Chapter 8 Resolute and resolute
"Good! You can say that again! I stood up, stood with a long smile, and then stared at the beautiful woman in front of me with admiring eyes and said, "Miss Feng Rui's words are really like a morning bell, deafening!" I will also be scolded so happily that my body is incomplete! Only now have I been truly sure of your sincerity and sincerity! Since Sakura Hui has secretly dealings with the Dida Chamber of Commerce, I can't help but suspect that Sakura Hui has formed an alliance with Diqi and fornicated with foreign enemies, and you are only here to ask for directions for Diqi...... Now I finally understand that Sakura Emblem was only plotted by Dickie, and Diqi Chamber of Commerce wants to take the opportunity to remove Sakura Emblem, the biggest obstacle on the way forward! Now, I know what to do! ”
Feng Rui immediately knelt down and said: "Feng Rui offended the holy face and discussed the emperor in vain, please ask Your Majesty to surrender!" ”
"Miss Fengrui, please get up!" I smiled gently, "What is the sin, Miss?" The young lady risked death to admonish, impassionedly, and did not let the eyebrows be shaved, I only admired and did not blame. www.biquge.info The so-called 'time is the present, and the board knows the honest minister' - I can't imagine that among the businessmen who value profit over righteousness in the eyes of the world, there is a strange woman like Miss Feng Rui who is loyal and patriotic! Although I was scolded very badly, I was extremely happy in my heart! The head of the Sakura Hui family, let's cooperate frankly! ”
Feng Rui said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty! His Majesty seemed to have a clear view of everything, an insight into everything, and a whole plan in mind, but Feng Rui pouted and laughed generously - let His Majesty laugh! ”
I sat down again, ran my finger to my lips again, and with a faint smile, I said, "I want to hear what Miss Feng Rui has in mind!" ”
"Since Your Majesty asked, Feng Rui had no choice but to speak freely...... Feng Rui bit her lower lip, made a cute expression, and then said, "My idea is to ask Your Majesty to make a holy decree to postpone the trial of the Delaware bribery case, so that the Ying Hui family can temporarily avoid the immediate crisis and concentrate on dealing with Dida." Then please ask Your Majesty to announce the award of the mining rights of Meinster to the Sakura family - of course, I know that the mining rights of Mainster are very important to the empire, and it is impossible for Your Majesty to really give them up, but I just want Your Majesty to open up in name, and in essence it is still controlled by Your Majesty, so that Feng Rui can obtain this important business to consolidate her position in the Sakura Hui family. And the Dida Chamber of Commerce naturally does not want Yinghui to recover because of the mining rights, and the elder uncle of the clan who secretly contacted Dida will definitely be blushing - who doesn't want to monopolize the huge profits inside? And I may, under the pretext of mining rights, transfer the traitors of my clan to Meinster to take charge of negotiating with the Imperial Court about the mining rights—and they will gladly go, and then Your Majesty may negotiate the matter of mining rights without a decision, and engage in lengthy negotiations that take time and length, and set up many obstacles and excuses to hold them back, and draw the attention of the Diqi Chamber of Commerce, so that I can calmly arrange everything, and replace the deacons of the Sakura Hui merchant houses in various places with the sons of the Sakura Hui family, and then concentrate the wealth of the Sakura Hui family, Regain the trade routes that were stolen by Dida and regain the disadvantage.
