Lu Jiuye nodded and said to Zhang Fan: "in this case, let's disperse now. First, we'll make a thorough investigation of the houses here, collect all the problems, and see when it's most appropriate to start."
"Good." Yan Fei agreed, turned and walked towards the distance, began to investigate this matter, and also made a further understanding of the whole city of Los Angeles.
Lu Jiuye was a little worried about Cheng Bo. He was afraid of his impulse, so he said he could work with Cheng Bo, so that Cheng Bo would not be able to control his hatred and do anything impulsive.
Long Xue and Zhang Fan naturally began to stroll in Los Angeles, went downtown, bought some things, and observed everything here.
"I haven't been to Los Angeles for a long time. It seems that the change here is not big. It's just a tall building. It's not much different from when I was a child." Long Xue looks at everything around and says to Zhang Fan.
"So you used to come to Los Angeles when you were a child?" Zhang Fan asked Longxue casually.
Long Xue nodded and said to Zhang Fan, "yes, when I was young, the first thing I did was to come to Los Angeles, because at that time, I had the impression that Los Angeles was much bigger than our dragon family, and there would be a lot of delicious and interesting things in it. My father would always bring me here at that time."
"Yes? Why didn't you come for a long time? As far as I know, the master of the dragon family is just in a short period of time Zhang Fan is somewhat curious in his heart and asks long Xue.
Long Xue sighed a little and said with a dejected expression: "that's because before, the long family cooperated with some shops in Los Angeles, but later, these shops were purchased by the royal family, and the cooperation with our long family became more demanding. My father thought there was no profit, so he gave up."
At this time, they came to a large herbal medicine shop. Zhang Fan looked up and said to long Xue, "let's go in and have a look. Recently, Du Qiu's mother is weak and needs some tonics. We can just buy some for him."
Long Xue nodded slightly, followed Zhang Fan, and walked towards the medicine shop in front.
Entering the drugstore, a very strong fragrance of medicine came to my nose. The staff in the store also ran over enthusiastically and asked Zhang Fan and long Xue what they needed to buy.
Zhang Fan then said some medicines that can replenish qi and blood. He asked the man to prepare them. Together with long Xue, he drank tea and waited in the drugstore.
Soon, the man found all the tonics Zhang Fan needed, packed them and handed them to Zhang Fan respectfully.
Zhang Fan nodded, put these tonics into his storage space ring, first went to the counter to clear the money of these herbs, then Zhang Fan took out some spirit stones and handed them to the man.
Seeing these spirit stones in Zhang Fan's hands, the man was surprised. He never thought that one day he could have such spirit stones. He waved his hand to Zhang Fan and said, "no, no, my guest, I can't have your spirit stone."
Zhang Fan laughed and said to the man, "you don't have to be nervous. I won't let you take these spirit stones for nothing. I just want to ask you a few questions. If you can really answer them, then these spirit stones are yours. Equal trading is reasonable."
After listening to Zhang Fan's words, the man thought about it, nodded to Zhang Fan and said, "if you have any words, please ask. If there is anything I know, I will say everything."
Zhang Fan nodded slightly and asked the man, "I want to ask who lives in the tall building in the distance, when they came here, and what influence does this person have when he came to Los Angeles?"
The man sighed slightly and said to Zhang Fan, "to tell you the truth, these people have been in Los Angeles for some time. This building used to be a house of the ninth Prince of the royal family, and the ninth Prince's people have been in charge of it all the time."
After a pause, the man continued to say to Zhang Fan: "but since a guy named Ni Fei came, he lived in the house of the ninth Lord. At the same time, he also took over the whole city of Los Angeles, and then instantly doubled the tax revenue in the city of Los Angeles. The people in the whole city of Los Angeles are full of complaints and suffering."
After listening to the man's words, both long Xue and Zhang Fan frowned. Zhang Fan continued to ask the man, "since the exorbitant taxes and levies here are so high, why don't you leave here?"
The man shook his head and sighed again, and said to Zhang Fan, "we also want to leave here, but, my guest, have you noticed that the whole city of Los Angeles is heavily guarded. There are many people who have lived here all their lives and are not willing to leave this city. However, this city is no longer suitable for people to live in."
"Oh, by the way, when this guy named Ni Fei came to Los Angeles, the first thing he did was to conduct a census of all the families. It seemed ordinary, but in fact, they wanted to know all the circumstances of everyone's family here. However, this is the beginning of their plot.""Less than ten miles outside the city, there is a Lingshi mine. Ni Fei sent people to recruit some strong men to develop the Lingshi mine. Moreover, he gave a death order that every family must go to one person. Otherwise, he would disobey the order and kill all the people."
"So, in every family in Los Angeles, they have to send one person to the Lingshi mine, where they are not allowed to come out. Otherwise, there will be no amnesty. In fact, to recruit some labor force is better to say that they want to lock up all the people as hostages."
Zhang Fan frowned, nodded and said: "according to this situation, there are many people who can't leave, but haven't you tried to resist?"
The guy showed a look of panic in his eyes, immediately made a silent gesture to Zhang Fan, and looked around to see if other people heard him.
exhaled a turbid breath, and the guy whispered to Zhang Fan: "I'll advise you to speak a little bit," said the chef. "In order not to be heard by some people, go back to tell Ni Fei about this matter. In that case, you can't protect your life. You don't know, but there are a lot of Ni Fei's eyeliner in the whole Luo city. If they were found, the guest officer would be hard to argue."
