Realm of Power

The businessmen were stabbed to death in pieces by the soldiers with spears, and the wailing sounds were like moans from hell. Seeing the completely reversed situation, Yingli Mader, who was wearing a black dress and had an arrogant face, was completely frightened by the scene in front of her. After a while, the miserable noise disappeared, and the corpses of more than a hundred businessmen lay all over the river beach.

Hu Keqili's eyes began to look at Yingli Made, whose face was as white as a piece of paper.

"Lord Hu Keqili, what do you want to do? I am the chief female officer of Princess Harundian!" Feeling Hu Keqili's eyes like a dead person, Yingli Mad's face lost all color in an instant, and she spoke out The shrill screams of extreme fear came from the women in the palace. They were probably used to conspiracies and intrigues, but they had never seen such a naked massacre.

"There are no female officials here, let alone anyone who has anything to do with Princess Haraudian! As for you, I don't think there is any difference from other people!" Hu Keqili looked calmly as if he was telling a fact, and turned to the back. The Konoe made a gesture, "Get rid of it!"

"Yes, sir!"

Two black-armored guards responded, speeding towards the two men holding imperial swords dripping with blood. Half of the metal armor had been put down on the faces of these two guards, leaving only a pair of fierce leopard eyes. The businessman's blood dripped out an obvious thin red line as the two walked around, and the cold front dazzled brightly.

"No, you can't do this!, I belong to Princess Harandian. The chapters are updated the fastest..."

Yingli Mad's hands and feet retreated in a panic, and the dangerous aura made her tall and attractive breasts gasp. This sight that could make most men hold their breath in the past has no meaning at this moment. A woman from Ruidian Konoe hesitated for a moment, and another Konoe raised his knife.

Her voice stopped abruptly after half a second. A guard sword passed through her neck as white and slender as a swan with a beautiful and strong arc. The strength and angle of the sword were perfect. It was like a ninety-degree crosscut. It was so fast that Yingli Mader felt that she could no longer make a sound or breathe air. Her eyes bulged out of her eye sockets, and she was sure that the incision from that half of the neck was like squeezing a tomato. The person who shot out half a meter of blood was actually herself. Her headless body fell to the ground, and her head full of fear and surprise rolled to the feet of Sidney Suo, the head of the Business Alliance.

"Why, why is this happening! Everyone just thinks..."

Sidney's feet were weak and he knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly. After all, he was from a traditional knight family of Ruidian. In the face of the blood and the impending death, he seemed much calmer. He tried to hold on and looked directly at Varisien, as if he wanted an answer.

"Empire, what decides everything is force. Your ambition has hit something you shouldn't touch, that's it!"

Hu Keqili was riding on the horse and interrupted him with a cold tone. Raising his hand to the guard, the guard raised his knife and dropped it. Red blood spurted out from Sidney's headless body, spreading like a blood waterfall from the mid-air under the noon sun. Sidney's body with clenched fists fell straight down after a few seconds.

"I will take away the heads of these two people, and leave the rest to you. Keep it clean and burn it!" Out of caution. Hukoqili ordered the guards to cut off the heads of all the corpses before saying goodbye to Varisien.

Valicien bit the bullet. He plucked up the courage and said quickly, "Sir, for the sake of being once your subordinate, please give me some information. What does your majesty want? There are so many businessmen, each of them has a good background. There are even business alliances in Pantao area The general manager and the confidants of an imperial princess are all killed in one go. Sir, you can escape safely, but your subordinates will be in big trouble. They dare not do anything to you, but to regional leaders like your superiors and subordinates. There is no pressure at all”

Hu Keqili glanced at him with a strange expression, and suddenly sighed, "Varisien, you are called the most blessed general in the empire. You really have enviable good luck. Your Majesty is the one who killed these people. It's not you. As long as the other party is not crazy enough to assassinate an imperial general, you are in a safe situation.

"Because no matter what the identity of the other party is, the one you will face in the end will be His Majesty. All you have to do is to let this matter develop as it should."

"What should be the situation? Sir, what do you mean?"

Varisien's face was slightly stunned. Please tell me what the situation should be. Lying on the river beach were the core members of various forces in the Putao area, including the head of a wealthy business family from the empire. This time, he had completely offended the entire Putao area.

"Don't you see it yet? This is what Your Majesty wants! Execution of so many businessmen at one time is just to see who dares to jump out on such a thing!" Hu Keqili smiled slightly and said The riding crop in his hand was coiled together. "If this matter Whether it is His Majesty who comes forward, or it is me who comes forward, the situation is not so ideal. That's why I say that you are the emperor's blessed general. You don't have to do anything, don't care about anything, let it develop freely, you just need to hide. Just get up and don’t say a word.”

