Sir Fox didn't know how he got to the study on the second floor. He never thought that there would be so many people in Claude's house. The restaurant on the first floor was almost full of people, and they were all those who were famous and status in the town.
No one greeted him, and even those who were chatting stopped talking and just looked at him silently. This silent gaze made him feel like his whole body was covered with thorns, which made him very uncomfortable.
After going up the stairs, there was a small living room, with about ten people sitting and standing there. What made Sir Fox feel better was that Beadel Blunt was also there, wearing the uniform of a garrison officer, and he hurriedly greeted him as soon as he came up.
Go: "Sir, here."
He was referring to a closed door, which should be the study room where the agreement was signed.
Sir Fox looked around the small living room and found several people he knew. He smiled and wanted to say hello, but unexpectedly the person he was looking at suddenly turned his head to the side and pretended to be whispering to the person next to him.
.It is clear that he doesn’t like to see him and doesn’t want to pay attention to him. He doesn’t even want to say hello...
The smile was replaced by embarrassment. Sir Fox turned around numbly and said with a sullen face to Bedelier Blanche beside him: "Let's go in."
Entering the study, there were not many people inside. In addition to Director Korf of the town office and the Ministry of Justice and his two civilian officials, there were also four of Mr. Morsand's lifelong friends, who were also leaders in opening up new routes and merchant ships.
Investors in the team, and they were also witnesses to the original IOU written by Mr. Morsan to Sir Fox. Except for Bokhar’s father, the big businessman Ruby Will of White Deer Town was not present because he went to Siromik County.
All the witnesses who signed the IOU have arrived.
Claude held the hand of his younger brother Brovik and stood beside the desk. Their mother collapsed due to excessive sadness, and her sister endured her grief to take care of her. Even the little snow dog was lying quietly beside the bed in the bedroom to accompany them.
As for the eldest brother, Albert, he didn't go home. He wrote a declaration of giving up his inheritance rights and asked a woman to deliver it. He also asked for two gold crowns. Claude was so angry that he wanted to find him and beat him up too.
Let me vent your depressed mood.
So now he can only make the decision at home, and take his younger brother to deal with these people who come to express their condolences. If Verricro hadn't brought his father and his sister over to help him deal with those trivial matters, he really wouldn't have known
He had no idea what he could do, or what he should do with the useless things in this world.
Early in the morning, he was woken up by his sister who stumbled to the forest farm in a crying mess. He couldn't believe his ears when he heard the bad news that his father had committed suicide by jumping off a building. It was almost like a thunderbolt hitting his head. Time Travel
It has been two years since he arrived in this world. He has been living under the wings of his father. His position as the head of the administrative department of the town office has made Claude find that he has become a small government official. Compared with those hard-working time-travel protagonists in online novels,
His starting point is already considered very high.
At least in Bailu Town, most people would betray their father to save face. So in the two years since Claude came to this other world, life has been smooth and leisurely. He is not like Long Aotian.
The protagonist travels through time, fights against the sky and the earth, killing gods and demons. He is not a son of fate like Zhao Ritian, who gets slapped in the face all the way. He has always thought that he is an ordinary person, and he can just choose to live an ordinary and comfortable life for the rest of his life.
To a certain extent, the time traveler believes that he is more suitable to be a hermit and hide himself among the crowd. Therefore, learning magic and robbing black snakes will not have any psychological burden on him. The only requirement is that he does not get caught by others.
Just discover his identity.
That line from Li Bai's poem: When things are done, go away and hide deep in your body and name. Perhaps every Chinese man has a heroic dream in his heart, so the time traveler is very satisfied with his current life. He is not satisfied with his current life.
Don't want to change anything.
But what the time traveler didn't expect was that his father in this body, Mr. Morsan, the administrative director, would go through so many twists and turns in planning a new route to the Nubisian continent with his friends in order for him to go further.
The family's originally beautiful and happy life was turned into a mess. But now his sister came over and told him that the father of this body, Mr. Morsang, would choose to commit suicide by jumping off the building to end his life.
It was too late to regret, and the crying sister next to him pulled his arm, causing Claude to wake up from his stupor. He didn't even have time to wash his face, put on his clothes, took his money bag, went out, got into the carriage, and hurried home. When he got home, he was sad.
Until her mother collapsed, Claude was very busy for a while.
After settling his mother down, he asked a neighbor to help him drive his carriage to ask for the pharmacist. Only then did Claude have time to see the scene where his father committed suicide by jumping off the building. Mr. Morsand was still lying there, but his body had been covered with wounds from his mother.
He and several neighbors covered him with a sheet, and the blood spread across a large area on the ground, the dark red color was shocking.
Several patrol officers were already at the scene to maintain order and prevent the onlookers from getting too close. Claude knelt directly in front of the body. He felt very regretful. It had only been two or three days since the incident happened.
The change happened too fast, and I didn't react. Otherwise, if I had killed Sir Fox earlier, nothing would have happened.
As for whether killing Sir Fox would cause an uproar, Claude couldn't care less. In White Deer Town, he killed several members of the Black Snake Society. No matter how big the incident was, no big shot would care. Anyway, the fate of these trash
Big shots are never taken lightly. But if one of them is touched, for example, Claude really goes to kill Sir Fox, then not only the three southwest counties will be shocked, but even the royal capital will send special personnel to investigate and arrest the murderer.
…
It wasn't until Viricault hurried over after hearing the news that Claude realized that he had been kneeling in front of his father's body for nearly half an hour. A patrolman came over and asked Claude to give in with pity. Someone from the Ministry of Justice had already come to ask for help.
