Chapter 3598: Finding the Holy Capital (4)

"What is your Majesty's attitude towards Harvey Plateau?"
　　 Socutus Delan gently turned the handle of the cyan teacup with her fingers, staring at the sparkling waterway at the three forks in the distance and asked,
Putamia smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth. "The turmoil of the war on the Uighur Plateau is truly spreading at this moment. The blood of the Harvey and the Ikal is flowing into a river, the heads are beaten into pigs, and the Harvey barely It was a tragic victory that saved the capital, but the entire Harvey capital area was turned into mud by a ground dragon, with population loss, material loss, and town destruction. There is no more than 20 years before the Ikal people will be relieved. The power of the whole country is the only way to suppress the Harvey. The king's capital was reversed in a battle, and the loss of both sides is what the empire wants to see most. To be honest, if it weren't for me, I was in the king's capital of Eero and killed me. I don’t believe that this battle of Harvey Plateau that almost wiped out the two kingdoms was actually the result of manipulation.

"I heard that the first thing that King Ikar and King Harvey returned to the country was to immediately order the army to stop the offensive." Putamia tilted her head to look at the leisurely face of Socutus Delan. Under the bright sun, blue sky, white clouds, and water birds on the mast, the quietly flowing river will eventually flow into the Santo Marsh. Such a beautiful and peaceful place is regarded as the most dangerous area in the eyes of the wolf-like imperial merchants. , It is because Socutus Delan, known as the queen of commerce, is here. The behemoth of the Imperial Bank is centered on this place, and it seems to have the meaning of covering the entire northern part of the sect of power. This is why the major chambers of commerce are in the mission. You fight for me in the southern part of the country, but in the northern part of the ecclesiastical country, it’s a calm cause.
　　In front of the business queen Socutus Delan, no imperial businessman dared to straighten up. Even the imperial business alliance did not dare to have too much resistance in the face of the former thirteenth deacon.
Regarding who has the most power in the region of the ecclesiastical state, it is naturally the Imperial Bank, who has invested the most, and has obtained the most benefits. If Pope Putamia wants to clean up the merchants in the Shengdu area, she does not have Socutu. Stella’s acquiescence is absolutely impossible. Don’t look at the three thousand imperial guards assigned by the emperor to Putamia, but these are not ordinary mercenaries, but real imperial professional soldiers, because they are real professions. Military personnel, any major military operations are strictly restricted. The empire has strict management of the military. The transfer of more than one hundred personnel requires the signature of the regional governor. The transfer of more than three hundred personnel even requires documents from the Ministry of Military Affairs. Thousands of imperial guards want to mobilize, without the emperor’s order is treason
　　Pudamia naturally comes with an emperor’s warrant, but once it is used, it will take a long time for the military to identify the authenticity of the warrant.
Socutus Delan raised her head and glanced at Putamia before saying, "The imperial influence that your Majesty has been planning to infiltrate the South Oubaro incident. At this moment, these merchants will never be allowed to cause damage for personal gain. , You must know that both the Harvey and the Ikar will not stop the entry of the imperial merchants at this moment, but are vigorously attracting these imperial chambers of commerce to recover as soon as possible, but the best interest of the merchants to expel is by nature. As far as I know, Now that the two countries are weak, there are as many as eight imperial chambers of commerce that are crushed to death.
"His Royal Highness just let it go. Although the Imperial Bank is nothing, there are at least 40,000 private soldiers available. If you really don't believe those guys, you dare to shake the sky." Socutus Delan smiled slightly, and pressed her finger lightly. On the teacup, she knew the emperor’s methods better than anyone else. Once the merchants loosened their control, their predatory nature was amazing. The cult country was ravaged by the Martin Liga, and half of the country was turned into ruins. Because of the sufficient benefits of these merchants, whoever is willing to spend the huge sums of money to rebuild these areas will get enough benefits. Now it is time to regulate, because the sect nation can already be regarded as officially included in the imperial area, and the emperor is impossible. Allow merchants to act arbitrarily in the Empire area
How did the sanctuary degenerate? After Putamia left Moser, the smile on the corner of Socutus Delan’s mouth kept circling in his mind. At five o’clock in the afternoon, when the cooking smoke outside the Holy City outside the city In the drizzle, like a thick fog, hovering over the broad-leaved forest, Putamia once again saw the holy city. Under the guard of the 3,000-meter imperial cavalry, Pope Putamia's high-profile return shocked the whole Holy capital, Putamia who returned to the Holy Capital did nothing, but just ordered the four gates of the Holy Capital to be closed
　　 "Why is this woman back?"
