Chapter 1299 Conditions

Aopu is so arrogant, his capital lies in the nobles and aristocratic families hidden in Nirvana City.

As long as the nobles and aristocratic families are not eliminated, Opu will be safe for a day. At the same time, as long as he does not go too far, it will be difficult for Gong Xiaobai and Mei Mei to kill him.

If Aopu was killed recklessly, at most one person would die, and the nobles and aristocratic families could still find another person to be their spokesperson, but Nirvana City would have to bear their revenge, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Aopu understands this very well, so his usual behavior is quite unscrupulous, except for not touching Gong Xiaobai and charming eyebrows, there are almost no people in Nirvana City that he can't offend.

He dared to scold Chen Fang today because of this.

And the reason why he verbally targeted Chen Fang was not because he felt that everyone present was exaggerating about Chen Fang, but it was actually selfishness.

To put it bluntly, he has an arrogant personality. The young man can't see others being better than him, and hearing others praise Chen Fang feels harsh, so he speaks rudely.

The Luoluo sisters stood up to refute Opu, and directly exposed the filth of the aristocratic family behind him. As the spokesperson, of course Opu couldn't forget about it.

"You should be responsible for saying this. What evidence shows that we were manipulating the previous food shortage and market chaos." Op said coldly.

Luoluo snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, the food in the market was cleared up within two days. Except for those nobles and families behind you who have the financial resources, who else can do it? It's understandable."

"There is no evidence for what you say, and you must pay attention to evidence in everything. Do you have evidence to prove that we did this? If not, I will sue you for defamation."

"No, but everyone knows what's going on in their hearts."

Aopu sneered at Luoluo, then turned to Gong Xiaobai and said, "His Royal Highness, please uphold justice for me. Some people are fabricating charges out of thin air and slandering the nobles and nobles who have made great contributions to Nirvana City after my death. Aristocratic family, if I don't give an explanation, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of those who have made meritorious deeds."

Although Aopu did not say this directly, the threatening meaning in it was a face-to-face assault, and everyone could hear it.

"You...shameless, shameless, don't walk around at night, otherwise I will prevent you from seeing the sun the next day."

Seeing that Opu actually threatened him, Luoluo was so angry that she couldn't speak, and threatened like an eye for an eye.

Opu immediately seized the opportunity and said to Gong Xiaobai again: "Your Highness, you see she dared to threaten me. This is too rampant. I demand that she be arrested and imprisoned immediately, otherwise I will feel uneasy. The people behind me are also in trouble."

"you……"

Luoluo was really furious, and the elemental power was brewing in her body, as if she really wanted to make a move.

"Sister, sit down."

Seeing this, Luo Luo quickly stopped his sister, and pulled her to sit down, fearing that things would get worse if this continued.

"Okay, you all stop making trouble."

Gong Xiaobai stopped the two of them from fighting any further.

"Opu, you have a lot of adults, so don't be serious with a girl. She just because you called her master, as an apprentice, she has to stand up and express her opinion. In addition, she is in a bad mood recently, so she will inevitably speak out. How tolerant you are."

"I know what you have done, and I won't change my opinion just because of what other people say, so don't worry, I won't misunderstand you."

Gong Xiaobai naturally wouldn't deal with Luoluo, but he didn't want to tear himself apart with Aopu, so he found an excuse to suppress this matter.

But just saying the last sentence, it seemed that he was shy about giving in, so Gong Xiaobai said the latter sentence again.

On the surface, it sounds like he is expressing his trust in the other noble families behind Oppo, but in fact it is also saying that he has his own account in his heart and is bright.

After hearing Gong Xiaobai's words, Aopu's expression turned ugly, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

"Let's get down to business."

"Now our top priority is to solve the food problem, what else do you have to do?"

Gong Xiaobai asked everyone.

Charming waited for the people below to show embarrassment.

Opus sneered in his heart.

If they had a way, they would have said it long ago.

Gong Xiaobai was very disappointed seeing that everyone couldn't do anything.

"Then let's do this first, everyone go back and think of a way, tomorrow..."

Before Gong Xiaobai could finish speaking, Ao Pu interrupted suddenly.

"Your Highness, they can't do anything, but I have a way here."

Gong Xiaobai was silent.

If possible, he didn't want to listen to the method Op said, because it must be from the aristocratic family behind him, and it must have one or another condition, and I am afraid it will be difficult for people to accept.

