Catherine also followed up and said: "Yes, the baron's fiefdom is more than a hundred miles away from here. It will take a day to run there. No one may be able to tell the situation there. Otherwise, let's leave it to the subordinates.
.”
Leo's little head shook and he protested loudly: "No, you promised, you can't go back on it."
Lorraine once talked about the principle of "Zeng Zi butchering pigs", and Catherine also knew that she had to teach Leo that he should not let go of this bad guy who doesn't keep his words. She immediately looked to Lorraine for help.
Leo had been looking forward to the first time he personally led a team to ransack a house and rob something. At this time, he quickly used his invincible cute eyes technique, winking hard at Lorraine, while nodding and bowing with a flattering smile.
Lorraine shrugged and told Catherine that she had nothing to do. This was not something that could be fooled by just making up an excuse. Leo had always considered ransacking homes and stealing money as his job.
If you don't let him go, won't you make him unemployed? This little ruffian is in a hurry. Who knows what could happen to him? He doesn't know how to jump off a building to ask for wages. The most likely thing is to directly organize a group of migrant workers to violently ask for wages.
Lorraine said: "It doesn't matter. We still have a hundred tax collectors and three hundred tax collectors outside the city. We have brought out more than a hundred people, which is enough. There are also eleven mages there, plus the Vera super mobile fort. Who else should we be afraid of?
Come."
Vera, who was leaning on the sofa and dozing off little by little, raised her head and said in a daze: "Master, did you call me?"
Lorraine rubbed Vera's head and said: "Wake up, wake up, we are going to search the house. If you don't get up, we won't take you with us."
"Ah, no~!" Vera suddenly jumped up from the sofa, waving her fists energetically, and shouted: "Who are we going to rob? Do you have much money? Master, tell me, I will sell the more than one hundred pounds.
Here you go."
Lorraine threw her hand and hit Vera on the head, saying: "Your more than one hundred pounds were originally mine."
"It's better to be the boss," Leo cheered, then made a face to Catherine and snorted: "Stingy."
Catherine was furious and slapped the chair, pretending to beat Leo.
Leo turned around and ran out of the hall. Before he reached the door, he couldn't wait to shout: "Young boys, let's go, let's go, we are going to catch a big fish this time."
Bodoch and other members of Leo's death squad have been eagerly waiting for him.
As a self-respecting soldier, it would be fine to torment a few criminals and play with Leo, but if they were to actually do it and use those instruments of torture to carry out perverted torture, they would still be very embarrassed.
And of course they were very happy to be able to get out.
What's more, if you follow Lorraine and Leo to raid homes, first of all, you can make a lot of money.
Lorraine and Leo took very good care of their younger brothers, especially those who went out to fight for them.
Moreover, I can see new things every time, and I will be in Ruman City in the future. These are all bragging rights with those nobles and ladies, and they are just to deceive two ignorant noble girls, or even a big-breasted and brainless noble lady.
Or whatever, it's not impossible to be a bed partner.
The little universe of Bodoch's small group of Leo's guards immediately burst into flames, and they roared angrily: "As ordered~!"
Leo jumped on the carriage first, poked his head inside the carriage, and shouted to Lorraine and Vera: "Boss, hurry up, hurry up. We are late, maybe those guys will run away after getting the news."
As long as it was about money, Vera's interest was always very high. She also ran out of the hall happily, jumped on the carriage, and gathered with Leo to discuss the details of the house raid, and then exchanged the gains and losses from the last time.
The more he talked, the more excited he became, almost holding a glass of wine to celebrate.
Lorraine curled her lips and said to Catherine and Adele: "Call General Larry to the Governor's Mansion. You two will command the Naian Army through him. Whether Larry can be retained depends on his performance this time."
Catherine and Adele nodded, stood up and walked out the door with Lorraine.
Lorraine continued: "Tonight, the people on the list will be arrested. As for what to do, you two can decide. By the way, as for the two deputy public officials and deputy financial officers, send people to keep an eye on them.
Seeing the people they come into contact with, we will try to dig out all these moths."
Catherine said: "Okay, no need to say any more, I know what to do."
She paused and continued: "I don't do this just once or twice."
Adele warned: "You and Leo should be more careful. There are many unruly people in the countryside."
Lorraine sneered, patted the musket, and said: "Diel, are you praising them? They are unworthy? They are not worthy."
As soon as Lorraine stepped onto the carriage, Leo and Vera grabbed her clothes and pulled her in. Before Lorraine could sit down, Leo patted the carriage and shouted loudly: "Let's go, let's go."
General Philip saluted Catherine and Adele, got on his horse, and led his team out of the Governor's Palace.
Adele smiled bitterly and said: "This is really a harmonious family, even the interests are the same."
Catherine thought for a while and suddenly said: "No, there are hundreds of bandits alone, not to mention these slave traders, Lorraine still has too few people."
Adele said: "Well, now only the security team of the Flying Eagle Company is available. Alas, they are said to be the governor of a province and the official of the frontier, holding a lot of power. But it is quite annoying. Something happened.
