Chapter 125 Assassination is an art, and any act is highly appreciated when it rises to the level of art
At the moment when Angelo was assassinated, he was not the only one who was assassinated, in Sean's words, the betrayers deserved to die!
The captain of the garrison had been busy all morning, and as the tide of refugees receded, he finally had some leisure time to enjoy his leisure. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info called two of his men who could see it, and the three of them sat together in the tavern drinking inferior drinks, admiring the dancers' delicate bodies, whistling from time to time, and throwing copper coins onto the stage. The atmosphere in the tavern was very lively, the dancer had more and more copper coins under her feet, and her body movements became more and more amazing, and she took off one dress after another as the people laughed loudly, and in a short time there was only a few briefs that barely covered her hips.
The drunkards around the stage frolicked even more unbridledly, telling lewd jokes, full of yellow teeth, spitting the stench of bad breath and alcohol, acting recklessly and ugly. But they didn't care, but even more profligate, one by one copper coins smashed into the dancer's body as if it were not money, every time a copper coin hit the dancer's chest muscles, the drunkards in the audience would applaud. The person who threw the coin will also be proud, as if he has done something very remarkable.
Of course, not everyone has this patience, perhaps they are already familiar with the dancer's routine, the more the last point, the slower they will take off, and the more money they can get. Some people scolded and scolded, but because of the captain of the garrison again, it was not easy to make too much trouble.
The atmosphere gradually reached its climax, and the dancer untied one of the ropes from her briefs and covered it with her other hand, and her buttocks were suddenly exposed to the air. The drunkards screamed with irritation, slapped their stools against the table, and even more red-faced foul language erupted from their mouths frantically.
The captain of the garrison also stood up, unbuttoned the wind and discipline button, blushed in the face, took out a handful of twenty or thirty copper coins and threw them out. The dancer had already seen the big man, and she slowly leaned over to him while throwing a wink. The distance between the two was getting closer and closer, and the captain of the guard could even smell the excitement of the dancer. He leaned forward on the table, smiling lewdly, and stretched out an arm to touch the dancer's buttocks.
The dancer's movements have not stopped, and whenever the captain of the garrison reaches out and grabs it, she can always skillfully dodge. However, she knows very well that eating this bowl of rice will inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people, and being able to make good friends with the captain of the garrison is very important to her life safety. She deliberately took a step slower in an encounter, and the captain of the garrison slapped her buttocks, and the waves of flesh rolled over, and his hands were slightly numb from the shock. He laughed, pulled out a silver coin and tossed it out amid the astonished gazes of the people.
The dancer's eyes flashed with gold, and she stretched out her hands to pick it up, and her briefs slowly slipped down. The entire tavern was about to be shaken off the roof by the noise, and the boss smiled as he watched the constantly consumed drinks and the copper coins on the stage. He has to take 30% of the income from each performance, which is the rule of this industry, he provides a platform, and it is natural that he should share the profits.
The captain of the garrison was like a hero at this time, holding his hands high and receiving the cheers of the people. He was extremely excited at this time, and the alcohol of the inferior liquor had begun to numb his nerves, making his reflexes sluggish. And the accelerated flow rate of blood when he was excited also made his body slightly numb and uncontrollable.
At this moment, a drunkard, already drunk, fell to the captain of the garrison as he left. The captain of the garrison obviously saw it and thought about dodging, but he was a step too slow. The drunkard bumped into him, and at this moment the drunkard seemed to know that he was in trouble, and went to seven points drunk, so he quickly apologized, helped the captain of the guard to sit on the stool at the bar, and said two spares, and stumbled away.
Everyone's eyes returned to the dancer covered in red fruits, and no one noticed that an indescribable look of pain appeared on the guard's distorted face, and a red spot appeared in the clothes between his waist and abdomen, which was getting bigger and darker. He popped and fell to the bar. The two men looked back at the captain, and they both shrugged their shoulders. Since he is drunk, let him get drunk for a while, this is not the first time such a thing has happened. (It is difficult to open the mouth to speak after the diaphragm is pierced)
After a few moments, the dancers held their clothes and bowed, and withdrew in the noise that gradually subsided. After the helper came up to the stage with a huge dustpan and broom to sweep away the coins, another well-dressed dancer came out of the backstage to open the curtain of the door, and the drunkards once again offered their cheers and shouts.
Outside the street, a wealthy businessman was inspecting a house accompanied by his companions, and many people had to sell their children and daughters for a little food to eat. The price of the house in Veneer fell to the freezing point in an instant, and these filthy merchants pushed the price to the extreme, enclosing the land on a large scale, waiting for the price to rise before selling those civilians for a huge profit. The businessman had a high reputation in the Veneer business community, and for merchants, his worth was the measure that defined a businessman's success.
Obviously, the merchant was a very successful merchant, and he smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the house that he had bought for only fifteen silver coins, which had been worth more than seventy silver coins last year. Although some of the facilities were eroded by rainwater due to heavy rainfall, there was no damage to the entire facility, and it can be renovated with a simple repair.
