Chapter 190: Returning with a full load

readx;? Even if it is based on His Majesty the Grand Duke and the two His Royal Highnesses, it is not easy to only raise the first "small ten thousand gold coins" in one night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the same day, when Meng Han left the auction house, a group of confidants and nobles standing around His Majesty the Grand Duke were in the house of His Majesty the Grand Duke in the Giant Stone Castle, and an envoy from His Majesty the Grand Duke came to the door to discuss the matter of borrowing gold coins from each family.

Everyone knows why His Majesty the Grand Duke borrowed gold coins, and even many people know about the backstage of the auction house and the stupid decisions made before, but since they want to follow His Majesty the Grand Duke, then even if they are unwilling. They also had to endure the pain and more or less take out a batch of gold coins. Naturally, there are inevitably people who are secretly dissatisfied with this kind of behavior called lending, which is actually demanding.

For Meng Han, everyone has a very conflicted mind. On the one hand. Everyone wants to establish a good relationship with Meng Han, no one will have a grudge against gold coins, and judging from past experience, Meng Han has definitely more than a money-making project in his hands. On the other hand, he really wanted to see Meng Han unlucky, after all, Meng Han's days in the Boulder Castle not only made the Academy of Magic lose face, but also gave His Majesty the Grand Duke a headache. And indirectly helped the Marquis, and in the end, he had to swagger away a huge amount of gold coins from the megalithic castle, and no one would be very comfortable watching it.

Up to now, Meng Han can basically be said to have completed the purpose of coming to the Megalith Castle this time. Except for the fact that he didn't get the desired result in the magic trial, everything else seemed to be very satisfying.

In order to hold 600,000 gold coins, Meng Han found sixty of the latest cars overnight. Fortunately, with the Smith family, these cars are not a problem. Meng Han's instructions were sturdy, and he didn't need those fine decorations.

From the events of the auction. The old fox Evan also saw Meng Han's amazing potential, and at this time, he decisively stood on Meng Han's side. Not only did he give the 50,000 gold coins promised to Meng Han last time, but even these cars were completely free of charge.

Before going to the auction house. Meng Han went to the Marquis's Mansion again. This time, Meng Han also left the 50,000 gold coins of the Smith family in the Marquis's Mansion as the capital to buy goods for him. Believe in the shrewdness of the Marquis. After knowing about Elder Meredith. Won't do anything about it. The big thing that is lost because of the small is rarely able in an old politician like the Marquis

Arrive.

Sending gold coins is one thing. Another thing is resignation. Now that the purpose has been achieved, there is no need for Meng Han to stay in the Boulder Castle anymore, there are still many things to do in Huangsha Town, and the half of the silk industry that the Marquis bought also needs to go back to arrange.

The Marquis did not keep it, but only sent Meng Han a team of 200 strong guards as the escort of Meng Han's return journey. After all, if Meng Han wants to carry 600,000 gold coins, it will inevitably cause many people to covet it.

Even if there are masters of the elf clan accompanying him, but some little thieves can't ask the noble elf elders to take action, right?

The auction hall was unusually happy this time, and as soon as Meng Han arrived, he didn't say a word and began to move the gold coins. Although there are more than a dozen groups of people at the same time. The whole process took more than half a day to complete.

His Majesty the Grand Duke was also very happy, and in addition to compensating the gold coins, he even took the initiative to give away the confiscated family property of the great magician Kozmo. Of course, with Meng Han's current net worth, that little thing is no longer eye-catching, but a great magician, maybe there is something magical, Meng Han also accepted it unceremoniously, but he didn't have time to check it, and when he went back, he would slowly clean it up.

The team leaving the megalithic castle was very arrogant, 600,000 gold coins were scattered on sixty carts, and there were many guards around. The long queue left in a mighty way, and the onlookers on the road had golden eyes one by one, staring at the long gold coin cart, almost drooling and chatting: "Hey, do you see? The car is full of gold coins!"

The gold coin cart finally came out of the boulder castle, and it came out of the boulder castle unharmed, which made the stones fall to the ground in many people's hearts. At least, Meng Han walked out of the matter, and it had nothing to do with the Boulder Castle.

The after-dinner conversation of the residents of the megalithic castle has not yet dissipated. But many people have already started to use their brains. A hillbilly nobleman, a tyrant, really wants him to get the huge sum of 600,000 gold coins back to his territory? And before that, even before Meng Han left the city, countless people had already left the Giant Stone Castle in advance, not knowing where they were going.

