Gold coin is justice - Chapter 1372

Tesla responded: “it’s only less than a month since it happened. Everyone panicked. At that time, all kinds of rumors rose, saying that you, President, have also died in the hunter empire.”

“But thanks to everyone… Everyone cheer up and comfort the citizens. In addition, the capital chain of our guild is still not broken and can afford this consumption, so in general, there are not many people walking. But to be honest, if you come back a month later… I really can’t imagine what it will be like. ”

Looking at the worried faces of these left behind guild members, Ariel also knew that she really should set an example. Then she nodded gently and said, “has the Baron’s heavy cavalry regiment come since then? Or have they finished their work and returned to life? ”

Hearing this question, the members of the left behind guild turned their eyes to Brad who didn’t speak over there. No, more accurately, it should be looking at Buffy on Brad’s shoulder.

Buffy looked at Brad, then coughed gently and said, “my sisters have investigated. The heavy cavalry regiment did not leave, but stationed in Tianhe City. As Lord of Tianhe City, Norris paxas has already surrendered. ”

Ariel thought for a moment and said, “in other words, are they going to come and challenge us again at the right time? Well… It can be imagined that in this border province, Baron guangzhongguang’s heavy cavalry troops are almost synonymous with invincibility. As long as they don’t harass at night, they can go wherever they want during the day. ”

The cream on one side bit his teeth and hummed, “it’s really free! Now there are farmers in so many places in the Empire who become bandits because they don’t have enough to eat. Instead of suppressing bandits, they come and hold us down! Hum! ”

As soon as the voice fell, cream suddenly realized that dak, with a black face next to him, wanted to apologize for a moment, but when he thought carefully, he didn’t think he had said anything wrong, so after scratching the back of his head, he simply stopped talking.

Ariel turned to Tesla over there: “have all the element machines been destroyed? Is there anything you can use? ”

Tesla sighed and said, “although we didn’t say that they were all destroyed, we have been ordered to stop work… It seems that they intend to transport all the machines back to the capital, so they will come and transport one or two machines every three or five times. We don’t know how many element cars we managed to produce have been towed away… ”

Ariel continued, “what about the design drawings? Even if the design drawing is robbed, it is only the design drawing? ”

In this regard, Tesla nodded: “it doesn’t matter if the design drawings are stolen. Most of them have copies on my side. Just… President, now our mermaid song has been ordered to shut down, your position as mayor has been replaced, and the factories have been forcibly closed. Even if all this can be recovered… But once recovered, it is a felony of beheading against your life! Even if you are the prince’s mistress… Such a joke can’t be made? ”

“Mistress? Hehe… Yes… I almost forgot. I’m still the mistress of the royal family of the blue bay empire… Hehe… ”

For a moment, Ariel didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. She tilted her head and glanced at the sweet wine and cheese sitting on the sofa over there.

As soon as the long princess touched Ariel’s eyes, she couldn’t help shivering and hurriedly turned her head away.

“My mistress… I’m really ‘relaxed and comfortable’! But now I’m tied up with the company commander and princess. Capital punishment? I did it long ago, didn’t I? ”

The sweet wine cheese was full of excitement and immediately said, “you let me go now! I promise not to let you die! ”

“The blue bay royal family has never thought about the root of the problem… And they don’t know what to do in the end!”

Ariel raised her hand, slapped it heavily on the table, clenched her teeth and said slowly——

“I tried to sign a peace treaty for him and the hunter Empire, tried my best to mediate, opened up a trade route for him and laid a foundation for peace without damaging the patriarchal power of the blue bay empire… But he turned around and sold me?”

“Hehe… Royal family… Royal family! This royal family is really ‘respected’ and ‘great’. ”

Obviously, even sweet wine cheese is beginning to notice that the “Prince mistress” feels a little wrong now. Although the other party’s mouth has obviously shouted out such “treacherous” words, sweet wine cheese has no courage to contradict her!

Although, almost all the guild members around now expressed surprise and panic at the words of the former president.

For Ariel, these vent… Really can only be used as vent.

When she looked up and saw the panic expression on the faces of the guild members around her, she knew she had lost her temper.

