Chapter 148: Order of Earl Hawke
Chapter 148 Count Hawke's Order
The fire in the Earl's Mansion in Satuba City has been put out, but the ruins are not available to be cleaned up at all, and they look very embarrassed.
When you see, you will see the devastation and a mess.
As the lord of Satuba City, although Earl Hawk has always looked very cunning, he is full of vitality. But today, his eyes are unrestrained.
Everything he had just experienced made him feel very uncomfortable.
Standing on the city wall, he was like a sculpture, without moving for a long time, allowing the cold wind to blow by.
"Sir, it's cold at night, please put on your coat!" At this time, his loyal guard brought a coat and prepared to criticize him.
"No, let me be alone for a while." Earl Hawke waved his hand and said without being affected by the cold weather in the desert at night.
Judging from his hoarse voice and troubled expression, he now doesn't want to be disturbed. Seeing the scene in front of him, the guards quickly retreated aside.
They knew that if the count in front of them was expressionless, it was the time when he was most angry. If he scolded you loudly, he might be in a good mood at that time. Of course, no one of the guards who knew all this would dare to come forward to touch this bad head.
"The goods in most of the warehouses, bastard!"
Earl Hawke clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was already full of anger. The loss last night was a huge disaster for such a stingy person.
This feeling is even more distressing than his only biological son who died.
Earl Hawke planned for a long time, in order to destroy the Fiery Sands and swallow the goods they robbed. Unexpectedly, he made wedding dresses for others.
For Turanto's Fire Sand Thieves, it took three years for Count Hawke to support him from the beginning to finally preparing to eliminate him. At the beginning, he hoped to use the Fire Sand Thieves to plunder his goods for him, which just shocked Tuba's Wind and Sand Thieves to avoid their family being the only one.
At the beginning, he wanted to swallow the entire group of thieves in the wind and sand, but in the end he failed. Tuba and Turando's father Tus are the leader among the sand thieves and a generation of heroes.
Even an old fox like Count Hawke did not gain any advantage in his years of confrontation with him.
Later, Earl Hawke adopted a policy of marriage and wanted to gain leadership of the thief thief group without bloodshed, but unexpectedly attracted Tuba's backlash, which made his wishful thinking fail and lost his only biological son.
Although I felt very distressed, Count Hawke was still a person who could take it and let it go. He soon walked out of the pain of losing his son, took a few more concubines, and prepared to give birth to a few more.
However, because of this incident, the situation where a sand thief group in the desert was the dominant situation was broken. The rise of the Fire Sand thief group and the Thunder Sand thief group quickly expanded his forces in the desert.
The goods and other plundered by these people were also continuously transported to Satuba City, becoming the private possession of Count Hawke himself, and creating his amazing wealth.
Later, Tuba also contacted him through relationships and promised to give him a lot of goods and wealth. At this time, his concubine had already given birth to a son. Earl Hawke did not particularly like his dead son. Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to be a sand thief.
At this time, he took Tuba's goods and forgave his past actions.
Just when he was full of confidence and prepared to unify the desert and take further action, he did not expect that Turando would not obey his orders and wipe out the thief group of wind and sand.
This private action made Count Hawke very dissatisfied and very alert. At this time, he realized that the Thunder Sand Thieves Group, which originally belonged to him, was actually suspected of being controlled by Tolando.
Since Tolando was once the fiancee of the Thunder Sand Thieves Group, she was very powerful and was a hero among the girls. There were many admirers in the entire Thunder Sand Thieves Group.
Gradually, Earl Hawke, the secret boss, didn't even speak as well as Turando.
In the eyes of Count Hawke, the first condition to be his subordinate is to be obedient. As Turandot's power continues to grow, he doesn't obey his words.
The tail is too big, and the super sand thief group with thousands of people, the Fire thief group, and his partner Thunder Sand thief group, can already vaguely fight against Satuba City.
Thinking of this, the later Earl Hawk slowly dealt with Tolando.
For him, in addition to Turando's disobedience, another important reason was that Turando's sand thieves had accumulated too much wealth.
Although the money for transporting supplies was seven or three cents, it became a sky-high number in three years. Earl Hawke didn't want to give Turandot so much money.
And if the Fire Sand Thieves Group was destroyed, he could just give an explanation to many ministers and nobles in the imperial capital who blamed him for being the same group as the Sha Sand Thieves.
