Old-time musicians

"Kacha!" The sound of bones breaking sounded.

Sidney's consciousness had already become blurry. At this moment, he received a punch pushed by Fan Ning with invisible force. A row of tiny craters directly fell into his forehead, and he fainted and hit the ground.

"hiss"

Fan Ning, who felt severe pain in his finger joints, took a deep breath and shook his hand, feeling that this improvised attack method was not ideal.

For those who have not descended into the chariot, except for a few who have learned the bonus of "cocoon" or "pool", their bodies are still generally useless.

"These two should save each other."

The two bodyguards standing in the shadows were slightly conscious, but they felt that they could not control the strength of their hands.

"Bang!--"

Gunshots rang out, heads were ripped open and blood burst out.

In this attic with surprisingly good sound insulation, it was obviously difficult for this sound to be transmitted to the noisy dance floor below.

Fan Ning squatted down, put the burly man's finger into the pool of blood, and then clicked on his list.

Sidney Arcadio's name bore a scarlet fingerprint.

After doing all the "paper work" in a serious manner, Fan Ning picked up the man who was taller than himself. With the help of the command of "Key", his hand felt as light as a scarecrow.

He screwed out a big hole in the front window and the surrounding walls out of thin air.

Fan Ning jumped directly and landed on the street.

He threw the unconscious Sidney to the ground, then sprinkled the "candle" radiant essence liquid around him in a ring, and ignited several specific corners of his clothes.

"The glory appears!" The mysterious ancient Janus language was spoken.

A beam of golden light soared into the sky, bursting into intense fireworks in the night sky.

This is an authentic lighting spell that is truly related to the "Unfallen Fire".

"What Sidney does is, to put it mildly, 'scheduling'. In fact, it is to respond to the 'order requirements' of the frontline military, provide information to suppliers, and be responsible for managing other armies involved in the transportation route. Well, it’s similar to the role of an intermediary broker in the smuggling chain.”

After doing all this, Fan Ning's physical appearance began to change.

In an instant, he looked like a burly man named Sidney lying on the ground.

In fact, even if the widow didn't speak before, Fan Ning knew that the root cause of the skyrocketing prices, the collapsing economy, and the miserable people was that the trade chain in the Southern Continent was completely cut off, and the direct cause was the two countries in the Western Continent. Fighting broke out over so-called "territorial disputes," but what added fuel to the flames was rampant smuggling.

The latter contributed at least more than 70% of the price increase.

The trend of smuggling has always existed, but the drastic change in the situation seems to have aroused all the instincts in people's bones at once, so that it has almost become a disaster.

Fan Ning has been to 8 of the 14 counties and cities in Janus. In the various mountains, forests and wilderness trails, smuggling vehicles and smugglers can be seen everywhere. They are much louder than the people walking on the road. Many of them are even openly walking in the city. Rest on the road.

The main practice of these dealers is to purchase rice, noodles, grains, oils, meat, vegetables, fruits and cloth in small towns and villages, sell them to big cities or war fronts, and then bring high-end luxury goods or industrial daily necessities from big cities back to small places. High-end products earn money from nobles and gentry, while daily necessities earn money from common people.

This situation also exists in the warring Kingdom of Lydia, and even in the currently neutral Theoraine of the Northern Continent.

It is common to make four or five times the profit after going back and forth. Some of them are more open-minded and just take advantage of the new wave of land reshuffle in the South to expand their business and get a thousand percent profit. All.

Of course, the Special Inspection Office and other official organizations will not pay too much attention to such trivial matters as smuggling. The newly emerged abnormal areas in the South and the whereabouts of Sherer and "Red Pond" after the "Meat Speech Festival" are the focus of attention—— No matter how high your prices rise and how much smugglers spend their money, can you destroy a whole continent?

Nobles and factory owners are colluding with each other, and the military is seriously corrupted. It cannot be ruled out that a few official insiders are also involved. The authorities are well aware of this.

Fan Ning plans to arrest some of the people who can be arrested in Laibiqi tonight, and then arrest others after their duties are relieved. He will make full use of the training halls in various churches and lock them up neatly.

If it is not enough, you can also use the seized stolen money to renovate and expand the venue.

These little people who are engaged in illegal activities are more or less involved with secret organizations. Fan Ning plans to use human sea torture tactics, violently screen intelligence in the abnormal area, and continue to pursue Sylvia's clues upwards.

The radish was pulled out and the mud was brought out. As for the nobles, military and factory owners who were implicated, they kindly helped the church to clean up the matter. They were all brothers and there was no need to thank them.

"Oliver, this person seems to hire coolies and arrange vehicles. He is related to Yaroslav in the transportation department. He is responsible for doing "purchasing work" in various towns and villages, that is, using large-scale centralized purchasing methods to lower prices and levy farmers. Grain, oil, meat and vegetables Lin Qi, the online 'purchasing work', is responsible for regional price control and running on the channels of law-abiding merchants. Yin Sabel, one of the gathering acquaintances of the God Advent Society, is the wife of a certain viscount in the Biqi area. He is very popular in the aristocratic circle because he can get a lot of high-end goods. One of the gathering messengers of the Divine Advent Society should be a middle-to-high-ranking knowledgeable person."

Fanning, who had transformed into Sidney lying on the ground, glanced at the long and wide list.

After briefly stopping at the names of several other people who were related to Sidney and his son, he disappeared into the alley in a flash, leaving only the man lying in the snow and a pillar of light.

Three minutes later, there was a "creak".

In a private library in a noble mansion, the window at the end of the corridor on the third floor suddenly opened.

The library was not lit, but dozens of people were sitting on the floor with their backs against the bookshelves, pretending to read, and a few candles were lit on the floor in the middle.

In the narrow corridor, the pale flames set off the faces of the people. The scene was extremely quiet and very strange.

"Sidney? Are you here to 'study' or to 'dispatch orders'?" The blonde lady Yin Shabel in the innermost closed the book and spoke softly.

"Please follow me to Laibiqi Church." Fanning said.

"What's wrong?" Several men and women next to him laughed.

Fanning's tone was full of compassion and heart-wrenching regret:

"I have been taught by Father Lavoisier and have now awakened. Please come with me to confess."

Insabel, who was far away, narrowed her eyes.

"Good man, you have done business in the church?"

"Hey, how do you feel? Have you shot your brain and body out recently?"

Someone shouted directly.

Fanning waved his hand, and a military shotgun flew directly from the man's hand.

"Bang!——""Bang!——"

Light smoke floated up, and the man's torso immediately bloomed, his stomach and intestines were like a wall, and he personally demonstrated what it meant to be hollowed out.

"It is very difficult to awaken this lamb, so I will rescue it first."
