Chapter 944 175. Letter of Recommendation
The deputy city lord didn’t know whether to praise or scold, so he had to say: "You know what? Spencer, I have always been very optimistic about you..."
Si Spencer secretly curled his lips, these were his words to deceive others, but he still pretended to be moved.
"If you come into contact with them, let them come to me..."
Spencer pretended to be surprised: "You..."
"Shh... don't tell anyone."
"I understand."
Spencer pretended to be shocked after learning the secret, left the city lord's palace, and hurried away The Salted Fish Gang meets Francois.
“What do you think?”
Francois didn’t know the deputy city lord well, so he couldn’t tell whether he was sincerely surrendering or a temptation.
Spencer warned: "Don't take me with you if you are looking for death. That old guy is a politician through and through. He can sell you while smiling and talking to you."
Francois Thoughtfully: "He wouldn't say this to you for no reason..."
"He doubted us!" Spencer screamed regardless of his appearance.
"It's very possible."
"We need to kill him!" Spencer paced back and forth in the room, "Once he's dead, we'll be safe!"
"Or be completely exposed."
The Xianyu Gang is so conspicuous now that the nobles can notice it just by glancing outside the city.
"What should I do! Where are your reinforcements? Where are they?"
"I don't know."
"No, I can't do anything with you anymore." Francois was not surprised that Spencer behaved a little rudely. Greedy people are usually afraid of death, and collusion in Liberty City is a capital crime.
"You don't want money anymore?"
"No matter how much you make, you have to spend it with your life!"
Hearing this, Francois turned around and took out a letter from the drawer that he had written yesterday. Just prepare the letter and give it to Spencer.
"This is my letter of recommendation. Even if I'm not here, as long as you take it to Liberty City, you can directly become a Liberty City official."
Spencer looked at Franco Yisi looked at the recommendation letter again and said blankly: "Is there a habit of corrupt officials in your Free City?"
"Orcs are just wild beasts that eat anything in the wilderness, but in Free City they are the most courageous warriors."
"Damn it, you've convinced me."
Can refuse Free City? Not many people, but definitely not including Spencer.
Looking at him putting away the letter of recommendation, Francois’ tone became more intimate: “When did you see the magic image?”
“Some time ago, everything was not like this. On bad days, merchants will come with magic stones to sell them.”
"Where is your money?"
"My money is...what are you going to do!" Spencer's emotion instantly turned into vigilance.
"Now that we are our own people, the money used to buy supplies can help us more, and this is also helping you."
"Don't even think about it!"
"Didn't I give you a letter of recommendation?"
"What's your letter of recommendation, that's mine!"
There is no such person in Liberty City. Francois feels helpless. He doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to bring such a miser back to Liberty City... …
“Don’t you think a living me would be more effective than a letter of recommendation?”
Spencer counterattacked unceremoniously: “You are right, but you also deserve it. Compared to a few hundred gold coins?”
Francois finally got the money from Spencer, which was considered a loan—he signed an IOU, and Liberty City had to repay it. After going out, the first thing Francois did was to bring all Spencer's family members to Xianyu Street.
It has nothing to do with trust, but a team of soldiers belonging to the Free Blade can avoid a lot of trouble, and Spencer has no problem with that. In fact, they had been secretly contacting Spencer's people before, but the results were not good.
......
In mid-September, the temperature at night in Xing'er City has dropped to the point where you have to wear a coat over your single clothes at night.
There are a total of thirty-four streets in the southern part of the outer city of Xing'er City, and almost a quarter is the territory of the Freedom Blade. With so many people, it is difficult to keep any secrets, so the existence of the Freedom Blade is limited to the Salted Fish Gang. The people outside only thought that the nobles and city guards were showing kindness.
More and more people who can't survive come to the Xianyu Gang's territory, and the men of these people will join the Xianyu Gang, and the women and old people will spread the "benevolence" of the Xianyu Gang, attracting more people. people.
“Cough cough cough——”
On this day, Francois was walking on the street to patrol, and found that the coughing sounds that should have disappeared have gradually increased recently.
Is it because it’s getting colder?
With inexplicable worries, Francois came to Lame Babu's hospital, which was crowded with people outside.
Lame Babu and Little Small were treating patients, but because they had the same disease, they often asked a few questions before giving them a dose of herbal medicine.
“What happened?”
“A group of refugees escaped from the border, and they brought the plague with them. Now the plague has broken out in several nearby towns...” Lame Babu sighed.
"I see..."
Francois left Salty Fish Street and went to the City Guards to find Spencer.
Spencer had never been in such a good mood, and it could even be traced back to his childhood when he lost three copper coins on the street - after all, not only did he escape from the crumbling ship of the Kingdom of Ruikan, he also had a job.
When the cronies informed Francois that he was coming, Spencer wanted to give him a hug from a friend.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Francois asked directly.
“Tell you what?”
“Refugees with plague.”
"Oh, you said this...don't worry, the plague will be eliminated soon."
Francois didn't know where Spencer's confidence came from: "You don't understand the plague... ”
“You don’t understand the kingdom”
Francois had to suppress his eagerness and let the streets under his jurisdiction pay attention to outsiders and people who come into contact with outsiders.
As a result, later on, Francois heard that the refugees infected with the epidemic were "purified" by the mage group in the inner city.
Before Francois could be shocked, Spencer sent someone to say that his men had captured a man from Liberty City and asked him to confirm it.
"How did you catch him?"
Francois suspected that it was faked by the Kingdom of Rekaner to lure him out.
Spencer shrugged: "They said they were going to Noan Port. My people asked them where Noan Port was, and he said it was in Laisham. Ordinary people don't have much culture. When asked, they only know Answer the new royal capital."
Francois wondered who the unlucky guy was, could it be Elder?
He followed him to the dungeon and saw the man from Liberty City who had been exposed, and he was a familiar face - Francois had seen him in the foreign aid corps.
"You..." The soldier pretending to be a refugee recognized Francois and hesitated.
"He is Spencer, one of our own." Francois said, "Did you come here on your own or..."
Spencer opened the cell door, and the young The soldier said: "I came here with my companions. The city lord's palace decided to speed up the offensive and sent us to disperse and infiltrate into the Ruikaner Kingdom. I heard about the Salted Fish Gang when I got here, and I guessed it was you, but I didn't have time to find it. You were caught by them."
"What's the situation outside?"
"The Kingdom of Ruikaner dared not take action. It could only accuse us and make noises about taking magic images."
