Chapter four hundred and forty second unscrupulous
Ham Town is a town of not very small. On weekdays, many merchants will pass by here and do some business with the fishermen in the town to see if there are any unexpected gains.
With the safe haven bay, the fishing industry is still developed. Almost everyone in the locals can take advantage of the technology of fishing. Unless they rely on magic, no seafood can be transported from the place of origin.
What really attracts businessmen are Pearls.
Fishermen in Ham Town sometimes pick up pearl shells on the beach. A few years ago, a 10mm-sized golden pearl appeared here, which brought 4,000 gold coins to Ham Town!
Of course, the income of Ham Town is equivalent to the income of Sir Ham.
From the name of Ham Town, you can tell that this town is the territory of Sir Ham.
Sir Ham was once one of the pioneer knights enthroned by the Lord of Goethrim City, but the Knight Ham had a lot of skills and took less than fifteen years to change from Knight Ham to Sir Ham.
In Ham Town, people usually call him Mr. Ham. Ham, who is nearly fifty years old, usually lives in his mansion in Gothrim City, and only comes to the town to inspect every quarter.
As Sir Ham's main source of income, he also left a fifty-man private soldier in the town, which was basically his entire armed force.
The main job of these private soldiers is to maintain public order in the town, ensure the legitimate rights and interests of Mr. Ham, and prevent anyone from embezzling his pearls.
Any pearls picked up on the beach belong to Sir Ham!
Of course, the generous Sir Ham will reward the civilians who picked up pearls, five big silver coins!
It’s not that no one has ever had any wicked ideas in these years, but the people who are found will be tied to a stone on the ankles by soldiers and thrown into the sea to drown.
The businessmen who do business with him will also be punished. The bigger chamber of commerce will pay a considerable fine, and the smaller ones will be even worse. The soldiers don’t mind making guest appearances as robbers.
Apart from this, Sir Ham did not interfere much in the town.
This gives underground forces an opportunity to grow and grow, such as the Niujiao Gang.
A small gang formed by a group of cowherds led by an old mercenary who was injured and almost lost his combat effectiveness. On weekdays, they were also one of the eyeliners who helped those private soldiers stare at Pearl.
The Niujiao Gang has had a hard time recently. A group of outsiders who don’t know where they came from attacked the bar they usually have and beat the group of ‘coffees’ with wooden sticks.
Anderson walked from one end of the room to the other, looking at his men full of wounded soldiers, his face gloomy.
As the boss of the Niujiao Gang, Anderson was also a person who saw the world when he was young. If he hadn't been picked up by someone, he might have had the opportunity to become a professional.
"Head, those people have never seen before, dark skin and don't look like locals." A man with a bandage on his head said to Anderson: "They were a lot of people, and the brothers present at that time were outnumbered and there was no chance to fight back."
Anderson has seen those who attacked him in the past few days. The outsiders have good combat power. Although most of them seem to be rookies, their strength is not inferior to their good boys in terms of fighting.
The most important thing is that there was no movement in the guard station in the center of the town, which made Anderson a little confused.
Their Niujiao Gang will share half of the benefits every month and hand them over to the soldiers who do nothing every day in order to buy peace.
This money not only includes their income from extortion and loans to collect protection fees, but also includes their regular income from running a ranch. The nobles who are used to eating sea fish have always loved these red meats, so the price is also good.
But now the Guards have made clear their attitude. When this incident has not happened, Anderson is worried that the outsiders have colluded with the Guards.
Most of the subordinates were injured, with a mild nose, a bruised face, and a severe injury, but no one died. It seemed that the other party was also concerned, but this could not change the situation where Anderson was no longer available.
"Khartis Gang!" Anderson muttered the twisting name: "Who are you?"
Suddenly, a subordinate who had been sent out to inquire about the news ran in a hurry. He shouted happily without even breathing, "Boss Anderson! Good news, good news!"
Anderson asked quickly, "What's going on?"
"Those outsiders were taught a lesson in the port!" The young man couldn't wait to share what he saw: "Two fishing boats met those outsiders when they returned to the port. The people on both sides didn't know what they said, and they started fighting in just a few words."
"No, it's not that the fight started. Those outsiders were beaten by a bald head in strange armor and pissed off!" The young man organized a speech: "When I saw it, five people would not survive, and several others had broken arms and legs. It was so miserable!"
The room was bustling now. Although there were murders in Ham Town on weekdays, it was the first time that so many people died in broad daylight.
Goethrim City is different from Anthony Harbor. This city was built much shorter than Anthony Harbor. The first lord was still alive and managed the territory in order.
Moreover, there are no dangerous areas such as the Black Forest where warcraft gather, so the living environment is much better. The only threat is that the ship occasionally encounters pirates from the Youtonheim outside the sea.
But that was all the troubles of the captains and had little to do with the local residents. The Youtonheims never risked landing to plunder the small towns on the shore.
Their boat has a deeper waterline and is not suitable for docking on the shore and is prone to stranding.
"Let's go and see what's going on." Anderson asked the rash subordinate to lead the way, and led two combat-capable people to the harbor together.
In his heart, Anderson was a little excited. Listening to the story of his subordinate, these outsiders must have annoyed an extraordinary person of great level.
Anderson's biggest regret in his life was not able to become an extraordinary person.
When Anderson arrived at the port, the people who were particularly capable of fighting had left the place, but the bodies and wounded left him were still there.
There were far more than five corpses. After a glance at the port, Anderson saw no less than ten corpses, most of which were twisted off their necks and stretched their tongues, and a few had their throats cut with a scimitar.
Anderson's hand was shaking slightly. How many years have he not seen such an unscrupulous person?
