The rich uncle called, and of course Xiao Er came very quickly. The boy also handed him a silver ingot, and asked him to help him buy a snack from the street, so that he would not have to look for change.

Xiao Er was naturally happy, and Yan Saburo patted him on the shoulder: "By the way, I still have something to ask you." ”

"You ask, just ask. Xiao Er's attention was all ahead, and he didn't pay attention to the cat behind him, and a wisp of red smoke came out of his mouth and quietly drifted into his ears.

Then, his gaze gradually became glazed.

"When we first came to Pantugou, we were very curious, where is the City Lord's Mansion here?"

"Walking east along the street, I saw two big apricot trees and turned left into the main road, and the largest and most conspicuous building was. Xiao Er's voice was dull, and his eyes were blank.

"Alright. "Chitose is happy with his methods," he said now. ”

"Your supernatural powers can come out of the White Angel?" Yan Saburo looked sideways. In the past, she could only perform all kinds of Dafa at night. It's not yet time to go out, and you can see the sun when you push the window out.

"Cultivation is diligent. The white cat glanced at him, "Do you think that only you can grow?"

"I've tended to stagnation. Yan Saburo corrected her. His "Dragon Feeding Formula" is only one step away from reaching the realm of "returning to the yuan", but this step is really difficult.

"The stronger my cultivation, the weaker the binding power of the wooden bell will be on me. Chitose didn't hide it from him at this time, "You already knew, right?"

"I just heard about it today. "Listen to her.

"Hmph. She didn't believe it, this kid had more eyes than a sieve, and he had already secretly pondered it, right?

"What about other supernatural powers, can they be used as well?" Chitose revealed more and more abilities during the day. Will one day she be able to take on a human form during the day?

"Think beautifully. She rolled her eyes, "Only this innocuous little spell will do." She turned to Xiao Er: "How many years have you been working in this shop?"

"Nine years. ”

The smaller the place, the less often people change jobs. Some jobs are a lifetime to do.

"Do you know what happened on this street, and even in Pantugou?"

"I know a little bit. ”

That's easy to do, Chitose called him: "The city lord of Pantugou has a very good surname, where does it come from, and how did he climb to the position of this city lord? ”

The ghost of the Hidden Country plans to go to the city lord of Pantugou to get the news, firstly, it is inferred from common sense, and secondly, I am afraid that there is some basis. Yan Saburo is an outsider, and these gossips have to be inquired about by locals.

"The city lord's name is Wu Ling, who killed the old city lord three years ago and seized power to succeed to the throne. ”

Yan Saburo raised his eyebrows. But the name "Wu Ling" is so familiar, where did you hear it before?

Controlled by the soul dementorship, Xiao Er turned on the Q&A mode.

Yan Saburo also pieced together a rough idea from his answer.

It turned out that this Wu city lord was a nobleman who moved from other places a few years ago, and he started a lot of business in Pantu City, and because of his strong force, he was appreciated by the old city lord. Who knew that he suddenly staged a coup d'état three years ago, captured the city lord's mansion overnight, and then chopped off the old city lord's head with a knife, and proclaimed himself the new master of the city.

He also had a number of elites under him, and it didn't take much effort to defeat the besiegers, and he raised his butcher's knife against the opponents in Pan Tugou.

In this way, after only a few days, Pan Tugou changed hands.

Since then, the new townsman has run the place like an iron bucket. However, he was very ruthless to officials, but he was kind to the people, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

When Chitose heard this, he couldn't help but be disdainful: "What kind of weakness has the local power of Pan Tu City become, so that it can be easily taken down by an outsider?"

This matter can be called unbelievable in the outside continent, whether it is Liang State or Wei Guo, its officials and military system are extremely powerful, such as Shengyi, outsiders are excluded and despised, and they may not be able to squeeze into the circle of the upper magnates, let alone seize power - even Han Zhao, as the protector of the country, holds the power of defending the country and horses, and does not dare to usurp the throne.

Pan Tucheng was taken by a foreign nobleman with no foundation in one fell swoop, and a discerning person can see the problems exposed at a glance.

Xiao Er said dumbfoundedly: "More than ten years ago, Pan Tucheng was very strong, but after the epidemic and war, everyone is dying. ”

Plague and war? Yan Saburo thought that the oil cake stall owner in Pingxiang had also mentioned it, and couldn't help frowning: "Where did the plague come from in Taoyuan?"

"I don't know, anyway, it broke out more than ten years ago, and everyone died village by village, town by town, and city by city. Xiao Er had no reservations, "After the plague, there was another war, and it was fought for two or three years. Most of the people I know are gone. ”

Since then, the vitality of this world has been greatly damaged.

In this way, this place is not like a godsend, with the name of "peach source".

"Back to the city lord of Pantugou. Yan Saburo pulled back his thoughts, "What has he done in the past few years?"

"Fighting. ”

Chitose Qi said: "Are you still fighting?"

"He trained the army to fight a few cities, and the city of Pantu became stronger and bigger. Xiao Er said dumbfoundedly, "He is very good at fighting, he gives everyone money again, and everyone likes him very much." ”

Chitose took a sip: "What kind of city lord is this, it's clearly a robber!"

With just one sentence, she understood. This new city lord's way of governance is not to recuperate, but to expand and plunder with a knife and a gun!

The surrounding towns are out of luck, and if they don't obey, they will be robbed.

However, while eating meat, the city lord did not forget to let other people drink soup, and Pan Tugou got the wealth of other cities, and it developed and prospered.

Yan Saburo asked, "Why haven't you heard of Pan Tucheng fighting with which side recently?" Otherwise, he and Bai Ling would have heard the rumors of war all the way.

"I haven't played lately. Xiao Er replied, "I didn't fight until a year ago." ”

"Why?"

"I don't know. Xiao Er didn't think about it at this time, "I just didn't fight." ”

He also confessed another thing:

After taking office, the mayor of the new city reduced his taxes, but began to survey the accounts of the city's residents. Permanent residents moving in and out of Pantu City have to go through procedures and wait for approval.

Needless to say, the city lord is also aware of the importance of population control.

Seeing that he couldn't ask for any other clues, Chitose put away his soul dementorship. Xiao Er shuddered and woke up.

"Alright. Yan Saburo pointed to the center of the street, "Go and go back quickly." ”

Xiao Er let out an "oh" and went out to buy snacks for the rich master.

Seeing the door closed, the white cat turned his head sideways and took two steps back and forth: "The grass-headed city lord who only ascended to the throne three years ago, how much do you think he knows about Taoyuan and the realm of dying?"

The young man sat down and said slowly, "I'll know at night." ”
