Chapter 181. The Treasurer's Wooing
Grey Mist City, Inner City, City Hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The government unit that has just been restarted has been sitting lazily with a few officials, the summer sun is not dazzling with the shade of the window, and the afternoon time when the sea breeze blows may be a good time to sleep, so it is a thing to be angry to be disturbed by one's sleep.
So the fat official, who was in his forties and had already erected a beer belly, was full of impatience, picked up the file that Green put on the table, looked at it casually and threw it aside, the dissatisfaction on his face was already obvious, and swept up and down the Green who was neither humble nor arrogant, and his thick eyebrows also appeared on that fat round face, and he snorted coldly: "You are introduced by old Moulton, who is that?" ”
Green's face was calm, and he didn't want to say anything more about this kind of official, because the young man next to him who was arranged for him to come with him by Old Morton was full of smiles, and he bowed his head slightly and bent down: "Lord Treasurer, this is Green from Cape Town, the new lord's most trusted subordinate." ”
"Oh, Lord of Cape."
The treasurer of this city hall sneered, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, obviously he has been in this position for more than ten years, he knows very well what the so-called Cape Town is like, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and he also looked at the young man with a smile on his face playfully, and asked as if he was talking: "I heard that the winery of Old Morton has a new batch of good goods?" ”
"Of course, it's a secret ingredient that South Trumming Sea acquired, a wine, but I don't know if it tastes good or not."
The young man's face was calm, still smiling, and he was not at all uncomfortable with the financial officer's request, but with apologies on his face, he bent down slightly and put a small money bag on the table without leaving a trace, and said softly: "This is an invitation from Daddy Moulton to visit the tavern, and if you want, you can always go to the private room of the sea spear to taste the newly arrived wine." ”
"I love invitations." Seeing this money bag, the fat financial officer showed a little smile on his face, picked it up and secretly padded it in his hand, nodded, and his face was no longer impatient to be disturbed from taking a nap before, and he nodded with satisfaction and looked at the young man and asked, "Little Roy, what are you doing today?" ”
"It was Cape Town that killed more than 300 people from the Ketuf River Bandits."
Hearing the affectionate title of this financial officer, the young man named Roy also smiled unchanged, turned sideways and let out Green, who was waiting quietly behind him, and reminded softly: "This is a hard-won victory, the honor that hundreds of people in Cape Town have obtained after painstakingly ambushing and fighting bravely, I hope the city hall of Gray Mist City can understand." ”
"Oh?" The financial officer's face showed a certain smile of relief, and his eyes were full of playful smiles, twisting his fat neck to look at the eyes of those colleagues around him who were also smiling, and asked loudly with joy: "You said that you have killed more than 300 Ketufu River thieves in Cape Town?" ”
"Yes." First Officer Green frowned slightly, but his face was still calm, weaker than a person, and it was not shameful to bow his head now.
But his words caused the treasurer and others to laugh, the whole town hall had just been reopened, so not many people entered the office, only a few of them laughed tears were about to flow out, and some even mocked and mocked: "Why don't you rush into the swamp and capture the swamp baron on the spot?" ”
"It's true, they almost stained the beach with blood to protect their territory."
Although little Roy had never been to Cape Town and had never seen the battlefield at that time, it did not prevent him from saying words with affirmation, and he also smiled gently, bent down and said softly to the treasurer: "This is true, who dares to joke about this news?" In the warehouse of our Sea Lance Tavern, there are more than a hundred heads of the Cutuff River thieves. ”
"Are you telling me seriously?"
Squinting slightly, this treasurer's more than ten years of experience in the city hall also brought an advantage at this time, looking at Xiao Roy's face that had not changed in the slightest, the fat five fingers gently knocked on the table, and also said slowly: "Do you know the fate of deceiving the city hall?" ”
"Of course, the end of cheating the city hall is to be miserably locked up in a water prison as a fraudster, how could I deceive you?"
Little Roy seemed to be very flattering to the treasurer, who held most of the power of the town hall, and with a smiling face, and even his voice was soft and flattering, and said softly: "We have rescued more than a hundred people from the hands of that group of water thieves, all craftsmen and miners of Samar City, and now they have also been transported to the outer harbor, and are waiting for the merchant ships of the Ketuv River to return to their hometown in Samar City together." ”
"That's good." The treasurer's face changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at a few colleagues not far away, except for the captain of the city defense team, Harold of the Rotten Algae Gang, several other officials in charge of construction and marketing were there.
