Chapter Seventy-One: Ascending to the City Lord
In the center of the trading city, a high platform has been erected on the square, Zong Yunyanfei is sitting on the high platform, and the clansmen of the Zong Yun family are surrounding the high platform.
In the square, tens of thousands of people gathered, most of them merchants from all over the world.
Emperor Jitian was at the top of the tall building next to the square, looking at the noisy crowd in the square. If there are too many rioters, they will all be suppressed.
Zong Yunyanfei on the high platform was wearing a very formal dress, a gilded robe, gold-threaded boots, a slightly gray hair shawl, and her eyes swept over the crowd in the square.
"Everyone quietly, as the only family in the City of Trading, I, Zong Yunyanfei, am here to announce an extremely important matter to everyone."
Zong Yunyanfei's words spread, and the square fell silent, after all, in the city of trading, no one would be bored.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there were three major families in the Trading City in the past, but the other two families have left the Trading City, and my Zongyun family has also taken on the burden of defending the Trading City."
"With my Zongyun family here, any transaction you make in the trading city will be guaranteed by my Zongyun family."
"For this reason, I, Zong Yun Yanfei, announced that from today onwards, I, Zong Yun Yanfei, will be appointed as the city lord of the trading city."
In the past, the three major families shared the trading city, but now the Zong Yun family has become the city lord of the trading city, and it has not harmed the interests of the merchants, so they don't care about those idle things.
But Zong Yunyanfei's next words gave the riot a start.
"Everyone knows that the City of Trade gathers treasures from all directions, and some transactions are too cumbersome, so I, Zong Yun Yanfei, as the city lord, have already thought of a way for you."
"This method is that all your things will be purchased by my Zongyun family, and those who need things will be purchased from my Zongyun family, as the city lord, I will not charge any taxes."
Hearing this, Emperor Jitian smiled, worthy of being a profiteer, doing so is tantamount to monopolizing all the business in the city of trade, which is much more profitable than collecting taxes.
Buy it back at a low price and sell it at a high price, and at present, the Zong Yun family has controlled all the goods of Donglong and Mei Wu's family, which is really profitable.
At this time, the crowd in the square became noisy, and a middle-aged man with a goatee walked out of the crowd and said loudly: "Your Zongyun family wants to be the lord of this city, we have no opinion, but if you want to exploit our interests, you want to cover the sky with one hand, it is impossible, and you still want to buy the source of goods in our hands, dreaming, it's a big deal for me to leave this city of trading, and see how your Zongyun family survives here."
Then, a few more people walked out, accusing Zong Yun Yanfei dissatisfied, "Zong Yun family master, we all know that your Zong Yun family master is a saint-level summoner, we don't dare to target you, but in the business field, I hope you don't use your power to bully others, otherwise no one will want to do business with you." ”
Zong Yunyanfei smiled slightly, did not answer, and quietly waited for those dissatisfied people to come out one by one.
There are more and more dissatisfied people, and those who come out are all rich guys, those who don't speak, are all small businessmen, they don't have too many opinions on Zong Yunyanfei's statement, usually their goods are also bought by others, anyway, whoever buys them is the same.
Those who came out shouted, seeing that Zong Yunyanfei didn't speak, their arrogance was high, and some even said that Zong Yunyanfei was not allowed to be the city lord.
The square became more and more chaotic, and I don't know who shouted, "Zong Yunyanfei wants to monopolize power, the Donglong family and the Meiwu family have been destroyed by him, he Zong Yunyanfei was seriously injured when he fought with the two families, everyone don't have to be afraid of him, kill him." ”
Some hot-headed guys raised the weapons in their hands, and Zong Yunyanfei also stood up and shouted, "If you agree with what I Zong Yunyanfei said, please leave quickly."
Those who felt indifferent left one after another, and those who remained in the square also completely exploded, and their weapons were pointed at Zong Yunyan Fei.
Seeing that there were still thousands of people left, Zong Yunyanfei sighed in a low voice, "Young Master, are these businessmen really going to be killed?" I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this, kill them, and the city of trade will be greatly damaged! ”
Zong Yunyanfei didn't want to do that, but he still waved his hand, and the shadow killer in the chaotic crowd made a move.
The scimitar slit the throats of those people, and ghostly figures shuttled through the crowd. Everyone fell, and the bright red blood flowed like a stream.
Some of the merchants who had just left the square turned pale with fright and their legs trembled when they saw this.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, the blood, and the soul body that has not yet left the body, the emperor is so happy.
The bone wings unfurled, and the Emperor Killing Heaven turned into eight red shadows and flew towards the square.
Red shadows flew by, and the corpses and blood stains in the square miraculously disappeared.
"It's the young master, this method is really terrifying! If she can get the young master's affection, I will be at ease. ”
Zong Yunyanfei stood on the high platform, looking at the disappearing red shadow, Zong Yunyanfei asked the middle-aged man beside him.
"Roy, do you have a letter from your sister?"
The middle-aged man sighed and returned: "Father, my sister hasn't heard from me for a long time!"
Emperor Jitian hid in the mansion of Zong Yun's family, entered the blood prison, and went to see the corpse he had just collected.
The trading city has been shuffled, and in order to save some merchants, Zong Yunyanfei announced on the same day that the merchants who stayed behind would be favored by the Zong Yun family, and in order to ensure their interests, Zong Yunyanfei also promised that as long as those merchants sent the items to the Zong Yun family, the Zong Yun family would pay a higher price than usual to buy them.
In doing so, those merchants were so happy! At this time, for the Zong Yun family's complete control of the trading city, it would be beneficial to them, the low-level merchants.
That night, after discussing with his eldest son, Zong Yun Luoyi, Zong Yun Yanfei canceled the original shop, planned to renovate the building, and planned to build the largest auction hall.
In the future, the Zong Yun family plans to sell everything by means of auction.
Zong Yun Roy said to Zong Yunyan: "Father, the young master doesn't know where he went, we should discuss this matter with him, otherwise I am afraid that he will be unhappy."
Zong Yunyanfei put down the design of the auction hall in his hand, put his hands behind his back, looked at his son with a smile, and said: "Roy, the young master is actually a very good person, he just doesn't like to take care of too many things, otherwise he won't let us take care of the affairs of the trading city."
"Father, I heard that the Donglong family followed the young master before, but the young master still killed them, I'm afraid it will ......!"
"Roy, this is all caused by the Donglong family, the young master killed them, it was their own sin."
At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open, and a voice came in.
"Your father is right, they brought it on themselves."
