Cold Moon Empire, Marshal's Mansion.

Marshal Ron was also eating breakfast.

"Sir, eat as much as you want. ”

"Eat, eat a fart!"

With an annoyed look on his face, Ron overturned the table, and the plates and plates were scattered all over the floor. Seeing this scene, the servants hurriedly knelt on the ground to clean up, but unexpectedly, this action angered Ron even more.

"Get out, get out of here!"

Damn! Damn! Damn! At this time, Marshal Ron can be described as angry, "The prime minister's old bastard's promissory note didn't get it, not to mention, even his own coffin was lost, damn it!" It is usually thought that women like to throw bottles and cans when they are petty or angry, but I didn't expect our marshal to be a man of this way.

In a moment's effort, more than 20 expensive vases were smashed to pieces!

As he got older, he sat down after a while, gasping slightly.

He invested four million in that casino, and then another six million, and now all this money is now all gone, and what is even more infuriating is that it is impossible to verify who moved the money.

"Father-in-law. ”

"Huayun, sit down. Marshal Ron's tone softened slightly.

After a short silence!

"How's the investigation going?" he asked, trying to suppress his anger and anxiety, word for word.

"I'm sorry, but there are no leads at this time. ”

Unlike the marshal's eagerness, Hua Long was more annoyed and depressed at the moment, after returning to the city after finding nothing outside the city last night, he thought that he could easily find the gold coin, but the development of things was beyond his expectations.

He dispatched more than 3,000 soldiers of the guard under Nandu, and after more than six hours of continuous investigation, the results were still ......

Are you too confident?

"yes, I didn't find it. ”

Hua Yun noticed that when Marshal Ron said this, the flesh on his face twitched obviously.

He must be angry to death, but he deserves it, he brought it on himself, who made him listen to that idiot?

"Father-in-law, the loss of gold coins and promissory notes is just a trivial matter, and the overall situation should be the focus at the moment, and today the Marshal of the Fire Empire, Rufhis, is about to enter the city. ”

It is no exaggeration to say that Rufis is Huayun's idol, and it is the target of emulation, and it can even be described as the light of life, which shows the degree of importance that Huayun attaches to it.

I'm really looking forward to it, if I can say a few words or talk about the military, what it will be like.

"You're right, the most important thing at the moment is indeed the marshal from the Fire Empire, oh yes, is there any news from the Empress of the Heavenly Spirit Principality now?"

In the eyes of Marshal Ron, the Empress of the Duchy is the most important person in this military purchase, and her heart determines the real direction of this batch of supplies, in other words, her decision will lead the world to two different endings, either swallowed by the flames of war or degraded in silence.

Hua Yun also had a headache about this matter, "We only know that she entered the Goethe Plains in civilian clothes, but the specific location is really ......"

There are more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of people who enter and leave the Cold Moon Imperial Capital every day, isn't it even more difficult to find one among these people than to ascend to the sky?

"Forget it, let's prepare a gift first. Marshal Ron breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps because he had two major consortia behind him.

“......”

......

To the south of the city, the mansion of the Duke of Otto's family.

This is a mansion, a real mansion! It is so luxurious that it can no longer be described in words, to put it bluntly, entering here is like entering a corner of the palace, the most luxurious corner.

A crisp slap rang out in the boudoir, a gift from Lansi early in the morning, and the giver was none other than her father, who was over fifty years old.

Anger is the best way to describe Duke Otto.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Lan Si covered her flushed cheeks, looking frightened and confused, in her impression, her father had never scolded her, or even beaten herself.

"Look at you, look at the good things you've done!"

His roar shook the whole room, and the copy of the white stripe to the Northern Governor Hualong in his hand was rattling "Halahaha".

Seeing that her father was angry with herself for the white stripe, Lan Si suddenly cried aggrievedly, "Just for this, you beat me? Didn't I tell you last night? Why did you ......?"

"I ask you, what did you tell me last night?"

