Chapter 204: The Old Mayor (Two Chapters in One)

East of Fallon, Grocery Guild.

In fact, the retail industry of grocery stores does not need guilds, and their purchase channels directly manage them, but the world is difficult to make money, and the citizens who have been baptized by the Black Death have given birth to the courage to confront the gangs, and the gangs in the city have considered another means to make a living, so after the merchant guild divided into nine guilds, a grocery guild came.

This is pure prying, and for this there is a war between gangs and gangs, gangs and guilds.

That's right, it's a war, but on a smaller scale, equivalent to a village chief's fight.

Because of their business relationship with the support of the council's treasurer, the Rats got a charter when the fight was not decided, and became the only victor after the arrival of the new governor, but in fact they established a grocery guild, and its sphere of influence is still in the east of the city, and other places do not buy it.

"Although the guild is in hand, but your survival will be more difficult in the future, the guilds are very dissatisfied with this matter, the new governor has a great deal of rectification of Farlon, it is estimated that after going to the church to talk, he will attack the gangs in the city."

"We're going to be the first?"

"Chances are, we've put pressure on the merchants' guilds, but they're not buying it, and the sheriff will be unwilling, and the new governor will be the executor of Farlon."

"We've usually done a lot of things for adults, so please help me!"

"I know, otherwise I wouldn't be here today."

"What are we going to do?"

"Take a large sum of money and give it to the court and let them help."

"Isn't the court a member of the church?"

"Now that the church is being ordered, it will definitely not dare to do things at this juncture, and it is the same for the court."

"So that you can veto the Governor's proposal?"

"Of course not, there are other representatives in the six-member council, and the chaos has already made many people dissatisfied, but the consent of the two councillors can be exchanged for other conditions, such as excluding the miscellaneous goods guild that has been reformed from the target of the purge."

"I see, I'll try to prepare."

"Act quickly, and the new governor will have things on the agenda when he comes back from the church."

This was the conversation of the Squirrel Gang yesterday when they met the tax collectors, and he was sitting in the hall of the guild, the smell of red wine and roses permeating the entire guild building, and some of the tax collectors who stayed there were snoring rudely upstairs.

But none of this affected his expression.

As the leader of the Shuo Rat Gang, one of the four major gangs in Farlon, he felt a little flustered at this time, because the leader of the gang and the twenty elite gangs sent out last night did not return.

"Helper, should we go and see?" The gang around him asked.

"Gather all the people and follow me to the tavern!" The helper nodded, it's dawn, and it's not the same thing to wait like this.

When the gang heard this, they immediately went upstairs to summon their companions, and the others also went to open the door to call the outside gang back, but as soon as the gang opened the door, they saw a crossbow arrow flying directly through his head.

"There's a situation to copy the guy!"

The gang leader saw that something was going on and immediately shouted, and in an instant, the gang members in the hall instantly drew their knives and ran to the gang leader to fight in a row, and they waited for the enemy to enter with a sneer, and saw a group of guards in armor rushing in.

"Security Force! What are you going to do! The leader of the Shuo Rat Gang sighed in his heart when he saw the visitor, and then he saw that the other side began to release the crossbow without saying a word.

"Ahh

"Huh!"

"Whew!"

The sound of the trigger pulling was endless, and one after another crossbow arrows were fired at the gang, only to see them in horror trying to find a place to hide, but they all fell to the ground under two faces.

"What are you going to do? Upstairs, there's a tax collector. The leader of the Squirrel Gang, who had also been shot by a crossbow arrow, fell to the ground, covering his wounds and speaking in horror to the guards who approached.

"Can the tax collector take care of the security forces?" The sheriff came over with a crossbow and stepped on the head of the gang leader, "Tell me where your treasury property is, and I'll give you a good treat." ”

"I work for the tax officer." The gang leader, who was almost crushed by the iron boots, said bitterly.

"If he's here, I'll send him down with you, and I'll do something for you later." The sheriff sneered, then kicked him to the side, "Tear off his bones one by one for me until we tell us the storeroom!" ”

With that, the sheriff led the people upstairs, while the other guards walked towards the leader of the Rat Gang with expressionless faces, and then the hall of the grocery guild let out a terrible scream.

