"Wha, what?" Earl Lawrence's face turned green when he heard Meng Han's words. He originally wanted to watch Meng Han's show and forced Meng Han to cooperate obediently, but he never expected that Meng Han would use such a move.
If Meng Han had sent the two female elves to Earl Lawrence's house with such a big fanfare, then Lawrence could just count the seconds.
"I mean, since your lord likes it so much, I will send those two slaves to your residence." Meng Han's smile remained unchanged, but in the eyes of Earl Lawrence, it was purely a devil's smile. Especially
The words that came out of his mouth were even more frightening.
"What, what's the matter?" At this time, Earl Lawrence couldn't care less about taxation and financial matters, what put pressure on Meng Han, what wanted to force Meng Han, they were all put aside.
"Sir, just like it if you like it. What's the big deal?" Meng Han had a simple smile on his face, as if he was really a country bumpkin who had never seen the world: "Aren't they just two slaves? Your Excellency wants,
Of course I have to give you this face."
With that, Meng Han turned his head and ordered loudly to Joey: "Joy, send someone to send those two slaves to Lord Lawrence's house immediately. If anyone asks, tell them that Lord Lawrence likes me.
Two of my slaves came to ask for it as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir, we'll do it right away!" Joey suppressed a smile, looked at the finance minister who was at a loss, agreed cooperatively, and turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Earl Lawrence stopped in front of Joey at a speed that was completely inconsistent with his size. Just kidding, not only do you have to send the elf there, but you also have to give him publicity. Isn't this life-threatening?
"Lord Antonio, I really didn't mean it this way. I have never liked elf slaves. You must have heard wrong, sir!" When people became anxious, Earl Lawrence even changed the title of Meng Han to the formal Lord Antonio. Who knows?
, how could a count call a viscount?
"Did you hear that wrong?" Meng Han frowned, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, sir, don't worry, you like them so much, I will give them to you, you don't have to worry about the gold coins, there is no problem at all.
."
"No, no!" Lawrence denied anxiously, waving his hands randomly, not showing the slightest trace of the count's demeanor as he entered the door.
"No? My lord, you came here in such a hurry, aren't you afraid that I will change my hands?" Meng Han now pretended to be confused, but he was sure that Earl Lawrence was here to get the elf slave.
"I came here to discuss with you..." Having just said this, Earl Lawrence did not dare to say the words anymore. What did he say? That he wanted to force Meng Han to bow his head and obediently hand over his property according to taxes?
Although there is no such thing as killing one's parents in this world, the seriousness of the matter is the same. Earl Lawrence was also very quick-witted and immediately changed his words: "I just heard that your lord is going to auction the silk industry.
Let’s see if there’s anything we can do to help.”
"That's it?" Meng Han still looked like he couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty, I really don't want any money!"
"It seems that everything has been arranged for Mr. Antonio, so I won't say more." Earl Lawrence felt nothing but embarrassment. He turned around and left in a hurry, fearing that Meng Han would stay behind.
Having already rushed out of the door of the hotel, Lord Lawrence still heard Meng Han shouting from a distance: "Earl Lawrence, you really don't need money, please think about it again!"
Hearing this, Earl Lawrence staggered and almost fell to the ground. He rushed to his car in a panic and quickly got into the car. He anxiously ordered: "Go quickly, go quickly!" Leading the team,
He quickly left this place of right and wrong.
Meng Han looked at the Earl's embarrassed figure, and a real smile appeared on his face: "It seems that this is also a good way to ward off trouble." However, the smile on Meng Han's face did not last long, because he was already far away.
I saw Viscount Francis' car parked at the door of the hotel.
Coincidentally, when Viscount Francis got out of the car, he happened to see Earl Lawrence's car. Looking at the familiar figure, Viscount Francis frowned and walked directly into the hotel.
The personal guards who had already been ordered by Meng Han did not stop the Viscount at all. Francis quickly sat in front of Meng Han.
"Tony, this is a very troublesome thing." This is what Francis said when they met: "I don't know who leaked the fact that you bought the elf slave at the auction house. You are in danger now."
