Earl Hornby didn't expect Evan to say this, he thought the other party would reply angrily: If I destroy the IOU, it means that the IOU is genuine, and all the grain in the warehouse will be given to you.

At that time, he will be able to use some small means to make the IOU self-destruct in the hands of the other party, so that he will be dumb and unable to speak of his suffering.

However, if Evan can be the director of the Pantuocheng branch of the Army, Navy and Air Joint Chamber of Commerce, how can he be a fool without brains, and he will definitely not say such idiotic and unspeakable words.

So the two sides confronted each other like this, and the scene suddenly fell into a stalemate.

As the saying goes: a strong dragon does not crush the head snake.

Earl Hornby also thinks so, with his title as the leader of the Pearl County Anti-Demon Alliance, he will somewhat make those hillbillies in Gannan Province jealous.

And he just robbed the other party's food, even if the other party was dissatisfied, he would not move the crowd to come to trouble him.

Even if things get big in the end, it's a big deal to lose money.

However, he had forgotten that the last Earl of Shelley, who had the same idea, had already smiled at Jiuquan.

Of course, his behavior is understandable, if there is no such food, I am afraid that in a few days he and his subordinates will be hungry.

Be a soldier and eat food, eat food and be a soldier.

If even the most basic conditions can't be met, what reason does he have to take command of the thousands of people below?

Thinking about this, Earl Hornby hardened again, took out an IOU and smashed it in Director Evan's face: "Then let you see clearly." ”

Evan subconsciously dodged to the side, and finally found that this fluttering IOU was not lethal, and he couldn't help but blush slightly.

Catching the IOU that was about to fall to the ground, he unfolded it and read it carefully.

The content of the IOU is very simple, it is nothing more than that he borrowed 2,000 gold coins from the Pearl County Anti-Demon Alliance on a certain day of a certain year, month, and a certain day, and stipulated that it would be repaid after three months, and the payment was in Evan's own name.

Seeing this, he suddenly burst into joy.

The other party is very careful about fraud, but there are many flaws exposed.

For example, the borrower is actually Evan himself, not the Army, Navy and Air Joint Chamber of Commerce.

Furthermore, Evan's great-grandfather was a merchant in the Duchy of Patrick, a country that has a tradition of putting his mother's surname in the middle of his first name.

For example, Evan, his mother's surname is Steve, his father's surname is Shamen, and his full name is Evan Steve Shamen.

However, if you look at this IOU, it clearly says Evan Shamen, which is the abbreviation he uses to introduce himself, and if it is signed, he always writes his name in full.

After looking at it for a long time, Evan threw the IOU back with a disdainful expression and said, "This IOU is fake." ”

Earl Hornby naturally knew that it was fake, but how could he admit it, and said pretending to be angry when he heard this: "You are talking nonsense, this IOU was obviously written by you, and the officials of the city hall testified, how can it be fake." ”

As he spoke, he dragged out two trembling city hall staff members from the side and asked sharply, "You say, did he write this IOU?"

Where have the two city hall staff seen this kind of battle, they have long been frightened by the six gods, and they were scolded like this, and they nodded busily: "That's right! That's right!"

Earl Hornby nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Evan and asked, "Now what else do you have to say?"

Evan ignored him, looked at the two city hall staff members with the same ferocity, and asked in the same stern tone, "Say, is this IOU forged by them?" ”

He had been in the position of branch director for two years, and he had some majesty, and there were hundreds of wolf-like soldiers standing behind him, and the two staff members were almost crying when he asked him like this.

One of the city hall staff immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Two lords, please be merciful and spare me." ”

They now finally understand what it means for gods to fight and mortals to suffer.

The two of them are also considered to be figures with heads and faces in the city hall, and they usually see the neighbors always put on a posture with their eyes above the top, but now standing in front of the real magnates, they realize what it is to sit in a well and watch the sky.

Seeing this, Earl Hornby waved his hand in disgust, signaling that the two of them could get out.

The two city hall staff members were suddenly amnestied and fled from this place of right and wrong.

Seeing this, Director Evan smiled and said, "Your Excellency, your witnesses are gone. ”

Earl Hornby sneered, he looked around, and after finding that there were no outsiders in the whole street, he completely tore his face: "So what, Lao Tzu put his words here, I must transport the grain today." ”

Hearing this, not only Evan's face changed suddenly, but even Earl Thompson, who had never spoken next to him, frowned slightly.

As a veteran aristocrat in Pearl County, he is very reluctant to work with this kind of person who has no background, no grace, and no self-cultivation.

However, the situation is stronger than people, and through this demonic disaster, Earl Hornby quickly rose to become a powerful lord, and even he had to snort at him.

