Chapter 633 The Feng Family Takes Action
"Qing Yi, this can't go on like this! Wu's hand is too long. If I don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid he will really ride on my head!"
Feng Hai gritted his teeth and said, "Just bully me. Tianjie is the place of the Feng family. If he really gets a foothold, wouldn't it bring shame to my Feng family?"
Now in Jinyuan, Wu Chi was so arrogant that he didn't take him seriously at all. His several face-to-face sarcastic remarks made Feng Hai Qingqi's teeth itch.
But he knew better than anyone else that he couldn't afford to offend Wu Chi, and rashly turning against him would only make him more embarrassed.
As a result, he naturally set his sights on Qing Yi.
Quietly waiting for Feng Haiqing's complaint, Qing Yi still didn't show any sign of it. He closed his eyes and rested himself, as if he didn't hear Feng Haiqing's words at all.
"Qing Yi, please say something! Xing Lie asked you to come here to deal with Wu Chi. You can't just ignore everything, right?"
Seeing that his words were of no use, Feng Haiqing immediately moved Feng Xinglie out.
When Feng Xinglie was mentioned, Qing Yi finally opened his eyes.
"Master Haiqing, you are the commander of Tianjie, and the affairs of Jinyuan have always been in your charge! How to suppress Wu Chi is naturally your business! I am only responsible for solving troubles, do you understand?"
Qing Yi's voice was very light, but it seemed to have a different meaning.
Although Feng Haiqing is not smart, he is not really stupid.
In an instant, he understood what Qing Yi meant, and his heart jumped suddenly.
"Qing Yi, you mean... no matter what I do, you will cooperate with me?"
"Master Haiqing, I told you, you are the commander of Tianjie! I am just sent by your lord to cooperate with you. As long as it does not conflict with your orders, I will naturally cooperate with you! However, you will also bear all the consequences. "
Qing Yi repeated again impatiently.
Compared to Feng Xinglie, Feng Haiqing was far behind.
He always wanted to blame everything on others, without taking any responsibility at all. If Feng Xinglie hadn't ordered him to come to Jinyuan to keep an eye on Wu Chi, he wouldn't have bothered to have any contact with Feng Haiqing.
He could hear the sarcasm in Qing Yi's words, and Feng Haiqing couldn't help but blush on his face.
Although he was a little embarrassed, he felt a lot more at ease after being able to get Qing Yi's exact answer.
Heartbroken, Feng Haiqing immediately walked out of the room.
He is just afraid of Wu Chi's strength, but that doesn't mean he won't use tricks!
In fact, when it comes to all kinds of conspiracies and schemes, his brain is absolutely good.
"Come here, send me someone to Tianjie and tell me that each shop will be charged an additional tax of 200,000 star stones every year."
"Lord Commander, is this inappropriate?"
Hearing Feng Haiqing's words, the expressions of the people below suddenly changed, "The taxes are calculated every year. Let's raise the taxes privately... I'm afraid that the shops will rebound. If something goes wrong, it won't be able to end." .”
"Making trouble?" Feng Haiqing sneered and said disdainfully, "I'm just afraid they won't make trouble!"
"ah?"
With a gloomy look in his eyes, Feng Haiqing said in a deep voice, "I am not the only commander of Tianjie now, do you understand?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
Hearing this, several people's hearts moved and asked again.
"Isn't Commander Wu's intention to increase taxes?" Feng Hai asked calmly as his eyes fell on a few people again.
............
"Brother Liu, aren't you kidding! Our annual taxes are fixed and have never changed for thousands of years. How can we increase them at any time? Besides, 200,000 yuan a year is too much, right? "
On Tianjie, after receiving the notice of tax increase, the shopkeepers of various shops changed their expressions.
Rolling his eyes, the guard who came to notify said angrily, "You ask me, I ask who is going. The order comes from Commander Wu. We are just errands. It's useless for you to complain to me."
"Commander Wu?"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be slightly startled and asked in confusion, "Isn't Commander Feng always in charge of this Tianjie?"
"Of course Commander Feng was in charge before, but..." He stretched out his finger and pointed upward. The guard lowered his voice and continued, "Who dares to regard that commander as an incompetent commander now?"
"..."
Patting the shopkeeper on the shoulder, the guard said softly, "Shopkeeper, you are a sensible person! Recently, Commander Wu often invites people to drink at Tianxiang Tower. Spending money is like running water. What do you mean? Are you still Don’t you understand?”
"This is about fighting for power with Commander Feng!"
Having said that, there is no need to say more. The guard shook his head and immediately led the people away.
The same scene continues to play out in various shops on Tianjie.
In just one day, the news of the tax increase has spread throughout Tianjie.
The shopkeepers of several large shops began to gather people from the shops and held a meeting secretly. Everyone checked their information and immediately guessed what happened.
