"This guy Tu Zi..." Tan Mo hit a soft nail on Tu Zi. Thinking about it afterwards, he gritted his teeth with hatred.
If the paint was from another background, Tanmo would still have room for other operations. But the paint came from the Blood Light Sanctioning Institute, which was too scary, and Tanmo felt like his hands were tied.
As for the point that "Huntong did not harvest the spoils of war and made a lot of money from the war", Tanmo actually had some guesses.
It's just that he is more willing to believe in the conjecture that Hutong has made a fortune.
"Even if he is short on money and has three pounds of nails on a rotten ship, I don't believe he can't extort more money from him!"
"If I miss such an opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"How can I blackmail you?"
Tanmo began to think hard.
If the paint can cooperate with him, then he can easily control the hazy pupils.
But if the paint doesn't cooperate, it will be difficult.
Although Tan Mo is an investigator of the imperial secret agent, he also secretly shoulders certain expectations of the Seventh Prince. But the current situation is that investigators from the Blood Light Sanctions Institute are also involved. The two sides are jointly investigating, whether it is the Blood Light Sanctions Institute or the
Even the secret agents of the empire would not believe his words.
If you directly slander and create perjury, it will be pure chaos, Tanmo will be asking for trouble, and it will be a crisis for the career of a rear admiral.
"What should we do?" While Tanmo kept thinking, Huantong also felt the pressure.
Huntong found the strange thing in his eyes and complained to him: "Tanmo will never give up like this, Shadow."
Hutong is already old and has rich experience, so he naturally knows that the bribe he gave Tan Mo will not satisfy Tan Mo.
Hutong has long since lost his youthful vigor, otherwise, he would not have joined forces with Shadow in the first place, and has been holding back, sacrificing individual merchant ships, and gradually luring the murloc tribe to attack the island.
This time Huntong took the initiative to find the strange eyes, just to seek help.
Yan Yi spread his hands: "Lord Hutong, please forgive me for being unable to do anything. I gave almost all my property as bribes to Tanmo, just asking him to be noble this time."
Yanyi expressed his rejection tactfully.
This made Huantong feel dissatisfied.
He suppressed his anger and stared into his strange eyes: "I know how much money you gave Tan Mo!"
"To a certain extent, you have raised his expectations, so Tanmo is even more dissatisfied with my gift to him."
"You should understand this."
Yan Wei shook his head and sighed: "Sir, I'm really scared."
"I'm different from you!"
"You are a high-ranking gold-level lord, the powerful lord of Eye Island, and your status is unshakable."
"and I?"
"I'm just a Bronze-level person. To be the responsible leader of this sea area is already like walking on thin ice."
"Something went wrong this time. As a secret spy investigator, it's hard for Tan Mo to do anything to you. But if he has any ill intentions towards me, he will report it to the top of the organization and I will be completely finished!"
"You said, in this case, what should I do if I don't go all out?"
"If in the future I am dismissed from my position or even imprisoned because I fail to satisfy Tan Mo, I will definitely regret it to death!"
Yan Wei's almost crying words made Huntong's expression soften a lot.
Yanyi continued: "On the contrary, if I satisfy Tan Mo this time, he will give me a good review."
"Maybe my current position will be much more consolidated, and I might even be able to move up a level in the future."
Speaking of this, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of yearning.
Huantong secretly scoffed, thinking: You are only at the bronze level, but you still want to go to the next level? What are you thinking about? Do you have any self-awareness?
Huntong has calmed down and thought: He can't force Yan Yi too much. After all, Yan Yi and Tan Mo are members of the same organization.
But he is really short of money.
There is really no way.
Huntong looked at Yanyi fiercely and lowered his voice: "I am in this situation now. Why did I listen to you and let the necromancer go?"
"You promised me that you would be able to kill the Necromancer."
"The results of it?"
"If Tan Mo wants to attack me, letting the Necromancer go is the best excuse!"
"Shouldn't you be responsible for your wrong command?"
Yan Yi said hurriedly: "Master Hutong, you can't talk nonsense."
"I am no longer the one responsible for the follow-up actions of the Necromancer."
"How did I know that the new person in charge would do this?"
"Besides, war is fierce and dangerous, and anything can happen on the battlefield. A small accident can even affect the final outcome."
"About this point, my lord, you know best and have the deepest experience."
"The main reason why you are under investigation is not only the necromancer, but also the devil's gold coins."
Huntong snorted coldly and interrupted him: "The problem now is that Tanmo will not let me go."
"We are one. He will not let me go. How can he let you go?"
"If he wants to make things difficult for me, he will definitely manipulate the final investigation report. Since he will give a low evaluation, how can you escape?"