"You just tell me that I am small and easy to control, but you want my subordinates to not say a word! This is too difficult!"

Varisien seemed to understand a little bit, and said with a smile, "I am just a regional leader, not a military minister who commands the imperial power like your lord. There are too many ways for the other party to force him to come forward, just like the West What Deniso said is that as long as the commercial trade in the Putao area is stopped, he must run out to deal with the situation.

"I really don't know whether I should call you smart or stupid."

Hu Keqili paused in his voice, swung the riding whip in his hand fiercely, curled the corners of his mouth disdainfully and said, "Don't forget, the caravan relies on the vines under the giant tree of the military, especially in Pudong." The serious consequences of offending the military in such an area where smuggling is rampant are something that most smugglers are not willing to face."

"Unless these idiots can't see the situation clearly and don't want to hang out here, if they dare to go on strike, let the army confiscate all the goods in the name of smuggling goods!"

There was a chilling coldness on the corner of Hu Keqili's mouth. "Those big businessmen from the empire may have some connections and power, but behind you is the unified will of the empire, and it is His Majesty who decides everything! What else do you have?" What a worry, this is a war, the war between our military and businessmen! The more you seek your own death! As a representative of the military, you can rise from the position of regional chief to local governor. What a blessing you can't even envy! !" Hu Keqili looked at the dumbfounded Valicien with a look of resentment and rolled his eyes before leaving, leading the guards away.

Varisien stood there and shuddered when he heard these words. Yes, if His Majesty wants to support the military in the end, the best way is to promote himself from the regional chief to the regional governor. This It definitely fits the bad taste of His Majesty with his perverse personality. What could be more like a loud slap in the face than this. A slap that could be heard extremely clearly in every corner of the entire empire.

In the absence of a deliberate blockade by the military, the news that Varisien, the head of the Empire's Putao region, brutally massacred 170 businessmen spread throughout Besuka in the afternoon. The bodies on the river beach had been Cleaned up, but the beach rocks were almost completely stained red with blood stains, and The red color can still be clearly seen despite repeated washing by the river, and the collective disappearance of middle- and high-level businessmen in the entire Besuka region, as well as the latest land division decree of the empire posted in the central square of the region, make the entire heinous incident naked. The massacre was fully displayed in front of everyone's eyes,

The owners are missing. The land is in Varisien's hands. This is the most direct evidence. There is no need to prove anything anymore. It is like poking a huge hornet's nest with a pole. The servants of all forces sent fast horses from Besuca to communicate continuously throughout the afternoon.

By the evening of the third day, a fast horse galloped into the large carved iron gate of the Lisbonto Business Alliance branch in the center of Puntau District. The rider on it jumped off the horse very eagerly. He hurriedly sent the report in his hand to the branch's documentation department.

The person who took the report from the graceful female secretary of the Document Department was Vakali, the Deputy Minister of the Business Alliance Branch.

He has a handsome face and a pair of bright eyes under his golden hair. The young man from the Ruidian wealthy Waka family has an enviable aura. He is young, has status, and has status. He is one of the focuses of attention of ladies at many business banquets. Naturally, he is also the focus of many business alliances. The ideal partner for a branch female secretary

After teasing a few words with the female secretary, Vakali was about to open the report in front of him. He glanced at it, frowned slightly and then put it down. The seal of the document was the Boala arabesque emblem exclusive to the Business Alliance, which belonged to the branch director. Only then can you open the confidential documents,

Sidneyso was out, and Vakali was a little hesitant whether to open it or not.

The current Putao branch is no longer what it used to be. With the promulgation of the Empire's order to open inland seas and the Empire's complete victory in the Congo-Africa War, in just two months, less than 100 people originally belonged to the Business Alliance were One thousand merchants suddenly expanded to fifty thousand, and the water these merchants brought The hand reached an astonishing 400,000 yuan. The Putao Business Alliance branch bluntly said that it is now the largest branch of the empire. West Germany Sony, the unknown head of the Business Alliance branch, has also risen with the tide. , became the twelve most important deacons of the Business Alliance

Few people know that half a year ago, Wakali, who arrived in the Putau area, had a fierce conflict with Sidniso. Wakali, who was transferred from the prosperous headquarters of the empire, was very dissatisfied with the situation in the Putau area. He once vehemently criticized the branches set up by the Business Alliance in smuggling-prone areas such as Putau, which were basically prisons used to punish wrongdoers.

