The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Xia Zuoyi was wearing coarse linen clothes, and her exposed face, neck, and hands were all painted black...

He also wore a small hat with a hole on his head. He looked handsome and was dressed like an ordinary civilian.

And Taylor, who was sitting next to Xia Zuoyi, had a beard glued on his chin, making him look like a small businessman from out of town.

A little savvy, but poor.

Walker was wearing a slightly worn-looking armor and a helmet, half of his face was covered with a black cloth to cover it when he entered the tavern.

At this time, because of drinking, the black cloth fell on the neck.

——The handsome face combined with the shabby dress on the body, really has the feeling of a leisurely knight.

The tavern clerk served them three large mugs of rye.

The dark brown wine has a beautiful color under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, and there is a little white foam floating on the top, which is gradually spreading out, which is a bit attractive.

Adhering to the behavior in line with human design, Xia Zuoyi curiously took a sip from the wine glass...then smacked her lips and put it down.

Not bad.

The reason why they entered the tavern in disguise was because the soldiers sent by Bana to investigate in the city had recently investigated another piece of news before arriving at Quncesi.

——The soldier saw someone pull a cart of things covered in black cloth directly from the village, and then secretly sent it into the back of the tavern.

The inquisitors disguised as soldiers did not dare to get too close.

After observing a few times, he found that occasionally a few suspiciously dressed people came in and out of the back of the tavern...

Immediately afterwards, when they left again, this group of people took away a lot of round wooden barrels used to hold the wine.

——The soldier didn't know what was in the barrel.

But he thought it could never be wine.

Because he had deliberately found an opportunity to get close to the temptation—it seemed that he accidentally bumped into the bullock cart that these people were pulling the round barrel.

What he smelled in his nose was not the aroma of wine, but a slightly pungent smell.

However, before the soldier disguised as an ordinary civilian got up, he was dragged by the arm and thrown aside.

These people are not rude.

Moreover, their faces were ferocious, half of their faces wrapped in scarves couldn't hide their slightly ruthless eyes.

The soldier even had sharp eyes to see something hidden by their clothes during their movements—it seemed to be a knife handle...

This group of people with machetes?

They are not nobles or knights, but they are even less like ordinary civilians and slaves.

robber? !

——These two words suddenly flashed in the soldier's mind.

He is the deputy company commander who is with Captain Banna, and he is no longer a recruit.

In the past few years, he followed the head of the regiment one after another to wipe out bandits and bandits in other places.

What's more, the knights of their army are often stationed in the port, and even the robbers who appeared on the Volley River to rob merchant ships must be wiped out...

I have dealt with some vicious robbers not a hundred times, but I can count them.

——When soldiers and bandits meet, maybe any sensitive nerve will be provoked.

Fortunately, this soldier was very successful in his disguise everywhere, he did a little low-down decisively, apologized and begged for forgiveness with a humble expression.

But this group of people was concerned about their status, and it was not good to cause trouble in the city and attract attention, so they just had a fit and kicked people a few times before leaving.

Afterwards, the soldier reported the situation to Commander Banner.

After that, Xia Zuoyi happened to arrive.

…………

Such news needs to be further confirmed. First of all, it is necessary to find out what is being pulled behind the tavern.

Xia Zuoyi guessed—there must be a mine vein behind the village where the poor people were imprisoned.

The mayor of Quincy West not only dug the mountains and mined mineral veins privately without telling him, but he was also very likely to cooperate with the robbers and cooperate with him to plan a scene of looting in the city.

In this way, the robbers plundered the property of the people in the city.

The mayor, Vernon, took advantage of the situation to take away these people who had become helpless because of the persecution, and then imprisoned them in the village, forcing them to mine mines day and night.

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help feeling angry.

He ordered someone to investigate the news about the mayor, Vernon.

——Vernon was originally a small nobleman with the title of Viscount and no territory. After passing the official examination, he was gradually promoted to the position of mayor.

Coincidentally, the official exam that the mayor Vernon took was the same as the current mayor of Fort Comoi, Wiener.

People are not enough to swallow elephants.

Quincy West is relatively far away from Wissas, and it is also a border area, a remote place that is not easily subject to jurisdiction.

However, the power of the administrative center often falls short.

This makes it easy for the leaders or institutions of border cities to easily make their own claims and be unrestrained when they encounter some things.

This is also the reason why Xia Zuoyi sent cavalry troops to station in the border area.

However, due to the Black Death epidemic, all aspects of the territory were affected.

After that, he followed the second prince Nitaya to the Yami country not long after.

——Accepting a small country as a gift, Xia Zuoyi must bring a certain amount of manpower and cavalry troops to the country of Yami, which is protection and deterrence.

