I am surrounded by beauties in the Gods and Demons Game Center

Chapter 108 You have to go even if you don’t want to go

Zhang Wei took Qian Yuanyuan and Samantha to finish their meal and were shopping on the street when they heard a dense sound of horse hooves behind them. According to Wang Guolu, the only people who could ride horses in the city were viscounts and knights.

The sound of horse hooves attracted people's attention, and when Zhang Wei looked back, he saw Deputy Knight Commander Fang riding on a horse, followed by two kingdom knights.

The afternoon sun, like a scorching torrent, splashed on the silver knight armor of Deputy Knight Commander Fang.

Under the sunlight, every pattern on the armor appeared exceptionally clear. The silver light flickered and flowed, as if telling people about her glory and splendor.

Zhang Wei looked at Deputy Knight Commander Fang who looked like a figure in a painting, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and two middle fingers. This guy was indeed extraordinary.

"Follow me." Deputy Knight Commander Fang rode his horse up to Zhang Wei and gave the order condescendingly.

"Where are you going?" Zhang Wei asked knowingly.

"Get on the carriage behind before I change my mind." Deputy Knight Commander Fang suppressed his anger, turned his horse's head and left Zhang Wei.

At this time, Zhang Wei saw that there was a carriage behind the other two knights.

After getting on the carriage, Zhang Wei saw the tax collector. It was obvious that this guy was first "caught" by Deputy Knight Commander Fang, and then came to find them.

After leaving the city, the carriage began to move at full speed following Deputy Knight Commander Fang towards where the Viscount was.

A few days later, Zhang Wei and others finally arrived at the place where the Viscount was on vacation. With the help of Deputy Knight Commander Fang, Zhang Wei and the tax officer met the Baron.

This time, the tax collector did not push Zhang Wei to the front, but began to cry to the Baron. In his words, the adventurers had become a rebellious mob. The inaction of the army, the carelessness of the steward and Qiao Rui's old age and stupidity had caused irreparable losses to the entire barony.

With a "bang", the baron hammered the table hard, but the table did not move at all. The baron covered his hand in pain.

"What are you doing?" The baron, feeling pain, asked when he saw Zhang Wei standing behind the tax collector without saying a word.

"Your Excellency, my name is Zhang Wei. I am the deputy centurion appointed by the tax collector, and I am responsible for the safety of the tax collector." Zhang Wei took the opportunity to confirm his identity as the deputy centurion.

"Sir..." The tax officer wanted to explain that he had no choice.

The baron raised his hand to signal the tax officer that there was no need to explain. He continued to ask Zhang Wei, "Zhang Wei, why do I remember that you seemed to be following Xiaonan?"

"Yes, sir, I am following Brother Nan." Zhang Wei did not shy away from his identity with Brother Nan. He knew that the Baron cared not about his relationship with Brother Nan, but his relationship with the butler.

Sure enough, the baron asked again: "Are you still the butler's man?"

"Yes." Zhang Wei still admitted that he was the housekeeper's man.

The baron smiled and waved his hand to signal the tax collector to wait outside.

"Me?" The tax collector was a little incredulous. He also asked the baron whether he should go out and wait.

When the baron saw that the tax collector questioned his orders, he frowned slightly. When the tax collector saw this, he quickly retreated.

"What's going on?" The Baron asked Zhang Wei after the tax officials left.

"To put it simply, Sha Qiangqiang slept with my squad leader's woman. When the centurion and the tax collector came out to mediate, an explosion occurred in the city, and the murderer had not yet been found. Sha Qiang's brother Mingge went down to the dungeon, and his life or death was unknown. There were rumors that my squad leader hired someone to kill him. Later, the centurion wanted to send the army into the dungeon to look for Mingge, but it angered the adventurers, so the adventurers rebelled and looted the city's industries."

The Baron frowned, digesting what Zhang Wei said.

After a long while, the baron frowned and said, "In short, it's because of a woman?"

"Yes and no, this matter is actually quite complicated. After being bullied, the woman was temporarily placed in my store. However, after the bombing, someone raided my store while we were out on a business trip, kidnapped the woman and her sister who took care of her, and their whereabouts are still unknown. Also missing at the same time were Sha Qiang and his subordinate Lame. So, there are rumors that Sha Qiang was the culprit of the bombing and the creator of the rumor."

The baron thought for a moment and said, "So, you think that as long as we find that woman and Sha Qiang, many things can be figured out, right?"

"Yes," Zhang Wei admitted, "So when the tax collector came to me for asylum, he admitted that he agreed to kidnap the woman. In exchange, I will escort the tax collector to see you safely, and the tax collector will tell me where Sha Qiang and the woman are."

"I see," the baron nodded and continued, "This explains why you, the steward's man, came out to protect the tax collector. However," the baron changed the subject and said, "You are a smart man. You should know who you should be most loyal to."

Zhang Wei knelt on one knee and saluted the baron, saying, "I am willing to be a lone minister and serve you only."

"Hahahaha, good! You are indeed a smart man. Tell me what your conditions are." After laughing, the Baron did not completely believe Zhang Wei's loyalty, but continued to test him.

"Well..." Zhang Wei hesitated, then said, "I have a woman who likes to do business and make money. I want a few stores and a caravan quota."

