CCXXV. Poison Strategy
Inside Taylor's office.
There is no doubt that the helmsmen of the Twins and the Skull and Bones Society, of course, understand that Doulinger and the people who talk about it, including Taylor, cannot be unconcerned about the Black Sails.
The protection fee was a shot in the arm for all the pirates below, and it was not entirely a tool for his family, but also a soup to drink, and he could levy taxes on the asylum seekers, as long as it was not too excessive.
It's the equivalent of taking out the cake and giving it to everyone to eat.
But Li Si and Qi Li broke the rules and divided the two of them between what Doulinger had given.
It's like the company's team building, the big boss gave a lot of money to enhance the subjective initiative of the employees, but Li Site was not a person and gave the money away.
That's the reason.
According to common sense, the big boss must be held accountable, but it is another way of saying it, but it is his ability to eat Li Site, but for the sake of fairness, it is better to compete, whoever has higher performance indicators will give the money to whom.
Although I don't know what agreement Li Si Te has with these bigwigs, he can only suppress it for a period of time if he is angry.
And now that the March date has arrived, welcome the return of the Skull Twins.
Come to Taylor and ask for a word.
On the surface, it is said that the performance, but it can also be sent directly to the golden dragon.
The Twin Regiments and the Skeletons will have different business groups, although the merchant ships are also robbing, but the local business is also expanding, and the Skeletons will supply the hallucinogens wholesale to the entire eastern part of the Western Continent, and the cost is also a lot.
"I don't know how much Li Si Ter can take, this is a little bit of my heart, and it can be regarded as a New Year's gift to Lord Taylor."
Jeremy, the boss of the Skull Society, with his hair tied into braids and heavy bags under his eyes, asked his men to take out a wooden box and open it.
It was full of bright golden dragons, no less than 300 pieces, and the brothers of the twin groups also offered gifts, which were also more than 200 pieces.
This is already a lot, it is a big deal, and seeing that the plate is getting bigger and bigger, I have to take it down even if I say anything.
"I don't know how much Lister can take out."
Jeremy's meaning is also obvious, if it drags on a little longer, the people on the island have become accustomed to low-cost protection fees, and List's position will be unshakable, and he must cut through the mess quickly before the New World is officially explored.
However, Taylor's silent attitude was a blow to the two.
You came out with the money, and you also took a large piece of meat from your body, this level is not enough to disrupt the game, not that the two of them are not powerful, now the chessboard on the island can no longer accommodate small fights, and a terrifying storm is brewing.
"You still have to keep the money yourself, but you can also ask the other two what they mean."
Taylor said it tactfully, but already took a stand.
Jeremy and the brother of the twins were angry but didn't dare to speak, Taylor was determined to stand on Lister, I don't know what curse the man put on him, maybe he came up with the idea of speaking based on performance.
"We get it."
Jeremy buckled the box and got up, adding, "I still wish Lord Taylor a good New Year's career, let's go." ”
Two minutes later.
The visitor has left Taylor's estate.
Taylor took out an invitation from the drawer, none other than someone Doulinger had sent it.
The invitations are gorgeous, and the engraved font is even gilded.
Jean Taylor went to the castle for a banquet on January 2, which was in the nature of a private banquet, and not only the top three, but also representatives of various gold mining companies and trading companies would also be present.
For the sake of huge profits, these representatives, of course, will not go back for the New Year.
The reason why it is set on January 2 is also because of the customs, and it is taboo to invite outsiders to a banquet on the first day of the new year, unless the relationship is very iron.
"How many years have you been?"
Taylor asked his daughter.
"It's 1293."
Tennie helped him tidy up the bookcase, it was completely pretty, he had never seen it, and the cover was full of dust.
"It's not a good thing for Syria to stay for a long time, I asked about the Gregorian calendar, which is universal."
"The Holy Spirit Calendar, 2690 years."
Tynie replied calmly.
"It's really inauspicious, I heard an astrologer say that there is a great catastrophe every nine hundred years, and I don't know if it's true or not, the Holy Congregational Church that used to be infinitely beautiful......"
"For the New Year, can you not mention those obscure names."
Tynie rebelliously teaches her father a lesson.
"What you're talking about, what's going on with List?"
"Not much."
"It's still up to you, I don't force it, that kid was just a second-rate pirate before, but now the situation is a little different."
Taylor was also undecided, touching Tynie's hair, Li Shi is indeed rich, but he is not the kind of person who can calm down and do business, there must be a follow-up to rob the train, now he is more dangerous than ever, he will get out of control at any time, Doulinger must also know that Li Shi brought out the mixed river dragon, counting the seniority, Henid is still Doulinger's senior.
Or look at the meaning of No. 2 Doulinger, maybe it's a good idea to stay away from List.
Fuck, this kid hasn't come to breathe yet, it's a little anxious.
And outside the manor.
Jeremy's face was gloomy as water, it was a time when there were unprecedented changes in the Heavenly Port, and he couldn't get along if he didn't find a big guy as a backer.
But you can't just sit still.
The Skull and Bones Society can give up three months, but not years, or even ten years.
Now, his face has been completely torn, and he has to use means.
Jeremy called one of his men and pressed his hand to his head.
"Did you reply to the question I asked you to inquire?"
"I didn't find Li's family, and I didn't have any household registration information, maybe he was born in a war-torn country, and only a small country in the southern continent has information about his marriage registration with a woman."
"It's strange that this man seems to have only lived seven years. Since he couldn't find a blood relative, he had to do something to the people around him, that vampire. ”
Jeremy lights a homemade cigarette, which, unlike regular tobacco, contains some sort of mulberry plant.
"Boss, are you sure?"
Although the vampire doesn't show up much, everyone knows that the castle in the east of the inner city was the emperor's crusade to the east, and the family of a general's army, that is, where the general's wife lived, after Doulinger ruled here, it became his property, and later resold to a big man who came to take refuge. But the vampire didn't buy it from anyone, but the dove took over the magpie's nest, killed the original owner, and lived in it himself, for many years.
It's not a small role, it's a detour that I have to take when I meet it.
"There is a weakness in everything."
Jeremy rummaged through his coat pocket and pulled out a rather shiny stone, the size of a fingernail that shook so much that one couldn't open one's eyes, it was a strange magic stone called the Sun Stone.
"Of course one doesn't work, that vampire seems to be a daywalker, a high-level blood clan, a friend of mine recently sent me a lot of these things, dozens of them, just in handy."
Jeremy already has an idea, and the best time to do it is now.
Killing people with a knife is a taboo for pirates.
Jeremy also can't fully mobilize his men.
For the sake of family affairs, it is still the New Year, and when it takes up the day, the chance of all-round fire is a little smaller, and Jeremy also feels hanging, just using the vampire to lure Li Ste alone, and chop it up.
Under the civil strife in Black Sails, it is naturally impossible to pose a threat.
"Take advantage of the vampire's lone outlet, but it's best to trick the warlock on the ship into a magic circle and lure Li Shi over and kill him."
