The middle-aged man was a little anxious, and said loudly: "I'm a person from the prince's mansion, who dares to let me settle the bill!"

The entire teahouse immediately fell silent.

After a while, there were only five people left in the originally lively teahouse.

Atlas, the head of the guards, two shopkeepers, and a middle-aged man.

"People from the Prince's Palace?" Atlas stood up, his brow.

approached the middle-aged man.

"How can there be a person like you in my fourth brother's mansion?!"

The middle-aged man's body shook a few times.

Fourth brother!

He looked at Atlas with a look of trepidation.

The one who dares to call Prince Regent the fourth brother is the current eldest prince, and he is also the legendary prince who is about to be crowned the crown prince.

"Return, Hui Zun Prince's words, little, the villain is a guy in the canteen of the Prince's Mansion!" the middle-aged man stammered.

"You dare to talk about the palace even if you are a fellow! you are not a little bold!" said the head of the guards.

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

The leader of the guards looked at Atlas.

Atlas said at this time: "Settle the tea fee owed, and no similar problems will occur in the future, otherwise, you will never be spared!"

The middle-aged man agreed.

"Let's go, go and sit down at my fourth brother's mansion!" Atlas said.

But in my heart, I was a little thoughtful.

He remembered what he had said.

A guy dares to talk about the palace, this is not just a matter of guts.

The leader of the guards agreed, and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.

Prince Regent's Palace is located in the heart of Life Fort.

As the two Atlas approached the Prince's Palace, dozens of guards blocked their way.

"This is the Prince's Mansion, and the idle people must not approach, otherwise, there will be no forgiveness for killing!"

Atlas's brow furrowed again. He sighed secretly.

There were only two guards at the entrance of his Holy Prince's Palace.

Whoever came to visit his holy prince's palace, no matter who it was, he would ask the guards to treat him with courtesy.

"Presumptuous, this is the Holy Prince, we are going to go in and see the Prince Regent!"

The leader of the guards shouted at the guards.

The guards were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.

"Meet the Holy Prince!"

“……”

"Get up, my fourth brother is in the house today, right?"

"Returning to the Holy Prince's words, the Prince Regent is in the palace. The little ones are going to tell you!" said one of the guards.

"No need to say!" Atlas waved his hand and said, "Our own brothers meet, we don't need to be so formal!"

As he spoke, he raised his legs and walked towards the house.

Of course, these guards did not dare to disobey Atlas.

Moreover, according to the news, Prince Zunsheng is about to be crowned crown prince.

This is the supreme ruler of a country, where dare they stop it.

Atlas, of course, didn't know what was going on in the hearts of these guards.

Walking into the Prince's Palace, the decoration inside made him stunned.

It's extravagant!

Who has seen paving with white jade?

Pillars made of gold, ceilings made of pearls of the night......

All the way over, I saw people up and down the house, people in and out, they were gorgeously dressed, and their clothes were decorated with jewelry.

This wealth can be completely rich and rival the country!

At this moment, there was a sound of frolicking not far away.

"Lord Wang, I think something is still missing in my room!" said a squeamish female voice.

"You say what you have less, and I'll have someone add it tomorrow. Isn't it gold and jewelry!" said a man's voice.

"Lord Wang, there is something missing in my room!"

"Yes, everybody!" the man laughed.

"But, today, you must let me know what true happiness is!"

"Lord Wang, we must let you experience what true happiness is!"

“……”

Then came the sound of trotting footsteps.

"Lord Wang, this is the account collected on this date, please take a look. A man's voice said.

The man known as the prince said, "That is, the chief steward, let me hear it." ”

"Lord, this date ......"

After a while, the man was heard slapping the table and saying, "Why did you collect such a little? Not enough! In the future, each merchant will have to pay an extra two taels of silver a day! No, three taels! You tell them that if it is less than that, they will not operate." There are people who want to rush to run it!"

"Lord Wang, this is arranged for the small ones!"

Subsequently, the general manager continued: "Lord Wang, in addition to the management fee, some of the shops we have participated in the operation of ourselves, these days, the turnover has also increased a lot!"

“……”

After listening to the conversation, Atlas couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

70,000 merchants have to collect 210,000 taels of silver every day, and this is only an additional management fee.

Moreover, in the kingdom of Atlantis, the king had long made it clear that officials were not allowed to engage in business. Not to mention the prince of a territory, which is absolutely not allowed.

