Chapter 59: It's All Old Foxes
Link held the hilt of the long sword at his waist with his right hand, his face was simple and cold, and his tone was equally old-fashioned, "Mr. Liu Gang, my department has received a secret report that it is suspected that your merchant group has brought prohibited items into the city this time, so please go back with me to be investigated." ”
Liu Gang sneered, "Prohibited items?" Hmph, let's not talk about whether we carried prohibited items, even if we did, it was the investigation team of your country's Commerce Bureau that came to contact us, what does it have to do with your Urban Health Department?"
Link Ke's face did not change at all, "Mr. Liu Gang, the duty of our City Guard Department is to protect the law and order in the city, to prevent all dangers before they occur, you bring prohibited items into the city, my duty is to take you back to investigate, please." ”
Liu Gang's eyes flashed with anger, and he was about to speak, but he was patted on the shoulder by Qin Mo behind him, and then Qin Mo took advantage of the situation to come to the front, and said to Link with a smile, "Lord Link, we haven't seen each other for a while, and the transaction between our Tianfeng Business Group and your country is not a matter of one or two days, we have always been law-abiding, I don't know where did the adults get the news that we are carrying prohibited items?"
To Qin Mo, Link Ke's attitude was slightly better, and he glanced at the other party deeply and said, "Mr. Qin Mo, please forgive me for not revealing the source, but if your group really didn't carry any contraband, I will never deliberately embarrass you, my duty is to act as ordered, please forgive me." ”
Qin Mo was sensitive, and immediately understood the meaning of Link Ke's words, the other party didn't mean to get along with him, but someone at a higher level than him gave an order, so he came to "investigate" the Tianfeng Business Group.
Thinking of this, Qin Mo nodded with a smile and said, "I understand what your lord means, but our Tianfeng Merchant Group is not an ordinary merchant group, after all, it represents the face of our country, so if your lord does not have real evidence, we refuse to accept the investigation, and we are invited by the Golden Kite Family of your country this time, if you really want to forcibly detain us, we only agree to accept the investigation in the presence of the people of the Golden Kite Family." ”
Link knew that Qin Mo understood what he meant, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, he had indeed received an order from above to deliberately embarrass the Tianfeng Business Group, but this was not a good errand. You must know that the Tianfeng Business Group is not without backing, the Golden Kite family is their biggest partner in the Bauhinia Empire, and the energy of one of the three hereditary duke families in this empire is by no means something that he can compete with as the deputy director of the small city health department, even if his top boss comes, he will not dare to act rashly.
Besides, Qin Mo is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing and sociable, every time he comes to the emperor, he will give them a generous gift to these officers who hold real power, if it weren't for the person who gave the order from the mansion of the great prince, Lin Ke couldn't push it, he would never come here to play the role of such a villain.
Now that the other party has pulled out the Golden Kite family, it is just right for him to take advantage of the situation to borrow the slope and get off the donkey, and leave this errand far away.
Although he was happy in his heart, Link deliberately had an "angry face" on his face and said, "Bastard, even if you are invited by the Golden Kite Family, you will still be subject to the investigation of the City Health Department, but I can ask you to send someone to the Golden Kite Family to invite someone to listen and testify, if it turns out that you are innocent later, I will apologize to your group and admit your mistake, and now except for the person who reported the news, you will go back to the office with me first!"
Qin Mo instantly understood Link's words, knowing that the other party had already intentionally released the water, and even said the words of apology afterwards, so he smiled kindly, "If someone from the Golden Kite Family is present, we are willing to assist in the investigation, but there is no need to go back to the City Health Department, we will wait for the people from the Golden Kite Family to come, and I can assure you that no one will leave except for the person who went to the Golden Kite Family to report the news." ”
Link knew that this was Qin Mo and didn't believe him yet, he was afraid that he would stop the person who reported the news halfway after he brought the people from the Tianfeng Business Group back to the City Health Department, and after thinking about it, he said unhappily, "Okay, then wait for the people from the Golden Kite Family to come and then go to the City Health Department together." ”
After saying that, Link whispered a few words to the assistant behind him, and after a while, the soldiers around him put away their spears and sat down to rest.
At this time, Lei Xiu quietly leaned into Mu Feng's ear and said, "Brother Mu Feng, what's the situation now?