Facing Zhang Wei's demands for money and land, the baron was delighted. He didn't really like smart people, he liked smart people who were greedy for money. Because such people were easy to control. Zhang Wei was loyal to him today, so the store and caravan naturally belonged to Zhang Wei. If Zhang Wei was unfaithful, or if he no longer needed Zhang Wei, then wouldn't he be able to take back the store and caravan?

For the Baron, exchanging something that can be taken back at any time for the loyalty of others is a perfect benefit.

Of course, the Baron would not completely believe in Zhang Wei's loyalty. As long as what Zhang Wei asked for did not involve actual power, incomplete loyalty was acceptable.

"I will reward you for your request when I go back. When you go out later, you must find out the whereabouts of Sha Qiang and the woman, understand what happened clearly, and find out if there is a mastermind behind it." The baron gave his orders to Zhang Wei.

"Yes!" Zhang Wei accepted the order.

Zhang Wei left the room and came to the corridor, where he saw the tax officer pacing back and forth. Looking at the tax officer's expression as if he wanted to ask something but was too embarrassed to speak, Zhang Wei couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Zhang Wei didn't bother to talk too much with the tax officer. He just asked him to fulfill his promise and tell him the whereabouts of Sha Qiang, Lame and Kelly.

The tax officer was eager to send Zhang Wei away, and he quickly told Zhang Wei where these people were staying and their contact information. Since the baron left Zhang Wei alone to question him, the tax officer was worried that Zhang Wei would take the opportunity to get closer to the baron. He was very upset that he should not have brought Zhang Wei to meet the baron.

After obtaining the intelligence, Zhang Wei found Deputy Knight Commander Fang and obtained permission to leave. Then he took Qian Yuanyuan and Samantha and rode in a carriage borrowed from Deputy Knight Commander Fang and headed for Jinhou Town.

Shortly after Zhang Wei left, Deputy Knight Commander Fang, who had just reported to Viscount Jin Hou, also set out for the city under Viscount Jin Hou's order.

A few days later, Zhang Wei and his two companions returned to Jinhou Town and went to rescue Kelly and Veronica without stopping. According to their plan, after rescuing the two women, they would go and cause trouble for Sha Qiang and the Lame Man.

Zhang Wei came to the house where the two women were imprisoned and knocked on the secret signal, but no one answered. Instead, the door slowly opened in response to the knocking.

A faint smell of blood made Zhang Wei frown. He made a battle preparation gesture to Qian Yuanyuan and Samantha and signaled them to guard the door.

Zhang Wei used invisibility and slowly walked in. There was no one in the corridor, but there was a strong smell of blood coming from the living room and the second floor.

Zhang Wei came to the living room and saw three bodies scattered everywhere, and they looked like they had not been dead for long.

Zhang Wei left the living room and groped his way to the second floor. There was a body in the corridor and the two doors at the end were open. He walked to the end and there was no body inside.

Zhang Wei opened the rooms on the second floor one by one, and only walked out of the house after confirming that Kelly and Veronica were not there.

"What's wrong?" Qian Yuanyuan asked.

"Four people died. Kelly and Veronica are not here, so it feels like they haven't been dead for long." Zhang Wei frowned, thinking about what to do next.

"Are we still going to see Lame and Sha Qiang?" Samantha asked.

Zhang Wei didn't say anything. Just when he was wondering whether to report to the police, he happened to see Deputy Knight Commander Fang and his two knights riding past him on the street.

After seeing the tool man, Zhang Wei immediately ran up with a smile. He hesitated to report to the police before because he was not familiar with the local army led by the viscount and was afraid that he would be killed instead of being able to take over. Now that he saw Deputy Knight Commander Fang, he was no longer afraid. This kind of pure career-oriented strong woman is much easier to deal with than those old soldiers.

When Deputy Knight Commander Fang heard that terrorists suspected of inciting riots in the Barony appeared in Jinhou Town, he immediately dismounted and went to the scene with Zhang Wei. After confirming that there was a dead person in the house, Deputy Knight Commander Fang began to take over everything here.

Two and a half hours later, Deputy Knight Commander Fang came out of the house with the investigation results. Seeing Zhang Wei still waiting outside, she asked, "What do you want in exchange?"

"I have two more locations to offer." Zhang Wei immediately gave his conditions.

"Among the four male dead, two were registered adventurers, and two were soldiers in your territory. The adventurers had no passes, and the soldiers had no transfer orders. It is very likely that they sneaked in illegally, which is a very serious problem." Even though it was agreed that the conditions were exchanged, Deputy Knight Commander Fang still warned Zhang Wei with his words.

"I know, I know." Zhang Wei nodded. He said "I know", but he was not panicked at all. The Guild was responsible for the adventurers, and the Centurion was responsible for the soldiers. What did he, a newly promoted deputy, have to do with him? As for the illegal infiltration, it was also the responsibility of the Viscount's army. It was the negligence of precautions that allowed people to infiltrate. It still had nothing to do with him.

Deputy Knight Commander Fang also saw that Zhang Wei was afraid on the surface, but in fact he was not worried at all. She said, "You didn't go to the other two places. You must have guessed that the same thing happened here. Tell me, where are the locations?"

Seeing that Deputy Knight Commander Fang was willing to continue being a tool, Zhang Wei hurriedly reported the location to Deputy Knight Commander Fang.
