Chapter Twenty-Five: A Dog Bites a Dog's Mouthful of Hair
"Boy, there's nothing in this world that I, Loire, wouldn't dare to try!" As he spoke, he tore open a fish steak with his hand, dipped it in the nearest tomato sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth, "Hmm! This taste, sweet and sour, what kind of sauce is this? Are you saying that Governor Royo is making a fuss about your sauce and wants to get you all back? Impossible, right? How could the dignified Governor of Port Cherbourg do that? Did you misunderstand what Governor Royo meant? ”
"If it's just the kid who misunderstood?" Murong Tao didn't answer the Duke of Loire directly, but just looked at Bishop William on the side, "In order to show justice, the Bishop was quite ashamed of the Governor's excesses just now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
It is already very generous to use "excesses" to interpret the greed of Governor Royo and his carelessness for human life.
"Bishop, I think you may have misunderstood what Governor Royo really meant." The Duke of Loire wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, turned to look at Royo to the side and smiled, "Governor Royo, did you say?" ”
"As the Duke guessed, I just suspect that they added any ingredients to the so-called secret sauce that affect the outcome of the game, so I persuaded them to publish the recipe of the secret sauce, so that I can send professionals to study and analyze it to rule out the possibility of poisoning!" Seeing that the Duke of Loire, who was known for being a corrupt official, was speaking for himself uncharacteristically, Governor Royo hurriedly stepped forward and continued to distort the facts, "It's just that they are blindly unwilling to cooperate, so I can only use the power in my hands to ask them to go back to the Governor's Palace to cooperate!" ”
"Since Governor Royo has asked you to reveal the recipe for the secret sauce, why don't you cooperate?" The Duke of Loire put a french fries dipped in white fennel juice into his mouth again and chewed.
"If you were on our side, would you just cooperate with the announcement?" Murong Tao asked with a smile instead of anger.
The Duke of Loire still had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be upset by Murong Tao's words, but Captain Luthor, who had never had a chance to speak, seemed to have grabbed Murong Tao's sore feet, stepped forward a few steps, pointed his finger at Murong Tao's nose and sneered, "Presumptuous!" How dare you speak to Lord Duke in such a tone! It's a capital offense, it's a capital offense, you know? ”
"Who is this? Royo? The Duke of Loire frowned slightly and asked coldly.
"Well, this is Luther, the president of the Luther Chamber of Commerce, a fishmerchant!" Governor Royo replied stubbornly, and had already greeted Luther, a fool who had more than enough to do and more than enough to lose, countless times in his heart, "This fool, when you are angry at others, you come out and shout so recklessly, don't you know that you are also disrespectful?" ”
"Oh, really?" The Duke of Loire looked at Luthor curiously, and asked with a smile, "It turned out to be a fish merchant, I thought he was the governor of Cherbourg Port!" ”
Royo secretly said that it was not good, and Loire said this, obviously already dissatisfied with Luthor, and at the same time would hurt himself.
"Someone, get Luthor up! Take it back to the Doge's Mansion and put it in prison! Governor Royo's words doomed Captain Luther to a tragic fate.
"Total... Your Excellency, what's going on? Luthor was puzzled by the two monks, just watching the two stout city guard men set themselves up and rudely drag them in the direction of the governor's palace, "Royo, you bastard, you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge!" What did you tell me before? We got the recipe for that secret ingredient and divided it fifty-fifty, and now you're stabbing you in the back! ”
Royo covered his forehead with his hand, this damn bastard, he didn't know that he was helping him get through the difficulties, and he actually said the agreement between himself and him.
As Captain Luthor spoke, there was a commotion all around, and everyone looked at the Governor with disdain, whose reputation had fallen to the bottom.
"I see, Royo, Royo, what do you want me to say about you?" The Duke of Loire stood up, his face no longer had the hippie smile he had just now, but a sad look, "Do you know how much trust the emperor has in you by handing over such an important position to you?" For the sake of some petty profits, you colluded with those inhumane businessmen to kill the people. Royo, are you convicted? ”
As soon as the Duke of Loire finished speaking, there were hurried footsteps all around, a large number of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition emerged, and those onlookers were in a commotion, but under this kind of coercion, no one dared to move around, including those city guards who belonged to the port of Cherbourg, and they couldn't handle anything in their hands, so they threw themselves on the ground, raised their hands high, and surrendered!
