Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 80: Chapter 79: Unexpected Surprise

One day later.

The group returned to Xufu Town, and the members of the Demon-slaying Bureau changed their attire, temporarily disguising themselves as ordinary people.

It wasn’t the members of the Demon-slaying Bureau who requested this; it was Yuchi who asked for it.

Yuan Wansong of the Demon-slaying Bureau had no objection at all. Wasn’t it just a change of costume? Honestly, even dressing in women’s clothes for money was fine.

Who would turn down silver?

The group quietly entered the yamen, and aside from those inside, no one else knew about this.

”Everyone, please wait in the yamen for a moment,” Yuchi directed this sentence at Yuan Wansong.

Naturally, Yuan Wansong was happy to oblige.

He said to the samurai of the Demon-slaying Bureau, ”Everyone, let’s rest in the yamen for a while.”

”We still have things to do later.”

The members of the Demon-slaying Bureau were happy to have some leisure, strolling around the yamen, having something to eat, and listening to tunes.

For the Demon-slaying Bureau, what they strive for is merit.

Helping a region with monster hunting, even if there wouldn’t be any substantial rewards from above, such deeds do get noticed.

By the end of the year, there would be some kind of reward for their year-long toils.

So, in the eyes of Yuan Wansong and the others from the Demon-slaying Bureau, Yuchi spent money to prepare marriage outfits for them.

Such honest people are truly rare.

Yuchi had his own arrangements.

After instructing the Demon-slaying Bureau, he temporarily left the yamen.

Right across the yamen was the United Commerce Association. Greeting many passing townsfolk, Yuchi walked into the association.

Entering the association, he continually nodded to many unfamiliar young people as a sign of acknowledgement.

Are there usually so many people in the association? How did I not know?

Yuchi was surprised.

There were indeed many people inside the association, busy handling the recent accounts.

Numerous bookkeepers and many young individuals sent from various families for learning.

The atmosphere was bustling.

”Good morning, Chairman.”

”Good morning.”

”Hello, Chairman.”

”Good morning.”

Nodding along the way, Yuchi went straight to the association’s meeting hall.

There was no one in the meeting hall now; Xun Xian had already gone to find other patriarchs in the association.

A simple meeting would need to be discussed later.

”I estimate they’ll be here in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.”

”I trust these patriarchs are smart enough, at least to understand what I’m going to propose soon.”

”Just twenty thousand taels of silver, evenly divided, it’s not a big issue.”

Yuchi talked to himself.

...

Yamen.

In a long room, the County Magistrate was sweating profusely.

He was nodding and bowing, pouring tea for the two people in front of him.

One was Chen Guangsheng from the Celestial Capital Department, and the other was Yuan Wansong from the Demon-slaying Bureau.

”Please have some tea, everyone, this is Green Leaf Ding tea, a specialty of our Xufu Town. It tastes slightly bitter at first, but the aftertaste is sweet.”

As he spoke, he seemed somewhat at a loss.

Inwardly, he silently blessed Yuchi, thinking this kid truly doesn’t know how to handle this situation.

If previously they were forced to have Xun Xian from the Defense Department here, he could at least accept it.

After all, it’s the Defense Department; logically speaking, the yamen should be greater than it, after all, the yamen answers to the Imperial Decree Department.

And then?

Then because the association needed protection, many from the Celestial Capital Department came.

They had to know that the people of the Celestial Capital Department, they wouldn’t dare defy the Imperial Decree Department.

It’s like having a tiger in one’s home.

Though theoretically, tigers can guard the house, if the tiger bites you, that would truly be bad.

Now.

Now the people from the Demon-slaying Bureau are here for no reason?

Good Lord.

These are the people from the Demon-slaying Bureau. In all these years, he’s only seen them a handful of times.

But this time, Yuan Wansong explicitly stated they were here to eliminate monsters in Xufu Town.

The County Magistrate was quite startled, initially appearing quite distressed; he didn’t want to deal with monsters or spend money on such matters.

But upon hearing that Yuchi would cover the expenses, his face broke into a brilliant smile.

This year, Yuchi will surely be one of the top ten most inspiring figures in Xufu Town.

Indeed, Yuchi was the one funding the yamen’s needs, preparing marriage outfits—where could one find such a good-hearted person?

