Chapter 3320 One After Another

Just when the head of the family was desperate, a merchant family's caravan was robbed.

This time, they were robbed in the forest outside Airui City.

This Xingshang family and the Xingshang family that were robbed before were both families that had not signed the agreement.

I have to say that these people are really brave enough.

As the saying goes: Man dies for money and bird dies for food.

The ancients never deceived me.

If the caravan is robbed, the head of the family will definitely not be able to sit still.

The head of the second family whose caravan was intercepted immediately approached the foreign affairs department, hoping to discuss the matter with me face to face.

After receiving my refusal to negotiate, he even said that he could select one-third of the robbed goods and contribute them to me.

But I still refused to negotiate because I didn’t lack the money.

Some of my people are a little moved. It's no wonder. The information I got from my informants is that some of the officials who were moved were because they accepted bribes from the head of the family.

However, accepting bribes is a bribe. After sensing my determination to refuse negotiation, they did not forcefully persuade me, so I lightly exposed the matter of accepting bribes.

After all, in official circles, no one is clean. If you want to avoid trouble, the best way is to deal with the people below clearly. For things like giving and receiving bribes, as long as you don't make problems on the general principles, disobey me, and Or destroy my plan, I can turn a blind eye or close an eye, but if you dare to confront me, humph, let alone you are just a group of ordinary officials, even the descendants of the emperor, I will deal with it as well.

But don’t forget, first of all, I am the grandson-in-law of Her Majesty the Elf Queen, and secondly, I am the future husband of Her Majesty the Elf Queen. Putting these two points together, my status in Moonlight City is below the two of them and above ten thousand people. .

And these two people still have complete trust in me, which is equivalent to the fact that I am the one with the highest status in Moonlight City.

With the highest status and the protection of two majesties, I also have the greatest natural rights. If I think any guy from the Royal Group will affect my plan, even if I kill him directly, nothing will happen.

At most, I will be complained about by the two majesties for a while.

I know this truth, and others know it even better.

No one who is born into an imperial family and can become an official is a fool.

As a result, the two family heads who were robbed could only follow their connections and continue to beg their grandfather to sue their grandmother, hoping to get in touch with the higher-level Huanggui Group so that they could send troops to assist. If that didn't work, they could help suppress it. In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, if you are forced to do something soft or hard, I will let go.

Although there are indeed many silverfish and wastes in the Huanggui Group, the problem is that there is no fool who has a certain say in the Huanggui Group or who is qualified to lead troops in war.

After this group of people heard that the person they wanted to deal with was me, they all stopped and pretended that they had never met the two family heads.

Soon, the two heads of the family were like stinking shit in the upper class society. Anyone who saw them would stay away for fear of being stuck.

The two heads of the family were suffering in their hearts, but they couldn't express their suffering.

I think back then, they dominated the shopping mall, they could call the wind and rain, and their power was unlimited.

Looking at now, just because of a mistake in taking sides, just because they were dazzled by profits, the family suffered huge losses. Not only was it impossible to get justice, but even recovering the losses became an unattainable luxury.

The two family heads were so miserable that they almost committed suicide by hanging from the beam.

It is said that luckily there were family members who stopped him, so it didn't lead to tragedy.

However, the family's loss has been confirmed.

After suffering such a huge loss, the position of the head of the family must be given up.

It is said that in order to compete for the position of the head of the family, two large merchant families actually launched a fierce battle. I don’t know the exact number of casualties, and I haven’t sent anyone to check the statistics. But what is certain is that from then on, those two The family's status plummeted in the business world, falling directly from a first-class business family to a third-class business family.

After hearing the news, I had to sigh: time is destiny.

However, the decline of these two families has become a lesson for other families.

For a long time after that, other merchant families stopped.

This time it stopped completely.

No family dares to do business in Airei City or York Hancheng anymore.

This state lasted for a full month.

However, in just one month, the aristocratic groups of Ai Rui City and York City were unable to bear it.

The main reason is the rare wood.

Originally, part of the import of this rare wood relied on public transactions between countries, while the other half was traded privately by aristocratic groups and merchants.

But now, all the merchant families in Moonlight City have stopped trading with the aristocratic groups of the two countries, which has invisibly caused the aristocratic group to lose a lot of wealth.

Not only that, until the aristocratic group could no longer import timber from Moonlight City, the two monarchs began to consider establishing a direct trading channel with Moonlight City, that is, all timber would be traded through the royal trade route, and no one other than the royal family would be allowed to participate. .

The royal family blatantly wanted to compete with the aristocratic group for business. How could the aristocrats tolerate it? So they began to contact the merchant families of Moonlight City who had a good relationship with them.

However, most of the merchant families they contacted have signed agreements. Now, their goods can be sold at the original price in the country, and there will never be unsalable goods.

These families wish that the ban could be extended for another period of time, or even wish that the ban could last forever.

After all, it is simply a fantasy to sell all goods at the original price without causing unsalable goods.

Seeing that these families were unreliable, the noble group had no choice but to change the direction and try to contact the merchant families who had not signed the agreement.

Unfortunately, most of these merchant families were frightened, and no one was willing to do business with the aristocratic groups in Ai Rui City and York Han City while the ban lasted.

However, there are many among them who are not afraid of death and are lucky.

The way we target these families is to send a team of elite adventurers to transform into bandits and plunder them on the road.

As for the manpower, I have already prepared it, which is the descendants of the legendary heroes.

Don't underestimate the descendants of legendary heroes. Although they cannot inherit the skills of their ancestors, they are not something ordinary adventurers can fight against.

In order to complete the plan, I specially invited the descendants of Xi Lan to come forward and help secretly form a strong team of adventurers. They disguised themselves as the strong men who had previously robbed the two merchant families and launched an attack on the caravan. .

Naturally, the result was that we successfully took away the goods, while the Hongshang family suffered huge losses.
