Qin Wentian stared at the housekeeper and said, "Take me to see the files."
"Yes, Commander." The butler nodded, and then led Qin Wentian to the archives room of the Commander's Mansion. It was a large place with many files on file. Qin Wentian sat down and looked through it quietly, his face gradually changing.
It became ugly.
Only then did he realize that his Beicheng District Commandery was almost nothing more than a showpiece.
Lihuo City does not have the position of city lord. There is a chief commander. This chief commander is extremely powerful and is the confidant of the palace lord. The five chief commanders of Lihuo City are the direct subordinates of this chief commander.
The five major command offices are responsible for managing all the properties of this vast Lihuo City, including all assets in the area under their jurisdiction. All buildings in Lihuo City are registered and belong to the property of Lihuo Palace. Even if they are purchased by others,
Resources still have to be turned in as tribute every ten years, and tribute is paid to the Lihuo Palace, as well as some inns, restaurants, trading venues, auction houses, etc. The tribute that needs to be paid is more, also once every ten years.
As for the Lihuo Palace, the five commanders are responsible for the security of the entire city and the protection of everything in the city. No one is allowed to commit crimes or act recklessly in Lihuo City, otherwise the commanding office will immediately dispatch to arrest and convict them. According to the laws set by Lihuo City,
The law is enforced and the rules are extremely strict.
In other words, all these matters need to be directly responsible by the five major commanding offices. The Beicheng area is so large that Qin Wentian can see countless forces just by casually looking through the files. This commanding office and the inner government have only
There is one butler, two maids, and there are only 3,000 people in the outer palace, and the three major commanders are not here yet. It is simply a mess.
Qin Wentian thought of some big cities in Qingxuan Immortal Domain, such as Nanhuang Immortal City, which were similar to Lihuo City. These big cities strictly prohibited killing and protected everything in the city. Therefore, a truly powerful city is suitable for strong people to settle down.
The family is arranged in such a big city, and the business is also extremely prosperous. This will naturally create a virtuous cycle. The larger the city, the stronger the strong people will pour into it, and it will become a gathering place for aristocratic families and big clans.
The Evil Emperor is also here, looking through the files with Qin Wentian. He has transformed into a human form, and his burly body exudes explosive power. In front of Ye Emperor and Ye Qianyu, he has always been used to appearing in the form of a monster, but now tonight
After the emperor died and Ye Qianyu was captured, he did not belong to anyone else, so he turned into a human form to move around more easily.
"Lihuo Palace is really rich, huh." The Evil Emperor snorted coldly. Not to mention the many resources in the area controlled by Lihuo Palace, this Lihuo City can harvest an extremely huge amount of resources every ten years.
.
With Lihuo Palace like this, one can imagine how terrifying the Immortal Realm Lord, who is the Lord of a Realm, is. However, the more powerful he is, the consumption of resources will be countless times greater. The stronger the person, the more resources he needs.
It's no wonder those extraordinary people fight for territory and control one side.
When he sits in the position of the Lord of the Immortal Realm, he doesn't even need to do anything. A steady stream of cultivation resources will be sent to the Immortal Realm. He only needs to practice quietly.
"The position of commander doesn't seem to be that easy to fill, especially the commander of Beicheng District. I finally understand why Commander Meng left so excitedly." Qin Wentian said calmly.
"It's not that easy to do. You can keep 10% of the resources collected by this commander, which are yours for personal use and can be used as you wish. You must know that even ordinary bandits who plunder are far less wealthy than you, a commander."
The Evil Emperor responded.
"However, it seems that the commander of Beicheng District is not that easy to be. With so many chores, the commander's office is in chaos and is not functioning. If you are troubled by these foreign affairs all day long, as a commander, do you still want to practice with peace of mind?
?" Qin Wentian said calmly. He understood that the most important thing for him was to practice, but the Lord of Lihuo Palace threw him here, and he might not be able to calm down.
"This old guy was hesitant before. I'm afraid he knows a lot of things. Let me ask him." The Evil Emperor glanced at the housekeeper who had been standing outside the door. Qin Wentian knew some of the Evil Emperor's abilities and nodded.
: "Okay, you come and ask questions, be more direct."
A strange look flashed in the eyes of the evil emperor. Soon, a green evil light also flashed in the eyes of the housekeeper. The honest and cunning eyes became blank. Then, the evil emperor began to
Qin Wentian asked questions, and soon, Qin Wentian knew a lot of things he wanted to know, and his expression suddenly became more solemn.
The Helan clan is actually extremely wealthy. Even the Lord of Lihuo Palace is not as wealthy as the Helan clan. In the entire vast Lihuo City, there are countless industries owned by the Helan clan, as well as the industries they secretly control.
Not only that, they are present in other areas controlled by the Lihuo Palace. The Helan clan controls many auction houses and places where magical weapons and magic weapons are traded. The profits in these places are astonishing, because the Helan clan is one of the strongest.
There are countless people worshiped by guests, and their power is extremely huge.
In the Beicheng area, the Helan family can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand. Many people in the command house have been bribed. If anyone goes against the Helan family, they can kill you in many ways. No one can find out everything about Lihuo Palace.
They all pay attention to rules. Even if they knew that some of the leaders had died at the hands of the Helan clan, the Lord of Lihuo Palace could not touch them without evidence.
