C606

Tang Yin looked at the indignant Cao Hai and burst out into laughter. He said faintly: "It looks like, you didn't come here to drink with me today, but purposely came here to anger me!"

Cao Hai tit for tat said: "In the Hedong, there is only one King, but that King is definitely not you, Feng King!"

"Hehe, who is it?"

"King Ning!"

"Ha ha ? ?" Tang Yin laughed out loud, but following that, he stopped himself from laughing, and said sinisterly: "Since you are so loyal to the King Ning, then go and wait for him on the road!"

While speaking, Tang Yin suddenly waved his arm, and a cold light suddenly appeared, drawing a crescent moon arc in the air. At the same time, a Spirit Wave flew out, and under the circumstances that no one in the hall could react to, the Spirit Wave did not fly straight, and just happened to hit the center of Cao Hai's brows.

"Pu!" Following a short muffled sound, Cao Hai's body stiffened and he looked at Tang Yin with a dumbstruck expression. After a full second, half of his head slowly slid down, and his body fell onto the ground with blood and brain matter splattering all over the place.

"Huh?"

Wang Kai was stupefied on the spot. The other seven rich people were already trembling in fear, their faces deathly pale, their bodies covered with cold sweat.

Tang Yin did not even look at the others, the Scimitar he just pulled out had already been withdrawn, he raised his eyes and shouted towards the door: "Men!"

"What orders does the King have?" He had just finished her words when several guards ran over from the outside.

Tang Yin pointed to the corpse on the ground and said: "Drag him out."

"Yes!" "Great King!" The guards all rushed forward, dragging Cao Hai's body with them. As soon as they left, the servants on both sides hurried forward, each kneeling down, quickly wiping away the blood on the ground.

The blood could dry, but the stench of blood in the hall could not be removed. The scene of Cao Hai's tragic death was also frozen in everyone's mind, and could not be removed for a long time.

"Large... "Great King, have mercy ?" Deng Ping, Peng Ying, Zeng An, Xiao Qing, Tian Ma, Dong Jian, and Yuan Chu Nan tremblingly kneeled down at the same time. Their heads were pressed on the ground, not daring to raise them, much less look at Tang Yin.

Tang Yin looked around at the crowd, the killing intent on his face gradually disappearing, replacing it was a harmless and kind smile. He waved his hand, and said: "What are you all doing? "Hurry, wake up."

At this time, no one dared to get up. With a trembling voice, they said, "Your Majesty ?" We... "Prepare some silver tomorrow and send it over personally ?" Asking them to take out a hundred thousand silver was the same as cutting off their heart and flesh, but compared to their lives, a hundred thousand silver was nothing.

But what surprised them was that Tang Yin actually shook his head and said: "No need!"

"Your Majesty ?" "You ?"

Tang Yin smiled as he lifted his wine cup and said softly, "Making each of you take out a hundred thousand silver taels is just a test to see how loyal you are to Feng Country and to me. In the end, I discovered that Cao Hai is a thief who is trying to seduce me. Master Wang? "

When Wang Kai heard Tang Yin's summons, he finally regained his senses, his heart felt like it was being twisted by a blade. Cao Hai originally did not want to come, but he had forcefully pulled him over, and in the end, it was all in vain. He had instead caused Cao Hai to lose his life, how could he bear such a heavy responsibility, and how could he report this to Cao Hai's family?

He took a step forward and cupped his hands in a mechanical salute towards Tang Yin, and asked with a hoarse voice: "Your majesty, your subject is here!"

Seeing Wang Kai who was forcefully enduring the pain, Tang Yin laughed in his heart, but his expression did not change, and he laughed: "For the family of the thief, do not be forgiven, Master Wang, personally make a trip, immediately bring people to Cao Hai's residence, capture all of his family members and send them to the prison, remember, do not let anyone escape, go!"

Wang Kai looked at Tang Yin in disbelief. He had already killed Cao Hai, was this not the end? Tang Yin did indeed plan to do so. He turned his head and asked: "Cheng Jin?"

"This official is here!"

Cheng Jin, who was standing at the side, quickly stepped forward and bowed. Tang Yin laughed: "You should follow Master Wang to help him. You must complete this task well."

"Yes!" "Great King!" Cheng Jin responded as he walked over to Wang Kai who was still in shock. He said expressionlessly: "Master Wang, let's go!"

Wang Kai still wanted to say something, but Cheng Jin had already grabbed his arm and forcefully dragged him out of the hall. Once they were outside, Cheng Jin moved his hand away and said slowly: "Master Wang, you have seen Cao Hai's performance just now, you have heard his words, such an immoral person, death is not enough, if you plead for him, you will undoubtedly find trouble and destroy your own future, Master Wang must think twice!"

Wang Kai was not afraid of death, but he could not die now, he had to save a useful body to save more lives. He took a deep breath and nodded, then bowed to Cheng Jin and said: "Thank you for your reminder, General Cheng."

