C1489 Break Your Grain
Ye Fan smiled. He was very satisfied with their examination.
Yan Liang felt confident in his heart and continued, "But please rest assured, my lord. I will continue the examination. I will try to get those three men in black to confess."
"Good. This matter is done well! You didn't rest well yesterday, right? Hurry up and go rest."
" Yes, my lord. "
Yan Liang left.
Tian Yu slowly said, "Are we going to investigate the whereabouts of the man in black?"
"No!"
Ye Fan stood up slowly with his hands behind his back.
"We have no clue about the man in black. The reckless investigation is like finding a needle in a haystack."
"They failed to assassinate me yesterday. They must have thought of other ways out of anger. Let's wait for them to deliver themselves to us."
The matter of Ye Fan's fair judgment continued to ferment.
There was no one in the hundreds of thousands of people in Chi Feng City who didn't know about this.
After all, the An family's young master had been beaten to a pulp, and the impact of almost being beaten to death was too great for them.
In just a few short days.
Chi Feng City had recovered quite a bit.
The hawkers at the small stalls also started to increase.
The markets also started to open one after another, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
With such a city lord, who would dare to act rashly in the city?
"The city lord is really good. He makes the decision for us ordinary little demons. He doesn't even fear the nobles."
"Scared? Hehe, with the courage of the City Lord, why would he be afraid of them? No one dares to provoke me now. If anyone dares to provoke me, I'll sue them. "
" Don't be so full of yourself. I heard that the An family has already gathered the tyrants for a meeting. Who knows what kind of mischief they might cause. "
"Sigh, I hope our Chi Feng City can continue to develop well."
"City Lord, you must hold on."
For some reason.
Ye Fan had accumulated a lot of expectations.
At this moment, he was listening to Yan Liang's report.
After a few days of hard work.
The black clothed men that were captured finally confessed. They were bandits on Black Pine Mountain that was sixty kilometers away from the city, and they occupied the mountain as their king. They'd occupied the mountain for many years, and their business was to burn, kill, and plunder in Xuanyuan City and Chi Feng City, causing them to be notorious.
However, because the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the two cities had been annihilated many times.
Yan Liang said, "City Lord, if we can wipe out the bandits, it will be a great achievement for the people, and it will also be a great benefit."
"Sigh, it's just that the difficulty is too great. The previous few city lords who came all killed the mountain bandits, but they all returned in defeat."
Ye Fan smiled slightly. "If I want to destroy the mountain bandits, I naturally have a way, but when it comes to dealing with external enemies, I must first settle internal conflicts. The internal problems in Chi Feng City have not been resolved yet, and internal conflicts and external problems have yet to be resolved. Let this matter be put on hold for now."
"Furthermore, we have captured their people. Perhaps they will deliver themselves to us."
...
The current situation in Chi Feng City seemed to be great, but it felt as though a storm was brewing.
At this moment.
The An family's Hall of Understanding was filled with people.
An Li sat in the center of the hall. Several middle-aged men sat on both sides of a large table.
They came from all directions of Chi Feng City, and they were famous nobles.
"Master An, may I know why you called us here this time?" Cui Yan of the Cui Family spoke slowly.
An Li ordered his men to stop beating around the bush when they arrived. Instead, he extended two fingers.
"Two things. Firstly, everyone should have heard about the matter of Chi Feng City's City Lord descending from the sky, right?"
Cui Yan nodded: "I heard, it seems to be a fair and just person!"
"And then?"
An Liming narrowed his eyes and asked.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. None of them had any intention of replying.
This was a bolt of lightning!
Ye Fan had hit An Tairan, and with his personality, he would definitely take revenge.
But this was your family's matter.
No one wanted to get involved.
"I don't know much about the rest."
"Hmph! Do you not understand, or do you not want to say?"
An Liming said coldly, "Today, I will tell you all clearly that I want to kill Ye Fan, or I will let him get out of Chi Feng City."
"What?"
Everyone's faces were filled with shock.
"Master An, you must not! No matter what, Ye Fan was still the master of a city. If he suddenly died, it would definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups. At that time, it would not be a good ending. "
"That's right. This matter can't be hidden at all. As long as we investigate it, we will be able to find out about it."
Looking at how cowardly everyone was, An Liming was infuriated.
"How can there be an egg under a cave-in!? Do you all think that Ye Fan won't dare to hit your son just because he dared to hit my son?!"
"This is because you didn't offend him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let you off so easily."
"Moreover, if I fall, the business in your hands won't be easy to do."
When it came to business, everyone's expressions were shocked.
Their businesses in Chi Feng City were virtually monopolized.
Every industry and industry was under his control.
However, the profits of daily necessities were very small, and the money they earned was not enough to satisfy everyone's desires.
Thus, they came into contact with some illegal items - the Blood Addiction Pill.
This pill was even stricter than the ancient private salt discipline. It was extremely harmful to the body of demons, and it was forever prohibited from being sold on the market.
However, because the taste was extremely delicious, many people liked to eat it, and many demons were willing to spend money to buy it.
And the source of this Blood Addiction Pill was An Li's life.
No one dared to easily offend him and give up such a big piece of cake.
The key was that many family heads also liked to eat Blood Addiction Pills, so they couldn't give up.
Cui Yan was a relatively younger generation family head, and was extremely bold.
Immediately, he clapped his hands and said, "Patriarch An, how do you think we should deal with Ye Fan?"
"Hehe, wouldn't it have been fine if we had said so earlier? What about you guys? Who else disagreed? "
Everyone shook their heads. "We all agree to deal with Ye Fan."
"That's right. This brat is too arrogant. He doesn't even put us in his eyes."
"Patriarch An, just tell us how to deal with him. We will definitely work together!"
An Linming was very satisfied with the current situation. He chuckled and said, "It's very simple. Didn't Ye Fan want to wipe out Chi Feng City? Didn't he win the hearts of the people? However, I am not as good as him. "
" Let the hearts of the people hurt him, let him know the consequences of going against me "
"I want him to become my dog, and from now on, he will be my servant."
" Oh? You have a good idea?"
"That's right."
An Li continued: "We don't need to do any business for the next few days, just stock up the food and daily necessities"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Lord An, are you going to cut off the livelihood of the people and cause them to start a riot? This move is too powerful." Cui Yan gave him a thumbs up.
"Hmph, the food in Demon Realm is already scarce, and the people of Chi Feng City are poor. They don't have the money to stockpile food. I estimate that they will starve in a few days. At that time, I will send some men to help. They will naturally look for Ye Fan to ask for food. I want to see what he will use as food."
"It's just that you have to stand by my side. If anyone opens the gate and lets food out, they will be making things difficult for me!"
Everyone quickly agreed. "Don't worry, we have been shut out for the past few days. We promise to cooperate with your plan."
"Right, that's right. Head of the An family, what's the second thing you just said?"
An Li smiled mysteriously. "The Black Pine Mountain Bandits have recently refined a batch of good goods and are preparing to share them with everyone."
"Or do you want to trade at the same place?"1
"That's right!"
" That's great! Thank you, Patriarch An, for your advice! "
