Chapter 237: One Falls, One Hits the Street!
(In the process of being blocked, ask for all kinds of support!Panda sells meat, it's not illegal to eat it!)
"Big event! Big event!"
A mid-range restaurant in the imperial capital.
A thin man dressed in civilian clothes, but with good materials, rushed into the lobby and shouted directly at his friends who had been waiting for him at a table next to him for a long time, without a trace of lateness.
"What a big event! Look at the one who excites you, plug in your tail, and it will become a cockfight!"
Looking at the thin man with an excited face, a group of friends joked one after another.
"Damn, are you guys deaf? You guys didn't even know that something so big had happened?"
This was joked, and the thin man was immediately shocked, he thought that all his friends should already know, but he didn't expect that these guys were still in the dark.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, in the imperial capital, how powerful things are!"
Seeing the fuss on the thin man's face, someone immediately stood up and began to despise him.
"How big can it be?"
The thin man glanced at the man with disdain, narrowed his eyes and squeezed over.
Then, like that, he picked up a glass full of wine and slammed it on the table, spitting out a shocking message.
"Then let me ask you, Duke Longteng was seriously injured in a duel with people, and not only lost the dragon, but also lost 300,000 gold coins, is this big enough?"
"What ???"
The thin man's words instantly stunned everyone.
Even, even the attention of the nearby tables was attracted by the shouting of the thin man, and they became silent.
"Not only that, but the piles of the whole duel, General Eisenhower, the director of the Imperial Inspectorate, and Sa Beining, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, have been saddled with millions of gold in gambling debts because of the defeat of Duke Longteng, and they can't even afford to drink porridge. You say, 'Is this a big deal?'
Domineeringly, he glanced at the stunned friends and thin man's eyes full of satisfaction, as if he was the main character.
"God, who is so bullish and has the ability to make these three big guys look like this?"
After a long time, someone took a breath and asked on behalf of everyone.
"The flag envoy of the independent regiment, the fiancé of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Ye Chun!"
Heavyly, the thin man spat out the name that had been nailed to his heart like a nail.
However, what was obtained was a collective confusion for everyone present.
"Who is this! I haven't heard of it!"
"Haven't heard of it?"
The thin man is furious!
"You pigs, do your ears be used for eating? Okay! I know that Foster and Long Ge are not, let me tell you, the person who was said to have seriously injured Foster and Long Ge was the flag envoy of the Independent Regiment and the fiancé of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lord Ye Chun! Moreover, I also heard that the full mouth of teeth of General Eisenhower's baby daughter Freya was also fanned out by this Lord Ye Chun!"
"I have heard of the sister of a friend of my aunt's brother, who was a maid on the bow of General Eisenhower, and I have seen with my own eyes the scene of Miss Freya, the precious daughter of General Eisenhower, throwing something and scolding her for injuring her. That's right, the name is Ye Chun!"
As soon as the thin man mentioned General Eisenhower's precious daughter, a fat man who was still well-dressed immediately stood up and began to testify as if he had seen him.
"But how can he beat Duke Longteng? You know, Duke Longteng is the most powerful dragon knight in the empire except for the great head!"
A voice that did not belong to their circle came, and everyone looked back, only to realize that it was a drinker at the table.
"Dragon Knight?"
Hearing the drinker's question, the thin man smiled disdainfully. ...,
"Shit Dragon Knight, do you know how Lord Ye Chun won? Let me tell you, Lord Ye Chun has defeated Duke Longteng without even moving his hand from beginning to end!"
"This ...... How is this possible???"
Not only the drinker, but also the people at the nearby tables who were attracted by this topic were also stunned.
Without making a move, he defeated the Dragon Knight!
This is also a bit too exaggerated.
However, the sound of the thin man's voice was unequivocal.
