In the evening, Hua Long had just had dinner in the Prime Minister's Mansion when he was invited back by Count Auno.

Earl of Auno, study.

As soon as he walked into the study, he didn't know if it was a psychological effect or reality, the room with the fire made Hua Long feel very warm, and as soon as he entered, Count Auno beckoned him to sit on the sofa.

"Father. Hua Long shook his father's hand with both hands.

Count Onno suddenly felt a warm current flow from his son's palm to his body, although he didn't say anything, but Count Onno was very pleased.

"What did the Prime Minister say today, has anyone been selected for the vacancy in the Northern Governor's Palace?" asked Count Auno with concern.

In fact, since the Mozart Commander on the Marshal's side was secretly demoted by Mingsheng, Count Auno's heart has been worried, after all, in his opinion, balance is the foundation of settling down in this undercurrent of the court, and the promotion of Mozart's Commander has obviously broken this balance, in his heart, he also does not want the next person to be arranged to be Prime Minister Rongte's person, in that case, it may not be a good thing for either Hua Long or his father.

"I let Ah Lei take the position!" Hua Long immediately said lightly.

"Are?" Count Ionno, apparently unheard of the name, and immediately asked in surprise, "Who is he?"

"It's a centurion under Xingxue. Hua Long explained.

"Why him?"

Hua Long said calmly: "I recommend it." ”

Seeing his son's stupid appearance, Count Auno almost laughed out loud, "Then the prime minister agreed?"

"Hmm!" Hua Long nodded affirmatively.

In fact, when Hua Long proposed to let Ah Lei take the position of commander of a thousand soldiers, he was already sure that the prime minister would agree, and he would not doubt himself.

The reason is simple, because Arley was born into a small nobleman, and he was talented, and most importantly, he did not have any factions, and if he was allowed to fill the vacancy of Mozart, the chancellor would not be afraid of being gossiped.

Therefore, based on the above considerations, Prime Minister Rongte agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"The prime minister did the right thing, so it really won't be true. After thinking about this relationship, Count Auno immediately nodded and said approvingly.

Although the Count of Onno did not like the old fox of the Prime Minister Ronte, he sometimes had to admire him, and even be impressed by his wisdom.

Ginger is still old and spicy!

If Count Onno is allowed to do it, I am afraid that he will not be able to think of so many key nodes for a while.

And then, Count Aonno also inquired in detail about the relationship between Hua Long and Xue Ya, as well as his situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but of course Hua Long reported good news and not bad news, and he didn't want his father to worry, so half an hour later, Hua Long walked out of Count Aurno's study.

It's just that outside the door, Hua Long "unexpectedly" met his younger brother Hua Yun, although he looked like he was going to see his father, but, judging from the color of the vulture between his eyebrows, Hua Long's heart was very clear that this guy was waiting for him here.

"Congratulations, you've been promoted to a second-class knight in just a few days. Seeing Hua Long come out, Hua Yun immediately congratulated him in different hearts.

However, for his brother's ulterior motives, Hua Long just smiled and did not answer.

"By the way, has the vacancy in the Northern Governor's Mansion been filled?" Ignoring Hua Long's ignorance, Hua Yun continued to ask.

This time, Hua Long nodded slightly, and answered him truthfully, after all, even if he wanted to, he couldn't hide this kind of thing, with Hua Yun's current identity and status, he had a way to inquire about it, not to mention that he didn't have to hide it.

Then, the brothers talked about it for a while, but the content was basically that Hua Yun wanted to get some useful information out of his mouth, and Hua Long also skillfully coped with the past.

......

Chengdong Civilian Compound.

In order to celebrate the safe return of the boss Shabak, and also for the destruction of the Axe Gang, the gangsters of the Heaven and Earth Society specially held a grand party.

Around the roaring bonfire, men and women sang and danced, and the children were all smiling.

Shabak was deeply moved, and after drinking some wine with his companions, he sat alone under the big tree in the middle of the courtyard.

"What's wrong? sullen?" an old man walked over, the previous leader of the Heaven and Earth Society.

"I'm not sure about the future. Shabak replied truthfully.

The old man smiled and then clapped his hands: "Everyone come here!"

Soon there were people standing under the big tree, including young men, women with thick arms and fat waists, ignorant children, and even old people over eighty years old.

"Shabak, do you know why they didn't leave like those people?" the old man pointed to the group of people gathered behind him, looking at Shabak, and the people he was referring to were naturally those who had joined the Axe Gang.

At this moment, Shabak did not speak.

"Because we are a family! We are a real family! No matter how you face the future, please believe that you still have us behind you!" the old man said in a loud voice again.

And the people standing behind him immediately responded in unison.

"No matter what happens in the future, we will follow you!"

"Yes!

“......”

The support of his companions made Shabak, an iron-clad man, suddenly cry, this was the first time he cried! No, this was the first time he had cried as a man, and tears of happiness seemed to be unstoppable like spring water.