On the issue of Meinster's mining rights, Dida saw that His Majesty and Sakura Hui could not reach a cooperation result, and would definitely intervene, so His Majesty would pretend to be satisfied with Dida's conditions, but asked Dida to pay an astronomical deposit, fully understanding the importance of Meinster mining rights to the empire, and the Dida Chamber of Commerce would definitely agree. When Dida provided the money, His Majesty delayed it for another year and a half for some reasons such as the handover procedure, and Sakura Hui could take advantage of the fact that his financial resources were not handed over to further suppress Dida's commerce in the empire - on the one hand, low-price competition, squeezing out its market share, and forcing it to go bankrupt; On the other hand, it secretly acquired and annexed its businesses. In this way, in less than three years, Dida will lose everything it has in the Empire, including the astronomical wealth that has been incorporated into the Empire's treasury. ”
I couldn't help but admire: "Miss Feng Rui is really a business wizard, if you have the real decision-making power of the Sakura Hui family instead of being controlled left and right, I'm afraid Dida will not be the opponent of Sakura Hui for a long time!" ”
"Your Majesty has won the prize! I'm just a class with an axe, if Your Majesty is a businessman and not an emperor, then how can there be a place for Fengrui? Feng Rui said humbly, but the following words showed the true character of a businessman, "By the way, if Your Majesty is willing to really cooperate with our clan to develop the minerals of Meinster and the Lost Forest, I promise to save half of the cost for Your Majesty, and I am willing to hand over seventy percent of the profits from the operation to the Empire!" Moreover, Feng Rui can also guarantee that the secrets of the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army will never be leaked, and the finest ores will never be sold, and in terms of magic crystal ore and basalt iron ore refining technology, the method of separating the process and breaking it into parts can be adopted, and the workers in charge of different processes can be isolated separately to ensure that the core technology of His Majesty's magic equipment is not stolen by other countries. ”
I squinted and smiled, "Miss Feng Rui's wishful thinking in business has really hit my head!" It seems that Sakura Hui has also coveted the huge business opportunities and profits contained in the magic crystal mine and basalt iron ore for a long time...... It's just that Miss Feng Rui has overlooked a very critical issue - the magic crystal mine and the basalt iron ore are related to the core technology of the strongest armament of the imperial army, how can Miss Feng Rui ensure that the Sakura Hui family will not steal from themselves and sell the secrets of the empire for huge profits? Even if I trusted the Sakura Hui family's business ethics, the generals and ministers below me probably wouldn't agree. Unless ......"
I stopped talking suddenly, but looked at Feng Rui's incredibly beautiful face with a playful gaze.
"Unless what? Your Majesty may wish to state any conditions for cooperation, if it is within the scope of Feng Rui's acceptance and mastery, Feng Rui will definitely agree! Feng Rui's little face shone with a dazzling look, and her eyes looked at me firmly - Feng Rui, who was so focused and serious, was actually full of beauty that was both rigid and soft.
My heart fluttered, and I said with a little banter and mischief: "Unless Miss Feng Rui agrees to marry me as his wife, once they are married, Miss Feng Rui will be my closest person, and the Sakura Hui family will also become my relatives, and my courtiers will naturally not have any objections to the mining of the mine." ”
"Ahh Your Majesty, you-" Feng Rui was stunned for a moment before she knew how to exclaim, suddenly restrained her smile, replaced it with a look of grievance, and said faintly, "Your Majesty, Feng Rui has already lost her armor in front of you today and lost a lot, why do you want to make such a joke and be a cheap Feng Rui again?" In Your Majesty, it was just an innocuous joke; For Feng Rui, this is a major event. Your Majesty, do you know that you are the only dream that Feng Rui pursued when she was a girl, and Feng Rui has been touched by His Majesty's deeds from the moment she knew this world...... Feng Rui will take His Majesty's casual words seriously...... The so-called speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional - what if Feng Rui takes His Majesty's joke seriously and promises His Majesty? Does Your Majesty no longer care to ruthlessly crush Feng Rui's sincerity, and take away what little reserve and self-esteem Feng Rui has left? ”
I was shocked when I heard this, stood up and waved at Feng Rui, and said solemnly: "It's me who lost my words!" I am naturally temperamental, self-reckless, and sometimes cynical and unconcealed--please forgive me for the offensive words! I don't mean to despise Miss ......"
