Chapter 1263 Xuanyi Inspection Brigade
Ah Piao had no evidence, but he had indeed suspected this all along.This is not a prejudice, but Jiang Yue behaves in a sneaky and shady manner. He does not look like an aboveboard person. It is easy to think that this mushroom man is working for the rebel party.

Seeing Ah Piao's serious look, Jiang Yue couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, you are afraid of death. We mushroom people are more afraid of death than you. The financial backer behind me is very powerful, but it is definitely not a gangster."

Ah Piao was doubtful: "Brother, I am not the crow's mouth, but I can warn you. As far as I know, the government is very strict about the investigation of rogue parties. Anyone who is a rogue party is bound to be unlucky. And working for a rogue party is probably not a good idea. What will happen?"

Jiang Yue said seriously: "If you are suspicious, terminate your cooperation with me now. As long as you return what you put into your pocket before, I will not cause trouble to you."

ah?Do you want a refund if you terminate the cooperation?Is this because I have boarded a pirate ship and cannot get off?
Ah Piao said depressedly: "You don't have to play like this. I exchanged the previous money based on intelligence, right?"

Jiang Yue said calmly: "You broke the contract on your own initiative, so you will naturally have to take responsibility. Do you really think that money is so easy to make in this world? If it is so easy to make money, why do you bring private goods from the inn every day? Do you know, If these things are discovered by the inn, what will happen to you?"

What will happen?Ah Piao simply didn't dare to think about it.Losing one's job is the lightest thing, but one may have to suffer physical pain or even go to jail.

The more terrible result is losing one's life.

Don’t think that Wanxiang Hotel can’t do it.Even if he kills the chicken to scare the monkey, the inn will definitely punish him severely.Otherwise, how can we scare other waiters?How to cut off other people's thoughts that are about to move?
If everyone poaches like Ah Piao, will the inn still be open?It's all eaten up by these bastards.

Ah Piao looked at Jiang Yue in fear, thinking that Jiang Yue was going to report him.

Jiang Yue saw all his little thoughts clearly: "Don't worry, if I wanted to report you, I would have reported you long ago. I'm not interested in what you did before. It's just a deal between you and me. . I have no intention of blackmailing you with the report. However, I must also remind you that although my employer has a sensitive identity, he is by no means a gangster. You should not make things up out of thin air or act too smart to cause trouble. I guarantee that you If we do that, we will be fine, but you will definitely be in trouble."

Ah Piao saw that the other party had a confident look on his face and was not afraid at all that he would report it.I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, was the other party really hired by the rogue party?

Originally, Ah Piao was just afraid that Jiang Yue was an accomplice of the rebellious party. If he covered it up, he, Ah Piao, would be doing business with the rebellious party indirectly.

This was what he was afraid of, not that he would really hesitate to report Jiang Yue.

Ah Piao knew better than anyone that if he reported it, the other party would be a traitor, and he, Ah Piao, would not end well.

And if the other party is not a rebel, the other party will definitely be exposed by Ah Piao's cheating every day when he is ashamed and angry. At that time, it will be Ah Piao himself who will be the most unlucky.

Thinking of this, Ah Piao became much more honest all of a sudden, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, you know, I have no intention of reporting you. I'm just worried."

While the two were talking, suddenly there was shouting from outside the tavern, and then a large number of people quickly approached from a distance and quickly surrounded the tavern.

Each of these people were wearing uniforms, and they were obviously the official soldiers of the Titan City-State.

"Routine inspection, no one is allowed to leave without permission."

There were at least more than 100 soldiers and horses, and they easily blocked the entrances and exits.

The leader, wearing a very elegant uniform, walked in through the front door with a carefree step, not even looking directly at the shopkeeper and waiter who walked out with smiling faces.It looked like a business-like thing.

"Master Wang, didn't you just do a routine inspection this morning? Why did you do it again?" The shopkeeper was acting like a coward all the way, laughing and carefully following the leader, bowing and saying Please.

"What? Our Xuanyi Inspection Brigade is enforcing the law. Do we still need to ask for your opinion? How many times a day are we inspected? Do we still need your approval?" The leader pushed the shopkeeper away.

