Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses-Chapter 85 - 84 Busy Day
Chapter 85: Chapter 84 Busy Day
My big brother is still quite busy, so Yuchi and Wei Zhe chatted for a while and then parted ways.
As soon as Wei Zhe left, Xun Xian walked in with a look of strong suspicion in her eyes.
Her eyes were filled with intense bewilderment.
"How exactly did you do it?" Standing in front of Yuchi, her hand rested on the knife at her waist.
The way she looked, it seemed like if Yuchi didn’t speak the truth, she would chop Yuchi right there on the spot.
This girl was great in every way, except for being a bit temperamental.
Yuchi smiled, "I just explained some facts, and they agreed to my demands."
He walked towards the outside, with Xun Xian following behind him.
"Really?"
"This is basically asking someone for money, you know."
Xun Xian had a look of eager desire to know the actual situation.
She had just sent Wei Zhe and others into the chamber of commerce and then heard about the commotion inside.
At first, she didn’t pay much attention, thinking Yuchi might not have handled things well, and was planning to have Yuchi do something for her.
Otherwise, she considered making Yuchi run a lap around Xufu Town in women’s clothing?
But things turned out completely different.
She could hardly imagine that someone would actually pay money and still be so happy!
Especially Bai Rou.
That woman’s face was practically glowing, as if something incredible had happened between her and Yuchi.
Unbelievably pleased!
"You’ll understand the specifics in the afternoon; I’m not just being cryptic, but I need to visit the yamen."
Yuchi gestured to the silver notes in his hand; he needed to hand them to Yuan Wansong.
Stopping his steps inside the chamber of commerce, Xun Xian, resigned, said, "Go ahead, I can’t stand to look at Yuan Wansong."
"Really? Such a righteous person of the Demon-slaying Bureau, you say this, but now you can’t bear to look at him?" Yuchi teased.
"...You’re so petty, how many years will you hold on to this?" Xun Xian retorted with hands on her hips.
"Haha, remember to introduce me to your benefactor later." Yuchi reminded her with a smile.
"Got it."
Watching Yuchi leave, Xun Xian muttered, "How come I can’t seem to outsmart this cunning fox."
...
Yuchi took twenty silver notes of one thousand taels each to the yamen.
Inside the yamen, he found Chen Guangsheng and Yuan Wansong having a "friendly" conversation.
They looked like long-lost enemies meeting again, with fiery dialogues between them.
In Yuchi’s eyes, these two seemed like rabbits covered in weasel pelts.
With reddened eyes, they stared at each other, neither acknowledging the other as human.
Standing by the long table, Yuchi smiled, "Here are twenty thousand taels in silver notes, please take a look."
"Ah, President, you’ve arrived." Yuan Wansong dropped his quarrel with Chen Guangsheng and accepted the silver notes.
It really is twenty thousand taels?!
So fast? Does the Wei Family really have such stature?!
And hearing from Yuchi that the six families of the chamber of commerce each contributed, he was even more shocked.
How did he persuade these old foxes to cough up the money instantly?
Could it be that the world has changed, merchants are not profit-driven anymore, and have turned good?
That’s impossible.
Ignoring Yuan Wansong’s thoughts, Yuchi looked at Chen Guangsheng, "Later, I’ll need Uncle to take some folks from the Celestial Capital Department to cooperate."
"Seal off all the exits of Xufu Town, so we can swept these demons out in one go."
Chen Guangsheng looked at Yuchi thoughtfully, "Nephew, don’t worry, that’s just a minor task."
Yuchi nodded gratefully, his gaze once more on Yuan Wansong.
Putting away the silver notes into his jacket, Yuan Wansong said seriously, "President, if you don’t mind, you can call me Uncle Yuan."
Tsk!
What’s this, another relative added?
As for minding, of course not, Yuchi casually said, "Uncle Yuan, you’re too kind, please wait a moment, I’m going to have a word with the County Magistrate."
"Alright."
Yuchi left.
Just as the County Magistrate arrived.
Without looking, Yuchi accidentally stepped right on his foot.
Yuchi quickly helped him up, "Sorry for stepping on your foot."
The County Magistrate looked up, "It’s my fault for delaying your step from landing."
Yuchi’s eyelids twitched, "...Did it hurt?"
The County Magistrate smiled benignly, "My shoes are big."
Yuchi nodded silently, "Alright, you win."
Watching Yuchi and the County Magistrate leave, Yuan Wansong stared at the silver notes in contemplation.
Chen Guangsheng’s voice came faintly, "People from the Demon-slaying Bureau still needing connections?"
"And letting President Yuchi call you Uncle Yuan?"
"Aren’t you thick-skinned."
