Chapter 285: Compassion Has No Place
In the exquisite casserole, the milky white soup is tumbling, and the rich aroma lingers on it.
Little Gonzalez swallowed, he hadn't smelled it in a long time.
Not only delicious, but also nourishing, his muscles could feel the energy contained in this pot of soup.
While Yara and Barthez were upset about letting Gonzalez Jr. share the potion, the others were mostly welcoming to the Spaniard.
"Take it, I've got you a piece that is said to be the best to eat is the claws." Wu Xin also scooped a bowl of soup for Little Gonzalez, although Wu Xin's "fire" can boil most of the nutrients into the soup, but this piece of meat is still the best part, a real "elite" level nutrient.
Galile and Kessler also unceremoniously picked up a bear's paw, and then gnawed it directly, and the grumbling Dawang turned around outside the door for a long time, but after all, he didn't get a bear's paw, and finally he could only eat his own share, but it still had a bear rack to eat.
"How was it in the New World? I heard that the Marquis of Gonzalez is going to replace CortΓ©s as the governor of New Spain, and from now on, your Gonzalez family will be the number one person in the New World. "Wu Xin's intelligence system is not very sensitive, but this matter is no longer a secret in the Spanish court, and some knights in the Spanish group remember that Wu Xin mentioned that he was friends with Gonzalez Jr., so he told Wu Xin about it by the way.
"That's how it should be." Gonzalez Jr. did not hide anything, "His Royal Highness CortΓ©s is a high-ranking person, and it is time to return to Spain to accept the title and further serve the Emperor." β
"Then you will be able to do whatever you want in New Spain in the future?" Villefort said half envious, half teasingly.
"My grandfather was the Governor. I'm just a yakai at best. Little Gonzalez clearly said the word "Yanei" in Chinese, which caused Wu Xin and them to laugh, "Besides, in the New World, even the Yanai has to work hard, which is different from the Yanai of this Bright Empire." β
Wu Xin smiled with mixed feelings, and then they all deliberately reviewed the past together and did tasks together. There is also the experience of being on the island of Malta, which can be regarded as a pleasure for both guests and hosts.
After eating, Wu Xin asked little Gonzalez not to leave in a hurry: "The person who sent this bear today is in the backyard, let's go and meet her together." β
"It's the local family, why don't you invite him to eat with us?" Little Gonzalez is a little strange, there are not many big families in Quang Ninh, and it is not a small person who will contribute a bear, "This is too rude." β
"No rudeness. You'll understand when you see it. Wu Xin said with a smile.
Arriving in a gloomy room, little Gonzalez saw Villefort, who had just left early, wearing a butcher's pig robe, concocting an unlucky egg.
The man was hung on a meat hook, but not dead.
"Master Fan? Do you remember the answers to a few questions I asked? "Wu Xin has been in Guangning for so many days, in addition to training troops, he is looking for Shanxi merchants.
Although Wu Xin's knowledge of exchange does not include this part, it is when the Bright Empire is in danger. The history of the Jin merchants is in the world of the first mate Wu Xin. It's no secret.
Wu Xin found a suspicious merchant on the first day of the mission, and placed a large order in the Fan family's shop, and also paid tens of thousands of taels of silver in advance.
"Lord Wu, you slandered a good businessman like this, and you will be imprisoned for a random charge, and then your family property will be confiscated. It's just too rough and despicable. Although Fan Yongdou was tormented by Villefort in a life-and-death dilemma, his mouth was very tough, "Do you think it's still the time for Liu Jin's eunuch to take power?" Now that the Son of Heaven is in the court, Fan is famous in Zhangjiakou and Guangning, and my more than 100 catties of meat are not so delicious. β
Wu Xin didn't pay attention to him at all. Just said to Little Gonzalez: "I released news on the market, I want to buy Haidong green eggs and thousand-year-old Liao ginseng that I just picked up this year, and I have prepared tens of thousands of taels of silver just for the deposit, and this big business finally attracted Fan Yongdou, who is famous in Zhangjiakou and known for his faithfulness, and Fan Da is the shopkeeper." β
The dead teammate did not die in vain, his life brought Wu Xin a compensation and hung out the big fish.
"I see." Little Gonzalez nodded, he immediately understood who Fan Yongdou was, "It turned out to be a profiteer who sold stolen goods for elves." β
Fishing law enforcement, and there is no evidence, but Wu Xin just did it.
"You don't have any evidence at all, why should you tarnish my innocence!" Fan Yongdou was tossed enough, but he was not too afraid, this was not the first time he had dealt with Jinyiwei, which god he had not seen in Zhangjiakou? "These Liaodong specialties can't explain anything at all, I bought them from the Mongolian orcs, can't I do business with the orcs?"
