629 Angry Blood (1)
After receiving the news from Sokutus Delan, the fat man closed the speech book in his hand a little absent-mindedly, this is a small manor outside the city of Behatok, and the colored platform walls are full of bright flowers.
After spending a long time in the beautiful island country of Salander, you will find that the most beautiful place is not the town, but the plain scenery outside the town, the central counties are the most influential area of the Sky Temple, here because of its proximity to Kyoto, the dense farms and fields are also relatively intact, a river passes in front of the manor, winds east to the horizon in the distance, and the golden light and shadow float on the great plain
The whole plain is like a map, pasture gardens, nets of ditches and rivers, and now it is May, and the sun in the sky is beginning to get a little hot, the hot and dim sun, the flowers of violets, hyacinths, and daffodils have withered, and there are still some scattered flowers in the dark and dreary fields, and passers-by fold a few baskets hidden in their hands, and the breeze blows in the fragrance of weeds and mint from the window.
In the distance, a group of Vecchia's black-armored cavalry was coming from the distant sky like a drifting cloud, and soon the sound of Hukochili's familiar riding boots came from the staircase, and he slowly came in from outside the door with an encrypted speech in his hand, and straightened up and gave a military salute
"Your Excellency has investigated clearly, as your lord expected, now the attitude of the northern army of Salander towards our Vikia has changed, and they have formed a Vikia Alliance, in addition to most of the southern nobles, there are some northern nobles who do not know the current affairs are also mixed in, among which the 8 northern lords led by the northern Pinenwei family are secretly planning to empty the authority of the Grand Duchess of Nilai, advocating that this opportunity should be taken to achieve true northern autonomy"
"Envi Family"
The fat man's face was stunned for a moment, he still had some impressions of this family, at the first Northern Alliance Conference, a junior of this Enwei family dared to tease the lord of that place, which shows the arrogance of this family.
They have a good relationship with the Vekia Business Association, but in the later competition for the first export port in the northwest, they were surpassed by the always despised Legern, who constantly held a grudge on Vekia, and conspired with other Northwest lords in private many times, vaguely surpassing Nilai and secretly controlling the momentum of the Northern Alliance.
But what about this The fat man smiled disdainfully at the corner of his mouth, in his eyes, the Northern Alliance is just a face project, for this kind of short-sighted, the guy who jumps up and down naturally doesn't put it in his eyes, but now he dares to jump out like this, he can only say that the other party is alive to the end In the face of absolute strength, any ghost tricks are just a joke in vain,
The Northern War seems to have only been fought for a month, but it took more than half a year to set up this bureau, and it took more than half a year to form the illusion that the Kyoto army was vulnerable, in fact, the fat man still recognized the bravery of the Salander Mamunuk knights, these hot-blooded and young guys are very suitable for serving as the vanguard of some tough battles, if the opponent is replaced by the mixed and disorderly northern army, the Mamunuk knights in Kyoto have already fought all the way to the north
"Immediately send someone to investigate, those business associations in China have contact with them, I'm afraid this matter is not simple."
The fat man's eyes swept over the speech book, his eyebrows frowned for a while, and then he put the speech book on the table heavily, and his cold tone carried a bit of murderous intent, "This matter can be handed over to Lidastov of the Kingdom Supervision Department, so that he can secretly retrieve the trade records related to the Envi family from the archives of the Business Alliance, he is the honorary deacon of the Business Alliance, and it is his duty to pay attention to the flow of trade, and he will not startle the snake."
"My lord means that this seizure of power by the Envi family was instigated by the Vechia businessmen behind their backs?" Hukochili's face was stunned, and then he felt a little chill on his back, the name Lidastov is relatively unfamiliar to most people, but for the insiders of the business alliance, it is a shadow that hangs over the hearts of all businessmen,
His position is not high, but he is the only one who is constantly in charge of the Grand Duke of Falcon, supervising smuggling affairs, and Hertha, the largest smuggling organization, is quite familiar with all kinds of smuggling, and smugglers hear his name like mice hear cats.
He leads the darkest and most mysterious team of the Ministry of Supervision, the "Dark Adjudicator", and in many cases, the Ministry of Supervision will also be very jealous of this mysterious team
Hearing that the Grand Duke appointed Lidastov to be in charge, Hukochili knew that this time he was afraid that he would lose another batch of heads.