And with the huge power controlled by the Helan family, they often even stand in the shadows and will never leave any clues. Sometimes even if you find the culprit, you will find that the back is suddenly broken, and you will never be able to find them.
Go on your body.
If that was all, the Helan clan was still within the Lihuo Palace's sphere of influence after all, so how could they dare to compete with the palace master?
According to the old butler, there are some rumors that Helan’s family has people standing behind it even on the side of the Lord of Immortality. In fact, the real person behind the scenes of Helan’s family even once competed with the Lord of Lihuo Palace.
The position of the palace lord, therefore, there has been a secret rivalry between the Helan family and the palace lord. This is not a secret at all.
Within the rules, the Helan clan provoked Lihuo Palace countless times, and Lihuo Palace, this time with the help of Qin Wentian and Ye Qianyu, taught Emperor Helan a lesson, and of course they followed the trend.
Because, it is impossible for Palace Master Lihuo to take the initiative to deal with Emperor Helan. If he is accused to the World Lord, what will the World Lord think?
Therefore, all fights are secret fights within the permission of the rules.
But now, he, Qin Wentian, was involved in this secret fight and was used as a pawn by the Lord of Lihuo Palace and placed in the position of leader of Beicheng District.
Qin Wentian also understood why there was only one housekeeper and two maids in the commander's mansion, and they were both in the Immortal realm, because no one wanted to serve in this commander's mansion.
After letting the housekeeper go, two maids came to report again. Qin Wentian summoned them and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Commander, the foreign government has come to report that there are people making trouble in many places in the Beicheng District. Please ask the commander's office for assistance." The maid whispered.
"What's going on?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Injuring people, robbing magic weapons, stealing, making trouble...all kinds of things." The maid lowered her head.
"These matters need to be reported to me personally. Won't the people below not be able to handle them?" Qin Wentian raised his head and glanced at the maid and asked, if the people below can't do things, wouldn't the commander have no time to spare? This is like
If the Nine Emperors cannot manage the affairs in their jurisdiction well, and the facts are reported to the palace master, what else do they have to do? The palace master of the Nine Realms Palace cannot manage well, and the facts are reported to the Lord of the Immortality Realm, who alone is in charge of the affairs of the entire Immortality Realm.
Not successful?
"They said they didn't dare to make decisions without authorization and needed to ask the commander for instructions, and..."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Moreover, it will soon be time to collect tribute. If these things cannot be handled well, those people will definitely use this as an excuse to refuse tribute." The maid whispered, and Qin Wentian nodded: "You
Go down, and also pass on my order to summon the three lieutenants to come see me."
"Yes." The maid nodded and left. A cold light flashed in Qin Wentian's eyes. He moved so fast. He had just taken office and there were all kinds of things waiting for him to deal with. This was obviously prepared.
"Evil Emperor, can I use the people from Qianyu Palace directly?" Qin Wentian looked at the Evil Emperor beside him and asked.
"The Palace Master is trapped in Lihuo Prison. If it weren't for your compromise, Qianyu Palace would be gone. You can temporarily issue orders on behalf of the Palace Master. However, do you really intend to be used as a chess piece by the Palace Master of Lihuo? Even if you
If he is really used by him, he will not let the palace master go." The evil emperor said.
"But at least, as long as we are being used by him, Qianyu will be fine." Qin Wentian raised his head and looked outside, with a cold light in his eyes. Of course, he understood that to save Ye Qianyu, he must not be kept by the Lord of Lihuo Palace.
Take control or you'll never have a chance.

In an extremely luxurious restaurant in the Beicheng area, in an elegant ancient palace, a woman was dancing gracefully in thin sexy clothes. In the middle was a woman playing the piano. She was wearing a white skirt, as if it were transparent. Her looming skin was as white as snow, and the piano
The voice is extremely beautiful, and the face is covered with a hazy veil, adding a bit of seductive beauty.
At the front, there were three people sitting there, enjoying the dance music. One of them smiled and said: "Fairy Yu, you are getting more and more beautiful and enchanting."
"Indeed." Another person said with a smile: "By the way, have you received the report from the subordinate deacons that the new commander has summoned us to wait for orders?"
"Got it." The person opposite him nodded: "What are your plans?"
The leader's eyes were bright, still staring at the beautiful girl playing the piano, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Brother Zhao, don't you say a few words?" the man below asked after seeing this scene.
"Ignore it." Commander Zhao smiled faintly, causing the person who asked the question to flash his eyes and said: "This new commander is named Qin Wentian. He was appointed by the palace master himself. I heard that Emperor Helan was eating in his hands.
After a big loss, the combat power is very strong, and it can even kill the mid-level Immortal Emperor. Should we be more cautious? Do we want to go and have a look?"
"Commander Lu, most people in the world like to spread lies and exaggerate things. Even if he is very powerful, what can he do? With the three of us together, what can he do to us? Let's cool him down for a while until he urgently needs us.
When the time comes, he will look for us more urgently, but now he summons us with just one sentence, and he really regards himself as the commander-in-chief." Commander Zhao sneered.
The youngest commander had a faint smile on his lips and didn't say much. Some things were tacitly understood and everyone just needed to understand. Presumably, they all got the news from Helan's side!