"It seems that he refuses to recruit." Little Gonzalez said eagerly, "I have dealt with many Aztec thieves in the New World who are delusional about confronting the Emperor's power and destroying the harmony and stability of New Spain. β
"Oh, of course that's good." Wu Xin nodded again and again, but asked worriedly, "But don't you have to give Lord Xiong his life?" β
"There's no urgency." Little Gonzalez understood that Xiong Tingbi sent him, which in itself meant to make him have a relationship with Wu Xinla, but he thought of something and asked, "But are you sure about this matter?" I know it's suspicious that this guy can get a specialty from the elven-controlled area, but there doesn't seem to be any hard evidence. β
"It's okay, if you can't find evidence, just make evidence." Willford said with a big grin, "Anyway, this Fan Yongdou is dead this time." β
"Oh, oh." Little Gonzalez didn't say anything, he didn't do much in the New World for this kind of thing, and those Aztecs who cooperated with the Spanish conquistadors, if they didn't hug their thighs, they would have been killed on any charge, "But I'm now a subordinate of Lord Xiong, if you want to fabricate charges, I'll leave first." β
"It's okay, it's okay, when we raid this traitor's house, we'll find a chance to eat again." Wu Xin raised his hand and said, "Then I'll send you." β
When little Gonzalez walked out of the door, Delia, who had been silent, said to Wu Xin: "Why do you lie to him? β
"It's not to lie to him, it's to test him." Wu Xin has a completely different view of things.
He re-entered the secret room where Fan Yongdou was being held, a businessman known for his faithfulness who had rebelled against his toughness. In a weak tone, he begged, "I have fulfilled your request, please spare my son." β
Of course, Wu Xin would not let a half-baked Fan Yongdou show little Gonzalez, he had actually completely squeezed Fan Yongdou dry.
He took the confession handed to him by Villefort and read it carefully, grinding his teeth angrily from time to time.
This Fan Yongdou has been cooperating with Jianzhou for more than ten years, and he not only helped Jianzhou Elves sell Liaodong products. They also helped them buy food, survey maps, and sell slaves and prisoners of war.
In short, this Fan Yongdou has indeed made great contributions to national integration, and in the future, he will be ranked among the imperial merchants and become a first-class slave of the Jianzhou elves.
His confession not only contains his own family history, but also many details of his business, all of which have been signed and signed.
This was followed by evidence that made him absolutely unable to retract his confession, a topographical map of the vicinity of Quang Ninh. There were also several half-elf spies captured from his shop based on his confessions.
These people have been disguised as buddies and collected intelligence for the Jianzhou elves for more than ten years.
"Please, let my son go, you must be trustworthy in life." Fan Yongdou wailed to Wu Xin.
"Credit?" Wu Xin put away the confession, and then asked Fan Yongdou, "Your son said that you transported salt for the border troops of Xuanfu and Datong Town. Then he was severely pitted by the local bureaucrats and guards, hundreds of thousands of catties of fine Huai salt. They swallowed it all, is it true? β
"Not bad." Fan Yongdou didn't understand why Wu Xin suddenly mentioned this matter, "But it's not only the border generals and bureaucrats who hurt me, but also the acting palace of Datong, and I didn't do business on the first day, so I didn't have a good relationship." How dare I transport salt to the border army, it was the chief steward of the palace who took the money and didn't do anything, so I was defeated. β
"The clan is extremely rich, but it is indeed hateful to act like this." Wu Xin nodded. continued, "You were ruined by these hateful scumbags, in order to get the capital of Zaising, you took the topographic map of Xifengkou and Gubeikou out of the customs and went to find the Jianzhou elves, and Mrs. Hong gave you a full 10,000 taels of silver?" β
Both Xifengkou and Gubeikou are gaps in the Great Wall and are weak points that threaten the hinterland of the Central Plains.
"Yes, at that time, I was desperate, sleeping in the open with my son on my back, selling the last few iron pots to the orcs, and then crossing the Horqin steppe and going to Hetuala." Although Fan Yongdou was already in prison, when he heard Wu Xin mention this period of the past, he still had a high-spirited spirit, "I am a human with no way, and I desperately sent the map, but his elven guards did not beat me at all, and treated me completely politely, I saw Sibeile that day." Hmph, compared to the fourth Belle, these things in the Empire of Light are like pigs and dogs. β
The fourth Baylor is Hong Tai.
