Zhang Zheng's voice was not loud, neither angry nor indignant, and he was calm throughout, with a warm smile on his face, as if he was not arguing but chatting with an old friend. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Is it illegal to build a city?"

Nonsense, of course you don't break the law, as the city lord, expanding the city is your business, how can you break the law! No one answered his question, and Zhang Zheng didn't give others a chance to answer, so he continued to talk on his own.

"I think, as the lord of the city, it shouldn't be illegal to build a city, right? So, let me ask again, is it illegal for me to go to the main city to dig up residents?" After speaking, the smile on Zhang Zheng's face became even brighter, "The city lord is familiar with the laws of the empire, and in the three hundred codes, there is not a single sentence, even if it is mentioned that it is illegal to dig people in other main cities!"

Is it illegal?

The people present are all officials, and they are naturally no strangers to the imperial code, and if you think about it carefully, it is really the same as what Zhang Zheng said, the code does not have such provisions at all. At this time, Zhang Zheng spoke again.

"The inhabitants of the empire have their own rights to which main city they want to live in, and since the code does not prohibit it, we, as city lords, should respect the personal wishes of the residents, and everyone is right. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zheng suddenly looked at the group of city lords and sneered, "Then again, why don't you think about it, why do I just need to send a simple announcement to dig up the population in their main city? As a city lord, I can't even keep the people in my own city, and I still have a face to scream here." ”

"Why is there no face...... They...... They are all deceived by you!"

The group leader was choked by Zhang Zheng's face flushed, both ashamed and afraid, although there are no sensitive words in Zhang Zheng's words, but as long as there are people who are interested in studying deeply, it is going to be a big problem, when the city lord, in the area of his main city, that is the emperor of the soil, do whatever he wants, the emperor is far away, the power is still big, who has not done a few things that violate the law and discipline at hand, and some can even be said to have lost their conscience.

These things that are secretly hidden in the dirt must not be discussed in the sun, don't look at Zhang Zheng just asked a simple question, if this problem is caught by someone, it will kill people.

The same city lord, why do all your people have to run to other main cities, the most obvious answer is that Tianxin City is better than the main city under their jurisdiction, if it is not good, how can there be so many people rushing to relocate? People are not stupid!

"Bewitched by me?"

Facing the opponent's lethal rebuttal, Zhang Zheng smiled and nodded with a smile

"Okay, just be bewitched by me! But the code doesn't say it's a crime, so what about bewitchment, am I guilty?"

Zhang Zheng blinked, the two of them spread out, made an innocent expression and continued

"In fact, from the time I entered the door to the present, from the time you said that I was guilty of great crimes and asked Your Majesty to severely punish me, I was thinking about one thing, the guilt you said was not recorded in the Emperor's Code, that is to say, whether I built a new city or said that I bewitched people to leave the original city and join Tianxin City, it was okay, and the only statement that could be called guilty was to exploit and abuse them, but do you have any evidence to prove it?"

"You don't, at most you can prove that Tianxin City is being renovated, and I just robbed a lot of people under your command!"

After speaking, Zhang Zheng looked at several speechless city lords with a playful expression

"I didn't break the law, I just snatched some people from you with my ability, if you are not convinced, you can also bewitch them back like me... As long as you have that ability, I, Zhang Zheng, have no complaints...... But. Do you have what it takes?"

"Also, about the exploitation and abuse in your mouth, I want to clarify in front of Your Majesty!" Zhang Zheng looked at several city lords with an unpredictable smile on his face

"I want to ask a few city lords, how much can you ordinary residents in the city get for a day's work?"

After Zhang Zheng asked, several big city lords couldn't help but look at each other, a little confused about Zhang Zheng's intentions, the daily income of ordinary people, does this have anything to do with the current matter, besides, who knows how much income those untouchables can have in a day.

Several city lords glanced at each other a few times, and one of them was the first to answer, the worst people in my Flamingo City all earn between one and two gold coins, and after this person finished speaking, the second city lord followed closely

"Heavenly Desolate City!

"Hengshui City, two gold coins!"

“......”

The last one to reply was Xie Xian, who looked at Zhang Zheng and snorted coldly, "Black Rock City, three gold coins!"

When the city lords finished speaking, Zhang Zheng said

"It turns out that the city under the jurisdiction of the Lords is so rich that the income of ordinary people is simply so high that it is frightening to death. Zhang Zheng first praised it in a weird way, and then his voice changed

"Tsk, two gold coins, it's really amazing, it's almost half of my Tianxin City!"

Humiliate!

When I heard these words in the ears of other city lords, it was a naked humiliation, they were all city lords, and the income of the population under them was not even half of the people's income, wouldn't this show in disguise that he and others were inferior to him, especially in front of so many court ministers and His Majesty, not humiliation!

