Chapter 306 Malicious Salary Increase!

Liu Ruyan is smart in judging the time!

Although she lost her status as a direct disciple of Biyun Peak of Xuantian Sect, she can retain the status of a true disciple of Xuantian Sect, which is second only to direct disciples, which is enough for her to walk sideways in Liuyun Dynasty!

Liu Ruyan is really worthy of the name of the emperor. On her way back to Liuyun Dynasty, she actually got a great opportunity.

After returning to Liuyun Dynasty, she began to retreat to break through the realm.

In fact, there is another big reason for Liu Ruyan to break through the realm, that is, to avoid marriage!

When the corpse disaster broke out in Liuyun Dynasty, General Ji Chengshi led his troops to fight to the death and used his own life to restrain the evil corpse for more than a few months!

In order to let Ji Chengshi go with peace of mind, Emperor Liu Mingsu agreed to the marriage between the royal family and the Ji family.

In front of the civil and military officials, he promised to let his eldest daughter Liu Ruyan marry Ji Boda.

Now that Liu Ruyan has returned to Liuyun Dynasty, she doesn't want to marry Ji Boda, be a wife, and raise children for others!

She wants to be a female emperor, she wants to lead Liuyun Dynasty from a second-rate force to a first-rate force, or even to lead Liuyun Dynasty to a top force.

But in her current situation, she wants to get rid of the engagement and become the female emperor of Liuyun Dynasty.

The only way is to retreat and break through the cultivation level and become the Nascent Soul stage.

Liu Ruyan is retreating madly, but her cousin Ning Xiaowu who is in Xuandan Peak of Xuantian Sect is also not honest.

After Ning Xiaowu heard about what happened in the celebration of Hehuan Sect, she was so angry that she gnashed her teeth after learning that Cao Meng could defeat the God of Transformation!

Why can this evil villain defeat the God of Transformation?

Ning Xiaowu became more and more angry, and she had no choice but to use some means, which won the favor of Dan Songzi, the master of Xuandan Peak.

Dan Songzi abolished the original identity of the chief disciple of Xuandan Peak and gave this identity to Ning Xiaowu.

And Ning Xiaowu's next goal is the position of the saint of Xuantian Sect, and finally the peak master and sect master.

...

Speaking of Cao Meng, he has been the city lord for almost a month.

During this month, he has basically been refining the Zhiyang Pearl and the Questioning Immortal Machine, as well as the fifth-level spiritual weapon, preparing to do something big.

As for the affairs of Chunfeng City, Cao Meng basically didn't care about it, and he didn't have time to care about it.

These are all managed by Min Xue, the city lord's assistant, and Yu Rui.

The unjust senior sister An Yingji also comes to Chunfeng City from time to time. She can guarantee that it has nothing to do with Cao Meng!

She just came to Chunfeng City to visit relatives and visit Lanzhi and An Laodeng who live in Chunfeng City.

As for the matter of Cao Meng, the bastard junior brother, how could it be possible?

It is said that in this month, the hall of the Corpse Yin Sect in the front half of Chunfeng City has been almost built.

However, in the front half of Cao Meng's city, 50% of the industries have been closed and moved away, and moved to the back half of the city where Nie Xuan is!

Those 50% of the industries are all from the faction of Han Sijing and others.

Their move was to cut off Cao Meng's source of income, so that Cao Meng, the city lord, could not continue to work.

As for the remaining 50%, it was either the property of the female devil faction or the property of the neutral faction!

In short, those people had no grudges against Cao Meng, so there was no need to worry about Cao Meng causing trouble for them.

In addition, Han Sijing and the others copied the homework very successfully, and their takeaway group had already been set up.

Xia Yulan, whose homework was copied, was angry several times and wanted to tear these little bitches apart!

...

Calculating the time, tomorrow is the time for Cao Meng to pay the monthly salary to the city guards under his command.

Someone has calculated that according to the monthly salary of the city guards set by Cao Meng at the earliest, this wave of monthly salary will cost at least 150,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

Although Cao Meng has reached the stage of transformation and has become the city lord, the sect itself has to pay Cao Meng a monthly salary.

But Cao Meng's monthly salary for the city guards is five times the normal amount!

The monthly salary that the sect gives Cao Meng is not enough for him to pay his subordinates.

Han Sijing and the others have calculated that Cao Meng will have to pay at least 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones for this wave of monthly payments.

100,000 middle-grade spirit stones is equivalent to 10 million low-grade spirit stones!

Paying so much in a month is a bit scary, isn’t it?

Cao Meng: Isn’t it just 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones?

This is not a big deal. I spent a month with the pink fox and have already formulated a new tax law and various rules and fines for Chunfeng City!

Once it is implemented, spirit stones will come in large quantities!

Huanhua Peak of Hehuan Sect...

Because Cao Meng will pay his subordinates monthly wages tomorrow, Nie Xuan is in a hurry at the moment.

In desperation, Nie Xuan can only come to Hehuan Sect and ask Han Sijing and the others for help, asking them to think of a solution.

In the hall, the master Han Sijing is in the main seat.

