The sky is slightly bright.
Lang Ping's face was covered with dust and his clothes were dirty. At this time, he was limping back to the city.
After returning to the mansion, Lang Ping changed his clothes and didn't even bother to take a shower. He immediately called his servants and ordered them to go to the academy and call Xu Miao.
The servants didn't know what happened, but they didn't ask anything and just followed Lang Ping's instructions.
Xu Miao came to Lang Ping's mansion with his head held high. Just like last time, he didn't knock on the door this time. He walked directly across the threshold and sat down opposite Lang Ping. He shook his fan and said proudly: "Master Lang." What's going on? You went to plow the fields last night?"
Lang Ping twitched the corners of his lips. If Xu Miao dared to talk to him like this before, he would be the first to do it!
But at this time, Lang Ping put away his anger and said in a good voice: "Xu Miao, I know that you are well-known in the academy and are a good material for studying. That gentleman also came to see me last night. What did that gentleman mean? I want you to take my place in the city."
Lang Ping is still a smart man after all. Although he guessed everything, he was still ready to continue the play.
If he doesn't act and directly confronts Xu Miao, his life will be gone by then.
After hearing this, Xu Miao immediately said excitedly: "That's great. Thank you, Mr. Lang, for speaking kindly in front of you."
Lang Ping waved his hand and said it was all trivial matters. He stood up and walked to the bookcase. He turned on a mechanism to reveal a hidden compartment. He took out a list from the hidden compartment, put it on the table and ordered: "These people They are all my subordinates in the city, and they will listen directly to your orders from now on."
With that said, Lang Ping also handed over his dagger.
Xu Miao smiled and took the dagger, picked up the list again, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Lang. I just don't know what Mr. Lang will be responsible for in the city in the future?"
Lang Ping laughed and said: "Master Xu doesn't need to worry about my affairs. As long as Master Xu handles the affairs in the city well, the Ten Thousand Demons Association will naturally not treat Master Xu badly."
Hearing that his title had changed from Xu Miao to Master Xu, Xu Miao couldn't help laughing.
The right came so quickly that he couldn't believe it for a while.
However, he soon became immersed in his own joy, and he was too lazy to think about what the problem was behind it.
After Xu Miao left, Lang Ping leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling, his eyes dull.
Soon, he ordered his servants to withdraw all the money stored in the bank at home, and he also began to pack up and pay tribute.
When a servant came to inform Lang Ping that two people from the Ministry of Personnel and Household Affairs invited Lang Ping to the restaurant for a chat, Lang Ping asked the servant to take care of his health and left it to his confidant Xu Miao to take care of it. .
After sorting out all this, Lang Ping was in no hurry to leave the city.
He also wanted to observe it. After all, the Ten Thousand Demons Association is very capable, and Gu Xiaotian may not be his opponent. If the Ten Thousand Demons Association wins, he can also jump out and say that he has penetrated into Gu Xiaotian's inner circle. .
In short, people like him don't need to use their brains to make up lies. They just open their mouths.
…
…
Xu Miao took the newly acquired rights and became the most eye-catching person in Sage Academy.
At first, many subordinates were unconvinced, thinking that Xu Miao was lying, and scorned him.
It wasn't until Xu Miao slapped Lang Ping's dagger on the table that all the subordinates shut their mouths, but Xu Miao followed suit.
Gu Xiaotian secretly observed for two days. There were still five days left before the time on the letter, so he came to the inn again.
Sun Dayong had been waiting in the inn. When he saw Gu Xiaotian coming, he immediately came forward and said, "Brother Gu, how is things going?"
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother Sun, don't worry, everything is under my control. I just need to trouble Brother Sun about one thing."
"Brother Gu, please speak."
"I hope Brother Sun can help me find out which of the scholars in the city, as well as the prisoners in the cells and the families in the city, have received invitations from the Ten Thousand Demons Association. As long as you get in touch with them, you can also declare that you are right." How you worship the Ten Thousand Demons Society, it is best for everyone in this city to worship the Ten Thousand Demons Society."
Sun Dayong scratched his head and glanced at Gu Xiaotian in disbelief.
What's going on with this old brother?
Could it be that this ancient brother is actually a member of the Ten Thousand Demons Association and is actually taking advantage of him?
But looking at the upright appearance of his old brother, Sun Dayong is really unwilling to equate him with the Ten Thousand Demons Society. Moreover, Sun Dayong is an out-and-out ancient blower, so he naturally has some sympathy for people with the surname Gu. I liked it, and after thinking about it for a while, I nodded and agreed.
With Sun Dayong's appeal in the underground area of the city, it is not difficult to get the news. As for spreading news, Sun Dayong is extremely good at it.
Sun Dayong immediately started to do it, while Gu Xiaotian went up to the second floor and waited quietly for Xu Miao's arrival.
On the second floor, Xiao Yinyin became more and more excited as she thought about it, and whispered: "It's so exciting."
Gu Xiaotian asked with a smile: "Where is the excitement?"
Xiao Yinyin made a face and said with a smile: "It's exciting to think about how these people are being played around. I can't wait to see what their expressions will be like when they find out the truth."