Feng Rui shook her head, her face reappeared with joy, and she suddenly smiled and said, "This is Your Majesty's true temperament, and it is also Your Majesty's charm!" What His Majesty thought in his heart came out unabashedly, unintentionally, but it was also from the bottom of his heart-how could Feng Rui bear to be disgusted? I just can't help but throb my thoughts...... It proves that Feng Rui once made His Majesty's heart move, although Feng Rui is still a young little girl, but she also has a certain attraction to His Majesty - this is Feng Rui's honor! ”
I can't help but re-correct the evaluation and impression of this Sakura Hui family owner in my heart, this eighteen beautiful girl, although she was born in a deceitful business family, in order to revitalize the family's business, cope with the family's crisis and gain a foothold in the family's internal struggle and self-protection and use all her scheming, in every possible way to maneuver in the commercial torrent and sinister human nature, so as to cultivate her independent and strong personality and a sophisticated sophistication that is not commensurate with her age, but she is not contaminated with the slightest bit of businessman's philistine spirit and mercenary nature. On the contrary, it blooms quietly like a lily, fluttering out of the dust, but the girl's heart is expressed frankly and straightforwardly, bravely facing the most secret emotional world in her heart......
At this time, Feng Rui and I were unconsciously silent, my half-truth and half-false teasing and Feng Rui's infatuated girlish confession made us both embarrassed at the same time, losing our original position, no longer the role of negotiators, but like a flirt between men and women...... We looked at each other, and in the casual interweaving of eye waves, a strange feeling rippled out......
A soft wind blew from behind Feng Rui, Feng Rui's hair and skirt were lying in the wind and waves, only to see Feng Rui gently pull the forehead hair that blocked the sight with her jade hand and was messed up by the wind...... Looking at the peerless face of the phoenix that makes the flowers discolored, and smelling the faint fragrance of lilies on her body, I am actually crazy......
After a long time, Feng Rui broke the silence as if she remembered something: "Your Majesty agrees with Feng Rui's plan to work together to deal with the Dida Chamber of Commerce?" ”
"It's a good plan, but it took three years to bear fruit - I can't wait! Shopping malls are like battlefields, expensive in quick battles, slow to change! Let the tiger wolf watch in my ears for three years, how can I sleep peacefully? I want to be resolute and resolute, and I will cut off the stream! Listening to Feng Rui's words, my eyes suddenly became clear, and my voice turned cold.
"Then what does Your Majesty mean ......," Feng Rui asked suspiciously.
I pierced my sharp gaze into Feng Rui's eyes, and said word by word in a cold and quiet voice: "I have decided to immediately investigate and prosecute the Delaware bribery case, arrest the suspected Sakura Zheng family head and those directly involved in the bribery, and order the Sakura Hui Business Alliance to suspend its operation, seal up the Sakura Hui family, and wait for the case to be revealed!" ”
"Ah...... Your Majesty! Feng Ruijiao trembled violently, couldn't help kneeling on the ground, spoke in a trembling voice, and finally couldn't speak, and when she raised her head, her face was already discolored, like snow-white paper.
※※※
Soon after, a sensational news came out of the imperial court: the Yinghui family, which has a history of 400 years and is the business bull of the empire, was seized on suspicion of the Delaware collective bribery case, and because the main people involved in the case absconded, the entire family members were confined to Yinghui's house and were not allowed to leave the imperial capital; The head of the Sakura Hui family personally entered the imperial palace to face the saint and plead for the family, but instead he was detained by His Majesty the Emperor and imprisoned - it is even rumored that Feng Rui and Sakura Hui were executed on the spot by His Majesty the Emperor for offending the Holy Face.
Although there has been no further confirmation of the fate of the Sakura family, the fall of the Sakura family seems to be a foregone conclusion, as the emperor has issued an edict to seal it up. Some sensitive people are faintly aware that there seems to be an undercurrent quietly surging behind the Yinghui incident, which is probably just a harbinger of a series of major events that are about to break out in the future...... Most people lamented the rise and fall of a prominent family with a glorious history of hundreds of years, lamented the tragic fate of Sakura Hui's arrogance, disregard for law and discipline, and challenged the emperor's determination to suppress the wind and greed, and lamented the young and fleeting life of the beautiful Sakura Hui family owner......
