When the lord's patrol party returned to Dorman City in the setting sun, the soldiers defending the city saw the shocking scene, and a hundred men returned with two hundred.

And Ryan, their lord, calmly and confidently, with a smile on his face, waved to Alan and the others who were waiting to greet him, and for a while, the smiles of the soldiers and the crowd were in stark contrast to the dodge of those with ghosts in their hearts!

Alan and Delai glanced at each other, both breathing a sigh of relief, this time it was a dangerous move, but fortunately, Ryan successfully returned.

After Ryan entered the city, Hans, the city defense officer, received an order to secretly seal off the entire Dorman City, and for a while, a strange atmosphere began to spread.

At this time, all the people with bad intentions panicked in their hearts, and their fear was growing day by day, and they didn't understand why the knights who had been secretly cultivated several times the number of people were so easily defeated by the other party.

Amisha no longer has the composure and calmness she used to have, and after capturing so many people, there will always be some soft bones who will confide the truth of the matter, and this time, it may really be a catastrophe......

Sure enough, soon her fears became reality, and that night, the three newly formed brigades of the "Tuntian Army" and the unreorganized militia battalion arrested the participants of the assassination in turn according to the list under the leadership of Allen.

The army was cleared by Allen before setting off, and more than a dozen officers were captured, including the city gate officer on duty.

The team was divided into more than a dozen teams, led by Allen's henchmen in the army, and pounced in all directions like wolves, and the prisoners he brought back were also urgently sent to the prison for interrogation, in order to dig up more people.

Colin and his soldiers hurried to a somewhat ornate mansion, which was the residence of a chief of the government department, and the map of the inspection was revealed by him.

They were not surprised to be resisted, but according to Ryan's orders, those who resisted were killed!

……

Ryan stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the town that had been shrouded in darkness, the sporadic firelight shuttling around, and he knew what they represented.

He likes to stand here because it has a panoramic view of the small half of Manchester City, and some wind and grass can't escape his eyes.

There will be no peace in the city tonight, Ryan has decided to eradicate these tumors in the city, and some of the merchants and traitors involved in this matter will be sent to the gallows by him.

The reason why it is partly because Ryan does not want to expand the matter, many small businessmen are not worried, and it is natural to be honest to scare them, a bunch of soft bones.

Mainly those merchants with strength, to take advantage of this opportunity to uproot them, the temporary turmoil is certain, but it will not last forever.

Because he still has a key chess piece - Canon, the vacancy left by the liquidation merchant is naturally filled by the merchant on his side.

They don't mind expanding their base, dividing some of them themselves, and supporting a few puppets to balance him, so that the loss of this incident can be minimized!

Dorman City stayed up all night, with dozens of people arrested by soldiers last night and thrown into prison. There were also more than a dozen people who were directly killed, and all of them were stubbornly resistant.

Many of the people were so frightened that they hid in the house with trepidation, and did not look out until they had not moved for a long time......

In the castle, after listening to the battle report handed over by Allen, Ryan stared at the three people in front of him with a smile, taking in their expressions, well, very exciting.

These three people are the three major merchants, among which Canon's expression is the most relaxed, and there is still some snickering joy and secret refreshment in his heart, after all, he is also involved in the whole process, and the list of relevant merchants is handed over by him.

The two enemies who originally excluded or even wanted to get rid of themselves have now become prisoners of the lord, and they have to lose their skin even if they don't die this time!

Amesa and Mirsa sat in silence, knowing that they had lost completely.

"Your handiwork is not small, but unfortunately, it is me who has met. You should be glad that you have a lot of money, otherwise you would not be here at this moment, but in a prison or even a gallows. ”

Ryan's fingers tapped on the table irregularly, his expression full of sarcasm.

"Your Excellency, I know you won't do anything to us, and you don't have to waste time, how do you say you can uncover this matter?"

Mirsa no longer had the look he used to have, and his tone was full of powerlessness.

Ryan smiled, although these people were not looking for a good thug, but their brains were still fine, and they knew that they would not kill them.

Glancing at Canon on the side, the latter suddenly understood that this was handing the meat cleaver to his hand, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will make them pay the price of heartache for their ignorance and arrogance."

Canon smiled and saluted Ryan, and then began to cut the flesh of the two families.

As their old rival, not to mention knowing each other 100%, at least he knows a rough idea, so he is unusually steady, accurate, and ruthless!

And I accurately understood what Ryan meant, there are many core industries of the two of them, but some of them cannot be controlled by them, such as grain and salt!

These two items were directly taken over by the lord and formed a monopoly collection.

Then there are a number of industries that have been dismembered by Canon, spit out most of the benefits, although the overall volume of the two of them is still very large, but there is no monopoly advantage, and the threat to Ryan is much smaller.

After negotiating with Canon, the two of them were obviously a lot haggard again, and this time they were not hurting their muscles and bones, but hurting their foundations.

But they can't help it, assassinating the lord is a crime to kill the whole family, if they don't agree to the greedy lord's conditions, they believe that the other party will really eradicate them completely.

Although that would cause great damage to the territory, with Canon here, it was only a matter of time before he could solve it......

A few days later, the arrested merchants were tried in public in front of a large number of lords, and then all were hanged, and the minor characters who participated but were not arrested were given the best vantage points to watch.

They were so frightened that some of them even became incontinent on the spot, and from then on they were afraid of Ryan like a tiger and wolf, and they no longer dared to think about it.

Canon and his merchants laughed, and although most of the profits left by these people were collected by the lords, the rest of them were all in their mouths.

Among them, Canon made the biggest profit and became the richest merchant in Kanna, but before he could be happy, the two characters he didn't care much about before actually quietly won the part of the benefits obtained by the lord and became an existence that competed with him.