Many people, including His Majesty the Grand Duke, watched Meng Han leave with the gold coins with a complicated feeling. This time, Meng Han came to the Boulder Castle, and many people didn't see the situation clearly, thinking that he was just a country tyrant, but they didn't expect that this country mob had almost changed the distribution of power in the Boulder Castle, and even the entire principality was affected.

"You two, don't fight Antonio's idea. His Majesty the Grand Duke once again told his two sons: "Since he dares to go on the road with gold coins like this, it means that... , have been prepared for a long time, Qianji will not fall into their trap

"Yes, father!" the two highnesses respectfully agreed behind them, but the eyes of the two people shone with a wild light, and their minds were no longer in front of them. Or both of them understand that no matter who it is, as long as one of them can get the 600,000 gold coins, then they will have a greater advantage in the next competition.

Meng Han swaggered through the market along the way, without the slightest awareness of being targeted. The elves from Elder Meredith up and down seem to have turned into ordinary people, ordinary mercenary groups, together with the team sent by Lord Marquis, scattered to protect the entire convoy. This amount of money was so large that Meng Han even asked Elder Meredith to gather all the people he could muster.

The facts also showed that Elder Merripers did not lie at all, and in just two days, the masters of the elves received a signal to flock to them, and the manpower quickly exceeded thirty people, basically, each. The person was in charge of two cars, which was quite relaxed. At least that's what Meng Han thought, a Sword Saint was responsible for protecting the two cars, and there was himself and the Marquis's manpower as a replacement, which was simply foolproof.

On the first day, there was no incident. Gangwang left the Boulder Castle, believing that no one was willing to make a move in this sensitive place. Meng Han walked unhurriedly, and stopped after walking less than thirty miles a day, and camped against a hill to rest.

Two hundred guards sent by Lord Marquis. In charge of guarding the outer part of the camp, Meng Han brought the men from Huangsha Town, and the people of the Elven Mercenary Regiment were in charge of the inner layer. No one would have known that the location of this camp was the place where Elder Meredith had stored his stolen goods after they ransacked the auction house's vault.

Actually, it's not that hard to get something from the auction house, at least that's what Meng Han thinks. Elder Meredith also expressed difficulty at the time. It's easy to subdue the people in the auction house, but you have to get things out. But it's a difficult one.

Meng Hanyue's thinking in this world played a role again. Although Elder Meredith was a Dharma Saint, her thinking was still much more limited. When Meng Han easily made a helicopter concept, Elder Merrius looked at Meng Han's gaze, as if King Chu Wen had seen He's bi.

Of course, it is impossible to build a helicopter in this world, but what Meng Han wants is just this concept, there is a magic saint of the elven race, Meng Han can easily use a car to engrave a levitation magic circle, and then use it as this means of transportation. Compared to a real helicopter, the magic is more stable and quiet. It was a breeze for a Dharma Saint to do this.

To put it bluntly, it's actually very simple, Meredith and the nineteen elven sword saints made a move, plus Meng Han's help in manipulating the clouds, those guards in the auction hall didn't even resist at all, just one by one. He was sent into a coma. The patrol team sent by His Majesty the Grand Duke was only patrolling around, and under the cover of darkness, who could present a "transport helicopter" controlled by the Elven Law Saint? The Elven Sword Saints who remained at the scene were all acting as porters. Overnight, more than a dozen back and forth, the entire auction house's vault was cleaned.

The stolen goods were hidden here, and they were simply disguised. When Meng Han was camping, in the middle of the night, a group of people started together, and soon, sixty cars were full. Originally, Meng Han's cars were not full, saying that it was for the sake of stability. In fact, it is to fit more of these. When he set off the next day, it was still a convoy of sixty cars, nothing more, nothing less, except for the people around Meng Han, no one knew that the value of this convoy had more than doubled.

As the convoy moved away from the megalithic castle, the number of pedestrians on the road seemed strangely increasing. Everyone seemed interested in the long convoy and would always take a closer look before leaving. What is the inside story, everyone understands. It's just that no one said anything.

"It seems that there are still a lot of people interested in these things of yours!" Sitting in the car with the levitation technique that had been handled by the elder himself, Merrius took a sip of a cup of elven flower dew, put it on the stable small table, and said to Meng Han with a smile.

"Ashamed! ashamed! greedy for money, greedy for money!" Meng Han said ashamed, but there was no trace of shame on his face, the two little maids behind him were gently massaging Meng Han, and the two elven slaves that Meng Han bought back were also massaging her behind Elder Meredith at the moment.

