Chapter 599: "King of the Underground"

"However, according to Rutherin's statement, the earl did not treat the rest

of these towers harshly. Those who left were given severance pay, while those

who stayed were paid three years in accordance with the standards of the

former lord." Xia Fan continued, "This It seems that he was a military doctor

before, and now he has opened a nursing home, and he is still doing his job."

"Why do people like this look for Acie?"

"Perhaps any of Azie's relatives contracted the cold and needs a doctor to go

to the clinic for treatment?" He casually guessed, "The main customers of that

nursing home are middle-aged and elderly people, and the wealthy businessmen

of Azure Castle generally don't choose to go there to see a doctor."

Not to mention the nobles, the dragonborn, like the demon, rarely suffer from

illnesses.

Such private medical institutions often serve civilians.

"So at the moment, the most suspicious are these two people." Li looked at Xia

Fan and Qian Yan, "No matter which one of them is involved in the person in

the mirror, it makes sense."

"I have the same opinion as Qianyan." Xia Fan nodded, "Then it will be

billowing."

Li blew his whistle, and soon a heavy voice came from the roof. After a while,

he fell on the window sill, then rolled forward and jumped into the house.

"Meow--!"

Li stretched out his five fingers and grabbed it, then drew a big circle with

his tail.

The latter turned around for a few times, patted the ground rhythmically with

his forefoot, and finally stood up and made a posture with his arms bent.

Xia Fan was stunned by this set of actions, and those who didn't know might

thought that a demon and a spirit were fighting dance.

"What are you talking about?"

Li patted his rolling head and said, "I asked it how far the sphere of

influence of Azure Castle has expanded, and it replied that 80% of it has

fallen into its control, and it has collected as many as 1,000 people."

Xia Fan couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.

The new uncrowned king of the blue castle of affection has been born here?

Gungun probably felt this question, and raised his head and gave a long meow.

Immediately afterwards, the scene that made Xia Fan's scalp numb appeared-one

after another wild cats came from all directions and flooded into the house

like a tide. In just a few minutes, the room was full of cats. Some even

jumped straight on the wooden table and approached Xia Fan with their tails

erect.

The attitude towards Li Yemao was another. Those who lay down and rubbed their

feet, rolled over with their belly exposed, and Sa Huanqiu's enthusiasm for

affection was completely beyond words.

There is only a gap around Qianyan.

Those cats would rather take a detour than seem to be close to the living

dead.

The little girl opened her mouth and finally didn't say anything-although her

expression didn't change much, she could see a trace of loss in her eyes.

"Okay, OK, I believe it, let them not come to me." If Xia Fan hadn't seen it

with his own eyes, it would be hard for Xia Fan to imagine that there are so

many wild cats hidden in this building-know that they live in The third floor,

not in the basement! God knows how these animals hide themselves.

Li held back a smile and showed the portraits of the six groups of people to

Gungun one by one, and then took out the two most suspected individuals to

show it again.

The latter meowed, lifted and waved, and jumped out of the window. The other

wild cats immediately followed, rushing up the window sill like a stream, and

disappearing into the night one by one.

"It seems that bringing that guy is the right choice." Xia Fan fanned his nose

and said, "It would be better if it could not recruit the cat into the house."

After that, the smell of wild cats was already permeating the house.

"Next time I will remind it." Li chuckled slightly. "By the way, where is the

clan of the former lord? Are they still in Azure Fort?"

"Olena also asked this question." The answer was a thousand words, "but

Rutherin doesn't know this too well. I only heard that quite a few went to the

northern cities to seek refuge with distant relatives, and his wife was before

leaving. It's already a gloomy end."

"Really..." Li's smile faded, and he sighed slightly, "I see."

She walked to the window and looked up at the ink-like sky, with a complicated

expression in her eyes.

...

Clusters of torches and firewood are rarely lit in the Baiguoyuan. Although

the swaying fire is far from bright, it is enough to operate the machine.

Amid the roar of the steam piston, boxes of drunken fruit were poured into the

rolling cylinder and squeezed into a sauce, and the intoxicating aroma could

be smelled far away. The workers who have just received a salary are in high

spirits, and they are not tired of working overtime overnight. They shout one

after another. Seeing the progress that is dragged down during the day, they

are being chased back little by little.

"The result is not bad, isn't it?" Philip and Gore walked slowly around the

factory. "Even a donkey, occasionally I have to feed a handful of fried

beans."

This is true for the factory, but it may not be the same for Azie—especially

after the incident spread and every big businessman knew that Baiguoyuan gave

in to the workers.

In the end, Gore didn't say the words in his heart. "The supervisors seem to

have serious opinions about you. They are all worried about losing their jobs

and getting reprisals from the hired workers."

"Unfortunately they can't unite to strike and protest like the workers."

Philip's tone is full of sarcasm. "After all, it is the workers who maintain

production, not the supervisors. If the former can really supervise

themselves, then the latter is indeed unnecessary expenses."

"But if even they stand on the opposite side of us..."

"That is undoubtedly your responsibility, brother." Philip looked at him

squintingly. "It's fine if you can't keep a flock of sheep. You can't even

control your own dog?"

"No, I'm just assuming it." Gore changed his words quickly, "They are still

willing to follow my command."

"That's the best." Guan Shi said lightly, "If these people overestimate their

role, I don't mind replacing them all."

At this moment, a team of hired workers passed in front of them carrying boxes

full of Enchanted Fruits.

Gore frowned involuntarily and lowered his face.

The other party was exactly the group of people he expelled for stealing

fruits~www.mtlnovel.com~ and it was also the source of this protest brewing

into a strike.

Russ curled his lips, not putting Gore's cold face in his eyes at all, humming

a song and walked towards the sauce maker.

Other people have almost the same reaction.

Only after Moriel lowered his head and saluted the two of them cautiously

before catching up with everyone.

"Asshole thing--" Gore was itchy with hatred. In just one day, the hired

worker dared to turn a blind eye to him. What if it would take another ten and

a half days? "When I replace them, I must let them know what is worse than

life and death!"

"Not everyone is like this." Philip looked at Mollier's back with interest,

and ordered a few words in Gore's ear.

"Brother, are you sure?" Gollie asked a little surprised, "If Momora knows

about it, I'm afraid it will cause new disturbances."

"That's why a little means and guidance are needed." The manager touched his

beard and said, "...just do what I said, maybe there may be new gains later."
