When Ye Zhongming left, he happened to catch up with Pao Bai who was walking out angrily.
This idol of the Star Eye Clan is a fighting maniac to the outside world, but a bit informal with people he knows well. But in fact, Pao Bai is very calm at all times, even when others think he is a madman.
Just like what Ye Zhongming said to the elder of the Su clan at the beginning, everyone said that he was crazy, but he was so crazy that he still had nothing to do and even rarely suffered injuries. This is enough to show that Pao Bai is much calmer than he looks on the surface.
And more measured.
What could possibly make such a person so angry?
"Old Ye, you came just in time. Come on, gather some people and let's go make some noise." Pao Bai grabbed Ye Zhongming and walked outside.
Ye Zhongming didn't know why, and just when he was about to ask, he saw Cheng Giljin also coming out.
"Pao Bai, I know you are angry, but now is not the time to make trouble. You should calm down and come up with a countermeasure."
Commander Jin stood in front of the two men. He was really afraid that Ye Zhongming, who was also young and energetic, would follow Pao Bai and cause trouble.
"What happened?"
Ye Zhongming glanced at the rooms of the two clan leaders and asked about the gilded and white robes.
Pao Bai snorted coldly, lowered his head slightly, and looked sharply, as if he didn't want to say anything.
Cheng Liujin sighed and said: "Today, our clan received a notice from the Antiao City Committee. There are three main things."
"The first thing is that the Huo transport team outside the city was attacked, but who did it has never been found out, so the notice said that all races should be searched, and all races in the city were even asked to cooperate, and all members should cooperate with their investigation.
.”
After hearing this, Ye Zhongming narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you doubt us?"
No one else knew about the attack on the Xinghuo people, but it was not a secret among the top leaders of the Xingyan clan. When he first heard the news, Ye Zhongming's first reaction was that the matter had been known.
Cheng Liujin shook his head: "I don't think so. You guys did it very quietly. Later I went to clean up the battlefield. I won't leave anything behind. If they really have any evidence, what kind of notification will they give us?
, we have sent troops here a long time ago."
Only then did Ye Zhongming find out that Cheng Liujin went to the scene again after he and others left that day.
"I think what they did is blackmail and beating." Pao Bai suddenly said this at this time.
Cheng Liujin continued: "The second thing is a continuation of the first thing. Because something happened, the people from Batou decided to expand the city guard system in Antiao City and form a second city guard army. Each race
In addition to sending people, you also have to pay city guard tax. There is a ratio. If you send people, you will pay less tax. If you don't send people, you will pay more tax."
Ye Zhongming understood most of it just by listening to it. He estimated that this was a way for these races to deprive small tribes.
"These guys, what kind of city guard?! They are just their private army, but they want us to pay to support them! Look at how many races have died in Darkstrip City in the past hundred years, and you will know how many disgusting things these beasts have done
thing!"
Pao Bai's body was filled with murderous intent, and it was obvious that he really had the intention to kill.
"That is to say, they have chosen to provide people and ask us to pay for it?" Ye Zhongming was also very angry.
All the races in the universe are like this. They have even lost their true homeland, and they are still forcing small races like this! Maybe, this is a process of reshuffling the cards, and some races will always be eliminated.
"No, we can also recruit people, but there is a quota. According to the ranking of race, our clan ranks very low among all races in the entire universe. Basically, we can only send out about a hundred people at most. If you pay less, it will not be less.
How many."
After having a conversation with Ye Zhongming, Paobai's mood stabilized a lot, and he answered Ye Zhongming's questions.
"There are two thousand people in the entire city guard, and one hundred people is one-twentieth. It stands to reason that the amount of money to be reduced should also be this ratio, but in fact it is not, it is just a little less. And for the soldiers who join the city guard
There are requirements for strength. Basically, we only have golden warriors to meet the requirements. But even so, if we send a hundred people there in order to pay a small amount of money, not only will we not get any supplies, but we will have to do all the dirty work.
, wherever there is danger, our people will definitely go first. The last time the First City Guard was formed, the situation was like this. All the soldiers we sent out died within a few months, and they actually asked us to continue sending them out.
When people pass by, I&……%￥……#……￥%*……#!”
Pao Bai spoke obscenely and greeted all the races in Batou.
Ye Zhongming understands this kind of thing very well. It seems that this kind of situation happens no matter on the earth or among all races in the universe, or in any era.
It is clear that these small tribes who have little ability to resist are exploited.
"If we only take money, how much will it cost?" Ye Zhongming asked.
"It is divided into two methods, one is a one-time payment, with a monthly annuity of 500,000 yuan per year, and the other is an installment payment, with five payments a year, with a monthly annuity of 110,000 yuan."
Ye Zhongming sneered, this is really treating the small tribe as fat sheep.
"What about the third thing?"
Cheng Liujin took the two people to one side and sat down, and replied: "The third thing is about you, don't you want to buy land? It was originally agreed that the reward would be plus 1.5 million per month. Ya
After Shinan got your confirmation, he reported this, but before your assessment was over, the Antiao City Committee responded to the letter, listing various reasons and saying how good it was there. One hundred and fifty
If it doesn’t work out, I’ll need 2.5 million!”
"Damn it!" Ye Zhongming couldn't help it when he heard this. These guys were simply bullying people too much.
"In terms of land, can the Eight Heads of Dark Strip City have the final say?" Ye Zhongming didn't quite understand the relationship.
"It's not possible in name. It requires the approval of the survivor fortress where we are located. However, for this layer-by-layer reporting system, they asked for an extra million monthly pension from us and gave some of it to the superiors at will. No one
Those who will speak for us, even just by looking at the price, the people above will understand that even if they go beyond the level to file a lawsuit, no one will take care of it, because if they do, it will be equivalent to cutting off their own financial resources."
Ye Zhongming and Pao Bai exhaled together. Even though they knew Cheng Liujin was right, they still felt extremely depressed.
Pao Bai had completely calmed down. He and Cheng Liujin looked at Ye Zhongming together, planning to say something to comfort him.
Apart from the two clan leaders, Ye Zhongming was under the greatest pressure from this notice from the Antiao City Committee.
"Give me money!"
Ye Zhongming suddenly stood up.
"Don't they want money? Give it to them. Even for the first thing, as long as they don't embarrass the Star Eye Clan, we will give them as much as they want."
Pao Bai and Cheng Liujin also stood up, trying to dissuade Ye Zhongming from cooperating with the other party's blackmail.
"It doesn't matter, just give it to them." Ye Zhongming said with a cold look on his face: "It won't take long before they know that money... is not so easy to spend."
