Chapter 749: Raising pigs is worse than raising thieves?
These guardsmen are all rough men, and they don't have the patience to conduct serious investigation and research, and they don't know how to investigate and research.
If you let these soldiers kill people, you can kill several people at once, and there will be no problem at all, but if you let them use their brains to risk bad things, it won't work.
That kind of work is done by civil servants. First of all, they are all disciplined people and can't do anything illegal. Secondly, they look down on those dead people.
Besides, if they take away that job, what will the civil servants do in the future? All that will be left is eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, corruption and taking bribes. How can they be so easy on those grandsons? We have to let them do some serious work anyway, right?
.
They can't come up with clever solutions, but they can always come up with stupid solutions.
They discussed it briefly and immediately made a wise decision: Since they can't figure it out, they don't want to try to figure it out. We can destroy these water villages one by one and we can always find them~!
Immediately, all the water thieves in the Thirteenth Link Dock were in great misfortune.
What they encountered this time was a disaster.
Relying on their large numbers and well-equipped equipment, this group of Imperial Guards acted like crazy, occupying every mountain and attacking a stronghold.
The Imperial Guards sent out more than a dozen squadrons, and this little cottage was really not enough to see. Although the Thirteenth Link Wound claimed to have tens of thousands of troops and was as solid as a rock, in front of the Imperial Guards, their camp was just like paper.
The same.
Every time the Guards captured a bandit's camp, they would arrest the person and ask, "Where is the horse? Where is the horse?"
Regardless of whether he answered correctly or failed to answer, he was immediately dragged out and whipped, beating him half to death, and then the tiger bench, chili pepper water, and the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty were all brought to him.
Even if a confession is obtained, for the sake of safety, everyone still has to torture them again to see if what they say is consistent. Doesn't this force those thieves to talk nonsense?
The idea of the Imperial Guard is very simple. Since interrogation is not our specialty and we cannot ask questions clearly, we should ask them several times and compare them with each other to make it clear.
It is also in line with the usual practice of this group of soldiers, which is simple and direct.
The water thieves and robbers who were caught were in bad luck.
These thieves were beaten all over their bodies and bruised, and they couldn't bear the torture. They could only bend and beat them, and then they stretched out their hands and pointed randomly.
For example, if you point at your enemy and say, "He knows what he has dealt with," and then the enemy bites back, the guards will arrest the two people and beat them again in order to verify clearly.
Some people were even beaten to the point of dying, and they could only admit helplessly: "Okay, okay. Stop looking for me. In fact, I am the horse that became a spirit..."
Many people who could not survive the punishment were killed at the hands of the Praetorian Guards. But no one cared about them, they were just robbers, and if they died, they would die.
Such a barbaric and cruel attitude made the water thieves even more frightened, and they would do anything to survive.
The more clues there are, the less clueless the Praetorian Guards will be.
The guards were busy for three days, bumping around like headless flies, but in the end they still couldn't find the war horse.
Only then did these bastards react: mlgbd~! Were we not fooled by that bastard Lei Luo? We haven’t seen anyone from the First Division in the past few days.
Everyone was busy attacking the stronghold and arresting people, and only now did they realize that something was wrong.
Regardless of their fatigue, they immediately sent out scouting horses in the direction they came from. Only then did they realize that Lorraine and the others had already boarded the boat and left. All the people in the village had been taken away by the city lord, and only a small group of Sarazans remained.
The officers and soldiers of Encheng were doing the work of clearing the place.
After hearing the news, all the officers knew that something bad had happened and that they had been tricked by that boy Lei Luo. Everyone was furious with anger.
That damn ruffian did a lot of harm to everyone. He made everyone work like a stupid boy here. That guy might be hiding somewhere and laughing~!
This is so abominable~!
This time when I go back, I must treat him to a treat at the Royal Hotel. When the time comes, I will order a two-and-a-half-foot-long lobster. I must kill him severely and bleed him properly~!
Although these people yelled loudly, it was extremely rare for this group of rough old men who usually kept talking about "fuck" and "your sister" at this time. No one dared to say any unpleasant words or curse in public.
At most, it was just a few mutterings.
They knew very well that due to the order given by the admiral, Uncle Lei Luo would definitely be promoted to the third level with his military exploits. By then, everyone might have to work under him.
Even if he can't be his superior, everyone will definitely salute first when they see him in the future.
At this time, when people talk nonsense and say unpleasant things, who can guarantee that no one will betray themselves and report to that ruffian later.
There are various signs that Lei Luo is very vindictive.