We can’t even trust our troops. We don’t even have any local officers who can be called upon.”
Catherine frowned and snorted, and said: "That's just a bunch of idiots risking their own lives. As for the army, it will come naturally after this matter is over. Carter, I have a task for you."
Carter looked at the guards and guards who were following Leo happily. He was feeling a little melancholy and a little sad. After hearing Catherine Lin's words, he immediately came back to his senses.
He agreed, then followed Catherine and turned towards the hall.
At this time, the sky was already twilight, a thin mist was floating on the ground, and the air was cool and moist.
On the road, you can already see vendors pushing carts or driving donkeys and horses, carrying vegetables, fruits, raw meat and other daily necessities, rushing to sell them in Naider City.
Lorraine and his team rode wildly, roaring past them, and rushed directly to the outside of Nadel City, where the guards and tax collectors were guarding the slave traders' yard.
Gretan and the others were surprised to see Lorraine and Leo back here again, and they hurriedly gathered in his courtyard to wait. They all obeyed Lorraine's rule of not allowing them to step out of the courtyard.
Lorraine jumped down from the carriage and said: "Bring me those slave traders who have confessed the most. Also, pick out fifty tax collectors from several cities in the south who are reliable and can be beaten.
People, I need to use them."
Leo shouted loudly, "Guards, assemble, assemble."
Soon, a slave trader was brought to Lorraine.
Lorraine took a look and saw that it was the guy who claimed to be the boss's lover. The guards guarding him on both sides were far away from him.
Seeing him coming, Gretan and the others acted like a conditioned reflex and hurriedly stepped aside.
Lorraine also felt her stomach tightening.
He frowned, suppressed the uncomfortable feeling, turned his head away from him, and said: "Okay, just stand there, we are going to arrest your boss, and you will be free if we catch him, but
If you mess up, all your previous efforts will be in vain, and I will be the first to kill you, do you understand?"
The man replied hurriedly: "I know, I know, I will definitely cooperate."
Leo looked at the man, held the minibus, and said doubtfully: "No, boss, this guy is the boss's mistress, and he will definitely tip off the information."
The greatness of gay love cannot be underestimated. Lorraine thought to herself that if something went wrong and the boss behind the scenes got away, it would be difficult to handle.
Seeing Lorraine's hesitation, the man raised his orchid finger and said resentfully: "Don't get me wrong, sir, I have my own lover. He used violence to coerce me. He got my body, but he will never get me again."
heart."
Lorraine instantly got goosebumps and shivered. If he hadn't stayed up all night without eating, he would have vomited it out.
Gretan's face darkened, he turned around and vomited it out.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard were startled and jumped away from the man. For a time, there was only one Lorraine within a dozen times around him.
Lorraine waved his hands feebly and said: "Take him away, take him away, don't let him appear in front of me before we get there."
The two Guards soldiers next to them had grimaces on their faces, looked at each other helplessly, and pursed their lips at each other, in order to encourage the other to come forward.
Lorraine looked at it and thought: I can't wrong one of my own. So he said naturally: "Call two tax collectors and take him away."
The two Guards soldiers were overjoyed, nodded vigorously, and then happily called for help.
The Guards cleaned the two transport ships carrying slaves to remove traces of the battle, disguised themselves as crew members, and drove the two ships out of the port toward their destinations.
Lorraine, Leo, and the group of guards and tax collectors had been running around for a whole day and night. They were all very tired. They cleared some clean areas on the boat. Except for the punters and those on duty, no one else
I fell down and went to sleep.
A whole day passed, and it was not until ten minutes past midnight that the two transport ships approached their destination. At this time, a small boat lit a lantern and approached the transport ship.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard cocked their crossbows and waited calmly for the boat to arrive.
Before I even got close, I heard someone on the boat yelling at the top of his lungs: "What did you do? You are all a bunch of fucking idiots. You dare not neglect the old man's affairs. I have been waiting for you all day."
Lorraine and the others hid in the cabin and listened, and then asked the slave trader who was being held by the tax collector, "This is the boss."
I don't know whether he was really angry or just showing it to Lorraine. The slave trader gritted his teeth and said, "It's your lord, it's this bastard."
Lorraine said: "Go out and bring him in. Don't let anyone on that boat go."
The Guards soldier raised his crossbow to signal that he was watching him from behind, then pushed him out of the cabin and pointed his crossbow at his back in the dark.
The slave trader glanced back, turned around quickly, walked to the side of the ship, and said loudly: "Don't mention it, I'm so unlucky. I ran into a tax inspection, and they gave me a lot of money before I was allowed to go."
As he spoke, he threw down a rope ladder and pulled the person below him up.
The person below spent a lot of effort and clambered onto the transport ship.
Looking at it under the light, the boss mentioned by the slave trader is a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears. His head is round and the flesh on his cheeks is drooping. He is holding the belly of a big boss. I really don’t know who he is.
How did you climb up the rope ladder?
As the fat man walked into the cabin, he shouted: "If you don't come, the old man will be very angry, and he insists on guarding me here. You fools, don't you know how important the matter is? Where are they? This time
How is the goods?"