"How is it impossible? Why is it impossible? Lord Ye Chun took out the 'Golden Dragon Scales' of McOothy, the king of the Dragon Clan, during the duel, and directly scared Duke Longteng's mount Dragon, and the dragon didn't even have the courage to confront Lord Ye Chun, so he directly and obediently took the initiative to break off the dragon knight contract with Duke Longteng, and was handed over by Lord Ye Chun to Her Royal Highness the Princess to make a huge thing!"
"Then how did Duke Longteng get injured, didn't you just say that Duke Longteng was seriously injured?"
In the distance, a voice came, and the thin man turned his head to look, only to find that it was a table of drinkers farther away.
And when he swept his gaze, he found that everyone in the entire hall had stopped and was listening intently to his own big gossip.
In this way, the thin man became even more excited.
He has never received such attention since he was born.
Today, with the light of that Lord Ye Chun, one of his wishes has been fulfilled.
"Duke Longteng was indeed seriously injured, but it was not Lord Ye Chun who hurt him, or Lord Ye Chun had already disdained to hurt him at that time. What really hurt Duke Longteng was his sitting dragon, what happened, how could we weak people know, anyway, it's true that Duke Longteng was seriously injured, I heard that he was carried away in the end, and he vomited a whole basin of blood!"
"Then what happened to General Eisenhower and the defeated minister Sa Beining owing millions of gambling debts? It stands to reason that Duke Longteng lost, they should have made a lot of money, how could they owe so much money?"
The man continued to ask.
"I heard that before the duel began, several people placed heavy bets on Lord Ye Chun, and each one exceeded 100,000 gold coins. I heard that the largest of them was even as much as 500,000 gold coins.
At that time, Ye Chunda's final odds were one to ten, and as soon as these bets were doubled, they became nearly 10 million, counting General Eisenhower and the defeated minister Sa Beining, with Duke Longteng's part of the gambling money to support, but three or five million would be good, how could he plug the hole of the 10 million gold coins. I heard that in order to pay off their gambling debts, almost all the properties they could sell were sold. That's not enough!"
The thin man's narration made everyone present collectively exhale a cold breath.
Gambling debts of millions of gold coins.
It is estimated that top tycoons such as Eisenhower and the Chancellor of the Exchequer will have to drink porridge collectively as a family.
In a way, they were so miserable that they were about to catch up with Duke Longteng.
"There is no doubt that this is the end of an era! The next era is probably going to belong to this Lord Ye Chun!"
I don't know who suddenly interjected such a sentence.
In exchange, it was the collective nodding and approval of more than 100 people present.
Sitting alone in the corner by the window, with only two simple side dishes and a pot of sake at hand, Ye Chun listened to the discussion that had exploded in the lobby, and a wry smile rose on his face.
The plot told by the thin man in front of him was still a little popular, but after the discussion began later, it was completely out of shape.
All sorts of speculation and gossip sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, stuffing into his ears like goose feathers.
At this time, it was more than three days before the day of the duel with the Duke of Longteng.
In the past three days, Ye Chun did not accompany the tube and the tip, but chose to wander around the imperial capital alone, as if he was a tourist. ...,
Not to mention, almost everywhere you go, you will hear discussions like the one just now, and all kinds of 'truths,'.
Why do you actually have a leg with the county lord of Liqing!
Why did you hurt Long Ge because of your horizontal knife love!
What else is ambitious, after using the Liqing County Lord, he will directly kick it away, and then climb the princess, trying to obtain the inheritance of the empire!
And so on and so forth......
Hearing this, Ye Chun felt both ridiculous and painful......
Obviously, the imagination of the broad masses of the people is unlimited, and on the basis of the lack of truth in facts, they can construct N complete complexes that are more truthful than the truth in a matter of minutes.
Fortunately, Ye Chun is relatively lucky, and the rumors are not too far from the truth.
At least the main complexes are still more 'respectful of the original,.。
This made Ye Chun very pleased.
The discussion in the lobby continued, and the hot lot seemed to be holding an exchange meeting.
However, Ye Chun didn't plan to continue listening.
