Chapter 73: The situation in the city
On the other side, upon hearing Lei Xiao's question being so straightforward, Kunbu's fat hand holding the teacup couldn't help but stagnate.
You must know that in this city, for these commoners, the Lord of the City is the absolute ruler.
However, looking at Lei Xiao's unscrupulous expression, Kunbu's thumping little heart couldn't help but calm down a bit, and there was an uncontrollable reverence in his eyes again.
"It seems that the background of this young adult in front of him is really not simple."
Thinking of this, Kunbu calmed down, gritted his teeth, and simply revealed everything he knew: "Yes, just as the adults thought, the city lord here, the reputation is really not very good, it can even be said that it is very bad.
It all started a few years ago..."
Next, Lei Xiao learned from Kunbu's description.
It turned out that Kongqing Town a few years ago was just a little-known town, and it did not reach the scale of today's huge city at all.
The reason why it has developed so rapidly is because the current city owner not only overhauled the roads connecting the surrounding areas, but also used extremely favorable or even subsidized investment promotion measures.
In a short period of time, a large number of merchants from the surrounding area were quickly attracted to open stores and trade here.
In this way, after the scale of the city has expanded to a certain extent, it will restore its original true color and begin to intensify its exploitation.
At this time, since the trade network in the surrounding area has been formed, and many businessmen have come to settle here with their families.
Therefore, although the income is significantly lower than before, the focus can be on stability and relative safety.
Therefore, most people still choose to stay in this Kongqing Town.
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curl his lips.
"My good fellow, I'm afraid this city owner is not a third-order nine-star farmer, and he can cut leeks very well."
On the other side, Kumbu swallowed a mouthful of spit and said, "Don't hide it from your lord, such a move naturally aroused great indignation among us businessmen.
Before the villain, the previous presidents of the chambers of commerce in the city had, because of this matter, approached the Lord of the City for consultation more than once.
The final result is nothing but nothing.
Even the previous presidents of the Chamber of Commerce and their families all mysteriously disappeared and disappeared in this city forever.
Moreover, on the eve of each disappearance, someone saw the blood scorpion mercenary group haunting the surroundings. "
"It turns out that this is the case. It seems that this city owner is also a ruthless character."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao asked inadvertently: "So, now you businessmen in the city are still very dissatisfied with the city owner?"
"Sir Maye, you don't want to talk about it casually. If you can't fix it, you have to..." Having said this, Kumbu rolled his eyes and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
After a pause, Kunbu got closer and whispered cautiously to Lei Xiao: "Sir, it's not just us businessmen, but even the people in the city are complaining about the city lord.
First, because the villain just said, condoning the behavior of the blood scorpion mercenary group to bully men and women.
Second, compared to other cities, the city lord is also very effective in squeezing civilians, and it is also euphemistically called to better strengthen his strength and protect the city.
In fact, apart from the confidants of the city lord and the small part of the personal guard, the treatment of ordinary soldiers is also much worse than that of other cities. "
"Understood." After pondering for a while, Lei Xiao asked again, "Then apart from the Blood Scorpion Mercenary Group, other mercenary forces have the same dissatisfaction with the City Lord?"
"If you go back to your lord, that's exactly what happened."
On the other hand, Kunbu first sighed, and then said, "The Blood Scorpion Mercenary Group is even more ruthless towards other colleagues.
Sometimes, for a commissioned mission, they often fight on the spot, causing other mercenary groups to be killed or injured.
This point is all too familiar to us businessmen who often post tasks. "
"What is the relationship between the Shanglu Trade Fair and the city owner?" After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao tapped the table with his finger and asked again.
"The specific situation, the villain is not very clear."
Shaking his head slightly, Kunbu said frankly: "The business land fair has a strong background and a lot of money, and he rarely interacts with ordinary businessmen like us.
However, I heard that Lord City Lord has always been fond of the young president of the Shanglu Trade Fair, and wanted to take it as his own, but he was rejected by the other party. "
"Qingmei has a plus, take it for yourself?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao's mind immediately showed a philosophical atmosphere pervading Gensokyo.
Afterwards, he quickly shook his head, removed the hot-eyed image from his thoughts, and immediately said, "So, the young president of the Shang Lu family should be a woman, right?"
"That's ~ Kunbu nodded, put the newly boiled pot of hot water carefully aside, and said, "The villain has been fortunate enough to meet the Shang Lu family a few times. The young president is indeed an extraordinary person. "
"Understood." Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao stood up and smiled lightly: "Okay, let's go here today, thank you for the market information you provided."
"Where is it, sir, you are too polite."
On the other side, Kunbu hurriedly stood up and flattered: "I wonder if your lord has already found a place to stay?
The villain happens to know that an environment and service are both excellent places..."
"No need." With a slight wave of his hand, Lei Xiao added: "By the way, the potion from last time, I wonder if your Excellency still has it in stock?"
"I'm really sorry, sir, there is only one villain, and it was brought back from Yehe Town on the other side of the forest."
Kunbu shook his head helplessly, and responded, "You must also know that such precious things as potions generally do not appear in remote towns like Kongqing Town.
Therefore, please adults don't take offense. "
"It's okay, help me pay attention to this information. I believe it won't be long before we meet again."
Patting the other's plump shoulder, Lei Xiao put on the hat on the cloak again, and walked out of the back room of the shop with the knotweed.
Afterwards, under the respectful watch of Kunbu and the shop assistant, he returned to the flow of people on the street.
Next, when the two of them were passing through a sparsely populated neighborhood, the tiger sticks, who had been silent, finally couldn't help asking: "Lord Lord, the petty business you just mentioned is not going to capture this place. Kongqing Town, right?"
