The shopkeeper Wu heard that the shopkeeper of the Yuan family wanted to see him, and suddenly became irritable, isn't this just to pry himself for resisting taxes and not paying, just wanted to say the word "can't see", but after thinking about it, he felt that it was necessary to see, so he said: "I know, take him to the living room first, I'll be there later." ”

The maid outside the door answered yes and hurried away again.

After a while, Shopkeeper Wu walked into the living room and saw a middle-aged man with a lofty instrument taking a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yuan, I don't know what to learn?" ”

Shopkeeper Yuan snorted and said, "Your shopkeeper Wu won't beat around the bush, if I hide it again, I will definitely let you underestimate it." He put down the teacup and continued: "I won't tell you anything, there is news from my Yuan family, and it is clear that I will not be allowed to pay taxes anymore." I don't know if there is any news from the head of the Wu shopkeeper's house? ”

Shopkeeper Wu sighed and said: "This is natural, the head of the family said clearly, the face of the city lord's mansion is big, so I can't lose a big one because of a small one." ”

Shopkeeper Yuan was surprised: "Ah! Could it be that the head of your family can watch Turtle Island become someone else's old hen? This is an old hen that lays golden eggs. ”

Shopkeeper Wu said: "What if you don't want to? Yuanlong Island is the city lord's mansion, and it is not my Wu family's. ”

Yuan shopkeeper temple said: "What if it returns to the city lord's mansion again?" ”

Shopkeeper Wu looked unmoved, and said, "Unless the Qingwei faction is dead." ”

Shopkeeper Yuan said: "Didn't the Qingwei faction just kill a dozen minions on Soul Island two days ago, do you think Soul Island can bear it?" ”

Shopkeeper Wu also has a bunch of opinions on Soul Island, although the Wu family spit out the Turtle Island, but it has always been regarded as his own forbidden body, why should he rob the Soul Island? But there was no expression on his face, and he said, "Zhang Bike? He's a fox-like figure, do you think he'll scatter the eagle in advance? ”

The shopkeeper Yuan said: "He is in a hurry to seize the spirit stone mine, although he doesn't know his intentions, but I don't think he will just buy and sell it like this." ”

Shopkeeper Wu said: "Who knows." I am the business of the City Lord's Mansion, so naturally I will not lose the face of the City Lord's Mansion because of a few taxes. However, the shopkeeper Yuan might as well contact other families, I heard that the Chang family is very aggrieved. ”

Shopkeeper Yuan said: "Don't hide it from Shopkeeper Wu, I came from the Chang family." If you add the shopkeeper Wu, great things can be done. ”

Shopkeeper Wu pondered for a moment and said, "Since you have already agreed, I will naturally arrange it with you, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on to the end." ”

Shopkeeper Yuan said: "We all understand your hardships, don't worry, we won't let you get ahead." ”

Shopkeeper Wu arched his hand gratefully and said, "Then thank Shopkeeper Yuan first." ”

After the big thing was agreed, the two chatted for a while, and the shopkeeper Yuan said goodbye, his face instantly became a little hideous, and he said to himself: "Hmph! Old fox, if your Wu family doesn't rush ahead, whoever rushes ahead, and has occupied Yuanlong Island for so many years, it is time to make some contribution to it. ”

Turtle City, Acting Hospital.

In the past few days, there has been an endless flow of people in the Acting Academy, one reason is naturally to pay this year's taxes and fees, and the other reason is to inquire about the news.

Yuan Ding stood in the wide courtyard of the acting courtyard, looking up at the two straight and straight locust trees on the left and right of the split courtyard and was silent.

On the other hand, Xiao Yuanshan was listening to the recent situation reported by his disciples. The first is the tax on each store, which is now collected by a little more than a third. Now it has been confirmed that a group of shops led by the City Lord's Mansion, the Yuan Family, and the Chang Family will carry out the tax resistance to the end. The Lingshi Mine was also safe and sound, and after the people of Soul Island were killed, they didn't send elite soldiers and strong generals over, but let Yuan Ding stay in vain for a few days and nights.

The last news is that there have been a lot of spies on Yuantai Island recently, and there are forces from all sides, which has also led to a lot of security pressure on the island recently.

Yuan Ding means that those who come will not refuse, as long as they do not deliberately sabotage, they can investigate as much as they want.

Yuan Ding is now thinking about the problem of disciples, and now there are a total of fourteen people in the Qingwei faction, and this is still the number of people who add Yuan Ding himself, Chang Baicao, and Qian Yu to it.

Now the Qingwei faction urgently needs to recruit the next generation of disciples, but the personnel here on Yuanwei Island are complicated, and it is inevitable to recruit some unscrupulous people, so it is naturally difficult to guarantee that it will not cause disaster to the Qingwei faction.

Yuan Ding naturally wouldn't have thought at this moment that the person who caused a huge disaster to the Qingwei faction was precisely himself, but he also responded to Caiyun's comments to Yuan Ding at the Spring Poetry Invitation that day.

Yuan Ding didn't have a clue for the time being, so he shook his head in annoyance and went back to the house by himself.

After a while, Xiao Yuanshan came in and said, "Is it really okay to let the spies land on the island?" ”

Yuan Ding smiled bitterly: "Even if there is a problem, you and I can't do anything." ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "I'm afraid that these people will cause damage on the island and affect the prosperity of Yuanyu Island." ”

Yuan Ding said: "It's okay, it's just that you and I work harder, let's earn less spirit stones." ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "Why is the head of the family worried? ”

Yuan Ding told Xiao Yuanshan about recruiting disciples in detail, and Xiao Yuanshan also frowned and was speechless for a while.

When Yuan Ding saw Xiao Yuanshan like this, he felt that this matter was unsolvable in the near future, so he no longer continued to think about it, but remembered that Shen Mengyu had been staying in the Fire Spirit Bead for the past two days, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuanshan slapped his thigh and said, "I thought of it." ”

Yuan Ding looked at him in surprise, what did he think?

Xiao Yuanshan said: "Master, we can go to the ghost market." ”

Yuan Ding said: "Go to the ghost city? Do what? ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "There is a ghost market in the outer city of Ningyang City, which only opens in the middle of the night and closes on the fifth watch. We can pick some good slaves there to be disciples. ”

Yuan Ding said: "You mean that the ghost market can trade slaves? ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "As long as you have money, there is nothing that you can't buy in the ghost market." ”

Yuan Ding said a little darkly: "Can I also buy you and my good head?" ”

Xiao Yuanshan looked at Yuan Ding strangely and said, "This is naturally possible." ”

Yuan Ding said: "I probably understand, is your method feasible?" ”

Xiao Yuanshan said helplessly: "Dead horses should be live horse doctors." ”

Yuan Ding also smiled helplessly, and said, "It seems that you still have to have your own mountain gate." ”

Xiao Yuanshan nodded, and he was stunned for a while, probably remembering the mountain of the Qingwei faction.

The two were speechless for a while, and Yuan Ding was speechless and said: "After the deadline for tax payment has passed, the shops that have not paid the tax and the tax owed will be announced every ten days. ”

Xiao Yuanshan nodded yes and asked, "Do you really want to drive away the shops that don't pay taxes?" ”

Yuan Ding said: "Let's keep the disgust, we might as well let them disgust themselves." ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "In this way, there is no room for maneuver. ”

Yuan Ding nodded and said, "Yes, but what can be done?" It's that they don't want to wrestle with our Qingwei faction. ”

Xiao Yuanshan was silent, but why didn't he think so in his heart?

Since you don't want to whirlwind, then don't whirlwind, life in the world, when there is a trade-off, it is time to learn more about the arrogance of the sword fairy.