"Okay, the matter is obvious! The tax of two hundred thousand star stones added every year is basically what Wu Chi plans to put into his own pocket."
"Is Wu Chi really so brave?"
"After being ignored for a hundred years, our Commander Wu obviously can't bear it anymore! The people we often invite now are all from Commander Yuan Da. They are obviously trying to win over people's hearts! I see, most of the extra taxes are The benefits he promised to those people...if there is really Commander Yuanda behind this matter! I'm afraid Wu Chi wants to forcefully take a piece of the Tianjie pie and establish his own power."
"It's become obvious! Let's talk about what to do, right?"
For a moment, the shopkeepers of each shop looked at each other and said something to each other, and they suddenly became confused.
After a noisy quarrel for a while, the old man sitting at the top slammed the tea cup on the table and shouted in a deep voice, "Okay, what's the point of such a mess?"
"Shopkeeper Ye, Lianbao Pavilion itself is the largest store in Tianjie. How about you take the lead in this matter?"
Looking over everyone, Shopkeeper Ye slowly said, "The leader dare not say anything, but I, the Lianbao Pavilion, will make a statement on this matter first! We won't give out even half of this star stone!"
"They want to fight for power, that's their business! It has nothing to do with us! His surname is Wu, it's good that he is the commander of Tianjie, but which of our families has no one behind him? If we really want to fight, what does a mere commander of Tianjie have to do?"
These words immediately resonated with everyone!
Those who can open shops on Tianhua Star's Tianjie Street must either have the support of the major sects or have the background of high-ranking officials in Tianting. Otherwise, they would not be able to open shops on Tianjie Street.
Paying taxes is a rule of heaven and no one dares to disobey it!
But raising taxes privately is the private rule of the commander-in-chief. Although no matter who you change, there will be some, but there are still rules!
Even the commander-in-chief must be extremely cautious about such a sudden and unauthorized tax increase! What's more, Wu Chi is still just the commander of Tianjie.
To put it bluntly, I feel so complacent that I don’t know how much I weigh.
"That's right, who is the one named Wu? We gave him some face before because we didn't want to cause trouble, but why is he so arrogant? Do you really think that a mere commander of Tianjie can control us?"
"Shopkeeper Ye is right. What nonsense is there to increase taxes? We won't even give you a single star stone. Let's see what he can do to us?"
"Okay! Since everyone agrees, let's do it! We all have the same attitude, and we don't believe that his surname Wu dares to do anything!"
.............
"Tax increase?"
Wu Chi couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"You said this tax was added in my name?"
"What? Isn't it your order?" After hearing Wu Chi's words, several people couldn't help but be slightly startled.
They have been drinking with Wu Chi these days and have become quite familiar with each other. They came here today just to persuade Wu Chi to stop. After all, the impact of raising taxes is too great, and it could lead to big trouble.
But now looking at Wu Chi's shocked look, it doesn't look like he's faking it, which is strange.
"What's going on?" Wu Chi looked a little more solemn and asked again.
Only then did a few people tell each other the news they got.
In an instant, Wu Chi reacted.
The Feng family finally took action.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to give such an idiotic order to raise taxes, but once the news got out, no one would believe him.
At this time, the shortcomings of him being ignored in Jinyuan were completely revealed.
As long as it was his order to bite everyone to death, then he would really have no excuse.
Once things get serious, he will have to shoulder the responsibility!
At that time, I am afraid that all dismissals will be frivolous. If you are careful, you will be directly accused.
For a moment, Wu Chi's brows knitted together tightly.
The opponent's move seemed simple, even a little childish, but it was undoubtedly very effective.
If we are more ruthless and force people to go to shops to collect taxes, it will definitely cause chaos.
When the time comes, the people in the shop will join forces to appeal, and if the complaint goes to the three commanders, or even directly to Datian, it will be really unclear.
It seemed that in the blink of an eye, Wu Chi was forced to a dead end.
This is not something he can't explain at all.
Even if he has the patience to explain to each shop one by one, it will not work. People will only think that he is doing one thing in front of his face and behind his back. It may even make people think that he is threatening in disguise, and it will only get darker and darker. .
There is no doubt that this is a conspiracy!
People are not afraid of you knowing at all, because even if they tell you clearly that they are setting you up, it will be difficult for you to decipher it.
This is the trend, the general trend of the Feng family.
Even if he just attacks at will, it will be difficult for him to resist.
If he wants to get rid of himself, there is only one way - to exit Tianjie!
Only by no longer being the leader of Tianjie can the rumors be disproven.
But in fact, this is the result that the Feng family is most happy to see.
His brows were raised slightly, and Wu Chi couldn't help but reveal a faint murderous intent in his eyes.
The Feng family has already made a move, so now it's his turn to fight back!