At this time, at the door of the tavern, the waiter who had crawled all night had no one to help and no one to take care of, and when the corpse collector threw him into the carriage, he was woken up, and when he opened his eyes and looked at the corpses of the plague on the left and right, he was startled, and he climbed out of the carriage.

"Don't you see if you're out of breath when you throw people!" The waiter pointed to the two corpse collectors who were ready to push the cart and scolded.

"Say it again, I'm keeping you out of breath right now." Hearing this, the corpse collector turned around and glanced coldly at the waiter, and then pushed the corpse collection cart away.

The back of the waiter's neck was only felt a cold sweat, you must know that these guys from the coolie union in the west of the city are crazy, he looked at the sun in the sky, rubbed his head with a faint pain, instantly remembered what happened last night, and hurriedly ran to the tavern.

"I don't know what these guys have made the tavern like!" The waiter staggered up the stairs, then down the corridor to the house where the two men had been arranged, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he saw a guy standing in front of him with his neck tilted back.

"Ahh The waiter screamed in fright and took two steps back, then looked carefully at the man sitting on the edge of the bed, and asked in shock, "You killed someone!" ”

"Bang!" The man was crumpled into a meatloaf, and the human form was distorted so that the waiter sat down on the ground silently.

"These are just rotten steaks." As he spoke, he picked up a clay pot and opened it and poured the liquid on the meatloaf, only to see the meatloaf melt rapidly.

"Kiyosato is clean now."

The messenger almost fainted as he watched the meatloaf in front of him corrode rapidly, but it took him a while to recover and say in fear, "You are a heretic! ”

"How so? This one? He shook the clay pot in his hand back, "They gave it." ”

When the waiter heard this, he turned his head and saw several rows of people standing neatly in the corner of the narrow room under the flickering candlelight.

"Kill the leader, the gang leader won't let you go." In the candlelight, a slightly recovered helper said.

"What qualifies a scoundrel who intends to rob to say that? All you can say is that your leader deserves to die. Hearing this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stretched out his hand and dragged him over, revealing the reverse pentagram behind him, "I need to do some punishment for robbery, but it's not good to kill too many people, so I gave you this thing, if you make trouble for me in the future, I will send you to church, I believe that their burn at the stake will like you." ”

"What the hell are you doing behind my back?" The gang sensed the shock in the eyes of the waiter on the side, and couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, the fear of the unknown is the most terrifying.

Instead of answering him, he helped him to stand firm, "Your business is over, but your leader has given me such an order, if I don't punish him, I will cause trouble if I don't do it." ”

"What do you want?" The gang asked.

"You can be redeemed, use my methods against him, and then throw him outside, I wonder what the citizens who usually fear it will do to him." "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you." ”

The people got dressed and went downstairs in a trance, every step they took was hard, and the high consumption of mental power was not something that could be replenished this night.

Rust followed them with the package and the waiter, and now that the scrap was falling in the wind, he didn't have to worry about them escaping.

"I'm going with me because I'm worried that someone else will attack, what are you doing with it?" Rust asked, looking at the waiter who had walked out of the tavern with him.

"Didn't I want to ask if you would change rooms?" The waiter smiled slightly, his face was not nervous at all, for fear that they would be worried that they would leak their secrets and get themselves an inverse pentagram on their backs.

"Let's get another one, there are no windows and no candles." Rust said.

"No problem, huh?" The waiter, who was replying, suddenly saw a group of guards riding horses rushing towards this side in the distance, and vaguely saw that there was something tethered behind the war horse.

"Come inside!" The waiter was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly beckoned Rust and Tuse, and when they saw that he was anxiously running back without wasting any time, they turned around and went into the tavern.

"It should have something to do with your cargo." The waiter frowned and said, "The one they are dragging behind their horses is the leader of the Squirrel Gang!" ”

"Oh." Hearing this, he nodded, and heard the gang leader outside the tavern who was entrusted like a broken sack and shouted deadly, "Didn't you say that you told the gang treasury to let me go!" ”

Seeing the excitement with an indifferent expression, the waiter couldn't help but remind, "Why don't you run through the back door of the tavern, although the tavern is the mayor's property, and they are a faction, but the mayor who goes down may not be able to suppress the sheriff in place." ”

"You old mayor is good, and you still manage the property of the shopkeepers." Hearing this, he smiled.

