2014-08-16
Monday, Black Rock City City Lord's House Chamber.At this time, there are a lot of people with big belly and gorgeous clothes gathered here. Today is the time for government affairs, so some nobles and political minds will participate.
The meeting officially begins with the arrival of City Lord Robert count.
Applying for funding, reporting on work, repairing the city wall...
This kind of meeting is held every week, so if there is nothing unexpected, it is undoubtedly very boring.
Except for a few people who are doing practical work who are constantly reporting the situation, most of the nobles and politicians have habitually turned on sleep mode.
At this time, Bevin stood up and accused the Government Affairs Office of being too slow, and that the construction of the wharf had been delayed.
The director of the Political Affairs Department tried his best to pull his fat body from the chair, and then began to narrate various reasons in cadence, why there are too many troublemakers, asking for an increase in the demolition fee, and why the city construction department does not cooperate , there is no way to carry out the work... I talked a lot about smacking the lips, and finally came up with a concluding remark. Anyway, it was not the fault of the Government Affairs Office.
Get unjustly ridiculed, the director of the city construction department is not happy, he is just about to apply for funding to support his thirteenth lover, who wants to kill this thing halfway, so he got up and started to Spitting bitter water, why the government affairs office blocked the funds and did not release them in place. The various facilities of the Urban Construction Department are outdated and need to be repaired urgently...
Therefore, the two directors of the Government Affairs Department and the Urban Construction Department began to scold each other, from the war of words that started at the beginning to level up to personal attacks , and finally the director of the city construction hall smashed a boot to level up for a fight.
The director of the Government Affairs Office was too fat to bend over to take off his shoes, so he smashed the water glass on the table, his head was not well aligned, the water glass missed the target, but the tea inside was affected. many people. So the battle level up again, from a duel to a group fight.
The aristocrats and celebrities next to them were instantly happy when they saw it, oh, there is a play to watch. So immediately switch from sleep mode to booing mode.
For a time, the conference hall was lively.
As for Bevin, who initially raised his opinion, he sat down with a livid face. This group of pigs...
The battle was finally stopped by Robert Count, which ignited the incident. The two ministers each hit fifty big boards and instructed them to quickly carry out the construction of the wharf.
The conference room is back on track again to resume business.
Those nobles who watched the show had finished the show, so they turned on sleep mode again until the meeting was almost over.
Just as these nobles wiped their saliva, sorted their clothes, and prepared to wait for the host of the meeting to announce the end of the meeting, they got up and left.
Auston Count, who sat on it today without saying a word, with a gloomy expression on his face, stood up.
Hey, what else? The nobles sat down again in confusion. Although everyone disdains this pirate nobleman, but he is Vice-City Lord after all, so he has to do his best in terms of face.
The words of Auston count are very brief: "I hereby announce that the Auston family has ceded the ownership of the new wharf to the Robert family!"
After finishing speaking, Auston Dayton strode out of the political affairs hall with a dark face.
Yo, short enough! The nobles are overjoyed. It seems that there are still merits for pirates with little culture. At least he can't make up so many words when he speaks...
Uh, wait, what did he just say... Give up the ownership of the new terminal?
Boom——
After most people reacted, there was an uproar in the hall. Everyone can hardly believe their ears, pier, what is that? That's an assembly line that produces gold coins! The Auston family even said they would let it go. It's not a fool if they don't have culture.
Belonging to the Robert family...
At this time, someone remembered the second half of the Auston count, and all the nobles immediately turned their attention to it. Originally there were four counts, but now that the Allston count is gone, there are only three left.
The client, Robert Count, seemed relatively calm. At this time, he was holding up his teacup and took a slow sip of tea. Matthews Count's face was shocked at first, and then slowly transformed into inexplicable complexity. As for Black Count, it was an undisguised look of anger.
"The meeting is over!"
Knocked, Robert Count put the teacup on the table, got up and left indifferently.
"hmph", Black count coldly snorted, and left with a swirl of his sleeves.
"Ai, it's all gone." Matthews count sighed and walked out of the conference hall.
