Chapter 60: A Tricky Question
When Bayard and a group of sailors were called up by the tavern owner, and saw the messy tavern hall, everyone expressed their puzzlement, how could two people who were not okay last night have such a huge conflict? So, one by one, possible speculations were spreading, and soon the already small port of Pavrell was swept by rumors, and almost everyone was talking about the smashing incident that happened in the lobby of the tavern last night, and there were also insiders who said that this time the tavern owner received at least 3 gold louis in compensation!
Not to mention the gold louis, which is rare in a lifetime, even if converted into Livre, there are at least 60 pieces, which is enough for an ordinary family of five to eat and drink for three years, and there is still a surplus. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even ordinary little nobles can be used compactly for a whole year, and they were wasted by two losers.
Some people feel sorry, not for those two people, but for the three gold louis, you must know that in this dry season, when the grain is not abundant, the three gold louis is a great wealth. There were only a few petty nobles in the whole port of Bavrel, and the richest one in the whole port did not dare to say that he could spend 3 louis a day, and besides, he was paid as compensation.
Of course, some people paid attention to this little-known caravan, and some began to inquire from the dockmaster about the sudden appearance of the caravan, and after learning that the caravan had not long been formed and had come from the port of Cherbourg, some people reported the news to the city lord's palace, and some people also informed the Bishop Brown of St. Nicholas Church, who was currently in charge of the day-to-day affairs.
There may not be much attention to Murong Tao's newly established chamber of commerce, which doesn't even have a name, but the person who spent some effort on the chef named Bayard said that among the trade items brought by this chamber of commerce was a product called fish and chips, which attracted Bishop Brown's attention, especially its brand name "Equality", which naturally reminded the protagonist of Brown that Bishop William led a team to Cherbourg Harbor to name a new tavern before.
"Could it be the caravan of that sailor's tavern in Cherbourg Harbour?" Brown pondered with his goatee, and suddenly he thought of the donation from the Sailor's Tavern led by Bishop William, "It seems that the other party has come to deliver the donation that was negotiated before!" ”
So, soon, Bishop Brown ordered his men to go to find Bishop Lauren, and wanted Bishop Lauren to stay in the tavern for the people who went to the Sailor's Tavern for him, so that they could bring the materials and money to be donated to St. Nicholas Church, taking advantage of the fact that Bishop William was not sitting in St. Nicholas Church, to include this valuable donation under his command, and when facing the liaison officer sent by Paris in the future, he could also give Bishop William some eye medicine!
However, Bishop Lauren had not been seen since the previous night when a patrol and guard had seen him, and Bishop Lauren was not in his lodgings, and even Sister Mary did not return for the night.
There was already a lot of gossip about these two people in the church, but after it reached Bishop Brown's ears, Bishop Brown snorted coldly, slammed the teacup in his hand and said angrily, "The guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, for the sake of a woman, even cares about his own reputation?" So that Mary slut has leaned towards you? Hmph, don't forget your identity, even if William is not there, the daily affairs of the church are still in charge of me, and it is not your turn to interfere! ”
Seeing that Bishop Brown was angry, the patrol leader who was called to find Bishop Lauren did not go into too much detail about seeing Bishop Lauren last night, but only mentioned one sentence, which made his immediate boss Bishop Brown very angry, so he was so frightened that he swallowed back all the words that had been organized later. The so-called gods fight, and mortals suffer. These two people are the bosses of the church management side, and there is no need to offend the other for the sake of one, maybe when the suppressed one will turn over and become the real person in charge of this church, isn't it still himself who will suffer at that time?
"Forget it, you go to that tavern, take those sailors' taverns, find their director, and ask them to bring the things they want to donate to the church, immediately, immediately, without a moment's delay!" Bishop Brown is extremely irritable now, if Bishop Lauren is there, the two of them can use their network behind them to snipe Bishop William who is about to return, but now Bishop Lauren doesn't know where to go, and he hasn't told anyone where he is going, how can he not be irritated?
The patrol leader breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't stay here and face Bishop Brown, it didn't matter where he went. Besides, this is an easy task, as long as you bring the people and materials back to the church safely, your task will be completed, and there will be a reward along the way.