But the matter of food was imminent, and there was not much time left. When there was nothing he could do, he had to go and listen.

After thinking about it, Gong Xiaobai said: "You say."

Aopu showed a smug smile, and he knew that Gong Xiaobai would not refuse.

"Actually, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about food. We have a lot of these things. If His Highness wants it, I can get someone to bring it over."

What us, is it you.

Offer whatever you want, you guys will be so kind, hehe, if there are no strings attached, no one will believe it.

All the Nirvana city officials present sneered in their hearts.

Nobles and aristocratic families pay food, it is the weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, uneasy and kind.

"Don't hide it, what are your conditions." Charming said coldly.

Aopu looked at Mei Mei, seeing her charming appearance, subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

"Miss Charming, we don't dare to raise any conditions. It's just a little suggestion." Aopu said with a self-righteous smile.

"I don't care if it's a condition or a proposal, just say it directly."

In Mei Mei's eyes, Opu was disgusted, and if it wasn't about Nirvana City, she wouldn't want to talk to him.

Aopu was annoyed when she saw that Meimei treated her badly.

Bitch, one day you will fall into my hands, and then see if you can still talk to me like you are now.

He was slandering in his heart, but on his face, Opu said with a pleasant face: "Your Highness, Miss Charming, we are willing to provide food to help Nirvana City through the difficulties, but we have a small proposal, that is, we hope to get the right to mint coins, and There are tax exemption benefits, and we hope that our people can take up some small positions in places other than Nirvana City."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was uproarious.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Gong Xiaobai refused without hesitation.

These three proposals are not small proposals, they are simply stabbing the economy and local management under the rule of Nirvana City.

Good guy, this is no longer talking about the lion, this is gluttony.

Needless to say, how important the minting power is, it is related to people's livelihood and economic stability, and it is something that the ruler must hold in his hands.

With it, even if the nobles and aristocratic families in Nirvana City have a turmoil economically, they will not be able to turn the entire table.

But if you hand it over, in the future, people can make troubles as they want in the economy. People stand outside from the table, but you are put on the table and let the mermaid be eaten.

So how could it be possible to hand over something that was a matter of lifeline.

Tax exemptions are similar. At present, nobles and aristocratic families occupy most of the market in Nirvana City, and the main transaction share is under their control. If this is exempt from taxes, how much money can Nirvana City’s finances get, and what funds will be used for future development and construction? , How to pay various salaries and rewards.

The last one is also despicable. It seems that they just want some positions, but the nobles and families behind them are planning to intervene in the ruling class of Nirvana City and gain power.

No matter how nice the words are for such a small position, it can't conceal their sinister intentions of gradually infiltrating into the depths and gradually replacing or even replacing them.

"These three conditions don't have to be discussed, you should give up on it." Charming said sharply.

After being rejected on the spot, Aopu remained calm and said to Gong Xiaobai, "Your Highness, don't rush to refuse now. You know the current situation in Nirvana City. The food problem must be solved after all. If not, my proposal can be used as a way out to avoid the end of the mountain, isn’t it very good.”

"Actually, Your Highness doesn't have to worry. Although I have mentioned these three proposals, it is not a deal. We can talk until both parties are satisfied."

After finishing speaking, Opu looked at Gong Xiaobai leisurely, waiting for a response.

Gong Xiaobai fell into silence and began to think.

If Aopu hadn't said that in the end, Gong Xiaobai would definitely refuse directly, but Aopu finally said that he could talk, which made Gong Xiaobai hesitate.

Seeing that Gong Xiaobai seemed a little moved, Mei Mei stood up and announced the end.

"Come here today, the meeting is over."

The officials present were very cooperative and all left.

"Your Highness, I am also resigning. If you think about it, please give me an answer."

Opu also stood up and saluted, greeted him, and then left proudly.

After everyone left, some people who were close to Gong Xiaobai were left in the meeting room, such as Yu Mei.

"Xiaobai, you absolutely cannot agree to his conditions, and don't even try to negotiate with them. In the negotiation based on the three conditions just now, no matter how much the other party makes concessions, we will lose, and it will definitely leave a huge hidden danger in the future." Charming solemnly warned.

