Chapter 620: Its Secret (30)
Of course, it can't be said that there is no trouble at all. On the first day, at night, several thieves of unknown origin came to him and tried to steal.
As for whether these are coveted because of his fresh face, but he has exposed a lot of wealth, or whether it is the temptation of some other force, this Lynch is not clear.
He didn't care either, as long as it wasn't related to that being, he wouldn't care about it in particular.
He actually wanted to inquire about the Greenland Empire, but unfortunately, I don't know if it was too well covered up or the news spread too slowly, so far, he has not heard any rumors about the "metal giants" and "the battle of the imperial capital" from the market.
This is not necessarily a good thing, it means that no matter how much preparation he makes, he is still as deaf and blind as he is. The importance of intelligence, how could he not understand.
As Lynch walked, he soon came to the edge of a fruit stall and picked a fresh apple to nibble on.
The boss glanced at him, said hello happily, and didn't care about asking for money.
Although it was only a few days, Lynch had become a celebrity in the neighborhood, young, handsome, rich, and looked like a foreign aristocrat, and this was the impression that everyone had of him.
are all businessmen, in fact, they are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, Lynch, is obviously an upper-class person, and the owner of the fruit stall... It's just a local with some capital, but unfortunately he can't even do the most basic trade and transportation, so he can only do some small business and seek survival in the hardship. Whether you meet someone with power or something that looks powerful, you don't dare to offend.
Many times this is the case, once you have power, even if you don't do anything, people will definitely rush to flatter you, for fear of offending you, even if this power is completely empty.
Of course, if you are really a serious person, whether you are powerful or rich, you probably will not be as "approachable" as Lynch, after all, for those people, the impact of words and deeds is very great, and face, which is just something related to psychological bearing, is also real capital for them.
When he came to the port, Lynch said hello to some of the foremen, and walked leisurely up to the pier, standing at the end of the pier, and he threw some crumbs into the sea at will, like feeding fish with snacks.
This leisurely is also in line with his identity, but even if the average rich person wants to do such a thing, he will not come to this kind of place.
The white soft floc flew down, and some people thought it was bread crumbs, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the rich are different, they can't even afford to eat black bread, and other people's fine grains are also used for entertainment.
In the water, a few strange swimming fish were lured, as if they were scrambling for something, and then scattered in a hurry.
In the humble watchtower of the port, the "eagle-eyed" Glok who was on guard saw this scene, frowned slightly, and didn't say much.
The fish are scattered and look like they are swimming in all directions.
After a few magic hourglasses, in the deep sea, several swimming fish came to a giant beast shaped like a dragon turtle, touched it lightly, and arched its mountain-like shell.
The deep-sea beast didn't move for a long time, and shook its body slightly, stirring up patches of mud and sand.
On the surface of the sea, the whirlpool swirled, and the whiskers disappeared in an instant, and no one would notice the spray.
In the lobby of the villa, Lynch received a "distinguished guest" who could not be described as honorable. This person is the tax collector of the port, many people want to please, in the eyes of others is already an absolute big man, even if the real foreign nobles arrive, as long as there is still business needs, they have to be polite to him, but Lynch feels that this person is a little troublesome.
"Hahaha, Mr. Nerek... Well, I'll call you Mr. Nick. Mr. Nick, you should know that there is a lot of cargo coming in and out of Golden Seed Port every day. I, the tax officer, am also very busy, and this time I really 'have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace'. ”
This man said a local allusion, and the general meaning of which Lynch could understand.
"Mr. Nick, you are a foreign businessman, and you probably don't know the national conditions of our country. China has always strictly controlled the export of pearls and other commodities, but in many cases, there are always some fish that slip through the net and are not easy to manage. ”
"Just like the batch of pearls you bought from Loren before, you may not know that it was a batch of black goods, and the origin is very questionable. ”
"Loren is the number one person among the local profiteers, and I don't know how many people have been cheated by reselling problematic things. ”
"You know, no matter who ends up with those things, in principle, they must be confiscated and put into storage. ”
The man said, looked at the expressionless Lynch, thought that the other party didn't believe it, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice:
"Don't believe it, you can inquire about this matter anywhere, and if you buy his goods, it can only mean that you haven't inquired about it before. As for Loren, why can he continue to do business in peace..."
