Chapter 656 They Are All Strong Women, What Should I Do?

Gray Hair had cold sweat on his head. Although his current status was not low, it was because he was good at scheming. In an empire where most people did not like scheming, it was easy for people like him to improve their status.

But it was precisely because of this that Gray Hair was looked down upon by many people. His reputation was even worse among the imperial nobles.

Near this imperial capital, many people knew what Gray Hair was, and there were too many people who disliked him.

If he could not answer this question well, then his career as a commander would be over. Once he lost his current status, I am afraid that many blows would follow, because he had offended so many people.

"Yes, Gray Hair, what do you mean by this? When did the residents of the Half-Elf Empire have to be divided into levels? Who gave you such great power? Is your status higher than ours?"

There were still a few small half-elf nobles nearby, and they had been unhappy with people like Gray Hair for a long time.

Gray Hair had cold sweat on his head, and suddenly, Gray Hair realized that he could not go on like this.

So Gray Hair shouted loudly: "You are distorting it. I didn't say that. It is my duty to maintain the law and order of the imperial capital. There are so many people gathered here, so of course I have to come and see."

Is this going to avoid the topic? Chi Nan rolled his eyelids. He can see that although this Gray Hair is so arrogant and seems to have a high status, he is actually an idiot.

Yes, after all, it is the half-elf empire. Most of the half-elves are very simple. How can they compare with the old hands of humans. Gray Hair is like this, maybe it is already very remarkable.

Chi Nan is too lazy to regard such an idiot as an enemy. "So, what do you want to do."

Chi Nan looked at this guy with interest. Now Chi Nan's mentality has changed, and his eyes seem to care for the mentally retarded.

Gray Hair took a deep breath: "Have you paid taxes? You can't do business in the imperial capital without paying taxes."

Chi Nan rolled his eyes. This time it was not Chi Nan who spoke, but Orna next to him who came over. He was holding a book in his hand, and the title was the Code of the Half-Elf Empire.

Orna pointed to the clause in the book and said, "The law of the Half-Elf Empire stipulates that the invited half-elves are guests of honor, and guests do not need to pay taxes when doing business within the Half-Elf Empire."

It is written clearly, but it seems that most people never know the law very well, and the people around are the same. But seeing this solid evidence, everyone knows.

Now, Gray Hair is too embarrassed to see anyone. "Humph, you don't even understand the law and you come out to enforce the law. I really don't know how you can be the commander of the God's Guard. I must report it and let people investigate it carefully."

"Count me in. I have long disliked this guy. I think he has more gnoll blood in him."

This is already a curse. After all, half-elves themselves are not pure in blood, and they rarely use blood to make things.

Now, Gray Hair can't stay here anymore. "Very good, I will remember you. We will continue to follow up on this matter. I hope you don't break the law here. Let's go."

I have become a joke today. If I continue to stay here, maybe even my position will be lost. Gray Hair continued to hurry back and make arrangements.

As long as he moved quickly, there would be no problem in keeping his position. Gray Hair never thought that he would be forced to this extent by an outsider. Gray Hair knew that he had a bad reputation.

But what if he had a bad reputation? As long as it didn't break out completely, it wouldn't cause any trouble.

But this time, his bad reputation was completely detonated by an outsider, causing him to become the center of the topic. Once this kind of thing gets out of hand, his position will not be able to be kept. After all, this is the Half-Elf Empire, which is different from humans. Half-elves are equal. If the public resentment boils, no one can protect themselves.

Seeing Gray Hair leave in disgrace, cheers suddenly sounded below. It seems that this guy is really unpopular here. Chi Nan's mouth curled slightly, and soon put this matter behind his mind.

He didn't come here to show off, but to expand trade. Territory development is secondary. The most important thing is to get some special plants that he needs. This is the real key.

In the past few days, Chi Nan has collected a lot of local special plants. Although the effect is not too great, or he has not found the specific effect yet, it is already very good.

There is also a silver-level plant that secretes a super-powerful anesthetic that is not harmful to the human body. Using this, Chi Nan can replace the high-end anesthetics he uses. This harvest is worth the price of the trip here.

It's a pity that there is still no trace of the required gold plants. It seems that gold-level plants are very rare even in the Half-Elf Empire. Chi Nan has no choice but to slowly think of a way.

The next few days were very peaceful. Chi Nan also found out that Huimao was attacked by public opinion, so he jumped up and down and made connections everywhere, which was able to barely maintain his position.

It is said that in order to maintain his position, Huimao has spent nearly half of his family property, but there are still many unfavorable comments about Huimao in the outside world. Huimao is almost hairless these days. It is said that half of his hair on his head has been pulled out by himself. It is a pity that I didn't see Huimao, so Chi Nan didn't know what happened to this guy.

Speaking of which, even Chi Nan himself didn't expect that he could cause such a big trouble to Huimao with just a few words.

Sure enough, in these equal and free empires, the influence of public opinion is extraordinary.

Because of this matter, Sophia had a new idea. These days, even if I want Sophia to accompany me, I don't have time. Chi Nan is so depressed.

In the end, Chi Nan had to bring up the concept of newspapers and handed it over to Sophia.

Well, Sophia suddenly turned into the queen of media, and all her thoughts were on newspapers. She planned to start a newspaper industry after returning to control the public opinion in the entire Holy Tree Territory.

"Oh my God, both wives are strong women, what should I do?" Chi Nan wanted to cry but had no tears. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been so harsh on Huimao. It's okay for him to take advantage of me.

Because of this incident, even the increasingly hot business scene seemed boring to Chi Nan.
