Ye Zhongming was a little surprised that there were nobles in Scabby City, or the Free Territory of Bourbon.
Of course, if these two words were used in the language here, they would definitely not be called aristocrats. After Ye Zhongming understood it, they actually meant the same thing.
In the early days of the city's establishment, the City Council controlled all the rights of the city. Above it, it was responsible for the committee of the Free Territory, and below it, it was responsible for the city.
Of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that the latter is acting in a domineering and arrogant way.
The members of the city committee became the most influential people in the city. Over time, a huge family formed with them as the core.
Most of the committee members are tenured for life, but after getting along, there will be no conflicts. Some committee members will definitely be squeezed out. Therefore, the number of members of the city committee will always be replaced by one or two after a period of time.
Most of these excluded committee members were swallowed up until nothing was left, but some survived tenaciously and gradually formed their own power.
When these people cannot be eliminated due to various reasons, these people have become very special existences in the city.
When they became powerful, even the city committee had to allocate some rights to them, and a whole new class of aristocrats emerged.
Confrontation and cooperation are inherently related to interests. When both parties have a mutually acceptable distribution of rights, they no longer only have confrontation. Most of the time, they will cooperate with each other. If there is a conflict, there will be no open break. Because they want to ensure that
The entire city is under their control. This is their territory and cannot be destroyed by fighting between each other.
The aristocracy was recognized and an unbreakable special group was gradually formed.
Over the years, these people formed the powerful class of the Bourbon Free Territory.
The Xuan Cun aristocrat mentioned by the commander-in-chief had been a member of the Scabie City City Council for his ancestors, and even reached the position of chief committee member. Later, he was excluded in the power struggle because of the huge power of the family. In the end,
Became a noble.
This kind of aristocracy with a long heritage sometimes actually has a living history.
So when the commander-in-chief said those words, Ye Zhongming believed them.
Of course, he did not go by himself, but took the commander-in-chief with him.
With this person as a talisman, on the one hand, the City Guard will not hold him accountable for the time being, and on the other hand, it will be easier to see this nobleman and gain the right to read the diary.
The commander-in-chief held his broken arm and limped along with Ye Zhongming to the home of the great nobleman Xuancun. As the leader of the city guard, he was definitely a big shot in Scabby City. When the servants saw him coming,
Naturally, he immediately went to inform his master.
After a while, a energetic old man appeared in front of Ye Zhongming and the commander-in-chief. After a brief greeting, the noble Xuan Cun knew the purpose of his visit.
He looked suspiciously at the arm held by the commander-in-chief. He had questions in his mind, but he didn't ask. The identities of both parties meant that some things were difficult to talk about face to face, otherwise it would easily lead to embarrassing misunderstandings and even enmity.
"Look at the notes, this..."
Xuan Cun was a little embarrassed, not because of how important the notebook was, but because nobles always regarded some things as very secretive and valuable, even if they didn't know what the value was.
They always want to maintain a sense of mystery and a sense of distance, in order to increase the "heritage" of themselves and the entire family in the eyes of outsiders.
His hesitation was not because he regarded the notes as a treasure, but because he did not want to help in vain.
The commander-in-chief's status is indeed very high, but the status he shows off is not low, and he has an entire huge family behind him. If you really want to compare, he is much better than the commander-in-chief.
Naturally, this does not include the entire city guard, nor will it be counted. The commander-in-chief alone can only represent part of the guard at most, not all of it.
The city council and these nobles all have their own spokesmen in the city guard.
"Master Xuancun, I know that notebook is nothing in your collection of books, so just give me some face and show it to us. This will be good for everyone."
The commander-in-chief was anxious, thinking that these nobles would be very valuable if they took a bug from their house. At this time, couldn't he see what the situation was like? The outsider next to him was just afraid of trouble, so he came here through himself. If it really happened
If you make people angry, your house will be demolished!
The commander-in-chief knew that Ye Zhongming had this ability, and he could feel that even though he and his team had joined forces just now, they could not bring out all the strength of this outsider. And the guards of this noble family were even less powerful than him.
, where is Ye Zhongming’s opponent?
Xuan Cun had a look of displeasure on his face, obviously dissatisfied with the commander-in-chief's attitude.
Who would have thought that before the commander-in-chief could speak, Ye Zhongming had already clapped his hands, and about a hundred red scarf fruits appeared on the table.
"These are all for you. Lend me that notebook to read."
Ye Zhongming, who spoke cleanly and neatly, became extremely anxious after entering this place.
Xuan Cun's eyes lit up, he had a rich family, but a hundred red scarf fruits was not a small amount. He glanced at Ye Zhongming, touched his chin, and wanted to continue blackmailing.
But Ye Zhongming didn't give him this chance at all. He punched the side and hit the wall with a fiery fist. The entire wall was filled with cracks and then shattered into pieces with a crash.
The commander-in-chief and Xuan Cun were both expert observers. They saw that the entire wall was shattered, and the edges were all intact. The floor, ceiling, and walls on both sides were not damaged at all.
What does this mean? It means that Ye Zhongming's control of power has reached a terrifying level.
"Wait a moment, I'll get you some notes."
Xuan Cun is also a person who can take things easily. When he saw this punch, he knew that he couldn't do it. Combined with the commander-in-chief's current state, he was so cunning and cunning that he still didn't understand. He had even guessed Ye Zhongming's attack.
Purpose.
A powerful outsider has come here, and like those outsiders who have been here in history, they are looking for a way out.
After a while, the nobleman took out a simple leather diary and handed it to Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming can speak the language here, but does not understand the writing, but he does not completely believe the commander-in-chief and this noble man. He stood up and said to Xuancun: "After reading it, I will hand it over to the city guard.
Headquarters, go there and get it back."
After saying that, he gave the two people a warning look and left alone.
