Of course, Qiao Wenhan can't be Qiao Yuheng's nephew. No matter how you look at it, his young appearance is much bigger than Qiao Yuheng. In fact, in terms of seniority within the family, Qiao Wenhan should be Qiao Yuheng's uncle. He was an old man who was specially selected to do this. But he didn't expect that Su Hao didn't give face at all, and directly made a joke that was enough to make people angry.

What's more, he also used the term "illegitimate child". Among the aristocracy, this is simply a naked slap in the face.

The Qiao family is not an aristocracy. They don't have knighthoods, and they're not even knights canonized by the Empire at all. Becoming an aristocrat is not as simple as having a position of wealth. The most important admission ticket is the title and title.

There are many merchants in the Human Empire. The large-scale use of space converters has made the accumulation of wealth extremely rapid. In the past few hundred years, the total wealth of the Human Empire has skyrocketed tenfold, all thanks to the flow of materials between the Overworld and the Space Realm in the third stage. On the other hand, the dark world also benefits for the same reason. This also weakened the act of war between the Dark World and the Human Empire, and the number and intensity of battles continued to ease. And the merchants, who quickly grew into the backbone of the empire's wealth.

The Qiao family has been seeking nobility. At the same time, it is also expanding its wealth.

Setting up toll points on this highway is the most important part of the Qiao family's painstaking planning. Along with this, there is a series of newly built settlements along the road. Of course, they are all only on the drawing board and are only a plan that has not yet been implemented. But as long as the highway is controlled, it also means continuous investment in the surrounding area, and the benefits will increase.

"Watch your words."

Qiao Wenhan still had his hands behind his back, but the armed guards behind him walked forward, forming a semicircle with him as the core around him, although he did not level the muzzle, the vigilance and hostility on his face were clear.

"Whatever you think, toll collection is a foregone conclusion."

Looking at Su Hao, who was expressionless, Qiao Wenhan's mind was full of anger, and a rare trace of pleasure and abuse suddenly appeared. He sneered and said, "You're that Su Hao in Konoha Town, right?" I've heard your name. A very nice young man, ruthless, cunning and cruel. You killed my younger brother, Qiao Yuheng. You also snatched Konoha Town from my other younger brother, Qiao Tianyu. But you have to understand that things like robbery and robbery must be based on your own personal ability. You can't swallow everything, although you tricked Qiao Tianyu into signing the transfer agreement, you still can't control the entire town. ”

Su Hao glanced at him, and a strange gaze flashed in his eyes: "Why?" ”

"Because you don't understand the rules, and at the same time you repeatedly break the rules that everyone agrees on."

Qiao Wenhan tightened his face and said with high vigilance and hostility, "Konoha Town is too far away from the inner territory of the empire. Only Qiao Tianyu, a strange-thinking guy, would think of setting up a settlement in this kind of place. However, as things stand, the income from the fur trade is so-so, but for those who live there, how to make ends meet has become the most troublesome trouble. ”

Saying that, Qiao Wenhan looked at Zhang Huahua and laughed again: "That's right, I ordered your truck and goods to be detained." Those things are not worth a lot of money, but they are essential for people who live outside all year round. As a word of advice, it's better to forget about those trucks. The fee here is 50 percent. In other words, no matter how much goods you pass through with you, you will have to pay a fee equivalent to half of the value. It doesn't matter if you're bringing gold or worthless rubbish, it's all the same. ”

Su Hao's eyes were gloomy, and he exhaled a long sullen breath from the depths of his nostrils.

He had already understood what Qiao Wenhan wanted to express.

The purpose of a card is not to collect money. Instead, he wanted to use this reasonable and legal behavior to put a noose around Konoha Town's neck. According to this method of charging up to 50 percent, the profits of the caravans to and from Konoha Town will become extremely meager, or even no profit at all. Once this happens, the trade routes are completely cut off.

Most of the daily necessities of Konoha Town cannot be produced by itself, and even if they are transported from the space field, they must consider a series of issues such as the increase of the passage and the actual control area within the space. Due to the limitations of space access, the goods currently transported from within the field are limited to food, vegetables and fruits. In order to solve this problem once and for all, it is also necessary to turn in more Zircons through the main army of the "Iron Warriors".

Su Hao calculated that if he really wanted to merge the space field and Konoha Town as a whole, and rely on space production to meet the normal material needs of Konoha Town, it would take at least a year, or even longer.

The interior of the space is also a world of its own. Although the progress of civilization is slow and the technology is not advanced, social hierarchies and countries have emerged. Being able to persuade Viscount Sazabi and even coax and trick him into getting a foothold from him is already the limit of Su Hao's current ability. Although there are tens of thousands of residents in Konoha Town, and the townspeople also trust him as the mayor, not everyone is worthy of Su Hao's trust. Until the scale of the "swarm" is further expanded and the number of small town armed guards cannot continue to increase, there will be no further exploration of the space field. Naturally, the various materials obtained from it are still limited in quantity and must be replenished by commercial practices from within the Empire.

