Power and Empire Chapter 633: Angry Blood (5)

633 Anger and Blood (5)

No. 66, Duke Avenue, Riwading City, this Buick-style building at the corner of the crossroads is the residence of the Horelle family, one of the twelve executive deacons of the business alliance. The smooth, mirror-like marble door is ten meters long and wide. Above, there are six griffon reliefs carved with griffin heads and lion bodies. On the top, there is a shield-shaped coat of arms with a long sword inserted into the handle.

The sculpture curves are gorgeous, the thick and steady limbs and the flamboyant eagle feathers complement each other, just like the Swadian knight’s traditional self-metaphor of the golden lion, the German warriors use crossed battle axes to show their bravery, and the Kujit rangers use the wolf head as a battle. The flag, the agile and magnificent flying griffon, is the emblem of the Vekia knight.

The ancestor of the Horelle family is a prestigious Viking Griffon rider, who killed several barbarian generals in the war to open up southern Xinjiang, and was given the title of a member of the Jivadin region by the Vikia royal family. Lord, this is a family known for its keen eyes. There are many unique talents among the past patriarchs.

After Samor took control of Zivadin, the sharp-eyed Herrel family quickly grasped the pulse of the times and became one of the first aristocrats to transform from a traditional aristocratic manor economy to a commercial economy.

Through several years of development, with the rapid expansion of Samor’s power and the unique advantages of the Jivadin region, the Horelle family, once known as the famous southern door, has once again become one of the great merchants in Jivadin, especially It is a ship leasing program in cooperation with the military, which makes the family's reputation that has been eager to expand the scope to reach a peak that has never been reached

As a high-ranking authority, the mansion of the grand deacon of the business alliance in charge of the Southern Sea Trade,

On the occasion of the upcoming deacon meeting, outside the gate that should have been busy, there was a cold voice at this moment. The thick black door with ornate reliefs was tightly closed. Even in the bright sunshine, it reflects the dark and cold luster,

Passengers pass by in a hurry, and occasionally, they will hear a low sigh in the crowd. I swept the once glorious mansion in front of me with a pitiful and regrettable look

At this moment, in the deep hall of the courtyard, the atmosphere is equally dull and depressing. Old Horelle sits on Yu Nanmu's seat in the center of the hall, with a slightly cloudy eyeball, carefully examining the list in his hand, and occasionally flashes it. With a chilling light, his face turned blue and white. This is a sign of overwork.

"Hope the rumors are false, otherwise..."

After reviewing the list in his hand, the old Horelles put it down very cautiously as if carrying a piece of coal, his dry and cracked mouth was muttering to himself, and his skinny fingers rubbed lightly and felt pain. In the temples, raised a little pale head, and silently nodded to the butler who had been waiting next.

"Let’s start, let all the people above the Deacon of the South come in"

"Yes, sir!"

The butler turned a little gloomy and pushed open the closed hall door behind him,

"Cracking" with the sound of dragging and friction, the closed heavy door opened, and a ray of golden sunlight shone in from the opening and closing of the door, making a bright and dark scratch on the gloomy ground.

The door was already full. There were hundreds of people standing in the small courtyard in front of them. When they saw the old housekeeper coming out from inside, they all raised their heads, and the darkness was overwhelming.

"Holas, Horekusa..." The butler read the list in his hand, and the people who were named filed into the hall. Most of them were energetic young people. They were not soldiers, but they were neat and tidy. Standing there gives people a sense of vigor, as if there are active factors in the air

Horelle's vicissitudes of eyes swept across the faces of these family elites, and he secretly felt that if he was 20 years younger, he would not need to hear a bit of trouble, just like a frightened bird, facing the blood and blood of the Kujites. , And the unchanging spirit has been consumed a lot in the past few years of business career,

"Sit down all"

Horelle waved his hand to these young people who were named, his face slightly pale and iron, finally recovered some of his looks,

These are the backbone of the Horelle family. It is these young people who have propped up the business kingdom of the Horelle family. With the expansion of the family trading network, the Horelle family has established Swadian has established branches in China, and these elites cultivated for many years are the pillars of building the South China Sea business plan.

In May, when the South China Sea returned to warmth, the ports of Salad were lifted. It was the time when the South Sea Trade was showing its strengths. If it was a last resort, Horelle was unwilling to transfer all these backbones back, just this one. In the world for more than ten days, I am afraid that the family’s loss is more than 40,000 gold coins, but the eyebrows are burnt, and I can’t control that much.

This storm came too suddenly, almost without any signs, but it was a hurricane that was enough to destroy everything. Eberron’s garrison lost 500 infantry crossbows, which was originally responsible for the southern sea trade. There is no intersection in the Herrel family,

However, there was news that the 500 infantry crossbows lost this time had been privately transported to Salander in the southern waters, and it was the Herrel family who was in charge of the southern sea trade that handled this matter.

