Gold is Justice

Perhaps, as the president of his family said, the entire Pelican City still lacks something... lacks the power to spread these thoughts.

But what exactly is this power?

So far, this remains a mystery.

August in midsummer is a difficult day for most races on the Golden Continent.

Even as nobles in the human race, they still have a lot of suffering when facing such an environment. They must try their best to find some cool things to do, so as to avoid the midsummer day after day.

As nobles, the exchange party between each other has become the best place to enjoy the cool air.When the sun set on the hillside, the nobles who accepted the invitation gathered together, and then wore cool single clothes, drank iced drinks, and enjoyed the live light music of the band in the spacious courtyard planted with a lot of green plants. , while tasting delicious food.If you really feel that you are too angry, then just take a maid who carries the dishes to those remote corners, so that you will become very refreshed after a while.

Tonight, the dinner will be held in the Viscount's mansion in Lagoon City.

This mansion, which is slightly away from the downtown area, has the best location in the whole city.It was built on a small soil slope, and even standing on the lowest gate, you can see the whole city.

Now, the entire Viscount's mansion is lit up with lights. Under the bright light of the fire, the nobles gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing, bragging with each other, showing off their new mistresses, and showing everyone their newly bought luxury goods. Taste.

The nobles invited to this dinner are undoubtedly local celebrities, as well as those noble lords in many marginal provinces and nearby provinces.The conversation was happy, and some people also stayed here, and then waited for the next dinner party to continue again.

At this moment, in that spacious courtyard, Viscount Rich was wearing a thin silk singlet and a pair of trousers decorated with gold silk edging on the lower body, lying on a carved bamboo and rattan recliner, squinting, admiring the Watching the dancers in front of me dance lightly.

Seeing the maneuvering place, he tilted his head, took a sip of sweet iced wine under the service of the maid next to him, felt the coolness from his tongue to his stomach, breathed out comfortably, and stretched out on the recliner again .

"Viscount Rich! Hahaha, why are you watching the dance here alone?"

A voice came from the side, and Viscount Rich turned his head away, only to see a handsome young man about 25 or six years old in front of him.He laughed and said, "So it's Baron Jason! Come, come and lie down here together! Look, these girls dance really well! Those who watch it really itch~ ~~!"

As he said that, Viscount Rich patted his stomach, and said with a smile, "If it wasn't for my figure, I would really want to go up and invite them to dance together. Sigh~~~ I really should lose weight~ ~~!"

Baron Jason laughed and said, "Look at what you said, if you want, why can't you invite them to dance together? Mr. Walder, don't forget that you are already a Viscount now, a You are a nobleman. Since you are a nobleman, you must have some aristocratic airs! You can’t be like before, always thinking that you can’t invite these partners to dance as a gentleman.”

Rich smiled again, nodded, and said, "Oh, that's true! It's time for me to fix these rotten problems. It's okay! Anyway, it's still a long time tonight, I'll wait a little longer and rest!" It's so comfortable to lie down like this, and it's not too late to work later. You should also lie down! It's really comfortable here!"

Jason shrugged, and also lay down on a recliner next to Rich.When the maid next to him brought the drink, he said, "Is there any good business you can do recently? If there is money to be made, can you bring my little brother along with you?"

Rich shook his head, and said with a proud face: "Yes, of course! Oh, my fishing business is really booming! But...Jason, don't be angry when I say these words, you have A ship? If there is a ship, we can work together."

Jason smiled and said, "Although I don't have a boat, I just made a small sum of money recently, so I can make some investments. Fishery? Viscount Rich, it's a bit too slow to get money from fishery. You see, now the best Do you know what a profitable business is?"

As soon as he heard that there was money to be made, Rich's eyes shifted from the dancing girl over there to Jason, and asked curiously and excitedly, "The most profitable business? What is that?"

Jason said proudly: "Hey, I won't hide it from you. The most profitable business now is Du Lengjia's dealer qualification! Viscount Rich, if we can get the dealer qualification, then Next time, to make money, you can really close your eyes and lie down to make money!"

Rich was taken aback for a moment, looking a little confused: "Du Lengjia? Isn't that stuff only sold exclusively by the Royal Pharmacists' Association?"

Jason put on a contemptuous face and said, "Look at what you said, it was indeed an exclusive sale before, but as the business grows, it can't be that people from the Medical Association work all day long, right? They also want to You want easy money, don't you?"

Seeing that Rich was still a little nervous, Jason smiled and said, "I won't cheat on you, Viscount, for no reason. I~~~ I made a little money recently, and I happened to know you in the Pharmacists Association. Some people. But, if you want to make money, I am such a little baron, with such a little money, even if someone has connections, I am really looked down upon. At the very least, those in the Pharmacists Association hope to be able to With the support of the real industry, so that you can give me the sales qualification with more confidence." "So, I am worried~~~"

"But after I saw Viscount Rich today, I immediately thought of something!"

