Extraordinary Ring

Chapter 132 Overt and Covert Investigation (Second Update)

Haozhou City is a relatively complex continent within the scope of the Beitang family's strength. The entire Haozhou City has a square city structure, spanning 50,000 miles from east to west and 30,000 miles from north to south. The total area reaches more than 100,000 square meters, although it is not as good as the north. The headquarters of the Tang family, but it can also be considered a first-class city above the God Realm!

Long Kexia, the leader of Haozhou Prefecture, has a high level of cultivation. It is said that he has reached the level of a six-star god king and has few opponents, so no one dares to make trouble in Haozhou City. The person who can become the master of a state not only has extraordinary The ability is also indispensable in the background.

According to the list written by Beitang Yaoyue, the head of the family, to Li Huai, this Long Kexia is the distant nephew of Beitang elder Long Taizhen. He is cunning, narrow-minded, arrogant, and the person who offended him. They will all think of ways to take revenge and will not stop until death!

The center of Haozhou City is the main palace of the state, and the palaces are magnificent and majestic.

In a hall called Ziqi, a majestic blond man wearing a golden robe sat on a golden throne. On both sides of him stood dozens of powerful masters of the god king level. At this time, a god king was standing Standing in the center of the hall, he reported to the majestic blond man on the throne:

"State Master, I have heard clearly that the new elder will come to Haozhou City to take up his post in a month. However, State Master does not need to worry. It is said that he is just a boy with good luck. He relies on the Holy Dragon to achieve his position. It seems that he is not qualified to sit on the position of elder at all. Haozhou has been managed like an iron barrel by us. When he comes to Haozhou, won't he be at our mercy? "

"Really? The head of the family actually sent such an ignorant kid to take charge of Haozhou. With her intelligence, she wouldn't have thought that we would make things difficult for him, right?" The blond man sneered.

"Hey, State Master, I also found out that that boy has a good master. His master is Mad God, and the head of the family has great favor with Mad God, so he insists on promoting that boy to an elder!"

"Interesting? He is actually the disciple of Mad God! I would like to see how powerful the disciple of Mad God is!" A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of the man in gold robe.

"State Lord, you think so highly of him. That kid is nothing compared to the State Lord! He has just broken through to the God King. Even if his master is a mad god, he will not be anywhere near as powerful! By then, if he dares to disobey , let’s find someone to deal with him once and he’ll be honest!”

The blond man's face turned cold. "In that case, the new elder is not worth mentioning! Huh, since he is so useless as you said, how could he get the attention of the family leader, and he has also made great contributions to the world! We can't go too far. Look down on him and do things Don't be too careless. You can send people to inquire and find out his details. If he is willing to be a puppet elder and does not stop me from doing things, I don't mind letting him enjoy his life. If he doesn't know what he is doing, I have a thousand options. There is a way to deal with him!"

"That's what the state leader said! This is not something that my subordinates thought carefully! I will send someone to investigate now!"

"Okay! Let's not talk about him anymore. It's not worth wasting too much time on an ignorant kid!" The blond man waved his hand, and the God King withdrew from the Purple Air Palace, while the others began to report other things.

After Li Huai gave Bi Dong a few words, he acted alone. He took out his formation and hurried away. How much faster was he? After a few hours, he was already very close to Haozhou City.

Looking at this majestic and huge city from a distance, Li Huai nodded appreciatively, fell from the sky, and strolled towards the city gate. There were many gods walking on the avenue, and many of these gods were... As the middle god and the upper god, the god king has never been seen. Li Huai hides his aura, so people who are weaker than him will only regard him as a god at the peak of the upper god.

You can only enter the city gate by walking, not by flying. There are restrictions in the sky, and you are not allowed to fly in the city. Only the God King can fly. If you have not reached the realm of the God King, you have to break the rules. I'm sorry, you will There are patrol masters to deal with you! This rule works in every city!

Li Huai's powerful soul power swept across the avenue, and there were countless gods and men entering the city. He thought to himself, "I'm afraid there are close to 100 million gods and men entering the city every day!"

There is a fee to enter the city gate, one divine crystal for the high-ranking god, three divine crystals for the middle-ranking god. As for the lower-ranking gods, they are not allowed to enter, and the divine king does not need to pay.

Since Li Huai hid his cultivation, of course he would not reveal the cultivation of the God King just because of a divine crystal. He took back the power of his soul, nodded thoughtfully, took out a divine crystal and handed it to guard, and then strode into Haozhou City.

As soon as we entered the city, a wave of noise hit us.

"It's so lively! So many people!"