At that moment, she rubbed her temples slightly, slowly breathed out a breath and said, “at least I now understand what kind of situation our guild is in… Coco, what about the guild’s books? Show me. ”

Seeing that Ariel’s expression was gradually returning to plain, cocoa finally nodded, went to the counter, took the account book and put it on the tea table in front of Ariel.

Ariel opened the account book and only looked at it roughly, but her relaxed eyebrows wrinkled again involuntarily.

She remembered clearly that when she left Pelican City, there was 8995 gold on the book of mermaid song.

But now, look at the situation on the account book. Now the remaining funds of the whole mermaid song are less than 100 gold?

“What’s going on?”

Ariel tried her best to keep calm, and her face was as calm as if she were asking what to eat tonight. She didn’t seem to move at all.

Cocoa shrunk her neck, stuck out her tongue a little and said, “sister president, you… Won’t you be angry? We made things… So bad… ”

Ariel raised her head and held back her anger, but she still kept a smile on her face: “how could it? I’d love to know what’s going on. After knowing the specific reasons, I can deal with the problems well. ”

Seeing Ariel’s gentle expression, cocoa finally let go of her heart and said, “actually… It’s like this. At the end of last year, I cleaned up the deficit and debt of our guild in accordance with your request. ”

“Among them, George peanut Tun and Eddie invincible withdrew their deposits in accordance with the contract. Then there are other debts… ”

“Wait a minute.” Ariel suddenly cut off, “I had expected that the Holy See and the association would take the money back. But I should have said that we should strive to let them continue to invest money in our guild? ”

Cocoa’s words were suddenly interrupted, which made the death mage panic. She held her breath and looked at Ariel. After confirming that the expression on the president’s sister’s face had no sense of blame, she exhaled and continued——

“Yes, we also tried to make them continue to invest money at that time. But just then, the emperor’s order came… ”

Margo shook her head and then said, “to be more accurate, after the royal order came, the talents of the association and the Holy See wanted to take all the money away at one go. Then, since our mermaid song guild had been recognized as an illegal organization at that time, how could they continue to invest money in us? ”

Although this explanation has some truth, Ariel is not very satisfied.

An order came from the emperor. You are here one by one. You don’t want to get money? Do you know how people die? At least in this blue bay Empire, countless people die every day because of Royal orders. She, Ariel, doesn’t want to be next.

“Continue.”

Under Ariel’s seemingly plain words, cocoa nodded and continued——

“Then, according to the president’s sister’s intention, we returned our arrears last year to those who lent us money. Of course, a large part of the interest is attached. When we returned the money, we thought about whether we should ask them to continue borrowing money, but… ”

At this point, cocoa looked at Brad nearby. Ariel turned to the shield warrior, and her eyes were obviously asking.

Brad scratched his head with a simple smile on his face. But after such a simple smile, he lowered his head again and put on a look of admitting his mistake to Ariel: “I’m sorry… President, I’m wrong.”

Ariel: “what did you do?”

Brad looked very depressed: “the city we went to pay back the money… That is, bujuan city. When Buffy and I arrived, the city was already under martial law…”

The news was somewhat unexpected to Ariel: “martial law?”

Brad nodded gently and said, “yes, later I heard that bujuan itself is not a city suitable for farming. Therefore, it takes raising silkworm and weaving silk thread as its main business. But over the past two years, rain has become scarce throughout the blue bay Empire, drought has increased, and there is no food everywhere. At this time, for the whole year of last year, the Lord of bujuan city gathered a large number of food and gold and silver treasures in his treasure house for his own selfish desires, and then prevented those farmers from rioting through bloody suppression. ”

“When I arrived, I could hardly enter the city. When the LORD heard that I was a mermaid song to pay back the money, he was very polite to me. He asked all the farmers to collect the bills owed and give them to me, and then asked me to give him the money. ”

Ariel was slightly stunned: “did you do it?”