"Then let's do something!" Shabak shouted, and stepped aside.

Under the surprised gaze of the thugs, Tarex walked forward slowly.

"He's?" asked Shabak.

"I believe in someone!" Seeing everyone's puzzled faces, Shabak reintroduced: "The name Tarex may not have been heard of by everyone, but he still has an identity, that is, the staff of the Northern Governor!"

"The staff of the Northern Governor?" everyone below was stunned!

What's going on?

They knew very well that Shabak had been caught in the dungeon by the people of the Northern Governor before, so what was going on now......

There was a whisper below, and none of them could figure out why the Northern Governor's staff was here!

"Please be quiet!Listen to me!" Shabak suddenly pressed his hands downward, interrupting everyone's whispering, "I know everyone is confused, but what I want to tell you is that the Axe Gang was exterminated by the Northern Governor!"

"Moreover, I have also decided to follow the Northern Governor from now on to achieve a career!"

At this time, Shabak's tone was very impassioned, and he had the courage of a strong man to leave, and this courage almost instantly infected everyone below.

"The boss's decision is our decision!"

"Follow the Boss!"

“......”

After a few breaths, the people who had not fully figured out what had happened had already quickly expressed their hearts under this infection, although they did not know what the Northern Governor was going to do, nor did they know what had happened to Shabak in the past few days, but they still chose to believe in Shabak, the boss.

And this is also the fundamental intention of Tarex to do such a thing before, after all, if he just wants to kill the Axe Gang, for Tarex, there are undoubtedly hundreds of methods, but he chose the most complicated one, in order to let the Heaven and Earth Society, to which Shabak belongs, go to its dross and save its essence, and only those who fully trust and obey can open up a smooth way for Hualong to move forward.

That night, Tarex spoke to them a lot, and everyone in Shabak listened very attentively, so that after Tarex's speech, everyone was attracted to the world that Tarex depicted.

Suddenly, their motivation became more and more vigorous!

Next, Tarex selected some young, energetic and flexible people among the crowd, and he arranged with Shabak to the mercenary organization to learn the art of intelligence.

As for the others, Tarex also taught them some basic techniques such as probing, tracking, camouflage, and cipher signals as much as possible based on what they had learned and known, after all, during the ten days that Shabak and the others went to study, Tarex also hoped that all the remaining people could move immediately and do their best to find out the whereabouts of Qiulik, even if they didn't succeed, at least they could feel the atmosphere, not to mention what if they succeeded?

Of course, since collecting intelligence for a long time will naturally affect the daily livelihood of the gangsters, Tarex also made a promise on behalf of Hualong that regardless of whether they can obtain valuable clues and intelligence, Hualong will pay them a certain fee, provided that they no longer regard themselves as gangsters of the Heaven and Earth Society.

And this means that after the fall of the Axe Gang, another major gang in the Cold Moon Imperial Capital, the Heaven and Earth Society, has since announced its disbandment, thus disappearing from people's sight.

......

At the same time, an ordinary family in the civilian area.

"What's wrong with you?" said an old woman lying on the bed in a small, dilapidated room.

"Pay the taxes. ”

The old woman's wife groped for a copper coin from her pocket and shook her head helplessly.

The old woman smiled suddenly, "Are you old foolish?

"No?" the old man was a little incredulous, "really not?"

"There really isn't any!"

The old man put the only copper coin back into his clothes and sighed, "It's good to have no gangsters, but what can I do? The annual tax handed over to the empire has not yet been settled......

The two old men suddenly fell into a helpless silence!

There was a knock on the door.

The old man nervously clenched the copper coin in his arms and asked cautiously, "Who?"

"Imperial Revenue Bureau!" shouted the man outside the door very unceremoniously.

The old man who had come to collect taxes let out a long sigh and opened the door, but just as he was about to beg for a period of grace, he was surprised to find that in addition to the tax collector, there were soldiers of the Imperial Guard standing outside the door.

"Take it!"

Surprisingly, before the old man could speak, the tax collector directly took out a bag of coins and handed it to him, "Count to see if it is nine silver coins and one hundred and thirty-two copper coins." ”

"This?" the old man was confused, he had never seen so much money.

"Lord Beidu has exterminated the Axe Gang, so return the money collected to everyone!" The same sentence The tax collector has obviously said countless times today, obviously a little tired, "This money is the surplus after removing your three years of annual taxes, okay, the next one!"

The old man holding the money looked at the figure of the tax collector leaving, but he didn't say a word of thanks, perhaps he had forgotten to thank him excitedly.

On this day, a total of 250,000 civilians in the Cold Moon Imperial Capital received nearly 300,000 gold coins, which is undoubtedly a send-off for them who are struggling on the line of life and death, and because of this, the strange nobleman of the Northern Governor began to be recognized and concerned by the commoners, and people seem to see hope from him again!

Is he an idiot or ......