Song Yafei, Yu Wenjing, Pei Yu, and Nie Xuan sat on the left and right sides.

"Sisters, if that Cao thief really gives those people a high monthly salary tomorrow, what should I do then?"

Ever since the news of Cao Meng's high monthly salary came out, the people under Nie Xuan have been uneasy one by one.

Because Cao Meng's high monthly salary was just a verbal statement, no one saw it with their own eyes.

Nie Xuan can still temporarily stabilize the morale of the army, but once Cao Meng really pays this high monthly salary, she knows that it will be difficult for her to stabilize the people under her.

Unless at that time, she also gives five times the high monthly salary.

But the problem is that the number of people under her is about ten times that of Cao Meng.

If Cao Meng's high salary is implemented, Cao Meng will pay 100,000 middle-grade spirit stones a month, then she will have to pay 1 million middle-grade spirit stones a month!

She couldn't afford to lose one million middle-grade spirit stones a month.

She had one million middle-grade spirit stones, so why not use them to cultivate, eat, drink and have fun?

"Junior Sister Nie Xuan, what's the point of being anxious now?"

Han Sijing said coldly, with a strange look on her face, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

In fact, Han Sijing really had a way to break Cao Meng's trick, but it was not the right time yet.

"Junior Sister Nie Xuan, you can't ask us to go to Cao Meng now and ask him not to pay the monthly salary, right?"

Song Yafei also wanted to deal with Cao Meng, but the problem was that Cao Meng's trick was too vicious, and she had no way to break Cao Meng's trick for the time being.

"Why don't the five of us go and beat Cao the thief and break his claws, and he will be honest and obedient!"

Yu Wenjing suddenly proposed. Since she was flirted with by Cao the thief last time, she felt that she was not clean.

During this period, she had been refining the big knife, just to be able to cut off Cao the thief's dog claws.

"I support it!"

Nie Xuan was the first to agree to fight. After all, she had been bullied by Cao Meng, and she wanted to regain her face.

"Junior Sister Nie Xuan, how many moves did Cao Meng use to suppress you last time?"

Han Sijing said unhappily, directly revealing Nie Xuan's scars.

Han Sijing asked this question, Nie Xuan was shocked, and then pretended to be calm and said:

"Senior Sister Han, how could I be suppressed by Cao thief with just a few moves?"

"I fought with Cao thief for hundreds of rounds, and was captured by Cao thief because of carelessness!"

In fact, in that battle, Nie Xuan didn't even take Cao Meng's ten moves, and was captured by Cao Meng and humiliated.

But can such a thing be said?

Does she have no shame?

This kind of shameful thing can't be admitted or said even if you beat her to death!

In fact, even if Nie Xuan didn't say it, Han Sijing and the other four had already guessed the situation.

After all, Cao Meng was at the sixth level of the Spiritualization Realm, while Nie Xuan was at the third level. There was a three-level difference between them, so it was conceivable how badly Nie Xuan was defeated.

Han Sijing glanced at the other four people. She estimated that among the few of them present, only she, who was at the sixth level of the Spiritualization Realm, could fight against Cao Ze.

The other four people, two were at the fifth level of the Spiritualization Realm, one was at the fourth level of the Spiritualization Realm, and one was at the third level of the Spiritualization Realm.

These four people together were not enough to defeat Cao Ze.

Moreover, Han Sijing felt that even she was not sure that she could defeat Cao Meng. She did not understand why Nie Xuan and Yu Wenjing wanted to attack Cao Meng?

Moreover, this was the Hehuan Sect. Did they really think that Nangong Yan, the ancestor of the Void Refining Realm, was a vegetarian?

If she and her friends attacked Cao Meng, Nangong Yan would have a reason to attack them!

"Senior Sister Han, are we really going to let that thief Cao do whatever he wants?"

Nie Xuan knew that Han Sijing was the strongest among the five people present, so she wanted to drag Han Sijing into the water.

"I remember that thief Cao, who came to your place of practice to disturb your practice and used a fake method of refining the immortal machine to play tricks on you!"

In order to drag Han Sijing into the water, Nie Xuan also deliberately told her about her embarrassing story.

After Nie Xuan told her about the embarrassing story, Han Sijing finally lost her composure and flashed a trace of anger, but it was gone in a flash.

"Senior Sister Nie Xuan, I have a way to help you deal with the thief Cao and break the situation!"

Originally, Han Sijing didn't plan to tell this method so early, but now she plans to tell it.

"Senior Sister Han, I don't know what price I have to pay to deal with the thief Cao!"

Nie Xuan is not stupid either. From what Han Sijing didn't finish saying.

She guessed that this method requires some price to get it and then do it.

If this price is within my acceptable range, I will never hesitate.

"Junior Sister Nie, my method requires someone to bear the bad reputation and the hatred of the sect disciples.

I am afraid that I will be spurned by the sect disciples in the future. Do you want it?"

Cao Meng's moves are unethical, and Han Sijing can only deal with it with unethical means.

Her method is too unethical, and she doesn't want to execute it.