"What are you afraid of, don't forget, who is in charge of the Holy Capital now, and tomorrow will continue to open the city gates as usual, and there are still a few shipments to leave. If something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility?" After receiving the order of Pope Putamia, the gate officials mostly just throw them on the ground at will. Not only did the gates not close, they opened earlier than the prescribed time.
　　 "I hope that His Highness the Pope can see the situation clearly and stop messing around!"
　　 "The Holy Capital is no longer what it used to be. Offending those imperial chambers of commerce will not have good results."
In the past few months when Putamia was absent, the original management system of the sacred capital was disintegrated. In front of the shining gold of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, for officials of all sizes who had long lost their faith in the religious regiment, they only needed The power of the imperial power can be replaced by the imperial gold. Now who is talking about loyalty, the Pope is missing. The imperial chamber of commerce is involved in the gust of wind, and in front of these beast-like chambers of commerce, Shunchang rebels. Smuggling has arisen in the sanctuary. This city that was once regarded as a sanctuary is now called a dark city. Smuggling, armed fighting, and slave trading are all fair and honest things. Most people who can organize smuggling The Great Chamber of Commerce is inextricably linked, and the entire city is like a huge colosseum mixed with various forces.
In this case, the non-smuggling group is like a huge dark kingdom entrenched here. Although it has not yet reached the point of blatantly claiming to be a manager, it is already normal for each block to collect protection fees, in order to commercial interests and cause deaths. It’s commonplace. The local people in the Shengdu often end up either being smashed at home, or turning into a scarred corpse lying in the sewage ditch the next day. The city guard of Shengdu itself has long been controlled by the Chamber of Commerce. Things are almost completely ignored. In the holy capital, the chambers of commerce are like the monarchs of the underground kingdom
"The east gate belongs to the Sixiu Chamber of Commerce. Behind the south gate is the Kalaya Chamber of Commerce. The guard at the north gate received a full five thousand Imperial Gold from the Habydia Chamber of Commerce. The Sri Lanka Chamber of Commerce was killed. As for Simon, the guard died unexpectedly last month. There has been no one. In fact, it is the back door for several other large smuggling organizations." In the hands of a serious middle-aged woman in palace costume The document was placed in front of Putamia, telling Putamia about the current situation in the Sanctuary. This is a person sent by Socutus Delan, whose name is Xin'eruo, who is regarded as a middle-level member of the Imperial Bank. , Is also the person in charge of the Imperial Bank’s main business in the Holy Capital. Putamia’s proposal to order the four doors to close as soon as he returned to the Holy Capital came from her.
"From the response to your order, they don’t value the return of His Royal Highness very much. They just held a meeting. At the meeting, most chambers of commerce believed that even if His Royal Highness returns, they are currently unable to control the Holy City. That’s okay," Xin Oluo said
　　 "So, no one proposes to kill me?" Putamia snorted
　　 "Your Majesty’s guards who came back from the guardian are not blind."
Xin Eluo shrugged, turned around and looked at the undulating mountains to the east, and said in a deep voice, "Master Dailan specially confessed that the matter of the Holy Capital is best to cut the mess with a sharp knife. The major chambers of commerce have not yet felt the crisis. At that time, control the Holy Capital in one fell swoop, otherwise once the major chambers of commerce react, even if they dare not use force against the Holy Capital, it is still possible to block the Holy Capital."
　　 "So you won't do it in the Holy Capital at all!" Putamia's pretty face is cold
"Ms. Dailan thinks that as long as the effect of unification can be achieved, why should your Highness personally initiate it?" Xin'eruo calmly took out a report from the table and opened the list in front of Putamia. Said, "His Royal Highness only needs to show that everything is calm, such as this list, Your Highness can take a look."
