Cosma Empire

"It's about the same level, we can find a chance to make him make a mistake!" The old man took off his mud-covered work gloves and threw them aside, looking at the potted plants bathed in the sun with great satisfaction. hobby. Maybe it's because I'm old and I don't want to walk around too much, or it may be because I have a desire for plants to be evergreen, and I hope that I can be infected with some evergreen things when I spend more time with these green plants. All in all he was immersed in the craft of bonsai gardening. He stretched his body, made a few noises that sounded like dislocation of bones, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a terrible thing to get old!"

With his back to the light, he turned around and looked at a slightly dark-skinned provincial man, with an ice-like indifference behind his half-smile eyes, "Do you know how much profit this city brings us every year that is not on the books? ?”, without waiting for the slightly dark-skinned provincial man to speak, he asked himself and answered: “1.6 million stars, isn’t that an exaggeration, did it scare you?” His voice paused as he spoke, He laughed at himself and said, "I forgot, you have been to a big city, and the income there is higher than here!"

If there are outsiders around, I'm afraid I can't believe my ears. A small city on the border has a gray income of 1.6 million a year. According to official statistics, this is higher than the city's total annual tax payment. More than ten or twenty times, it is half of the city's total output value. Such a huge sum of income actually came from gray income! But if this income is subdivided into each project, each executor, and each profit point, then it is not so exaggerated.

Skilled women, bars that sell bootleg alcohol, human smuggling, transportation of contraband, income from comfort fees, extortion, and many other gray incomes add up to 1.6 million, which seems to be too little a little bit.

He nodded slightly to the provincial man standing in the sun opposite him. This guy was Lewis, the king of the new generation of underground kingdom who had seen the big pier. He is the "subordinate" of the old man. The main purpose of bringing him back from the outside this time is not only to fill the gap after Gedor's death, but also to use him to deal with Xiu En.

The old man continued, "But do you know how much income was remitted to the Imperial Central Bank this month? More than 60,000 stars, less than half of the previous one. This number should have increased exponentially with the release of the second prohibition on alcohol." , but now it has not improved, but only half of what it used to be, what is the problem?" The old man took a few steps forward, walked to a crooked potted plant, and pushed the shelf directly.

The potted plant fell to the ground, the cracked flowerpots were scattered all over the place, and the compact soil in the flowerpots was also shaken away, exposing the rotten roots. It's been a long time, not only meddling in the bootlegging business, I heard recently that he is also meddling in the sheepfold business?"

Lewis nodded. Sheepfold is a slang word, which means the business of buying and selling people. It is difficult to understand the amazing profits if you have not been in contact with such a business. Kidnapping a girl or a boy has no cost to the gang. As long as they choose a target, they only need to capture the person back. There is no initial investment and no later maintenance funds, but the population they tied back can be sold at a very high price.

It can be said that this is a transaction with no cost and a profit rate as high as ten thousand times.

Girls or boys who are excellent in all aspects will be sold in auctions in other developed places. The higher the quality, the higher the auction price, and sometimes even tens of thousands of yuan or hundreds of thousands of yuan. As for the low-quality products, they will not lose money. If they are less than one or two thousand, if they are more than seven or eight thousand, there has never been such a thing as unsalable.

Bootleggery and population can be said to be the two pillars of Tenel's gray income. Now Xiu En has discounted the legs of the bootlegger, and plans to intervene in the population business, which has already touched the core interests of the vested interests in Tenell City, so they must drive Xiu En out of Tenell,

Or shut him up forever.

To this end, these people made a plan, and then chose an executor of the plan, that is, Lewis.

The old man pursed his lips, took off his gold-rimmed eyes, and rubbed his sunken eyes, "Do as we agreed before, if he doesn't bow his head, send him to see God!", the old man and Lewis walked past him, and Lewis bent and lowered his head without any hesitation. He has been to big cities, and he has a better understanding of how powerful the core energy of a city is, which is simply not something he can compete with.

"If you do this well, you will be the king of the sewers. If you can't do it well, you can go back wherever you came from!"