He didn't feel the need to go any further.

Is this still his fourth brother?

He remembered his fourth brother when he was a child, and he still got along with him the most.

People have changed too much.

He waved his hand at the leader of the guards and turned to leave.

On the way back, he thought about the scene he saw, remembered what Zhiran said, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Extravagance and greed to the extreme.

Fourth brother, fourth brother!

Life Fort.

The information gathered by the other guards was not what Atlas wanted, but it was telling the truth.

This is a country where there is no cure.

Atlas felt that darkness hung over the entire kingdom of Atlantis.

Back in the eye area, Atlas went directly into the palace.

Art managed to meet him in the harem.

"Wang'er, can you gain anything from this trip to the castle of life?"

Atlas reported what he had seen and heard to Arter successfully.

Art Success just frowned and frowned.

He paid attention to whether the princes had changed the law according to the core of his statecraft, and he did not pay attention to the extravagance and greed of the princes.

Immediately, he smiled and said, "Wang'er, what would your father do if the entire kingdom of Atlantis were to be entrusted to you to manage?"

His eyes were fixed on the change in expression on Atlas's face.

To his delight, Atlas's face remained the same, and he only replied respectfully: "Father, the rule of the country, the rule of law and benevolence must go hand in hand. Rulers should have the world in mind. ”

Art nodded approvingly.

He had been secretly inspecting Atlas for more than a day or two, and the questioning just now was just to test Atlas's reaction.

He felt that it was time for Atlas to replace him in ruling the entire country.

……

Not to mention that Arter's decision to succeed had been finalized, what Atlas didn't expect was that his appearance in the Fort of Life, just as he returned to the Eye Central District, someone reported this information to the ears of the Prince Regent.

Prince Regent Arter Satan was a scheming man, and he immediately investigated Atlas's arrival at the Fort of Life, only to learn that Atlas had entered his palace but had not come to see him.

The time of checking is the time when he and the prince's palace, that is, the general manager, check the accounts.

I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although there was no news in the palace that the king was going to crown Atlas as the crown prince, he deliberately created this news among the people, the purpose of which was to prevent Atlas from becoming the crown prince.

Because among so many princes, except for Atlas, whose abilities surpassed him, he didn't pay attention to the other princes at all.

He was looking for all kinds of opportunities to get rid of Atlas.

Nowadays, people have not been eliminated, but their problems have been discovered by the other party.

It's worth it!

Arter Satan thought about it for a long time in the prince's palace, gathered a few more cronies, called his master, and went in a hurry.

Go is also a rough man, and he only has Artean Satan in his eyes.

After listening to Att's Satan's words, he grinned and said, "Prince Regent, what's so difficult about this, just wait for the teacher to kill him!"

Arter Satan had this idea in his heart, and before the change, he would have hesitated again and again, but the current situation made him have a kind of dog jumping off the wall.

So he said: "Teacher, I also have this intention, but according to rumors, the Zhizhi in the Great King's Palace is a diehard loyalist of Atlas, and the exercises of Zhizhi are unfathomable, not only is it not under the teacher, but it may be above the teacher." Moreover, I knew that not only were my disciples all over the world, but I was also deeply favored by my father. ”

It seemed that the world was under his control, and when he heard Ater Satan say that he knew it, he immediately calmed down.

After a while, he said, "If this matter is known and intervened, we should be cautious!"

Arter Satan also nodded yes.

He also has a plan, if he can be elected as the crown prince, the first person to win over is to know it.

Therefore, he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Zhizhiran.

Go also hurriedly said: "Since it can't be done to kill him, we can use other methods!"

Art's Satan's eyes lit up and he said, "Teacher, please tell me your high opinion!"

"Just let him make some mistakes and be discovered by you, and then you will naturally become the prince!" said in a hurry.

I have to say that although he is a rough man, it does not mean that he has no scheming.

Arte-Satan felt that it was feasible to go in a hurry.

He immediately explained some things to his cronies, and then, he hurriedly discussed it with him, and a large net about dealing with Atlas was spread.

Of course, Atlas didn't know that his fourth brother was already secretly thinking about how to calculate him.

At this time, in the Great Palace, there are lanterns, and the court is up and down, gathering in the Great Palace.

Because, the Kingdom of Atlantis is going to screen the crown prince!

The ten princes were all present in the palace at this time.
