As soon as Zhongli Changze entered the room, he found that the three elders, Gao Han, were still looking at him strangely, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
It's been a few days, how come they still remember what happened last time? He only mentioned it once, and then he changed his words. He felt confused and aggrieved.
"Is there any news?" Gao Han was not surprised at all to see that he was not surprised at all.
Zhongli Changze couldn't help but secretly ask, "Why do Aunt Gao and the others look at me in such a strange way?"
Hearing this, Gao Han secretly glanced at Zhongli Tingzhou. He didn't know how to comfort Zhongli Changze, who admired him, since he had even betrayed his own nephew. After thinking about it, he decided that it would be better not to let him know the truth.
Zhongli Changze would never have thought that half an hour ago, when Yuan Tianping asked Zhongli Tingzhou about his family calling Gao Han "Auntie", he completely denied it.
"It's okay, it will be fine in two days." Gao Han said.
Zhongli Changze said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. He quickly told them the good news, "My uncle asked me to tell you that the sanctions against the Yuan family have been issued. There are two good news."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over, even Zhongli Tingzhou, who seemed to have no emotion, raised his head.
"It will definitely be a severe punishment." Zhongli Tingzhou sneered.
Zhongli Changze smiled and said, "Yes, it is a heavy fine. This time, the Yuan family will not only give up the market share they have devoured before, but also pay a large sum of money to compensate all the soul refiners and soldiers who died in City No. 2, as well as the repair of City No. 2. At the same time, they will also pay a large fine to the government. It is said that the fine will be as high as 200 billion."
This was beyond Gao Han's expectations. Although the Yuan family was rich, a fine of 200 billion in cash alone was unprecedented.
"Will the Yuan family accept the punishment?" Gao Han frowned, fearing that the Yuan family would find a way to default on the debt. After all, two hundred billion is not a small amount.
"You can't refuse to accept the penalty. Two hundred billion is actually nothing to the Yuan family. You have to know that the Yuan family has occupied the weapon refining market for decades, and the profit they make every year is as high as tens of billions."
"Although the market share of the Yuan family gradually decreased due to increasing competition, they can still come up with 200 billion yuan, but it will be a bit of a rip-off, but that's just a side effect."
Speaking of this, Zhongli Changze's smile became even brighter.
"Do you mean market share?" Gao Han asked sharply.
Zhongli Changze nodded, "That's right. The share of the weapon refining market is the main source of income for the Yuan family. Only by reducing their share can we truly suppress the Yuan family."
This is the real purpose of the Zhongli family and the Sima family.
Over the years, although the military and major families have managed to squeeze out some shares from the Yuan family, the majority of the profits are still in the hands of the Yuan family. Without shaking the foundation of the Yuan family, there is no way to truly damage the Yuan family.
Before the sanctions came down, Gao Han had already guessed that the military and major families would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"What's the other good news?"
"The Yuan family is probably going to lose another strong man." The reason why Zhongli Changze said "again" was because Gao Han had just killed Yuan Huzi and three others not long ago.
"What do you mean?" Gao Han asked.
Zhongli Changze explained: "The reason why Sima Ye's uncle Sima Mingxue died together with a high-level mutant creature at that time was because of Yuan Zhengzhi, who was Yuan Zhengshan's younger brother with the same father and mother."
“That day, Yuan Zhengzhi had a clear chance to stop a high-level mutant from breaking through the defense line, but because of the grudges and fights between the families, he deliberately let the high-level mutant break through.
Sima Mingxue was originally outnumbered two at the time. In order to stop the advanced mutant creature from destroying and killing, he was severely injured by his opponent.
After being seriously injured, he can no longer fight one-on-two.
In order to relieve the pressure on other strong men, Sima Ye's uncle rushed towards the three advanced mutant creatures and blew himself up.
His self-destruction successfully took away one advanced mutant creature, and the other two advanced mutant creatures, one was slightly injured and the other was seriously injured.
In the end, if it weren’t for Sima Ye’s uncle, the losses and casualties in City No. 2 would have been much greater.”
