One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Everyone is aware of this problem.
That's right, publicity is publicity.
But what if the disclosed money has been corrupted?
So how to find out?
A good piece of blue brick or white jade is sold for one tael, and it is sold for ten taels.
The formation master of the Fang family can be invited with a thousand lifespan, ten thousand lifespan, or one hundred thousand lifespan.
How could outsiders like them, who had never intervened, know the twists and turns here?
As long as Tie Tang connects with the Fang family, he can start making profits at the source. It doesn't matter how he publicizes it later, and there is no flaw at all.
Once this idea arises in everyone's mind, it will never be extinguished.
Because Tie Tang couldn't defend himself at all!
No matter how he explains it, others will be suspicious.
Unless the price of building a city defense array is far lower than the market price and the quality has to withstand the test, then it is possible to convince most people.
But this is also impossible.
Everyone was talking a lot, and with the help of thoughtful people, the situation that had started to shift towards Tie Tang's side started to return to the starting point.
Tie Long was furious when he saw this. He straightened his body and remembered that he was arguing as Tie Tang, but a big hand held down his shoulder and prevented him from standing up.
"Brother, don't worry, we three brothers don't understand these official methods. I believe you, sir." It was the more stable Tie Hu who persuaded his eldest brother.
Tie Tang had been watching the quarrel calmly, keeping most of the people's expressions in his eyes. This was the best time to observe the powerful people in these places.
Setting up the formation is only the first step, there are many things to do later, and they cannot avoid the people in front of you.
After half a stick of incense.
The chaotic voices in the hall gradually calmed down, and many people realized that something was wrong. Tie Tang was so calm, and it was obvious that he had someone else to rely on.
The head of the Gou family raised his eyebrows, and someone stood up to act as the vanguard.
"Money matters are a top priority. If you don't have a good idea for the moment... you might as well put it aside for the time being and wait for careful deliberation before convening a meeting at a later date."
Tie Tang turned slightly and asked softly: "Your Excellency, is..."
"The money I'm here to pay is Shi, the Treasurer of Salt."
"Money?"
"The name is quite good, and you are quite plump in appearance. It seems that the salt in our Qingshui County is not bad. It has made you fat and white."
Qian Lai's fat belly trembled, and the flesh on his face trembled: "Sir, why do you need to talk about him? Besides, is there anyone in the world who gets fat from eating salt?"
Tie Tang laughed loudly: "It's not that there is nothing, it just depends on whether you eat it with salt or words."
Qian Lai didn't dare to argue anymore and was extremely embarrassed where he was. It was the director of the local salt department who came to his rescue.
"What kind of place is this? It's your turn to speak to an eighth-grade Salt Treasurer, Shi, and you haven't sat down yet!"
"A humble person talks too much. A humble person talks too much."
Tie Tang didn't say a word, just watched the two acting quietly.
The director of the Salt Department saluted and mentioned the previous matter again: "This is because I have failed to discipline you properly and have offended your lord.
It's just that although he is stupid, he speaks from the bottom of his heart. This matter of money... is like a plan for grain and salt. You must not make any mistakes, sir. "
Tie Tang took out a dark book and flipped through a few pages at random.
"Gou Yangshu, a member of the Gou family of Qingshui, took the Divine Realm Pill and entered the realm of ancient witchcraft. He has been in charge of the Salt Division of Qingshui City for twelve years and has had many contacts. In the seventh year of his reign, there was a fire in the Salt Division's accounting room..."
"Sir, are you going to interrogate the lower officials here?" Gou Yangshu broke into cold sweat after hearing this, but he still forcibly interrupted Tie Tang, relying on the Gou family behind him, he bravely pushed forward.
Because everyone else, including him, could tell what kind of book Tie Tang was holding.
It is an official record book compiled by collecting various clues from secret agents in various places in the Supervisory Palace. It is also called the book of life and death in the world.
The stench of notoriety resounds throughout the government and the public!
Logically, only Qiu Zhengyang and the two deputy guards can read this book of life and death in the world. The other supervisors are not qualified at all.
Moreover, the Supervisory Hall is independent of the court, so it is difficult for past county governors, even Li Qingwan, to borrow such secret records.
Because one of the responsibilities of the chief and deputy guards of a county is to supervise the chief tiger, the county guard.
Now this secret book appears in Tie Tang's hands, and everyone can understand the reason without thinking too much.
It seems that the identity of the county governor and the inspector has created a monster.
Snap!
Tie Tang closed the dark book and put it into his arms casually, looking at the officials present.
The meaning of his move is very simple, it is to reveal a clear signal.
It shows that although I have just taken office, I don't know anything about you. On the contrary, I may have some leverage over you.
As for what is recorded in the Book of Life and Death...
Who knows?
