The Male Wife

Chapter 219 Not Worth It

The city lord wanted to be angry when Jiang Linzhi gave him a hee, but he held back when he saw the Wuwu Pavilion standing behind Jiang Linzhi.

He is the lord of a city, no matter what level he is, he doesn't need to take the initiative to know his identity and make Jiang Linzhi's low profile, but the development trend of Wuwu Pavilion has gradually become larger in the past few years, not only in the imperial capital, but now even In South China City, Wuwu Pavilion also has a certain status, so no matter how you look at it, the city lord must give Jiang Linzhi this face.

The smile on the city lord's face became more and more obvious. He waved his hand and motioned the twins to step aside first, then held the wine glass and said some grandiose words to Jiang Linzhi, and then pretended to say, "I heard that brother Jiang's wife is... so I thought of doing what he likes, but unfortunately, now it seems that I am meddling in other people's business. Anyway, I still don't want to be this villain and disturb brother Jiang and his brother-in-law good day."

Jiang Linzhi glanced at the city lord, "This hearsay is still a rumour, and it is not very credible. You are the lord of a city. It is better to listen less to these unreliable hearsay in the future."

The city lord couldn't hold back his face anymore, because of one of Jiang Lin, he repeatedly showed himself in his own territory, which made him feel embarrassed and angry, so the city lord immediately pulled his face and looked at him in displeasure. Jiang Linzhi said in a strange way: "Brother Jiang said so well that my brother didn't understand. Why, do you still want to educate me?"

Jiang Linzhi didn't change his face, "What the city lord said is too serious, I just think that what some people say, the city lord shouldn't take it too seriously."

Standing behind the city lord, Chu Yiling's face paled in an instant. Jiang Linzhi's words meant that he was warning himself overtly and secretly, and then expressed his dissatisfaction with the city lord about Chu Yiling's existence.

The city lord quickly realized that the city lord turned around without a trace, glanced at Chu Yiling's pale face from fright, turned his heart, raised his wine glass, and casually said a few words to Jiang Linzhi. Casually said: "Ling'er, you go back to the house first, the main thing in this city is to have a few words with the Pavilion Master alone."

Chu Yiling can guess that what the two of them are going to talk about next must have something to do with her, but even if she knows it very well now, she can't say that she wants to stay, because Jiang Linzhi's attitude with the city lord will be obvious in the future , if she refuses to leave now, it will only make the city lord quicken his dislike of him, and he will be forced to leave this place.

Chu Yiling walked out with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, covering up the gloomy light that flashed in her eyes. She had finally climbed to this position now, and she must not leave so easily. The power was handed over.

After waiting for Chu Yiling to leave, the city lord put down the wine glass and said, "Actually, the city lord asked the Pavilion Master to come here today for another matter. But before asking about this matter, I want to ask the Pavilion Master , are you really feuding with Daoguang Sect?"

When one of Jiang Lin heard the name of Daoguang Zongmen, he understood what it meant. He nodded casually and said, "Because of some trivial things a few days ago, I had some grievances with Daoguang Zongmen. Are you here to find the mayor?"

The city lord nodded without hesitation. If he wants to cooperate with Wuwu Pavilion, he must show his sincerity. Therefore, in this matter, the city lord does not intend to hide anything from Jiang Linzhi. He said lightly, "This morning, Dao The two elders of Guangzongmen and the head of the sect came to see me personally, probably because they want to cooperate with us in South China City to deal with Wuwu Pavilion together."

Jiang Linzhi raised his eyebrows. Daoguang Sect's Xuanhuang technique is very famous in the whole Huaguo. The city lord refused to cooperate with Daoguang Sect, but chose to cooperate with Wuwu Pavilion. I don't know if it is really intentional or not. Fake trap.

Jiang Linzhi didn't intend to believe it at first, but when he saw the serious look on his face, he still chose to believe it, because as long as this kind of thing is investigated in detail, someone will definitely know the truth, so the city lord did not You need to hide it from yourself.

Jiang Linzhi smiled and said: "In this case, I would like to ask, what did Daoguang Sect originally plan to cooperate with the city lord."

The city lord stared into Jiang Linzhi's eyes with a complicated look on his face. He didn't answer Jiang Linzhi's words directly, but asked instead: "Don't the pavilion master know?"

Jiang Linzhi had an intuition that something was wrong, "I don't know what the city lord means."

The city lord saw that the expression on Jiang Linzhi's face did not seem to be fake, so he said: "A few days ago, the Daoguang Sect was provoked by someone. The information they found was that it was done by people from Wuji Pavilion."

Jiang Linzhi frowned, and sneered: "Wuwu Pavilion has never been in the business of Buddhism and Taoism. If it is really made by people from Wuwu Pavilion, if it is not a business, then it is seeking revenge in private. Since it is seeking revenge in private, Then I have nothing to do with Wuwu Pavilion." Wuji Pavilion has never been in the business of Buddhism and Taoism, and it is not that Jiang Linzhi has much heart for goodness, but because, no matter when, some Local rules are absolutely not allowed to be broken.

