Shen Qing and Tang Ke were almost unhindered, and they subdued George and Anna.

Tang Ke thought that they should be brought back to Jiangzhou Mansion for interrogation, while Shen Qing was thinking more about other things.

They've already killed too many enemies, and it's a bit inappropriate to kill these two.

Aggression is one thing, and she will naturally not let go of anyone who invades Jiangzhou Mansion.

It's just that these two guys, if they are killed, it seems that they will have no use value.

Sometimes, the living have more value than the dead.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Tang Ke called Shen Qing aside and asked:

"Aren't they invaders? I remember that the Empire's approach to invaders was ......."

After Tang Ke finished speaking, he wiped his neck, and Shen Qing shook his head.

Of course, most of the invaders were indeed killed.

Moreover, the hidden Tang Sect, an organization that exists as a dark department, basically performs the task of beheading.

A small number of people, there is still a record of killing within the Zhongzhou pastor.

When Shen Qing was in the Western Desert, he once learned a trick under the general Song Tianbao.

It's called ...... Please have a drink when you open the door.

"What a mess......

Tang Ke felt a little incomprehensible, how to face the invaders, and there was such a move?

In general, in the later stages of the war, a part of the prisoners was left behind, and instead of killing them, it gave them some sweetness.

Let them be grateful to the Cloud Empire, and even, let them become loyal fans of the Cloud Empire.

Then, let them go back and let them exert some influence in the enemy country.

Of course, there is no such treatment for general-level prisoners, and they are usually the kind of high-level prisoners who will use this trick to open the door and invite them to eat and drink.

Speaking of this General Song Tianbao, he is an excellent person with sticks and honey!

During their raids in the westward desert, they captured many of their own guards and the chiefs of small tribes, who were often killed after being harshly interrogated by the lower ranks.

Recommended, [Source Change Artifact] is really good, it's worth installing one, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates!

At this time, General Song Tianbao would rush out and scold the interrogating soldiers, and then release these guards and small patriarchs.

Give them wine, give them meat, give them food, drink, and cloth, and even give them beautiful women.

Of course, this kind of giving is moderate, and General Song Tianbao has handled it very well, so that they will soon be fluttering.

Nomads, unlike the Orientals, do not have the kind of thinking of returning to their roots, they only know what is pleasure and what is happiness.

What they are looking for is physical pleasure, an indomitable will and the self-esteem of the soul, and they don't care about that.

Under the Song general's honey offensive, these pro-guards and patriarchs of small clans soon became loyal lackeys of the empire.

After they returned as captives, they also attracted the attention of all parties in the Red Eagle Federation for a while.

Even, there was a patriarch who openly said at the palace banquet of the Federation that the Cloud Empire was far more humane than the Red Eagle Federation!

Later, the patriarch was thrown out and was never invited again.

I have to say that these people who are influenced by the empire will have a very important influence, and this influence is beneficial and harmless to the empire.

"So, do you think this will work with these two guys?"

"Anyway, the enemy has all been captured, it won't work, you can try slowly. ”

"If it really doesn't work, it's okay to do it for the sake of the empire's security. ”

After Shen Qing finished speaking, Tang Ke stretched out his thumb at Shen Qing.

Sure enough, there isn't a good guy in this general!

They're all black-bellied guys!

If this is not black-hearted and ruthless, how can we fight with foreign enemies? Is it possible to hold a bodhisattva heart?

That's not going to work.

"Then do it, you arrange it, and I will implement it. ”

"Good. ”

Shen Qing agreed very happily, and then, the two people were directly brought to their ship, and these sailors were naturally powerless to resist, so they could only obediently listen to Shen Qing's words and drive the ship into the dock of Jiangzhou Mansion.

Before the ship docked, Wen Tingting saw the two of them on the deck.

"Good guy, did you really clean up these people single-handedly?"

Wen Tingting felt a little incredible.

Jiangzhou Mansion often welcomes overseas merchants, but there are more Tianzhu merchants and southern merchants, and most of the Western merchants do business in Tianzhu.

Few of the merchants from the open sea came to the East, and many more seemed to be trading with those guys from the Western continent.

Therefore, the people in the outer sea have a very limited understanding of the Cloud Empire, and after seeing the dock of Jiangzhou Mansion, even George, who was restricted from freedom, was still very excited to look at it from the deck.

"Look, Anna! that's Jiangzhou Mansion!"

"Jiangzhou Mansion is really big enough! It's so grandiose, it's so magnificent!"

Listening to George's words, Tang Ke shook his head.

This guy probably doesn't need Shen Qing to feed him ecstasy soup, he himself worships the East very much.

He's an interesting person, too.

"These two guys, are you still on trial?"

Tang Ke asked.

"Trial, but, don't use torture. ”

"And, that Hal, it would be better to heal him too. ”

After Shen Qing finished speaking, Tang Ke answered and stopped talking.

If you don't have to be tortured, then it's boring.

Let Wen Tingting do this kind of boring thing, he Tang Er doesn't want to take this job.

So, when the ship docked, Tang Er's family disappeared directly, Wen Tingting looked at the sailor who was brought down and looked at George and Anna who Shen Qing had carried, and suddenly felt a little confused.

