Chapter 363: The Meeting of the Seven Cities
Jiang Yu went to Xingyun Station alone, greeted the people of the post house, and walked in, and the guards of the post house, in a fog, let him in.
"Who was the one who went in just now" When Jiang Yu entered, one of the two guards asked his companion.
"He said he was the lord of the city. ”
"Lord of the City"
"Nonsense, if he is the lord of the city, why is he alone, don't put idle people and so on. ”
"Don't worry, I heard that our new city lord is a martial artist, and there are not so many rotten shelves, and I heard that he has only one servant. ”
"There's only one nonsense, we all have three in the family, what a big official he is. ”
The two of them were amazed at Jiang Yu's behavior.
And Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu walked into the post house, and under the leadership of the officials of the post house, he went to see the master of the courtyard sent by the Shenwu Sect. Because he is a person who comes from the altar, he has a noble status and lives in the largest courtyard in the post house. Jiang Yu came to the courtyard under the guidance of the officials of the post house, and before he could enter, he heard the sound of a woman laughing with a warbler and a swallow inside.
Jiang Yu listened to the voice, frowned, looked sideways at the post official and said, "What's the situation." ”
The post officer looked embarrassed and said, "It was brought by the city lord Ouyang, and I can't stop it." Moreover, several other city lords also came. ”
"Several other city lords" Jiang Yu looked stunned when he heard this. Ouyang Lin was with that courtyard master, Jiang Yu was not surprised at all, he had expected this. And several other city lords were actually there, which he didn't expect. And now that these people are together, what Jiang Yu has been unable to figure out has been figured out at once. Then why did Ouyang Lin come to him. If it was just him who came, Jiang Yu couldn't guess it, and brought the rest of the people over. Then it's easy to guess.
It has to do with the annual tribute
In order to make up the New Year's tribute, except for Muyun City, the other cities are almost scraped clean. However, in doing so, a large number of local wealthy families fled and fled to Muyun City, which did not raise taxes, but reduced taxes. Muyun City did this, which was obviously unsociable. Now these city lords have come here, probably for this matter, to ask the teacher for the guilt.
"Damn, I'm still afraid of you. Jiang Yu motioned to the post officer not to follow him, and he walked into the post house alone. I saw seven or eight people in the inn drinking and having fun with a group of women. And as soon as Jiang Yu entered, there were immediately guards who didn't know him to stop him, Jiang Yu didn't say a word, it was very simple, the one who dared to make a move, he greeted with his fists and feet, and soon, there were a large number of guards who fell to the ground behind him.
Jiang Yu's speed, as fast as the wind, knocked down many guards, but failed to attract the attention of those people. Jiang Yu simply stood in the courtyard and said in a deep voice: "I've seen all the city lords." Jiang Yu deliberately used aura, and his voice was high, but it was just going back and forth in this courtyard, and it didn't spread far. The sound was very loud, and the tiles on the sonic vibration of the house were flying wildly. It's like a hurricane.
Jiang Yu's voice roared, and it worked, and for a while, those who were drinking in the house stopped, and those women, all of whom were frightened, hid in the corner and left. Most of the people in the room were also stunned, looking at each other, not knowing what was going on. Among these people, only Ouyang Lin knew Jiang Yu, he smiled indifferently, stood up, stood by the window, smiled slightly, and said: "It turned out to be the Jiang City Lord, what's the matter, are you blaming me for drinking here, didn't you call the Jiang City Lord." He smiled slightly, and looked sideways at the people beside him: "Quick, make room for the Jiang City Lord." ”
"No need. Jiang Yu waved his hand and said, "If you have something to say, just say it here." ”
Hearing Jiang Yu say this, Ouyang Lin walked out of the room slowly, and several other people that Jiang Yu didn't know also walked out of the room.
"City Lord Jiang, it seems that you know what we are here for. Ouyang Lin said with a smile, and when he spoke, he looked sideways at a middle-aged man on the side, then looked back at Jiang Yu, and said to Jiang Yu: "I forgot to introduce, this is the master of the Xigui Courtyard from the altar."
"I've seen the Lord of the Creek Courtyard. Jiang Yu just arched his hand. The middle-aged man half closed his eyes and did not speak. Obviously dissatisfied with Jiang Yu's move to come here.
After saluting the lord of the Xigui Courtyard, Jiang Yu turned his eyes to Ouyang Lin and said, "I just came here according to the courtesy, as for why you came here, I don't know at all." ”
Seeing Jiang Yu pretending to be stupid, Ouyang Lin smiled indifferently and said, "Okay, then I'll make it clear to City Lord Jiang." The rules in the main city of Jiangcheng, should you change your current approach, it is to trap your colleagues to death. ”
"I still don't understand, what I have done, I will fall into your death," Jiang Yu sneered.
Hearing Jiang Yu say this, Han Wenchuang, the city lord of Yumen City beside the city lord of Ouyang, scolded angrily: "The surname Jiang, don't pretend to be garlic, you have lowered the tax rate, and the merchants of the six cities have all run to your side, let's"
"Who gave you the guts to dare to talk to me like this" Before the man finished speaking, Jiang Yu's face changed, and he grabbed a crumbling tile that fell down, and threw it directly.
A very ordinary tile
Such a tile was thrown over, although the speed was extremely fast, but these city lords didn't take it seriously, after all, those who could be city lords were all cultivated, and such an attack was useless. The city lord who had just cursed was unsheathed with the sword in his hand, and swept away with a sword, trying to directly shatter the tile. But things were unexpected, the sword struck against the tile, and I heard a metal crisp sound, and the sword broke in two, and the tile also changed its trajectory and went straight to the sky.