The slave trader did not dare to say more for fear of revealing his fault. He just lowered his head and said: "It's all in there. You'll know for yourself when you see it."
The fat man hummed, turned around and slapped the slave trader on the butt, then walked into the cabin with a smile.
Lorraine and Leo were sitting in the cabin with dignity, with guardsmen guarding both sides. Vera was behind Lorraine, holding a handful of snacks and eating happily.
As soon as the fat man walked into the cabin, the first thing he saw was Lorraine. He immediately slapped the slave trader and said happily: "Well done, I got such a good pretty boy from there, he must be worth a lot of money."
Leo and Vera burst into laughter all of a sudden, and Vera's mouth sprayed all over Lorraine's back.
Leo held his stomach and laughed loudly. He fell down on the chair and slid from the chair to the ground. Then he lay on the ground and beat the wooden floor wildly with his white and tender fists.
Lorraine's face was dark and her nose was crooked with anger.
Fatty You unconsciously looked at Leo and was even more surprised. He said with a smile: "Oh, there is such a cute little boy. He is so hairy. Baron Udri has asked the old man several times to ask for one.
For boys.”
This time it was Lorraine's turn to laugh without saying a word. Leo immediately stopped laughing, got up from the ground with a dark face.
At this time, when the fat man saw Vera behind him who was laughing so hard that she was crying, his eyes were closed with joy and he said: "There are still small ones with such good quality... No, you guys..."
He suddenly realized something was wrong and was about to shout loudly.
Several Guards soldiers rushed over immediately.
Like wolves attacking a sheep, they threw the fat man to the ground, then tied him up tightly and gagged him.
The slave traders tricked the people on the boat into boarding the boat, and they were caught and tied up by the guards.
Lorraine covered her face, not even looking at the fat man, and kept urging: "Take him down and play with him, he is really a blind thing."
The transport ship approached the river bank and anchored in front of a pier. There were more than a dozen people guarding the pier. The guards disguised as crew members captured them cleanly.
The slave trader went to the lighted place in front and said: "Sir, that is the manor of Baron Rathmore. He also has several properties. When the slaves are transported, he is usually in this manor."
Leo also put on a small set of armor, with a musket and dagger on his waist. He waved his hand mightily and shouted in a low voice: "Come on, young men, eat meat and drink soup. It depends on this vote.
"
Under the gray moonlight, Lorraine and his team of more than a hundred people sneaked towards the manor.
The manor is quite large, with several houses in it. The main building is a three-story brick building, and many of the windows are still lit with lights.
General Philip assigned tasks. Some people walked through the main entrance, some guarded the back, and some patrolled the wall. You could see it by lying on the wall. There were many people patrolling with weapons in the yard.
Lorraine waved her hand and said: "Action."
The mage blasted open the door of the manor with a fireball, and there was a loud bang. While the guards were still in a daze, the guards and tax collectors rushed into the manor.
The nurses shouted: "Who are you?"
"There are robbers!"
"Grandma, you don't know that we are the ancestors of thieves, come on."
Hearing the noise outside, more people poured out of several houses with weapons.
"Arrest people under the order of the governor, and those who resist will die." shouted the guards and tax collectors who rushed in. The tax collectors held their shields in front, and the guards raised their crossbows and pointed at the dozens of guards who rushed forward.
Yuan pulled the trigger, and the guard who was running in front fell down instantly.
The remaining nurses hesitated for a moment, and then rushed forward with shouts.
After another round of crossbows, the Imperial Guard soldiers brandished their weapons and rushed up from behind the tax collectors. With just a glance, these guards were all chopped down to the ground.
The Imperial Guards rushed directly into the main building regardless of the enemy who had fallen to the ground.
Soon, the sound of fighting also sounded from behind the manor.
The tax collectors searched the nursing home who had fallen on the ground, tied them up alive, and then rushed into the house and started searching.
In less than ten minutes, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard dragged a group of people out of the main building. At the front was an old man in pajamas. It could be seen that he must have been very strong when he was young.
Leo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, the speed is quite fast. It seems that I taught them construction assault training in vain."
Lorraine and Leo walked into the manor and went straight to the captured old man.
At this time, the Imperial Guards took out the rope and were tying him up.
Lorraine saw that even though he was an old man, Baron Rathmore was still handsome, but his white pajamas were now covered in dirt, his hair was messy, and he had been punched in the face.
Lorraine suddenly remembered that she still had some impression of him. She had met him at the welcome party when Lorraine first arrived in Nai'an.
Lorraine whispered: "Do you know me?"
"Yes, Lord Governor." Baron Rathmore was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood. His expression darkened and he said bitterly.
Lorraine said: "You know why I want to arrest you."
Baron Rathmore nodded and said nothing. He just turned to look at the family behind him. Several young men and women who were brought out of the house were also being detained at this time. They were all still in a daze.
"I'm just curious. Why does a hereditary nobleman, or a family with a history of hundreds of years, resist imperial decrees and engage in slave trade? Can you tell me the reason?" Lorraine looked at Baron Rathmore and said.
