Chapter 160: A Visitor from Heaven
Even the eldest prince, whom he once assisted, was very prejudiced against him, because until now, the eldest prince's best daughter, Princess Angela, was still obsessed with Coleford, even to the point of tears in her face.
How can His Royal Highness the eldest prince, who plans to sell his daughter for a good price, not hate?
Therefore, Clifford has no other way to go now, before his strength has not developed to a certain extent, he can only hug Taylor's thighs tightly, once Taylor gets tired of him and kicks him away, then he can only be marginalized, no matter how much he jumps, it is useless. In the end, there may be an accident one day.
In order not to offend Taylor, the big boss, Cliffor, could only choose to offend these squires in Heihe County who did not pay taxes, not to mention, offended them Clifford did not feel guilty at all, because he knew that this group of goods was a consistent pretending to be a criminal, and there was no good thing, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the biggest moths in the kingdom.
After returning to the county office, the other subordinates waiting here were stunned when they saw that Coolford had brought back so many silver dollars, and hurriedly surrounded him, and said to Coolford in an incredible tone: "Master, are you really asking for the IOU back?" It's unbelievable, how did you get back? β
The corners of Clifford's mouth smiled slightly, and he said an answer that almost shocked everyone: "Rob it." β
Yasan Laocheng was serious, and always thought that their team had finally come to this day, and they must not take any more risks, because neither he nor his partners wanted to live the precarious life of the past, after hearing this answer from Clifford, he chuckled in his heart and asked tentatively: "Robbed?" What the hell is going on? Ask the master to inform his subordinates. β
In the end, it was Olivia who told everyone about Clifford's smashing of the shop, and sighed, his face full of sorrow, in his opinion, his master was in big trouble this time.
Yasan and all the subordinates looked at each other, and said in their hearts: The master is usually extremely smart, why would he make such a low-level mistake now? Isn't this an overt sign of giving a handle? No one can say how many protΓ©gΓ©s Bruce has, but when the time comes, as long as he instructs his students to seize the matter and complain to the old king Frederick VII, it is estimated that even Taylor will not be able to save him, and maybe he will end up worse than Hogg.
After all, Hogg is just taking bribes, he is a clear robbery, there is wood?
Seeing the expressions of all his subordinates, Clifford hurriedly relieved: "Don't worry, I have my own plans for this matter, and that old guy from Bruce can't fight me." β
After speaking, it was cold in an instant, only a few wisps of light breeze passed by gently, and it was obvious that no one believed what he said.
Clifford didn't bother to explain the reason to everyone, anyway, he was the master, he could do whatever he wanted, here, no one would question his decision, so he waved his hand and said to Winnie: "Winnie, you are responsible for counting the money, and I will ask for a specific number today." β
"Yes, master." Winnie raised her eyes and looked at Clifford, there was a little panic in her eyes, she is a woman, and the master's maid, I am afraid that there is no autonomy in this life, her life and death honor and disgrace are all pinned on the master's body, the master is good at mixing, she also has face, if the master is planted, she can only be trampled on for a lifetime. Seeing that the current master was so unreliable, she was still a little upset in her heart, so she couldn't help but show a trace of worry in her eyes and tone, both for herself and her master.
Clifford was in no mood to pay attention to her little woman's mentality now, went straight back to the room, lay on the bed and began to sleep, it was too exciting to smash the field with people, and I was excited not to want it when I thought about it, but exciting things always consumed people's energy, and today's things were enjoyable, but it also made him a little sleepy, and after returning to the room, he fell on the bed and began to sleep, and called Liana to accompany him.
The words are divided into two ends. In the Bruce Mansion, Bruce, who was laughing with his little lover, heard that Clifford had led someone to copy the largest money bank in his name, and immediately became furious, "snapped", smashed the cup, and said angrily: "This county order is really lawless, and he dares to do such a robber act in broad daylight!" Lao Tzu wants to go to the king to sue him, let him go around without eating, no, let him go to the gallows! β
At this time, his butler hurriedly ran over and persuaded him: "Your Excellency, don't be angry, please think about it, we are borrowing money from the county government first, and if we find someone to impeach him, he will definitely defend this matter." According to the rules of the kingdom, you can't borrow money from the county government, and if someone takes the handle to play the problem, then we will lose more than we gain. β
After being reminded by the housekeeper, Bruce immediately calmed down, this is true, although he has some power, but it is far from the point of covering the sky with one hand, if someone in the court deliberately makes it difficult for him to disgust him, it is enough for him to stand it.
The more he thought about this, the more angry Bruce became, what kind of bird county order is this, what kind of bird county order is simply stunned, where is it not like this in these years? This is already an unspoken rule, you helped me make a fortune, and when your term of office expires, I will help you find someone to intercede, give you a good evaluation, and help you get promoted, the best of both worlds, wouldn't it be better?
Is this really the legendary Lord Qingtian, a person who is dedicated to the public and has no favoritism?
For the first time, Bruce had such a question in his heart, could such a person really exist?
