"What!? Let Sima run away?"
"There are so many of you and you still can't catch a noble lady?"
After receiving the news from the guards, Liz was so angry that she stamped her feet. The young lady scolded a group of guards until they were bloody.
The guards were also feeling miserable. Firstly, because of Isima's physical fitness, she was no ordinary noble lady. Secondly, because...
"Miss, Xima seems to have an accomplice to help her. She has prepared escape tools for her. We were in a hurry... and couldn't catch up."
"Huh, accomplice?"
Liz glanced at the other nobles at the banquet. No one dared to look at the angry earl's daughter.
"Tell Robert to send someone to seal off the Sima family's mansion for me! I think she escaped, but can she also escape the family? Stupid!"
"Yes, Miss." After the guards agreed in unison, they hurriedly followed the instructions.
But Liz stopped them again.
"By the way, where is my father?"
"Lord Earl Thistle... we don't know. Maybe he is worried about the safety of the eldest lady. He doesn't know that the eldest lady has come back safely. Are he still looking for her?" the guard replied uncertainly.
"Okay, let's go." Liz waved her hand.
Although she felt a little strange, because with her father's intelligence ability, it shouldn't have been so long without news of her return, but Liz didn't think much about it.
There was another thing she needed to do now.
Liz took out a sheepskin scroll representing the contract. As soon as she mentioned this, the eldest lady became angry again, and her chest kept rising and falling.
While the guards were chasing Sima, Liz asked Vivian carefully about the banquet.
To be precise, it was a trick used by the little girl to be deceived.
Through Vivian's retelling, Liz roughly restored the whole incident, which made her a little relieved, because at least Sima's deception was quite careful, and it was not difficult to see that it had been planned for a long time, and Wei It is reasonable for Wei An to fall into the trap.
If Sima just used that trick to deceive a fool and deceived Vivian, then Liz would be really angry to death.
This feeling is quite similar to that of an old mother taking care of her children. As a junior high school student, you can get zero marks on high-level math questions in college, but you can't give me a low score on math questions in elementary school.
Unknowingly, Liz already regarded Vivian as a very important person, and her identity switched between a good sister and an old mother.
Therefore, Liz would never accept this extremely unfair gambling contract that Vivian signed with the nobles under Sima's inducement.
bump!
Liz walked onto the stage and slammed the table.
The eldest lady looked around coldly, and all the nobles in the room were startled by her and gathered their attention.
Two simple words came out of Liz's mouth.
"Re-sign."
As soon as these words came out, the nobles in the audience were expected. After all, the earl's daughter had a reputation for being very proud and arrogant.
It can be seen that she and Vivian have a very good relationship, and it is reasonable to stand up for each other at this moment.
The several old guys headed by the nobles exchanged glances with each other.
Then one of them, who can be considered to have the same status, there are three earls in Huodian City. In addition to the Sisier family, the earl of the Dulin family spoke:
"I don't know, what Miss Liz means by "re-signing" is..."
"It means that this contract...is void."
Even if the other party is a count like her father, Lisa will show no mercy.
It's like a domineering CEO in the board of directors seeking justice for his little wife...what a mess.
Vivian was about to say something, but she received a sharp look from Liz, and she shut her mouth obediently, shrunk her neck, and did it obediently from behind.
Liz flipped the table over.
There's no talking about it now.
The nobles managed to deceive the little girl into signing a gambling contract in order to restrain Vivian, a rookie in Fire Code City, in the future, so as to maintain their status. They are not willing to let go of the fat on their lips. .
Yes, from the perspective of these nobles, the only place in their world that is as big as Huodian City is, so they think the same is true for Vivian.
Little did they know, under the grand plan of a certain little wolf cub, the little girl would bring disaster to the entire continent sooner or later. How could the legendary witch lady who traveled around the nine countries look at Huodian City?
Therefore, the current group of nobles cannot be said to be unfounded worries, but can only be said to be frogs in the well.
The banquet hall suddenly fell into silence. Since the nobles couldn't hit or scold the earl's daughter who was like a tigress, they simply didn't speak and just wasted their time.
Although the eldest lady was very aggressive, they really didn't believe what Liz could do to them.
We are about to reach a deadlock.
scare!
Baron Teddy was about to get up according to the script when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder from behind and was startled.
When Teddy looked back, he showed a look of resentment.
