Chapter 332: Chapter 195: You Can No Longer Be Together! I Really Appreciate You! (Ask for votes)_5

The City Lord felt that in his lifetime, he had seen far too many people. When these people came to him for help, they were all full of flattery, eager to become his son. But once the matters were settled, hoping for any gratitude from them was a joke.

Their traces all vanished, and if by chance they met, the other party would avoid him as if avoiding mishaps, as if helping them was a mistake. Their demeanor face to face was like this, one could only imagine the words behind his back.

On one hand, they enjoyed the privileges he brought, while on the other, they criticized the privileges he received as the City Lord. Since he was in that position, he was in a no-win situation.

But Yuchi was different. Without much help from him, Yuchi had slowly built his way up. Although he didn’t know how Yuchi managed it, it didn’t affect the fact that this young man was rather impressive. Such a young man should be remote and aloof.

Yet Yuchi came over, even bringing small gifts, like visiting during the New Year to pay respects.

This was very comforting, truly soothing.

Except...

Except he understood the first half of what Yuchi said, but why did he not quite comprehend the second half?

What did he mean by his help leading to Yuchi forming close ties with the Great Tang Prison?

What did this have to do with an unknown person like him?

”Master Yuchi, why do I not quite understand your words for the moment?” The City Lord asked with a puzzled expression.

”Ah, wasn’t it with the help from Your Lordship?”

Yuchi smiled and approached.

He behaved like a nephew to the City Lord, coming behind him, personally massaging his shoulders and back, and as the City Lord’s face was filled with confusion, Yuchi explained smilingly:

”Here’s how it is, recently a Golden Patrol from the Great Tang Prison came to Xufu Town. He explained the situation to me. He said that Xufu Town’s development is going very well, and as such, the Great Tang Prison plans to construct a prison near Xufu Town soon.”

”With the presence of the Great Tang Prison, firstly, Xufu Town wouldn’t need assistance from the Celestial Capital Department; it would be incredibly safe. Secondly, Xufu Town’s reputation would further expand, making it a very formidable town.”

Xun Xian: Yuchi, if you talk about the Great Tang Prison, then I’m wide awake.

Xun Xian immediately looked at Yuchi with an admiring gaze as if saying ”Yuchi, you’re sharp.”

This was standard normal psychology, even though she Xun Xian wasn’t a person from the Great Tang Prison, she held a deep-seated respect for it. According to the words of ”Poisonous Milk” Xun Xian, the Great Tang Prison was the best place in the world. Should anyone get the chance to live within, it would be a perfect life!

As for the City Lord, he was utterly bewildered.

After fully comprehending the terrifying amount of information hidden in Yuchi’s words, he abruptly jumped to his feet, and when Yuchi looked at him with a beaming smile, he came behind Yuchi, placed his hands on Yuchi’s shoulders, pressing him into his seat, and started massaging his shoulders.

”Master Yuchi! Is the Great Tang Prison really erecting an outpost next to Xufu Town!?” The City Lord asked, speaking through his nostrils, fearing his mouth couldn’t keep up due to excitement.

”Yes.”

While having his shoulders massaged by the City Lord, Yuchi shifted uncomfortably, turning his head to witness the various shocked expressions on the City Lord’s face, he said with a smile:

”This junior has come to Jiangzhou City primarily for this reason, guessing that it was Jiangzhou City’s Imperial Decree Department, your department, that reported my matter upward.”

”After the matter was reported, the people of the Great Tang Prison came to know about it and further persuaded the Great Tang Prison’s people to support us in Xufu Town. All this was due to your commendable action, hence, upon learning about this, it’s important for this junior to come here and express gratitude to you!”

After Yuchi finished speaking, he was moved himself, once again pressing this middle-aged man, the City Lord, into the chair and began massaging his shoulders.

However, the City Lord’s face had completely lost any normal expression, left in a state of ”Who am I?” bewilderment.

How could he possibly know such things?

How could he possibly have reported the commerce matters again, especially reporting them to the Great Tang Prison?

This couldn’t be possible.

Yet Yuchi continued to speak:

”When the United Commerce Association was first established, I had already received the city lord’s help; otherwise, Miss Xun wouldn’t have come to protect me then. Now that the association has developed, once again you, the City Lord, are here to support me. Now that it has come to this, you have again helped me connect with the Great Tang Prison.”

”I understand your sincere intentions, and I, Yuchi, as the president of the Xufu Town United Commerce Association, will surely come to you first, City Lord, whenever there’s an affair. Regardless of whether I can help, your business will be my priority!”