Seeing that the general situation was gone, Royo stood there dejectedly, staring at Luthor with a pair of eyes of resentment, where had Luthor seen such a posture, he knew that it must be himself who was unlucky, and the fishing kingdom that he had spent decades operating like an iron bucket was about to fall apart overnight.
"You... It's you, everything is because of you, I'm going to kill you! The two city guards who had originally held Luther saw that the situation was gone, and they also put their weapons aside, but they didn't expect Luther to go crazy at this time, only to see Luther pull out his sword and stab the Duke of Loire.
The Duke of Loire was still a young man after all, and he was still a little stunned after an emergency. He didn't understand where Luthor had the confidence to do such a crazy thing in front of so many of his men.
"What are you doing sitting there stupidly?" A voice came from the other side, and then the Duke of Loire felt his ass kicked hard, and the man went straight over the wooden table where he was tasting, and rolled to the other side, narrowly avoiding Luthor's fatal blow.
Seeing that the blow missed, Luthor was about to adjust his direction again, stabbing at the back of the heart of the Duke of Loire, who fell to the ground on all fours, but felt a figure flash in front of him, and then he felt a huge force pull his right hand out, and the pain in his wrist made him abandon his sword, and then he felt that the whole world was flipping, and the next second, with a muffled snort, he didn't know anything.
Murong Tao leveled the vicious Luther with an over-the-shoulder fall, and the guards of the Duke of Loire simply and rudely used various means to double their dereliction of duty on those poor city guards, and for a while, the Third Street was full of wails, and even the dignified Governor of Royo was like a dead dog guarded by several soldiers, where was the image of the former governor.
Murong Tao was extremely embarrassed to pull up the Duke of Loire, who was still in a state of eating, "I'm sorry, my lord, I can only make such a disrespectful act in a hurry just now, are you okay?" ”
"Although you damaged my handsome image, but you saved my life, I won't bother with you this time!" The Duke of Loire, escorted by several soldiers, patted the dust on his body, and deliberately threatened with a straight face, "If the food you wait for can't satisfy me and enjoy it, I'll settle the old account with you!" ”
"With Bayard here, of course no problem!" Murong Tao waved his index finger and smiled, "Everyone has been standing for so long, why don't you come and try our Sailor's Tavern's new 'Equality' brand fish and chips?" As a thank you all for your support, all purchases today are half price! At the same time, we will give all diners a random number, so don't rush to leave when everyone has eaten the perfect meal, because this random number card in your hand will bring you a lucky chance. I'm here to sell you the prizes, so please find a place to sit down first! If you don't have a place to stay, please be patient, but if you don't want to wait in the tavern, you can also register your address and name with our waiter and make an appointment for a chef to come to your home. We sell not only good food, but also good service! ”
"Boy, you're very set!" The Duke of Loire pursed his lips and said, "No matter what, I have indirectly helped you solve a big crisis, what kind of prizes, you can look at and get me a few things, gold, silver, jewelry or something will be exempted, I am only interested in food, the best ones you know are the best!" ”
"Ming's food? Bayard doesn't! Bayard said helplessly.
"I'm not a chef, what are you watching me do?" Murong Tao glared at Bayard, and said angrily, "Forget it, let me think about it, give me some time to think about it, it's always okay, right?" ”
"Don't worry, I still have to go to the governor's mansion in Royo to search the house, and I'm not back so soon!" The Duke of Loire nodded.
Many nobles saw the Duke of Loire leaving in a carriage, and they also got into their own carriages, they all knew that the sky in the port of Cherbourg was about to change, and now they had to go back and tell those people in the family who did not open their eyes not to take the initiative to provoke such a murderous god when the Duke of Loire was in Cherbourg, otherwise the target of the next raid would be their own home.
As for the commoners and businessmen who watched the excitement, after hearing that there were discounts on meals and big prizes, they all poured into the tavern, and the second floor was originally only open to insiders, and a wine table was also temporarily arranged, and for a while, the waiters in the entire tavern were busy like dogs.
"Do you think we're going to rent the shop down the next street? If this development continues, the tavern simply cannot accommodate so many people. The old captain grabbed Murong Tao and asked.
"It's only the first day, if it weren't for the fact that Luthor wasted half a day of trouble, business would definitely not be so good, we must know how to be grateful." Seeing that his words made several people unconscious, Murong Tao explained, "It won't be long before the Luther Chamber of Commerce will definitely cease to exist, as friends for so many years, aren't you going to send Luther on his last journey?" ”
