On the other side, hearing Lei Xiao's straightforward question, Kunbu's fat hand holding the teacup couldn't help but froze.
You know, in this city, for civilians like them, the city lord is the absolute ruler.
However, looking at Lei Xiao's unscrupulous expression, Kunbu's pounding heart could not help but calm down a bit, and there was once again a touch of uncontrollable reverence in his eyes.
"It seems that the young adult in front of me has a very special background."
Thinking of this, Kunbu calmed down, gritted his teeth, and simply told everything he knew: "Yes, just as you thought, the reputation of the city lord here is indeed not very good, it can even be said to be very bad.
All of this started a few years ago..."
Next, through Kunbu's description, Lei Xiao learned.
It turns out that Kongqing Town a few years ago was just a little-known town and did not reach the scale of the huge city it is today.
The reason why it developed so rapidly is that the current city lord not only overhauled the roads connecting the surrounding areas, but also used extremely favorable and even discounted investment measures.
In a short period of time, it quickly attracted a large number of merchants from surrounding areas to open shops and trade here.
In this way, when the scale of the city expanded to a certain extent, it returned to its original true appearance and began to extract more and more.
At this time, the trade network in the surrounding area had already taken shape, and many merchants came here with their families to settle.
Therefore, although the income is significantly lower than before, the focus can be on stability and relative security.
Therefore, most people still choose to stay in Kongqing Town.
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Good guy, I'm afraid this city lord is not a third-level nine-star farmer who can cut leeks well."
On the other side, I heard Kunbu swallow a mouthful of spit, and then said: "To be honest, sir, such an action naturally aroused great indignation among us businessmen.
Before the villain, the previous chamber of commerce presidents in the city had approached the city lord for negotiation more than once because of this matter.
The final result is nothing more than nothing.
Even the previous presidents of the Chamber of Commerce and their families all mysteriously disappeared and disappeared from this city forever.
Moreover, on the eve of each disappearance, someone saw the Blood Scorpion Mercenary Group appearing around."
"So that's it. It seems that this city lord is also a ruthless and ruthless character."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao seemed to ask inadvertently: "So, you businessmen in the city are still very dissatisfied with the city lord?"
"My lord, I don't want to talk about this casually. If it doesn't work, I have to..." At this point, Kunbu rolled his eyes and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
After a pause, Kunbu came closer and cautiously whispered to Lei Xiao: "Sir, in fact, not only us businessmen, but also the people in the city are complaining about the city lord.
First, it's because of what the villain just said, condoning the Blood Scorpion mercenary group's behavior of bullying men and dominating women.
Secondly, compared to other cities, the city lord is also very resourceful when it comes to squeezing civilians. He also claims that it is to better enhance his strength and protect the city.
In fact, except for the city lord's cronies and the small number of personal guards, the treatment of ordinary soldiers is also much worse than that of other cities."
"Understood." Lei Xiao pondered for a while, then asked: "Except for the Blood Scorpion Mercenary Group, do other mercenary forces also have the same dissatisfaction with the city lord?"
"My lord, that's exactly what it is."
On the other side, Kunbu sighed first, and then said: "The Blood Scorpion Mercenary Group is even more merciless to other colleagues.
Sometimes, for a commissioned task, they would often fight on the spot, causing other mercenary groups to be killed or injured.
This is very familiar to those of us businessmen who often issue tasks."
"What is the relationship between the Phytolacca Trade Fair and the city lord?" After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao tapped his finger on the table and asked again.
"I don't know much about the specific situation."
Shaking his head slightly, Kunbu said frankly: "The Phytolacca Trade Fair has a strong background and rich wealth, and rarely interacts with ordinary businessmen like us.
However, I heard that the Lord of the City has always been ignorant of the young president of the Trade Fair, and wanted to take him as his own, but he was rejected by the other party."
"You are ignorant, do you want to take it for yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao's mind immediately showed a picture of the philosophical atmosphere that permeated Fantasyland.
Afterwards, he quickly shook his head to eliminate this eye-catching scene from his thoughts, and immediately said: "So, the young president of the Shanglu family should be a woman, right?"
"exactly."
Kunbu nodded, carefully put the newly boiled pot of hot water aside, and said: "I have been fortunate enough to meet the young president of the Shanglu family several times. He is indeed an extraordinary person.
man of."
"Understood." Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao stood up and said with a calm smile: "Okay, that's it for today. Thank you for providing the market information."
"In other words, sir, you are too polite."
On the other side, Kunbu quickly stood up and said flatteringly: "I wonder if your Excellency has already found a place to stay?
The villain happens to know that a place with excellent environment and services is a good place..."
"No need." Wei Wei waved his hand, and Lei Xiao added: "By the way, I wonder if you still have the magic potion from last time in stock here?"
"I'm really sorry, sir. I only have one, and I brought it back from Yehe Town on the other side of the forest."
Kunbu shook his head helplessly and responded: "You must also know that precious things like magic potions generally do not appear in remote towns like Kongqing Town.
Therefore, please don’t be offended, sir.”
"It's okay. Please help me pay attention to this information. I believe it won't be long before we meet again."
Patting the other party's fat shoulder, Lei Xiao put on the hat on his cloak again and walked out of the back room of the shop with the knotweed.
Then, with Kunbu and the store clerk watching respectfully, he returned to the flow of people on the street.
Next, when the two of them passed through a sparsely populated neighborhood, Hu Zhi, who had been silent on the side, finally couldn't help but ask: "Lord, the small business you just mentioned, is it possible to capture this building?"