This is definitely the framing of the Pollock family. The veteran Horelles’ first thought when he heard the news was this. As a big figure in southern trade, one was in charge of sea trade and the other was in charge of land. Trade is originally a rival of each other, but it is too disgusting to resort to this kind of indiscriminate means of slandering

But soon there is new information coming,

The Kingdom Supervision Department, which has always been known for its cruelty and ruthlessness, has followed up on this matter, and the veteran of the Eberron garrison, known as the last knight, Caesar Sauron, has also been relegated to Zhiva because of this incident. Sheriff Ding,

This can be regarded as a major event that shocked the entire Wikiah. Even Caesar Sauron, who has been relied on as a right-hand man from the Falcon era, has been punished so unfairly for this. The Duke’s anger over this matter can be imagined, followed by the replacement of the commander of the Zivadin garrison

This series of actions at the Duke of Kea’s mansion made Horele, who had always been calm, unable to sit still. Caesar Sauron’s demotion was enough to let everyone who might be involved in this matter know that these five hundred lost The crossbow, like a big rock thrown into a small water pool, is not only charming, but also a giant of family destruction*

This unexpected incident completely disrupted the Horelle family’s plan. Originally, he planned to use the growing momentum of the South China Sea Trade to strive to raise his rank as the deacon of the business alliance from fifth to fifth. Fourth,

Comparing one's own old rival, the Pollock family, which is responsible for the southern inland trade, is a major event to enhance the family's reputation. The ranking of the deacons often determines the prestige and influence of the deacon's family.

But now, although there is nothing too obvious, according to the latest news, the Grand Duke of Falcon will attend the deacon meeting in mid-June in person. This is a major event that shakes the entire business alliance.

At this moment, the arrival of the Grand Duke of Falcon has made many families with keen sense of smell vaguely able to smell a pungent, **** smell from the oncoming wind. This is a precursor of a thunderstorm.

The Grand Duke of Falcon is a legend in the business world and an undefeated killer on the battlefield. The loss of the infantry crossbow will undoubtedly draw the anger of this killer to Zivadin

Now the entire business community of Zivadin is like a group of frightened birds, squatting in the poor mansion, afraid to kick the atmosphere, not to mention the Horele family, which is regarded as the center of the whirlpool in rumors. The door is left in the cold, no one cares about it, even the Horelle family itself, the door is closed, it looks like a catastrophe is imminent

"Does this matter have anything to do with you? As the deacon of the South, such a large order cannot be completely hidden from your eyes." Horelle's eyes flickered and his fingers tapped on the armrest of the seat. Ning Sheng said, "500 infantry crossbows are not something that can be prevaricated by fishing in troubled waters. Those guys from the Ministry of Supervision of the Kingdom are more sensitive than a dog’s nose

"If so, stand up like a man and take care of the misfortune you have caused by yourself"

Horelle's voice paused, his icy eyes swept across everyone in the hall, and his voice was heavy and haggard, saying, "Stand up now, but only one person will die, but your relatives will be spared, and the family will take care of you. , If the Ministry of Supervision finds out, the whole family will be implicated in it. Don’t blame me for being cruel”

"Huhu"

The hall is very quiet. I can still hear the breeze blowing the flowers and trees outside the door. Everyone's heads are lowered, and the silence on everyone's faces seems to be stagnant.

"Master..."

At this moment, the housekeeper outside the door suddenly ran in with a weird look, because he ran too fast and almost fell to the ground,

"What is so impatient?"

Horelle looked at the butler who was stumbling and snorted with extreme dissatisfaction in his nose. The butler has always been steady ~ IndoMTL.com~ I don’t know why he suddenly loses his attitude,

The butler bent down and whispered in Horelle's ear. The eyes in the hall looked at him, making the butler's face flushed and white, which was extremely embarrassing, but the paleness on his face undoubtedly indicated that something really happened. Thing

"Are you sure?" Horele looked at the housekeeper with a face full of disbelief, tilted his head to look at the housekeeper. How could that woman appear in his house at this moment?

"Yes, although I haven't seen it formally, I can’t pretend that I’m so glamorous," the butler said, breathlessly affirmative. "Besides, she named her by name to see the master. With such courage, the master is one of the twelve deacons, who has met a real person."

"By the way, she also brought this." The butler seemed to remember something, and quickly took out a small black object from his arms,

It is a brooch made of black, unknown metal. The black and shiny handle is like a black rose in bud, with more than ten tiny flame-like gems inlaid in the center of the stamen.

Even if there is not enough light in the hall, you can feel the precious and uniqueness of these rubies. ..
