Law of the Devil Chapter 196: [This is called prestige! 】

Chapter 196 [This is called Prestige! 】

Different from Dewey's expectations.

He received a rare cold treatment along the way in Mulan City!

As the prince of his empire, he was favored by the regent, and he himself came from the famous Emperor Wuxun family. Wei sees himself), not to mention that Du Wei himself is a powerful magician.

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

But when we arrived at Mulan City, the convoy arrived at the gate of the city. The officer on the road who was on the road looked for a long time, but he did not see a man from the Governor's House of Nulinxing Province! Not even the lowest level receptionist!

This annoys the officer of the Imperial Army! Who are they? It is the pride of the sky, and the Royal Forest Army around the emperor! See the third level of the official university! Along the way, in addition to being extremely respectful of Du Wei, those local officials were also respectful and respectful of the Royal Forest Army. When did they receive such cold treatment?

Seeing that there is no reception official at the Governor's Palace at the gate, even the soldiers guarding the gate blocked the way and asked to see the customs clearance documents of our own ... Such a huge convoy and hundreds of regular guards, Naturally, you cannot just put it in the city.

Just as the officer of the Imperial Forest was about to get angry, Philip jumped down from Du Wei's carriage, walked to the officer of the Imperial Forest, and whispered a few words, then the officer furiously felt it out of his arms. The official document was thrown to the soldiers guarding the city.

"Look clearly! The badge on Laozi's armor!" the officer of the Imperial Forest yelled arrogantly.

Where do I know. The defending army of Mulan City thought it was tough, and gave a cold look at the Imperial Forest Army, and replied in a shameless manner: "It is because I see that you are the Imperial Forest Army, so I have to make a special inspection! If there is no order to leave the army without permission, , Vision and rebellion! Hum. "

The Yu Lin army ate, but due to Philip's order, Du Wei did not dare to get angry. He patiently waited for the other party to check the documents, and then vented and whipped his own horse. Then he took people to the city.

The soldier who guarded the city looked coldly, but mocked: "Well, those who come from the south don't know how to take care of horses. Those who don't care about their own horses are also worthy of cavalry."

This happened to be heard by Dewey in the carriage. He was silent and sighed a long time ago.

Yu Linjun, it is really unusable.

Perhaps their equipment is the best. The treatment is also the best, but ... this army of gold coins has always made Du Wei feel too fancy.

Originally, Dewey planned to find a way to leave the five hundred Royal Forest Army after he arrived in the northwest, but it seemed to him that the thought had been dispelled all the way. These proud forest guards. Not in Dewey's plan.

But Du Wei then smiled at Philip next to him: "It seems that this Governor-General Bonham seems not friendly to us."

Philip is also puzzled, although he is a young man who is optimistic about Dewey. But after all, there is no experience in politics. Although knowledge is good, there are some things that cannot be seen through now.

Du Wei already knew in his heart.

If you do n’t come to the northwest, here is the governor of the country, Northwest, who is in charge of the overall situation against the Northwest Army. And he came here ... What would Bohan think? He may think that the central government of the Empire did not trust himself! Send someone to share your power!

You know, although Bohan is nominally a governor of Nulin, but in fact. Du Wei had heard before that the two lords before Desa province had been driven by the Northwest Army. In such a chaotic situation, in fact, Governor Bonham was in command.

It ’s weird that this person who eats food is here, and they are willing to give themselves a good look!

The team entered Mulan City all the way, and Dewey sat in the carriage and looked out the window, all the way. Discover the capital city of Nulin Province. It is quite a climate for Bonham to govern. Bustling streets, pedestrians passing by. There is also a bustling business community.

A group of people crossed the street and went directly to the Governor's Mansion. On the way, they finally welcomed the people of the Governor's Mansion.

Several officials in charge of the Governor ’s House were on horseback (this sighed Dewey. It seems that in this place in the northwest, everyone can ride horses. Even the riding of these civilian officials seems quite equivalent. Skilled), blocking the road of Dewey and his team.

