Chapter 54 Seizure

On August 19, 1379, the glory calendar, at noon.

There were messy and low gunshots in several places in Tulun Port. The gunshots in each place only lasted for a few breaths and quickly disappeared.

On the street, there were policemen riding fast horses, waving the black island shadow, bloody mountain cuckoo shield-shaped badge flag, running quickly, and loudly announcing the orders of Duke Ross.

"Except for members of the special investigation team and their subordinates, it is strictly prohibited to gather any private armed forces."

"Anyone who carries guns, swords, and gathers over three people will be killed!"

"Anyone who dares to mobilize private armed forces will be severely punished."

The brigade soldiers in iron-gray uniforms appeared on the streets. They set up barricades and set up field artillery, and boldly divided Tulun Port into small pieces that could not pass through each other.

The Tulum Port City Hall was directly surrounded by two new flintlock infantry battalions. A division commander of the Jiasica Island Garrison personally entered the city hall building. Except for Hessen, six of the seven-member committee of Tulum Port were trapped in the city hall building and could not move.

Moreover, internal and external news was completely isolated.

Near the old pier of Tulum No. 1, Tulum Port, above a hill with a height of only 100 feet, a building covering an extremely wide area and built of gray granite, and a square building like a war fort stands.

Outside the main entrance of the building, in the fountain, is a bronze statue nearly twenty feet high.

A huge bronze key and a long sword crossed, a ferocious Hydra wrapped around the crossed key and long sword, nine huge snake heads facing in all directions, and eighteen scarlet eyeballs were vigilantly monitoring the surroundings.

This is the headquarters of the Tulun Port Customs Office and the Tulun Port Customs Anti-smuggling Team. It is also located in this two-story stone building with a length of 200 feet and a height of two stories.

The brigade of soldiers wearing iron gray uniforms had already surrounded the entire customs before Qiao arrived.

Eighteen 100-inch field cannons were loaded with amazingly powerful flowering bullets, and their dark muzzles were straight facing the main entrance of the customs building.

Several panicked customs officials hid behind the gate and shouted to the outside at the top of their lungs, but the army surrounding the building did not respond. Two bold officials wanted to come out and negotiate with the head of the army. After a few dull gunshots, they rushed back and did not dare to show their heads.

Qiao Sheng captured Sinbada and immediately rushed to the customs building with a large group of troops from the direction of Palm Tree Street.

Ya followed Qiao closely and was excited and ready to go: "Young Master, I want to do this for many years... Aha, anti-smuggling team, damn it, we will lose at least a few million gold marks on them every year!"

"Uncle Ya, you are wrong." Qiao hurriedly whispered: "Our Weitu family has always been law-abiding and paying taxes on time and in full. We never do anything illegal."

"As for the anti-smuggling team, they are a place where dirt is hidden. They seek personal gain for their families and individuals in the name of the law. They are the vampires on all legal merchants in Tulun Port."

Qiao said seriously: "We must clean up the garbage and scum here, so that the anti-smuggling team can become an elite team that truly respects the law, abides by the law, enforces the law fairly, has strict discipline, and is dedicated to protecting all legitimate trade activities in Tulun Port."

Ya looked at Qiao with a dizzy head. He opened his mouth wide. After a long time, he murmured: "Young Master, you have grown up. You finally became the same as your boss..."

Joe lowered his voice: "Emperial and wise?"

Teeth frowned tightly, and after a long time, he muttered in a low voice: "My conscience, I cannot agree with what you said just now."

Qiao was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He glared fiercely, poked his head out of the car window, and shouted loudly: "So fast, we will be very busy today, very busy, and there are so many places to run."

The arrival of Duke Ross undoubtedly shocked the entire Tulum Port.

The Vitu family must take advantage of the opportunity brought by the Zhongqiu bloody case and take advantage of the strong support given by Duke Ross to make a big fuss in the entire Tulun Port.

Joe held a cigar in his mouth and sucked the smoke in big mouthfuls: "I heard that the Wells and the Turings, they have collusion with the rebels in Gassica?"

"It's obvious, otherwise where did those poor people come from so many arms and supplies, and have fought with the Duke for so many years?" Ya is an old man from the Weitu family and one of the core senior executives. He knows a lot of information that Qiao doesn't know.

Now that Qiao is an adult, she suddenly becomes sensible. Ya hurriedly takes the opportunity to teach Qiao something that he thinks Qiao should master.

"The Wells family and the others are deeply rooted in Tulum Port and in Jiasica Island, and their power is mixed. Especially after they have been with the nobles of the imperial capital over the years, even the Duke dare not touch them easily, otherwise it will cause unpredictable changes."

"But this is the best opportunity." Ya slapped Qiao's fat shoulder hard: "Young master, you did a pretty job. Who would have thought that you could get that survey information? With it, as long as you master it, no matter how ruthless the Duke will do this time..."