Thinking of this, Earl Thompson sighed silently, and finally chose to remain silent.

Lieutenant Colonel Soxi listened to the side for a long time, and finally realized that these people were actually blatantly extorting.

He has a hot temper, coupled with good strength, and now he is in the high position of the deputy head of the regiment, where can he bear it, he raised his hand and smashed it towards the front door of Earl Hornby: "Dog's day's miscellaneous!"

It came down so suddenly, no one reacted, and Earl Hornby was struck directly in the door, and then fell straight down.

Looking at his sunken face, you can see that the bridge of his nose must be broken.

The other party raised his hand to solve his own boss, no one gave orders, and the soldiers on the opposite side were directly stunned, not knowing what to do.

Do it? Or go back and wake up the boss first?

Their lack of action does not mean that Lieutenant Colonel Soxi has no movement, he used to be a mercenary, he is familiar with the routine of group fighting, and knows the truth of taking advantage of your illness to kill you.

He immediately opened his mouth and shouted: "Brothers, what are you doing in a daze!

As soon as the words fell, he took the lead in raising his fist and rushed forward.

Not to be outdone, Gan Nanxing's logistics soldiers raised their casserole-sized fists and smashed them at the closest opponent.

In an instant, people turned on their backs.

Fortunately, there was Count Thompson on the other side to maintain order, so there was no sign of a rout.

However, as an old aristocrat, he remembered that the war was either a duel between the lords of the two sides, or a good war book, a battle arranged and then a war, and he had never experienced such a random street fight.

Therefore, in addition to ordering everyone not to run, he did not know how to organize a counterattack.

And just like that, extremely ridiculous scenes appeared on the streets.

Hundreds of stubborn soldiers raised their fists to beat opponents several times their own, and the opponents had no power to fight back except for holding their heads, and even if a few people wanted to fight back, they were knocked out by a few old punches.

The soldiers who were squatting on the ground wanted to take the opportunity to find the field, but when they saw this scene, they squatted down honestly again, revealing an expression that they had nothing to do with themselves.

In the castle of the lords, Merman and Count Eliot had a great conversation.

At this moment, the guards suddenly hurriedly reported: "Your Excellency, your Excellency, there are two staff members of the Army, Navy and Air Chamber of Commerce outside the door, saying that they want to see His Excellency Merman." ”

Earl Eliot blinked when he heard this, looked at the sky outside, and found that the sun had already set, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "I forgot the time when I was talking about business." ”

"Well, Lord Merman, you go and take care of your own business first, and if there is nothing important, please come back for a light dinner, I have been preparing this dinner for a long time. ”

Merman naturally didn't dare to refuse the kind invitation of this feudal official, he nodded and smiled: "If there is nothing important, I'm afraid I will disturb His Excellency the Commander." ”

As he spoke, he slowly got up: "I'll go back when I go." ”

Count Eliot also got up, ordered the servants to remove the tea, and began to prepare the dinner.

Immediately afterward, he personally sent Merman to the castle gates.

Naturally, he did this not to value Merman, but to look at the grain and Renard's face.

At this time, there were two people who looked like little servants at the gate of the garden, and they looked a little anxious, pacing back and forth, beating their hands and stomping their feet from time to time.

Merman immediately recognized the other party's identity, which was the two staff members of the Army, Navy and Air Joint Chamber of Commerce in Pantuo City.

Judging by their appearance, they should have encountered some kind of problem.

Merman took a few steps forward and asked, "Why are you two here?

When the two little servants saw him come out, they said anxiously: "You can come out, go back and take a look, something is wrong." ”

Merman was shocked when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice, "Don't worry, tell me what happened." ”

As he spoke, he walked with the two of them in the direction of the Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing that he was in such a hurry that Count Eliot didn't even have time to say hello, his brows furrowed slightly, he stretched out his hand to call the guards next to him, and ordered, "You go and see what happened." ”

He vaguely felt that this incident might have something to do with the grain that had just arrived today.

Thinking of the hungry people who didn't have enough to eat in the city, he couldn't help but get nervous, and added, "Bring more people with you." ”

The guards nodded yes, and then ran to the nearby Eastern Army garrison and summoned dozens of people to follow.

Along the way, the two little guys told me what had happened.

Naturally, they didn't know that the two sides had already fought a lot, but they only said that Earl Hornby and Earl Thompson had ordered people to come and make trouble, and there was some skirmishing between the two sides.

Merman listened to the description of the two, his brows furrowed more and more, and finally his whole face was gloomy and could drip water: "Damn dog, is this trying to provoke us in Gannan Province?" ”

As he spoke, his pace gradually quickened, leaving the two little servants far behind.
