The demon world I designed
Chapter 63 Unless you are a fool
"With me here, there is hope in the world?"
In the small courtyard, Ah Li gently rocked the wicker chair, recalling what someone said without any hesitation just now, a flash of realization flashed in his eyes: "I feel so confident."
"This world is not hopeless, I am...this world is here!"
Another person's words flashed through Ahri's mind. That person was also so confident back then, so at that time, 80% of the demons in reincarnation were working for him.
No one knows where that man's charm comes from, and no one knows why everyone believes in his wild words.
He was so powerful back then, as if nothing could stop him.
Ahri recalled that era, which was the era closest to hope. At the most successful time, all the reincarnation monsters, including herself and Mr. Painted Skin, were even imagining their own futures.
But he is still dead...
Without him, there would be no hope in this world!
Ah Li looked faintly at the door where Chen Qing had left.
"In today's world, even if you and King Qin are the same person, you can't be saved!"
A faint sigh sounded, and a figure appeared behind the wicker chair. He was dressed in a blue shirt, slender and handsome, like the beautiful scholar in the painting. If not Cui Yan, who could he be?
I saw him looking at Ahri with great tenderness, gently shaking Ahri's wicker chair, but when he looked at Ahri's belly, there was a hint of unspeakable terror in his eyes...

"Boss, you are finally back!"
"I told you to call your lord!" Chen Qing looked at Zhou Haitao with an annoyed look on his face.
How many times have you corrected it? Why can't you change this gangster mentality in doing business? No wonder China has not allowed businessmen to serve as officials since ancient times. This fat man did business with his father several times when he was young. It is hard to change his habit.
"Sir..." Zhou Haitao rolled his eyes: "Do you know how many things the Yamen has accumulated now?"
"How many things?" Chen Qing asked curiously while drinking tea.
"The previous accounts of the tea, salt, and water channels need to be connected, and the land deed documents you bought need to be sorted out. Now the caravans are returning, and many people in North Street have begun to move back. They also need to register and confirm their household registrations. There is still a month for you. The prison has not been cleaned." Zhou Haitao said speechlessly: "Fortunately, the officer who came back told me that I just asked someone to bring food in. If you get busy, those guys whose jaws you took off may be there. The corpses in the prison stink and no one cares about them!”
Chen Qing was stunned: "Hey, it sounds like there's a lot to do, but... isn't it just these chores I invited you to do?"
"I……."
Zhou Haitao suddenly laughed angrily: "The government hasn't started functioning yet, and there are no major fortifications in Liuzhou. In the past, we didn't need to invite the departments in charge of the fortifications. But you have to invite some people to handle the financial, taxation, household registration, and criminal cases, right?" There are officials and there are no guards in the prison. Do you think I can do all these things by myself?"
"No...Isn't it possible?" Chen Qing said in a daze.
Haitao's eyes widened and he looked at Chen Qing. After a long time, he said: "I thought my father was already dark enough. Chen Qing...are you sure your family sells tofu? Why do I feel better than those in Xishan?" Is it still a crime for the mine owner to let others fill the pit? "
"Ahem..." Chen Qing coughed lightly, then rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "Well...isn't this a lack of money?"
"You're so generous when you don't have money?" Zhou Haitao screamed directly: "You give ten taels to each of the city gatekeepers? It's not even that expensive for me to hire an accountant!"
"How can that be the same?" Chen Qing said with a smile: "Those at the city gate are responsible for killing monsters. People have to work hard for food. Who would be willing to do it if they don't do it? Do you really think that if you believe in the door god, your work will be in vain? "
"That's true..." Zhou Haitao nodded, but then said: "I don't care, I really can't do it if I don't hire someone else!"
"No rush, no rush...just a few more days of hard work!" Chen Qing chuckled and said, "The money is on the way."
"The money is on the way?" Haitao was stunned: "Has the Chief Minister sent you money again?"
"How is that possible?" Chen Qing rolled his eyes: "The old man said it generously and offered full support, but in the end he only paid so little and didn't even buy all the real estate on South Street."