The nobles looked at each other in dismay. No one expected such a shocking news to come out at the end of the meeting. Everyone showed a complicated look, and they dispersed in a group discussion.
Of course, not all nobles are like this. At least the patriarchs of the five families, including Bevan and Delk, were all happy.
"Lord Bevan is really a no-brainer, it's admirable!" Viscount Delke praised.
Bevin shook the head lightly said with a smile: "hehe, it's all the result of everyone's work with a common purpose. Bevin just came up with some ideas."
"Lord Bevin, you are too modest."
"It's just..."
Bevin cupped the hands: "Everyone, everyone. Well, and the Black family has not yet conquered, When everything is successfully accomplished, it's not too late for you to praise Bevan again."
"With Lord Bevin's planning strategies, the Black family has not obediently surrendered?"
"haha, You're right! Lord Bevan, tell me, what should we do?"
"It's very simple!" Bevin clenched his fists and stretched out, "Just attack!"
"Strike?"
Bevin nodded: "Yes, there is a right way to use our troops. When we are weak, we can make some surprises and get results, but it is inevitably too risky. Now that we are strong, naturally We must attack and crush, and do not give the opponent a chance to breathe!"
"Not bad!"
"That's how it should be!"
"Then when do we A strong attack?"
"Then the Black family is already prepared, so the faster the better, um, tonight!" Bei Wenhua slammed down with his palm and said decisively.
"Okay!"
The plan has been decided, and seeing success in sight, the five Viscount Patriarch naturally did not dare to delay, and they all hurried back to prepare.
At this time, Gray walked into the conference hall: "Master Bevan Young, then the Allston count has gone. Do you see if we..."
"Haha, let's go , it's not good to make people wait for a long time." Bevin rubbed his hands, "This is not the demeanor that a winner should have."
............
East City District ten li or so to the east, here is a Hunting Land dedicated to aristocratic entertainment.
The carriage with the golden lion's head sign all the way out of the Town Hall to come here.
Bevan saw Auston Count with a crossbow on the south side of the hunting grounds.
"Auston count, sorry, you've been waiting for a long time!" Bevin bowed and saluted.
The Auston count handed the crossbow to the steward beside him and glanced at Bevin: "the younger generations will surpass us in time, didn't expect my Auston family to cross the sea, come After arriving in this small southern town, it was planted in your hands."
"Auston count, in fact..."
"Needless to say, winner is the king, loser is the villain! Give me the things!"
Bevin shook the head and winked back
Grey stepped forward and handed over the three-page ledger. Auston count.
After taking the three pages, Auston counted frowned and said in a low voice, "What do you mean?"
Bevin blinked inexplicably and asked in surprise Said: "What do you mean?"
Auston count in the eyes flickering fiercely: "You still give it to me! I have a ledger, you give me three pages? Could it be that your Robert family still wants to My family's former pier can't be done!"
"A ledger?" Bevan and Gray looked at each other in dismay, shocked.
"Yo, the more you pretend, the more you look like. So, you don't plan to return Battle Qi Mantra?"
"Battle Qi Mantra?" Bevin opened his mouth, Looking at the furious Auston count dumbly.
"Okay! Okay! Haha!" Auston counted extremely angry and laughed, "I really have you guys, play this with me, okay, then let the fish die!"
Bevan reluctantly came back to his senses from the shock, and quickly said: "Auston count, there is a misunderstanding. We asked Thief to steal the ledger, and Thief only gave three pages."
"Who believes?"
…………
After some quarrel, Auston Count left angrily with two pages of paper.
"According to these two sketches, search the city for me!" Auston handed the two sheets of paper to Steward with a gloomy face.
Although it is a bit blurry, from these two portraits, it can still be vaguely seen that it is the faces of Tang En and Jack disguise, especially Tang En's aquiline nose is particularly conspicuous.
"Sir, do you believe what they say?" Steward asked, taking the paper.
"Trust me!" Auston counts gnashing teeth, "Give me to Thief Guild to release the assassination Quest, 10,000 gold coins, I'll buy Bevin's life!"
