Fengyi Mountain in Donglin County is such a place.
Usually, at most, there are some hunters and woodcutters who will wander around the outside of Fengyi Mountain. As for the deeper parts, not many people are willing to go there.
After all, in deep mountains and old forests like Fengyi Mountain, there are poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions, as well as tigers, leopards and black bears.
Even experienced hunters are unwilling to encounter these beasts.
After all, with human reaction speed, whether it is a tiger, leopard, black bear or gray wolf, they can easily kill a human.
Especially after nightfall, wild beasts are rampant in the mountains, and no one will enter Fengyi Mountain.
But tonight, after running for more than ten kilometers, Fang Xiaoyue arrived at Fengyi Mountain.
Fengyi Mountain, shrouded in darkness, looks like a giant black beast lying on the ground, which is intimidating.
The sound of night owls from time to time and the continuous roar of beasts are even more chilling.
But to Fang Xiaoyue, all this is nothing.
His skills as a top martial arts master alone are enough to tear a tiger and leopard alive!
Not to mention, he was powerful enough to give him an inexplicable sense of security after entering Fengyi Mountain.
This sense of security is even stronger than when we are in the county town during the day.
The cool leaves brushed across his neck, taking away a little of the heat he felt from running all the way.
Wei Wei circulates spiritual energy in his body, calming down the boiling blood and energy all over his body.
He casually walked in the forest at night, and soon attracted an ambush from a ferocious beast.
When the beast pounced out from behind him, he killed the beast on the spot with three punches and two palms. Through the moonlight that was faintly falling from the tree canopy, he discovered that it turned out to be a golden leopard covered in golden color!
Well, creatures like golden leopards are probably unique to this plane.
Different from the normal leopard that is covered with money-like patterns, this golden leopard is completely golden with no flaws, and there is no money-like pattern that leopards are accustomed to.
You should be able to sell it for a lot of money, right?
Fang Xiaoyue carried the golden leopard and turned around and headed back to the county town.
When he returned to Li's yard, he disliked the fishy smell of the golden leopard, so he hung it on the jujube tree in the yard.
This is to prevent rats from eating the golden leopard carcass and destroying the integrity of the fur.
After finishing these tasks, he returned to the guest room, sat cross-legged on the bed, fell asleep and continued to practice.
This is his new posture for practicing dreaming.
Compared to practicing while lying down and dreaming, this posture is actually more efficient.
Time flies by like water, and it’s morning in a blink of an eye.
Because Li Zaixing had to go to work early and send his son to private school, he got up early in the morning. After waking up his wife, he hurried to the latrine, preparing to vent his feelings.
But as soon as the sleepy Li Zaixing arrived in the yard, he saw something that seemed to be lying on the jujube tree. When he took a closer look, the sleepiness in his head disappeared in an instant as if a basin of ice water had been poured on it.
"Hug, hug! Leopard!"
Li Zaixing was so frightened that he took a few steps back and felt that his legs were weak. However, considering the safety of his family, he gritted his teeth and retreated into the room to warn his wife.
"What? Leopard? Oh my god! It's really a leopard!"
Although Fang Xiuyun was much more courageous than Li Zaixing, his performance was not much better.
But the couple suddenly became worried about the safety of their family.
He hurriedly took courage and went to the room where his two sons lived. He warned them not to go out, and then went to the guest room.
Fang Xiaoyue was awakened by the noise made by the couple at this time, and looked at the couple who came in with their legs weak.
He already knew what the problem was, and couldn't help but accuse his sister and brother-in-law with a wry smile: "Sister, brother-in-law, you are scared. The leopard in the tree was hunted by me. It is already dead and will not harm anyone."
Hearing what Fang Xiaoyue said, Fang Xiuyun did not doubt his brother's words, but he was still shocked. He stepped forward and groped Fang Xiaoyue, fearing that his brother would be hurt in some way.
This made Fang Xiaoyue dumbfounded. She kept saying that she was not injured at all, and took the opportunity to use her skills to create an immortal master: "That day, I happened to encounter a large group of thieves. Seeing that my life was in danger, who knew that suddenly a burst of The strong wind blew so hard that I couldn't see my fingers. Then I was rescued by an old immortal on the mountain. After that, I followed the old immortal to learn magical powers..."
After Fang Xiaoyue hesitated for a long time, she finally came back to her lies.
But after saying this, not only his sister looked at him with a bit of surprise, but even his brother-in-law Li Zaixing felt a little dizzy.
My brother-in-law is also very lucky, right?
Not to mention that in the past, I was admitted to the scholar examination, passed the imperial examination, won the imperial examination, and entered the Hanlin Academy. Even if I was in danger when I was out, I would be rescued by an immortal!
Why can't I meet the immortal when I go out?
Of course, these things could only be put aside temporarily in front of the golden leopard.
After Fang Xiaoyue was busy for a while and peeled off the golden leopard skin completely, she took the initiative to give the golden leopard skin to her brother-in-law and asked him to sell it.
In his own words, he has been away from home for too long and is not familiar with these business things at all. If he sells by himself, he will probably be cheated by others, but someone as experienced as his brother-in-law will not be cheated easily.
These words made Li Zaixing seriously doubt whether his brother-in-law was making fun of him.
It has to be said that Li Zaixing took this golden leopard fur and went out to sell it, which immediately caused quite a stir in the county town.
It should be said that although Li Zaixing frequently fails in business, he still has some business experience.
He knew that this stuff would be impossible for merchants who usually buy furs to eat.
It can only be sold at a good price if it is targeted at wealthy families or official families who need such expensive furs.
So he immediately found Master Cui in the county government office.
To say that the richest family in Donglin County is not the Fang family before, nor the Wang family that has risen in recent years.
But Mr. Cui, the county magistrate.
It is said that Mr. Cui's position as magistrate came from the promotion of people to replace officials.
These days, it is not so easy to replace someone with an official position.
You have to pay the officials!
In Shangxian County, which has a population of more than 300,000, the magistrate's price is 20,000 taels of silver.
In Zhong County, which has a population of about 200,000, the price is 10,000 taels of silver.
For a county with a population of less than 100,000, the magistrate only needs 5,000 taels of silver.
Well, the goods are genuine and not deceitful!
Donglin County is a typical middle county, with a current population of about 250,000.
Mr. Cui was able to spend 10,000 taels of silver to supplement his position as magistrate of Donglin County. It was obvious that his family was definitely rich.
Moreover, since Mr. Cui took office three years ago, he has mastered the unique skills of plundering people's wealth without any teacher.
In just three years, it is said that the silver boxes in the backyard of the county government office have piled up like a mountain.
If an extra person is born in the family, the county government will charge you two portions of the head tax. If there are no births in your family for three years, the county government will also charge a self-determined shortfall tax.
