Resurrection Empire

Ju Qingmeng shook his head again and again, "It's not what you said, how can you excuse me like this."

Although she said so, her mood quickly calmed down.

After all, he has been in charge of the highest administrative power of the Chifeng clan for many years under heavy responsibilities, and Ju Qingmeng has already experienced many storms and waves, so he is not really weak.

Ren Zhong shook his head again, touched her face, "It's not an excuse, I'm just stating the facts."

"Forget it, let's think about how to get through this difficult time." Ju Qingmeng frowned and thought for a moment, then said again: "Actually, the evidence presented by both sides is beneficial to us. Next, we only need to fully implement your original plan." Naturally, the plan can turn defeat into victory. But with the addition of Baron Han Zhixin, the decision of the chief court may not be so reasonable, right?"

Ren Zhong responded, "Yes. So the situation only looks troublesome, but it doesn't hurt the bones. It's not difficult to open the situation. I have a way."

Ju Qingmeng was shocked, "How to say?"

"You still don't know much about the imperial system, so you don't understand how powerful it is. According to conventional cognition, the higher the title, the innate absolute power to suppress it. If it wasn't for Nanxiang uncle Liu'an to get in the way, it just happened to be involved In the battle on the front line, Han Zhixin's complaint will not be filed at all. Let alone some unintentional mistakes caused by some commercial mistakes, even if our fleet accidentally fired a star destroyer, destroying Han Zhixin's planet. It was bombed and caused the loss of life, which is not a big deal to me, an imposing earl. The big deal is to deduct some combat achievements, but I am still an earl. As for the frontline defeat that was used to make a big fuss, since Han Zhixin A baron's family property is enough to pay, which naturally shows that it is not a particularly great loss, and it is still within the acceptable range."

"Now, as long as I, the dignified earl, lower my face, publicly review myself, bow my head to the baron Han Zhixin, admit his mistakes, and plead guilty. Even if Han Zhixin is still dissatisfied, he still has to accept my apology. As for Liu An's plot , but most of them will be invalidated due to the intervention of other high-ranking nobles in the empire."

Ju Qingmeng was stunned at first, and asked, "Why do other high-ranking nobles intervene as soon as you apologize?"

Ren Zhong smiled, "The reason is very simple. They have to maintain the absolute oppression of the earl and even the upper class over the lower nobles. This is something in the heart of the people, but it also involves the root of the empire's rule. Today, the earl because of Business disputes are forced to bow their heads to apologize to the baron, and these people will think, will they have such a day in the future? If they really want to become high-ranking nobles, who hasn't told stories about oppressing others? Just look at Nanxiang Boliu You will know how Ann rectifies the Augustus family."

Ju Qingmeng hummed, but then heaved a long sigh, "It's all my fault. I made you want to let go of your dignity."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "No. I'll say it first, the source is me. Whether it's because of the child, or I was the one who made the plan, I should be the first responsible person. At the same time, you are mine. Woman, as your man, shouldn't it be natural for you to take responsibility for you? Thirdly, Han Zhixin's family was indeed almost killed and injured because of this incident, and the prosperous baronial family that can turn around with a good look is almost implicated The family was exterminated. The total death toll was as high as tens of thousands. Although they were not members of the Chifeng tribe, they were still human. I should have apologized to him. As for dignity, it doesn’t matter. If you make a mistake, you will be beaten If you are beaten, you must stand at attention. If you are right in everything, you must bow your head. That is called letting go of your dignity. Now this is not counted. This apology, I am upright, but I can comfort myself a little bit. As for the other people in the Nanxiang star cluster and even the empire I don't really care what Uncle Chi Feng thinks of me."

After finishing speaking, Ren Zhong asked Ju Qingmeng to continue to freeze and sleep, and he started to record a video himself.