"Loren's brother has something to do with the mayor, and Loren's sister is the third wife of Count Mark, so... I don't care about him, in fact, no one can take care of him in the Golden Seed Port!"
"But this black thing..."
The tax collector licked his lips as he spoke, showing a helpless expression to Lynch, but there was naked greed in his eyes, whether it was looking at Lynch's luxurious robes or at the beautiful maids who had only been recruited in the past two days behind him.
This is a money-hungry, lustful, good-for-nothing scumbag.
Lynch sneered in his heart, his face remained silent, but the hand holding the teacup was slightly forced. only heard the "click", and the sturdy celadon teacup was cracked by his grip.
Lynch casually threw the broken cup into the trash can on the side, shook his hand, and showed that there was no scar on his hand, which was another meaning.
He didn't look at the tax officer's ugly face, and said with a smile:
"Vivien, bring me the box on the table in my bedroom. ”
"The blue-gold bite, don't make a mistake. ”
Lynch said lightly, and the beautiful maid behind him left a little reluctantly.
Lynch knows what the tax collector wants, and he is not without other means to deter people, showing a little bit of the power of the mage, the other party will probably obey immediately, although the caster of this world is not obvious in the world, but some status, as long as the country is not particularly closed, probably understand the meaning and power of the spellcaster.
It's just that although he is used to lure the enemy, this is also based on the fact that the enemy has really targeted him.
If, the other party actually didn't know that he was here, he would show his power everywhere unscrupulously, even if there was only the slightest possibility of being discovered, it would not be worth it at all for such a trivial matter.
That's not confusing the enemy, it's seeking your own death.
Besides, for a wealthy merchant of unknown origin, a little extra-long force is enough to deter this kind of land snake. At least for a while, those wrongdoers probably won't come to bother him. As for other problems, such as inexplicable hostility or something, they can be settled directly with money!
He can count the gold himself, and he can have as much money as he wants, and what is there that gold can't solve?
Bang, half a box of gold coins smashed on the table, looking at the thick layer of golden coins in the box, the tax officer, who had a gloomy face before, immediately looked shocked and sluggish.
The maid pursed her lips disdainfully, looking at the box, but still with a little reluctance.
A girl like her, who is a little smart and a little beautiful, of course understands what kind of future is worth pursuing, so in just a few days, she has already regarded herself as Lynch's person and put her position and attitude right.
The master spends a lot of money, and for the servant, there will still be some reluctance before getting used to it.
"Lord York, these should be enough for you to dot up and down. ”
"That batch of goods, you look at it, whether to keep it or collect it, it's up to you. ”
"To be honest, gold coins are just a set of numbers for me. So, I don't care how many problems there are with those pearls in the warehouse, and whether they can be shipped back or not. ”
"However, you and I should always set an example and take the initiative to abide by the law. ”
"I didn't know before that I had inadvertently received some black goods. If this causes you some trouble, I hope you can help me take care of it. ”
Lynch's words were not polite, and his tone and demeanor were even more between rebellious and arrogant.
The tax officer, York, took a long time, and finally accepted this large bribe.
In fact, he is more certain of Lynch's identity, he can not be offended, and he will not be offended for no reason.
As he left, the tax officer patted his chest and assured that within his authority, no one would ever come to trouble Lynch again, and as for the previous matter, of course, it was smoothed out single-handedly.
Lynch doesn't think it's strange, things in this world, isn't that, it doesn't matter, good things can turn into bad things, with "relationships", what bad things can't become good things?
Of course, this is also why he didn't take any tax officer in his eyes at all, so he was so direct, slapping his face with money, and didn't care if it would backfire.
He was just afraid of trouble and cautious, so he chose this method that was most in line with the "truth". Otherwise, what kind of bullshit tax collector, even if it is a city lord or even a king, is just a scum who is tortured and killed every minute.
Ten days later, in the basement of the villa, in the laboratory, Lynch looked at the metal barrier exposed by the stabilization force field in front of him, and his expression was very ugly.
He now understood why the guy didn't go after him.
It's possible that he really escaped from the man's sight, and more likely, because the other party didn't feel the need to bite like a dog.
Even if he was allowed to return to his limit state, there would be no way for him to leave this world!