He had almost heard all of his legends now, and he had a number in his mind.
Called the guy to settle the account, Ye Chun got up and left.
And when he passed by the thin man who was still talking about something, he couldn't help but be stunned.
It wasn't until Ye Chun stepped out of the door that the thin man came to his senses again.
"Hey, what are you doing in a daze? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time, who is the person you have been staring at just now?"
"It's really like, he is really similar to that Lord Ye Chun! However, it can't be Lord Ye Chun, how could Lord Ye Chun appear in such a place. Yes, it must just be a similar person, that's it!"
Shaking his head fiercely, the thin man smiled apologetically at his friends beside him, and then threw himself into the passionate gossip, which made the whole scene more and more hot.
Ten days later.
Once again, a major event that can be called an earthquake occurred in the entire imperial capital.
Early in the morning, the Great Führer suddenly announced that Duke Longteng had been relieved of his post as the first deputy commander of the 18th Group Army on the grounds that Duke Longteng had not recovered from his serious injuries and needed to recuperate.
At the same time, for similar reasons, he erased Eisenhower's title of second deputy commander-in-chief, and retained only his post as director of the Imperial Inspectorate.
As soon as this move came out, it was almost like a bombshell, instantly blowing up the entire court, which was originally a calm lake, with a wave of water overflowing.
Although the Great Führer found a good reason and his tone was very gentle, a discerning person could not see that the Grand Führer was unhappy with the duel incident in which the Big Three participated a few days ago.
Duke Longteng was seriously injured and lost the dragon, and he was no longer a dragon knight, and his own strength was even lower from the middle-level 'Wuzun to the peak' upper powerhouse.
It is no exaggeration to say that Duke Longteng is finished.
Over the years, Duke Longteng has relied on his status as an imperial marshal and a dragon knight, how strong he is.
Even the Great Führer, in certain matters, has to take into account his views and attitudes.
Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, this is a manifestation of extreme grace.
But if you think about it the other way around, Duke Longteng's performance is not trampling on the power of the great head
Now his strength has regressed, and he is no longer a dragon knight.
Then he is like an antique vase that has been beaten and torn apart, and has become worthless or worthless.
If it weren't for the fact that Duke Longteng was an old courtier, known as a prestige in the army, and he was still a 'high-ranking powerhouse', the Grand Fuhrer might even reluctantly remove his title of marshal and directly let him go back to retire.
As for Eisenhower, he was a little luckier than Duke Longten・・・・・・
But it's only a few lucky .........,
That's all!
What he had lost and lost was, in some ways, even a lot more than the Duke of Longteng.
The only thing he was luckier than Duke Longteng was that he was able to sit in this position today, largely not because of his own strength.
Duke Longteng lost the sitting dragon and lost the strength of the 'martial honor, and most of its value was naturally removed.
But he Eisenhower, the upper position is not based on these.
Therefore, in terms of political future, it is naturally better than Duke Longteng.
The only thing that made him want to vomit blood was the erasure of the title of deputy commander of the 18th Army and the fact that he was burdened with at least two million gold coins in gambling debts.
To tell the truth, the gold content of the post of second deputy commander of the 18th Group Army is still very high
He, Eisenhower, hung this position, he really had military power, plus the title of director of the Imperial Inspectorate, the actual power in his hands, it was even greater than the Duke of Longteng.
However, because of the duel ten days ago, his good days have finally come to an end.
With a single sentence, the Grand Führer directly stripped him of his title of deputy commander-in-chief, leaving him completely out of the army and becoming a civilian official without a gun in his hand.
The days of seeing who was unhappy before and directly transferring the army to arrest people are going to be gone forever.
From then on, if Eisenhower wanted to exercise such power, he had to report to the higher authorities and obtain the consent of the senior military director.
And how could Eisenhower, who was familiar with all the markets of the empire, not know the efficiency of the imperial officials, and after this fall, if he wanted to mobilize the army to do something, he would probably have to put his old face on it.
and the huge gambling debts of as much as two million gold coins, it was like a big mountain, almost overwhelming him.
