Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 441

Zhongli and the traveler entered the Yiyan Palace, while Famas returned to Feiyunpo from Yujing Terrace, and came to a tea room with a signboard "on the rock" as if strolling.

Yanshang Tea Room is located on the edge of Chihuyan, in Liyue Port where every inch of land is expensive, and occupies a golden location across the bank from Feiyunpo. The decoration is quite elegant and elegant.

However, although this place is only across the street from the lively Chihuyan Snack Street, it is deserted and rarely seen, showing an attitude of not coming to love and having a high threshold.

As we all know, Liyue is a well-known tea-producing holy land in the mainland. The people in Liyue are addicted to tea, and the degree is no less than the preference for wine in the wine tanks of the Mond people.

There are many varieties of Liyue tea. According to the place of origin, they can be divided into two schools, North and South, and many categories. Among them, Tianheng Yangu, Yunlai Baihao, and Qingceluohong are all well-known and well-known teas. , pay attention to a lot.

If you want to make a living in the tea business in Liyue, it is definitely not something ordinary ordinary people can do.

And at night, Yanshang Tea House will show another face - the largest underground gambling house in Liyue Port.

Liyue's law strictly prohibits gambling property, and setting up a private gambling shop is even more serious. Once convicted, one will face several years of imprisonment.

But even so, Yanshang Tea House still dared to open a gambling house under Qixing's nose, not only because the boss behind the scene had a strong background, but more importantly, the law always had loopholes to exploit.

It is precisely because Liyue's law only stipulates that "gambling property" is a crime, so in other words, as long as there is no direct acquisition of money, it cannot be convicted.

Substitutes such as jackpots, chips, gift certificates, etc. came into being. These things themselves have no value, but they can be replaced as property in a flexible way.

As a legislator, Ning Guang naturally knew to seal this loophole, but the game of interests involved in it needed to be handled carefully, otherwise the ban on gambling would fail, and unnecessary troubles would be involved instead.

In other words, allowing certain gray parts to exist properly is a necessary condition for a country to survive for a long time.

History has proved that there will always be omissions in human governance, and it will never be possible to reach the height of gods. Today, Liyue Port has not become a Datong rule of the world, and there are still people who violate laws and regulations.

But perhaps because of the absolute and strong deterrence of the Emperor Yan standing behind the human regime, there has never been any major chaos.

This situation lasted until half a month ago, and then, the world changed, and this absolute deterrent quietly disappeared.

It was after such chaos that Yelan returned to Liyue Port from another country.

In order to investigate a major case related to the executive officers of the Fools, she has been lurking outside for a long time. On the eve of closing the net, Yelan received a message from the informant stationed in Liyue Port at any cost, saying that the emperor was assassinated and the prisoner absconded. Immortals overwhelm the city, and the souls of the dead take revenge.

In a few words, the amount of information conveyed was shocking. Ye Lan simply estimated the time it would take to return to Liyue Port, and knew that she would not be able to catch up anyway.

Based on her understanding of the current Seven Stars, Ye Lan can be sure that the assassination of the emperor will never be done by Ningguang.

Ning Guang, a woman who started from scratch, got to where she is today with amazing wisdom, courage and good luck that are rare in a century. If she wants to weaken the emperor's influence in Liyue, there is no need to use such extreme methods at all.

Even if Ningguang really wants to do this, she will not put the most critical part under the table, and if this is a conspiracy against Ningguang, the purpose is to make Liyue change the day, then Going back at this time is undoubtedly throwing oneself into a trap.

As a dark child, the power available to her is unable to compete head-on with any other force. Once exposed, it will lose all its effects.It's better to deal with Zheng in advance. If Ningguang is really defeated, at least the enemy is open and the enemy is dark, so that they don't even know who the person who did it is.

Facts have proved that her choice is very correct.

Just when Yelan completed the task as planned and returned to Liyue Port during the starry night, Ningguang had already announced the beginning of a new era as a victor.

In contrast, cleaning up the mess in Yanshang Teahouse was purely a matter of convenience, not even a warm-up.

Previously, the former owner of Yanshang Tea House and Beiguo Bank had their own secrets and signed many mysterious contracts. Both sides were fully prepared to blackmail each other at any time.

