For a wealthy man like Mr. Hyde, it is obviously not his interest to deceive the rich people everywhere in Nangang, because he is much richer than these rich people, and he can also rely on business contacts to slowly squeeze their wealth. With Ribo's understanding of Mr. Hyde's genius management strategy, Ribo is completely sure that Mr. Hyde can definitely do all this.

Therefore, the target of fraud could only be those nobles. In the hands of Francis, a large amount of wealth gathered in the hands of those nobles, and they had countless manors under their names, which gave them a fixed and huge wealth to maintain their luxurious life.

These wealthy nobles also have a large collection of precious art and jewelry and crafts, and Francis’ most fertile land undoubtedly belongs to them.

In addition, there are abundant minerals in the territory of some nobles.

Copper and lead mines can make a wealthy nobleman worth millions.

If silver mines were discovered, then there would be no doubt that there would be a wealth of tens of millions.

Although once a gold mine is discovered, the ownership of the gold mine will be taken away by His Majesty the King, the mining rights will belong to the owner of the territory.

Five percent of the gold mine income allowed the wealthy nobles to obtain tens of millions of Francis income even if they did not make trouble in their accounts.

What's more, finding that gold mines are hidden and unreported, or doing some tricks in the process of accounts, smelting, and casting of gold is enough to make these wealthy nobles a wealthy and wealthy rich and wealthy rich.

Therefore, Francis’ wealthy nobles are undoubtedly the richest group.

If Mr. Hyde wants to make an idea, he will definitely target those wealthy nobles.

Moreover, it is obvious that Eckert trained himself in this way, and he wanted to train himself into a nobleman.

However, why aren't the arrogant and arrogant children of wealthy families, but instead train themselves to become a mature and destitute noble descendant, but try to inspire the noble children of the family.

Although they are both nobles, these two nobles do not belong to the same class at all. What is the medicine sold in Mr. Hyde's gourd?

Ruibo felt a little confused.

The sun was so high that it was gradually tilting westward. Ruibo, who was a little distracted, rode back to the manor on his horse, it was already afternoon.

He led the horse to the door of the manor, and before he could hear the doorbell hanging on the porch, Ribola.

The door opened by itself, and Mr. Butler walked out with a smile.

‘I’m glad that our little magician is back, is the journey a pleasant one?’

This greeting shocked Ruibo. How could Mr. Butler know all this?

Could it be that Mr. Masque had visited Mr. Hyde?

I guess this is true. Teacher Masque, Mr. Hyde and Mr. Dowfen are familiar with each other. They should have worked together for a while and know each other very well.

Moreover, Mr. Maske was very concerned about him. He specially visited Mr. Hyde and mentioned the matter of accepting himself as his disciple in person. This must be the case.

Ruibo guessed.

Take out the tightly wrapped things from the pocket in front of the saddle.

Ruibo was led by the butler to the lounge upstairs.

When he opened the door, Ruibo froze and saw a middle-aged man sitting in a warm cage, with a thin figure and a golden-wisted eyes. It was the Baron Brown.

How did Baron Brown appear in this place? Rebbo was puzzled.

‘Ribo, come in, sit down and tell us a good talk about the wonderful experiences we encountered during this trip.’ I was very interested in this.’ Mr. Hyde said with a smile.

Inside the luxuriously decorated lounge, Mr. Hyde, Baron Brown and Eckert sat in a circle.

Seeing Rebow come in, Eckert and Baron Brown moved left and right to free up the middle position.

‘Ribo, let me introduce you to him. He is Fez, and you are already familiar with the full name. Joseph Brown-Barrow, but here we call him Fez.’ Mr. Hyde introduced.

‘Fez told us a lot of interesting things about you, you must have gained something great during this trip.’ asked Eckert.

‘Oh, yes, Mr. Hyde, I was about to ask you, do you know a magician named Masque?’ asked Rebow.

‘Mashik? It turns out that he accepted you as a disciple. You are such a lucky guy.’ Mr. Hyde said: ‘He accepted you as a disciple, but he didn’t tell you his identity?’

‘Isn’t Teacher Masque a magician?’ asked Ribo.

‘It’s not just a magician, you will know this later. Mashik is a strange guy. He has to be considered an alien among magicians. I used to work with him. At that time, I was still young - at least not as old as I am now. At that time, Mashik was already an extremely old magician. I haven’t seen each other again for so long. I didn’t expect that he is still alive. The magician is longevity. It’s great to be a magician!’ Mr. Hyde sighed with emotion.

‘It seems that Mr. Daofen and Mr. Masque are always in contact.’ said Ribo.

‘Yes, Mail and Masske are good friends, they are very close. If it weren’t for Mail’s lack of talent for learning magic, Masske would have accepted Mair as a disciple. Rebow, you are so lucky.’ Mr. Hyde said: ‘Ribo, if I’m not wrong, Masske should have known what I’m planning, did he not tell you at all?’

‘No, I only know that Mr. Mail Dowfen also intervened in this matter, and Mr. Masque was quite sure of this.’ Rebbo replied.

His words were obviously beyond the expectations of Eckert and Fez, but Mr. Hyde was not moved by it. He nodded and said, "Yes, I have long seen that it was Mair who was inspiring everything behind the scenes. Rebow, it is time to tell you everything. You are Masque's disciple, and we have no way to force you to participate in this matter. However, since Masque did not object to our actions, he obviously did not think there was anything wrong with doing this."

‘Ribo, we have been together for such a long time, if, I tell you, this time we have been planning so carefully for so long and taking such a big risk, not just to make a fortune, or even, a large part of the reason, we are not for ourselves, can you believe it?’ asked Mr. Hyde.