Jason tilted his head and said with a smile——

"Viscount Rich, you see, you have a chamber of commerce and a boat. If you are willing to join Du Lengjia's sales, I am willing to be a bridge between them and make a little money! After getting the sales qualification certificate, your fishing boat Don't go fishing, and sell Du Lengjia outside directly by driving your ship, wouldn't it be faster to make money?"

Facing Jason's words, the hesitation on Rich's face gradually turned into excitement and excitement.Make money!As long as there is faster, easier, and more convenient money to earn, what money is not earned?

It's just that Rich is still a business veteran after all. Although he already has some approval in his heart, he still has to say: "Well, indeed. Can I meet that friend of yours some time? Don't worry, as long as you can make money I will definitely remember your kindness!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, raised their glasses of wine and lightly collided to conclude a deal.

But at this moment, another voice came from behind the two——

"Hey? You two are chatting happily now? Brother Rich, you still have time to do business with peace of mind? Don't you know that your Pelican City is about to be turned upside down?"

The two nobles turned their heads and saw the lord of Lagoon City, Viscount Norris Paxas, who was also holding a glass of amber wine, with a serious expression on his face, slowly walking over.

Jason stood up quickly, but Norris quickly sat him down.

After pulling out a chair next to the servant and placing it in front of the two of them, Norris sat down gracefully, put the wine glass in his hand on the tray of the servant kneeling next to him, and looked at Rich.

Rich looked surprised, and said, "Pelican City?...Ah, you mean that Ariel became the mayor? She sent someone to inform me, so I know about it. "

Jason looked surprised. He straightened up from the recliner and said, "Mayor? A woman? Viscount Rich, you have a big heart! Let a woman be the mayor? I've never heard of such a thing before." Pass!"

Viscount Rich looked proud, and said, "Why? Look down on this woman? I think she has no problem being the mayor. She helped me earn a lot of money. After becoming the mayor, I believe she can help me earn a lot of money. More money! Anyway, I am completely relieved that Pelican City is in her hands, and I just need to wait to collect the money in the future. Is there any problem with this?"

Jason's brows were still furrowed, still showing an expression of disbelief.After thinking for a while, he turned to Norris over there and said, "Viscount Norris, do you think this is all right?"

Norris exhaled slowly, and said: "In terms of ability, I have no problem with that Ariel Garcia. In fact, she really broke my stereotyped impression of women. She is a She is a strong woman far beyond what I imagined. In this regard, I have to admire her. Besides, as the mistress of the second prince of the royal family of the Blue Bay Empire, and with the blessing of our current crown prince, she will be the mayor There is nothing to object to."

Rich took another sip of the drink next to him, and said with a smile, "Isn't it? Don't you think it's okay for her to be the mayor? If that's the case, why do you still say that Pelican City is going to be turned upside down? Isn't it self-inflicted?" Conflict? Hahaha!"

Regarding Rich's current ease, Norris still didn't have any relaxed color on his face.With his hands on his knees, he looked at the heartless expression of this nouveau riche aristocrat, and when he laughed enough, he began to feel that there was indeed something wrong with his smile, then he opened his mouth slowly and said——

"I have no problem with her becoming the mayor. If she can use the mayor's status to make money, I have no problem. But, Viscount Rich, you don't know what she said and did after she became the mayor. What happened. When you know what she said and did, you will understand that this woman really wants to turn the sky around in Pelican City."

Seeing Norris's serious expression now, Rich also knew that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he said, "So... what's going on here? What did that woman do?"

Norris exhaled and said slowly: "That woman, publicly declared that we nobles are no more noble than those commoners. Openly stated that all our wealth was obtained by depriving those untouchables. She even wanted to build a school, whether it is For those untouchables, women, and even prisoners, she must impart knowledge to them, teach them to read and write, and let them know what arithmetic is."

"In other words, all the things that woman is doing now are against our corner. Viscount Rich, as the lord of Pelican City, don't you care? If this continues, I'm worried about you The lord will not last long, and in the end he will be taken directly by that woman!"

Hearing these words, the expression on Rich's face stiffened suddenly.

Jason next to him also frowned and said, "Isn't that right? I heard that the untouchables from several villages and towns gathered to attack Pelican City together? Some people from the village under my jurisdiction also participated. What? Didn’t those attacks shake the foundation of that woman? At least let her lose some money.”

The first thousand 240 eight chapters women should be judged

When Rich heard this, he immediately stared at Jason with wide eyes: "People in your village attacked my Pelican City?!"