"I took a promissory note of 50 million from Beidu Hualong, and then called him an IOU of 30 million. Isn't there anything wrong with that?"

"What about the promissory note?"

"I'm not saying it, the cashier's ticket is in the casino, there are so many people there to protect it, it's very safe. Lanth retorted loudly to her father, who had no idea about the ransacking of the casino.

Seeing that his daughter was so sluggish, Duke Otto sat down on the ground and cried loudly.

"Father?" Ranth felt uneasy by her father's actions, "What the hell is going on?"

"What's the matter? You...... Let's see what is going on!" Duke Otto tossed a newspaper in front of his daughter.

Ransack?

On the yellow-and-white newspaper, the black ink characters are particularly dazzling!

"The casino was ransacked?" Lan Si's feet went limp, and she collapsed beside her father, "What...... How could it be...... He said it clearly...... Say it's safe...... Very safe ......"

Her mind was suddenly blank, as white as a piece of paper, under such a heavy blow, this strong and conceited girl could no longer breathe, and she would face a huge debt - 30 million gold coins!

What does this money mean? It means the complete collapse of the entire consortium, it means that the end of the family is coming, it means that there is no tomorrow......

"Father...... Father ......" Lan Si shook his father's shoulder frantically, "The promissory note is placed in the innermost safe of the vault, so the sturdy safe cannot be destroyed, I think the promissory note must still be in it, I'll go ...... it now"

"Enough! It's time for you to accept reality!"

"Father, listen to me, I ......"

Lansi was slapped again, and in her sight, her father was already in tears.

"I have asked the guards who were on duty yesterday and they said that the vault was completely emptied, there was nothing left, nothing was ......"

Long silence!

"Thirty million, where did we get the thirty million to return to the Northern Governor, where did we get so much cash. Duke Otto fell into a deep remorse, he regretted that he should not have listened to Marshal Ron, and if he had chosen the camp of Prime Minister Ron, he would not have ended up like this today.

"I'll go and discuss with the Northern Governor to see if I can get a few days of grace, and then ......."

"Will he be lenient? Will he?"

“......”

"At this time, you should go to the marshal, he is the one who caused today's situation, if you have to pay back, then you can't let our family pay back!"

"Father, don't!" Lance cried and hugged his leg.

Otto was in fact a little delirious, and if he went to the marshal at this time, wouldn't that be the same as looking for death? Would Ron be willing to pay this money? If the marshal was angered at that time, the result might be even more miserable.

"How can this be good!"

Then!

"Master, the Northern Governor is here. ”

The butler's words frightened Duke Otto to jumped up, "Quick, stop him, just say I'm not here, oh yes, you tell him again, Lansi is also out." Seeing the butler's embarrassed face, Duke Otto immediately scolded, "No matter what, you have to drive him away for me!"

"But ......"

"But what?" cried Otto.

The butler lowered his head, then looked behind him, "He ......"

"Him?"

"You don't seem to welcome me, duke—my lord?"

......

In the boudoir of the blue silk.

The sunlight shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows did not make people feel the slightest warmth, but the chill in the room became more and more obvious.

It was an embarrassing and embarrassing moment for Duke Otto!

"How could it be? When Lord Beidu came to visit, I naturally welcomed it very much, and welcomed it very ......."

In terms of status, Duke Otto is one of the five major dukes of the empire, the family is huge, but there are few officials, in terms of wealth, Duke Otto's consortium ranks second in the Cold Moon Empire, and the large manors are all over the provinces of the empire. However, in front of the Northern Governor, Duke Otto was more of a businessman than a magnate.

I want you to look good today. This was Hua Long's only thought after entering the room.

After smiling, Hua Long did not take the lead in speaking.

"Lord Beidu seems to be very rude, don't you know that it is illegal to enter the girl's boudoir without permission?" Lan Si looked at Hua Long with a hateful gaze, she wanted to move back a little bit in momentum, but she still didn't understand at the moment, Hua Long was not at all what she imagined, an idiot who only liked to grow flowers.

