Mo Fan was hoping to use his connections with the Dongfang Clan to solve his problem, but it turned out that the Dongfang Clan was holding a grudge against Jiang Xia too!
"I have a close friend in the government, I will ask him about the tax first. We should be able to get rid of it if it's not reasonable," Mo Fan said.
"Please do! I'll think of a way to solve your problem. Our clan still has some old people that Jiang Xia has to give some face to," Dongfang Lie said.
Mo Fan's close friend in Hangzhou was obviously Councilman Zhu Meng. Even though Zhu Meng was from the Ancient Capital, he had established some connections in Hangzhou since the plague incident. He would know something about the tax implemented on the Steel Rock.
Zhu Meng happened to be in Hangzhou, too. Mo Fan went straight to see him. There was no need to be courteous with him!
