My name is Ren

Chapter 470
Anyone, even a god, will abide by a special living habit, or law of life, in daily life.

This kind of customary law is difficult to be noticed by oneself, because it has been integrated into the whole body and soul of a person.If others don't point it out, you won't be able to discover it yourself.

For example, a certain detail, a certain way of thinking, a certain emotional change after being stimulated.You may not know it, but the people who follow you must know it.

Ryan also has his own habits and rules. It seems that the more successful people are, the more prominent the situation in this aspect is, which is why there is such a saying that "most successful people are those with personality defects".Ren's habits and rules are that he likes to stand on a high place and look at the whole city, and he likes to interfere excessively with some small things around him.Maybe Ren himself is not very clear, but his character has been thoroughly analyzed by the black priests.

This is a young man who likes to use his own power and influence to change the fate of small people. He likes to change the trajectory of some people's fate, and likes to give others a so-called opportunity and choice.

This is a very obvious mentality of the strong, taking pleasure in manipulating people's fate, and enjoying it, unable to extricate themselves.Since Ren left the imperial capital three years ago, he has always given some people cryptic hints, and then "created" a group of so-called "followers".For those who obey him, he can give a high degree of trust. For those who oppose him, he says that he is not a "mean" person, but he always gives them a fatal blow.

This is a young man who is as cunning as a fox, he has the city, wisdom, and strength that other young people do not have.If you want to assassinate Rennes, you only have one chance. If you fail, you will not have any chance for a long time in the future.

Therefore, the assassination this time is particularly important. Even if the plan fails, it cannot get out of the way. At least before Renn perceives the sharp knife edge, he must not be aware that someone is planning to assassinate him.

The next morning after the black widower made his decision, Ren woke up from his deep sleep at around eight o'clock.Vigros has come to Ortrenburg to live with his mother.In the middle of the night, Mirona sneaked into Ren's room. Once the young widow let go, she was completely immersed in various artificial pleasures and couldn't extricate herself.Or maybe she wants to gain a sense of psychological security in this way.

People are always suspicious of the benefits of getting something for nothing.

Ren lifted off the thin quilt, and it will enter October in a few days, and the weather in the morning and evening already has the chill of autumn.He was alone at this time, rubbed his face, got up from the bed, walked to the window of the tower, and pushed the window open with both hands.The sun poured down from the heaven, shining on his body, and the cool morning breeze licked his body wantonly.He looked down at the city, his city, and took a deep breath.

There have been more pedestrians on the road. The war and the dividends behind the war have stimulated the nerves of the businessmen, and indirectly prompted all kinds of people to get up early to look for short-term job opportunities or business opportunities.

He looked down and suddenly frowned.

On the street outside the city lord's mansion, three and a half-year-old children ran wildly on the relatively smooth street, chasing seven or eight young people behind them. They cursed and quickly caught up with the three and a half-year-old children , enclosing them in the middle.

The two groups clashed, and their quarrel could be heard faintly.On one side are seven or eight young people, on the other side are two and a half-year-old children, and a girl.Through the language of their quarrel, Ren faintly sensed that the conflict between them came from debt.

It is impossible for a city to be positive in all aspects. Ren has long known this. The brighter the place, the darker it will be.He does not ask Ortrenburg to be like heaven without the slightest dirt and dust, but at least what is exposed to the public eye should be a positive side.

In Ortrenburg, as always, there are places that provide happiness such as casinos and technical service centers, and there are also some usury organizations.Especially gambling, as long as gambling exists, usury will also exist for a day, the two are complementary, no one can get rid of the other, and each other forms a cyclical profit cycle, neither is indispensable.

He just paid attention to it, and then went back to the bathroom to start his daily routine, but when he was ready to start a new day, he ordered Ogles to bring the group of people outside the door into the Santo's Mansion.

Eating delicious pan-fried veal steak, this is a new dish recently developed by the chef of the City Lord's Mansion, which is unique.The cook absorbed some exotic styles in Ren's mind, and cracked open the salted goose eggs that had been marinated for fifteen days, and the yolks had secreted thick red oil.Take out the yolks of two salted goose eggs, mix the butter with the yolks themselves, and grind them into a paste with a knife, use the salted egg yolk mud as the base material, scrape it on the frying table of the griddle, and pour it with a fragrant After the vegetable oil is poured, put the veal steaks on and start frying.

In the process of overturning during frying and roasting, the egg yolk of the salted goose egg will gradually adhere to the veal steak, and finally form a crispy texture on both sides.Cut a piece of bag into the mouth, and the moment the teeth were biting down, there was a crispy click sound in the mouth.The first thing I tasted was the thick and salty egg yolk flavor, and the next moment, I bit the 89-day-old veal steak with my teeth, and the gravy burst instantly, mixed with the salty aroma of salted goose egg yolk, completely igniting all taste buds.

Coupled with the faint fragrance of the vegetable oil used for frying and roasting, it gives people a taste that is so happy that they want to cry.

Ren quickly ate the steak clean, "Add two silver coins to the cook, I like his attitude." That's right, it's an attitude problem, not a taste problem.Ryan will not give the cook a raise just because the cook makes delicious food, because making delicious food is the bounden duty of every cook, and this is not something worth rewarding.On the contrary, if the cook can't make delicious food, Ren will punish him because he didn't do his job well, such as finding someone to replace him.

Rewards are the attitude of rewarding cooks.He at least fulfilled his duties seriously, and made such a dish with a different style but a good taste.This may have something to do with the salted egg yolk shellfish that Rennes ate last time, but at least the cook really put his mind on researching the dishes, not other places.

