Zhang Xing didn't pay any attention to their pretentious performance and walked inside.
Bu Fan hurriedly chased after Zhang Xing and was half a step behind him. He introduced the place to Zhang Xing as he walked.
The other elders of the family followed behind the officials and did not dare to make a sound.
Two hours later, when Zhang Xing and the rest came out from their patrol in the mine, they saw a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the mine. They seemed to be arguing about something.
Looking at Bu Fan, Murphy was displeased, "Patriarch Bu Fan, there are a lot of things happening in your mine."
Bu Fan's face immediately darkened, "I'll deal with it right away, right away!"
He knew exactly what was happening outside. It was the Abner family looking for trouble again.
A hundred years ago, the two families were on good terms. Since the discovery of the green jade mine, the two families began to fight openly and covertly for the sake of profit, until they were like fire and water.
As it was underground mining, the boundaries between the two families were not easily defined. They would often mine too much, so the two families often fought.
There would be a small fight almost every month, and it had not been resolved for decades.
"It's so noisy. What's going on?"
Bu Fan asked with his hands behind his back.
"Hmph!
Bu Fan, you're here. I'm here to talk to you. "
The crowd outside the entrance parted, and a man in his fifties walked out.
The man was the patriarch of the Abner family, Western Australia.
"Western Australia, why are you looking for me? What's there to talk about? Just fight if you're not happy."
Bu Fan sneered.
Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. He did not expect to meet Western Australia here. Could it be that he had heard some news and came to see the City Lord?
"Let's fight, we're not afraid of you. We'll definitely fight today, but we have to make things clear."
"Your Abner family has gone too far this time. How dare you collapse our mine? Do you still have any rules?"
"If this is the case, neither of us will be able to mine the green jade."
Western Australia was wearing a black robe and holding a jade staff in his hand. He was furious.
"What?
How come I didn't know about this? "
Bu Fan was surprised and turned to look at Steward Marlow.
As soon as he heard that it was such a small matter, he felt relieved. As long as it was not to see the City Lord, anything could be discussed.
"Lord Clan Head, there is indeed such a matter, but I haven't had the time to report it yet …"
Ma Luo's face was still swollen as he squeezed out a smile.
"I think it was an accident. We didn't do it on purpose. I promise it won't happen again."
Bu Fan waved his hand and vowed solemnly.
"You promise?
Bu Fan, it's easy for you to say, but it's not like you don't know how much a mine loses.
For the next ten years, you will have to pay for the taxes paid to the City Lord's Mansion! "
Western Australia's face was full of disdain and his tone was sharp.
"Ten years?
Western Australia has a lot of resources. Only you can think of something like that. You can still continue mining after cleaning up your mine. You won't lose much. Isn't this a little too much? "
Bu Fan said coldly.
"Hmph!
Ten years of profits and taxes isn't much. It's not even comparable to a month's profit.
You have two choices. Either we destroy one of your mines, or you pay the tax for me! "
Western Australia's face was flushed red. His voice got louder and louder as he spoke. Perhaps everyone in the mining area could hear him.
Bu Fan's face turned pale with fright when he heard that. He kept winking at Western Australia.
Western Australia, you have such a big mouth. You're in deep trouble now. The City Lord is listening at the side.
Ten years of profits and taxes can't even compare to a month's profit. What do you want the City Lord to think when he hears this?
However, Western Australia could not understand his actions. He looked at him with a strange expression.