If she executes it herself, she will inevitably bear the bad reputation, which will be detrimental to her seizure of power and competition for the position of sect leader!

So Han Sijing plans to let Nie Xuan execute this method, and then let Nie Xuan bear the bad reputation!

"Yes!"

Nie Xuan didn't think much and agreed directly.

Isn't it just a bad reputation? As long as Cao Ze can be defeated, what does a mere bad reputation matter!

"Junior Sister Nie Xuan, I remember that the monthly salary of a Jindan-stage cultivator who normally guards the city is about 3,000 low-grade spirit stones a month, right?"

Han Sijing heard about the monthly salary of the city-guarding disciples. According to what she knew, before Cao Meng came, the monthly salary of the Jindan-stage city-guarding disciples in the four cities of Feng, Hua, Xue, and Yue had always been 3,000 low-grade spirit stones.

"Yes!"

Nie Xuan nodded. It was indeed 3,000 before.

However, because of Cao Meng's recent actions, Nie Xuan and the other four city lords all gave the city-guarding disciples a little more monthly salary to ensure their morale.

"The thief Cao gave his city-guarding disciples 150 medium-grade spirit stones a month, which is already five times higher than the monthly salary of the normal city-guarding Jindan-stage disciples!"

"The thief Cao used this trick to deal with you, trying to make your people unstable, so this is malicious!"

Han Sijing's words mainly highlight two words, salary increase and maliciousness.

As long as these two words are properly combined, a new word will emerge: malicious salary increase!

Song Yafei was the first to react, and immediately realized what Han Sijing meant.

She felt that Han Sijing's methods were as wicked as Cao Ze's!

"Junior Sister Nie Xuan, what Senior Sister Han meant was that after this matter ferments for a while and causes a certain impact, you will take the three junior sisters who are the Lords of Hua, Xue, and Yue City and sue Cao Meng for maliciously high salary to the ancestors!"

Song Yafei saw that Nie Xuan had not reacted yet, so she explained to the other party.

Nie Xuan frowned when she heard what Song Yafei said, and analyzed it in her heart.

If she really followed Han Sijing's method, even if Nie Xuan could defeat Cao Meng.

At that time, she, the successful person, would only get a bad name and be stabbed in the back by those disciples in private.

And Cao Ze, the loser, would get a good name.

Nie Xuan felt that this method was a bit tricky and inappropriate!

But Nie Xuan was more careful, and if she didn't do it this way, it seemed like a dead end.

According to the five times monthly salary given by Cao Meng, she would lose millions of medium-grade spirit stones every month if she gave it to her subordinates.

If he didn't give it, his subordinates would definitely lose their morale and leave him.

If Cao Ze didn't become a city lord without any soldiers, he would become one first.

"Okay!"

"Just follow Senior Sister Han's plan!"

After hesitating for a long time, Nie Xuan agreed.

All this was forced by Cao Ze, so she had no choice but to choose this!

Nie Xuan felt that although reporting Cao Ze's malicious salary increase would make her bear a bad reputation, the title of unethical city lord was better than a city lord without any soldiers!

In the end, Nie Xuan and his party decided to report Cao Meng's malicious salary increase when the time was right.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

The city-guarding disciples on Cao Meng's side had been waiting outside Xuantian Pavilion early, waiting for Boss Cao to come out to pay their wages!

To be honest, they were extremely nervous at the moment, and they were also a little worried that Cao Meng could not pay their wages.

Of course, in addition to Ying Ling'er and others waiting for their salaries, there are many people here to eat melons and watch the show. They want to know whether Cao Meng can afford the salary.

Cao Meng became the city lord, but he did not build the city lord's mansion, but lived in Xuantian Pavilion.

It is called frugality and sharing happiness with the people!

"Hahaha!"

After Cao Meng appeared, he yawned and was full of fatigue.

"We have seen the city lord!"

The three sisters of Wanqi Peak and a group of city guards bowed to Cao Meng at the same time.

Even Ying Ling'er, who had a lot of opinions about Cao Meng, did not sing a different tune today for the first time.

Today is the month's salary, Ying Ling'er will naturally not quarrel with Cao Meng at this time, what if Cao thief deducts her monthly salary!

"Everyone is here very actively!"

"Although the monthly salary is a happy thing, you all got up and neglected your duty, which makes this city lord a little unhappy!"

When Cao Meng said this, Ying Ling'er and others were a little unhappy, thinking that Cao Meng was going to default on his debts and couldn't afford it.

After Cao Meng saw what these people were thinking, he said:

"But since it happened for a reason, I won't bother with it. Just be careful when you pay the monthly salary next time!"

"Start paying the monthly salary now. Those on duty today will be paid first. After you get the monthly salary, hurry up and go to work!"

Cao Meng took out a pile of medium-grade spirit stones from his storage ring and piled them into a small mountain. It is estimated that there are also one million pieces.

As Cao Meng's spirit stone mountain was displayed, everyone present was surprised!

Oh my god, everyone said Cao Meng was rich, but I didn't expect him to be so rich! (End of this chapter)
