Law of the Devil

Chapter 196 [This is called prestige! 】

Not the same as Du Wei's expectations.

He was in the rare cold spot on the road in Mulan City!

With the honor of the Duke of his empire, he was crowned as the regent of the Regent, and he was also born into the famous Wu Xun family of the empire. (Although the Luolin family has already fallen, but in the aristocratic circle that is extremely particular about the door and tradition, Du Wei is still regarded as Duwei. I have to be myself, and, not to mention, Duwei itself is a powerful magician.

All the way from the emperor, in any city on the road, the local chief executive received Du Wei with the most solemn etiquette.

But when I came to Mulan City, the team arrived at the gate of the city. The officers of the Imperial Forest Army who had opened the road looked for a long time, but did not see a person from the Governor's Office of the Nurin Province! Even a minimum level of reception officials!

This made the officer of the Royal Forest Army angry! Who are they? It is the pride of the sky, the royal army around the emperor! See the official third grade! Along the way, those local officials are extremely respectful to Du Wei, and they are also very respectful to them, and when have they been treated like this cold?

Seeing that there is no reception official at the gate of the city gate, even the soldiers who guard the gates have stopped the way, asking to see their own customs documents... such a huge fleet of cars, there are hundreds of guards of the regular army, naturally not casual Put it into the city.

Just as the officers of the Royal Forest Army were about to get angry, in the carriage of Du Wei’s carriage, Philip jumped down and walked to the side of the Imperial Army officer. He whispered a few words, and the officer was angry and rushed out of his arms and found the official document. To the soldiers who defended the city.

"See clearly! The badge on the armor of Laozi!" Officer Yu Linjun arrogantly shouted.

Where do you know. The Mulan City’s garrison army thought it was hard and cold, and looked at the Yulin army coldly. He said: “It’s because you see that you are a Guardian army, you have to check it out! If you don’t order to leave the station’s army without permission. , visual and rebellious crimes! Oh."

The Yulin army ate, but because of the order of Du Wei brought by Philip, he did not dare to ignite, patiently waiting for the other party to check the documents, and then vented the general slamming his own horse and a whip. Then I took people to the city.

The soldiers in the city looked coldly, but mocked: "Hey, people from the South don't know how to treat horses. People who don't care for their horses are also equipped as cavalry."

This words happened to be heard by Du Wei in the carriage. He was silent and sighed for a long time.

Yu Linjun is indeed unbearable.

Perhaps their equipment is the best. The treatment is also the best, but... this army, which is piled up with gold coins, always makes Du Wei feel too fancy and gorgeous.

Originally, Du Wei also planned to leave the five hundred Yulin army after he went to the northwest, but all the way, the idea was still dispelled by him. These proud Guards. Not in Du Wei's plan.

It was just that Du Wei then smiled at Phillips around him: "It seems that the Governor of Bohan, who seems to be unfriendly to us."

Philip is also a puzzled face, although he is a young man who is optimistic about Du Wei. But after all, there is no experience in politics, although the knowledge is good, but some things are still invisible.

Du Wei’s heart has long understood.

I don’t come to the northwest. Northwest is where the Governor of Bohn is leading the overall situation against the Northwest Army. And I came here... What would he think about Bohn? He probably would think that the Imperial Central Committee does not trust himself! Send people to divide their power!

You know, although Bohan is nominally a provincial governor of Nurin, but in fact. Du Weilai had heard before that because the two lords before the Desa province were rushed away by the Northwest Army, and in such a chaotic situation, the decree was actually commanded by the Governor of Bohn.

It’s strange that people who are eating this kind of food come, and people are willing to give themselves a good face!

The team entered Mulan City all the way, Du Wei sat in the carriage and looked out the window, all the way. Discover the capital city of the province of Nurin. It is really a climate that is governed by Bohan. Prosperous streets, pedestrians. There are also those traders who are bustling and prosperous.

The pedestrians crossed the street and went directly to the Governor's Office. On the way, they finally greeted the Governor's Office.

Several government officials in charge of the reception were riding horses (this made Du Wei very lamented, it seems that in the northwest, everyone will ride horses, even the riding of these civilian officials looks quite skilled) Blocked the way of Du Wei's team.

