When Sling saw the dozen or so corpses lying flat on the ground, his face could no longer be described as difficult to describe. His subordinate Waite's voice was steady, but it was very low, and he seemed to be in a particularly heavy mood, and he said, "General, the dead have been counted, and a total of seventeen people have died. Thirteen of them were identified as people from the Geplin Manor on Heavenly Garden Street. Among them were Mr. Goplin's wife, Mrs. Gisna, his two sons, his butler Peter, and nine other servants. The other four are unidentified and are pending further investigation. What can be confirmed is that they are related to the three people on Avenue Seven who were killed by Sir Allen. ”

Sling glanced at him.

"First of all, these people all have masks on their faces. Although the three bodies on Avenue Seven were unrecognizable, the ceramic shards recovered from the bodies proved to be of the same material as the mask worn by the mysterious deceased on Garden Street. In addition, none of these people have obvious identity marks, so they should have deliberately concealed them. Also, judging by the weapons and tools they scattered, these people should be killers, and their strength will not be too bad. ”

"Naturally, it won't be too bad, otherwise it would be impossible to kill the Gepling family quietly." Sling raised his forehead and said, "What about Geplin now?" ”

"It is said that Mr. Goplin left the city of Sardinia the day before yesterday for business reasons. I've sent him informed, and he should be back in the next few days. ”

Sling shook his head and said, "I don't even know how to talk to Geplin, how this happened. What about the rest of Garden Street? ”

Waite smiled wryly: "It's bad, I don't know who used the powerful ability or weapon." In short, most of the streets of Garden Street have been razed, and there are two estates affected, but fortunately no one was injured. But now, the old men are angry and ask us why we let this happen in the Garden of Heaven. ”

Sling sighed and said, "What did Sir Allen say there?" ”

Waite replied, "He didn't say anything, he just said that the three dead men attacked him and he killed them." ”

"What a casual kill...... Sling sneered: "It all started in the Heavenly Garden, and I don't know what kind of characters live there." Which of those people had anything to do with this knight? There was a battle in the Heavenly Garden, and it was later proved that there was a chase between Garden Street and Avenue Seven. There were quite a few people who witnessed this, and it was not an attack on Allen, but rather like the knight was hiding something. Or, protecting the targets of those killer hunts? ”

Waite thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you let me go and invite him?" ”

"What are you going to do, please? Let him see us make a fool of ourselves? Sling exasperated, "Didn't you look at the records of the city guards, the knight had already shown that the incident on Avenue Seven was an attack against him. There has been an attack on the Imperial Viscount in a city under my jurisdiction, and whatever the knight wants to hide, I must first give a satisfactory answer to this incident. Until we have any evidence, there is absolutely no way for us to take an Imperial Viscount. ”

"What does the general mean?"

Sling snorted: "These people can't come out of thin air, if they want to enter the city, someone must first forge their identities for them." Otherwise, they would not have been able to pass the gate alone. Do you think that all of them are Ten Holy Powerhouses, and they can come and go? Secondly, our Bucks Army did not receive any news before this. Obviously, the unsightly rats in the city have provided them with cover, and if you go and find out all those rats for me, I don't believe I can't find a clue! ”

Wei nodded and went to do it.

Even so, Sling's heart was heavy. Quite simply, it happened on Heavenly Garden Street, and all the personnel of a manor were wiped out. It would never be an accident for such a thing to happen, if it was a deliberately arranged murder, then there would be many people involved behind it. And most of these characters, whether they are victims or masterminds, are not something that he can afford to offend as a general of the Bucks Army.

As long as this matter is not handled well, Sling's situation will become very embarrassing. When he thought of this, how could he be relaxed.

That night, the slums of Sardinia were full of chickens and dogs. The iron whistle of the Bucks Guard never stopped for a moment, and it was not until the middle of the night that everything gradually fell silent.

After breakfast the next day, Alan took Edward, Sean, and a few businessmen to the Chamber of Commerce in Sardinia City. Walking into the golden hall of the guild hall, several bigwigs from the business circles of Slynn and Sardinia City were already present. Seeing Allen coming, Slin and the others hurriedly got up and greeted them warmly. Sling's face didn't look very good, and he barely smiled on his face and introduced it to Allen.

In addition to Sling and his old subordinate Waite, there were only three other men and one woman. All four of them were big men in the city who would make Sardinia tremble when they stomped their feet. The youngest of them was a man named Elon, who was in his forties. The facial features on the square face are clear, the face is white and beardless, and the whole person gives Alan a very clean feeling. He always had a gentle smile on his face when he was introduced, and he didn't feel any pressure at all. If you walk on the street, I'm afraid you will think of him as an ordinary person.

