"You wait a moment first. Sophia should tell me what you want to drink before you get up …"
The bartender said to Surdak
Surdak raised his glass and nodded his head.
He ate salted cat’s paw, a nut that needs a dagger to cut the hard shell to get the crispy and sweet nuts inside, which is just a good thing to kill time.
Take a sip of cold and mellow ale, his thoughts seem to drift back to a past summer.
Chapter 61 Thieves’ Union News
Sophia yawned and walked out of the corridor behind the bartender in a pair of slippers, wearing black linen loose trousers and linen bandages to tie her chest tightly.
She has a well-proportioned figure and a strong body, but her face is a little plain.
"Why are you here so early?" Sophia saw Surdak and said to him, "It just happened that the news was sent last night, and I sorted it out again last night, probably all you wanted."
The bartender took out a plate of white bread and a slice of ham from the cupboard, put it on the plate and poured her a glass of milk. Sophia naturally took it and turned and walked into the kitchen.
The bartender will aisle Gensoul duck with Sophia behind and went in.
Surdak sat at the table inside the menu with a nut dish in his hand and said to Sophia, "Just come and look around when you pass by!"
Sophia put the plate on the table and turned around and walked out, but she took back a piece of parchment and bound it into a book. Sitting opposite Surdak, she ate three cures and said to Surdak, "Now I’m going to talk about the status quo of the Philo family. If you are diligent outside, you can always get all the basic information and collect a gold coin."
Then she put the book in her hand in front of Surdak and turned to the first page. It was indeed a very detailed record of the songs of the past dynasties when the Philo family was founded. Sophia, the head of the Philo family, said, "There is still some influence among the old aristocratic families in Bena City."
Sophia bite a sanzhi side of Surdak explained
However, at present, the credibility of the Philo family has almost fallen to the bottom. Everyone lacks the most basic belief in the present song Count Philo. The Philo family has been declining in recent decades. At present, even the in-situ noodle mining industry has been frequently hit. The Philo family has no private army, so it can completely solve the private plane troubles. These troubles are increasing, and more than half of the noodle industry is in a state of suspension.
"You mean that the Philo family is currently facing difficulties?" Surdak asked
Sophia’s expression was exaggerated, and she took a sip of water and swallowed the food in her mouth. Then she said with some exaggeration, "It’s just a dilemma. If there is no way to improve the current situation, the Philo family will probably go the way of the Bradbury family."
Sophia successively turned over the back pages of parchment and said
"At present, the situation of the Philo family is even more erosive than it seems. Recently, many investments of the family have failed frequently, especially after the outbreak of the plane war, many plane investments have been forced to be interrupted. Now the Philo family is under great debt pressure, and it has almost reached the point of selling the family business to repay the debts due."
She hesitated for a moment and then added, "There are many members of the Song Philo family. Count Philo also raises dozens of people who usually live a luxurious life without work. Mi Chong is also the last bad debt of the Song Philo family."
……
Surdak asked Sophia, "Can I comment on the song Count Philo?"
Sophia took a look at Surdak, and Surdak remembered that consultation was closed, so she took out a gold coin from her purse and handed it to Sophia as usual.
Sophia took the gold coin and immediately said to Surdak with bright eyes.
"He is the chief of the Philo clan in the past dynasties, and none of them happened to be arrogant and paranoid. A series of measures after him not only failed to reverse the family dilemma, but also accelerated the decline of the Philo clan. The most outrageous thing is that the Marquis of Lu Se broke away and insisted on robbing a copper mine. However, the mine was forced to give up because of the unstable situation on the plane after only completing the preliminary exploration."
Surdak didn’t expect Count Philo’s evaluation to be so bad.
Sophia added, "At the beginning of his succession to the title, he once wanted to form a private army to expand the family territory. Unfortunately, many measures failed. That’s right. Count Philo is such a person. When he was young, he failed to invest in mines or expand his territory. Now he is bent on maintaining family glory …"
Sophia looked at Surdak and said, "I have another message here."
Surdak hurriedly pulled out a gold coin from his backpack and handed it to Sophia.
Sophia went on to say, "Count Philo frequently contacted a southern Lord in recent days, probably because he wanted to let the Philo family through marriage and business cooperation."
"Southern Lord?" Surdak finally found the reason why Count Philo was hostile to himself-the Southern Lord.
Sophia nodded and said, "That’s right. At present, the representative of the Southern Lord has stayed in Bena City for nearly a week. Baron Harvey Song Philo, the first heir of the Gefeiluo family, is leading the representative to inspect all industries in Bena City of the GePhilo family and want to find a further opportunity."
Surdak quickly asked, "Do you know the name of the representative of the southern Lord?"
Sophia’s face was covered with’ I knew you’d ask’.
She said with some pride, "Of course, we not only found out the name of the representative of the southern Lord, but also knew his background and current address. His name is Jack Kenley, a second-class baron. The Kenley family is an old family in Blancasa province. It has vast land and has always been the largest slave owner in the region. The South runs a large wheat field, and the Green Empire has nearly 70,000 indigenous slaves in the hands of high-quality and cheap wheat flour."
"Where does this Baron Jack Kenley currently live?" Surdak asked more curiously and took out a gold coin again.
Your competitors are likely to have won the support of Count Philo.
Surdak has a strong impulse to see the Baron Jack Kenley.
Sophia didn’t hide it and told Surdak directly, "Baron Jack Kenley lives in the same hotel as you! Moreover, Count Philo intends to marry the Kenley family to consolidate the two sides, but it seems that Baron Jack Kenley did not watch the daughters of Count Philo. "
"…" Surdak didn’t expect himself to live under the same roof as the Baron Jack Kenley.
Looking at Surdak for a long time without talking, Sophia gently coughed two pairs of Surdak and said, "Our thieves’ union still accepts assassination orders or we can make several rounds of unsuccessful assassinations … to scare him away, but the price of the orders is a little expensive …"
