Sidney's consciousness had already become trance-like. At this moment, he was punched by Fan Ning with invisible force. A row of tiny pits fell directly into his forehead, and he fainted and hit the ground.
"hiss"
Fan Ning, who felt severe pain in his finger joints, took a deep breath and shook his hand, feeling that this improvised attack method was not ideal.
For those who have not descended into the chariot, except for a few who have learned the bonus of "cocoon" or "pool", their bodies are still generally useless.
"These two should save each other."
The two bodyguards standing in the shadows were slightly conscious, but they felt that they could not control the strength of their hands.
"boom!--"
Gunshots rang out, heads were ripped open and blood burst out.
In this loft with surprisingly good sound insulation, it was obviously difficult for this sound to be transmitted to the noisy dance floor below.
Fan Ning squatted down, put the burly man's finger into the pool of blood, and then clicked on his list.
Sidney Arcadio's name bears a scarlet fingerprint.
After doing all the "paper work" in a serious manner, Fan Ning picked up the man who was taller than himself. With the help of the command of "Key", he felt as light as a scarecrow.
The front window and the surrounding walls were wrenched out of thin air to create a large hole.
Fan Ning jumped down directly and landed on the street.
He threw the unconscious Sidney to the ground, then sprinkled the "candle" radiant essence liquid around him in a ring, and ignited several specific corners of his clothes.
"The glory appears!" The mysterious ancient Janus language was spoken.
A beam of golden light soared into the sky, bursting into intense fireworks in the night sky.
This is really related to the "Unfallen Fire", an authentic and authentic lighting spell.
"What Sidney does is, to put it mildly, 'scheduling'. In fact, it is to respond to the 'order requirements' of the frontline military, provide information to suppliers, and be responsible for managing other armies involved in the transportation route.
Well, it’s similar to the role of an intermediary broker in the smuggling chain.”
After doing all this, Fan Ning's physical appearance began to change.
In an instant, he looked like a burly man named Sidney lying on the ground.
In fact, even if the widow did not speak before, Fan Ning knew that the fundamental reason for the soaring prices, the collapsing economy, and the miserable people was that the trade chain in the Southern Continent was completely cut off, and the direct cause was the two countries in the Western Continent.
Fighting broke out over so-called "territorial disputes," but what added fuel to the flames was rampant smuggling.
The latter contributed at least more than 70% of the price increase.
The trend of smuggling has always existed, but the drastic change in the situation seems to have aroused all the instincts in people's bones at once, to the point where it has almost become a disaster.
Fan Ning has been to 8 of the 14 counties and cities in Janus. In the various mountains, forests and wilderness trails, smuggling vehicles and smugglers can be seen everywhere. They are much louder than the people walking on the road, and many of them even walk openly in the city.
Rest on the way.
The main practice of these dealers is to purchase rice, flour, grains, oils, meat, vegetables, fruits and cloth in small towns and villages, sell them to big cities or war fronts, and then bring high-end luxury goods or industrial daily necessities from big cities back to small places.
High-end products earn money from nobles and gentry, while daily necessities earn money from common people.
This situation also exists in the warring Kingdom of Lydia, and even in the currently neutral Theoline in the Northern Continent.
It is common to make four or five times the profit after going back and forth. Some of them are more open-minded and just take advantage of the new wave of enclosure reshuffle in the South to expand their business there and get a thousand percent profit.
All.
Of course, the Special Inspection Office and other official organizations will not pay too much attention to such trivial matters as smuggling. The newly emerged abnormal areas in the South and the whereabouts of Sherer and "Red Pond" after the "Meat Speech Festival" are the focus of attention——
No matter how high your prices rise and how much smugglers spend their money, can you destroy a whole continent?
The aristocrats and factory owners were colluding with each other, and the military was seriously corrupted. It cannot be ruled out that a few official insiders were also involved, and the authorities knew it well.
Fan Ning planned to arrest some of the people who could be arrested in Lebiqi tonight, and then arrest others after their duties were relieved. He would make full use of the training halls of the churches in various places and lock them up neatly.
If it is really not enough, you can also use the confiscated stolen money to renovate and expand the venue.
These little people who are engaged in illegal activities are more or less involved with secret organizations. Fan Ning plans to use human sea torture tactics, violently screen intelligence in abnormal areas, and continue to pursue Sylvia's clues upwards.
The radish was pulled out and the mud was brought out. As for the nobles, military and factory owners who were implicated, they kindly helped the church to clean up the mess. They were all brothers and no need to thank them.
"Oliver, this person seems to hire coolies and arrange vehicles. He has connections with Yaroslav in the transportation department. He is responsible for doing "purchasing work" in various towns and villages, that is, using large-scale collective purchasing methods to lower prices and levy farmers.
Grain, oil, meat and vegetable Lynch, the online 'purchasing work', responsible for regional price control, running on the channels of law-abiding merchants, Isabel, one of the acquaintances of the gathering of the Divine Advent Society, the wife of a certain viscount in the Lebici area, because of her ability
He has acquired a lot of high-end goods and is very popular in the aristocratic circle. One of the gathering messengers of the Divine Advent Society should be a knowledgeable person of middle to high rank."
Fanning, who had transformed into Sidney lying on the ground, glanced at the long and wide list.
After briefly lingering on the names of several other people connected to the Sidneys, he quickly disappeared into the alley in the blink of an eye, leaving only the man lying in the snow and a pillar of light rising into the sky.
Three minutes later, there was a "crunch".
In a private library in a noble mansion, the window at the end of the corridor on the third floor suddenly opened.
There were no lights on in the library, but there were dozens of people sitting on the floor with their backs against the bookshelves, reading, and a few candles were lit on the ground in the middle.
In the narrow corridor, pale flames reflected human faces, and the scene was extremely quiet and strange.
"Sidney? Are you here to 'study' or to 'deliver orders'?" Isabel, the blond lady at the end, closed the book and spoke softly.
"Please come with me to the Lebici Church," Fan Ning said.
"Why are you so crazy?" Several men and women nearby laughed.
Fan Ning's tone was filled with compassion and heart-wrenching regret:
"I have been taught by Father Lavoisier and am now alert. Please come with me to confession as soon as possible."
Isabel, who was farthest away, narrowed her eyes.
"Good guy, your business goes to the church?"
"Hey, how do you feel? Have you shot your brain out of your body recently?"
Someone started shouting directly.
Fan Ning waved, and a military shotgun flew directly from the man's hand.
"Boom!——" "Boom!——"
As light smoke floated up, the man's torso immediately blossomed and his intestines were stuck to the wall, demonstrating personally what it means to have a body hollowed out.
"It was very difficult for this lamb to be alert, so I took action to rescue it first."
