
The town was not big to begin with, so the news that Mu Hanxing, a rude outsider, had beaten up the waiter at Tong's Inn spread quickly throughout the town, and the people were so angry that they came in groups, cursing.
A group of people gathered outside, all of them were on edge, staring angrily at Mu Hanxing and Long Jin who were walking slowly not far away. Someone in the distance was holding a fire stick and shouting, "You outsiders! How dare you insult Master Tong!"
"That's right. Without the charity money that Master Tong gives out every year, we don't know how we would survive!"
"That's right! Outsiders are not welcome here!"
"That's right! Get out of Huaiyu Town!"
"Get out of Huaiyu Town!"
"Get out of Huaiyu Town!"
The group of people became more and more excited as they talked, and attacked each other together, but Mu Hanxing stood there with a calm face. Mainly because she felt she was used to it, and this kind of posture was nothing to her.
But Long Jin is different. He can ride the wind to fly in the sky or dive into the sea like a dragon. His status is so noble that no one dares to treat him like this!
Except Mu Hanxing.
He immediately became furious, and his aura was as powerful as a mountain and sea. A glare from him was enough to frighten many people, and their voices became softer.
"You bunch of ignorant mortals! Do you know who I am?" Long Jin was so angry that his voice was like a bell.
Mu Hanxing pulled him again, hinting him to calm down. She stepped forward and said to Master Tong, who was standing aside with a sullen face, "Master Tong, from what I see, all the young people in Huaiyu Town have left for a living. No matter how many people your Tong family has, can you still conjure up thousands of people to look after all the shops in the town at the same time? Do you really want to take care of people in their old age?"
"This..." Master Tong's face suddenly turned red, as if she had revealed something, and the anger that was rising up suddenly subsided.
He rolled his eyes and began to fall into deep thought.
This logic actually requires thinking. Mu Hanxing was really troubled by these pedantic and profit-seeking idiots in the script. If a place, a region or even a country wants to develop well, it must introduce young talents. The power of young people cannot be replaced.
In order to put all the money into his own pocket, Mr. Tong engaged in monopoly and dictatorship. As time went on, the only people left in the town were old people. For a man like Mr. Tong, is it possible that he is adopting a roundabout tactic to provide for the young people in the town in their old age?
No matter how you think about it, you know it's impossible, but the consequences have not yet been noticed.
In short: stupid.
"I see that most of the people in your Tong family are over 50 years old. When the time comes, do you plan to invite back the young people who have left, or spend more money to hire outsiders to do chores for you? The town has been deserted for a long time, and who are you going to bully in front of? In the end, will it be a profit or a loss? Can't you do the math?" Mu Hanxing looked at him and spoke sharply.
"I..." Mr. Tong's face turned pale and he continued to think about this problem.
