Law of the Devil Chapter 290: [Good weight stick]

Chapter 290 [Heavy Stick]

Du Wei frowned, and could not help but wonder.

Dedicate yourself to diligence, steal or steal! For his credit in the northwest, before he had been rewarded by Prince Chen, he was in charge of negotiating with the prairie people, and he gained a lot of benefits. There were also 20,000 cavalry who withdrew and gained 6,000 elites. These have already been regarded as rewards.

But today, I came here as soon as I returned to the emperor ... His Royal Highness Chen, he ...

Well, yes!

Du Wei raised his eyebrows!

The regent gave him such a big face. Then, when he asks anything, he will be embarrassed to refute his face! This guy ... I'm already engaged, wouldn't he still want to marry me?

If not a marriage, what would he ask for?

Du Wei thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out, so he just stopped thinking about it, anyway, he had already returned to the imperial capital, and the next step was to take a step and look at it.

No words all night. In the early morning the following day, a servant came to report that it was the head of the shop of the Emperor's Store, Zach, who sent someone to invite Dewey over.

The servant who came to report said that he was still a little bit shocked. Although everyone knows that this little Zach is a very trusted Du Wei, responsible for the Lord's business in the capital. However, the Lord Duke returned to the capital this time. Instead of immediately coming to meet him, the head of Zac, he just sent someone to let Du Wei pass. This was really rude.

But Du Wei didn't mind it at all. He knew that this little Zach was a business wizard, and he always did things like this. There must be a reason he didn't come to see himself, and Dewey was not the kind of person who demanded politeness.

I went to my shop immediately in the morning.

The little guy Zuck picked up by Du Wei, in the past two years can be described as an ups and downs in the emperor. He was born with an exquisite temperament, and worked among the many emperors in the emperor. The land is the Duke of Tulips, and naturally respects him by three points. Moreover, this Zack ghost has many ideas, and every time he comes up with some money-making tricks. Dewey's business in the imperial capital was extremely prosperous. Although it was not Rijinjin, it was also full of platinum. Even the Delan Mountain Warcraft was envious. If it wasn't because of Dewey's face, this Deerland Warcraft would have been secretly digging the wall.

Before going out, some people reported that they wanted the steward of the count. There are about a dozen people from the Dean Mountain Warcraft house, as well as Camisiro, the head of the Metropolitan Security Department, the Baron Sack of the Financial Secretary, and several military generals. They sent someone to send invitations early in the morning, and wanted to invite the Duke of Tulips to dinner.

Du Wei frowned as soon as he heard it. If it is Earl of Villa or Deer Mountain Warcraft, please ask yourself. After all, these two guys are closer to themselves and come back to the emperor. It is not surprising that the other party invited itself. Is that Camisiro a good friend? It is not surprising ... But why do other people, such as Baron Sack and those in the military, invite themselves? ?

I was still so anxious that I came back one night and sent all the invitations early the next morning. Seems to be impatient.

What makes Du Wei even more suspicious. Of the more than a dozen invitations received, half of them were not the subordinates of Emperor Chen, but the heads and brains of the neutrals from the former emperor's capital, and they did not have much friendship .

Du Wei groaned for a while, and rashly refused. After all, in this powerful circle, if he refused. Can't help offending people. Think about it. Let people reply to the managers of those dozens of houses and tell them. That is to say, the Duke of Tulips thank you all for your good intentions, and decided to entertain the distinguished guests at the Tulip House's industry banquet tonight.

Since you can't go to the banquet one by one, it's better to invite these people into a brain. Anyway, Du Wei's business in the Imperial City is getting bigger and bigger, in addition to the original shop size has doubled several times, there are a lot of hotels and other real estate industries. After all, Xiao Zak started out as a hotel business, and he is also a veteran in the restaurant industry.

After being replied, Du Wei took a few guards and rode to see Zach.

Of course, when you return to the capital, you will naturally go to see Prince Chen, the regent. It is just that His Highness is no better than before. He is the Regent of the Empire. Although Du Wei is popular, it is not easy to go directly to the Royal Palace. According to the decree of the empire, all the powerful people who have been recalled to the emperor's capital must first send people to the palace in accordance with regulations, and then wait for the emperor's call.