The old man returned to the study and sat by the window. The light projected through the glass window made his whole body warm. He opened the book and continued reading from the place he read in the morning, but he was thinking about other things. matter.

When Xiu En treated an informant in a very rough way on the street, the news had already quickly spread to the ears of the city leaders, and they were all waiting for this opportunity. Xiu En was not so easy to deal with when he was calm, and they also gradually realized Magus's true intentions, using his son's death as an excuse to forcefully promote the establishment of the Contraband Investigation Bureau. Come up with a solution.

In the early stage, they sent a broker to bribe Xiu En, but that guy is still locked up in the Contraband Investigation Bureau on the grounds that he is suspected of transporting contraband. Afterwards, they also warned Xiu En by means of threats and intimidation, but they were all ignored by Xiu En. There are actually many ways to kill Xiu En, but considering that Xiu En's boss is the new governor, they can't use such a rough method as soon as they come up, so they chose to abide by the rules of the game and let Xiu En make mistakes.

As long as Xiu En made mistakes, he would have no reason to stay in this city. If someone else came, he might not be as decisive as Xiu En.

The purpose of a series of wrong information in the early stage is to make Xiu En feel that he has been played by the city, so that he has an urge to be angry and has nowhere to explode. He is like a ball. When the air in the ball reaches the ball, it can The critical point of bearing, at this time, only needs a light touch-boom!

Get rid of Xiu En, and the city will return to calm, as it was before.

The old man calmed down and devoted himself to reading.

After a few days of peaceful days, Xiu En knew that he had been tricked again, and the accompanying detectives wearing RCA stamped on their faces came out of the house with strange expressions, and walked around Xiu En one after another, for fear of becoming him Depressed object. Recently, Xiu En's temper has been getting worse and worse. Fortunately, everyone can understand. Apart from sweeping bars and some entertainment venues to check whether there are contraband for sale every day, they have not made much achievements in other aspects. On the contrary, they are played almost once a day, or even two or three times.

The situation is the same today. Someone stuffed an envelope into the mailbox of the Bureau of Contraband Investigation, saying that someone here is secretly hiding and selling narcotics. Xiu En immediately led people across half of the city to come here, but found nothing but dust and rats. Sometimes when he received information and clues, he already had a premonition that he was being tricked, but he had to come, and he had to come fully armed. What if it was true?

After being teased again, Xiu En took a deep breath, and shouted to stop the team with an extremely ugly face. At this moment, a child ran over with a box in his arms and stood in front of him.

"Someone asked me to give this to you, but you have to give me one dollar." The child hugged the box tightly, staring at Xiu En with innocent big eyes, if you don't give me the money, I won't give you anything resolute.

Xiu En had a weird expression on his face, but he still took out a dollar and stuffed it into the child's hand. The child smiled and handed the box to Xiu En, turned around and walked away. The appearance of the child made Xiu En feel better. He shook the square box about 20 centimeters wide in his hand, and there was no sound of anything being shaken inside. He weighed it again, and it wasn't very heavy. He thought for a while and decided to open the box. The moment he opened the box, there was a bang, and white smoke filled the air instantly.

The frustrated agents immediately found cover nervously, raised their weapons, and looked around warily. Two people rushed into the smoke, and soon pulled Xiu En out while coughing.

He was not injured, and the white powder was not deadly poisonous powder, it was just ordinary flour. But it was precisely because of this behavior and result that Xiu En became even more angry. His hands shook involuntarily. Or open or close the windows. He understood that someone was watching him, probably still laughing at such a "prank".

While wiping the flour off his face, he asked in a low voice, "Where did that damned brat go just now?"

The people living in this neighborhood are all middle-class families, each with its own house and yard, and the streets are also very neat and orderly, someone immediately pointed to the fourth house ahead and said: "He ran into that house! "

Xiu En said keep up, and immediately led the people to chase after him. He wanted to know who was secretly watching his jokes, and also wanted to know who was playing tricks on him all day long. He was about to explode, and the flames ignited in his violently heaving chest could almost dye the entire sky red!

The moment he was stunned at the moment the door opened as soon as it was pushed, two children with pistols rushed out and pointed their guns at him...