Gao Han never went to inquire about it, but he didn't expect the process to be so tragic. Sima Ye's uncle must have committed suicide out of grief and anger.
Faced with a powerful enemy, humans still have the mind to fight among themselves, even at the cost of sacrificing so many people.
"Sima Ye's uncle is a strong man worthy of admiration." Gao Han was deeply moved.
"Of course, Sima Ye's uncle has always been a generous and unrestrained strong man. Who would have thought that his sacrifice was not purely for the sake of mankind, but was forced by mankind itself."
Sima Ye’s uncle actually didn’t need to be sacrificed.
"Will Yuan Zhengshan hand over Yuan Zhengzhi?" Gao Han remembered that blood ties were of no use in the Yuan family. If someone died, no one in the Yuan family would blink an eye.
"Not necessarily. Yuan Zhengshan doesn't have much understanding for other members of the Yuan family, including his own children, but he is quite nice to Yuan Zhengzhi."
This involves other things. Zhongli Changze knows that they don’t understand, so he explains it.
"Yuan Zhengzhi's talent is not as good as Yuan Zhengshan's. He has the strength of first-class cultivation, all thanks to Yuan Zhengshan's use of resources.
But Yuan Zhengzhi has a role that others do not have, and that is his loyalty to Yuan Zhengshan. It doesn't matter who comes to power between the two brothers.
After Yuan Zhengshan came to power, Yuan Zhengzhi became a powerful man after he used his resources to help him do many shady things in private. "
Gao Han nodded slightly, "So, you think Yuan Zhengshan won't hand over Yuan Zhengzhi, right?"
"It is very likely, because Yuan Zhengzhi knows a lot of private matters about Yuan Zhengshan, or the Yuan family. Once he is forced to reveal the secrets, it will be disadvantageous to both the Yuan family and Yuan Zhengshan."
A hint of cunning flashed in Zhongli Changze's eyes.
"But no matter how unwilling Yuan Zhengshan is, he has no choice. If he is unwilling to hand it over, the military will force the Yuan family to execute the order. Of course, if the other party resists..."
"Will you kill him on the spot?" Gao Han asked with narrowed eyes.
Zhongli Changze groaned, "I'm not sure about this. Uncle didn't say, but it should be possible."
"No." Zhongli Tingzhou's affirmative voice sounded, and it was obvious that he knew more than Zhongli Changze.
Gao Han asked: "How can you be sure that it won't happen?"
Zhongli Changze also looked at him eagerly.
Zhongli Tingzhou yawned. "Because the government will not waste the resources of a top-tier warrior and let him die in a human internal fight. If a criminal is to die, they must die on the battlefield."
Gao Han suddenly thought of a question, "How can the government ensure that they will not escape halfway?"
Zhongli Tingzhou chuckled, "Dear, have you forgotten that there is another method called high technology?"
Gao Han raised his eyebrows. Of course he had not forgotten, but there was no signal at all in the main disaster area. Could the high technology still be used there?
"Of course we can't use the technological means available on the market. Over the years, the government has conducted a lot of research in this area, so it's normal to have some results," said Zhongli Tingzhou.
"I know this. I heard that the government releases a group of soul-refining prisoners to the main disaster areas every year. However, they will place some high-tech devices in their bodies beforehand. Once they try to escape or rebel, the devices in their bodies will explode." Zhongli Changze continued with great interest.
Zhongli Tingzhou nodded slightly, "That's right, but the first-class strongmen are the most powerful strongmen on Earth after all, so in addition to high-tech means, they will also send a first-class strongman to watch them. If the other party has any strange behavior, the strong man who is watching will immediately detonate the device in his body."
The government has played a good hand by making the best use of resources.
After the news of the government's sanctions against the Yuan family spread, it was posted on major portals.
Most people ignored the Yuan family's share of the equipment refining market and were truly shocked by the 200 billion yuan fine.
"The Yuan family is so rich!"
"I've never seen what 100 million looks like in my life, let alone 200 million."
