A flowing water feast is being held in the town at this time.
The streets were filled with gongs and drums and crowds of people.
Children happily gathered around a large yard for candy.
The owner of the big courtyard, Mr. Hong, who is also a wealthy man in this town and calls himself the Rat Taoist, is celebrating his seventieth birthday.
He was sitting in the main room with three doors open, accepting congratulations from relatives, friends and fellow tribesmen.
After congratulations from those who are close to you and have deep backgrounds, you can go to the house to drink tea.
If you have a normal relationship and a normal background, after giving gifts, you will know how to leave the courtyard and eat at the flowing water table.
Outside the compound, a dozen middle-aged wealthy men in luxurious and extraordinary clothes gathered in the attic of a restaurant, staring at the activities in the yard with somewhat complicated expressions.
"This Taoist Rat's show is getting bigger and bigger."
"Originally he was just a cook from our Ma family. I don't know how much luck our ancestors accumulated, but he actually became a success!"
A middle-aged man with a slender figure who seemed to be the leader of this group of wealthy people said with a somewhat annoyed tone:
"Now they are even trying to get their hands on our property. This is simply challenging the order of our Red Shao Town!"
"That's right, this Rat Taoist has gone too far over the years relying on those big rats."
Several people around the middle-aged man immediately echoed:
"We in Chishao Town will not allow such arrogant people to exist!"
"The last proposal, now that everyone is here, they must have made up their minds!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was enough, the middle-aged man from the Ma family who was the leader began to get to the point.
They are all wealthy landlords who have been operating in Chishao Town for many years.
The Ma family, the leader, has people who have been working for Jinque City officials for generations. If everyone has something to do, the Ma family will often take the lead in handling it.
Their family, judging from the history of Aquamarine Star, can already be called a squire's family.
However, this seemingly stable and beautiful order to them was broken when the Rat Taoist returned home in old age.
This rat Taoist is not a monk, and he has no immortal status, but he has the ability to control rats.
And those rats are not extraordinary, but they are far more ferocious and powerful than normal rats.
As a result, these local snakes were robbed of a lot of benefits by this powerful dragon!
In the past few years, the members of the Shu Daoren clan have often been jealous and had fights with the younger generations of other clans.
It is no wonder that the public outrage gradually aroused, and the Ma family found an opportunity to take advantage of the other party's extravagant behavior to once again arouse everyone's dissatisfaction and plan to work together to deal with this person.
Their method is not clever but very effective.
It was the Ma family who took the lead and asked each family to donate a sum of money, and asked the Ma family to go to Jinque City to find a few warriors or even casual cultivators to challenge the Taoist Rat to sneak attack.
The young people in the Ma family listened to the wealthy people around them one by one expressing their agreement to donate their belongings.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, and he felt a little proud in his heart.
In fact, the Ma family, as the largest squire in Chishao Town, could suppress the arrogance of Taoist Rat simply by using the offering as a trump card.
No matter how talented the Rat Taoist is, he is just a heretic. Ordinary people may not be able to come up with a solution, but they can easily find a solution by consulting a monk.
It's just that you can't use your own trump card easily. What else can you call a trump card if you throw it out easily?
And if you just take action like this, how can you still make money?
The leader of the Ma family has settled the score in his mind.
The money given by my family and cronies will be repaid in full.
Other families spent 30% of their money to find help from relatives in the city, and the remaining 70% was their own hard-earned money.
Don’t think that 70% of the effort is too much.
Just like this, how many people want to find a way to make this money but still can’t find it!
"Everyone, please wait a moment. I have brought a bottle of good wine from Golden Bird City in the past few days. I will drink it with you all!"
The young people in the Ma family were very satisfied. With a glance, they were about to ask their confidants to bring out the prepared drinks.
suddenly!
The exclamations on the street attracted the attention of these wealthy people.
They came to the window and stared wide-eyed as they saw a luxury carriage that they could not afford, pulled by four pure white tall horses, slowly passing through the street.
Along the way, the flow of people celebrating Rat Taoist's birthday spontaneously parted and gave way to the road like the tide meeting a rock.
Even the most unsophisticated villagers can tell from the decoration of the carriage and the tall horse pulling the carriage that the noble person in this carriage is beyond words!
"hiss!"
The carriage came to a stop at the gate of Taoist Rat's compound.
The old man from Ma's family who had been to Golden Bird City took a breath of air-conditioning. He recognized what the decoration of the carriage meant.
"It's the inspector of Golden Bird City!"
"The monk who came down from the Immortal Sect to enjoy the blessing!"
"How could he... such a noble being come to visit this Taoist Rat!"
The young man in the Ma family murmured to himself, hoping that the other party just happened to be passing by, or simply had a grudge against the rat Taoist!
However, soon, a young man following the carriage carried a gift box into the large courtyard. He explained his purpose to the rat Taoist and others who were standing up in a hurry, and asked the receptionist to shout out the gift list.
The young people in the Ma family and other local wealthy people who could hear clearly were all greatly shaken. Their hands and feet felt cold, and a look of fear appeared on their faces.
How come this Taoist Rat is related to the real Immortal Sect monk?
The key is that this monk... is still the supervisor of Golden Bird City! In theory, he is their current supervisor!
The expression of the young man in Ma's family changed wildly, he stopped drinking, turned his head and fiercely glanced at the wealthy people attending the meeting, and whispered:
"Everyone should pretend that what happened today never happened!"
"We are all old acquaintances. You should know that even if you are an inspector, the most you can do to our Ma family is to break our bones."
"But if our Ma family knows who leaked the news, I don't think any of you here can bear the anger of us!"
…………
Taoist Rat took the initiative to stand at the door of the courtyard, completely unaware that Su Ping's arrival had invisibly saved him a man-made disaster.
He looked at Su Ping, who came out of the carriage with some frustration and uneasiness. He was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament.
He quickly saluted and welcomed Su Ping into the main room.
As soon as the two entered the main room, the door was closed tightly.
The servants of Taoist Rat and Su Ping spontaneously guarded the door to prevent outsiders from approaching.
inside the house.
Su Ping directly explained his intention.
It actually made Master Shu a little surprised.
It's not that he doesn't want to give up what he has learned. His ability to control rats cannot be compared to that of a monk.
He was just surprised that such a heretic could be liked by the Immortal Sect monks, and he was a little flattered!
The Rat Taoist took out his own tips on how to train rats.
He also told Su Ping everything about the origin of his abilities, but there was another chance. It was an ancient record obtained from a cave when he was young.
He practiced accordingly, and then spent most of his life trying to improve, and only then did he have the skills he has now.
Taoist Rat demonstrated his method to Su Ping again.
The Rat Taoist blew a whistle, and hundreds of big rats with black hair and red eyes emerged from the rat holes, and marched in formation like a military formation under the Rat Taoist's instructions.
Su Ping was amazed by this and decided to recruit Taoist Rat to become his guest minister.
"Come to Golden Bird City and help me prepare your strong rat potion."
"Also, the title of Taoist Rat... let's change it to another one."
