Chapter 1546 Summoning Ge Manda
Tina and the others took a carriage to Miss Perrigi's mansion for dinner, and Apal and Olivia were also sent by Jia Zhengjin.
Anyway, the other party did not stipulate how many people would eat with Miss Perrigi. It was definitely a loss to spend 4,500 gold coins. At least letting them eat more would reduce the loss.
Jia Zhengjin was the only one left at home, and he had to deal with the subsequent troubles.
The female knight Ladiya quickly brought the Gemanda family to this temporary residence according to Jia Zhengjin's order.
Before arriving, he was seriously warned that the next person to meet was the Duke who had just been appointed by the King of Duolunbu, and his status was very high. And he was also a hidden strong man who had just solved the problem of the Titan Labyrinth. Therefore, when meeting, there must be no overstepping of status or rude behavior.
Gemanda was very nervous. After all, the Duke was a person whose status in a country was second only to the royal family, and his power was particularly great.
I don't know why this newly appointed Duke summoned his family? Could it be that the political enemies in the country have not given up yet, and they are also connected with the nobles of Duolunbu? Or is it that the noble before actually has a relationship with the Duke, so he asked the Duke to come forward and insisted on taking his daughter away?
What should I do if this is true? Now my family has no ability to protect themselves at all...
With an uneasy mood, he looked at his family around him worriedly all the way. Gemanda was panicked and kept thinking about how to protect himself and his family if he really encountered the two possibilities he imagined?
When they arrived at the destination, when the female knight Ladiya urged him to get off the car, Gemanda resisted from the bottom of his heart, hoping to return the original way and leave the country immediately.
But it was just a thought. If he really wanted to escape, he probably couldn't even get out of the city gate.
Helplessly, he could only get off the carriage with his family carefully, supporting each other and following Ladiya step by step.
"My Lord Duke, the person has been brought here!" Ladiya asked them to wait outside the door, watched by the gatekeepers, and entered the hall to report to "Duke Martin".
"Thank you for your hard work," Jia Zhengjin nodded, "bring everyone in!"
"Yes!" Ladiya bowed her head respectfully and quickly went outside to invite Gemanda's family.
If you stick your head out, you will get a knife. Gemanda had no choice but to follow Ladiya into the hall with his family nervously.
Just seeing "Duke Martin" sitting in the middle of the hall, Gemanda bowed in a panic before he could see his appearance clearly: "Greetings, Your Excellency the Duke!"
"Greetings, Your Excellency the Duke!" Gemanda's family members also bowed their heads, not daring to look at the big man opposite casually.
Jia Zhengjin glanced and found that there were a total of ten people who followed Ladiya in, including men and women, old and young.
The two beautiful women, one big and one small, who were very nervous next to Gemanda, should be his wife and daughter. As for the others, it is hard to tell what their relationship is.
"You are Gemanda," Jia Zhengjin looked at the middle-aged man in the lead, "The Minister of Economy of the Kingdom of Muritius?"
"I am the former Minister of Economy, respected Duke!" Gemanda answered nervously, not daring to look up casually, "Because I was framed, I lost my official position and had to flee abroad in the hope of finding a place to live in seclusion and avoid disaster!"
"Yes!" Jia Zhengjin nodded slightly, "Then did you have a conflict with a local noble before?"
Gemanda's heart tightened immediately, and he answered in a panic: "Report to the Duke, we did not take the initiative to provoke anyone when we first arrived, and we dared not go against the nobles of your country. It was just that the noble wanted to take my daughter away, and later a few kind mercenary friends helped to save us. I hope the Duke will understand!"
"Please understand, Duke!" Gemanda's family members also bowed their heads in fear and said in unison.
It's almost the same as what Tina said.
Jia Zhengjin didn't think Tina would lie, but now he is more assured: "Ge Manda, look up!"
"Yes!" With the Duke's permission,
Ge Manda dared to look up slowly.
As for his family members, they still kept their heads down. After all, the Duke only asked Ge Manda to look up. If they looked up and made the Duke unhappy, the whole family might suffer. After all, no one knows what the Duke's temper is like.
Ge Manda looked up carefully. When he saw the Duke in front of him, who was covered in a cloak and looked mysterious, he was stunned at first, and then immediately asked respectfully: "May I ask, what instructions does the Duke have for summoning our family?"
"Don't be nervous!" Seeing that their whole family was very scared, Jia Zhengjin said immediately, "I am a mercenary. Because I completed the Titan Labyrinth mission, I was awarded the title of Duke by the king. The mercenaries who saved you before happened to be my companions left in the city."
Hearing this, the fear on Ge Manda's face finally subsided a little. If he is a companion of those mercenary friends, he must not be a high-ranking official known by the curly-haired nobles or political enemies, right?
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "So you are the companion of those mercenary friends, they must be your subordinates. Such righteous subordinates should be the credit of the Duke's daily teaching."
"You are quite good at flattering?" Jia Zhengjin said calmly, "But I don't need your flattering skills, I just want to know if you are really capable!"
"Could it be that the Duke wants to recruit me?" Ge Manda showed a happy expression. "Although my ability is limited, I have been the Minister of Economy in Muritius for many years. As long as it is related to the national economy, I dare not say that I am very outstanding, but I will definitely be in line with the rules and will not make mistakes easily! The Duke can find someone to test my ability. It's just... the noble lord before doesn't seem to be easy to mess with. I am willing to be loyal to the Duke and become a member of Duolunbu, but..."
"Who said I am recruiting you for Duolunbu?" Jia Zhengjin said calmly.
"Then what you mean is..." Ge Manda was a little stunned. He thought that since the person in front of him was the Duke of Duolunbu, recruiting me would not mean serving Duolunbu? Then his face changed. Could it be that this Duke was very ambitious and wanted to drive the king out of power and replace him? What should I do? It's best not to get involved in this kind of political struggle casually, it's fatal!
But in front of the Duke, if I dare to refuse, will it be more troublesome?
Just as he was daydreaming, the "Duke Martin" in front of him spoke again: "I have some connection with Shenglong City. Do you know Shenglong City?"
"Shenglong City?" Ge Manda nodded blankly, "Of course I know, who hasn't heard of Shenglong City now?"
"Since you know it, it's easy to say. I want to recommend you to serve as the Minister of Economy of Shenglong City. Of course, I must confirm your ability before that." Jia Zhengjin said, "Since you think you are very capable in economics, tell me in detail now. If you speak well, you can take my letter of recommendation. If you disappoint me, I won't do anything to you, and you can go back to where you came from."
