"What, you want to get rid of Oak?" Dis stood up and said in shock.

Su Hao nodded, just looking at him quietly.

Dice sat down slowly, thought for a long time, and then said: "The reason why you just said so many irrelevant words, slowly led the topic to the business atmosphere of Wocheze, and finally talked about our Nord Chamber of Commerce Wocheze Branch, just to test my tone?" ”

Su Hao said in a low voice: "This matter is very important, I must be cautious, after all, it is related to the exchange of blood of the Woche Branch, after this battle, the distribution of interests of the entire Woche Chamber of Commerce will be reshuffled, and you ......"

"It's the biggest beneficiary!"

Dees bowed his head and remained silent.

Su Hao continued: "I heard that Oak bullied the market, and many of his peers were dissatisfied with him, and the lord of the nest car, Iyaya, was also afraid of this person, and his move to raise prices was, to paraphrase an idiom in the Oriental Huaguo, that is, the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and it has violated the interests of all the lower classes of the people in the nest!" Whether it is morality, interests, or the attitudes of the major forces, as well as the aspirations of the people of the entire Nest Rules, he must die! And you, under the push of this trend, will become the leader of the Woche Branch! ”

He took a sip of water and said: "Now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be sent, the flood has been accumulated for a long time, if the gate is not opened to release water, then the entire river basin will become a country of Wang Yangze under the flood!" Today, I'm just telling you that as long as you agree to join me, then the action to get rid of Oak has a chance of winning more than 50%! You..."

"How's the idea?!"

Diese glanced at Su Hao meaningfully, and after a long time, he laughed! He suddenly threw out a piece of letterhead paper and laid it out neatly on the table, Su Hao glanced at it, and then noticed that what was written on this letterhead was all evidence of Oak's bullying and domination of the market in the past few years, the foreign bandits and the rebels, and the internal party and selfishness! Its level of detail, even Su Hao, a modern person who has traveled through, can only be admired.

Only then did Su Hao know that it turned out that this desperate businessman Dis was also thick and fine, and he had already had the intention of getting rid of Oak. And in the past few days, I have been getting along with myself, and I have not been able to reveal some dirty things about what Oak has done, but also to test my own tone! After experiencing today, Su Hao realized that the Nords were not only naturally brave and muscular, but also thick and fine, always calculating, and the delicacy of their minds was no less than that of the aristocratic upper class in medieval Europe, who were good at political struggles!

Seeing that Dis confessed, Su Hao also took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Dees said slowly: "Getting rid of Oak is not a trivial matter, the first thing we have to do is to test the attitude of another big man, only when he makes a clear statement and gets this person's approval, we can let go of this matter." Now, we can only do some preliminary preparations. ”

Su Hao asked, "Who?" ”

Dees whispered, "Lord Woche... Iaya! ”

Su Hao thought that no city lord wanted to see large-scale bloodshed within his jurisdiction, especially if this activity was secretly carried out without his own eyes... And if you act rashly like this, this is in a sense, you are challenging the authority of your lord in the woche! Oak has violated Iyaya's taboo by joining the Assassin Order and raising a butcher's knife against fellow merchants, and we cannot afford to make the same mistake again.

"Alright, tell me the character of Lord Iaya."

"Iyaya is a heroic and brave man, advocating a military policy of sword and blood to solve problems, and is a typical pro-war faction, but by no means a murderer. He is a very bottom-line person, a fair person, and firmly maintains the peace and prosperity environment within the Woche Ze, and is never biased. ”

Su Hao thought for a while and said, "Then how are you going to get his support?" ”

Dyce picked up a piece of letterhead and said, "As long as there is evidence, Iaya will support me." ”

Su Hao shook his head and said, "Evidence alone is not enough, you have to let him get some benefits." ”

Diese shook his head and said, "I don't think there is any interest in his personality that will make him tempted." ”

Su Hao smiled and said, "You are wrong, as a lord and nobleman, the most important thing is to consolidate your absolute authority over this land. What do you think, with his character, strengthen his dominion here? ”

Dice thought for a long time before he suddenly realized: "Prestige?!" ”

Su Hao nodded and said, "In this operation to get rid of Oak and his henchmen, we must use the banner of Lord Iaya!" We want all the people of the Nest to know that it is Iyaya who wants to get rid of Oak! In order to rectify the business environment inside the nest car rule, in order to eliminate the business scum inside and outside, in order to stabilize the rising prices in the nest car rule, and for the life safety of the merchant class, he... With a thunderbolt, Iaya arrested Oak, listed all his charges and evidence, and executed this heinous man in accordance with Nord law, leaving everyone speechless and applauding! ”

