He squinted his eyes, looked at the few people lying on the ground, and said coldly: "I ask you a few questions, and if the answers are satisfactory to this king, I will bypass you."

A few thugs were originally frightened by Kazama Shuowang's martial arts, but now when they heard him call himself the king, their bodies shrank even more. However, the pain made them unable to answer properly, so they had to support each other and kneel: "King, prince, what advice do you have?" Sizzle......"

Seeing that the other party compromised, Kazama Shuowang gave Su Chun a look. Su Chun received the message and said in a solemn voice: "What has City Lord Wen Qinqian done recently?" But what have you done that makes you unhappy? ”

Several thugs glanced at each other, and finally the leader smiled bitterly: "The adults ask these questions, how can I and the other people know this!"

Kazama's eyes flashed slightly, could it be that his way of investigating was wrong?

Su Chun pondered for a while, and said, "Are there any rumors or interesting things in the city recently?"

"Interesting...... "The thug repeated in a low voice, as if remembering something, "By the way, there was a rumor in the city a few days ago that the War King is coming back!" ”

"......" Su Chun's forehead turned black, wasn't it standing in front of him?

Speechless for a moment, Su Chun asked in a deep voice, "What about the other things?"

The gangster pondered for a while, and under the reminder of the younger brother behind him, he remembered one thing: "I heard about the wedding of the king of war a few days ago, it seems that the city lord went out to congratulate him personally."

"Go on." Su Chun frowned, he had already set off, but he had been at the War King's Mansion for a long time, and he hadn't seen Wen Qinqian go! And, if he went, there was no reason to come back earlier than them, right?

"The lord of the city carried a large box, saying that he was going to give gifts. But when he finally came back, there was an extra woman by his side. "This matter was crazy in the border city at that time, Wen Qinqian was not very old, but there were also a few concubines in the city lord's mansion. But strangely, this woman seems to have a lot of background.

At that time, the city lord was very fond of the woman, and the woman said that she wanted to eat sugar gourds, and the city lord actually sent someone to buy the sugar gourds on the entire street! Later, on the second day of entering the palace, it was announced that the woman was the wife of the city lord. It's just that before the wedding could be held, I heard that the king of war had entered the city. ”

The bastard paused, as if suddenly realizing something, and secretly glanced at Kazama's face, and he blessed his heart: "You...... It can't be the king of war......"

Kazama has been in the frontier for ten years, but he rarely comes to the border city, and even if he comes, he stays in the city lord's mansion, so the people of the border city rarely see the true face of the war king.

Xiao Moshan looked down at her feet, and couldn't help but wander: The truth of the boy!

Kazama nodded, and the man's face turned pale in an instant. But as if he remembered something, his face became speechless and stopped.

Xiao Moshan's sharp eyes noticed it, and said softly, "Do you have anything you want to say to His Royal Highness the War King?"

The thug looked at her and nodded heavily.

"Please also ask His Royal Highness the War King to be the master of the people of the border city!" A few thugs suddenly kowtowed, and the sound of kowtowing made Kazama Sakuto's heart tremble. His face was grim, and he said coldly, "Speak."

The gangsters seemed to have gained courage, and their voices suddenly became louder, changing their previous shrinking appearance: "Xiaomin wishes Shengde." He was a jewelry dealer, but who knows......"

A year ago.

Zhu Shengde and his brothers partnered to open a jewelry store, specializing in jewelry and jade that women liked. Originally, the business was okay, but the city lord's mansion suddenly announced that it would raise taxes

。 This made Zhu Shengde a little embarrassed, the tax was not very heavy, only once a year, but because the border city was close to the frontier, it had to supply the military camp, so it became twice a year.

The business of several people has just started, and the jewelry buying and selling picture is a luxury. But in the frontier, how can there be so many rich people? It is already good for the net money to be able to share dividends with a few brothers to support their families, but the city lord suddenly increased his taxes and increased the number of taxes.

Twice a year became four a year.

After Zhu Shengde and the others paid the tax once, they had no money anymore, so they had no choice but to close the store. But after closing the shop, they couldn't escape the taxes, and several people went bankrupt and paid the taxes, and even lost the money for marrying their daughters-in-law.

In order to support their parents, several people had no choice but to get involved in gambling, and under the pressure of the city lord's mansion, they slowly began to rob some people who looked cowardly and timid and won money, which is why they met Kazama Shuowang and others today.

Kazama's eyes became colder and colder, and his face was very unpleasant: "Those jewels of yours ......" There are words in Zhu Shengde's words, the persecution of the City Lord's Mansion? Isn't it the people from the City Lord's Mansion who have done other things?

"Originally, the jewelry was sold, and the store was subleased to someone else. But suddenly one day the guests came to the door and said that the jewels had been snatched by the people of the city lord's mansion. He also claimed that our store was a black shop and that his property would be confiscated. Those guests have been chasing us for a long time, and if it weren't for the money we still owe, the brothers wouldn't have done anything to rob us! ”

When Zhu Shengde mentioned the people of the City Lord's Mansion, his tone was full of hatred, which showed that the people of the City Lord's Mansion were already unwilling to mention to them.

At this moment, even the gentle Xiao Moshan, who had been smiling, changed her complexion, and her voice was angry: "How can there be such a person in the world!"

