Of course, they have a reason to do this------ Maxim's Canning Factory fell into the hands of Tang Yan, which has greatly reduced the ability of Gem City to earn foreign exchange, and the most direct consequence is that it is unable to buy scarce grain in coastal areas, and in order to meet the daily needs of residents, it has to raise the standard of protection fees, and in this way increase taxes, sufficient Gem City's inventory, and buy Western Alliance grain products.

The people living in the city now, especially the people at the bottom who can barely gain a foothold, have a lot of opinions about him after learning about this.

There are also those workers at the Maxim's Canning Factory who got in touch earlier, because they have not received a response from him for more than a week, and they are also angry and untrustworthy when they say what he says.

Xia Xin asked him what he thought.

Tang Yan didn't say anything, just found an excuse to fool around.

Sending the two back to the office building, his face immediately pulled down.

The person in charge of the tax department of Gem City is Wang Ming, and that old thing has really made a lot of small moves recently.

He didn't have time to trouble Wang Ming about the telegram, but he didn't expect to encounter such a problem again.

Most of the residents of Gem City are uneducated and don't waste their brain cells thinking about the conflict of interest behind the tax hike.

It is an indisputable fact that Tang Yan took away the Maxim's Canning Factory, which Gem City used to earn foreign exchange, and this fact has had an obvious negative impact on them, which is a thing that is obvious to all.

Wang Ming's choice to use this matter to make a fuss and raise the standard of protection fees will definitely deal a big blow to his reputation.

If it was placed in the past, he would have wished that Wang Ming would do this, because there would be a large number of reward points coming in, but now more than eighty percent of the residents of Gem City have contributed reward points of dissatisfaction level, and what is needed now is gratitude and trust, Wang Ming's behavior can be said to be really hitting his seven inches.

He didn't believe that the old guy's decision to raise the standard of protection money was forced by the situation, and the negative impact on him was really accidental.

Wang Ming...... The guy with glasses, his gaze is really poisonous. ”

He provided the allies with 500 potions for free, and also promised a batch of canned sea fish.

He rescued many mainlanders in Toshima and asked them to tell the people around them about their good deeds.

He also has plans to supply canned sea fish at a reserve price------ this matter is only known to the core members of the Pandaren Legion, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be leaked out, after all, the mercenaries go to Gem City from time to time to have fun, and they may say anything if they drink too much.

Combined with these three things and the recent movements of the Pandaren Legion, Wang Ming must have seen that he was trying to improve his reputation and show his ambition to be a lord.

Maxim's Cannery is very close to Gem City.

The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, once he has strong economic strength and military strength, and establishes a good reputation, what will happen to the situation next, you can know it with your ass.

Gem City is the cash cow of Wang Ming, Hui Liancai and others, how can they sit back and watch it come to an end.

Whether militarily or economically, they have no way to deal with themselves for the time being, so they can only start by destroying his prestige and do their best to curb the development of the Maxim's Cannery.

"These old foxes don't have a fuel-efficient lamp."

When he said this, Zang Feng and Gao Kai walked in from outside, curious about what annoyed Deputy Head Tang, who had just married a new love.

It stands to reason that he should be immersed in the honey pot of love and be happy, instead of having a sad face like now.

Tang Yan didn't hide it and told them what happened in Gem City.

Zang Feng used half a cigarette to digest the relevant information, looked at Tang Yan and said, "What are you going to do?" I think it's a good choice to cut through the mess quickly. ”

Tang Yan saw Cai Wei on the other side of the suite, he showed a kind smile, got up and walked to the window facing the courtyard, and saw Comrade Jiao carrying two buckets of well water to the kitchen behind.

"Am I so fond of using violence? No, I'm not. I am a peace-loving person. ”

He didn't look back, he put one arm behind his back and looked straight ahead.

Is he a peace-loving man? Who gave him the courage to describe himself like that?

Lie! Lie! Lie!

Anyone who knows anything about him will not believe such nonsense.

Gao Kai glanced at the quiet Caiwei girl in the suite, and thought to himself that maybe only that young lady believed that Deputy Head Tang was a peace-loving person.

With the hunter's understanding of Boss Tang, when he spoke in this tone, Bacheng had already thought of something funny.

Well, it's fun for them.