But he didn't say anything, but stood up directly, his fat body was like a round ball, he reached out and picked up the documents on the desktop, turned his head to look at the unused single room not far away, and walked towards it with a calm face, and at the same time said to Roy slowly: "Bring this friend of yours with me, I think we should have a good talk." ”
"Fatty, be careful to die."
However, the group of colleagues swept the actions of the financial officer, and they all smiled thoughtfully, but they didn't say anything, their tacit understanding had already been formed, and the relationship for more than ten years also had a deep entanglement of interests, but they looked at him and reminded: "Although Clive is not dead now, but his money has been taken away, and it has nothing to do with death, I don't want a garbage clown from the rotten algae gang in the position of the financial officer." ”
"Oh, I get it." The treasurer smiled slightly, swept over his group of colleagues, and was not too moved by their seemingly suggestive words, this kind of scene is really too much, if it is really a friend, it is estimated that Clive, the former captain of the city defense team, will not be in prison miserably now.
Entering the room, the treasurer closed the door directly, and the more symbolic document was crumpled into his pocket by him, but his eyes looked at Roy and Green, and asked slowly: "Tell me about your details!" ”
"Here's the thing..."
Green also talked a lot to the treasurer about the process of killing the more than 300 water thieves in Cape Town before, of course, because he was the first to talk to old Moulton, and also after the guidance of this experienced old man, the understatement victory in it also turned into a tragic victory for more than 100 of his own partners.
Their strength was not strong, and old Moulton's suggestion was more of a protection, and in the ears of the treasurer, it was indeed a victory worthy of praise, especially after the outer harbor of Grey Mist City was breached and ransacked, and it was too much needed to destroy the damned group of Ketuf River thieves, and now this kind of news appeared in his ears, bringing deeper thoughts.
"You have your own navy?"
The fat treasurer had a smile on his face, and looked at Green and nodded with satisfaction, his fat tongue licked the corners of his mouth, and his voice seemed to be categorical: "Then you will be incorporated into the river patrol team of Gray Mist City in the future!" ”
However, looking at Green's stunned appearance, he also smiled, and his fat face did not lose his previous greed for money and lust, but said solemnly: "Now that the river patrol team has just been established, you belong to the branch of the east coast, if there is an operation against the water thieves of the Ketuf River, then you need to come here to help, of course, if you follow me, I don't think I will treat you badly." ”
"That's something to be happy about!"
Before Green could say anything, little Roy directly reached out and touched his arm, pulled him to bend slightly, and said to the treasurer with a happy voice: "The child that our Morton dad admires the most is Levi, who is called the Lord of Cape Town, if necessary, we may be able to arrange a meeting." ”
"Well, after all, he is a lord, the young man that Lord Governor is most optimistic about, and I know that your boss Morton is very capable."
But the financial officer was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something and muttered a few words in his mouth, frowned slightly, looked at Green, who was not a few years younger than himself, and the smile on his face became more and more happy: "Green, is it?" I'm the treasurer of the city hall, and I'm in charge of the finances of the entire Grey Mist City, I think you're really good now, the river patrol team of Grey Mist City, maybe you can be the captain. ”
"I don't know if you're a captain or not, Treasurer, I know you won't treat me badly." And Green also showed a smile on his face, bending his head slightly, which seemed to be quite reverent, but there was also playfulness in the depths of his eyes, like looking at a fool.
As Levi's loyal chief minister, a cabinet member of the Spanish Empire with glorious power, would he be the captain of a small river patrol in a medieval feudal city?
This kind of joke made him scoff, but considering that he couldn't fall out with Gray Mist City at the moment, especially refusing to win over this financial officer, it represented the deepest estrangement between the two sides, and he also bowed his head and said subconscious words against his will, which is nothing to them, because when their ancestors conquered the Americas, they also surrendered to the feet of the indigenous emperor, which is to endure humiliation and wait for a better tomorrow.