Du Wei wanted to understand what most of the Emperor Chen had in mind last night. Although the carrot was eaten, it is time to drop the stick. Du Wei does not have the habit of finding his own sins. Dude, of course, Du Wei will not take the initiative to come to the door, just waiting for the regent to call.

Du Wei's real estate industry was originally on the most prosperous street in the capital. Emperor is the largest city on the mainland, and the business is extremely developed, especially the five or six intersecting streets located in the center of the city. It has formed a business circle similar to the previous world of Dewey, various business shops, hotels, and so on. Gathered here, there are more than a dozen business groups in the south and north kings, and the most prosperous.

Du Wei ’s original business is on one of the streets. After two years of operation by Zach, the scale has more than tripled, and the original shop has been left and right, and it has been spent. Qian bought two original local hotels on this street, and the scale became one.

Du Wei went out lightly, and had no pomp, so he rode on horseback with several guards following him. Wandering all the way to the most prosperous area of ​​the imperial capital. The place is bustling and there are naturally many people on the street. It's just that everyone saw Du Wei and his team wearing Chinese clothes and were imposing, and were followed by those mighty guards. Ordinary people did not dare to approach Du Wei. So Du Wei came along. There was nothing crowded.

When he finally came to the street of the tulip home industry, Du Wei found that he had done a good job in the year and a half since he left the imperial capital. Such a long street, almost half of it, has changed. Became the property of the tulip family.

Lao Yuan saw the shop where he was originally from, and the doorway was three times as large. The door was extremely magnificent. Even the place where the carriage is parked next to it has expanded a lot. Although it was early in the morning, Yuanyuan saw several gorgeous carriages parked there, and apparently there was a business in the morning.

Du Wei came to the door and dismounted. Someone who had recognized Du Wei quickly greeted him. There are many newcomers in this shop, but seeing Dewey's dress and posture, who can't guess Dewey's identity? Everyone hurried to salute each other, Du Wei went in by himself, it seemed all the way. The layout here is very different from when I left the ground. The waiters and grooms are obviously trained strictly. Although their arrival caused some shock, they were not shocked. Most of them Respectfully after the salute. They are all busy and have not messed up their duties.

After seeing the little Zach, Du Wei almost didn't laugh. I haven't seen it for more than a year. This guy I picked up myself looks like a monkey. She actually wore a white leather robe like a decent white bearskin, obviously from the northern frozen forest. Although her appearance is a little ugly, she looks very spirited after being dressed up. There was also a little less frivolity at the time, a little more steady.

Remembering that he met this guy at the beginning, he also sneakily recommended to him what "golden service package". Du Wei couldn't help laughing.

"My boss, I haven't seen you for more than a year, but you look very energetic!" Little Zach looked anxious, without the kind of free-spirited and unobtrusive bending that he had before. salute. Du Wei glanced at him, walked inside with a big grin, looked at the house, and laughed: "Dear Zach. You look good, too. For more than a year. You did a good job, I'm satisfied. "

Zack was originally Du Wei's digging out of the grassroots class. Although these days have mixed up with the powerful circles and behaved in a more standard manner, in private, they still show their original shape. But today, this guy has a bitter look, and his brows are full of anxiety, and his manners are much more respectful. He frowned and said, "My boss, don't you laugh and laugh ... for a while, maybe you will shoot at the table and curse us Let ’s talk about it first, you wo n’t be allowed to hit my board for a while! Let ’s not cut me with a knife! ”

After speaking, he looked around as if subconsciously. Du Wei swept the room and found that there wasn't even a knife here, and even the small knife for cutting fruits that had been on the table was put away.

Du Wei frowned: "Say, what the **** is going on? You're so big now, but let my boss come to see you."

"I can't walk away." Zack blinked: "Look, there is a big event at noon today. I would like to see you last night ... but ... Well, these words are one or two words It ’s not clear, just sit down and listen to me slowly, just ask you to be calm and do n’t make a fuss with me for a while.