Ruibo thought for a long time before nodding. Although he could not imagine how the thief could not take great risks for the sake of profit. The thief seemed not to be a profession owned by a noble person, but Ruibo did not doubt what Mr. Hyde said, and even Ruibo himself could not say the reason.

‘Ribe, you should be very clear about the struggle history of Nangang and Lai. Originally, Francis did not have these two counties at all. Unlike other cities, Nangang and Lai were established by the king. Instead, the people living here rely on generations of hard work to build the two originally nothing and a barren land to become as prosperous and developed as it is now.’

'Do you remember the story I told you? When I was as big as you, Nangang was just a small fishing village. At that time, Lai was just a slightly larger town. After the efforts of countless people and half a century, it became the most prosperous place in Francis. Do you know why? Because we hope to live a better life, don't you work hard for these things too?'

'But who doesn't want to live a happy and happy life? Are people from other places so stupid and don't know how to work hard? They would rather live a difficult and poor life?'

‘It’s not that they don’t work hard, but because no matter how hard they try, it’s useless. Nangang and Lai have a unique environment. Of course, this is not that because Nangang is adjacent to the sea and there are many cities along the coast of Francis. It’s not that Nangang is not the only place, but the trade scale of other places is very small and cannot be expanded. Do you know why? Because there are no nobles and lords here, and the authority of the king is extremely weak.’

‘People can open shops without restraint or operate sea and land transactions. As long as they pay taxes, there is no problem. There is no privilege here, and both parties to the trade deal are fair.’

‘The reason why he could do this was that Maier spent a lot of effort. He persuaded the Lord of Sethborg who managed the land, and through this Earl, he bribed every important department of Sethborg. Most of the donations collected by Nangang each year were used to subsidize the expenses of many departments of Sethborg. At the same time, he also lured the wealthy nobles of Sethborg to invest in Nangang, making Nangang a source of their real wealth. It can be said that Sethborg has long become an iron piece and has been firmly controlled by the gold coins of Nangang.’

‘However, the wealth of Nangang has long been famous for Francis. Both for the king and for the nobles in other places, Nangang is a piece of fat and fat meat. The emptiness of the national treasury also requires a large amount of gold coins to fill. Although the total amount of taxes paid by Nangang every year is extremely large, the king will not meet the costs of the national treasury. The expenses of the national treasury are too large. These taxes are not enough to make up for the increasing budgetary expenses. In the king's view, Nangang should make greater contributions to the national treasury.'

‘However, unilateral tax increases are useless. As long as the merchant transfers his property to other countries, increasing taxes becomes a meaningless measure. Therefore, the only way is to completely control Nangang and control every family in Nangang tightly in his hands, just like dealing with people from other areas of Francis. Whether it is the king or other nobles, they have the same idea.’

‘The only problem that their plan could not be realized is that the management rights of Nangang belong to Serthburgh, and Serthburgh is a hereditary territory. Most of the nobles in Francis have hereditary territory. The hereditary territory of the lord of Serthburgh, the lord of Serthburgh, was from Lai to Nangang. This land that was considered a barren land at that time, only the Medin family could make a final decision on the property on this land. Anyone who wants to control Nangang will first deprive the Medin family of control over Nangang.’

‘However, the hereditary territory, as the foundation of the kingdom, is sacred and inviolable, and no one dares to ignore or modify it. The Medin family has strong economic strength and it is impossible to transfer or sell this territory. Therefore, it is almost impossible to control Nangang. Unfortunately, the Medin family has a fatal weakness, which is that they are not prosperous. Although the Medin family is the number one wealthy family in the south of Franx, compared with other wealthy families, the number of heirs that the Medin family has is simply incomparable.’

‘So, someone conspired to assassinate the members of the Medin family. The Earl of Medin and his two sons died one after another. The only relative left by the Earl of Medin in Sethburg was his sister, an old virgin who was not married. The Miss Medin adopted an orphan as her adopted daughter. When the Francis woman was unable to take up the position of lord, it became undoubtedly a matter of depriving the Medin family of hereditary inheritance.’

'However, the planner missed a person, or an accident caused the planner to be wasted all his efforts. Earl Meiding had a daughter who had a falling out with the old count for marriage and finally ran away from home. The earl's daughter married a noble and wealthy businessman from Xibai from Nangang. However, in the plague a few years ago, the couple died, leaving only one son.'

'In fact, the child died shortly afterwards. However, the butler was greedy for the wealthy businessman's huge property and concealed all this and still managed the wealth of the rich businessman in the name of the young master. However, the news that the owner of the property owner had died could not be revealed. Therefore, he attracted the brother who cared about Lei's business and hired a group of distant relatives to pretend to be mercenaries and concealed the news of the little master's death for several years. However, due to the death of the count, the young master became the only hope to save Nangang. Even a person who follows the rules like Mail would choose extraordinary means. Anyway, I don't know what method he used to let the butler ask everything to confess. The butler was very scared because, once this matter was exposed, he didn't know what kind of tragic ending would be. However, Mail obviously thought that there was a turning point in the matter, so he asked the butler to come to me, because I am an expert in this field.'

‘Although I am not a noble person, I don’t want everything I have worked hard to create, but I have lost it. I have also devoted my efforts to this prosperity. The more prosperous Nangang, the more I can get from it. Because of this, my subordinates have committed something in Nangang, and I never protect them. No one will like a port full of thieves and liars. However, these two professions are always the most prosperous in other ports. Do you know why? Because I am here, I will not tolerate the emergence of another thief union. It is not only the nobles and kings who covet the wealth of Nangang, but also the thieves. However, the set of people who are single and lonely in Nangang has no place to stand, but there are some people he cannot deal with, and I will help him deal with it. We have worked together for decades. Just like this time, Mail needs my help.’
