Several boys rode horses and ran a few hundred meters, and met Cuiliu and others who also came to explore the road.
The fellow villagers burst into tears when they saw the fellow villagers.
"Sister Cuiliu!"
"Xiao Zhuang!"
"You are really back!"
"Yes! The gang leader is back, don't be a gang!" Cuiliu said with a smile.
"I understand! We will go back and report to the Lord."
Wang Hongcheng was very excited when he heard the visitor's report that he had returned full of money.
I thought to myself that the leader of the gang was really powerful. He went out for a trip and suddenly transformed into the fifth lady of Zhongli Mansion. Now he is back. In name he is suppressing bandits, but in fact he is letting the tiger go back to the mountains.
No...why is the gang leader a tiger?
Yuyao must have been even happier when she heard the good news.
Wang Hongcheng felt even happier when he thought that Yuyao was pregnant.
Fu Manman tried his best to control the corners of his mouth that wanted to curl up, and looked at the figures appearing in front of him with an indifferent expression.
Family, I'm back!
Hahaha……
I also brought back a large amount of labor.
Now that she is back, she will continue to build her own new city.
Fu Manman's face is cold, but his heart is hot.
The team finally reached the first archway in Shili Town.
Fu Manman, wearing a bright pomegranate red dress, got off the carriage and looked at everyone in Shili Town with powerful eyes.
Wang Hongcheng led the town officials and prominent people to greet him respectfully: "Wang Hongcheng from a thousand households in Shili Town, together with everyone, welcomes the fifth lady to take over Shili Town."
Fu Manman walked up to Wang Hongcheng and said with an air of dignity: "Are you Wang Qianhu?"
"Yes!" Wang Qianhu didn't dare to raise his head to look at Fu Manman.
It's too familiar, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to control it and won't be able to continue acting.
"Well, I'm tired. Take me to the hotel you prepared to rest, and also settle these refugees." Fu Manman said to Wang Hongcheng.
Wang Hongcheng nodded in agreement, and then said to the people around him: "You still don't listen to the lady's instructions."
After a while, Fu Manman got on the carriage again. Someone was leading the way, and the carriage drove slowly through the streets of Shili Town.
Fu Manman looked through the window to both sides of the street.
The changes here are really big, especially the ground of this street. When was the cement road paved? Trees, flower beds, and trash cans were planted on both sides of the street.
This place is simply a replica of Heifeng Village!
There are also shops selling cloth, medicinal materials, furniture, and general merchandise.
Because the whole town was under lockdown today, the roads were blocked and the streets were lined with curious people.
Think about it, at the beginning of the year, these common people were still wearing tatters, but now they are all wearing bright and beautiful clothes.
Some women wore elaborate hairpins, their faces were powdered, and their mouths were smeared with red lipstick.
This change is really huge.
Chu Chengfeng looked at this Shili Town, his brows furrowed, and he was surprised in his heart.
This...is the most remote and poor Shili Town in Nanling?
That poor town whose annual tax revenue is less than one thousand taels and needs to ask for disaster relief food every year?
It doesn’t look like it!
Look at this street, it's so clean, and there are a lot of shops here. Although they are closed today, you can see that the shop signs are very new.
What surprised him even more was that the people here were all well-dressed, and none of them looked like the poor people he had seen in other streets in Zhongli City, with sallow faces and thin eyes.
No matter how he looked at it, Chu Chengfeng felt as if he had arrived not in a poor town, but in a prosperous town.
"Fifth Miss, this is the courtyard specially prepared for you." Wang Hongcheng received the money from the carriage.
Fu Manman got off the carriage and saw the courtyard in front of him.
It was built quite grandly. She looked around and saw that this place used to be a wasteland. Unexpectedly, in just half a year, so many houses were built here and such a grand courtyard was built.
It seems that in the past six months, the people of Shili Town have made a fortune relying on Heifeng Village!
The refugees who came with him were also stunned, and each of them felt that their eyes were not enough.
The streets are so clean, there are so many shops here, and the people here are so luxuriously dressed.
Especially Dongfang Wenqing, who was hiding in the team, his eyes widened in shock.
As an official of Tiansheng, he knew the situation of Shili Town very well, and no one wanted to be the county magistrate in this place.
It's such a poor place that the county magistrate can't even get enough to eat when he comes here.
One of his former colleagues was sent to Shili Town for a year, looking for people to send him money and connections, and begging people to transfer him away.
This place looks very prosperous, so why do my colleagues want to leave?
Today there is no county magistrate in Shili Town because no one wants to come.
There are only a few thousand households that Zhongli has sealed for himself.
The refugees were taken into a base surrounded by wooden walls.
Everyone is a little worried, afraid that there might not be a good place inside the wall.
But when everyone went in, they found that there were rows of houses inside. The houses were so well built that they seemed to have been built recently.
At this time, a group of people came and began to manage these refugees.
"Everyone, please line up, register first, and then arrange accommodation." Someone waved and shouted.
The people making registration arrangements here today are all people transferred from Heifeng Village.
They are very experienced in arranging such things.
Yuyao told Lu Siniang early in the morning that the gang leader was back and asked her to send someone over to receive the refugees brought back by the gang leader.
Lu Siniang selected some capable team members from the team and came over. These people were all proficient in Tiansheng characters.
When Qiaoer heard that the gang leader was back, he disguised himself and came over with the additional team members.
"Have you met the gang leader?" Qiaoer asked the others.
Others shook their heads and didn't see it.
"Please register, I will go to the other courtyard to take a look later." Qiaoer warned the others.
"Sister Qiao'er, I want to go with you too." Following Qiao'er was her assistant Xiaochun.
She used to serve the gang leader with Qiaoer. She heard that the gang leader was back and wanted to see him.
"I can go alone, you wait here." Qiaoer was afraid that if there were too many people, he would be exposed.
Fu Manman entered the other courtyard, looked at the exquisite and new courtyard, and thought, it couldn't be the courtyard built specially for her by Wang Hongcheng.
"Help... come here, help Fifth Miss move all the luggage in." Wang Hongcheng shouted to the servant.
He almost called the gang leader just now and almost betrayed the gang.
Fu Manman entered the inner courtyard, sat down on a chair in the flower hall, and said to Wang Hongcheng, who had been following him: "They say Shili Town is poor, but I don't think it is what the rumors say."
Wang Hongcheng said with a smile: "Back to Fifth Miss, this is not because you are here, we are here to give you a good impression."
…
Chu Chengfeng on the side instantly understood that this was what happened. As expected, all officials in the world were equally hypocritical.
"Wang Qianhu, how much money have you collected to welcome the fifth lady?" Chu Chengfeng said sharply.
Wang Hongcheng looked at Chu Chengfeng and wondered who this guy was.
With such a face, he must be someone sent by the Zhongli family.