"Upstairs, it's 200 billion."
"I just want to express how far away 200 billion is~"
"Although this also means that the Yuan family has plundered countless people's money over the years, seeing this fine still makes people feel happy!"
"It's very satisfying +1."
“+1，袁家真是活该。”
民心所向，袁家一倒霉，几乎全世界都在欢呼，仔细看还有一部分外国网民，居然也很讨厌袁家。
大家一问候，才知道袁家这些年也有出口一部分法器，定的价格极其高昂，其利润至少是国内的一两倍，要知道，袁家在国内卖的价格，本身就不低了。
袁家。
政府的罚单出来后，所有来主宅的袁家人，包括角落里的下人都不敢再聊天，所有人大气不敢喘一下，偶尔听到楼上传来砸东西的声音。
“混账！混账！”
管家第一次看到家主气成这样，不对，或许应该说，自从高寒出现后，家主生气的频率，以及打破以往所有第一次的次数，越来越多了。
前不久家主生气的时候，他还觉得这应该是家主最生气的一次，没想到，没有最，只有更。
“他们居然敢，敢开我的罚单！”袁争山抓紧政府刚开出的罚单，揉成一团扔了出去。
书房里的人，纷纷像块石头一样杵着，不敢走，更不敢动弹。
谁也没有去捡那张罚单，因为他们知道，家主正在气头上，谁捡谁倒霉。
就在这时，书房外传来一阵砰砰砰的急促脚步声。
大家还在想是谁胆子这么大，往门口一看，是袁争志。
这个时候想来也只有他有这个胆子了。
“哥，你不会真的要把我交出去吧？”袁争志着急地问道。
袁争山阴着脸，没有立刻说话。
袁争志却更急了，“哥，你可不能真让我去送死，一旦交给军部手里，我就死定了，他们一定会让我去杀高等变异生物，直到死在变异生物爪下为止，哥，你千万要救我啊！”
袁争山突然操起桌上的东西，却捞空了，才想起东西整张办公桌都被他砸碎了，又将地上的东西扫到他身上。
“你他妈还好意思来找我！要不是你在二号城弄出来的乱子，袁家会被开出两千亿，还有要求我们让出百分之二十的市场份额？这他妈都是因为你！”
袁争山吼得脖子和脸上的青筋出来了，一突一突的，青紫交错，极其狰狞可憎。
袁争志微懵，旋即呐呐道：“我也没想到会闹这么大啊，司马家是故意利用司马铭学的牺牲，联合军部和钟离家，针对袁家的！”
袁争山咬牙切齿，脸红脖子粗，“是，而你把把柄亲自送到他们手里！”
袁争志不甘地说道，“当时的情况，我也没有办法吧，谁知道，司马铭学居然那么决绝。”
“我不想听解释！”袁争山怒道。
袁争志还是第一次看到他哥发这么大的脾气，他从来看到的，都是一个对所有事情都运筹帷幄的家主和哥哥。
袁争山平复着怒火，“这次，我救不了你，到军部后，记得别说些不该说的话。”
袁争志瞪大眼睛，“哥，你真的不救我了吗，要眼睁睁看着我去死？”
袁争山额头抽动。
“军部如何对待犯人，你应该比我更清楚才对，他们一定会让我去主灾区，替他们征战，直到死为止。”袁争山不甘地说道，任谁知道自己去了，结局都是死，都无法淡定。
袁争山知道自己这个弟弟很忠诚，唯独过于愚蠢，“你难道就不会动动自己的脑子想想，到了主灾区，再想办法逃不会吗？！”
知道还有活命的机会，袁争志无所谓被骂，“我知道了哥，你可千万别放弃我啊。”
袁争山冷哼一声，要不是看在培养一个一等强者不容易，现在的局势，也不容他再损失手底下的强者，他不会因为袁争志是他弟弟，害袁家损失惨重，就网开一面。
袁争志却喜滋滋的以为，是因为自己是袁争山的弟弟，才有这样的特权。
