The external affairs manager, Manager Wang, was pot-bellied, with a greasy face and a mercenary look. He tried to get close to several clerks as he walked.

On the contrary, Yu Yuan, the housekeeping manager who seldom appears in public, has a calm expression, a bright gaze, and bulging temples. It is obvious that he has excellent kung fu skills.

The two managers of the Wang's house, Manager Wang is a family slave for three generations. He was originally a tenant in the outer courtyard. He has been valued by the master step by step. Now he is in charge of the purchasing, cashiering, and staff increase and decrease of the Wang's house.

Yu Yuan is a relative of the eldest lady of the Wang family. She came as a dowry with the lady and rarely has to deal with the affairs of the mansion.

Most of the time, he closely protects the young lady and several younger relatives of the Wang family, and also serves as the coach of the Wang residence's security guards.

"My Lords, these are the ones who left the house today, please take a look."

"Don't worry, my lords! My palace is heavily guarded, not a drop of water can get in, how could that villain sneak into the palace?"

"Besides! If that villain really sneaked into the mansion and killed someone, his body would have been found long ago. Why would he wait until today?"

Butler Wang kept laughing.

The expressions of the several clerks remained unchanged, but their eyes were looking at Yu Yuan behind them.

"What do you think, everyone?"

A square-looking, righteous man asked.

Several other clerks also perked up a bit.

Seeing the reaction of the Dianlisi, Manager Wang’s smile could no longer be suppressed. He looked at Yu Yuan hatefully, but said no more.

Yu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know where Lu Zhangke got that magic book from. His cultivation has skyrocketed. I'm afraid he is about to enter the realm of enlightenment and insight.

If he is within a hundred feet of me, I will definitely notice him, but once he exceeds this distance, it will be difficult.

However, if Lu Zhangke doesn't attack, it's fine. Once he attacks, he will definitely kill someone. His magic skills are tainted, so his Yin demonic energy will more or less remain. You can tell whether it is true or not at a glance."

Several clerks nodded in agreement.

"I'm sorry for the offense." said the righteous man just now.

"Nephew Hou, please do as you say." Yu Yuan nodded calmly.

Dianlisi, Yu Yuan and others were talking among themselves, leaving Li Qinglin and other tenants aside.

But everyone is used to it.

Why should the strong care about the dignity of the weak?

The rare kindness comes only from the arbitrary restraint of the heart.

"Everyone, I'm sorry."

The clerk surnamed Hou walked up to Li Qinglin and the others and bowed slightly.

Before Li Qinglin could react, this person's temperament... suddenly changed drastically! His eyes were deep and sharp, and between his pupils, there was a torch-like divine intent.

The body of only eight feet tall was like a towering mountain rising from the ground! The huge sense of oppression made everyone feel like they were falling into an abyss, and their bodies were instantly soaked with cold sweat.

My muscles and bones were howling, my blood was frozen, and my vision was pale...

Li Qinglin was shocked.

Is this the warrior of this world? Mastering such extraordinary power!

With just a glance, he could put a common person to death! And this was just a warrior, what about the legendary immortal cultivator?

“Quack!!”

The silent sound of toads suddenly rang out.

Li Qinglin's heart suddenly beat violently, and he seemed to be able to break free from this terrifying mental pressure.

After a few breaths, "Ah!"

"Just now, what happened to me just now?"

"Well, that's scary... I think I saw that I was too breast-feeding..."

In the blink of an eye, the huge pressure just now disappeared like an illusion.

The chill breeze blowing through the tree-lined avenue brought everyone back to reality.

One by one, they collapsed to the ground like mud, gasping for breath.

The guards on the side were also silent, their eyes fixed on the tip of their noses.

The clerk surnamed Hou looked at Li Qinglin deeply, then turned and left.

"It's not here. Please lead the way. I heard that the palace is known as the Ten Pavilions and Nine Courtyards. I'd like to take this opportunity to take a look around the palace."

"Haha, please." Yu Yuan chuckled.

"Boss, have you found anything?"

A man with narrow eyes and a somewhat cold expression noticed the strange behavior of the clerk surnamed Hou.

The clerk surnamed Hou did not change his expression and shook his head, saying, "Nothing, I just seem to have found something interesting. But it has nothing to do with the arrest, so don't make things complicated."

The man nodded silently, turned his head and glanced at Li Qinglin and others. His eyes changed, and it was unknown what he thought of, and he immediately followed.

…

Wangfeng County has a vast area and is shaped like a "U" character.

It is divided into the inner city, outer city and shantytowns built relying on the outer city.

If you want to walk from the inner city back to the shantytowns, it would take an ordinary person several days.

In the carriage leaving the outer city, Donkey Face was a little restless, his mind full of the dashing and heroic appearance of the Dianlisi just now.