The flesh on his face was beating, and he shouted sternly: "Everyone, please stay where you are. The Xuanyi Brigade is enforcing the law and arresting the rebels. If anyone acts rashly, it is related to the rebels. Don't blame our swords for not having eyes." Accept the interrogation honestly, our Xuanyi Brigade will not let a bad person go, nor will we wrongly accuse any good person."

Xuanyi Inspection Brigade?

Jiang Yue roughly knew some of the power structure of Titan City-State.Knowing that this Xuanyi Inspection Brigade is not considered the top force in Titan City State, it is not even considered a backbone force, let alone an elite force. It is only responsible for some trivial matters of daily security.

The combat effectiveness can be said to be very average.However, this does not affect their power.When it comes to security issues, they can have a hand.

Especially now that they are arresting rebels and rebels, their power has been extended.For routine inspections like this, they just need to open their mouth and find a reason to come to the door.

A tavern like this has no big backer and only does ordinary small business, so there really isn't much room for resistance.

It can be seen that this tavern must have poor public relations.Although the shopkeeper has a good attitude, it is obvious that his filial piety in other aspects is not in place.

This is why I checked it in the morning and checked it again in the evening.

Even Jiang Yue could see this.

But the shopkeeper of this tavern seemed to be very nervous and didn't realize it.Or maybe he knew it, but he didn't want to bleed, and just wanted to pretend to be stupid and deal with it.

However, checking like this two or three times a day obviously affected his business.If the investigation lasted for several days, he would never want to do this business.

Who wants to come here to drink?Checking several times a day is clearly the rhythm of finding faults.No one is a fool. Drinking is not drinking. Why would you drink in a place where you are easily investigated?Having mentioned the basic sense of security, isn’t it disappointing to be interrogated?
Moreover, anti-thieves and rebels have very sensitive identities now. Even if everyone knows that they are innocent, who knows whether these people from the Xuanyi Inspection Brigade will go crazy and wrongly accuse good people?These days, are there fewer cases of frame-ups and wrongful accusations against good people?
But now, the drinking customers dare not say anything.People have already started to investigate, so even if they are unhappy, they have to hold their noses and endure it.

What's going on?Is it possible to openly confront the Xuanyi Brigade?Refusing to be interrogated?Then they can really be treated as a gangster.

The customers all know that this is the disgusting people of Xuanyi Brigade. Judging from the intensity of their investigation, they know that this does not seem like they are really trying to investigate anti-thieves and rebels.

Ah Piao was extremely nervous. He glanced at Jiang Yue, trying to figure out something from his expression.If Jiang Yue looks sneaky and nervous now, it proves that the other party is really working for the rebel party.

Ah Piao didn't notice anything. Jiang Yue's expression was very calm, and he even looked like he was watching the excitement and was very interested. This actually made Ah Piao feel a little relieved.Could it be that he was really overthinking it and that he was not a rebel?

The investigation team quickly found Jiang Yue's table.

Ah Piao is an inn waiter, and he has proof of residence in the city of Titan, so there must be no problem with his identity.Jiang Yue, on the other hand, is a mushroom man who looks honest and has the token of the Abyssal Clan.

The interrogator asked a few questions without delving too deeply into the matter, and then moved on to the next table.

The inspection lasted at least an hour or two.

During this period, no one is allowed in or out.During this prime time, these two hours are undoubtedly a lot less money.

The shopkeeper's heart was bleeding, but his face was still numb.

The leader of the Xuanyi brigade, who the shopkeeper calls Wangye, said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, we are also following orders, please be patient. Don't blame me for checking diligently, I will give you a thorough explanation. We received a tip saying that there are gangsters in your place. The gangsters regard your inconspicuous tavern as a stronghold and may meet here. That's why we made a surprise inspection. This is to say hello to you in advance. , such surprise inspections will happen frequently in the future, we can’t say when they will be, and we can’t guarantee when the anti-thieves and rebels will appear, so you should be mentally prepared.”

This is considered a long-term routine inspection, and the excuse is very strong.

You are a stronghold for anti-thieves and rebels. We will conduct surprise inspections at every turn. Be mentally prepared, but don't blame me for not notifying you, and don't think this is a personal grudge.

But whether it is a personal grudge or not is hard to say.

