"So that's how it is."

Mo Cheng nodded, now he understood why Baron Helena tried to contact him in such an unreasonable way.

After all, in Fairhaven now, Mo Cheng has been known to the upper nobles to a certain extent, and although the nobles are all watching, they don't bother too much. The invitation to the banquet was placed there, neither asking Mo Cheng to reply, nor sending anyone to urge him.

The meaning of both parties is very obvious, one party wants to know you, and the other party expresses that it is not in a hurry. It may take two or three months for this kind of tension to turn around, but both the nobleman and Mo Cheng have enough time to wait.

When Baron Helena came to the door, Mo Cheng almost thought that the tacit understanding had been broken.

"May I ask, if something happened to the Selannis family's fleet, how much compensation do they need?"

Although Mo Cheng doesn't know much about business, he also knows that shipping business in this period is a matter of high risk and high return. Every time the fleet departs, the profits are huge, but they also have to face storms, tsunamis, inexplicable natural disasters, pirates, and even the profits are too large. It is not uncommon for the captain to take the money and run away.

It's just that during this period, the profit of shipping has not yet reached its peak. The real peak period is a few years later.

At that time, [Foreign Land] shared all the servers, and while the disasters on the sea were greatly reduced, thanks to the development of the ocean industry and ships, the success rate of going to another continent was as high as 70%.

Undoubtedly the golden age, the cultural exchanges between the two continents, the circulation of goods, and of course the wars that were accompanied by interests.

At that time, it could be called the [Great Voyage Period]. For the fleet and merchants, the continent on the other side of the ocean was full of gold. As long as they crossed the ocean, they could get a fortune to buy a manor, a housekeeper, three A beautiful maid who spends the rest of her life comfortably with money.

Of course, benefits are always relative to risks. With fewer natural disasters, man-made disasters will naturally increase.

There will always be people who think that instead of crossing the ocean to do business on the other side of the continent, it is better to target the fleet of ships that return with full load.

If Mo Cheng remembers correctly, the small version updates at that time were mainly open sea battles, various islands, and pirate maps.

"I don't know the exact number, but I think it will be a lot." Margaret took out a stack of papers from the desk and flipped through them, and replied, "I'm not a person who gloats at other people's bad luck. Because a report was received."

"Report?"

This surprised Mo Cheng, Margaret's law enforcement team should not have participated in the sinking of the Selanese fleet.

The amount of compensation is stipulated in the contract. Even if there is a dispute between nobles, it should be judged by the noble court.

As for why the fleet on the ocean sank, that shouldn't be the responsibility of the law enforcement team.

"A deceased person was one of the captains of the Seranis fleet. He seemed very guilty because the whole ship sank and was the only one who was rescued. Afterwards, he broke away from the Seranis family and got drunk in the tavern."

Mo Cheng took the information handed over by Margaret, on which there was a clear picture of the corpse and the cause of death was written.

"Thirteen stabs in the back, throat, heart, and even the temple. Tsk tsk, it seems that if you want him to die. I guess this captain said something that others didn't want after he was drunk. What he said."

Margaret nodded, "That's right, according to my investigation, the captain often scolded a certain nobleman when he was drunk, and said that if it wasn't for his people, the fleet wouldn't have sunk at all. From this result, It seems that the sinking of Selannis's fleet was partly caused by man-made."

"Did the captain say which nobleman he was?"

Some things are just guesswork, and some things are just guesswork.

The accidental death, combined with the experience of the captain, makes it difficult for people to separate these things.

"No, the captain is very cautious. He didn't say any specific information about the nobles, and because of the shareholding, every nobleman who has invested has sent someone to monitor it."

Mo Cheng shrugged, obviously at this point, all the clues have been broken, "Unfortunately, this captain is not cautious enough, if he is cautious, he should rot some things in his stomach, or explain to his boss, instead of Swearing and cursing after getting drunk in places like pubs."

There are some things that only need to be doubted. Killing and silence is never a new word.

"I'm afraid it's useless to say it." Margaret knew some inside information, "The nobles have always been very dissatisfied with the false nobles promoted by the queen, and have humiliated them in public several times. There are even more. And Selannis, as one of the powerful nobles with false titles, is often regarded as a leader by the nobles with false titles."

"In this fleet, among the nobles, there are those who want to make money together, but there are definitely some people who caused the fleet to sink due to secret troubles."

Mo Cheng can also know the mentality of the nobles. After all, things are rare and expensive, and if there are too many nobles, they are worthless. After all, there are many nobles in Fairhaven who receive the monthly minimum living allowance given by Andair. After living, all they have left is that high-spirited face.

It's not impossible for Queen Aundair to promote some people to become nobles, but I didn't expect the queen to be [a large number of promotions], and they are all elites in some industries~lightnovelpub.net~ Originally, the ecological environment of nobles is not considered That's great, even doing business is using the privileges of the nobility to occupy the market.

When business elites are awarded titles, those nobles who benefit from their status and privileges will naturally not be able to continue to be the same as before. ], this kind of gap is too much for people to accept.

Once people can't accept the facts, it's not surprising that they do anything.

"Are you going to take care of this?" Mo Cheng looked at the record in his hand. He knew Margaret's character well. If he hadn't planned to take care of it, the record wouldn't be on the desk.

"It's a dispute between the nobles. The investigation must be handed over to the Knights, and the judgment will be passed through the noble court. The Law Enforcement Corps has no such power and can't manage it, but their rules can't control me. It's just because of this incident, Selannis has a lot of distrust towards nobles, and when I came to the door because of this case, I was politely dismissed."

Distrust is inevitable. I am afraid that Selannis has more or less noticed that most of his fleet has sunk, and it has something to do with the nobles.

So when Margaret came to investigate, the other party would probably think that she came to see their jokes.

And Mo Cheng also heard some clues from Margaret's words, "Don't you want me to get in touch with Baron Selanis and then investigate this matter?"

With a bitter expression on his face, Mo Cheng asked the skip players to perform investigation and puzzle-solving tasks, which is no different from rubbing a lithography machine with a 40-meter ship-killing knife.