As a result, the Beiguo Bank had just begun to liquidate, when the Qunyu Pavilion incident broke out, giving Yujingtai an excellent handle, and most of the foolish diplomats had to evacuate from Liyue Port overnight.

Beiguo Bank can't tell the hardships. The Qunyu Pavilion incident turned the early layout of many fools into waste paper overnight, but it happened to be a game among high-level officials.

In order not to let more vital forces fall into the bottomless pit of [Oser Project], the executive officers other than Dadalia and dozens of envoys from the Winter Kingdom had to swallow their anger and escape from Liyue in despair.

In the end, Yelan only paid a small price and even put on a signboard to take over the property. As for whether this will lead to a few percentage points higher in the bad debt rate of Beiguo Bank's quarterly report, that's beyond her control .

Anyway, the rich executive officer in charge of Beiguo Bank claimed that his wealth can buy the entire land of Liyue Port to repair thatched cottages. If you want to come to such a rich and powerful person, you will not care about the gains and losses of tens of millions of moras. of.

However, Ye Lan, who was about to go on vacation, had not had time to figure out the bad debts left by her previous boss, so she got several unbelievable pieces of information from Tianquan Ningguang, who is currently famous and powerful in Yujingtai. :

"The instigator of [Scorching Sun Cracks the Port], the "Lord of War" Harpas has not left Liyue, but now we have no way to restrain him. We must keep a safe distance from him and withdraw all surveillance personnel. "

"The Ninth Executive Officer of the Fools, "The Rich" Pantalone will arrive in Liyue by boat in a few days to discuss the war compensation. "

"Because this is an unofficial business visit, and a rich man is here as the head of the North Country Bank, there is no reason for Seven Stars to refuse entry to Liyue."

"Let me deal with the game on the surface, but I need to trouble you to pay more attention to the messy things in the dark..."

Sitting at the fortune-telling booth on the pier, Ye Lan, dressed in disguise, recalled Ning Guang's original words, frowning from time to time, and occasionally stroking the blue water jadeite bracelet on her right wrist, then lightly rolled up her sleeves, and the bracelet disappeared like a magic trick .

In Liyue today, only the South Wharf is able to handle goods normally, and merchant ships from Sumeru, Mond, and even Zhidong Kingdom have to squeeze in and out of the port at the same wharf.

Without the deterrence of the Emperor Yanwang, many chambers of commerce and chaebols who already had old grudges took the opportunity to use shady means to suppress the normal commercial and trade behavior of other forces.

Thieves, smugglers, bounty hunters, smugglers from rice wives... At this time, fish and dragons were mixed at Liyue South Wharf. The HNA flags of the major fleets were fluttering in the wind, and the Qianyan Army with long guns was constantly patrolling the port. The administrators Jiang Zhou and Xiao An are very busy.

Along with the fleet into Liyue Port, apart from a large amount of cargo, there were also a few unremarkable ships from the Zhiwinter Kingdom.

A handsome, dignified, curly-haired banker wearing gold half-rim glasses walked from the cabin to the deck.

The gray-haired old butler and the dignified lady with the mirror followed each other step by step.

Even when he saw such a bustling Liyue Wharf, the banker's eyes were still as indifferent as the snow covered thousands of miles in the north, staring at the country that had rejected him without joy or sorrow.

"Master, shall we go to Beiguo Bank first?"

Russell bowed to lead the way for Pantalone, while the smiling banker nodded thoughtfully, then turned to look at Irina beside him.

The Tibetan lady also wears a Liyue-style azure bracelet on her wrist, which matches her winter snow-like dress quite well.

"Of course, we have to clean up the mess of the last one first."

"However, Irina, you have to be careful about those Liyue mice you met last time..."

"They may be quite interested in the [You Qi Wristband] in your hand."

The afternoon sun slanted into the bustling pier, and Pantalone's face seemed to be full of nostalgia. His long black curly hair was like waves, and the golden afterglow floated, which contrasted more and more with the dimness of the light gold frame in the shade.

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will keep your gift close to me."

The silk cloth covered Irina's eyes, her figure was graceful and upright, but her tone was still as cold as frost: "Those who try to steal...will be punished."
