Chapter thirty one, it's over
They said they would leave tomorrow, but in fact they were delayed for more than half a month.
It was said that it was extremely lively on the day when the Fang family members who were sent to guard the border left, but Yang Zhao didn't dare to look at it for fear of being vengeful.
After those people left, she dared to turn on her cell phone to report to her family that she was safe.
When she got up the next day, she resigned from shopkeeper Xiang Rong.
Shopkeeper Rong didn't say anything. After all, she had expected this result. He allowed her to live in Shandefang before leaving and teach the two young apprentices more, which was considered as rent money.
This was a good intention, as I was afraid that she would be retaliated against if she went out to live.
Afterwards, City Lord Zheng counted the Fang family's property and sent someone to tell Yang Zhao to take over one-third of the Fang family's property.
She got up early that day, turned on the video on her phone, connected the power bank and put it in her schoolbag. After packing her things, she carried her schoolbag and went to say goodbye to shopkeeper Rong.
When Yang Zhao arrived, the Fang family was already very busy. It is said that the Lord of Laiyuan Prefecture hired three pawnshops, two dental shops and the scribes from the city lord's mansion, and it took more than ten days to evaluate the family property.
Priority will be given to the women and children of the Fang family, and the rest will be divided equally between the Rong family and Yunyangguan.
Lord Laiyuan Mansion sat in the hall and gave each of the Fang family's property lists to the Rong family and Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao took a look and put down the order.
"Master Fu, you can decide how to divide it. I'm new here and I haven't read all the words on it yet! I just want to trouble City Lord Zheng about something."
City Lord Zheng, who was drinking tea at the side, was stunned and said, "What else can trouble me?"
Yang Zhao: "City Lord, you may not know that I will leave Cangcheng with Master Shen in a few days to plan some property in other places to rebuild the moving formation. Of course, the Fang family's money cannot be taken away.
I would like to discuss with the city lord whether I can temporarily store it at your place."
Everyone present was shocked. Can such a large sum of money be safely entrusted to others?
"Yang Zhao, do you know how much money that is? We are unrelated, how dare you entrust it to me?"
Yang Zhao said sincerely: "Since City Lord Zheng rescued the watchman from Fang Shuli two months ago, there is no doubt about your character. However, this time I still have to trouble City Lord Zheng to help me.
I am very grateful."
City Lord Zheng and Lord Laiyuan Mansion looked at each other and both laughed.
"Okay, there's nothing I can't agree to. I'll make two copies of this property list later, one for you and one for the city lord's palace. When you come back to rebuild the moving formation, I'll guarantee you that these properties will be more than enough.
.”
Afterwards, he summoned the clerk in the palace to write a deed, followed by a property list. City Lord Zheng and Yang Zhao signed and sealed the list, and the list was instantly reduced to ashes.
After solving this important matter, Yang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, sat with him for a while, stood up and said goodbye to everyone.
When she came out, Shen Ruoyu was already waiting for her outside. Seeing Yang Zhao come out empty-handed, he asked her in surprise: "Did you really entrust all your property to City Lord Zheng?"
Yang Zhao: "Of course, I can still go back on what has been agreed upon?"
Shen Ruoyu burst out laughing.
"I didn't expect that today's little girls are so powerful?"
Yang Zhao looked depressed. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't take the money, why wouldn't she take it?
The Fang family was once the largest family in Cangcheng. The family's wealth was huge. Even one-third of it could probably cover Cangcheng's tax revenue for several years, or even be unable to stop it for several years.
The outflow of such a large amount of money to other cities is a major asset outflow, which no normal person would allow!
There is no right or wrong in this issue. As long as Yang Zhao is greedy, she will have no choice but to die. She will simply be generous and not take any points, forcing City Lord Zheng to make a written contract with her, and there will be fewer mobile formations built in the future. Unnecessary nonsense.
"I just hope City Lord Zheng hasn't resigned by then." Yang Zhao muttered.
Shen Ruoyu smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, the monk came to be the lord of a city just to accumulate incense. Today everyone knows that such a large sum of money is in his hands. When you come back, he will If nothing happens again, his reputation among the common people will surely rise."
Yang Zhao knew that practice required incense, but he didn't know that incense was so important.
"Why? Why do you want incense?"
Shen Ruoyu said with an enigmatic face: "You will know when your cultivation level is high. Why are you asking nonsense now? Let's go. While it's still early, let's leave the city quickly. We can't let the Fang family react." .”
Yang Zhao got on the beast cart and went straight to the east city gate with Shen Ruoyu. There was a wharf built there, and bustling merchants were busy here. The two of them boarded the boat they had booked and followed the river out of Cangcheng.
On the other side, City Lord Zheng, who had just returned to the City Lord's Mansion, was ordering people to count the property entrusted by Yang Zhao. City Lord Zheng's son stood beside him, looking at him hesitantly.
City Lord Zheng asked strangely: "What happened to you today? You are not allowed to speak every day, but you still keep arguing."
"Father, the child just doesn't understand."
City Lord Zheng: “What don’t you understand?”
His son summoned up the courage to ask: "More than two months ago, you offended the Fang family because of that watchman. A few days ago, you favored the people from Chi County and Shenzhou. Now the Fang family is in pieces. That Mr. Laiyuan Mansion has a history with the Fang family, so if you do this, there is no guarantee that he will not hate you in his heart."
Zheng Chengzhu raised his hand to greet his son into the room to talk.
City Lord Zheng asked him: "Will you let others touch your weapons?"
"Of course not. No one can touch my weapons except my parents."
"That's right, then do you know what weapons he wants as the lord of a city?"
His son was obviously stunned.
"Is it the seal of the city lord's palace?"
City Lord Zheng shook his head with a smile.
"The weapons of the lord of a city are the laws of the city! That night when Fang Shuli robbed people late at night, he was using my weapons. How could I spare him?"
“Is the law a weapon?”
"Of course it is, and it is a very useful weapon. If I want to govern a city, I naturally hope that everyone will act according to the law. The law naturally becomes my weapon. This is also my right. All those who break the law , are all invading my rights. Others like to kill chickens to scare monkeys, but I just want to do things that kill monkeys and respect chickens."
His son was anxious: "But father, aren't you afraid that the Lord of Laiyuan Prefecture will hate you?"
"Why does he hold a grudge against me? The Fang family, relying on their ancestors to have some connection with him, does some unflattering things in the name of Fu Jun every day. Fu Jun has already annoyed them."
"But wouldn't it be better if we have a good relationship with the Fang family?"
City Lord Zheng. "Do you think they are a big family after all, and your father, I am indeed a commoner."
"The son would never dare. The son admires his father's achievements."
"But you want to be a child of a wealthy family, right?" City Lord Zheng saw through his son's thoughts.
His son lowered his head in embarrassment.
