Gold is Justice

But Fleisch laughed at this moment. He turned his head, looked at the man, and said with a smile, "You finally figured it out?"

The man was crying, and nodded repeatedly: "I understand... I understand everything! I will give you the money... But... But I really don't have any money...! If you are willing to give me a little time... I'll just borrow it! Steal it! Grab it!"

"No, no, no need to be so troublesome. Now that Pelican City is conducting security management, our Thunder Army is under the banner of Pelican City, so we can't let Lord Earl find it troublesome just because we ask you for money."

Fleisch shook his head very simply, he squatted down in front of the oppressed man again, took a puff of a cigarette, and said with a smile——

"It's easy to pay back the money. I remember your wife is pretty, right? Besides, you have a very cute daughter, don't you?"

When he mentioned his family, the man immediately twitched.

Fleisch, on the other hand, looked familiar, and continued: "Don't worry, although your wife is a bit old, some guests still like this look. As for your daughter, you can also sell it for a good price." And I think this is also a relief for you, I remember you complained about the hard work of raising your wife and daughter before, right?"

The man's eyes began to flicker, and his tone became humble: "But...but...don't...they...they are my love...don't..."

Fleisch continued as if he couldn't hear such a voice at all, "I want to tell you some good news. Recently, some customers just took a fancy to your wife and daughter and wanted to buy them to be his wife and daughter. You think, instead of letting your wife and daughter follow you as a waste, is it better to let them have a better home? On the other hand, you know? That guest is willing to give you this amount. "

As he said that, Fleisch waved his hand in front of the man. Seeing the price that Flesh indicated, the expression on the man's face suddenly changed from nervousness and fear to surprise.

Seeing the other party's expression changed, Fleisch also smiled and said: "How? It's fair, right? After finishing this business, you can not only pay off all the debts, but also have a balance. If you can use these If the money comes back, you can get your wife and daughter back later, and let them live a good life with you. Isn't that good?"

Listening to Fleisch's narration, the expression on the man's face began to change completely.Seeing this, Fleisch winked at the Thunder soldiers on both sides, and the crowd stopped suppressing him and let him think for himself.

what's the result?

It turned out, well.

For "everything", it's fine.

When Fleisch happily went to the Song of the Mermaid with a money bag full of money the next day, while looking at Ariel with a smile, he handed over the so-called "gambling money" to In Song of the Mermaid, this result should be regarded as a perfect ending in all respects.

The first thousand and 440 chapters and six differences

"The recent business is really good! My lord, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I had some doubts about you before."

Today, Fleisch walked into the gate of the guild again, placed the box he was carrying respectfully in front of Ariel, and opened it.With regard to the piles of banknotes inside, the general of the Thunder Army said cheerfully——

"But now I don't have any doubts anymore. You really are a capable person! Our Thunder Army can follow you, it is really the most correct thing I have ever done!"

At this time, the entire guild hall was silent.

Even though the midday sun is so bright outside right now, September temperatures are scorching hot, making the world look brighter than ever!

Even so... But in this guild hall, those guild members silently watched the boss of the Thunder Army and several of his followers, and the whole atmosphere gradually became colder.

Of course, Fleischer also quickly felt this unharmonious atmosphere.The smile on his face gradually stopped, he raised his head, and looked at the frowning Ariel who was looking at him.At the same time, they also turned their heads to look at Song of the Mermaid's assassins, shield warriors, paladins, and necromancers.

Looking into the eyes of these people, Fleisch knew that something might not be right, but for a moment he didn't know what was wrong.

In this way, as the atmosphere in the hall gradually became anxious, Ariel could no longer remain silent like this.

She stretched out her hand and silently closed the box full of banknotes in front of her. After a moment of silence, she said slowly——

"Mr. Fleisch, during this period of time, your Thunder Army...are you working under Cream's command?"

Fleisch also gradually put away the smile on his face.He glanced at Cream who looked complicated over there, nodded, and said, "Yes, Lord Earl. Our army is going to be reorganized and gradually integrated into the city defense system of Pelican City. These guys are all working with Mr. Cream first."

Ariel pinched the bridge of her nose slightly, as if she had made up her mind, exhaled slowly, and said——

"You've done a good job. It's just... starting today, no matter if it's Cream's security team or your Thunder Army, don't do such things again."

Not only Fleisch, but also the soldiers of the Thunder Army behind him now showed puzzled expressions.They looked at me and at you, with fear and anxiety written all over their faces.

Fleisch said hastily: "My lord, may I ask you that you don't want us to do things... mean you don't want us to do things?"

Ariel glanced at the box under her palm, patted it lightly, and continued: "You don't need to do things like collecting bets..."