"I hate that so many people are making decisions in secret. Elder Meredith didn't care: "You're the master, and you're responsible for that." ”

"Of course!" Meng Han agreed. He asked rhetorically, "Elder, if you want these people to retreat from the difficulties, what is the most effective method to use?"

Brother Li, you will really enjoy it, the place is good, and Zhang Zhang did not let the two policemen enter the village, and took the two of them to the small beach outside the village. Although the weather has darkened a lot, fortunately the moonlight is still bright, and the three of them are blowing some cool wind on the beach, and their spirits can't help but be refreshed. One of them couldn't help but exclaim.

"Indeed good place. I plan to build a few villas here in the future and connect them to this beach," Zhang Zhang stretched out his hand and gestured to a range: "Turn this whole place into my own territory." ”

"Okay, huh? The other laughed.

"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. Zhang Zhang exhaled a breath of turbidity, "After two world wars, the world has changed too fast and too fast. Sooner or later, Hong Kong will still be dominated by Chinese, and the British will have to get more and more on the sidelines. Don't forget, it's just their "lease." After the expiration date, even if the big 6 government doesn't want it, more than ninety percent of the Chinese in Hong Kong can let them take advantage of this forever? Hong Kong's status is so important that taxes alone are enough to make people feel distressed to death. ”

"I can't think of anything after that. But I know you're in trouble now, Brother Li!" said the man from earlier.

"If you get any news, just say, don't pretend to be deep for me!" Zhang Li looked at the man and smiled again: "Besides, you don't pretend to be like it!"

"Hehe" The policeman laughed a little, and said again: "Brother Li, you guessed correctly, after James finished talking to you, we did realize that he went to the prison warden's office." And I went twice today alone. He usually only goes there a few times a week. ”

"As expected!" Zhang Zhang sighed and laughed again: "These people are really *** unwilling. ”

"Brother Li, how did you show that there are still people behind James? The prison warden is high, and we usually hide when we see each other, and we can't even think of it. The policeman asked again.

James asked me for a bribe, and I intimidated him, but he didn't have any temper, but did what I said, "What do you think can make him so reluctant to be so angry with me, a Chinese subordinate? Even if he wants to make a little money from me, he won't do this." Therefore, it is only possible that he is supported by others. Can his current status, how many people in Stanley Prison can make him so honest? Zhang Zhang spread his hand and explained.

"Brother Li, when we looked up from the tower, we also saw another person with James. That guy doesn't belong to our Stanley prison establishment. Another policeman said.

"Oh, who is it?" said Zhang Liran.

"Our old enemy, the British chief inspector who followed Forde and sent them in, Laszlo!" replied the man.

"Laszlo, hehe" Zhang Li chuckled twice and took a deep breath of the cool air in the sea breeze: "It's still collusion between inside and outside." Hehe, I said how can they be so confident, there are also people on the police side who are complicit. ”

"What are you going to do? They have to take it seriously, and now they suspect you, and if you don't handle it well, you will be in big trouble. The policeman said worriedly, "These Britons are not a good thing

"I'm afraid that even if they know that they don't actually have those things, they will be angry and look for trouble with Brother Li. Another policeman continued.

"Don't worry. They don't have the guts to poke things out. Otherwise, that Laszlo wouldn't have to come over in person, he couldn't say anything on the phone, and he had to go to Stanley? It must have been a private action, so he had to hide it like this!" Zhang Zhang smiled, looking very relaxed.

"That's troublesome enough!"

"Yes, a prison warden and two chief inspectors, just stretch out their little fingers, and they can twist us into powder!"

Both officers were a little worried.

"You're just helping me send some news, what's the matter? What's more, they won't touch me now" "Moved me, where are they going to find those clues?" Zhang Zhang laughed.

"I think it's better to be careful! These foreign devils are not good people, who knows what tricks they will use?"

"Hehe, thank you for your concern. Don't worry, since they have already shown their tails, I naturally have a trick to deal with them. Foreigners are actually not very remarkable, but ordinary people are afraid when they see their ghostly appearance, and they can't think of or hold their vital points. Zhang Zhang smiled.

"Critical?"

"That's right. It's going to be harmful!" Zhang Zhang stretched out his arm and did a few chest expansion exercises: "Foreign devils are actually not as powerful as everyone thinks."

