town Hall.
Gritsis looked at Chenisaro in front of him coldly.
Chenisaro was puzzled at first, but before he could get there, the officer called him over.
Without saying anything, he kept staring at him.
This made him feel a little nervous.
After a few minutes, he couldn't bear it anymore and sweat began to form on his vest and forehead.
"My lord, do you have any orders?"
Chenisaro asked cautiously and stammered.
It was no wonder that Cenisaro was not careful.
Although the mayor of Constantinople was only a mayor, he was also the mayor of the capital.
He was not only in charge of the entire government affairs and personnel power of the municipal system of Constantinople, but also in charge of part of the military. , the power of judicial interpretation, and the judges are all his subordinates.
This is a truly important minister.
After several minutes, Gritsis asked: "I heard that your men closed down the Qin's Trading Company in Western Qin.
Is this true?"
"I've never heard of Qin's Trading Company in the Western Qin Dynasty."
Chenisaro was confused and confused.
"Touch" Gritsis stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, stared at Chenissaro and said coldly: "You are pretending to be confused."
Chenisaro really felt that he had been wronged and said quickly: "Sir, I really don't know about this matter.
Besides, it's just a trivial matter for the people below to seal a business store.
They don't need to report it to me.
How can I?"
Can know" Gritches grabbed the other person's clothes and said, "You really don't know."
"Sir, if I dare to lie, you will remove me directly.
I really didn't know about this matter."
Chenisaro hurriedly defended.
He immediately came back to his senses and asked: "Sir, this is just an incident.
It’s such a small matter, why did it come to you?”
"It's a trivial matter."
Griches let go of Cenisaro's clothes and walked out from behind the desk and said, "You think it's a trivial matter.
Liu Chongwen, the envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty, even went to the Foreign Minister.
As long as Liu Chongwen comes forward, Nothing is trivial, you understand?
I listen The person behind this incident is Viscount Chitra.
Do you know what kind of virtue this woman is?
I don’t care whether you know about this incident or not.
Go back immediately and order the seal to be broken.
You are not allowed to approach Qin anymore.
Do you understand the troubles caused by the trading company?"
"It turns out it's her."
Chenissaro was suddenly startled, and immediately leaned over and whispered: "Sir" Gritsis felt disgusted and pushed him away: "You have bad breath?
Stay away from me."
Chenisaro looked very embarrassed, took two steps back, and immediately whispered: "Sir, this woman is indeed a bit like that, but I heard that she has a close relationship with the man in the palace.
If If she withdraws and breaks the seal, won't she offend her?
Sir, you have a high position, so of course you are not afraid of her, but I am a lowly official and I cannot afford to offend her."
Gritsis stared, "You can't offend her, how can you offend me?"
"Pa" Chenisaro slapped himself hard and quickly begged for mercy: "Sir, the villain deserves to die.

The villain said something wrong.
You and that woman are both big shots.
I can't even afford to offend you."
Gritsis pointed at Chenisaro and cursed: "You are just a pig.
I really hate myself for promoting you in the first place.
Now the Western Qin Kingdom is so powerful that even the emperor and the empress dowager dare not provoke them.
Every time Liu Chongwen, the envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty, entered the palace, the emperor and the empress dowager would be surprised.
I am worried about offending him and giving Western Qin an excuse to send troops to attack us.
Now that Liu Chongwen has come forward personally, it shows that this matter is not a trivial matter.
At this time, you idiots are still helping that woman to attack us.
People are looking for trouble.
If something happens, do you want to I think the one who will be unlucky in the end is you little shrimps or that woman Serdot.
So what if you offend her?
Your boss is me.
Without my consent, who can do anything to you?
She is just a viscount with no official position.
Even if she has such a relationship with the man in the palace, what's the point?
Why use that kind of relationship?
It's still secretive.
I've told you very clearly.
You have only two choices.
Either withdraw the person, break the seal, and apologize to them, or I will withdraw now.
For your position, find someone else to take your place, it’s your choice.”
Chenisaro was not a fool.
Gritches had already analyzed it very clearly for him.
If he still didn’t know how to choose, it would be hopeless.
He immediately saluted and said: "Sir, I know what to do.
You Just wait for my news.”
Not long after, the seal of Qin's Trading Company's warehouse was removed by an official from the Fire Corps.
The official also took someone to the office to apologize to Qin Zipeng and others, stating that this was just a misunderstanding and would never happen again in the future. .
Viscount Chitra's Mansion.
The housekeeper rubbed his hands and walked anxiously around the door, looking down the street from time to time.
Seldot's carriage finally stopped at the gate of the mansion.
She came back from the palace secretly, and she didn't take the main gate, but the secret passage from the palace to the arena.
No one would find her walking here, even though she and Jun Constantine has been dating for several years, and their relationship is well known to most citizens of Constantinople, but most people only hear about it and have never actually seen the two of them together, so the market's reaction is also Fairly normal if they If they dare to be together openly, the consequences will be serious, because she is a widow, and this status makes her very embarrassed.
She can marry anyone, and people will not have any objections, but if she dares to marry the emperor, this will It will bring shame to the royal family and the entire empire.
People will definitely tear her into pieces.
This is not the most terrifying thing.
What is even more terrifying is that the emperor's prestige will drop to the lowest point, because people simply cannot accept such immoral behavior in the royal family. scandal.
With the help of the maid, Seldot stepped down from the carriage, and the housekeeper immediately greeted him: "Madam, you are back."
Seldot glanced at the butler, said nothing, and continued to move forward until he approached the mansion before saying: "Looking at your face, something must have happened again.
Tell me."
The housekeeper immediately said: "Madam, all official actions against Qin's Trading Company have stopped, and all the seals have been removed.
I heard that there are still people going to apologize to the principal of Qin's Trading Company."
Seldot stopped, turned to look at the housekeeper, his face turned cold, and asked: "What's going on?"

