On Monday, the conference hall of the main office of Laiyan City.

At this time, there are a lot of pot-bellied, well-dressed people gathered here, today is the time for political discussion, so some aristocrats and political minds will participate.

With the arrival of Lord Robert, the meeting officially began.

Apply for funds, report on work, repair city walls, etc.

This kind of meeting is held every week, so if there is no emergency, it is undoubtedly very boring.

Except for a few practical workers who are constantly reporting, most aristocrats and politicians have habitually turned on sleep mode.

At this time, Bevan stood up and accused the Home Affairs Office of being too slow and delayed in the construction of the wharf.

The director of the Department of Administrative Affairs tried to pull his fat body out of his chair, and then began to narrate various reasons in cadence, saying that there were too many unruly people, asking for an increase in demolition costs, ah, what urban construction hall did not cooperate, and there was no way to carry out the work. After a lot of nagging and chattering, there was a concluding remark, which was not the fault of the Office of State Affairs anyway.

The director of the Urban Construction Department, who was lying down with a gun, was not happy. He was just about to apply for funds to support his 13th lover. Who wanted to kill the goods halfway, so he got up and began to complain that the government office stuck the funds and did not release them in place. The facilities of the Urban Construction Department are so old that they are in urgent need of money to repair.

As a result, the two directors of the Department of Administrative Affairs and the Department of Urban Construction began to scold each other, escalating from the first war of words to personal attacks, and finally from a boot smashed by the Director of the Department of Urban Construction to martial arts.

The director of the Administrative Office was too fat to bend over to take off his shoes, so he smashed it with the water cup on the table. The water cup missed the target, but the tea inside affected many people. As a result, the fighting escalated again, from an one-on-one to a gang fight.

Those next to the aristocratic celebrities immediately happy, yo, there is a play to see ah. So immediately changed from sleep mode to booing mode.

For a moment, the conference hall was lively.

As for Bevan, who initially raised his opinion, he sat down with a livid face, this group of pigs.

The battle was finally stopped by count Robert, who put the two directors who sparked the incident on 50 boards each, and ordered them to carry out the construction of the wharf quickly.

The Chamber was back on track again and began to continue its proceedings.

As soon as the nobles watched the show, they turned on sleep mode again until the meeting was almost over.

Just when the nobles wiped their saliva, arranged their clothes, and waited for the meeting host to announce the end of the meeting, he got up and left.

The Earl of Austen, who sat on it today without saying a word, stood up with a sullen look on his face.

Hey, there's something else? The nobles sat down again, wondering. Although everyone disdains the pirate aristocrat of hillbilly, he is the deputy master after all, and his face is always in place.

Earl Austen's words were brief: "I hereby announce that the Austen family has relinquished ownership of the new wharf to the Robert family!"

With that, the Earl of Austen strode out of the office hall with a black face.

Yo, that's short! All the aristocrats are overjoyed. It seems that there is something good about uneducated pirates. At least he can't make up so many words.

Uh, wait, what did he just say. Relinquish the ownership of the new wharf?

Boom

When most people reacted, there was an uproar in the hall. Almost everyone dare not believe their ears, dock, what is that? That is the production line of gold coins. The Austen family went so far as to say that they gave up and gave up. They are not stupid even if they are uneducated.

To the Robert family.

Then someone remembered the second half of the words of the Earl of Austen, and all the nobles looked up together. There were four Earls on it, but now that count Austen is gone, there are only three left.

Count Robert, who was involved, looked calm and was picking up the teacup and sipping his tea slowly. Count Matthews' face was shocked at first, then slowly turned into inexplicable complexity. As for count Black, there was an undisguised look of anger on his face.

"the meeting is over!"

Knock, count Robert put the teacup on the table, got up and left calmly.

"Humph," said the Earl of Black with a cold hum and brushed his sleeves away.

"Oh, it's all over." Count Matthews sighed and walked out of the conference room.

The nobles looked at each other, and no one expected such shocking news at the end of the meeting.

Of course, not all aristocrats are like this. At least the heads of five families, including Bevan and Delk, are beaming.

"Lord Bevan is really helpless and admirable!" Said Viscount Delk.

Bevan shook his head and smiled and said, "Oh, it's all the result of everyone's concerted efforts. Bevan just came up with some ideas."

"Lord Bevan, you are too modest."

"just."

Bevan arched his hand and said, "ladies and gentlemen." Well, the Blake family hasn't been conquered yet, and when it's all done, it's not too late to praise Bevan. "

"if Lord Bevan is in charge, why don't the Blake family be captured?"

", that makes sense! Lord Bevan, tell me, what should we do? "

"it's very simple!" Bevan clenched his fist and stretched out, "just attack!"

"assault?"

Bevan nodded. "Yes, there is something strange about the use of soldiers." When we are weak, we can come up with some strange tricks that can lead to unexpected results, but it is inevitable that we are too risky. Now that we are strong, we naturally have to attack and crush and not give our opponents a chance to catch their breath! "

"not bad!"

"that's exactly how it should be!"

"so when do we attack?"

"the Blake family is now on guard, so the sooner the better, well, tonight!" Bei cultural fist for the palm of the fierce cut, said decisively.

"good!"

The plan had been decided, and success was just around the corner, and the five viscount patriarchs dared not delay, so they all hurried back to prepare.

Then Gray entered the conference room. "Master Bevan, the Earl of Austen has gone." Do you think we are. "

", let's go, it's not good to keep people waiting for a long time." Bevan rubbed his hands. "this is not the demeanor of a winner."

.

More than ten miles to the east of Dongcheng District, this is a hunting park for aristocratic recreation.

The carriage marked with the golden lion's head drove all the way out of the city conference hall and came here.

Bevan saw the Earl of Austen with a crossbow on the south side of the hunting ground.

"count Austen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!" Bevan bowed and saluted.

Count Austen handed the crossbow to the housekeeper next to him and looked at Bevan. "I can't believe that I, the Austen family, came across the sea and fell into your hands when I came to this southern town."

"Earl of Austen, in fact."

"needless to say, winners and losers! Give it to me! "

Bevan shook his head and winked back

Gray took a step forward and bowed down and handed the three-page ledger to the Earl of Austen.

After receiving the three pages, the Earl of Austen frowned and whispered angrily, "what do you mean?"

Bevan blinked inexplicably and asked in surprise, "what do you mean?"

The Earl of Austen's eyes twinkled viciously: "you still pretend for me!" I have a ledger, you give me three pages? Is it possible that you, the Robert family, still want my family's old dock? "

"A ledger?" Bevan and Gray looked at each other, surprised and lost their voice.

"well, the more you pretend to be, the more you look like it. So, you're not going to pay it back? "

"the method of fighting anger and heart?" Bevan opened his mouth and looked blankly at the angry Earl of Austen.

"good! good! Ha ha! " The Earl of Austen laughed angrily. "good for you, play this game with me. Well, then break the net!"

Bevan managed to recover from the shock and hurriedly said, "count Austen, there is a misunderstanding." We asked the thief to steal the account book, and the thief gave only three pages. "

"who believes it?"

.

After a quarrel, the Earl of Austen left angrily with two pages of paper.

"according to these two sketches, search the whole city!" With a sullen face, Austen handed two pieces of paper in his hand to the housekeeper.

Although it is a little blurry, from these two portraits, we can vaguely see that it is the face of Dawn and Jack, especially Dawn's hooked nose.

"your excellency, do you believe what they say?" The housekeeper took the paper and asked.

"believe it, my ass!" The Earl of Austen gritted his teeth. "give me another assassination mission to the Thieves' Union. Ten thousand gold coins, and I'll buy Bevan's life!"
