It was getting dark, and the streets of Amber were starting to become sparsely populated, and it was too close to the slums to be safe to go out at night, and the police rarely patrolled the street at night.

The inns and pubs on the street were brightly lit, and the laughter of men and the screams of women could be heard from time to time.

The Goat Hotel was also brightly lit, but the gate was closed, and there were four big men holding arms at the door, and any passer-by could feel their sharp gaze, so they walked around to the other side of the street.

"Lord Balor, there are many places to stay in the town, and he usually chooses a random place to sleep, and recently he has taken in a pair of sisters, so he has been happy in his private house at 14 Walnut Street for the past two days. ”

However, he always had more than twenty thugs with him, with some hard stubble and two crossbows. ”

A young man with a pale face, on an oak table, spoke while drawing.

"You're Baror's subordinate, how do we know you're not lying to us?" said an old mercenary, who survived the battle by relying on the shoulders and backs of his comrades, who always hated and despised betrayers.

"Don't doubt him, the monkey didn't lie. Nelson said.

Nelson was in a terrible mood, and he already knew a lot from a deep conversation with the sheriff of Blackcastle.

The backstage boss of Barol was a steward of Baron Verpin's family, and this time the bureau against the goat inn was not due to old John's negligence, but the steward of the Verpan family himself.

Also, the last time the freedmen were recruited, it was also the steward of the Velpan family that made people spread the word that Lord Victor had no knights under him, and it was not worth taking refuge in. If it weren't for Lord Victor pulling out the banner of the Bruce Knights, they wouldn't have been able to recruit enough people.

As for why the steward of the Villepan family did this, Nelson was also very clear.

Victor had mentioned to Nelson that he had lost the support of his family because he had offended the Princes, and Baron Verpin was a member of the Princes' Party.

If you don't cut off the claws of the Verpan family in Blackcastle, the purple cane wine in the territory will not be sold safely. This time, if they can kill people and plant false accusations, then next time someone will definitely be poisoned to death because of drinking purple cane wine.

Barol must die!

"Monkey, are you sure you don't need to kill all of Balor's men?" Nelson asked the youth.

"My lord, whoever does our business, whoever has a backstage is the boss. As long as Lord Balor is dead, his men will listen to the new chief, after all, we also have to eat. The monkey said with some excitement, knowing that soon he would be able to take the seat of Lord Balor.

Sure enough, Nelson was silent for a while, and then asked, "We put you in this position, how do you prove your loyalty?"

"My lord, to be honest, we people have never been loyal to such a thing. We are like rags, we change a piece when we get dirty. So, you don't need our loyalty. ”

The monkey's confession silenced the mercenaries for a while.

"My lord, if you support me, I will listen to you, if you don't support me, I will die in the stinky ditch. The monkey added apprehensively.

"How can you get Baror's men to listen to you?" asked Old John.

"My lord, the position of the boss does not depend on the fist, only a word from the sheriff, and the sheriff can speak for me, it all depends on your face. The monkey bowed his head and said in a respectful voice.

"Monkey, after you take the position, I want you to do three things, first, keep an eye on the sale of purple cane wine, and don't let people misbehave. Second, keep an eye out for all the rumors against our Victor Collar, and report to the Goat Hotel as soon as there is news. Third, help us recruit women, at least 40 in two months. Can it be done?" Nelson offered his own terms to the monkey.

"My lord, the first one, the second one, it's all right. But the third one, can I ask, do you want to hire a hostess?" asked the monkey cautiously.

"No, there are too many singles in our territory, and the women we recruit are for people to be wives. ”

Hearing this answer, the monkey's eyes lit up, and he asked again, "Is it okay to take children?"

"Okay!

Seeing the details of the monkey's question, Nelson showed a look of appreciation, which showed that the monkey was not perfunctory to him.

"That's fine, but the quantity is not guaranteed every time, that's true. The monkey said cautiously.

"Do your best, and I won't embarrass you. Something else, all said. ”

"It's this example money, the security station has to take 50%, and the brothers will share the remaining 50%, and the adults can't share it. Also, if there is something difficult for an adult, you have to give a small shot, and you have to give some reward. The monkey gritted his teeth and said, his heart was about to rise to his throat at this moment, but this was the rule, and he had to make it clear.

"What? You are acting in our name, and you want to take the money of the people, and you dare to ask for a reward?" said an old mercenary.

"Adults, the little ones rely on the security to reward this meal, they can't take fifty percent, the remaining fifty percent is really only enough for the brothers to make a living, we still have to deal with the Golden Finger gang, and we have to fight with other gangsters, we don't dare to trouble the adults when we fight to the death, and the things that the adults confess must also do their best." It's the rule now, so 。。。。。。。 The monkey hurriedly explained.

"Alright, I see, let's do it. You can pay 20 silver soles a month from here, and recruit a woman to give you 10 silver soles, is that enough?" Nelson nodded in agreement.

The monkey was introduced by the sheriff, and the sheriff has made it very clear to Nelson that the sheriff supports the monkey in Nelson's face, and the monkey is an agent of the family in Blackcastle Town, such an agent usually supports himself, in fact, it is an employment relationship, and they naturally have to give a reward to do things, and loyalty is really not needed.

