Danmen Green was well aware of the meaning behind Pedy's words, and he kept his mouth shut against saying anything about it.

Peddy, who was sitting in an office chair, didn't ask Danmen Green's opinion, he looked at the few papers on the desk that hadn't dried well and asked, "Hades is okay now." ”

"Due to the presence of Baron Jay Gero, there was a slight change in the plan for the 'capture', and he withdrew with the defenders of the fortress to Fort Byan. Danmen Green leaned down and stretched out his hand, flipped out a few papers on Pedy's desk and placed it on top, "This has a detailed report from our agents. ”

Pedi only glanced at the report and stopped paying attention, because he knew very well that Hades was very complete at the moment. As long as he didn't really tear his face with Been Castle, even if Jack Borg suspected that the fall of the Gula Mountain Fortress had something to do with Hades, he wouldn't have done anything to him.

"You can go down first. Pedi put all the papers Danmen Green had brought with him in a drawer. Obviously, the young ruler's concern now was not the war between Harrensburg and Beenburg.

As Baron Danmen turned to leave, Pedi said, "Call Lord Edwin Film, the Commissioner of Excess, here." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

...

Two hours later, a full two hours after Danmen Green left, Sir Edwin appeared in Pedy's office when the sky was full of red clouds.

"I'm very sorry, sir. Edwin Filmin was sweating profusely and spoke with a noticeable heaviness, he was so tired that he wanted to gasp for air, but he was forced to hold back because of the occasion. With a flushed face, he explained, "I'm visiting a nearby village outside of Crewe..."

"Sir, I didn't call you to report today..."Pedy didn't mean to blame the other party, he pulled out a stack of unbreakable brown paper from the desk file as Edwin spoke, he looked at it twice, threw it on the other end of the desk, and near Edwin Film, said, "Look at this document." ”

Edwin didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest, he picked up the file as fast as he could...

The class in the file is written in cipher, but there are notes next to it, so it doesn't affect the reading, but it looks a little strenuous.

What was written on the paper surprised Edwin, but it wasn't too surprising.

As soon as Edwin put down the papers, Pedi asked, "What do you think about this?"

"This—" Edwin said after a moment's hesitation, a little uncertain, "the money earned by merchants always smells of blood, just like the big fish in the sea always make the surface of the sea glow with scarlet blood when they hunt for food. ”

"I'm asking what to think of Sir Derick Denny and their family's Chamber of Commerce!" Peddy pointed to the pile of papers on his desk with his right hand, "It's all the police department's investigation report on the Danny Chamber of Commerce, including the report of your Ocean House Chamber of Commerce. As he spoke, he slapped his hand on the table, "I don't need to listen to your ocean stories and tell me what these reports are about?"

"My lord, the Ocean House is only trading with the mages of Eternal Wings, and we have never sold a single piece of prohibited goods to the Eloke Leader...", Edwin's voice was fast and loud.

The papers on the table were grabbed by Pedi and thrown directly in Edwin's face.

The anger on Pei Di's face, who was still pleasant a moment ago, instantly rose, "I don't care about your deal, even if you sell half of the weapons and equipment of the Kru Collar to the Aluk Collar, as long as you get back the goods of the same value for me, I can turn a blind eye!" He stood up and pointed to the papers scattered all over the ground and asked coldly, "I just want to ask you, is Daric Nick the one who led the rebels in Aluk?"

"This..."

"For the sake of the gods, you give me a truthful answer!"

"I really don't know this..."The sweat on Edwin's forehead seeped out again, he subconsciously wiped his forehead and said: "Before the Elok Leader rebelled, Sir Deric did often have close contacts with the people of the Central Imperial Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and for a while he served as a director of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but he soon stepped down, and later... Later, a rebellion broke out in the Iruk Territory, and several large merchants in the Krwe Territory approached Sir Derrick and asked him to contact the Elok rebels to do business. ”

"I said I didn't care about your business, and Kreul needs time to deal with internal problems now. So, I can give time to relax the trade with the rebels led by Elok. "But I can't tolerate you doing it behind my back, and I can't tolerate the people who love Elok to tease me like a clown!"

"I didn't dare to tease you in Krew, my lord. Edwin looked at Pedi and said, "There must be some misunderstanding in this. ”

"Do you think I'm funny, or do you think you're the smartest in the whole Krewe Territory?"

Edwin immediately lowered his head when he heard Pedy's tone of voice as if he was smiling, lowering his eyelids and not daring to look at Pedi.

Pedi stared at Edwin's appearance for a few seconds, then took a deep breath and forced his anger to leave his desk, walked to the side wine cabinet, turned out two glasses and a bottle of red wine, and asked, "Would you like some?"

