Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 73 The situation in the city
Hearing Lei Xiao's straightforward question, Kunbu's fat hand holding the teacup couldn't help but freeze.

You know, in this city, for ordinary people like them, the city lord is the absolute ruler.

While being terrified in his heart, Kunbu looked at Lei Xiao's unscrupulous and indifferent expression, and his beating heart couldn't help calming down a bit, and there was an uncontrollable reverence in his eyes again.

"It seems that the young adult in front of me has a really complicated background."

Thinking of this, Kumbu regained his composure, only to see him grit his teeth and simply tell what he knew.

"That's right, my lord, just as you imagined, the reputation of the city owner of Kongqing Town is indeed not very good, and it can even be said to be very bad. It all started a few years ago..."

Through Kumbu's description, Lei Xiao learned about it.

It turned out that Kongqing Town a few years ago was just a little-known town, and it hadn't reached the huge city scale it is today.

The reason why it developed so quickly was because the current city lord not only overhauled the roads connecting the surrounding areas, but also used extremely favorable, even reverse-discounted investment promotion measures.

In a short period of time, it quickly attracted a large number of merchants from the surrounding area to set up shop here.

Wait until the size of the city expands to a certain extent.

Only then did the current city lord regain his true colors, and began to intensify his extraction.

Since the trade network in the surrounding area has been formed, plus many businessmen, they all come to settle here with their families.

Therefore, although the income has decreased significantly compared with before, the emphasis should be on stability and relative safety.

Therefore, the vast majority of people still chose to stay in this Kongqing Town.

Hearing what Kumbu said, Lei Xiao couldn't help curling his lips, and thought to himself: "Good guy, this city owner is probably not a third-level nine-star farmer, he can harvest a lot of leeks."

In front of Lei Xiao, I saw Kunbu swallowed a mouthful of spittle, and continued: "To tell the truth, my lord, such a move naturally aroused great indignation among us businessmen."

"Before the villain, the former presidents of the chamber of commerce in the city had consulted with the city lord more than once because of this matter."

"In the end, apart from nothing, even the previous presidents of the chamber of commerce and their families all disappeared mysteriously and disappeared in this city forever."

Speaking of this, a trace of uncontrollable fear suddenly appeared on Kunbu's fat face, and he continued: "On the eve of each disappearance, someone saw the blood scorpion mercenary group haunting around."

"It seems that the city lord is also a ruthless character, and the reason why the blood scorpion mercenary group is so rampant here has been found."

After listening to Kunbu's words, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

After a while, Lei Xiao seemed to inadvertently asked again: "So, now you businessmen in the city are still very dissatisfied with the city lord?"

"My lord, I don't want to talk about it casually. If it doesn't work out, I will..."

Kumbu rolled his eyes, and hastily gestured to wipe his neck.

Then, Kunbu moved closer, and whispered cautiously to Lei Xiao, "Master, in fact, not only us businessmen, but even the people in the city complained to the Lord Lord."

"One, it's because the villain just said that he condoned the behavior of the Blood Scorpion mercenary group bullying men and women."

"Secondly, compared to other cities, the city lord is also very cunning about oppressing civilians. He also calls it to better strengthen the city and protect the city."

Seeing the bitter-faced Kunbu, he shook his head and sighed, "Actually, apart from the confidants of the city lord and the small number of personal guards, the treatment of ordinary soldiers here is also much worse than that in other cities."

"understood."

Lei Xiao thought for a while, and then asked again: "Except for the Blood Scorpion Mercenary Group, other mercenary forces also have the same dissatisfaction with the City Lord?"

"Returning to my lord, that's exactly the case. The Blood Scorpion Mercenary Group is even more merciless to these colleagues."

Kumbu sighed again, and responded: "Sometimes, for a commissioned task, we fight on the spot, which often causes other mercenary groups to be killed or injured. It can be said that it is all too familiar.”

"Then what is the relationship between Shanglu Fair and the city lord?"

Lei Xiao tapped the table with his fingers, and asked again.

"The villain is not too clear about the specific situation."

Kunbu shook his head, and said frankly: "The Shanglu Fair has a strong background, rich and powerful, and rarely interacts with ordinary businessmen like us, but I heard that the city lord has always favored the young president of the Shanglu Fair. Plus, they wanted to take it as their own, but they were all rejected by the other party."

"Favorites, take it for yourself?"

In Lei Xiao's mind, a philosophical atmosphere pervading from Gensokyo immediately appeared.

Afterwards, Lei Xiao quickly shook his head, dismissed the image of hot eyes from his thoughts, and said immediately: "So, the young president of the Shanglu family branch should be a woman, right?"

"exactly."

Kunbu nodded, carefully put the newly boiled pot of hot water aside, and said: "The villain has been fortunate enough to meet the young president of the Shanglu family several times, and he is indeed an extraordinary person. man of."

"understood."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, then stood up, smiled lightly and said, "Okay, that's all for today, thank you for the market information you provided."

"Where is it, sir, you are too polite."

Kumbu quickly stood up and said flatteringly, "I wonder if my lord has already found a place to stay? I happen to know a good place with excellent environment and service..."

"No need."

Lei Xiao waved his hand, as if thinking of something, he added: "By the way, the potion from last time, I don't know if your Excellency still has it in stock?"

"I'm really sorry, my lord. The villain only has one, and it was brought back from Yehe Town at the other end of the forest."

Kunbu shook his head helplessly, and replied: "Your Excellency must also know that precious things like potions usually don't appear in remote towns like Kongqing Town, so please don't be offended."

"It's okay, help me pay attention to this information, I believe we will meet again in a short time."

Lei Xiao patted the fat shoulder of the other party, put on the cloak hat, and walked out of the back room of the shop with the knotweed stick.

Under the respectful watch of Kumbu and the shop assistants, he returned to the flow of people on the street.

Next, when the two passed through a street with few people, the knotweed who had been silent on the side finally couldn't help asking: "My lord, the small business you just mentioned, is it possible to capture this city?" Kongqing Town, right?"
