Four thousand two hundred and thirty chapters: Seek
I glanced at Aragaki Ying, but she sneered, then took out a piece of paper filled with data, showed it in front of us, and said: "Paper cannot contain fire, you think you can make us believe it just by talking about it"
Is that so? You took advantage of our Xintian City's preferential policies to evade taxes. The medicinal materials you handed in were not enough, but the results were indeed the worst. You even used fake goods to deduct taxes. As for the good ones,
Batch, when you trade with the Shengtu family, do you think we, Tiancheng, are not paying attention? You are so duplicitous and dare to show it when you meet the city lord. Do you think the city lord is kind and kind, or do you think you have nine lives?
It doesn’t matter if you die once or twice!?”
The data for Aragaki Ying was suddenly slapped in the face. Lu Lin's face turned green. I frowned. Looking at Lu Lin, it was like looking at a corpse. He was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground: "Lu Lin knows he was wrong."
Yes! The Lu family has realized their mistake! This time they will definitely calculate their property according to the new tax law! I will never dare to say no! I will also cooperate with Xintian City’s investigation and there will definitely not be any resistance!”
"You dare to lie in front of me. You are a bit brave. Let's do this. I will kill you now. Before you die, you can tell the next head of the Lu family to come out, or you can send him to see me now." I sneered.
road.
Lu Lin instantly sat slumped on the ground, with only a look of despair in his eyes, but soon he said: "After I... die... I also ask the city lord to let my son Lu Zhen inherit the position of head of the family..."
"Haha, I hope he won't learn from you and always try to find ways to take advantage of loopholes. Otherwise, the next one I will destroy will not be you, Lu Lin, but all of your Lu family." After I said that, I instantly hit him with Shattering Void.
, and then his whole body was torn apart and evaporated into a cloud of fire again, burning until nothing was left.
This move frightened all the family patriarchs to completely lose their temper, and their faces were all pale and bleeding. One of the family patriarchs even hurriedly reported the truth about the situation in his family. He even reported several illegitimate children in the family and secretly raised several wives.
When he said it, he was obviously extremely scared. Of course, in the end, he was also afraid that if he died, his favorite son would not be able to inherit the family head, so if he begged me to kill him, he would make sure that the position of family head would not be left to other children.
A group of family heads also knew that my evil reputation had spread throughout the Nine Heavens, and they did not dare to have other ideas. They all began to follow the example of the former, reporting their properties, and some took the initiative to increase taxes.
I took the trouble to let them take turns competing for their confessions, and asked Aragaki Kage standing by to help record them.
Aragaki has long been accustomed to such bloody scenes, and recorded these things as if nothing happened, while Gu Longjun's face was ashen. Of course, he was trembling because of my action of raising his hand to kill just now. I originally thought it was a credit.
I'm afraid that now I feel a cold feeling in my heart. If it were me, he would be killed in my hands at any time. After all, he was used to calling me 'boss' before, forgetting that I am also a decisive person.
Looking back now, the impact was certainly huge.
Gu Longxiu was actually frightened. Seeing Lu Lin being beaten, she even took a step back and grabbed my hand.
"I can regard the previous sins as your inability to accept the new tax law for a while, but I can only remind you today to take care of yourself when you go back. Of course, if you are willing to hand over your taxes and hope to get rectification, I will not be stingy with you.
You return the favor and send the heirs and offerings from your family who have the opportunity to spy on the Heavenly Dao Realm. I will personally take them into the Heavenly Dao Realm. Of course, they will not look back to protect you. Instead, they will go to the Heavenly Dao Space to further their studies and serve your family.
Fight for glory." I said calmly.
There are good and bad ways to use this combination of kindness and power, but even if they are kneeling, they have to accept it completely, and they have to be happy, because there is no second choice given to them. After all, this is my last choice.
Ultimatum.
