In the end, the young master of the Wild Wolf Clan did not choose to fall out with Zhao Wuyou, but walked away with an angry look on his face, leaving Zhao Wuyou alone on the table, watching his back quietly as he left.
"Sir, who is this person? Why is he talking like this? Looking at his fierce look, I am a little scared standing aside." Bing Qing said with lingering fear.
Yujie on the side was not as reserved as she said, but said angrily with a dark face:
"Isn't his cultivation level higher? Just watch. When my cultivation level comes up, I will definitely ask him to properly apologize to the young master."
"Okay, Yujie, if you are ambitious, my safety from now on will depend on your protection." Zhao Wuyou gave a thumbs up and said with a smile on his face.
Yujie, who was praised by Zhao Wuyou for being shy, smiled sheepishly, lowered her head and poured the wine for him.
Not long after, Mulu, who left the team as ordered, rushed back to the cabin. He looked exhausted. He stayed there for a long time and then wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained:
"This court is so difficult to deal with. All of our more than 2,000 people were dispersed, and some who were not in good health were sent directly back to their place of origin, preventing them from staying in the capital.
Before I came back, more than 300 people had been arrested and escorted back to their places of origin, and even had to leave all our businesses."
"We should have guessed this. The emperor has already become suspicious of me. It is normal to weaken us. But there is one thing that is a pity. I did not expect that things would develop so fast, and Wei Long
This guy was so impatient. He originally thought he was sure of victory, but now it turns out that every step he made was within the emperor's plan.
We are all implicated. Now not only do we have to hand over Yangjiao Mountain, but the water transportation you are responsible for will also be affected. I just hope that the bank and other businesses will not be affected." Zhao Wuyou said with some shortness of breath.
Although he hated Wei Long in his heart for tying himself to such a broken ship and causing himself to be punished by the emperor, what he actually hated most in his heart was that the emperor was a piece of shit who could be so ruthless and patient despite all his tricks.
It took so long, the planning was so deep, and everyone was included in it.
Looking at Mu Lu who was a little dejected, Zhao Wuyou patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"It's actually not that bad now. If we leave some things to the emperor, we can actually use the emperor's authority to do our own things.
Take your time from now on, our confidants are all still there, you take your time, take them out of the capital city, and transport them back to the back mountain without being discovered. This secret place is where we depend for our survival.
As for other things, I think you sent some skilled craftsmen to build the secret island into a small workshop, and also arranged for some loyal people to enter it to maintain our power."
Although Mu Lu was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to lower his head. He had always completed Zhao Wuyou's arrangements without any discount.
"More than 2,000 people were lost in one fell swoop, and these people can find out our water transportation once they check. Now only Shendaomen and the bank have not suffered too much losses. Now that I think about it, I am really unwilling to accept it.
I originally planned to show off with the Cao Gang, but now it seems that I have to take a good two years to recover to the previous state." Mu Lu looked at Zhao Wuyou regretfully, he still wanted to seek revenge from the Cao Gang.
A very deep obsession.
Seeing how depressed Zhao Wuyou was, he could only comfort him and said:
"Don't be afraid. What the Caobang needs now is business, and most of the business in the capital is beginning to be concentrated in our Yangjiao Mountain. The above mentioned name is to give Yangjiao Mountain to the emperor, but I still have to take care of it. He, the Caobang, wants business
, why don’t you come to me?
As long as they come, I will have a chance to deal with him. You are less than twenty. I guarantee that you will avenge the Cao Gang within three years. If you really can't wait, then let the people in the workshop make a big firecracker.
Let’s set off that Cao Clan leader like a firework.”
After Zhao Wuyou said this, Mu Lu finally smiled and said shyly:
"If I have a chance for this gang leader, I will make him regret it or I will never let this guy die too easily."
"Hehe, that's right. It's good to have such ambition. You have been cautious recently, and then cut the exposed parts with the unexposed parts, so as not to be caught by the emperor."
After explaining the matter clearly, Mu Lu also regained his majesty under the guidance of Zhao Wuyou, and led people with the golden sword to leave Yangjiao Mountain.
Zhao Wuyou also saw Qian Guangshang and Xing Yuqiang during this period.