No one would want to use their own wealth and life to verify it.
The inside of the Laiying Hall suddenly became quiet, and the already cold atmosphere became even more lonely.
"It's boring to talk about money matters for too long."
As Tie Tang spoke, he took out three flawless white jade bottles and threw them into the air.
"Here are treasures of heaven, materials and earth worth 30,000 years of life, which can be regarded as my first investment in the city defense formation.
All you need to do is fill in the rest.
If it is still not enough in the end, as long as the money raised by you all reaches seventy-eight percent of what is needed to set up the formation, Tie is willing to make up the remaining twenty-three percent in his own name.
After all, Tie is also from Qingshui County, and he should also contribute to his position in Qingshui City. "
"Thirty thousand years of life? Tsk tsk, big deal, big deal."
"This is not a small amount. I would like to know where he got so much money..."
"After all, people are at the top. It's not surprising that they have had any adventures. Otherwise, their strength would not have increased so quickly."
"I thought he was trying to steal our money, but now it seems...it doesn't seem like it."
"Give him 30,000 yuan first, and then make up for it if he doesn't have enough later. Even if he really wants to be greedy, he can't be greedy for much. After all, not all those treasures are priceless. We can also estimate one or two."
"Still greedy? You take 30,000 longevity yuan first, and I will give it to you to be greedy to see if you have the ability."
"Master Tie's move is very sincere. It seems that he has been prepared for a long time in advance. If we continue to make a fuss about money, it will be a bit shady. Please don't forget his identity."
........
With Tie Tang's move, anyone with brains would know that money is no longer a big problem.
If you insist on finding faults, you are openly going against Tie Tang, and I'm afraid the outcome will not be too good.
Si Guangji secretly discussed with the other three masters for a moment and immediately thought of a way to break the situation.
It was the head of the Gou family who stood up and said, "Since you have such financial resources, why didn't you tell me earlier? Isn't it just to make fun of us?"
"I did watch a few, but unfortunately they weren't very funny." Tie Tang did not deny it and chose to be tough.
The head of the Gou family was choked up and couldn't say what he wanted to say, so he quickly winked at the people around him.
The head of the Ji family next to him stood up: "Now that the master of the Fang family has not arrived, the specific amount of money is not clear yet, so let's not discuss this aspect for the time being.
However, as your Lordship said before, the formation must be tailored according to the topography and natural dangers of Qingshui City, which may involve a lot of areas and may have some impact on the city's environment...
You adults should understand that our place is a family property that has been passed down from generation to generation and cannot be easily parted with.
If there is a conflict between our ancestral property and the area of the city defense formation, I'm afraid we won't be able to help. "
In addition to money, the space occupied by the formation and the area involved are also one of the reasons why many people present are reluctant to set up the formation.
The foundation passed down from our ancestors can only be expanded, not reduced.
If you sell your father's land, you will be punished by thunder from heaven and earth. No one will agree to this, which is a disgrace to your ancestors.
"Since it is tailor-made, I will ask Master Fang to try not to affect you all." Tie Tang can no longer guarantee anything on this issue.
If the master doesn't come for a day, even he himself doesn't know what the formation will look like, so naturally he can't promise anything.
"What your Excellency said is absolutely true. Let's wait until the Fang family master arrives."
"Not bad, not bad, let's wait until he comes."
"Anyway, it's impossible to give up the place where my home is. I won't sell it no matter how much I pay."
"You're bragging. I'm afraid you'll sell your little bit of land for a little money. What kind of virtues do you, Mr. Li, have? Everyone still doesn't know about it?"
"Ma San'er, what do you mean by this?"
"That's what it means."
"You're a No. 1 person, it's not fun if you do this."
"Ah, yes, yes, you are interesting."
"Our eldest brother, not to mention my second brother, do you go to the casino less? You are really interesting."
........
There was a new wave of discussion among the people, and there were quite a few people making jokes among them, and they all obviously had their own thoughts.
However, this storm was quickly calmed down by one person.
"Everyone...can you allow me to say a few words?"
As soon as this person opened his mouth, most of the noise in the room immediately disappeared, and even the four major aristocratic families listened attentively.
Lu Yuande stood up, cupped his hands towards Tie Tang, and then looked at the heads of many aristocratic families again.
“As the saying goes, there are no corpses in building bridges and roads, but there are gold belts in murder and arson.
Now that the county governor is sincere and spends a lot of money, we can no longer let the people who build bridges and roads feel cold.
The formation of this city defense formation is not aimed at one person. The entire city, including you and me, will benefit from it, including your relatives, family members, and close friends.
That being the case, why not do it?
In Lu's opinion...if we can work together and come together in one place, we will be able to overcome many obstacles.
You might as well make a decision and wait until the master comes to try it first. If it doesn't work, then think of a way.
