Chapter 37: (1) Detective: Cold Water Ice
The morning sun shone on the earth, and there was a faint glow.
In the Yuhua Pavilion in Twilight Town, Leng Shuibing listened to his subordinates report on this month's financial situation.
Then I saw a shadow staggering across the door, and the little hand grabbed the little skirt and walked quickly to Leng Shuibing and said:
"Miss, did you know that the mayor of the town has sent all his soldiers out to sweep the beasts of the surrounding brute forest branches. ”
This shadow is the petite and cute Xiaoyi, I saw the other party's lips quickly close up and down, and the white and tender little face had a look of surprise.
"The mayor has gone to clean up the beasts, and the whole army is out together?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Leng Shuibing was about to scold the other party for his inappropriate manners, and then he was stunned for a moment, and asked with a somewhat surprised and puzzled look.
Then Leng Shuibing's expression gradually became solemn, and he fell into deep thought, considering the consequences of this incident and the various subsequent effects.
There's still a year left before the big cleaning, how could the mayor suddenly clean up the beasts ahead of schedule?
And it was his own side that acted alone, and he didn't notify his Yuhua Pavilion and the Salt Gang.
It stands to reason that since the clean-up operation began ten years ago, it has been a tripartite cooperation, and then it has acted together.
And every time the cleaning is carried out, it will bring benefits to all parties.
Whether it is the common people, the warriors, or the major commercial houses, they are all beneficiaries.
Because every time the cleaning will bring back a lot of beast corpses, resulting in a depreciation of the price, ordinary people can afford to grit their teeth and buy all kinds of things on the beast.
And the various forces that participated in the clean-up can get huge benefits by paying a small number of casualties, even for the three major forces in Twilight Town, it is a lot of income.
Moreover, there are only so many beasts in the branches of the Brute Forest and the edge of the outer area, and excessive cleaning will lead to no wild beasts in these places in the future.
Then everyone had to venture further into the outer area of the Brute Forest to hunt.
Entering the outer area of the Brute Forest to hunt, even the three major forces of Twilight Town would not dare to enter easily.
If one is not careful, they will be collectively wiped out, and such a price will definitely be a big loss for the three major forces, not to mention breaking their muscles and bones.
Moreover, a small team of ordinary martial artists did not dare to enter the outer area of the Brute Beast Forest at all, such a combination.
There will definitely be fewer and fewer beast products of all kinds in the Twilight Market.
Then the shops that deal in beasts will definitely close down quite a bit.
Thinking of this, Leng Shuibing stretched out his white, smooth, slender and slender right hand and rubbed his temples vigorously.
She couldn't figure it out at all, even if the mayor planned to eat alone, there was no need to do it.
She could understand if an outside force did this, and the outside force would not consider Twilighttown's interests.
After all, they don't live here, and outsiders can't hunt in large quantities at will, which can only be done with the consent of the local princes.
After all, everything within the jurisdiction belonged to the princes, at least nominally.
As for why the mayor would do this, she still couldn't figure it out.
While this can increase the mayor's income in the short term, it is not necessary for the long-term development of Twilight Town to clean up frequently.
This will affect the resources of nearby beasts, after all, Twilight Town has not many resources in the first place, and the beast herds are one of the main resources.
Usually hunted by small teams, it is not very good, the proportion of their hunting is basically the same as the proportion of wild beasts, and even more breeding than hunting.
But if a big force takes action, such as a big purge like the mayor is now sending out the whole army to hunt, if there are more times in a short period of time.
This will cause a significant reduction in the number of wild animals outside the outer area of the brute forest, affecting the ecological balance.
That's why the three major forces decided to clean up once every three years, and without moderation, the beast resources will definitely sit on a mountain and eat up.
Mayor Mare probably wouldn't do anything that would hurt others and himself, and the whole of Twilight Town was his.
I don't think I would do anything to harm the interests of Twilight Town, as for Xiao Yi's idea that the mayor was just training on a large scale this time, according to Xiao Yi's hearing from the people.
She didn't believe it, she knew that Mayor Mare wasn't the kind of person to do this for the sake of training.
And in the past ten years, the mayor's practice has been occasional training, as long as the physical fitness has not decreased.
Since Twilighttown's founding, former soldiers don't even wear armor, let alone drill.
Since the beginning of the riot ten years ago, the soldiers of Twilight have put on their armor and practiced year after year.
But the largest way to use beasts to train themselves was only a few hundred people at the same time.
Even if it was a big cleaning, the mayor of the town only sent more than a thousand soldiers to carry out it with the two major forces.
The more Leng Shuibing thought about it, the more his brain hurt, and even the skin on his pretty face was covered with a trace of bruises.
Thinking of this, Leng Shuibing began to think about it, and planned to send someone to find out what was going on.
At this moment, several officials in official uniforms, each holding a book in their hands, stepped inside, followed by ten city guards with knives.
The leading official, as he walked into the hall, glanced around the hall, smiled at Leng Shuibing, who was sitting in the waiting area, and said:
"Hahaha, the cold shopkeeper will be lucky, and the junior official will come to the door to nag again this time. ”
Sitting on the chair with his right hand holding his head cold, when he was commanding the spies, he heard this voice and immediately looked up.
saw a group of officials walking towards him and others from the hall, and immediately asked the spies to retreat on their own, and then immediately got up and pointed to the chair next to him and said politely:
"Rare guests, it's the chief of finance, please sit down! ”
"The cold shopkeeper is polite, please sit down too. The Treasurer was also polite.
Under the leadership of the finance minister, the officials also hurriedly and politely took their seats, and the city guards with knives stood behind the chairs without saying a word.
After ordering the subordinates to serve tea and the officials to take their seats, Leng Shuibing also turned around and sat back on the main seat.
Then he looked at the finance minister with a little confusion: "Finance elder, this is nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, what are you doing?"
"Oh, it's not a big deal. The finance minister took a sip of tea, heard Leng Shuibing's words, and said with a smile.
Then the topic changed: "The mayor of the town led the guards and most of the city guards to the Brute Beast Forest to train their troops, and the cold shopkeeper knows about this." ”
"Well, not long after I knew, the little woman was still wondering why, whether the finance minister could tell me the truth, let alone any military training, even the finance minister himself may not believe it. ”
Leng Shuibing, who was originally curious about why the other party came to the door, suddenly heard that the other party had pulled the mastermind that made him think dizzy, and he was immediately attracted to it, and then said suspiciously.
"Hehe, the shopkeeper Leng is really a smart person, and the actions of the soldiers are indeed not like the rumors outside, what kind of military formation and strategy are soldiers cultivating. ”
Hearing the words of the storekeeper Leng, the finance minister was stunned at first, why the other party dared to be so interested in this topic, but he still explained according to her words, and he himself did not know why.
