My name is Ren

Chapter 317 Chapter [-] When a person needs to find an excuse for his betrayal, anything is fine
"Alma has sneaked away, what should we do now?" Richard opened a corner of the curtain, sweat dripping down his head unstoppably, he wiped and wiped, every pore was like a twisted Beads of sweat gushed out of the faucet.The weather in December was already close to freezing point, and even though the fireplace was burning in the house, the temperature was only fifteen or six degrees Celsius, but Richard was still drenched as if he had just been fished out of the water.

He lowered the curtains and walked back and forth anxiously. Cooper frowned and poked the ground with a long sword in his hand. A loud bang disturbed Richard, who was in an inexplicable state, and forced him to wake up. .

"It's not an option to regret now. The first thing we have to do is to deal with everything before Ryan comes back. Otherwise..." Cooper didn't say the rest.

Since Rennes was forced to return to the imperial capital from Bell Province in September, the affairs of Ortrenburg were handed over to the so-called "Big Three" to manage.Richard is in charge of basic government affairs and finances. The most important thing in a city's system is finances. Holding tight to the money bag is equivalent to choking the throats of other departments.In this environment where money is easy to talk about, but money is hard to move, Richard has lived very well.

The monopolized goods have brought huge profits, and Rennes has pinched the business route between the Orlando Empire and the Byron Empire. Ortrenburg is becoming more and more prosperous day by day at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye, and the city's income is also increasing day by day. more than a day.

The second is Cooper. As the captain of the guard, Cooper controls the official violent agency.Perhaps the Ortrenburg Guard before the Rennes era was just a decoration, but after the Rennes era, the deterrence of the guard has been unprecedentedly improved.Any criminal behavior will be punished, which makes the status of the security force rise steadily, and sometimes the security force also plays the role of the city's appearance manager. Cooper has become one of the big three in the new era.

And the one left is Alma, who was left by Rennes in the small place of Ortrenburg because of her soft heart. The environment of the imperial capital is not suitable for people with soft hearts.Alma, who has all kinds of eyeliner, monitors the entire Bell Province, and no disturbance can escape her sight.In her eyes, there are almost no secrets in the entire Bell Province.

These three giants represent Wren's interests in Bell Province, control the daily life of Ortrenburg, and supervise any possible accidents.

But no one thought that the first surprises were not those forces and cities swept by Rennes, but Ortrenburg and the Big Three themselves.

Ortrenburg had accumulated a lot of wealth, and before Rennes left, no one dared to make even a copper coin of the money.Ren's cruel methods will make those peepers understand what thunder's fury is. Although cruel methods will do some harm to society, they can also bring more benefits.

After Ren left, it was inevitable that there would be a wave of people's hearts fluttering.After all, since the Great Demon King has left, his influence will decline. This is an undeniable fact.Ortrenburg has never been a perfect place. This is the city of sin, the city of chaos, and each of the residents here has their own bizarre stories.When the pressure is gone, some people will inevitably germinate in a solid state.

If one were to ask who in this city would benefit most from Wren's departure, the answer undoubtedly pointed to the privileged.With Rennes around, they are not much different from civilians. Once Rennes leaves, the particularity of the privileged class begins to increase day by day.

Facing the mountains of goods and money in the warehouse, Cooper was the first to be unable to resist this temptation.He is a declining nobleman, and he also wants to revive his former family and glory, so he needs capital.He is just a guard captain, how much money can he get from corruption or a little favor?So he quickly set his sights on the silver coins that Rennes hadn't had time to cash in. The uncertainty of exchange price fluctuations caused these silver coins to fluctuate out of thin air.

No one can guarantee that all silver coins will be exchanged for gold coins at the highest currency exchange rate, not even Richard, so Cooper moved Richard, and the reason is very simple.

Salcomo became a nobleman, and Alma was promised by Rennes to give her a title ten years later. Although Harvey did not get any promise from Rennes, he was enough to seal a baronship with his dark head.So from the current point of view, Cooper and Richard may be the only ones who have not received any benefits or future in Ortrenburg.

Inciting a person's anger and hatred sometimes does not require eloquent rhetoric, but a real evidence is enough.In the face of Cooper's persuasion, Richard also had a bit of psychological ups and downs, especially after he heard that the imperial capital was about to appoint a new city lord to Ortrenburg, this ups and downs turned into dissatisfaction.