Although the trip to Yami country went very smoothly, it should not be taken lightly.

Xia Zuoyi took away the two commander-in-chief knights, and the garrison in the territory will be slightly mobilized, especially pay attention to the defense and checkpoint garrison of Parshan and Wissus.

In this way, there will inevitably be some negligence in other places.

The garrison transfer after the Black Death epidemic was not resumed in time.

And taking advantage of this gap, Vernon found an opportunity to cause trouble.

The gang of robbers came from an unknown source and cooperated with Vernon, so they didn't know where they were hiding.

——Although I was caught with a little tail that day, I was met by Bana's deputy company commander outside the tavern, but I didn't follow up, so I lost track again...

After that, although the group of suspected robbers did not come again.

But people dressed as businessmen began to enter the tavern again, and took away a cart full of round wooden barrels...

The group of merchants went west of the border—leaving Quincy West, and going further west was a road leading to the San Airo Empire.

This is also the second way to travel on land besides the waterway from the Abdin River to the San Airo Empire.

It's just that generally speaking, it's closer to the empire by water.

Bana had an intuition that it was impossible for people outside the territory of Designia to take away the batch of round wooden barrels, so he sent someone to follow them secretly.

I don't know what's going on right now.

Neither the robber nor Vernon can be spared.

In order to avoid alarming others, Xia Zuoyi

Several ambushes were arranged.

But the most important premise is to rescue the people who were imprisoned and forced to work in the village first.

What is the relationship between the owner of this tavern and Mayor Vernon?

Why are things mined in the village transported to this place?

Under the dim light of the tavern, Xia Zuoyi couldn't help squinting her eyes.

He remembered the description of the deputy company commander after he touched the porcelain robber.

——The barrel seems to be filled with liquid, but it is definitely not wine, because it smells pungent...

This smell wafted out faintly.

Even though all the barrels were covered with heavy dust cloths at the time, they could still be smelled.

Xia Zuoyi had some guesses about the mine veins excavated behind the village—the action plan needs to be more careful, at least...

**

The smell of liquor floating in the tavern was very strong, and as the sky gradually darkened, the number of people gradually increased.

The surroundings began to be lively.

Xia Zuoyi took a sip of the rye wine and stopped touching it.

Valck drank the entire glass in a few sips.

Then, as if he was in high spirits, he took an empty wine glass and went to the bar counter - besides the waiter, a beautiful woman came out now.

Xia Zuoyi watched Valker sit directly in front of the stage, and began to have a "happy conversation" with him...

Not long after waiting, the woman covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly at Valk, and then touched Valk's crotch without hesitation under Xia Zuoyi's staring gaze...

Almost half of the men in the tavern saw it, and cast envious or jealous eyes after Walker turned and walked back.

"It's really lucky, it's another little boy who Variana has taken a fancy to... Tsk, knight."

"After the death of her husband, Varianna is afraid that no one will be able to comfort her at night. How many men have she been looking for..."

"There, the loneliness is unbearable haha."

"How many men do you think she can accept to play with, or I will try it too?"

Obscenities began to flood the entire tavern, and Xia Zuoyi frowned when she heard it.

And the woman, after Walker left, flirted with other men again, boldly and openly.

After Walker came back with a full wine glass, Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but glance down curiously...

The originally calm knight leader immediately used the edge of the table to cover his ears, his ears were reddened under his hair, and he whispered in embarrassment, "Cough... I can't touch it like this..."

Taylor: "Good concentration."

Although my lord has been serious in the past few years, his methods have not retreated.

Xia Zuoyi blinked and motioned for the knight commander to sit down and report the news of the investigation.

Valk revealed in words that after escorting a small caravan, he had no more commissions to do. He wondered if there were any missions to accept the services of hired knights.

Generally, hedge knights will come to the tavern to find some tasks and commissions.

So Walker's words are not abrupt.

The beautiful and charming woman was coaxed happily, and said bluntly that if he stayed in Quincy West for a few days, he would definitely meet the caravan coming here.

At that time, there will naturally be task entrustments.

Xia Zuoyi's eyes darkened when she heard this.

It seems that the mayor of Vernon not only colluded with the bandits, but also wanted to sell the minerals dug behind the village to other countries.

Now... It's hard to say that the news has spread.

San Aero Empire...

From this point of view, they must act as soon as possible.

Three days later, Taylor, who was dressed as a businessman, and Xia Zuoyi, a commoner, were successfully sold by Walker.

They were taken to the village with other kidnapped slaves, civilians or merchants, and their hands were shackled at the wrists and feet.
