Arknights is too real, right?

With General Grissom's status, the Imperial Military Department must have his own people, so there is no doubt about the accuracy of the intelligence.

Moreover, Tang Hua is a level 2 noble who has committed a serious crime, so it is not a secret as to which mine he will be assigned to.

According to the information provided by General Gleason, the location of Tanghua's distribution was decided by the Yuan Congress. The exact location was a large quarry near the town of Shenglan in the south.

This quarry is large in scale and integrates mining and processing. It produces hundreds of thousands of tons of various ores every year and is one of the largest mines in the southern region.

The reason why Xia Feng found Lin Hai was because Shenglan Town, where the mine is located, is a town under the jurisdiction of Shengdi City and is located not far from the eastern suburbs of Shengdi City.

Just like the light manganese mining area in Hapi City, the mine in Shenglan Town is also a royal mine, and the usual management and mining are all completed by the assigned local nobles.

Tang Hua was sent directly from the north to the farthest coastal area in the south. Xia Feng didn't know whether it was because the royal family wanted to be out of sight, out of mind, or because Princess Weilin did it on purpose.

However, this result saved him some trouble.

Through communication with Lin Hai, this matter went unexpectedly smoothly and may be ten thousand times easier than he had expected.

The nobles responsible for managing the mines in Shenglan Town are called the Luokeda family, and they are the second-level nobles in the south.

Through Lin Hai's explanation, Xia Feng quickly understood the relationship between the characters. To put it bluntly, the Rokeda family and Lin Hai were actually "big traitors" who wore a pair of trousers and were in cahoots with each other.

When the Leaf family managed the light manganese mining area, 80% of the total annual output had to be handed over to the royal family, leaving only 20% for smuggling profits. After cooperating with the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, this smuggling ratio increased from 20% to 30%. But this is only within a few months.

But this Luokeda family is too much.

Because the stone was not as valuable as the light manganese ore, the family concentrated on mining, and the ratio of handing it over to the royal family was almost 50:50.

At the same time, they received mining fees issued by the royal family, and even the wages of workers were paid by the royal family.

As for the embezzled half, they smuggled it all over the country through cooperation with the Haimen Gang. Several relatively rare ores were even smuggled to foreign countries by sea.

After listening to Lin Hai's explanation, Xia Feng patted his thigh.

"Harm, isn't this one of our own?"

Of course, it is inappropriate to refer to one of our own, as the Roqueda family can only be regarded as "insiders."

Later, Lin Hai learned about saving Tang Hua from Xia Feng. This was Lin Hai's first contact with this kind of thing, but he solemnly promised on the phone that he would do everything possible to communicate with the Rokeda family.

In the past, Lin Hai had expressed many times that he was willing to go through fire and water for his brother Xia Feng. Now that something really happened, he still wanted to prove it with practical actions.

If Lin Hai agreed to help, it would save him the trouble of communication, but the matter itself still required him to come forward in person.

Xia Feng and A Guang drove to Shengdi City that night.

Now Hongdao and the others have gone to the natural disaster area, so he can only go out with Aguang. Of course, there is a high probability that this matter will not need to be solved by force.

2 days later.

When Xia Feng's car drove into the city of Disheng under the rising sun, more than 100 black cars were parked on both sides of the road to greet him.

Xia Feng still remembered that the last time he came to Shengdi City, Lin Hai only asked a hall leader to pick him up, but this time, almost the whole gang was dispatched, and the pomp was more grand than the mayor receiving royal family members.

Lin Hai himself stood at the front of the motorcade, with four hall leaders standing behind him.

Seeing Xia Feng's car coming, hundreds of Haimen gang members shouted in unison.

"Hello, Brother Feng!"

This time Lin Hai could be said to have given face to the extreme, but with the current cooperative relationship between Heiyu and the Haimen Gang, this approach is not excessive.

To welcome the God of Wealth, no amount of ostentation is too much.