"Illegal?" Hua Long laughed disdainfully, "Maybe you're right, but I want to correct you a little, it's not a girl, it's a noble lady!"

Lan Siqi's teeth itched, "Am I not a noble lady?"

"You may have been before I entered this room, but now you are not. ”

Lan Si didn't refute anymore, because she found that Hua Long in front of her had changed, becoming serious and cold, and there was a powerful, breathless momentum and oppression between words and movements, this feeling was indescribable, but it was so obvious and intense.

Is this the real Hua Long? Lan Si and Duke Otto finally understood that the black-haired man in front of them was the real Northern Governor Hua Long! The handsome face, the distinctive facial features, and the look full of confidence and domineering were all hidden under his silly appearance.

"Lord Beidu, my daughter is not very good at talking, please don't be surprised. Duke Otto seemed rather polite, but in his heart he was thinking about telling Marshal Ron about it, perhaps......

“......”

"I didn't mean anything else to come today, I just wanted to get back the 30 million gold coins, Duke Otto, I don't think there's a problem, right?"

This guy! Lan Silk trembled with anger, but he couldn't say anything.

"Of course there is no problem, but ......" Duke Otto hesitated and excused himself: "Thirty million gold coins is a large amount, and it will be ...... for a while Why don't you give me a few days of grace first, I'll ......" Seeing Hua Long's gaze as sharp as a sword, Duke Otto suddenly became afraid, "In this way, if you want to use it urgently, I will take 10 million gold coins first, see if it is ......"

10,000,000,000,000 gold coins?Father, do you want to take out all your family's savings?Lan Si regretted her actions last night more and more.

"Lord Duke, you must have lost your promissory note. Hua Long's gaze fell on the newspaper on the ground, as if hinting at something.

He already knows? Damn, he can't hide it. But I can't get that much money right now, no, I'll have to find a way to delay.

Duke Otto smiled falsely and took the opportunity to glance at the butler, how could the clever butler not know what the lord meant, but he stood still, ignoring Duke Otto's orders.

"How could it be, it's just a little bit of a problem, it's not a big problem. ”

"Then I want to exchange it now, it should be fine, right?"

In the face of Hua Long's approach, both Duke Otto and Lansi felt a sense of fear that they had no way out.

Look at each other!

"You, don't deceive people too much!" Duke Otto roared like a lion, "Yes, the promissory note is lost, so what? Do you think I can't afford to lose your thirty million gold coins? Even if I don't, what can you do with me? I'm a duke, a duke!"

Imperial law stipulates that the Duke is exempt from all other crimes except for rebellion.

Hua Long suddenly smiled, and that smile was silent and cold. This smile made the fiery Duke Otto tremble, and even made Lansi feel the threat of death.

"Duke Otto, I think you're mistaken, I'm not interested in you, and the same is true for Miss Lans. Hua Long took a few steps forward to the floor-to-ceiling window, and said while fiddling with the ivory vase: "I remember that there is such a clause in the Imperial Debt Law, I don't know if you remember, it seems to be about how to deal with the previous debt relationship of the nobles, one of which is that no matter how high or low the status, if you cannot repay the debt, you will mortgage all your property. ”

How could Duke Otto not know about this law, he used this law to obtain a lot of hard-won wealth when he was young.

At this time, Duke Otto's face was pale, and the sweat of the bean was flowing down his cheeks, and it was over, if he couldn't get the money, all his property would be mortgaged.

"I'm not a person who likes to be forced, I'll go to the living room for a cup of tea now, and by the way, I'll be back in half an hour to hear your reply. Hua Long paused in front of the door, "I forgot to tell you, don't do any stupid moves, otherwise you ......"

Warning, this is a warning of *naked death!

Duke Otto was speechless in anger, and Lansi was dead at this time, and she could even imagine that if they couldn't come up with the money today, the ending would be ......

......