Ogles bowed slightly, remembering Ryan's opinion, the old butler was in good spirits during this time.He has served the Alcanian family all his life. Although there is no blood of the Alcanian family flowing in his body, his soul has already integrated into this family.There is nothing that makes him happier than witnessing a family from decline to new prosperity.

Ren put down the knife and fork, his etiquette and attitude are always so serious, "Also, let's find out about the small conflicts that happened outside the door. I want to know the details."

He does not object to the existence of usury in this city, but he opposes setting up traps to deliberately harm people.From the quarrels of those people, he had a vague guess.He is not a soft-hearted person. Facing more than 2 workers in Balatan who have already knelt and surrendered, he can raise the butcher knife without hesitation and slaughter them all.It is also possible to promulgate decrees such as killing barbarians to push a race to the brink of extinction.

But at the same time, he also has a soft-hearted side.The most evil devil also has a sliver of determination to yearn for the light, let alone such a living human being with complex and changeable emotions?He also kept a part of beauty and sanctity in his heart, as well as a part of sensibility.

Soon, Ogles figured things out.

The three and a half-year-old children are three brothers and sisters. Their father lost a big one in a casino, and then borrowed ten gold coins from a loan shark in four installments.Ten gold coins is not a debt that can be repaid at will for an ordinary family. It will take at least five years to repay it all.But usury is not a charitable organization, and they don't have that much time and patience to wait for debts that have turned into astronomical figures after five years.

So they used the simplest way to deal with this gambling debt-using three children to pay off the debt.

Ever since Heiman became a high-priced and rare slave, the slave market has faced a very embarrassing situation, no slaves are sold!

Capable people have begun to half-disguise the half-orcs and orcs of the Byron Empire, and more slave traders are targeting their own race, the Desi.

Desi slaves are not easy to deal with. There is a law in the empire that stipulates that Desi people are not allowed to become slaves unless they are voluntary or under agreement, so the price of slaves is now going up all the way.This time, the father of the three children signed a debt agreement that if the debtor cannot repay the debt, the three children will be used to pay off the debt.

Such three-and-a-half-year-old children can sell at least 25 to 35 gold coins in the slave market, and if the conditioning lessons are excellent, the price will be even higher.

After all, some people prefer these teenagers who are twelve, three, four or five years old.

The problem now is that these three and a half-year-old children actually escaped after knowing their future destiny, which made everyone very embarrassed.The gambling father thinks that he has fulfilled the agreement. After all, he handed over the three children to the members of the usury organization who came to collect the goods, so it has nothing to do with him if the three children run away or die .These youths must take the three children back intact. Seeing that reasoning is no longer feasible, they have already begun to consider doing it.

As long as they are not beaten to death, and there are no scars affecting the sale of goods, then a certain degree of punishment is still acceptable.

At the moment when they were about to strike, Ogles and two soldiers separated them and brought them back to the city lord's mansion.

After eating breakfast, Ren rubbed his wrists after reading a few newspapers, and then he raised his head to look at the two groups who had been standing for almost half an hour.He raised his legs and took a sip from his teacup. The fragrance of green tea and the unique bitterness began to return quickly after slipping into his throat, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, "Where is the agreement? Let me have a look." .”

In fact, after the two groups were captured, the little ringleader of the usury was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground. Fortunately, the staff he hired with money were still very calm and told him how to face such a situation. He had the idea of ​​fleeing here.With all the procedures, agreements and contracts, he was already waiting outside the City Lord's Mansion.As soon as Rennes requested, he sent all the documents to Rennes.

In addition, the owner of the casino also came and stood aside for a long time. At this moment, he laughed with him, wiped the sweat from his face, and his eyes were full of pleading and longing.

Ren went through the procedures, and there was no problem. He glanced at the little ringleader of the loan shark. The latter couldn't bear the pressure in Ren's indifferent eyes, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, trembling and unable to get up.

Ren looked at the owner of the casino. In fact, this casino used to have his shares, but later he didn't like the money and transferred the shares.Speaking of which, the boss used to be one of his partners.Time has passed, and now, the two are no longer on the same line.

The boss of the casino nodded and bowed, his forehead almost hit the pineapple cap, and he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Didn't you design a trick to harm people?" Ren's tone was a bit harsh, and he knew very well that people must be responsible for their actions.If the gambler is voluntary, then nothing will happen, because the gambler's greed and desire have overcome his reason, and he needs to pay for his actions as a matter of course.But if it is to plot against him, the purpose is for the three children, then it is unforgivable.

The boss of the casino shook his head repeatedly, and the flesh on his face made waves with the movement of his head, "No, no, absolutely not. Don't worry, my lord, I have never done anything against your original order. "

Ren nodded noncommittally, "I will ask others about this matter, you'd better tell the truth, I don't like people lying to me." He paused, "Bring this man!"

In a city with a population of more than 80, it is extremely difficult to find someone, but it depends on who is looking for it.Ordinary people will definitely not find it, but it is too simple for Ren to find someone.

In less than half an hour, the fathers of these children appeared in the City Lord's Mansion.

He has the typical temperament of an ordinary gambler, timid, and his eyes dodge with a hint of cruelty at the same time.This person looked to be in his forties, his hair was already gray, his face was slightly dark and pale.He was short of breath, dressed in cheap linen clothes, and didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Ren picked up several agreements and waved them around, "Did you sign them voluntarily?"

The man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, secretly glanced at the small loan shark boss and casino owner standing aside, hesitated, and finally nodded.