Eventually, his deeds will be compiled into ballads by the bards and recited to every corner of the continent of Calradia! Justice, bravery, nobility, and decisiveness, these four typical praise words will also become synonymous with Iyaya's character, and are deeply imprinted in the hearts of every person who does not know the inside story. ”

Diess concluded: "He has gained the hearts and minds of the people, and we, we will gain status, and the reshuffling of the various forces will give higher priority to the distribution of benefits... Is that right? ”

Su Hao nodded and said, "This is essentially a transaction, we take what we need... However, in the future, this Nord branch will be more or less branded with Iyaya, and at the same time, from now on, the business policy of Woche will be more inclined to you. ”

Dis nodded heavily, and immediately picked up his pen and wrote a letter, saying, "I'm going to write a letter to Lord Iyaya!" ”

Su Hao nodded and said, "I'll contact another ally." ”

Dise was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Su Hao to meet a lot of new friends on the first day he came to Wocheze, and immediately asked, "Who?" ”

"A bunch of assassins."

……

That night, in the castle where Lord Iaya lived.

Iaya had just finished washing, and the Nord overcoat armor decorated with black winged shoulder armor was hanging from the armor rack, just dressed in a close-fitting coat. He had just returned from training as a recruit, and he was in a very irritable mood.

Because 10 days ago, he just lost a battle!

He routinely led his troops on patrol, but he didn't expect that as soon as he reached the border between the Nord Kingdom and the Virginia Kingdom, he was suddenly attacked by the other party! It was night, and the other party fought undeclared, and he was caught off guard, and because of this, most of the elite of his subordinates were broken, and the large army under him also suffered heavy losses.

However, the king of Ragnar was wise and martial, and from the day he ascended the throne, he promulgated a reserve system, even if his troops suffered heavy losses, but with a sufficient number of reserves, he could make up for the shortage of regular soldiers caused by the defeat of an encounter in the short term.

But he still faces two major problems:

First, the problem of combat effectiveness: after all, the reserve is a reserve, and their combat effectiveness is far from that of the regular troops that they have been training for a long time, although King Ragnar has transferred some elite veterans and experienced low-level officers from Sagos to help him train the new army, but it is only a drop in the bucket. This problem cannot be solved overnight.

Second, the problem of people's hearts: No matter what the reason, after all, they have lost the battle, the army is panicked, people's minds have changed, their prestige has also been affected, and all forces are ready to move. Although he executed a small number of middle and low-level officers who neglected their duties and escaped from the battle, and also reported to the higher authorities and demoted them to one level and whipped them.20 But he still did the things of the lord of the nest car and temporarily stabilized the morale of the army, but this was simply a dove to quench his thirst, and he could not implement this policy for a long time... Violence has always been only an auxiliary means, not to mention that there are still many officers in the army who have made meritorious contributions for their crimes, and officers are the nerves of the army, without nerves, the army is a paralyzed patient!

And the people also have a lot of complaints about this, Woche is a commercial harbor city, the most needed thing for commercial cities is stability, but they lost the battle at this time, once the enemy soldiers come to the city, what should I do? Of course, with his own performance in power and his long-term exploits in the Virginian War, everything still seems to be calm, and rumors that are unfavorable to him have not spread widely, but... I must nip this rumor-rampant state in the bud!

But... How to kill it?

His mood was extremely anxious, like a flame burning on a pyre, intensifying, and he could not contain it with his calm personality beyond ordinary people, but became more and more vigorous! He suddenly pulled out the scimitar in his sheath and smashed one of his favorite oriental blue and white porcelain vases placed at the head of his bed!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and someone said, "It's me, my lord." ”

Iaya took a deep breath to restrain her anger, then put the sword into its scabbard before she said lightly, "Come in." ”

One of his confidants walked up and handed over a letter, saying, "My lord, there is a person outside who claims to be from the Nord Chamber of Commerce, and he says that he wants to hand over this letter to you. ”

Iaya waved her hand, "Throw the letter in the trash and send it off." ”

The soldier hesitated for a moment, then continued: "That person said that this matter is very important, please be sure to open this letter, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, he will kill himself at the gate of the castle."

"What?" Iaya stood up, it had been a long time since he had met someone who dared to threaten him in such a tone, and he stared at the soldier for a long time before taking the letter.

And the signature on the envelope is none other than Diess.