There are a lot of weaknesses, especially for civil servants like Steve and Janis, "as long as you are not afraid of getting into trouble yourself, deal with them." Actually, it's not difficult at all. ”

"How to deal with it?" the two policemen asked in almost unison.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Zhang glared at the two people: "This is all a trick that ends up together! They are not beneficial, and those like us can only use it as a last resort." ”

"Then you still say it's not difficult?" said a policeman dissatisfied.

"You will believe what I say?,, then when I was looking for you, why didn't you hurry up and agree to help?

"Who knew if you were real or not, and we didn't want to be betrayed by you, so we had to say thank you!" said another policeman.

"Don't worry, you won't have anything to do this time. Zhang Zhang shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Treasure, hehe, Lao Tzu really doesn't lack this thing."

When people are idle, swimming, and have nothing to do, they will only feel that time flies too slowly and is too boring, but once they are busy, they will appear, and time will always be so insufficient. It is said that this is why busy people always give people a youthful feeling. Because their mentality simply doesn't have time to age in a "short" time.

Tension feels that way now. But he didn't feel that he was getting younger and younger, after all, it was almost a two-lifetime experience, even if he wanted to be young, it was difficult, he just felt that his time was really not enough.

Now that Steve, the warden of prison, and Laszlo, the two guys standing behind Janiss, he didn't delve into how these people decided that he was the only clue to the fictitious treasure, which was already a fait accompli, and it might not be useful to know why. Moreover, excessive in-depth investigation may also arouse the vigilance of these people, if the other party shows that he already knows about their existence, I am afraid that it will only make them go from dark to light, and blatantly use methods, which will be unfavorable to him. So, he simply pretended to be confused.

However, "confused" is confused, and taking advantage of this opportunity, tension began to reverse calculate.

In the next few days, he first took advantage of James's unwillingness and inability to turn his face for the time being, and approached him several times in succession, and proposed several more plans to him. The first of these is to ask James to include the paper consumption of the "Hong Kong People's Daily" in the prison's normal monthly consumption, that is to say, in the future, the paper used by his newspaper office will be the public funds of Stanley Prison, and he will not have to spend his own money! The second article is that James secretly raised the price of the newspaper for the prison! Each newspaper has been raised from one dime to five cents! In addition, the actual daily sales of newspapers to the prison have dropped from 500 to 300 copies. In other words, his newspaper office delivered 300 copies a day, but charged 500 copies at the new price.

According to his explanation of James, the newspaper is only for the prisoners to improve the cultural life anyway, and the prison guards do not occupy much, so instead of letting the prisoners read it in turns, what is the difference between one and two copies? Anyway, the more the difference in the number, the more benefits everyone will have. And James, under his temptation, also thought that this remark was very reasonable, and felt that a small newspaper really didn't use much paper, and it wouldn't be a big problem for the prison to subscribe to the newspaper to buy one or two hundred fewer newspapers a day, so he didn't think about it any further, so he agreed in a daze.

However, the foreign chief inspector who was born as a soldier did not expect that he was sloppy and confused, but he had already fallen into the evil of tension!

These two tricks are actually very black! Because, as the readership of "Hong Kong People's Daily" has become larger and larger, the amount of paper used by their newspaper has reached more than 4,000 sheets a day, and even if the price of paper is not very high, it cannot stand up to the large number! In addition, the prison side has to pay another 500 copies of the newspaper, and it has to be calculated at a dime and a half, so that in total, Stanley will have to spend nearly 100 yuan a day on "Hong Kong People's Daily." And such a month is more than 3,000 yuan, and the salary of almost 30 ordinary prison guards is so wasted" However, even this amount is only guaranteed to be calculated according to the current conservative figures. You must know that the sales volume of "Hong Kong People's Daily" is increasing every day, although it is not very fast, it is only a few dozen a day, but after a month, the sales volume will increase by hundreds to 1,000, and after that, as the influence of the newspaper grows, the number of daily increases will inevitably rise, if it can persist in this way for two to three months, Zhang Zhang predicts that Stanley Prison will probably have to pay 78,000 or even 10,000 yuan for his newspaper every month! That's enough for James to travel to Victoria for a short period of time, and maybe even the prison warden Steve!

And that's just the beginning.

"James is just a little hairy, he doesn't have a lot of brains, and he is a little confused, so it doesn't take much effort to deal with him. The key is Steve and Laszlo in the back! These two people are the most troublesome, they usually can't be touched, if you want to pull them into the trap, you have to start in a place where they don't pay attention and generally don't pay attention, and when there are enough chips in your hand, we don't have to be afraid

Zhang Zhang said to the two policemen who were helping.