"Brother, can you make some noise when you walk next time? Say hello. Don't act like a ghost and scare me to death."
"Huh? Shouldn't you be surprised by why I appear here?"
After Liao Zixuan finished speaking, Teddy answered silently with a look that said, "Don't compare him to other cliché characters."
Fine.
It’s true, I’ll let you play to understand.
Liao Zixuan stopped teasing and asked in a low voice:
"You still remember everything I told you."
"Of course! How dare I neglect what you told me, brother? I did a data analysis overnight. I made statistics on all the taxes paid by the nobles to rural villages and towns in the past ten years, and then deduced the budgets of villages and towns at all levels. development, we have calculated the optimal policy terms.”
Teddy had a proud look on his face. These things may not sound difficult, but in reality, their complexity and workload cannot be accomplished by just anyone.
Only a genius like him, who has been in business since childhood, has an entire commercial street as an asset at a young age, and single-handedly established one of the top chambers of commerce in Huodian City, can do this.
Oops, no, don’t mention the commercial street. Teddy gets angry whenever he mentions the commercial street!
I don’t know what kind of heartless bastard he is, he stays up late at night and fights in the inner city. If you say you want to fight, just fight, but he chooses to fight in the commercial street, the same street where his Teddy property is owned!
When Teddy thought that the whole street was almost destroyed, Teddy's heart ached. He was so furious that he issued a wanted order all night long, and he must catch the murderer!
I just don’t know if the foreigner who took his wanted order and claimed to be nicknamed "Rongrong" is reliable or if he has made any progress. I will have to find out more about it later.
Liao Zixuan didn't know what Teddy was thinking through gritted teeth. He just nodded with satisfaction after the other party's report. It seemed that this guy was pretty reliable.
"Okay, then I'll leave this place to you." After saying this, Liao Zixuan was about to get out of the way.
Teddy asked hurriedly when he saw this.
"Brother, where are you going? Why don't you come and see my heroic appearance?"
"Me? It's boring for me. I'll help you find a few heavyweights to support you."
Heavy, heavyweight?
Teddy's eyelids jumped after hearing this.
But according to Teddy's Law, at this time, I must not show shock, but...
"Okay, brother, just do whatever you want, and find Harvey, the supreme commander of the Knights, and the newly promoted archbishop of the Vulcan Cult, who seems to be named Damir, right? Just the two of them, don't call them too much. As much as you want, that’s enough.”
The total forces in Huodian City are composed of four parts, the Knights, the Vulcan Cult, the nobles, and the underground treasure stealing group.
Don't call too much just yet. There won't be anyone else who wants to call you.
After Liao Zixuan rolled his eyes at Teddy, Teddy felt his eyes blur, and then the other person's figure disappeared.
"Sooner or later I have to let my eldest brother teach me this skill..."
"It will definitely be useful for escaping!"
That’s the ambition.
Finished muttering quietly.
Originally, Teddy might have been a little uneasy. After all, he would have to show off his skills in front of so many nobles with much higher status than him, but Liao Zixuan happened to appear. Although he didn't say a few words, for some reason, It was like giving Teddy a reassurance, making him more confident and no longer nervous.
Anyway, he has a big boss backing him up, so what does he have to be afraid of?
Show, that's it!
The thought of this.
Teddy immediately jumped at the crime.
And the target object.
That was directed at the earl's daughter who was in a deadlock with the nobles.
"With all due respect, Miss Liz, are you a bit... bullying others too much?"
As soon as Teddy said this, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet.
Now, when everyone is pretending to be mute and no one dares to touch Miss Liz's troubles, someone actually dares to stand up and speak out for the nobles?
Earl Dulin cast an inquiring look at the noble nobles in the group, as if asking whose family hired him.
But none of the nobles recognized Teddy. They would not remember a mere baron like him.
But it's different now.
Wild tho? The young man has a future and can be trained!
At this moment, a group of nobles led by Count Dulin did not realize the seriousness of the problem and thought Teddy was their teammate.
On the other side, Liz also thought so and regarded Teddy as a shield for the other party.
Faced with the "you have no business to speak here" look from the earl's daughter, Teddy faced the difficulty without flinching.
"As we all know, once the contract is signed by both parties and sworn by the God of Fire, it will be protected and supervised by the God of Fire. It cannot be invalidated just because it is invalidated!"
