The three of them were chatting in the study, talking about the upcoming situation, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye. At this time, a soldier came in and reported: "The city lord, military advisor, officials and businessmen have all arrived in the hall, and everyone is ready."
Nibru said: "Commander, let's go."
"good!"
Wang Can stood up, waited for Nibulu to walk in front, and walked hand in hand with Haji towards the hall.
Entering the hall, Wang Can glanced around and saw more than 20 people standing in the hall, and also saw boxes after boxes placed in the hall, which were all collected evidence of crime.
"Everyone, please take a seat!"
Nibulu glanced at everyone and gave an order.
Everyone thanked him and took their seats.
It's just that everyone is a little uneasy in their hearts, because these people all have evil intentions in their hearts, and they all intend to seek refuge with the people in Rhodes City, preparing to find a way out for themselves. Now that they were called here alone, they were all a little worried. After all, Nibru
Defeated the army of Rhodes City and captured the general Gandila of Rhodes City alive.
Nibulu looked at Wang Can and said, "Commander, you handle it."
"yes!"
Wang Can nodded in agreement.
He glanced at the people in the lobby. At this moment, Wang Can's eyes were sharper than ever before, which actually put great pressure on people and made the people sitting in the hall even more worried.
Wang Can said: "You must be wondering why you are called here, right?"
"Yes, please clear up the doubts from Military Advisor Wang."
In the crowd, an official spoke.
The others all agreed.
The corner of Wang Can's mouth raised, a smile appeared, but this smile reflected murderous intent in everyone's eyes, making people shudder. Wang Can's hand was placed on the desk in front of him. He did not speak in a hurry, but instead used his right hand to
His index finger tapped lightly on the desk.
"Boom! Boom!"
A small voice sounded in the hall.
The hall was silent at this moment, and the sound of tapping on the table seemed very abrupt, as if it was tapping on the hearts of officials and powerful businessmen, making them even more worried, for fear of being liquidated.
This scene also fell in Nibru's eyes.
Nibru narrowed his eyes, but there was a look of admiration in his eyes. It must be said that Wang Can's handling was even more heart-pounding. He didn't do anything wrong, so he was naturally carefree, but these officials and wealthy businessmen did something wrong.
Under Wang Can's tactics, he must be under great pressure. This is mental pressure.
Wang Can's skills are indeed stronger than his.
This is Nibru's inner thought.
After a while, Wang Can stopped and said, "I called you here because I got some information, which is in the box. Come on, one of you will open the box and take a look at the information inside."
After Wang Can spoke, he looked at everyone.
However, no one stood up.
Wang Can said: "Why, you are usually so bold that you can even betray the city of Maiti. Why are you so shy today and look so shy that you don't dare to get up? Since you don't want to
Stand up and I will call your name."
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder rising from the ground.
Everyone became worried.
Sure enough, it was related to the person who contacted Rhodes City.
Wang Can remembered the names on the previous parchment and said: "Among you, there is one named Badur. Please stand up, then open the box and take a look at the contents inside."
Badur was an official from Maiti City. He was a bit bloated and looked like he was full of fat. When he heard Wang Can's order, he didn't dare to delay. He stood up immediately, walked carefully to the box, and opened it.
Then he took out the parchment inside.
When he saw the records on a roll of parchment, his expression suddenly changed.
After reading one volume, Badur picked up another volume. He read the contents of several volumes in succession. After putting it down, his whole body was already trembling a little, his face looked green and white, and he felt uneasy.
"Kick! Kick!"
Badur was unsteady on his feet and retreated continuously.
After taking two steps back, his center of gravity became unstable and he fell to the ground. He could no longer stabilize his body. At this moment, Badur had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was extremely panicked.
This scene made the others even more curious.
What happened?
Everyone was very curious, and then took the opportunity to support Badur and asked in a low voice. Badur did not hide anything, and immediately said: "The letters are all letters to Gandila, or to...
Letters from Lodz. Letters from all of us are in there.”
"boom!!"
When everyone heard it, it was like hearing thunder.
Everyone was confused.
They never thought that the letters they sent to Rhodes City or the letters to Gandila would all fall into the hands of Nibru. They did not expect that these letters were under Nibru's command.
It was intercepted by others, but it was thought that Gandila had been arrested, so the letter fell into Nibru's hands.
Everyone was uneasy and talked a lot.
When Wang Can saw this, he was even more confident. He scolded: "Be quiet!"
Everyone became quiet after hearing this.
Although these people were in a panic, they were not ordinary people. They were all extremely shrewd people. After hearing Wang Can's words and seeing Nibru not ordering their arrest, I knew that things could turn around, otherwise Nibru would have directly ordered the killings.
Already.
Wang Can said: "The city of Maiti is under war. As officials and citizens of Maiti City, you were born and raised here, but you colluded with outsiders and attempted to seize Maiti City. You should be punished for your crime."