"Take these two people to the Taishou Mansion, and we have to talk about it. ”

"Huh?"

Wen Tingting suspected that she had misheard.

Take these two guys and go to Taishou Mansion?

See Yan Taishou?

"Take the two of them to see Yan Taishou, I have something to talk to them. ”

Shen Qing repeated, Wen Tingting nodded affirmatively, and took the two of them on the horse.

"Oh my God, Anna, I feel like we're in the wilderness of the West!"

"I've never ridden a horse before!"

Like a child, George was curious about it all.

Anna just didn't care about him at all, after all, this guy was a bit out of place.

They are war criminals now!

It's a captive! It's not a vacation!

Being curious about everything is not a good morals at all at such times!

However, he is like this, and Anna has nothing more to say.

After Wen Tingting brought the two of them to the Taishou Mansion, Yan Taishou's paperwork had already come to the door to take care of it.

"Taishou said that there should be a distinguished guest coming to the door today and asking me to come here and wait. ”

Wen Tingting looked at George and Anna behind her.

This...... You're not talking about the two of them.

"Well, you two go in. ”

Wen Tingting waved her hand, it was estimated that General Shen Qing was also coming soon, and Tang Ke was already waiting in the pavilion of the Taishou Mansion.

Looking at him like this, he should have just returned from prison, with an expression that he didn't care about him.

"Yes, dear lady, I haven't asked for your name yet. ”

George said very politely, saying hello to the clerk.

"Just call me Xiao Jiu. ”

The clerk politely led the two of them into the Taishou Mansion, and Wen Tingting had a helpless expression.

This...... General Shen brought back two strange things.

She didn't feel comfortable bringing these two people to Taishou, so she followed.

General Shen rode over on a fast horse, dismounted and followed behind Wen Tingting.

"General...... These two ......"

Wen Tingting whispered, General Shen said five words, Wen Tingting understood.

"Please open the door and have a drink. ”

Isn't this the job of General Song Tianbao Song?

It turns out that General Shen has this in mind......

After everyone came to the meeting room of the Taishou Mansion, Yan Taishou had been waiting in the meeting room for a long time.

"Two, it's coming pretty fast. ”

Yan Taishou looked at George and Anna with a smile, and after these two saw Yan Taishou, they didn't know what etiquette to do.

George thought for a moment, and quickly arched his hand towards Yan Taishou.

"Hello, dear sir. ”

Anna didn't seem to be moved, and the look on her side looked at her, and she had to follow George's example, and arched her hand.

"I am the Taishou of Jiangzhou Mansion, Yan Dongdong. ”

"Invite you two to come, naturally there is something to discuss. ”

General Shen Qing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that this Yan Taishou also had something?

Could it be that he has already calculated his plan?

No way...... Is this soothsayer really so amazing?

Yan Taishou took a sip of tea first, and then said to George and Anna:

"Please sit down, Xiao Jiu has tea, and we will talk while drinking. ”

George and Anna sat in the second seat, while General Shen accompanied Yan Taishou to sit in the main seat.

Wen Tingting accompanied General Shen to stand beside her, and after the tea was served, George hurriedly took a sip.

"This ...... It tasted great!"

George didn't even suspect that the tea was poisonous, so he drank it very uprightly.

And Anna, at first, refused, and later, at the instigation of George, also had a drink.

I have to say that this tea is indeed much better than those rags in the open sea.

"Mr. Yan, if there is anything wrong, please tell me quickly. ”

Anna said that she always seemed to be the one who was more anxious.

"It's not a big deal. ”

Yan Taishou said slowly:

"The Ministry of Rites sent me a letter a while ago, saying that the Jiangzhou Government is going to establish an embassy of the Ministry of Rites to deal with foreign affairs. ”

"I think there should be two foreigners in the embassy of the Ministry of Rites to help, I don't know, what do you think about this errand?"

Yan Taishou asked, and George nodded without thinking!

"Is it so that I can live in the Cloud Empire for a long time!

He definitely wanted to!

When I was the chief administrative director of the Special Investigation Bureau in the open sea, although life was not bad, the environment in the open sea was too bad.

After the end of the war, bandits were rampant, and at this time, the Mabo Federation set off another steam revolution, and the most thing in the city every day was a miasma of smoke.

Drug addicts and dishonest street thugs have teamed up to make a mess of the city.

The Special Investigation Bureau deals with these trivial things every day, and he has long been bored with it.

What he longed for was this Eastern Empire, so when Yan Taishou said this position, George agreed directly without thinking!

"George!"

Anna frowned a little resentfully.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, I have to ask. ”

"Is this work you are talking about a strict restriction of our freedom?"

Anna asked, and Yan Taishou was noncommittal.

"Foreigners in the Cloud Empire should have the power to be free. ”

However, given the special status of the two, it will take a while to be able to have proper freedom. ”

It can be said that Yan Taishou's remarks are very level.

The identity is special, the investigation is for a while, and the appropriate freedom.

Every word is restricted, making Anna feel that the person in front of her is not easy to mess with.

