Chapter 487 Assassination of Viscount Balin

As a viscount and the commander of the 101st Division, Balin is older than his father in the Daxia Empire.

To put it bluntly, as long as you don't rebel, you can go sideways in Daxia.

Moreover, Bahrain is the youngest son of the family. He has been accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of people since he was a child, but he has become less arrogant after gaining power.

Keep a low profile and make money.

This is Bahrain's goal in life. With such power, it is almost impossible to move up. Moreover, His Majesty is courteous and his ministers are obedient, and he has no objection at all.

With such a person, the family caravan has an advantage, and he has a background. Of course, he is the first-class caravan on the sea.

Not to mention pirates, even customs and tax officials need to look higher.

So being robbed of a ship is simply a big joke.

Are pirates really stupid? They seek wealth, not death.

Bahrain naturally understands that there is a problem here, not to mention that the ship's trip this time is not included in the records at all, which clearly shows that there is a problem.

"Check, check for me, what's going on?"

Some things can easily be covered up by covering them up and down.

But once you get serious, it’s easy to find out old accounts.

Bahrain's own fleet has been managed together with the Rudd family's fleet, but the accounts were finally divided.

Therefore, the ship that was involved in the accident was still in the dock for repairs in name, but in fact it was borrowed.

The reason is very simple. One of the Ladd family's ships was temporarily damaged, and then they took care of the bottom and made a sudden change.

As long as the boat is returned afterwards and things are done correctly, no one will find out.

In the accounts, the matter of going to sea cannot even be found.

By the time the steward in charge of ship dispatching was caught in front of Bahrain, he was already paralyzed on the ground.

"Viscount, please, Viscount, I was confused. Master Collison asked me for help, and I can't shirk it! My lord, please spare me!"

The steward cried with snot and tears. As an old man brought from the Ladd family, Bahrain thought that he was not unkind to him, but unfortunately now he felt cold.

"Damn it, you are eating my food, but you are working for that bastard Collison. Are you a member of the Ladd family now, or are you a member of my Bahrain family?" Bahrain was furious. If the family is separated, the family will be separated. What is Master Collison? Do you miss your old master?

I have built a career, but in front of these family elders, am I still inferior to the useless eldest brother?

Corruption is not a capital crime, but betrayal is.

Balin didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and didn't listen to the cry. He was pulled down directly: "Kill him, and expel all his relatives from home, and let them find Collison."

Didn’t you listen to my elder brother? Then everyone goes to him.

Although we know how the ship left the port, the matter still needs to be investigated.

Regardless of the reason, there will definitely be a price to pay for scuttling my ship.

If Bahrain ignores it, it will lose its prestige. In the future, any pirates will dare to plunder Bahrain.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his angry mood, and wrote a letter by hand.

"Send someone to Minister Adrian and ask for the deployment of naval ships to destroy the pirates."

This matter is considered a personal request, but destroying pirates is also the duty of the Imperial Navy, so it is not too much.

Of course, I will inevitably owe a favor in the future, and I will also need to make up for the condolences to the Navy.

The loss must be huge. When this matter is over, we must go to that bastard Collison to hold him accountable.

Viscount Balin was angry for a while, but he didn't really take this matter to his heart.

In the final analysis, it was just a merchant ship, and his family could afford it from his big business.

Even more angry, I still felt that I was embarrassed, so I couldn't give up my anger.

Because he still has a military position, he used to travel back and forth between the army and the city.

This time he came back to deal with the matter and returned to the army.

When his letter arrived, the naval fleet immediately sent a small fleet to pursue the pirates.

Viscount Baring stayed in the military camp for several days and did not continue to pay attention to this matter.

On his rest day, he sat in the car and prepared to return to the city.

Although the 101st Division is a second-line division, it has been established longer than many field divisions, and the division commander is also well-connected, so the equipment is not bad.

Viscount Balin also traveled with three cars and a platoon of guards.

This is because His Majesty attacks the private armies of nobles, so he rarely carries private armed forces with him when traveling.

But under normal circumstances, the role of guards is more symbolic.

The Great Xia Empire was peaceful and peaceful, not to mention singing and dancing, and no one dared to quarrel with a senior officer or noble.

Viscount Baring was sitting in the car and thought about the dispatch of his ship. He had already sent several telegrams to his father to complain and severely reprimanded his eldest brother.

This still doesn't make him angry, but the old father is still alive, so he can't enjoy doing things as much as he wants.

Just as I was thinking about it, the car suddenly stopped suddenly.

The guards running with the carriage came forward to check. Without reporting back, Viscount Balin saw a simple carriage in front of him with a broken axle, blocking the passage.

Although he didn't feel very happy, Viscount Bahrain still ordered: "Go and help them, help them repair the car, and then ask if you want us to help deliver it."

Although he is a noble, he has learned His Majesty's way of dealing with people and is particularly tolerant of civilians.

But at this moment, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a large number of people rushing out from both sides.

Viscount Baring was an officer who had been on the battlefield. He instinctively sensed the danger and bent down to avoid it.

The guards on the left and right reacted faster, raised their guns and were ready to shoot.

But the assassin was obviously more prepared, holding a pistol and starting to shoot continuously.

In just a dozen seconds, the magazine was emptied.

"Go!!"

The other guards were already fighting back, and the long guns were still a little less powerful at this time.

However, the guards were well-trained and there were many of them, enough to fight back.

The assassin took a look inside the car and confirmed that Viscount Balin had been shot, and a lot of blood had flowed out of the car.

A normal person would definitely not survive.

The civilians around had already scattered like birds and beasts.

With the local defense force of Daxia, the security team will arrive soon, and even the army will come in.

Besides, they know who they want to kill.

That is to say, they use the streets in the city, otherwise with Viscount Balin's personal guards, they will definitely not have the opportunity to get close.

The reason why the assassin is an assassin is that he does not have the strength to attack head-on?

Leaving four bodies behind, the other assassins quickly retreated.

When the nearby security guards came trotting over, they were shocked when they saw the scene.

Although he knew that such dense gunfire was definitely not a trivial matter, this matter was too big, it was really exposed.

When he saw Viscount Barin's guards light the signal flare, the security guard blew the whistle belatedly.

Ding!!!!!!

Oh my god, it was really exposed.