Mu Feng shook his head with a relaxed expression and said, "Don't worry, it won't take too long, we can leave as soon as the people of the Golden Kite family come, this has never happened before, Lord Qin Mo has a good relationship with the real power officers here, this time I don't know what the reason is, they will come to find our stubble, but if the Golden Kite family does not fall for a day, no one will dare to do anything to us." ”
Lei Xiu nodded, and chatted with Mu Feng without a match, and after a while, the sound of the galloping hooves of the fast horse tore through the silence of the street, and a team of people and horses came from far and near, and a handsome blonde young man in a samurai costume was at the forefront, and came to the encirclement of the city guards at a gallop.
As early as the sound of horses' hooves sounded, the soldiers of the City Guard Department all stood up, but when the soldiers in the front row saw the golden iris badge on the blond young man's clothes, their faces all changed greatly, and no one dared to hold a spear against each other, everyone in the Bauhinia Empire knew that only the direct members of the family could mark the family badge on their clothes, and as for the side and guest servants, they were not qualified.
And the direct members of the Golden Kite family, whose status is not much lower than that of the imperial relatives, how can these soldiers dare to hold spears against such people who are at the top of the empire?
Even Link didn't expect to be a direct member of the Golden Kite family, or this young rising star who made a name for himself in the imperial capital.
An unnatural smile appeared on his face, Link walked past the group of soldiers, walked over to the blonde young man and bowed, "Young Master Randy, I didn't expect you to come in person, how can such a trivial matter be a big deal?"
The blond-haired young man didn't get off his horse, and after sneering, he said condescendingly to Link, "Lord Link, your official authority is so great, even the guests invited by our Golden Kite family dare to detain it, wouldn't it be too shameful for you if I didn't come in person?"
Link's face changed, and he smiled reluctantly, "What are you talking about, I just follow the orders from above, so don't be sarcastic about me." ”
Randy smiled disdainfully, "Of course I know you don't have the guts, otherwise do you think you can still stand here and talk to me?
Link's face turned red and white, obviously angry with Randy, a wealthy kid, but in the end, he sighed, waved his hand vigorously and shouted angrily, "Release me!"
The soldiers dispersed the encirclement when they heard the order, and at this time, Feng Lingxi also slowly walked out of the crowd.
After seeing Feng Lingxi, Randy's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned over and dismounted, and walked forward quickly, with an undisguised look of admiration in his eyes, and bent down to salute, "Your Royal Highness Princess Xi, I haven't seen you for a long time, and it is really a major mistake of our family to let you be treated like this, please forgive me." ”
Feng Lingxi smiled lightly, like a beautiful epiphany suddenly blooming in the night sky, and said lightly, "Hello Young Master Randy, you are so polite, I'm really sorry to bother you to run so late." ”
Randy said softly, "You can see the outside when you say that, it's not early now, my father has already prepared a dinner party, please come with me with your group." ”
After Feng Lingxi politely thanked him, he summoned Qin Mo, who hugged Randy affectionately, and then beckoned everyone with an excited smile to set off, only Lei Xiu looked at Feng Lingxi's beautiful face and was stunned, with a bitterness in his heart, and slowly walked out and said to Qin Mo, "Mr. Qin Mo, now that you have come to the imperial capital, I won't disturb you." ”
Qin Mo and Randy looked at Lei Xiu at the same time, Qin Mo first introduced to Randy, "Young Master Randy, this young man's name is Lei Xiu, and he is a descendant of a good friend of Lord Hanbock, Lord Hanbock asked me to bring him to the imperial capital, so I brought him over by the way." ”
Hearing Hanbock's name, Randy was slightly surprised, and nodded to Lei Xiu in a friendly way, "It turned out to be a friend of Grandpa Hanbock, speaking of which, I haven't seen him for several years, since they are not outsiders, Lei Xiu, you can go with us." ”
Lei Xiu smiled at Randy and shook his head, and politely declined, "Thank you for the invitation, but I still have some things to deal with, so I won't bother you." Then he turned to Qin Mo and said, "Mr. Qin Mo, thank you for taking care of me along the way." ”
Qin Mo smiled and said, "Where, haven't you also helped us, since you still have something to do, I won't force you to stay, I'll let Mu Feng give you your horned eagle." ”
Lei Xiu waved his hand, and said in a polite but tough tone, "No need, I was just to protect myself before, you don't have to be so polite, you just need to give Grandpa Hanbock's horned eagle to his granddaughter, Lord Qin Mo, if it's okay, I'll leave first, goodbye." ”
As if seeing what Lei Xiu was thinking, Qin Mo smiled and didn't force it, so he said goodbye to Lei Xiu.
Looking at Lei Xiu's departing back, Randy wondered, "Mr. Qin Mo, isn't this young man from Grandpa Hanbock's subordinates?"
