Chapter 8512 City Lord's Mansion

"The current city lord is the new one, who has been in office for less than a hundred years. The old one is said to be missing. However, when the new city lord came to power, he was not very old, and all his thoughts were on cultivation. Therefore, almost all government affairs were handed over to the three elders, who were the ministers entrusted with the care of the young. These three elders were the highest power commanders in Yunduan City. The backer of the Fan family was one of them. They called each other "old man." Hong Feng explained.

"Three elders, do they have complete control over all the businesses in the city?" Xia Tian asked.

"Yes, they won't care about small businesses, but as long as the business grows bigger, they will be targeted by them. At that time, they must be given benefits, otherwise they will not be able to gain a foothold in Yunduan City, and even in serious cases, they will be directly wiped out. However, the upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked. The three elders themselves have problems, and the people below also want benefits, so the real big backers are the three elders, and there are also many small backers left. There was even chaos for a long time at that time, but it was precisely because of the chaos at that time that a major accident occurred. During that major accident, the city lord came forward and almost took over Yunduan City directly, but later someone happened to send a better cultivation method, so the city lord also went to practice again. Since then, the three elders have begun to re-plan the backers in Yunduan City, and it has become clear all of a sudden, and gradually it has become more disciplined, and finally it has become the current Yunduan City." Hong Feng told the news he learned from Fan Wangxing.

Xia Tian nodded slightly.

That's right.

If there are no rules, something will happen sooner or later. After all, everyone has a time when they are pushed to the limit. They finally build a force, but many people bully them. Everyone wants to collect money, and even many small and medium forces have to collect money. They must be very unhappy.

So in the end.

It turned into a huge contradiction.

Once the contradiction becomes huge, it will be known by the city lord. Although the city lord is devoted to cultivation, he certainly does not want the cloud city left by his ancestors to be destroyed. At that time, the city lord will come forward to preside over the overall situation, and no one will benefit.

And those people in the past must have been exploited layer by layer, so that the people in the shops below can only be constantly exploited.

But after the rules of the three elders, even if these forces are exploited, the three elders will give them some opportunities to make more money, such as paying less taxes every year, or secretly transporting refining materials, etc.

They can continue to expand.

In this way, everyone wins, even if the forces below must be honest and obedient, and dare not be presumptuous.

This is the current city lord's mansion.

"Under the control of the three elders, nothing will happen in the City Lord's Mansion, because they are more afraid of accidents than anyone else. But if something happens in the City Lord's Mansion, it will be a big deal. It is even possible that the City Lord will come out of retreat to take over the City Lord's Mansion. At that time, 80% of the big forces in Yunduan City will have to keep their tails between their legs. They may even think about leaving Yunduan City, because if they are found smuggling materials, the consequences will be disastrous." Hong Feng said.

"So that's the case. Then the recent incident in the City Lord's Mansion is 80% related to the City Lord." Xia Tian said.

"Yes." Hong Feng said.

"If the City Lord is in charge of Yunduan City, it seems that there is no harm to us." Xia Tian said.

"No, once the city lord takes control of Yunduan City, he will not know what has happened in these years. As long as he asks, it will be easy to find out. At that time, he may not necessarily take action against all forces, but he will definitely find a few major forces to attack. In this way, everyone will be in danger, and many people may even choose to leave Yunduan City in the end. Before they leave Yunduan City, 99% of them will choose to take you with them. Of course, they don't care whether you live or die." Hong Feng said.

Hearing this, Xia Tian understood that it was not easy for the forces here to stay here for so long. No one wanted to leave their hometown. They didn't want to leave Yunduan City, because once they left and went to other cities, they might have to continue to rely on others. It would be very difficult to get back on their feet again. They might be squeezed and excluded by various forces, etc. The major forces in any city must be saturated, unless they really have something that can instantly gain a foothold.

And this foothold is Xia Tian.

In fact, many people have begun to doubt Xia Tian.

Although Xia Tian sold low-star treatment last time, it was still treatment. With so many good things in his hands, even a fool would know that he had a problem. Those people would even think that as long as they killed Xia Tian, ​​they could get everything from Xia Tian. At that time, they would attack Xia Tian frantically. If Xia Tian obeyed, they would take Xia Tian away with them.

If Xia Tian did not obey, they would capture Xia Tian's soul and interrogate him, and at the same time search in Xia Tian's storage equipment.

Someone is coming.

Someone is coming from outside the Xia Family Refining Workshop.

This time, it was still an acquaintance.

Fan Yingchou.

When he came to the door of the Xia Family Refining Workshop, his face was full of teasing: "Get out."

Step!

Xia Tian did not waste words and directly opened the door of the Xia Family Refining Workshop, and then walked out: "I don't know how to get out, how about you show me?"

Hum!

Fan Yingchou snorted heavily: "Xia Tian, ​​the higher-ups asked me to give you two ways."

"No need to say, I've already chosen." Xia Tian naturally understood what the other party wanted to say.

"Really? I think you should listen." Fan Yingchou didn't care whether Xia Tian wanted to listen or not, and said directly: "This time it's not Uncle Jiu, but the higher-ups don't want any more trouble recently. The higher-ups I'm talking about are the City Lord's Mansion, so the elders of the City Lord's Mansion asked us to inform you that you either cooperate or die."

City Lord's Mansion.

Uncle Nian.

One of the three elders.

Apparently Xia Tian has made too much noise recently.

Alarmed the elder.

And the elder was worried that Xia Tian would alarm something bigger, so he deliberately asked the Fan family to handle this matter.

"I said, I won't cooperate, especially with your Fan family." Xia Tian said coldly.

"Really?" Fan Yingchou smiled slightly, and then hundreds of people came out directly around him, all of whom were masters of the Fan family. They were obviously well prepared this time: "The elder has transferred all the guards around, that is to say, no matter how big the noise here is, no one will care. In fact, I have always hoped that you would choose the second way, but I must listen to the elder's orders."