"Who said that I, Earl Hawk, cover up the sand thief, and the snakes and rats are in a nest, is actually the time is not ripe and I have not started." In this way, he will not only be guilty, but will be rewarded for destroying the sand thief.
"If the pig is fattened, then slaughter it!" For Earl Hawke, the Fire Sand Thieves Group was just a pig he raised. In his opinion, killing such a fat pig was not a big problem.
Because of this, he made up a plan and arranged several masters to take Turandot's life. However, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
Unexpectedly, after this fierce battle, he not only did not kill the pig, but was injured by the pig and suffered heavy losses.
The hundreds of soldiers who lost, the lost wealth, the supplies in most of the warehouses, and the Earl's mansion that turned into ashes made him angry.
Not only that, but what made him even more angry was that the culprit had not been caught yet.
"Is there any news about Turandot?" Earl Hawke, who came to his senses, asked to his guards.
A close guard came over and said respectfully: "Report to the Count, there is no news yet. However, the subordinates have sent someone to inquire about the news carefully!"
"Barewell, what can you do? You can't even catch an injured woman. If you raise you, you're such a bunch of food!" At this time, he was furious and slapped the unlucky guard for a long distance.
The unlucky confidant vomited blood foam from his mouth, and a bloody tooth fell from it. At this time, he forced himself to endure the pain and walked over and said, "Sir, I have something to report."
"What's the matter?" Earl Hawke said with impatient expression.
The unlucky guard said respectfully: "According to our inquiries, many of the goods we lost in the warehouse were taken away by Count Dark Evans who came to the mansion yesterday."
"He took it, is the news true?" Earl Hawke said with a gloomy face when he heard the news.
Because of a tooth loss, the guard spoke a little, "Yes (hiss), my subordinates can be sure that we have found out clearly, it is true."
Another guard stepped forward and said, "Sir, someone dares to steal our goods. He is really tired of living. Why not send someone to grab them immediately."
"this……"
Earl Hawke measured the pros and cons and found that if the matter was made big, it would be of no benefit to him at all.
The identity of Marshal Zhao Feng's grandson was enough to give him a headache. If the news of Satuba City had just been attacked and spread to the imperial capital, his face would definitely be gone.
Not only that, he originally planned to frame Zhao Feng and let him be on the same front as him. But now if he forcibly snatched this batch of goods, it will not only cause disputes, but also expose the fact that these materials are stolen. Not only that, he also collected 40,000 gold coins from Zhao Feng. If there was a dispute, the other party could refuse to admit that these goods were bought by him. The goods he lost might have been stolen by the sand.
If there was a dispute over this batch of goods, he might have to bear the anger of the imperial capital. In this way, the imperial capital ministers who were very dissatisfied with him could add another charge to impeach him.
If these things are completely exposed, even if he has nine lives, he will not be enough to cut. Moreover, now his strength has been greatly weakened and he has no power to challenge the imperial capital.
"That boy, you can see it very accurately!" Earl Hawke thought for a while and found that he had no way to get back these goods, so he could only swallow this secret loss.
"I didn't expect that he was smarter than me."
When Earl Hawke thought that Zhao Feng could enter the city to pick up goods in chaos, Earl Hawke felt very headache and angry, but he was helpless.
"Forget it, don't pursue it!" Earl Hawke sighed, but he was unhappy in his heart.
His actions attracted the surprise eyes of these guards. These people did not expect that Earl Hawk, who was originally very fond of, would suffer one day.
However, Earl Hawk soon said: "You inform the Five Eagles of the Desert and the Thunder Sand Thieves Group to ambush the middle of the route of Dark Evans and strike an ambush. Tell them to grab the goods, but don't kill the Earl. Remember to do it cleanly."
"Yes, Lord Earl." After hearing Hawk's words, the guards felt that he had become normal.
After thinking about it, Earl Hawke said, "Forget it, tell them not to leave any living, do things cleanly, and do not leave any clues."
Looking at Hawke's sinister face and cold eyes, the guard was startled and nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Lord of the City, I'll go and pass the order immediately."
Seeing the guard walking away, Earl Hawke snorted coldly, showing a cruel expression and said, "If you want to swallow my goods, you have to pay the corresponding price. Marshal's grandson, so what! There are so many disasters in the desert anyway, maybe you will encounter a hurricane!"
