Chapter 37: The Little Roundabout
In the following days, everything seemed to return to normal in Gaoyang County, and for the residents here, not only those harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes had disappeared, but even the old men of the Song family who had been powerful in the past had become polite. They naturally knew what happened to the Song family that day, so in addition to being happy to see Song Yuanwen's death, they were even more grateful to Bolin who brought them all this.
And Boleyn has never appeared in front of anyone else in the past few days, except for going back and forth between the Earl's Court and the Bloodline Division Branch every day.
At this time, the entire southeast of the empire was shocked by the neutrality of Gaoyang County, accompanied by Ye Jianan's instant rise like a shining star in Gaoyang County, just one day she became the object of invitation from various wealthy nobles in the southeast, her beautiful figure shuttled through different aristocratic banquets, countless noble children fell under her pomegranate skirt, for a time her scenery was unique, the whole southeast knew that Ye Jianan of Gaoyang County had a bloodline potion in his hand, but he didn't know that Gaoyang still had Song Bolin.
Early this morning, President Ye, who was unusually busy, sat in her office early, and in front of him sat a smiling Bolin.
Bolin still smiled like this, but Ye Jianan's heart was in a trance, his smile did not change, but she felt that the man in front of her was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and every time she thought of this, her heart hurt inexplicably, but she would quickly be diverted from all her attention by the box in front of her.
"This is the last batch. ”
Bolin gently opened the box, revealing the dense blood potion inside. Then he smiled and looked at Ye Jianan, who was already full of joy.
Ye Jiannan couldn't accept the box by herself, she really wanted to say more to the man in front of her, but she really couldn't find a topic anymore, what to say. She felt a pang of regret when she knew the door was closed again, but in an instant her mind returned to the potions.
Vanity is sometimes a loose **, even if it is the pride of the sky, it is difficult to resist.
Bolin walked briskly all the way to the Earl's Palace, he seemed to be in a particularly happy mood today, he had greeted many people along the way, and now the people of the entire Gaoyang City seemed to know this young earl.
All the way back to the Earl's Palace, as soon as he entered the door, Boleyn's eyebrows couldn't help jumping, and he suddenly felt a little different in the entire Earl's Palace.
The corners of his mouth showed a hint of coldness, and he went straight to the study. He was a little different from his father, who liked to discuss things with his men in the living room, but Boleyn always liked to think quietly in his study.
He sat down at the large, somewhat old desk, and said as if into the air:
"Since you're here, come out, do you 'black blades' like to be so mysterious when you see your employer?"
Boleyn seemed to be talking to himself a little boredly, but the floor of his study suddenly twisted, and a man wrapped in a black robe appeared in the study out of thin air.
"Black Blade has always been very cautious. Otherwise, how can we provide you with the best service? ”
The black-robed man said this without being arrogant or humble, but he was a little surprised in his heart how this young man with only third-level strength found himself in front of him.
Naturally, no one will get to the bottom of these questions, and after the two of them look at each other, the most 'normal' conversation between them begins.
At this time, Bolin took out an azure dagger from the ring and gently placed it on the long table.
When the black-robed man saw the dagger, his whole body was obviously shocked, and then he said in a deep voice:
"It seems that Lord Song is not here to take care of our business. ”
Boleyn didn't pay any attention to the change in his attitude, but said directly.
"I want to know, everything about him, the price is whatever you want. You don't think that's taking care of your business. ”
The black-robed man was obviously stunned for a while, and then suddenly fell silent. Bolin knew that he was thinking, he played with the dagger a little leisurely, learned from Zhao Xuanyu that day, and shaved his nails leisurely.
His actions obviously went down to the black-robed man. The black-robed man wanted to speak and stopped, he wanted to remind Bolin that the dagger was poisonous, but he woke up that Bolin in front of him must have known about it a long time ago.
After a long time, the black-robed man finally spoke.
"Your request is special, you must know that the Dark Blue Blade is our best killer, and his rank is even higher than mine. It's really hard for me to speak. ”
Bolin listened quietly, then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"But he's dead now, is the dead Dark Blue Blade still above you? ”
"Okay!"
The black-robed man breathed a sigh of relief, then stretched out three fingers and said:
"His message is worth 10,000 gold coins, my exception is worth 10,000 gold coins, and my organization will collect 10,000 gold coins!"
"Good!"
Bolin responded very happily, and the black-robed man's face flashed with a hint of joy, in fact, with his level, it is already quite good to have a few thousand gold coins for a mission, and now he can earn 30,000 gold coins at once, what can it be if he loses a little professional ethics.