The housekeeper said: "Madam, I have already sent someone to inquire.
Only when someone from a higher level has spoken can these actions against Qin's Trading Company be stopped.
I have thought about it and want to stop all these official offices."
The person responsible for the action against Qin's Trading Company can only be the mayor."
"Griches" Serdot gritted his teeth.
It would be absolutely terrifying for a woman to hate someone.
"Yes, it must be him.
Only he can order so many government agencies to stop operations at the same time.
Only he can control the fate of these government officials.
They can only listen to him."
After the housekeeper finished speaking, he asked cautiously: "Madam, why don't you go and tell the emperor?"
Seldot's expression changed, and he turned to look at the housekeeper, his face even more terrifying, "Why do you mean that I went to him for such a trivial matter and the emperor can only deal with such nonsense?"
The housekeeper was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and slapped himself repeatedly, begging for mercy: "Madam, please forgive me.
I was wrong.
I deserve to die.
Madam, please see that I am loyal to my wife and to the Viscount House."
For my sake, spare this villain’s life.”
Seldot approached the butler and said coldly: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you into the arena to duel with the beast.
Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, the villain knows about you.
I won't dare to do it anymore."
The steward kept kowtowing.
"stand up" "Yes, Mrs.
Xie."
The housekeeper immediately got up.
Seldot looked into the distance with a gloomy face, not knowing what she was thinking.
Everyone else could only stand motionless, not daring to say a word.
"This matter cannot be settled.
Since it cannot be solved with official power, it can only be solved secretly.
In short, I cannot let all the businessmen in Constantinople know how miserable the consequences will be if they offend me.
You look for someone, I don’t care who you look for, no matter how much money you spend, I will make the Qin’s Trading Company office and all of them disappear within three days."
The housekeeper was shocked and immediately agreed: "Yes, ma'am."
That night, the butler was wearing a black cloak.
The cloak covered his whole body, and most of his face was covered.
He took a carriage and came to a remote alley in the city, at the door of a grocery store in the alley.
Stop before.
There was a faint light on the window of the grocery store, and the house seemed quiet.
The housekeeper got off the carriage and came to the door and knocked.
After a while, the door of the grocery store opened, and the light shone out from the house.
A man wearing gray linen cloth An old man with clothes, disheveled hair, and face covered with old wrinkles appeared in the door.
The old man asked: "It's so late, what do the guests want to buy?"
The butler deliberately changed his voice and asked, "Can I go in and choose?"
"Of course, guests please," the old man said, stepping aside to let the butler in, and then closed the door when the butler approached.
When they arrived at the house, the old man said to the housekeeper: "These are the only things in the grocery store.
Guests can choose whatever they want."

The butler took out a small black cloth bag and threw it over.
The bag fell on the table next to him and made a loud bang.
It was the crisp sound of coins colliding.
The old man stretched out his hand to take the small cloth bag, and opened the tight rope at the mouth of the bag.
Some gold coins inside shone under the light.
The old man raised his head and still said in his old voice: "Guest, I am just a grocery store here.
Even if you put this The store and all the goods together are not worth so much money.
What do you want to buy?"
The steward said: "Buy a life."
The old man's expression changed, "Guest, you are in the wrong place.
This is a grocery store, not the execution ground or the guillotine."