"No matter how noble Miss Liz is, she wouldn't dare to openly provoke Lord Vulcan, right?"
"Hmph, don't distort the concept. I just want to invalidate this unfair contract. It has nothing to do with provoking Lord Vulcan. All that is needed for such a trivial matter is that both parties to the contract agree."
After Liz's cold reply ended, Teddy still shook his head.
Withstanding the pressure of the strong aura of the eldest lady opposite.
Teddy's next words stunned both Count Dulin and Liz.
"How about this, Miss Liz, the reason why you want to abrogate the contract is that you think it is unfair. Then let's each take a step back and re-modify the contents of the contract to make the gambling terms truly fair. Do you think so? How about the next one?"
What the hell?
Count Dulin frowned immediately.
He was indeed happy to see a wild agent confronting Liz on their behalf, but if this agent started talking nonsense on their behalf, the nature would be different.
Earl Dulin saw something was wrong and was about to speak, but Liz was one step ahead of him.
"Oh? Tell me, what's the fair law?"
As if she was keenly aware of something, the eldest lady's tone was obviously much gentler to Teddy than at first.
Of course, the most important thing is that Liz's quick opening is equivalent to stealing Count Dulin's opportunity to speak.
Seeing the situation clearly, the smile on Teddy's face became wider.
Look, what does a good teammate mean? It is so comfortable to have a smart young lady like Liz as a teammate.
He coughed and cleared his throat.
Teddy entrusted Liao Zixuan to him and started to slowly tell Liz a plan that he had already planned.
The general content is that the noble side is not limited to money, but also provides more invisible and invisible clauses that can actually play a huge role.
It's like the discounts and benefits in purchasing transactions between the two parties.
There are many excellent craftsmen and related professionals in Huodian City. However, if you want to produce finished products, it is not enough to have manufacturers, you must also have raw materials.
As for the source of raw materials, most of them have to rely on the many lower-level towns in Huodian City, those large and small villages that are located on the edge but close to the wild and rich in natural resources.
But why, take the example of Vivian from before. The little girl lived such a difficult life. This is just a microcosm. Most villages are extremely poor.
A large part of the reason is that the nobles, who are the buyers, keep the prices too low, sometimes even less than the cost price.
After all, in the eyes of the nobles, the role of the country people was to work for them and collect supplies. Of course, they could be exploited in any way they could.
As for life? Are you kidding me? A bunch of workers want to improve their quality of life? Improving it for you is equivalent to lowering their quality of life!
Even though the quality of life of the nobles is as long as sleeping until they wake up naturally every day, having a meal of fish and meat, fine wine and beautiful women.
So, Teddy now...
No, it should be said that Liao Zixuan wants to use Teddy's words to help Vivian, who has no education and only knows how to act stupidly, and Liz, who is smart, but after all, she is a member of the aristocracy, and it is naturally difficult to find the key to the problem. , pointing out a possible path for future reform.
Of course, the issue about “purchasing” just mentioned above is just one of them.
There are also various tax exemptions for future rural towns, such as not overly interfering in the internal affairs of towns, such as allowing villages to form civil guards, and a series of other...
By the way, Liao Zixuan is not omnipotent. He can only provide a general direction of thinking. This is why he leaves this matter to Teddy, a great business genius.
Let professional people do professional things.
This has always been Liao Zixuan's purpose.
I saw that under the terms of Teddy's new gambling contract, the nobles on Earl Dulin's side were sweating more and more, while on the other hand, Liz and the little girl's eyes were getting brighter and brighter. It felt like it was so good that they hadn't thought of it before.
no!
You absolutely cannot change it like this!
Earl Dulin calculated in his mind that if the young baron who popped up from nowhere was true, their annual income would have to drop by at least 30%.
And the most critical thing is that it will weaken their control over lower-level towns.
This doesn't work!
This time it was Count Dulin's turn to slam the table.
but...
As Liao Zixuan said, professional people do professional things.
He arranged Liz's rescue confrontation and Teddy's plan to formulate terms.
As for myself, a conscientious old father-type boyfriend who worries about his little girl, what Liao Zixuan is best at doing is naturally...
Push back everyone who wants to flip the table.
Count Dulin was about to stand up in anger, but he slapped the case to stop.
Tap tap tap...
Countless uniform footsteps of city guards sounded in vain from outside the banquet.
