Chapter 40: Li Chengfeng's Guilty Evidence!
"Well, I've found it?" said Mr. Shen Chai couldn't help but ask.
"Your Excellency, please see. Yu Ziqi waved his hand, and a map flew out of his sleeve and spread out in the air.
Mountains and rivers and forests appeared, and at the same time, text marks appeared.
On this delicate map, there are three points of light that are shining.
"Huh? Poison Miasma...... So close to Wanfeng City?" Shen Chai quickly calculated the distance between these places and Wanfeng City in his heart.
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked, these three marking points are less than an hour's distance from Wanfeng City.
"This Li Chengfeng is so bold that he dares to do things under the nose of the army. ”
Yu Ziqi also sighed: "It's dark under the lamp, the farther away you are, the more hidden it may be." Maybe some adventurer inadvertently broke in. ”
"On the contrary, in the vicinity of Wanfeng City, the chance of being found is even smaller. ”
"Wanfeng City is a hundred miles away, there are almost no fierce beasts, and there are few weaker demon beasts. Most of the teams that hunted demon beasts would be hundreds of miles away from Wanfeng City.
Moreover, this poisonous miasma, surrounded by poisonous mist miasma, the innate realm is not protected by a flying boat, and it will not last long in this place.
There are only two or three materials that can be called specialty, and the range of dispersion is extremely large.
It is not very attractive to the Spirit Bridge Realm, and there will be no leader to venture into this poisonous miasma. ”
Shen Chai nodded.
Poisonous miasma, producing three kinds of materials, are also materials for formation refiners, which are of medium value to the innate realm, but the congenital realm, first, it is difficult to enter, and secondly, the materials are difficult to find.
Lingqiao Realm, it is possible to go, but the time and energy spent are not equal to the harvest, and usually few people go to the poisonous miasma.
As a result, this poisonous miasma, which was only three or four hundred miles outside of Wanfeng City, became a shadow area that was overlooked on the map.
"Li Chengfeng built a city in the poisonous miasma to enslave the soldiers and civilians, is it just for those materials?" Shen Chai asked.
"So far. ”
Yu Ziqi saw that Shen Chai was a little puzzled, and suddenly said: "Adults, don't underestimate the poisonous miasma. ”
"The person who secretly contacted me gave me a piece of information, and they speculated that the materials in the poisonous miasma, if effectively mined, would be enough to be excavated for hundreds of years. A year's income is at least 100 million high-grade spirit stones. ”
"So many?" Shen Chai was also startled when he heard this number.
The entire net worth of that Sword Sixteen adds up to only about 1.5 million.
Sword Sixteen, a genius sword cultivator, a second-order supernatural power, is only that.
Li Chengfeng is a titled captain, and he actually earns hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit stones in a year!
100 million high-grade spirit stones, what is this concept?
Li Chengfeng's annual income exceeded the entire net worth of seventy second-order supernatural powers!
"How can Poison Miasma have such a high profit. Shen Chai frowned.
"Your Excellency, I'm afraid you forgot. Yu Ziqi shook his head and said. "These three city strongholds are completely 'non-existent', which is equivalent to black industry, and there is no need to pay any taxes to the Tianxin Palace. ”
"And since it's a slave, Li Chengfeng doesn't have to pay his subordinates much money at all, as long as he doesn't die. ”
"Hmph! Outside Wanfeng City all the way to the Canglan River defense line, it all belongs to the territory of the Wu'an Army, which is a military property. He Li Chengfeng took the poisonous miasma as his own, concealed it and did not report it, and evaded taxes, which was really bold and reckless. In this matter, I am afraid that even the Liang Wangfu has a part in it. ”
Shen Chai sneered in his heart, the military forces in Wanfeng City have benefits for guarding the border city, which is inevitable, but it is only thirty percent of the tax.
If it is exaggerated, it will not exceed fifty percent.
However...... It's just taxes!
All assets, such as the output of ore veins, as well as the spiritual fields of the city, etc., are nominally owned by the Wu'an army, that is, the imperial court.
Only the industries within Wanfeng City can be completely classified as individuals.
Li Chengfeng's move is tantamount to taking away the entire output, not to mention paying taxes. Of course, you earn more.
If you are in a high position, you will not take more or less in the army, as long as you do not exceed the bottom line.
However, Li Chengfeng's move was out of bounds.
Without the support of Liang Wangfu behind him, give him Li Chengfeng a hundred guts, and he would not dare to do this!
Shen Chai finally understood why everyone was just investigating Li Chengfeng secretly, even if they had the information, they didn't dare to investigate it openly.
Except for Wu Anhou, who dares to shake the Liang Palace?
