C2983 Escaping from death?

"Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything … Don't kill me! " Another Secret Police screamed in fear.

"From now on, I am your subordinate. I will definitely listen to your orders and give me a chance …" "Please!"

Raoult Rigo smiled and nodded, "Very good, you are very smart... "Don't think that you can lie to me. Tell me, who are the upper and lower levels that you are in contact with now?"

"From today onwards, I'll completely accept this line of yours …"

Raoult Rigo had a lot of experience in fighting with the Paris police. He completely understood these police officers' methods and tactics, and also understood how to fight for power and benefits.

He was the Police Chief of Police, but the Interim Defence Government would never admit to it. He was even wanted by the Interim Defence Government!

He did not care, he only stole all the secret records of the Secret Police s in Paris at the most volatile moment, which were his trump cards to control the plainclothes men.

If he found a secret plainclothes, he could coerce him to obey his orders. If he didn't open his eyes, he would naturally threaten his wife and children in plainclothes.

90% of the people would not be able to take a bullet if it was truly related to their family's safety. If it was an isolated person or someone of little value, Li Gao would not be stingy with a bullet, just like the one who had just been shot.

Killing and threatening were both real. As long as one of them told his secret, the other would tell him a line and he would be able to control all of the Secret Police in Paris one by one.

Since the founding of the Republic, Rigaud had controlled more than six hundred plainclothes policemen in the short span of a dozen days. There were no longer any secrets in Paris for him.

Eugene and Andrew's business was being watched by him from the beginning, he did not expect the two to have such guts, but after Andrew bought another three pawnshops, Li Gao felt that he had to take action.

Communicating with the enemy to sell off one's country is a huge crime, and not handing over the money is also a serious crime. What the National Guard lacks now is military expenditures, if I don't kill a fat sheep like you, who else can I kill?

However, Rigaud did not give the order to kill. It was not because he cared about these two merchants, but because he cared about the Chinese people outside the city!

Li Gao wasn't the highest ranking member of the left faction. He had only heard rumors that there was a secret agreement between the upper echelons and the Chinese.

This level of information was something that not even Li Gao knew about. It was precisely because of this worry that Eugene and Andrew had been able to save their lives.

Their heads were tied up in black pockets, and they were transported to a secret prison, which was filled with dirty, dark, smelly people of all kinds.

No one had even untied the ropes on their bodies, not even the black cloth bags on their heads!

"Are we going to die?" Andrew said in despair.

"No …" God will not abandon us... "We will definitely not die …" Eugene was extremely sincere at the moment, as if he had forgotten the day before yesterday and had personally sold a thirteenth century silver cross to the pagan.

Just when the two of them were despairingly waiting for their final judgement, Raoult Rigo saw Blanqui.

"Respected teacher, I have caught two merchants who are in cahoots with the enemy, Eugene and Andrew. They are the owners of the pawnshop that has been in the limelight for the past few days …"

Li Gao reported in detail to Blanqui about the crimes of these people secretly selling the national treasure to the Chinese and strongly requested that they be shot to death. However, he never expected that Blanqui would actually stay silent.

The grey-haired old revolutionary fell into deep thought. No one knew what he was thinking, but perhaps he was fighting his own idealism.

From the point of view of a patriotic nationalist, the two merchants who sold their country for profit could definitely be killed. How could the artistic treasure of a France be given to the Chinese people?

It was clear from Xiao Letian's actions that he was taking advantage of the situation!

However, if the idea of nationalism was abandoned and it was simply a matter of victory or defeat, the benefits of keeping this secret outweighed the disadvantages!

After all, he and Xiao Letian had reached an agreement on a ceasefire. If they were to kill the tentacles that the Chinese had infiltrated Paris, wouldn't that mean that the agreement would be torn apart?

Personally block the last escape route? Blanqui fell into deep thought!

Raoult Rigo felt that something was strange. Such a simple choice shouldn't be so hard to make, why was he not saying anything for such a long time?

Were those secret rumors true? Was there really a private agreement?

"Li Gao..." To free the two merchants and guarantee their safety from today onwards … "But for all the trade between the two of them, we'll draw a 60% tax. You can do this …"

"Huh?" He had never thought that after working hard for a few days, it would end up like this. He wanted to continue asking but Blanqui just turned his head and left.

Li Gao did not dare to say another word. His guess had been proven!

After Eugene and Andrew were locked up for four hours, they were escorted by a group of strong men and dragged out of the prison.

"Don't kill me... We are willing to donate our military assets, please let me go... "We'll pay …"

"For God's sake, don't kill me …"

The black cloth was torn apart. Raoult Rigo looked at the two panicking merchants and said scornfully, "Don't think that I don't know what you two are doing. You two are in this business … "Hmm …" "Why not tax?"

"Speak!" "Why don't you tax?"

Ah?

Eugene and Andrew would never have thought that they were caught because there was no tax? The two of them opened their mouths wide, but did not know what to say.

Rigaud waved his hand. "Scram. Remember, from today onwards, we will have to pay 60% tax on all your business transactions. I will collect it myself at regular intervals!"

"Don't even think about doing a fake account, and don't even think about escaping …" "I will stubbornly stare at the two of you until I die …"

Eugene and Andrew didn't know how they got home. It was as if they were in a dream tonight, they walked around the prison until nothing happened. Even the cultural relics were brought back.

After drinking a large bottle of wine, the two of them finally understood what was going on. "I finally understand it in my life. The most dangerous thing is the safest …"

"Other people would want to shoot themselves if they tried to rob their country, but if you were able to sell your country to a certain extent, you would be able to control a very large amount of benefits … Then you have the right to sell yourself to the enemy! "

"My God! It's not a question of whether or not you can sell your country as an enemy, it's a matter of whether or not you sell it big enough! "

"If we had the ability to sell the entire Louvre to the leader … Not only will we not die, we will even become the supreme beings! "

"That's right …" From tomorrow onwards, I will continue to purchase those pawnshops that are on the verge of bankruptcy... to the thieves and the robbers of Paris, who are going to spend a lot of money... "

"We can steal the treasures that the pawnshop cannot take! How many chances can a person have in their lifetime? "After this village, there will no longer be such a shop!"