Nonsense, this is the soothsayer of the Cloud Empire!

Is that something that you, an assistant to the director of the open sea, can see?

"Can I say no?"

"Of course, just, as

If you refuse, you will be treated as war criminals. ”

Yan Taishou said directly, good guys, this is directly forcing them to comply!

Treating them as war criminals is equivalent to not giving them a chance!

Yan Taishou can be said to have more planning than Shen Qing in dealing with this matter, Shen Qing just made a simple thought, while Yan Taishou directly applied both soft and hard.

That's a great way to do that......

"Are you forcing me to betray my country?"

Anna asked, her emotions already starting to get a little excited.

"I do not prevent you from continuing to contact the Mabo Federation. ”

"However, during your tenure, you will not be able to return to the Mabo Federation. ”

Yan Taishou said regretfully.

Anna was so emotional that she trembled and tears flowed from her eyes.

"Honey, is this a bad thing?"

Still optimistic, George asked, and Anna slapped George in the face.

"You're a bastard!"

"It's all because of you! We were forced to leave our home, we were forced to come to this hellish place!"

"We were forced to become war criminals, victims of war!"

"It's all because of you!"

Anna hid her face and wept angrily, and Mrs. Yan took a sip of tea and said:

"Actually, I haven't said what benefits you should have, Ms. Anna, it seems too excited. ”

Yan Taishou paused and said:

"Working in the embassy of the Ministry of Rites of Jiangzhou Prefecture, the Ministry of Rites will assign a courtyard for the two of you, of course, the courtyard is not big. ”

"That is, the size of three wings, a small courtyard, and a pond is about ......"

Yan Taishou took a general look and pointed to the courtyard outside.

"It's about the size of the courtyard of my Taishou Mansion. ”

George glanced at the courtyard of the Taishou Mansion, which ......

Their house in the Mabo Federation is only about ......

This main hall is half the size.

Although he is the chief administrative secretary of the Special Investigation Bureau, he earns hard-earned money.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the large amount of subsidy funds for coming to the East this time, Anna would never have agreed to come.

After introducing the accommodations, here are the other conditions.

"Basically, there is no need to worry about the meals in the embassy of the Ministry of Rites, and the specifications will be of a relatively high standard. ”

"If possible, you can even taste the feast of Sun Zhenqiang, the king of the East China Sea. ”

Shen Qing couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Though...... She said that when she opened the door to eat and drink, the specifications were indeed not low, but the specifications that Yan Taishou said were too high!

"Given the shortage of people in the Ministry of Rites, this may be a bit of a burden, but for the two of you, I don't think it's a big problem. ”

"As for the salary level......

"The monthly salary is one hundred and fifty taels of silver per person. ”

"With the other income, the total income is probably four hundred taels of silver per person. ”

"I don't know, what do you two think?"

When he heard about this salary level, George was visibly sluggish.

And Anna, too, seems to have stopped sobbing.

Four hundred taels of silver? If it is converted to gold, it is four taels of gold?

Four taels of gold, equivalent to ten gold coins forged by the Mabo Federation.

That's a lot of money!

After all, in the Mabo Federation, the income of the two of them is not very high.

Even if it is a hard month, the final salary and bonus add up, and the two of them are about eight gold coins in total.

Moreover, this is because George is the director of administration!

On this trip to the East, the Special Investigation Bureau promised them a stipend of one hundred gold coins, which they had hoped to use to move out of the small house.

Now, someone actually told them that here, not only do they have a big house to live in, but they can also get a salary of twenty gold coins a month?

It's a dream!

"Actually, it's just a very low salary. ”

Shen Qing shook his head.

"It seems that for the Ministry of Rites, this salary level is indeed not too high. ”

Yan Taishou said, indeed, this kind of salary, even Yan Taishou's salary for one day is not enough.

Their salaries are calculated on an annual basis.

One year, one hundred thousand taels of silver.

If the salary is not counted as other income, their errand is only slightly higher than that of the yamen's servants.

"Yan Taishou, the two of them have the level of the initial realm of transforming gods. ”

Shen Qing reminded, and Yan Taishou's eyes lit up.

"If you don't mind, I still need two masters in this Taishou Mansion. ”

"Qing Shui Yamen, you can't offer a lot of salary, according to your standards in the Ministry of Rites, how about twice as much?"

George had opened his mouth wide, and Anna was speechless in shock.

"Aren't we?

Anna asked, Yan Taishou shook her head,

"If you accept this errand, you are not war criminals. ”

"The empire is always tolerant of foreign talents, and of course, you must also reflect your value. ”

Anna couldn't help but think for a moment.

Do you want to go back and continue to work for the Special Investigation Bureau?

It's better to stay and experience a new life with a high salary.

Although, here it is not very free, and it will not be easy, but, at least, there is money.

"I'm still the same, I'm willing to stay in the Cloud Empire!"

George said directly.

"I ...... Yes for now. ”

Yan Taishou and Shen Qing looked at each other and smiled.

It seems that this Mabo Federation is still very easy to deal with.

A small amount of money can make them bend their brows.

Sure enough, their bones are not as hard as those of cloud people.
