Chapter 513 Cleaning
"Sir Robert, what are you?"

Hudson asked suspiciously.

As the honorary marshal of the Principality of Moxi, he was somewhat ostentatious.In the royal capital of Dapac, there is also a marshal's mansion in Hudson.

Although it is not necessary to come once every few years, there is still no shortage of face-to-face meetings.

In this regard, the Mosi people have done a very beautiful job.It can also be proved from the side that the pockets of the Moxi government are still very rich.

In comparison, the government of the Alpha Kingdom is much more stingy.In order to save expenses, the mansion has to be maintained at its own expense.

Fortunately, none of the high-level officials in the kingdom lived on their salaries. Otherwise, the little money distributed by the government would not even be able to pay for the daily maintenance of the mansion.

Of course, this does not mean that the salaries of Alpha Kingdom officials are low, nor does it mean that the government is corrupt and incompetent; it is just that the kingdom is short of finances after the war, and cannot pay salaries for the time being, nor can it afford to pay for the maintenance of the official residence.

Low-level bureaucrats have to support their families, and no one dares to touch that salary, so they can only owe the salary to the higher-ups first.All the top officials of the kingdom, including King Caesar IV, are creditors of the Ministry of Finance.

This debt has become a habit. Since Hudson became the Marshal of the Kingdom, he has never received a full salary except during the war.

Under normal circumstances, the royal government needs to pay Hudson [-] gold coins per year for annual salary + various subsidies + mansion maintenance costs.

The reality is that Hudson can only receive 300 gold coins from the kingdom government every year, and the real payment ratio is exactly [-]%, so that he doesn't know how to complain.

There is no doubt that this is a standard figure after precise calculation by the Ministry of Finance.

Just enough to cover a bureaucrat to support his family and maintain a decent life for the lower-level nobles.As long as there are no major changes, under normal circumstances, there will be a balance of one hundred and eighty gold coins per year.

Officials with an annual income above this figure were all owed salaries by the Royal Government for various reasons, while those below this figure were paid in full.

Including the king's annuity, you can only receive so much every year, and the remaining hundreds of thousands are owed.

It's an old tradition. After every war, there will be a wave of wage arrears.It's just that it lasted a little longer this time.

Hudson has no hope of repaying the arrears of wages.Even if the royal government has a surplus, it is impossible to reissue it.

There is no way, hundreds of years of old accounts added together have long become a huge number that cannot be touched.

So much so that Hudson secretly regretted many times, why did he give the money from selling inherited knowledge to the Moxi people at that time, if it was given to the kingdom...

I can't go on assuming.With the attention the Alpha Kingdom has received, if the government has a huge amount of funds whose sources are unknown, all parties can turn the continent to check.

As soon as he came back from the auction site, he found that all the people who came from the kingdom to participate in the auction were blocked at the door of his house, and Hudson was at a loss.

"Marshal, the Principality of Moxi is probably being targeted.

It may not be accidental that the followers of evil gods suddenly appeared.The fox girl has become an elf, and the traces of man-made manipulation by the big forces behind the scenes are more obvious.

After such a change, it is estimated that the Moxi government has lost the mind and continued to hold the auction.

We would like to ask you to help us lead the line and trade some potions and alchemy items with the Mosi in private.

If possible, please help me to clear up the relationship and let us visit the laboratory of Master Kempey. "

After listening to the first half of Robert's analysis, Hudson was taken aback. He thought that the old guys in front of him were going to come out of the arena again.

Fortunately, although these people care about politics, there are not many of them.If these old guys also jump out and mix politics, the kingdom will be lively.

The latter proposal is nothing more than a transaction, and the visit to the laboratory is obviously a bit out of the ordinary.

Under normal circumstances, no matter which force discovers Master Kemboy's laboratory, it will keep it strictly confidential.

If it weren't for the good relations between the two countries, and they dared to make such rude demands, the Moxi people would be able to send them out of the country.

"As for the transaction, I can help you connect. But I won't get involved in the specific transaction.

At the auction site, you also felt it.There is nothing cheap about the works of Master Kemboyi.No matter what you want to buy next, the price has to be negotiated by yourself.

The problem in the laboratory is probably a little troublesome.It is impossible for the Moxi people to intentionally release the news if Master Kemboy is involved.

Even if the inheritance of Master Kemboy is hidden in the laboratory, it has been taken away by the Mosi people long ago.

