Splendid City, the city lord's mansion.

"If it weren't for the fact that I had a good relationship with Yu Haihong, I wouldn't have seen you, so what is the matter?"

The city lord guard made Zhu Hui's eyes never look at the gifts on the table, and said lightly after taking a sip of tea.

A woman standing in front of the table was none other than Xin Yi of the Yu family, and said softly when she heard this: "City Lord, the little woman wants to ask why the peace tax of Splendid City has suddenly increased by 30% this year, and she also has to collect a year's tax silver in advance?"

Hum~

Zhu Hui's face changed, and he was as cold as frost: "The peace tax of Splendid City has never had anything to do with the City Lord's Mansion, I think Mrs. Xin may have misunderstood." The old man still has official business, so he won't send it!"

"Little girl farewell!"

Xin Yi knew that she was a woman, and she knew how difficult it was for a woman to be in charge of the Tianyu Empire, but she didn't expect the city lord to be so unsympathetic, and she had to bow and prepare to leave.

Bang Bang~

Zhu Hui tapped his fingers on the tabletop: "No merit, please bring things back." By the way, tell Brother Haihong that if he needs the help of the old man for his illness, he can come to me. ”

The changes in the Yu family's peace tax, as the city lord, naturally knew about it.

However, he didn't break it, and he didn't plan to inquire about Yu Huan, knowing in his heart that he would definitely not be able to wade into this troubled water.

The little woman must convey the intention of the lord of the city and take her leave. ”

The major gangs in Splendid City have always been the eagle dogs of the City Lord's Mansion, since the City Lord intends to make things difficult, Xin Yi no longer begs, politely beckons his entourage to come in and put away the gifts, and once again respectfully salutes and turns to leave.

The cold gaze seemed to be thinking about something.

A full quarter of an hour passed like this, and Zhu Hui retracted his thoughts and said softly: "What a mysterious person." ”

Dada~

"Tell your lordship, the prisoner has not seen Lord Wei Zehong outside. ”

The sound of hurried iron armor bursts, and the voice of the guards sounded outside the door.

Zhu Huiyin raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Tell him that I am sick, and I just fell asleep after taking medicine!"

After the guards left, Zhu Hui snorted coldly, and Gu Zi picked up the scroll in his hand and read it again.

Yu Mansion, Yu Haihong Mansion.

The servant replied respectfully: "Madam, the head of the family is now recuperating behind closed doors, and I have instructed you to take charge of all the affairs of the house." ”

Wow~

"Could it be... Forget it. ”

Xin Yi returned to Yu's house, but she didn't expect to touch the old man's nose again, and when she wanted to say something more, the words came to her mouth and swallowed back, flicked her sleeves and turned around angrily.

Things are too strange, and the safety tax of various chambers of commerce and businesses in the entire Splendid City has been reduced by one percent.

Only the Yu family not only did not drop, but also charged an extra 30%, and even more excessively, they had to collect the next year's safety tax in advance.

The money and silver that Xin Yi can control are not enough to pay the Ping An tax.

Before his buttocks sat down in the chair, the servant approached with tea and whispered, "Madam, the shopkeepers have been waiting outside for a long time to see you." ”

Hum~

"Didn't you tell them to go back to the cabinet, why did they come back again?!"

The annoying things were one after another, so that Xin Yi, who had just come back, didn't have time to take a breath and drink saliva, how could she not be angry, and she was angry and had to endure it: "Let them come in!"

Whoa~

After a while, the servants led a dozen big shopkeepers to the door, and the servants stopped and the big shopkeepers walked in one after another.

Xin Yi took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "Say, what's the matter?"

"Mrs. Hui, all the restaurants, commercial houses, and shops of the Yu family are surrounded by major gangs, and the business is really impossible. "Yu Hongde is the oldest among the major shopkeepers, and he is also a member of the Yu family, and he is the first to serve as the big shopkeeper.

Seeing that Xin Yi didn't seem to have the intention of speaking, Yu Hongde gritted his teeth and said: "There are a total of eighty-three shareholders who have invested in the Yu family's various businesses, and now all of them are going to withdraw their share capital;

Bang~

"That's enough! Hongde shopkeeper, what's the point of saying this? I will naturally arrange all the things up and down the Yu family, if all of you still remember your identity, then return to the cabinet immediately, I don't want to have a next time, otherwise... Don't blame me for being rude!"

Xin Yi was still a little anxious and worried, but the more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, she guessed that this should be the ghost of the old man Yu Haihong, so she suddenly became angry and raised her hand and slapped it on the table.

All the shopkeepers were taken aback, but the expressions on everyone's faces were even more puzzled.

When is it, why is this Xin Yi still holding a stinky shelf, can it be said that everyone is doing nothing?

Everyone has resentment in their eyes, and everyone has hatred in their hearts.

At the moment when the outbreak was about to break out, Yu Hongde stopped everyone's movements with a look, and then he respectfully saluted Xin Yi: "The head of the family has an order, and all the affairs of the Yu Mansion are in charge of you. The situation is a little weird, please consider how to deal with it, and I will say goodbye!"

Sigh~

The jade face was red, and after all the shopkeepers left, the servant hurriedly stepped forward to fan Xin Yi.

"What bullshit, how did a bunch of brainless pigs become shopkeepers?"

Gu Dong Gu Dong drank the cup of tea in one go, Xin Yi gritted her teeth to vent her anger, and now she concluded that this change must be a conspiracy behind the old man: "Is the master coming back soon?"

"If Mrs. Hui speaks, I should return to Splendid City before noon today. The servant waved his fan cautiously, and even more cautiously replied to his master's words.

Dada~~~

Another rush of footsteps sounded far away outside the courtyard, and Xin Yi's eyebrows that had just stretched tightened again.

"Husband, madam, it's not good, in the entire Splendid City, no one has to do business with our Yu Mansion..."

It was the second housekeeper of the Yu Mansion who ran in, and it was also the old man Xin Yi brought from his mother's house, and before his feet had stepped into the threshold, a sad face poked out first.

Xin Yi really wanted to be angry, but she really couldn't get angry with her cousin, so she puffed out her cheeks for three breaths before she asked coldly, "What the hell is going on?"

Grunt~

"It's not that the old man is coming back today, and the little one took a few people to the city to buy some fresh meat and vegetables, but no one of the trading houses sold it to me, even the vendors who set up stalls on the roadside didn't sell it to me. After questioning, I learned that Splendid City had issued an order at some point, no one in any firm was allowed to do business with the Yu family, otherwise they would have to be charged an extra fifty percent of the peace tax, what do you say about this?"

The niece's look of eating scared Chang Jin, and he shrank his neck before he collapsed word by word, and the beads of sweat on his cheeks also dripped down, and his helpless and panicked eyes paid attention to Xin Yi's reaction from time to time, for fear that if he said something wrong, he would stop it in time.
