Chapter 502, Coercion
The other side.
Temporary conference hall.
There are several small meetings a day before the start of the formal parliament.
The discussion was also about the plans of the Federation for the coming year.
At the end of the meeting, the parliamentarians from all sides began to leave in groups.
Rebecca doesn't have any friends here, and naturally there is no one to leave together.
At this moment, a figure walked over.
Sit down beside Rebecca, "Mrs. Rebecca." ”
Looking up, it was the city of Prul 'Tavik'.
Tavik, who was originally a cloth merchant in Prull City, was later supported by Fang Hao to the position of the city lord.
This time, naturally, it was also on behalf of the city of Prull in the council.
It's just that in order to avoid suspicion, he didn't go to meet Fang Hao, and if there was anything, he was also asked to convey the news verbally.
"Lord of Tavik." Rebecca smiled.
Tavik nodded, and looked around warily to see that no one was noticing.
Only then did he whisper: "The church mentioned to me this time that the undead haunted the north, I'm afraid that news has reached the ears of the church. ”
To the north of Prull City was Fang Hao's territory.
Although most of the undead have been placed in the caves.
But there are still women of the earth spirits who patrol with the undead.
Occasionally, residents and caravans will bump into each other.
As long as you don't attack and get close to the city, you won't be attacked by the undead.
But when these reach the ears of the church, it will be a big trouble.
Rebecca's brows also furrowed, and she said, "No one mentioned it at the meeting!" ”
"Well, the church approached me privately and asked about the undead."
"Where is the church watching?"
"Although I promised that the city of Pruul was not threatened by the undead, according to the church, it is very likely that a temple will be set up in Pruul in the coming year." Tavik said.
The city of Pruul belongs to the northern border of the Hundred Cities of Mankind.
And the location where Fang Hao's city is located is itself a no-man's land outside of human forces.
To be divided, it is also an area that belongs to the orcs.
In the past, the city of Pruhr was also at the bottom of the city's development, and the church paid little attention to the city.
This year, it seems that they are starting to pay attention.
"Well, I'll talk to Fang Hao about this matter when I go back, and see what he thinks when I get there." Rebecca whispered.
Someone else was passing by.
Tavik smiled and changed the subject, "The fabric of Prull City will be sold in Lisis City next year." ”
"Yes, for the safety of the trade road, I will arrange for someone to be responsible for cleaning up."
Wait for passers-by to leave.
Tavik continued, "The church is also inquiring about the temple in the city of Lisis, and it means that I am asking them to provide them with information. ”
Rebecca looked stunned, and her face was a little ugly.
She didn't know what happened to the temple, but it should also be related to Fang Hao.
After all, she also knew that Fang Hao had a lot to do with the undead camp.
"Okay, I see, I'll be careful." Rebecca said.
Tavik nodded, got up and smiled, "Haha! The business of the coming year will depend on your care, Madame. ”
Rebecca smiled politely, "Yes." ”
"Then don't bother." With that, Tavik turned to leave.
……
When Tavik leaves, Rebecca leaves.
But before he could get up, he saw a man in aristocratic clothes striding over.
Grote Marshall, council representative of the Hundred Cities Chamber of Commerce.
At the same time, Rebecca and others are the masterminds behind what happened along the way.
Grote walked over with a glass of wine and a chuckle on his face.
As if he had stumbled upon Rebecca, he greeted him and said, "Hey, Mrs. Rebecca, we haven't left yet, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”
Rebecca looked at the guy with a smug smile on his face.
His heart was full of disgust, but here, he still maintained basic etiquette, nodded slightly, and expressed his response.
Grote still smiled, his eyes greedily sweeping over Rebecca's proud figure.
"Mrs. Rebecca, I've heard that the city of Lisis has been in some trouble lately, and if you think we're friends, tell me that the Marshall family will ......."
Rebecca isn't in the mood to act with this guy from here.
Grote's purpose was clear to her.
The biggest threat to Lisis City is him, and by saying these things now, he is threatening himself.
Before he could finish speaking, he immediately interrupted, "Thank you, no need, Lisis City is fine, nothing happens." ”
Indifferent words for Rebecca.
There was an expected smile in Grote's eyes, and he said, "Hey! Mrs. Rebecca, I have gotten some gossip that after you left, someone bribed the people of Lisis City and got a lot of your internal information, I'm afraid that when the council officially begins, these things will appear in the council in the form of evidence, and in your current situation, hey~! I'm afraid it will affect your location. ”
After a pause, his expression was teasing, his eyes looked at Rebecca's chest and lower abdomen unabashedly, and continued: "Actually, Rebecca you know, we are old friends, you can talk to me if you have difficulties, think of a way together, plus our Marshall family's connections, the problem is not very difficult to solve." If you don't mind, you can come to my place, have a drink together, and discuss ....... ”
If you don't know him.
