Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

One day later, You Shouren visited Meng Mansion again and promised to agree to all Meng Zhao's conditions. At the same time, he brought many apology gifts including the Moonlight Essence and the Eight-Armed Shura Picture to the manor, which took twelve carts. .

As for the specific matters related to industrial changes, people from the Wu family were also taking care of them. In short, Meng Zhao was not bothered and he took care of them from beginning to end, which was considered to be careful.

On the same day, Meng Zhao began to arrange for Meng Chuan and Meng Rong to return to Nan'an. Not only did he send a team of Suzaku Divine Guards to escort the supplies, but there were also three great innates headed by Cang Shuyun. In this way, there should be no need for security. worried.

Meng Chuan and Meng Rong were very reluctant to leave, mainly because they didn't have enough fun, but after being beaten down by Meng Zhaoyi, they could only leave reluctantly and dejectedly.

As for the test of Wu Zunyuan, it seemed to have gone nowhere. You Shouren did not reveal any information, which surprised Meng Zhao.

However, he did not fully pin his hopes on Wu Zunyuan to take action.

As early as when he learned about Song Zhiwen, he asked Night Owl to collect all the information about this person, hoping to know himself and the enemy.

Unfortunately, this person was too well hidden and the information was not very complete. In addition, the Song family was not an unknown clan. Meng Zhao was hesitant for a while as to whether he should attack Song Zhiwen as originally planned.

After all, the stakes were high. The Song family seemed to be just a family, but in essence it was a member of the Family Alliance. If a war really started, Meng Zhao's current strength might not be able to withstand the suppression of the Wishui Alliance.

Furthermore, Tie Xiongfei was sucked clean by Zhao Hun with the Flame Demon Divine Furnace, and was shattered to pieces by the Demon Blood Escape. There was no evidence to support his death. Regardless of whether Song Zhiwen was the one who conspired to poison him, others had no conclusive evidence. In the absence of evidence, it is difficult to side with him.

Therefore, Meng Zhao did not move his troops for the time being, but sent more people to garrison at Yongling, so that he was prepared. As long as he held this place, he was not afraid that Song Zhiwen would not submit.

To put it bluntly, Meng Zhao did not have to kill Song Zhiwen, but the premise was that the other party had to offer something of sufficient weight as compensation. For example, the mysterious cave sky secret realm was suspected to be the tomb of a super strong man.

Think about it, how strong must a person be who can use a small world as his tomb? How rich should it be inside?

If there is really someone who wants to touch Colonel Jin, he will not let Yongling miss this opportunity no matter what.

Meng Zhao is naturally also very greedy. He is now focused on developing himself, cultivating both internal and external cultivation and making progress together.

The so-called guilt refers to his own martial arts strength. There is nothing to say about this. Since Meng Zhao truly awakened the Purple Yuan Dragon Body, his path of cultivation has been smooth. He himself is also very diligent, so there is no need to worry.

In addition, it refers to the strength that Meng Zhao has at his disposal, including his masters, his own wealth, resources, connections, etc. It is a comprehensive consideration of strength.

If a large tomb can be unearthed, it will be of great benefit to him. At least he can completely stabilize his current strength in a very short period of time, and at the same time have the confidence to attack again.

Therefore, Meng Zhao was completely contented. Apart from collecting information about Song Zhiwen and developing his power step by step, he was as honest as a quail.

However, the world is not centered on individual will.

The Meng family, Meng Zhao, and even the Xun family and the Wu family were nothing more than a drop in the ocean in the huge Lingwu City.

Jianghu is a big dyeing vat, and martial arts is at the cusp of the storm. There are many thrilling events, and there is no shortage of people who stir up troubles.

When Meng Zhao was hiding, Lingwu City was still in turmoil, and even became more and more agitated.

First, two small forces in the inner city fought fiercely for a piece of territory. The two sides started a firefight. More than 300 gang members were killed and injured. However, due to an accident, a large fire was caused, which directly burned the inner city. The vitality of a small half of the downtown street was seriously damaged, the buildings were damaged, and the goods were turned into coke. The direct and indirect losses could be as huge as 150,000 taels, and some innocent people were even implicated in being burned to death. The compensation alone was a huge expense.

This incident made Prince Yanping of the City Lord's Palace, who had not heard of political affairs for a long time, furious. He left the palace and directly ordered the two leaders of the small forces who did not know their importance to be killed. Their heads were hung at the entrance of the downtown street to appease the people who had suffered huge losses. Losses and traumatized business people.

In addition, the Prince of Yanping County also actively encouraged people from aristocratic families in the city to donate to the fire.

Meng Zhao also received a hint from the city lord's palace. He had no choice but to make a donation of five thousand taels of snowflake silver according to the number hinted by the city lord.

Meng Zhao had to spend this money.

First, he wanted to express his position. Since he came to Lingwu City, he was a member of Lingwu City. If something happened, he would not stand idly by. This was a sense of the overall situation.

Second, Yang just walked out of the city lord's prison after losing money and avoiding disaster. He had to express his gratitude. Furthermore, he also needed to maintain the relationship with Beitang Ang. It was just a cost-effective way to spend some money.

You know, some people can't find channels to spend money. This is the gap between status and status.

Later, Meng Zhao learned that Beitang Ang, Prince of Yanping County, had received a total of 230,000 taels of silver donations from various forces, of which 130,000 taels were used to make up for the direct and indirect losses caused by the fire in the downtown area.

The remaining one hundred thousand taels were all stuffed into Beitangang's pocket, which was considered a small gain.

In fact, similar things have happened many times in the past few years, and they are part of the established rules.

Meng Zhao didn't have much bad feelings, but agreed with Beitangang's actions.

Calculating the loss of 150,000 taels, he took out a subsidy of 130,000 taels, and he was greedy for 100,000 taels. Moreover, he was from a royal family, and the prince of the county was not an ordinary court official. He was already very conscientious and easy to attack.

Some high-ranking cannibals took so much, but probably less than 10% of it was distributed, and they didn’t even think about buying reputation. Wouldn’t it be nice to live freely and enjoy yourself with so much money?

What benefits can be gained by giving it to those who are unlucky?

Similar actions are a very common idea in this world that is slightly more barbaric and rough compared to the harmonious civilization of the previous life. It was created in a special world and a special environment.

Out of curiosity, Meng Zhao secretly went to the families that had suffered the disaster and quietly asked some people for their opinions. As expected, these people were very grateful to Beitang Ang.

Those who really suffered some losses were actually these big forces in the city.

But if you think about it carefully, the losses are actually very limited.

These 230,000 taels were not paid by one family, but by various families in the city who discussed it together. Some may even only need to pay a few thousand taels, which is nothing at all to people of this level.

Perhaps, this is also the brilliance of Beitang Ang, the Prince of Yanping County.

Although everyone has opinions, they are not very big, and they have a clear purpose of asking for charity, and they are not robbing them, so they have to admit it no matter what.

Meng Zhao himself spent the money very willingly.
