On the left platform, the black-robed old man slowly got up, and the hall was silent.

The Torm merchants generally liked the fine clothes, but the robes worn by this man were quite ordinary, and even a bit like the priestly robes of the gods.

But this does not detract from the prestige of the "Pylomon" family.

The ruler of Omha City, the uncrowned king of the Torm Federation, has been at the top of the hierarchy since the creation of the council, and has never fallen out of the ranks of the top merchants.

"Originally, the purpose of our ancestors to set up the Council was to negotiate and resolve disputes," Pyromon said in a deep voice, "Since you have different opinions, then vote, why bother to speak so quickly?"

Francisco's face turned cold and he shut his mouth in a huff. The "Sea Flower" firm, combined with the Venitez family, was able to control about 30% of the votes in the council, which was far from enough to win the vote. That's why he forced his way out and focused everyone's attention on himself, and then hinted in his words that he would share the benefits in order to win over the power of the neutral faction.

But Gelang and the others will not let him succeed in his conspiracy, and the power of the land merchant lords is already slightly superior, and they can gain the support of most people as long as they find out the stakes.

In this case, the opinion of the Centrist leader, the Pyromon family, is very important. Since he asked for a vote, the other two factions, for the sake of his face, naturally did not speak out against it, so as not to anger him and make it self-defeating.

"Next, the Council will vote on whether it is a crime to send mercenaries to attack the Snowton West Route Army in violation of the Golden Code by the 'Sea Flower' merchant group and the Venitez family......" At this time, the old speaker also duly announced, such a long list of words almost made him angry. But there is no way, at least on the surface, every item on the council must be exhaustive to show procedural fairness.

MPs are no strangers to this process. Under the guidance of the staff, they stepped forward to vote in an orderly manner. Return to your seat and wait for the moment when the results are announced.

After a toss, the sun sets, the sunset melts gold, and the wine and food are fragrant everywhere in the city. The councillors on the lower floors of the hall were starving, but the representatives of the six major merchant lords were able to eat calmly and take a short rest.

"How do I feel, Pyromone today's table xiàn. Something unusual?" said Grand, who had only taken a few bites, put down his knife and fork, and looked at the platform to the left. As the leader of a neutral faction, Pylomon would only intervene to mediate and propose proposals acceptable to both sides when the radical and moderate factions were at odds.

It is for this reason that the Pyromone family can be called left and right. In addition, they are strong and are hidden at the top of the six major business lords. The luxury goods, financial pawnbroking and other industries involved in it are also not in direct conflict with other business lords. It has created a respected position in Torm.

At the same time, due to the control of Omha City, the Pyromon family is also responsible for the daily affairs of guarding the Temple of the Goddess of Commerce and convening the Federal Council.

And as it is today, it directly suppresses the controversy between the two factions and dominates the tough attitude of the parliament. It has never been seen in the Pyromone family. Shouldn't they sit idly by and wait until both sides of the argument are exhausted before they speak out and offer a compromise?

The revival lasted three years. November 13, 7 p.m.

The final voting results are out.

The old speaker put on his nose-clipping glasses and turned his head to look at the bulletin board behind him.

Because they were worried that someone would cheat, they still used the oldest and simplest way of counting votes in public. The representatives elected by several major factions were supervised at the same time, and the staff counted the votes on the spot and announced on the spot, which took more than an hour to finally count all the votes.

Of the total six hundred and thirty-six votes, of them were found guilty, two hundred and fifty-six votes, three hundred and twelve were considered innocent, and sixty-eight were abstaining.

The guilty bill was rejected, and the "Sea Flowers" merchant group and the Venitez family sent mercenaries to attack the Snowton West Route Army, breaking the law but not guilty.

The moment the results were revealed, Grandhoran stood up, his brows furrowed. Of course, he could guess what was happening, some of the votes of the neutral faction quietly fell to the side of the radicals, and according to Pylomon's anomalous expression, it should be the group they controlled.

The square-faced old man on the fourth platform on the right also had a heavy face. As a mining and metallurgical giant in Thorm, they had about forty percent of their goods, but they were sold to the Snowton Empire. Since the opening of the "Liujin Trade Road", a large number of cheap ores have been able to go south, which has made them a lot of money.

On the radical side, on the other hand, there was jubilation. Francisco, who was excited, thanked Pyromon again and again.

The radicals were not stable within Parliament, and they had intended to stall for time and secretly buy off some small and medium-sized business groups before they called for a vote. Therefore, when Pyromon proposed an immediate vote, Francisco thought it was going to be worse, but he was naturally overjoyed when the situation suddenly reversed.

But Pyromon did not respond to his kindness, and the black-robed old man sat in the shadow of the vault, looking at his nose and nose, as if nothing in the outside world had anything to do with him.

In the hall, there was a lot of noise, and even the radical parliamentarians did not believe that the victory would come so suddenly. The parliamentarians of the neutral faction looked at their companions suspiciously, and some of them showed blank looks on their faces. In the debate, most of them are still biased towards the moderates, which is also in their own interests, but why do the votes turn out diametrically opposite?

Seeing that there was a commotion in the hall, the old speaker hurriedly announced that the "Sea Flowers" merchant group and the Venitez family were not guilty, and then slipped away. Without hesitation, Grand went straight to the Guò corridor to the left platform where Pylomon was, and wanted to ask what was going on, but there was no one there.

"Brother Grand," Francisco shouted in a strange voice after a dozen paces, "go, I'll give you two drinks." ”

"No need. Grand's face was as usual, and he politely refused. He stood there for a moment, then turned and went downstairs to leave.

It wasn't until the carriage prepared outside the hall that a hint of urgency appeared on his face, and he urged repeatedly, "Quick, get out of the city immediately, and rush back to the territory of the merchant group overnight." ”

"Young owner, let's go now?" Kuyt, who was sitting at the door of the carriage, asked curiously.

"It is not a bad thing to be prepared," said Grant, who thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and then commanded, "sir, you must take the trouble to go to the valley of the Herseus and deliver this letter to Allegri. ”
