"Yes, Lord Richard, we have controlled James before, but James was poisoned in the food the night before and died of the poison."
"Oh? Someone poisoned him?"
After the Silver Wing Legion basically completed the takeover of Piaoxue City, Richard and his team followed Ou Ze and several elders of the Lanster family into the prince's mansion, which had been commanding the Northland for more than a hundred years. Until Richard
When it came to meeting the unlucky Lord Marquis, the people in Piaoxue City told Richard that James was dead.
It's just that Richard acted very calmly and was just curious. He didn't have any other emotions. He even felt that it was a little less troublesome, because from the intelligence, this James was not a peaceful person, and he once wanted to take him.
Life, even if he didn't die this time, Richard would have to find an opportunity to kill him. Richard was not someone who would just laugh it off if someone plotted against him.
"According to our verification, the person who poisoned was the third son of the old Marquis, Andrzej Lanster."
"It seems like the stupidest thing he can do."
Lin Te, who was on the side, actually answered when he heard this. His tone did not show any sadness because of the killing of brothers, but rather a sense of ridicule. It is not surprising that Lin Te was weak in emotion. Marquis Wade himself was only strict but not loving. How many brothers?
The two of us have been scheming and scheming since we were young, and we don't have any deep feelings.
Otherwise, when James came to power, he would not have given up on Piaoxue City and left. James could tolerate the useless third child, but he would never tolerate him, Lin Te.
It's a pity and irony that James died in the hands of the third brother who was looked down upon by everyone.
"Okay, let's bury James properly."
Debts are wiped out after death. Although Richard had the idea of killing James before, but now that the person is dead, Richard will not take out his anger on a corpse. Burying him normally can show his generosity.
"So, where's Andrzej?"
"Lint, what do you think we should do?"
There should be doubts about James' death, but Richard didn't care about it. He didn't even bother to use his brain to think about the dirty deeds involved. After all, elephants don't care about the thoughts of ants on the roadside, and they don't care about Piaoxue City.
No matter how this group of people fight, as long as they want to live, they will not dare to confront Richard. Their so-called conspiracy fight is, at best, nothing more than a bone thrown by Richard.
"Killing the lord without authorization and mutilating his own brother. Lord Richard should seek justice for James and execute such a villain who commits brother-killing."
Lint was also unambiguous. In his eyes, the third son of the Lanster family was just like a stranger who had nothing to do with him. He would kill him at will. Killing him would just give the Hunter family the rule.
Add a touch of legitimacy, although this bit of legitimacy is dispensable to Richard.
"Well, let Master Ou Ze carry out this matter."
Richard nodded and agreed to Lin Te's suggestion. He had always heard that Lin Te was often bullied when he was a child because of his weak constitution. Judging from the attitude of Lin Te, the two brothers, who did not care about killing, it seemed that the rumors were true.
"Yes, sir!"
No matter what Ou Ze thought in his heart, this was the first task he had received since joining his new master, and he immediately accepted it regardless of whether his hands were dirty or not.
Poor Anjie was coaxed into killing James by the Elders. He also dreamed of becoming the new Marquis of the North under the operation of the Elders. Now he was decided without even seeing Richard.
Fate, no one at the scene spoke for him.
Ou Ze acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and several elders were even vaguely happy. They didn't expect that things would go more smoothly than they thought.
"Well, there is another important thing next. Since James is killed, there must be someone to inherit the title of Marquis of the Lanster family. It will be better for the two families to work together in the future."
When Richard mentioned this topic, everyone in the hall suddenly cheered up. This matter was much more important than the decision to execute An Jieyi just now. During the brief moment when Richard paused, Ou Zeji kept a straight face.
He looked expressionless, indicating that this title dispute had nothing to do with him.
The three senators were right with each other. They had negotiated and planned for so long before, leaving a lot of benefits in the name of the Lanster family. It was only natural that they had to win this title. For this reason, they did not hesitate to instigate it.
Andrzej killed James and completely cleared the obstacle. Now the key is coming. They have to stand up and push their own people away.
"Richard..."
"Since no one has spoken, let me make a suggestion."
"Lord Richard..."
"I think Mr. Lint, the youngest son of Marquis Wade, is the most suitable person to inherit the position of Marquis."
"But, Lord Richard, Master Linte is not a knight. It is inconsistent with the laws of the kingdom for him to inherit the title!"
As soon as Richard spoke, several Lanster family elders became anxious. Although Richard's previous behavior was quite excessive, he still had to take into account the rules of the kingdom.
This gave them the illusion that they could use the rules of the kingdom to restrict Richard a little. Especially when Richard agreed to retain the title of Marquis of the Lanster family, they also felt that Richard should have some scruples.
, now Richard directly proposes to let Lin Te inherit the title. It is better to let that idiot Andrzej become the marquis. They are all people who Lin Te took care of.
"Who says Lint is not a knight? Lint has been a knight for a long time, but he just didn't show it before. I'm here to vouch for him. If any of you don't believe it, you can come and have a fight with Lint to test his strength.
.”
Faced with the questioning of the Lanster family elder, Richard suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the elder who stood up to question him, as if he wanted to convince others with reason.
Several elders were stunned at first. It was generally accepted by the Lanster family that Master Lint was too weak to become a knight. How could Richard dare to ask him to accept the challenge?
But looking at Richard's threatening gaze, they instantly understood. This guy was just telling lies with his eyes open. Lin Te was definitely not a knight. This was something they could confirm, but who of them could see Richard looking like this?
If you dare to test Lin Te's strength, the probability of succeeding in the challenge is infinitely close to zero, and the possibility of being killed by Richard's sword is infinite.
Just when several elders were either advancing or retreating, Ou Ze, who had been standing there as a stake, walked out.
"I know the strength of Master Lin Te. I think the young master is indeed the most suitable successor to the title."
Ou Ze seriously recognized Lin Te's strength and broke the deadlock. Several elders looked at Ou Ze in disbelief. The fact that this guy could be so shameless exceeded their imagination.
"Okay, since everyone supports Lin Te to inherit the throne, the ceremony will be held in a few days!"
"I don't think anyone has any objections?"
Under Richard's slightly threatening tone, and considering the troops and dragons outside, several senators finally did not get so greedy that they acted like ostriches, leaving Richard to talk to himself.
Set things down.
Several elders looked depressed, but Ou Ze couldn't help but smile a little in the end. It was quite satisfying to be able to compete with those old guys...