Fleisch was slightly taken aback by Ariel's response.But then he straightened up, put on a gesture of disapproval and said, "Then the Earl must have found a better way to collect the betting money?"

Ariel shook her head lightly: "No."

Now, Fleisch's fists were slightly clenched, but the expression on his face was still as respectful as possible to Ariel: "Then...it seems that there are people who do a better job than us and collect money faster, so Earl Your Excellency thinks that our ability to work is too poor to bear the heavy responsibility?"

Ariel licked her lips, as if trying to hide her panic, and shook her head again: "It's not..."

"Huh..." Fleisher and the soldiers behind him stood still. He exhaled softly, and once again suppressed the uneasiness and anger in his heart, he said, "Then, it must be our Thunder Army who are blending in." Did you not work hard enough in Pelican City, or did something not do well enough to anger the Earl, and that’s why you decided to punish us like this?"

The atmosphere became more and more tense. Although the members of the Thunder Army still looked very polite, the guild members could still feel that it was full of obvious anger.

Brad couldn't help but want to touch the shield behind him, but Suta next to him reached out to stop him.

"I'll just say it."

Ariel crossed her hands, placed it on top of the box, and said slowly——

"Fleisch, your Thunder Army is very safe in our city. It can be seen that you have warned them not to disturb the people. So I am very glad that Pelican City... no, it is a marginal province that can have a team like you The addition of a new force."

"Also, you have done a good enough job in collecting bets. This is a proof of your ability to work. Moreover, I don't have any intention of replacing you."

"I...the reason why I want to stop letting you continue to collect gambling money in the future is because...I want to stop the gambling industry..."

Hearing Ariel's response, in an instant, the anger, anxiety and anxiety on Fleisch's face turned into incomprehensible confusion.

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head lightly, with a sympathetic smile on his face again, and said, "My lord count, is this a bad joke?"

Ariel: "I'm not kidding."

Fleischer: "Ah...then I want to stop the gambling industry...that's right, there are still several games left. If the game is opened every time, the lottery will be cut too quickly, and it will not grow. When the final game is opened, it may It’s not good in terms of quantity... That’s okay, how long is the Earl planning to stay?”

As if Fleisch didn't understand Ariel's words on purpose, Ariel also showed that she didn't understand Fleisch's words, she continued to shake her head firmly, and clasped her palms tightly: "It's not about how long, It is forever. After that, I will convene the executive meeting to discuss legislation, and from then on, the gambling industry in the marginal provinces will be eliminated. No matter who, even me, as long as they open casinos and call gamblers to gamble, then I will also be sent Trial in court, jail. If my people continue to open casinos, then I will also be held accountable for mismanagement."

pedal——

As Ariel's voice fell, Fleisch and the soldiers behind him finally couldn't bear it anymore, and took a step towards Ariel!

At the same time as he stepped forward, Brad at the side finally couldn't bear it, and immediately pulled out the shield behind him and rushed to Ariel to block it!

Seeing this shield warrior as tall as a mountain, Fleisher finally stopped his pace of going forward.He clenched his fists tightly, as if he heard a very incredible topic, and also as if he saw a mentally retarded person who could be called a fool.

His gaze crossed Brad's waist, and continued to look at Ariel with firm eyes over there.A moment later, the leader of the Thunder Army sneered involuntarily——

"Heh...hehehehe...hehehahaha...My lord, please forgive me...please forgive me for being agitated. My brain is relatively stupid...From the beginning, my brother has always said that I only have With a passion, I may not have so many twists and turns, and many things are not very clear."

Ariel waved her hand to get Brad out of the way, so that she faced the rebel leader directly in front of her again.

"But... I am studying hard... I have met many nobles and lords. I know that I am not very knowledgeable, so before I formed the Thunder Army, I also worked hard to learn some knowledge from those dignitaries. So that my not very bright mind can know something."

He stretched out his finger, and nodded vigorously to his own forehead, and then continued to say in that sad and angry voice——

"So, can you explain to me a little bit? Why don't we do it with such an easy way to make money? Now there are so many rich people in the whole city! Those rich people still travel thousands of miles from many other places They came here just to be able to spend a lot of money, just to come to our Pelican City to enjoy the pleasure that can’t be enjoyed anywhere else!"

"In that case... why don't we make this money? It's so easy to earn. And... my lord earl, although I haven't known you for a long time, I know you more or less through the conversations of everyone in the city Some of the deeds. The foolish behavior of making money but not making money is not like what you did!"

Facing Fleisch's questioning, Ariel's face turns blue and turns pale.

The gambling industry was indeed started by her.

It can be said that when it was still in Pelican Town, Ariel's first pot of gold in the mermaid song was through the gambling industry.