"Throw away all the furniture here and replace it with furniture that is more than two silver coins. He ordered some old furniture, and he wanted to redecorate the house and sell it at a higher price at the right time, along with the furniture. "And here, the walls need to be renovated, and a stone of a hundred coppers will be used, and a cheap old stonemason will be found. ā
The man wrote down all the requirements of the merchant in a notebook, and it was his job, for which he received a salary of three silver coins a month.
"And here, what kind of is this? Throw it all away...... Selling it to someone else, I think the price of 200 copper is appropriate. The merchant was dismissive of the decoration of the house, he didn't look at the money, it was not enough for him to eat a meal, but the nature of the merchant made him decide to sell it cheaply to dispose of the garbage in his eyes.
As he spoke, a man who looked a little depressed stood at the door with rough and calloused hands, dressed in white-washed gray cloth clothes, although the things he was wearing were very shabby, they were very clean, which made him feel much more refreshing.
"Why are you here?", the merchant frowned, this is the owner of this house, he is a little impatient, "what else?"
The man smiled awkwardly, took out a money bag from his pocket, opened the mouth of the bag, and revealed the silver light inside, "I got the money, I won't sell it." ā
"Not for sale?", the merchant's voice sharpened, his face full of anger, "You said that if you don't sell, you won't sell?" ā
The man stiffened his neck and shouted, "We said okay, if I can scrape together thirty silver coins in a month, I will have the right to repossess the house!"
There was such a clause in the agreement, but the merchant never thought that these mud dogs would be able to raise enough money to redeem their property in a short period of time. Businesses withered after the rains, many factories suspended production, and there were not many affluent jobs in the city. The reason why such an agreement was signed is actually a normal business method, and it is a very common capital operation to seek a safer and faster return of funds.
The time is short, the income is high, and it does not need to occupy a large amount of capital, which is also a good way of capital operation for businessmen.
But it is clear that the businessman does not intend to hand over the house at this moment, and in this case, even if he has money, he may not be able to have a good investment channel. The whole city was dead, and the money was only useful when the after-effects of the rain had passed. In that case, why not wait for house prices to pick up and make a fortune before considering other investments?
It's just that the agreement is bound to be protected by the Imperial Code, and even if he really fights a lawsuit, he can't win it, he said in a negotiated tone: "In this way, I'll give you ten more silver coins, and you don't have to think about going back to the house or something, with the money, you can go to the place near the city wall to buy another house, and you can save some money." ā
The man shook his head, "I don't, I want my own house." ā
Because of the disagreement, the two began to quarrel, and there were more and more onlookers, many of whom were extremely disgusted with the businessmen's behavior of taking advantage of the fire to rob, in order to avoid the impact, the businessman frowned and looked at the man, "It's too noisy here, let's go into the house and say." The moment he entered the house, the merchant said to his fellows: "Watch the door, don't let those people steal my things." ā
There are also some rags piled up in the yard, although these things are broken, they can be sold for dozens of copper coins, and no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. The guy has long been accustomed to the stinginess of the boss, nodded again and again, patted his chest and said that he would definitely take care of these things, and would never let anyone steal one.
After about ten minutes, the man came out of the room with an extremely ugly face, cursed and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and quickly squeezed through the crowd and disappeared into the street. The man waited for a long time but did not see the merchant come out, and pushed the door open in confusion.
At the same time, the city guard walked towards the lord's mansion with a long sword with an ugly face. Unlike Ortlenburg, which was founded to serve the war effort, the streets were not only spacious, but also equipped with drainage systems and other facilities, all built on a capital-level scale. Although the rain has passed, there is still a lot of sewage on the streets of Veneer, and the stone slabs that have been soaked for a long time have become slippery, and some of the stone slabs will sink when stepped on, which is not suitable for horseback riding.
The reason why the city guard officer had an ugly face was because three of his knights were detained. It is said that because of the gambling money, he hit several other gamblers at the same table. The gamblers, who were outsiders and did not know the depth of the area, actually took three knights and brought them back to the inn, asking him to ransom them alone.
This is simply a slap in the face of the city defense army, he is not only annoyed by that group of outsiders, but also very annoyed with a few of his uncompetitive subordinates, thinking that after going back, he must train those people fiercely, so that they can remember for a long time.
Pushing open the door of the hotel suite, he saw three of his men chained to chairs and hooded, like prisoners. He looked at the other group of outsiders who were carrying swords and axes, and at first glance they were not good things, and snorted heavily. He took out a money bag and threw it on the table, and one of them picked it up, untied the rope and looked into the money bag, and stuffed the money bag into his arms without smiling. He nodded to the people around him, "Yes, sir, you are resolute in your work, we admire you." We'll leave now, so you don't get upset, haha!"
A dozen or so people swaggered away, and the officer walked up to the three people, scolded a few words, kicked twice, and uncovered the hood of the first person, and his face instantly became extremely frightened......
Scene after scene is constantly staged in the city of Veneer, which is about to change.