The coming people are very respectful to Du Wei, but the meaning in the words is worth pondering.

"Duke of the Duke, our Governor's adults let us welcome the adults into the city, but this morning the Governor's Office is full of business, this year's military delivery has been overwhelmed, which delayed the time, and asked the Duke to redeem. We are here. Leading the way, the Governor’s adult has already arranged the Duke’s residence, and the Mulan City Administrative Mansion is in front...”

After this was not finished, Du Wei frowned slightly.

Administrative residence?

In the empire, the administrative mansion is the place where every local government is responsible for receiving official personnel from other regions. It is equivalent to the ancient Chinese station, but the problem is that those places generally only accept some low-level officials, like Du Wei. Such a powerful person, every place, where can the local officials dare to let Du Wei live in that place? This way, every time a city arrives, local local officials will choose the best place in the city to let Du Wei stay, and even want to invite Du Wei to live in his own home.

But the Governor of Bohan was good, but he dared to make such a thing. Not only did he not come, but he also directly dumped Du Wei to the administrative building!

It is not a bad condition for Du Wei to frown. But he couldn't think of it. The Governor of Bohan was so bad at his attitude that even the face on his face was saved.

As a result, people around Du Wei are a bit uncomfortable. Even the reptiles of Philip’s political circles felt a bit too much, and the servants and soldiers of Du Wei’s men were all angry.

Du Wei thought about it. Suddenly smiled, then walked down the carriage and looked at the officials of the two Mulan City. The tone was very calm: "I don't know if the Governor is now in the city?"

One next to answer, the other one quietly pulled him, and then smiled and said: "Duke of the Duke, it is unfortunate, our governor adults went out of town early this morning. The Northwest Army sent people to pick up the material soldiers in the fall yesterday, and The affairs of several business groups on the infernal land of the grassland made the Governor’s adults really indifferent..."

Du Wei nodded, but his heart sneered.

Going out of town early today?

joke! Everywhere, as soon as he arrives, the cavalry in front of the team will run in front of the notice, and all the way, every time you stay at a place. Those local officials will also announce their next trip to the next place! In this way, the matter that he arrived today, the Governor must have known yesterday.

In his current status, since he knows that he is coming, he still chooses to go out early today. Blinking nonsense!

Think of it here. Du Wei suddenly gave birth to a thought in his heart.

Do you want to hide from me? I just want to meet you! Governor of Bohan, although you have been working in the Northwest for many years, but this shelf is too big to be outrageous, right?

Then Du Wei simply ordered the people around him: "Everyone goes to the residence with these two gentlemen... General Longmbarton, Philip. You go with me to the Governor's Office. Old smoke, take your people with me. go!"

The officials of the two Mulan City changed their faces, but Du Wei did not discuss with them at all, and directly ordered. He is the Duke of the Duke, how can these two guys dare to stop him? I had to leave a group of people to lead the brigade to the mansion, and the remaining one led the way and took Du Wei to the Governor’s Office.

This is the most central location in the Mulan City, the typical northwestern architectural style. The shape is almost ugly, but it is very strong. People are still not close, Du Wei feels a busy atmosphere in the Governor’s House. A busy official in the gate of the Governor’s Office came in and out. There is also a side door next to it, lined up with a long queue, but it makes Du Wei look a little weird.

Those who lined up in different places, dressed in different kinds of interracial, also wearing southern silk gowns. From their temperament. Probably all characters like businessmen. These people are gathered in the side gate of the Governor's Mansion, lined up in a long queue. I don't know what to wait for.

Du Wei looked at the official who led the way. He hadn’t talked yet. The official explained the color and immediately explained: “Adults, these are the people who travel to and from the government to come to the Governor’s Office to receive the next quarter. Trade shares are official documents."

“Commercial share of official documents?” Du Wei looked at Philip with a puzzled look behind him, but the young man was also a blank face, it seems that he did not know. After all, he only came to the northwest a few years ago.

