Chapter 320 Power and Money Transaction
The midday sun shines in through the huge wooden hollow patterns, leaving beautiful patterns on the expensive carpet.
This is a living room in the castle. Everything is in luxurious dark gold tones. Hundreds of golden eyes form a complex and strange pattern on the silver-rimmed double-open wooden doors. Tree-shaped wall lamps exude
The primitive meaning is waiting for the coming of night. The carpet depicting dozens of wild plants is receiving the baptism of sunlight at this moment.
The living room is extremely spacious, with a length and width of about twenty paces. The oil paintings hanging on the surrounding walls are brightly colored, and almost every one of them has a signature in gilded font, which seems to declare that it is worth a lot.
A sofa that was as soft as cotton was placed in the center of the living room. At this moment, Zhu Tian was deeply sunken into this black python leather sofa.
"I've been waiting here for half an hour." He said to the guard standing by, "Don't you even have afternoon tea here?"
The guard was wearing a shiny light armor, with the kingdom's standard cross sword on his waist, and a stern face hidden under a silver iron helmet. "No," he said, "Baron Hedwig is doing this now.
Business. You don’t have an appointment, so I have to wait for Baron Hedgeway to finish his work before he can come to see you. Not to mention..." What he wanted to say was, not to mention that you are a Yodelman, what qualifications do you have to come here for afternoon tea?
?
Zhu Tian yawned and narrowed his eyes unconsciously.
Unexpectedly, his spiritual tentacles had already reached out, and it only took him two breaths to find Baron Hedwig in the castle.
At this moment, Baron Hedgeway is indeed busy.
Opposite him stood a man with half of his hair white. His hair was a little messy and greasy. The man was wearing light gray casual clothes, but paired with a pair of bright yellow baggy pants. This was completely inconsistent with any combination.
Aesthetics. Just like casual casual clothes found in the cupboard.
But opposite him was a real hereditary nobleman - Baron Hedwig.
Logically speaking, there is no etiquette for nobles to dress appropriately when meeting nobles, but it is not necessary to dress so sloppily.
Under his bright yellow baggy pants, he actually had two slippers!
"Grace, I need money! Lots and lots of money!" Almost straight to the point. Baron Hedgeway said to the man in front of him: "And you have money, lots and lots of money."
"Private property is sacred and inviolable. It is the law of the kingdom, my Lord Baron."
After Baron Hedwig heard this, he said with sarcasm in his tone: "Killing for life is also the law of the kingdom, Lord Mayor Grace."
"Everything is gone! Sir, there is no way you can accuse me." The corners of Grace's mouth were cracked, and there were black holes in her mouth, and it seemed like a few teeth were missing.
Silence, silence that lasted for more than ten seconds.
"But I have the power to remove you from office! The power to confiscate your property!"
"Sir, you don't know where my property is, so your power has nowhere to use it." Grace's tone was still respectful, but her words were full of coldness. "Yes, I still have a mine.
, right in the Dolon Mountains, a gold mine! As long as I let the slaves work hard to dig, it can bring me hundreds of gold coins almost every day! If I die, the gold mine will have no owner, and what about you, if
If you send a large number of manpower, you can naturally occupy the gold mine in a very short time! Half a month? Ten days? I believe that as long as you are willing to work hard
If so, maybe you can find the gold mine and occupy it within five days. But... you only have two days left. The gold mine cannot directly release a large number of gold coins, and it takes time to mine the gold mine and smelt the gold.
Mines also take time, and right now, what you lack most is time. The king is exploiting all the nobles on the entire continent. This matter is almost semi-public, because the nobles on the entire continent are exploiting the common people in the territory.
.Well, you don’t want to exploit civilians, so you come to exploit me? Yes, I have the ability to help you, but please give me the same amount of value.”
After hearing his long speech, Baron Hedwig said coldly: "I kept your life. Isn't this worth enough?"
"No, you have to realize that my life is mine, and you want to take everything from me. My castle, my honor, my gold coins. You want them all, and
Don’t give me any compensation. It doesn’t make sense.”
Hearing this, Baron Hedwig jumped up from his chair. "Grace! You have to know! I can kill you at any time!" Like a wild beast, he moved towards the mayor who looked very lonely.
Growling. "And you can only kill me with your neck!"
"Yes! I can only kill with my neck, but I can shut my mouth tightly before cutting off the head to prevent gold coins from coming out of my mouth."
