"Really......"
Jiang Yan didn't have too much surprise about this.
Now that the Gulund family is completely finished, Jiang Yan had already foreseen such a result when he handed over those evidence to Angus for him to operate, as long as the other party was not stupid, it was impossible to sit still.
The only thing that surprised Jiang Yan a little was that the other party was so decisive, and the intuition of the gray-haired old man in it was so keen that he could detect the secret surveillance from Jiang Yan's daughter network.
Jiang Yan then flipped through some surveillance records sorted out by Zhi Brain, and found that after the other party got rid of the surveillance of the sentinel that night, it was not completely unseen, and the sentinel in other places had intermittently detected the figure of Zos Gulund and the gray-haired old man.
But after three or four times in a row, the other party also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and never appeared in the monitoring of the slave network again.
Jiang Yan's handset network has a wide range of sentinel machines, ranging from mosquitoes and moths to cats, dogs, birds and mice, and many very inconspicuous small animals and insects that are extremely common in towns and cities may be a sentinel with a monitoring function, and their presence can be seen in all corners of the streets and alleys in the town, let alone outside the town.
If you want to avoid the surveillance of these sentinels, you can basically only artificially create a special environment where wild animals such as birds, beasts, insects, and fish cannot approach at will, and you have to hide in this secret environment all the time and not go out.
Jiang Yan didn't think that Zos Grund's gang would hide in the same secret location for several days in a row, because in that case, they would be found sooner or later under the pursuit of the imperial officials.
Therefore, Jiang Yan estimated that the other party should have disguised his identity, right?
In order to ensure their own secrecy, Jiang Yan's sentinel machines will not use special abilities when they conduct surveillance and secretly collect intelligence, and they basically only use simple visual and auditory physical observations, at most plus some ultrasonic induction such as bats. Transcendent methods such as spiritual power detection and divine element scanning cannot be used casually, otherwise it will be easy for others to see through the disguise of the sentinel.
Therefore, when faced with camouflage methods such as disguise, normal types of sentinels are not easy to use, and if you add special escape methods such as shadow stealth, sentinels cannot guarantee that they will not miss their targets.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. They can't hide forever anyway, and with the slightest flaw, we'll be able to locate them in no time. After frowning slightly, Jiang Yan waved his hand and said, "But don't let your guard down, Zhibrain, let the sentinels pay close attention to the traces of those two people......"
After thinking about it, Jiang Yan added: "By the way, Angus, this time the plan to destroy the Grund family, does the other party know that you are taking the lead?"
[My lord, this time the main body of the Grund family is over, but I'm not sure if the other party will hide other branch strongholds that we don't know about, how to say that it is also a family that is not too powerful......] Angus replied: [And in order to increase merit in order to facilitate subsequent profits, our actions this time are not too much disguised in the circle of the upper echelons of the empire, plus some promotion from the nobles of the hostile faction...... If the remnants of the Grund family really want to track it down, it won't be too difficult to find my head. 】
Since those remnants can be found, Angus will most likely have to bear the revenge of the other party.
"Oh, it sounds like you're not too worried. Jiang Yan asked.
[Some lost dogs are just a little trouble at most. Angus smiled disdainfully: "Anyway, I'm also a dignified marquis of the Empire. 】
Not to mention the power of the Marquis de Slint family, Angus himself is a veteran elf envoy with the pinnacle strength of the military level, and some revenge such as petty assassinations is indeed painless for him.
"Hmm. Jiang Yan nodded, and said, "However, there is nothing wrong with being careful. Let Zhi Brain strengthen the secret vigilance around you, and by the way, beware of the safety of important members of your family!"
The revenge on the surface, with Angus's identity and strength, is indeed not afraid, but he is afraid that the other party will go crazy and throw away the lower limit to make a bad move.
After all, this matter was also ordered by Jiang Yan to be done by Angus, but the black cauldron afterwards had to be deducted from Angus's head, and Jiang Yan felt that he had to be somewhat interesting.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yan's advice fell, he heard Angus say very gratefully: [Thank you for your concern. 】
"Don't be so polite. So, do you have anything else?" Jiang Yan finally asked.
[By the way, my lord, I just have something to report to you.] Hearing that Jiang Yan seemed to be about to hang up the communication, Angus hurriedly said.
Say. ”
[Actually, it is about the benefits of our side in this operation against the Grund family, and the results have been roughly revealed. Angus said cautiously: [This is relevant information, please take a look at it. 】
As he spoke, he sent a document containing a series of lists to Jiang Yan through the Internet.
"I'll take a look......" Jiang Yan casually glanced at it a few times, and found that they were all several industries under the Black Thorn Chamber of Commerce, and the relatively large ones were mainly three large trading houses responsible for slave trading, two large casinos, and an underground gladiatorial arena, and the rest were just scattered small industries.
