Chapter 68: Nine Peaks City Shocked
In the early morning of the next day, Mo Yu arrived in Jiufeng City again.
This time, when he entered the city, he did not see any soldiers defending the city making things difficult.
On the contrary, after passing through the city gate, I found many fully armed soldiers guarding the city gate, and many people with families and mouths were waiting in line to leave the city in front of the city gate.
Walking on the streets of Jiufeng City, Mo Yu looked at the closed shops on the side of the street, and remembered the scene of fleeing in front of the city gate, and the doubts in his heart became heavier and heavier.
After thinking about it, he finally didn't go to Qi Liancheng, but walked into a teahouse that opened normally.
Soon after sunrise, there were more and more customers in the teahouse, and the noisy chatter gradually sounded.
"The city lord is ruthless now, there are more than 300 people in the Zhu Mansion. Coupled with the various branches, it is estimated that nearly 2,000 people must have been killed, right? ”
"I don't know anything else, but the Zhu Mansion has been killed. Listening to my second uncle, the street where Zhu's mansion was located yesterday smelled of blood, and I wanted to vomit when I smelled it. ”
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. Anyway, it doesn't have any effect on us, drink tea, drink tea. ”
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Mo Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, and his brain spun rapidly.
When the sky was bright, he finally figured out the current situation in Jiufeng City.
Just yesterday morning, at the same time as the Battle of the Return to the Void Period, Qi Liancheng also made a move, but the target of his attack was not a certain person, but the Zhu family.
Moreover, the method used by Qi Liancheng was really the method he said when he was joking.
Just when everyone's attention was attracted by the terrifying aura coming from afar, Qi Liancheng himself directly took action to isolate the inside and outside of the Zhu Mansion.
Subsequently, the secret guards left by the old city lord and some soldiers loyal to Qilian City entered the Zhu Mansion together, and it took a morning to slaughter the Zhu Mansion cleanly.
Next is the Zhu family's henchmen, as well as hardcore allies.
Anyway, yesterday, there were people rolling in Jiufeng City, and blood was flowing like a river.
After purging the civil forces of the Zhu family, all the industries under his name were taken over by the Dragon Palace Chamber of Commerce, and the whole process was extremely smooth.
Most of the shops and restaurants that are still open in Jiufeng City are the original Zhu family, and the current Longgong Chamber of Commerce is the industry.
At the same time, because of the fall of the Zhu family, a major earthquake also occurred in the officialdom of Jiufeng City.
Nearly 20 percent of the officials were killed directly, and nearly 30 percent of the officials either voluntarily resigned to save their lives or were forcibly dismissed.
Now, the bureaucracy of the entire Nine Peaks City has almost been reset.
All officials who are still in office are either clean officials with clean identities and backgrounds; Either it is a good official with a stain but extremely capable.
But there are pros and cons.
Also because of Qi Liancheng's big move, people in the entire Jiufeng City are now panicking, and many wealthy families are trying to find a way to withdraw from Jiufeng City.
After all, in their opinion, Qi Liancheng dared to attack the Zhu family now, and he would definitely dare to attack them in the future.
And Qi Liancheng's attitude is also very clear.
Do you want to go?
OK! But there are taxes.
People who leave Jiufeng City have to pay poll tax, and items that leave Jiufeng City have to pay commodity tax.
Either hemorrhage and leave Jiufeng City, or stop staying in the city and choose for yourself.
Just tonight, several wealthy families gathered together and tried to make trouble, and they also followed in the footsteps of the Zhu family.
As the first Void Period City Lord in the history of Jiufeng City, Qi Liancheng obviously wanted to firmly control the entire Jiufeng City in his hands.
In this regard, even Mo Yu can't say whether his approach is "a strong man breaking his wrist" or "self-destructing his future".
However, from the perspective of ordinary people and low-level cultivators, their lives have not been greatly affected so far.
After sitting in the teahouse for a while, Mo Yu got up and paid for the tea, and after asking the guy about the location of the Dragon Palace Chamber of Commerce, he walked out of the teahouse with his feet.
After passing through the small half of Jiufeng City, Mo Yu spent half an hour to come to the location of the Dragon Palace Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as he stepped through the gate, he saw Cardinal Yu in a blue robe and a ledger in his hand.
Feeling Mo Yu's gaze, Cardinal Yu turned around, was slightly stunned, and then immediately walked over with a smile:
"Mo Daoyou!"
Hearing this title, Mo Yu waved his hand again and again:
"No, no, just call me by my name."
- Cardinal Yu is a primordial infant, how dare he call each other a friend.
Hearing this, Cardinal Yu laughed and continued:
"Then fold it, how about I call you Xiaoyou?"
"It's fine."
After some pleasantries, the conversation between the two finally got to the point.
"My young lady has already explained, Xiaoyou, you want to go to the Tianxuan Northern Region, right?"
"Exactly."
Seeing Mo Yu nodding, Cardinal Yu spoke with some hesitation:
"It will take forty days to go to the Tianxuan Northern Region, and we will basically not stay during this period, so you have to be prepared.
Also, we have a lot of cargo this time, so we may not be able to prepare an extra car. ”
Seeing the hesitant expression on Cardinal Yu's face, Mo Yu thought that there was some great difficulty, but the result was ......
That's it?
Waving his hand, Mo Yu replied seriously:
"I'm here to cause you trouble, so you don't have to worry too much about me.
If there's anything I need to do during this period, just ask. ”
Seeing this, Cardinal Yu nodded again and again:
"Then I have to ask Xiaoyou to be wronged.
The caravan will depart in two hours, and if you still need something, you can go out and buy it now.
If you don't have anything to buy, you can also go to the lounge on the second floor to rest for a while.
I still have to count the goods here, so I will be lost first. ”
After speaking, Cardinal Yu hugged his fists at Mo Yu, turned around and walked towards the depths of the Dragon Palace Chamber of Commerce.
On the other side, Mo Yu didn't have anything to buy, so he came to the second floor of the Dragon Palace Chamber of Commerce according to his words.
Leaning back on a chair in the lounge, he closed his eyes slightly and rested silently.
Two hours passed in a flash, and soon, there was a crisp knock on the door.
Opening the door, a guy in a light gray Dragon Palace Chamber of Commerce uniform stood outside the door.
"My lord, Steward Yu asked me to come up and tell you that the caravan is ready."
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded and followed the guy downstairs.
Walking out of the back door of the Dragon Palace Chamber of Commerce, Cardinal Yu's angry voice came:
"This is the last truckload, you go out of the city and wait."
"Yes!"
The answer fell, a slight vibration was heard, and a sturdy gray-yellow rhinoceros dragged the heavy cargo compartment out of the city under the guidance of four men.
When Mo Yu withdrew his gaze from the cargo compartment, he just saw Cardinal Yu walking towards him:
"Mo Yu Xiaoyou, how are you resting?"
"Thank you for your concern, I've rested."
"Then let's go?"
"Okay."
With that, Cardinal Yu walked side by side with Mo Yu towards the outside of the city.