Hedgeway walked up to him, took off his felt hat, and slapped Mayor Grace hard on the face!
"Grace, I know what you want! You want dignity! I'll give it to you!"
Mayor Grace was insulted, but he laughed happily. "Baron," he said, "you gave me what I wanted, and I will naturally give you what you want."
Baron Hedwig didn't want to look at that annoying face anymore. He held his hands and turned sideways. "You can continue to hide your Yordelman identity. I will not pursue the murder ten years ago," he said solemnly.
He said in a loud voice: "Are you satisfied with this?"
"There is also the wedding. Naturally, I cannot unilaterally announce that I, Grace, will bear all the responsibilities at the wedding. You are also a father, and you should know how much such words will hurt my son, Pizza. He will hate me for the rest of his life.
Therefore, we still need to come together to clarify the matter of the two people canceling the wedding. The wedding invitations have been sent to all nearby cities a week ago. It is impossible to cancel the wedding temporarily, so the only way is for us to cancel it at the wedding.
Apologize to all the guests and then come up with a decent reason to cancel the wedding for both of them.”
"A decent reason? Grace, what reason do you want?"
"Emotional discord or anything else is fine, as long as you don't mention the word Yodelman. Sir, you don't have time. Sanctioning me will not do you any good, will it? And Amanda, please sir
Don't let him search my castle again."
Sighing deeply, Baron Hedwig looked at Grace indifferently and said: "Two hundred thousand gold coins! Not one less!"
Grace nodded with a smile.
…
Zhu Tian suddenly stood up from the leather sofa.
OK!
Good on you, Baron Hedgeway!
What a great job!
You are worthy of your noble title. You have really brought the exploitative nature of the nobles to the extreme!
You have robbed me of my nine hundred thousand gold coins, but you still can't silence the king? I still need to fight with that unlucky mayor again.
Dark deal?
"You..." The guard standing aside was startled by this sudden gesture. Then he saw Zhu Tian's violent and cold eyes. At this moment, the third-class soldier of the kingdom was radiated by him.
The momentum was shocking.
He didn't know why the temperament of the person in front of him had undergone such an earth-shaking change in just an instant. What he didn't know even more was why his legs began to tremble.
Zhu Tian stood there with a gloomy expression and was silent for a long time. As if his heart was depressed, he exhaled heavily, and finally sat back slumped.
Such a thing was something he had never imagined.
But he...can understand.
What is there not to understand?
It's just the simplest power-for-money transaction.
The one who was even angrier than him came from another soul in his body.
The constant tension made his heart beat rapidly. This was the emotion coming from Pique.
"Pique, believe me, I will make them pay the price!"
Gradually, his rapid breathing slowly became calmer. A faint yet evil smile reappeared on his face.
The wooden door painted with golden eyes was opened, and a very tall man walked in.
Before he could get closer, Zhu Tian had already cast a cold gaze on him!
The eyes of Baron Hedwig who just walked in were equally cold!
Unconsciously, Baron Hedwig turned his head and saw Zhu Tian sitting in the middle of the room!
Just in mid-air, two cold eyes collided!
The guard standing between the eyes of the two people only felt his whole body trembling as if he was suddenly hit by electricity! At the previous moment, his legs had already begun to weaken. At this time, he felt the strange atmosphere in the room.
, he felt that the air around him began to become thicker.
Finally, Baron Hedwig sat in front of Zhu Tian, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.
The guard breathed a sigh of relief.
Illusion?
Absolutely not!
This is a substantial aura!
Anyone who can serve as a personal guard next to Baron Hedwig has naturally seen some big scenes. He knows that only a guy who is thirsty for countless murders can have such an aura!
As a private soldier, Baron Hedwig naturally had broader knowledge. The moment he walked in the door, he actually hesitated! He was hesitating whether to continue walking inside.
He didn't know why he felt this way, but when he saw the cold eyes under the blue hat, everything seemed to be explained.
The young man in front of him was completely hostile to him!
At this time, the guard was already standing beside Baron Hedwig, and his hand unconsciously rested on the cross sword at his waist.
"We meet again, young man..." Baron Hedwig thought that he could make the atmosphere normal by speaking first, but he suddenly found that his words were trembling!
He was actually trembling!
His aura is so strong!
Baron Hedwig pondered for a while, but said nothing more.
Chapter completed!
