Chapter 1021 An Embarrassing Situation
c_t; When Slin saw the dozens of corpses laying flat on the ground, his expression could no longer be described as ugly. ($>>>Mian, Hua'tang'Xiao'say') ⊙, his subordinate Waite's voice was fairly steady, but very low, and he seemed particularly heavy. He said: "General, the dead have been counted, and the total dead Seventeen people were killed. Thirteen of them were identified as people from Goplin Manor on Paradise Garden Street. They included Mr. Goplin's wife, Mrs. Kisna, two sons, butler Peter and nine other servants. The other four are unidentified and await our further investigation. What can be confirmed is that they are related to the three people killed by Sir Allen on Avenue 7."
Slim glanced at him.
Waite said: "First of all, these people all wore masks on their faces. Although the three corpses on 7th Avenue have been burnt beyond recognition, the ceramic fragments extracted from the corpses prove that they are worn by the mysterious dead on Garden Street. The materials of the masks are the same. In addition, these people have no obvious identity marks on them, and they should have deliberately concealed them. Also, judging from their scattered weapons and tools, these people should be killers, and their strength is not too bad .”
"Of course it won't be too bad, otherwise it would be impossible to kill the Guplin family quietly." Silin raised his forehead and said, "Where is Guplin now?"
"It is said that Mr. Goprin left Sardinia the day before yesterday due to business reasons. I have ordered someone to notify him, and he should be back in a few days."
Sling shook his head and said, "I don't even know how to tell Guplin how this happened. What about other situations on Garden Avenue?"
Waite smiled bitterly: "It's very bad. I don't know who used the powerful ability or weapon. In short, at present, more than half of Garden Avenue has been razed, and there are a total of two manors involved. Fortunately, no one was injured. But now, The elders are already very angry and questioning why we let this happen in Paradise Garden."
Slim sighed, and said, "What did Sir Allen say?"
Waite replied: "He didn't say anything, he just said that the three dead men attacked him and he killed him casually."
"It's a good one to kill..." Slin sneered: "The incident started in the Garden of Paradise. I don't know who lived there. Which of those people has something to do with this knight? There was a battle in the Garden of Paradise, and someone later proved it From Garden Avenue to Avenue 7, there was a chase. (') Many people witnessed this incident. It was definitely not an attack aimed at Allen, but it seemed that the jazz was hiding something Or, are you protecting the targets of those killers?"
Waite thought for a while and said, "Why don't you let me invite him?"
"What are you here for? Let him watch us make a fool of ourselves?" Slin said angrily, "Didn't you read the records of the city defense team?
The jazz had stated that the incident on Seventh Avenue was an attack on him. There was an attack on the Viscount of the Empire in the city under my jurisdiction. No matter what the knight wants to hide, I must first give a satisfactory answer to this incident. Before we have any evidence, there is absolutely no way for us to take an imperial viscount. "
"What does the general mean?"
Silin hummed: "These people can't appear out of thin air. If they want to enter the city, someone must first forge their identities. Otherwise, they will not be able to pass the interrogation at the city gate alone. Do you think that all of them are ten saints?" The strong ones can go high and high? Secondly, our stag army didn't get any news before this. Apparently the shady rats in the city provided them with cover. You go and find them all for me. I can't believe I can't find a clue!"
Waite nodded to do it.
Even so, Slim's heart was heavy. It's very simple. The incident happened on Tianguo Garden Avenue, and all the personnel in a manor were wiped out. It would never be an accident that such a thing happened. If it was a deliberate murder, then there would be many people involved behind it. Moreover, most of these characters, whether they were the victim or the mastermind, were not something he, a general of the Bucks, could afford to offend.
As long as this matter is not handled properly, Silin's situation will become very embarrassing. Thinking of this, how could he relax.
That night, the slums in the city of Sardinia could be described as wild. The iron whistle of the Bucks Guards never stopped for a moment. After tossing for most of the night, everything gradually fell silent.
After breakfast the next day, Allen brought Edward, Sean, and several businessmen to the chamber of commerce in Sardinia. Walking into the resplendent hall of the guild hall, Silin and several bigwigs from the business world of Sardinia were already present. Seeing Alan's arrival, Slin and others hurriedly got up and greeted him enthusiastically. Slin's complexion didn't look very good, with a forced smile on his face, he introduced it to Allen.