"Yes." The official smiled and said: "This is a pioneering work of the Governor. The local governments of the Nurin Province have to purchase a large amount of materials every year, supplement the military resources of the Northwest Army, and also have the required official food. There are various kinds of goods in the official square. The purchase of these things comes from the people. Later, the Governor of the Generals came up with this method to let the business groups to and from the distribution. At the beginning of each year, these business groups will send people to Mulan City. After the competition, then our governor chose the best ones with the lowest bids and the right to buy them, which saved us a lot of trouble, and the things we bought every year were cheap and good. It also saved a lot. Financial expenditures. The people you see in the queue are some small caravans. They don’t have the strength to participate in the competition at the beginning of each year, but the Governor’s adults also deliberately split some purchases, as long as these businessmen spend money. Buying... The summer is about to pass, these businessmen are all competing for the share of the fall. In recent days, the Financial Secretary of the Governor’s Office can be busy four. Overturned it. "

It doesn't matter if you don't listen, this listens, and immediately makes Du Wei feel shocked!

This is the practice of Governor Bohan... In Du Wei’s view, it is almost the most advanced financial means that he knew in his previous life: bidding! !

Just entering the Governor's Office, the official immediately sent someone to report it. Du Wei looked in his eyes, but did not stop it. He just looked at the Governor's House in a leisurely manner.

Obviously, this Governor of Bohan has a good habit: saving!

Seating in one of the province's highest administrative agencies, this government house is even far less than Du Wei's way to see the garrison style of some cities! There aren't any gorgeous decorations in the yard. Only the busy officials who came and went, the soldiers who stood guards stood straight, even if Du Wei and his entourage walked by them, they did not squint.

This official led Du Wei to come in, his face was very embarrassed, he seems to deliberately delay the time, slowly carrying Du Wei quietly around the circle in the Governor's House, how does Du Wei do not know? Do not poke him.

at last. In front of him, a person dressed in a low-level official service, rushed in a whisper, and the guy whispered a few words, the official's face was more ugly, turned to Du Wei, and smiled: "Duke adults ... our governor The adult just happened to be back, but he is currently talking to the heads of several Northwestern Indian business groups. You see. Is it first to sit in the lounge of the Governor’s Office? Ah, yes! You must have tasted it before. The specialty of our Mulan City, sand honey? I will send it to you."

The sand bee is such a thing, Du Wei did not drink, but as a learned pharmacist. How does he not know this kind of thing? It is nothing more than a bee that grows in the drought-stricken areas of the Northwest, collecting nectar from local special plants such as cacti.

"No, I will go directly to the Governor's adult. Well, is he seeing the leader of the Northwest Interracial Business Group? So just right. I am going to be the governor of Desa, the territory of Desa is exactly the closest to the northwest, now go It’s good to meet those guys.”

"Yes..." The official just said something. Du Wei’s face had sunk and looked at the guy coldly. Where did he dare to say something, coughed hard and let the guy around him quickly report it. He was bitter face and slowly led Du Wei to go inside.

I walked to the innermost part of the Governor’s Office. In front of it was a hall, but the door was closed. There were a few armed garrison troops standing far away. Du Wei came here. Several garrison troops were about to stop, along with the accompanying officials. Hurry up and block.

He is full of big men. Suddenly I saw the guy who had just sent a letter. It was also anxiously waiting outside the door, and I couldn’t help but blink. The guy smiled at the official: "The Governor has left an order before entering, and no one is allowed to go in and disturb. I have been here for a long time, and the guards will not let me in."

Du Wei ignored these people and walked inside. The two guards standing at the door looked at Du Wei’s style and hesitated. They still wanted to stop, and Longbotton had already ran over and pushed away. One, cold and cold, said: "Let's go! Do you dare to block the Duke!"

The name of the duke made the two guards somewhat retreat. After all, from the perspective of the entire mainland, the people who have the title of "Duke" are very rare, and they are pulling out one of them. They are all big-handed people who hold power. It is not that such a small guard can offend himself.

Du Wei was about to push the door, and suddenly he heard a roar from inside.

"You Roland people, you think we are fooling people! Tell you, Governor, if you don't promise us to trade today, then we will bring people to take it!"

With the voice, there was a bang, and it seemed that the weapon had cut the sound of the table.

Du Wei gave a look to Longbotton. Lombard nodded and opened the door and shouted loudly: "Mom, the tribe is the **** who dares to scatter here! I have been away from these years, the courage of your gang of bastards. It is getting bigger and bigger!"

