Chapter 532 The Manor's Development Resembles a Village
"Good, good, good, you've always been quick-witted!" Mo Yongye laughed.
"It's all because of your stupid master, all you do is try to hit people on the head all day long, otherwise my IQ would definitely be higher!"
"I didn't knock it that many times!"
"It's your fault, it's all your fault!"
The master and apprentice bantered and joked along the way, making it anything but boring.
We arrived at the residential area quickly. Before we even entered the gate, all sorts of people came out to greet us. They were of various positions and were still wearing their work uniforms, clearly indicating that they had put aside their work.
Moreover, each person was carrying their own gift in their hands.
Bidili covered her mouth and laughed, then teased, "Master, today is another day of receiving so many gifts that my hands are sore!"
"Gifts should be exchanged in return; one can also return the gifts received."
Bidili hadn't grasped the concept yet, and was simply waiting to see how Mo Yongye would proceed.
After exchanging greetings and accepting gifts, Mo Yongye and his men said, "Sir, we have prepared a banquet at home. We humbly request that you do us the honor of coming in and taking a seat!"
The others also had bright eyes, filled with hope, and wanted to invite Mo Yongye to their homes for a meal.
Mo Yongye waved his hand, "We have all had breakfast, and many more families have come to visit today."
"I'll get you whatever else you need at home."
The man said in a flustered manner, "It is already an honor for you to visit our home, sir. How could we possibly accept your gift?"
"Well, it's only natural to reciprocate gifts so that we can keep in touch. Please don't refuse, or I won't accept your gifts next time!"
"We don't lack anything at home. We appreciate your kindness, sir."
Helpless, Mo Yongye had no choice but to call over Solelu and ask, "Little rabbit, please tell me how each household in the community is doing and what they need so I can get them something!"
Sorelu exclaimed in shock: "Lord Eternal Night, how can this be done?"
"You've forgotten that I received many gifts before, and now I have nowhere to use them. It's a good opportunity to do something convenient for the people!"
Sorelu's eyes lit up. She had been wondering what Mo Yongye meant when she heard the master and disciple talking, but now she understood. "I understand, Lord Yongye,"
Soleru took out the investigation book; her adoration for Mo Yongye had reached the level of Bidel.
Unfortunately, the Chief of the Guard has important duties to attend to and cannot travel the universe with Lord Eternal Night.
Sorelu listed what items each household in the community was missing, and Mo Yongye retrieved the corresponding items from the system space and gave them to them.
The people dared not accept the gifts, but Sorelu repeatedly persuaded them, saying that Mo Yongye meant well and that if they did not accept them, Mo Yongye would not accept any more gifts from them in the future. Only then did they reluctantly accept them, and everyone was overjoyed.
Mo Yongye then left with peace of mind, heading to his next destination.
"Master, I see! Your mind works better than mine!"
"Of course, otherwise how could I be your master!"
Those guards, who were only focused on serving the country and its people, have gradually changed their views on Mo Yongye's actions, and their attitude has shifted from being dutiful and responsible to showing more respect and admiration.
Mo Yongye visited more than a dozen places in a row, and most of them gave him the same answer. In some places, he didn't lack anything, so he brought some fruits and vegetables to give to them. He was currently traveling in the inner city. Although not everyone there was extremely wealthy, they all had everything they needed. However, although wages were high in the city, prices and expenses also increased, making it very expensive to buy fruits and vegetables.
Mo Yongye met their needs perfectly, and none of them were not delighted.
The last place we visited in the morning turned out to be a mansion. According to Sorelu, it employed many people and also housed their families there, making it resemble an independent community or village.
Bidili was astonished upon hearing this: "In the heart of the country, land is incredibly valuable. Who has the audacity to give up their land for workers to live on?"
Upon hearing this, Sorelu explained, "It's not free to live and use. Some of it will be deducted from my wages, or I can only fully own it after working for a certain number of years."
"To be able to do this, one is obviously not an ordinary person, and perhaps only in this way can it last." Number 21 also wanted to meet the owner of this mansion.
The group arrived at a manor, which was more like a manor than a residence, with its gates wide open, showing no fear of any bad guys entering.
"Little rabbit, may we go in here?" Mo Yongye asked. Trespassing on someone else's territory would not be a good thing.
“Ordinary people are not allowed to enter. I have spoken to the master. I’m afraid you will be surprised, Lord Eternal Night!” Sorelu said mysteriously.
"Really? Which old friend is it?"
"Let's leave that aside for now," Sorelu said, keeping everyone in suspense.
Mo Yongye began to speculate. It must be the people in the hotel. Otherwise, how could they have the financial resources to build such a manor in the center of the country? It was either the original high-ranking officials and nobles of the hotel or the group that waited outside later. Mo Yongye felt that it should be the later ones. With a manor to settle down and a family business to manage, why would they need to stay in that hotel?
After the group had traveled some distance, they saw the manor towering not far away, with a residential area in front of it, and the two were separated by a distance.
It's as if that place was planned as a residence, which confirms what Soleru said.
However, the front yard seemed a bit too big. Two guards came towards them, carrying weapons. When they saw that the person was Mo Yongye, they quickly put away their weapons, put the gun barrels behind their backs, sheathed the sharp blades, tucked the short sticks into their waistbands, and bowed with their fists.
"Your Excellency Inspector, we've finally waited for you!" The guard was overjoyed and almost lost his composure. If he offended the magistrate, he would lose his job and be punished.
Bidili stepped forward and asked, "How did you two know that my master was coming here? And the way you greeted him was quite unusual!"
"Please forgive us, please forgive us," the two said.
“Disciple, stop teasing the two of you.”
Bidili stopped talking, and the leader of the group explained, "Although the guards patrol regularly and there are usually no thieves, we are afraid that the patriarch's property might be coveted by thieves. If they are after money, that's fine, but if they hurt people, it's a serious crime. So we hired some guards to protect the property and also to welcome guests in."
The others understood, but Bidili said, "Don't you have a butler here? Why do you need guards to greet guests?"
The other person said, "The steward manages affairs in the manor, and there are people who come to help live in the front yard, so the head of the family hired guards to keep watch here."
The group finally understood that the guards were specifically there to protect the houses in front of them, while also serving as a welcome host.
The captain of the guards said again, "My master knew that you, Inspector, were coming, so he sent the two of us here to wait for you. Please come with us."
The group walked on.
Mo Yongye praised, "Your master has a very kind heart!"
