Chapter 240: The show officially begins

Zheng Fei also had to bring in another notary, the Duke of Abraham. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because, the duke is not only the owner of the manor, but also the person who can give orders to mobilize the army in Venice at the moment, and the mayor of the town has to look at his face.

What's more...... The Duke and Hans looked the same, and even the closest people to the Duke might not be able to find any clues if they didn't look closer.

Tanuki for duke.

The only thing that needed to be done was to find a way to cover the scar on Hans's face.

......

Ares beckoned a few men to carefully carry the mammoth tusks into the castle, while the remaining dozens of men stayed behind to guard the goods that had not yet been traded.

With the prince gone, there was no need for the banquet to continue, and the merchants simply exchanged a few words of greeting, and then went back to fetch the money and come over to trade, handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.

Push open the castle gates.

The tantalizing aromas of the ingredients fill the castle hall, and after the last course of Spanish ham, the chefs leave through the back door to where they should be.

The little worker left a little later than them, stayed to clean up, and then quietly went upstairs to gather with the guys.

The hall was empty and quiet, and the conversations outside could be heard clearly, and the merchants were eager to ask Ares' men about the discovery of mammoth tusks.

A few people went upstairs directly and entered the room where the duke and Zheng Fei were talking about things, which was relatively secluded and the noise was not so obvious.

The curtains were drawn, and the room was very dark, and the Duke lit a few lamps, casting a warm glow into the room, which made it drowsy.

The ivory was placed on the floor, and the sailors departed, gently leading the door and guarding the door.

After holding it for a long time, at this time they finally didn't have to suppress their emotions anymore, grinning silently, clenching their fists and waving their arms wildly, expressing the joy of making a fortune, looking silly.

The first to sit down was Ares, not the prince.

Ares half lay on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and took the wine glass handed by the duke, the red liquid in it was the Italian wine that Zheng Fei invited to drink that day.

The Duke poured four glasses of wine and handed them to them in turn, the dim light of oil striking his face with a hint of sorrow.

He is also a high-ranking man, but now he can only pour wine like a servant, and of course he is unhappy in his heart.

Otherwise, what can be done? No one here has any of his support.

The prince was not in the mood to drink, so he took the glass and put it on the table, staring anxiously at Ares who was sipping the wine.

"Tell me about your conditions!"

Can't wait to urge.

"Don't worry, let's talk about something else first, I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince's country is at war?"

"Yes, the West Asian barbarians are attacking, but it's no big deal, I'll bring the army back tomorrow. ”

Zheng Fei looked curious and took over.

"Oh, what kind of army can do it against the West Asian barbarians? I heard that the barbarians are not ordinary brave. ”

The prince's face sank, intent on accusing him of being too talkative.

"Reinforcements from three countries in Central Europe. He replied stupidly.

"Oh~ I thought it was Sparta. ”

Zheng Fei smiled, looked into the prince's eyes, and from that anxious look, he saw obvious panic, fleeting.

Sparta was the top secret of the prince, and only cronies knew about it.

When he returned to China this time, he would not directly use the descendants of Sparta to participate in the war, but would use them as an ace army to ensure that he successfully won the throne.

Even if the giant mammoth tusks were taken back, it would not ensure that the other princes would obey the king's will, and if it was not good, there would be someone who also held a large army and staged a forcible seizure of power.

At that time, it was the turn of the descendants of Sparta to appear.

So at the moment when Zheng Fei mentioned Sparta, the prince couldn't help but panic, and after calming down, he took a sip from his wine glass and smiled.

"Are you kidding, Sparta died out more than a thousand years ago. ”

Zheng Fei shrugged, listened to the slightest noise floating outside the window, and groaned.

After a while, he bowed his head to the duke.

"Our Duke Abraham, why don't you say a word?"

The Duke was distracted, not knowing what he was thinking, when he was called like this, his body shook and he smiled.

"Here...... It doesn't seem like anything is wrong with me. ”

"It's nothing to do with you. Zheng Fei thought silently in his heart.

Thinking about it, he said politely: "How come, you are the owner of the manor, you must have earned it today, and the profit of one percent is hundreds of thousands of silver coins." ”

At the mention of money, the duke became interested, his eyes lit up with gold, and he said, "Yes." ”

The profit negotiated before was fifty percent! Not counting the mammoth ivory, there were more than two million silver coins, which was enough to help him become the richest duke in all of Italy!

The big scam planned today, enjoyable!

As if he saw the overwhelming amount of silver coins and heard the clattering sound, he couldn't help but open his mouth and laugh.

Next, Zheng Fei took the initiative to talk to the duke.

The purpose was to let Hans, who was hiding in the shadows, remember the duke's demeanor and voice, and try to imitate it as realistically as possible.

After ten minutes, the prince finally couldn't hold his breath anymore and coughed hard.

"Hey, we don't seem to be here to chat. ”

It is estimated that Hans is almost done, Zheng Fei scratches his neck and tells Ares that he can start.

Ares stood up on his knees, looked at the prince for a while, and said, "I want to know, why does His Royal Highness want this mammoth tusk?"

"Because I like it and want to collect it. The prince said without hesitation, he had already thought of the reason.

"Okay, since you're so insincere, we don't need to talk about it. ”

Ares raised an eyebrow and called out, and the sailors standing guard outside the door burst in, raised their tusks and were about to leave.

The prince panicked again.

"Wait a minute!"

He bit his lip and lowered his head to suppress his breath of hatred, his fists had never been clenched so tightly.

It is not easy to confess your secrets.

Although he has a token to rule the descendants of Sparta and is bound to take the throne, he still needs this mammoth tusk.

If the throne is awarded to someone else, and he robs it stubbornly, even if he succeeds in the end, he will definitely lose the hearts of the people.

And if the ivory was in hand, the situation would be very different, and winning the throne was justified.

After a moment of hesitation in extreme confusion, he looked up at Ares and said, "I'll be honest, but you have to let everyone else out." ”

Ares smiled, then waved, and the sailors dropped their tusks without saying a word, returning to their positions.

"Now you can say it. ”

"No, what I just said is, all out. ”

The prince's gaze swept over the Duke and Zheng Fei.

Zheng Fei pursed his lips in amusement, patted the duke's shoulder, and went out.

Before leaving, he glanced at Ares meaningfully.

The show is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
