Chapter 108: The Greedy Marquis

August 24, 1379 in the Medland Glory calendar.

It was a night of fun.

Joe organized the Allies and launched a raid on the Wells, Turing, and Cecil estates in Loeff Heights.

The large-scale fighting lasted just over two hours before it was completely quelled, but it was the riots in the town of Löfgang that made Joe and his allies work hard all night before they could barely suppress it.

When it was dark, Joe stood on the highest hill outside the town of Löfgang, and looked gloomily at the hundreds of embers in the town that had not been extinguished, and that black smoke was constantly rising.

Underneath the hill, more than 4,000 guards and armed sailors from various families formed a circle, surrounding nearly 1,000 men and women in the center.

The Wittu family and their fifteen allied families, the guards and armed sailors in Loew Height, numbered more than 20,000 in total.

There was a riot overnight last night, and now most of the men are scattered to maintain order in the town of Loeffgang. Now these men and women under Xiaoshan's bag are the unlucky ones who took advantage of the chaos to rob last night and were captured alive on the spot.

In front of these men and women were dozens of scarred men.

Among them are the heads of the three major families in Loeffgang, such as the blue-ringed sea snake Bill and the flying fish Chuk, who have sword wounds on their bodies and wounds from muskets.

After a night of commotion, none of the heads of the three major families in Loew Gang slipped away, either in the stacked warehouse or in their own small buildings.

After a few stupid glances at the fire in the town of Loefgang, Joe walked down the hill with his hands behind his back and walked in front of Bill, Chuck and the others who were paralyzed on the ground.

"Can anyone tell me why you don't run away?" Joe kicked Bill and was shot twice, the wound was only cursory, and the thigh that was still bleeding at the moment: "You should have received the news from Tulun Harbor, your own family has been wiped out, do you think you can ...... Overturning established facts? ”

"Young Master Qiao...... We don't want to go against the Rittal family. Bill smiled humbly: "We just can't bear the goods in the warehouse...... Even if we run away, we must have enough gold marks to keep around, right? ”

"Our family has been destroyed, and we dare not go against the Riteux family. We just want to dispose of the goods we have and get a sum of money, and then we leave the port of Tulum, or even leave the empire, and we go to other countries. ”

"The goods in our warehouse are worth tens of millions of gold marks, if we can sell them smoothly...... Even a small part of us can continue to live like the top rich in other countries. Bill whispered, "Our family is gone, we just want to make the rest of our lives more comfortable, is this wrong?" ”

Hearing Bill's whispered words, Joe laughed.

He looked back at Lan Kikyo: "Kikyo, this doesn't match what you said yesterday." This guy still wants to deceive me? ”

Lan bellflower spread his hands and didn't say a word. Yesterday he stood in the shadows behind Bill, Chuck and the others, listening to the secret planning of a group of people who were ready to have a good deal with Joe in Loewgang.

"You didn't expect that Haydn, Duolun, and Kaban, the three of them would turn to me, right?" Joe laughed and kicked Bill, causing him to let out a groan of pain, "You didn't expect me to shoot at you so quickly, did you?" ”

"It's just that there are always many surprises or horrors in life...... There's always something going on that you wouldn't expect. ”

Joe shook his head slightly, his fingers rubbing against the baton hanging from his waist, squinting at Bill and Chuck waiting.

Last night's raid went well, and the guards of the Wells, Turing, and Cecil families were demoralized and crushed by two or three charges from Joe and his allies.

There is even a guy who is secretly shooting, and most of the good players of the three major families were killed by him alone, which accelerated the collapse of the other party.

Joe and his allies suffered very little damage yesterday, with only a few dozen unlucky people killed by stray bullets and arrows, and more than 200 people suffering injuries.

In the town of Löfgang, there are remnants of other large and small families in Port Tulum, including dozens of large families who are now imprisoned in black prisons.

These people, Joe was thinking about subduing them.

Therefore, it seems that there is no need for Bill and Chuck to be sent to the port of Tulum for trial.

In Loew Gang, he directly found a crime and shot them in public. It was clearly better to use their lives to intimidate the rest of Loafgang.

"You ......," Joe looked at Bill thoughtfully.

"You can't ...... like that," Bill laughed dryly, "I confess, we're guilty...... Joe, look at the uniform you're wearing, you're a cop, you're an Imperial policeman, you have to follow the legal process, you can't lynch us abusively. ”

"I didn't abuse the lynching, and you were shot dead on the spot for resisting the Imperial Police's enforcement work during the enforcement operation I led last night." Joe smiled brighter and brighter: "I killed you in a reasonable, reasonable, compliant, and legal way." ”

"I ...... I have a sum of money......" Bill suddenly lowered his voice: "At the Imperial Royal Bank in Port Tulum, I have deposited a sum of money...... I am willing to dedicate it to you. ”

Joe was slightly stunned, and he was about to speak, when a cavalry gathered around a four-wheeled carriage roared.

