Chapter 161 The Position of Baron
"For the righteousness of the human race, on behalf of Lin's grocery store, I decided to donate 5 taels of silver, [-] Yangqi pills, and [-] Yuanyang pills!" Lin Fan opened his mouth, and it was a big amount.

These wealth can at least provide a team of one thousand people for a year's expenses and expenses.

As soon as the cannon rang, the gold was ten thousand taels.

This war, on the surface, is fighting the flames of war.However, what is actually fighting is economic and financial resources.

"Thank you!" Ye Tian sincerely thanked Lin Fan.This bit of wealth seems to be a drop in the bucket for Lin Fan.But for the army, it was already a windfall.

Qian Rushan also gritted his teeth: "I will also donate 5 taels of silver, [-] qi-nourishing pills, and then I will give away [-] catties of the first-grade Linggu! Show your support for the human race!"

Ye Tian nodded, the donation from Lin Fan and Qian Rushan can be regarded as a surprise.

Especially Lin Fan's Yuanyang Pill, which is a pill that can directly increase combat power.In the war years, it can be regarded as the most scarce material.

"You donated a lot of property. In return, on behalf of the Tianyuan Dynasty, I decided to grant the two of you the title of third-class baron and provide one hundred guards."

Ye Tian hesitated for a moment, then suddenly made a surprising decision.

Royal aristocrats are not something ordinary people can enjoy.

It's not that you are strong enough to match the title.This is a kind of recognition and respect from the Tianyuan royal family for you.

There are a total of five titles for Gonghou Bozinan, and each title is subdivided into first, second and third ranks.

Even the lowest third-class baron has the right to deploy troops.

And above the viscount, he can enjoy the fiefdom and rule one side.

It is Ye Tian's attitude to reciprocate.

What he represents now is not a friend, but a prince of a dynasty.

From the perspective of friends, no matter how much money Lin Fan and Qian Rushan gave Ye Tian, ​​Ye Tian would not need to give anything back.This will only alienate them.

However, as a prince of a dynasty, one must be rewarded for meritorious service, which is a solid attitude.

After some conversation, Lin Fan's mind became heavy.It is no exaggeration to describe the current Tianyuan Dynasty with the four words of wind and rain.

Sure enough, since that conversation, the situation of the Tianyuan Dynasty changed drastically.

In just three months, out of a total of 830 cities in Tianyuan Dynasty, 91 cities were completely occupied by zombies. 210 A city fell into the hands of the demon clan.

The eight major families rebelled, and the Tang family ceded one side of the land, occupying [-] cities and declared the establishment of a country, the country's name is Tang.

The Shangguan family remained silent and neutral, but the taxes of the 56 cities to which the Shangguan family belonged were no longer paid, and they were vaguely separated from the Tianyuan Dynasty.

The merchant who once forced Xu Rou to marry him also controlled 32 cities, vaguely becoming a vassal.

The other five families are very low-key, sticking to their own territory and city, seeming to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

All of a sudden, the Tianyuan Dynasty became in disarray.The eighteenth prince Ye Tian returned to the imperial capital to quell the chaos.

Xuanwu City was also forced to get involved, and the area where Xuanwu City was located turned out to be one of the cities controlled by merchants.

The corvee tax in Xuanwu City suddenly increased, which was three times as much as before, which made the people miserable and filled with resentment.

Walking on the streets of Xuanwu City, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart as he looked at the desolate scene.On weekdays, the noisy and prosperous streets are full of traffic, but now there are few people, and the windows and doors are closed.

The taxation is too heavy, which has made the business of many shops unable to continue, and the daily income is not enough for the tax officials to extort and extort.

Three months ago, the Black Stone King suddenly announced a retreat, and then he lost the news.

Today's Xuanwu City is ruled by a man named Shang Han sent by a merchant, who expropriates and extorts money without restraint.

Shang Han is an uncle of the merchant. He has a life span of 800 years and he has cultivated to the eighth level of cave storage.And under him, there is a merchant's personal guard, a total of 10 troops, of which there are a full 12 people who are above the acupuncture points.The rest are all above the body training level.

This kind of force deterrence, except for the two behemoths of the Lin family and the Xu family, there is no longer any force that can contend against it. Can be wronged.

"You are Lin Fan?" Walking on the street, Lin Fan was full of sighs.

A figure reined in its horse and stopped.This is a flaming horse, a common savage beast. It is naturally compatible with flames, and it travels hundreds of thousands of miles a day without getting tired.After becoming an adult, he will have combat power equivalent to the level of body training.On the horseback sat a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was wearing a silver-white battle suit, with a resolute face and a pair of bright eyes.

"Who are you?" Lin Fan was calm. For this kind of military master, ordinary people might be afraid to three points.However, Lin Fan seemed to be just mediocre, only at the fifth level of body training.

This level of combat power could no longer be included in Lin Fan's eyes.

Taking advantage of his position as baron, the lowest level of the hundred guards he recruited was the third level of body training!
Of course, these guards were all slaves that Lin Fan bought from Wanbao Pavilion. They cost a lot, but they were still within Lin Fan's tolerance.

"I am Shang Gu, the commander of the merchant Shenglongwei. Your Lin's grocery store is suspected of selling military supplies, which violates the merchant's laws. Come with me!"

