The Mysterious World Under Steampunk ~

The cargo terminal of Port Saite has undergone three transformations. The original cargo terminal was built in the city, and now is next to the passenger terminal. However, with the construction of a large number of factories on the edge of Port Saite, a In the large factory area, the surge in cargo throughput has overwhelmed the repeated expansion of the terminal. In the end, the municipality decided to move most of the large freight terminals out of the urban area, and divided a large coast in the factory area near the sea for the construction of the terminal.

　　After the construction of the large freight terminal, all the export goods and imported raw materials produced by the factory are handled from this large freight terminal, and the general commodities go to the freight terminal in the urban area.

　　 The difference between the cargo terminal in the same city is that this large terminal not only has a large number of warehouses for hoarding cargo, but also a large terminal capable of docking four or five cargo ships, as well as a secret dock terminal dedicated to loading secret cargo.

On the dock, there are more than a dozen docks capable of loading large cargo ships. Each dock is closely connected with a row of private warehouses. When the cargo ship arrives at the port, it will be dragged into the dock by the towing boat , And then the people in the dock will close the water gate of the entrance and completely close the dock.

　　Whether it is the cargo loaded on the ship or the cargo unloaded from the ship, they are transported back and forth from these closed docks and docks, and will not give outsiders any chance to spy.

Although the reason for the initial construction of such docks and docks was to facilitate cargo handling, but now these docks are almost used by various large chambers of commerce and nobles to transport smuggled goods. This kind of thing has become a large freight terminal. An open secret, but no one will tell the secret, because all those who tell the secret will eventually become a floating corpse at sea.

　　After Leo came to the place he had agreed with Jason, Jason led Leo to one of the docks.

On the way, Jason introduced the situation: "This dock belongs to Earl Ed of Essenburg. He also has a factory here. This terminal is dedicated to transporting raw materials and products of the factory," he said. He stopped here. He added: "Of course, this is just a statement to the outside world. In fact, this is the smuggling point of Earl Ed. Tobacco and tea shipped from Mozambique will be unloaded from this terminal, and then labeled with factory raw materials and delivered to Domestic sales, avoiding a lot of taxes that need to be paid."

　　 "Say the key." Leo said, looking at Jason who was a little verbose.

Jason smiled a bit and stepped into the headline: "Earl Ed's recent investments in Mozambique have all lost money, there has been a problem with the funds, and some debts have expired, which has forced him to sell some of the property for Mortgage debt, this dock dock and warehouse is one of the industries that are being sold, and the people who buy it have something to do with you."

　　 "Something to do with me?" Leo frowned.

　　 "Duke of Buckingham." Jason didn't sell the pass, and directly said the answer.

　　 "He." Leo just nodded blandly, without saying anything.

Jason was a bit disappointed with Leo's reaction, but he didn't get too tangled with it, but continued: “Since the Duke of Buckingham has bought the dock and warehouse, what was originally put on the warehouse and dock will naturally be taken. He came out and carried away, but a strange thing happened when my men moved the goods in one of the warehouses. He forgot to move things."

　　 "Forgot to move things?" Leo was stunned, looking at Jason a little puzzled.

"What should I say?" Jason seemed to know that Leo would have such a reaction, so he thought about it carefully and said, "I just forgot, they all forgot to move things! They should have gone to the warehouse and put the contents of the warehouse They moved out, but after they entered, they forgot to move things, and did nothing one by one, came out empty-handed. Did you understand this?"

　　 Leo thought for a moment and said, "You mean that there is something in the goods in that warehouse that affects your men and makes them forget what they have to do, right?"

　　 "Yes, yes, that's what it means!" Jason nodded again and again.

　　 got a positive response, Leo also became interested in this matter.

The horse-drawn carriage quickly reached the dock dock that Jason said, but now it is not as deserted as other dock docks. Instead, a lot of people gathered, and various quarrels came out from the crowd. It makes the silent dock very noisy.