At that moment, Jason knew he had said the wrong thing, and quickly put on a smile and said, "Accident! It's really an accident! I didn't expect those untouchables to be so ignorant. I don't know what they thought, so they all ran away at once." Attacking Pelican City, I can't even stop it!"

Viscount Rich snorted, and said, "You should be thankful that the loss of Pelican City this time is not too great. Otherwise, I would have to discuss with you about the loss of my town."

Jason hurriedly laughed, with a complimenting smile on his face.Coupled with his handsome face, it really doesn't look annoying.

Norris, who was next to him, shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, are you still thinking about yourself? The most important thing now is not the issue of town attacks. The most important thing is that woman's current slogan , are you not worried at all?"

As a new nobleman who bought a title, Rich is not very sensitive about these things.He thought for a while, with doubts on his face, and said, "Is there... is there anything worth worrying about? If she wants to manage Pelican City well, then she must say good things to please the citizens, right?"

Norris shook his head again, and said: "This is not just to say good things to please, that woman has completely pointed the finger at the nobles! Don't you still have a little bit of self-awareness about this matter? Viscount Rich, If your heart is still that big, you won't be a nobleman for long."

Hearing that his noble status might be deprived, Viscount Rich got a little nervous.A flustered expression immediately appeared on his face, and he said, "Why?! Norris, don't scare me! I paid a lot of money for this noble title! If I lose it, I will Sorry about my family!"

Seeing the embarrassing appearance of this upstart aristocrat, Norris looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

But even if you look down on him, there is nothing you can do. Who made this guy have the same Viscount status as himself now?Moreover, the matter of that woman happened within his territory, so it is necessary to unite with him to suppress these matters.

"Viscount Rich, I suggest you find some time to really have a good chat with that woman."

"I don't have any opinion on what else she said, but this woman publicly advocates that those untouchables should not submit to nobles simply because of their reputation and status. This kind of propaganda is not a good sign. You must at least let her Recognize the fact that she is an aristocrat herself, and let her know whose side she is on."

"If she continues to proclaim that the identities of the nobles and those untouchables are completely equal, then I can't guarantee that some untouchables will finally take it seriously and start attacking your Schwann Castle, demanding to live in the same place as you House, have the same wealth. And if this is the case, the future when those pariahs attack you in the end will definitely not be too long."

After saying such words, Rich's face turned blue and then turned pale. After he finished speaking, he thought about it for a while, and cold sweat began to form on his back!

At that moment, the nobleman clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "How is this possible?! My wealth has been accumulated by my ancestors from generation to generation! The money is also earned by myself through hard work! Those commoners rely on Why do you think they should live the same life as me? If they can't, they still want to rob me?!"

Norris nodded slightly, and said slowly: "It seems that you finally understand. Yes, this is the crux of the problem. That's why I hope you can have a good chat with that woman and let her calm down a little bit. .If she is really stupid, then we may have to resort to some less 'polite' means."

Rich was taken aback for a moment, and he more or less understood the meaning of Norris' words.But when he thought that these methods would be used on the guild leader who had helped him earn so much money, he still hesitated.

After hesitating for a moment, Viscount Rich rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "No... I still know her. She is a girl who likes to make money... She has a little luck and perseverance... We don't have to go too far...and the royal family is in it...this kind of thing...however this kind of thing is..."

Speaking of the latter, even Rich himself found himself a little incoherent.But the current situation made it difficult for him to make a decision, so he could only frown and rub the bridge of his nose.These troubled emotions even made him not in the mood to continue watching those beautiful dancers.

Jason, who had been listening to the present, looked at the two viscounts, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly said: "Mr. Wald, Mr. Paxas, it seems that the new mayor of Pelican City Sir, is it a headache for the two of you? Hmm...can you introduce this lady to me a little bit? I heard some rumors about her before, and although I thought it seemed remarkable, the specific details were not very clear."

Rich rubbed his temples, exhaled, and said, "You want to know? I thought her story was widely spread."

Jason smiled and said, "You are joking. At best, you are a guild leader. At worst, you are a mayor. I don't have that much energy to keep my attention."

Norris on the side also said: "This is indeed... Viscount Rich, although I have had a lot of shouts with this woman, I am still surprised by many things. It's like the last time I went to the imperial city, Even if it broke my head, I never thought that she would still have something to do with the royal family." After hesitating for a while, Rich patted his thigh and said, "Okay! Since you want to know, then I will tell you Talk about it! I don’t need to think about it when I talk about it, and you can also help me think of a way.”

After clearing his throat a little, Rich collected his thoughts and said——

"As far as I know, Ariel Garcia, the president of the Mermaid Song, was born in the family of the Duke of Jinguo."