Kazama raised his eyes and glanced at it, and said lightly: "The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds."

Xiao Moshan was surprised that he actually replied to her words, and her heart was happy and angry. The expression on his face was very rich for a while, but Kazama Shuowang no longer looked at him, and just asked Zhu Shengde: "You didn't report to the official?"

"Reporter? To whom?" Zhu Shengde smiled bitterly, in the entire Sacred Heart Dynasty, there is only the city lord to rely on in a city. Although the yamen has it, it is also the henchman of the city lord who is dealing with those cases. Let him report to the police? What's the difference between sending it to your door and looking for abuse?

After Kazama Shuowang finished asking, he realized that he had asked an idiotic question, and he was silent for a long time, and said, "As far as this king knows, the military camp is not far from the border city."

The barracks are full of generals, Kazama Shuowang has been the chief general for ten years, and his subordinates have also promoted many deputy generals and pioneers. No matter who stands up, they can redress Zhu Shengde's grievances.

Zhu Shengde's face was even more bitter, and his voice was full of mockery: "What the prince said I didn't expect, it's just ......" He hesitated for a moment, his heart was crossed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The prince doesn't know, the woman brought back by the city lord was rumored to be sent by a general in the military camp on the second day!"

"What general?" The adjutant general and the vanguard in the barracks can be called generals. Su Chun narrowed his eyes, and he already had the answer in his heart.

"This ...... The little ones don't know. I only vaguely heard that the surname is white. Zhu Shengde was a little uncertain on his face, and he didn't notice that Su Chun and Kazama Shuowang exchanged glances.

"Do you know when the white general you spoke of had a relationship with the city lord?" A trace of anger crossed Kazama's eyes, Bai Xin, Wen Qinzhen! Very good!

Do things under the eyes of this king, there are really you!

"This little people don't know." Zhu Shengde's face was bitter, he couldn't know everything...... he

If you have that ability, can you still be bullied like this by the city lord......

Su Chun asked a few more related questions, and when he saw that Zhu Shengde really couldn't answer, he gave up. told him a few words not to publicize the fact that he had seen the three people today, and a few gangsters naturally nodded yes.

Out of the alley, Su Chun looked at the pedestrians coming and going, and suddenly felt a little chill in his back. Under such oppression by the city lord, it is really not easy for these people to survive.

Huan Yu law, tax only once a year. But Wen Qinqian actually ...... Twice the tax that has been collected! Kazama's hand hanging down beside him clenched into a fist, or he was too useless! He always thought that nothing could be hidden from him about the barracks. Who would have thought that Wen Qinqian and Bai Xin would actually do these things right under his nose!

Presumably...... Bai Xin must have done a lot of cover for Wen Qinzhen!

However, the whereabouts of the money are a problem. As far as he knew, over the years, the supplies provided by the border towns to the barracks had indeed been given according to the annual tax share.

So, that money...... It's probably all in Bai Xin's pocket! Thinking that he had only been gone for a year, those soldiers rebelled and obeyed Bai Xin's words, Kazama had to guess that those people were driven by money!

Thinking that his ten years of hard work was used as a moth by Bai Xin, Kazama's face was not good-looking. Xiao Moshan and Su Chun, who were walking on the side, both felt the cold air pressure around Kazama, and couldn't help but shiver.

Xiao Moshan wanted to speak and stopped all the way, not knowing whether she should say it or not, Su Chun noticed it, so she took the initiative to ask: "What's wrong, do you have an idea?"

Xiao Moshan looked at Kazama Shuowang's back, bit her lip, and said, "I didn't expect this to be the case in your border city, although I have been staying in the Imperial Palace, I have never heard of such a thing. I...... Suddenly a little worried......"

"Are you afraid that your father and emperor also have such self-enriching officials?" Su Chun guessed.

Xiao Moshan shook her head, and her voice was a little low: "The official who fills his own pockets...... I believe in my father's wrist. I'm only worried about the people. ”

Su Chun pursed his lips, indeed, this kind of thing hurts the people the most.

It's just that there are so many Chinese military officials in the dynasty, and officials who can't go to court in the fiefdom, which emperor can supervise it from time to time?

Thinking of Wen Qinqian and Bai Xin's approach, Su Chun's chest was also full of anger. He walked a few steps quickly, and his tone was a little anxious: "General! Vice Admiral Bai and City Lord Wen do such things, don't you care? ”

Kazama glanced at him, and after walking for such a while, the anger in his heart had disappeared a lot due to the influence of the pedestrians coming and going around him. "It's up to you, it's just not the time."

Su Chun was puzzled: "Then when is the time?!"

Kazama sighed, Su Chun's temperament was still too simple. This matter, is it true that it is just to deal with Bai Xin and Wen Qinqian? There are a lot of twists and turns involved in this, but there are a lot of them!

As far as he knew, Bai Xin ...... But what about the Queen's cousin!

Bai Family...... Heh, I didn't want to touch them yet, I wanted to find something to do for the royal brother, but now I ...... Had to do it!

At this time, Keichen Kazama, who was far away in Kyoto, sneezed fiercely: "Ahh

ps: Today, "Beneficiary" came to the school to be screened, and Dapeng Liu Yan came, but unfortunately I couldn't watch it with my own eyes because of class, crying......