"Sir, that Wu Hai just said that our Yangjiao Mountain will be under the control of the emperor, is it true?" Qian Qianqiang couldn't hide the matter in his heart, so he looked at Zhao Wuyou nervously and asked.
Xing Yuqiang on the side also said:
"Young master, we both were pushed out. We don't know what happened. We only heard that a big accident happened inside the imperial city. We only found out this morning that Wei Long, the leader of Fengming Sect, died.
Moreover, Zhao Wuhen, the Zhen Guogong, also died together. What on earth is going on?
Something serious happened in Yangjiao Mountain yesterday, but we were blocked by the Crown Prince’s guards. Did something serious happen?”
Seeing the question marks on their faces, Zhao Wuyou stopped pretending and shrank with a smile:
"As for what happened, I can only say that it is a very serious matter, but it has nothing to do with you two, and the matter is too sensitive, so I can't say more.
Our Yangjiao Mountain was also given to the emperor by me, but your two-thirds dividend was still retained. It’s just that our Yangjiao Mountain has received more attention from the emperor, and he also wants to help us. It’s not a big deal. It has nothing to do with our
The plan has nothing to do with it."
Being so comforted by Zhao Wuyou, Qian Guo and Xing Yuqiang were a little confused. In their minds, although Zhao Wuyou was not a person who cared about money, they did not expect that Zhao Wuyou could be so generous as to spend himself directly.
It would be strange if there was no hidden secret in a big fat bull made by money and given to the emperor.
But seeing that Zhao Wuyou was unwilling to say more, the two of them stopped asking more questions and asked instead:
"This Wu Hai is the younger brother of the Crown Princess. He is known to be a smart man and a very clever person. He said that he wants to establish a county in Yangjiao Mountain. He will be the county magistrate and you will be the county magistrate. Let's build Yangjiao Mountain together.
Is this true?
Since the emperor attaches so much importance to our place, why would he send a person with such a sensitive identity to appear? What is his intention? Is it to let this person go and spy on you?"
Zhao Wuyou was outspoken about not having enough money, and Xing Yuqiang was cautious, so Zhao Wuyou did not dare to say much when explaining, for fear that the big event that happened yesterday would be known to these two people. After all, the emperor had promised that it should not be known to outsiders. If he said it,
If these two people guess again, something will definitely happen.
After thinking about it, Zhao Wuyou finally gave up the motivation to continue talking, and instead began to console himself:
"We don't care what Wu Hai does, as long as he can bring us benefits to Yangjiao Mountain. As for what the emperor thinks, it has nothing to do with us, and it won't have much impact on our lives."
The two finally got Zhao Wuyou's approval, but Zhao Wuyou never explained what happened yesterday. They could only scratch their heads and leave with regret.
For a time, various rumors about what happened in the capital yesterday were rampant. Some of them were mere words, and some were groundless speculations. Everyone was muttering about something, but none of them was true.
For people who clearly know what happened yesterday, the people involved dare not say anything lightly, as if yesterday did not exist.
But the emperor's next actions greatly satisfied the curiosity of those people.
The First Elder, Wei Long, the Seventh Elder, and the Prime Minister were all declared dead, and their families were all dealt with cleanly. The methods were so ruthless that Zhao Wuyou was dumbfounded, but helpless.
As a person who is valued by the emperor and guarded by the emperor, he cannot appear excessively in other people's remarks, otherwise it will cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.
There was a roaring wind in the capital, and this wind also blew to Yangjiao Mountain. Originally, the crown prince brought three thousand people here to arrest people, but they turned out to be cold corpses. Everyone blamed Zhao Wuyou for this
, but no one can produce evidence.
Moreover, the emperor directly issued an order to change the area around Yangjiao Mountain into Fudi County, with Zhao Wuyou as the county magistrate and Wu Hai as the county magistrate, directly under the command of Jingzhao Mansion.
All these circumstances indicate that Zhao Wuyou has been promoted and does not look like he is about to be dealt with.
The transformation of Yangjiao Mountain into Fudi County has aroused the enthusiasm of many people, and they once again poured their enthusiasm into Yangjiao Mountain.
