Chapter 539: Kept in the Dark
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Mo did not go out for a walk, but found a place to sit down in the hall of the inn, slowly drinking low-quality turbid wine, while secretly monitoring the shopkeeper. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, half a day passed, and the shopkeeper of the inn had been sitting behind the counter groggy, because the inn's business was not good, so he basically spent it in a coma.
It was nearly noon when a group of people walked in.
Syllable!
The counter was slapped hard with a screeching sound.
"That little cub is well fed!" said the shopkeeper, who suddenly woke up from his sleep.
"Yo, you're pretty good-tempered. The man who slapped the counter did not speak, but a person behind him said in a long voice. "Looks like this month's tax is ready, right?"
"It turned out that the master was here. The shopkeeper immediately wilted when he heard this voice, and immediately walked out from behind the counter, nodded and said. "If you have a little more time, the inn really has no business lately. ”
"You don't have a business, and it has nothing to do with me. The voice did not change in the slightest mood because of the shopkeeper's words. "But if I can't collect this tax, I won't be able to pay it, and then it will be troublesome. ”
Zhang Mo's attention has always been on the person who spoke behind, but he didn't dare to use his divine sense to probe the other party, because this would startle the snake, if he did it now, he was not very sure, Zhang Mo could conclude that it was a co-plan, but he didn't know that this co-plan had been hiding behind the guards and not coming out.
As soon as the words fell, a guard stepped forward to surround the shopkeeper.
"Poof!"
The shopkeeper's knees were soft and knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "The small one really can't hand over so many divine crystals, and please ask the master to give another three days for the sake of the small ones who are usually filial, and the small ones will definitely get together the divine crystals." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you for three more days. The co-organizers were a little disgusted. "If you don't have a divine crystal to turn in after three days, be careful of your little life!"
"Thank you, Master!" the shopkeeper's kowtow was like pounding garlic, but the co-organizer left without paying any attention.
The reason why the Gong clan has such a strong strength, in addition to the Gonggong Emperor, the tax in this White Emperor City is also a major reason, and the rich taxes ensure that the Gong clan can continue to dominate the White Emperor City.
The merchants in the city need to pay a high commercial tax, and the joint financing also adds a tax to the original commercial tax, which makes the merchants in the city dare not speak out.
Zhang Mo frowned slightly, he didn't mean to stand up for the shopkeeper, after all, this situation is a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer, and every mature city will have taxes, which is a normal thing.
It wasn't until after the co-planning had gone far away that the innkeeper got up from the ground with a sigh of relief.
"Dad, why are you so quiet, it's a big deal that we won't do this business!" said a young man dressed in a little second costume walked up to the innkeeper and said angrily. "He raised taxes privately, and if it was known, it would be enough for him to drink a pot, and it would be a big deal for us to fight with him. ”
"Nonsense!" the innkeeper got up and scolded, "You said so loudly, why didn't you come out of it just now?"
"I ...... They are outnumbered. The young man in Xiao Er's costume said with a red face.
"So you're not stupid. The innkeeper sneered: "This total will bring five guards, all of whom are dead, not only do they have the strength of high-level gods, but they are also not afraid of death. ”
"But ....... The young man in Xiao Er's costume still wanted to speak, but the innkeeper interrupted: "But what, do you think that if we don't do this deal, we can escape the palm of the co-organizer? ”
"Okay, you watch in the store first, and I'll go out for a walk. The innkeeper sighed lightly. "It looks like I'm going to have to go and borrow some with a shy face. ”
"Okay. The young man in the clothes of Xiao Er was unwilling to respond, but he was helpless.
The innkeeper shook his head and went out to borrow the Divine Crystal, while the young man in Xiao Er's costume sat behind the counter with a hint of hatred in his eyes.
Zhang Mo, who had been watching the play in the corner as a bystander, suddenly felt that he had a better assassination plan, but he needed someone to cooperate.
"Do you want to stop being bullied by co-funding?" Zhang Mo said as he walked up to the young man in Xiao Er's costume.
"Yes. The young man in Xiao Er's costume looked at Zhang Mo and immediately shook his head and said. "You don't have the strength to help me, what's the point of saying this?"
"If I can prove my strength, can you consider joining me in a vote?" said Zhang Mo, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. "Kill the co-fund!"
"No, I'm not interested. "Although the young man wearing Xiao Er's costume is impulsive, he is not a fool, assassinating the children of the Gongshi clan in the White Emperor City, even if he escapes the pursuit, he can only become a wandering god in the end, a god like him who has lived in the city for a long time has long been unaccustomed to the dangers of the outside world, so naturally he will not take a big risk to assassinate the Gongcai.
"Then you can take a step back and do me a favor. Zhang Mo was not disappointed, but continued to persuade. "Create an opportunity for me to assassinate you, and no one will suspect you afterwards. ”
"Tell me what the plan is like first. The young man in Xiao Er's costume weighed the pros and cons for a while and agreed.
Just when Zhang Mo and the young man in Xiao Er's clothes were plotting how to assassinate Gongcai, Gongcai, who had already left the inn, was sitting in a restaurant not too far from the inn.
Five guards surrounded him, and it was difficult to see his true face.
"Hey, I'm really in a hurry to send you to death, and I dare to go back to White Emperor City, this time I will capture you two male and female killers alive. The voice of co-sponsorship came from behind the guards. "Cut your heart and dig out your belly, and your soul will be burned by the flames forever!"
He actually knew that Zhang Mo had infiltrated the White Emperor City, and he also found the inn where Zhang Mo was hiding, and recognized Zhang Mo.
It's just that Zhang Mo didn't know all this, he thought that Gongcai was just a more careful side branch of the Gong's family, of course, this was also because of Zhang Mo's self-confidence in his disguise technique, you must know that this was the disguise technique taught by Jiang Zhi.
On the other side, after the innkeeper left the inn, he came to a pawnshop with ease.
"Yo, are you here?" said the pawnshop guy with a smile as soon as he saw the innkeeper.
"Take me to your shopkeeper. The innkeeper stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and at the same time cautiously looked back, and found no one following under the divine sense, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good Lat, you come with me. The man led the innkeeper and went inside.
