Your Human Emperor Banner is already emitting evil spirits, and you're still pretending to be a

Everyone will naturally get excited when there are benefits to be gained, and will definitely be more focused when doing things next time.

Xu Feng's control over human nature can be said to have reached the pinnacle. He has just arrived, and if he uses tough measures to make everyone submit to him, it will inevitably cause everyone's disgust.

But it’s different now. Once we get the benefits, everyone will stand on the same front.

And this is just one time, there may be other benefits in the future.

Everyone was busy dividing the silver. Seeing that nothing went wrong, Honglian came to Xu Feng and joked.

"Master Xu is truly a man of great authority. With just a few words, he has manipulated so many of my subordinates. I even suspect you are a spy from the Demon Cult. Only members of the Demon Cult can be so sharp-tongued."

Honglian brought them here from the capital. The relationship between them was more like that of superiors and subordinates. Unexpectedly, Xu Feng had only been in contact with them for less than half a month and the two sides had already become friends.

She knew very well that everyone who had received benefits from Xu Feng would be more efficient in doing things, regardless of how loyal they were. He was right about him.

"What's the big deal? It's just a little silver. The more you give out, the more you can get back from Jianfeng Mountain. Don't feel bad about it. You can't let the horse run and then let it graze on the mountain, right?"

Xu Feng folded his arms over his chest and spoke flatteringly with a smile.

For him, money is of no use at all. In comparison, he values ​​improving his strength more.

The most important thing is to get things done well.

They have now completely established their foothold in Gusu City, and there is still a lot of fun ahead. Jianfeng Mountain and the county magistrate will definitely not give up, and the Six Gates are secretly watching them covetously.

Under such circumstances, there must be no mistakes within his own team. Xu Feng does not want to see a situation where people pretend to obey but actually go against their will.

Honglian was immediately ashamed and angry when she heard this, and she chased after Xu Feng. The two played around for a while, then stopped.

Honglian said sternly, "I'm not complaining. I just thought your words were just for our own use, but don't let them get out. Otherwise, the people at the court will definitely regard you as a traitor."

In Xu Feng's eyes, the Jinyiwei were the emperor's minions. Although everyone knew this was true, they could not say it openly.

The imperial censors in the court kill people with their mouths, and even the emperor won't be able to save him when the time comes.

"Don't worry, I know my limits and will definitely not mention it in front of outsiders."

Everyone quickly divided the silver among themselves, and some even felt a little reluctant to leave.

"Sir, would you like me to take my brothers to other gambling houses? Those shops that have honestly closed down may not be clean. Let's check their account books first."

Just a few words of advice changed the behavior of Honglian's subordinates, which shows how clever Xu Feng's methods are.

This is the real situation of the Jinyiwei. There is no need to have any scruples. Kill those who should be killed and arrest those who should be arrested. However, you cannot be too impulsive now. Another wave of plundering will disrupt Xu Feng's original plan. You have to be quiet for the time being.

"Tell the brothers not to be too anxious and not to show off. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future if they follow me. We need to give them some breathing space."

Seeing that Xu Feng had no intention of continuing, everyone had no choice but to give up and discuss where to go to relax.

Xu Feng did not restrict their private actions. They had to spend the money they earned. As long as they did not mess around outside, there would be no problem.

After separating from the crowd, Xu Feng and Hong Lian came to the guard post to discuss their next course of action.

"What on earth are you thinking? Can you tell me your complete plan now?"

"From the account books found in the city, we can roughly infer that the owner behind most of the gambling houses is Jianfeng Mountain. The Six Gates and the county magistrate are also involved. The combined strength of these three parties is a considerable pressure on us."

Even though they closed the gambling house after Xu Feng's order was spread, it did not mean that they were afraid of the Jinyiwei. They just did not want to suffer losses for no reason.

If they do not take follow-up action, the other party will surely make a comeback, and all their efforts during this period will be in vain.

"Be patient. You know that the three factions were united when facing the Jinyiwei. What we need to do is to unravel this bond and defeat the three factions one by one."

Xu Feng remained very calm from beginning to end, and the situation was still under his control. As of now, neither the county magistrate nor the Six Gates could pose a threat to them.

As for Jianfeng Mountain, without these two backers, they are just an ant in front of the imperial court. At most, they are just slightly larger ants that can be crushed to death with just a flick of the finger.

Xu Feng did not intend to take action himself, he was ready to let the other party fight each other.

"Are you planning to join forces with one of the parties?"

Honglian was horrified. She now roughly understood Xu Feng's formal style. This kind of person would never consider the process when doing things, but only care about the results.

It’s just that Xu Feng has his own bottom line.

As long as he doesn't touch this bottom line in the process, he can do anything.

"It's not a collaboration, it's just driving the wolf to devour the tiger."

"You have to be careful. These people are not easy to mess with. They have been entrenched in Gusu City for many years. Their power should not be underestimated. If we relax, we will definitely fall into their trap."

Honglian did not intend to interfere with Xu Feng's plan. She just gave him a reminder and Xu Feng nodded to show that he understood.

"Have you sent anyone to contact them?"

"Of course not. There's no need for us to show up. If I'm not mistaken, someone will come to visit soon."

Xu Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The closure of a large number of gambling houses has a great impact on some people. Sooner or later, they will not be able to hold back and come to the gambling houses. It is easy for them to go from frugality to extravagance. They are used to a good life and they definitely cannot get used to a hard life.

"What if no one comes to visit?"

"How about we make a bet? If I don't see you before sunset tomorrow, I can unconditionally agree to three of your requests. Otherwise, you have to agree to three of mine."

Honglian would not be fooled by him. Although she didn't know why Xu Feng was so confident, she knew that Xu Feng would never do anything without a purpose.

"Come on, you're still trying to set me up. I want to see if it's really as amazing as you say. I can wait a whole day."

In the county government office, several days had passed. At this moment, the county magistrate had long lost his initial calmness and was quite angry.

Everyone who served him knew how bad his temper had been these days. He would beat and scold the servants at the slightest provocation, making it so that no one dared to approach him.

"Sir, we must find a solution. We have lost a lot of income during the past few days of closure. If we continue like this, we won't even be able to pay this year's tribute. I'm afraid the higher-ups will blame us."

"I think it would be better for us to contact the Jinyiwei."

After counting the account books of the past few days, Wang Qingshan came to the county magistrate to report.
