Chapter 54: City Lord Hu
Slap!
The prefect Chen was so angry that he threw the inkstone on the table to the ground.
Even the second daughter Chen Sidi, who was standing aside, quickly retreated silently. She knew very well that the failure to give birth to a son was the most unfair thing that fathers could not be mentioned.
"Uncle, calm down!"
Chen Sizhou also looked angry and cursed, "The old fox Hu Yanzhi is really too shady. Please rest assured, my nephew will draft a notice and post it, indicating that our prefect has nothing to do with this matter..."
However, the prefect Chen waved his hand with a very unhappy expression and said, "No need."
"Why? Could it be that what Hu Yanzhi said is? If we don't defend ourselves, the people in the city will really think this is the case." Chen Sizhou said unfairly.
But the prefect Chen suddenly sneered and said, "Then do you think it would be useful to send a notice to defend yourself? If it works, why did Hu Yanzhi pretend to be crazy and beg God for forgiveness..."
"Ah? Then... uncle, then how should we deal with it? We can't sit here and wait for death, right?"
Chen Sizhou, who is not yet experienced in the world, really feels very tired. He is so tired of being a human being. He will be even more tiring to fight with others if he is an official.
Especially during this period of time, following my uncle Chen Yonglian often needs to take three steps and judge others' behaviors and behaviors. We cannot just look at the surface, but also analyze the internal connections and possible motivations.
"How else can I deal with it? Let's go! Let's go with me and go to the front door of the mansion to apologize to the people!"
After that, Chen Yonglian also pulled off his bun and made his clothes ragged. He also used his hand to dip the ink that had been knocked over from the ground and wiped it on his face a few times.
"Uncle, what are you doing? Never! You are the prefect of Jinling City personally appointed by the monarch. How can you do this to apologize to the common people? Besides, I... what are we guilty?"
At this moment, Chen Sizhou felt particularly frustrated.
After all, since childhood, this clan uncle who passed the Jinshi exam with his own strength and became the prefect of one of the prefects was Chen Sizhou's idol and motivation for hard work.
In his opinion, as an official, he should have basic demeanor and majesty. How can he deliberately pretend to be himself like a clown and "act" in front of those vulgar people?
However……
Chen Yonglian turned his head and smiled, saying, "What's wrong? He did Hu Yanzhi, but I, Chen Yonglian."
After saying that, Chen Yonglian teared his clothes a few times and quickly walked towards the door of the mansion.
"Fun! Fun... It's so fun."
The second lady Chen Sidi giggled with joy. It is indeed rare for her father, who has always been serious, to look like this today!
"Why? Why do you need this..."
Chen Sizhou looked at Chen Yonglian's back and fell into deep confusion and thought.
Like Lord Hu, when he opened the door of the mansion, the prefect Chen Yonglian also played the role of the body, and repented and prayed to the gods with a crying face.
That miserable look, that serious, that sincere...
The common people who rushed over and condemned him felt that the prefect was a little pitiful?
There were even several strong men who came forward and wanted to invite Mr. Chen to their house to visit and learn how to complete the family and have a son.
After all, these men have several sons, but they all have sons.
...
On the other hand, City Lord Hu pulled the prefect Chen down with this move, and he felt much more happy.
However, this was not his purpose. After fully arousing the sympathy and understanding of the people, City Lord Hu prayed to the heaven more seriously: "I know that my sins are serious, but my sins are not as serious as the people in the city. I beg God to let Lord Immortal Lord give another miracle and save the people in the city!"
Wow!
This last sentence is about the point.
With this sentence, Lord Hu kicked the "ball" back to Tang Can.
That's right, all the pretentious behaviors and acting before, City Lord Hu was trying to throw back the problem of solving the smelly problem to Tang Can again.
Hehe! Don’t you, Tang Can, just want the people to think that this odor is a punishment from God and brought by me, Hu Yanzhi?
OK! I didn't even explain, so I recognized it.
Not only did I admit it, I also prayed piously to God for forgiveness and prayer. I have done everything I should do. Now it is your turn to come to show your skills, the Immortal Lord who descends to the earth!
If you want to avoid the important, you can avoid this problem without even the door. Lord Hu was very treacherously thinking that when Tang Can could not save these ordinary people and the Immortal Lord lost all his reputation, he could use this to promote Tang Can as a fake Immortal Lord and could purge the Tang Mansion in a moment.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, the people suddenly realized that the solution to the root cause of the odor is to take action by Tang Can, the "Immortal Lord descending to the earth"!
Moreover, in their eyes, the two noble-ranking masters, Lord Hu and Priest Chen, have realized their mistakes and prayed piously to God for forgiveness. The Immortal Lord should have brought down miracles to cure the odor problem!
So...
In a vast and vast crowd of ordinary people returned to the Tang Mansion.
"Uncle, it seems that although Tang Can's child is cunning, you are still better at your skills! This time, Tang Can is probably helpless..."
