Chapter 1 City Lord

He had no clue, so much trouble. Ai Ming sat on the second floor of the restaurant, holding a small wine glass and playing with it. The other hand supported his chin and stared at the dilapidated street scene outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking. Things were really bad. Just when Ai Ming first entered the city, he keenly discovered that there were many malicious eyes among the pedestrians in the city monitoring them, and these eyes were so blatant. It was obvious that the situation had already happened to the most dangerous stage.

"Master, what are you watching? We have been here for half an hour." Dongmei couldn't sit still. She was still thinking about the weak little slaves in the manor and wanted to go back and take care of her earlier.

"Oh." Ai Ming woke up, turned his head and smiled at Dongmei, and said, "Okay, let's go now." After that, he called the clerk to settle the account and got up and went downstairs. Ai Ming's purpose was very clear. Without understanding, the main thing now is to get the support of the lord of Tielu City. Chen Zhu hadn't seen the lord of the city in the past few times, but this time it was different. Ai Ming decided to meet the lord of the city in the upper city even if he used force.

Is this the City Lord's Mansion? Ai Ming looked disappointed and looked up at a dilapidated courtyard in front of him. The courtyard seemed to have not been repaired for more than a few hundred years. There were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and there was even a big hole in the wall around the corner. Ai Ming glanced at the mentally sanctified guard in front of the gate and turned to Chen Zhu and said, "Chen Zhu, is that right? Is this really the City Lord's Mansion?"

Ai Ming's voice was a little loud, which attracted the attention of the guards looking at the gate. Chen Zhu smiled at the people awkwardly, and approached Ai Mingsheng and whispered: "This is indeed the city lord's mansion. I was also surprised when I first came, but I got used to it after seeing it too much."

Ai Ming was really surprised. Could it be that the mansion of a city lord was so dilapidated that no one was gossiping? Was that city lord so stingy that he would not want to repair the big hole in the wall? No way? As far as Ai Ming knows, the bribes they gave to the city lord over the past few months were enough to regain a very decent mansion.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Chen? Why are you free to come today?" The guard standing on the steps finally couldn't stand and ran down to Chen Zhu and laughed at him, looking at Ai Ming with his eyes.

Chen Zhu smiled and said, "This is Mr. Wen. We are here to pay homage to the city lord this time. Please inform me." After that, Chen Zhu took out some money and handed it over quietly.

The guard sneakily reached out to take the money, put it in his arms, and laughed and said, "Mr. Chen is always polite, sorry. I'll go and report it now, but I can't guarantee that I won't see you. I've been in a bad mood these days and haven't seen a guest for a long time." After saying that, he bowed to Ai Ming and the others, and turned around and went in.

Ai Ming and Chen Zhu stood outside the door waiting for the news. As for Dongmei and Qiuju, they hid in a flower shop next to them and went to play. These two girls were getting less and less afraid of Ai Ming. They knew that Ai Ming loved them very much and couldn't bear to say anything heavy. Now that the sun was sunny, they of course left their masters and went to the side to cool off.

Something was wrong. Ai Ming looked at the closed door of the City Lord's Mansion in confusion. Why did the guard stop leaving when he arrived at the Second Gate? He even took out a small wine pot from his arms, drank two sips of wine and hummed a small song?

"Hey, Dadani, you're lazy here again. If you let the superior know that you're going to feel better." The doorman at the Second Door canceled the guard, snatched the wine pot from him and took a sip of the wine.

"Haha, what are you afraid of? Master Chen from the Black Tiger Manor is here again. Even if the head knows, he won't say anything about me." The guard said with a smile.

"Is that?" the concierge was happy when he heard this and said, "Congratulations, it seems that you have made another profit."

"Where is that, although Master Chen gave a lot of money, everyone is not a single point, but," the guard deliberately paused, looked at the envious expression of the doorman, and said, "But I'll treat you tonight, let's have a good chat, how about it."

"That's good." The doorman was waiting for this sentence. He shook the wine pot in his hand. Seeing that there was not much wine, he quickly went back to the house to make some wine, and then came out and handed it to the guards with a pleasant look.

