Chapter 543 Asking for a meeting

"you……"

Listening to Mark's words, Ning Mengnian choked up.

I don't know why, looking at what Ye Fan does, he seems to be a very reckless person. He kills the people he wants to kill, but sometimes he seems to be very meticulous.

To be precise, this is the ability to control opportunities, or in other words, the ability to understand the rules. Just like what he said just now, he realized that he just had an opportunity to kill Ji Neng.

Just like Ji Jie was hit hard, it was because this time the competition was just a light word of friendship first and competition second.

That said, but in this sense, in a sense, there is no rule that students cannot kill each other.

These are the loopholes and limitations of the rules, so Ye Fan insisted as soon as he opened his mouth that he was forced to take action and stood at the high point of the rules. Even if Ji Neng had unfavorable intentions, he could only condemn him morally and insist on finding someone to blame. It can only lead to useless wrangling.

"I have no morals anyway."

As if he could see what Ning Mengnian was thinking, Ye Fan spoke with a faint smile, "He wants to condemn me morally. He just wants to condemn me with a few words at the top of his lungs on the street, but he can't make me lose any meat." ”

After hearing these words, Ning Mengnian looked at Ye Fan in front of him, his eyes were in a trance, but he seemed to see some shadows of Ningxia River.

In a sense, I have to say that Ning Xiachuan and Ye Fan are very similar people. In other words, regardless of their personal personalities and pursuits, they have many things in common with people who have shown themselves to be heroes in this era. Application of rules and control of timing.

Sometimes when things go wrong, they will use loopholes to avoid profiting, but if the situation is on my side, they will definitely seize the opportunity to strike hard.

If Ningxia Chuan is crowned king, he will not hesitate to show his power in the court and eliminate dissidents in the academy. If Ye Fan is crowned king at this time, not to mention Ji Jie and Ji Neng, the entire Ji family will probably have to enter the court early because of Ji Neng. Turn into ashes.

Their ruthlessness is engraved in their bones. And the facts have indeed proved that ruthless people are the ones who are truly feared and feared.

No one is afraid of a tiger that pulls out its teeth, but everyone is frightened by a poisonous snake that spits out its messages.

The truth is that simple.

"You seem to have some very strong hatred for Ji Jie." After a while, Ning Mengnian spoke again, "But for such a long time, I don't seem to see you showing any concern for him."

"I used to pay a lot of attention to him, but as time goes by, it's no longer worthy of my attention." Ye Fan replied, but at this moment, there was a rare trace of real relief on his face.

No matter who the culprit is, Ji Jie's betrayal in his previous life is a fact, and he will definitely avenge such hatred.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and he was no longer the down-and-out young man with nothing. He just met a swinger brother whose killer weapon was nothing more than a self-destruction attack.

It is a pleasure to crush past hatred in an understatement.

Thoughts flashed through, and in the end, Ye Fan just patted Ning Mengnian and said, "Okay, let's continue the competition. This round of competition is the most difficult. It would be best if you can enter the top 32. It doesn't matter if you can't. There is no need to have What a pressure.”

"I think I can get in." Fatty Li said, "My group has the least pressure."

"Don't be careless." Ye Fan replied, patting Fatty Li, "Of course it would be best if you win, and you can be considered a truly glorious ancestor."

…

The start of the league is the most exciting moment for the entire human race.

Of course, this excitement does not include some places, such as the imperial court. Today's morning meeting, very few people came. Most of them went to the league venue to see their children and grandchildren. Those who stayed were basically those with very small positions. The civil servants were each handling documents from each province at their own desks.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, can you check the taxes of the four provinces of Beihai this year?" In the hall, a young official who seemed to be somewhat delicate and upright held the text in his hand and frowned: "Local Report Beihai The tax revenue the four provinces should have paid this year was 491.71 billion, but I checked the accounts and found that the actual tax revenue paid by the four provinces was 54 billion, a reduction of nearly a hundred times.”

"Is the text I received wrong? If you have it, give it to me. I feel like the taxes in the four provinces are a bit..."

"Shh." The official known as Lao Zhao quickly said, "Xiao Wang, don't speak so loudly."

"You have only been in government for a few days, so you don't know the complexity of Beihai." Old Zhao pulled Xiao Wang away and explained in a low voice: "Don't you know Beihai is governed by the King of the North?"

"What does it matter who is in power?" Xiao Wang was puzzled, "As long as the King of the North is in power, we don't have to hand over..."