Will the new city lord kick him away, the former tax collector, will he deprive him of his power, and will he turn into a mud dog again?It's hard to say, it's really hard to say, any city lord will not appoint a person who is not relatives or relatives, but also a former confidant, to take charge of his money bag.Once Richard was kicked out, he would really have nothing, not to mention his future, but he would not even have much money.

The human heart, once it starts to deteriorate, it will rot quickly.

When Ryan asked him to cash in the silver coins exchanged for the Orlando Empire's currency fluctuation at the beginning of the year, he was moved by Cooper's persuasion.1 gold coins were removed through various means, of which [-] were given to Cooper, and he got [-] for himself, and the other [-] gold coins were used up in various ways.After all, the exchange of silver coins is calculated in units of boxes, which cannot be hidden from some people's eyes, and the thousand gold coins are the hush money.

After getting the money, Richard and Cooper went through the initial critical period of uneasiness. They found that when Ryan didn't seem to be as omnipotent as they had imagined before, a kind of evil intention quietly grew.You won’t be able to find out if you took your [-] gold coins today, so it’s no problem to get a few dozen tomorrow, and a hundred or two hundred the day after tomorrow.Richard, as the butler trusted by Rennes, holds the money bag of the entire city, so naturally no one will question him.

If only these two big figures were involved in the whole matter, it might be permanently hidden, but this matter cannot be done by two people.

When a drunken helper walked into a technical service center to enjoy a skilled woman's work skills, it was destined that this matter would eventually be brought to light.Among the skilled women in the entire Bell Province, the ones with top looks and figures are all women who have received espionage training, and they all have excellent cross-examination skills.When an apparently poor drunk brandishes a purse full of silver coins to spend, it's a natural target.

This news was quickly reported to Alma, and Alma broke out in a cold sweat. She had no idea that the other two of the so-called Big Three of the new era would actually be colluding and colluding.While being terrified, she also realized that it was not only these two people who had problems in Ortrenburg, it must be a group of people who had problems.So she intensified her efforts to inquire, and the result also made her feel anger and fear.

At this time, someone from Alma's girls leaked the news, and Cooper found out immediately.Without any consideration and discussion, Cooper decided to restrict Alma's life freedom.He is not so arrogant that he wants to silence him. After all, there are still a group of Rennes' most steadfast followers here.His purpose was just to make Alma shut up, that's all.

However, Alma, who realized that she had stabbed a hornet's nest, did not give Cooper this chance at all. She absconded directly and told Marvin about it, while she herself waited in a secret stronghold outside the city. information.

Unfortunately, all she was waiting for was the news that Ma Wen had an accident while patrolling the city wall drunk and fell off the city wall and died.

Cooper is crazy, and so is Richard!

Alma immediately went west alone, she had to see Ren and report to Ren what happened here, not only because of her allegiance, but also because she didn't want to die.

"Why don't we leave?" Richard still didn't understand why Cooper chose to stay here when he could just leave.

Cooper sneered and shook his head, this stupid pig really has no brains at all, Marvin is indeed dead, but the city defense army is its own line, he and Richard want to leave no problem, but what about those gold coins?What about those wealth and precious stones?
The merchants and caravans in the entire city are either members of the Salkomo of the Industrial and Commercial Party, or people loyal to Rennes. It is obviously impossible to transfer wealth in this way.If it is to be carried by hand, it will require 30 people. If there are more people, it means that the secret will be made public.They absolutely cannot pass through the pass and enter the Weimar Corridor. Besides, where can they go in the entire Bell Province?Instead of running around aimlessly outside, it is better to smooth out some accounts and get rid of some people who should be removed before Renn understands the situation here.

Without conclusive evidence, as the meritorious officials who helped Ryan stabilize his rule, he and Richard may not be threatened with their lives.

As long as you can save your life, keep your money, and change places after the turmoil has passed, you may not be able to regain power again!
Cooper kept telling himself and Richard that it wasn't that they betrayed Ryan, but that Ryan abandoned them first.With their merits, how could they be inferior to Alma?Why did almost everyone who followed Ryan get benefits, only he and Richard didn't get anything?It's not fair to them, they just want what's theirs back.