The armed sailors on the periphery wanted to stop this group of men and horses, and the cavalry who rushed in front waved their whips and whipped them indiscriminately, and in the piercing sound of breaking the air, dozens of sailors screamed in pain and were whipped up by the whips, and one by one flew out of twenty or thirty feet, fell to the ground and rolled around with their faces and howled.

Joe's eyes froze.

A small horsewhip can whip these sailors into the air, and the strength of these cavalry is very strong!

Ya, Si Gengs, and the good hands of various allied families gathered around Joe, and the two brothers Lan Mujin and Lan Kikyo stood by Joe's side one on the left and one on the right.

Below the hill, a row of more than 20 field guns slowly turned their guns and aimed at the galloping team.

One of the cavalrymen who rushed to the front raised his arms in the air, and he shouted loudly: "In the name of the Empire, the Marquis of Seacok von Lawrence has arrived...... Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way! ”

Dozens of cavalrymen scattered and charged forward in a row, whips in their hands constantly chirping.

The guards and armed sailors gathered around were from more than a dozen families, and they were unfamiliar with each other, and when these cavalry rushed them, the ranks were thrown into chaos, and dozens of guards were whipped and flew away.

They heard the name of the Marquis of Seeak again, and their ranks were even more confused, and they were easily rushed to the hill where Joe was.

The tooth gave the order in time, and the artillery team did not open fire.

The carriage made a great arc and stopped under the hill, and hundreds of horsemen grabbed the reins and drank their mounts. Several horsemen jumped off their mounts, walked to the door, and pulled out the movable pedal under the door before pulling the door open.

Dressed in a black dress, Lilith von Gleiton, the 'black widow' of the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters, stepped out of the carriage slowly.

Wrapped in a black cloak and holding a cane, the Marquis of Seeak jumped out of the carriage after Lilith with a gloomy face.

That's right, not to walk out, but to jump out of the carriage directly.

With his age, his status, such an action is undoubtedly rude and reckless.

The Marquis of Seeak, with a gloomy face, strode past Lilith in two or three steps, and rushed to Joe with a gust of wind. He gasped, poked the ground with his right cane, stared at Joe angrily, "Joe Rong Witu, what do you want to do?" ”

Before Joe could speak, the Marquis of Seaak had already pointed to the dozens of leaders of Wells, Turing, and Cecil who were lying on the ground.

"How dare you, how dare you, hurt the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters, an intelligence officer loyal to the Empire?"

"Huh? Ha? Jo opened his mouth wide and looked at the Marquis of Seeak, who was flushed with anger.

"Young Master Qiao, what you just said couldn't be more correct—'There are always many surprises or horrors in life...... There's always something going on that you wouldn't expect.'" Flying Fish Chuck gasped and staggered to his feet.

In a brief battle last night, Flying Fish Chuck was shot in the left arm, and like the wound on Bill's leg, the people of the Wittu family did not treat him well, so the muzzle of his left arm was still bleeding.

He was stabbed several times in the chest and right arm during the melee resistance, but it was fine that he didn't move, and as soon as he moved, blood seeped out of the scabbed wound.

Joe, as well as the rest of the people around him, all stared at Chuck the Flying Fish.

Flying Fish Chuck took a deep breath, moved to the Marquis of Seeak step by step, stood upright, and saluted him: "Your Excellency, it's great that you arrived in time...... The funds I raised for the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters were brutally confiscated by Officer Qiao......"

Flying Fish Chuck blinked his eyes vigorously for a while, and finally squeezed out a few tears from his eyes, and he whispered: "Several brothers in our intelligence headquarters were killed by Officer Qiao last night. They are all warriors loyal to the Empire, they shouldn't have died so cheaply! ”

Joe opened his mouth and looked at Chuck the Flying Fish in amazement, a 'buzz' in his head.

Five more men stood up among the leaders of the three major families who were lying on the ground, and they walked up to the Marquis of Seeak and said something similar to that of the Flying Fish Chuk.

All in all, they were intelligence officers of the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters, they were the men of the Marquis of Seeillac, and Joe had killed their subordinates last night and seized the goods they had prepared to raise funds for the Intelligence Headquarters.

"Joan Jung Ritu, give me an explanation." Siak angrily leaned up in front of Joe, opened his mouth, and gulped out saliva.

"Your Excellency, what are you, black eats black?" Joe finally reacted...... This is a hell of a black eats black!

Marquis of Seesick, he wants to swallow the interests of the three major families in Loeff Heights!

Black eats black, and it's extremely greedy, almost shameless black eats black!