Conduct an autopsy. Fortunately, Mr. Morsan had written a will before committing suicide, and the cause of death was clear, so the entire examination process was over quickly.
Before leaving, the civil servant from the Ministry of Justice instructed Claude to first go to the temple to buy a coffin to contain Mr. Morsant, and then arrange a place of condolence, etc. Claude was confused. In the end, Verricro simply drove
The carriage went home and picked up his sister and father to take care of these trivial matters. Only then did Claude have some time to read the will left by his father.
The will written by Mr. Morsan before his death was for Claude to read. He knew very well who the family could rely on after he left. In his will, he told Claude that little Bouwick should inherit the family business.
The intention was very straightforward. With the huge debt of five hundred gold crowns weighing on his head, Albert must have given up the eldest son's right to inherit the family business. Therefore, he asked Claude not to act on impulse and inherit without authorization.
The family should bear the debt to prevent his suicide from being in vain...
This was really something Claude never expected. Although he had been taught the current legal provisions of the kingdom during his three years in junior high school, no one was willing to memorize these complicated and cumbersome things seriously. It was enough to just pass the exam. Unexpectedly,
There is such a "Bill of Debt" that allows Mr. Morsanne to use his own life to make Sir Fox's plan come to nothing. Waiting twenty years to recover this debt will become a big joke for Sir Fox.
It’s just that the price was too high, and it even required Mr. Morsant’s life. Claude finally understood why his father chose to commit suicide, because other than that, he had no other way to fight back against Sir Fox’s attack on his family property.
Twenty years is a long time. As long as this debt is delayed, who knows what will happen in the future?
With the help of Viricero's family of three, Mr. Morsan's funeral soon became in order. Viricero drove a carriage all over the town, either delivering letters to Mr. Morsan's good friends during his lifetime, or
to purchase the necessary items. Under the guidance of Sister Viricro, Uncle Kubrick and several neighbors opened the open space in front of the big red brick house as a place of condolence, placed Mr. Morsand's coffin in the middle, and
A painter was invited to paint Mr. Morsant's portrait.
Claude has been staying at home to receive condolences from his father's former friends. These are all people with status and status in Bailu Town. Those who can enter the house must at least have national status. As for those with insufficient status, they are all taken away by Kubury.
Uncle Ke stopped him. They only need to place a paper flower folded from white paper on Mr. Molsang's coffin at the condolence site outside, and then take away a small white silk flower arrangement bought from the Temple of War.
Just put it on your chest as a token of condolences.
Soon, Mr. Morsand's coffin was surrounded by countless white paper flowers, and the open space in the condolence field almost became a sea of white flowers. Viricero had already made three trips to the Temple of War. He said that the war
Most of the priests in the temple were busy making small silk flowers. One pfenni each of the small silk flowers already cost three gold crowns.
It was not until noon that little Brovik told Claude that he was hungry. Claude then realized that he had not eaten anything or drank a sip of water since he had been busy in the morning. He hurriedly found something to fill himself and his brother.
I also brought food and drinks to my sister and mother.
Fortunately, this is the busiest day. As long as the inheritance rights and debt agreement are finalized, the next two days will be easier. The custom of mourning in this world is that after three days of mourning, the coffin must be sent to the temple cemetery for burial.
At that time, you will also need to ask the pastor to come and pray, so that the souls of the deceased relatives can be sent to the kingdom of gods for eternal rest.
Claude watched coldly as Sir Fox led Bedelir Blanche into the study. There was no expression on his face, as if he were looking at a lifeless object.
Sir Fox wanted to nod to the people in the study, but found that no one was paying attention to him, so he had no choice but to say hello to Director Korf.
Director Korf nodded at the loan agreement on the table and said expressionlessly: "Sign your name here, Sir Fox. Please act quickly. Time is very tight. We still need to return to the town hall to prepare the documents."
Sir Fox had no choice but to sneer and step forward, but when he picked up the pen and prepared to sign, he seemed to feel four disdainful and contemptuous glances coming from behind. He suddenly felt that the pen in his hand was so heavy that he could hardly write his name. In his heart
It is clear that the four witnesses in the study all knew what this IOU was about. It was just that they signed their names at that time, and now they had to come back to make it false. In other words, they also became Fox.
The knight forced Mr. Morsan's accomplice to death.
After the former patrol supervisor stepped forward to sign his name as a witness, he turned around and took a sip at Sir Fox: "If I had known that something like this would happen at that time, even if I were killed, I would not be a witness, and
I will also advise my Morsan brothers not to write that IOU..."
Four identical loan agreements signed and stamped, one belongs to the debtor, one belongs to the creditor, and the other two were taken back to the town hall for filing.
Sir Fox took the creditor's agreement, showed an amiable smile, and turned to Claude: "You are Claude, right? I'm sorry, I didn't know that such an unfortunate thing would happen. If I had known that this would happen, I would have done it yesterday.
Rush back from the county town to see your father. In order to express my apology, if you are willing to use this house as a mortgage to repay me, then all the remaining debts will be written off. Do you think that is okay?"
Although a new loan agreement has been signed, no one can object if the debtor is willing to repay the debt in advance. This is voluntary, not forced, and is not illegal.
Claude's eyes, as if looking at a dead thing, which made Sir Fox feel very uncomfortable, finally changed, and now revealed ridicule and contempt. He laughed, revealing a white smile.
Teeth: "I assure you, Dear Sir Fox, that this big red brick house will always be the property of the Field family during your lifetime..."
