Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 170: Is there still a jade disc?
It was noon, and all the restaurants and hotels in Sandao City were bustling with activity, with a visibly increased business compared to a few months ago.

Places like restaurants and hotels reflect one issue the most: money!
I would only go to a restaurant if I had enough money in my pocket, otherwise I would just eat at a roadside stall, or simply make a pancake at home and fill a bottle of water to get me through the day.

Although these two months are not long, the people in Sandai City can truly feel that their lives are getting better rapidly.

Why? Because there are more people entering and leaving Sandao City!
Why are there so many people on the road? Because it’s safer!

Now that the roads are safe, it is easier for goods to come in and out, and businesses can reduce costs and increase efficiency, making money, which attracts more people to come. The original specialties of the three cities all have more markets.

As the number of people increased, all the needs for eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping came together, and as a result, all industries in the three cities were gradually developed.

Even the vendors selling oil-fried fruits are saying that business has been getting better and better in the past two months.

I sigh that the dynasty has indeed done great deeds in suppressing bandits and exterminating demons!
As for the bloody case in Wangzhuang, I heard that the immortals all said that it was done by an evil dog passing by. This was an unprovoked disaster and the government could not be blamed. Even the people who still remember this incident may only be some relatives involved in it in a short time.

Fumanlou.

In the room on the third floor, Yang Qian and his younger brother Yang Xun were already waiting inside, drinking tea.

"Brother, who is the other party? Why do you have to wait like this?" Yang Xun was sitting on the side. He was not in a hurry, but he was very curious about who his eldest brother brought him to meet today.

After more than a month, Yang Xun knew very well how powerful his elder brother was in the Three Cities.

Officially, the eldest brother is the best master in Sandao City, the best constable, and also the little master of Wulei Palace!

Behind the scenes, the head of places like Masheng Lane where filth and dirt are hidden is always pushed up by the big brother. If there is any problem, you don't even need to ask for help, these guys in the gutter will take the initiative to help you settle it.

To be honest, there is no problem at all in walking around the three cities.

Now my eldest brother actually came to wait for someone half an hour in advance. Who is he waiting for?

In Sandao City, apart from the yamen master Cui Mingsheng, Yang Xun felt that even the chief constable Wang Hai was not worthy of such courtesy from his eldest brother.

Could it be someone from the state government? Yang Xun was very curious.

Yang Qian put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I told you before that the person who will be waiting is not ordinary. You should listen more and talk less."

"Brother, you brought me here, you should at least tell me where the other party is from, right?"

Yang Qian smiled and said, "Do you believe me if I say that the other party is from the Five Thunder Palace?"

"Ah?! People from the Immortal Sect?!" Yang Xun jumped up from his chair, his face full of horror and excitement.

Yang Xun, who grew up listening to the legendary myths of the Immortal Sect, has an immense yearning for it and always has an incomparable curiosity and admiration for it.

"It shouldn't be that serious, right? People from the Immortal Sect are also human beings. They also need to eat, sleep and shit. How can I trust you with the things that come next if you're so jumpy?" Yang Qian frowned.

Yang Xun quickly calmed down after hearing this.

But before Yang Xun could ask more questions, the door of the wing room was pushed open and a middle-aged fat man with an ordinary face came in. Judging from his attire, he should be a businessman and was quite wealthy.

"Oh my! Master Yang, you're here so early? You're embarrassing me, Fatty Xu!" As soon as the fat man spoke, his accent was not that of a native of Sandacheng, but rather the Mandarin of Jizhou Prefecture. While Yang Xun was thinking this in his mind, he kept in mind Yang Qian's words, shut up, listen more and watch more.

However, Yang Xun did not find any trace of an immortal in this Fatty Xu. Instead, he looked very much like a fat sheep in the market.

Yang Qian smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, then pointed at Yang Xun beside him and said, "This is my brother Yang Xun. If I am no longer in Sandao City, he will take over the business personally. He is smart and has a good mouth. Shopkeeper Xu can rest assured."

Yang Xun also quickly stood up and bowed.

The fat man also introduced himself and said his name was Xu Jingjiang. He was a cloth merchant.

However, Yang Xun had never heard of the "Xu's Cloth Brand" mentioned.

"The Second Master of the Yang Family is also a handsome man! He will definitely be no worse than you, Master Yang, in the future! Your mother is so lucky!"

After some greetings, Fatty Xu took out a jade plate from his arms and placed it on the table.

Yang Qian blinked in surprise at this scene.

As agreed before, Feng Qingyi will give corresponding compensation after the last batch of spirit stones are returned.

Usually it is gold tablets. If you don't want gold tablets, you can use pills to pay. If you choose the latter, you will be rewarded only after accumulating multiple transactions.

Yang Qian chose the latter and used elixirs to pay for it.

So this meeting was mainly to introduce Yang Xun to Xu Jingjiang, the informant outside the Five Thunder Palace. But I didn't expect the other party to take out a jade disc. What does this mean?
Seeing Yang Qian looking at him in confusion, Xu Jingjiang smiled and said, "This is what Steward Feng specifically told me. He said that Master Yang, you are taking a big risk and you are a little short of elixirs, so I am bringing a set of skills as a bonus.

Don't worry, Master Yang, this will not affect the subsequent transactions."

Yang Qian said with a smile: "No merit, no reward. Deacon Feng has such a big hand, even if it's given to me for free, I'm worried that I won't be able to hold on to it!"

"How could that be? This technique is originally a follow-up technique for the outer sect's registered disciples. Master Yang will get it sooner or later. It has nothing to do with it.

Hehe, to tell you the truth, Master Yang, I guess Deacon Feng is short of money, so he changed the way he gave you the jade disc."

"Oh? How come?"

"Deacon Feng is an alchemist himself. His skills are considered to be above average in the Five Thunder Palace, and are unique in the outer sect. But pills are consumed too quickly, and refining them is time-consuming and laborious, and there is no guarantee. If you are careless or unlucky, the whole furnace of pills will be wasted.

I guess Deacon Feng's alchemy was not going well recently, and too many were wasted. He also had to provide a portion of the quota to the sect, so he couldn't spare any extra for Master Yang. And generally, such a situation cannot be solved in a short time. If he is worried that he will owe Master Yang something next time, he might as well find another way to pay him in advance. That's why the jade disc came into being.

Hehe, if Master Yang really doesn't want it, that's fine. I'll take it back and explain it to Deacon Feng. But Master Yang may have to wait a little longer for the next pill."

Yang Qian finally understood after hearing this. Although this explanation was reasonable, it was not very convincing. After all, Feng Qingyi did not look like such a careless person. He actually took out the subsequent methods of the Five Thunder Palace in advance as a reward. Wasn't he afraid that the news would leak out?

Or does Feng Qingyi have something else to rely on?
Of course, Yang Qian would not reject Feng Qingyi's "plan". After all, he had long been restricted from improving his cultivation due to the lack of a method. Now that the next stage of cultivation method was delivered to him, how could he refuse it?

"Then please ask Boss Xu to thank Deacon Feng for his kindness on my behalf!" As he said this, Yang Qian took the jade plate on the table into his arms.