"Hey, don't be so excited all the time. Let me explain to you." Old Zhao held down Xiao Wang and said quickly: "Let me tell you this, this King of the North was one of the four kings on the front line. He once had thousands of troops. Wan, in order to prevent him from having evil intentions, the imperial court transferred him back and served as the governor of the four provinces of Beihai. "

"Of course, he is the governor in name. In fact, the four provinces of Beihai are the fiefdoms given to him by the court to compensate the King of Northland. In the past few years, the tax revenue of the four provinces has always been the minimum requirement of 30 billion."

"So, he has paid more this year?" Hearing this, Xiao Wang was a little shocked: "Isn't this the equivalent of enfeoffing princes in ancient times? What kind of dynasty are these in? How come there is still such a thing? "

"The accumulated taxes of the four provinces have been underpaid by more than 4 trillion. This is more than double the tax revenue of the thirty provinces at the bottom of the human race. All of it goes into his pocket?"

"There is no way." Old Zhao was also a little helpless, "The King of the North has been famous for many years, and it was once said that he was a strong competitor for King Wu. The court cannot rest assured that such a person has tens of millions of troops on the front line, but if he wants to recall him, it will always be There can be no compensation at all.”

"This kind of compensation is just drinking a dove to quench your thirst."

Xiao Wang disagreed, "With so much money taken by him alone, it would have been enough to form a huge army. And as far as I know, the King of the North has been in Beihai for many years. If he really wanted to, Would not it be……"

At this point, the words stopped abruptly. Xiao Wang obviously thought of something terrible, his expression changed, and some cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Now you understand why the imperial court doesn't care about the taxation of the four provinces of Beihai." Old Zhao saw Xiao Wang's expression change and understood, showing a slightly meaningful expression, "Xiao Wang, you are still young, it is a good thing to work hard. , but don’t pay attention to many things so carefully..."

Hearing this, Xiao Wang did not answer, but the changes in his eyes clearly indicated that his world view had been impacted.

He was a poor boy from an ordinary family. He had no talent for controlling animals. He studied hard and took the civil service path. He worked hard for the first twenty years of his life before he finally came to the imperial court as a small official.

In the past, books taught him loyalty, etiquette, and justice. He always thought that the imperial court was just such a place, a place where elegant people and people with clear aspirations gathered. But at this time, it sounded like this in Lao Zhao's mouth. Such a contrast.

Fearing, recalling, enfeoffing, turning a blind eye and not hearing... Many high-ranking officials in the entire imperial court would use such a stupid way to deal with a top king with terrifying power.

"incredible."

After a while, Xiao Wang finally just said one sentence. As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded in the court.

Snap, snap.

The remaining officials were all awakened by the bright footsteps. They raised their heads and looked around. When they saw the elegant man with a folding fan appearing at the entrance of the court, many of them changed their expressions.

"Ningxiachuan, how come this lunatic comes here..." Old Zhao was also shocked and subconsciously pulled Xiao Wang to the table.

"A dignified civil servant, what does it look like to get under the table?" Xiao Wang did not accept it. He had obviously heard about the incident in Ningxiachuan. At this moment, when the officials were afraid to keep quiet, he stood up.

"Principal Ning, the imperial court has stipulated that you cannot leave Wudu Academy, why did you leave without permission..."

boom.

Only halfway through his words, Ning Xiachuan raised his hand, and an inexplicable force instantly sucked Xiao Wang into his hand.

"Member of the Taxation Department, eighth-grade official position." When Xiao Wang was mentioned, Ning Xiachuan just looked at the official card in front of him and sneered immediately: "I am the principal of Wudu who was personally appointed by King Wen. The weight of my position is the same as that of a second-grade official in the imperial court. When will it be your turn for an eighth-grade sesame official to talk about all kinds of bans on me?"

With that said, Ning Xiachuan threw it casually, and Xiao Wang flew out like a cannonball and hit a pillar in the court hall.

Snapped.

When he fell, even if he lost his voice, this dull sound in the court made everyone lower their heads in silence.

The high officials were all gone, and no one had the courage to face the Ningxia River.

Naturally, silence could not restrain Ningxia Chuan. He just swept around and looked at the officials who did not dare to look at him. Finally, he looked away, with a teasing smile on his face, but he knelt down on one knee.

"Central Wudu College, principal Ning Xiachuan, has something important to report."

"Please meet King Wen!"