Edwin lowered his eyelids and looked at the wine in Pedy's hand, confused by the sudden invitation of the young man in front of him.

"Don't want to drink?"

The middle-aged nobleman looked at the two glasses that had already poured the wine and knew that he couldn't refuse, so he said humbly: "How come, this is the sunset red of Felder's collar, and now it is no longer visible on the market." ”

Pedi pointed to one of the cups, "Then take it yourself." With that, he walked over to the guest couch in the corner and sat down under the magic lamp.

"I know that the empire of today is something that many people want to think about. Pedi motioned for Edwin to sit across from him, "I tried to have a good conversation with the nobles in the realm, but they only used the patriarchal system to choke the conversation! Damn, I admit that our ancestors were once great, but that's a thing of the past, we have to change, you know, we have to change!"

"I have always supported your reforms, my lord. Edwin didn't know why Pedi would suddenly bring up these issues, but it certainly wouldn't be wrong to say it appropriately.

"It's not my reform, Sir, it's our reform. "Our reforms have made business easier, haven't we?"

"Yes..."

"But our reforms require a relatively stable governing body, don't we?"

"Yes!"

"I wanted them to keep up with me. Petdy raised his glass, "But they turned a blind eye to the conditions I offered...", he continued after taking a sip of his drink, "I know, you all call me a dictator behind your back." ”

"Locke the Great was also a dictator, but he built a great empire. Edwin took a sip and said, "My lord, you need not worry about this. ”

"No, I've never been bothered by that. Pedi put the glass on the small wooden table with white lacquer, stared at Edwin and said, "It will take a little time for the internal reform of the Crewe Territory, so I can let your trade with the Elok Territory go in exchange for the peace of the southwest of the Crewe Territory... I can even put up with the provocations of the elven fleet in the southeast seas, spending huge sums of money in exchange for calm on the seas. ”

"The rebels of the Eluk Empire want to overthrow the rule of the Central Empire, my own sister is now the Emperor of the Empire, and my father, the Duke of Krew, is now in the Imperial Capital. Pedi's voice grew louder and louder, "And what are we doing? We're funding the enemies of the Empire, helping them expand their armies and stock up on supplies!"

"What are we doing all this for?" Peddy glared at Edwin with a golden glint in his eyes, "For the sake of this reform, for the sake of the Crewe Territory, and for the Reagan family to continue in the next turmoil, we even betrayed the interests of the Empire." ”

"I never deceive myself, this is turmoil, turmoil on the whole continent! No one knows when this turmoil will end, and no one knows what will happen in the next second! The turbulent situation makes careerists ready to move, and countless eyes are looking at the lord's throne below my ass!"

"My lord—" Edwin only felt a little prickly under the cushion under his butt, and he didn't want to listen any longer.

Pedi didn't give Edwin a chance to speak, but he didn't continue the topic just now, he stared at Edwin and said, "I betrayed others, but it doesn't mean that I can tolerate others betraying me and the interests of Kruling... You can't tolerate your subordinates betraying you, can you?"

"My father's order to me is that anyone who stands in the way of the rise of the Crewe Leader is an enemy of the Reagan family, and even Fort Crane, Hallensburg, and Beenburg, who have followed the Reagan family for more than 200 years, can I give it up, let alone a chamber of commerce?"

"My lord..."Edwin put down his glass, looked serious and knelt on one knee to say, "The Ocean House Chamber of Commerce, and my family will always follow you, be loyal to you, and never question your orders!"

"Put away your merchant set, it's just the two of us here, sir! besides, your loyalty is of no value to me. Pei Di didn't believe that just two words of his own could make the other party loyal to him, but he also believed that the warning just now was enough to make the other party jealous for a while.

After a brief silence, Pedi looked at Edwin, who was on one knee and said, "The order to make you the Treasurer will be given soon, and your first task is to find Daric Danny and tell him to tell him to get out of here, just say this is what I meant!"

Sir Edwin's face tensed instantly, and he looked at the military boots that were faintly visible across the small white square table, and said in a reverent tone when he prayed to the goddess, "I will tell Sir Derick word for word." ”

"In the future, we will only trade with the Eternal Wing Mage Tower. Pedi continued: "In the future, I will leave the matter to you in full charge, and in the meantime, I will have the police department send a commissioner to assist you. ”

Edwin was shocked, and was about to come down when Pedi continued: "After settling the matter of Sir Derrick, you will immediately rush to the northern official road!"

With that, Pedi picked up his glass and touched it lightly on Edwin's glass, "Drink the wine, stand down." ”

The soft sound of the 'ding' glass causing Edwin to look up, and he saw Pedy's back holding the glass. The clever Edwin immediately put aside the complicated thoughts in his mind, picked up the wine glass, drained the red wine in the glass, and left the office silently.