In this video, Uncle Chi Feng, who is quite mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, went out of the country in person, deeply reviewed his mistakes, extended his most sincere apology to the Baron Han Zhixin's family, and expressed his condolences to the people of the empire who died in accidents. Deepest condolences.Not only that, but Ren Zhong publicly promised that he would pay three times the compensation for Baron Han Zhixin's loss.

In the end, Ren Zhong generously admitted the quality problems of the previous invisible paint, self-examination should not hastily release immature products to the market.

But now that the problem has been solved, Chi Feng himself personally promised and proposed the solution as follows.

If the purchaser can't get over this hurdle, the Chifeng Commerce Department will refund twice.

If the purchaser is willing to continue to give Chi Feng Xing a chance, he will fully recall the defective products and send field personnel to various places to repaint them.

This time, the new paint will be able to run stably for 5000 years and provide high insurance.

Not only that, buyers who are willing to accept the second condition will enjoy a [-]% discount permanently in the future.

As soon as Ren Zhong said this, the entire star cluster was in an uproar.

The whole empire was in an uproar.

Chapter 527 The Soldier Without Fighting

No one can remember the last time the Earl of the Empire made a public apology to a mere baron with no background.

Looking through the history books, looking at the long and long history of the Machine Empire, it can be said that Uncle Chi Feng's actions are rare.

In short, as Chifeng Uncle Renzhong in the eyes of the world personally put down his dignity and publicly apologized to the baron Han Zhixin without any scruples, the limelight of public opinion that was originally unfavorable to Chifeng star was reversed in an instant.

I don't know if it's really what the people want or if there is another force secretly entering the field to control the comments. For a while, whether it is the public opinion circle inside the Nanxiang star cluster or the public opinion outside the circle formed by the people who pay attention to this matter in the entire empire, there are various opinions. Few people stood up and praised Uncle Chi Feng for his courage.

Soon, the young Baron Han Zhixin also made an unexpected move, explaining the cause and effect of this incident clearly.

It turned out that only then did outsiders know that Han Zhixin was only twelve years old when he went to Chifeng Star alone to buy paint.At that time, the Baron Han family was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Seeing his pity, the chief administrator of Chifeng Star felt sorry for him, and simply gave him half the price of the first batch of freshly baked finished products, and also extended the payment cycle.

The prosperous development of the Han clan in the past few decades all depended on the unconditional support given to him by Chi Fengxing back then.

As for why Chi Fengxing failed to give an early warning before the paint of the Han's caravan failed, Han Zhixin himself gave an explanation.Because Uncle Nanxiang is very powerful, and he is clearly suppressing and blocking Uncle Chifeng, more than [-] kinds of commercial sanctions involving various aspects have been imposed on Chifeng Star.Ju Qingmeng, the ruler of Chifeng Star, did not put this order in the directory of the Ministry of Commerce out of the motive of protecting the young boy baron, and never publicized it.Even though he knew that supporting a dying baron family was a great advertisement, Chi Fengxing voluntarily gave up this interest, the purpose was only to protect the buyer.

Going forward, Chi Feng Bo Renzhong also clearly pointed out in the self-review announcement that he had already noticed this disadvantage a few years ago, and immediately started to develop and improve to correct the defect, and just finished the technology in the last two months. Iteration, we are working overtime to stock up the goods, and after the preparations are well planned, we will proactively contact all buyers for recall and compensation.

But even Uncle Chi Feng never thought that the first real buyer of invisible paint was nearly ten years ahead of schedule.

In the end, all these factors came together to lead to tragedy by accident.

Han Zhixin said that after the initial anger, he has now calmed down, fully accepted the apology from the heavy responsibility, and also took the initiative to self-reflect, saying that the whole incident cannot be entirely blamed on Uncle Chi Feng, and he himself has a lot of responsibility .

