"We seem to have been set up." The Marquis appeared in front of Meng Han and Francis with a very unkind expression.
Because of Francis, Meng Han treated the Marquis with the etiquette of a junior, rather than the aristocratic etiquette in official circles. This made the Marquis very satisfied, but when he appeared, he was not so relaxed.
.
"Being set up?" Meng Han was shocked. Who would target a little viscount like him? Besides, everyone knows now that without Meng Han, there would be no silk. Wouldn't setting him up at this time be blocking the way to make money? Look at it.
Looking at the gloomy face of the Marquis, Meng Han immediately realized that it was not directed at him, but at the Marquis. He was just a poor little fish in the pond who happened to get involved.
The Marquis occupies at least one-fifth of the power in the Principality. Even His Majesty the Grand Duke of the Principality is extremely afraid of the Marquis. This can be seen from his efforts to win over Viscount Francis. Such a big man
The power will naturally be met with hostility from many people. If given the chance, I would never mind Lord Yin giving him a hand.
"Our people have just received the news that, Tony, you purchased two elf slaves. Although it has no impact in the principality, it has already spread in our neighboring countries." The face of the Marquis has begun to look a little worried.
Qing couldn't help but be angry: "Those buyers were all notified before the auction, so no one made a bid and waited for us to take the bait."
"It's just rumors, there shouldn't be any big problems, right?" Meng Han also frowned. Such news cannot be blocked in the first place. Otherwise, why would the world be full of rumors?
"It's not a rumor, it's true!" The Marquis shook his head: "It is said that several elf masters have been seen coming towards the Stone Castle."
Hearing the words of the Marquis, Meng Han instantly understood the conspiracy of these guys hiding behind the scenes. During the auction, when the news was released, all the buyers did not dare to bid. Only the Marquis supported Meng Han. In this case
, after the auction, the Marquis must hand over the 600,000 gold coins to the auction house, and then Meng Han will die because of this news. In this way, the Marquis's 600,000 gold coins are equivalent to being burned.
Even if it is not the Marquis, any family that loses 600,000 gold coins is not a small number, it is definitely a breaking point. The family's power will be crazily weakened. And judging from the fact that no one bids, it seems that only
The Marquis doesn't know the news, so the target must be the Marquis and his family.
An elf master actually appeared and was seen? When Meng Han thought of Ivan's magic belt that bound his hair, he knew there must be something wrong with it. How could the elf masters in the human world be seen through by ordinary people?
?However, this cannot be said to the Marquis. The closeness of the relationship with the elves is Meng Han’s trump card. Even though it seems that the Marquis’ family is now tied to him, there are some trump cards that cannot be revealed casually.
It's open.
"Are these just rumors?" In any case, Meng Han still has the obligation to wake up: "Ordinary people have never seen elves appear in the human world. How could anyone see it this time? Or just a few elves.
Master, isn’t it too strange?”
"These are indeed a bit strange, but the news this time came from reliable channels and has a high degree of credibility." The Marquis glanced at Meng Han, seeming to appreciate that he could remain calm at this time. No.
Who could have remained so calm after hearing that the masters of the elves were coming to cause trouble for him? Meng Han was so sure, either because he was already confident, or because he had the demeanor of a general who is not afraid of changes. No matter what, for the Marquis,
That being said, these are all good signs.
Since the Marquis said it was a reliable channel, Meng Han would not argue with the Marquis whether this reliable channel was reliable or unreliable. Anyway, one thing is certain, that is, this time it was definitely set up.
"If it really doesn't work, you can go back on your word and pay a symbolic breach of contract. I believe there won't be much trouble." Meng Han understands the concerns of the Marquis. At this time, he can't say anything too extreme, just making innuendoes.
He said this: "Believe me, the owner of the goods, if I agree, the auction house has nothing to say."
"If I do this, it means that our family's hundreds of thousands of years of credit will no longer exist. No businessman will dare to do business with us, and no noble will dare to cooperate with us." The Marquis shook his head.
, said worriedly: "Their design is very poisonous. Anyway, whether it is a blow to gold coins or a blow to reputation, we cannot bear it."