The corners of Zhou Haitao's eyes suddenly twitched, is that too little? Do you still want someone to buy all of Liuzhou for you?
Too lazy to argue with the other party, he asked directly: "Where is the money?"
"Aren't there a few people in that prison?" Chen Qing stretched lazily and said, "Those are our children. When their families come to redeem them, we can give them a small sum..."
"Young man? Do you still want to knock someone off?" Zhou Haitao laughed angrily and said, "Are you serious?"
"I also want to know..." A cold voice came from outside: "Is Mr. Chen serious about knocking on the Shen family?"
The two of them looked over and happened to see Chen Ying pushing Wei Gongcheng in.
"What's the problem?" Chen Qing yawned and said, "They openly attacked the imperial officials, which is a serious crime. According to our criminal law, they would at least be sentenced to exile. How could they be willing to let their own children suffer such a crime?"
"How many more sentences do you want to give them to exile?" Chen Ying was stunned.
Did Wei Gongcheng not tell him clearly what the size of the Shen family was?
"Why not?" Chen Qing looked at the other party and said seriously: "Assaulting an official of the imperial court should be punished like this. If they want me to tolerate mercy outside the law, then of course they have to be mean. I read those things when I was studying. This is what all officials do.”
Chen Ying: "..."
Wei Gongcheng said with a smile: "How much do you plan to charge?"
"Look at those young gentlemen, they are all noble people. Ten thousand taels per person is not too much, right? I am short of money here. I don't even have the staff for the sixth house in the government office. I am so poor..."
Chen Ying took a breath and ignored the other party's plan to blackmail the Shen family for death, but first asked another question: "Master Chen, do you know... what does the elixir that the Nanshan Mountain God brought out today represent? "
"What does it mean?" Chen Qing said slowly while drinking tea.
"It means that if you don't have a backstage, you will be eaten to pieces by the Shen family!" Chen Ying said seriously: "Sir, are you really not afraid?"
"Who told you that I have no backing?"
Chen Ying frowned, is there any?
She had checked and found out that the new magistrate was an ordinary farmer and not born into any family of sorcerers.
"I am an official of the imperial court, a Marquis personally named by His Majesty, and also the consort of Princess Yong'an. Who has a stronger background than me?"
"Are you the consort?" Chen Ying and Zhou Haitao said almost in unison...
"Your master didn't tell you?" Chen Qing looked at Chen Ying funny.
Chen Ying shook her head in confusion, feeling a little confused. Is this guy a prince-in-law?
Right? Can a concubine have a beautiful concubine?
Or was it sent by his master himself... What's going on?
Chen Ying looked at this young man and felt that he could not understand him more and more, but the more this happened, the more he felt that he was not simple.
Zhou Haitao looked at Chen Qing with envy and jealousy. I said that this guy was promoted so quickly. He was promoted to the fourth rank as soon as he got there. It turns out he got the emperor's daughter!
Damn, it’s good to be handsome! !
Wei Gongcheng shook his head in amusement. He knew yesterday that Chen Qing was planning to pull the tiger's skin. The title of the emperor's son-in-law sounded quite bluffing, but it could only bluff laymen.
Anyone who really knows His Majesty knows that His Majesty does not attach great importance to his daughters who cannot inherit the bloodline. Several of them have been married directly to those extremely barbaric places in the ancient wilderness. It is said that they have already died suddenly...
If you want to use this to pull off the tiger's skin, it's fine for a while, but facing a family with the Shen family's energy, you won't be able to bluff for a long time.
Chen Qing looked at Wei Gongcheng's eyes without explaining, and drank tea silently.
He didn't want to be high-profile, but Shinto-ryu couldn't be high-profile. To play this genre, you have to be famous and attract people. The more famous you are, the more faith you can attract. And now that the ghost fairy is about to be released, he doesn't have much time.

"Consort?"
At this time, a meeting was held within the Shen family because of the detention of Dafang's three legitimate sons. The patriarch Shen Yixin solemnly summoned the heads of each house, and among them... the most conspicuous ones were Dafang's current elders, the three The imprisoned legitimate son and mother, married from the Northern Tianlang family: Murong Yunji.