For others, it's likely to be a sad thing.

………………

After dinner, the stars are in the sky and the moon is like water.

Tang Yan looked at Comrade Jiao with a sincere face: "I'm not joking, what I said is true." ”

"No, I can't do that, you've done so much for me, and I can't sit back and watch you do this to suit my ideals, it's not fair."

"There's nothing unfair about it." Tang Yan said: "Have you forgotten the meaning of the word 'comrade'? Since we are friends and comrades, your ideal is my ideal, and the realization of your ideal is the realization of mine, and what I have lost will be gained from you, which is very fair. ”

"But...... But...... But ......No matter how high Comrade Jiao's level of intelligence is, how can he compare to Deputy Commander Tang's sharp teeth, and he can't find the right words to reject his arrangement when he rummags through the thesaurus."

"Dedication, a lot of the time, means sacrifice." Tang Yan stroked its cold iron shell with his hand and said, "I once said that you have never been a robot in my eyes, but the successor of those sages who had the world in mind before the nuclear war, who entrusted you with the spirit of serving the people and the future of the wasteland, you are just like their children." It is an honor for me to sacrifice for such a friend. ”

Bang, click......

Droplets of water from Comrade Jiao's condenser fell to the ground, and wisps of smoke came out of the combat suppressor.

"Tang Yan, being able to meet you is the luckiest thing in the time since I woke up."

"Who taught you to say such a sensual thing?" Tang Yan patted Comrade Jiao's iron shell: "Then it's decided, I'll arrange to send someone to you later." ”

After saying this, he turned around and left the production workshop and walked towards the office building.

The head of the plane, which was overhauling the equipment under the conveyor belt, looked at the third prince for a while, his face very blank.

Comrade Jiao and Deputy Head Tang, which one is more numb?

"He's from the Black Saints, right?"

The head of the plane nodded.

"Do you believe what he says?"

"Uh......" The nose of the plane did not nod, but it did not shake its head either.

"Hopefully we won't become bald heads with scorpions tattooed on our faces in the future, that's stupid."

“……”

"Neither can pandas."

“……”

"Do you think he'll do the same to us one day?"

“……”

"Can you jump ship?"

The head of the plane thought for a moment and said, "No." ”

The third young master swore to heaven that he did not intend to eavesdrop on the conversation between Deputy Head Tang and Comrade Jiao.

………………

2KM east of Jewel City, in a courtyard main building surrounded by rejected horses, iron sheets, and steel wires.

The old man in black Pikan shoulders pushed the two bottles of short-mouthed Moutai on the table to a man in his thirties: "Please bring them back, they are my gift to Mr. Sha." ”

The man used his fingers to clasp off the mud on the corner of his jacket, and glanced at the two bottles of wine on the table: "Mr. Hui has a heart." ”

The old man put down the teacup, let the young maid standing next to him carry the teapot and fill it, and said "thank you" very politely.

If a resident of Gem City saw the scene in front of them, he would definitely cover his mouth and exclaim, it was difficult to understand.

The identity of the old man is very expensive.

Hui Liancai, who controls the Gem City drug market, is the umbrella of slave traders, and is the finando owner of the black hand mercenary group.

How could a powerful man like him be polite to a servant?

Outsiders may think that he is a person of good character because of such small details. If it is replaced by someone who understands him, it may be a different feeling, such as horror and fear.

The beautiful young girls in the area around Gem City don't know how many of them have been poisoned by him, and they have been played with as gifts to the big people in Jeseong in exchange for their support for him.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Sha will definitely support you." The young man stood up, took the felt hat held by the maid in both hands, and lifted the two bottles of wine on the table: "It's not too early, I should go back." ”

Hui Liancai straightened up with his arms on the armrests of the seat, and was about to send the young man away.

"Mr. Hui, please stay, I'll go alone."

"In that case." Hui Lian glanced at the two guards standing in front of him and waved his hand: "You give Mr. Zhao a ride on my behalf." ”

The guard nodded, walked over and pushed open the plain mahogany gate, and walked outside to wait for the man surnamed Zhao.