As a modern soul, Meng Han can completely understand how difficult it will be after the collapse of credit. Under this situation, if it were Meng Han, he would rather just lose gold coins, and treat it as a broken muscle at most.
It's just a failed investment. But if there is a lack of credit, it will damage the foundation.
He knew it was a trap, but Meng Han still had to watch the Marquis jump. The opponent's cleverness lies in this. He knew it was a trap, and it was just a seemingly very simple trap. It was as simple as letting the exact information
Delivering it a little late achieved this effect. Such an enemy is really a smart guy.
To deal with the Marquis, it is obvious that the power of the Marquis family must be greatly weakened. Apart from the cooperation of several political enemies, the only thing that can do this is to be deeply wary of the power of the Marquis family.
His Majesty the Grand Duke. Of course, His Majesty the Grand Duke's two Highnesses can also be counted. Under normal circumstances, this kind of soft knife in the back is the most hurtful.
"Maybe things are not that bad." Meng Han smiled hard and turned to comfort the Marquis. However, in the eyes of the Marquis, Meng Han's smile was just a forced smile to comfort him. Don't forget
Now, the Marquis family is only facing the loss of gold coins, but Meng Han is facing the elf master coming to take his life. To be able to survive so "calmly" until now, in the eyes of the Marquis, Meng Han, a young boy, has already
It's very good.
"I hope so!" Lord Marquis quickly returned to normal. For him, an old cunning man who has experienced ups and downs for many years, the trouble before him is just one of several major obstacles he has experienced in his life.
That’s all. How to live the days from now on, how to live.
"I estimate that their next plan will be to target you." The Marquis, who has returned to normal, has also regained his sharp thinking and sensitivity in political struggles.
"Me?" Meng Han was startled, and then he immediately understood. The most critical part of all the conspiracies is that he must die. If Meng Han does not die, then the silk industry can be transferred normally, and the Marquis family can obtain a huge amount of money.
profits. All actions to suppress the Marquis will be in vain.
"Of course, you will live safely in the giant stone castle, under the protection of my power." At this time, the Marquis finally showed his tyranny: "All those who want to use their brains will be helpless.
So, you have been living a very healthy life." While accepting the worst outcome, the Marquis even burst out with a fighting spirit that was impossible to watch. When he spoke, he no longer felt as depressed as a miscalculated move.
.No one can be right all the time, but if mistakes happen, you can find ways to correct them.
"This is a good idea." Meng Han certainly knows what the Marquis means. At this time, everyone has the same hatred, and there is nothing else to talk about. Anyway, the Marquis wants to use the power of the family to protect Meng Han. Maybe
He and Francis had already thought of it when they made a desperate bet on Meng Han. All Meng Han had to do was cooperate: "But, sir, I still like to stay in that hotel."
"It doesn't matter where you live." The Marquis smiled and said: "In the Stone Castle, if anyone other than the elves wants to touch you, it will be a hard slap on the face of our beloved Grand Duke. No one will
I like to see His Majesty the Grand Duke's rage. Moreover, if the nobles of the Principality cannot be safely taken care of in the Stone Castle, His Majesty the Grand Duke is obviously no longer suitable to be the leader of the Principality."
"Of course, sir!" Meng Han also understood. Now the Marquis has concluded that the news about the elves is not true. No matter how reliable the news is, it is not what he saw with his own eyes. As long as the elves do not take action
, then the Marquis has reason to depose His Majesty the Grand Duke. As expected of the Marquis, he almost thought of a countermeasure after being depressed for a while.
"Do you still want to do the business you mentioned last time?" Lord Marquis refers to the business where Meng Han wants to purchase a large amount of resources. Lord Marquis will be the guarantee, and the payment will be made first and the goods will be received later.
"Of course, sir!" Meng Han seemed to have turned into a foolish young man who was fearless. He knew that his life might be threatened now, but he still didn't care: "But before that, we need to do one thing first."
"What's the matter?" Francis jumped out and asked curiously. It was obviously more appropriate for him to ask than the Marquis, and it was more in line with his identity.
"On the day when the elf slaves were auctioned, I was not the only one." Meng Han said with a smile: "I think, should we publicize the fact that everyone bid enthusiastically, and finally I came out on top? Let those present also
