Chapter 506: The Dark Tide is surging
"If you talk about things that you don't want outsiders to know, this place is undoubtedly the best place." Liu Yi looked at the young man in front of him with a smile and said, "Now I have an important thing for you to do, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
The young man glanced at Liu Yi a few times and said, "Boss, if you have anything, just say it, if it's something that really interests me, I won't take a penny." ”
"Haha, you must be very interested in this matter." Liu Yi's laughter was like a night owl, with a little coldness, and said, "Zhou Chen, do you know? ”
"You're talking about the Cult King of the Ghost Mask Organization?" The young man's eyes suddenly flashed, his fists clenched suddenly, and his eyes looked directly at Liu Yi, wanting to get an answer.
"Yes, this is the person, I don't know if you're interested?" Liu Yi looked at the young man with a smile on his face, although the person in front of him was not so famous, but his awesome Liu Yi really understood, and he was able to live in that war-torn place in North Africa for such a long time, and even those crazy people didn't dare to give him anything, which is enough to prove that this person has good means.
After all, in that chaotic place, if you don't have enough strength, you can't get the respect and awe of others.
"Hehe, since it's him, then I'll take it." The young man became a little eager to try, and he couldn't wait to fly to Huaxia to find Zhou Chen to fight for his life.
"Haha, so I don't know when you're leaving?" Liu Yi was also a little impatient, since Zhou Chen appeared, he couldn't sleep well every night, for fear that Zhou Chen would cut off his head unknowingly.
This is like a nightmare, tormenting him, and it is really difficult for Zhou Chen to feel at ease if he does not die.
"As soon as possible." After the young man finished speaking, he went out of the house and went down the mountain in spite of the wind and rain.
After the young man had been gone for a long time, Leo Yi lit a cigar and smoked it slowly, and when he had smoked all of his cigarettes, he left for the mountain.
At this time, Zhou Chen didn't know that a beheading operation against him was already quietly unfolding in the distant United States.
The Lord's Mansion, the meeting room.
Zhou Chen sat on the main seat, looked at the four middle-aged people sitting on the left and right with a complimenting smile on their faces, and said, "I don't know, what is the so-called coming?" ”
When these people came just now, Gong Tianshi told Zhou Chen their identities.
These four people respectively represented, Shinong Industry and Commerce.
The two people sitting on the left are Yang Zixing and He Zaigui.
The Yang family is an extremely important family in Xiguan City, they control everything in the entire Xiguan City, it can be said that if the people of their family want to treat this city lord as a puppet, it is completely possible, because almost all the people in their family are officials of Xiguan City.
It involves all aspects of Xiguan City, and it can be truly done, and the decree can't get out of the city lord's mansion.
And this He family, that is not a simple family, because almost half of the land on the streets of Xiguancheng belongs to their family, and even those farmers are tenants of their family, and they are the largest landlords in Xiguancheng.
And the two people sitting on the right are the representatives of industry and commerce, the Qian family and the Wang family.
The Qian family, just from the literal sense, can feel that this family is a real rich family, all the workshops in Xiguancheng belong to their family, so many people in Xiguancheng are employed by their family's workshops, and like this He family, all handicraftsmen rely on their family for food.
And this Wang family, that is the merchant family, almost the entire trading shop in Xiguan City is also in their hands.
The words they say are almost more effective than what the lord of the city says, so every city lord is just a good person to curry favor.
If you have offended them, you will have no good fruit to eat.
Therefore, there is a sentence outside, this city lord can not be without, but these four major families cannot be without, this city lord is only in name, and their four major families are the ones who really grasp this Xiguan City.
And what else can they do when they find Zhou Chen?
Test? Or is it a showdown?
"Hehe, Lord City Lord, we four old things, we don't want to discuss something with Lord City Lord today." Yang Zixing smiled and clenched his fists to Zhou Chen on the main seat, and said: "This city guard, there was a lot of trouble in the market yesterday, I don't know if you know the city lord?" ”
Zhou Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, what did this person pay attention to? It seems that this is extremely dissatisfied, and he took the city guards in his hands with lightning speed.
"Well, I've heard a little about this, too." Zhou Chen nodded and admitted that he knew about this, and then said: "I have investigated this matter clearly, they have all received orders from the previous city lord, otherwise they would not have done this kind of thing that is undoubtedly hurtful, after all, many soldiers and their families are in this city, after all, it is their duty to obey orders as soldiers." ”
"Hehe, Lord of the City, you mean that this matter is settled?" He Zaigui couldn't sit still for a moment, and interjected: "These people are robbing and smashing, they can't even tell whether this order is good or bad, what's the use of us leaving this kind of scum?" ”
"Then the city lord wants to know, what are you going to do with them?" Zhou Chen looked at He Zaigui with a smile on his face and said, "Could it be that they were all killed?" ”
"Lord Castle, is that what you mean?" He Zaigui looked at Zhou Chen in surprise and said, "As long as they are compensated three times the market price, it will be enough." ”
I have to say, no matter how expensive this is, he deserves to be a rich man, this abacus clangs, half of the land in this city is his, as long as the buildings above are also his in a sense, then if it is calculated like this, even if Zhou Chen is compensated as pants, it will not be able to pay it back.