"We're sure to win?" Qiao looked at her teeth happily.

"Look at the decision of the Duke." The teeth grinded their teeth: "This is a great opportunity. For us, the truth of the Zhongqiu bloody case is no longer important. What is important is who has the final say in Tulun Port in the future!"

Qiao vomited a heavy sip of smoke.

He experienced the terrifying bombardment of the pink mermaid, but he never dreamed that an extraordinary attack would cause such a complicated subsequent wave.

However, he likes it.

Anger grew in his heart, and he couldn't wait to do something.

The large group of people rushed to the door of the customs office in a mighty manner, and the four-wheeled carriage stopped beside the fountain where the customs badge statue was located.

Qiao kicked open the car door, jumped out of the carriage with a 'bang', then picked up the heavy and thickened lead-filled copper baton, waved it hard in his hand, making a 'huh' sound.

More than twenty four-wheeled carriages stopped beside Qiao, and more than a hundred heavyweight policemen with a touching body jumped out of the carriage, showing off their might, or they pulled out the oak batons with a powerful force, and lined up behind Qiao in a relatively neat line.

Ya stood behind Qiao, looking at the policemen who were so excited that their faces were red, and they couldn't help but shake their heads.

If the guards of the Vitu family had such a body size, they would have thrown them into the bay with sharks and made them work hard to lose weight.

But looking at the huge Joe, and then looking at these heavyweight policemen... Ya couldn't help but admit that their temperament was so compatible... and it was really shocking.

Qiao took out his red cover ID and shook it hard at the customs building: "In the name of the law, I am Joe Rong Weitu, a first-class police officer in the special investigation team of Zhongqiu, Tulun Port!"

"I order you to cooperate with our next investigation."

"My people will enter the customs building, arrest some suspects, and seal off some archival evidence."

"After the order of the Duchess of Jiasica and the Governor of the Southern Special Administrative Region of the Empire, during the investigation, if you have any abnormal movements, you may shelter the suspects and hide the evidence of the crime, you will be killed without any attention!"

Qiao shouted a righteous official speech on the scene loudly, and then waved the baton in his hand hard: "Brothers, rush, block every office, and thoroughly investigate everything!"

Hundreds of heavyweight policemen howled, and their morale rushed towards the customs building with high morale.

Over the years, the Tulun Port Customs Anti-smuggling Team and the Tulun Port Police Water Police Branch have highly overlapped in their functions. They have repeatedly rubbed during the law enforcement process, and the two sides have forged countless grudges and caused huge losses to the other party's year-end welfare respectively.

The two sides have been fighting each other for a long time, but the customs anti-smuggling team and the Tulun Port squadron have a good relationship, and the water police branch is no match for the other party at all.

This time, they were able to search the customs building with justification and reasonableness!

The policemen were so excited that they almost farted.

Countless roars and insults came from the customs building, and even more huge shutdowns, drawers were pulled, and a rapid sound of up and down from the stairs came out.

Joe yelled again, and the baton waved forward again.

The large group of guards of the Vitu family, together with soldiers from a battalion, shouted slogans, followed the policemen who were pioneers in front of them, and rushed into the customs building with great strides.

Qiao stood quietly by the fountain, looking at the bronze statue in front of him.

Less than a minute after the brigade rushed into the customs building, a dull gunshot suddenly sounded in the building. After a while, several guards from the Vitu family rushed out, carrying two policemen with their upper bodies covered in blood.

"Someone fired, some fired...the two officers were injured!"

Qiao stared at her eyes wide, and a sense of excitement surged in her heart: "Shooting the police! This is a felony, a felony! Especially, they attacked members of the special investigation team, and they must have shameful evidence!"

Qiao yelled at the artillery lined up in the rear: "Fire a shot, warning!"

A 100-inch field cannon that was ready to go was blasted out with a long fire, and a flowering bullet hit the exterior wall of the northwest corner of the customs building.

With a loud bang, large pieces of gravel exploded, and several nearby windows were shattered. There were many people crying and crying from the office behind the window, as well as some broken tables and chairs and other fragments sprayed out from the building.

Qiao raised his voice again: "Cooperate with the investigation, otherwise... will kill everyone!"

Qiao was so excited that she was trembling all over.

The Weitu family has always wanted to interfere in the Customs of Tulun Port, but they have never succeeded. The indigenous forces of Tulun Port have grasped the customs as if they were a piece of iron plate.

Over the years, Tulun Port Customs has disgusted the ocean-going fleet of the Vitu family. In the name of "epidemic prevention and isolation", at least thousands of Vitu family sailors are invited to jail every year!

This time, I'll give him a great one!

A dense gunshot suddenly broke out in the building again. Hearing the sound of gunshots like beans, at least hundreds of people were fighting fire.

Qiao and Ya looked at each other, unable to speak.

What shameful things in this building are worthy of their great struggle?

"It seems that we are poking hornet's nest again?"