Businessmen's interference in military affairs is always the biggest taboo of the Grand Duke, and this time I don't know which bold guy actually tried to intervene in such a major matter as the kingdom's decision-making, I didn't think it before, but now I think about it, if the Salander War continues to be extended, it can indeed make a large number of people profit in this war,
The volume of arms alone has skyrocketed nearly fivefold in the past month or so of the fighting, and there are countless transactions involving the property of the previous nobles, but for the Vikian army, which consumes a lot of food and gold coins every day, it is an extremely hateful "difficult to make a fortune"
"Hehe, there is no one to support it, how can only one Enwei family gather such a big force"
The corner of the fat man's mouth sneered and pointed to the speech book on the table, looking at the gorgeous scenery outside the window, "The last time it was determined that Port Legge was the designated port in the Northwest Sea, there was a great controversy within the business alliance, but it was suppressed by the military with a strategic secret reply, I know that this Enwei family has an extraordinary relationship with some guys at the top of the business alliance, sue sรน Lidastov, I give the supervision immunity, no matter who it is, just find out and never tolerate it"
"Yes, my subordinates will do it"
Hu Keqili's sweaty forehead quickly lowered, and he could feel the surging killing intent in the Grand Duke's heart from the fat man's tone, like a turbulent undercurrent flowing under the ice floe, which could break through the thin ice at any time and roll those unknown unlucky eggs into the boundless cold hell
It was late at night, and most of the neighborhoods in the southern Hukas port were quiet, only the people who returned from the night slowly passed, but in the new northern district, about three or four kilometers from the port, the rough streets were still very lively.
This is a new area that has been expanded in order to expand the volume of trade, the buildings are very new and tall, the streets are surrounded by dense layers of signboards, and there are many beautiful girls who are squeamish there, and they perform the most lethal actions on every man who passes by, and solicit business for themselves.
This is the most lively place in the evening of Houkas Port, and it is only at night that it will seem so prosperous and crowded. The Duke's Palace of Vecchia gave the harbor area very liberal political and economic policies, so much so that it also gave them full freedom in the formulation of local laws, which brought a lot of wealth and rapid economic development, but also brought about the spiritual emptiness and degeneration of some people's lives.
The region only flourished after the Visa War. In order to meet the needs of a large number of seagoing vessels, a number of brand new docks were built here, and the construction of ships was started day and night, including military warships and civilian transport vessels, thus attracting a large number of foreign workers. Most of these workers are from far away central or northwestern Wikia, and more recently, many from the northern region of Kugit.
The salary at the shipyard is good. The life of the workers is boring, and most of them are young and vigorous, which inevitably leads to the prosperity of the business here
Suddenly it rained, and people on the street went to both sides to avoid the rain, which greatly facilitated the work of those working women, who were not only able to move, but also able to pull and pull the men they fancied.
Everyone who passed by couldn't escape their harassment, so many men who were not strong enough quietly disappeared into the next room with warm laughter. However, there were also a few men, and their arrival made every woman standing on the street look at them with envy, but there was no movement.
In fact, from the outside, these three men walked with their heads down. It doesn't seem to be very special, except for the fact that they are dressed in a somewhat dazzling black, from a distance, no one thinks that there is anything special about them, but once they get close to them, many people will feel as if they have a feeling of nervousness and uneasiness, and they will involuntarily get out of the way.
The rain is getting heavier, and there are more pedestrians on both sides of the street, and some areas are so congested that they are impassable. The three men turned and walked into a restaurant.
It's a very large restaurant, very frugally decorated, very affordable, and has a lot of customers, most of them shipyard workers in uniform. Opposite the restaurant is the largest shipyard in the docks of Port Hucas, the Duke of Clelland Shipyard.
The shipyard was named after the Duke of Cleryland, the husband of the former lord Marquise Bell, and after an initial period of painful reforms, many of the nobles who made up for it chose to develop into industry, the Duke's widow, the Marquise of Bell, owned three large dockyards in the port of Houcas, and next to the Duke of Cleland shipyard was a shipyard called the Marquis Gerald, and the two shipyards together had more than 400 workers. ,
Standing at the door of the restaurant, you can vaguely see the endless flow of supplies and people in the shipyard, busy and busy, the masts of the sailing ships under construction are like a forest, a scene of enthusiasm.
Ships are now in high demand in all industries, so every shipyard is running at full capacity 24 hours a day, and this is no exception, with workers working in three shifts. Soon it was time for the workers to take shifts again, and many shipyard workers were vying to have a late night of snack.
Men dressed in black walked into the restaurant without attracting anyone's attention, such dresses are too common in the Hukas area, whether it is the top characters or the dark society, they like to wear like this,
Even the waiters in the store just greeted them with a smile and went on to do other things. They were obviously not dressed to eat here, most of them came to find their boss. Sure enough, the boss was quickly called down.
"Lord Burdonk, don't come unharmed"
From behind the two men in black in the lead, a middle-aged man in a windbreaker turned out, patted the boss on the shoulder very affectionately, and hugged him affectionately.
But the boss's face turned a little pale, and he quickly wanted to retreat back, but the other two men in black had already blocked the back road.