All merchants inside and outside the capital knew about the existence of Yangjiao Mountain, which had become prosperous again after two days of silence.
Zhao Wuyou has become particularly honest in recent times. He has also secretly explained everything about Fudi County. On the surface, he has left everything to Wu Hai to handle, and he is happy to be in peace.
On Yangjiao Mountain, Zhao Wuyou opened up another place and raised flowers and plants in his spare time, as if he was indifferent to the world.
Every day, Wu Hai still followed his own rules and came to Zhao Wuyou to sign and seal. By the way, he chatted with Zhao Wuyou and completed the tasks assigned to him by the crown prince. There was no contradiction in the mutual respect.
However, Zhao Wuyou did not forget to practice without noticing. He knew that the emperor would definitely refine those leopards into leopard essence. His diligent practice was only for self-preservation at best.
But it's better than nothing. It's better to become stronger through your own cultivation than to be controlled everywhere.
Ever since Long Shengyi asked him to support the emperor that day, there had been no movement at all. Zhao Wuyou was also cursing her secretly in his heart for making himself pay such a heavy price. However, after the incident was completed, she disappeared. She was simply a professional.
Someone who cheats his teammates.
"Master, Wu Hai is here to see you." Bingqing Yujie walked up to Zhao Wuyou and said while looking at Zhao Wuyou who was sitting on a wicker chair enjoying the cool air.
"Didn't you look for it today? Why are you still looking for it? Isn't he too annoyed?" Zhao Wuyou closed his eyes and complained while lying on the wicker chair, but he could hear that Wu Hai not far away could
hear him speak.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Wuyou is really free and easy. Although you are no longer a halberd wielder, you are still a seventh-grade county magistrate in our Fengming Empire. You can't be lazy like this."
Wu Hai walked up to Zhao Wuyou with a smile, holding a set of thick brochures in his hand.
Looking at this posture, Zhao Wuyou knew that the period of sweet talk was over. This guy already had a certain understanding of Yangjiao Mountain and was beginning to overturn his decision and establish his own prestige.
"Hey, what's so free and easy? With you here, I feel most at ease, and our Yangjiao Mountain is developing well. If we follow the current way, there will be nothing wrong.
Wu Hai, I believe in you, you can definitely do a good job. In two days, I think we can tell His Highness the Crown Prince that you will be the county magistrate and I will be the county magistrate."
Although Zhao Wuyou said what he said very rudely, he didn't care that much even if these things came true. After all, since the emperor has collected so much leopard essence, he will definitely go into seclusion and practice. When the time comes, the prince will stick to his word.
, he will definitely attack himself.
The emperor confessed that he would not kill him, but his county magistrate might not be able to do it.
Wu Hai listened to Zhao Wuyou's teasing and didn't care in his heart. He knew that this was what everyone knew, and there was no need to refute. The reason why he was able to get Zhao Wuyou's subordinates was to master Yangjiao Mountain one day and then replace him.
Zhao Wuyou.
But now that he has discovered the problem, he cannot wait until later, but now. He must let Zhao Wuyou know how tyrannical he is, and at the same time be able to test Zhao Wuyou's bottom line.
He walked forward, looked at Zhao Wuyou with a smile, and said:
"Sir, here are all the registered personnel in Yangjiao Mountain, a total of more than 33,000 people.
Moreover, the number of fields for each household is recorded, which I believe quite a bit, but there is one thing I am not clear about.
Why don't these people have land deeds? When asked, they said that this land belongs to you, sir, and you are the only one who has the land deeds. They will give you a certain amount of grain every year, is that true?"
"Well, that's right. The land deed belongs to me, and I let these people farm the land. After they have harvests, I collect a very small part as field tax. These field taxes are very small, at least less than what the court stipulates.
, is there any problem?" Zhao Wuyou said casually while drinking tea.
"Yes, there is a problem. This problem is not small." Wu Hai frowned and said:
"The imperial court has regulations. Normally, it doesn't matter how much you harvest from your own fields, but is it time to change it now? After all, Yangjiao Mountain has to bear a large part of the royal family's expenses." This chapter has been completed!
