My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Zhang Hao naturally knew that the boss lady hated him, but things had come to this point and could not be undone. These things had already happened and no one could change them.

"You might as well calm down and take a good look at what this town will become after you forcibly break the old rules. You may hope that everything will develop for the better, but as someone who has lived in this land for most of my life, I can tell you clearly that things will never go as you wish, and may even get worse. You think you are doing the right thing, but in the end, you will find that you are extremely wrong. By then, if you want to turn back, it may be too late."

After the lady boss said this, she seemed to lose all her energy instantly. Her body shrank like a punctured ball, and in the blink of an eye she became an old lady in her seventies or eighties. Her clothes were still bright and eye-catching, but they looked particularly strange on her frail body, which made people sigh.

In the end, Zhang Hao still didn't attack the boss lady. After all, the boss lady was still a living person. Although she could forcibly change her appearance, it was only using part of her magic power, not the power of the dead.

As long as the other person is still alive, Zhang Hao will not forcibly interfere with her life trajectory. Let the boss lady do whatever she wants, even if she wants to stay in the town and wait to see his joke, Zhang Hao doesn't care.

He even had a secret expectation in his heart, wanting to see what expression the boss lady would have when she saw his success.

You have to know that the rules they spend their whole lives guarding may not necessarily be correct.

The next day, the proprietress personally announced to everyone that Mr. Zhang had left forever, and Zhang Hao would become the new ruler of the town.

However, the surviving residents reacted calmly to this incident, only showing a little surprise to some extent.

Some people even went to the inn just to see with their own eyes what kind of person Zhang Hao was.

Zhang Hao looked at the inn, and his mind emerged how this place would become his property in a few hundred years.

At that time, he didn't take it to heart, but now that it was really before his eyes, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

After that, the boss's wife would come to her shop slowly every day with a cane to watch everything Zhang Hao did. She seemed to get a different sense of accomplishment from it, and the joy of watching the jokes was not unique to the boss's wife, there were several other people who also enjoyed it.

These people seemed to be quite old, at least they were of the same generation as Lord Zhang. They all came to Zhang Hao for one reason: they wanted to see what kind of ability a newcomer like Zhang Hao had to achieve what he had achieved.

Zhang Hao spent more than two months to change the outside world's view of this small town. Now, people may think that there are no ghosts in this small town. In addition, the town has beautiful scenery and some special products. Gradually, some brave people began to come and try sex tourism.

Zhang Hao was very excited about this change, but the proprietress always had a sarcastic look on her face every day, as if she had anticipated all this and was waiting to see Zhang Hao make a fool of himself.

Zhang Hao naturally didn't want the boss lady to succeed, so he tried his best to change everything here every day. He tried to change the feng shui here, adjust the mentality of the residents, and even wanted to change the fate of the people here.

However, he also knew that if he really did this, it would be too against the will of heaven, so he did not put it into practice in the end.

I thought things would continue to develop in a good direction, but unexpectedly, a group of soldiers came inexplicably. They claimed that they were sent by the emperor, and the new emperor was about to take office, so they asked Zhang Hao, a man of unknown origin, to give up his position quickly.

Zhang Hao had been planning to give up his position, but he had not seen what kind of person the new city lord was, and he was unwilling to give up the town that Lord Zhang had worked so hard to build. Therefore, he did not agree to the soldiers' request. Unexpectedly, these soldiers were unreasonable and rushed forward to imprison Zhang Hao.

With Zhang Hao's strength, it would be easy for him to resist. But he didn't do it. It was not until this moment that he truly realized what kind of environment the people here lived in and what kind of miserable life they led. He wanted to see what attitude the new city lord would take to change all this when he saw such a town. If the new city lord was not a good person, then Zhang Hao would probably do something impulsive.

For example, even if you become the "thief" who robs the rich and helps the poor in the eyes of the public, you must still do your best to protect these residents and people.

Three days later, the new mayor took office. As soon as he took office, he immediately implemented a major reform. He gathered all the people in the town in the center of the town and announced a series of his own rules, such as prohibiting travel at night, paying taxes on time and in quantity every month, and even setting up stalls on the street had strict regulations and had to pay protection fees to the street office.

Seeing all this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel regretful. He began to reflect on why he had given up power and handed this beautiful town to those people with bad intentions.

However, when Zhang Hao had the idea of ​​rebellion, he was surprised to find that the people here seemed to have accepted the rule of the new master. How quickly they accepted Zhang Hao in the past, how quickly they accepted the people sent by the emperor now.

In their eyes, it doesn’t matter who is the owner of this town. What matters is whether they can have three meals a day and whether they can live peacefully and happily in this city.

The proprietress came to the prison to visit Zhang Hao. She felt that Zhang Hao had already failed, so she laughed at him unscrupulously.

He even imitated his appearance when he was young, sitting in front of Zhang Hao's cell door.

"Don't you think you look ridiculous now? You are full of ambition to change everything here, but later you find that you can't shake the status quo here by yourself. These people's minds have been eroded in their day-to-day lives. You think you can let them return to normal life, but they don't want it at all. All they want is to survive. How can you condemn them morally for people who just want to survive? So, in the end, it's all your fault. The more you want to change something, the more difficult it is to achieve it. How does it feel to get nothing?"

The proprietress vented all the hatred she had accumulated over the years on Zhang Hao, including the resentment of being separated from her beloved husband in her early years and the regret of not being able to rekindle her relationship with her husband for many years.

