“……………… Alright, if I really wanted to kill you, I would have done it as soon as I entered the door, so I wouldn't have found such a lame reason to kill you earlier, get up. ”

Slowly opening his eyes, the middle-aged fat man who was the third councillor hurriedly reached out and touched his chest after opening his eyes, and after confirming that there was no wound or bleeding on his chest, he breathed a sigh of relief and finally let go of the hanging heart. At this time, he realized that his back was all wet with cold sweat, and Sun Lin, who was about to kill himself before, had already sat in the seat of the chairman of the council, looking at him calmly.

"Xie Mian will not kill.................. Crown, crown, you just meant to say! Captain Richard's guard he has already ............ "worthy of being the third oldest among many businessmen, the third councillor immediately drew a conclusion from Sun Lin's words and actions that he and even everyone in London did not dare to imagine, and his intuition told the middle-aged fat man that the guess in his heart was true, and this matter definitely involved everyone present, including himself." The other councillors who were standing on the side, whose heads were originally blank, also reacted under the exclamation of the third councillor, and looked at the chairman in front of them with a look of disbelief, wanting to get the answer they wanted from Sun Lin's mouth.

"You're smart, so you can't think about what you're doing before you act! What does it involve? What kind of problems will arise after it is done? You guys.................. Alas! That's it, I have nothing to say at this point, see for yourself whether you will carry out the punishment according to the paper I brought, or go to the military headquarters and follow the punishment routine for violating the business law.................. Just as you had predicted, because you sold inferior food to the orc tribes deep in the desert, and did not carefully remove the traces from the road on the way back from the sale, one or more orc tribes discovered the New Delhi Peninsula, and Richard died in the battle against the orc forces. ”

"This—This is truly a great sorrow for the Empire............"

"That's the way it is, then your choice is ............."

After the more than 10 businessmen and councilors present looked left and right, in the end, a middle-aged man with a mediocre face and a thin body, but his eyes were not shining, walked out of the crowd and said to Sun Lin: "Your Majesty, Xie Lu Xie You used to value us, and now dozens of our councilors are willing to accept your punishment, and we have decided to withdraw from the power center of the commercial guild from now on, at most we will only become a member of the lowest level of the commercial guild, but ..............."

"But what?"

"Your Majesty Sun Lin, our generation has done something wrong, but we hope that our mistakes will not be inflicted on the next generation, so if in the future, the descendants of our former parliamentarians have the ability to become a qualified imperial businessman, please don't look at them with colored eyes, I believe that the empire has always been eager to seek talent, and I hope that there will be more capable people to serve the empire, may I ask Your Majesty, can you agree to this of ours?"

"Golden cicada shelling? Abandon the car to protect the handsome? I didn't expect this group of businessmen to be so bold, and they actually knew how to give up the immediate interests and ask for the profits, but in the end, they are still the population rewarded by the system, and they will be hung on the sapling that can thrive before the sun sets..............." Looking at the group of businessmen in front of him, Sun Lin muttered a few words softly: "Okay, I agreed to your request, but I also hope that you will fulfill your promise, and from now on you will never have anything to do with the word power." ”

"We'll be crowned by Sun Lin, then......... In my position as the second councillor, on behalf of all the remaining councillors, I swear to the great lord of the sun, Sun Linmian, that we are willing to accept the punishment set by Sun Linmian and from now on renounce and never taint anything with power..................

At night, in the councillor's hall in London, in Sun Lin's dedicated office.....................

"Your Excellency, judging from the information gathered from all sides, those merchants returned home in accordance with the contents of the oath after handing over the shops to the Ministry of Commerce, and began to devote themselves to the commercial market, and did not make any small moves in secret, and the nine newly appointed parliamentarians have nothing to do with these former councillors, and it seems that these cancers have really been solved this time................"

"No, there is no such thing as perfection in this world, and I am still not at ease with these people............... However, most of their property has been deprived at present, and their rights have been deprived completely, it seems that they are not making any big waves at present, but for the sake of safety, Leo, you still have to let those people in the military department step up the training of those assassins, and when the time is ripe, or when they are bent on anything, they can all be eliminated at once, I don't want so many bloodthirsty moths to be lurking in the city of London, ready to absorb the blood of the city of London anytime and anywhere. ”

"Got it............... Your Excellency, the captains of the military department who had approved the smuggling of these merchants have also been replaced, the soldiers who turned a blind eye have also been retrained in the castle, and the potential danger factors of the military department have been eliminated in general, and as for the civilian department, since no problems have been found so far, we have not removed a single official at present. ”

"This shows that our intelligence network system is too poor, although those merchants are not tight-lipped, but they can get so much moldy food must have the support of the high-level of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I don't believe that they can gather all the moldy grain in the warehouses in London and Nottingham without the approval of the members of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce has not yet held a lot of power to control the grain warehouses all over the New Delhi Peninsula, these things have always been under the unified management of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"So what do we do now? Those parliamentarians have all withdrawn from the power level, and they have also taken away a lot of secrets, so that the fault line in the purge has so far, and we can no longer collect more information from other people, Sun Linmian, do you need me to let the people of the intelligence network pry their mouths? ”

“……………… Forget it, the purpose of this purge was originally only to recover the profits of trade, so that the government would have the vast majority of the interests in the future trade with the continent across the sea, instead of letting these interests be taken by the scattered merchants in the city of London, the purpose has been achieved, and by the way, the problem of the military department has been solved, and the affairs of the civil department will be talked about later, and now it is time to turn our attention to other things, such as the ocean-going adventure fleet that will finally return to London................"