Xia Feng didn't come here to play this time. He even skipped the reception banquet arranged by Lin Hai. Judging by the time, Tang Hua probably should have arrived by then.

Lin Hai said that he had communicated with the Luokeda family, but the other party's attitude was somewhat hesitant, which is understandable.

After all, the Rokeda family is also a second-level noble. Felons who have just been assigned to serve by the royal family are immediately released. If this matter is exposed, it will be a "crime of deceiving the emperor."

Of course, the Rokeda family did not say that they would never let him go. It depends on human nature and this matter still needs to be discussed.

Of course Xia Feng will not refuse to discuss, because he is here to discuss, and he is now particularly good at "discussing" with nobles.

Xia Feng has already concluded that there are several things that are useless when dealing with the nobles of Victoria.

First, money is useless because people don’t have enough money.

Second, the threat of force is useless, because the nobles can ask surrounding troops to come to rescue at any time.

Third, it’s useless to beg in a humble manner, as it will only make these guys slap their noses in the face.

There is only one way to deal with this invulnerable and arrogant guy.

Even if he is standing on the ground and you are standing on a tree, this gap cannot allow them to compromise.

You need to let them understand that you are not standing on a tree to negotiate with them, but standing in the sky to give them a chance.

The residence of the Roqueda family.

Lin Hai sat next to Xia Feng and introduced a middle-aged man opposite the sofa.

"Master Luo Xi, this is Xia Feng, the boss of Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, and also my most important partner."

The current head of the Rock family, Rosie, stared at Xia Feng with some contempt.

"So young?"

Xia Feng cleared his throat and reached into his pocket. It seemed that he had to prove to Mr. Roque that youth did not mean light weight.

20 minutes later.

Rossi was sweating profusely and staring at the coffee table in front of the sofa.

On the coffee table, the Shenyue Knife was lying quietly on the table. Next to the Shenyue Knife, three business cards were placed flatly.

The first business card was completely black, with only a [BS] logo on it.

The second business card was made of metal and had the personal phone number of the Commander-in-Chief of the Border Defense Military Region on it.

The third business card was white as snow and was the personal contact information of Yi Nanxue, chairman of Snow Emperor Group.

Within 20 minutes, Xia Feng explained to Mr. Roque in detail the meanings and functions of these three business cards. In order to prove their authenticity, he also dialed the numbers on several business cards.

On the sofa, Xia Feng's voice was neither urgent nor slow.

"Mr. Rossi, you must know the reason why Tang Hua of the Liye family was sent to your mine."

Rosie was sweating profusely.

"I've heard some."

"Okay, let me tell you the truth. Tang Hua is taking the blame for me. In other words, when he digs rocks in the mine, it means I am digging. Mr. Rossi, you shouldn't be so cruel to let me do it." Let me dig rocks for you.”

Rossi stared at the three business cards on the coffee table and already understood.

First of all, he knew that Xia Feng did not dare to threaten his life here, but with the strength of this young man, he could easily do another thing.

That is, if Xia Feng is willing, the Rokeda family will not be able to smuggle even one kilogram of ore anywhere from now on.

Seeing Rosie's expression, Xia Feng said earnestly.

"Mr. Rossi, I don't mean to embarrass you, but please think about it. Tang Hua's current situation may be your situation one day in the future."

"I"

"Sometimes, helping others is also helping yourself. After all, this is southern Victoria."

Xia Feng's final expression was very obscure, but with Rossi's IQ, he already understood the meaning.

After fully understanding the strength of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, Rossi understood.

The situation in southern Victoria has changed after Xia Feng returned alive from the Royal Court, because Xia Feng was the first gang boss in several years to be infected and coexist with a noble status.

From this moment on, the royal family has the final say during the day in southern Victoria, but the summer breeze will have the final say at night.

As long as the Roqueda family still wants to "forage" at night, they cannot go against the young man's wishes.
