"Because they heard that you like to drink tea, so they thought of following your fancy."
"Then you can't risk the lives of the villagers. Tell him not to do this again. If this happens again, there is no need for him to come to see me again...
Hmm? Where are the others?"
"Still standing outside, refusing to come in."
"Is there something wrong with him?"
Bai Yi immediately understood that giving such an expensive gift might be asking for something big.
"Indeed, it's mainly about Black Village."
As he spoke, he briefly explained the situation within Black Village, and then said:
"He felt very embarrassed, so he didn't dare to come to see you."
"Don't you worry about the lack of wealth but the inequality? It is indeed human nature."
Bai Yi rubbed his eyes and just said:
"Let him come in and I'll talk to him."
"yes."
Soon, the old sheep came in, following old John.
As soon as he stepped into the room, Bai Yi's expression suddenly changed.
"Bang!!!!"
I saw him slamming the table angrily, and then threw the box of snow tea at Lao Yang.
The box hit the old sheep's horn and fell to the ground. The tea leaves were scattered all over the floor.
The two brothers were both confused by the scene. When they looked at Bai Yi again, they saw that his whole face was green, and he looked like he was about to eat someone.
He pointed at the old sheep and cursed angrily:
"Old Yang!!! Who the hell told you to mobilize the villagers to pick tea in the mountains?!!!"
Has Lao Yang ever seen such a battle? In his impression, Bai Yi has always had a good temper.
Now he was suddenly so angry that he panicked and fell to his knees on the ground.
"City, city lord, I..."
"City Lord, this matter has something to do with Lao Yang..."
Old John tried to intercede.
"Shut up!!!! I'm talking to him."
However, Bai Yi shouted back and was immediately slapped back.
Old John was stunned for a moment. Although he was very puzzled, he did not answer the question again.
Bai Yi stared at Lao Yang and said:
"Old Yang, let me ask you, who am I?"
"You, you are..."
"explain!!!!"
"You, you are the Death Doctor, the Lord of the White City, and the chief high priest of Luya, the God of Life."
"Let me ask you again, what is the name of the sect I believe in?"
"Hui, back to the city lord, it's... it's the [Great Life Sect]..."
"Since you know that it is the Great Life Cult, you should know what this priest hates the most.
I am the chief high priest of the Great Life Sect.
Naturally, respecting life and cherishing life... are the chief purpose and life creed of my religion.
How precious is life? It’s fine if others don’t know. As the head of a village, what’s the point of not knowing?
But what about you?
What have you done?
In order to please me, he actually asked the villagers to go to the mountain to pick tea, and because of this, so many believers died in vain.
You knew that I was a priest of the [Great Life Cult], but you gave me a gift stained with the blood of several people?
Let me ask you, what is your intention? Is it because you want to disgust me?"
Bai Yi looked like he was eating people in anger, which frightened the old sheep.
His whole body began to shake like chaff, and his voice trembled as he said:
"City Lord, I, I don't mean that..."
Lao Yang really didn't think about this. He just felt that it was not good to be empty-handed. Hearing that Bai Yi liked to drink tea, he could only use this method to please Bai Yi.
After all, Black Village can't offer any other treasures besides this.
"I, I really didn't mean that...Besides, besides...this was not organized by me...it was a spontaneous idea of the villagers.
I just, I just collected them and sent them..."
This is indeed the case. The reason why Lao Yang became the village chief is because he took the people in the village seriously and did not do anything that did not take human life seriously.
But in the final analysis, people did die in order to collect these tea leaves. As the village chief, he did not guide the villagers properly from the beginning, but turned a blind eye, but he did have some responsibility.
So Lao Yang could only keep kowtowing and said:
"Please, please City Lord, give me another chance. When I go back this time, I will definitely put things in order and never let this kind of tragedy happen again..."
Bai Yi told him to be sincere, and his face gradually became better.
He just sat back in his chair:
"call……"
He sighed helplessly and said softly:
"Get up."
"Thank you, thank you City Lord."
But the latter was still as scared as a bird, panicking to death.
Faced with such an old sheep, Bai Yiyi said:
"How precious is life? Don't let anyone die because of such meaningless things. Luya will be sad."
"Yes, I understand, I understand..."
"Forget it this time. I didn't mean to miss you. I won't let you off lightly next time."
"Thank you, thank you City Lord."
Bai Yi took out a small bag of gold coins from the storage world, about two hundred coins.
“Distribute this money to the family of the deceased as burial expenses, and if there is any leftover, use it as funds for your village affairs department.
In addition, after returning this time, I must emphasize that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future.
Otherwise, don’t blame me for getting angry once you find out.”
"Yes, I remember, remember."
He stepped forward carefully, picked up the bag of gold coins and put it into his pocket.
He kept his head down from beginning to end, not daring to look at Bai Yi.
After seeing that it was almost done, Bai Yi started to get to the point:
"Uncle John has already told me about the internal situation in Black Village. Let me declare that I have no prejudice against your village and I have no intention of ignoring it.
After all, I am the high priest of the God of Life, and I should bring blessings to my followers.
However, everything must be done first and then later.
I arrived in Baicheng first, so naturally I had to solve the living problems of the people in Baicheng first.
And it costs a lot of money. Just the sources of money cost me a lot of time.
Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, it's clear. The city lord has tried his best. Yes, it's our fault. We judge the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart..."
"It's not that you're wrong, it's just that things are done on a first-come, first-served basis and it's not your turn yet."
"Ming, understand."
"Now that you're here, it saves me the trouble of looking for you again and giving your village a mission."
"You, you said..."
"Aren't there many glacial lakes near your village?"
"Yes."
"Let people go and explore the conditions of the nearby lakes. You don't need to be too clear, just have a rough idea.
Mainly investigate the size, geographical location, and fish production.”
Lao Yang was obviously startled when he heard the words "fish production volume". He seemed to have vaguely guessed something, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and said:
"Ming, I understand."
"Go back and let me know the results as soon as possible."
"Yes, I am resigning..."
After saying that, he left quickly as if running away.
On the way back, Lao Yang's heart was still beating hard.
There is no way, who would have thought that a city lord who is usually so kind would be so angry...