Qin Mo smiled, "It doesn't seem like it, I don't know his identity, but if it's someone under Master Hanberk, then how can he still be like this when he sees you, the big boss behind the scenes? ”
When everyone packed their bags and prepared to set off with Randy, Qin Mo suddenly stopped beside Link and lowered his voice, "Lord Link, I didn't expect it to be Young Master Randy who came and made you feel wronged, but it's good for you, I'll visit you after I settle down with the merchant group." ”
Link and Qin Mo glanced at each other with a cold face, and did not speak, but nodded their heads imperceptibly, and it was not until Randy and the people of the Heavenly Wind Merchant Group were far away that a smile appeared on his originally expressionless face.
"Hehehehe, the old fox is the old fox, Qin Mo is right, it's a good thing for me that Randy is here, so it's better to make a difference. ”
After muttering such a sentence, Link turned his head and shouted, "All obey, everyone return to the City Guard." ”
Walking on a neat and tidy street in the attached city, Lei Xiu looked at the scattered trees and exquisite buildings on both sides, but he was not in the mood to watch, just now he did have a resentment in his heart, earlier he wanted to see Princess Xi to thank him, but Qin Mo used some royal rules to prevaricate himself, but as soon as that Randy came just now, that Princess Xi took the initiative to appear, and this difference was too big.
In the final analysis, it is because the other party thinks that his status is low, so he looks down on himself.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiu couldn't help but remember what the Messiah had said to him, there are classes in this world, and maybe only power is the most powerful force!
With a sneer, Lei Xiu shook his head and whispered to himself, "No, power is by no means the strongest force, the most reliable thing in this world is yourself, if I am as powerful as Grandpa Roger, I don't believe that anyone dares to underestimate me!"
Then after thinking about it, Lei Xiu frowned and said, "The Golden Kite Family?" I heard that it seems to be the behind-the-scenes boss of the Divine Thunder Building, and I don't know if Grandpa Roger is familiar with their family, the Divine Thunder Building here should be taken care of by the Golden Iris Family, and it will be embarrassing to deal with that Randy in the future, hey!"
Sighing deeply, Lei Xiu patted his face, cheered up, and ran all the way to Zhengcheng in the direction indicated by the signs on the street.
The main city of Bauhinia City is not far from the attached city, but it will take half a day to walk alone, and with Lei Xiu's foot strength, he can only walk to the west gate at midnight, fortunately, there is no city ban between the attached city and the main city, otherwise he can only spend the night in the attached city tonight.
After entering the main gate, the entrance is full of colorful lanterns and signboards, almost every store is hung next to the signboard of different colors, it is very beautiful, although the door of the store has been closed, but these lights have been lit, even at night, the light on the street is still sufficient.
The sound of horses' hooves and laughter can be heard not far away, and it is clear that the night life here is much richer than in the remote cities.
After asking the city gate guard on duty where there was a hotel nearby, Lei Xiu walked towards the end of the street, although Han Boke had told him that when he arrived in the imperial capital, he would go directly to the Shenlei Tower to find a person named Mortai, but now it was too late, and he felt that it would be more appropriate to go to the Shenlei Tower tomorrow.
After making up his mind, Lei Xiu just walked to the corner of the street, and suddenly, a huge black shadow rushed out from the dead corner of the wall on his left, and the speed was extremely fast!
Stunned, Lei Xiu only saw two huge green eyes exuding a fierce aura, and hurriedly dodged away in shock, and the black shadow also dodged left at the same time, just staggering with Lei Xiu.
After standing still, Lei Xiu looked at the black shadow and found that it was a giant leopard with a dark body and snow-white hooves, this giant leopard was staring at Lei Xiu with a pair of bright green eyes at this time, and two white and terrifying sharp teeth also burst out of his mouth, as if he was about to attack in the next moment.
Lei Xiu's face sank, and he couldn't think about why there was such a demonic beast rampant on the street in the dignified imperial capital, and the slightest electric light had already lit up from the palm of his hand, so he was ready to solve the demonic beast in front of him first.
But a coquettish voice suddenly came from the direction overhead, "Hey, are you sick, what are you wandering around the street at night so much!"
Lei Xiu looked up in surprise, only to see that on the back of the black panther, a tall figure was sitting there, but it was a delicate and beautiful young girl dressed in a fiery red shirt.
The girl's long chestnut hair reached to her waist, and she had a gold forehead guard studded with rubies tied to her forehead, and a pair of bright eyes were staring at him unkindly.
