The south of the city is bounded by the official road, which is in the shape of four corners, occupying a radius of 50 kilometers, which sounds very large, but in fact it is only a few cups of tea for people who practice martial arts.

There are more than 50 large and small gangs here, and since their strength is about the same, they are all wandering around in the ninth order of refining the body, which has caused so many years that there has not been a unified rule of the rivers and lakes.

The manpower of the three major families can only wander outside, and they can't plug in, and Piaoxianglou basically controls all the territory in the south of the city.

The city lord's mansion has the right to collect taxes, but it has no right to manage things, even if it is managed, it is also on the surface, and secretly it is still Piaoxianglou who has the final say, even if something happens when the heavenly knife is in the past, most of them are just a-stirring stick, and they just want to settle things.

But Piaoxianglou itself does not value the territory, this attitude is equivalent to two lions in the wild encounter, must be desperate to fight each other, but the ants passing by at the feet are not a glance.

The three major families are the lion, and the ants are naturally the gang, so after so many years, those people who are not good at mixing have come to the south of the city to fight around, fight out a piece of land, and retire here.

To put it mildly, the south of the city is a bunch of waste.

But there are two places in the south of the city that can't be moved, Shunruo and Shunsheng, Shun Ruo is the Xiao family, Shunsheng is the Luo family, one is close to the west of the city, the other is close to the east of the city, the Yang family is the worst, they can't do it close to the south of the city.

Fa Jue said carefully, nodding his head in surprise, these things were all figured out by Fa Jue in the few days he was in the Wind Blood Hall.

For example, Shunruo and Shunsheng in the south of the city are the face that Piaoxianglou gave to Xiao and Luo.

Fa Jue was talking when a gang walked in outside the door, and when he came in, he first arched his hand at the people in the hall, and then said in surprise: "My lord, someone from the city lord's mansion has come, saying that he wants to collect this month's taxes." ”

frowned: "City Lord's Mansion?"

Fa Jue said on the side: "My lord, the City Lord's Mansion has to collect 20% of the transaction tax from all shops every month, and the regular money collected by the gangs is 40% of the money, the brothel is 40%, and the gambling house is 40%. ”

"He's looking for death? Forty percent! The Heavenly Sword is gone, and the City Lord's Mansion dares to accept it like this?"

I am shocked that I understand the feelings of those shopkeepers in Shunxinfang now, this is simply a blood draw!

"If he dares to say anything, he will cut off his head and throw it to the City Lord's Mansion! I want to see what Luo Xia can do with me!"

In the eyes of Jing, Chen Goudan didn't have the courage to go against him, but he just felt that he was forced by Luo Xia and had to do it as a last resort.

The man clenched his fists, turned to leave, and returned a moment later with a note in his hand.

"Why are you back again?"

He asked with a frown.

The helper handed the note with both hands, and said in his mouth: "This is the tax slip given by the city lord's mansion, let the lord take a look at the specific amount, and say that if you don't pay it, you won't pay it, but this tax slip is still for the lord to keep it." ”

Surprised a little incomprehensible, but the monk was thinking about it on the side, and he knew everything he was doing, and he said at this moment.

"My lord, it stands to reason that Luoxia is not a fool, since she already knows that the adult is from the Xiao family, there is no reason to go against the adult, and she will not offend the people of the Xiao family because of a few taxes, which will only increase your troubles, you say...... Will it be ......"

Turning his head to look at Fa Jue, his brows furrowed: "You mean, the case of Xiaoyucun was known to Chen Goudan? This is the person he sent?"

Fa Jue nodded cautiously: "Very likely." ”

"I'm going to slaughter that Chen dog!"

Bi Lingyang was already shouting, Fajue brought him a strong sense of crisis, and he felt that his position was not guaranteed.

Saying that, Bi Lingyang pretended to go out.

"Come back!"

The startled voice came from behind, Bi Lingyang was full of righteous indignation, he couldn't make suggestions, so he could only show his loyalty appropriately.

Fa Jue smiled secretly in his heart, taking in everything, he naturally understood what was going on.

"Chen Goudan can't move, there is Luo Xia standing behind him, killing Chen Goudan is tantamount to offending Luo Xia, I am not qualified to compete with Luo Xia, I don't know my importance in Xiao Qingcang's heart, maybe it can't compare to Luo Xia, a Luo family grandmother, a poor boy, which is important, I can still tell the difference, and even if I want to move, it is not a good opportunity now. ”

Fa Jue thought for a while and said, "If it's really Chen Goudan who wants to go against you, adult, in fact, we don't need to pay attention to it at all, because he has no ability to cause substantial harm to us, which is nothing more than disgusting us in the matter of taxes." ”

His face was gloomy, he didn't expect that in just a few days, Chen Goudan would be transformed into a piece of cowhide plaster.