After the laugh, he sank, and then came over and lowered his voice, "My Duke ... It's a real time for you to come back. In these two days, the imperial capital is almost noisy. This is not me Recently, I just got a few rare goods and are preparing to auction them here. The news was sent out. As a result, our auction house's admission tickets have been fried with a hundred gold coins! Especially a few VIP tickets, especially I broke my head. I'm afraid there's no such number on the outside market, so don't even think about getting one. "Then, Zach stretched out five fingers.

"Five hundred coins?"

"Five thousand!" Little Zach rolled his eyes.

Du Wei was startled.

Due to auctioning this kind of thing, Du Wei slightly mentioned some rules, and then Zach took advantage of his clever talent to get up in the imperial capital. Every rare commodity, if it was released, the imperial capital of this capital You have to buy it, and you have to buy it. Everyone has a lot to offer, but after all, there are only one or two such limited items, and it is not good to reject anyone. Simply use the rules of the auction to get the highest price. In this way, it is not offenders, and often these rich and powerful people will fry the price several times in order to save face when auctioning. Make little Zach earn a smile.

The auction of this strange stuff is also very popular in the Imperial City. Often a rare piece of goods, the news spread, the tulip home's auction tickets will sell for high prices.

But ...

"What bizarre treasure have you made this time, how can the admission ticket price be so high?" Du Wei frowned.

Little Zack shook his head: "The things in this auction are relatively expensive, but it is absolutely impossible to make such a momentum. Only because of the things we are auctioning this time. One thing is not We own it, but someone else sent it for auction here. The business belongs to the business. Since this year, I have ordered the auction house to accept the lot here. According to the rules, we can draw half of the proceeds from the final auction. This business is making a lot of money. But this time it's causing trouble. "

"What the **** did you shoot?"

Listened to Du Wei's question. Little Zack's face became weird, with a grin on his face, and he whispered, "The auction ... is not something, but a promise!"

"Promise?" Dewey frowned.

Small Zack sighed: "This matter has suddenly spread to the ground in recent days, and I wanted to inform you as soon as I got the news. But you are already on the road, although I sent someone to hurry to find you on the road , But I missed it on the way. I had the heart to meet you last night, but when you came back last night. A dozen big people went to greet you, and then accompanied you back, so many outsiders were present, I It ’s not easy for you to talk about this. I had to wait until early this morning ... "

Du Wei shook his head: "No need to explain, you say it quickly, what happened?"

Little Zach smiled bitterly: "Is it something to talk about ten days ago ..."

Later, Dewey heard something from Zach. The more I frowned, the more I heard.

It turned out that ten days ago, Little Zach had already released news and was preparing for the monthly auction.

At that time, something happened that wasn't too big or small.

It turned out that in the winter of this year, a province in the south of the empire suddenly suffered a snow disaster. The climate of the mainland was cold in the north and hot in the south, and it rarely snowed in the south. This southern winter snows. Although it is abnormal, it is not unprecedented. Suffered a snowstorm. This matter is not big or small. The official capital of the imperial capital is naturally responsible for government affairs for disaster relief.

Only, it happens to be an annual. The bishop of the eight major dioceses of the Bright Temple of the Mainland resigned to the Temple of the Emperor. The pope, who has been living in the temple for many years, is said to have heard that the southern province suffered a snow disaster and believers in the parish. Life was difficult, and His Majesty the Pope, who was compassionate, immediately issued a doctrine, exempting the parish from a year of religious and contribution taxes.

This matter is big or small. However, His Majesty the Pope took the initiative to make such a good move, and many of the wealthy and wealthy believers in the religion also came to make fun, and many nobles have donated their belongings.

This incident was raging in the imperial capital for a few days, but in the end there was an embarrassing situation: in the temple, under the call of the pope, it actually raised millions of gold coins. For one thing, the Pope's appeal is strong, but for the rich believers below ... Secondly, I am afraid that some of them are behind the scenes.