"Frank, are you here to tell me this?" Meng Han said this, but he didn't think so in his heart. Francis seems to be a playboy, but he is actually very organic. At least at this time, others
Before it was too late to avoid him, he took the initiative to come to the door. This did not require ordinary courage. At least, this time he stood firmly on Meng Han's side.
"No, Tony, I'm just here to help you figure out who wants you dead." Viscount Francis didn't hide his attitude at all, and didn't care whether the words made people feel uncomfortable. It's just that.
, although the words sounded uncomfortable, it was the truth. Those people really wanted him to die.
"I already have a candidate." Meng Han laughed. At this moment, he didn't seem to want to keep Francis a secret. He paused and added: "Maybe two."
"Two?" Frank's eyes lit up. Meng Han had his own goals, which was a good thing: "Which two sons of bitches are they? I'll help you kill them!"
"One is Cozmo, the great magician from the Magic Academy." Meng Han said the name without hesitation. Although he didn't know that Cozmo had made trouble in his magic trial, this man was very trustworthy.
He felt uncomfortable, and Meng Han had a bad impression of him.
"Aha, a great magician!" Francis exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Okay, he is dead, and there is another one?"
Meng Han was a little surprised at this moment. Francis's attitude made him really feel that Francis was making efforts to repair the relationship between them. Meng Han would not reject this good phenomenon. Behind Viscount Francis, stood the Marquis and the
The entire family can even account for almost one-fifth of the power in the principality.
"There is another one, the guy you just saw." Meng Han didn't even bother to say the name of Earl Lawrence. The finance minister of a principality was so frightened by a few words that he forgot what he was going to do. This
This kind of person, as the finance minister of the principality, is very disappointing.
"Him?" Francis frowned and thought for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "Maybe it's not him, but some people behind him."
Francis' words confused Meng Han, but since he said so, he must have his own reason. Meng Han didn't ask him why, but quietly waited for his explanation.
"If you die, who will benefit the most?" Francis did not explain directly, but asked such a question.
"If I die, these people will get nothing." Meng Han's words surprised Francis even more. He stared at Meng Han with his eyes wide open.
"First, I am in the silk business and cooperate with the elves, so I will not necessarily die." Meng Han also told some truths to Francis now. Anyway, now Frank is sincerely helping him: "
Second, if I die, the silk business will disappear and no one can get it. Unless he can reach a cooperative relationship with the elves."
"It seems that what I thought was right." Francis nodded and told Meng Han his secret without reservation: "I knew that you, this guy, would never be so easy to control by others. Okay.
, Tony, let’s continue. According to common sense, if you die, your territory will be taken back by the principality, so, naturally, your property will also be taken over by the principality. Now, do you know who it is? "
"Our Grand Duke?" Meng Han said this inference without surprise. Francis's reasoning was detailed enough for him to guess who it was.
"Or some of our Grand Duke's Highnesses." Francis added a few suspects to Meng Han, and then slowly analyzed on the side: "Can Zunrong Auction House auction two female elf slaves under those circumstances?
, I can’t think of anyone else.”
At this point, even Meng Han believed that no matter how powerful the auction house was, it would be impossible to compete with His Majesty the Grand Duke of the Principality. In that case, it seemed that there was only one possibility. And the original owner of the two elf female slaves
, perhaps it is His Majesty the Grand Duke himself, or those His Highnesses mentioned by Francis.
However, the wishful thinking was good, and it seemed that Meng Han's property was not something that could be occupied casually. This was something that no one expected.
"Frank, I think you should help me spread the news that the silk industry cannot be conquered." Meng Han suddenly laughed and looked at Viscount Francis: "I wonder if those people will return the favor after knowing the news.
If you can laugh happily, you will feel that you have succeeded."
Francis was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed out loud: "I also want to see what they look like." After saying that, he happily left the hotel.
After seeing Francis off, Meng Han did not return to his room, but motioned for Demi and Diana to go back first. He himself stood in the yard, facing a certain direction, and suddenly said something that surprised everyone
if.
"Dear guest, you have been standing here for a long time, can we talk?"
