Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

"Don't get too happy so early. I just talked about receipts and haven't talked about expenditures yet. When I finish talking, it's not too late for you to be happy!"

Hou Yuduan spoke again when the world was awake. Everyone, including Hou Yuxiao, listened obediently to what he continued to say.

"Didn't Third Sister just say that more than 20,000 people died in this riot? According to the standard of 5 taels per family, I will pay out a total of 100,000 taels in pensions.

In addition, there are a total of 985 orphans after the chaos. I have placed them all in Dongkang Street. In addition to hiring people to take care of them, I also paid people to teach them to start practicing martial arts. The initial cost was nearly ten thousand taels.

There were also 37 casualties among the warriors in the clan, and the pension totaled 3,700 taels. There were countless people injured that night, and a total of 7,300 taels were spent on their injuries, which adds up to eleven thousand taels!"

Good guy, these three items of expenses add up to 121,100 taels, and nearly a quarter of the money just calculated is gone. Everyone suddenly felt like they had been stabbed.

The grumpy Hou Yucheng couldn't help but said: "These things should be done by the county government. Even if Ren Feng is...ahem...ran away, the county should come forward to appease the people."

.

We have made great achievements in defending Zhaoyang, so why don’t we get some silver reward from the county?"

The rest of the people nodded immediately, with a look of indignation on their faces. After all, such a large sum of money was spent, and it was impossible not to feel sad.

"The county will not care about Zhaoyang, not only today, but also in the future!"

"Brother, did you reach some kind of deal with that Sikong Yue, so you dared to directly change the county government plaque?"

Hou Yuduan was the quickest to react. As soon as this question came out, everyone looked at Hou Yuxiao with a look of disbelief.

They all have their own tasks this month. They were all summoned here by Hou Yuxiao today. The county government has replaced the plaque of Hou's mansion. Naturally, they have seen it a long time ago, and they have been filled with doubts in their hearts.

Hou Yuxiao looked at the crowd, prepared his tone, and whispered: "Lao Wu guessed it right. From now on, Zhaoyang will no longer have county officials and officials!"

As soon as he said this, the nine people present were stunned, and then their faces showed joy, and their expressions became more and more excited.

Hou Yucheng couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and said tremblingly: "Brother, what you mean is that from now on in Zhaoyang County... our Hou family has the final say?"

Everyone immediately turned to Hou Yuxiao, and when they saw him nodding gently, their faces showed a look of ecstasy.

Hou Ying and Hou Cun even started pacing in place.

Even if the others had no physical reaction, their faces were full of excitement.

Obviously, everyone's excitement at this moment is beyond words.

The Hou family suffered great changes and were on the verge of destruction.

It wasn't until Hou Yuxiao led them to negotiate in many ways to survive that it was not until half a year ago that the Hou family finally gained a firm foothold.

Then a month ago, with the help of the Mountain Sword Sect to attack, they destroyed the Feiyingmen Qinglang Gang, Dou Chengyue, and killed Ren Feng.

By now, Hou Yuxiao told them that the Hou family had suddenly become the lord of Zhaoyang City and the well-deserved overlord of the entire county.

Who would have thought that in just two years, the Hou family would change so much, it was as if everyone was dreaming!

"Then what does Sikong Yue need us to do?"

Among the nine people present, Hou Yuduan was the only one who could regain his composure so quickly and grasp the key to the problem.

However, this question calmed everyone down a little, and a hint of appreciation flashed in Hou Yuxiao's eyes. Lao Wu's calm character was of endless benefit to the family.

"Guard Zhaoyang City, use my head!"

"This is because they know that Xuzhou will not give up and there is no one available in the county. They gave us Zhaoyang in name, but in fact they lost a hot potato. This is because they know that we will not refuse. That Sikong Yue... is really smart.

!”

Hou Yuduan's pupils flashed, and he immediately realized the underlying logic of this transaction. While sighing, he also explained it to everyone.