At this time, there was a surly rumor in the imperial capital, only that the regent ordered the Financial Secretary to raise gold coins in the disaster area, which was just over thirty gold coins. On the order of the Pope, three million were obtained. It can be seen that the prestige of the Pope is much higher than that of His Highness the Regent.

In this, there is a faint meaning of comparing divine power and imperial power to appeal and prestige.

Such rumors are naturally ulterior motives. But the reality before us is that the divine power seems to have overpowered the imperial power.

For a moment, the prestige of the temple was naturally high, and the Regent seemed to have some light on his face.

The battle between the imperial family and the temple has been going on for a long time. The pope's high-profile behavior this time is not in line with the low-key style of this mysterious old guy who has been living in abundance over the years.

After all, in the circle of imperial capitals, everyone is old fritters, and many people smell a little bit.

Only, however, in this competition, the Regent seemed to be very low-key. He did not compete with the temple. He was full of enthusiasm and the royal family kept silent.

It was originally. According to the normal trajectory, there are such rumors on the market. If the powerful people are smart, they will naturally not continue to dig out their pockets to send money to the temple. Otherwise, the more money the temple raises, it is not just playing. Is the regent's face?

It's weird that things happened here!

After the rumor came out. The place where the original materials were collected in the temple can also be said to be "lively", but this rumor has been aroused. Not only did those who donate money, but it suddenly increased overnight!

This phenomenon is extremely abnormal!

It is said that in the past few days, the people outside the temple obeyed His Majesty's call to donate money. Almost lined up and sent two streets away! The crowds are raging, and even the temple has sent the Holy Knights to maintain order!

The original number of three million gold coins doubled in less than two days!

In this way, everyone under the Pope's appeal was astonished. On the other hand, the regent who seems to be more and more royal seems to be a little bit bleak ...

"Are these rich people in the Imperial Capital blind and deaf?" Du Wei frowned: "It was clear that someone was helping the flames, and Mingli was supporting the Pope, secretly undermining the regent's face! It was already very obvious. .The wealthy people in the capital are not afraid to offend the royal family? How dare you go to such a lively event?

Little Zack shook his head: "My Duke ... You are wrong! It's weird that most of those who went to the temple to donate money were not rich people in the capital. I sent someone to ask Most of them are accented in other places, as if they are all from the south ... I do n’t know why there are so many southerners in the emperor recently, it seems that these people have brought huge sums of money. They ran to The imperial capital came and left after donating money ... This thing is very obvious. It is clear that it is deliberately sweeping the royal family's face.

"Southerners?" Du Wei sneered: "Why would there be so many wealthy merchants from the south to donate money? Obviously someone was organized on purpose!"

"No," Xiao Zak laughed. "You came back two days late. If you come back two days early, you can see the excitement. A few days ago, there were crowds outside the temple. Ah! "

Du Wei shook his head and asked, "What about the royal family? How did the royal family react?"

"It just didn't respond. That's why it was strange." Little Zach smiled wryly. "Even the idiot can see that the temple deliberately provoked the royal family and did so obviously. It was with His Majesty the Pope The calmness shown over the years is greatly inconsistent! What is weird is that our regent has always said nothing and has no reaction to this matter. And ... "

"And what?"

"Also, don't you find it strange? If you want to talk more than money, is the regent afraid of the temple here? Don't say anything, just let the two of Delan Mountain Warcraft and Earl Villa casually. Throwing millions of gold coins is nothing, right? If the royal family is going to fight, millions of gold coins will still be taken out. The strange thing is that the regent did not speak. The rich man didn't speak. "

Du Wei was full of doubts.

This thing is so obvious ... If it is a plot against the royal family, then this plot is too clumsy. The Temple of Light, well, why did you suddenly use this to attack the royal family? It does not seem that the pope must suddenly challenge the authority of the regent, right?

Um ... people from the south ...

Is it Yeni?

Why did the Yenipa do this? What good would it do to provoke the royal family and deliberately let go of that rumor, apart from offending the royal family?

Du Wei set aside these questions and said, "Well, what does this have to do with today's auction?"