Xinyuan Ying quickly took out all the things Han Shanshan requested and gave them to these families to look through. There were all kinds of ores, herbs, and all kinds of materials. Many of them were of high grade, knowingly giving them to these families.
Even though we have a monopoly, we have never been able to get it before, but it is different now.
Several clan leaders read the list of materials and immediately began to order the family to prepare. After all, their lives were at stake.
Lu Zhen, the new member of the Lu family, also hurried over quickly, knelt on the ground and cried loudly. Unfortunately, the cry was not about Lu Lin's death.
"City Lord! You are finally here. If you don't come again, my father will probably bring our Lu family to eternal destruction! He is so old and infatuated that he still dreams that the old Celestial City will come back one day, and he wants to do everything he can.
Lead our Lu family to resist the new policies of Xintian City! I have reminded him several times not to do this, but my dad...my dad can't listen to anyone's words and insists on going his own way, which is why we have achieved today's results!" Lu Zhen patted his chest.
, with a look of sadness on his face.
I squinted my eyes. I have long been used to this kind of thing. Which of these aristocratic families can be the head of the family? Which of them is not an actor? With the slightest hint of trouble, he can immediately perform the role suitable for the moment. Although Lu Lin
Fierce, but is his son a softie? Dare to engage in confrontation with Xintian City. It is not just one or two people who can attract such a large scale. This Lu Lin also temporarily raised Lu Zhen. In addition to having a good relationship with this son
, there is no other reason, so Lu Zhen’s current behavior is just to protect himself.
"Haha, it's best that Lu Lin is the one responsible. I also believe that the Lu family actually loves Xintian City. Well, you will be the new head of the Lu family from now on, but you must manage your territory well, and don't
Forget, to others, your Lu family may be a big family with such a high reputation and deep roots, but to Xia Yitian, it can be my cornerstone or my roadblock.
It just depends on how you do it." I said with a sneer.
Lu Zhen said quickly: "From now on, our Lu family will serve you for generations to come, and we will never have any other thoughts!"
"Okay, I want to see the future. I don't want to look at the present anymore. Let's go." I waved them away. Although Lu Zhen had just become the head of the family, other small families actually respected him vaguely. Soon
Just left with him.
I looked at Gu Longjun and said: "Now that this matter has been dealt with, you should have other things to do, right? Why have you been so silent since just now? Could it be that there is something in your heart? Seeing Lu Lin's fate,
Are you scared too?"
"Boss! How can I do that! I, Gu Longjun, have always obeyed you and listened to your teachings. I behave correctly and stand upright! How could I be in the same league as Lu Lin!" Gu Longjun quickly expressed his loyalty.
I snorted coldly and said: "You'd better not forget it, otherwise, your fate will not be much better. Do you think you can really hide everything you do in Gulong City from me?"
Poof, Gu Longjun was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said: "Boss! I know there must be something about me that dissatisfies you. As long as you tell me, I will change it, completely! There will never be any complaints.
!”
"Can you really change?" I asked back. Seeing him nodding decisively, I continued to sneer: "From last night to today, you actually want to ask me for the canonization of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, right? With such unremitting efforts, I
I’ve seen it for a long time.”
When Gu Longjun heard this, his face suddenly became excited. He seemed to think that I was getting to the point. But when he saw that my expression was wrong, he immediately changed his mind: "Boss! How dare I ask for canonization? I just want you to see it.
It just depends on how well I do during this time... As for the position of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, it belongs to the imperial sister, and I will never dare to ask you for it!"
"You have said so, do you really not covet this throne? What if I give this throne to Gu Longchi?" I asked back, which made Gu Longjun sweat all over with shock, and he immediately fell to the ground and said: "Boss
, I am loyal to you, whatever you say will be whatever you say, even if you give the throne to Gu Longchi, I will not dare to complain at all!"
"So, there are still complaints, right?" A trace of displeasure flashed in my eyes, and at this time, Aragaki Ying told me that Gu Longchi asked to see him. (To be continued)