"Selling military supplies? My Lin's grocery store only sells medicines and instruments, and never sells military supplies! I think you seem to have made a mistake!" Lin Fan has always maintained a peaceful attitude and is unwilling to make too many enemies. .

However, Shang Gu sneered, "Since you are Lin Fan, then I am looking for the right person! Your Danchi and Yuanyang Dan have been included in the list of military supplies by my business law. How dare you Selling is violating the law, and the crime should be the extermination of the nine clans!"

Looking at Shang Gu's ferocious face, Lin Fan suddenly understood.This guy is simply greedy for his own Yuanyang Pill and Danchi, so he puts on a big hat and wants to make money from murder

This is a bloody plot, but it can happen in any world.

Lin Fan waved his palm, "Since your merchant lists these items as military supplies, then my Lin's grocery store won't sell them! I can't afford to mess with them, can I still afford to hide them?"

Lin Fan showed a strange smile, not like fear, but more like a hunter who has caught his prey.

"You won't sell it if you don't sell it! Then what about the things you sold before? Quickly follow me back to the city lord's mansion to plead guilty, maybe my merchant will be merciful and spare your life!"

That Shang Gu still held on to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan stood where he was, without moving, "Since you said I was a trafficker, there must be someone to prove it! If you can find that person's evidence, I will plead guilty and execute him!"

Shang Gu laughed loudly and said: "That's good! I'll find this witness. When the time comes, there will be all the witnesses and evidences. I'll see what else you have to say!"

After a cup of tea, hundreds of onlookers gathered in the street.

Even Lin Qianqiu, the patriarch of the Lin family, came!The Lin family kept supplying the Lin family with Yuanyang Pills, and turned to Yangqi Pills, which won the favor of many high-level members of the Lin family, and even some old monsters who were hidden from the world vaguely expressed that they had accepted Lin Fan's favor.

Shang Gu's subordinates also gathered around ten soldiers, and three men in brocade clothes were escorted by the soldiers, cowering and cowering, with a terrifying look on their faces.

The three of them were indeed the buyers who bought Yuanyang Dan from Lin's grocery store yesterday.

This is also the so-called witness that Shang Gu found to confirm Lin Fan's guilty testimony.

This action was ordered by the higher-ups, not only to kill Lin Fan, but also to take the opportunity to show the prestige of the merchant.To put it more bluntly, this is killing chickens and monkeys.

Lin Fan then became a pitiful tool for merchants to establish their prestige in Xuanwu City.

"Everyone look out! This Lin Fan runs the Lin's Grocery Store. It violates the laws of our business, and deals in two kinds of military supplies, Yuanyang Pill and Danchi. According to the laws of the business, the Nine Clans should be exterminated!
This trial will be in front of a large audience!No suspicion of cheating! "

Shang Gu's voice is Lang Lang, like a master Qingtian.

However, when his words fell into Lin Qianqiu's ears, it felt particularly awkward.

Lin Fan is a disciple of his Lin family, but all the direct descendants of the Lin family are related to him.

To kill Lin Fan's nine clans, is this to destroy his entire Lin family?But after that, Lin Qianqiu's expression became even weirder. Lin Fan's mother seemed to be from the Shangguan family, and if Lin Fan's nine clans were killed, even the Shangguan family would be killed by the merchants?

Lin Fan looked at the three of them with cold eyes: "You said that the three of them bought Yuanyang Dan from my Lin's grocery store?"

"Not bad!" Shang Gu was decisive and powerful.

Lin Fan glanced at the three of them: "Have you three met me before?"

The three of them suddenly regained their energy, their eyes were confused, "I have never seen the young master before."

The three spoke in unison.

Qian Rushan, the fat man who was in the crowd, couldn't help laughing, you're getting a witness for Lin Fan, isn't that just a joke?Lin Fan, a priest in the spirit realm, can control the thoughts and emotions of these three people with just one look.

As soon as the three of them spoke, Shang Gu's expression changed suddenly.A whip fell to the ground.

"You three bastards, what do you mean?"

Lin Fan raised his palm slightly, supporting the leather whip that fell on the ground.

"Master Shang Gu, what do you mean? The witness failed to confess, so are you going to beat him up?" Lin Fan looked coldly at Shang Gu.

Shang Guqi's face was almost blushing, he was out of breath, unable to speak a word.

"Tell me, why did you come here as witnesses to report me? It's okay, don't be afraid of the merchants, if they are unreasonable, I can protect you!" Once the roles changed, Lin Fan became the umbrella of the three of them.

One of the brocade-clothed men timidly said, "Yes, it is the merchant who wants to take over the young master's shop, that's why he asked us three to slander you!

Said that if the three of us don't use what they said as a testimony to prove the guilt of the adults, then, we will kill our whole family! "

As soon as the witness's words came out, all the onlookers looked at Shang Gu with strange expressions.

This business is too dishonest!If you slander, just slander, you actually found such three weak-willed witnesses!

Shang Guqi almost vomited blood.

Lin Fan cupped his hands and said: "Master Shang Gu, why do you want to do this? If you want the Yuanyang Pill in my shop, I will give it to you. This is [-] Yuanyang Pills, so I will give it to Lord Shang Gu. Since the merchant has made a law , Don’t sell Yuanyang Pills in our shop and close the Pill Pond, then we will obey the order!

From then on, the Lin family grocery store no longer operates two businesses! "

As soon as Lin Fan said this, the disciples of some big families all changed their colors.
