Chapter 449: Settle accounts one by one
readx;? The Golden City was calm, or at least it seemed peaceful, without the slightest hint of the frenzied revenge that would have come with the riots in the city. Craftsmen www.biquge.info the craftsmen were working in their own way to repair the damaged buildings and streets, while the slaves laboriously cleaned the city. As for the merchants, they have already begun to urgently arrange their shops, and I believe that it will not be long before this place will become the latest bustling market.
Everyone knew that Meng Han would retaliate, but no one knew how Meng Han would retaliate and to whom. There is only one enemy to be sure, and that is the Duchy of Milan. As for the guys who participated in the riot, there was no revenge or retaliation, and when the riot was suppressed that night, all the guys who participated in the riot had already been wiped off their necks.
Order is gradually being restored, and people are emboldened. Especially those guys who came with serious business ideas from the beginning, and who were very happy to trade with Meng Han, after seeing Meng Han's violent strength, they only thought about how to make more, instead of other messes. There were also people visiting the edge of the morgue, and many even brought their own subordinates and associates.
This is the guarantee of the safety of the Golden City, even if there is a riot of tens of thousands of people, it will only be overnight. A wealthy businessman pointed to a large number of corpses and taught the people around him a lesson: "In the future, in the Golden City, do business honestly, don't think about any crooked things, as long as you can have one percent of the income of the Golden City Lord, we are also a rare rich man in this world, understand?"
When facing more than 20,000 corpses naked, especially when there are hundreds of magicians among them, as well as some strong people who are known to many people, no one agrees with superfluous ideas. In addition to shock, there is fear.
Meng Han didn't take the slightest revenge, but this made it even more difficult for some people with evil intentions to sleep. Within a day, in Huangsha City, at least four armed caravans of hundreds of people who had just arrived left in a panic. They were lucky not to catch the riots, and they were lucky enough to escape. But it was only superficial, and he didn't go far before he was intercepted by the guards of Archduke Catherine, and then disappeared without a trace.
However, another group of people was not so lucky. At least the few caravans that Meng Han knew about from the Duchy of Milan that were still on the way, Meng Han directly sent all the griffin knights to snipe. Their task is simple, if there is resistance, then kill them all, if they do not resist, capture them and hand them over to the local lord, and deal with them as appropriate after interrogation. In short, one purpose is to achieve that until the news of the total destruction of Jeffrey's side spreads, none of the hostile armed caravans coming from the Duchy of Milan can escape, nor can they become a source of trouble.
Maybe there will be some unjust, false and wrongful convictions, but this is not what Meng Han meant, but the order of the Archduchess Catherine, and Meng Han did not object.
Even if there are serious businessmen, there is no way. In any case, it is necessary to make the aristocratic merchants of the Duchy of Milan understand that their Grand Duke has made a foolish decision to choose a wrong enemy, and then the whole country has been lost.
The sacrifice of tens of thousands of people, coupled with the loss of people's financial routes, even if Meng Han had not officially taken action to clean up the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Milan, he himself fell into internal and external troubles first. It is not too much to describe the difficulty of sleeping and eating.
Jeffrey confessed to a lot of people, and it was not ruled out that he had the idea of putting his enemies on the ground, but the vague participation of those principalities and some empires that had been identified made the women around Meng Han a little frightened. Could it be that the Golden City has reached the point of rebellion and separation? How could there be so many enemies?
Meng Han was not uneasy at all, none of the Five Nations Alliance back then was an exception, and all of them participated, which was normal. From the beginning of their invasion, they were enemies of the principality, and it was not new to use any tricks. However, the participation of several major guilds made Meng Han a little angry.
Mr. Bruce, the negative youth of the Mercenary Guild in Huangsha City, was standing in front of Meng Han now, his head shrugged but he didn't dare to reach out and wipe it, he hung his head and listened to Meng Han's reprimand, motionless.
"I remember, the Soldiers Guild is a great guild, it is above board, and it does not accept the commissions of all kinds of darkness, am I mistaken?" Meng Han's voice was calm, but anyone could imagine the anger hidden under his calm: "Is it that the Soldiers Guild has deviated from its principles, or am I already a heinous murderer on the most wanted lists of the major empires?" Mr. Bruce, I need an explanation. ”
"Your Excellency, you must be mistaken. Bruce also had to carefully organize the wording, explaining to Meng Han: "The Soldiers Guild is definitely not involved in these things"
"Really?" Meng Han stared into Bruce's eyes and asked rhetorically, "Mr. Bruce, do you really think so?" Without waiting for Bruce to answer, Meng Han reached out and took a roster from Grace's hand, and then threw it at Bruce's feet with a snap: " This is a list of the masters who participated in the riot, including at least two hundred senior deacons and their guards, and more than thirty magicians affiliated with the Mercenary Guild, Mr. Bruce, can you explain to me how they came to be here during the riot?