Cheng Jin did not care so much about Wang Kai's life and death, he only thought that Wang Kai was a person that his own side had to cherish. If he were to start an argument with the King in front of the crowd, the King would probably kill him too, which would be a loss to his side.

After Cheng Jin brought Wang Kai away, Tang Yin looked at the seven extremely ugly faces of the rich and powerful, and chuckled: "Everyone, do not worry, as long as all of you are loyal and devoted to the strong gale, not only will I not harm you, I will also reward you heavily. You all do not have to take it seriously, but, in the future, other than paying taxes, it is also necessary for each of you to pay 100,000 stones worth of food every year. Lonely thought, this should be a piece of cake for everyone, right? "1

At that time, a tael of silver could buy four to eight stone worth of food. A hundred thousand stone worth of food was equivalent to ten to twenty thousand taels of silver. To the seven rich people, a food supply of 100,000 stones per year was nothing. Everyone looked at each other, kowtowing in unison, and said in unison, "I thank the King for her kindness!"

Compared to the one hundred thousand taels of silver, a hundred thousand stones of food was indeed several times less. Everyone heaved a long sigh of relief in their hearts. Tang Yin suddenly thought of something and waved towards Yuanwu who was behind him. Then he softly said: "Go on!"

"Yes sir!"

Shangguan Yuanwu replied as he took out a stack of official documents from his chest pocket, and then walked over to Deng Ping's group of seven. The seven rich people did not know what the hell was going on. After receiving the official documents, they did not dare to look closely. They just looked at Tang Yin in confusion.

The latter laughed and said: "This is the official passage that I personally sent. By relying on this, you all can freely enter the Tong Gate in the future. You should also know that right now, I am in a dire situation, with food shortages and high food prices, you can use the officials sent out by me to transport the food from Hedong inland. The profit from this is much higher than from selling food in the Ning Country! "

Ah?! They were all merchants, and were extremely sensitive to business opportunities. At this time, they could enter the Tong Gate to sell rations east, and the profits from that would be endless. In the past, when Feng Ning was at loggerheads, his Tong Gate had always been sealed, preventing people from entering or leaving. But now, Tang Yin actually gave him the order to enter or exit, it was simply too inconceivable. People could hardly believe it, and Deng Ping asked uncertainly, "My lord... the King allowed us to pass through the Tong Gate at any time, without any obstructions? "

"That's right!"

"We ?" We can enter the Feng Country ? "No, no, you can enter my windy hinterland to do business?" Deng Ping asked again.

"That's right." Tang Yin replied with a smile.

With Tang Yin's confirmation, everyone finally believed it to be true. The fear on the seven people's faces was swept away and was replaced with ecstasy.

He could freely enter and exit Feng Country to do business, and that would not only be selling food to earn money, but also selling many other things, the opportunities to do so were incalculable. More importantly, there were only seven clans that were allowed to enter Feng Country, with very few competitors, making it easier to obtain high profits.

"Little people... This lowly one thanks your majesty! " This time, everyone's gratitude was sincere, and their voices were much louder than before. If there was milk, there would be a mother. Since Tang Yin was able to provide them with the facilities and created good conditions for them to do business, their enmity and wariness towards Tang Yin would immediately be replaced by profits, and they would be willing to obey Tang Yin, willing to be controlled by him. At this time, everyone looked at Cao Hai, who had just been killed, with a great deal of disapproval in their hearts. Instead, they secretly ridiculed Cao Hai, going head to head with him, and in the end, didn't even get the chance to earn a lot of money.

How could they have known that the convenience Tang Yin had given them and the opportunity to earn benefits were all to appease and win them over, to stabilize the situation in the east of the river. Once the situation in the east was completely settled and the control over the east of the river had been deeply rooted, these big merchants of the Peace Kingdom would become the first targets of Tang Yin's persecution, and no matter how much money they earned in the country, they would only temporarily be kept in their own homes, unable to escape from Tang Yin's grasp.

Tang Yin hacked Cao Hai with his blade. It had the effect of killing chicken and honoring monkeys, and then, he used the Tong Gate's pass to please and win over these seven big merchants. This was the strategy of slapping them first, and then giving them a sweet date.

After this feast, from the mouths of the seven nobles, not a single word of dissatisfaction towards Tang Yin could be heard. It was the exact opposite, as they often praised Tang Yin in front of others that he was a capable, kind and benevolent Lord of the Enlightenment.

Their change in attitude had a huge impact on the Hedong Region, directly resulting in a large majority of the Ning people's impression of Tang Yin to change.

The people of Hedong were gradually accepting the fact that they were being ruled by Feng Country. In fact, their lives did not change much compared to before, but that did not mean that the voices that opposed Tang Yin, or opposed to Feng Country, disappeared just like that. In reality, under the calm surface of Hedong, their killing intent towards Tang Yin was everywhere.