"Embezzling communism and evading taxes is one of them. Yu Zi said. "At this point, since Li Chengfeng has been fine for a few years, I'm afraid he won't be able to defeat him. ”
Shen Chai nodded and motioned for Yu Ziqi to continue.
"The second, and most important point, is the enslavement of the second Zhou people, as well as the soldiers in the Wu'an army. ”
"There are two parts of the source of the secondary Zhou people, one is the aborigines who fought outside the sect and captured them. ”
Shen Chai nodded, Li Chengfeng, as a titled captain, does have this ability.
"The other part was secretly bought from the sectarian community. ”
"Buy?" Shen Chai frowned slightly.
"Yes, the masters of the Fangwai sects, over the years, there have been acts of invading the border and plundering the population, some of the sects are to strengthen themselves, and some of them are in order to make quick profits, they first loot these people, and then sell them to the border army. ”
Yu Ziqi said lightly: "In this way, the sect will profit, and the border army will gain military merits." Both are profitable. ”
"It is impossible to buy and sell the second Zhou people in the army, and if it is rented, the cost is greater, and its basic survival must be guaranteed, and if there are large-scale deaths and injuries among the workers, the responsible officials must also be held accountable. ”
And Li Chengfeng bought and sold in this way, the price was extremely low, and even if thousands of people died, there was no need to worry about accountability, because these people were equivalent to slaves, and they did not exist on the register of origin of the Wu'an army. ”
Go on. A trace of anger flashed in Shen Chai's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"The efficiency of ordinary people, after all, is lower. And the recruitment standard in the Wu'an Army, the lowest is the seventh order of the day after tomorrow, and there is a fixed part of the cultivation of the Tianxin Palace, and it does not take too long to reach the ninth order of the day after tomorrow. ”
"Mining materials in the poisonous miasma, of course, requires a large number of martial artists, and the greater the number of acquired martial artists and innate martial artists, the greater the benefits. ”
"Li Chengfeng's enslavement of people in the Wu'an army has two sources.
"First, in order to lie about the battle damage, when he went out to fight, he slightly increased the number of his own casualties, and turned the originally living soldiers into soul slaves and sent them to the poisonous miasma. These people belonged to the dead in the Wu'an army, but they were actually alive. ”
"The second is to hide from the world. ”
"The number of battle losses can't be too exaggerated, he can quietly enslave some of the soldiers who still have military status, send them to the poison miasma in their spare time, and call them back to fight in wartime. ”
"Then how did he evade the detection of the power of the Divine Statue of the Heavenly Heart Temple?" Shen Chai frowned.
The Soul Forbidden Technique, if you enter Wanfeng City, it is likely to be discovered.
"It's easy to do. Yu Zi said. "It's a rotational substitute. ”
"Hiss~" Shen Chai couldn't help but gasp.
Wu Anjun hates soul slavery, so he will naturally be very wary of this situation.
Suppose a sectarian alliance master soul slave and controls a leader, or even a captain...... At a critical moment, the damage to the army is incalculable.
Therefore, there are also regulations in the army, every once in a while, every soldier above the congenital realm under the command of the commander and captain must all return to Wanfeng City.
On the surface, it is a review, but in fact, it is to check whether there are enslaved soldiers.
This kind of review is to see if there is a forbidden soul planted. Second, whether there is an unwarranted shortage of people.
If the whole group is united, in response to the infiltration of the sectarian alliance into the Wu'an Army, this approach can indeed eliminate the existence of undercover agents to the greatest extent.
However, once a general in a high position himself also enslaves his subordinates, it can be very secretive.
The soldiers of all sides of the Wu'an Army often have a large number of soldiers fighting outside, or killing monsters, and adventuring in secret realms......
If you want to recall a large number of soldiers for review, you must notify in advance, once Li Chengfeng is prepared.
He could have temporarily borrowed an equal number of soldiers from other lieutenants to make up for the shortfall.
There is a supernumerary system, which is all too common.
Wait for the review to pass, and then return it.
In this way, a thousand innate realms, enslaving one or two hundred, and being transferred to the poisonous miasma, are not inconspicuous at all, because when the review was conducted, Li Chengfeng had a thousand teams under his command that were not enslaved at all.
"Isn't there a way to prevent one's own people from using the Soul Forbidden Method?" Shen asked. "For example, unified large-scale spot checks. ”
"It's not that easy. Yu Ziqi shook his head and said. "Unless Wu Anhou decides to start a big war, unify the whole army, and recall all the soldiers in a centralized manner. Or the joint defense military exercise of the three armed forces every five years, or the emperor descends to the border army to review the army. ”
"Otherwise, an army of millions, distributed from all sides, no one would dare to give such an order. ”
"And even if it's an emergency recall, it will take some time. For example, if you are entangled in the secret space and can't get out, or you can't rush back as soon as you go deep behind enemy lines......"
