reborn as emperor

Chapter 36 35. Black Market Auction

"You can't kill me!"

Zhou Long said in a panic, he is not a warrior, seeing Yang Mucheng kill someone with a flick of his finger, this scene was simply shocking.

"Why?" Yang Mucheng asked lightly.

"My Zhou family is rich! If you dare to kill me, my Zhou family will issue an arrest warrant, leaving you with nowhere to go in the Dagan country! Even if you are not afraid, you always have family, and there is always someone you care about." People!" Zhou Long looked at Yang Mucheng, and hurriedly said: "If you let me go, I will give you money, a large sum of money!"

"Money? How much can you give me?" Yang Mucheng asked with a half-smile.

"3 taels of silver!" Zhou Long gritted his teeth and said, "This is the annual tax revenue of the Dagan Kingdom!"

Oh?
Yang Mucheng immediately became interested.He only knew that the Zhou family was rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich. "It seems that I have to investigate the Zhou family and find out the source of his so much money. If it is really a business income, then forget it. If there is black money in it, don't blame me for being rude!"

Thinking of this, Yang Mucheng looked at Zhou Long and shook his head. "No, I will take your Zhou family's money..."

what?
Zhou Long was startled, but before he could react, he saw Yang Mucheng flick his right hand again.

boom!
Zhou Long's head burst on the spot.

Killing dozens of people with a snap of his fingers, Yang Mucheng walked out of Tianxiang Tower with his hands behind his back as if nothing happened, leaving only a mess inside Tianxiang Tower.

Lu Yaoer followed Yang Mucheng obediently like a shadow.

Walking out of Tianxiang Building, Yang Mucheng took out a token from his pocket, handed it to Lu Yaoer and said, "You go back to the palace first, and bring this token to find Ye Wuheng. Let him secretly check Zhou's house...I remember, Zhou The family was just an ordinary small merchant a few decades ago, but it can develop to such a scale in 30 to 3 years. It is absolutely impossible to take out [-] taels of silver with a casual opening. .

If Ye Wuheng finds out something, let him take the imperial guards directly to Zhou's house. "

"Yes, young master!" Lu Yao'er nodded and said, "Young man, don't you want to go back to the palace with me?"

Shaking his head, Yang Mucheng said, "I'm not going back. I'm mainly going out for a while. I haven't fully understood the folk affairs. How could I just go back like this?"

After speaking, the two parted ways in front of Tianxiang Tower.

This turn, actually let Yang Mucheng know a lot of things.

For example, the Zhou family hoarded grain and grass during the harvest season, and then waited until the famine to raise the price of grain to earn black-hearted money.

For example, the Zhou family colluded with officials and businessmen...

One more thing is the black market!

"Is it a black market?"

"I want to see how many things I don't know about your Zhou family hiding!"

Thinking of this, Yang Mucheng walked towards the black market.

Along the way, he got a lot of news about the black market. This black market attracted not only people from the imperial city, but also other cities in the Dagan Kingdom.There is an auction house here, and almost all the best treasures in the country are concentrated here.

The slogan of this black market is even more - as long as you have money, you can live like an emperor!

"With just these words, I can crush your Zhou family!"

"Your Excellency, what can I do for you in the black market?" A guard was in charge of reception.

"I want to participate in the auction!" Yang Mucheng said.

"Your Excellency, this is the first time you come to the auction, what proof do you have? Weapons, martial arts, pills..." the waiter said.

"How about this?" Yang Mucheng took out the Guandao obtained by killing Zhang Jiyuan from the storage bag.

"A low-grade weapon of the spiritual rank?" A trace of astonishment flashed in the waiter's eyes.In the black market, there are indeed many items that will be auctioned, but most of them are treasures that have not yet entered the grade.It's astonishing that this young man took out a low-grade weapon of the spiritual rank so easily.

"Your Excellency is really generous. Coincidentally, there will be an auction of a magic weapon in the black market today..." the waiter said.

Is it a magic weapon?
Yang Mucheng nodded secretly. Originally, he just wanted to visit the black market, but he didn't expect to hear the news. It was indeed a worthwhile trip to come here this time.

I don't know what kind of magic weapon it is.

The entire black market presents a ring shape, surrounding the central auction room, rows of chairs are in a trapezoidal upward direction.Just as Yang Mucheng found a place to sit down, Ye Wuhen sneaked in.

"Your Majesty, I found it!" Ye Wuheng said in a low voice, "Your prediction is indeed correct, what the Zhou family did was indeed not legal... Daqian law strictly prohibits the sale of minerals to foreign countries, but the Zhou family did so. And, they have something to do with Goryeo..."

Yang Mucheng asked in a deep voice, "Is the news true?"

"Naturally! There is an account book in the prime minister's mansion, which records all the transactions between Huo Yan and the Zhou family. It not only contains all kinds of treasures, but also a large number of mines. In addition, the Zhou family and many bandits also keep Quite a close relationship. The property stolen by the bandits will be laundered by the Zhou family..."

"One year's profit of the entire Zhou family is equivalent to ten years' tax revenue of the Dagan Kingdom!"

"The Zhou family's crimes this time are quite serious. Collusion between government and businessmen, violation of the law, collusion with the enemy country, collusion with bandits...every one of them is an unforgivable crime!"

Yang Mucheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

His inadvertent act of private visit this time really caught a moth hidden in the dark. "Hmph, it seems that the Zhou family can't stay anymore! Eat things crawling inside and out!"

"Your Majesty, the three hundred imperial guards are already on standby in secret. As long as you give an order, they will rush in immediately." Ye Wuheng said.

"Don't worry!" Yang Mucheng waved his hand and said in a low voice, "I want to see what kind of magic weapon the Zhou family has brought... After that magic weapon is in hand, it's not too late to do it!"

While Yang Mucheng was discussing with Ye Wuheng.

The news of Zhou Long's death also reached Zhou Xianming's ears!

"What? Someone dared to kill my son?" Zhou Xianming was furious.

"My lord, the person who killed the young master is a warrior with inner strength. Moreover, he has sneaked into the black market to participate in this auction!" A servant said respectfully.

"Okay, what audacity! My son dares to kill him, but this time even the Emperor and I can't keep him!"

There was a chill in Zhou Xianming's eyes.He turned his eyes, looked at a rickety old man beside him, and said respectfully: "Master Jian Wushuang, it seems that you need to take action this time. The opponent can kill Zhou Long, and even so many warriors can't stop him. I'm afraid that the cultivation base has reached the perfection of inner strength!"

"A martial artist with perfect internal strength is also worthy of my master? I can do it!" Beside the old man, a boy in black said disdainfully. "Whoever he is, kill him with one sword!"