"There is no basis at all. Far from the mainland of the empire, the Congo-Africa trade line leading inland is in a semi-hostile state."

"Commodities are completely smuggled into the country. It is the smugglers who determine and dominate the commercial trade here. The inaction of the military makes the business alliance nothing more than a decoration."

"The most shameful thing is that the Business Alliance, which is known for hosting orthodox businessmen, is also engaged in smuggling business privately. The name of this cancer is Sidneyso!" Vakali said in his report to the headquarters. When he wrote this, he naturally also mentioned Sidney Sole, who was colluding with the smugglers in Puntau.

However, his report was ruthlessly rejected by the headquarters. Sidneyso was not transferred and continued to make a lot of money from smuggling. However, the rift between the two people was exposed. The headquarters did not give an explanation. Vakali knew from some clues that in The establishment of the Business Alliance branch in the Putau area was not a decision of the Business Alliance Deacons' Meeting, but the result of a woman's arbitrary actions. When he heard this woman's name, Vakali suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Although he was only in the branch, Worked for a year. But the name Sokutus Stellan is so popular,

The famous Dark Rose, rumored to be like a blooming flower with poisonous thorns, the Thirteen Deacons who combine beauty and death, a woman who can fight against the entire Deacon Council with her own strength. To cancel a branch requires three points from the Deacon Council. Only one person agrees, but among the twelve deacons, no one is willing to offend this woman for a remote and inconspicuous branch deputy minister! With the promulgation of the empire's strategy of opening up the inland sea, everything changed, and local merchants gathered in Putao. The inconspicuous PuTao headquarters showed the prospect of becoming a commercial center headquarters. News came from the headquarters that the Commercial Alliance Headquarters seemed to be moving to PuTao.

This proposal is said to have been formally submitted to the Board of Deacons. If passed, this will definitely be a major event that shakes up the entire empire's business community.

From this, we can see how correct the strategic foresight was when establishing the Putao branch, and it also proves from the side how close the connection between the Thirteenth Deacon and the senior officials of the Imperial Party is. Vakali felt that he was lucky to still be alive after submitting such a fiercely criticizing report.

"At this time, it is not wise to despise a deacon-level minister with an unlimited future. Let alone that villain Sidney Thor!"

Vakali curled his lips and placed the document on Sidniso's desk. He had already heard that Sidniso seemed to be planning to change a deputy minister. The more times like this, the more we need to remain vigilant and careful, and we must not leave any clues to West German Sony.

Leaving the report on Sidnisso's desk, Vakali left the office. Today he still had an important business event to attend. Downstairs, he asked the staff on duty to wait until Sidnisso came back. remind him

In this way, the business alliance that should have been the first to get the news began to face an unprepared storm surge because of the hesitation of the young deputy minister. In the afternoon, the news from the massacre in Besucca had spread throughout Lisbon. , businessmen flocked to the Business Alliance branch like a tide,

"Such a serious massacre of businessmen occurred. Shouldn't the business alliance bear some responsibility?"

"Sidney, let Sidney come out!" the merchants shouted. Sidney rushed behind him, so all the forces did not know that Sidney was also dead. The person who pulled the strings and took the lead was Sidney Sole of the Business Alliance, now everyone has died because of this, and the Business Alliance cannot escape the blame.

The businessmen blocked the intersection of the Commercial Alliance branch and shouted loudly. The crowd became more and more crowded, and soon hundreds of people gathered. There were businessmen inside, and there were also many smugglers. Because no one was seen coming out, some businessmen He rushed into the branch and smashed the desk. The clerks in the branch were frightened and hid in panic.

After receiving the news, Vakali was blocked at the door on his way back to the branch. The young deputy minister got off the carriage and saw several wealthy businessmen who used to be honest with him. He glanced at the gathered businessmen. Vakali's eyebrows were knitted together as he wanted to find out the situation. Not only the merchants from the Business Alliance came, but also many large smugglers who were rarely seen on ordinary days. They were local from Puntao and rich merchants from the empire. , businessmen from the southwest and northwest regions seemed to have gathered together at once

"What the hell is going on?"

A bad premonition arose in Vakali's heart. He vaguely heard the news about the massacre in Besuka, but he has not confirmed the authenticity of the news. Now it seems that there is no need to confirm. The people gathered here are enough to explain everything. , In normal times, orthodox merchants and smugglers are mortal enemies, but now they stand together,

"Is that what happened...?"