On the night of February 5, the snow stopped and the wind stopped, and the stars and moon dimmed.
A group of more than 200 black-clothed and masked night walkers rushed towards the Yinghui family's mansion in Beicheng District, and their bodies were like birds flying in the dust, shocking the world.
When the group climbed over the high wall and flew inside, trying to find the target of the house, they immediately noticed that something was wrong - they saw a black light and fire in the huge courtyard of the house, and there were no human voices, not even the sound of the cicadas in the noisy winter night...... When the night walkers were alert to changes and wanted to order to evacuate, their eyes suddenly lit up, and the house became brightly lit! They were surrounded by a group of Imperial gendarmes in dark blue uniforms, armed with military crossbows!
"Lay down your arms and take them! You are surrounded, don't resist uselessly! One of them, a handsome and imposing cold-faced officer with black hair and brown eyes, said in an unquestioning commanding tone.
The mastermind of the man in black trembled when he heard this, and couldn't help but shout: "The director of the gendarmerie, the imperial general Xiu Belmont......"
When his eyes turned to a woman standing quietly beside Xiu Belmont, he was even more shocked: "The master of the Sakura Hui family! How could it be you? You are not ......"
"Do you think she was executed by me, or imprisoned? Guests from Dida! Perhaps the great swordsmen and magicians of Tranches! ”
The man in black was even more shocked when he heard this majestic and cold voice, and when the owner of the voice walked to Feng Rui Sakura Hui from the passage vacated by the gendarmerie, he couldn't help but exclaim again, and even his tone became completely out of shape: "Alexander the Great...... Imperial Supreme...... How to ......"
"Hey, hey, and me!" A girl who looked as lovely as the girl next door, but whose face was horribly pale, and who exuded a gloomy aura of dead silence, spread her cloak and said in a strange manner, "I have come by the moonlight, and there will be a bloody storm everywhere I pass!" Bloodstained Nobles - Vampire Count - Drinker Ambrose! ”
"Hit the mark!" The leader of the man in black shouted, but his eyes were spinning, looking for a chance to break through.
"You don't have a chance! Magic walls and nets have been laid around the courtyard! Alec seemed to see through the black-clothed leader's intentions at a glance, and smiled coldly, "I don't think you have any intention of surrendering-kill!" ”
"Kill!" As soon as the words came out, countless powerful arrows shot out from the crossbow, densely submerged into the black-clothed people's array, and the black-clothed people standing in the outer circle bore the brunt of the attack, and they fell down in rows with only a "hum"!
"We fight!" The leader of the man in black gritted his teeth, coldly led the crowd forward, and swung his knife in the direction of Alex to cover the past, trying to fight to the death!
"The light of the cocoon fire dares to compete with the bright moon?!" Alec said lightly, the military long knife in his hand slashed lightly in front of him, and the cold knife light flashed and disappeared, like a faint moonlight inadvertently lost in the distant sky, it was so understated, without a trace, but where the knife light started, the fierce energy was surging and rushing, and the bodies of more than a dozen black-clothed people were thrown into the air, and then burst, shattered, burst out like fireworks, and finally turned into molecular smoke......
At the same time, Hugh Belmont rushed out with a spear, and the "Shining Dragon" sprinkled silver light from the sky, mercilessly piercing the hearts of people in black; Drink's body was like the wind, and his slender jade fingers gently slid over the enemy's neck, and the man in black suddenly separated his head and neck, and the only feeling before he died was the coldness of the vampire girl's fingertips touching the skin......