At that time, some people shouted unhappily

"Hmph, it's better to say than to sing, who wouldn't brag? You are a small Tianxin City, a place where birds don't, how can you let civilians have such a high income, are you a fool when you are present and everyone in the audience and Your Majesty?"

Zhang Zheng glanced at the city lord who spoke with pity, this person seemed to be the city lord of some Heavenly Desolate City, located in the northeast corner of the Flame Empire, in a bitter cold land, and the distance from Tianxin City was very far away.

Hehe, stupid, it's not good to stay in the poor countryside where the news is closed, and dare to run to do things without understanding what the situation is, there is a hole in the brain, this person finished speaking, and he was still a little complacent at first, thinking that he was quite witty and found a perfect excuse, which in this world, it is difficult to investigate the exact number of such things as per capita income.

Then, the man soon found that not only did no one approve of him, but everyone looked at him strangely, and the feeling was as if he were looking at a fool, and he was the fool.

He didn't know that in the past two years, Tianxin City has been well-known for its wealth, not only are there many rich people, but the income of ordinary residents is still very high, and they can earn more than five coins a day if they find a job, this number is beyond the reach of the prosperous imperial capital, so to speak, in the entire Brilliant Continent, there is no city whose financial system is as active as Tianxin City

This city can make people make money every day, and the cost is like flowing water, eating, drinking, playing, and all kinds of bizarre ways to make money are endless, and some people have joked that no matter how stingy people are, they can't take care of their wallets when they get to Tianxin City, and they don't blow it out.

Questioning the economic level of Tianxin City, that's a fool's job!

Before, they didn't understand why Zhang Zheng asked some questions that had nothing to do with this incident, but now they understand that Zhang Zheng is showing off, and at the same time, this also proves from the side that he Zhang Zheng is not a city lord who exploits and abuses residents, it depends on how well the people of a city are living, whether the city lord has the ability, only intuitively depends on whether the people of the city have a lot of money, whether people live and work in peace and contentment, a city full of beggars, you tell its city lord how to ox a fork, will I believe it?

From this point of view, Zhang Zheng, the city lord, is indeed impeccable, at least for the people living in Tianxin City, several city lords who have been trying to trip Zhang Zheng suddenly found that what they were going to do seemed to be impossible to succeed, and now they didn't dare to speak, they found that they couldn't find the words to accuse Zhang Zheng, before accusing a person, first of all, you have to be able to prove that you are doing better than him to stand still.

And at this moment, these city lords are embarrassed, also as a city lord, Zhang Zheng has already killed himself in all directions in seconds, and if he says anything more at this time, he will only make himself a laughing stock!

All the city lords bowed their heads and stopped talking, in this confrontation with Zhang Zheng, they lost a lot, they were unwilling and felt powerless at the same time, those impassioned words before have become a cloud of the past, and the specious crime is even more helpless to take Zhang Zheng, as far as what Zhang Zheng did, he can't say anything about it, is he reasonable?

No, everyone thinks that Zhang Zheng's way of doing things is inappropriate, yes, you are capable, your Tianxin City is very good, yes, you can let your people live a good life, but can you go to other people's cities to rob people because of this, you have pulled people away, do people still want to live?

If Zhang Zheng knew what these people thought, he would have scoffed, he had no ability, and he didn't allow others to have the ability, such people were rubbish, Zhang Zheng hadn't been to many other main cities, this can be seen from a Black Rock City, and the situation in other main cities was not much better, hehe, a city lord can be to the point where people talk about it, it has to be majestic!

Not to mention anything else, take the Xie family that Zhang Zheng knows, just because his father is the city lord, Xie Shilong dared to go to Tianxin City and openly rob the people's daughters, Zhang Zheng will always remember that day, that restaurant, and the restaurant owner who was scared by the Xie family's prestige, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to accept the food money in order to get rid of the relationship with himself and others, majestic!

Tianxin City and Black Rock City are more than a hundred miles apart, and they are not under the jurisdiction of Black Rock City, what is the influence of the Xie family in Black Rock City, how can you imagine, oh, by the way, I heard that his Xie family has a holy level, doesn't that mean that the Xie family is becoming more and more awesome?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zheng walked up to Xie Xian and smiled

"City Lord Xie, I just heard Lord Zhang say that your Xie family has produced a strong person in the Holy Dao, which is really gratifying! You see, everyone is colleagues, and our cities are so close to each other, we will have to move around more in the future, and support each other......

"Humph!"