The coming person is very respectful to Du Wei, but the meaning in the words is worth thinking about.

"Master Duke, our governor has asked us to welcome the adults into the city, but this morning the governor's house is full of complicated affairs. This autumn's military and garrison deliveries were annoying. This delayed the time and asked the Lord Duke to redeem his sins. Leading the way, the Governor has already arranged the residence of the Duke, and the Magnolia City Mansion is in front ... "

Before saying this, Du Wei frowned slightly.

Administrative residence?

In the empire, the administrative mansion is the place where each local government is responsible for receiving official personnel from other areas. It is equivalent to the ancient Chinese posthouses, but the problem is that those places generally only accept some low-level officials. For a big man such as Dewey, where does the district official dare to let Dewey live in every place? This way, every time a city is visited, the local officials will choose the best place in the city for Dewey to live in, and even wait for Dewey to live in his own home.

However, this governor, Bonham, dared to do this kind of thing. Not only did he not come, he also left Du Wei directly to the administrative mansion!

What makes Du Wei frown is not that the conditions for abandoning the administrative mansion are not good. But he could not have imagined that the governor of Bonham was so bad to himself that he could save even his polite manners.

As a result, the people around Dewey are a little upset. Even the rookie in politics, Philip, felt a little too much, and the servants and soldiers under Dewey showed anger.

Du Wei thought about it. Suddenly laughed, then stepped out of the carriage, looked at the two Mulan City officials, the tone was very peaceful: "I wonder if the Governor is in the city now?"

The next one was about to answer, but the other one quietly pulled him, and said with a grin: "Master Duke, it's unfortunate that our governor left the city early this morning. The Northwest Army sent someone to pick up the autumn supplies. And there are several business groups on the steppe interracial, so the Governor is really inseparable ... "

Du Wei nodded, but sneered.

Out of town this morning?

Joke! I came along all the way, and every time I went there, the cavalry of his front strike station ran ahead to announce, and along the way, every time I stopped at a place. Those magistrates will also announce their next trip to the next place! According to this, the Governor must have known what happened yesterday.

In his current capacity, since he knew he was coming, he still chose to go out early this morning? Open your eyes nonsense!

Think of it here. Du Wei suddenly had an idea in her heart.

You want to hide from me? I just want to see you! Governor Bonham, although you have been successful in the Northwest for many years, this shelf is too big, right?

Then Du Wei simply ordered the people around him: "Everyone goes to the mansion with these two gentlemen to rest ... General Longbottom, Philip. You follow me to the Governor's House to see. People follow me! "

The faces of the two Mulan city officials changed, but Du Wei did not discuss with them at all, and directly ordered. He is the Duke of the Duke, how dare these two guys stop him? I had to obediently separate one person and lead the brigade to the mansion. The remaining one led the way and took Du Wei to the Governor's House.

This Governor's Mansion is located in the most central location of Magnolia City, with a typical northwestern architectural style. The shape is almost ugly but simple. Before the people approached, Du Wei felt a busy atmosphere in the Governor's House from afar. The busy officials in and out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion kept coming and going. There was a side door next to it, and there was a long queue, which made Du Wei look strange.

The people in the queue are all dressed in different ways. There are foreigners wearing leather robes, and some wearing southern silk robes. From their temperament. Probably all characters like businessmen. These people gathered at the side entrance of the Doge's Palace in a long queue. I don't know what to wait for.

Du Wei looked at the official who was leading the way. He didn't speak. The official discerned the color and immediately explained: "Sir, these are all people who travel to and from the business community. Come to the Governor's House to receive it. A quarter of the business share document. "

"Common business document?" Du Wei glanced at Philip behind in confusion, but the young man was also bewildered, and he didn't seem to know. After all, he had only been to Northwest China a few years ago.

