Chapter 68 Grain Collection

After finally coaxing Lisa away, he returned to the bedroom tired, took off the ornate and cumbersome Viscount's Mansion under the service of the maid, and lay down on the bed.

For ten days in a row, Lei Ming stayed in the Viscount's Mansion to deal with official business, and occasionally took a carriage to the territory to check the situation.

"My lord, I'm back. Fafer pushed open the door excitedly, and this time the fighting spirit of going out had increased a little.

Lei Ming glanced at him, but he was not injured. Turning his head to look at the magic stone ore on the ground, this time it was obviously much better than before. Shaking the doorbell, two guardian knights walked in, and the car was well loaded.

The group walked out of the mansion, Lei Ming got into the carriage, and came to the Andre Chamber of Commerce.

After more than a month of trading, Andre has become an old acquaintance, and when he saw the magic stone ore in front of him, his chubby round face smiled like a flower, and without saying a word, he transferred 1.3 million gold coins.

"Fafel, gather all the city guards in the city and prepare some wagons. Lei Ming commanded, and the coachman drove for a moment to the merchant temple in the Grant City trade area.

The temple was not large, there were fewer people praying, and the occasional merchant passed by and gave a few gold coins and left in a hurry, looking deserted.

Bishop Arnold received the news, quickly greeted him, and said with a smile: "The great god of commerce is above, Viscount Thundering, do you have something to do here?"

Lei Ming nodded in greeting, took out the orange wealth card and handed it over, saying, "Your Excellency Arnold, help me withdraw 500,000 gold coins." ”

Arnold glanced at it enviously, raised his hand to take it, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, the Golden Coin Temple has it, but it needs the help of your subordinates." ”

Fafer, with the soldiers of the 100 squadron and ten wagons, came over. Dismount and salute, "My lord, it's ready." ”

"Go, help Bishop Arnold carry the gold coins. Lei Ming waved his hand, turned back and sat back in the carriage, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Half an hour later, ten wagons were full. The soldier looked at the golden coin, swallowed hard, and his eyes almost popped out.

"Viscount Thundering, according to your orders, all the 500,000 gold coins are here, do you want to count them?" Arnold quietly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and his voice trembled.

"No need. Lei Ming put away the wealth card and casually gave Arnold a thousand gold coins. Glancing at the surrounding soldiers, he took out a list and threw it to Fafer, and said indifferently: "The soldiers surround these grain merchants' mansions, and according to the above data, search for me." ”

He paused for a moment, then continued, "When the deed is done, ten gold coins per soldier." ”

Thousands of city guards looked ecstatic and shouted loudly. Some people couldn't help but get down on one knee and salute, one and two, and the soldiers did the same, and all of them fell to the ground. The square of the Agricultural Temple was filled with cheering soldiers, and the scene was spectacular.

With hope, the city guards were enthusiastic and worked countless times faster. Without Fafer's command, he spontaneously surrounded the merchant's mansion and collected food. Truckloads of grain were transported out and pulled the Viscount's Palace.

In the conference hall, hundreds of businessmen stood inside, from time to time craned their necks to look at the door. It's like an ant on a hot pan, so anxious that it rolls around. Seeing Lei Ming come in, he breathed a long sigh of relief and saluted in unison.

Before he could sit down, someone couldn't wait to ask, "My lord, didn't you say that you only need half of the grain? Isn't there no gold to buy grain, so it's hard to rob it?"

"Yes, although you are a fiefdom nobleman, if you don't give a reasonable explanation today, the people behind us are not vegetarians. ”

Lei Ming took a sip of tea lightly, waited for the conference hall to be quiet, then put down the information, and said slowly, "Finished? ”

The businessmen present looked at each other, remembering the thunder and murder a few days ago, and their fiery hearts seemed to have poured a basin of cold water on them. Helplessly, they glanced at each other and followed.

In the courtyard of the Viscount's Palace, ten horse-drawn carriages full of gold coins lined up.

Lei Ming turned around, his eyes were like knives, he swept over everyone sharply, picked up the information in his hand and still had on their faces, and said disdainfully: "Let's not talk about your previous deception of the Viscount Ben, open your eyes and see, it's just more than 1 million catties of grain, which is not enough for the people to eat for 20 days, do you really think that the Viscount Ben will rob it?"

He pointed to the carriage behind him and said coldly: "There are 500,000 gold coins here, and Viscount Ben will buy them at four hundred times the market price." Take the gold coins you deserve and get out of the Viscount's Mansion for me. ”

All the merchants were dumbfounded, they couldn't take out tens of thousands of gold coins because of the thunder before. Although everyone didn't say anything, they inevitably looked down on it in their hearts. I didn't expect that after ten days, so many gold coins were taken out. They slapped themselves in annoyance, picked up the gold coins, and hurried out of the Viscount's Palace.

A rush of footsteps approached, and Lisa gasped for a few breaths and said anxiously, "My lord, our family's merchant ship has been detained. A pirate named Aheng sent a message asking for the food and the ship, and went to the island of Sharia to face off, and the winner got everything. ”

Lei Ming glanced at the letter, the cold light in his eyes was great, and the fighting spirit was running, and it was shattered. "Inform Sayles, prepare the ship, and Viscount Ben will go to sea. ”

"Your Excellency. Lisa's face turned pale and her voice trembled.

Thunder paused, waved his hand, and strode towards the prison of the Viscount's Mansion. At the door, two Shadow Knights appeared and saluted to open the cell door.

The prison was built underground, dark and damp, and there was a stench that could not be concealed, and dozens of pirate officers were all held here. Seeing the thunder coming, they hurled insults loudly, and some even spat through the characteristic railing.

"Bastard boy, you have the ability to let me out, Lao Tzu will tear you apart. “

"Zazhong, you can't die well, it's best to lock up Lao Tzu for the rest of your life. Otherwise, the master will go out and kill your whole family. ”

Lei Ming frowned and said, "Release them all." ”

Looking at the open iron gate, dozens of pirates were stunned for a moment, quickly rushed out, and laughed loudly: "Idiot, do you really think that if you release Lao Tzu, you will be spared?"

More than a dozen pairs of powerful fists brought out a gust of wind, smashed on the transparent douqi hood, and were shocked back. The attacking pirate couldn't help but take a few steps back, and the colors of resentment and fear on his face changed in shock, "Fighting Spirit, Earth Knight, how old are you?"

The pirate stopped when he heard the sound, shuddered, found the door of the cell, turned and ran.

"Want to run?" Lei Ming smiled disdainfully, drew his long sword, and walked quickly to meet it. The pace grew faster and faster, gradually forming a string of phantoms. The figure flickered left and right, flashing in a zigzag shape. The sword swinged, each taking a pirate life.

Figures passed by, leaving corpses scattered all over the place.

The screams disappeared, and Thunder shook his right hand vigorously, shaking the blood from the long sword, inserting it back into the scabbard, and striding out of the cell.
