The demon world I designed

"Do you want to buy cooking cakes? You are so lucky. They are made from wheat that the old lady ground freshly this morning. They are very fragrant. They are also sprinkled with sesame seeds and sugar..."

"Yes, Uncle General, the cakes made by my grandma are delicious..." A little girl of six or seven years old next to her helped the old man to sell them. She looked smart and cute.

But Li Danian looked horrified when he saw the approaching girl, and stepped back while holding the horse.

The horse seemed to sense the panic of its owner, and raised its hooves vigilantly, warning the little guy in front of it not to get close.

The girl was so frightened by the horse that she screamed and backed away and fell to the ground. Seeing this, the old man quickly stepped forward to pick up his granddaughter and shouted angrily: "You are a soldier, if you don't buy it, you won't buy it. Why are you scaring my granddaughter?"

Li Danian stared blankly at the grandson. Seeing that the old man was about to carry his granddaughter to the side of the road just like the previous times, his face suddenly turned fierce. He clamped the horse's belly tightly and overcontrolled the horse to trample towards the old and young. go!

Although Ryoma was confused, he felt his master's determination and rushed over with a roar without hesitation.

This dragon horse is a top military horse specially used by the imperial court. Its body is like an elephant and its speed is as fast as thunder. How can an old man or a child dodge when it really moves?

In an instant, he was trampled to pulp by huge horse hooves with a scream!

A pair of great grandfather and grandson died in extremely tragic circumstances.

But Li Danian, the perpetrator, looked shocked.

"died?"

"Is this really dead?"

After muttering to himself, Li Danian dismounted directly, drew his sword gently and approached. After careful observation, he found that the bones, flesh and blood were the same as those of a normal person who had been trampled to death, and there seemed to be no problem.

Could it be that I thought wrong? Are these grandfather and grandson really just ordinary people?

But……

Li Danian looked around strangely.

The familiar scenery, the familiar roads, the familiar two grandfathers and grandsons, and even the familiar sky were all exactly the same as the first three times I passed by!

Three times, it was like a strange circle that he could not get out of. He was obviously going straight, and he was very sure that there was no turning in the middle, but why did he come back to this ghost place every time?

Have you seen these two grandsons?

Li Danian took a breath and looked at the little girl who was trampled to death. After all, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but he didn't look any further. He mounted his horse again and galloped towards the familiar front again.

This time, if the two grandsons are dead, they will not return to the same place again, right? We can't delay General Yuchi's military report to the court!

Thinking like this, Li Danian ran all the way, his concentration was extremely concentrated. Looking at the surrounding scenery, his heart became increasingly cold.

Because he saw again that the sun had just risen in the sky.

But obviously... it was almost noon when I left my grandfather and grandson's place...

Once again, the surrounding scenes became more and more familiar, and the road was exactly the same as before. What was extremely unsettling was the... light fog that shrouded the surroundings at all times!

"Do you want to buy cooking cakes? You are so lucky. They are made from wheat that the old lady ground freshly this morning. They are very fragrant. They are also sprinkled with sesame seeds and sugar..."

The grandfather and grandson looked at him expectantly at the intersection again. It was the old man again, the granddaughter again, and the familiar smell of cooking cakes.

Li Danian felt like he was going crazy...

"But Mr. Zhou?"

In the teahouse of a relative of Ma Erniang on Liuzhou North Street, a soft and probing voice sounded. Zhou Haitao, who was doing household registration here, felt a chill all over. He looked up and his eyes suddenly lit up!

What a beautiful lady from the Western Regions!

"Who are you and why are you looking for me?" Zhou Haitao asked seriously after taking a sip of coarse tea.

The woman smiled slightly and quickly ordered the people around her: "Master Zhou is busy with civil affairs, and it is really hard for me and the people of Liuzhou. Come, make some good tea for Master Zhou." After saying this, she sat down opposite Zhou Haitao's desk and chair with a smile: " This is Jiangnan’s famous snow bait. Do you think it’s palatable to you, Mr. Zhou?”

"No need." Zhou Haitao flatly refused: "I'm used to drinking coarse tea, so I can't taste your finer things. If you have anything to say, I'm busy with things, so please tell me briefly..."

"Yes, yes..." The woman blocked the two attendants with bad expressions behind her with her hands, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you have worked tirelessly for people's livelihood, which is really admirable. My concubine, Ye Xiaoqian, is now the head of Watson Trading Company. This time I came here to ask about the shops on South Street."

"Head?" Zhou Haitao frowned and raised his head: "Oh, it is rumored that there is a female head of one of the top ten business houses in Jiangnan. Is she your Excellency?"

Damn it, why is a woman so tall?

Zhou Haitao's tone was casual and disgusting, which made the two women in red at the back look even more ugly. He was walking in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the chief envoy was polite when he saw him. What is so arrogant about Liuzhou’s temporary office experience?

"I made you laugh." Ye Xiaoqian still smiled gently, and even took the initiative to pour tea for Zhou Haitao: "I saw your majesty at the dock at noon today. It really makes people admire me."