For so many years, people in the entire Pelican City have almost tacitly agreed that Song of Mermaid can open a casino. Every time there is a large-scale event, Song of Mermaid will set up a plate and absorb many people's funds.

Since the casino is very famous, so this racing event and guild challenge can attract so many people, I am afraid that some people came to this city with the attitude of wanting to gamble a lot, right?

Even if Ariel doesn't want to admit it, but relying on the gambling industry is indeed supporting some people in this city.For example, the Thunder Army can act as thugs collecting bets during gambling. They are very suitable for this job and do it very well.

Under such circumstances, this woman who single-handedly turned the gambling industry into one of the business cards of Pelican City, now actually announced the cessation of the gambling industry during the biggest and most prosperous game in the entire city so far?No matter how you think about it, this is a stupid behavior.

and……

For Fleisch, whether Ariel has the right to say "stop" is really a big question mark.

"Fleisher, I know you may not understand. But the gambling industry has begun to show some disadvantages, and many people have begun to gamble regardless of the cost, which has led to..."

Ariel wanted to make her words as soft as possible, with a tone of discussion.But when Fleisch in front heard this sentence, he was taken aback for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Cream next to him.

During the Thunder Army's several times of collecting bets, there were indeed some members of Cream's security forces participating...or watching.So, of course the sheriff knew how he collected the wagers.But he didn't want to hide it from others.

At that moment, Fleisch gritted his teeth, turned around and said: "My lord is kind-hearted! I can't see other people suffering! But you didn't force them to gamble, nor did we tempt them to gamble! They are not firm in their will, I don't know the truth of small gambling, so I'm jealous of losing, and I put everything on the gambling table, can it be our fault too?"

Ariel frowned: "I don't blame you, of course, if you are worried about losing your job, don't worry, I can arrange for you..."

"It's not about work!"

Now, Fleisch finally walked in front of Ariel, raised his hands, and slapped the table heavily.

Brad on the side originally wanted to block it, but this time, after seeing that this person had no intention of attacking, he rolled his eyes and held back.

"Lord Earl, I respect you very much. Your ability to make money is beyond my life! And you are so beautiful and kind. To be honest, if you don't say a word about your longing after seeing you, that's me. You're deceiving yourself!"

Fleisch gritted his teeth and continued——

"Although I am not a member of Song of Mermaid, I still want to work hard to make this city better, and to make this city better, I must help Song of Mermaid earn more money! "

"Those people came to the end by themselves. Isn't this kind of unsteady person a waste? My lord, our struggle against the empire will be a very difficult war. For this war, we will definitely need a lot of people." money as a back-up!"

"Even if I am such an ignorant old man, I know that money is the most important thing in marching and fighting. And I am not afraid of your jokes. I really ran to your side because I really had no money and no supplies. Come and seek to join!"

"So, I know how important things like money are! As long as we have money, we can buy a lot of food and a lot of weapons! More people will join us!"

"We have money, weapons and food, so we can face the imperial army head-on! We won't be afraid of them!"

"For this goal, I really don't understand what's wrong with concentrating the wealth of those weak-willed people on our Mermaid Song?"

"Of course! You can't look down on those who are being pressed for debt by us. Okay! Then our methods can be more gentle in the future, but is it necessary to stop all the gambling industry? What about those rich people? If there is no gambling industry How can we reasonably and legally get them to hand over the money to us voluntarily? Is it reasonable to let them go without scooping up those fat sheep one by one, and provide them with such a wonderful game? Is it necessary?"

Ariel has a natural disadvantage on this topic, but now she is tired of hearing it, and said with a wave of her hand: "The gambling industry will make the city's law and order worse. Before, the plate was small and can be controlled, but in the future, the plate will become more and more serious." It's getting bigger and bigger, and it's getting harder and harder to deal with! To be on the safe side, I decided to cut off the gambling industry, this is my idea, no need to say any more!"

Facing Ariel's determination now, Fleisch's lips began to twitch, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled constantly.

His eyes widened, as if he was looking at the most inexplicable thing, which he couldn't understand, imagine, let alone support.

After staring for such a long time, the rebel leader finally exhaled slowly, stepped back a step, and said——

"Mr. Mayor, if the gambling industry cannot be carried on, I have a proposal that can quickly make up for the lack of funding we have lost due to the loss of the gambling industry."

The corners of Ariel's mouth twitched slightly, but she still calmed down, and said slowly, "What suggestion?"

Fleischer: "We should open up the market for Du Leng Jia. Recently, another batch of Du Leng Jia was intercepted at the border, which is of high quality. I don't know what those purchasers are thinking. A is shipped to the marginal province. If we can continue to sell this batch of Du Lengjia—”

"No, I won't do Du Lengjia's business."

Ariel responded decisively——