Seeing the series of City Lord Hu’s slutty actions, his nephew Hu Haiquan couldn’t help but exclaim.
"No hurry! Since Tang Can can think of this method, then... he must have a way to deal with it." City Lord Hu said calmly.
Hu Haiquan was not calm and said in surprise: "It's all like this. How can Tang Can escape and do anything? Could it be that he just said... Can I not cure this smelly nonsense? At that time, I'm afraid we don't need to do anything, and the people in the city will tear him apart as soon as possible..."
"Tang Can would not be so stupid to shirk. The biggest possibility is that he will first respond to this matter, and then say with a look of embarrassment that it is not difficult to solve these odors, but it requires some special conditions or items. These conditions and items must be provided by our City Lord's Mansion... In this way, he can transfer the conflict to our side..."
His eyes were full of wisdom. Lord Hu looked in the direction of the Tang Mansion in the distance and said disdainfully.
"Ah? Then... uncle, in this case, Tang Can will definitely put forward some very difficult conditions, or... it is simply impossible to achieve. What should we do?" Hu Haiquan said in surprise.
"Do as you do! In order to win the trust of these ordinary people, Tang Can will definitely not mention the conditions that cannot be achieved at all. The most likely one is some items or conditions that are difficult for me to give up but can do. So, no matter what conditions he proposes, just do as he said. Then, I want to see... how he saves the people all over the city."
At this moment, Hu Yanzhi felt that the intermittent battle between him and Tang Can was like two chess players placing troops.
However, he has always had the initiative and the advantage, and is step by step forcing Tang Can to a desperate situation where he can't walk.
After all, he had seen Hua Dingxin, a disciple of the doctor king in the mansion. The stench smell emitted by the shit mountain in this treasure house was very strange, and it had never been recorded in the [Doctor King Medicine Cauldron].
Even if the Huading acupuncture is not able to produce a prescription that can cure the effects of odor, City Lord Hu doesn’t believe it… Can Tang Can have this ability?
...
However, on the Tang Mansion, when Tang Can received news of the changes in the situation between the city lord's mansion and the prefect's yamen, he couldn't help but be happy.
These two old foxes are not only scheming and scheming, but also have the same acting skills and IQ online.
Especially the city lord Hu Yanzhi did not despise Tang Can at all. Instead, he was careful and cautious in his actions, not only perfectly resolving the crisis, but also kicked the ball back.
"Can'er, this... Lord Hu and Prefect Chen really 'plead guilty'?"
Tang Xun's plan could not reach this depth, so he was very amazed that the two of the City Lord Hu and the Prefect Chen pleaded guilty directly without even the slightest defense. This was really a bit incredible.
But in fact, this is the "forced by the situation" that people often talk about. You cannot simply see the appearance like those ordinary people. It is understood as "Tang Can said that City Lord Hu offended the old genius and brought down the punishment of heaven, and City Lord Hu readily pleaded guilty."
Instead, we should see the real "interest exchange" and "sword and sword shadow" at the surface. This is like in the modern officialdom, many civil servants who have no brains to go to the unit can't see it at all.
Every once in a while, I suddenly sighed, "Huh? Why did a certain leader get promoted again?" or "Oh! Why did the certain leader retire early before he even reached the retirement age?"
In this kind of power struggle and various conspiracies, every move that everyone makes on the surface is actually a response that has been made by comprehensively considering the overall interests and possible reactions of the other party.
"Now the people outside the palace are clamoring to save us again. Can'er... What should we do next? Should we save people now?"
Although Tang Xun was surprised, he was not panicked at all.
Because after drinking the cup of tea that Tang Can gave him just now, he could not smell the stench. He immediately knew that Tang Can was confident and had the ability to really cure the people of the city.
However, when to treat it, this opportunity... needs to be carefully considered and grasped.
Sure enough, Tang Can's mouth curled slightly and waved his hand, "No hurry now. I heard that our City Lord Hu is a rooster who is irresistible. This time... what happened? We have to let him change his temper..."
After saying that! Tang Can came to the gate of the Tang Mansion. When the people outside saw him appear, they knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "Immortal Lord Help" and other words.
Tang Can continued to possess the actor, pointed to the well in front of his mansion with a embarrassed face and said, "It's very simple to save everyone. The well water in the well at the door of my Tang mansion can be avoided by the odor after drinking it. However, in addition to the well water, there must be a medicine to attract..."
Speaking of this, Tang Can deliberately paused for a moment, and saw that the tens of thousands of ordinary people were looking at him with hope in his eyes, and he was eager to know what the medicine introduction Tang Can said was.
"Because this time the divine punishment was caused by City Lord Hu, so... the medicine is a hair of City Lord Hu. Just drink it with City Lord Hu and drink it with well water, and the medicine will be cured in an instant, and you will never be disturbed by such odor in the future."