After everyone understood this, the excitement in their hearts immediately diminished a lot.

"Any transaction in this world is, to put it bluntly, an exchange of interests. We want Zhaoyang, and the Holy Cult wants to keep Zhaoyang. Both parties are just using each other."

Hou Yuling said: "Are you just asking us to defend the city in vain? Are you not going to give us any benefits except not sending the county magistrate and Sizheng?"

"Of course not. Sikong Yue also promised me. She promised that neither the county nor the government would make it difficult for my Hou family to be promoted to the upper class!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's pretty much it...

"Third-rate forces, Gang Qi realm warriors are in charge, the number of martial arts disciples exceeds a thousand, and three first-rate secret arts are in charge of the mountain. All the conditions that should be met are met. Now we still have Zhaoyang County in our hands. As long as the county and the government are not in trouble, Hou Men

Promotion to the third-rate force is already a certainty!"

Hou Yucheng's tone was extremely excited, and everyone's emotions were suddenly aroused.

Hou Yuling smiled as brightly as a flower, turned to look at Hou Yujie, and said: "The fourth child will soon be able to break through the Gang Qi realm, and by then our Hou family will have two masters of the Gang Qi realm.

Among the seven second-rate forces in Tongling County, there are more than two masters of the Gang Qi Realm, namely the Bai family in the county and the Qijue Sect in Baiye County. The Bai family has good relations with us. Once we are officially promoted, our Hou family will be the real

It’s on the stage of Tongling County!”

At this time, Gao Cheng shook his head and said with a glint in his eyes: "It's far more than just being on the stage. The Patriarch defeated the Tiger Ranking master Tian Linong and should succeed the old Patriarch and get on the Right Path Little Demon Slayer Ranking.

There have been rumors before that Cheng Yue will be on the list of new stars in the magic way. In this battle of Zhaoyang, his reputation has been completely ruined. There is no chance of being on the list. On the contrary, the head of the family has performed well in this battle of Zhaoyang, and it is very likely that he will also be included in the list.

…”

He stopped talking about this high achievement, but when he mentioned the two lists, everyone's breathing became a little heavier.

The Zhengdao Little Demon Slayer List is not bad. Among all the mainstream forces, almost everyone is on the list. The key is the Rising Star List.

The population of the Six Demonic States is in the billions. Roughly speaking, the number of warriors is at least in the tens of millions. The number of warriors under the age of fifty can be counted in the millions, but only a few hundred people can be on this list...

It’s not easy to get on this list!

Think about it, this list covers not only Yongzhou, but also You, Yu, Fen, Bing, and Liang. Countless magic geniuses are competing to compete and travel around the world. Who wouldn't want to

Want a reputation...

Most of this list is competed by the children of the three major powers of Saint, Heaven, and Earth. If Hou Yuxiao is on this list, what will it be like?

"Okay, okay, stop dreaming. Cheng Yue is so strong that he was praised for being on the list. My ability to defeat Tian Linong this time is not a positive thing. In the final analysis, I still took advantage. I almost want to be on the list."

impossible!"

Hou Yuxiao still knows how much he can do. During the Zhaoyang Rebellion, it would be good for him to be on the righteous little demon slayer list. But don't even think about it on the demonic new star list...

"Master, when should we go to the county?"

To be promoted to the current stream, one must first report to the county magistrate. Hou Fei looked extremely excited at this moment and went directly to ask.

"Don't worry, you can take people to Changle Street first and help me prepare something. I want to meet all the warriors in the city.

Also, Fourth Brother, take these five Yuan Gang Pearls first!"

When everyone saw Hou Yujie taking the Yuan Gang Pearl, a look of envy suddenly appeared on their faces.

"This Yuan Gang Pearl was found in the Qinglang Gang and Feiyingmen. The Fourth Brother is about to break through. Give it to him first. You don't have to be envious. The clan is not short of money now. When we get to the county, we are still afraid of not having the Yuan Gang Pearl.

What!"