From the day it appeared, the toll booth was a gold-swallowing beast that could only enter and exit. Su Hao didn't believe in the so-called "road management" on Wen Jiàn at all, and the reason why the Qiao family was able to get official permission should have spent a lot of money and a lot of effort behind it. However, as things stand, they have no intention of recouping their investment. In fact, it simply can't be done. There weren't many caravans coming and going on this road, and at best they were enough to meet the daily consumption of Konoha Town. Once the card is charged, the merchants will have no interest in continuing this unprofitable business.

Their purpose is to completely blockade Konoha Town and completely cut off the connection between it and the inner regions of the empire.

Su Hao calmly pressed the communicator button on his shoulder, and his gaze became as cold as a wolf. He stared at Qiao Wenhan and said, "I have always been very principled in doing things. For Qiao Tianyu's sake, I'll give you one last chance: take these people to move away from the obstacles on the road, and then, immediately disappear from my sight. ”

With a commanding tone, Qiao Wenhan was furious. He looked stern: "Is what I just said not clear enough?" Or are you illiterate? Can't read the content on the text? Now, the jurisdiction of this road belongs to me and belongs to the Qiao family. ”

Su Hao smiled and changed to a very casual standing posture: "You have five minutes." Again, the reason why I did this was entirely because of Qiao Tianyu. Smart people will choose to leave right away instead of standing there stupidly waiting to die. ”

"What, you want to kill me? You want to kill me? ”

Qiao Wenhan seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and laughed out loud: "What do you want?" Do you think that the laws of the empire are useless words on paper? Dare to lead someone to set up a toll booth in such a place, do you think I'm a brainless idiot? Okay come kill me, I'm standing here waiting. As long as you do it, the news will immediately reach the inner territory of the empire, and the police will take the initiative to come and ask you for trouble. Everything you swallow will spit out one by one, and you will become a felon, either with capital punishment or ...... Not? Over there, what's that? ”

Thick clouds of smoke and dust appeared on the horizon, and the ground soon felt the weight of the tires and the roar of the engine. A few minutes later, dozens of combat vehicles of different models converged from several directions. They had previously waited for reinforcements from a few kilometers away according to Su Hao's order. This is done for two reasons. The first is to try to narrow things down to the extent that they can be solved in words. Su Hao knew that he had made too many enemies, and if he solved the problem within an acceptable range, he didn't mind making some concessions, and there was no need to publicly expose his strength. If it is the second option, it means that it must be resolved in a violent way. At such times, there is no need for a large number of armed men and convoys to continue to hide.

The situation at the scene suddenly became tense. A trace of panic flashed in Qiao Wenhan's eyes, but his expression still looked angry. He quickly glanced at the fearsome chariots and mercenaries on the other side, and said viciously, "I thought you were a smart man. Unexpectedly, he was a short-sighted guy. Do you know what you fall into? You are challenging the authority of the Imperial Law, and I will record this qiē and send it to the supervision department of 44 Pei right now. ”

As he spoke, Qiao Wenhan waved his arm, and the guard standing behind him immediately took out a small camera and pointed the camera at Su Hao and the others who were standing opposite.

Zhang Huahua looked a little nervous. This situation has been out of the original estimate. She suddenly regretted it, feeling that she had caused trouble to Su Hao. After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Huahua quietly pulled Su Hao's clothes and whispered timidly: "Mayor Town, I'm going to forget about the goods that have been detained."

"Forget it? Why? ”

Su Hao didn't hide it at all, turned his body directly, let Zhang Huahua go in front of the other party's camera lens, and said with a smile: "I originally thought similar to you, but these guys are obviously unwilling to do what I say." When it comes to the law, they are the tramplers of the laws of the Empire. ”

As he spoke, Su Hao raised his right hand and swung it down heavily, giving out a cruel order that Qiao Wenhan was afraid of and never dreamed of.

"Kill them all, leave not one behind"

There was no suspense about the outcome of the battle.

Qiao Wenhan is a businessman at heart. Although it is strict and full of deterrent power on the outside, it is useless in terms of actual combat effectiveness. Although the number of bodyguards under his command is large, they are all trained in security companies in the inner region of the empire, and only about one-third of the relevant subjects are related to actual combat, which is subdivided, that is, fighting and shooting. Most of the rest of the courses are about etiquette and personal cultivation, rather than the imaginary combat skills training

The reason why wealthy businessmen and aristocrats hire bodyguards is, of course, for their own safety. However, they rarely travel to the borderlands, and the bustling inner realm of the empire itself is safe, and in order to maintain the public image of their employers, it is naturally impossible for the security company to choose a fierce and ugly guy as a bodyguard. Generally speaking, the most popular among employers is the kind of middle-aged man who is tall, has a cold expression, and can always use his gaze to shock the crowd. This is indeed in line with the image of a tough guy on the screen. They tend to have strong muscles, and they can smash car windows with a single punch, and they are loved by many deep boudoir girls who are obsessed with resentful women, and even feel that their mouths are dry and itchy just by looking at them. In this case, the price offered by the employer for a bodyguard with an excellent image and temperament must be much higher than that of a roe deer, and it looks uncomfortable.