He even expressed his deep gratitude to Earl Ren Zhong for his public apology, and then changed his style, admitting that now his Han family is completely bankrupt, the fiefdom is gone, the title has also been reduced to a lifelong baron, and there is no way to go down. The door simply rented a small transport team with the remaining millions of people and people, intending to set off immediately, cross the space passage, and come to seek refuge with the Chifeng tribe across a distance of more than ten light-years, only begging to be taken in, Don't wish for nothing.

As for the lawsuit against Chifengxing, it was naturally withdrawn by Han Zhixin himself at the speed of light. There was no out-of-court settlement process, and the compensation from Chifengxing was not yet in place.

Han Zhixin's resolute statement surprised many people.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the Yuanxing Fleet arrived in the Nanxiang star cluster and took root. This Han clan is also the first external force that the entire clan has taken refuge in.

Although the Han family is now down and out, at least Han Zhixin still has the title of lifelong baron on his head, and Yu Meng, the hereditary title of military merit in the past, as long as he holds his ground and cherishes his life, there is always a chance to get back the hereditary title.

In short, in just ten standard imperial hours, the situation has changed dizzyingly.

Leaving aside the change in Baron Han Zhixin's side, the situation in the chief court also took a turn for the worse.

Jin Simin, who was instructed by Ren Zhong, immediately presented new evidence. It was the detailed research and development process of the Chifeng Academy of Sciences to use its strong technical capabilities to update the product after "discovering" the problem with the first version of the invisible paint.

As soon as this thing was put out, it was immediately finalized.

The service life of invisible paint has been extended from more than 5000 years to [-] years. It seems that it is only a quantitative change, but it is actually a qualitative change. The internal structure of the most core macromolecules has undergone fundamental changes, just like graphite and diamond, which are both simple substances of carbon. Same.

As for the improvement process of Chifeng Academy of Sciences, it is mysterious, but it is not complicated in fact. It is just to adjust the food formula of the mutated Star Destroyer Ant to change the nature of its secretions.

As soon as these evidences were presented, the Augustus Academy of Sciences was dumbfounded on the spot.

The public opinion field in the Nanxiang star cluster is also completely reversed.

As for Liu An himself, it is not so easy to play tricks on the court and fool the world.

As Ren Zhong said, he saw through the essence of imperial politics.

High-ranking nobles have already started to check the matter in person, and explicitly warned Liu An not to cross the line, and not to shake the majesty of the Earl of the Empire at will.

No matter how shallow the foundation of Uncle Chifeng's heavy responsibilities, he is still a genuine earl certified by the royal family.

As the core class of the imperial nobility, the earl should naturally have its majesty.

If things get serious, if everyone in the Mechanical Empire sees that a dignified earl is being oppressed in this way, it may even shake the structural stability of the empire's power pyramid, causing endless troubles.

Liu An was so frightened that his head was covered with cold sweat, he quickly withdrew his magic power.

The chief justice and the jury, who had their butts turned to the sky, immediately transformed into the embodiment of fairness and integrity, and began to treat the witnesses and physical evidence of both parties more rigorously.

Naturally, there is nothing to say now. The Southern Ninth Viscount Gruen Augustus was quickly sentenced to lose. In addition to bearing all the arbitration costs, he had to publicly apologize to Bo Chi Feng. That was all, and in the end There is actually a title of reputation damage fee in the verdict.

This is not a big deal, but the reputation loss of the dignified earl is an astronomical figure that is completely unbearable for the Augustus clan of Nanjiu Viscount, who has now run out of ammunition and food.

This is not finished.

Yet another lawsuit came.

The plaintiff of this lawsuit is the mysterious consortium that has been supporting Augustus, and the defendant is Gruen Augustus himself and his family.

The representative of the other party also went to court, took out the mortgage contract in black and white, clearly pointed out that Augustus was unable to perform the contract, and it was impossible to repay the loan funds within five years, and asked the court to immediately declare Augustus bankrupt and release the mortgage. Assets are fully offset against liabilities.