"Just two days ago, someone came to us and delivered a lot." Zack's face was very ugly: "Guess, who sent this lot?"

"... Who?"

"The temple!" Zack's face was bitter: "The Lord judged the Lord in the temple, came here in person, and sent a copy of the decree signed by His Holiness the Pope! This decree is stored here. This The decree is one of this lot! For this lot, the emperor has almost turned over for two days!

The decree of His Majesty ’s land is very clear. This thing is put up for auction here. All the money obtained from the auction will be used for disaster relief in the south. The law of this auction is a promise signed by the Pope: whoever gets the promise, gets the promise. If he has a child, His Majesty the Pope promises to personally enter into baptism for him, and to accept his own godson, and personally serve as the godfather of the child! Three teachings and nine streams, no matter what the other party's identity is, this promise is valid! "

With this remark, even Du Wei couldn't sit still.

The Pope presides over the baptism initiation ceremony? What kind of treatment is this?

Every generation of His Holiness the Pope will never give any ordinary person an initiation baptism! !! The only one who can enjoy the baptism of the Pope himself. Can only be the emperor of the empire! The only emperor!

The Roland Empire has been established for more than 960 years, and the Light Temple has been established for 960 years. This example has never been broken! It is definitely not allowed to be broken!

Even ... in some ways, this has almost become the standard for an emperor's legitimacy!

Unconsciously, people have even erected the idea that if there is no Baptism under the leadership of the Pope, then this emperor is not legal!

On the other hand, as the supreme master of the temple of light, the pope must not be baptized casually!

This is the iron law! !!

"Is Her Majesty Pope crazy?" Du Wei suddenly jumped up, "What the **** does this old **** stick go crazy?"

This is provocation! Naked provocation! Provocation to Imperial Power! !!

Du Wei was pale. Suddenly staring at Zack, he said angrily, "Are you stupid! You dare to take this kind of thing !!!"

Zack's face turned discolored and shouted, "God! My Duke! I'm not a fool! Zach is not a fool! Do you think I know how important it is? Do you think I dare to take it? But the question is On that day, the judge of the temple came with the Pope ’s decree personally. Standing in front of me, facing the Pope ’s decree, how could you tell me to say a 'no' in person? I am not you, you are Duke. But I ’m just a little general manager. In the face of a pope-level character, how do I refuse? How can I refuse? If I do n’t answer, I have to answer !!! ”

Du Wei thought about it, indeed ... Facing the Pope ’s laws, it ’s really hard to refuse. I ’m afraid that even if he ’s himself, if the Pope ’s intentions are personal. You ca n’t refuse to meet in person, at most, it ’s Yang Fengyin, but it ’s impossible to say no in person.

On the entire continent, who can say "No" to Her Majesty? ?

"Say it again." Zack had a bitter look: "After receiving this thing that day, I immediately sent someone out of the Imperial City. At that time, you should already be on the road to the Imperial City! I will send someone halfway to find You ... haven't you met? "

Du Wei's heart grew darker. Forget the days. Two days ago?

Well, that's exactly what happened after he saved Maximus on the river! Is it Yeni faction?

"The person you sent to me. I didn't meet." He quickly asked again: "What about Prince Chen? What did the regent say after he heard the news?"

Zack had a weird look, and then smiled bitterly: "Just last night, I was going to see you in the middle of the night ... but just in the middle of the night, a court messenger came to the palace, found me in person, and gave me A regent ’s order, and then ... "

"Then what?"

"Then take this lot, which is the Pope's own promise."

Du Wei heard this, as if he was punched on his face, and suddenly furious: "Take it away?!"