At this time, more than a dozen magician-looking people in the men in black gathered together, chanting incantations together, preparing to launch a magic attack together, but when they saw the blade of the long knife in Alex's hand pointing in their direction, endless pressure overwhelmingly attacked them, like an invisible beast shrouded in the night, devouring their bodies and souls with its teeth and claws...... They were shocked to find that the newly condensed magical elements were suddenly uncontrolled like wild horses, and attacked the caster in a rage, and when they tried to hurry away to save themselves, their bodies had already begun to spontaneously combust, and they were reduced to ashes in a terrible scream - they were killed by their own magic!
The gendarmes, on the other hand, formed a sword formation in groups of ten, advancing and retreating in an orderly and consistent manner to press up on the entire line of the black-clothed men -- in the face of the terrible sword formations that the imperial gendarmes specialized in dealing with group beatings and evolved from the killing of thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield, the black-clothed men with superior swordsmanship were powerless to resist and were cut and killed one by one......
The man in black faced a hopeless struggle, and the victory and defeat were quickly clear, and it was only a matter of moments, and there was no living man in black in the compound!
Looking at the severed feet and stumps and the bloodstains crisscrossing the ground, Feng Rui Sakura, who was stunned by the first time to witness this bloody and ruthless battle, said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty...... There is no living ...... How to refer to ...... Testimony to the Dida Chamber of Commerce ......"
"No need to live your mouth!" Alex stepped on the body of the black-clothed leader, then lifted the hood of the deceased with his toes, and said coldly: "This is the evidence!" Miss Fengrui, you should know this person, right?! ”
After calming down, Feng Rui sighed and said: "It turns out that Your Majesty already knows everything well, and she has a bamboo in her chest, Feng Rui has tried her best, and she has tried her best to do everything she can, but in the end, it is not worth Your Majesty's smile!" His Majesty just flicked his little finger slightly, and the Dida Chamber of Commerce was dumped like dominoes...... With a snap of a finger, the canopy vanished—I had finally seen His Majesty's ruthless methods tonight...... Feng Rui is convinced! ”
Hearing Feng Rui's words, Drink, who was already about to walk away, suddenly turned his head and said with a strange smile: "You don't need to admire this pervert!" He doesn't have any other skills than to deceive a little girl like you, who is not deeply involved in the world, pure as paper, and occasionally daring! ”
Feng Rui looked at the girl in black who kept calling herself a little girl, but in fact, in terms of age, she was not a few years older than herself, and her beautiful purple eyes were full of confusion.
But I heard Alex say: "Miss Fengrui, don't pay attention to her!" It's a thousand-year-old monster who has become a spirit! For the sake of Miss's health and personal safety, you must keep a distance of ten meters from her! ”
Drinker stared at Alex fiercely, but suddenly smiled, stretched out his white right hand to Feng Rui, and said, "Welcome to Alex's family!" ”
Alec muttered from behind, "Damn! Damn female vampires! Slandering my name again! The ghost woman who didn't even let me touch my finger said it was my family member......"
Seeing Drinker glaring at him angrily and clenching his fist, Alex immediately swallowed all the words back into his stomach, but the look on his face was as nervous as if he was facing a great enemy.
These two people...... It's not so much a-for-tat rival as a child fighting with each other, playing tricks, and although they tease each other, they make people feel the most sincere friendship—it might be a good idea to join such a big family," Feng Rui thought.
Alexander...... What kind of man is this emperor with mixed reviews? Seeing the phoenix on the other side of Alex, his heart was becoming more and more confused at this time.
That night, the gendarmes of the imperial capital poured out, and the gendarmerie teams from all over the country were also dispatched at the same time, razing all the bases and strongholds of the Dida Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital to the ground, and more than 18,000 members of the Dida Chamber of Commerce were secretly executed without trial - this rapidly rising business organization in the empire fell even faster, and was lost overnight......
The next day, the Emperor issued an edict to the world: the Dida Chamber of Commerce used unfair competition to trap the Yinghui Business Alliance, openly flouted the dignity of the imperial legal system, challenged the authority of the empire, and had a very bad impact, and decided to ban it immediately......
As soon as this edict came out, it once again caused a sensation in the country.