"However, you are all from the city of Maiti."
"Killing you will not help."
"So I have decided that each of you will give food and money as a ransom to redeem your sins this time. The officials involved in the case will each hand over one thousand gold coins and ten thousand catties of food. The remaining people will each hand over ten thousand gold coins and ten thousand kilograms of food."
Thousands of catties of grain. So, the sin has been revealed this time, what do you think?"
There was a cold light in Wang Can's eyes, and he had a strong murderous aura, and he had the intention of killing someone if they disagreed.
An official said: "Military advisor, I don't have that much money, nor that much food."
Wang Can said: "If not, then take your life to compensate. Those who cannot pay the money and food do not have to leave. They will be punished for treason and be executed directly. Then the people of Maiti City will be informed as a warning."
brush!
The official who spoke suddenly changed his expression.
The official immediately stepped back, not daring to speak again.
The rest of the people said no more.
Wang Can asked: "What do you think?"
"we agree!"
Everyone spoke one after another, not daring to violate anything. If they did not give out money and food, they would be killed. In order to save their lives, they had no choice but to agree, without any room for resistance.
Wang Can heard this and smiled softly.
Wang Can thinks that the disposal of all wealthy businessmen and officials is not a big problem. Whether they are officials or wealthy businessmen, it is not a problem if these people have to spend a certain amount of money and food. And the City Lord's Mansion has this group
With money and food, you can recruit soldiers on a large scale and quickly improve your strength to cope with the coming war.
When Nibru saw this, he was immediately shocked.
He never thought that Wang Can would adopt such a method, which was beyond his expectation. In fact, even if he were to handle it, it would be impossible to actually kill the officials and wealthy businessmen involved, because it would easily cause turmoil.
Now according to Wang Can's method, it is the best result.
Wang Can turned his eyes and saw officials and wealthy businessmen all staring at the box and said with a smile: "Come here, bring a torch."
"yes!"
The soldiers outside the hall were ordered to prepare immediately.
After a while, the soldiers brought a torch. Wang Can stood up, took it, and threw the torch directly into the box, igniting the parchment. The fire crackled and burned, and the parchment quickly turned to ashes, and all the correspondence evidence was destroyed.
.
The wealthy businessmen and officials were relieved when they saw this.
Wang Can said: "I believe you, so I burned these evidences. As long as you pay the money and food, the matter will end here, and you will not be held responsible again. Of course, you can also think that there is no evidence now and you can refuse.
No payment. I am really looking forward to this situation, which makes people a little excited."
Wang Can spoke with great confidence.
In that touch of confidence, there was a bloodthirsty light, which made everyone present shudder. In front of them, Wang Can turned his hands into clouds and rain, and the breaking was extremely powerful.
Everyone felt fear in their hearts and did not dare to disobey, saying: "Don't worry, military advisor, we will raise food and money after we return."
"Three days, I only give you three days."
Wang Can raised his finger and said coldly: "If you can't pay the money and food in three days, then what awaits you is the butcher's knife raised. Now, you can go and prepare."
"yes!"
Badur and the other officials got up and walked out one after another.
But when they were walking, they still had worries and fears in their eyes. In fact, it was Wang Can's posture that made them all feel inexplicably afraid. In fact, Wang Can did not wipe their necks with a knife, nor did he use a knife to wipe their necks.
The knife was aimed at their hearts, but Wang Can's skill was frightening.
When everyone was about to reach the gate, Wang Can suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped.
Everyone turned around in unison and looked at Wang Can, their backs slightly hunched, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
Wang Can said: "In the next three days, Maiti City will be closed, and only entry and exit are allowed. Okay, everyone, let's go."
When everyone heard this, they were even more horrified.
Wang Can even cut off their escape route. Even if they rebelled and wanted to run away, the city gate was tightly closed and they could not leave Maiti City. This meant that they were the fish and meat on Wang Can's chopping board and could only be slaughtered by Wang Can.
They can only pay money and food honestly.
After everyone left, only Nibru, Wang Can and Haji were left in the hall.
Nibru said with emotion: "The tactics of the military advisor are really extraordinary. After a lot of beatings and operations, they not only frightened these officials and businessmen, but also raised the next food and money. In fact, the powerful businessmen in the city are extremely rich.
, there is food, but I can’t do anything about it, so the government is not strong. Now the military advisor’s actions have greatly weakened them.”
Haji said: "I am convinced of your wise brother's methods."
Wang Can said: "City Lord, Brother Haji, you are ridiculous. Dealing with these merchants and officials is just a small trick, not surprising. Next, the City Lord is ready to receive food and money."
Nibru nodded in agreement.
He was very excited at this moment. During his tenure as city lord, he had never received millions of catties of grain. (To be continued)
