Doomsday Code

Chapter 452 Nagging

Chen Cheng nodded and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"I'm going to pack my bags."

Ke Kebo nodded, and then said:

"Do you have any money on you? If you need it, you can go to Butler Carter to withdraw some money."

Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

"Thank you, but I have money on me."

Kekeber nodded.

"Well, remember to be safe. Avoid dangerous situations if you can. If you can't avoid them, remember to mention the Earl's name. Don't try to handle them alone."

At this time, Kekebo kept chattering on and on about Chen Cheng's instructions like an old father.

If Chen Cheng had the mindset of a teenager, he might have thought that Kekeber was nagging, but as an adult, he felt very warm in his heart.

So he did not become impatient with Kekeber's instructions, but nodded seriously to show that he had listened to his teachings.

Finally, Finelle couldn't stand the nagging anymore.

"Oh, father Brown knows about this. Why are you so nagging? You're like a nagging old woman."

Kekeber also realized that he had been a bit of a nag today. He glared at Finier and said:

"What are you talking about? Father, isn't this just giving Brown some instructions?"

Then he waved his hand and said to Chen Cheng:

"Okay, I won't nag you any more. Just remember one thing: if there is danger..."

"If there is danger, hide if you can. If you can't hide, use your status as the Earl."

Finier spoke to him directly before he opened his mouth.

Chen Cheng returned to his room, packed up his things with his space bag, and then left the house.

Outside the mansion, Chen Cheng saw Sheli and the other man explaining to their clients that he needed to be away for a while and would not be able to do business during this time.

Of course the reason he gave was that he had to go out and look for suitable wood for carving.

Chen Cheng arrived at the door of the Earl's Mansion, where there were already several carriages parked.

These carriages were loaded with various gifts that Huidun was going to give out when he returned to the capital, and servants were now loading other gifts onto the carriages.

There is a whole carriage of custom-made high-end perfumes alone.

Xiao Dun and others were also wearing knight armor today, riding on war horses and guarding on both sides of the convoy.

After everything was assembled, Huidun also walked out of the mansion.

The two got on the carriage, and then at Huidun's command, the convoy staggered out of Huidun City.

The carriage was fine on the straight cement road in the city, but when it stepped onto the dirt official road, the bumps in the carriage gave Chen Cheng's butt a lesson.

No wonder exile was the punishment for criminals in ancient times. It sounds like it is similar to public travel. In fact, in the ancient times with such low social production, many places were actually undeveloped primeval forests.

The mere act of exile, walking through those primeval forests, is a torture, not to mention that you will have to work and perform forced labor in those remote and undeveloped barren lands.

Let’s not talk about this. In ancient times, the best way to deal with a political enemy was to transfer him to another post. Many officials in ancient times died on the way to taking office.

Chen Cheng touched his butt which was sore from the bumpy ride, and wondered why he hadn't thought of this before and why he hadn't developed a shock-absorbing suspension system.

After such an unbearable journey, the group finally arrived at the nearest Kailan City.

The situation in Kailan City at this time was just as Chen Cheng and others had thought before. Because Huidun passed the note, Kevlar imposed strict martial law on Kailan City for his own power.

He is just doing this for show. Those who are taking to the streets to enforce martial law are all gang members.

So the martial law has now evolved into a kind of underworld terror.

When Huidun and his convoy arrived at Kailan City, there were a few blind thugs who wanted to come up and collect protection fees.

These guys had been severely suppressed by their bosses before. In order to make more money, these gangster bosses had reached an agreement with Housen and others to restrict their younger brothers from collecting protection fees indiscriminately.

Now that the city lord Kefla has lifted the restrictions, and Hausen, the leader, is pretending to obey the city lord's orders, the Kailan City is now in the grip of a black terror.

Looking at the gangsters in front of him, Xiao Dun was almost amused by these guys.

"Don't kill anyone."

Huidun in the carriage just said this.

Afterwards, these ruffians received the iron-fist education that Xiao Dun and his friends loved.

After teaching these thugs a lesson, the group came to the largest restaurant in Kailan City.

This place used to be the Hongmei Pavilion, but now it has been transformed into the largest hotel and restaurant.

The main purpose of coming to Kailan City to rest for one night is to see what the current situation of Kailan City is like, and also to listen to Hausen and others' plans for this stage.

Not long after Huidun and the others entered the room, Hausen and his three companions disguised themselves as servants and knocked on the door.

After that, several people discussed in the room for a while before Hausen and the others came out of the room.

Today, Hausen is increasingly taking on the aura of a big gang boss, but underneath this aura of a gangster boss, his funny side cannot be concealed no matter what.

According to Huidun and others' plan, it would be best if Kailan City could be incorporated into his territory. If this fails, then Hausen must truly control Kailan City, or become the lord of Kailan City.

This is not without precedent.

You should know that in this world there are no examinations such as the imperial examination to select officials, and the academies in this world are not for training talents for political governance, but rather a place to learn magic and warrior knowledge.

Therefore, the officials in this world come from aristocrats and children of large families, who are chosen as officials because of their reputation or for some other reasons.

Or they could be low-level clerks who were appreciated and promoted because of their diligence in their work.

Tophis is the latter type.

The reason why Kevlar became the lord of Kailan City was not because he was wise and powerful, but because his family had been running Kailan City for many years, and in this gangster city, his family was the largest gangster force.

So he became the lord of Kailan City, and what the kingdom and the Council of State needed was the stability of Kailan City, and then they could pay taxes on time every year, and at the same time, they could draw out full troops when the king called for them.

Therefore, as long as the gangster forces that originally belonged to Kevlar can be persuaded to join Hausen, then with the operation of Wisdom Shield, Hausen can really become the new lord of Kailan City.

At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion, Kevlar was hugging a dancer and listening to the report from his butler.

"You mean to say that those guys from Hausen didn't go to see our Ninth Prince?"

"Yes, according to the reports from our internal personnel stationed in the Blackwood Gang, they stayed in the Blackwood Gang headquarters all day in accordance with the orders of the City Lord."
