When they returned to the town on the edge of the capital, Shen Yanjiao almost didn't know this place, and when they left, it was still full of traders and people, not to mention how prosperous it was. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And now, she was told that this was indeed the place, right? Joke! Only the wind was blowing in the streets, not to mention the vendors, not even two pedestrians.

Shen Yanjiao was really puzzled, and just when she wanted to pull someone over to ask a question, Wei Shenglian stopped her.

"Ah Lian? Do you know why? They...... How did it come to be like this? Shen Yanjiao said incomprehensibly, her eyes full of worry.

"Well, it was like that a year ago." Wei Shenglian said with a solemn face, looking at Shen Yanjiao and Prince Gong, who didn't understand, he had no choice but to tell what he knew.

In fact, there is nothing, nothing more than money.

Since that person ascended the throne, let alone any governance of the country, it was all left to the people below to solve it, and the government and the opposition that Wei Shenglian had finally cleared began to become corrupt again.

Originally, there was King An to help deal with some dignitaries, but when King An rebelled, he no longer entered the palace.

That man spends all day drinking, but it needs money to support it! So all kinds of harsh taxes came out, he didn't dare to leave this throne, don't look at the surface his relationship with Fleur is very good, but he knows in his heart that Fleur has long wanted to replace him.

You can't even leave the capital, so let's start looting from the capital and the surrounding towns! Who is the richest person in the world? Merchant! As a result, the tax from business has risen to seventy percent!

What is the concept of seventy percent? Businessmen come out to make money, and it is already good for a good product to earn 30% of the profit, and then divide 70% of the tax from the 30% profit, what is left of the people?

So they went to the table one after another, but there was only one sentence on it: "Isn't there anything else to earn?" ”

Is that called earning? It's not enough for labor costs and the entanglement of eating! So, the vendors thought that since they couldn't get along in the capital, then I would go to another place.

Then, within a year, many people migrated from the capital and the surrounding towns, and it became an empty city.

There are no vendors, they can only barter if they want to buy things, otherwise they will have to pay taxes! According to Weishenglian, this place is already backward to the scene of hundreds of years ago.

This is also why, he finally made up his mind to return to the capital, and if he didn't come back to stop that person, I am afraid that it will not only be the people around the capital who will suffer next!

Because of that man's actions, the people are all complaining about Wei Shenglian, who let that person look around with his face to dislike people?

On the contrary, the black horse of King An came out, and he immediately noticed what the man was going to do, so he co-opted these people early, sent people to help them move, and then helped them settle elsewhere, and for a time his reputation among the people went straight up.

This is also the reason why he has the courage to stand between the owner and the impostor, and insist on a piece of the pie.

If you please the vendors, why worry about not having the support of money?

Shen Yanjiao listened to Wei Shenglian's words, her face sank little by little, it turned out that in the past few years in southern Xinjiang, so many things had happened in the capital!

"Ah Lian, you were there at the time, why don't you want to stop it? Otherwise, King An will not have a chance to make a move! Shen Yanjiao said puzzled.

"I've thought about it, but ...... No. Wei Shenglian said and sighed.

"The higher authorities have done nothing, and I can't erase the last glimmer of hope for the people." Wei Shenglian said, he was referring to King An.

No matter what King An's purpose was, as long as he was still good to the people, Wei Shenglian had no way to stop him.

Shen Yanjiao quickly figured this out, but her face was even more sad.

With a sigh, Shen Yanjiao's originally high mood immediately became depressed.

finally returned to the capital, but several people were stopped at the city gate.

"Stop!" The soldiers guarding the door saw that Shen Yanjiao and the others wanted to process, so they hurriedly called out to them, but fortunately, in order to avoid unnecessary panic, the three of them all underwent a transformation, and at this time they looked like they were just ordinary rich boys.

But it's also because they're dressed in extraordinary clothes that those people feel like they have oil and water to scrape.

Shen Yanjiao dressed up as a maid, so she had to step forward at this time.

"Brother Cha, my son-in-law is going to enter the capital, is there anything important that you stop us?" Shen Yanjiao asked with "uneasiness".

"Humph! As soon as you look at it, you know that you haven't been in the capital, Tubaozi! Now there is a fee for entering the city, one or two pieces of silver per person, and since you are planning to trespass, you have to add a fine, ...... per person Five taels! ”

The soldier lion at the city gate said loudly, bluffing Shen Yanjiao in place.

She has seen blackmail, but she has never seen such a blatant person who dares to blackmail openly in broad daylight.

His face sank and he just wanted to attack, but he was hurriedly stopped by Wei Shenglian behind him.

"Jiao'er, give it to him." Wei Shenglian said that their status at this time is not good, as long as they can enter this city, everything is easy to say.

Their plan was to go back to the city to arrange matters first, and their people had already gathered on Prince Gong's territory, but they couldn't sneak into the capital.

It was because the soldiers guarding the city gate came to such a hand that they were so obstructed by mistake.

Shen Yanjiao reluctantly gave the money, and then returned to Zao'er with a small mouth, you must know that the three of them are fifteen taels of silver, although they are not bad for money, but Shen Yanjiao can't spend so much money for a year in southern Xinjiang.

Entering the city gate without danger, the soldier looked at the silver money in his hand with saliva, you must know that today he only raised the price by a hundred times on a whim, if it weren't for Shen Yanjiao and the others even having horses to ride, they wouldn't have made this bet.

"Boss, you're really imposing today! What do you think? Take a few sips of my brother tonight? When the other people saw the silver money in the soldier's hand, they all kept their saliva and said flatteringly.

"Go! Go for them all! Let's go to Sixi Building tonight and call a few flower girls to accompany you, hehehe. The man said with a smile, rather smug.

Shen Yanjiao, who had just walked away, retracted her senses, but Shen Yanjiao was a little surprised.

"Sixi Building? Didn't Thriller turn it off later? Shen Yanjiao said suspiciously.

"Sixi Building is no longer the Sixi Building it used to be, as far as I know, the boss behind it is still the old man we know!" The corners of Wei Shenglian's mouth tugged lightly and said.

"Old man? Don't...... It's him! Shen Yanjiao squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes sank.