　　 "What's going on? Are the boys drunk and making fun again?" After the carriage stopped, Jason went down to meet the manager of the dock and greeted him, and immediately asked.

"No, it's not our people." The manager explained immediately: "Not long after you left, two groups of people came to tell us that the ownership of this warehouse belongs to them. Now the quarreling person is them, we are just beside Just look busy."

　　 "Two groups of people? Who?" Jason raised his eyebrows and asked unpleasantly.

"One is the steward of the Duke of Buckingham, who is here to deal with the dock, and the other is an office called the Special Bureau. They want to take over the warehouse from the Duke of Buckingham, but the Duke of Buckingham does not allow it. Both parties It broke out at the door."

　　 "Damn it." Jason couldn't help cursing, then turned to Leo and smiled bitterly: "It seems that it's not our turn to solve it, shall we go back now?"

　　 "No need." Leo shook his head and said, "I want to see."

　　After speaking, Leo walked into the crowd on his own, squeezed into the center of the crowd with his physical strength, and saw the two sides facing each other.

I saw three people on the side of the special bureau. These three people happened to know Leo. Two of them were the two special bureau members who were seen at the death scene under Leo, and the other one was at the sacrifice ceremony. The special bureau member who appeared on the scene.

At the moment, the three men are confronting a dozen physiques. The physiques at a glance know that they are some battle-hardened warriors. Everyone has a bulging waist. It should be It is equipped with weapons, and one of them even emits a strong family atmosphere, but there are no family variant organs on the surface of the body.

The dozen or so physiques faced a middle-aged man with their former and three people. Although they looked completely different, Leo saw his butler from this middle-aged man, or more correctly This middle-aged man is imitating Sangers' butler's gestures, but the middle-aged man doesn't know that he imitates only a surface. There is no imitation in the inner temperament, so the whole looks strange.

"What are you doing?" Jason, who was following, walked from Leo's side to the confronting parties and said aloud: "Your behavior has affected our work. The handling here is based on the number of goods and the transportation. Calculated by the time, do you compensate for the wasted time and reduced income?"

Seeing Jason coming over, the people in the special bureau were first happy. People who thought that Jason was the special bureau would definitely be on their side, but when they heard Jason's words, their face became very ugly because They heard that Jason was obviously not on their side, but they also heard that Jason was not on the Duke of Buckingham.

　　 For ordinary people, the Duke of Buckingham is the first Duke of the Kingdom of England, and is one with the Kingdom of England, but for the upper levels of the Kingdom of England, the Duke of Buckingham and the Kingdom of England are completely two individuals.

Although the Buckinghamshire and the waters of Buckingham, where the Duke of Buckingham is located, are nominally the land of the Kingdom of England, in fact, this is completely private land of the Duke of Buckingham. No matter whether it is judicial or tax, it is not under the management of the Kingdom of England. There is even an independent army here, but this army has the name of a third legion of the Kingdom of England.

All along, the Parliament of the Kingdom of England has tried very hard to take the power of Buckingham County to the Kingdom. Unfortunately, the details of the Duke of Buckingham are too deep. Even the strength of the entire Kingdom of England can not be shaken. The territory of the Duke of Buckingham, unless the Kingdom of England is willing to have a devastating civil war, otherwise the Kingdom of England can only put the territory of the Duke of Buckingham in this state of full autonomy.

Although the Parliamentary Government of the Kingdom of England is unable to deal with the Duke of Buckingham in Buckinghamshire, they are able to restrict the development of the Duke of Buckingham within the Kingdom of England, and they are also quite effective. At least a few of the Duke of Buckingham cultivated within the Kingdom of England The forces were secretly removed.

But this is also limited to those forces secretly cultivated by the Duke of Buckingham who do not want to be known. When the Duke of Buckingham is making some business investment and invades the power circle of the Inge Kingdom from the business side, the Congress government is helpless. .