Different from the dignified dress of women from the Central Plains, especially those from the south of the Yangtze River, this wife of a wealthy family still does not change the style of the northern grasslands even though she has been married for many years. She wraps herself in a gorgeous leather jacket, but her lower body reveals her round wheat-colored thighs. Too hot to look like the matron of a house.
For a Jiangnan family, especially a top family like the Shen family, Meng Lang would not allow this.
But because of his special background, no one in the Shen family dares to gossip.
"The emperor's son-in-law?" Yun Ji smiled: "Is the Sixth Master afraid of this? If the Emperor of the Xiao family cared about his daughters, he would not let so many of his daughters jump into the fire pit of the ancient wilderness country."
"The situation is complicated now..." Mr. Liu looked at the disapproving landlady and suddenly had a headache.
"The background of Chen Qing seems simple, but in fact it is not. According to the letter from Fifth Brother, Chen Qing has been attracted by many forces in the capital. The Duke of Qin, the prince, and even your majesty have all been attracted to varying degrees. If he is just a young man with a lot of treasures, How can a person come to Liuzhou to be the prefect if he has already been eaten to the point of losing his ashes in the capital?"
"Sister-in-law, you think things are too simple."
"I think you are overcomplicating things." Murong Yunji looked disdainful: "Looking ahead and looking behind, you are not as bloody as your elder brother!"
The other house owners in the hall suddenly looked ugly. The woman in this big house still had no rules at all!
"Brother is just too bloody. Doesn't this mean that the person will be gone?"
A gloomy voice came out. The smile on Murong Yunji's face did not change, but a green light appeared in her eyes. She looked at the person who just spoke: "Old Jiu, can you say it again?"
"How is it?" The person being asked was a man as skinny as a monkey, wearing extremely loose clothes. Something could be clearly seen squirming inside the clothes, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
"You're a foreigner..."
"Presumptuous!" Shen Yixin interrupted the other party directly and glared fiercely: "Old Jiu, it's over!"
"Hmph!" The man was yelled at by Shen Yixin, but he was not as unruly as he was with Murong Yunji. Although he looked sullen and unconvinced, he did not make any further fuss.
"The one in Liuzhou..." Shen Yixin continued to look at the other person: "Let me test it out, Lao Jiu. Remember... you have to be measured."
"Okay Sixth Brother..." Lao Jiu said dullly: "I have to deal with the mess in a certain room. You are really my good Sixth Brother."
Shen Yixin smiled helplessly and was about to say something when she saw Murong Yunji standing up directly.
"Don't bother you, I'll go there myself!"
Without waiting for a response, he stood up and strode out of the hall.
Shen Yixin couldn't help but cover his forehead after looking at it. The second son of the Shen family on the side chuckled and said: "Look at the woman the boss married, he is the only one who can bear it."
"Second brother, be careful what you say." Shen Yixin frowned: "My father personally asked for my sister-in-law for my eldest brother. Do you have any objections to my father's actions?"
As soon as his father was mentioned, the entire hall seemed to be enveloped by a dark cloud. No one said anything, and the atmosphere was frighteningly cold.
About a quarter of an hour later, Shen Yixin, who had been thinking for a long time, finally said: "Second brother, please take Lao Jiu there and don't let my sister-in-law make too much trouble."
Hearing this, Shen Laoer put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law has been gone for a quarter of an hour. How can I keep up with her at her speed? The prefect's body is already cold when we rush over."
"If it's just that level, then you can start cultivating the ghost of the prefect and use his technique!"
Shen Yixin seemed gentle and kind, but his words at this time had a bloody smell of disapproval.
He slowly took a sip of tea and then said: "But if he can resist my sister-in-law for a moment..."
"How is that possible?" Shen Laojiu interrupted in a funny voice: "I can't stand that woman, but her ability is something that a twenty-year-old young man can resist?"
Shen Laoer was also curious: "Lao Liu, which one from Liuzhou do you think so highly of?"
"I don't know..." Shen Yixin squinted and said, "The theory is impossible, but if you don't have any backup plans, you would dare to expose so many things, unless you are a fool!"