　　 "This is a list of slave trade"
Putamia's eyes were stunned. Putami is no stranger to the slave trade, because the sect country was a big country in the slave trade before, and the identity on this list made Pudamia hesitate. They are all Harvey women, women of the noble and wealthy who were affected by the war some time ago, and there are even a few women with extraordinary surnames. These noble and famous ladies in the past were smuggled in the chaos of the Harvey Plateau. The group secretly kidnapped and auctioned as private goods in the underground market. Slaves are prohibited in the empire, but they can be bought and sold in the Holy Capital. Such young women with both looks and status should be expensive in the underground market. According to differences in appearance and status, the price above is between 5,000 and 10,000. In order to prevent these women from resisting, the smugglers only give a small amount of food and water every day. For most buyers who participate in the underground market , Beautiful ladies with a pale and weak face are far more flavorful than stubborn and rebellious savage women. So this kind of convention has been formed. Smugglers use hunger to defeat the will and resistance of these ladies and let them learn Obey, and it can also ensure that these women don’t have too many scars.
　　"Yes, just tonight, Your Highness
　　 "Tonight, do you have action?"
　　Pudamia paused for a moment, his eyes widened, and he suppressed a certain guess in his heart.
The return of the pope of the sect, and the order to close the four doors are actually deliberately released smoke. Socutus Delan, the business queen, is afraid that everything has been arranged long ago. The reason why he did not send it out is actually I’m just waiting for myself. The more important things are, the more people who need to carry the scapegoat. This is the sacred capital of the sect country. Socutus Delan wants to do it here. This scapegoat is like being sent up naturally. It’s such a high-profile killer, the best candidate for a scapegoat.
Outside the holy capital city, the rain washed the woods brightly. The sharp lancet tip reflected a terrifying light in the rain. The cold faces of the soldiers revealed a gloomy murderous look. A group of cavalry passed by, just listening. There was a puff of low horseshoes and the sharp clanging sound of armor, and there was a rapid sound of horseshoes in front, "Report your lord, the whole army is ready"
The general led the team and lifted the helmet mask, revealing a well-defined face with Chinese characters, his thin lips pressed tightly, and his eyes slightly narrowed. Putamia has entered the holy capital, so no matter if this order is Putamia or not Yes, in the eyes of others, it is under Putamia,
　　In front of the general's eyes, there is a low-lying wilderness. A large blue-roofed villa stands there. The guardrail is in the wrong position. You can see the guard standing in front of the guardrail.
The Roham’s villa is also the headquarters of the largest smuggling organization in the Holy Capital. The exterior wall of the low manor house is suddenly brightly lit. Numerous large lanterns are just as punctual as the dating couple, and they are lit up in exactly the same rhythm. , Arrogant and domineering to the extreme,
　　If you want to do it, naturally you must do the biggest
　　 Five thousand private armies of the Imperial Bank lurked here, following an order,
　　 "Do it!" The commander who had been fighting for a long time had a grim expression. A group of heavy infantry, who were tall and strong, wielded heavy hammers, and directly broke the outer door of the villa in the continuous sound of "clicks and stabs".
"Who are you, this is the property of the Roham Chamber of Commerce?" A brutal-looking man stood and roared under the night breeze. UU read www.uukanshu.com and the voice shook the whole country. The answer to him was bow. The sound of the lifting of the crossbow,
　　 The brawny man was swinging his whole body, and countless arrows shot into his body, feeling like a dead leaf that would wither in the autumn wind at any time
　　 "Go ahead, don't take prisoners!" The officer leading the team pulled out the command sword in a low and hoarse voice, and the arrow rain was like a black waterfall falling from the sky, flooding this poor manor.
The entire manor’s resistance lasted only an hour. After the last person was shot into a sieve, empty carriages slowly drove into the bleeding manor on the ground, empty carts entered, and then shipped out full of unknown goods. The things being transported were the belongings of the smuggling group, and then, for example, gold and jewellery. The wealth gathered was amazing. Although there was no time to count them in detail, the list in front of them made the leader take a deep breath.
Folding the list in his hand into his pocket, his eyes were full of shock that could not be concealed. It was really amazing. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have killed him and would not believe that just by smuggling, this entrenched only four outside the holy capital. The Roham Chamber of Commerce in the month can accumulate such wealth
　　 It’s no wonder that it was the first target
　　 The pigs are fattened, and naturally they have to be slaughtered. At the beginning, when you closed one eye for smuggling, this is the mystery! Had to be admirable,
　　Accurate intelligence, precise strikes, and then quickly escape. If such an attack was launched before, everyone would immediately think of the Imperial Bank, which has professional mercenaries.
　　 But now, everyone’s eyes will only look at Pope Putamia who has just entered the Holy Capital
