Chapter 7: Ten Gold Coins
The door opened, and a cold wind blew in, and everyone in the room couldn't help but shiver......
At this time, Buck looked at Rogge coldly, and Rogge was not timid at all, and looked at him coldly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He didn't know, now Buck is also very worried in his heart, if he didn't believe Rogge's words at the beginning, but a person like him who got up from the bottom of the ladder, his vision is not comparable to those few subordinates, every move from Rogge entering the house is in his eyes, if Rogge is pretending, he won't believe it.
A slum kid talks freely, looks haughty, and doesn't take himself seriously in his words, not many people in the whole of Dale County can do it, and Rogge's series of performances make Buck believe seventy percent.
Coupled with Rogge's later words, mentioning Deacon Owen, Buck was even more shocked, that was the great butler of the Viscount's Mansion, and he was deeply trusted by the Viscount.
Not only are the big and small affairs of the Viscount's Mansion handled by Deacon Owen, but even some of the financial affairs of Dale County are handled by Deacon Owen.
This kind of powerful figure in Dale County, the average nobleman does not dare to offend, let alone a character like himself, which just confirms why Rogge's attitude is so arrogant, and how to do things under such a character, can you not be arrogant.
As for the Imperial Festival, it was the last day of the year and was celebrated by everyone from the nobility to the commoners, and the nobility cared very much about this day.
Every year on this day, Lord Viscount feasts all the well-known people of Dale County, these people are not something like himself can be guilty of, let alone destroy the memorial service, which is more terrible than offending the nobles!
Thinking of this, Buck believed ninety percent of Rogge's identity, and when Rogge finished speaking, the last bit of concern was gone, in Dale County, except for the nobles, no one could offend themselves without suffering the consequences, if a kid like this was really lying to himself, he would know that death was liberation!
As everyone knows, this kind of psychology was taken by Rogge, and he fell into Rogge's trap step by step!
Take note, Buck and a few people glanced at each other, took a deep breath, and his attitude towards Rogge changed instantly, as Rogge said, Deacon Owen's subordinates are not comparable to ordinary noble servants, a little slack, if Rogge fanned the flames in front of Deacon Owen, a character with a bad record like himself, something happened to them is not something they can afford.
Besides, there are many friends and many roads, this truth is quite practical for people like them, not to mention the people in the Viscount's mansion, and then said politely: "My subordinates are a little reckless, I really don't know that you are doing things for Deacon Owen, that girl turns out that you know, Itrez is not released quickly!"
"Fooled, tsk, if you're not afraid of smart people, you're afraid of being stunned!" Rogge secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "But smart people are smart people, and the pros and cons are very clear, and now you know how to tie up people!"
Ordering his subordinates to release Asuna, Buck's face was cloudy, which was the reason why Buck was worried, now the slums are becoming more and more difficult to arrest people, and more and more people dare to resist him.
Buck is not stupid, for these people is just extorting some money, really forcing these poor people who have nothing to fight with themselves, that is not a wise choice.
Usually find some people who have no resistance to start, such people have them every year, and it can be regarded as a long-term business, but there are still very few 'harvests' like today.
Seeing that Rogge seemed to care about the girl who cut off her toe, it wasn't worth a few dollars anyway, so he simply gave it to Rogge as a favor, but if this kid really wanted someone in the name of the Viscount's Mansion, wouldn't he be busy in vain.
"But..."Looking at the pleading eyes behind Asuna who hurriedly ran over, Rogge frowned, and then looked at Buck's gloomy expression, and secretly thought in his heart: "It's all come to this point, there's no need to retreat, then I'll give you another set!"
"Buck, you don't seem to have heard what I said!" Rogge said with a proud face, "I can remind you that there is a shortage of people in the Viscount's Mansion right now. ”
"Human trafficking is protected by imperial law. Hearing Rogge's words, Buck's face instantly became gloomy, and there was no politeness in his tone: "In the slave market in Dale County, Buck is also the number one person, and I have always said the same here, I said that these are all slaves who were voluntarily sold to me, and no one dares to say no!"
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, Rogge knew in his heart, he was not surprised that Buck behaved like this, and immediately stretched out a finger and continued: "Hmph, who are you as a noble viscount? Do you care about that little bit of money? Ten gold coins!"
"Ten gold coins?!" Hearing Rogge's words, Buck's eyes instantly widened, and their faces were full of disbelief.
"Ten gold coins, do you think the Viscount can't afford it? Don't think too beautifully, the Viscount's Mansion is short of people now, ten gold coins is to buy all the people in your hands, you won't only have these few people in your hands, right?" Rogge still looked arrogant.
"No, no, no, the honorable Viscount is willing to offer such a price, and that is to take care of my Buck's business. Buck reacted quickly, waved his hand, and said, "There are still seven or eight in your hand, and ten gold coins are all sold to you, I don't know this gold coin?"
"How could I have it, I have to report this matter to Deacon Owen. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I don't know when to trade?"
Rogge looked at the surprised expressions of several people, and secretly sneered, plus these people are probably not worth a few gold coins at the market price, and at several times the price, it is inevitable that they will have such a performance.