Xie Xian's expression was completely different from Zhang Zheng's, only listening to him snort coldly, and then said with a smile

"Zhang Cheng Lord is young and promising, I think the support will be exempted! My little Black Rock City can't climb high!" Speaking of this, the expression on Xie Xian's face suddenly changed, and he whispered to Zhang Zheng with a sneer

"I don't have anything to say about Black Rock City and your Tianxin City, but my Xie family and you Zhang Zheng do have something to say well, hmph, my son Xie Shilong disappeared innocently two years ago, and he has not returned yet, I think about my son's whereabouts, Zhang City Lord You should be very clear, right?"

Xie Xian's voice is not loud, but it is not small, at the very least, everyone present can hear it clearly, it was only a dispute on official business, no one expected that these two people still have private grievances! Moreover, this grievance does not seem to be small, they haven't been home for two years, do you still need to guess what the result is?

Everyone paid attention to Zhang Zheng, everyone looked at him, wanting to hear what he had to say, few people thought that Zhang Zheng would tell the truth, if he told the truth, it would be a big trouble, but Zhang Zheng once again made a move that surprised everyone.

I saw that he first closed his eyes and thought about it, then grinned and admitted generously

"Oh, I remembered, Xie Shilong, this guy is amazing, he doesn't sleep at night, he actually ran from Black Rock City to Tianxin City to rob the people's daughter, and he robbed not ordinary people, but the eldest lady of the Dongfang family, as a man, how can I allow this kind of illegal and undisciplined thing to happen, of course, I stopped it as soon as possible, who knows, your son not only didn't listen to persuasion, but also asked someone to break my leg, which scared me so much that I was about to cry......" Speaking of this, Zhang Zheng put on a scared expression, and endured everyone's chuckles, and then Zhang Zheng clicked his lips and said with a look of envy and jealousy. Tsk, amazing, in fact, I admire him very much, he does bad things that have lost his conscience, as easy as drinking water, and I don't feel guilty at all, in addition, I envy him even more, I was not a city lord at that time, just a little-known little person, and our young master Xie Shilong Xie taught me a vivid lesson, that is, as long as there is a powerful father, that is the winner in life, do whatever you want, bully whoever you want, the Imperial Code, hehe, what is that thing? I have never heard of it......"

As soon as Zhang Zheng opened his mouth, it was a sarcasm without demonstration, and many officials understood what was going on after listening to it, and from Zhang Zheng's words, everyone heard something more important, which seemed to have done a lot of unseemly things on the three-third of the acre in Black Rock City, if what Zhang Zheng said was true, then the Xie family was in big trouble today, and if he connived at his son's lawlessness, where could he still be high.

The Flame Emperor sitting on the throne had a blue face, obviously in a state of rage, as the king of a country, what could be more atmospheric than hearing that someone was lawless and wantonly trampled on the law, the Flame Emperor was angry, completely angry, although he didn't have a good impression of Zhang Zheng, but he still knew a little bit about his personality.

The truth of Zhang Zheng's words is difficult to verify, but he is definitely a person who talks about it, and, it sounds, this matter also involves the Dongfang family, and Zhang Zheng can't talk nonsense!

The face of the Flame Emperor was seen by everyone, the Xie family was in trouble, many people thought so, Xie Xian also sensed the emperor's thoughts, but he was not very worried, there were saint-level powerhouses, he believed that His Majesty did not dare to take his Xie family, the current royal family is not as good as before, the master of the Holy Dao, the royal family is only one, the royal family does not dare to take risks!

Seeing this, Xie Xian was more sure of his guess, the Great Emperor was jealous, in fact, the Flame Emperor was indeed jealous, dealing with Xie Jia meant a war with the Holy Level, this level of battle, the Great Emperor did not dare to bet on winning or losing, the royal family won well, if it lost, the empire was afraid that it would be subverted.

The Flame Emperor, who couldn't hold his mind, couldn't help but glance at Zhang Zheng, and faintly looked forward to it in his heart, since this kid generously admitted, does it mean that he has absolute certainty?

At the same time, Xie Xian was also looking at him, his eyes were like cats looking at mice

"You have a holy level in Tianxin City, and my Xie family also has it, what's the use of saying so much?

"Hehe, yes, I'll wait!" In the face of Xie Xian's threat, Zhang Zheng was unmoved, still smiling without changing his face

"Okay, I'm not afraid to tell you, your son has done too many evils, I really can't stand it, so I have to kill him for Tianxingdao!" Zhang Zheng's voice was very loud, and Xie Xian could hear it clearly without falling a word, but he didn't dare to make any sound, because Zhang Zheng had something to say next

"I killed the person, I told you clearly! What can you do to me!"

When the words fell, the momentum of the Holy Dao enveloped the audience