These people are all very smart, and they are also very proficient in office politics. They know clearly that if they talk fast and say a few unpleasant words now, they will have to wear small shoes later, and they will be in bad luck.
Apart from anything else, when your superiors are considering your promotion, if someone whispers a few bad words about you in front of your superiors, it can easily derail your hopes of promotion.
Although Colin is basically on the same level as everyone else, as the cavalry commander of the Second Division, from a certain perspective, he is half a level higher than the other officers.
In the military, a place where class is extremely important, it is natural that he should be the main speaker.
He looked at the crowd and said, "What? Let's evacuate too? There's really no point in staying here. How about going back?"
The remaining officers looked at each other and then nodded.
"Yes, everyone has gone back to receive their merits, why are we still here enjoying the glory?"
"In this case, there is no point in keeping it any longer."
"Go back, go back."
"Go together, go together..."
While they were shouting here, Colin saw the troubled expression on the face of the cavalryman who was hesitating to speak. He couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and then said: "Why, is there anything else?"
Tan Ma immediately took out a letter from his arms and said: "My lord, this is it. This is the letter left by Lord Lei Luo and others, entrusting the local officers and soldiers to deliver it to you... and all your lords."
He said it was important."
Colin was immediately stunned and reached out to take the letter. Then he opened it and took a rough look. A strange look appeared on his face, and he just stood there in a daze.
The rest of the people couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's going on, what's going on?"
Colin handed the letter to the person next to him, then sighed and said: "See for yourself. These people are really the best among people~! How do they have such brains? Tsk tsk... I feel ashamed of myself.
, I feel ashamed..."
The man took it and took a look, and then took a rough look, and then a strange look appeared on his face. It turned out that,
The letter was not complicated at all. The main idea was: Brothers, we are all Guardsmen, and we are all swaying spoons in the same pot.
I'll take the horse away, so don't think about it.
Although I have made a meritorious service this time, I still understand the official rule of "carrying a sedan chair with flowers and flowers" that is universally applicable and has universal truth.
So don’t worry, everyone will be rewarded when the time comes. From the boss who is in charge of the soldiers to the ruffian who dumps the toilet under him, there will be no one less. We all have a share.
Are we sincerely cooperating? Without you to contain the many copycats, I wouldn’t have succeeded so easily, right?
Another one, everyone came out to break the city. It was hard work along the way. I also made a lot of loot. I’m afraid it’s hard to sell it if it’s in your hands, right?
I know a Sotheby's auction house company. The prices are fair and the people are honest. It can be called a moral model among Semitic business companies. Their general manager is a generation of Semitic business wizards.
, is based on credibility, operates with integrity, and has a wide network of contacts. General Manager Lei Guanglei has deep connections at the upper level.
If you are willing, you can take the contents to an auction. If you find it too troublesome, just sell them to the company at a higher price.
For these things, they have always accepted all comers and are willing to purchase them at internal prices.
In this way, everyone not only eliminated the banditry, but also got benefits. The brothers also had a few small coins in their hands to buy some tea lollipops and so on.
Isn’t it possible to accomplish many things with one stone?
It can be considered that our brothers did not travel in vain...
So much so.
The letter was passed on one after another. After reading it, everyone was amazed.
This is the real gangster boss. He not only thinks about getting promoted and getting rich, but also thinks about cheating people and putting all the money in his own pocket. He is extremely loyal and protects his younger brothers. He also leaves it for everyone.
A glittering road to wealth.
No wonder he is a squadron leader at a young age. Making money by opening a company is like drinking water. This realm is different.
Colin looked at everyone and then said, "Gentlemen, what should we do?"
An officer next to him said: "What else can we do? Of course we should continue to deal with it~!"
Someone said calmly: "Anyway, if we go back now, we won't be able to catch much. The military exercise is probably not over yet."
It's rare to get out, so why not take this opportunity to open a few more cottages and smash a few kilns. Make more money and let the brothers live a relaxed life for a few days."
His words are organized and his thoughts are clear.
Everyone looked at each other and immediately agreed in unison, saying: "Get it straightened out, keep straightening it out."
"If you don't earn money, you are a bastard."
The Praetorian Guards usually stay in the city of Arkadelin, and there are indeed very few opportunities to earn extra money. Even though they are the strongest army of the Semitic tribe, they sometimes covet the money-making ability of the local troops.
Hearing that they wanted to make extra money, the Imperial Guards went up and down like wolves out of their cages, staring with scarlet eyes, breathing heavily, and started to fight with their swords.
All of them, leaning against the south bank of the Golobi River, among the endless mountains, the dens of thieves in the water villages all ignited black smoke into the sky one after another.
