My name is Ren

Chapter 356 Life is like a river, opportunities are like fish in water, people never lack opportunities in their life

There is absolutely no defense without flaws in this world. Even the most powerful magician and elemental rulers in the world, with their power to destroy the world, still have flaws.Even gods can fall, let alone a nobleman who doesn't even have extraordinary power, and a group of smugglers.They can't be really foolproof, as long as they find a small gap, they can pry open their tortoise shells to reveal the weakest part.

On the way back, Ren kept thinking about how to find this flaw.

When he returned to Gaher's appalling Governor's Mansion, Gaher had already sent Sistine away, and he looked at Ren with a kind of indifference and a sense of superiority.

"Earl Rennes, how is the investigation going?" If this sentence is separated from the environment, context, and the entire context, it is definitely a very common and normal sentence.But at this moment, Gaher's words are like a kind of teasing.He carefully packed the things, and couldn't wait to watch Ren's impatience and annoyance after he couldn't find anything, as if this would make him happy.

Ren squinted at him, his calm eyes were like the eternal ice in the north, without any waves.The smile on the corner of Gaher's mouth suddenly froze, and the corner of his mouth slowly flattened, and the playfulness in his eyes was replaced by seriousness.Ryan looks only eighteen or nineteen years old, and it is said that there is still a month before the coming-of-age ceremony.But he really can't be regarded as a young man. Gaher also has his own children, and his second son is about the same age as Ryan.

After some comparison, he found that his second son was just a waste, without a city, with moods and expressions, unable to stand the slightest ridicule and teasing, like a thunderbolt wandering in the sky, irritable and superficial.

The calm expression in the eyes of the person in front of him gave him the illusion that he was facing his peers, and he didn't have any upper hand.Everything at this time seemed to be an intentional or unintentional move by the other party. Instead, he felt that he was a clown, making ridiculous and funny moves, vulgar and vulgar.

Ren's gaze was not too aggressive, nor sharp like a knife piercing Gaher's heart, he just looked at him so calmly, until he saw Gaher actively looked away, moved Ren opened his eyes and looked at other places, and then retracted his eyes, "As long as you seriously explore and discover, there will always be some gains. You ask me how the investigation is going?" Ren raised his wrist He grabbed his cuffs and tugged, swept the front of the clothes, grabbed the collars on both sides with both hands and struggled vigorously, raised his chin and looked arrogantly at Gaher, "I have made many important discoveries."

With a contemptuous smile, he gave Gaher a haughty look, "I'm tired, and lunch will be delivered to my room."

Before he finished speaking, he took Jasmine directly out of the gate and walked towards the stairs.Watching Ren disappearing at the corner of the stairs, with the sound of the boots hitting the stairway echoing in his ears, a bright red color suddenly appeared on Gaher's clean face, and the red color quickly turned blue.The palm hanging by his side clenched into a fist, and then loosened it.He took a deep breath, calmed down the throbbing in his heart, and stared frowningly at Ren's way back.

What did he find?
Why does he have such confidence?

Why does he treat me like this in my place?

Isn't he afraid?

Could it be that he really thought that the golden nobles could be unscrupulous?

There is no answer.

If there was any reservation about the so-called cooperation between Gaher and Sistine before, then at this time, he had already made up his mind to send Ren away as soon as possible, and he could not be allowed to stay here.Such a guy felt too dangerous to him. Ren was like a poisonous snake hiding in a hole, and he didn't know when he would suddenly come out and bite him with a fatal bite.

Back in his bedroom, Ren stood on the bed and looked at the lifeless city, and sneered.Yes, this morning's wandering made him find it very difficult to find clues to the smuggling group. The smuggling group had arranged everything properly.They didn't put the goods in the city, and they also cleared up the uneven voices in the city. They polished the whole city like a smooth mirror, leaving Rennes with nowhere to exert power.

But no matter how difficult the situation here is, is it more difficult than when he was alone in Ortrenburg?Even Ortrenburg can be controlled by him, let alone such a city?
Since there is nowhere to apply force, then create a point where you can focus!
He is a golden nobleman, how can he be entangled in such ordinary difficulties, these people are still too naive, they don't know what a golden nobleman is, and what a rule breaker is!
Lunch is relatively simple, still the steak of Peter Ann's yak, and a vegetable.In the Northland, the price of vegetables is often more expensive than meat. In this world without greenhouses, it is very difficult to find some green plants that meet the taste of nobles in the ice and snow.Only a place like the Governor's Mansion can use magic pedestals and Tiberium crystals to create a greenhouse dedicated to cultivating off-season vegetables.