"Yes." The official smiled. "This is a pioneering work of the Governor. The local governments of Nulin Province purchase a large amount of land and materials every year. They have supplemented the Northwest Army ’s military resources and also required local officials. Grain, as well as various official goods. The purchase of these things comes from the private sector. Later, the Governor came up with this method to allow these business groups to be distributed. At the beginning of each year, these business groups will send people to Go to Mulan City for a fight, and then our governor will select the business groups with the best reputation and the lowest bids, and give them comprador power, which saves us a lot of trouble, and the things we buy every year are cheap and good. Save a lot of financial expenses. And the people you see in the queue are scattered small business teams, they have no strength to participate in the competition at the beginning of each year, but the Governor has also deliberately allocated some procurement shares, as long as these merchants Spend money to buy ... Summer is about to pass now. These businessmen are all fighting for the share of autumn. In recent days, the people in the Financial Secretary of the Governor's House have been busy. Foot overturned it. "

It doesn't matter if you don't listen. This hearing immediately shocked Du Wei!

This Governor's approach ... In Dewey's view, it is almost the kind of extremely advanced financial means that he knew in previous lives: bidding! !!

As soon as he entered the Governor's Mansion, the official immediately sent someone to report it. Du Wei looked in his eyes, but did not stop, but just looked at the style of the Governor's Man with a casual look.

Obviously, this governor has a very good habit: save!

The seat of a provincial highest administrative body, this governor's office is far less than the style of the defensive government in some cities that Du Wei has come all the way! There is no gorgeous decoration in the yard. Only the busy officials who came and went, and those standing soldiers stood upright. Even if Du Wei and his team passed by them, they did not squint.

This official led Dewey in, but the expression on his face was very awkward. He seemed to deliberately delay time and slowly led Dewey around the governor's house. How did Dewey not know? Don't pierce him.

Finally. A man in the service of a low-level official rushed ahead and hurriedly whispered a few words to this guy. The official's face became increasingly ugly, and he turned to salute Du Wei, grinning: "Master Duke ... our governor The grown-up just happened to be back, but he is now talking with several leaders of the Northwestern Interracial Business Group. See? Did you sit in the lounge of the Governor's House first? Ah, yes! You must not have tasted it yet. Our specialty of Mulan City, Sha honey? I'll send it to you. "

Durvey did not drink such a thing as Sand Bee, but he was an learned pharmacist. How did he not know such a thing? It is nothing more than a bee growing in the drought-stricken land of the Northwest, collecting nectar from local special plants such as cactus.

"No, I'll go to meet the Governor directly. Well, is he seeing the leader of the Northwest Interregional Business Association? So right. I'm about to take office in Desa province, which is the closest to the northwest , It's good to meet those guys now. "

"But ..." What this official was about to say, Du Wei's face sank, and he looked at the guy coldly. Where did he dare to say anything, he coughed hard, and let the guy around him go to report quickly. He was bitter, and slowly led Du Wei into it.

Walking to the innermost part of the Governor's Mansion, there is a hall in front of it, but the door is closed, and there are several armed guards standing in the distance. The accompanying officials hurried up to block it.

He is full of big guys. Suddenly I saw the guy he just sent to report. He waited anxiously outside the door with a look of anxiety. The guy smiled bitterly at the official: "The Lord Governor left an order before entering, and no one is allowed to enter. I've been waiting here for a long time, and the guards will not let me in to report."

Du Wei ignored these people and walked in. The two guards standing at the door looked at Du Wei's style, hesitated, or stepped forward to stop, Longbottom had already run over, one Push away one and sighed coldly: "Let's go! Do you dare to stop Lord Duke!"

The duke's title flinched the two guards. After all, from the perspective of the entire continent, those who have the title of "Duke" are rare, and they just pull out one. They are all big men with heavy power in their hands, but they can't offend such small guards.

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

"You sly Rolandians, do you think our prairie people are so confused! Tell you, Lord Governor, if you don't promise us to trade today, then we will bring someone to take it!"

With the voice, there was a rattling sound, it seemed that some weapon cut the table.

Du Wei winked at Long Barton, Long Barton nodded, opened his voice and shouted loudly: "Damn, it is the tribe king **** who dared to spread wild here! Lao Tzu has been away for a few years, your gang of king eight The courage of the egg is getting bigger! "

After speaking, Longbottom lifted one foot and knocked the door over, then walked in with a big swing.