Ai Ming, outside the city lord's mansion, frowned and listened to the farce inside, and snorted coldly. If he hadn't understood the technique of "seeing the sky and hearing the earth", he would have been deceived by the guard. Ai Ming was unwilling to wait any longer, so he opened his mouth and made a silent sound. This sound went straight to the inner mansion through many obstacles.

The study room of the city lord's mansion.

"Good characters, good characters, the city lord is indeed worthy of being the number one talented man in the Yasi Empire, and he is not admired." A terrier in a fancy and whistle-like manner flattered. His white hair was scattered like a straw-like face, his black face full of bumps showed a smile that could make a child cry, his body was hunched over like a bamboo pole, his eyes staring at a copybook that was about to be completed, revealing a greedy look.

"Tielu is stormy and rain, and I see ghosts walking at night. The fallen leaves are not plowing alone, and the cold moon is guarding the night. The empty room is lonely and the distant mountains are red. The beggar slaves are holding the whip, and they rise and fall again." The city lord was not disturbed by the Trilliman. The iron-cut silver hook is actually an authentic thin gold body. If Ai Ming is watching next to him, he must be ashamed. Although he has also learned calligraphy, compared with the city lord's calligraphy, it is like dust and pearls.

"Oh, what a pity." The Trilliman shouted and shook his head with regret. He saw that the last stroke of the copybook was about to be finished, but somehow the city lord's hand shook, and an ink bead splashed from the sheep's hair, covering the word "Fu".

The city lord put down his pen and sighed, "A guest is here."

"What do you think?" The Trillitin man disagreed and diligently laid another piece of rice paper on the table, pressed it with paperweight, and said, "Write quickly, I'm still waiting."

The city lord shook his head and said, "I'm not in the mood." After that, he turned his head and ordered Shutong to help change his clothes, left the study and walked to the living room, and then instructed the servants, "Turn in the people from outside the mansion."

Ai Ming and others came down to the living room under Shutong's leadership. They saw an old man with five willow beards standing quietly, like an old green pine, so strange, upright, harmonious and natural. Needless to ask, this is the lord of Tielu Castle. Ai Ming was very surprised. He didn't expect the lord to look like this. In his impression, all officials such as corrupt officials had a big belly, a face full of oil, squinted small eyes, and smiled with big black teeth. (Don't blame Ai Ming, he is a good young man poisoned by TV dramas.) But this cruel and greedy city lord actually looked very kind and smiled so kind, which was really weird. What surprised Ai Ming even more was that this person was actually a yellow person.

"I'll pay homage to the city lord in the following article." Ai Ming drove away a few steps, came to the city lord, gave a deep bow, and said, "I'm not surprised when I'm down."

The city lord also looked at Ai Ming in surprise. He didn't expect that the person who created the Black Tiger Manor was such an ordinary person. Oh, it's time to think about it carefully. "Master Wen, please get up quickly, come, please sit down." The city lord laughed and pulled Ai Ming up, let Ai Ming sit down in the guest seat, and at the same time signaled Chen Zhu and others who came to Ai Ming to sit down.

After everyone sat down, the host and the servants got the coffee. The city lord raised his glass and took a sip, and everyone drank it. The city lord then said, "Master Wen is really a rare guest. I wonder if there is anything wrong with Master Wen coming to find me this time?"

Before Ai Ming could speak, Chen Zhu next to him was unable to wait and said impatiently: "My Lord, I have been down many times, but every time I am blocked by the guards in your mansion." Chen Zhu just learned from Ai Ming that every time he came here, the guards did not notify the lord at all, and he hated those who took the money and did not do anything.

Ai Ming glanced at Chen Zhu, secretly blaming him for not being able to do things, and hurriedly said, "Don't blame me, lord..."

Before Ai Ming finished speaking, the city lord waved his hand and said, "If you can't even see me, then there is no need for the Black Tiger Manor to exist."

