Chapter 539 Question
"Don't dare, this time it was a subordinate who made a mistake and caused such a disaster, I really can't deserve your praise. The steward lowered his head a little ashamedly, "If it weren't for Mr. Quinn, you did everything well and bribed the city guards in advance, my little tricks would not have worked." ”
"Actually, this is a good thing, so that these pawns who defend the city will no longer have trouble with the caravan, and can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles and conflicts. Know that our time is precious, so we must all go out of the city today. Quinn's face was a little solemn.
"Time is too short, and some supplies are too late. ", said the steward with some embarrassment.
"Try to hurry, those supplies are very important. "I got the news from inside the police department, the police department has received an order from Emperor Grievous and is ready to start martial law, presumably it is only a matter of one or two days before the city gates are closed, and we must do it as soon as possible." ”
"Yes!", the steward nodded, and jumped out of the carriage again, apparently still on his mission.
"Hey. Quinn sighed, "I've done everything I could, Al, and I'll have to count on you for the rest of the day." He said to the wall of the carriage, alone in the carriage.
After leaving the city, the carriage did not drive onto the official road, but turned a corner after a few miles, thinking about the outskirts of Shenghui City.
After a while, the carriage arrived at a "big construction site", next to a huge circular building that was beginning to take shape. There were hundreds of people shouting and sweating at work, and it seemed that it had been going on for quite some time. Just look at what they're digging into the ground and digging out of it. Then they moved into the carriage that had been prepared for a long time, but it was not the work of construction.
And the old butler has been waiting there for a long time, and is constantly directing. He saw Quinn get out of the carriage and hurriedly saluted, "Young Master Quinn, you are here." ”
Quinn waved his hand, "Oh, my old butler." When this fire burns your eyebrows, you don't care about this kind of false courtesy. ”
The old butler smiled, "Young Master Quinn, don't worry, the backbone of the business house are all old people I brought from the Western Realm, and they can't go wrong." ”
Quinn nodded, staring at the hot scene in front of him. "What about the rest of the firm, many of them are natives of Shenghui City, and they are willing to leave their homeland and go to the west with us?"
"I've already made arrangements for this, and on the surface I'm just claiming that the Comptoir is going to withdraw from Radiant City and return to the West. Originally, since Young Master El was assigned to the north, the situation of this trading house has been much worse than before. This is something that everyone knows well, and although it has been struggling to support it, it is no longer the grand occasion it used to be. Therefore, as soon as I put forward this reason, no one doubted it. ”
"It's just that Mr. Sasha has been absent for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be some difficulties in doing their ideological work. ”
Quinn nodded, "Is there any news from President Sasha?"
"I just sent a message two days ago, and I have already connected with several rebel forces. However, now that the Northern Army is gaining momentum, it is too difficult to expect the leaders of these forces to abandon the Northern Frontier and support us in the West. ”
Mr. Sasha continued to complain in his letters, saying that it was the most difficult business he had ever done. ”
Quinn laughed, "Otherwise, how could that guy El give such a difficult task to President Sasha." When it comes to doing business, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Western Territory can control it. ”
"But this business is too big for Mr. Sasha. ”
After finishing speaking, somehow, there was a little cold scene between the two. In the end, it was the old butler who broke the silence, "Young Master Quinn, I have been having some doubts in my heart for the past few days, lingering for a long time, not vomiting unpleasantly......"
"You're suspicious of me because you've seen what I've done these days, aren't you?, sir, you're afraid I'm going to be bad for the North, or I'm taking advantage of that El guy. Quinn, as if he saw what the old butler was thinking, said directly.
The old butler nodded, "Please forgive me for being rude." What Young Master Quinn has done in the past few days has not been hidden from me, and it really amazes me, which is very different from what Young Master Quinn showed before. ”
"Whether it is the use of various means of coercion and inducement, trading and cooperating with various officials in the kingdom. Or digging the corners of the palace, or even secretly smuggling all kinds of military supplies from military warehouses. Or secretly control the black market in Shenghui City, secretly buying and storing a large number of magic materials and forbidden materials. You still secretly control a number of cart and horse shops and mercenary groups, and all kinds of signs indicate that you are also inextricably linked to the banking industry in Shenghui City. ”
"None of this can be done overnight, but a big net that you have worked hard for many years in this Shenghui City. Your forbearance, your methods, and your wisdom are all admirable. ”
"But what are you doing all this for?"
"What are you approaching Young Master El and the Western Realm?"
"These are my two questions, please answer my questions. ”
The old butler's tone was a little flat and a little cold. Quinn's face did not change much as the old butler's words.
"Amazing, although I didn't deliberately hide it, I didn't expect you to find out so many details from a little bit of detail. Should he really be the great butler of the Edward family?", Quinn clapped his hands and exclaimed.
"I've heard that in a family as long and rich as the Edwards, the butler is often the most difficult role. Today I finally know, and this is honest and does not deceive me. ”
"You've won a prize. The old butler's tone still didn't fluctuate.
"Let me make a hypothesis if I don't answer the question you just asked, or if my answer doesn't satisfy you. What will you do with me? Quinn asked suddenly, compared to the old butler's indifferent face, he was still smiling, looking like a curious baby.
"Are you here to kill me, cut out a scourge for the Edwards?"
"Master Quinn, this joke is not funny, please stop making such jokes. ”
"Murder is only the last resort, the last resort. The Edwards family is not a family of murderers, and they will not go on a killing spree just because of a few words. But remember, what the title of the Edwards is. ”
"The Iron Thorn Family. ”
"Spikes forged of steel will inflict indelible pain and remorse on all enemies. Please keep this in mind and never forget it. ”