The simple monetary gain, including the frozen funds left in the bank by the Grund family, also has more than a million gold coins.
After reading it, Jiang Yan asked casually: "The harvest is not small, but it doesn't seem to be the whole story, right?"
Jiang Yan took action against the Gulund family this time, although he initially had the idea of 'eliminating hidden dangers in advance' and 'helping Gina avenge by the way', but in fact, it was not a simple will, and he still wanted to seek some practical benefits from it.
The Duragon Empire's ethos of 'the law of the jungle and strength first' prevailed not only among the lower classes of the Empire, but also in the upper circles of the Empire. There is an unwritten rule in the upper circles - as long as you have a valid reason, act within the limits of the laws of the Empire, and have sufficient strength, then you are allowed to compete with each other, and the winner can reasonably deprive the loser of the benefits he wants!
[Uh, my lord, please be clear!] Angus quickly explained in a nervous tone: "Because our actions this time have gone through official channels, in order to be justified, a part of the assets of the Grund family must be attributed to the Imperial Government! I'm sorry, but that's the best I can get from my authority. 】
"Okay, okay, I see, you don't have to be so nervous. Hearing the apprehension in Angus's tone, Jiang Yan waved his hand and said, "Even if you hand over these assets to me, I'm afraid it won't be convenient to take them over with my current status, so I actually planned to hand over these gains to you." ”
Angus breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: [Thank you for your understanding!]
Seriously, he was really afraid that Jiang Yan would misunderstand him because of this.
Then, Jiang Yan thought for a while and gave an order: "Angus, you can dispose of the casino at will, I only have one requirement for the slave trading house and the gladiatorial arena: making money will no longer be their main goal in the future, and there is no need to change the way of operation, but you have to let Zhi Brain pay attention to the slaves inside, if you find a seedling with good potential in the future, remember not to sell it! We want to stay and train ourselves to become our own team, you know?"
Jiang Yan's decision was also to tap potential talents as much as possible, even if it was unlikely that there would be a genius-level person like Hal and Lily, Jiang Yan with slightly good cultivation qualifications would be acceptable. Talent, the demand in this area has always been more and better.
"I see!" replied solemnly.
"So be it. ”
......
On the western outskirts of the imperial capital of the Duragon Empire, there is a neighborhood with a mixed mix of fish and dragons and relatively chaotic law and order.
The streets here are not neat and spacious roads paved with cement and white bricks like the city center, but dilapidated and dirty mud and stone mixed and haphazardly bulldozed paths, and all kinds of household garbage can be seen everywhere, which looks very dirty. Most of the houses on the roadside are low, small tiled houses made of wood and mud bricks, but occasionally you can see one or two relatively clean stone and brick buildings.
Hawkers set up stalls on the street at will, and occasionally petty theft can occur, and after being caught by the owner, they are often beaten on the spot, and the screams are directly drowned in the hawkers' shouting, and there are even those who are maimed and killed on the spot. When others see it, they often don't look at it with an indifferent face, because everyone is used to it.
No guards would come here to keep the law and order the streets, because this is the famous slum area of the imperial capital and the mixed area of all kinds of black markets.
In one of the small tiled houses, Zos Grund was carefully opening the curtains a small gap, glancing at the street outside, and then lowering the curtains, his face irritated, and his eagle-like eyes full of gloom.
He hatefully grabbed a morning newspaper on the table, glanced at the news recorded on it, and his hand was so hard that his knuckles turned white and almost scratched the newspaper out of a hole, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "I didn't expect that my Gulund family, which has experienced more than five generations of prosperity, will be destroyed in my hands......"
"Master, please be patient as much as possible. The gray-haired old man Feiying sat opposite Zos Gulund with a calm face, and said lightly: "You must remain calm now, and don't let anger affect your sanity, otherwise the Gulund family will really be finished." ”
"Huh...... Zos Gurunde naturally understood that what Feiying said was reasonable, he took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions, and asked in a deep voice, "Feiying, how long do we have to stay in this kind of ghost place?"
"I'm sorry, actually...... I don't know. Feiying shrugged his shoulders, glanced at the window next to him, which was firmly blocked by the curtains, and said helplessly: "I can still vaguely feel that there is some kind of sight hiding in the dark, but I still can't find the source...... If I hadn't been confident in my instincts, I would have mistaken this feeling as a delusion!"
"Is there even such a mixed slum?" asked Zos Grund with a frown.
"That's right, so I only dare to go out at night now, and I even have to disguise myself first! After all, shadow stealth isn't as effective as it is during the day, and I'm not much sure I'll be able to get rid of that kind of tracking again. Flying Shadow shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you really can't stand it, you have to wait until tonight before I can take you away, for now, it's better to stay inside this house with a hidden barrier and don't go out, it's safer." Luckily, there are a lot of them in the slums."