Ai Ming's face changed, and the city lord spoke so directly. "Okay, the city lord is really happy, and I don't plan to hide it anymore. Yes, my Heihu Manor has some small problems. I hope the city lord can solve it." Ai Ming's tone also changed. It seems that his actions in Heihu Mountain were not hidden from it. It seems that the city lord who doesn't care about everything on the surface and only knows how to collect money. Then, let's just say it out loud. Ai Ming made up his mind that if there is something wrong, he should start first. Anyway, he has no other money. If there is too much money, he can't start over.

The city lord smiled slightly, and didn't say anything. He just took a cup and drank a sip of coffee, closed his eyes and calmed down. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what this old guy meant, but he was embarrassed to disturb him. Everyone guessed in their hearts that this old guy wouldn't be old and fell asleep.

After a while, the city lord opened his eyes, looked around everyone, and sighed inwardly. He thought that this boy named Wen Zhang was a little more capable, but he didn't expect that the donkey dung egg was shiny on the surface. He couldn't even understand the strong suggestion. What else could he have? It seems that he should make another plan.

Ai Ming didn't know that some people who are well-behaved like to play puzzles for people. He didn't notice that the city lord closed his eyes and thought deeply was for him to see. In fact, the city lord meant that I didn't know anything and didn't care about anything. You can play whatever you like. The city lord can do this, which can give Heihu Manor a lot of face.

"I am tired, please come back." After the city lord said that, he closed his eyes and ignored Ai Ming and others. He was too lazy to even serve tea and see off guests. He was afraid that Ai Ming couldn't even understand this meaning, and in the end he had to speak out and chase people.

Ai Ming couldn't sit upright, and he also saw that he had lived in Mount Indra for a long time, and there were many people who were more outrageous than him. However, in this way, Ai Ming's impression of the city lord was greatly improved. In his opinion, people who could be so arrogant must be very capable.

Thinking of this, Ai Ming laughed, stood up, bowed deeply to the city lord, and said, "The city lord is indeed a master, and I admire him."

The city lord opened his eyes and looked at Ai Ming with no interest. Ai Ming's trick was too artificial. He originally thought that although Ai Ming and others were not so eye-catching, they just let go of it because of their filial piety to him. But when he saw this, it would be better to take care of such a person who was ignorant of advancing and retreating.

"The city lord doesn't know anything. I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of money. To be honest, the Black Tiger Manor is still not in my mind. If the city lord is interested, it will be regarded as a gift for the city lord. But..." At this point, Ai Ming paused for a moment and looked up at the city lord.

The city lord seemed to have nothing on the surface, but his heart was turbulent. He never expected Ai Ming to say this. The city lord thought, since this is called "Wen Wen" can have such a big tone, is there anything tricky? Humph, I heard that the player has hidden dragons and tigers. When I saw it today, it was indeed worthy of its reputation. Of course, this article can only be called a kitten, and I think there is someone behind him to control it. Haha, it's interesting, let's see how this kid continues to act. Thinking of this, the city lord glanced at Ai Ming and closed his eyes.

Ai Ming smiled awkwardly, right? He wasn't even moved? Alas, it was all because of no one around him. Otherwise, how could he fall to the point of becoming a lobbyist? Ai Ming couldn't help but miss Qingye. "But there is another suggestion below. I want to ask the city lord to be the butler of the Black Tiger Manor. Everything in the Black Tiger Manor is followed by the city lord's arrangements. I wonder what the city's idea is?"

As soon as Ai Ming finished speaking, even Lan Ruo and Chen Zhu were stunned by his side. They were very doubtful that their ears had heard something wrong. Ai Ming just said that he would give the Black Tiger Manor to the city lord as a meeting gift, but in a blink of an eye, he only asked the city lord to be a housekeeper. If he was so inverted, the city lord would not regard them as fools.

What they didn't expect was that the city lord seemed very interested and opened his eyes. "Oh? Are you really relieved to hand over the Black Tiger Manor to me?"