"That is, the mayor is a good person, and he is only dragged down by the Faron family, and he still has the ability." The waiter hinted.

Hearing this, he shook his head slightly, and then saw the guards outside beating the gang leader, and the gang members who were standing there were all motionless, and then they were knocked down by the guards.

"What's going on?" The sheriff looked at the staggering gang and said in surprise, originally he thought that these gang members were afraid of the security team and did not dare to save their gang leader, but this touch and fall appearance, I am afraid it is poisoning, right?

No one could answer the sheriff's question, and the sheriff kicked the gang and questioned them, only to find that they could not even speak.

"When the big market opens, pull the market and sell it." The sheriff ordered the guards to tie them up, and then led the two guards into the tavern.

"You're a traveling merchant from outside?" The sheriff came in and went to the table where they were, and smashed his helmet directly on the table, "I look like a robber!" ”

"We are all the lords of Farlon, and we have been farming for the Ram knights for generations, and there should be people in the city who are flat leaf leaders, and they can prove it." Rust said aloud, then took out a large handful of cutlery from the package and put it on the table, "I was going to go to the sheriff's office to pay the taxes, but I was stopped by a trivial matter, and the sheriff came at the right time." ”

"Good cutlery, this pattern is Cord's craft, are you stealing it?" The sheriff picked up a spoon and looked at it and asked, the voice loud as questioning.

"How can a thief steal so many tableware, he will die of exhaustion." Hearing this, Rust took out a large handful of utensils, "This is all what we exchanged for food." ”

"In exchange for grain?" The sheriff sneered, "You guys are really generous, our security team doesn't have much food!" ”

"It's what we citizens should do to contribute to the vigilantes." Rust took out another handful and handed it to the sheriff, "Please accept our heart." ”

"Is it just a little bit of heart?" The sheriff asked, impatiently, his hand already touching the sword.

Seeing this, Rust frowned and looked at Masser.

"Whoa~" Dusty divided half of the remaining tableware in the cloak and put it on the table, counting that it was only a small half.

"We are merchants, so we know the rules, Mr. Sheriff, do you think this is enough?" He asked with a smile as he looked at the sheriff.

"You're following some rules, but." The sheriff still sneered, "I want them all." ”

"Then I can only choose to go to the court to apply for a duel, after all, my goods have been taxed, and taking them all is equivalent to driving me to a dead end." Hearing this, he still smiled, "Of course kill me, everything is yours." ”

"You want to duel me?" The sheriff laughed, and the guards behind him laughed with him, and then the sheriff drew his sword with a smile, and then his eyes were indifferent and he was about to slash at him.

"Crunch~" The door of the tavern opened, and a middle-aged man with a mustache and a feather hat walked in, the voice alarmed the sheriff, he turned his head to look, and then an embarrassed smile appeared on his face, "Lord Mayor." ”

"I'm down and just want to run my own brewery and pub in peace." The man walked over and looked at the sheriff and said, "But the sheriff is very busy, and he actually got rid of the scourge of the rat gang for the city." ”

"This has nothing to do with the new governor, the rat is greedy for my goods." The commander's face changed when he heard this, "I'm on official business, so I won't bother." ”

The commander turned around and left, and the guards behind him hurriedly stepped forward to clean up the dishes, and when he reached for the half of the cloak, he put the cloak back directly.

The guard's hand flickered, and he glared into the eyes of the man, but the latter did not see it.

"What are you doing here? I didn't see you so diligent when I was in charge. The old mayor smiled at the guard, who turned around in fright and ran.

"Go get three glasses of wine, and don't let people in." The old mayor looked at the departing guards and instructed the waiter, and then sat down in front of him.

"Thank you for your help." He looked at the old mayor who was sitting across from him and said.

"You're welcome, if there's anything else you need help with in Farlon, you can tell me." The old mayor looked at him sincerely, "Including power and status, money and even titles." ”