Yan Yi was dejected, raised his hands, gave up resistance and said: "Master Hutong, what kind of help do you need from me? I will do my best."
Huntong shook his head: "It's not me, it's us who get through the difficulties together."
"The problem now is probably not the lubricant."
"You and I have shared the information about the agent. This person is upright. The real problem lies in Tanmo."
"Hmph, this guy is greedy and will never satisfy the money I gave him."
"He will not give up. He will definitely make a big fuss out of the investigation results!"
Eyes widened: "Then what else can we do?"
"Lord, he is an investigator. He has a mana ship and a sanctuary-level shield guard on board."
"If we bump into his hands, let's consider ourselves unlucky and forget about losing money and eliminating disaster."
Huntong also stared: "What do you think I want to do?"
"Kill Tanmo?"
"How can it be!"
"Tanmo himself is at the gold level and can become a rear admiral. Do you think he can't fight?"
"Even if Tanmo can be dealt with, even if there are no sanctuary-level shield guards, there is still paint. He is a member of the Blood Light Sanctioning Institute!"
"This is a joint investigation. We have no other option but to bow our heads."
"Brother with strange eyesight, you are really brave!"
Yan Yi was frightened and waved his hands quickly: "Lord, please don't talk nonsense. I don't have any dangerous ideas."
"I am a member of the Imperial Secret Service and the regional leader. I am loyal to the Empire!"
"Okay." Hutong waved his hand and said tiredly, "Money, I need money now."
"I plan to raise a sum of funds and give it to Huntong."
"I'll lend it to you this time."
Yan Yi had a bitter look on his face: "Lord, in order to cope with this difficulty, I have used all my wealth as bribes."
"Where can I get the money for you?"
Huntong's face suddenly darkened: "Stop saying such nonsense."
"We are fighting side by side now, you must at least give us this number!"
As he spoke, Huantong stretched out his right hand with his fingers spread wide.
Staring, he couldn't sit still anymore and stood up directly: "Lord, even if you kill me now, I can't get so much!"
"This is simply impossible."
Huantong sneered, deciding that there must be something secret about the strange eyesight.
Yan Wei did not hesitate and retorted wildly.
The two struggled for a while, but their eyes could not withstand the pressure of Hutong. Then they bowed their heads and agreed, willing to "lend" Hutong 1,600 gold coins.
This is a long way from Huantong's original asking price.
But Yan Yi took the initiative to ask Ying and was willing to be a middleman to help Hutong and Tanmo conduct friendly negotiations.
Considering Yan Wei's identity as a secret spy, Huantong didn't want to force him too much.
Seeing Yan Wei's expression, Hutong also felt that Yan Wei couldn't squeeze out more money, so he nodded in agreement with reluctance.
"Only 1,600 gold coins can't solve the problem."
"We have to think of other ways."
However, Yan Wei's attitude still satisfied Huantong.
Sometimes, Hutong is also very lucky: the person in charge of the imperial secret agent assigned to the Double Eye Island has only a bronze level cultivation level. This allows him to always have the absolute initiative in cooperation!
If Yan Yi was at the gold level, no, even if it was at the silver level, Hutong would never be able to control and threaten him so easily.
There are always more solutions than difficulties.
Huantong thought of a new way.
He found another group of people.
After some casual exchanges, Huantong revealed his true intention: to borrow money!
"Bishop Neibo, if you want to open a justice sect's diocese on Double Eye Island, now is actually the best opportunity." Hutong said.
"You should know about the treasure chest number at the dock and this joint investigation."
"I have no problem myself, but to survive this investigation, I need some help from the Justice Sect..."
"As the bishop of the Righteous Sect, you personally came to open a diocese. I don't believe you don't have start-up funds."
Huantong then directly asked for 50,000 gold coins. The lion opened his mouth so loudly that the spectators suddenly felt unhappy.
Neidan was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. He thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "We can't get 50,000 gold coins."
"This is too much."
"If we come to open a new parish, we can't bring so many gold coins."
"But we do know a little bit about your lord's current situation."
"We are also willing to help the lord overcome this difficulty. However, the maximum number of gold coins can be borrowed is 20,000."
"And we need priority for missionary rights, the right to build churches anywhere, and a reserved parish."
The priority of preaching is obviously used to deal with the Wealth Sect.
Building a church anywhere is a powerful offensive weapon.
The most important thing is to retain the rights of the parish. In this area, only the Righteous Sect is allowed to believe.
Huantong opened his mouth to the lion, and the lion responded in kind.
But that’s how negotiations are, as the saying goes, you’ll have to ask for a price and pay back when you get it.
I am not afraid that you will offer a high price, but I am afraid that you will not have the sincerity to negotiate.