Wu Xin was noncommittal, and continued: "Since then, you have been engaged in triangular trade in Zhangjiakou, transporting elven skins and Dongzhu into the pass, transporting the grain in the pass to the elves and orcs, and selling the human women captured by the elves to the orcs. There is no bullying in business, never shoddy, and never indiscriminately. β
"The most important thing in doing business and being a man is to be faithful." Fan Yongdou nodded.
"Faith is indeed a good thing." Wu Xin also nodded, "The faithfulness of Shopkeeper Fan really impresses me, you confessed the spies in your shop, but you did not confess the list of bureaucrats who cooperated with the Elves of the Bright Empire and Jianzhou, presumably because you promised Mrs. Hong that you would confess those half-elves when necessary, but you would never confess those traitors?" β
Wu Xin's words made Fan Yongdou's face pale, and the last secret he kept was the list of officials in Guangning City who cooperated with the Jianzhou Elves.
He finally shook his head: "This is the only request that Si Belle has for me, we have agreed, everything else can be said, elf and half-elf spies can be sold, those spies know their own risks when they accept the task, and it is their fate to die, only the names of those officials who cooperate with the Jianzhou elves cannot be said, I promised four Belles." β
"Shopkeeper Fan, you disappointed me so much, you also promised me, as long as I let your son go, you will tell me all the secrets you know." Wu Xin's tone revealed Sen Leng's killing intent, "What kind of faith is this?" β
Fan Yongdou's face was like ashes, but in the end he raised his head and said to Wu Xin: "I made an agreement with Sibeile, and I and Sibeile are heart-to-heart, trust and benefit each other, and Deputy Commander Wu is just bullying me with force, which is not a real promise." β
Without Wu Xin to speak, Villefort and Barthez moved together and beat Fan Yongdou fiercely.
After a beating, Villefort was not satisfied, and he was about to rip off one of Fan Yongdou's nails, but Wu Xin stopped him.
"Don't waste time, it's useless to torture him." Wu Xin turned to Kessler's head and said, "You go and bring his son." β
After a while, Fan Yongdou's son, who was also tortured and inhuman, was brought in.
Fan Yongdou's son is only a teenager, and after seeing Fan Yongdou, he cried.
"Cut off one of his ears." But Wu Xin did not waver at all.
"No, no, no."
"Daddy, Daddy."
In the midst of the father's and son's cries and begs for mercy, Villefort cut off one of the young man's ears.
Then Wu Xin walked up to their father and son, and stepped on his son's face, making him cry: "Now I ask you again, who in Guangning City, colluded with the Jianzhou Elves?" β
Fan Yongdou's lips trembled, and heaven and man fought.
However, Wu Xin had already made up his mind, he looked into Fan Yongdou's eyes, and then said to Villefort: "One eye." β
It is about the fate of hundreds of millions of compatriots in the Empire of Light, and "benevolence" is "weakness".
β¦β¦β¦
When Gonzalez Jr. returned to Xiong Tingbi's mansion, he had been hesitant to report to his grandfather that Wu Xin had arrested a suspicious businessman.
Although in front of his grandfather, when summarizing the previous reincarnation tasks, he belittled Wu Xin as worthless.
This is, of course, out of jealousy.
But Gonzalez's feelings for Wu Xin are very weak, jealous, but only faint jealousy.
Wu Xin established his own power in the Black Continent?
A city with a population of tens of thousands?
Wow, that's really enviable, jealous and hateful, but he Gonzalez is also very good in the New World, and he also has hundreds of slaves, and a single sentence can change a tribe with a population of tens of thousands for a chief.
So for him, the importance of the main plane is far greater than that of the reincarnation world.
The reincarnation world was already a great burden for him, and the few missions to deal with Hong Taihe and dismantling the illusion node were far more dangerous than the battle with the Aztecs in the New World.
Although there were many dangerous moments in the New World, the Spanish conquistadors were overwhelming on the whole.
In the world of reincarnation, this is not the case, and it is not at all Gonzalez's idea to actively fight among himself on the basis of an already dangerous mission.
And Wu Xin showed great kindness, signed a fat receipt without saying a word, and invited him to eat such delicious nutrients.
Although this little white face has something quite hateful, but it really wants to harm him, and it is a huge risk to harm him, and little Gonzalez really can't make up his mind.
Walking to the door of the Jingluo Yamen, little Gonzalez made up his mind not to go to Xiong Tingbi to recover his life, and let his grandfather delay a little time to know the situation.
But what excuse do you have to make?
As soon as little Gonzalez looked up, he saw that there was a warehouse, and Han Chu ordered Steward Han to study there.
Isn't that what he got from here, and isn't it a good excuse to hand over the receipts here?
"Steward Han, I'm here to restore my life." (To be continued.) )
