Chapter 136: The Beginning of the Conspiracy
At the dock of VendΓ΄me, Homlin looked at the tax officer who was sitting on the ground and screaming on his chest, and he wanted to go crazy with anger, he just hit it so lightly, is it so exaggerated? This damn guy, do you still want to blackmail him?
But when it came to this situation, he also knew that he must not do it again, in fact, he also regretted his own impulse just now. β Small
Anyway, this Itreig is also an official, and if this guy is determined to say that he was injured, especially when there are so many people around him, it will be a real trouble, and he will even go to jail.
"Stand up for me, don't pretend." Holmlin let out a low cry and stepped forward, trying to pull Itrig up from the ground, and he knew at a glance that this kid was definitely pretending.
Itrieg didn't hear it, still clutching his chest and shouting pain: "My heart hurts, ah, it's uncomfortable to die, I'm going to die." Ah, Homlin, you're so ruthless! β
There were more and more onlookers around, and the people who came behind didn't know what was going on, and just by inferring from the scene they were seeing now, they came to the conclusion that Homlin was arrogant and domineering, and many people began to support the tax officer.
"That's Homlin, he's arrogant."
"Yes, Scrooge Homlin, this fellow is very stingy, I heard that his table is as bright as a mirror, and his servants must pick up the crumbs from the table and eat them."
"Look at him, he doesn't regret beating someone, he still wants to continue fighting!" Someone watched Homlin and Itreguera tugging and came to such a conclusion.
In short, at the docks, Homlin's reputation is really not very good. In fact. All the wealthy merchants did not have a good reputation at the docks. The dock workers always hated the merchants who were above the top. Therefore, in this kind of thing in life, everyone completely ignores the truth of the matter, and instinctively favors condemnation and anger.
Seeing that the crowd was already excited, Homlin was also a little flustered, and shouted forcefully: "What are you doing? Do? What's the matter with you stinky guys? Disperse! Disperse! Maury, Perrault, let them disperse! β
The two servants of Homlin were tall and large, although they were also a little weak in their hearts. But he still pushed the crowd that was constantly squeezing forward, and shouted hard: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, if you don't want to be fisted, just stand back!" It's none of your business here, it's scattered, it's all gone! β
The two servants pushed a little harder, and an old man was accidentally pushed to the ground, and he cried out in pain.
I don't know who in the crowd shouted: "Kill this miser, doesn't he just have shit gold coins!" Shoot him! β
This sentence is like a spark with a hidden dynamite keg. It detonated the explosives in the hearts of the audience.
"Boom~~" There was a bang, something exploded.
The crowd suddenly became agitated. Rushing forward to vent their hatred for these rich merchants on the docks, these damned fellows, who had been so hard to deduct their wages from their wages that they were now so arrogant that they dared to beat the tax collector of the lord, and they took this opportunity to teach him a good lesson.
Homlin's face changed dramatically, and he finally realized that something was wrong, and in this chaotic situation, he was most likely to be beaten to death by these dock workers, and no one would sympathize with him.
In the midst of the chaos, he saw several city guards standing outside the crowd, and these people were just standing from a distance and watching, with no intention of stopping them at all.
This now made Homlin's heart cold, he knew that he had fallen into an elaborate trap, and he was expected to lose his life today!
"Hit, kill this!"
"Strip him and throw him into the sea to feed the sharks!"
At this moment, Homlin felt that he was the enemy of the whole world, and there was malice on all sides, and there was no way to escape.
"It's over, this time I was plotted, and I guess I'm going to die in vain." He knew very well in his heart that in today's situation, if he was killed, no one would sympathize with him, and even if the lord knew about it, in order to appease the people, he would point him to the culprit and let him bear the charge of causing the riot this time.
In short, he is going to be finished this time.
"Get out of the !!!!!"
Just when Khomlin's heart was pounding, a deafening thunder suddenly exploded outside the crowd, the sound was so loud that the sound wave like a huge stone mill crushed over, and everyone present was buzzing in their ears, and a few slightly timid people actually peed their pants directly, their legs were weak, and they sat down on the ground.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
After a loud shout, the crowd fell silent, and the frenzied enthusiasm that had just risen was forcibly suppressed by this roar, as if a large basin of ice water had been poured on the stove, and the flame was extinguished at once.
Outside the crowd, Luo Lin, who was wearing a magic steel suit and was fully armed, stood quietly.
He walked all the way just now, and when he was halfway there, the situation was a little out of control, and someone was deliberately inciting the feelings of the onlookers, so he used a combat technique: War Roar.
This combat skill is a killing move during bloody battles on the battlefield, and now it is used on these ordinary people who have never even seen much blood, and the effect is naturally extremely violent.
He turned his head to look around, and the cold light in his eyes shone brightly, and wherever he saw it, the people immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
The crowd was silent, and no one dared to say anything.
Luo Lin strode towards the door of the tax office, and everyone he met along the way unconsciously stepped aside and made way of the way.
Walking in front of the tax officer Itreig, Rollin leaned down slightly, stretched out his hand to him, and his voice was cold without a trace of warmth: "What are you doing sitting on the ground, get up." β
"I ...... I'm ...... ......." Itreg instinctively clutched his chest and wanted to continue acting, but for some reason, in the face of this fighter, his heart was as heavy as a boulder, and his throat felt like something was choking, and he couldn't speak.
"Huh?" The deep voice rolled in Rollin's throat, hiding an unspeakable threat, and listening to Ittrig's ears was like the low roar of a beast about to attack his previous life, and he had an illusion, as if the next second. The other party will draw his sword and kill him. He couldn't resist. As soon as his courage was released, he didn't dare to hold on any longer, he got up from the ground, wiped his face, and shrank to the side without daring to speak.
