Invincible starting from visualization of the sun
Chapter 24 Gathering News
In the Dali Dynasty, there was no administrative establishment of a town.
Below the county seat, there are villages one after another. When Li Heng learned about this situation before, he thought it was strange that the county directly governs the village. Isn't this too big a span?
Only later did he think of it.
Although this world is a fantasy world with extraordinary power, it is still an ancient dynasty after all, and productivity is not widespread.
Therefore, the population will not be as large as in modern society, and the villages under the jurisdiction of the county will not be abrupt.
But now the Sanshan Gathering is really up to the standards of a town, and it looks a little bustling.
"Boatman, didn't you say that martial law has been imposed here? Why are there still people coming and going on the street for trade?"
Li Heng said lightly, the middle-aged man's boatman was also very puzzled. "My lord, I really didn't lie to you. The government just declared martial law yesterday."
This guy is also very puzzled, it shouldn't be.
Does the order change from day to day? Li Heng thought in his heart.
He shook his head, pushing the matter out of his mind. Whatever it is, it's a good thing that someone is trading at a rally.
After all, if there is no one, the weirdness will not appear.
After paying the boat fare, don't let go of the wondering boatman, Li Heng once again stepped on the solid ground and felt a sense of security.
After all, he doesn't know how to fly now, so if there is an accident on the water, he will probably be in some trouble.
At this time, there were people coming and going at the Sanshan meeting.
Li Heng didn't go to the demon division's residence immediately, but walked around and observed the terrain.
This look also corroborated his guess.
Because most of the Sanshan assembly roads extend in all directions, they are very straight, with almost no bends, very much like Bei'an City.
If not for the contribution of some people from Bei'an City.
Li Heng didn't believe it.
Not to mention that the Sanshan Gathering was so orderly, it didn't look like a private trade place at all. If the surrounding buildings were not as tall as Bei'an City, he would have thought he had returned to Bei'an City.
He stopped and sat down at a food stall.
"Shopkeeper, what do you eat here?"
It's noon, let's fill up our stomachs first.
The stall owner was a clever young man. When he saw Li Heng's unusual attire, he spoke directly and respectfully.
"Young master, I recommend the stewed pork here. It's soft and tender, and the brine is specially prepared with a scent of medicinal herbs. It's a must in this gathering."
"If you have another bowl of Liangpi, the taste will be incredible!"
"Then take one as you said."
Li Heng said lightly.
"Okay, son, you can wait later, it will be done soon."
The stall owner immediately got busy.
"By the way, didn't the three-mountain meeting say that it was under martial law? Why is it still trading normally now?"
Li Heng said casually.
The stall owner was taken aback and quickly explained.
"My lord, you don't know something, how can the government control the Sanshan Assembly? Here, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is in charge. So what if the government says martial law is required? If it blocks the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's source of income, it still ignores it."
"And, to put it bluntly, the so-called martial law is just for the government to take advantage of it. People are still missing? It's not like no one disappeared at the rally before, why is martial law now?"
"Perhaps the government thinks that there is no need to pay taxes on the side of the assembly, and the white money cannot be obtained, so they are greedy."
While the young man was busy, he said disdainfully.
Li Heng was thoughtful, Feiyun Chamber of Commerce?
"If someone goes missing, shouldn't that be a big deal?"
"It used to be true."
"But gradually everyone got used to it. If you go missing, just go missing. After all, wealth comes from insurance, and there is no need to pay taxes here."
Soon, the stall owner presented the delicious suckling pork and a bowl of cold skin with spicy oil.
"Sir, please use it slowly."
Li Heng ate the cold noodle, feeling emotional in his heart.
Although the three mountain gatherings are far away from Bei'an City, the waterway is also unimpeded, so there is such a situation that the sky is high and the emperor is far away? The government is no match for a chamber of commerce?
Sure enough, the Dali dynasty was coming to an end.
It is also thanks to the extraordinary power in this world to suppress, the great power belongs to itself, and there are no natural disasters, most of the people can still live, otherwise the dynasty will have to be changed.
After eating it quickly, Li Heng commented on it as mediocre.
After all, it is a roadside stall. Unless you are very lucky, don't expect it to be unpalatable or delicious.
Seeing that Li Heng was about to leave, the stall owner hesitated for a moment, and hurried forward.
"Young Master, it seems that you are here for the first time, so it's better to be careful. During this period of time, the rally is not peaceful, and there are indeed a lot of people missing during this period."
Li Heng nodded, "Thank you very much."
"By the way, shopkeeper, add a few more nutmegs to the brine in the future, maybe the fragrance will be even stronger."
After leaving a word, Li Heng left without looking back.
Enough food and wine, it's time to get down to business.
He came to the main street of Sanshan Assembly, which was very wide, almost the standard in Bei'an City.
There are also some vendors on both sides of the road who are selling.
Li Heng identified it, and soon came to a courtyard gate, and there was a plaque with "Evil Elimination" written on it, which was more majestic than the plaque in Bei'an City.
He pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard.
There were two people in the yard, wearing the uniform of trainee demon slayers, carelessly sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard.
It makes people feel very bad.
At this time, Li Heng was not wearing the uniform of the Demon Division. However, the young man's clothes did not make these two people look down on others, but spoke respectfully.
"Who is the young master looking for? Master Xu? Master Xu has been missing for a while, and we don't know where he is."
Master Xu? Li Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems to be the missing Demon Slayer, Xu Yinghuan?
"Where did Xu Yinghuan disappear in the end?"
He spoke lightly, causing the two people to be taken aback. How dare you call Mr. Xu by his first name? Who is this man?
"This son, you are"
One of them said cautiously.
Li Heng didn't answer, just showed his token. The token shines brightly under the refraction of the sun's rays.
The two were startled and hurriedly half-kneeled.
"Apprentice Demon Exorcist He Qing, Apprentice Demon Exorcist Xu Liang, I have met Your Excellency, the two of us have been waiting for Your Excellency for a long time!"
They were excited, and even had tears in their eyes.
Finally, someone from Bei'an City came!
"Get up, tell me about what happened recently, where is the last place Xu Yinghuan showed up?"
Li Heng said lightly, he didn't want to waste time. As long as he finds a ray of breath, everything will be simple.
The two looked at each other, and this adult seemed to be a man of action. Ever since, he spoke directly with great sense of humor.
However, at this moment, shouts came from outside the yard.
"Xu Liang, get out, it's time to pay back the money!"