Those water thieves were dying and escaping. Even those who were lucky enough to escape the disaster immediately said, "This job is too stressful." Then they changed their careers to other businesses.
After their large-scale raids, which were like Japanese invaders entering the village, the once prosperous and prosperous bandit business along the Golobi River suddenly fell back for more than a hundred years.
The hundreds of years of banditry along the Golobi River were almost wiped out in their team mission. They wanted the system to update so many water thieves and monsters again and restore the previous prosperous business.
You have to wait at least twenty or thirty years.
The Imperial Guards not only copied the Semitic flags, but also collected a lot of pennants and letters of thanks from various places. However, the Imperial Guards had nothing to do with those worthless pennants, which took up space and were too thick to make trousers.
, and finally found a deserted ravine and threw them all away.
After the Imperial Guards completed their mission, under the eyes of the local troops who were hungry for blood, they dragged the convoy of trophies that was longer than their own team and returned to the Thunder Song Plain in a mighty manner.
At this time, the Natian Hunter military exercise had come to an end. Seeing their arrival, there was another climax immediately.
The smuggling trade of the Flying Eagle Lightning Company originally suffered heavy losses in that operation, but later, Black Wind and Red Crocodile, two copycats with a strong reputation on the waterway, not only robbed most of the stolen goods,
He came back and robbed them of their years of savings.
These two village owners are both very good at saving money, even better than Lorraine. This time Lorraine and the others really made a lot of money.
General Manager Lei Guanglei exclaimed when he met the person: "This officer and soldier looks very much like this thief.
No wonder they say, "Raise thieves to respect yourself." Raising thieves and raising pigs are indeed the same principle.
Tsk tsk...
They robbed the common people and made them fat. Then we took advantage of others and robbed them. In the end, not only did we gain a good reputation, but we also gained a lot of real benefits."
And what makes General Manager Lei Da the most happy is that this operation has bribed the upper echelons of the military. Therefore, military expenditures, etc., are all paid for by the national treasury, and it does not cost him a penny. It takes a huge amount of money.
A public benefit.
It feels really good to spend public money to do private work for yourself.
An auction was held immediately, using the venue of the hunting conference, and lasted for three days and three nights, and finally the goods in hand were almost sold.
Even so, the merchants who came after hearing the news were not satisfied. They surrounded him all day long, waving gold coins in their hands, and clamoring to order the next batch of goods.
The traffic jam made General Manager Lei Da dare not even leave the house all day long, let alone run out to steal dogs and cook meat.
Just when they were making a big fuss, this group of people returned victoriously with a large sum of stolen goods, which was like a timely rain.
The Sotheby's auction house under the Flying Eagle Lightning Company took advantage of its unbreakable relationship with the military and opened for business immediately. The president had already spoken, who dared not to hand over the goods in his hand to Sotheby's for sale.
Lightning Company took those stolen goods and immediately made another huge profit.
And those guards opened the den, smashed the kiln, and robbed a lot of gold and silver treasures. At that auction, they also made a lot of fat immediately.
With a lot of gold coins stuffed in their waists, they have broadened their horizons like nouveau riche. Their waists have never been as strong as they are now. They walk with arrogance and nostrils in the air. They always tip when they go out to drink.
.
At the same time, Captain Lei Luo's reputation was also soaring. When everyone mentioned him, everyone gave him a thumbs up and sincere praise.
When the military exercise ended, the Semitic clan officials held a commendation meeting to commend and celebrate the heroes who had emerged within the Lingshan clan in the recent period...
Lorraine spent a lot of money on activities, and the girls of the Pink Panther launched a gentle offensive behind the scenes to speak good words for Lorraine in front of their elders.
Especially the Admiral of the Guards. When the old man saw his horse, his back molars were exposed. He patted Lorraine on the shoulder and smiled, but he thought the old man was stupid.
When it finally came to an end, Lorraine was successfully promoted to the position of deputy commander, and won the glorious and great position of commander in chief.
The rocket-like speed of the rise was the first of its kind among the Imperial Guards. However, because of his high skill, strong backing, and ability to cause trouble, no one could do anything about it, even if they were greedy.
Although Adeline, Deipole, and Fiona had expected it, when the news came, they couldn't help but have some different emotions.
Deipole breathed a sigh of relief. With Lorraine here, it would be much easier for Adeline to escape in the future.
Fiona was also relieved, but also a little sad.
She didn't know Lorraine's true identity, but she just watched this ruffian get along like a fish in the army and rise up step by step. In the future, when he becomes a high-ranking and powerful person, she wants to deceive him again and recruit him as her son-in-law.