After eating, Ren didn't think about continuing to go to the street. He needed to plan the next work and let Jasmine take a good rest.He believes that once a person is pushed into a corner, anything can be done.

The atmosphere in the whole city is very oppressive, and people's hearts are shrouded in an invisible dark cloud, making it hard to breathe.

In the slums in the north of the city, a one-eyed man drank wine, and occasionally a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

It is impossible for any city to be completely fair and just.As long as there are holders of power, as long as people have desires, there will always be gaps and contradictions.

The gap between the rich and the poor, and the conflict of power, if there are winners like Gaher and Sistine, there must also be losers.This one-eyed man was a loser. He used to be the No. 30 man in the city, but since Gaher took office, he was dismissed.This small city with [-] people is too small, and it is also too poor. If you want to live a good life, it is not just as simple as being an ordinary bad guy.

His name is Norton, which has no special meaning. Commoners are not qualified to use surnames, and they will not give their children a special Desi name like nobles.Norton, this name is just a catchphrase, and not many people call it in Shukusius, so it is convenient to distinguish the difference between this Norton and other Nortons.

He used to be the leader of a gang. In fact, it is not right to say that he was a gang. He was born in a poor family at first, and he has been running around for a living since he was 13 years old.At that time, it happened to be during the reign of Orlando VI in his later years, and the policies and social environment in all aspects were relatively moderate.He made many people submit by force, and became the leader of the laborers in the city.Once a person becomes the well-deserved boss of a certain industry, it means that in this industry, the rules will be made by him.

In those years, Norton relied on his power to get some money, but it was just some money.If foreign businessmen and local businessmen need helpers, buddies, etc., they must be arranged by him, and he has done a little bit for himself in this.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is bullying and dominating the market.

He's not a good guy, and he can't be.

But when Gaher came to power, the nobleman from the south immediately started to clean up the stubborn old forces in the city, defeated and scattered the group of workers who bullied the city.And Norton's eyes were also blinded by soldiers from the city defense army who came to suppress their troubles during such a conflict.At that time, he realized that no matter how much he flaunted his power, in the eyes of nobles and officials, he was actually no different from those who were often bullied by him.

Only then did he settle down, using some of the money he had saved before, he bought a shop in the east of the city and lived off the rent.

Norton put down his glass, looked out at the somewhat gloomy sky, covered the eye sockets that had lost his eyes, and frowned.Every rainy day, his eye sockets would throb and hurt, making him never able to forget everything that happened that day.

"Brother, are you eating?" A strong man similar to Norton hurried in outside the door. This strong man called him brother, but he was not his younger brother, but his former subordinate.Most of the people under Norton had a hard time. They were used to getting something for nothing, and they suddenly had to do manual labor, which made these people very uncomfortable.More importantly, it is definitely a psychological blow for guys who were already different from ordinary people to become ordinary people again.

Someone endured this blow, separated from Norton, and returned to a peaceful life.There are also some people who can't do it and can only hold on.

Seeing the beef piled up on the table, the burly man immediately salivated. He didn't care whether Norton greeted him or not, so he sat down and ate it.

While eating, he said, "Brother, guess who I saw today?"

Norton lost his appetite by this guy, dropped the knife and fork, held a wine glass and asked, "Who?"

The burly man showed a mysterious smile, and squeezed out a few syllables from his thick lips, "A nobleman from the imperial capital!"

"Oh?" Norton narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly thought of something, leaned out and grabbed the strong man by the collar, "When did I come, why don't I know?"

The brawny man was a little confused, he said in a daze, "It was yesterday, didn't Gaher inform us that we were not allowed to go to the streets yesterday, it turned out that it was because this noble lord came..."

Norton directly grabbed the small pot containing the yak meat and stuffed it into the arms of the strong man. The only remaining eye in his eyes flashed fiercely, "Go and find out what the nobleman is here for!"