When he finished, Longbotton lifted his foot and kicked the door, then swayed and walked in.

Du Wei then followed in and saw the middle of the hall. A handsome middle-aged man sat behind the desk and wore the uniform of the Imperial Governor. There was a document on the left side and a flat on the right hand side. Sword long sword.

There are also three guys in the room who are dressed in grassland interracial service. One of them is extremely burly, with a sullen look. The hair is even more eccentric. The head is shaved all around, leaving only a whips in the middle. Under the leather robe, a set of leather armor, now the face of arrogance and anger, holding a bright machete in his hand, in front of a table that has been cut into two paragraphs.

These three prairie people are all ugly, carrying the chin waiting for the person behind the desk. The man with the scimitar is even more intimidating. The hand was still faintly distorted by the machete, and the shining knife light reflected on his face, adding a little more.

And the man sitting behind the desk is naturally the legendary Governor of Bohn. In the face of these three arrogant aliens, he looks calm and coldly looks at the guy standing in front of him holding a machete. .

Obviously, Lombard broke into before. The two sides seem to be talking about what has collapsed. The aliens on the grassland are barbaric and immediately pull out their knives to intimidate.

But Longbottom’s intrusion has disrupted all of this. The Governor of Bohan, sitting at the desk, immediately sank and said: "Who!"

Du Wei took two steps and looked at Bohan in the distance. He smiled and said: "The Governor, it’s not easy to see you. I am Du Wei-Rudolph."

Bohan eyebrows pick one. There was a hint of surprise in my eyes.

And Longbotton took advantage of the alien who raised the knife: "Which tribe are you?"

Looking at Longbottom, the arrogant aliens just had to worry, but they looked at Lombard and looked up and down. Just now they looked like a savage look, and suddenly it became like a ghost. The hand was loose, the knife fell to the ground, and Zhang had a big mouth staring at Longbotton: "You, you, you... Mosak! Mosak is back!"

The two aliens behind him looked older, but looked at Lombard's expression. Even more exciting, one of them even scared as if they were shaking.

Lombard snorted coldly: "You recognize me!"

The arrogant man was forced by his eyes, and he stepped back involuntarily: "Moss adults... I, I, I am the Bilun tribe... I am..."

He hadn't finished yet, and Longbottom suddenly went up. He lifted his leg and kicked it on the guy's stomach. Poorly this burly big man was put down on one foot. But it seems that even hiding does not dare to hide. Longbotton went up and took his neck and lifted him up, raising his hand, and the big man was thrown directly into the yard by Lombard.

"What are you doing just now! Mom! It’s only a few years since I left the Northwest. You guys have forgotten even the rules of Laozi! Dare to brighten the knife here!"

Lombard looked coldly at the two guys left.

One of them has already shaken like it is, and the other one can barely speak, and quickly distinguishes: "Moss adults... I don't dare. Just, just..."

"What ass! You can't talk. Just cut your tongue. Go back and find someone who can talk!" Longbottom blinked, and the guy almost softened. However, the speech immediately smoothed a lot: "No... Dear Mosak adults, we are not convinced! This Governor is purchasing the war horses of our tribe every year, but this year his price is not acceptable to us! Three thousand horses He only bids 20,000 gold coins! The top horses of our tribe, isn't it worth every ten gold coins?"

Longbottom sneered: "How much do you want?"

"Four ... 40,000."

"Roll your mother's egg!" Longbotton groaned, then shouted: "Go back, talk to your leader! Ten thousand gold coins! Four thousand horses! Give you ten days to send! One horse is missing Laozi will take people to pick it up!"

This alien has almost never cried.

Ten thousand gold coins? Four thousand horses? This sale can be a big loss!

But he still didn't talk, Longbottom had frowned. "I told you what I am doing, what are you doing here! Wait for Laozi to invite you to dinner! Get out!"

In the end, the words "get out of the way" immediately made the two guys feel like they were blessed. Where can they say that they are half-wordless? I promised to come down again and then fell off my face and hugged my head.

Du Wei saw his heart sigh.

Damn... This is the prestige! In the past two hundred and five generals in the northwest, it really deserved reputation!
