Bright Era

As the night fell, several guards dressed in strong suits and white masks walked in carrying two baskets. The basket was filled with red cloth strips. Under Lin Qi's order, all the thugs who were willing to die for him because of the charm of money wrapped a red cloth strip on their foreheads and tied a strip on their left and right arms.

Seeing that it was still early, the Iron Fist Brotherhood prepared a large amount of wine and meat to deliver.

A sturdy black bread with wheat bran added to it as hard as a stone. Big chunks of fat stewed pork, and a sip of spirits that seemed like a punch on the belly. Thousands of thugs squatted in the yard drank alcohol and ate meat, and all of them ate with greasy mouths.

For these thugs struggling at the bottom of the market, where do they have such a chance to eat and drink?

It's okay for the homeless, and if you get a little money, you can at least eat and drink. But those mobs who have families, especially children, have to bear the pressure of the whole family alone. Most of the money they get from extortion usually has to be turned over to the little boss above, how much money can they keep?

Don't talk about eating meat and drinking from a big bowl, even if you eat brown bread tightly.

So these thugs ate and drank to their heart's content. Everyone ate with greasy faces and hiccups until they couldn't stuff their stomachs anymore, and then stopped their hands in a bit of sorrow. Fortunately, Lin Qi didn't prepare too much spirits, otherwise these guys would definitely get drunk, not to mention fighting with others, it is good not to hit the tip of the knife and hurt yourself.

Ordering the full-fed thugs to rest in the yard, Lin Qi followed a guard and quickly walked out of the slaughterhouse.

Just next door to the slaughterhouse, in a simple small building, Latus and Titian were sitting in the small attic on the top floor. Through the windows here, you can just see the backyard of the slaughterhouse 100 meters away. Both Latus and Titian's faces were blushing, and they had already discovered the benefits these thugs could bring to them.

Once Latus and Titian dismissed these thugs in the market, are these ant-like untouchables worthy of their attention? Look at those people's ragged clothes, look at their ugly faces and fierce eyes, these people can't squeeze a copper oil from their bodies, where is it worth their attention?

But just yesterday Lin Qi let Yu Lian come to the door and made certain demands to them.

Through certain channels controlled by Latus, through the tremendous influence of Titian’s elders in the administration of the empire, two noble princes suddenly discovered something terrible-these humble thugs, and these Like ants, they make more than 20 million gold coins every year in the streets of Berriley!

The gods are on top, that is 20 million gold coins, enough to immediately form two hundred thousand elite standing heavy infantry regiments of 20 million gold coins!

Although these small people dare not provoke the nobles, but other than that, even the first-class merchants in the Imperial Capital are the targets of extortion and even kidnapping. All shops in the Imperial Capital are officially taxed every month. In addition, they have to pay a certain amount of protection fees to these thugs, and even some merchants refuse to pay taxes to the empire and choose to pay double protection fees to these thugs.

They monopolized many businesses of the Imperial Capital, such as the transportation and storage of goods in the wharf area, such as the 80% of the Imperial Capital’s taverns and inns, such as the Imperial Capital’s 30% luxury hotels, as well as the carts and horses, livestock shops, and the night watchmen who patrolled the night. , The handymen who dredge the ditches, and even the workers who dig the septic tanks of the rich and noble families, they are all part of this huge group.

They have many eyes and ears, all over the imperial capital. Having mastered these people, they can master every move of the imperial capital. Which duchess had a tryst with her lover behind her husband, which noble lady gave her pure body to her lover on the eve of her marriage, and even which noble lady the Emperor secretly spent the Spring Festival evening with the emperor. Their eyes.

Generous income, terrifying intelligence network, all this is so exciting!

Therefore, Latus and Titian immediately made the most direct and efficient response. They enthusiastically provided Lin Qi with all kinds of conveniences. Even this slaughterhouse, where Titian personally came forward, only took a quarter of an hour. It became Yu Lian's property from the original owner's name.

Located on the edge of the imperial capital, it covers a huge area and can station hundreds of people on weekdays. Even if you think with your ass, you know what it means to have hundreds of heroes who dare to fight and kill in the treacherous capital city!

Not to mention other things, with this power, Titian and Latus can cause trouble to Beya at any time! Making trouble for one's political opponents is the most pleasing thing for a qualified politician.

Following the steep stairs, Lin Qi walked steadily into the small attic. He bowed to Latus and greeted him respectfully: "Your Highness, have you come in person?"

