I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3382 Taking advantage of the situation

There weren't many city guards, just a small team of about 300 people. The total number of city guards in the imperial city was 4500, and they were responsible for the outer city. There were also 3000 royal guards in the inner city, which were the permanent troops in the imperial city.

Of course there are troops outside the city who can be deployed at any time.

In comparison, these 300 people are indeed not a lot, but they are not a small number either.

The leader of this team is Duman, whom Cossack had sent someone to notify before. He is one of the captains of the city guard and is considered a top figure in the imperial city. There are only a dozen or so captains like him, and they are powerful captains with three hundred men under them.

Being in charge of the imperial guards, Duman was obviously not an ordinary person. He had actually been to the battlefield and retired after having made great contributions.

Facing the situation, Duman did not directly go up to Lucy Cossack and the others to say hello, but directly ordered his men to block both ends of the street and line up. He didn't know what these businessmen were doing, but if you think that these hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers can cause any trouble in the imperial city, then you are looking down on them.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the armor worn by the caravan guards is decent, after all, they are rich and can afford all the equipment. But when it comes to a real fight, the combat effectiveness of these people is completely incomparable to that of the regular army, the difference is like heaven and earth.

Although Duman only brought 300 people, which was less than the combined number of the two opposing sides, Duman was very confident that he could defeat all of them, even without injuring any of them.

He is now blocking both ends, and the other side can't make any waves at all.

He was not blindly confident. In fact, the guards of the caravan had just been blocked at both ends and were already panicking in the face of this majestic guard team. Many guards even saw his legs trembling. With just this bunch of miscellaneous soldiers, do you still expect them to achieve any results?

Duman understood it very well. If the enemy was like this, they would collapse immediately once the fight started, and they would be the ones to be reaped unilaterally.

After doing all this, Duman rode forward with confidence, because the situation had been controlled and would not develop any further seriously no matter what.

"Koxak, what are you doing?" Duman's tone was very unfriendly, and he was also annoyed by this matter. Although Coxak usually treated him with great respect, the problem was that he looked down on these businessmen from the bottom of his heart.

Duman thought that he had received the money, and at most he would not let his men cause trouble for Coxsackie, that was all. But now Coxsackie didn't know what trouble he had caused, and he actually wanted to find him to settle it. Who gave him the courage?

But this matter was indeed within his scope of responsibility, so he brought people here. But he had no intention of supporting Coxsackie, and even felt that this guy needed to be beaten, otherwise he would climb up the pole and disgust him sooner or later.

"Sir, I don't know what happened. You can see, this is my house. The Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce across the street brought so many people and surrounded my house. I also want to know what they want to do." Cossack said very innocently.

Duman actually knew who was on the other side. The messenger had said that they were from the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce, so he brought 300 people with him. Otherwise, if it was someone else, such as spies from other countries, or some assassin guild, he would definitely notify other captains to come together, and he couldn't just bring these few people.

But he couldn't reveal that he had a private relationship with Coxsackie, because that would be a target of attack. Fortunately, Coxsackie was very sensible and knew how to answer, so he immediately explained the situation.

"Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce?" Duman looked to the other side. "Where is the president of Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce? Oh, the previous one seems to be dead, right? Who is the current president? Come out and answer the questions." Duman knew about Feldman's poisoning because the city guards were also helping to investigate the matter. Wasn't this also a murder case under his jurisdiction? But he didn't pay much attention to it. He was not responsible for investigating the case, he was just assisting. As for who was the current president of Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce, he certainly didn't know.

"My name is Lucy Feldman, the current president of the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce." Lucy took a step forward, which surprised Duman. He didn't expect that the president of the Qi Wan Chamber of Commerce was a woman.

"Oh, you are really brave. You dare to cause trouble in my jurisdiction." However, Duman quickly came to his senses and said fiercely, "You'd better give me a perfect explanation, otherwise, I will not be polite to you just because you are a woman. The cells of our city guard station do not recognize men and women."

"Sir, I am here on official business." Lucy said calmly without showing any fear.

"Official business? You're a businessman, how can you have any official business?" Duman laughed. "Why? Did His Majesty send you an imperial decree?"

"There's no imperial edict, but the Prime Minister has just given me a letter of appointment." Lucy said, and took a few steps forward, then held out a scroll with both hands.

Duman was stunned for a moment, and the other party actually answered his question. He frowned, and suddenly realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

Duman took the thing from the other party 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. The content of the official document was actually a lot, but it was just this meaning over and over again, and no other information was revealed.

As mentioned before, the vice president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce is not an official position, so the appointment does not need to go through Linton's hands. Prime Minister Terrad just needs to approve a note, which is just an ordinary official document.

But Terrad just casually brought a group of people with him, and the people below didn't dare to deal with them casually.

Duman broke into a sweat when he saw the appointment letter.

On the one hand, this official document is indeed stamped with the seal of the Prime Minister's Office. This is of course true. If anyone in the imperial city dares to privately make a fake prime minister's seal, your whole family will be ruined, right?

The second and more important point is, what is the name of the Chamber of Commerce that Lucy was appointed to? The Royal Chamber of Commerce.

Duman knew nothing about the Royal Chamber of Commerce and had never even heard of it, but anything with the word "royal" in it was bound to be extraordinary.

Duman didn't know how much gold content the vice president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce had, but he was a little afraid to care about it now. Of course, he was not afraid of Lucy in front of him. What he was afraid of was ruining the Prime Minister's business, and even more afraid of ruining 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 be tough anymore.

"The main reason I brought people here this time is because I suspect that President Coxsackie is using illegal means to interfere with the affairs of my Royal Chamber of Commerce. I wanted to ask him to go back and inquire about the situation, but Your Excellency has also seen that this guy is still preparing to resist. Since Your Excellency is here, please help me so that I can complete my task earlier and report to the Prime Minister." Lucy said with a smile.