This set of words really sounds like thinking about countermeasures for an old friend.
And 'Olivia' had already sent a message to Rebecca a few days ago.
Told her that Grote had information about the city of Lissis.
Rebecca's face was already full of anger, and she was extremely disgusted with this hypocritical and insidious man who was always pestering her ears.
Before he could finish speaking, he interrupted again and said, "Mr. Grote, please get out of here, I have nothing to tell you." ”
Rebecca's voice was loud, even among the other councillors around her.
He also cast a curious gaze here.
But when he saw that it was Grote and Rebecca, he was just watching from a distance, and he didn't have the idea of coming over to relieve the siege.
After such a fuss, Grote is not good at continuing to entangle.
After all, the nobles are insidious and cunning behind their backs, and they still have to maintain an upright image on the surface.
Grout shrugged his shoulders, the gloom in his eyes flashed, and he no longer concealed it, and said with a sneer: "Rebecca, I gave you the opportunity, you don't want it yourself, I hope you don't kneel to beg me when the time comes, beg me to let you go." ”
He had wanted this woman for a long time.
Graceful and luxurious, but more flavorful than the women he gets.
Conquering such a woman can make him feel more fulfilled.
Moreover, he is not in a hurry.
She has evidence of the city of Lisses, and reality will force her to give in to herself.
At that time, he will crush all the self-esteem of the woman in front of him.
.......
When Rebecca heard this, her face turned red with anger.
Even if you try to maintain aristocratic etiquette, your fingers are clenched into fists hard, and you look white because of the excessive force.
She wanted to say something.
But there are no allies here, and if there is a dispute, it will only make itself more passive.
It was a one-size-fits-all negotiation, with Grote on the strong side.
Not far away, several male and female parliamentarians also walked over.
These people have been keeping an eye on this side, and they are with Grote.
"Haha, Mr. Grote, it looks like Mrs. Rebecca doesn't take your favor." A male parliamentarian, touching his mustache, said with a smile.
"That's right, Grote, you can choose a good woman in this city, why bother with such a foreigner." Another richly decorated old woman said in a strange way.
Grote put away the sinister look he had just had, showed an easy-going smile, and said, "I just saw that my old friend was in trouble and wanted to help, since Rebecca knew it, then I won't bother." ”
After speaking, he talked and laughed with the people next to him and walked out.
Grote left, and Rebecca's expression was still full of anger.
Sitting in a chair, his face gloomy.
And Asseti, who was waiting outside the door, saw that Rebecca had not come out for a long time.
I walked in to check it out.
When Rebecca is seen sitting alone in the hall.
Walked over quickly.
"Miss Rebecca, it's all right." Asetti asked softly.
Asseti is an orange hero and a woman.
was arranged by Fang Hao to be by Rebecca's side to protect her safety.
Hearing Asseti's voice, Rebecca shook her head, "It's okay, let's go." ”
There was still a smile on his face, and he couldn't see the slightest strange expression.
Everything that just happened was as if it hadn't happened.
"Oh, the carriage is ready, let's go back first." Asseti opens the way in front.
"Okay."
Rebecca got up and walked out with Asseti.
Not sure why.
The moment Asseti's voice rang in his ears.
All the things Rebecca had worried about were gone, and there was only one thought in her mind.
She also has Fang Hao, these things, Fang Hao will take care of them.
……
The other side.
Fang Hao returned to the room and motioned for Li Rong to sit down opposite.
As soon as I entered, I smelled the fragrance of a woman taking a bath.
poured Li Rong a glass of fruit wine.
Just now, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect to take a bath, Li Rong really figured out who set the fire.
"Who?"
Li Rong's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness in an instant, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Thorndike!" ”
Thorndike?
Thorndike, during this time, frequently appeared in Fang Hao's sight.
Earlier, after returning from exploring the dungeon, the team was ambushed.
Thorndike did it.
It's just that the team didn't cause any losses at that time, and this is Silverwing City, so he didn't deal with him immediately.
Unexpectedly, Li Rong was the first to doubt him.
"Are you sure?" Fang Hao was a little skeptical.
"Sure, I just received the news that someone saw the arsonist, and it was Thorndike's men." Li Rong's eyes were full of anger.
Li Rong has a high reputation among the traversers in Silver Wing City.
Although no gang forces have been formed, if you want to elect a representative figure, it must be Li Rong in this Silver Wing City.
And just now, when Li Rong was taking a bath, she received a message from someone else in the Book of Lords.
Someone saw Thorndike's men sneaking into the street last night, where the lights had been turned off and closed.
Not long after the man came out, the fire broke out.
And the fire was so big that it lit up the whole area.