For a moment, the six city lords and one courtyard lord were all stunned
There were several things that surprised them, the first of which was how the tiles interrupted the magic weapon that cut the gold and jade. It's incredible. What's even more incredible is that the tile didn't hurt Han Wenchuang, and it didn't even make him retreat at all. According to common sense, if the thrown tiles can interrupt the opponent's weapon, then Han Wenchuang should have been sent flying a hundred feet away at this time. But no, everyone can see that it is not Han Wen's cultivation that is profound, but purely Jiang Yu's skills. This kind of miraculous skill is definitely not a coincidence, but it must be a person with extremely high cultivation who can have the courage to use such a move.
Jiang Yu's move made many people who wanted to rely on the crowd and vent like Han Wenchuang have a sense of jealousy, because they could all see that if Jiang Yu flew just now had no mercy on his subordinates, he could directly cut off Han Wenchuang's head after breaking the sword.
Jiang Yu said coldly: "If you want to play hard, Lao Tzu can also accompany you." If you want to discuss things with me, send an official document tomorrow and go through the procedure to see me. Lao Tzu has no time to spend with you. After Jiang Yu said this, he turned around and was about to leave, Ouyang Lin dodged, immediately stopped in front of Jiang Yu, and said with a smile on his face: "City Lord Jiang, there is something to say, there is something to say." Dissipate the anger, everyone is a member of the Shenwu Sect, and harmony is precious. ”
Looking at Ouyang Lin who was smiling, Jiang Yu knew that this guy didn't have any good intentions, but he said that. Jiang Yu didn't want to lose his temper anymore, and Jiang Yu didn't want to offend them too deeply, because Jiang Yu also wanted to live in Muyun City.
With Ouyang Lin's face full of smiles, there were several other city lords who entered the house with Jiang Yu to talk, and they had just entered the house, when they heard a loud bang outside, the tile that had just flown into the sky fell, fell into powder, and smashed the ground into a big hole, and many city lords, looking back, were all shocked. And when the owner of the stream saw it, his brows furrowed. Jiang Yu's hand just now, to be honest, had already scared him. Because the owner of Xigui Courtyard can see that Jiang Yu's methods are too powerful, and Fang Cai's hand, let him come, he will never be able to do it. And Han Wenchuang, who was scolding just now, also felt that his neck was cold, his sword was broken just now, and he was a little confused, but now that he thinks about it, it was Jiang Yu's subordinates who showed mercy and didn't want his life.
Jiang Yu entered the house and was so frightened that the group of women hid to the side. Jiang Yu's appearance is not comparable to those little white faces. But because the foundation is not bad, and because of the cultivation of the bipolar sword heart, between the eyebrows, there is an awe-inspiring sword intent, which can be said to be very heroic and martial, and the actions and sitting and lying down all give people a feeling of awe-inspiring style, which is the standard martial artist style. This kind of description is actually very pleasing to women, but Jiang Yu's series of actions just now scared them. They only dared to peek from afar, but they did not dare to get the slightest closer.
After sitting down, Ouyang Lin and several other city lords talked to Jiang Yuming about their "hardships" and the difficulty of the annual tribute.
In the end, I heard Ouyang Lin say: "Brother Jiang, you just raise your noble hand and let us go, everyone is the city lord, and it is not easy for anyone." You can't really force us to die."
Hearing this, Jiang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Although my Muyun City looks glamorous on the surface and has a large population, there are also a large number of poor people, and if the tax system is implemented like yours, many people will starve to death. ”
Hearing Jiang Yu speak, Ouyang Lin glanced at the owner of Xigui Courtyard, patted Jiang Yu's shoulder, and whispered: "Brother, why don't you open up, they are a fart, they are dead, they are dead, they are dead this year, and there will be new ones next year." I know that you must be worried about the matter of Nian Gong, and finding a way to save our lives first is the main topic. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yu pushed Ouyang Lin's hand away and said, "At most, I will change the tax back, and to be honest, I don't agree with your move to raise taxes." After saying this, Jiang Yu continued: "You raise taxes just to collect more money, but if the taxes are increased too much, the rich families will move away, even if they don't come to my Muyun City, they can go to other places, do you think it will be difficult for them to move to other continents or other islands, and they are not poor people who will run out of food if they walk a hundred miles." ”
Jiang Yu's words, many city lords, looked at each other, but no one spoke.
A courtyard master that Jiang Yu didn't know said: "If you don't raise taxes, there is really no way, Brother Jiang, you are lucky, you have found a spirit stone mine, which can give you some annual tribute reduction, we don't have that luck, it is also 10 million a month, to put it mildly, we are eager to slaughter and rob all the rich people in the city, and then pay the annual tribute." ”
"There's no way, with a big stroke of the pen above, the people below us are almost going to break their legs. ”
These city lords are also open and honest, complaining. And the brook returned to the owner, but he remained silent. Jiang Yu observed him carefully, and said in his heart that this person seemed to be friends with Ouyang Lin, and looking at the eyes, movements, and other information of the other city lords when they spoke, Ouyang Lin seemed to be the "alliance leader" and think tank among them.
Seeing such a situation, Jiang Yu also pretended to sigh lightly: "There are many difficulties on my side, and the holes are also very big. ”
Many city lords, after some complaints, Ouyang Lin suddenly said: "Actually, I have a good way, and it is also one of the reasons why I summoned everyone here today." ”