Gong Xiaobai smiled wryly and said: "But if we don't talk about it, we can't think of a way to solve the food. There is absolutely no shortage of food in Jiangcheng, but Nirvana City also needs it. There is no choice at all. If we don't solve it, there will be big troubles."

Charming is also a headache, "You are right, but trading with them is tantamount to drinking poison to quench your thirst."

Seeing the frowns of the two, Luo Luo sighed and said, "It would be great if we could find those hidden nobles and aristocratic families. If we kill them all, we won't be threatened like now."

Hearing this, Gong Xiaobai frowned and sighed: "The problem is that I can't find them, and I don't know where they are hiding."

Charming also showed a puzzled expression and said: "I sent a lot of people to investigate in the city, but they couldn't find anything suspicious, not even a single clue, it's so strange."

It is reasonable to say that even if it is lurking, it is impossible to have no traces, but no matter how much you investigate, you can't find any traces of nobles and aristocratic families. They don't seem to exist, which is really weird.

"Then how did Aopu, who is the spokesperson, get in touch with them?" Gong Xiaobai asked in puzzlement.

"have no idea."

She shook her head charmingly.

"I sent someone to monitor him all the time, but I haven't found that he has been in contact with anyone until now."

"That's strange. He doesn't communicate with anyone, so how can he be a mouthpiece for nobles and aristocratic families?" Luo Luo asked.

"It should use the network we just set up not long ago, and communicate through some special equipment." Yumei guessed.

"But our network requires special equipment to access, and we must know the set energy signal segment, but this signal segment is only known to a few people, so it is impossible for them to know." Gong Xiaobai said.

Luo Luo interjected: "Could it be that they got the communicator we developed?"

"impossible."

Charming directly denied it.

Gong Xiaobai also said: "We have just developed the communication equipment not long ago, and it is still under inspection, and it has not been put into use. Even our own people have not equipped it yet. How could they have it?"

"Then how did they get in touch?" Luoluo asked puzzled.

Mei Mei didn't want to get too entangled in this issue, so she interrupted directly: "I don't care how he got in touch, it's best to let the matters of the nobles and the aristocratic families go, the most urgent thing is that we have to find a way to get a batch of food now , let’s talk after we get through this difficult time.”

"I've thought about everything I can think of, and none of them will work. I'm almost desperate."

Gong Xiaobai slumped on the chair as if discouraged.

"I wish my uncle was here at this time, and he would definitely come up with a solution."

After hearing this, Wu Mei slapped Gong Xiaobai angrily, and said: "We can't rely on Chen Fang for everything, but we don't think about anything. He is also a normal person, not a god, and can solve all problems."

Chen Fang is not an encyclopedia, he can answer 100,000 whys.

Let's not say that he is not here now, even if he is, he can't rely on him to find a way to solve everything.

It is easy for people to become dependent. Once dependent, the first thought when encountering a problem in the future will not be to find a solution by yourself, but to rely on others, which is easy to cause problems.

Gong Xiaobai is now somewhat dependent on Chen Fang.

It's not that Mei Mei thinks it's bad to rely on Chen Fang, but because she is afraid that this kind of dependence will become a habit, and Gong Xiaobai will not think about doing anything in the future, and only ask others to give advice.

Chen Fang is a close person, so it doesn't matter if he depends on it, but if it is someone else, will he use this kind of dependence to do things that are not good for Gong Xiaobai?

This may not be the case.

"Auntie, I see. I just complain because my head hurts from thinking about it."

"But having said that, where did Uncle go? Why hasn't he come back after going out for several months? My mother's belly is much bigger now, and she's still worrying about him every day." Gong Xiaobai complained.

"Ghost knows where this guy has gone crazy." Mei Mei said angrily.

Yiyi Yaya and Luoluo sisters also showed resentful expressions at this time.

"Auntie, you said you haven't heard from Uncle for so long, will he..."

Speaking of this, Gong Xiaobai had a bad association.

Sister Luoluo showed a worried expression when she heard this.

But Mei Mei and Yiyi Yaya are not worried at all.

Because of the contract signed with Chen Fang, they could vaguely feel that the connection with Chen Fang was still there, so they naturally knew that nothing happened to him.

"He's fine, don't worry about him. For a person like him, all the people on the mainland will die, but he will still be alive and kicking. To worry about that, we might as well worry about ourselves." Charming said angrily.

Gong Xiaobai and others couldn't laugh or cry when they heard this.