With all the efforts of a city like us, is it really impossible to set up a large formation? "
After Lu Yuande said that, he sat down calmly, which made everyone feel weird and confused as to what kind of medicine this old fox was selling.
before coming.
Even before Lu Yuande said these words.
The message everyone received was that the Lu family was strongly opposed to the formation.
It is precisely because of the Lu family taking the lead that so many people are trying every possible means to sabotage the formation without even thinking about it.
It's better now.
After the Lu family let it slip, they bit back and turned into a gentleman, standing firmly on Tie Tang's side.
This made everyone feel very uncomfortable.
Although your Lu family is the number one family in Qingshui City, you can't play tricks on us like this.
Not only were everyone surprised, but Tie Tang was also a little confused.
The news he heard from Lu Zhengqing was not like this.
I originally thought it would be good if the Lu family wouldn't object openly, but I didn't expect the other party's attitude to take a sudden turn.
Lu Yuande set up a ladder, and Tie Tang didn't care if there was a mechanism or not, he simply went up the ladder and settled the matter first.
"In this case, let's settle the matter like this first, and then discuss it after the master decides on the specific formation.
Everyone...do you have any opinions? "
Kong Gaozhuo was the first to respond to the call, stood up and responded loudly: "What your Excellency said is absolutely true. I will only follow your Majesty's lead."
Immediately afterwards, the officials and aristocratic families standing on Tietang's side also began to stand up and respond, but their number was small after all, and they seemed a little lacking in momentum.
Tie Tang intended to make a quick decision and added fuel to the fire: "If you have any objections, you may as well say it bluntly. This is the welcome hall, a place to welcome guests, not Tie's one-word hall."
What he said sounded nice, but who dared to be the first to stand up and object at this time?
The Lu family has spoken, and together with Tie Tang and the forces around and behind him, they are enough to dominate the entire Qingshui City.
Apart from the four major families joining forces, which one can compete?
As for the Si, Gou, Ji, and Yang families, they were hesitant for a while because they could not figure out the Lu family's ambiguous attitude, and did not dare to give up easily.
No matter which family becomes the prey of the Lu family and Tie Tang...
The other three companies will probably not help, and may even be happy to see the success, or even add insult to injury.
The risk here is too great to be worth taking.
Anyway, the formation has not been completed yet, but it has been tentatively determined that there is such a thing. There is still a lot of room for maneuver inside, and the four family heads do not take it to heart.
"Okay, since no one has any objections, let's settle the matter for now. It's Tie's fault for bothering you all to come here today, and I apologize to you here."
"Master Tie, you're welcome."
"It's a matter of duty, not to mention trouble."
"If nothing happens, sir, I'll take my leave first."
"You guys can help yourself!"
After receiving the approval, the entire hall immediately dispersed. Before long, only Tie Tang's staff and two incompatible heads of the aristocratic family were left.
Neither Lu Yuande nor Si Guangji left.
"You two, this is..."
Lu Yuande did not hide anything. He walked up to Miao Shan and bowed deeply: "Can you ask Bodhisattva to move to the Lu family for a banquet?"
"Master, don't go, this guy doesn't look like a good person." How could Tian Wen watch Lu Yuande robbing someone.
Miao Shan ignored it and said in a soft voice: "If you have any important matters, you might as well speak up here."
"This... I'm afraid it's inconvenient."
The jade Ruyi in Miaoshan's hand swayed slightly, and the environment around her and Lu Yuande became distorted and illusory, like thousands of overlapping scenes falling into the boundless space.
The rest of the people present could not feel their aura at all.
After the two disappeared, Tie Tang looked at Si Guangji and knew that he was here to find him.
"The general is busy with military affairs, so it would be better not to wait for a long time."
"Master Tie, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Zhen Guandong said angrily from the side: "What's going on? Are you so shameless? This is inconvenient, and you have to take a step to talk about that."
Tie Long and Tie Niu also started joking, obviously wanting to know what was going on.
"These are my closest friends and relatives. General, just say whatever you want."
Si Guangji pondered for a moment and looked around at everyone: "I have clues about the cult, are you sure you want them to hear it too?
Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing. "

The streets that used to be bustling with people are now desolate.
The sandy dirt road that used to be bustling with people is no longer noisy now.
Only blood and mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper were left, indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck deep in the mud, full of sadness. Only an abandoned rabbit doll hung on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of eerieness.
The turbid eyes seemed to have some residual resentment, looking lonely at the mottled rocks in front of them.
There, a figure was lying down.
This was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, his clothes were torn and covered with dirt, and he had a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The young man squinted his eyes and remained motionless. The biting cold penetrated his worn coat from all directions and spread throughout his body, gradually taking away his body temperature.