Upon hearing the name Duke of Jinguo, Baron Jason, who had just held a little disdain and contempt for Ariel, suddenly shrank his neck, and his whole face changed from a sneer to shock, and even brought a little panic.

Not only Jason, but even Norris next to him is pale now, he couldn't help pinching his fingers, and said softly: "She...she belongs to the Duke? Behind her... is the Duke?! The Duke's private Have a girl?!"

Rich shook his head and continued: "It's not that complicated. Although she was born in the Duke's mansion of Jin Guo, in essence, she is a maid in the mansion of the Duke."

Squinting his eyes, Rich once again thought about the past he talked about when he chatted with Ariel and the information he got when he communicated with other people in Mermaid Song, and continued to say——

"She is very lucky, because the Duke of Jinguo has a very beloved daughter, and she is just the same age as the Duke of Jinguo's daughter. Even, as you should know, she and the prince who is now the second prince Princess Alice Bilan has the same blond hair, so she was arranged beside the Duke's daughter as an exclusive maid since she was a child."

"With such a level of favor, she was able to attend the Old Tengshu Academy with Mrs. Alice Bilan. Because you also know that it is impossible for the old Tengshu to arrange for women to study in the Department of Fighting or Magic, so they can only Enrolled in the Department of Economics, which mixes various disciplines. Therefore, in name, Ariel Garcia, a maid, entered the Department of Economics under the name of the Queen, and the Queen also entered the academy. Fighting system."

Hearing this, Norris finally nodded as if suddenly enlightened, and said, "I see! No wonder she said that she graduated from Lao Tengshu School of Economics. She is not lying when she says that."

Jason smiled slightly and said, "I also know about the old Teng Shu's system, it's almost an open unspoken rule. And then? How could this maid of the duke's family become a guild president later?" gone?"

Rich shook his head and said: "I don't know exactly what happened. I only know that after graduation, she came to Pelican Town to start this guild and focused on making money. I can only say that although She was born as a maid, but after all, she came out of the Duke's mansion. Her upbringing and knowledge are really nothing to say! Sigh... She was disguised as a man at the time, and she was disheveled all day long. She wore a big hat and A lot of jokes were made. To be honest! If I could recognize her as a daughter back then, I would have proposed to her immediately! If such a good wife is married, I don’t care if she is a maid or a slave. If you can help me make money, I will make it!"

At this point, Norris couldn't help pinching his chin, laughed haha, and said, "That's right, that's right! When I found out that Arrow turned out to be Ariel, I was also surprised. Then I thought about her All hatred and vigilance disappeared immediately at that moment, and the first thought was to propose to her immediately, marry her back, and make her a Viscountess. Let alone her knowledge and ability, just relying on her With her beauty and figure, the children she will give birth to must be excellent!"

Jason had never seen Ariel before, and when he heard the two men talk about this man with such longing looks, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and said, "What? Is this Ariel beautiful? A maid?"

Norris laughed and said, "Our Second Concubine, you know?"

Jason nodded: "I know, who doesn't know the title of the number one beauty in the Blue Bay Empire?"

Norris: "Then if I say that this maid and our first beauty have their own beauty, how would you feel?"

In response, Jason immediately opened his mouth wide, feeling as if he had been punched and stunned.It took a long time before I came back to my senses, and said in amazement: "No—would—right?! So beautiful?!"

The Swiss Viscount squeezed his chin, closed his eyes, and kept thinking: "Well~~Although Viscount Norris is a bit exaggerated, I don't think the exaggeration is too much. I have also met the Second Concubine. If the Second Emperor Concubine is the kind of beauty who is as gentle as water, warms people like the sunshine in spring, and makes everyone feel very warm when they see it..."

Norris snapped his fingers: "Then this maid is the complete opposite, giving people a more... elusive, indescribable, and even thorny feeling of a woman. Sometimes her body does not Exudes any sense of danger, but it always takes a strong sense of courage to approach her...Okay, okay, the topic has moved away, let's talk back to the topic first. Viscount Rich, that woman next How's it going?"

It took Rich a while to pull himself back from his earlier delusion, coughed, and continued—

"After that, she started to make money desperately, worked hard to make money, and used all kinds of methods to make money. Sometimes when I asked her why she was so impatient, she just said very vaguely that she had a bet , must earn enough money.”

"Then, in last year's guild championship battle, she returned to Hanhai City with the mermaid song she formed, and won the championship. After that, Miss Alice Jin Guo successfully married our second prince Tidal and violent waves became the second imperial concubine. As the second imperial concubine's personal maid, she also naturally entered the imperial family and became the second imperial concubine's mistress."

At this point, Rich wanted to continue talking, but Jason suddenly imitated Norris and snapped his fingers, saying, "I see!"
