There are not many City Guards, just a small team of close to 300 people. The total number of City Guards in this imperial city is 4,500, and they are responsible for the outer city. There are also 3,000 Royal Guards in the inner city, which are
The troops stationed in the imperial city.
And of course there are troops outside the city who can be mobilized at any time.
In comparison, these 300 people are indeed not many, but not many.
The leader of this team is the Duman whom Coxsacki sent to inform him before. He is one of the captains of the city guard and is considered the number one figure in the imperial city. There are only about ten captains like him in total.
He was a captain with real power, and he had three hundred people under his command.
Being able to be in charge of the guards in the imperial city clearly shows that Duman's identity is not ordinary. He actually went to the battlefield and retired after performing meritorious service.
Faced with the situation in front of him, Duman did not directly step forward to say hello to Lucy Kossage and others. He directly asked his men to block both ends of the street and set up an array. He didn't know what these businessmen were doing now.
Something, but if you think these few hundred soldiers can do anything in the imperial city, then you are looking down on him.
Even if the caravan guards all wear decent armor, after all, they have money and can equip themselves with all the equipment. But when it comes to fighting, the combat effectiveness of this group of people is completely incomparable to that of the regular army.
difference.
Although Duman only brought 300 people, the number was still less than the two opposing sides combined. But if there was a real fight, Duman was very confident that he would be able to defeat them all, even without injuring a few of them himself.
As he is now blocked at both ends, there is no way for him to make waves on the other side.
He is not blindly confident. In fact, the two ends of the blockade have just been blocked. The caravan guards who were surrounded inside have begun to panic when facing this majestic guard team. Many guards even saw that his legs were shaking.
I'm trembling. With these soldiers, do you still expect them to achieve anything?
Duman understands very well that if the opponent is like this, they will collapse immediately after a fight, which is their unilateral harvest.
After doing this, Duman rode forward with confidence, because the situation was under control and would not get more serious no matter what.
"Coxsacki, what are you doing?" Duman's tone was very unkind, and he was also annoyed by this matter. Although Coxsackie was usually very respectful to him, the problem was that he looked down on these businessmen from the bottom of his heart.
Duman felt that the money he received was at best to prevent his subordinates from causing trouble to Coxsackie, that's all. But now Coxsackie didn't know what trouble he had caused, and he actually wanted to settle it with himself.
Who gave him the courage?
However, this matter was indeed within the scope of his responsibilities, so he brought people here. However, he had no intention of supporting Coxsackie. He even felt that this guy had to hammer and knock, otherwise he would be sick sooner or later if he climbed up the pole.
Own.
"Sir, I don't know what happened. You also saw that this is my home. The Qiwan Chamber of Commerce across the street led so many people to surround my home. I also want to know what they want to do." Coxsacki was very worried.
Said innocently.
In fact, Duman knew who was on the other side. The person who sent the letter before also said that he was from the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce, so he brought 300 people. Otherwise, what if it was someone else, such as a spy from another country, or something like that?
As for the Assassin's Guild or something like that, he must have informed the other captains to come with him, and he couldn't just bring this few people with him.
But he couldn't reveal his private connection with Coxsackie, otherwise he would be attacked. Fortunately, Coxsackie stepped forward, knew how to answer, and immediately explained the situation.
"Qiwan Chamber of Commerce?" Duman looked to the other side, "Where is the president of Qiwan Chamber of Commerce? By the way, the previous one seems to be dead, right? Who is the president now? Come out and answer."
Duman knew about Fidelman's poisoning, because the city guard was also helping to investigate the matter. Isn't this also a murder that occurred within his jurisdiction? However, he did not pay too much attention to it. He was not responsible for the investigation.
It's just assistance. As for who has passed the chairmanship of the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce, of course he doesn't know.
"My concubine, Lucy Fidelman, is currently the president of the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce." Lucy here took a step forward, which surprised Duman. He did not expect that the president of the Qiwan Chamber of Commerce was a woman.
"Oh, you are very brave, you dare to cause trouble in my jurisdiction." But Duman quickly recovered and said fiercely, "You'd better give me a perfect explanation, otherwise, I won't
I will be polite to you because you are a woman. The cells in our city guardhouse do not recognize men and women."
"My lord, I am here for official business." Lucy said calmly without showing any timid expression.
"Official business? You are a businessman, how can you get such official business?" Duman laughed directly, "What's the matter? Did His Majesty send you an imperial edict?"
"There is no imperial edict, but the prime minister just gave me a letter of appointment." Lucy said, taking a few steps forward, and then holding out a scroll with both hands.
Duman was stunned for a moment, and the other party actually answered his casual sentence. He frowned, and suddenly realized that things seemed not as simple as he thought.
Stepping forward to take the thing from the other party's hand, Duman took a look and saw that it was indeed an official document. The content was very simple, which was to appoint Lucy as the vice president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce. There was actually a lot of content in the official document, but that was what it meant over and over again.
, the others did not disclose any information at all.
As mentioned before, the vice-president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce is not an official position, so the appointment actually does not go through Linton's hands at all. Prime Minister Tyrard only needs to approve it, and it is just an ordinary official document.
But Tyrad just casually took care of a group of people, and the people below didn't dare to deal with them casually.
Duman sweated when he looked at the appointment letter.
On the one hand, this official document is indeed stamped with the seal of the Prime Minister's Office in the end. This is of course true. Who in the imperial city dares to secretly create a fake prime minister's seal? Your whole family won't want it, right?
And the second point, and the more important point, is what is the name of the chamber of commerce that Lucy was appointed to? The Royal Chamber of Commerce.
Duman didn't know anything about the Royal Chamber of Commerce and had never heard of it, but something with the word "royal" in it was destined to be complicated.
Duman didn't know how valuable the vice-president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce was, but he didn't dare to care about it now. Of course he wasn't afraid of Lucy in front of him. What he was afraid of was ruining things for the Prime Minister, and even more so.
His Majesty's business.
"Then the official business you are talking about is..." Duman's attitude obviously changed this time, and he really couldn't stand it anymore.
"I brought people here this time mainly because I suspected that President Coxsacki was using illegal means to interfere with the affairs of our Royal Chamber of Commerce. I wanted to ask him to go back and inquire about the situation, but your Excellency also saw that this guy was still
Prepare to resist. Now that your Excellency is here, please do me a favor so that I can complete my mission as soon as possible and communicate with the Prime Minister." Lucy said with a smile.
