Jiuhua Village, which is officially classified as a low-level village, has an extremely luxurious manor.

The manor is located in the southeast of Jiuhua Village, surrounded by an artificially repaired stream, the white wall is built on the water, about two meters high, covered with black tiles, a bronze gate in the middle is hidden, and the black plaque on the door has three gilded characters of "Shangguan Mansion".

The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, and can be said to be the Tomson zero product in the manor.

The courtyard is connected by a road, dotted with mountains and stones, and the hall closest to the door hangs a plaque with the words "meeting room".

In the spacious living room, the flow of people is surging and quite lively.

At the mahogany table in the center of the hall sat the heads of various shops in Jiuhua Village.

For this powerful Shangguan family who monopolizes the power of Jiuhua Village, although these people in charge have long hated it in their hearts, they only dare to chew a few words behind their backs, and they still have to be respectful to others on the surface, otherwise they will be arranged clearly.

Sitting in the first place is an old man with gray hair, he is the current head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan is a shallow friend, although his strength is only three strong physical realms, he is already an existence like an earth emperor in Jiuhua Village, where martial arts are declining.

Sitting next to him was a pale-faced middle-aged man named Shangguan Liang, who was the son of the old man and the current deacon of Jiuhua Village.

"This month's transaction tax will be raised by another 10%, I wonder if everyone here has any opinions. Seeing that everyone was seated, Shangguan Liang Yi commanded the tunnel.

"What!?"

With an exclamation, the silent hall instantly became noisy, and people began to discuss it one after another.

Now the transaction tax in Jiuhua Village has been as high as 20% of the turnover, if it is increased by 10%, many businesses will operate at a loss, and the Shangguan Mansion is going to force them to death, and they can't care about the prestige of the Shangguan family at this time.

"Deacon. ”

Anyway, it was all dead, and a big man with a beard simply stood up and said coldly: "The Shangguan family has made a lot of money over the years since they entrenched in Jiuhua Village, and the slightly powerful people in the village have secretly sent their children to Qingshan Village, this is a tacit fact that everyone knows, and the Shangguan family doesn't want Jiuhua Village to be empty in the end!"

"Not bad!"

"We, the local merchants, have to leave a way out!"

After the big man made a start, the people who had just instigated a group of people became angry.

"Wang Er. ”

The old man, Shangguan You, stared at the big man who stood up, and suddenly said with a smile: "Are you going to oppose my Shangguan family?"

"Don't dare. ”

Hearing this, Wang Er arched his hand and said: "I only hope that the old man can consider raising the transaction tax again, leaving us a way to live." ”

"Good. Shangguan Youqian knocked on the table, then nodded.

Hearing this, Wang Er's face suddenly showed a burst of ecstasy, he didn't expect the old man to be so approachable.

Looking at Wang Er's eyes narrowed slightly, Shangguan Youqian suddenly grabbed the tea lid in his hand, and then suddenly took it out of his hand and shot away at Wang Er, who was secretly ecstatic.

"Poof..."

The tea cover swirled through the air, and Wang Er didn't have time to dodge at all, and inserted it into his neck.

Looking at Wang Er, who had already died, Shangguan Liang shook his head helplessly and waved his hand at the guards standing aside.

"Ladies and gentlemen. ”

After the guards dragged Wang Er out, Shangguan You said lightly: "Is anyone still willing to accompany Wang Er?" ”

Accompany Wang Er to die?

pursed their lips, and the frightened people naturally knew what Shangguan You's meaning was.

There was a brief silence in the hall.

After a while, everyone finally couldn't resist the pressure and promised to pay the new transaction tax.

Many of them had made up their minds, and after returning today, they began to plan to flee to Qingshan Village, which was the closest to Jiuhua Village.

"Everyone. ”

Smiling with satisfaction in his heart, Shangguan You said with a shallow smile: "These spirit stones overcharged by the Shangguan family did not fall into our own pockets, but were to be handed over to the Tsing Yi Gate. ”

"Tsing Yi Gate?"

With an unaware look, Shangguan Ya said in a questioning tone: "My Jiuhua Village has always been attached to Wuyamen, how could I hand over the spirit stone to Tsing Yi Gate, it is difficult that something has changed." ”

"Not bad. ”

Nodding, Shangguan Youqian said with relief: "The Fengyun Empire focuses its energy on the major cities, and cannot manage a large number of villages, although my Shangguan family is a deacon appointed by the empire, but it also has to use the power of Wuyamen to defend Jiuhua Village, which everyone knows." ”

"Only. ”

After a pause, he said, "Could it be that we can still count on the Boundless Gate now?"

Hearing this, everyone shook their heads helplessly, compared to the spirit stone being snatched away by the Shangguan family, and handing over the spirit stone to the scum Wuyamen, who had only five combat strength, they would feel even more unwilling in their hearts.

"Could it be that my father wants Jiuhua Village to turn to Tsing Yi Gate?" Shangguan Ya said lightly.

"Exactly. ”

Shangguan You said lightly: "I spent a lot of money to get Tsing Yi Men to promise to protect Jiuhua Village, and it is not enough to pay all the spirit stones of the transaction tax, and my Shangguan family has to subsidize some." ”

Looking at the Shangguan father and son who sang and harmonized, the other people in the hall were really a little speechless, these two people were too thick-skinned, right?

Who doesn't know that Elder Youliang of Tsing Yi Sect is your own brother, and if you don't pay enough, you have to subsidize some, we believe you are a ghost.