Most of what you have seen in the past is the laboratory they have gone through countless times. It is difficult to gain something, and it is easy to be suspected by others. "

Hudson politely refused.

It doesn't matter if he builds up a bridge, if he adds a few more buyers, he can sell more potions.

Private transactions are different from public auctions, and the same potion can be sold to different buyers at a high price at the same time under the banner of out-of-print.

For a win-win situation, Hudson naturally doesn't mind helping.But the laboratory is different. Although he has already entered it himself, it does not mean that anyone can enter.

Favors are not for sale.

Originally, the main purpose of this auction was to make fakes. If these old guys were allowed in, if they accidentally wore it and let them find out that the potion was not made by Master Kempey, it would be a big trouble.

"Sorry for embarrassing the marshal! As for the matter of the laboratory, let's pretend that we didn't talk about it.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but some of us old guys always feel that there is something wrong with Dapace's limelight. If the marshal has nothing else to do, let's leave as soon as possible!
With your strength, you are naturally not afraid of some troubles, but that little girl Melissa is not good! "

Robert's words gave Hudson a black line.I have to admit that the relationship in the noble circle is indeed complicated.Listening to the tone, the person in front of me seems to be Melissa's elder.

Calculating from the time, when Robert was young, the Holliser family was still a great nobleman in the kingdom, and it was normal to have a relationship.

After the decline of the family, it is impossible to preserve the inheritance and recuperate without the support of anyone behind it.

Of course, so much time has passed.No matter how close the original relationship was, they are not close relatives now, otherwise it is impossible for Hudson not to know.

Calculating the interval of more than a hundred years, there is a high probability that the two parties have been separated by three, four, five or six generations, and they have no distant relatives who usually have no contact.

If Melissa hadn't married Hudson, it is estimated that this relationship would gradually fade away, and there would never be a day of activation.

The situation is different now. Hudson has the value of being wooed by all parties, and no matter how distant the relatives are, they can become the link.

Even if there is no relationship, a relationship can be created.It's just that Hudson's son is still young, and the brothers and sisters above are all married, so everyone has no chance to show it.

As for the younger brother below, because the birth mother's status is too low, there is no way to get into the eyes of the big nobles.

In this era of bloodlines, there is a bottom line for the marriage of the great nobles, and the worst is the nobles.

Of course, Sanctuary and Dragon Knight, the top powerhouses in the continent, can also make people ignore their origins.

In short, there is only one principle, high-end circle players must be their own people.If you are not your own person, then find a way to become your own person.

"My lord, don't worry, I won't stay here for a long time. What's more, this is the capital of Duke Moxi. If some storms can't calm down, they won't be able to survive the last continental war.

The most troublesome thing now is not knowing who is behind the scenes.As long as the enemy is found, the threat will no longer exist. "

Hudson replied with a smile.

He accepted all kind concerns.As for what to leave, it is natural to wait for the customer to leave first.

If you run too fast, someone behind will buy magic potion at a high price, and you will lose a lot of money.

The point is that Hudson has just received a big business for the Near East Development Bank. Even if it is a fraudulent account, hundreds of millions of funds are involved. If he doesn't arrange it himself, he won't be at ease!

As for safety, just keep Melissa out of sight.My own dragon and bear are all wandering around, normal people wouldn't be so bothered.

Even if it's a sneak attack, it needs to be faster than these two guys.Demonic beasts don't pay attention to evidence when they do things. If they sense the killing intent, they just slap them in the face. If they don't die, they will be half disabled.

In recent years, there have been quite a few unlucky people who have been accidentally injured. Many noble children were beaten to death by two gangsters as assassins just because they showed murderous intent.

Fortunately, this is a magical world, and severed limbs can be regenerated. As long as the loss of vitality is not too much, serious injuries can also be pulled back.

Half of Hudson's reputation outside is due to the battlefield, and the other half is due to the credit of these two guys.

After all, in the world of nobles, the military achievements can only be respected by everyone, but if you want to make people fearful, you still have to rely on your fists.

The aristocratic circle is intricate, and he hit his own family if he was not careful.The emerging nobles were hostile in the circle, and some of them were accidentally typed out when they were famous for their families.

It is naturally inconvenient for Hudson to appear on the stage for this kind of hatred.The children of the Koslow family were unable to shoulder this important task.

Maxim and Bear Stearns had no scruples in this regard, no matter what their background was, they were all two-legged beasts in their eyes.