Buddhism and Taoism are all pure and good lands, so this treasure land has produced an unwritten rule in the Jianghu since thousands of years ago, that is, no matter what time it is, the industry of killing is absolutely unacceptable. It is allowed to touch Buddhism and Taoism.

The business of killing is not allowed to do Buddhism and Taoism, so this is why Jiang Lin went to the depths of Yunlin alone to find Daoguang Zongmen in his previous life, instead of letting the people of Wuwu Pavilion help him find it.

For some sins, he only needs to bear them by himself.

Seeing that Jiang Linzhi finally understood what he meant, the city lord paused for a moment, and continued: "The Daoguang sect walked across the entire Hua Kingdom decades ago, and no one would point fingers at them, but the founder of the Daoguang sect After the fall of the Lord, the Daoguang Sect began to go downhill."

The smile on the city lord's face was unpredictable, "God can't bear Daoguang Zongmen's forced change of fate, so now it's been a long time, Daoguang Zongmen is naturally not as brilliant as before. But a thin camel is better than a horse Great, although the status of the Daoguang Sect is not as good as it used to be, the prestige is still there."

Jiang Linzhi felt very impatient when he heard what the city lord said. He could tell that the city lord was trying to trick him on purpose. He was unhappy, but he didn't want to ask him to focus directly.

The city lord said: "The people from the Daoguang Sect have now recognized that the person who provoked at their door a few days ago was from the Wuwu Pavilion, or that you personally instructed the pavilion owner, so now they are guiding you to South China City. So I went down the mountain deliberately to cooperate with me... To be honest, cooperating with Daoguang Sect is not as good as cooperating with your Wuwu Pavilion."

The city lord's words made people feel very unhappy, Jiang Linzhi was unhappy, but he didn't say anything.

The city lord knows what it means to accept as soon as you see it. After seeing Jiang Linzhi's face gradually revealing an unhappy look, he soon stopped trying to die. He said seriously: "...Now, I will tell you about this matter. Pavilion Master, I hope that no matter what the Pavilion Master does next, he will not forget the benefits of my South China City."

Jiang Linzhi understood what the city lord meant, "Thank you, the city lord."

The mayor was satisfied.

The two men with complicated thoughts continued to chat for a while with their own ghosts, and then Jiang Linzhi made an excuse that it was getting late and wanted to go back.

After Jiang Linzhi left, the butler who was standing on the side stepped up and poured sober tea for the city lord, pouring it while saying: "City lord, no matter how powerful this Wuwu Pavilion is, I don't think anyone who is so powerful can climb up to our city lord. You There was no need to give him face over and over again just now. Otherwise, if the news of today gets out, it will not be good for the reputation of our City Lord's Mansion."

The city lord said indifferently, "Inorganic Pavilion is indeed not powerful enough to allow me in South China City to give him Wuwu Pavilion's low status, but the development prospect of Wuwu Pavilion is very good. If Wuwu Pavilion is allowed to continue to develop according to the current trend, given time Well, there is definitely no way to compare South China City with Wuwu Pavilion. If Wuwu Pavilion owes me a favor because of today's incident, and if something happens in the future, it is absolutely impossible for Wuwu Pavilion to shirk."

The butler was made clear by the words of the city lord, and the butler admired the city lord very much.

He just stood aside and watched the city lord keep giving Jiang Linzhi good looks. He always felt that the city lord didn't need to please such a small inorganic pavilion. The entire South China City was tidied up in just one year.

Because some people are really suitable for attacking the mind, they are suitable for standing at the top, and then calculate what they want now, and they can also calculate what they want in the future.

The butler was sincerely impressed.

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Cheng San followed behind Jiang Linzhi and said angrily: "This South China City is really good at doing business. Our people also found three Taoist priests wandering around the gate of Wuwu Pavilion looking around this morning. Now Wuwu Pavilion is on the third floor. The protection of the outer three floors has been completed, but with a single word from the South China City Lord, we owe them a favor from the Wuwu Pavilion. It's really disgusting."

Jiang Linzhi sat in the carriage with a cold face, and said coldly: "Since the three Taoist priests appeared near the Wuwu Pavilion, the South China City Lord has already figured out that our Wuwu Pavilion owes them a favor."

Cheng San gritted his teeth angrily.

Jiang Linzhi remained silent with a cold face, as if it was just a trivial matter and not worth publicizing.

"After going back later, don't mention this matter to Madam." Jiang Linzhi looked at the night outside the window, pursed his thin lips and said softly: "Now is not the time to let him know. When the matter is resolved, we will talk to him again." It's not too late to say."

Cheng San: "Yes, Lord."