For example, this Duke of Buckingham's purchase of docks and docks, some people in the municipality who were inclined to Congress were originally prepared to stop this transaction, but in the end they did nothing, and only allowed Duke of Buckingham to be higher than others. The price bought this terminal, which once again strengthened its influence on Port Saite.

It's just that those people obviously didn't want to watch the Buckingham Duke receiving the dock like this. When they heard something weird happening in the warehouse integrated with the dock, they immediately mobilized the special bureau, using the anomaly as an excuse to blockade. The dock warehouse, even if it cannot be permanently blocked, can delay the time when the Duke of Buckingham receives the dock. This period of time can allow the congressional authorities to find out the true purpose of the Duke of Buckingham to purchase the dock and factory and prepare for countermeasures.

However, just like within the municipality, not everyone is on the side of the congressional government, and some are on the side of the Duke of Buckingham, so it will block the news to Jason and let Jason be an important dock. The person in charge did not receive any news in advance.

At this time, the person in charge sent by the Duke of Buckingham also frowned. Although he expected to encounter obstacles before coming here, he did not expect that it was the special bureau that hindered him. The dock warehouse he bought There was actually an item in the situation that triggered a situation, which was slightly beyond his ability.

　　Although there is no solution for the time being, he still wants to maintain the power of the Duke of Buckingham, so he said: "The warehouse has been bought by the Duke, and everything is Duke..."

"Wait, you seem to have made a mistake!" Jason suddenly interrupted each other and said, "If I remember correctly, the Duke of Buckingham bought only the dock and warehouse, not including the warehouse goods and the dock. Tools," he said, turning his head and shouting to the crowd: "Lip, when you signed the contract that day, you were one of the witnesses. Did the contract mention the goods in the warehouse?"

"Head, no." An old man with lame legs carried the briefcase out of the crowd. While walking, he took out a document from the briefcase and handed it to Jason. "This is a stub copy of the contract of the day." The transaction described above is only for warehouses and docks, and does not involve the goods inside."

　　 Jason took the file and flipped it through without looking at it. He passed it to the Duke of Buckingham and said, "Look at it yourself!"

　　 None of the middle-aged people received the documents because they knew the content of the contract better than Jason. The so-called attribution of the goods was just an excuse.

　　The middle-aged man said coldly, "Even if it does not belong to Lord Duke, but those things also belong to Lord Ed. Did your special bureau blockade the warehouse with the permission of Lord Earl?"

The members of the Special Bureau also argued: "Although we have not obtained the consent of Lord Earl, Congress has given us the power of the Special Bureau to block any..."

　　The middle-aged man interrupted the Special Bureau's words: “The Congress does give you the power to block abnormal items, but don't forget that your power is limited to ordinary people, and any aristocratic industry is not something you can block at will,”

　　 "You..." The special bureau also prepared to argue a few words.

"Okay!" Jason interrupted the two parties who were about to fall back into the quarrel again~www.mtlnovel.com~ Then looked at them and said, "I don't care how you deal with the things in there, I only hope there Something was taken away as soon as possible. My person was able to clear out the goods inside." Then, he thought about it for a moment and said, "So! Both of you have sent people in to find out what caused the incident. Whatever is then taken out, whoever takes it out, let it be saved."

　　 "How can this be?" Both sides were dissatisfied with Leo's crude and simple solution.

"That's it, I'm the person in charge here, and I have the final say." Jason yelled at the two sides angrily, and then looked at the two sides with contempt, and said, "If you can't even get things out, It means that you are not qualified, and still fight for a fart!"

　　 finished, motioned to watch the lively men next to open the warehouse door, and then walked aside, it seems to be waiting for both parties to decide who to send into the warehouse.

　　 "The three of us came together and naturally went in together." The few people in the special bureau could see that Jason had made a decision and would not change, so he asked.

　　 "We are the same." The Duke of Buckingham immediately said the same request.

　　 "Yes, you all just go in together." Jason nodded directly and suggested.