The guest took two steps forward, as if he suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Hui Liancai, took off the felt hat on his head and bowed: "I almost forgot, my father asked me to convey his gratitude to Mr. Hui, the batch of goods that I took over last time was of high quality and tasted very good." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Hui Liancai said with a smile: "Without Ling Zun's help, there would be no me Hui Liancai today. ”

The man surnamed Zhao nodded, put on his felt hat again, and walked out of the door unhurriedly.

The guards led the way in front, and when they walked out of a short distance, there was the sound of metal hitting the ground next to them, and there was an extra person next to the man surnamed Zhao.

No, that's not a person, it's strictly a machine.

She has a light body and slender limbs, and her appearance resembles that of a human woman.

Its face has a cross fissure, and in the center is a five-pointed star that glows red. Its left arm is a long-saw, and its right arm is a small three-barreled machine gun.

The Raider ------ a military robot manufactured by Huaxia Ordnance Industry Group.

It is said that the Raider robot is a new type of robot designed and developed by Huaxia North Industries Group to compete with the Iron Guard robot manufactured by Huaxia Nuclear Industry Group, and the design idea comes from the same series of products in the United States.

In those days, the Raider bots were hailed as a model of take-it-or-leave-it.

The courtyard gate opened and closed, and the figure of the man surnamed Zhao and the raider robot disappeared.

Hui Lian retracted his gaze from afar, and the expression on his face changed from mild to cold.

The man surnamed Zhao agreed very happily, but he knew very well that things would definitely not be smooth sailing.

………………

The light rain rustles, and the spring is cold.

Tang Yan didn't expect that Xia Xin and Cai Yuanhang would brave the rain to come to Maxim's Canning Factory.

He didn't talk to the two politely, let him go to a small meeting room in the office building, and said straight to the point: "How's the situation?" ”

Cai Yuanhang unzipped the briefcase, took out a document and handed it to Tang Yan.

He scans through the data recorded on it and places it on the table next to the couch.

"Let's be honest, what's wrong with Caiwei's body?"

In the case of Amy Er's entry into the palace, of course, it was impossible for him to understand the meaning of the various values on the document. But one thing that is certain is that there are many differences between a girl's body and an ordinary person's body.

Cai Yuanhang got up from the sofa and walked around for a moment in front of the filing cabinet.

"Let's put it this way, Miss Caiwei's body has undergone special modifications. The biggest difference from the human body is that it can breathe through the skin to supply the oxygen that the body needs to survive. To put it a little simpler, well, she's like a frog, which is why her lung function level is less than one-third of that of a normal human, but she is not dying. ”

Frog? Skin breathing? Pulmonary insufficiency?

Tang Yan finally figured out why he put the blanket on Cai Wei when he was on the salvage boat, her eyes were red and her face was hot, and she looked like she was about to suffocate.

It turned out that she was different from ordinary people and needed to use her skin to assist her breathing.

It's no wonder that her dress is more revealing than that of ordinary wasteland women, but it is different from the exposure of White Widow, Cai'er, Bao'er, Xiaohong and others.

Cai Yuanhang didn't give him more time to think, and continued: "The medical level of Gem City is limited, and the above conclusions can only be drawn from her blood and human tissue samples, if the conditions allow in the future, I suggest you give her a more comprehensive physical examination." ”

Tang Yan looked up into his eyes: "What do you mean?" ”

Cai Yuanhang said: "Although I don't have the experience and knowledge in this area, I have reason to suspect that there is more unusual thing about her. ”

Tang Yan looked down at the black leather shoes on his feet, and his face was very ugly.

If the middle-aged man who controlled the scorched beast was from the same organization as the "Liyiren Zhixin", thinking about the letter that drinking human blood was the same as drinking water, and then thinking about the half-human, half-machine Li, and the tall and mighty Zhi like a mutant, the uneasiness in his heart grew rapidly.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, judging from the analysis report of the blood sample, Miss Caiwei's physiological condition is very stable, and I suggest that you have the conditions to have a more comprehensive physical examination, but it is only for the sake of prevention."

Tang Yan nodded: "Thank you, Doctor Cai." ”

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure."

Cai Yuanhang and Xia Xin are good friends, so naturally they will not hide anything in this matter. Knowing that Cai Wei would be fine for a while, Tang Yanxin was a little calm.

After dealing with Cai Wei's matter, Tang Yan opened the cabinet in the corner of the room, took out a box and threw it to Xia Xin.

"Go according to plan."