He has recently sold almost everything he can sell, but he has only sold the place where his family lives now, but he has only raised less than a million gold coins, and he still has half of his gambling debts and does not know how to repay them.
Now they can't afford to have any more servants, no more carriages, and no more meat.
Three meals a day, gruel in the morning, gruel at noon, and ・・・・・・ in the evening
At night they go to bed early and can directly save a meal.
All right!
This is actually more of a deliberate state on the part of Eisenhower.
Not Penang, the person who came to ask for debts, absolutely he broke the threshold of their house.
After all, what's that......
People are protected by the law, no?
Besides, there are a few people among them, who even he doesn't want to provoke.
Every time at this time, he was a little envious of Duke Longteng, who had lost his political future.
Although the political future of the people is gone, and they have changed from the deputy commander of the dragon knight to the 'three fat men', but at least because of the liquidated damages, not only did they not lose money, but they also gained 200,000 gold coins.
The remaining fifty years of the contract, 10,000 gold coins a year, is a full 500,000 gold coins.
Removing the 300,000 gold coins he lost, Duke Longteng also earned 200,000 gold coins, and his food and clothing are worry-free.
But on the other hand, he still has a political future, but now he is living like a poor beggar.
No!
It's not even as good as a poor B beggar!
At least, a poor B beggar will not be chased for debts every day.
Nima!
I'm going to sell my daughter!
All right!
That's what Eisenhower is planning right now.
And seeing that the two previous bigwigs fell one after another, and the other hit the street, Chancellor of the Exchequer Sa Beining really made a sweat like rain.
He thought that he was going to be finished, and he was even prepared to faint for this.
But everything is impermanent, and when he got to him, the great head of state didn't even mention a word, and went straight over. ...,
It's a shattered glass・・・・・・
You know, Sa Beining's colleagues, but many of them are looking at the position under his ass and drooling.
But until the end, Chancellor of the Exchequer Sa Beining was not affected, and he still sat in his position as Chancellor of the Exchequer in fear, and continued to be stared at by a group of colleagues.
Everyone was speculating about the truth that Chancellor of the Exchequer Sa Beining was not punished, but everyone was ultimately confused and did not succeed.
Only one person, who had not been mentioned from beginning to end, got the answer from the Grand Führer.
This person・・・・・・
That is the 'mastermind' who personally created this series of incidents, ・・・・・・ Ye Chun, the head of the regiment!
"Chancellor Sa Beining has always been a man of songs, and you have even suppressed Duke Longteng and Eisenhower, so you can take this opportunity to pull out this nail and balance the forces of all sides, but you let him go. I don't understand, it seems, you don't have to let him go. ”
Sitting in a secret room on the ground floor of the palace, Ye Chun frowned and asked the head of state sitting opposite while drinking tea,
Seriously, this question has also troubled Ye Chun for a long time, and he has not thought of an answer to this day.
"I have no reason to let him go, why don't I have a reason to let him go? In fact, I am the one who has the most reason to let him go!"
Hearing Ye Chun's question, the Great Führer actually laughed heartily.
It felt like winning a $5 million lottery.
"Why?"
Ye Chun continued to ask.
"Isn't it always rumored outside that there is a person who pressed a large sum of money to buy you to win before the deadline for betting?"
Glancing at Ye Chun, the Grand Führer stopped laughing and smiled and prompted.
There are some things that need not be said with the wisdom of two people.
"It turns out that the person who bought me for 500,000 gold coins to win is your !!"
Shaking his head, Ye Chun finally knew why Da Yuan wanted to keep Sa Beining in the first place.
In other words, if Sa Beining is also driven down, then the more than one million gold coins he owes to the head of state are estimated to be repaid in this life!
Keeping him in that position, he can still pick some money out of the big guys' teeth...... Debt!