Gruen pointed at the other party angrily, and was about to say something to struggle, but saw the big butler of the consortium who had met once turned his head and bowed to Jin Simin to say hello, and introduced himself: "Mr. Jin Simin, Chief Executive Officer, hello , I am Chen Guohua, general manager of Chifeng Capital."

Jin Simin was a little stunned at first, but soon realized, and immediately laughed, "Hello, General Manager Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

These two people sang together here, how could Gruen not understand that he had been fooled, but he still couldn't figure it out, "Chen Guohua, you... who are you?"

Hearing this, Chen Guohua turned his head, but took out an instrument, and used micro-current stimulation to walk around quickly on his face. The shape of his face changed slightly, but some familiar features appeared again.

Gruen recognized him at a glance, pointed at him and asked, "What's your relationship with Chen Yinghua, the general manager of Yuanxing Commercial Transport?"

"Chen Yinghua is my father." Chen Guohua replied without hesitation: "When Marshal Zheng laid down the foundation of Broken Star Ring, someone had to go to help manage the property, so I asked Lord Earl to leave Chifeng Star and go deep into the interstellar space. First contact with many foreign diplomatic organizations in Chifeng Star, each of them established a small trade finance company, and then merged into a large consortium, tentatively named Qunxing Commercial, and then began to absorb the funds provided by the expeditionary army in the Broken Star Ring, which had already recuperated. A lot of aboriginal capital, with a lot of money in your hands. Since you, Viscount Nanjiu, have assets to sell, but we have a lot of money to return to the imperial business system, it is only natural for us to eat your assets. Of course , The last act of breaking the contract was your own fault, Viscount Nanjiu Gruen, no one to blame."

Taking advantage of this fair and serious court situation, and the natural enthusiasm brought by the live broadcast of the trial, the foreign capital trick that Ren Zhong had been throwing out was finally born.

All of a sudden, many people in the Nanxiang star cluster who had been kept from the information came to their senses. No wonder the activity of space pirates has declined significantly in recent years. The idle hands that were left outside took a drastic drudgery and integrated them into a united and unified force.

Many people in the Nanxiang star cluster had always thought that Uncle Chi Feng was oppressed by Uncle Nanxiang Liu An, but now they realized that Uncle Chi Feng's methods were more terrifying than imagined, and his background was also unfathomable.

The judge over there saw that this grand court trial had turned into a ridiculous occasion for Uncle Chi Feng's forces to advertise for him, so he quickly summarized all the information and made a final decision.

Augustus was immediately declared bankrupt, right in court.

Immediately afterwards, multiple chain reactions followed one after another.

Finally, he lifted the veil on his face, revealing his true identity, but Chifeng Capital also openly settled in, and announced to take over all the property and title of Viscount Nanjiu, and began to openly invite investment.

Gruen Augustus in the courtroom stared at everyone in the courtroom with his eyes wide open, his lips trembling violently.

He pointed at Jin Simin for a while, pointed at Chen Guohua angrily for a while, and glared at the judge again, but he didn't know who to scold.

Chapter 528 Struggling

Suddenly, Gruen Augustus woke up like a dream and realized something.

When Gruen saw that the situation was not good, he decisively killed his father and brother to make a living for himself, and even endured the burden to turn the crisis of genocide into an opportunity for prosperity. This has already proved that he is not a real fool.

Now that he was dealt the final fatal blow in court, and suddenly fell from a promising upstart viscount to a downcast in a run-down family, Gruen quickly replayed the past ten years in his mind. Bit by bit, how can I still not know the joints.