Gu Xiaotian smiled and shook his head, "They won't know the truth."
Xiao Yinyin glanced at Gu Xiaotian suspiciously.
Gu Xiaotian made a gesture of wiping his neck, "These people will die before they know the truth."
Xiao Yinyin dragged her cheeks and sighed: "Your heart is too cold, and you are becoming more and more decisive in killing people."
Gu Xiaotian was also a little helpless.
Since leaving Taibai, his heart has gradually become colder.
You know, the horse last night was innocent, but Gu Xiaotian still got rid of it without hesitation.
Gu Xiaotian looked out the window and said in a helpless tone: "If I don't kill them, they will kill me..."
…
…
Xu Miao walked into the inn and immediately received applause from the whole room.
Now Xu Miao is a famous person, especially among scholars, and he has won a lot of applause.
Immediately, someone came up to please Xu Miao. Xu Miao enjoyed this kind of flattery very much. He briefly exchanged greetings with the scholars downstairs for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "I know what you think, but Ten Thousand Demons will accept people for their own purposes." Standard, please keep your hearts in mind first, Xu will definitely give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes."
Several scholars with better family backgrounds immediately understood the implication of Xu Miao's words, and secretly stuffed Xu Miao with a lot of money while others were not paying attention.
Xu Miao quietly accepted the silver coins, smiled at a few people, and whispered: "I remember your faces, wait for my news."
The few scholars waved goodbye, and some even went more exaggerated. Knowing that Xu Miao was going upstairs, they said that the stairs were too dirty and were willing to let Xu Miao step on their backs to go upstairs.
This move was really exaggerated, and Xu Miao didn't expect it. He just waved his hand and declined, then went upstairs and came to the room where Gu Xiaotian was.
Xu Miao straightened his expression and knocked on the door gently.
There was a sound of entering the room, and Xu Miao gently opened the door and came in.
After coming in, Xu Miao put away the condescending look downstairs. Instead, he said something condescending to your Excellency in a low voice, and then stood up obediently.
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Xu Miao, are you quite popular in the city recently?"
Xu Miao waved his hands repeatedly and said: "How can I? I just used your name to show off my power. How can I compare with you?"
Gu Xiaotian was amused. A scholar's mouth can indeed speak.
Gu Xiaotian did not let Xu Miao continue to stand. After inviting him to take a seat, he asked: "Are there any objections in this city recently?"
Xu Miao shook his head and said: "Sir, you don't know something. Recently, everyone in this city worships the Ten Thousand Demons Society. As for the voices of opposition, they have been lost."
Gu Xiaotian pretended to think, then nodded and said: "You have done well, and you will definitely be rewarded heavily in the future."
When he heard the word "high reward", Xu Miao's eyes glowed with gold.
He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, sir."
Gu Xiaotian pressed his hand and said, "Don't be impatient. Before that, I still have something to ask you to do."
"Sir, please speak!"
"The people from the Sage Academy alone are not enough. During these days, you have to interact more with the people from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household Affairs. They also have many subordinates of the Ten Thousand Demons Society in this city. You will convey my will." In the past, I wanted you to take over the people of the Ten Thousand Demons Association in this city."
After hearing this, Xu Miao was full of surprise.
How much does this adult have to trust him?
Once upon a time, he was still a frustrated scholar, but now he is about to transform into the top leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Association in the city.
He seemed to see endless rights and mountains of gold waving towards him.
However, Xu Miao was still a little worried.
After all, he only has Lang Ping's dagger now, but in the final analysis, he is just a student of Sage Academy in this city. Although he has recently been promoted to the virtue director of Sage Academy, compared with the two senior officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs, he is It’s really not enough to watch.
Xu Miao hesitated and said, "Sir, it's okay, but I don't know if you can give me more rights."
Gu Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Miao with a curved corner of his mouth.
Once you have tasted the taste of power, it will be difficult to quit.
Gu Xiaotian asked: "What rights do you want?"
Xu Miao did not shy away from this and said bluntly: "I hope to sit directly in Lang Ping's position."
Gu Xiaotian looked at him, shook his head and smiled: "Your ambition is not small."
Looking at Gu Xiaotian's reaction, Xu Miao knew that this adult was not repulsive, and his tone was somewhat teasing. He also laughed and said: "My Lord, I just want some real power. After all, if When I go shopping on the street and don’t have a few taels of silver in my pocket, I always feel uneasy.”
Gu Xiaotian nodded. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he never had a good reason.
Now Xu Miao took the initiative, so he just walked down the slope and agreed: "It's up to you. Tomorrow you will go to Lang Ping's house to bring my will. If he dares to object, you only need to tell him Just two words: ruined temple."
When Xu Miao heard the word "broken temple", he thought about it but couldn't figure it out.
But he didn't intend to ask any more questions.
Is it okay to ask casually about adult matters?
Gu Xiaotian now seems to be the benefactor in Xu Miao's eyes.
He Xu Miao compares himself to that thousand-mile horse, and Gu Xiaotian is his Bole!
He immediately stood up and bowed: "I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Some people died, but not completely...