"Chen Goudan was born in the market, not to mention well-informed, the city government is deep, and there are still small calculations, if he really knows that the people in Xiaoyu Village are all killed by me, then he shouldn't do this kind of action to startle the snake, if I am Chen Goudan, I will definitely press the enemy to death at one time!"

The monk took out a string of Buddhist beads from his waist, played with it in his hand, and said slowly: "The only thing that Chen Goudan can confront with an adult is Luo Xia, so he will definitely make up his mind on Luo Xia, let Luo Xia deal with the adult, live in seclusion behind the stage, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, in this way, not only revenge, but also ensure his own safety, but also show his loyalty to Luo Xia, it is a plan to kill three birds with one stone!"

Shocked on the side, he continued: "So if you move Chen Goudan now, you are directly on the opposite side with Luo Xia, but it will make Chen Goudan's treacherous plan succeed, but if he doesn't move, he will go further, he just expected that we can't kill him, so he dares to do this, the tax is just a precursor, he must ......"

Surprised and the monk glanced at each other, and said in unison: "There is still a back hand!"

Where is the back hand? Looking at the tax slip in his hand in shock, he suddenly realized.

"It's still a question of taxes. ”

The monk said quietly on the side: "The Luo family is the second thousand-year-old in Xiao City, Luo Xia is very dissatisfied, if she wants to surpass the Xiao family, every resource is extremely precious, and now Luo Xia is standing behind Chen Goudan, the city lord, because the city lord's mansion can bring her benefits." ”

"But I have Xiao Qingcang's support behind me, doesn't Chen Goudan know? He still thinks I'm just an ordinary spy of the Xiao family?"

"Luo Xia has no reason not to tell Chen Goudan such an important thing. ”

"Maybe I forgot?"

The two thought hard, Bi Lingyang listened to the general situation on the side, and asked cautiously: "Then how did Chen Goudan find out? I personally started that night, and it was very clean, just rely on those soldiers?"

Raised his head suddenly, but the monk said: "Luo Xia is a person who cultivates immortals, and the immortal family method is endlessly mysterious. ”

Squinted his eyes in shock, and said: "According to what you said, then Luo Xia should tell Chen Goudan my identity, and Chen Goudan should understand that a tax cannot make Luo Xia do anything to me." ”

The two fell into a dead circle again, frowning and puzzled, Bi Lingyang looked at it and wondered, "Aren't we discussing how to fight Chengnan? ”

looked up at Bi Lingyang in surprise, and smiled dumbly: "That's right, it's our worries, come on, come on." ”

While he was talking, another person ran in in a hurry outside the door.

"My lord, go to Shunxinfang and have a look!

Xiyue also walked in quickly, followed by a person behind her, holding a large pile of ledgers.

Yu Yu first looked at the people in the hall, and then said: "My lord, the amount of money we collected this month does not match the amount on the account, and it is at least half less!"

stood up in shock, and then glanced at the monk again, and already had a bad premonition in his heart.

The monk's eyes rolled, "My lord, go to Shunxinfang first!"

Nodding in surprise, he strode out, and a group of people hurriedly followed.

Yongle Street, today's Yongle Street looks as ordinary as it used to be.

His face turned pale, "Who did this!"

I saw the old bustard in Yichun Yuan lying on the bed in disheveled clothes, black blood overflowing from his mouth, his face was pale, and he had swallowed his breath.

A Chipeng Gang member trembled and said: "If you go back to your lordship, your subordinates, I don't know, when I see it, I will already be dead." ”

"Isn't there any clue?!"

shouted in shock, and the subordinate was silent.

Bi Lingyang walked in quickly, his voice was heavy, and he clenched his fists and said: "My lord, more than 200 shopkeepers died in one night last night, and when I asked his buddies, I don't know who did it, and they all committed suicide by taking poison at home." ”

Xiyue also walked over quickly and said, "My lord, I asked the shopkeeper of Tongle Street next door, and they said that the gang's regular money was divided into the gang according to one percent after the original city lord's mansion had drawn the transaction tax, that is to say, we took the dry shares after the city lord's mansion took it." ”

He took a deep breath, covered his forehead, only felt his brain buzzing, closed his eyes and asked, "How much?"

"Only the living shopkeeper has paid the money, and those who are dead have not been taken care of, if on average, each family can make a net profit of 100,000 per month, and the city lord's mansion will draw 20% first, that is, 80,000, and then we will take 10%, then we can only take 8,000 per family, even if those dead shopkeepers hand it over, it is only more than 2 million. ”

The air quieted down, and everyone was shocked in their hearts, two million?

A gang member of the Zhantang will have a reward of 10,000 yuan a month, which is not counting food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then think of the number of people, this month, just the gang of brothers who raise Chipeng may not be able to support it.

"Hehehe......"

The laughter was unbearable, his fists were secretly clenched, and his eyes showed a terrifying coldness.

"Chen Goudan, it's really good and calculating!"