He roared in the court, "You bastard! Uncle Chifeng is so insidious, cunning and despicable to the extreme, it really hurts the honor of the nobles of the empire! This is a trap, a trap from beginning to end! Saila! Vettel! I killed you……"

Jin Simin, who was standing opposite Gruen, had received heavy instructions in advance, and faced Gruen's futile roar of dying struggle, he didn't hide it. , but if you hadn’t coveted the private property of my Chifeng family, how could you jump into this pit of fire? Don’t reverse the causal relationship. Also, have you ever thought about whether there is a kind of Perhaps, the honorable Uncle Nanxiang saw the matter clearly early in the morning, but in fact, he reached an understanding with my earl long ago. The exchange condition for the understanding is the honor of your Augustus family? Otherwise, with the great How could Uncle Nanxiang not be able to find out the relationship between the Chifeng Consortium and the Chifeng Star because of his control over the military and political hub?"

At this point in the conversation, even Liu An, who was watching the trial from a distance, wanted to scold Jin Simin for his audacity. A mere commoner dared to speculate on the minds of high-ranking nobles, and even dared to force his guesses on his Nanxiang Bo.

But everyone understands the truth, all things in the world are result-only, judging from the results, it seems that he, Liu An and Chi Feng Bo Ren Zhong are really connected in series, playing with the Nanjiu Viscount family in the dead zone.

But the strange thing is that even though Jin Simin said it himself, the real outsider will feel that Jin Simin is talking nonsense, complaining for Uncle Nanxiang in his heart, and knows that Jin Simin's intention is only to punish and beat Gruen. It was just a final blow to this man's heart.

Because the vast majority of people in the Nanxiang star cluster actually know that it was Liu An himself who excluded the Broken Star Ring from the economic system of the Nanxiang star cluster. It is reasonable to see the source of funds of the Chifeng Consortium backed by the original pirate assets.

But Gruen Augustus, who was right in front of him, couldn't see it as clearly as the outsiders at this time, and he believed it instead. Suddenly there were big drops of sweat, and a mouthful of endless resentment rose from his heart, and it went straight up and blocked his throat, and there was another hoo hoo, he had difficulty breathing, and his body slid limply on the ground.

It's a pity that Gruen originally planned to send an order to the South Nine b Star from the air, so that the family guards there would quickly execute the two super traitors, Saila and Vettel, but before he even had time to formally issue the order, he became furious on the spot , passed out.

Gruen was not pissed off after all.

With his life-saving temperament, it's not easy to piss himself off, but he is particularly good at using fainting to avoid pain.

When he woke up again, he was already lying in a dilapidated small hotel in a border town on the main administrative planet.

Gruen immediately grabbed the hand of the last loyal servant beside him, and repeatedly asked about the situation of the South Nine Galaxy, asking if he had already killed the two confidantes, Sierra Augustus and Werther Hatton, who were both inside and outside.

Unexpectedly, this loyal servant told him in tears that as early as the beginning of the trial, Saila himself, Vetter Hatton and the Hatton family had been taken to the South Ninth Nine by a large group of powerful professionals with unknown origins. The d star is defended.

As for the guards of the Viscount's Mansion on Nanjiu d Star, they have been infiltrated to a great extent in the past few years. They neither listen to the tune nor listen to the announcement, and they don't go to surround Saila and the Hutton family for a while. In the compound, on the contrary, only another layer of defense circle was built outside the guard circle of the mysterious guards.

The commander of the viscount mansion's guard explained to the outside world that these mysterious guards are all very powerful, at least they are also elite fighters in the imperial army, also known as super-level professionals. Once they really fight, let alone the city where the compound is located, I'm afraid that the surface environment of Nanjiu d star may not be able to bear it, and there will inevitably be a lot of life and death.

Of course, everyone knows that this is an excuse, but the truth of the matter is that the families of most of the generals and soldiers in these guards are now working in companies under the Chifeng Consortium. Liang, but he is already a member of the Chifeng Consortium in his bones.

Even the situation in the private fleet of the Nanjiu Viscount's Mansion was the same, so the order of the desperate Gruen brother to let the fleet bombard the surface of the planet was pushed back on the spot.

