Chapter 16 Imperial Edict and Whale

In the beginning, Rhodes kept the sailors purely for their labor force.

First force them to do something, then give them food and drink, and then give them money.

These people suffer first and then get sweet. Even if the money in their hands is far less than their efforts, most of them will not curse again.

Even if someone wants to file a lawsuit, the Navy Yamen is one of Rhode's own, how can you, a sailor, sue?

After watching the sailors sail away, Rhodes, standing at the port, set his sights on Heisenberg's wall again.

This is where I will settle down and live my life from now on, so I have to build it well.

Just when Rhodes was still thinking about how to build a modern city.

Suddenly a warship sailed on the sea.

The warship approached quickly.

The golden dragon flag indicates that the ship is coming directly from the royal family, most likely an imperial envoy.

It was just as Rhode expected.

After the warship docked, a eunuch came down from above.

Surrounded by several warriors, he walked towards Rhodes.

The eunuch Wang Panpan shouted with a high-pitched voice, holding the imperial edict high:

"Honor Lord Hanhai, accept the order!"

Rhodes knelt on one knee with his hands clasped in his fists, followed by a row of Luo family members kneeling behind him.

Wang Panpan opened the imperial edict and read: "My emperor's sacred decree will be preserved in the sea."

After reading a bunch of standard styles, I finally got to the main text.

"Today, there is a contemporary Lord of the Hanhai Sea, who respects the emperor's orders and serves as the military attache of the Heisenberg garrison. He has achieved a high position of fourth rank, but has made no achievements."

"It is disgraceful to sit back and watch Heisenberg being attacked by pirates, and I hereby admonish him."

"I hope you will eliminate the pirates within this month and capture the thieves' heads and present them to the court. Otherwise, you will be punished for several crimes and it will be uncomfortable. I appreciate this!"

Wang Panpan completed the imperial edict, but suddenly found that Rhodes was already standing in front of him.

Rhodes snatched the imperial edict away and left without looking back.

"What are you doing? Ouch."

Luo family, you look at me, I look at you.

I don’t know what the head of the family meant by this move.

But in the end, he chose to follow Rhodes.

Wang Panpan was left jumping around in anger.

He pointed at Rhodes's leaving figure and said with an inward look:

"If you insult the angels and disrespect the emperor's orders, the court will not let you go."

After saying that, he saw that Rhodes had already entered the city, and the sailors around him were still looking at him curiously.

Wang Panpan didn't want to continue to stand around and be a clown here, so he left angrily under the escort of the warriors.

His words were obviously heard by people in the family separation.

Luo Mingzhi stepped forward and asked: "Master, although my general has many conflicts with the royal family, if I don't give the royal family face today, won't there be trouble?"

"Huh?" Rhodes turned his head curiously. "What royal family?"

"That's it."

Luo Mingzhi pointed to the ship channel that had just left the port.

Rhodes looked at the ship leaving and said calmly:

"Heisenberg has just been attacked by pirates. He is surrounded by pirates. How can there be any royal family? I have never seen him at all."

After saying that, he shook the imperial edict in his hand, threw it into the newly dug drainage ditch, and continued walking towards the city with his hands behind his back.

"Ah this."

Luo Mingzhi, who had been left behind, was surprised when he saw this.

He finally understood what Rhodes meant.

He looked at the ships in the distance.

Is it okay to do this?

It was as if a window had been opened to his mind.

On the sea, Wang Panpan was still very angry.

While eating cakes, he cursed:

"People like the Luo family should be eliminated as soon as possible. Why are they still here?"

"Really, it makes people angry just looking at it."

"This Rhodes is still some bullshit Hanhai Hou. He has no education at all. How dare he steal the imperial edict?"

As he spoke, he handed a piece of pastry to Tetsuyokawa next to him.

The samurai leader Tetsuyokawa took it but put it in his hand without eating it.

Wang Panpan started again:

"I'm just confused. There are obviously so many people like you in the royal family, why don't you just destroy them?"

"It stands to reason that they can't defeat you at all. It would be great if they just come and wipe out all of you."

"Why do you still do this?"

Wang Panpan frowned, unable to express this feeling for the moment.

"Hidden form."

Tetsushirogawa beside him added.

"yes!"

Wang Panpan slapped the table. Although he originally wanted to hide his head and show his tail.

"Why are you hiding like this? I haven't even revealed any information about you."

"Well, you are right."

Tetsuyokawa glanced at him.

"It's just a pity that I can't guess what the emperor is thinking. Maybe he has other plans."

Wang Panpan nodded after hearing this: "Yes."

"But that's right, it's not the turn of little things like us to know about any arrangements."

"According to me, you should just push it in one wave and clean it up."

"Yes, indeed." Tetsushirogawa agreed.

He knows this eunuch.

Some knowledge, but not much.

Thinking about things is also relatively one-sided.

If you tell him that the royal family wants to save face, so they cannot kill people without justifiable reasons, he will definitely not understand.

You told him that the royal family was worried that assassinating the general would cause a riot in the army, but he still didn't understand.

As for other deeper things, if you tell him about it, he won’t understand it even more.

Instead, he will keep nagging and trying to convince you with his fallacious reasoning.

Therefore, it is better to agree with him directly.

Wang Panpan really calmed down.

He took a sip of wine and walked out.

Through the balcony on the second floor, his gaze reached far away.

He patted the railing and sighed:

"The sea, I never get tired of seeing it a hundred times!"

"It's so beautiful on the sea surface, but I don't know how majestic it is on the bottom of the sea."

"Boom."