And after being beaten, the other party still dare not hold grudges.In case the murderous intent is sensed again, there will be another fat beating, but there will be no place to cry.

Anyway, every time after the incident, Hudson took the two goods to find someone to apologize, and the attitude of the other party was very good, and he never mentioned the matter of compensation.

……

"Commander, the Moxi people have sealed off the city, and there are heavy soldiers patrolling everywhere, what should we do now?"

What the middle-aged man said made the old man frown.Originally, when he left the auction site, he should gather his men and run away.

However, things went so smoothly that he ignored the risks.I want to do another big ticket before I leave, so that I can claim credit for it when I go back.

As a result, after such a hesitation, his profile picture was posted and he became an honorable wanted criminal.

It was exposed so quickly that the old man was caught off guard.

The main reason for being able to successfully assassinate the Principality of Moxi is that they were in the dark. Now that they have been sent to the bright side, many things cannot be operated.

Now there are officers and soldiers everywhere in the city. They are all outsiders, and they are guiding lights when they gather together to act.

However, the old man didn't dare to let his subordinates disperse. If one of them was accidentally caught, it would be the end of the calf.

Loyalty cannot stand the test, and the old man does not want to try to challenge human nature unless it is absolutely necessary.

Once their identities are exposed, even if they can escape unscathed, they will be dead.No big power will admit that they are "rats" who can't see the light.

Compared with the laborious aftermath, it is obviously easier to kill people and silence them.Something without evidence means it didn't happen.

"Don't panic!

Things are not as bad as you imagined. The Moxi people just suspected that they fell in love with us, and they are not sure of everyone's true identity.

Because of the auction, in the recent period, there have been a lot of foreigners who have poured in, and we won't be found for a while.

Wait and see, there are so many people participating in the auction, it is impossible for the Moxi people to hold them all.Maybe in a few days, they will let it go.

When the time comes, we will leave together, and if necessary, we can recruit a few more powerful forces to tease them and the Moxi people..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a heavy knock on the door outside.

"Quickly open the door and check the evil god believers routinely!"

The shouts of the officers outside the door broke the old man's pastry painting skills and brought everyone back to reality from their beautiful fantasies.

At this moment, it doesn't matter what to do later, the key is to get through this hurdle first.

"Wula, go over and open the door, don't make the military master outside wait too long!"

The old man deliberately raised his voice and said.

The original identity was exposed, and the profile picture was hung up with a wanted warrant, so the identity could no longer be used.Now the identity of the old man has changed from a noble from the Southern Continent to a businessman.

Different identities require different attitudes.When playing the role of a nobleman, it doesn't matter if you have a ruthless attitude towards this kind of routine inspection.

The more aggressive they are, the more everyone believes in their identities.After all, if someone from an ancient noble family has no temper, it would be unreasonable.

Now he is acting as a business traveller, and what he pursues is making money through harmony, so naturally his attitude should not be so high.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Wu La, who had just opened the door and hadn't reacted yet, was directly shot into a dice and died on the spot.

This scene scared the souls of everyone in the room.They didn't even have a routine questioning, and they just went on a killing spree, clearly confirming that there was something wrong with their identities.

"Everyone doesn't need to keep it. Hurry up and use your means to fight out. After breaking through and leaving separately, we will meet at the next stronghold."

The old man ordered with a little fear.

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the old man led the crowd through a wall of the room and rushed out, looking for a chance to escape.

It's a pity that the Moxi people had prepared a long time ago and deployed a large number of troops in the vicinity. After rushing out of the room, they were greeted by a rain of arrows.

……

Similar scenes continue to be staged in the city of Da Pest.As long as there is a problem with the identification, the Moxi government will directly send troops to destroy it.

Believers of evil gods, cult organizations, spies from various countries stationed in the city of Dapace, local hooligans, shady noble thugs...all became victims.

Obviously, what happened this time completely angered all the senior leaders of the Principality of Moxi.They couldn't find who was behind the scenes, so they simply launched a wave of cleansing to kill all suspects.

The principle pursued by the Moxi people now is: "If there is a mistake in killing, don't let it go!"

Countless unlucky people, just because of their own identity, have unfortunately become sacrifices under this wave of cleansing.

But more of those who were killed were the "rats" in the underground world.It can be said that after this major cleansing, the law and order in Da Pest City has been improved by at least two or three levels!