"Lord City Lord, yesterday the city guards took away my family's ancestral Heshi Bi, I wonder if the City Lord can help ask for it back?" Wang Zishan made an expression of wanting to cry without tears, stood up, and kept clasping his fists at Zhou Chen, pretending to be like him.
"Oh? No way? Zhou Chen pretended to be surprised and stood up from the main seat, came to Wang Zishan, helped him to sit on the seat, and said, "The city lord will definitely help you get things back, it's really too lawless." ”
When Yang Zixing saw Zhou Chen's angry look, the four of them couldn't help but glance at each other, and they could clearly see the joy in each other's eyes.
"Then thank you, Lord Castle." Yang Zixing hugged his fists and saluted Zhou Chen.
"Haha, why don't you say thank you." Zhou Chen laughed, sent a few people out, and then returned to the living room, and said to Gong Tianshi, who was holding a teacup and drinking tea there, "These people are really coming fast, what do you think we should do?" ”
"City Lord, these people are here to test you, if we do things their way." Speaking of this, Gong Tianshi put down the teacup and said with a smile on his face: "City Lord, what do you say it will be like?" ”
"These people are not to be feared." Zhou Chen said with a nonchalant face: "What they have, we don't have, but what we have is different for them to leave." ”
"City Lord, you mean?" Gong Tianshi looked at Zhou Chen with a surprised expression, if he really did that, he would be in big trouble, and hurriedly said: "City Lord can't, the gains outweigh the losses in this way, if those guys are forced to a dead end, maybe they will jump off the wall in a hurry." ”
"I'm afraid that they won't jump, these guys will be in a day, and we will be constrained by them for a day, like a fish bone stuck in the throat." Zhou Chen said with a gloomy face: "These people, if you can ask me to do this today, they will let me do that tomorrow, so if you want to do it, you will have to kill it with a stick, and if you don't kill it, it will cause endless trouble!" ”
Cold sweat began to break out on Gong Tianshi's forehead, and he persuaded: "City Lord, although these people deserve to die, if you do it now, then this Xiguan City will really be in chaos." ”
"It's good to mess up, I'm afraid they won't mess up." Zhou Chen smiled: "Hehe, as long as there is really chaos, we can punish them, these people have been the emperor of the soil for a long time, so they think that they really do things in accordance with their rules?" This Xiguancheng, since they want to control it so much, why don't they come out to bid on it themselves? What do you say their purpose is? ”
After pondering for a moment, the Bow Heavenly Master said, "Could it be because they are afraid that this balance will not be broken?" ”
"Heavenly Master, you are extremely right, these four families are dependent on each other, and only when they really form a group can they elevate this city lord." Zhou Chen patted the bow heavenly master on the shoulder and said, "Therefore, none of them came out to choose this city lord, what they are afraid of is that this balance will be broken, once this balance is broken, then the four of them will be destroyed." ”
"Isn't it true that you don't mean to use force, but to break their balance?" Although Gong Tianshi came from a big family, and he has studied with the famous generation of dart kings in the Western Regions for so long, this is something in the category of martial arts after all, and when it comes to conspiracy, this is not his forte.
He knew that this was Zhou Chen teaching him, so he hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Zhou Chen.
"Force is always a guarantee of success, and if there is no strong force as a guarantee, everything will be a lie." After Zhou Chen sat down, he took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and then continued: "Now I have something that I need you to do, are you willing?" ”
Gong Tianshi hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Please ask the city lord to command." ”
"You and Brother Tian are responsible for investigating everything in these four major families, as well as observing their recent actions." Zhou Chen's face suddenly became serious, and he said, "If they have any abnormal movements, they can come back and report to me at any time." ”
"City Lord, don't worry." Gong Tianshi couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, could it be that these four major families still dared to use any means? Although they control everything in the entire Xiguan City, the city guards are now firmly controlled by Hao Dahao and Zhang Tianyou!
Could it be that the people of these families are crazy?
Yes, the people of the four major families have gone crazy, and they couldn't sit still after receiving that the new city lord had entered the barracks with people this morning.
Once this city guard really falls into the hands of the city lord, then no matter how many guards they have, they are not opponents, so they came together in order to test the truth.
said that the city guards snatched and smashed their things, but in fact, it was all a pretense, in order to find out what kind of person Zhou Chen, the new city lord, was.
In the eyes of the residents of Xiguan City, these people are undoubtedly ruffians, and things such as not giving money for food and not giving money for food have become the norm, and at most they will scold a few words afterwards and consider themselves unlucky.