Brad immediately shook his head and said, “no, president. Although I’m a little stupid, with the president for so many years, I still know who can believe and who can’t. At that time, I didn’t know why. Anyway, I just thought I couldn’t give the money to him directly, so I asked that I must give the money back to the farmers myself. ”

Ariel felt a little relieved: “then what? What did the Lord of bujuan city do? ”

Brad immediately laughed and said, “well, although the LORD looked a little unhappy, he didn’t say anything, but really called the farmers together and asked me to pay back a little bit. Only after I paid back the money, I wanted them to invest, but they didn’t respond. They all took the money and left. So I can’t help it. ”

Here, Brad paused for a moment, as if waiting for Ariel’s reaction. Seeing that Ariel didn’t do anything, he continued——

“Then I finished sending the money. I don’t think those farmers want to continue to invest, so they can only leave. The Lord personally sent me out of the city. At the same time, he said that the whole city would continue martial law and let me not go back if I had nothing to do. So… So I went to the cotton liquor city where we also owed money. Basically, the things I encountered were almost the same. But the Lord of mianye city doesn’t seem so polite. If I hadn’t beaten one of his followers down, I think he was going to steal money directly from me. ”

“After paying back the money, I’ll be back.”

Ariel knew that Brad wasn’t to blame.

Not only can Brad not be blamed, it should be said that it is good that he can do these things under such circumstances.

After losing a lot of working capital, Ariel looked at the balance on the account book and felt like a knife for a time.

This feeling of being stabbed into the heart with a knife, but there was no way to cry was so painful that she even wanted to jump up and bite!

Money… Money!

Own gold coins!

For almost five years, the remaining funds in my hand are less than 100 gold coins again… What is this?

However, no matter how uncomfortable it is, now is not the time to sigh.

Ariel nodded gently and said slowly, “at least our debt is cleared. What about other aspects? If you save a little, you should still have enough money… ”

Tesla raised his hand and waited until Ariel agreed. “Then… Some of them are used to contact the magic mine village. The village head of Goust in magic mine village was very enthusiastic and directly transported a pile of magic crystals to us. But the quality of these magic crystals is not so good. Even if they are used to make magic props, they should only be made of inferior quality. But… ”

At this point, Tesla’s tone changed a little, and the corners of his eyes glanced at the back door of the guild involuntarily, then shook his head and said: “then, just a month ago, our whole factory in Pelican city was ordered to stop. In order to keep the workers from leaving immediately, we… Took some rights out of the guild’s funds as wages to keep our workers from leaving. So now, there is only a little money left on the book… ”

While listening to Tesla, Ariel looked through the books and checked them one by one. It is confirmed that the above figures have no problem with each other, and it is also confirmed that the money is really the current expenses of their guild.

After reading the account books, Ariel closed the book full of sad numbers in front of her and continued: “Tesla, are those things… Still there? Haven’t you been searched? ”

Tesla was stunned, then nodded and said, “Oh, those things? The Baron took people over and didn’t want it after a look. He said these things were pure waste. So they’re still in the back warehouse. Thanks to those magic crystals whose quality is not too high, now we have made 100 small ones and three big ones. It’s just that the situation is tense recently, so they haven’t been tested… ”

Ariel nodded and said, “just keep your things. Then, what about our Lord? What does Viscount Ritchie Wald mean in the face of this situation? ”

Su TA leaned slightly and said slowly, “Lord Viscount, after hearing that the element machine was ordered to stop, he immediately went to the capital and said he was going to ask for an explanation. Calculate the time. I should have just arrived in the capital recently. As for Viscount Norris of xiehu City, he never came again since the ban was issued, and he broke the news with our mermaid song. I once went to xiehu city in person, hoping to see Viscount Norris, but the person in charge said that the Viscount was seriously ill and inconvenient to receive visitors, so I was driven back. ”

Hearing this, Ariel nodded again. Just when she wanted to turn around and say something else, she suddenly thought of something and immediately turned back to look at Su TA: “by the way, how’s your husband’s illness? According to the swordsman’s Manual… Has his condition improved? ”

As soon as he talked about his husband, Su TA’s originally plain expression immediately became a little excited. However, she restrained her excitement, saluted Ariel slightly, smiled and said, “thank you for your concern. My husband is much better. Recently, he is no longer as completely breathless as before, just like a dead man. Now he gradually began to breathe, and sometimes his fingers and toes would move unconsciously. I believe that things will develop for the good. ”

Looking at Su TA’s happy appearance now, Ariel is a little happy in this bad situation. She nodded, and then her eyes crossed the faces of all guild members again.

She looked into the eyes of each of them and into their faces, which looked hesitant, flustered and unaware of the way ahead.

Even if some of these members are strong, but in this situation, the expression on their faces does not have the self-confidence that strong people should have.