Apart from Sling and his old subordinate Waite, there were only three other men and one woman present today. These four people are all big figures in this city who would make the city of Sardinia tremble if they stomped their feet. The youngest among them was a man named Elon, who was only in his forties. Fangzheng's facial features are clear, his face is white and beardless, and his whole person gives Allen a very clean feeling. When Slin introduced him, he always had a gentle smile on his face, without any pressure. If he was walking on the street, he might be regarded as an ordinary person.
But such a man dressed in ordinary clothes and with a modest expression is the chairman of the Flying Elephant Merchant Group. The Flying Elephant Merchant Group operates a wide range of businesses, including high-end hotels, shipping, and horse breeding and redemption. Among them, the largest industry is shipping. The Flying Elephant Merchant Group owns seven super merchant ships, and there are nearly a hundred small and medium passenger cargo ships. Every year, the Flying Elephant Merchant Group's ships are busy shuttling through various ports in the empire. Even in the Northland, the Flying Elephant Merchant Group has quite a reputation.
Mark, who was standing with Elon, was an old man in his sixties. Age spots of different shades have appeared on the wrinkled skin, and Mark, whose hair has already turned gray, only has a pair of gray-blue eyes with a sharp sharpness, which is completely devoid of the twilight that an old man should have. The old man had a typical eagle nose, which made him look rather stern and ruthless. In fact, he is also an unsmiling person. When Slin introduced him, he didn't even have a smile on his face. He just looked Alan up and down with sharp eyes, as if trying to see him through.
Mark is the chairman of the Golden Falcon business group, which is mainly engaged in fur purchases, and they are the largest fur purchaser in the south. There is even a hunting group called "Hawkeye" under the merchant group, which are all first-class hunters in the southern border, and there are even some real strong people.
As for Angela, she is a woman. This lady-like woman is the chairman of Ruby Crown's business group. In fact, Ruby Crown is an alliance formed by more than a dozen chambers of commerce engaged in the jewelry industry. Angela is elected by the presidents of the chambers of commerce. figure. Angela has always been known for her unique vision. In the ten years since she served as the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce under the name of Ruby Crown has maintained a wealth growth rate of 25% every year.
The last Peter is the chairman of the Sword and Tiger Merchant Group. Peter is a well-deserved fat man. His bloated fingers are covered with rings inlaid with various gemstones, and there are several necklaces around his neck. He is a typical upstart image. . But it was such a fat man with a ridiculous appearance. His Sword Tiger Merchant Group owned two large mercenary unions, engaged in weapons and equipment, and even made a living by selling slaves and war horses.
This fat man can be said to be rich and rich. Even when Silin talked to him, he had to be polite.
The presence of these four people can determine the economic lifeline of most of Sardinia. If one of them can be won as an ally, Allen's trip to Sardinia would not be a waste. After Slim finished speaking, he also gave a brief introduction to Allen. In fact, regarding Alan's origin, which one of them is not a well-informed and capable person, they probably know Alan less than Slin, so Slin doesn't have to waste his time talking.
Allen pushed Sean and several other businessmen out, and after making an introduction, he said, "Mr. Sean can be my plenipotentiary representative for matters in the mall. We have expertise in worsted fabrics, guns and artillery." Director, if you are interested in Sardinia, you may wish to consult Mr. Xiao En."
The four big businessmen, Elon, have a very high vision. If it is just ordinary business, it is difficult to get into their eyes. They don't pay attention to the cloth business like worsted cloth. But guns and cannons are another matter. The empire is martial, and this kind of ethos is true from north to south. Coupled with the large and small wars started by the lords of various places, weapons and equipment, especially gunpowder guns, are not worrying about the lack of sales.
Hearing Alan mentioning guns and artillery, among the four of them, Fat Peter, who is mainly engaged in weapons and equipment, first lit up his eyes. The fat man smiled until there was only a slit in his eyes, and asked: "Listen to the tone of your lord, you have your own weapons. Workshop?"
"Not only that, we also have first-class master craftsmen. This time, we happened to be transporting a batch of guns to the North. If Mr. Peter is interested, I can let you show you the power and strength of our new guns." performance."
"That's great." The fat man glanced at Silin: "I think General Silin is also interested in seeing if the muskets you provide can catch up with the imperial-style muskets used by the Bucks, how much do you have? I want it all."
Allen smiled faintly, and said: "Come here this morning, we brought a new type of musket with us, so I don't know if there is a place for display in the hall."
The lady Angela smiled and said: "This is simple, I will prepare it immediately, please wait a moment."
She leaves for a while.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Allen glanced at General Sling intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "General Sling, I wonder if the identities of those criminals on Avenue 7 were found out last night?" For mobile phone users, please visit m