Under the lure of high profits, people tend to be carried away by interests, become blind and stupid, Rogge sneered secretly, but this can also buy himself more time.
Seeing that Buck and the others were in the trap again, Rogge raised his eyebrows and said: "There is still some time before the imperial memorial, and Deacon Owen is very busy on weekdays, especially these few days, so let's do it, seven days later, still in this place, I will bring Captain Charles over to collect people!"
Rogge didn't dare to push the time too long, Rogge still understands the truth that changes later, and seven days is already the limit, the reason why Charles is mentioned is to give Buck another dose of reassurance.
Turning his head to appease Asuna, who was clutching the corners of his clothes, he said: "Little Asuna is my sister, since you take care of me so much, I will remind you, it is best not to leak this news, you are not the only one at the head of the slave market, if the family finds Deacon Owen and mistakes your business, don't blame me." ”
"Hahaha, I understand this, no one here dares to say it!" Hearing that Rogge was going to take Charles to lead the people, he had no doubt about Rogge's words, he usually dealt with this city guarding officer, thinking of this, he glanced at the few people beside him with a hideous face, and secretly warned.
The rest of the people are not stupid, such a large deal is very rare in the past few years, so naturally they will not give this opportunity to others.
"But there are some things I have to warn you about. Seeing the looks of several people, Rogge nodded secretly, put on a noble appearance, and continued: "These people will be servants of the Viscount's Mansion in the future, if there is anything missing, even if I won't say anything, I can't guarantee that they will have any thoughts about you, besides, the future is long, these children may become high-ranking figures one day, and when something happens, you can't afford it, you know?"
"It's... I got it. Buck rarely does business in the Viscount's Palace, after all, he is the highest-ranking person in Dale County, and Buck has never taken slaves seriously, after being reminded by Rogge, he suddenly realized, and quickly stood up and said, "I will take good care of my subordinates." ”
"Well, so be it. When he was done, he glanced at the children in the room and walked out with Asuna.
"Your Excellency, you have these things with you. At the beginning of the period, under the eyes of Buck, the big man hurriedly took out the money bag in his arms and handed it over.
"Keep it for yourself, I'll be short of money?" Rogli ignored it, and he had to do a full set of plays, but he couldn't miss anything at the end.
"Yes, yes. Seeing that Rogge didn't accept it, he obviously didn't look down on his small money, so he turned his head to the old man outside the door and said: "Why don't you get out of here, haven't you heard what the adults say, what is there to be dissatisfied with such a good thing? Who dares to talk too much outside, is that I Buck not going to get along?!"
With Asuna limping on her back, Rog ignored the crowd and walked slowly.
"What do you think, so happy?" Rogge laughed as he felt Asuna's cheerful breathing behind him.
"Well, are you telling the truth?" Asuna's small voice came, "In the future, are you really Asuna's brother?"
Rogge was shocked when he heard this, thinking that Asuna had seen something, but after hearing it, it turned out that it was for this matter, and nodded and smiled: "Of course, in the future, you will follow your brother to eat and drink spicy food, and enjoy all the glory and wealth, how about it?"
"Eat fragrant and drink spicy?" Asuna rolled her eyes and didn't understand what it meant for a long time, and then said weakly: "As long as my brother and Asuna have a good meal, Asuna will be very happy, and it's better to have bread to eat..."
"Of course there will be bread, there will be meat, there will be big houses......"
......
The two talked and laughed along the way, but the quiet and happy times were always short-lived, and when they came to Uncle Keane's house, looking at the two with sad faces, Rogge's heart fell into a trough again.
The old man Dia was lying quietly on the bed, breathing weakly, the bread in his hand was still intact, it should be to save food, and he was not willing to eat it, and then Rogge understood that the old man's previous state was just a return to the light.
"Little... Little Rogge, are you here?" Old man Diya turned his head with difficulty and saw Asuna crying on the side: "Oh my God, you brought Asuna back?"
"Come, Grandma, there's bread here, eat it. The old man's hand shook twice, and he didn't have the strength to lift it, and Rog took the bread and handed it to Asuna.
"Little Rogge has grown up. The old man Diya looked at Rogge kindly, and said slowly: "I still remember the first time I picked you up in the snow, you were still so young, and you often came to me to steal things later......"
Looking at the old man's dry palm, almost only a skeleton remained, and a familiar scene came to mind, Rogge endured his almost riotous emotions, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma Dia, Rogge has grown up, you see Asuna and I have brought it back, you... If there's anything you can do, let me know, and Rogge will do it for you. ”
"Really?" Rogge's words seemed to provoke the last strength of the old man Dia, the old man's eyes widened, and he grabbed Rogge's hand, and finished the last sentence of the old man's miserable life: "Help me find my child......"
......
The fire was beating, and on November 31, 2216 in the imperial calendar, in the cold winter, Rogge sent away a kind and kind old man, and with the sporadic falling snowflakes, this person who would affect the fate of the entire empire and even the whole world fell into deep thought.
