Hanzhu Castle, the city lord's mansion.

The Castle Lord's Mansion is located in the center of Hanzhu City, occupying a direct area of one mile, with white buildings and strict guards.

Guo Hei sat in the spacious hall of the City Lord's Mansion, his face was a little haggard, and the dark circles under his eyes showed that the City Lord had not slept well in recent days.

How can you sleep well... Guo Hei kept complaining in his heart, those people in the dark palace were like their brains were in water, and they went crazy to attack Hanzhu Vocational College, and they couldn't understand what they were thinking! Sure enough, they were some unspeakable madmen.

City Lord Guo has a headache now, the Southern Governor's Mansion sent someone to investigate five days ago, and he was given several punishments in a row, and there was such a serious stain on his resume, which had a great impact on his future promotion. Now the Imperial Capital has sent the Shadow Blade to Hanzhu City to investigate...

City Lord Guo can be said to want to cry without tears for this flying disaster. Even the latest is not interested in the concubine I just married...

"City Lord Guo seems to be very tired. Sitting at the conference table in the living room, the man in a black robe suddenly spoke.

"Where, where... This is all what I should do..."City Lord Guo saw cold sweat oozing from his forehead, he was also a low-level [Demon Master], and he didn't sense that there was a person sitting at the conference table next to him before...

"We have begun a survey of the entire city, and according to the instructions of the Imperial Capital, we are qualified to evaluate and report on your work. The black-robed man said nonchalantly.

City Lord Guo shuddered, and cold sweat flowed down.

"Commander Liao, what do you think, then what, you must report truthfully without considering my feelings... You see, I just collected a batch of [Spirit Spring] from a criminal gang last night, you see..."

"Take me to see it. Commander Liao's black robe was raised inadvertently, and there was a slight smile on his face hidden in the darkness.

Commander Liao is very happy, this time the city lord Guo knows how to behave very well, which is like the stupid city lord in Baimo City last time, he only knows how to beg for mercy... He didn't care if the city lords were serious about their work, he only cared about how much benefit he could get from it.

Guo Hei breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked towards the depths of the City Lord's Mansion with Commander Liao.

East Street.

He Yue happily walked through the crowded streets.

"Hurry up, Mo Xiaoye!" the girl looked back dissatisfiedly and glared at the young man who was slowly following behind.

"Xiaoyue, slow down, why are you running so fast?" The young man looked lazy, and his handsome face was full of tiredness.

"We have to finish the [poll] quickly, I always feel that Guo City Lord is weird, he looked at me with disgusting eyes yesterday, he must not be a good person!" He Yue urged dissatisfiedly, she and Mo Xiaoye were both members of the [Shadow Blade], and today they were sent out by Commander Liao to infiltrate the middle and lower classes of Hanzhu City to investigate what the people thought of their Guo City Lord, which will be an important reference index to determine the future of Guo City Lord.

"Don't worry..."Mo Xiaoye looked at He Yue, who was carefree and always with a cheerful smile, and sighed slightly in her heart, how could she not tell her the reality.

He knew very well whether the poll he and He Yue had done was useful, mainly depending on whether the city lord Guo was stupid or not, he had to know how to observe words and feelings, and gave Commander Liao what he wanted, and the poll he and He Yue prepared was meaningless.

"Kids... Why are you here alone?" He Yue suddenly struck up a conversation with a little girl who was only six or seven years old on the street. The little girl is holding a white cat in her arms, which looks like an ordinary domestic pet.

"Mom said let me wait for her here..."The little girl's innocent face was very cute.

"Do you want to eat candy..."He Yue suddenly flipped his wrist like magic, and there was an attractive gummy in his hand.

The little girl obviously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but she seriously refused, "Mom said she couldn't accept gifts from strangers..."

"That sister asks you a question, and if you answer me, I'll give you this candy as a reward, so it's not a gift, right?" He Yue said with a smile.

The little girl stayed for a moment, then nodded with a confused expression.

"Do you like living here?" He Yue asked with a smile.

The little girl thought for a while, "Yes, my mother is very gentle, Nini is very cute, my friends like me very much, and Grandma Li on the other side of my house always gives me candy to eat, super happy... It's just that Dad has been a little troubled lately, and Mom said that Dad's salary is less again... No, it seems that there are more taxes to pay, so the salary has decreased, and my father has not taken me out to eat delicious food for a long time..."The little girl said endlessly.

Tax hike!?

He Yue's eyes flashed with a halo, the residents of the Xingzhu Empire need to pay various [taxes], food taxes, labor taxes every year... Taxes were generally collected at one percent of the income of the inhabitants, which was one of the main sources of the imperial treasury... But the rate of taxation is absolutely not going to change suddenly, and no one except the Imperial Family is qualified to change it... Is that Guo City Lord already bold enough to raise taxes privately, but he wants to exile the army!

"Ahem, Xiaoluo!" a very gentle voice sounded, and a woman with obvious wrinkles on her face walked over quickly.

"Mommy!" the little girl walked over happily.

"Kids, your sugar. He Yue smiled and stuffed the gummies to the little girl, then looked at the child's mother and smiled, "Hello, your daughter is so cute." ”

"This sister gives candy to Xiaoluo to eat, my sister is a good person!" said the little girl with a smile.

A trace of vigilance flashed on Xiaoluo's mother's face, and she was about to say something, when suddenly the little white cat that the little girl had been holding suddenly struggled and jumped up. I even accidentally scratched a paw on the little girl's arm!

The pain was hot, and the little girl cried all of a sudden...

"Don't cry, don't be afraid..."He Yue hurriedly walked over, muttered silently for a while, and a layer of golden lines appeared in the air, where a golden mist emerged, and the golden mist shrouded the little girl, and after a while, the scratched and bleeding parts healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"Thank you, Lord Pastor, for your help!" Xiaoluo's mother hurriedly saluted with gratitude and respect

"Thank you, big sister, Xiaoluo doesn't hurt anymore..."The little girl smiled happily, and suddenly she turned her head to look in the direction where the little white cat had fled, "Nini..."

When He Yue was about to comfort a few words, Mo Xiaoye, who had been watching the play for a long time, suddenly came over and pulled He Yue away.

"There's weirdness, I just sensed the cat's emotions. Mo Xiaoye's serious voice dispelled He Yue's idea of getting angry at him. She knew that he had been sensitive to emotions since he was a child, and after becoming a professional, his stronger perception made this special feeling more accurate.

"It's in fear. Mo Xiaoye's eyes flashed with a dazzling halo, "And not only that, the feeling of this city to me has suddenly changed, and fear has flooded here." ”
