Chapter 943 174. Cooperation
Francois accumulated a huge fortune by assassinating Spencer's political opponents, and took the opportunity to expand to five streets in the outer city. Then the problem is, a city guard who is greedy enough to cooperate with the people of Free City actually allows him to search for wealth without doing anything...
Francois realizes that it is likely to be his turn next Take the initiative to come to the city guard station.
"Tell Spencer that Orme just wanted to see him."
The doorman informed and quickly brought Francois to the office.
The flame in the fireplace was burning red. Spencer sat lazily in the chair and spread his hands: "Look who is here! There is nothing left for you to do, but you are welcome to send money."
"It's true, this is the 'ransom' for the next ten days..." Francois saluted first, then released the money box in the magic ring, and opened the lid.
Spencer's eyes fell into the money box and he could hardly pull it out.
“Five days.” he said.
“What do you mean?”
"It's getting colder, and it will take more effort to cover you up."
"When it gets cold, aren't the nobles in the city less willing to go out?"
"But I The city guards have to run around hard in the cold wind."
Francois was unmoved: "The money will not be distributed to them, will it?"
< br>Spencer gradually lost his patience and said with a threat: "Do you know how troublesome it is to help you cover it up? If it is still the original price, I don't guarantee that this matter will be known to others."
"Why, hasn't our cooperation always gone smoothly?" Francois pretended to be anxious.
"Have you not seen how much things outside have risen? Huh? Hurry up, everything will become more and more expensive in the future." For the sake of 500 gold coins, Spencer even took the initiative to release As long as Francois left quickly, he would not cause trouble for him.
Francois left without saying anything. In the next five days, the Freedom Blade, which owned five streets, relied on the city guards' ignorance and began to expand crazily.
"Come to the Xianyu Gang, you will have meat and bread." This simple slogan brought countless civilians who could not survive to seek refuge, and even the first professional.
All the questions about the Xianyu Gang that were sent to the city guards disappeared and were blocked by the city guards.
On the sixth day, Francois came to Spencer's office again and handed over the five hundred gold coins he had collected these days.
“Two and a half days.”
The time was shortened by half again.
Francois shook his head: "This is the last payment, I have no money."
"Then get out of my territory before the time is up."
"Can't be accommodating?"
"No."
Francois stopped wasting time and said straight to the point: "Spencer, you don't want your collusion with Liberty City to be exposed, do you? ..."
Spencer sat upright instantly and stared at him sharply.
"Don't look at me like that." Francois's mood did not fluctuate at all. "I know what you are thinking, but if I were you, I would never take action against a Free City person..."< br>
"How dare you use my words against me!" Spencer roared.
This sentence is very familiar. Francois just smiled and said nothing.
Spencer continued to be incompetent and furious: "I originally wanted to let you develop, then lead the troops to break in, catch you, and hand you over to the Lord of the City to rise to the top, but you ruined everything!"< br>
“What’s the point of being a first mate on a ship that’s going to sink at any time?”
“What do you want, treat me the same as I treat you?”
Francois chuckled and said: "I checked, Spencer, you are an interesting person. Greedy, ambitious, and stingy, but 'coincidentally', you have never taken action against civilians."
Spencer curled his lips: "The poor have no money, so I won't do such stupid things."
"People in Liberty City don't care about their actions, but in any case, you are not hopelessly bad." , So you want to cooperate?”
“Cooperate, me?” Spencer pointed at himself in astonishment. "Why not? We help you make money and you help us cover it up."
Spencer didn't expect Liberty City to be so easy to talk to, and couldn't even believe it: "You actually want to pay?"
"Money has no meaning to us, it is just a tool to achieve our goals."
Spencer gritted his teeth fiercely and said: "I hate you rich people the most!"
"So you agreed?"
"For Kinnaar's sake! ”
Francois could tell that Spencer didn't mean what he said, but it didn't matter, they were grasshoppers on a rope now. He was unlucky, and he could not absolve himself of the responsibility,
Knock, knock, knock—
There was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter!" Spencer said impatiently.
"Sir, the deputy city lord asked you to report on your duties"
"Got it!"
Francois looked away: "Then I'll go back first, don't let me down, Liberty City is watching you."
Spencer looked at Frank Lancois went out and extended his palm to his cronies standing outside.
The cronies trotted in knowingly, picked up Spencer's pipe, lit it by the fireplace and handed it over.
……
The inner city of Xing'er City, the city lord's mansion.
Spencer, who had changed into a neat uniform, stood in front of the deputy city lord's desk.
"Spencer, many rich people have died in the outer city recently. Do you have any clues?"
Spencer puffed up his chest: "Lord City Lord, some of them are not alive. The mob that went down broke into their home and were quickly caught! Please don't worry, I promise not to let them affect the big shots in the inner city!"
The deputy city leader snorted: "What are you getting? Guaranteed? ”
Spencer chuckled and came to the table with a dog-legged look: "Mr. City Lord, I found some collections in their home. I picked some that you will definitely like, and they are on the carriage outside."
"You did a good job, but be careful not to kill more people." The deputy city lord showed a satisfied smile, and then straightened his face, "An order came from the new royal capital, and the spies from Liberty City are in the kingdom. Make trouble everywhere, bribe and assassinate officials. If you catch them, find a way to bring them back immediately."
Spencer stood up straight and shouted loyally: "For the kingdom!"
< br>……
“Very good, very energetic!”
Dahl stood on Xianyu Street and shouted.
After half a month of development, the number of Xianyu Gang has exceeded 1,000, becoming the number one gang in Xing'er City.
Although the Salted Fish Gang is just a skin covered by the Blade of Freedom.
With the expansion, the reputation of "Freedom Blade" has quietly spread in Xing'er City. Francois and Spencer's cooperation deepened and they also reached out to the city guard.
However, the movement gradually became unstoppable and attracted the attention of the city lord's palace.
Spencer was called to the city lord's mansion again, and the deputy city lord asked him what was going on with the Salted Fish Gang.
"Food is getting more and more expensive, and the untouchables can't survive, so they join gangs... City Lord, do you need to destroy them?" Spencer asked tentatively.
The deputy city lord stared at him and suddenly said: "Have you been in contact with people from Liberty City?"
Spencer defended loudly: "How could I be one of their people? I I am completely different from them. I have never had any faith or ideals in my life!”