At this moment, a priest ran in anxiously, "Lord Bishop, I heard that the ship that Bishop William is on is almost here, and it is about three hours away. ”
Catholicism, naturally, has its own intelligence network.
After hearing the news that his nemesis, Bishop William, was about to return to Port Bavrel, Bishop Brown became angry for no reason and yelled at the patrol leader next to him, "What are you doing there?" Why don't you hurry up and pick someone up at the tavern? Do you even want to show me the colors? ”
Affected by Bishop Brown's anger for no reason, the patrol captain retreated unwillingly, thinking about the reward in his heart just now was flying away, if he couldn't complete the task, what would be waiting for him, thinking of this, his heart was cold.
Murong Tao and Marcus were arranged to rest in two rooms respectively, and there were several sailors to help them wipe and change their clothes, but these people were all reliable, and they were all waiters in the former sailor's tavern, so after they found that the two of them were embarrassed on the surface, but neither of them was injured in their clothes, they quietly told the news to Bayard, who was standing outside the door.
A smile flashed on Bayard's face, and he gave a gag order to several sailors before entering Murong Tao's room.
"Oh, bayard!" Murong Tao had already opened his eyes when Bayard walked into the room, "What's going on outside?" Did anyone who had sent to St. Lo hear back? ”
"I think I've already met Bishop William by this time, right?" Bayard walked over and helped Murong Tao up, "You two can really toss, you can lose three gold louis in one fight, it's distressing to think about it!" How much fish and chips does this have to sell to earn back? ”
"I can't bear the child's trap on the wolf." Murong Tao smiled, "As long as Bishop William can come back on time, we can monopolize the fish business in Port Bavrel, as long as the cost of cod and herring is reduced, even if we just sell dipping sauce, we don't know how many gold louis we can earn!" ”
Bayard knows this, and he also knows that Fat Willy's father-in-law is in Port Bavrel, Fat Willy must have been angry with his father-in-law before, and he also sent someone over to contact him just now, if there is the full support of the person in charge of the church behind this, even if the mayor of the city lord's mansion wants to do something crooked, it is not good to make a small move in front of Bishop William.
There was a knock on the door, and the sailor outside the door called Bayard, "a man from outside claiming to be the Church of St. Nicholas has come to see the head of our caravan, would you like to go down and meet him?" ”
Bayard looked at Murong Tao and didn't speak, Murong Tao shook his head, and Bayard immediately said to the sailor outside the door, "You just tell the original story of the brawl that happened here last night, just say that the two leaders of our caravan fought because of the donation, and now both of them are in a coma, no one can take charge of this matter, let them wait a few days to come!" ”
In fact, the two outsiders in this tavern have long been known to the streets, and the patrol captain has also obtained a lot of accurate news along the way, and his heart has been calm all the way, which is obviously impossible to take the parties back to meet Bishop Brown all the way, and the people below obviously can't be the master, and these people are just affiliated with the church, and the donation is originally a resource in the eyes of outsiders, and you can't make a robbery move, this is not just the face of the church, In the future, even Bishop Brown would not dare to do such an excessive thing in the port of Pavrel.
But even if he went back empty-handed, Bishop Brown obviously wouldn't let him go. Thinking of this, he simply used the procrastination trick and spent it with the person in charge of the sailor's tavern.
After learning the description of the appearance of the visitor, Murong Tao was one head and two big for a while, this patrol leader had seen himself last night, heard his own voice, and knew Martha. It seems that the original plan is going to be reformulated, first of all, to send Martha out of here as soon as possible, and definitely not let him see Martha. But Marcus longs to see his daughter, and he is always looking forward to seeing her at the tavern. Originally, Murong Tao had already promised him, but now he encountered such a tricky thing.
"As long as Martha is safe, I don't care!" Marcus made a choice and sighed, "I didn't expect it to be so difficult for our father and daughter to meet each other!" ”
"Well done, old fellow!" Murong Tao patted Marcus on the shoulder so hard that tears came out of his eyes, it turned out that this position was overplayed last night, and the most seriously injured place, "Don't worry, after this matter is over, we are bound to go back, and you will be able to see Martha then!" ”