But such a man in ordinary clothes and with a modest expression is the chairman of the Flying Elephant Merchant Group. The Flying Elephant Business Group operates a wide range of businesses, including high-end hotels, shipping, horse breeding and horse ransom, etc. The largest of these industries is shipping, with seven super merchant ships and nearly a hundred small and medium-sized passenger cargo ships, and every year the ships of the Flying Elephant Merchant Group are busy shuttling through the ports of the Empire. Even in the Northland, the Flying Elephant Merchant Group has a lot of fame.

Mark, who was standing with Elon, was an old man in a sixtieth year. Old age spots of different shades had appeared on his wrinkled skin, and Mark, whose hair had turned gray, was the only gray-blue eyes with a sharp aura, and there was no twilight that an old man should have. The old man had a typical hawk nose, which made him look rather stern and ruthless. In fact, he is also a person who does not smile, and when Sling introduced him, he did not have a smile on his face, but looked Alan up and down with a pair of sharp eyes, as if to see him through.

Mark is the chairman of the Golden Falcon, a group of fur buyers who are the largest buyers of fur in the south. There is even a beast hunting group called "Eagle Eye" under the merchant group, which is full of first-class hunters in the southern realm, and there is even no shortage of real powerhouses.

As for Angela, she is a woman, and this lady is the chairman of the ruby crown. Ruby Crown is actually an alliance of more than a dozen chambers of commerce engaged in the jewelry industry, and Angela is elected by the presidents of each chamber of commerce, responsible for managing the affairs of the entire trade group, and even planning the future development of the trade group. Angela has always been known for her unique vision, and in the ten years since she became the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce under the Ruby Crown has maintained an annual wealth growth rate of 25%.

The last Peter is the chairman of the Sword and Tiger Merchant Group, Peter is a well-deserved fat man, his bloated ten fingers are full of rings with various colored gems, and several necklaces around his neck, typical of the nouveau riche. But he is such a ridiculous-looking fat man, his sword and tiger merchant group owns two large mercenary unions, engaged in weapons and equipment, and even the ransom of slaves and war horses.

This fat man can be said to be a person, rich and rich. Even if Sling spoke to him, he had to be polite.

The presence of these four people can determine the economic lifeblood of most of Sardinia. If he could win one of them as an ally, Allen's trip to Sardinia would not be a waste. Sling said, and at the same time gave a brief introduction to Allen. In fact, about Allen's origin, which of these people is not well-informed and well-informed, they probably don't know less about Allen than Sling, so Slin doesn't have to talk much.

Alan pushed Sean and several other businessmen out, and after making an introduction, said, "Regarding the affairs of the mall, Mr. Sean can be my plenipotentiary. We have expertise in worsted fabrics, muskets and artillery, and if you are interested in the bigwigs of Sardinia, you may wish to consult Mr. Sean. ”

The four big businessmen of Elon have extremely high vision, and if they are just ordinary businessmen, it will be difficult for them to enter their eyes. In the fabric business like worsted fabrics, they won't be able to look at it. But muskets and artillery are another matter, the empire is still martial, and this is the same from the north to the south. In addition, the large and small wars set off by the lords around the country, the weapons and equipment, especially the fire. Medicine, guns, and guns are not worried, and there is no market.

Hearing Allen mention the musket and artillery, the fat Peter of the four, who was mainly engaged in weapons and equipment, first lit up his eyes, and the fat man smiled so much that there was only one slit left in his eyes, and asked: "Listen to the tone of the adults, you have your own weapons workshop?" ”

"Not only that, but we also have first-class master craftsmen. This time, we happened to be carrying a batch of guns to the Northlands. If Mr. Peter is interested, I can show you the power and performance of our new musket. ”

"That's great." The fat man glanced at Sling: "I think General Slin is also interested in taking a look, if the musket you provide can catch up with the Imperial standard musket used by the Bucks Army, then I want as many goods as you have." ”

Alan smiled faintly and said, "When we came over this morning, we brought a new type of musket with us, so we didn't know if there was a place to display it in the hall." ”

The noble lady Angela smiled: "This is simple, I have asked you to prepare immediately, you wait a moment." ”

She left for the time being.

Taking advantage of this moment, Allen glanced at General Sling, intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "General Sling, I don't know if the identities of those murderers on Avenue Seven last night have been found out?" ”