Luo Lin chuckled a few times, turned his head to the onlookers, and said, "Okay, this guy is in good health and is not injured." It's okay here too. Disperse y'all. β
His voice was not heavy, but it was as thick as a bell and drum, extremely oppressive, with an indescribable majesty that made people unable to resist anything. In particular, he was also wearing a well-made battle armor, and at a glance he knew that he was a powerful warrior with an extraordinary identity.
In the face of the merchant Homlin, who only brought two retinues, of course, everyone dared to bully, because Homlin had little resistance at all, but in the face of this terrible warrior, the dock workers did not dare to say anything. No one dares to be a bird, otherwise one is not careful. If you are killed by this warrior with a sword, you can only die in vain.
Everyone had such an instinctive trade-off in their hearts, and then they all chose to retreat and quickly dispersed.
A crisis is invisible.
Homlin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, after what had just happened, he only had one feeling in his heart, no wonder his daughter would take a fancy to this young man, he was indeed extraordinary. For a while, most of the resistance to Luo Lin in his heart was eliminated, and only a little resentment remained.
He was also a smart man, and said to Rollin in a loud voice: "Lord Rollin, didn't you go to your territory?" How did you get back? β
This is to show the people around him who Rollin is, look, this is a lord with a territory, and he is also an acquaintance of mine, so don't mess with me, let alone the lord.
These words are still very effective, and sure enough, when the people around heard Luo Lin's identity, their hearts were all stunned, no wonder they were so majestic, it turned out to be a lord.
For a while, some of the onlookers who were not so willing also dispersed, this matter involved a powerful noble lord, and it was no longer something that ordinary people like them could interfere with, and the consequences of indiscriminate coaxing were too strict, and they all deserved to be killed, and no one dared to take this risk.
In response to Homlin's question, Rollin replied with a smile: "I recently led the team to destroy a gang of thieves, and I got a good income, and I came back to you to deal with it." I didn't expect this to happen here, I just listened from afar, your ship seems to be detained, what's going on? β
As soon as he said this, Homlin became angry again, and said angrily: "The ship is loaded with the materials I have purchased, and they are all the basic materials that your territory needs. I guess you must have used it, so I was going to ship it to Gaoshan Town, but I didn't expect this dog guy to arrest the ship and not let me leave the port. β
"Oh, it's my supplies." Rollin didn't expect this Homlin to be so efficient, he was quite satisfied, and asked, "What's there?" β
"Half a shipload of grain, as well as timber and three thousand kilograms of steel ingots. These ingots were shipped to VendΓ΄me by southerners to sell, and they were very cheap and of good quality, and I thought you would definitely use them, so I bought them by the way. β
"Well, that's good, I do need ingots." After saying that, Rollin turned to Itreig: "Okay, now that things are clear, as a lord, I have the right to buy an appropriate amount of steel ingots to build farming tools, so you can let it go." β
"But ......," Itreig remembered the order he had received last night from a certain bigwig, and instinctively objected.
"But what?" Rollin narrowed his eyes and put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
The cold sweat on Itrig's forehead fell, he knew that the other party would not dare to kill him, because he was a tax collector who received the chief's order, but the problem was that the other party was a lord of a land, and he must have a wide range of friends and connections...... The consequences were unimaginable.
And the momentum on this lord's body is really terrifying, faintly, he seems to smell a smell of blood and steel mixed with the end of his nose, he knows very well that this smell is emitted from the opponent's armor, which shows that the other party has experienced many life-and-death battles, his sword must be wrapped around many souls, and he will definitely not mind another one.
He can't afford to mess with this kind of person.
"I didn't ...... Nothing, can be released, can be released. It would be nice to make things clear, hehe. β
"Well, that's good, I'm sorry for you today." Rollin patted Itrig on the shoulder lightly, slapping the latter along, but he didn't dare to get angry, and he had to keep a smile on his face like crying.
"Things are settled here. Homlin, Miss Davi is back this time, and it's in the carriage over there, let's go over. I've got something to talk to you about. β
When Homlin heard that his daughter was also coming, he was very happy, and remembered that Luo Lin had said before that he had a good income, and he estimated that this income would still be handed over to him to deal with, and he was also looking forward to it, so he first ordered the two servants to go out of the port, and nodded with a smile: "It's okay, let's go." β
The two men walked over to the carriage, got into it together, and then the carriage started and drove towards one of Homlin's quarters in the docks.
It was only after the carriage disappeared around the corner that the tax collector returned to the tax office, frustrated as he thought about how to explain to the lord from last night.
Not to mention the unfortunate tax officer, on the top floor of an inn not far from the docks, there were two people standing by the window, watching what was happening in the docks.
"Master, the plan has failed." One of them, dressed in a short black robe, bowed respectfully to the other, a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe......
"Well, I saw that. But I don't blame you for this, your plan this time was perfect, and the failure was just an accident. The middle-aged man said lightly.
The black-robed man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for the kindness of the master." β
"However, the method of intercepting supplies and dealing with Homlin is too stingy to be put on the table. So, you now take the recipe and collect the material, and then hide it on the ship that transports the supplies in Homlin. β
The black-robed man took the prescription in the middle-aged man's hand, looked at it, and was taken aback: "Master... These materials are very precious, and cost at least 5,000 gold coins. β
The middle-aged man smiled lightly, as if the five thousand gold coins were not worth mentioning to him at all: "Remember, the greater the pay, the greater the gain." Without the support of that green dragon, this Luo Lin would be nothing! (To be continued!)