Being a bodyguard in the Human Empire is actually selling face. Of course, when necessary, the bodyguard must also wear many hats, making a cameo appearance as the young lady's boyfriend, the lady's pool partner, the employer when he is drunk, and so on.

Qiao Wenhan's armed men are almost such a group of people. It should be admitted that each of them can skillfully operate firearms, and when it comes to weapon performance, the action of pulling out the gun and aiming is also completely in line with the image of a tough guy on the movie screen, mighty and full of shock. However, they are no match for a group of mercenaries who hunt dark creatures on the fringes for years.

What's more, the dozen or so infantry fighting vehicles under Su Hao are by no means toys on the surface, but powerful killing machines.

It was almost a one-sided slaughter.

Qiao Wenhan's left eye was pierced by a bullet, and this fatal shot was a kind of preferential treatment for him. His body was still intact due to the rapid fall, and the dense machine-gun bullets only broke the lower part of the body, but it was enough for ⊥ people to see his true face.

Su Hao divided half of his men to continue the attack on the temporary camp located on the side of the road. More than a dozen tents have been erected there, stacked with a large number of construction materials and various daily necessities, including the truck and goods that Zhang Huahua had previously detained. Qiao Wenhan brought almost all the guards over, and there were only a dozen or so people there to maintain. After a brief and rapid roar of machine guns, silence returned.

Vimore walked over from Su Hao with a hot assault rifle, kicked the corpse lying on the ground with the tip of his boot, looked at the smashed camera with considerable concern, and asked without raising his head: "These guys look prepared." To be honest, I also think your order was too hasty. But now that you've made the decision, you'll definitely have a reason. I've seen this type of camera, it has a network setup, and the signal image is transmitted instantly with the radio waves. Now, there must be a lot of people who know that there is a qiē born here. Well...... How are you going to deal with this? ”

Su Hao didn't answer, he called Zhang Huahua, who was counting the goods in the distance, pointed to the body of Qiao Wenhan, who was lying on the ground and was beaten to only half of it, and said seriously: "I helped you get your things back, should you do me a favor?" ”

Zhang Huahua was a little weak, two blush oozed from her chubby face, her body trembled nervously, and asked, "You, what do you want me to do?" ”

Su Hao strode to the triangular barricades lying across the road, raised his foot, stepped on one heavily, grabbed a long, hard wooden pole, checked it in his hand, and then tightened the wooden pole, carried it on his shoulder, threw it out like a javelin thrower, and inserted it diagonally into the land in front of Zhang Huahua.

"Plug him in and put him up."

Su Hao's voice was cruel and cold: "All corpses are disposed of like this. Remember, rinse their face well so that everyone can see it. ”

Of course, the number of wooden poles was not enough, so Su Hao ordered Konoha Town to transport a batch. Hours passed, and it was getting dark as people were busy at the scene of the killing, and several bodies had been erected on the side of the road.

It's not a lot of work, but it's cumbersome. Su Hao didn't return to Konoha Town until late at night.

It wasn't until noon on the third day that Su Hao received an urgent communication from the 441st Infantry Division.

Brigadier General Baddam's figure looks particularly burly on the screen, perfectly covering up his small stature. The general looked very angry, and as soon as he saw Su Hao, he immediately burst out into a roar.

"Did you kill those people on the PDGUUU31 section? Do you know what it means to do that? They weren't dark creatures, they were all citizens of the Empire with official status. Bastard, even if you're going to kill, why don't you clean up your hands and feet? Do you know that the dead people filmed live footage at the scene, and even the sounds and actions of the people you ordered to kill were handed over to the Imperial Police Headquarters as evidence. What exactly do you want? Why do you have to put all those bodies on the side of the road? Are you crazy? ”

Su Hao smiled calmly: "I did this out of self-defense. Since they used the footage as evidence, they should be able to see that when the two sides confronted each other, part of the footage also included their scattered surroundings. They are armed with weapons, and they are weapons of mass destruction that are under the control of the Empire. ”

"That's not the point"

Baddam kept blowing his beard and glaring, his fists constantly waving heavily in the air: "You shouldn't have killed those people, you should have dealt with them more gently." You know? You've made a big hole, and now I'm afraid no one will be able to save you. Not even if you're a servant of the Iron Warriors. ”

"Really?"

Su Hao continued to smile: "Then can you sue me, general, what role do you play in this matter?" ”