The Senior Deacons and Wizards of the Mercenary Guild are rarely involved in the assignment of missions, they are members of the Guild itself, and are generally used as a force to maintain the safety of the Guild of Soldiers and deal with some of the most heinous murderers. The appearance of these people in the Golden City can only indicate one thing that the Soldiers Guild is involved in this matter.
"If Mr. Bruce isn't sure, you can go to the morgue yourself and find out who these people are. Meng Han then put pressure on Bruce: "You also know, I have someone here who specializes in handling corpses, and can keep those corpses for a long time. ”
"That's the evil necromancer!" Bruce thought to himself, but he didn't dare to say a word. Although colluding with the necromancer could convict Meng Han of a major crime, no one dared to say such a thing in Huangsha City, "Your Excellency, you know, I am only the person in charge of Huangsha City. Bruce was so anxious that he almost cried, but now he didn't dare to quibble, and lowered his posture: "I really don't know that these people are here." ”
"I can look into the time with you. Meng Han nodded, as Bruce, it is true that some high-level affairs will not let him know, what Meng Han wants Bruce to do is just let him convey his meaning: "I want an explanation! Either the Soldiers Guild admits to changing its rules and becomes as omnipresent as the underground guild, or it will give me an explanation." "My lord, what do you want to explain?" Bruce finally understood what Meng Han meant, and hurriedly asked.
"Someone to be responsible for this must be someone of such a position as to command hundreds of senior deacons
Meng Han did not hesitate to say his request: "I have to compensate for the losses caused to my Golden City." The exact amount, Grace, give him the math. ”
"These people in the Mercenary Guild are all masters, especially the damage caused by magicians. Grace also had a cold face and said coldly: "After our preliminary calculations, a total of more than 40 million gold coins have been lost. The main loss was the Rank 8 Berserk Treants, who destroyed over a hundred of them in total, and the damage to other buildings was not counted. ”
"Over forty million?" Meng Han seemed to be surprised, and then ordered: "Bruce is an old friend, the fraction is erased, forty million gold coins, and the Soldiers Guild only needs to compensate me for forty million gold coins, then, I can treat this matter as if I have never been born." ”
Mr. Bruce was crying and sad at the time, but he knew that he had no way to refuse, his identity and status, in this kind of competition, could only be a pawn who delivered the news, and it was the big guys above who really had to make the decision. However, Bruce had never been so suspicious of the high-level leaders of the Soldier Guild for a moment, wondering if they had their brains in water, honestly doing serious business with Meng Han, and the benefits of tens of thousands of gold coins every year were not needed, so they had to participate in such a thing.
Luckily, Mr. Bruce wasn't the only one with a sad face, and in Yellow Sand City, there was another person who was the same person, Mr. Jensen from the Underground Guild. And poor Mr. Jensen, like Bruce, stood in front of Meng Han at this moment, sweating like rain.
"The underground guild has a rule that it does not accept commissions for targets if the client's consumption does not exceed the target's consumption. Meng Han still looked at Mr. Jensen very calmly, as if he was at home with him: "Is there such a rule?" Mr. Jensen!" "Yes, my lord!" This rule was explained by Jensen himself to Meng Han, and it was impossible for him to recognize it.
"Well, I've spent millions of gold coins in the underground guild. Meng Han said this number very casually, plus the transaction of the base of the scroll and some magic scrolls, accumulated over the years, this number is a lot: "I would like to know, the Marquis Geoffrey of the Duchy of Milan, who has never owned a tenth of this number, how much has he spent with you?"
"My lord!" Compared with Bruce, Mr. Jensen's authority is relatively large, and he is involved in the business of killing people and setting fires, and he is a little more courageous, facing Meng Han's questioning, he carefully explained: "I don't know about this matter, my lord, you give me some time, I will reflect it to the high-level and give you an explanation." ”
"Okay, I'll wait!" Jensen was happy, and Meng Han was also happy: "The Soldiers Guild, I have made a condition, someone must be responsible for this, and I will be compensated for the loss of 40 million gold coins." It's the same with underground guilds, you can do it!"