Yuan Wansong, speechless, looked at him, "If he can call you Uncle Chen, why can’t he call me Uncle Yuan?"
"I’m responsible for protecting him." Chen Guangsheng said calm and steady, "What’s wrong with him calling me Uncle Chen?"
"Haha, are you implying you’re not getting paid?" Yuan Wansong asked.
Chen Guangsheng offered no reply.
"Isn’t that just it?"
Yuan Wansong looked at the silver notes indifferently, "You take money, he calls you Uncle Chen."
"I take money, he calls me Uncle Yuan, is there anything wrong with that?"
"I wouldn’t mind having another nephew like that."
Chen Guangsheng twitched his lips, spreading his arms, "How amusing."
"Back in Hechong Village, someone was looking down on Yuchi in all sorts of ways."
"When others asked for your help to deal with the demons, you all had disdainful looks."
"And now?"
"Hasn’t it only been a day?"
"In just one day, your attitude changed so quickly."
Yuan Wansong didn’t care about Chen Guangsheng’s sarcasm, and said naturally, "That’s just how the world is."
"You’re also welcome to give me silver, I don’t care how you address me."
"Give me ten thousand taels of silver, and I’ll call you ’dad’ when we meet."
Chen Guangsheng sneered, "I don’t have a son as big as you."
...
Everything after daylight unfolded naturally.
By afternoon, all the people of Xufu Town were summoned together, for there was a chance to eradicate the demons.
Through Yuchi’s explanation, the townspeople understood the demonic plague, and amidst their fear, they were overjoyed.
Who wouldn’t want to rid themselves of nearby demons?
Moreover, the merchants’ guild had brought in the Demon-slaying Bureau for free!
People marveled at how powerful the merchants’ guild was becoming and cooperated eagerly on the main street of Xufu Town.
A Demon-Revealing Array was set up at the town entrance, everyone needed to pass through it.
If anyone refused, they’d be immediately identified as a demon.
No one would refuse this.
Except the demons themselves.
Yuchi spoke of matters concerning the merchants’ guild.
The main points were around three things.
First, the merchants’ guild was behind this, and no one needed to pay.
Second, praises were given to those from the Demon-slaying Bureau and the Celestial Capital Department who supported the showcase of clothes brands A, B, C, and D.
Third, at the end of the year, the merchants’ guild would have a big program, whether it would be at the Immortal Robe Pavilion depended on the situation then.
The effect was indeed very good.
"It is our honor that everyone is willing to trust the merchants’ guild..." Yuchi spoke steadily and eloquently.
...
On a makeshift stage.
Xun Xian stood beside Yuchi, glancing at Bai Rou who was intently watching Yuchi.
"This woman probably dreams of shouting his name!"
"An old cow eating young grass, shameless!" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
She then glanced at Changsun Mei, noticing the admiration in her almond-shaped eyes.
Unable to hold back a comment, "And look at Changsun Mei, given the chance she’d probably want to get Yuchi drunk."
Her gaze continued to shift.
"As for that sister, your kids are older than Yuchi, best to stop, there are officers everywhere."
"And you, this man, looking at Yuchi like that, does your family know?"
Yuchi fervently began his speech.
Xun Xian listened, observing the reactions of those around.
The crowd was exhilarated by Yuchi’s words, creating a lively scene.
Yuchi had taken on the official role of a young master of Xufu Town, enjoying high prestige.
In fact, the stage gathered members of the Four Major Institutions, making the scene quite imposing.
Who could have imagined that such a thing could occur in Xufu Town?
She finally understood.
The issues Yuchi faced weren’t his alone, they were problems for the entire Xufu Town.
His brilliance lay in turning personal challenges into collective concerns, gaining high reputation.
"The younger ginger is spicier indeed!" Xun Xian reflected.
And then, among the hundred thousand plus residents of Xufu Town, a total of fifteen demons were discovered.
The demons were immediately exterminated, revealing white rats within.
Amidst the townspeople’s shock, Yuan Wansong from the Demon-slaying Bureau stepped forward to speak.
In Xun Xian’s eyes, it was just a string of niceties.
After Yuan Wansong finished, the County Magistrate began speaking according to prior discussion with Yuchi.
Similarly, it was all pleasantries.
After the County Magistrate finished, Chen Guangsheng also stepped up to jabber on.
Ah.
All just ear-numbing speeches.
Then Xun Xian obliged with a few polite words as well...
At first feeling the occasion wasn’t to her liking, but seeing the hope in the townspeople’s eyes, she spoke sincerely.
Watching Yuchi clapping softly for her, she couldn’t help but reveal a broad smile.
To be honest... it felt quite nice.