Such a comparison, coupled with the grudges between the two sides in the past few days, there is no doubt that it must have been done by Thorndike.
Ordinary people want to take revenge, but they can't make such a big fire.
"What are you going to do?" Fang Hao looked at Li Rong.
Li Rong reached out to touch her cigarette.
found that he was wearing Anjia's clothes now, so he simply picked up the wine glass and took a sip of fruit wine.
After a moment of silence, he spoke: "According to the rules, kill people to pay off debts and pay money." ”
Hearing this, Fang Hao was stunned.
How can you still come up with a rule of the rivers and lakes?
"Any ideas?" Fang Hao continued to ask.
Li Rong glanced at Fang Hao twice, and then said softly: "Big Brother Fang Hao, how do you sell the kind of gun you used last time?" ”
The Lionheart Knight is armed with a bolt-action rifle.
But in Lisis City, they were all stored in the storage space by Fang Hao.
Only when they leave the city will they take it out and distribute it to the Lionheart Knights.
This is also because I am afraid that I will do something in the future, and once I am found to have bullets, I will track them down to my side.
And Li Rong found that Fang Hao had a rifle.
I was even more surprised in my heart, and when I returned to the territory, I rummaged through the shops in Fang Hao's channel.
It was found that the original thing was still sold, and the rifle was not sold.
"You want to kill him with a rifle?" Fang Hao guessed her thoughts.
The ruthlessness on Li Rong's face remained unchanged, and she said: "Well, my subordinates are not of high rank, and they may not be his opponents if they really fight, so I want to buy two guns and directly collapse him." ”
It can be seen that Li Rong is coming for real this time.
Fang Hao also wanted to kill Thorndike.
But the other party has always been in the city, and is better at using the rules of Silverwing City.
Once the two sides clash in the city, it is very likely that Thorndike will be fine, and Li Rong will be wanted in the city.
At that time, even their own cities will be attacked by Silverwing City.
Fang Hao thought about it and felt that Li Rong's idea was too impulsive.
There might be a better way to kill him.
"Li Rong, I also want Thorndike to die, but you can't be reckless, if Silver Wing City finds out that the two of you have fought together, Thorndike can take people away, your city is nearby, can you go?" Fang Hao said softly and persuasively.
"This ,......。" After Li Rong heard this, she didn't know how to answer.
The shop was burned, and she was ready to kill Thorndike regardless of the cost.
But Fang Hao didn't give her a gun, she didn't even have a chance to ignore the price.
Relying on his own people, that is, fighting with the other party, the chances of killing Thorndike are not very high.
"I can't take care of so much, if he doesn't die, how will I Li Rong open a store in the future, the traverser has no status in the city, if it is not solved well this time, then the store will be burned for the second time." Li Rong said angrily.
Fang Hao shook his head and said softly: "Of course he has to die, and the people behind him also have to die, but he can't impulsively put everything into it." ”
Li Rong also knew that what Fang Hao said was right.
I just hold a fire in my heart.
After taking two deep breaths, he said, "Then do you have any good ideas?" ”
There is only one way for Fang Hao to deal with this kind of thing.
It is to never suffer again.
Thorndike definitely has to die, otherwise there may not be any kind of mess that will be made.
It's just that he is not familiar with Silverwing City, and if he wants to kill him unknowingly, he still needs to investigate in detail.
"Do you know where Thorndike is in general?" Fang Hao touched his chin and asked softly.
Li Rong shook her head and said, "Dragon Tooth Tavern." ”
Fang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange this matter, and when the time comes, I will use the Book of Lords to inform you, and don't come to Silver Wing City in the next two days, so as not to do anything to Thorndike against you." ”
Li Rong was silent for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, then I'll go back and wait for your news." ”
Standing up, he turned his head again, and looked at Fang Hao seriously.
He whispered, "If you help me dispose of Thorndike, my sister will stay with you for three days." ”
Fang Hao was stunned, he had just drunk the water in his mouth, and he almost squirted out.
Said: "Oh! Both of these things are good for you. ”
Li Rong's thin white fingers slapped the table, "What do you mean, I can't see if I'm not." ”
"No, I'm still a kid, what are you telling me to do this?" Fang Hao smiled, and then continued: "I feel that Thorndike will definitely hide, and also let your people pay attention to his whereabouts. ”
In any case, it is very likely that Thorndike will go into hiding afterwards.
It will take some time and experience to find him.
"Okay, I'll let people keep an eye on him, and I'll let you know as soon as there's news." Li Rong also said seriously.
Fang Hao nodded and said to the door: "Arrange someone and send Li Rong back." ”
The door opened, and the guard said respectfully, "Miss Li Rong, please." ”
Li Rong glanced at Fang Hao seriously and strode out of the room.
