I really can't control myself

There were not many people from the city guards, just a small team of nearly 300 people. The total number of city guards in the imperial city was 4,500, and they were responsible for the outer city. There were also 3,000 royal guards in the inner city, which were the permanent troops in the imperial city.

And of course there were troops outside the city, which could be transferred in at any time.

In comparison, these 300 people were indeed not many, but not few either.

The leader of this team was Duman, who Cossack had sent someone to notify before. He was one of the captains of the city guards and was considered a top figure in the imperial city. There were only a dozen captains like him, and he was a captain with real power, with 300 people under him.

Being able to be in charge of the guards in the imperial city, Duman's status was obviously not ordinary. He had actually been on the battlefield, and then retired after making merit.

Facing the situation in front of him, Duman did not directly step forward to greet Lucy Cossack and others, but directly asked his men to block both ends of the street and line up. He doesn't know what these merchants are doing now, but if you think that these hundreds of soldiers can do anything in the imperial city, then you look down on him.

Don't look at the armor worn by the caravan guards, they are rich after all, and they can be equipped with all the equipment. But when they really fight, the combat effectiveness of these people is completely incomparable to that of the regular army, the difference is like heaven and earth.

Although Duman only brought 300 people, the number is less than the sum of the two sides on the opposite side. But when the fight really starts, Duman is very confident that he can deal with all of them, and he won't even hurt a few people.

He is now blocking both ends, and the other side can't make any waves at all.

He is not blindly confident. In fact, just after the two ends are blocked, the caravan guards surrounded inside have begun to panic in the face of this majestic guard team. Many guards even saw his legs shaking. With just these soldiers, do you still expect them to achieve any results?

Duman understood very well that if the opponent was like this, they would collapse directly once the fight started, and it would be their unilateral harvest.

After doing all this, Duman was relieved to ride forward, because the situation had been controlled and it would not develop any more seriously.

"Cossack, what are you doing?" Duman's tone was very unfriendly, and he was also annoyed by this matter. Although Cossack usually showed him a lot of respect, the problem was that he looked down on these businessmen from the bottom of his heart.

Duman felt that he had received money, and at most he would not let his men cause trouble for Cossack, that's all. But now Cossack didn't know what trouble he had caused, and he actually wanted to find himself to settle it. Who gave him the courage?

However, this matter was indeed within his scope of responsibility, so he brought people here. But he didn't plan to support Cossack, and even felt that this guy had to be beaten, otherwise he would climb up the pole and disgust him sooner or later.

"Sir, I don't know what happened. You saw it, this is my house. The Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce on the other side brought so many people to surround my house. I also want to know what they want to do." Cossack said very innocently.

In fact, Duman knew who was on the other side. The person who sent the letter before also said that it was from the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce, so he brought 300 people. Otherwise, if it was someone else, such as a spy from another country, or a killer guild, he would definitely notify other captains to come together, and he couldn't just bring these few people.

But he couldn't reveal that he had a private connection with Cossack, which would be attacked by others. Fortunately, Cossack was very sensible and knew how to answer. He immediately explained the situation.

"Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce?" Duman looked to the other side, "Where is the president of the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce? By the way, the previous one seems to be dead, right? Who is the president now? Come out and answer."

Duman knew that Feldman was poisoned to death because the city guards were also helping to investigate the matter. Isn't this also a murder case that happened within his jurisdiction? But he didn't pay much attention to it. He was not responsible for investigating the case. He was just assisting. As for who the current president of Qiwan Chamber of Commerce was, he certainly didn't know.

"I am Lucy Feldman, the current president of Qiwan Chamber of Commerce." Lucy stepped forward, which surprised Duman. He didn't expect that the president of Qiwan Chamber of Commerce was a woman.

"Hehe, you are very brave. You dare to make trouble in my jurisdiction." But Duman quickly came back to his senses and said fiercely, "You'd better give me a perfect explanation, otherwise, I won't be polite to you just because you are a woman. The cells of our city guard station do not recognize men and women."

"My lord, I came here for official business." Lucy said calmly without showing any timid expression.

"Official business? You are a businessman, how can you have any official business?" Duman laughed directly, "Why? Did His Majesty send you an imperial edict?"

"There is no imperial edict, but the Prime Minister just gave me a letter of appointment." Lucy said, and took a few steps forward, and then held out a scroll with both hands.

Duman was stunned for a moment, and the other party really took it after he said it casually. He frowned and suddenly realized that things seemed not as simple as he thought.

He stepped forward to take the thing in the other party's hand. Duman took a look and found that it was really an official document. The content was also very simple, which was to appoint Lucy as the vice president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. The content of the official document actually has a lot of content, but it is just this meaning over and over again, and the other information does not reveal any information at all.

As mentioned before, the vice president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce is not an official position, so the appointment does not need to go through Linton's hands. Prime Minister Terrad just needs to approve a note, which is just an ordinary official document.

But Terrad approved it casually, and the people below dare not respond casually.

Duman looked at the appointment letter and sweated.

On the one hand, the official document was indeed stamped with the seal of the Prime Minister's Mansion at the end. This is of course true. Who dares to make a fake prime minister's seal in the imperial city privately? Your whole family doesn't want it, right?

And the second point, more important point, what is the name of the chamber of commerce where Lucy was appointed? Royal Chamber of Commerce.

Duman didn't know anything about the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and had never heard of it, but things with the word royal are destined to be not simple.

Duman didn't know how much gold content the vice president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce had, but he didn't dare to manage it now. Of course, he was not afraid of Lucy in front of him. He was afraid of ruining the Prime Minister's business, and even more afraid of ruining His Majesty's business.

"Then the official business you are talking about is..." Duman's attitude obviously changed this time, and he really couldn't be tough anymore.

"I brought people here this time mainly because I suspected that President Cossack used illegal means to interfere with the affairs of my Royal Chamber of Commerce. I wanted to ask him to go back and inquire about the situation, but the Lord also saw that this guy was ready to resist. Since the Lord is here, please help me, so that I can complete my task earlier and report to the Prime Minister." Lucy said with a smile.