The husband took the safety of the entire town on his shoulders, but ignored his wife's feelings. Perhaps it was because of this incident that the boss lady hated Mr. Zhang. But love and hate always go hand in hand. The deeper a person hates, the deeper his love is.

Zhang Hao hung his head, not knowing what to say. In his opinion, the things he had experienced were beyond his understanding.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the cell.

Hearing the noise from afar, Zhang Hao realized that they might want to kill him. Once he, the former ruler, was eliminated, the new ruler would be able to do whatever he wanted in the city, and might even turn it into a new hell on earth.

It was not until this moment that Zhang Hao woke up from his dream and realized that he had made a big mistake. He could have asked Raymond to help him go back to the past and change everything, but he could not face himself at this moment.

After all, everything here has already happened. Even if they go back to the past, in a parallel world, the people here will still suffer and still have to pay the price for their mistakes. Zhang Hao rarely makes mistakes, but once he does, he will regret it for a long time, and perhaps he will never let it go until he dies. The proprietress looked at Zhang Hao, and her expression was unpredictable. Sometimes she was full of pride, and sometimes she showed hatred. In the end, she was left with only deep resentment.

"I really don't understand what the point of someone like you is. You changed everything here, but in the end, it seems that nothing has changed, and everything seems to have returned to the starting point... Just admit it, you are just a loser who can't do anything. If there is an afterlife, I really hope to meet you again and teach you a lesson. But in this life, I have done too many things, and I really don't have the energy to hate you anymore..."

Zhang Hao felt very strange about what the boss lady said. Why did she suddenly become so conflicted?

The proprietress lifted up her robe and held a key in her hand, which was the key to this cell.

"Go away and never come back. Go back to where you came from. Take Xiao Qiao with you. Her ideas are similar to yours now. She is no longer suitable to live here. Sooner or later, this place will become a new hell on earth. Those who can leave should leave quickly. Those of us who can't leave can only stay here and suffer in pain..."

It was not until then that Zhang Hao realized that the proprietress came here not just to laugh at him, but to help him escape from here.

He never thought that after experiencing such deep hatred, he could still get help from the boss's wife. This matter really made him feel incredible.

From his perspective, he really couldn't understand the boss lady's behavior. If it were him, he might not be able to do this.

But on second thought, the reason why the proprietress gained the trust of those deceased people was because she, like Lord Zhang, had a kind and loving heart, wasn't it?
"I was really wrong..." Zhang Hao muttered to himself.

The landlady opened the door of the cell and signaled Zhang Hao to escape quickly, but she herself resolutely stayed and faced the questioning and accusations of the officers and soldiers alone.

Zhang Hao was filled with guilt, and after taking a few steps, he began to think about going back.

Xiao Qiao had been hiding in the dark, waiting to meet Zhang Hao. Seeing Zhang Hao turning back, as if he was going to go back, she didn't bother to wait until it was safe to communicate, and rushed out directly, grabbing Zhang Hao and trying to drag him away.

"Master, the boss lady helped you escape, why do you still want to go back? Are you stupid? She has done this, which means she is ready to accept punishment. The boss lady has worked hard all her life, and finally wanted to do such a good thing, so don't let her hard work go to waste, okay?"

Zhang Hao never thought that he would be taught a lesson by a little girl like Xiao Qiao.

But then I thought again, when the boss lady came to find me, there was not much hatred in her eyes, but instead a determination to face death.

Had she been ready to die since then?
In this era of brutal monarchy, anyone who dared to resist the officers and soldiers would be considered to be rebelling against the emperor, and would inevitably pay a heavy price.

The proprietress, like Mr. Zhang, has worked hard for the people of this city for most of their lives.

Zhang Hao found it hard to accept that such a kind and hardworking person ended up like this, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.

Xiao Qiao pulled Zhang Hao and ran all the way. She had a package on her back, which contained some banknotes and dry food given by the proprietress.

At this moment they didn't have time to carry too much luggage, so they could only travel light, as long as they could save their lives.

The world is so big that you can find a place to stay wherever you escape to.

Now, Xiao Qiao only has Zhang Hao as her family member. In her heart, Zhang Hao is not only a friend, but also a master and the most important relative. No matter what, even if it costs her own life, she must let Zhang Hao leave here safely.

Zhang Hao walked for a while and suddenly felt an indescribable fatigue. Perhaps, running away like this was no longer suitable for him. Since it was not suitable eight hundred years ago, maybe he should really go back eight hundred years later.

Raymond had said before that he should wait for another month. Now a month had passed, and Raymond had asked him if he wanted to go back, but at that time he was thinking about changing this place, so he temporarily refused.

Now, everything has failed. He is too embarrassed to stay here any longer. Leaving is the best option.

Zhang Hao stopped and called Raymond silently in his heart.

Soon, Raymond's voice sounded in his mind.

"You finally understand that sometimes strength can't solve all problems. The things you desperately want to change may only bring changes to people's lives in this era. They may not be grateful to you, and may even hate you."

Zhang Hao held his forehead weakly, wanting to refute that brat Raymond, but when the words came to his lips, he found that he could not say anything.

After going through so many things, Zhang Hao experienced for the first time what it meant to feel hopeless.

So many people's lives were in my hands, but in the end I failed to protect anyone and had to leave here like a deserter.

A crazy idea suddenly came to Zhang Hao's mind: it would be better to go back and fight those officers and soldiers to the death.

Raymond noticed Zhang Hao's idea and rejected it as soon as it came to his mind. (End of this chapter)