Then the eyes and ears he planted also lost contact, and the information revealed in them suddenly poured him cold on his heart like a basin of cold water.

It's a warning, and it's a means for Ryan to balance him above board......

"Will this move be too big, all aspects of the city have been affected a lot, although someone has taken over, but the recovery is not so fast after all."

Delai sat across from Ryan, chatting as they sipped on Joel's pastry.

"I've tried to be as restrained as I can, and the labor pains will soon pass, nothing compared to what we've got."

Taking a pleasant sip of the syrup made from green sugar, Ryan smiled.

This harvest is not small, although most of it was thrown out as a bargaining chip to balance the canon, but the grain and salt have been collected and monopolized, plus their own sugar mill.

The benefits and discourse rights that these will bring to him in the future are difficult to add.

"Yes. By the way, Hervian's ability is obvious to everyone, and he has completed the task well in this time, I wonder if I can let him take my place? ”

Delai nodded approvingly, and then brought up his resignation.

Don't look at Delai's current power is second only to Ryan, but this is not what he wants, the military is his final destination, it used to be a helpless move to drive ducks to the shelves, and now Hevian has been decapitated, and it is time to change.

Ryan paused when he heard this, he was not surprised by this, and he had already thought about it, so he nodded and said: "I will think about it, but now the territory is in a critical period, it is not appropriate to make major changes, and I will transfer you back to the army next year." ”

His answer made Delai smile, he was finally getting rid of that damn government!

"Let's ...... next"

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the maid Sira came from outside the door: "Master, that elf lady has woken up, and she wants to see you." ”

Ryan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect the other party to finally wake up after being in a coma for so long, it seems that the injury is much more serious than he thought.

"Do you want to come with me to see it?"

Hearing this, Delai smiled and waved his hand, and teased: "I won't bother you and the beautiful elf lady, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

Ryan spread her hands helplessly, and after sending the other party away, she came to the room where Xiyue was recuperating, and at the moment she was half-lying on the soft bed, staring at the ceiling with big round eyes.

She had multiple fractures on her body, and it would take a while for her to stand up and walk.

Seeing Ryan's arrival, Xiyue's gaze instantly shifted to him, and that gaze was extremely complicated.

Thinking of what he had done before, Ryan frowned, walked to her bedside "calmly", and said with a smile: "Miss Elf from a distant country, it's nice to meet you, my name is ......"

Before he could finish his introduction, Xi Yue interrupted him, and said in a crisp voice: "I know who you are, you are the lord here, and you are also the one who takes my bow." ”

"Uh...... I feel compelled to reiterate that instead of taking your bow, you sneaked into the kitchen of my castle to steal food and eventually dropped it. ”

Ryan's face twitched, he had never seen such a wicked person sue first, obviously she stole her own supper, okay?

Xiyue was suddenly a little embarrassed, stealing and eating this kind of thing was indeed against the spirit of adventurers.

"I've helped you twice, what's wrong with a bite to eat?"

Although it is a rebuttal, it seems a little lacking.

"But you also stole my kitchen twice, and we leveled up." Ryan said expressionlessly.

"Hey, you're offsetting, how much is your food worth?" Xiyue was suddenly a little unhappy, and she wanted to settle the two meals, how could it be.

"Hehe, you must know that the sugar you eat is unique to Kana Ling, the production is scarce, and money outside can't buy it, and it's confidential. And you took a large plate with you, and I have already asked her to meet the Lord of Light. ”

Ryan Pi didn't smile, but what he said was in his heart, after all, the green sugar has not been officially sold yet.

Xiyue's eyes widened when she heard this, the few pieces of candy she took away were so precious? That does seem to be a good deal......

"Well, you haven't told me what your name is, what your origin is, I think we can be friends, it's better to be honest." Find a chair and sit down, and look at her quietly.

"Hmph, my name is Xiyue. Chase the wind, the greatest adventurer of the future of the Elven Kingdom. ”

"Miss Xiyue, I'm curious why you, as an elf, appeared in Canna, helped me kill the Evil God Apostle, and was chased by demonic beasts?"

To be honest, these things seemed to be completely unrelated, which made Ryan a little unsure of the other party's intentions.

"It's my secret, why should I tell you?" Xiyue glanced at him and said.

Ryan was suddenly a little unhappy, how can he speak, he is your savior?

"It seems that you don't treat me as a friend, Miss Xiyue, I paid a big price to rescue you back, I thought we would be friends."

Xiyue also felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, this is a fact, after all, the other party saved her life, this is a great kindness, and it is indeed too much for herself to do this.

"I can promise you three things, and I can pay for the treatment, and I will definitely not let you suffer."

Her attitude suddenly softened, and she couldn't repay her life-saving grace, so she could only do this. Don't underestimate the promise of these three things, even if her life is in danger, she will not back down.

As soon as Ryan heard this, the smile on his face became more and more intense, isn't this a big injustice that was properly sent to the door?

"That's fine, don't mention the promise first, for the sake of you helping me, I will only charge you the cost price, eight hundred Jindler."

"Hmph, eight hundred is eight hundred!" Xiyue agreed without hesitation, although the price was very expensive, she knew that it was worth it, that kind of injury could only be healed by the elven clan's water of life in her knowledge.

And she also knew the value of the water of life in the outside world, the price was not expensive, but when she was about to get the money bag, she suddenly remembered that her money had been stolen......

The atmosphere froze a little for a while, and Xiyue looked at Ryan with some embarrassment and said, "I don't have that much on me now, I will definitely send it to you when I get home, I promise you as an elven adventurer." ”

Ryan was not surprised at all, she took off her clothes by herself, and he still didn't know if she had any money?

"Since you don't want to be friends with me, then I can only be your creditor." Ryan muttered to himself, the last one who owed him money is still working day jobs.