It was also because he was carefree. After the initial shock, he fell into excitement and envy.

"That's a warrior, so impressive...Brother Lin, I've decided, I want to practice martial arts too!"

"Practicing martial arts requires hard work and money."

Li Qinglin was still thinking about the strange behavior of the heart toad just now, and replied casually at this moment.

The donkey's face was full of cruelty.

Li Qinglin looked up in surprise. He didn't expect that Donkey Face had this awareness.

Donkey Face is an orphan. His mother died in childbirth and his father is a drunkard.

Four years ago, his father sold him to Wang's house as a slave, and used all the money he earned to buy alcohol. As a result, he was targeted by the underground gang in the shantytown, and eventually lost both his life and his money.

But it was okay, as a shabby room and a land deed were left to Donkey Face.

"Cuicui is not young anymore. If she really waits until she is old and ugly, the Wang family will forcefully dismiss her!"

"I must practice martial arts and become a warrior so that I can protect her!"

Donkey Face said in a firm tone.

Time passes and traffic continues.

After several hours, the carriage drove out of the inner city.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Crash, it was like an ink painting suddenly falling into a frying pan.

It is bustling, lively and noisy.

There are taverns on both sides of the street, crowded with people, and the cries of various vendors can be heard one after another.

"It's a good deal, one cent." The groom pulled the reins.

It is not easy to live in a wealthy house. Once you leave the palace, you will find money everywhere.

After paying the fare, Li Qinglin and Donkey Face said goodbye to the other tenants.

Although Li Qinglin and Donkey Face were going the same way, Donkey Face had made up his mind to sell the house, so he needed to hurry.

According to the laws of the country, when buying and selling real estate, one needs to find a guarantor to ensure the fairness of the transaction, and also needs to pay stamp duty, transfer ownership, and other processes.

So Donkey Face takes the lead.

Li Qinglin touched the purse that he kept close to his body, bought some candies and cakes at the pastry shop, and bought a pair of diabolos, one large and one small, from a street vendor.

After thinking about it again, he walked into the shop and carefully selected a pair of boots that were waterproof on the outside and had a light furry inside.

Black, stain-resistant.

In this way, almost half of the three months' allowance was spent.

Li Qinglin's expression seemed to have shrunken along with his wallet.

He walked hurriedly towards the shantytown.

…

The originally wide and clean streets gradually became narrow and crowded.

The yamen runners patrolling the streets whipped the animals that defecated randomly. Many old farmers smoked opium and gathered on the streets waiting for work.

The dark alley was muddy and messy, and there seemed to be a wild dog eating something, making grunting sounds.

I vaguely felt that some eyes were lingering on me.

Li Qinglin hugged the gifts he bought for his family tightly to his chest.

Through the streets.

The street in front of me is much cleaner and more lively.

Stalls on both sides were selling colorful fabrics of various colors.

Many women were walking around.

The air smelled of dye.

This is the famous "Flower Cloth Street" in the shantytown, which has always been famous for producing satin, linen and coarse cloth.

Of course, brocade, satin and silk, which require more rare materials and craftsmanship, are not produced in Huabu Street.

Even if they dare to produce it, no one dares to harvest it.

"Captain, the satin silk dyed by Liu Qiaolian's family is missing a few processes, so the quality is a little bit worse."

"Well... then I'll buy them at half price, pack them into sacks, and send them to the Lulu Gang."

"Today's traffic is good, and all the stalls have been rented out. Thanks to the market manager, the market is booming!"

"Haha, Ah Xi, Ah Xi, you are the sweetest talker in this area! Go get a piece of satin later and make some new clothes for your lovers."

"Thank you, Captain! Thank you, Captain! By the way, Captain, that widow Li looked very unlucky. I was afraid that she would offend the guests, so I drove her to the corner.

"I have told Widow Li many times that she should sell the cloth to us, but she just refuses to do so and insists on making more money! She is really obsessed with money!"

"Widow Li... Oh, you mean the Widow Li whose husband died and whose eldest son became a slave?

Haha, that's enough, I'll just do it, and go to the corner to sell cloth, so that no one will poke me in the back and say I'm bullying a widow!"

The tea is hot, with gurgling steam rising.

The head of Huabu Street was sitting lazily in front of an octagonal table with his subordinate Ah Xi, drinking tea and giving advice.

The shantytowns have streets of all sizes and complex traffic.

But snakes have their ways, and rats have their ways.

The government set up a military patrol station every 300 steps in every alley. In addition to the military patrol stations, the government would also employ local elders with good reputation and reputation as "collector leaders".

From a specific family with a few members to the entire neighborhood’s livelihood and livelihood, everyone has considerable rights.

At this moment, they did not notice that a dusty young man, carrying a lot of bags, passed by them.

When the young man heard the name "Widow Li", he slowed down his pace a little and then blended into the crowd.