The difficulty has greatly increased again.
Thinking of this, I can't help but regret a little. Before the duel, if my father had listened to me, wouldn't he have so many things to worry about now? Now I have to do it all the time, be careful, and look at his face.
.
Just like an angry little daughter-in-law.
But Adeling felt a little gloomy in her heart.
No matter what, it seems that I can't escape the fate of being married.
As the date approaches, it is like an iron cage, not only unbreakable, but also slowly and ruthlessly forcing itself towards me step by step.
There will be no more luck after this. The only two options left are to be married honestly, or to resist and flee.
No matter which path I choose, I will eventually have to leave the hometown I have grown up with and know so well. Leave those friends and family behind and go far away.
Go to a strange place and start over.
Although Adeling is also a person who has traveled all over the world, every time she thinks about this, she feels tangled and uncomfortable in her heart.
That faint sadness is just like the many people who live in the bustling big cities and rush for three meals a day. Perhaps inadvertently, they see the tall buildings in the middle of the city that are torn into pieces and polluted.
When you see the gray sky, you will think of your hometown with clear mountains and green waters in your childhood. There is also the faint smell of cooking smoke.
That may be good, but after all, those are not my hometown.
Deibole looked at her face, and immediately felt sad in his heart, feeling the same. When she left the Amelia continent to perform the mission of the high priest, she also had a faint feeling of reluctance in her heart. The two people who were fighting outside
In 2000, Deipole often dreamed of the place where he grew up in the middle of the night.
And Adeling's personality is a bit weak, far from being as strong as mine, but she pretends to be more similar on the surface.
Deipole herself is still like this, so her mood will definitely be even gloomier.
Deipole immediately tried to comfort him.
And Fiona also made a bad idea next to her: "It's okay, isn't it just a broken marriage? It's no big deal. Looking back at the opportunity, we ran away. Find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to live in, and then get pregnant again.
Pregnancy or something, when the time comes, I will come back confidently with a big belly.
Whoever brings up this kind of thing is shameless, let’s see who among them dares to speak out.
When the time comes, let’s see which brat dares to mention marriage again~!”
Adeling immediately opened her beautiful eyes in surprise, and after a long time, she murmured: "If you really do this, I would be the most shameless, right?"
Deibole, who was beside him, was also so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Fina, what kind of bad idea are you coming up with?"
Fiona was stunned for a moment and said: "Is it bad? I feel pretty good. Look, you are running away with someone here..."
Adeling immediately snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, hey, can you please be a little more tactful with your words and not so harsh?"
Fiona hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay. Let me put it another way. You... ran away privately. Those big bosses have no one in their hands. They must be shameless if they can't keep their promises when the time comes, right?
"
Adelin nodded and said, "It seems to make sense."
Fiona continued: "That prince over there, knowing that his fiancée... ran away without permission, must be extremely shameless, right?"
Adelin turned her head and thought for a moment, then had to admit: "That's right."
Fiona twirled her fingers, like Zhuge Liang who was in and out of everything, and said: "When the time comes, you will be back with a big belly.
You think, now that we have the baby, the marriage will definitely not work out. Do those big guys have the nerve to bring it up again? Do those princes like Lei Shan have the nerve to mention it? Anyone who mentions it will become the laughingstock of the ages.
.
At that time, unless he doesn't want to live anymore, which bastard will dare to bring up the issue of marriage again? This will bring disgrace on the face of the entire Semitic people.
According to the rules of the officialdom, no matter which bastard he is, whoever dares to mention this matter will probably be killed by the big bosses before we can do anything about it, and their bones will be rubbed and ashes spread~!"
Adeline and Deipole looked at each other, then raised their thumbs and praised Fiona loudly: "High, really high. I wonder how you came up with this brilliant idea?"
Fiona paused immediately, then sighed and said: "You don't know, my parents and Lei Luo have completely different opinions, so they put me in the middle. I'm almost embarrassed to death.
"
As she spoke, she clenched her fist and said viciously: "One day, when I am cornered, I will do this and see who dares to say anything more."
When the two men heard the ferocity she said, they immediately covered their stomachs with their hands and fell down giggling. Fiona couldn't help but hesitate when she heard their laughter, and then she couldn't help but laugh.
As soon as they smiled, the melancholy atmosphere immediately diluted a lot.
At this moment, a long horn sounded, and this time the field hunting finally came to a successful end. Everyone was about to break up camp and return to the Imperial City of Akadrin.
The next top priority is Adelin's marriage and the Semitic alliance. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at ***(***.***),