”So how on earth did Yuchi manage it, how did he even get people from the Demon-slaying Bureau to come to Xufu Town!”

”Xufu Town is a large Clothing Town, that’s true, but it has never been so lively before!”

”And now all Four Major Institutions are here?”

”What?”

Are they here to play mahjong and just missing one more for a game?

”County Magistrate, if you have things to do, go get busy. There’s no need to stay here.” Chen Guangsheng leaned lazily on the chair, with his legs propped on the long table.

The people from the Demon-slaying Bureau can make a fortune from this sort of thing, and so can those from the Imperial Decree Department, but his Celestial Capital Department and the Defense Department seem to gain nothing from it.

It’s really frustrating.

Looking at the County Magistrate who clearly wants to laugh but doesn’t dare to, he feels quite annoyed.

”Hey, if you guys need anything, just call us.” The County Magistrate said quickly.

Sensing Chen Guangsheng’s resentment, he doesn’t dare to provoke him.

So he hurriedly pulled the assistant hiding behind the door, and the two of them slipped away.

...

Outside the door.

The County Magistrate wiped a big drop of sweat off his forehead, ”How’s the arrangement going, oh my heavens, have all the food and drinks been served?”

The assistant swallowed a gulp of saliva, ”It’s all been served, I’ve hidden the accounts too, they probably didn’t come here to investigate us.”

Everything has its pros and cons.

On the surface, the yamen could profit from this, but relatively, it’s also quite dangerous.

Could it be that these people are here to conduct a united audit?!

The assistant was about to cry, ”Hopefully, they didn’t come to investigate us, who’s daring enough to say they’re utterly unafraid of a search?”

The County Magistrate forcibly calms himself down.

”Don’t worry, our relationship with the commerce association is good, and our relationship with Yuchi is good.”

”As long as Yuchi doesn’t let them investigate us, then we definitely won’t have any problems.”

”But if he really says to investigate us, we are doomed, it would be a prison sentence then!”

All right.

Yuchi didn’t even intend for this, but these two brothers helped him create something adding a nice touch.

After the Demon-slaying Bureau people came too, the County Magistrate, his assistant, and others really understood.

Their little lives are firmly in Yuchi’s hands.

As long as Yuchi speaks to the other three institutions, they could clear out the yamen in an instant.

By then, many of the yamen’s accounting issues would spell prison for them.

So Yuchi bringing the Demon-slaying Bureau’s people directly to Xufu Town this time...

Even if it wasn’t his intention, it felt like a warning to them.

”In the future, whenever you see Yuchi, don’t you dare shout recklessly. Properly address him as President Wei.” The County Magistrate said nervously, ”This time he even gave us face, spending his own money!”

”Just look at how generous he is!”

”Young talents are just like that!”

The County Magistrate started to lavishly praise Yuchi.

”Got it.”

The assistant wiped the sweat away, ”Don’t you have a daughter? See if you can arrange for her to go to Yuchi!”

”No need for that! Yuchi’s second brother has already come over, and his relationship with my daughter is good now.”

”Really! How far has it developed?”

”Just one step away from discussing marriage arrangements openly!” The County Magistrate said with a bitter smile.

He was originally quite unhappy.

At least Yuchi, could you not be so overt in your actions? After all, I am the County Magistrate.

It’s one thing to have your second brother chat up my daughter, but did he have to lay those perverted hands on her?

My daughter is my daughter, she deserves respect.

When the straw finally broke the camel’s back, the County Magistrate instantly realized something.

What dignity? Could a man really refuse an opportunity to get close to the commerce association because of dignity?

No way, right?

No way!

So because the Demon-slaying Bureau also came, this led to the yamen of Xufu Town getting even closer to the commerce association.

For the commerce association, this is a great thing.

And all of this happened without Yuchi’s knowledge.

There’s no way he could have thought through all the pros and cons in such a short time.

Wonder if he’d burst out laughing if he knew the current situation.

This really is a pleasant surprise.

Second brother Wei Fei, in the yamen, would be even more formidable, backed by the commerce association.

An entity in the eyes of the Xufu Town yamen that is both mysterious and immense.

It’s definitely very secure.

In fact, he’s now lying in the council chamber scratching his head, thinking every family has their own issues.