He came up in anger, slammed the table with a slam, and the man jumped up, angrily, "Zach! Why did you tell me such an important thing now! Why didn't you come here last night? Tell me !!! "

"I think so." Zack shook his head. "Yesterday, someone came to the court and dragged me here. I was going out to meet you. There was a messenger in the court, so I went straight to see you. Once I was there, then two court emissaries, one of whom was a court magician, stood beside me, staring at me inseparably! Just forbid me to notify you ... Where can I do what I can slip away? Don't say me I slipped away, and a magician sat beside me all night, without leaving my eyes for a while, and even someone went to the toilet! Even if I wanted to send someone secretly ... they wouldn't let me talk to anyone! I ca n’t even send someone to send you a letter! "

Du Wei nodded, he was a little strange at first, why the master returned to the capital. Zach, as his number one chief executive in the Imperial City, did not show up all night and did not meet him.

"Until this morning, the court's talent told me that I could send someone to invite you over. I don't understand what the regent is doing. I had to send someone to the Duke's House to ask you. Just Just now, the people in the court were still here! It was just that their forefoot had just left, and your hind foot came. I guess most of them are someone who has been watching the wind on the street. "

A pause. Zach smiled bitterly: "I also sent someone to inform you two days ago and wanted to quickly inform you of this important matter. I will let the passenger boat go along the canal and I will always meet you. But on the way, you didn't even meet the person I sent to the messenger. Most of the people I sent to the messenger were also intercepted. It's just that the person who intercepted was the royal family or the temple. /

Du Wei calmed down little by little.

It seems that Prince Chen intentionally did so.

Your Highness. I deliberately blocked the news and did not let myself know about these things along the way. Until I returned to the imperial capital, I now don't know ... what is the intention?

When I arrived in the capital last night, I greeted them with my Count Villa. Not even a word. Obviously, it was also obtained by Prince Chen!

His Royal Highness, deliberately sent himself to the capital. Only this morning did I suddenly know about this event ... for what? Suddenly? So what's the point?

Looking at Du Wei in deep contemplation, Zack smiled wryly: "My landlord. Now it's not thinking about these issues, the imminent question is ... the auction will take place at noon! But the emperor Chen took this one. We sent someone to take the lot last night! What will we do when we have no money in the auction for a while? Your Highness Chen, did you intentionally rectify you?

Du Wei frowned ... Prince Chen deliberately straightened himself? It shouldn't, after all, when he came back last night, he showed all kindness to himself. It is another triumph to greet and give away the old house. There is no reason to deliberately frame yourself today.

Take away the Pope ’s decree. It is in the interest of the royal family to make the auction impossible, but there is no reason to embarrass yourself?

With a long sigh, Du Wei finally cleared his thoughts: "I see ..."

He rubbed the muscles on his face, and sighed helplessly: "The meaning of His Highness is obvious ... He deliberately sent someone to take this thing from you before the auction, but he didn't want to let the lot fall. In the hands of anyone! His meaning is obvious: make sure that this thing doesn't fall into anyone's hands! Don't let the Pope's promise be honored to anyone! "

"What shall we do then? At the auction site ..."

"This is what we need to figure out for ourselves." Du Wei sighed: "Speaking of it, the only way is ... we pay for this thing by ourselves! In the auction, no matter how high the price is shouted . No matter how much it costs. We have to pay for it on the spot! "

Mommy, at your own auction house. Pay for it yourself ...

Zac froze for a moment, but after all he is also a wise man, his eyes lit up: "I see! This must be what the Regent meant! But, why did n’t he discuss it with you again? Do? Instead, take the things first, and I won't let you know if I don't let you know ... "

He didn't give me a chance to slip my head. Du Wei snorted, sneering in his heart: The prince Chen seemed to know himself very well. He was worried that he would not do such a thing as a fledgling bird, so he simply took it away! Force yourself to do this!

Prince Chen took the pope's decree, he would never admit that he took it! If at the auction, someone else photographed something and couldn't take out the goods themselves, they would be charged with "losing the pope's decree". In order not to bear the charge, I can only take pictures of myself! But as a result, Dewey himself became the first bird to get the Pope's promise!

Due to Du Wei's style, he would never stand on the cusp of such a blast! Therefore, Prince Regent Wang Chen simply kept doing it, and played it first, forcing himself to do so!

Du Wei sighed: Last night I was still worried that this carrot was eaten, I don't know what big stick will fall.

It looks like today ... it's not too light!