"Routine fortifications, what's not awe-inspiring?" Zhou Haitao's nostrils were raised high and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It was obvious that he meant what he said.

"I have been traveling south of the Yangtze River for three years, and this is the first time I have seen someone who is domineering and arrogant like your lord, who dares to argue with reason. Especially since he is General Yuchi Feihong who massacred the city in the north."

Um, massacre?

Zhou Haitao's face twitched, Damn, that scar-faced man slaughtered the city this morning? Didn't he tell himself this kind of wolf-killing boss?

But at this time, he couldn't lose his momentum in front of a woman. Zhou Haitao put down his trembling brush and looked at the other party: "Whether it is civil or military, we are doing things for the court, and we have to speak in accordance with the rules and regulations of the court. General Yuchi will continue to make great achievements. You have to follow the rules, isn’t that what you should do?”

"Really?" The woman smiled brightly: "Then the state government purchased the retail real estate in Liuzhou, but it is against the rules, right?"

"In urgent matters, follow authority!" Zhou Haitao imitated Chen Qing's tone and said without batting an eyelid: "The role of the government is to stabilize people's livelihood. After the incident in Liuzhou, the market obviously collapsed. If the government does not take action, people with ulterior motives will be killed." Monopolizing real estate is a recipe for endless evil!”

"oh?"

Ye Xiaoqian was immediately in awe. She didn't expect that this new Liuzhou official had such a long-term plan. She really didn't expect it.

"I have learned a lesson." Ye Xiaoqian refilled the other party's cup of tea and asked softly: "My lords have a long-term vision. It is really a blessing to the people of Liuzhou. Now that Liuzhou has begun to return to the city, are you willing to return the shops to the people?"

"Of course you can..." Zhou Haitao drank the tea poured by the beauty with a leisurely look on his face.

Damn it, I finally feel like an official.

Working under Chen Qing for a month, he really felt that it was no different from working as a waiter in his father's inn. Oh no, it might be even worse, because his father never owed him wages!

If my father knew that he would end up doing this kind of work after studying for so many years, I wonder if he would regret spending so much money to send himself to the capital to take the exam.

After coming back to his senses, Zhou Haitao looked at the other party: "What? Does Mr. Ye want to buy it?"

Hurry up and buy it, the salary of labor and management is finally settled!

"It does mean that..." Ye Xiaoqian smiled and said, "I wonder if the Lord may make the decision?"

"Of course!" The fat man raised his head and held out his chest: "The prefect is busy with things, so I can make the final decision on such small matters!"

Ye Xiaoqian's eyes lit up slightly when she heard this. She just came to try her luck, but she didn't expect that she would actually bump into it. This little fat man could really make the decision!

After entering the city, the heads of the family naturally wanted to discuss with the prefect immediately. But now not only the newly appointed General Yuchi was looking for the prefect, but also several important figures from the Shen family were also visiting the prefect. They knew that they A few of them might have to line up in a row at the back.

Ye Xiaoqian didn't want to waste this free time, so she took the time to carefully observe the movements of the state capital, and soon noticed the fat little Zhou Haitao.

This guy who looks like a meat ball is in and out of the government office all day long. He is so busy that he looks extremely eye-catching.

At first, I thought it was a handyman, but after asking around, I found out that it was actually a senior official who had received the official seal. I was stunned for a long time at that time.

Because he does look like an errand boy. After all, I saw him helping that Ma Erniang in the morning. He is a multi-tasking boy...

As a result, after reading more, I discovered that this little fat man was in charge of a lot of things. He was responsible for registering household registration, recording disputes, dispatching soldiers at the city gate, and measuring cargo at the dock...

It’s really all-powerful!

Thinking that he wouldn't be able to see the prefect for a while, he wanted to ask for advice from here. After all, none of his colleagues had noticed this guy yet, but they didn't expect to bump into Bao.

"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"

"Can I still talk nonsense?"

"No, no, I just feel that you, sir, are busy with so many things, and I thought maybe someone else is in charge of the real estate matters."

The fat man's face twitched when he heard this: "Master Ye doesn't... think that I am a handyman, right?"

"Hahaha, sir, you are joking!" Ye Xiaoqian coughed lightly, smiled to cover up her embarrassment, and quickly poured herself a cup of tea, and then asked about business: "I wonder at what price the government plans to sell the real estate at now?"

"Ten thousand taels!"

"puff!!"

"Master Ye!!" Zhou Haitao wiped the tea on his face and said angrily: "Please respect yourself!"

"Sorry, sorry..." Mr. Ye quickly wiped it with a towel.

With Beauty's scented towel wiping it, the expression on Fatty's face improved a little, and he thought that the tea just spit out from Beauty's mouth made him feel a little better.

"Sir...are you joking?" Ye Xiaoqian asked carefully while wiping, "Ten thousand taels per room?"

This price is much more affordable than expected. Is the prefect of Liuzhou so generous?

"What are you thinking about?" The fat man looked at the other party as if he were an idiot: "What I mean is, ten thousand taels and one flat!"

Ye Xiaoqian: "..."