Latus nodded gently, and he sighed softly: "Yes, the emperor has been very restless recently. A few days ago, something happened in the Victory Palace. To tell you the truth, grandfather's favorite crown , And all his seals. Except for the private seal he personally collected, all the other seals were taken away!"

Lin Qi's eyes widened in horror, and he exclaimed, ‘God’!

Latus sighed deeply and deeply, and then smiled happily: "So Bella is unlucky. He is the squadron captain of the Dragoons. This is their negligence! So we have been in the past two days. Watch the excitement! A while ago, they watched our excitement. Because of Alham’s death, we were watched. But now it’s very good..."

Titian said, "It's so good, it's so good. The missing of your majesty's crown and seal has spread throughout the continent. The emperors, kings and princes of all countries are watching our majesty's excitement, so Beiya and the others are under heavy pressure now. I heard that just this morning, all the dragoons in the imperial capital had been sent out, searching every inch of land near the imperial capital for 300 miles!"

Did you send dragoons to search every inch of land in the vicinity of three hundred miles?

Lin Qi secretly smiled in his heart. At the speed of Dragon City, he is now afraid that he is about to leave the territory of the empire and will step into the territory of the Caesar Empire, right? Not to mention sending out all the 10,000 dragon cavalry standing by the imperial capital, even if all the armies of the entire empire are activated and all the people of the empire are activated, it is impossible to find a hair in the dragon city.

Clenching his hands firmly, Lin Qi angrily condemned the bold robber.

Then Lin Qi asked the two of them: "So, is there any clue?"

Latus and Titian glanced at each other secretly, and there was a moment of silence before Latus spread his hands.

"With the latest information obtained by the military, several marshals of the Wudalian Island Alien Joint Military Headquarters proactively claimed that their soldiers had taken away the crown and seal of the grandfather. But according to their statement, all five of their marshals sent The strongest and best fighters were used to carry out this matter, so now the five marshals of foreign races are preparing for a duel to decide who the honor of stealing the grandfather's crown and seal belongs to!"

Lin Qi threw a mouthful of blood into his throat, and then he swallowed it forcibly!

Lin Qi loved them to the foreign races on Wudalian Island. Elham and the others were killed, and they took the initiative to carry this scapegoat, so that the church could no longer trace it. Then Longcheng rushed to the Victory Palace at night, and those foreign races took the initiative to take on this **** pot. Lin Qi considered whether he wanted to use brass to make a medal and present it to those alien races in recognition of their fearless spirit for bravery and bravery.

Latus sighed deeply and cursed angrily.

Those damned aliens, they carried the first scapegoat, and it was enough to let them get out of trouble, why bother to carry the second scapegoat? What a happy thing to be able to make Baya and the others unlucky? What was abruptly was destroyed by them.

Shaking his head, Latus looked at Lin Qi seriously.

"We all know the power of those thugs in the market now, so Lin Qi, I hope you can help us grasp this power."

Latus handed a ruby ​​ring to Lin Qi. Between the clear ruby ​​and the ring, an emblem of the imperial family was imprinted-a rooster with its head held up and its chest raised.

"Take this ring, you are my courtier, Lin Qi!"

Lin Qi took the ring, and he smiled reservedly. He remembered Dragon City's words, now he needs the help of Latus, because he is still very weak, so he needs the help of Latus. Retainers of royal family members? This name is very good, maybe I can get Blackbeard into a noble title in advance?

Seeing Lin Qi applauding the ring, Titian applauded happily: "Well, that's great. Lin Qi, you have a bright future. I really believe this."

After slapped his hands vigorously, Titian said in a deep voice, "Tonight, there will be no dragoons in Nancheng, because all the dragoons have been sent out of the city. There will be no copper hats in Nancheng, because the highest police station is The commander is mine. You have a full hour to solve all problems, because I can only get you one hour. At most one hour and a quarter of an hour, the guards of the imperial capital will rush to Nancheng!"

An hour? Lin Qi smiled relaxedly. He shook his fist vigorously: "One hour is enough! Your Royal Highness Latus, Your Excellency Titian, get ready for the celebration bar. When I come back, the underlying power of the entire imperial capital is in control Our hands."

Lin Qi turned around and left. Then he suddenly turned around and asked, "Whose person is the cripple?"

Latus looked at Lin Qi and laughed leisurely: "The house you sent to follow belongs to my cousin Bicchus. But don’t pay attention to him, my second uncle has been dead for many years. He is helpless in the palace, you don't need to pay attention to him!"

Lin Qi immediately let go of his heart, an emperor who has no backing, then even trample him to death! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