"Don't worry, of course, don't worry. I believe you will be able to satisfy me." Ai Ming said here and laughed.

"Okay, I will be this housekeeper, but whether I can be a long time depends on whether you can keep me." After saying that, the city lord stood up, walked over with a smile, and stretched out his palm.

"Ba." Ai Ming and the city lord had a cunt, which was considered to have made a covenant. At this time, Ai Ming spoke: "Since the city lord is so happy, I'm not polite. I have a question below that I would like to ask the city lord, but I don't know if the city lord can answer it."

"Please talk to Master Wen." The city lord was twisting his beard with a reserved look, looking very satisfied.

"I don't know what the city lord is, I still don't know." After Ai Ming said that, he laughed, he really didn't know.

The city lord Yi Yan suddenly burst into laughter. He originally thought that Ai Ming was just an ignorant, but now he is going to look at him with admiration. "Thank you for your inquiry, my name is Ji Tieshan."

In the next six months, Tielu Fort experienced earth-shaking changes. At the beginning, people were puzzled why Ai Ming believed in an outsider so much and handed over the entire Black Tiger Manor to Ji Tieshan, but now they were convinced. So every time they saw Ai Ming, they always showed admiration, which made Ai Ming very vain. What they didn't expect was that in their eyes, Ji Tieshan, who was hypocritical and greedy, was so stupid that his cunning was so deep that it was shocking.

However, Ji Tieshan, the lord of Tielu Castle, smiled bitterly. After half a year, he had found his place, that he was a good executor, but not a good decision-maker. This made him very unwilling to accept it. Do you really have to be a subordinate of human beings for the rest of your life? But what can I do? Ji Tieshan knew very well that if he had set up his own business, he would never be as glorious as he is now. What bothered Ji Tieshan was that although the guy named Wen was his decision-maker in name, he was definitely incompetent. Forget it, let's just let it go first and then change it later.

Tielu Fort has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past six months. With Ji Tieshan's extraordinary skills, the Black Tiger Manor is no longer discriminated against by locals. On the contrary, they have to rely on the Black Tiger Manor to survive. The reason is simple, because three-quarters of the land around Tielu Fort has been in the hands of the Black Tiger Manor, and the best hotel restaurant shops in the city have become the industry of the Black Tiger Manor, and even the tentacles of the Black Tiger Manor have reached the boundaries of several surrounding cities.

All of this, except with Ai Ming's financial support, Ji Tieshan's contribution was the greatest. Outsiders never expected that the two major underworld forces in Tielu Fort, the Philippine Group, which is mainly engaged in Goldfinger's business in the east of the city and the Falu Group, which is mainly engaged in the west of the city, are all Ji Tieshan's chess pieces, and there are many bright and dark industries in Tielu Fort that are owned by Ji Tieshan.

Now the underworld group centered on the Black Tiger Manor has begun to take shape. Of course, there are also the contributions of the slaves under the Black Tiger Manor. The promise has been made by the owner of the big manor that they can become slaves who are free people in the near future. The farming team composed of them scrambled to plant autumn wheat under the purpose of self-reliance and hard work, and the harvest will be a great harvest; the paramilitary organization called the "Rural Self-Defense Force" formed by them has also been on track, and it is no longer the chaotic crowd that scattered in one fight.

Xiao Yun and others' initial hostility towards Ji Tieshan has become an indispensable helper for Ji Tieshan. It is a major change. Their open and secret struggles are worthy of being written, (but these are not within the scope of this book, so it is just overridden.) But in the end, Ji Tieshan conquered them with an overwhelming advantage, making them admit that Jiang is still the old one.

However, the only thing that makes people feel unhappy is that with the help of many good teachers and friends, Ai Ming has no change at all. He is wandering around every day, traveling around, and doing nothing except paying money. He even fell in love with a very cute village girl in the past six months and tried to make a fuss. When he was about to succeed, Lan Ruo, who was keen on, discovered that not only did not eat fishy food, but he received the punishment he deserved.

Life is like this day by day, and everything seems to be so smooth until one day...