"Enough, enough, thank you for the promotion!" the monkey nodded and smiled, the matter was settled.

Nelson straightened up, looked around at his men, and said coldly, "All equipped, let's go kill Balor!"

The guards immediately took action, wearing armor, holding shields, checking swords, and carrying crossbows, and a murderous aura suddenly spread.

"Your Excellency, what are you。。。。。 Listen to me, my lord, according to the rules of the police station, you can't use military equipment in the battle on the underworld, your lordship。。。。。。 Seeing these big men one by one as if they were going to war, the monkey was shocked and hurriedly persuaded.

Nelson didn't pay attention to the monkey, and there was a kind of anger in his cold eyes, Sheriff Shaks had bitten off fifty percent of the purple cane wine from him! Also, there won't be any police officers intervening tonight!

"Let's run over!"

————————————

14 Walnut Street, a private home of Lord Barroll, a fine two-storey wooden house with front and back yards, like this is worth at least 80 gold soles in Blackcastle.

This is the outer part of the vassal quarter, and it is also the place where Lord Balor entertains distinguished guests, so even at night, there are many fierce men walking back and forth around the private house, their hands are in their trouser pockets, and there are daggers hidden in them, these people are Barol's henchmen.

There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, which attracted the attention of these big men, and they vigilantly took out the long swords and short knives that had been hidden from the corner of the wall, and looked at each other, until there were some elite appearances.

A big man took a torch from the wall and waved it up and down three times, which was the contact signal of their gang, and he wanted to make sure that it was not his own people.

Seeing that there was no response from the group of figures on the opposite side, the big man stubbornly shouted: "This is Lord Balor's territory, and the opposite side is the road?"

"Poof" "Poof" The fierce crossbow bolt pierced through his body, causing him to flipped to the ground and twitched. Here's the response he got!

There were no helpless shouts, no panicked escapes, and even chaos, and the remaining big men threw down their weapons one after another, followed the corner, and slipped away.

In fact, these outlaws do not lack the courage to fight desperately, and this does not include fighting against the army!

What are you kidding, crossbows, round shields, chain mail, one-handed spears, these are standard weapons! Needless to say, these people on the other side are soldiers!

Lord Barol is finished!

"Is this the stubble in the monkey's mouth?" an old mercenary couldn't help but be stunned as he watched his opponents disappear into the darkness one by one like mice.

"Hard stubble in hyenas. Nelson touched his chin, he felt that the withdrawal of these people was neat, and it was not without merit, after all, they had not dealt with hyenas. There is a limit to the range of mercenaries that can move around the town.

"Let's go! Don't let Balor run!"

A group of heavily armed guards pounced on the private house.

After a while, a half-woman's scream came from the second floor, and soon calmed down again.

The monkey and a dozen guards retreated from the private house.

"That's right! it's Balor!" said the monkey excitedly.

Nelson looked at Old John on the side.

"The half-hundred-year-old man, who smells of alcohol and sleeps like a dead pig, is already over, and the two girls and three bodyguards around him have all said that it is Balor, and it will not be wrong. Old John whispered.

Nelson stood in the yard and touched the back of his head, and things went smoothly beyond his expectations, no resistance, no screams, as if it had happened countless times!

This is how hyenas survive?

——————————————

"It's done?" asked Shaks, leaning back in his chair, to the monkey.

"My lord, it's all done, the steward of the Velpan family was killed by the guards of Baron Victor's family!, but the two women were also taken away by them!, is it really okay?" said the monkey respectfully.

"It doesn't matter, the two women have always thought that the Barol who is serving, this is the beautiful place of the Balor Dry, he has never touched the sisters, and he pretended to be Barol's subordinates, and scared them that Lord Balor does not like women to ask questions. ”

Shax sighed and asked, "Do you know the end of Baror?"

"My lord, I don't know!"

"Barol is so clever that he secretly prepared an identity, and with this identity, he hid in the freedfolk shanty town to the east, tried to get out on his own, and he died. How did you say he died?"

"My lord, he died smartly!"

The monkey's answer surprised Shaks a little, and he smiled, "It seems that you are also a smart person!"

"My lord, I'm not smart, but I'm a sensible person. The monkey replied with a bowed head, looking deferential.

"Oh!?What do you understand?"

"Whether you live or die is up to the adults!" the monkey became more and more submissive at this time.

"You are really an understanding person, so you can pay less than 10% of the money, if you have any difficult opponents, I can ask someone to help you cook, but you have to remember to serve Victor with all your heart. Do you understand?" said Shaks coldly as he looked at the man who understood.

"Yes, my lord, I will do it!" the monkey wiped the cold sweat from his head and hurriedly made a statement.

"By the way, my lord, do you want to kill Baror's bodyguards?"

"No! I didn't intend to kill it this time, so Balor was smart to death!" said Shaks lightly.

It was to let the two families know what was going on! Moreover, the York family and the Verpan family were originally on opposite sides, even if Baron Verpan knew that it was the York family who was doing the trick, he could only spill his anger on Victor's head. As for Baron Victor, can there be any other way?

Watching the monkey leave his office backwards, Shax smiled softly.

Although Shaks is only a trainee knight, he has a firm grip on every move in Blackcastle, which is the middle class of the big family, and what about Victor's?