Li Huai walked forward slowly, looking at everything around him. Although the streets were very wide, there was a lot of people, so they seemed a little crowded. Haozhou City is the largest city in Haozhou, and here is the entire city. The continent has the best resources, so high-level gods with a little money are willing to come here to buy suitable things. Because the place is large, there are more people buying and selling various things, whether it is buying or selling things. There are unified regulations, so you generally can’t suffer!

There are also many trading shops in the city, selling artifacts, elixirs, and various refining materials. There are also many places for entertainment and play. Li Huai even saw gambling houses, etc., and of course the gladiatorial arena. , products like auction houses are also indispensable!

"Such a prosperous city, but it's said that it can't collect enough taxes from the family. The daily entrance fee alone is probably several hundred million in God Crystals! It seems that this state lord is really problematic!" Li Huai thought to himself, with a playful expression on his face.

Every hundred years, the state cities under the family will pay taxes to the family. According to Li Huai's understanding, the taxes paid by each state city are different. The least tax paid by a state city is 10 trillion God Crystals. Although 10 trillion God Crystals sounds a lot, it is nothing for such a large state city.

But what is infuriating is that there are very few state cities that can pay the taxes stipulated by the family every hundred years, and Haozhou and Bozhou are one of the two cities that can't pay enough taxes!

As far as Li Huai knows, the family stipulates that the tax for Haozhou City is 15 trillion. In the past ten thousand years, among the one hundred tax payments, the most they paid was 12 trillion, and the least was only 6 trillion. They never met the standard!

This made Beitang Yaoyue, the head of the family, very angry, but such a large family is not controlled by her alone, so she can't do anything about these state cities for the time being, and can only make a blind eye.

Li Huai calculated that according to the flow of people in Haozhou City, the city entrance fee collected a day is at least 200 million, so the annual income is 73 billion divine crystals, so a hundred years is more than 700 billion divine crystals, this is just the state city, and there are hundreds of prefecture cities under the city, so the annual tax money, the city entrance fee alone is enough to pay the family's pre-tax, in addition to the city entrance fee, the family also has industries in the state city and prefecture city, and the gods also need to pay taxes when doing business in the city, so it is nonsense to say that they can't afford to pay taxes!

As for why they can't afford to pay taxes, you have to ask the rulers of Haozhou!

The ruler of a continent is called the state master. Under him, there are two people with slightly lower ranks than him, one is the governor of commerce, and the other is the general of the military department. One of them controls the commercial lifeline of the entire continent, and the other controls all the armies of the entire continent. As for the state master, although he does not control commerce and the army, the governor of commerce and the general of the military department must listen to him in name!

So these three people are the most powerful rulers of a continent and are called the three giants!

In addition to these three giants, there are also hundreds of city lords who are also small princes with relatively large independence. Among these people, there are also many forces from all sides, so it is too difficult to expect them to obey and pay enough taxes every time.

Now that Li Huai has become the master of two continents, the responsibility of paying taxes falls on him. The master's wife handed over both continents to him. If he can't even pay enough taxes, he has no face to see the master's wife.

This is why Li Huai came first and planned to make a secret visit. Presumably, the people of Haozhou and Bozhou would get the news of his coming and make sufficient preparations. If he came in advance, I believe he would be able to see many things that he could not see in the future!

Li Huai walked slowly in the city, sometimes entering the store to ask, and sometimes stopping two passers-by to ask for some information. As he got to know more, he became more angry. "It seems that the owner of the family also underestimated the income of a city!"

In the city, the rent paid for an ordinary store in a hundred years is calculated in tens of millions. How many stores does a city of more than 100,000 square miles have? Then how much is the rent? This is definitely an astronomical figure. Of course, there are all kinds of houses in the city, which is another huge income. There are also items traded in the exchange. The city lord will collect 10% of the tax, which is another huge income. Therefore, the tax money of 15 trillion divine crystals in a hundred years is too little!

Li Huai found an inn in the city and lived there. He paid a month's rent. He planned to investigate and find out some things in this month!

In a blink of an eye, Li Huai has been in Haozhou City for ten days. During these ten days, he has traveled all over Haozhou City and found many problems that made him angry, but he has not taken action. To solve the problems of Haozhou, killing a few people is not enough.

The ruling class of the entire Haozhou City fights each other and seizes the family's property. It is just like a store worth hundreds of millions of yuan in the family. The ruling class can buy the store at a very low price by selling it at a low price, and then sell it at a high price!

There are countless such things. Now these two states are his property. What they do is to steal his things openly. How can he not be angry?