Yu Ziqi sighed and said: "I really can't hide it, these innate realms will turn into 'war damage', but they just give up some of their interests."
For fear of exposure, it will even be actually disposed of, just in case. ”
"Hiss~" Shen Chai couldn't help but take a deep breath.
You can't guard against external sectarian alliances, but you can't prevent wicked people from within.
As soon as the malpractice is discovered, the punishment of those subordinates immediately, and the guilt of losing more than the standard of battle is lower than the felony of being found to be enslaved by the soul.
"When the news of Li Chengfeng's title of Lieutenant came out last year, he kept a lot of low profile, as far as I know, the scale of his enslavement was originally several times larger. ”
"My lord, I'm afraid this matter is not only Li Chengfeng, a named captain, once the investigation continues, it will be widely implicated......"
Yu Ziqi hesitated for a moment, and took out another piece of information from his arms: "Even the Yun clan seems to have this situation......"
"What, Senior Brother Yun also did this?" Shen Chai's heart suddenly burst.
"It doesn't have to be Captain Yun. Yu Zi said. "The level of enslavement usually doesn't dare to affect the Dao Commander level, and Captain Yun may not know about it. ”
The Commander level, compared to the 100,000 Innate Realm, is much less, and it is easy to unify and convene, so very few people have touched this level and dare to enslave a Commander, if they find out that it was done by their own people, it will be a capital crime.
And the innate realm, the number is huge, so it is much simpler.
"The information is left, Mr. can go down and rest, how to deal with it, I need to think about it. Shen Chai had a gloomy face and left both pieces of information.
"Yes. Yu Ziqi retreated.
"Wait. Shen Chai stopped Yu Ziqi again, and then turned out a blood source crystal in his hand.
"This Blood Crystal, maybe it can heal Mr.'s internal injuries. ”
"Blood Origin Crystal?" Yu Ziqi suddenly became a little excited, of course he recognized what kind of treasure this was.
It is more effective than any panacea for repairing body damage!
"Thank you, sir. Yu Ziqi respectfully took the blood source crystal.
After Yu Zi left in the period, Shen Chai rubbed his brows, and after thinking for a while, he sent a spiritual message to Yun Duo.
Airplanes~
The phantom of Yunduo appeared in the room.
"Haha, Shen Chai, why are you looking for me at this time?" Yun Duo smiled, obviously in a good mood.
"Thanks to your information, I've got a top fifty lineage, which will help me a lot. Speaking of which, Senior Brother is really stained with your light this time. ”
"Congratulations, senior brother. Shen Chai said with a smile. "I contacted Senior Brother this time, I was looking for you for something. ”
"Just ask, do you want to deal with Li Chengfeng? Unfortunately, I was looking for someone to practice my hands now, and I heard that he seemed to be being hunted down and killed, so he had to leave this Ciyun world. ”
"He really has this kind of strength?" Shen remembered the mysterious 'Black Demon' Daoist.
Shaking his head, Shen Chai said, "That's not the case, please read this information of mine first." ”
Shen Chai passed on the information collected by Yu Ziqi.
Yu Ziqi only said that it was the Yun clan, because there were still many Yun clan people in the army who were officials, and some of them even had a high status, and they even reached the rank of captain.
Although he had a very close relationship with Bai Yunfeng, after all, it was not proved that Bai Yunfeng was also involved, so Shen Chai also immediately asked Yun Duo to verify it.
After a few moments, the smile on Yun Duo's face faded and became more and more ugly.
"Bastard!" Yun Duo couldn't help but say angrily. "These brutes are simply a shame on the family!"
"Senior brother, is this information true?"
"At least seven have come true. Shen said.
"Thank you, junior brother, I will immediately send someone to cut with these people, and at the same time check the situation of my Baiyun Peak. Yun Duo said.
The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, many of them were his clansmen, even brothers and nephews, and the Yun Chamber of Commerce was involved.
Moreover, on Baiyun Peak, there is also a suspicion that the hands and feet of the commander are not clean and participate in this dark lawlessness.
Although he didn't know about it, once it happened, he, the title of captain, would not escape the blame.
Even if those people of the Yun clan only had dealings with him Baiyun Peak and were implicated, the future of his titled captain would be overshadowed.
"Senior brother didn't know, so I was relieved. Shen Chai shook his head.
"Senior brother, what do you want to do collecting these things?" Yun Duo frowned. It is impossible for Shen Chai to investigate him, and the only explanation is that when he collected the rest of the information, he found information that was unfavorable to him.
"I want to impeach Li Chengfeng. ”