"Darkblue Blade is a master who has become famous more than twenty years ago, and although he is our top killer of Darkblade, he doesn't just work for us. His whereabouts have always been very mysterious, and according to the custom of killers, no one has investigated his origins, and once we have a mission to dispatch him, we will go to a seaside in the south and light a lamp, then he will take the initiative to come and contact us. ”
"Location!"
Bolin interrupted his narration with some annoyance, and so far he hadn't heard anything useful.
"The territory of the Southern Lady of Duofang, a small town called Little Sandy Bay. ”
The black-robed man told the address with some anxiety, and he drew a map in great detail at Boleyn's signal. Finally, after seeing Boleyn's satisfied nod. He regained his coldness and arrogance.
"My money, my lord?"
Bolin put down the simple map in his hand, and then with a flick of his finger, a bundle of golden tickets immediately appeared in his hand. At this moment, he immediately saw a trace of greed flashing in the black-robed man's eyes, and even his body was a little impatient and trembled slightly.
Bolin shook off the golden ticket in his hand, and then spoke:
"Here are 100,000 golden tickets, 30,000 are your reward just now, and the remaining 70,000, I want you to help me kill someone!"
"Gollum!"
With a piercing swallowing sound, the black-robed man took the golden ticket tremblingly, and then carefully inquired about the target, but after a short moment, he turned into transparency and disappeared into Boleyn's study.
Boleyn watched him disappear, and a hint of anger flashed across his face. Some debts must be collected, no matter one way or another.
He hurriedly wrote down some more summons papers, and then went out without looking back.
The county of Duofang in the south of the empire is the territory of Dame Duofang, which is located due south of the empire, almost to the southernmost edge of the territory. Although Dame Duofang is the lord of this land, she can actually manage less than one-third of Duofang County, the reason is that she is located here by the sea, a large peninsula sticks out of the sea, and the other territories are scattered on the vast sea like islands, even if she wants to manage, she is powerless.
Most of the residents of Duofang make a living from fishing, and there are many unscrupulous ethnic groups living here, so the entire Duofang County is notoriously chaotic in the southern part of the empire.
Recently, a very strange businessman came to Duofang County. This merchant is not very old, but he seems to be extraordinary, and everyone thought that he would be a rich man, but after seeing the list of things he wanted to buy, the merchants couldn't help but be disappointed. Because all the things this businessman wants are not only complicated, but also very low-level, and there is basically no oil and water. Moreover, this person still did not agree to buy them separately, and the average small store naturally could not afford to stock those goods, so he could only always return them empty-handed. Soon the businessman became the talk of the people of the small peninsula in Duofang County.
On this day, Boleyn once again stepped into a clutter-looking shop. After showing the messy list again, the boss smiled and said to him:
"It turns out that the guest is the strange merchant who has been buzzing lately. There are only a few things you want, but if you're serious about buying them all, I can show you the way. ”
"Oh?" After so many days of searching, Bolin was almost desperate, and he didn't think that this boss could see a glimmer of hope here.
"You these things, ordinary shops may not be able to prepare them all at once, in the entire Duofang County, if you think about it, I'm afraid there is only Dame Duofang's butler! ”
As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, Bolin slapped a huge gold coin in front of him.
Boleyn soon met the butler of Dame Duofang. The housekeeper was shocked when he looked at the list, and he recognized at a glance that this was the list of goods he had issued to others. He thought that the inventory he had stolen from Dame Duofang over the years had been discovered, and he was about to flee when he was pressed to the ground by Boleyn.
"Say, who used to buy these things from you?"
"No, no, I didn't sell it!"
The butler still insisted on denying it, but with a slight force on Bolin's hand, he immediately screamed like a pig.
"I said, I said, the people on the small roundabout bought it from me, and I sold it once, just once. Spare me, spare me. ”
The disciplinarian cried, and suddenly he found that his neck was loose, and he looked up, only to see that Boleyn was long gone.
Bolin was a little impatient to rent a boat to go to the small roundabout, he was tossed and turned on the sea, looking at the waves he negligently saw his dark green blood, he had a hunch that he was very close to the answer he wanted.
The small roundabout is located on the sea south of Duofang County, and its area is not small, but because it is far from the coast, few people will go anywhere. Boleyn disembarked and motioned for the boatman to wait for him, and then he lifted his spirits and began to walk towards the interior of the island.