The shopkeeper had a crying look on his face and couldn't help complaining: "Master Wang, this is a small business and we can't afford this. As you know, our small place is so simple, with only a few rooms. There is no way to avoid the eyes and ears. How short-sighted are the anti-thieves and the rebel party, who would choose to join us here? How can we have a joint with the rebel party here?"

Mr. Wang's expression was serious: "What? Do you think our Xuanyi Brigade has wronged you?"

"Don't dare, but I have never heard of any gangsters hanging out in this tavern. If there really was a gangster, I would have reported it a long time ago. Why wait for Mr. Wang to come and investigate in person?"

"Haha, shopkeeper, don't talk too much. If we really want to find a gangster in your place one day, your denial today will most likely become evidence against you in the future. If you don't know that the gangster is still there Okay, at best, you are negligent. If you know that there are rebels and rebel against the party and do not report it, then you are colluding with the rebel party and covering up the rebel party, which will lead to big trouble."

The shopkeeper almost vomited blood. He still went to the top of the line and was slapped with a thumbs down.

He knew that if these evil gods were not dealt with well today, they might really be in trouble in the future.No matter how stingy or stingy he is, he still has to pay the protection fee today.

"Master Wang, please take a moment to speak."

It's easy to guard against thieves and thefts, but these uniformed ones are really hard to guard against.Thieves may not make him bankrupt, but these people can bankrupt him or even destroy his family with just one word.

The shopkeeper initially took 500 silver coins to show his respect, but Mr. Wang didn't even look at him, he just laughed weirdly, which made the shopkeeper's heart tingle.

After adding up to 3000 silver coins in a row, Wangye said calmly: "Shopkeeper, please have a longer-term perspective. This period is not peaceful. Only if you have foresight and be a good person can your business prosper. If the structure is small, this business can be done. It won’t last long. Yes, yes, after many inspections by brothers, your tavern is indeed run with integrity and has not colluded with the rebels and thieves."

Once the money is in place, there will naturally be no more rebels and rebels.

More than 100 people came and left like a gust of wind.

The shopkeeper's face was left with a look of tears.

The guests in the audience also shouted, dissatisfied with the treatment they received. They felt that they were interrogated after drinking at the shopkeeper's place, and they must give an explanation from the shopkeeper.

There was no choice but to beg for mercy by the shopkeeper and get a [-]% discount.Only then was he finally coaxed by the guests.

The shopkeeper's face was as pale as a pig that had just been bled, and he cursed: "There are dozens of yamen, big and small, and each one has a bigger appetite than the last. These uncles really treat us like fat pigs, and they won't let us do business? Is this the case?" If this goes on, everyone will stop doing business. They will be busy all year long and will not make much money, and they will have to worry all day long. Haha, in the past, extortion still had a way of saying it. Nowadays, just say "anti-thieves and rebels" and come to your door to ask for help. Money. I’ve never seen anyone who rebelled against thieves and rebels. Ninety percent of the profits from my tavern are fed to these jackals.”

No wonder the shopkeeper was angry, but in fact he was being blackmailed too hard.It's hard to overstate how to knock the bones and suck out the marrow.

The customers didn't care about you, and some even made sarcastic remarks.

"Old shopkeeper, spend money to buy safety. Who doesn't do this business these days?"

"You still have no backing, anyone can take advantage of you."

"If you want your business to grow, you have to find a backer."

The shopkeeper was very worried. Why didn't he want to find a backer?But in this Titan city-state, each yamen is bigger than the last, and the wealthy families are richer than the last. He is a tavern owner. Who among the big shots looks at him?How much profit can he afford to buy a lifelong immunity amulet?
The old shopkeeper angrily said: "If we continue like this, I'll probably quit. At our age, we don't make much money, so we can't put the book in the coffin. That's right, I'll redeem the tavern tomorrow. . Whoever has the ability will do it. If no one takes over, I will just shut down the business."

I don’t know if the old shopkeeper is speaking out of anger, or if he is really frustrated.

But the man who was doing good things said: "Shopkeeper, you're not talking in anger, are you?"

"You're a bastard who talks in anger, do you want to cash in? As long as you can afford the price, this pub will bear your surname tomorrow."

"How much money do you want to exchange? I can't afford the money, but I have friends I know who can introduce me."

"Come on, the pimp, don't talk nonsense. Let's redeem the store, and we don't have to earn an intermediary fee for the pimp."
