Chapter 179

Sure enough, he is a good official who thinks about the people. He is already sick like this, and he still has to think about the people in the city.

And of my two sons, the eldest is too reckless, and the second is too rich.

The smallest remaining one is not worth the trouble, the old city lord can only helplessly.

But Zhao Zhilan didn't have a good impression of this old city lord because he had too many aunts.

And one of them was young enough to be his daughter.

A while later, Zhao Zhilan checked the toxin on the old city lord's body, and it turned out to be snake poison grass!
She went directly back to the inn and told Young Xie the result.

"If it's really a poisonous snake weed, then in this city, the only person who can poison the old city lord is his own son, the Second Young Master..."

Just as Young Xi finished speaking, Bai Yue brought back a piece of news.

In the shop, the second young master took part of the snake poisonous grass a month ago.

"Okay, there's no need to investigate the rest of the matter."

"Bring this evidence to the old city owner and let him decide for himself."

For the rest, Nian Youxi felt that there was no need for her to take part in it anymore. After all, it was someone else's housework. As for why the old city lord married so many aunts, it had nothing to do with her.

Fundamentally speaking, the city lord is doing his best to the people in the city.

"Let's use this evidence to negotiate a deal with the old city lord."

With a smile on the corners of Nian Youxi's lips, she had already figured out in her heart how to do this business to maximize her profits.

In other words, how can you get what you want without spending a penny.

The next day, a group of people went directly to the Santo's Mansion and presented the evidence in front of the old Santo.

who knew...

"I also guessed what you said. I am old and should have abdicated long ago. It is understandable for young people to wait."

"But he is my son after all. Strictly speaking, this is also our housework, so I won't bother you to do it."

Nian Youxi chuckled: "As the saying goes, ginger is still old and hot. I didn't expect you to know this."

"However, since you want to keep your son, there is nothing wrong with it. Outsiders like us will definitely not intervene, let alone you have the final say on the entire Crescent Moon City."

"But... since you have the means to get those precious herbs, why don't we talk about business."

I have no interest in meddling in other people's housework, I just need to find out the truth. As for how the old city lord can recover his health, it's very simple, the antidote is in the hands of the second young master.

The old city lord looked at the few people and nodded: "Just say what you want, as long as I can do it, but I only have one condition, that is, I hope you don't say anything about this matter."

"Deal." Nianyouxi nodded.

The purpose of coming here by myself is nothing more than for the Red Lingcao and Pearl Flower.

As for these housework, it is just a matter of blending in. Really, when the final decision is made, it still has to be someone else's. The parents do it themselves, and it is his business to decide whether to punish their son.

"I want to know, how did the city lord get these herbs?"

The old city owner said: "There are some people in the city who are used by me. Every once in a while, they will go up the mountain to pick some precious herbs that grow in dangerous areas. These herbs can not only save people, but also harm people."

"After they pick these herbs, they will hand them over to me for processing, and I will also ask my subordinates to give these herbs to people in several other cities, and the money earned will be shared equally with these people."

"So if you guys want these herbs, just wait a few days and I'll let someone go up the mountain to pick them up."

Young and young Xi's eyes brightened: "That's naturally good, but I want more red grass and pearl flowers."

"Yes." The old city lord nodded: "I will pay this reward, and it will be regarded as the hard work of these few days..."

"I have the silver." Youdao is a gentleman who loves money to get it. Although Youdao said that he didn't want free things, he also knew that these herbs were really picked and brought back. It is not a small sum.

She didn't want to owe the old city lord a favor.

Now that the deal has been negotiated, there is no need to stay here, and the old city owner can handle the rest.

But Lingjun and Zhao Zhilan were still unoccupied, so Zhao Zhilan spoke first.

"City Lord, since you are such a selfless and considerate person, why did you marry so many aunts?"

The city owner was taken aback, probably because he didn't expect them to ask such a question.

But he still explained: "Second Aunt is not my person, she is pregnant with the criminal minister's child, if I don't keep her in the mansion, it will be one dead body and two lives."

"Third aunt was forced by the wicked, and she found out she was pregnant several months later, and she couldn't be aborted. If I didn't keep her, then in this world, at her age, she might be drowned in a mouthful of spit. "

Everyone was astonished, it turned out that... the old city lord was the son of the young master!
Young and young Xi's eyes darkened slightly: "Who else knows about this?"

The old city lord refused to say, but the young Xi guessed the answer.

If I guessed correctly, the second young master also knew about this matter. It is precisely because he knew that he was not the old city lord's own child, and that he might not be qualified to inherit the new city lord's position in the future, so he gave up on the old city lord. black hand!
Because only if the old city lord dies sooner can he inherit this position!
She glanced back at the pale old city lord and sighed silently.

What should I say?Is this person a good guy or a bad guy?
After leaving the city lord's mansion, just as Xiaoyouxi returned to the inn, he saw an unexpected guest.

Little Taoist Cang Yue stood at the door of the inn with his arms folded, obviously waiting for someone.

"I said why my eyelids kept twitching after waking up this morning, it turned out to be such a thing!" Lingjun rolled her eyes at little Taoist Cang Yue, she naturally didn't have a good look at the members of the Earth Spirit Sect.

Zhao Zhilan who was behind said directly, "Should I find a brazier to step over?"

Little Taoist Cang Yue: No need!

Young and young Xi pursed her thin lips and snorted softly, "Xiao Daoist, are you waiting for us?"

"Yes." Little Taoist Priest Cang Yue didn't make any detours, he looked directly at Nian Youxi and said, "Let's try again!"

"Who has time to play around with an ignorant child like you?" Lingjun's tone was displeased.

Zhao Zhilan also directly stood in front of Young Xi: "Our young lady has a high status, but in fact, you can do it if you say you want to do it?"

In her eyes, Nianyouxi is the suzerain of Xuantianzong, her status is supreme!

"Are you scared?" Little Taoist Priest Cang Yue decided to use the aggressive method.
