Chapter 1786 Catching Fire

A group of people who were waiting to watch the excitement did not see the excitement, but they waited for their own troubles.

This group of people came with bad intentions, and they had to check the accounts as soon as they exited.

Long Fei asked Bai Fengling to find out that the cities of Immortal King had to hand in offerings to Jiutian City every year.

Unless it's the kind of place that doesn't care, there is also the holy land of Yaochi and the territory of Guanghan Palace.

As long as it is a city under the protection of Nine Heavens City, a certain amount of profit must be handed over every year.

This is the same as taxation in the secular world, each place has its own standard.

Usually every once in a while, someone from above will be sent down to inspect the ledger.

Every city lord has selfish intentions, and every year the offerings are handed in, there will always be someone who will steal and play tricks and play tricks inside.

Looking at Ye Qingtian's frowning face, Long Fei would not believe anyone if his hands and feet were clean.

He took the patriarchs of the families and left in a hurry.

Here, the tax showdown is given to the city lord, and the city lord gives the tax showdown to the families, and everyone lives together.

If there is tampering inside, all the families must be involved.

Once they left, there would be no one left to eat the engagement banquet.

The people who were waiting to see Long Fei's joke just now left one by one with frowning faces.

In the end, there were only Jiang family disciples left, sitting at the banquet at a loss.

All the people in charge of the family went to the city lord's mansion, leaving only a group of young disciples.

Long Fei gave instructions to everyone, "It's what you have to do, you have to eat. Everyone continue to drink, and no one can leave until the meal is finished."

He is now the most prestigious person in the younger generation, and no one dares to leave when he makes dinner.

Long Fei asked people to call Wu Ma, Su Yiyi and Xiaonuan over to eat together.

The three of them were originally of low status and were not allowed to attend the table.

Now that everyone is gone, Long Fei has the final say.

After they came, Long Fei's uncle Jiang Xinghe rushed back.

He and others were outside the city to welcome the emissary just now, who knew that his own people hadn't waited to come back, but a group of murderous strangers had arrived.

As soon as he entered the door, he straightened his face. Seeing a group of disciples still eating, he immediately shouted, "You foodies, when are you still drinking? Pack up your things immediately and prepare to wait for the patriarch's order."

Everyone looked at Long Fei.

Long Fei stood up, stared at his uncle and said softly, "Today is my engagement banquet, others can leave, but why should my brother leave? I haven't even finished the meal, can it be done?"

Jiang Xinghe stared at Long Fei with a cramped face, thinking how this kid is so lucky.

It was originally agreed above that the senior brother of the city lord came down to check the accounts, and Zhang Xingyun, the genius of the Zhang family, was also there.

Who knows, it means changing players.

He snorted in a deep voice, "Your engagement banquet is more important, or is the life of our Jiang family more important?"

Long Fei said seriously, "I haven't done anything wrong, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Uncle's being so nervous, doesn't it make people see something? If we haven't done anything wrong, why should we be afraid of them?"

"you……"

Jiang Xinghe was so blocked by him that he couldn't speak, pointed at him and trembled angrily, "Okay, okay, your wings are stiff, I'll deal with you when your grandpa comes back."

He went to call his wife and went back to the backyard to see his son.

A group of disciples of the direct bloodline left with him, leaving only Long Fei and a group of collateral bloodlines sitting together and eating the food and wine on the table.

After everyone dispersed, someone from the Bai family came and called Bai Fengling back.

The servants cleaned up the tables and chairs, and the engagement banquet, which was originally lively, was hastily done.

Long Fei took Su Yiyi and Xiaonuan back to his courtyard, and sat outside with Jiang Hengshuo to drink tea.

Jiang Hengshuo said cautiously, "Brother, although you escaped a catastrophe this time, those people came with bad intentions, and our Jiang family may not be able to escape this catastrophe."

Long Fei asked curiously, "Did our Jiang family do something wrong?"

Jiang Hengshuo suppressed his voice and said, "Tianxuan City, one counts as one, and which family doesn't do anything? Every year the upper management checks the accounts. It's just a formality. This time it's not like it, it seems to be serious!"

Long Fei was drinking tea, thinking about how to take advantage of the situation.

Who knew, in the direction of the Lord's Mansion of Tianxuan City, a black smoke shot straight into the sky suddenly lit up.

After a while, someone came to report that the accountant of the city lord's mansion caught fire.

The fire was so intense that it burned down the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Long Fei and Jiang Hengshuo looked at each other, and told Su Yiyi and Xiao Nannan to stay at home, and the two of them ran over to watch the fun. ,
The front of the City Lord's Mansion was already full of people, people from the city defense battalion and servants of the City Lord's Mansion came in and out, anxious to put out the fire inside.

After a while, Qiuran Fairy and Shengbi Scholar rushed over with their people, staring at the front and shouting, "Damn it, I will catch fire as soon as I check the accounts, are you playing me like a monkey?"

The sound shook the sky, shaking the hall in front of the house.

The Holy Pen Scholar raised his hand and took out a golden writing brush, pointing it down in the air.

Over the City Lord's Mansion, heavy rain suddenly fell.

The heavy rain poured down, and the raging fire was brought under control in a short while.

The city lord, Ye Qingtian, soon showed up, covered in soot, and apologized to the two, "I'm sorry, the emissary. Look, the subordinates are clumsy and incompetent, so they set the accountant on fire. Don't worry, I have already had some account books salvaged, and I will definitely not delay your checking of the accounts."

"City Master Ye, do you really think we are fools? Your account room doesn't catch fire sooner or later, but why did it catch fire when we were checking the accounts?"

Qiuranxian stared, and the murderous aura overflowed from his body.

Ye Qingtian's aura did not give in, and also overflowed with the coercion of the transformation of the gods. He cupped his fists and said to Qiuran, "The fairy envoy, it happened by chance, and I don't want to do this. The fairy envoy feels strange, so I have nothing to say .”

"Ye Qingtian!"

Qiu Ranxian glared and drank, "Don't think that you have the backing of the Ye family in Nine Heavens City, so you can act presumptuously in front of me. I tell you, this audit is from the top, no matter which family is going to stop it. I'm in the city. Yingkelou is waiting for you, if you dare to lose one account book, I will punish you right away!"

With a threat, he took the holy pen and the scholar turned away.

Ye Qingtian's face changed again and again, and he turned his head and cursed at a group of subordinates, "What are you looking at, why don't you rush to put out the fire? A group of idiots, why are you so careless?"

Everyone dispersed immediately, and no one dared to join in the fun.

The corners of Long Fei's mouth curled up, and he had a plan in mind.

Profound Sky City is definitely not in a hurry, any fool can come out.

This Ye Qingtian probably reneged on his debt.

He dared to burn down the accountant's house, probably because he had a backer in Jiutian City, so Qiu Ranxian would not dare to touch him.

After finishing the matter, he will do good to Qiuran Fairy.

This matter can be turned into a small matter, and a small matter can be turned into nothing.

Qiuranxian made such a big fuss, definitely not to vent his anger on the city lord.

He did this only for money.

Otherwise, he would have gotten into a fight with Ye Qingtian a long time ago, and he wouldn't be talking so much here.

What Long Fei had to do was to make the fire bigger.

At that time, the conflict between the two parties will be completely irreconcilable.

As long as there is a fight, he can benefit from it.