Du Wei followed in, and saw in the middle of the hall, a handsome, middle-aged man sitting behind the desk, wearing a uniform of the Empire Governor, with a document on the left and a flat on the right. Holding a long sword.

There are three other guys in the prairie who serve in the prairie. One of them is extremely burly, with a full face and a weird hairstyle. His head is shaved all around, leaving only a sky in the middle. The whip, under his leather robe, was covered with a piece of leather. At the moment he was full of arrogance and anger, holding a sharp machete in his hand, and in front of him was a table that had been cut into two sections.

These three prairie men are full of embarrassed faces, holding their chins and waiting for the person behind the desk. The man with the machete was full of intimidation. The machete was still slightly imaginary in his hand, and the shining light of the sword reflected on his face, adding a little bit of sorrow.

And the man sitting behind the desk is naturally the legendary Governor Bonham. Facing the three outrageous aliens, he looks calm and looks coldly, standing in front of himself, holding a bend. Guy with a knife.

Obviously, Longbottom broke in. The two sides seemed to be talking about what happened. Those aliens on the grassland were brutal, and immediately pulled out their knives to intimidate.

But Longbottom's intrusion disrupted it all. Governor Bonham, sitting behind his desk, immediately sank, and yelled, "Who!"

Du Wei took two steps, looked at Bohan far away and smiled, "Master, it's not easy to meet you. I'm Du Wei-Rudolph."

Bohan raised an eyebrow. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Lombaton stared at the alien with a knife: "Which tribe are you from?"

Looking at Longbottom, the tyrannical alien was about to make his hair flirt, but stared at Longbottom a few times, looking upright, and suddenly he looked like a ghost. With a loose hand, the knife also fell to the ground, staring at Longbottom with his mouth wide open: "You, you, you ... Mossack! Mossack is back!"

The two aliens behind him look older, but look at Long Barton's expression. Even more exciting, one of them was even scared as if shaking.

Lombaton snorted coldly, "You recognize me!"

The arrogant big man was stunned by his eyes and stepped back involuntarily: "Master Mosak ... I, I, I am from the Bilun tribe ... I, I ..."

Before he finished speaking, Long Button suddenly went up, kicked his leg and kicked him fiercely on the guy's stomach. Poor this burly man, was kicked down. But it seems that he dare not hide. Longbottom went up and held him by the neck again and lifted him, throwing up his hand, this big man was thrown directly into the yard by Longbottom.

"What were you doing just now! Damn! I just left Northwest for a few years. Do you guys forget Lao Tzu's rules! Dare to shine a knife here!"

Long Barton looked coldly at the remaining two guys.

One of them is not shaking, the other can barely speak, and quickly distinguishes: "Master Mosak ... I don't dare. But, just ..."

"What ass! If you can't speak. Just cut your tongue. Go back and find a talking person!" Longbatton stared, and the guy almost softened. But the conversation was a lot smoother at once: "No ... Dear Master Mosak, we are not convinced! The Governor buys our Horde war horses every year, but this year his price made us unacceptable! Three thousand good horses , He only bids 20,000 gold coins! Isn't each of our tribe's top horses worth ten gold coins? "

Lombaton sneered: "How much do you want?"

"Four ... four thousand."

"Get off your mother's egg!" Longbatten scolded, and then said fiercely: "Go back and tell your leader! Ten thousand gold coins! Four thousand horses! Here are ten days for you! One less Root horse hair, I will take someone to pick it up! "

This alien almost didn't cry.

10,000 gold coins? Four thousand horses? This sale is a big loss!

But he hasn't spoken yet, Longbottom frowned: "I'm finished talking, what are you doing here! Will I wait for you to eat? Get off!"

Finally, "get away", immediately let these two guys be pardoned. How dare you say half a word? Repeatedly promised to come down, and then rushed away.

Du Wei sighed.

Damn ... that's called prestige! At that time, the two hundred and fifty-five generals in northwestern China really deserved their reputation!