After a little delay, the chief court's ruling that the Nanjiu Viscount's Mansion lost the lawsuit arrived through the information flow network. The Augustus family lost power on the spot, and even the title was sold. Even the title of knighthood has become the property of the Chifeng Consortium, and Gruen only has the post of chief of the military and political department of the South Nine Galaxy, which will soon be lost.

Then, the matter of killing Saila and Vettel has completely become a dream, and there is no way to talk about it.

"Master Viscount, not only that, but during the seven or eight hours you fainted, the Chifeng Consortium first took over all the industries, even the Academy of Sciences and its most core large factories, and many ancient People from the Stu family even changed their surnames, some changed their surnames to Chen, some changed their surnames to Zheng, and some changed their surnames to Ma, but most of them changed their surnames to Ren. I declared my allegiance to Uncle Chifeng’s new offices on many planets. As for those foreigners whose surname was not Augustus, they ran faster. Also, the big brother who came back from Uncle Nanxiang with you Ma'am, I have... already left the galaxy with your eldest son, saying that I am going back to the Liu family's ancestral star to settle down."

The servant explained the current situation in detail, how could Gruen Augustus not know that he had suffered a complete betrayal, and almost fainted again.

Afterwards, Gruen asked the loyal servant to go to the nearest canteen to buy a brand new watch, so that he could calculate how much assets he still had.

It is hateful to say that Chen Guohua, the general manager of the Chifeng Consortium, was so insane. He only used the mortgage contract as the basis, and in court, he had all the assets of Gruen, the viscount, wiped out, and he didn't even have a watch. Leave.It is said that if the bailiffs hadn't stopped him, Chen Guohua would have even wanted his employees to strip Gruen of his clothes, taking away Gruen's last dignity.

As for now, fortunately, this loyal servant was not in court at the time, and only took care of the small foreign affairs industry of Nanjiu Viscount's Mansion here on the main administrative star, and watched the live broadcast of the court hearing remotely, and got wind that there was an economic law enforcement team preparing for it. He came to search the house to confiscate the assets, quickly rolled up some soft assets in the small villa and fled, and then asked some friends he knew before to pawn part of the assets, so that Gruen would not be reduced to Sleeping Street. Stay in a hotel.As for why the old servant chose this dilapidated small hotel, it was mainly because he was afraid of attracting too much attention and making people realize that he still had money in his hands, that's all.

After waiting for nearly two hours, the loyal servant sneaked in like a thief and handed Gruen a brand new unregistered wristwatch.

Gruen put it on anxiously, and then logged on to his tiger head for inspection. After looking at it, he almost passed out again.

Thanks to the super-communication capabilities brought about by information flow technology and the fact that everything is connected to the Internet, the chief court ransacked Augustus's house quite thoroughly.

Regardless of how many ambushes and idle chess the Augustus family has arranged outside during these ten thousand years, they have all been uprooted. Gruen's private account has long been empty in the family account, and it has been looted more than a monk's head. Clean, really nothing left.

"It's so deceiving! His earl's face is face, and my viscount's face is not face? It's only one rank higher, so why is there such a big difference? Besides, the title of my viscount Nanjiu was given by my ancestors with their hard work. In exchange, why should it be voided by me with just a contract! Why?"

Gruen Augustus roared and cursed wildly in the room again.

The loyal old servant dared not speak, but could only wipe away his tears secretly.

When he finally got enough of scolding, Gruen slowly collected his emotions, and then said to himself: "Forget it, I deserve it. Although there are few precedents, I did sign those contracts, and I am willing to admit defeat. Since you are a gambler in the end, you should have the awareness to admit defeat. How do you say that word? Oh, yes, I am not as good as others. But I, Augustus, have been passed down for thousands of years, so how can I not have a second hand? .He, Uncle Chifeng, has territory in the Broken Star Ring, but I, Augustus, don't?"

Just when Gruen was half talking to himself, and half was trying to keep the last loyal servant at bay, someone knocked on the door of the small hotel, which startled the two masters and servants inside.