Vakali's body trembled slightly, and a piece of information flashed in his mind. He heard that Sidniso seemed to be encouraging businessmen to implement a big plan. Sidniso even said without hesitation that if this plan succeeded, Rui Erdian's merchants can dominate Putao's business initiative for at least twenty years.

"Let Sidney Thor come to see me!" A bald wealthy businessman walked out of the crowd, wearing a gorgeous dress with gold threads on his body, with emerald and red gemstone rings on all ten fingers, holding in his hand The smoke was extinguished at the door of the Business Alliance without ceremony, and he said with a ferocious tone.

"Your Excellency Pahayla, this is the Business Alliance branch! Please pay attention to your words. I will find Minister Sidniso. I hope everyone can calm down."

Wakali's face darkened. He knew this bald middle-aged man, Pahela, the largest smuggler in the Putao area. It is said that he sells everything, even prisoners of war and slaves. He is a bastard who smells of blood all over his body. , but his wealth is also amazing. It is said that he has a net worth of more than three million.

"Business alliance? Haha, this is a common practice! Here, my words are more effective than your business alliance!" The bald middle-aged man was arrogant. He threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, stepped on it with his feet and crushed it left and right. , grinned slightly at Vakali, revealing a set of white teeth." Vakali told Sidney Suo, if he is still hiding, we will smash this place! We have killed many people this time. If there is no explanation, I want him to pay for it with blood! And I am here to tell you, the Business Alliance, that we will not do it! If you are so willing to give up, just watch, we will stop the entire business in Putao and let the empire see our power! "

"you!"

Vakali's face turned a little red. He had a premonition that things were going to be serious. If the entire business in Putao was shut down, it would definitely have catastrophic consequences.

He immediately called for Sidniso's deputy to ask, and Vakali frowned slightly, "What!" Minister Sidneyso also went to Besuca! when? Three days ago. . . . . Vakali's head was numb with the bang. Three days ago, there was a massacre. There was no news that Sidney Sole was also affected. But no news is exactly news. Such a tragic massacre, unless Sidney Sole was also affected. He was imprisoned, otherwise there would be news. He thought of that document, and he couldn't care about that much now.

He tore open the seal on the document with one hand, took out the original report from inside, glanced over it, and was stunned. "Sidneyso is dead! Died in the massacre in Besucca!" Besuca's personnel were not found. Sidney Thor's body, but had been obtained from the army According to the news, the person who issued the massacre order was the military minister Varisien. Taking this report, Vakali had a shuddering feeling. Such an important business alliance deacon died as if in front of the Imperial Army. An autumn leaf blown by the autumn wind has no weight at all.

But the next moment, the corner of his mouth suddenly burst into laughter again, Sidney was dead! Then he is the head of the Putao branch. As for the shutdown threats of those arrogant smugglers, who cares? The Imperial Army even killed Sidney So, which has already shown the fate of anyone who tries to resist. These The smuggler is going to hit the knife edge himself, so he deserves to be killed.

In a manor on the top of a mountain outside Besuka, Hu Keqi, holding a secret report in his hand, pushed open the door of the office and saw the master with his hands behind his back. His short black hair, which represented mystery, was fluttering in the wind. Like a black crown on his head, he is like a star The bright black eyes, like a god who controls all living things, are gazing at the majestic cityscape of Besuka City at the foot of the mountain. For some reason, Hu Keqili suddenly had an illusion, as if in this roaring world, the entire Gang Fei As if he was quietly stepping on his feet,

"Your Majesty, according to the news from the Lisbon Intelligence Department, the big smugglers have indeed begun to contact each other. They plan to shut down business in the Putao area in the next three days!" Hu Keqili said with a respectful calm. "The army Already prepared for this The person on standby next time is the 40,000-strong Saltonroder Southern Second Army, which is at odds with the Redian faction. As long as the other party starts to shut down, the army will confiscate all goods and property in the name of seizing smuggling, and the Imperial Navy will also It will completely cut off the retreat route by sea! "

"Oh, the other party finally couldn't help it anymore!" The young man came back to his senses from the window and smiled. "After raising them for two years, these guys have eaten so much here that they are so fat that they are so fat." I dare to reach out to the emperor for this time, I hope they won’t let me down! It’s not easy to have a good harvest!”

I watched Quan Guo today. It said that you can use the undo key to restore. I tried it. At the moment of restoring, I really wanted to say to myself, "You pig" (To be continued...)
