The night is as cool as water, and it is already autumn, but the town under the bright lights has its vigor and heat.

In the box, Jin Yuan sat on the lower right side of the main seat, with Wei Tou'er standing beside him with shining-eyed eyes, and the remaining few people lived on their own left and right, all of them approached Jin Yuan, as if they were surrounding him.

And Murong Cheng, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed to be half isolated, and he was out of place with several others.

"Is that true?" Wei Tou'er didn't hear Jin Yuan's answer, so he couldn't help but get closer and asked.

Jin Yuan smiled slightly, glanced at Murong Cheng, caught the displeased look on his face, didn't say anything, turned his head to look at Wei Tou'er, and said with a smile: "Be as real as gold!" ”

"Good!" Wei Tou'er stood up suddenly, striking with both hands, and the first smile of the night appeared on his face.

Boss Zhu and the others looked at each other at first, and then quickly understood, and they were also very excited, and the whispers turned into loud discussions, and the prayers and exclamations in them were all heard in Jin Yuan's ears.

Jin Yuan didn't urge, he waited quietly, and it wasn't until a long time later that Wei Tou'er calmed down, suddenly thought of something, smiled suddenly, and looked sideways at Jin Yuan.

Zhu Boss and the others were still talking as if no one was around, and their tones were full of audible joy, and they didn't notice the change in Wei Tou'er at all.

"Lord Jin said to pay taxes." Wei Tou'er didn't care about others, just looked at Jin Yuan fixedly, and slowly spoke.

"Exactly." Jin Yuan put down the wine glass in his hand and nodded with a smile.

"How to pay taxes? Say specific. Wei Tou'er turned around and sat back, his fingers subconsciously tapping on the table.

When the boss heard this, the few people also quieted down, and suddenly found that they had forgotten such an important issue, and they only thought about those dozens of towns in their hearts, and they instantly regretted it.

When Murong Cheng heard this, he finally found an opportunity to speak, snorted lightly, and said, "Be like an official." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wei Tou'er's expression returned to the original indifference, and Boss Zhu felt that something was blocked in his heart, and he went straight to his throat in one breath.

"You, do you know why the official crossing is depressed and the private crossing is prevalent?" Zhu Boss got up, frowned and asked Murong Cheng.

Murong Cheng had simply endured all the anger of his life tonight, and a little businessman, Boss Jia, dared to question him, and his heart was suddenly angry, even more than before.

"You have disregarded the law and discipline and smuggled and trafficked, and now you are given the opportunity to change your path, and you should be grateful to Dade." Murong Cheng also got up, his fingers passed over everyone present one by one, and finally landed on Wei Tou'er.

Wei Tou'er looked at him coldly, and there was no wave on his face.

"Now that you have signed a contract and paid taxes according to the official system, you are doing business openly, and the court has made such concessions, what are you not satisfied with?" Murong Cheng said that the righteousness Ling Ran said was as if he had suffered a great loss.

However, these words were in the ears of Wei Tou'er and a few people, but he wanted to take the ferry and completely belong to the imperial court, but he just changed the soup and not the medicine, and the ultimate goal was to take them down.

Just imagine, Guandu pays taxes to the imperial court according to fifty percent of the annual profits, but in the name of the imperial court, they are rich in resources, not only have income, but the officials in charge of Guandu also have the money issued by the imperial court.

But what about them?

They make private profits, and they have a large number of helpers under them, and they don't need silver for the goods to come and go, although they can come and go freely in dozens of towns, but the more they collect, the more they turn in, and they don't spend ten times more energy than they do now, and they don't earn as much as they do now?!

"It doesn't look like it's going to work."

Wei Tou'er's tone was light, but the momentum on his body had changed, Jin Yuan finally calmed down, and after Murong Cheng's words, it was instantly in vain.

Murong Cheng didn't plan to sign any contract with these people, what he wanted was to take it in one fell swoop and give his hands to the old emperor to win his trust.

But if they can do what they said, they agree to pay taxes according to Guandu, Murong Cheng can accept it, in his heart, it depends on what Wei Tou'er thinks.

Jin Yuan shook his head slightly, and sighed in his heart - some people not only forget the pain after the scar is healed, but also have insufficient hearts and want to swallow the elephant!

But he was not in a hurry, the more Murong Cheng said this, the easier it would be to realize the plan in his heart.

He didn't forget that in this action, the old emperor did not explicitly want to get rid of this group of people, the old emperor wanted profits, and wanted to grasp these people who brought him benefits, so as long as he completed both, he would also complete the task.

“…… No way! I don't promise. It was still Zhu Boss who spoke first, and then he looked at Wei Tou'er, where the real person is in charge, he also has to rely on Wei Tou'er.

"Wei Tou'er, if you say something, you won't leave us alive anyway, as long as you say a word, it's a big deal!"

The grumpy boss who had been grumpy before also stood up and shouted: "What does it matter what kind of court he has, our emperor is far away, what can the old emperor do?" ”

After saying that, he glared at Murong Cheng sideways, and said fiercely: "If it's urgent, it's a big deal, it's a human life, and my Wang Chong doesn't care!" ”

Murong Cheng's eyes widened in shock at his words, he didn't expect that these people didn't take the court seriously at all, and now they even openly threatened to kill him!

The crown prince of the East Palace, although he has not been favored by the old emperor, is also the prince of a country, and the whole world is not the king's land, but this group of people stood on his king's land and shouted for his life.

Murong Cheng was shocked and frightened, he was so surprised that this group of people was so bold, what he was afraid of was that he only followed a few guards and entourage on this trip, and the border guards were also in the border guard camp a few miles away, if these people really wanted to do it......

Even if you don't want to die, it's easy to just want to detain him.

Murong Cheng looked at Wei Tou'er fiercely, this person really made him jealous, Kung Fu was not under these entourage, once something happened......

The more Murong Cheng thought about it, the more frightened he became, he was distracted by Jin Yuan's proposal before, and almost forgot that he almost fell into Wei Tou'er's hands before, looking at Wei Tou'er's eyes at the moment, Murong Cheng always felt that it was full of naked killing intent!

Murong Cheng subconsciously shrank back into the back of the chair, he swallowed his saliva, and said forcefully: "We are the officials of the imperial court, and we have been ordered to investigate this matter, if we have any problems here, do you think the imperial court will let it go?!" ”

"Huh, so what?" Wang Chong snorted and said: "It was you who deceived people too much, saying that you were signing a contract, but in fact you wanted to take us down in a different way, and we discussed with you with sincerity, but you actually acted like this." ”

"You guys are like this, we all lose horizontally and vertically, why don't you just ......" Wang Chong didn't finish speaking, but everyone knew what his next words were.

Murong Cheng couldn't speak for a while.

Jin Yuan stared at the exquisite carved patterns on the wine glass, listening to a few people coming and going, grabbed this stall, put down the glass suddenly, and made a 'bang' sound.