Shaking his head and dispersing all his messy thoughts, Bruce asked his butler coldly, "Then what do we say?" Did you just spare that kid? β
The butler was also a veteran of the Yin Man, and he was very loyal to Bruce, so he trusted him deeply, and in order to repay Bruce for his kindness, he bowed to Bruce and said, "Of course you can't cheapen that kid!" We can use the same method as Hogg to deal with that guy Clifford, if nothing else, just look at the three beautiful little maids beside him, you know that this person must be a womanizer, I guarantee that he will fall if he lasts for three months at most. β
Bruce nodded slightly, but still said with a little unease: "Hogg is his senior brother, his senior brother has already been planted on this, will he make the same mistake?" β
The housekeeper saw through the world, a profound smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and said: "There is no cat in this world that does not eat fish, if the lessons of the past are useful, then there are no corrupt officials in this world for a long time." β
"Hahahaha." Bruce laughed loudly, laughing so heartily, in his opinion, it was his greatest pleasure to make Clifford unlucky, as for the fact that he was once one of those corrupt officials, and was accidentally scolded by his own housekeeper, he subconsciously ignored it.
The next day, when the sun was three poles.
"Yawn." Clifford finally woke up faintly, patted his mouth with his hand, and said to Liana, who was cleaning up the room, "What time is it?" β
"Master, are you awake? I've been tired these days. When Liana saw that Clifford was awake, she immediately put down her work, walked quickly to Clifford's bed, picked up the basin and towel, and whispered, "Wash up first." The slave and maid have breakfast hot for you, and you can eat it in a while. β
Clifford simply washed his face, took the water cup handed by Liana and rinsed his mouth, and said, "You little girl can't be that she hasn't eaten again, right?" β
Liana lowered her head and said with a hint of shyness: "The slave wants to serve the master to eat." β
"If you're hungry in the future, you can eat first, don't wait for me, I don't want my good little maid to be hungry." Clifford patted Liana on the head and smiled softly.
"Thank you." Liana grinned loudly, took Clifford's clothes and draped them over for him, and walked to the table with Clifford in her arms.
Once Clifford was seated, Liana ran out as fast as she could, telling the low-ranking maid who was guarding the door to bring the Earl's meal.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Master Clifford had eaten his breakfast, steaks, omelettes, and milk, which were commonplace in later generations, were still luxuries in this era, and could only be enjoyed by the nobles, and it was difficult for the common people to eat such food even during the New Year.
In the final analysis, it is the reason why the productivity is too low, and after the brother has built an industrial power, he has come up with the magic weapon of tractors and harvesters, which has greatly improved the productivity of agriculture, and ensured that all the people can eat such meals.
"Master, try this side dish, it's newly developed by the chef, it's very delicious." Liana smirked and said as she put a pickle into Clifford's dish.
"Mmmm, yes, it's good, I haven't eaten pickles like this for a long time." Clifford said thoughtfully, this plate of pickles evoked memories of his previous life, and he was full of emotion for a while.
"Have you ever eaten pickles like this before?" Liana looked at Clifford with a bewildered expression, she thought she had come up with something new to please her master, but she didn't expect her master to eat it.
Clifford was stunned for a moment, and was thinking about making up some nonsense to fool the past, when suddenly he heard "Knock, knock, knock" outside the door. There was a knock at the door, and he said, "Whoever is outside, come in." β
But I saw Winnie push the door in, looking very haggard, with a trace of red blood in her eyes, obviously she didn't sleep well last night.
Seeing his beloved beauty haggard like this, Coolford felt a headache in his heart, and said gently: "Winnie, are you okay?" Have you had breakfast? β
Winnie's heart warmed, and the fatigue caused by last night's overtime work was also swept away, she smiled sweetly, closed the door, and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine, I just finished breakfast." I'm sorry to disturb my meal. β
"It's okay, Winnie." Clifford pointed to the place beside him, motioned for her to sit down, and said, "I'm done eating." How? Got the accounts cleared so quickly? β
Winnie Yingying sat down, folded her hands on her knees, looked like a lady, and said, "How can the slave and maid not be attentive to the things that the master has explained?" After the inspection of the slaves and maids, the master seized a total of 125,477 silver dollars this time. β
"More than 120,000." Clifford smiled and said, "It seems that we have made a lot of money this time." β
Winnie was still a little worried about what Clifford had done, hesitated for a moment, and said quietly: "What the master said is that we can earn more than 20,000 silver dollars this time, but this money is not good to say that it was robbed, if they find our back account, what should we do?" β
"Don't worry, Niko. The money in hand won't let it fly away, and as for Bruce, it's just a good outsider, and I've got a way to deal with him. "Clifford said that he ate a steak with red wine, which is simply delicious, and this day, the beauty is very good.
Although Winnie was still a little worried, since her master had said so, she naturally didn't want to say anything, and suddenly, something suddenly remembered in her mind, and said, "That's right, master." He has done the matter for you, Master Tobaruk, and let you go to his house for a banquet tonight, and by the way you can meet the foreigner who made the lamp. β
"Oh? Got an appointment so soon? Mr. Baruch is really efficient. Collifer was full, so he pushed his plate forward, stood up, and smiled.
If you talk about the things that Clifford is most concerned about in Heihe County, in addition to tax issues, I am afraid that it is a visitor from the other side of this mysterious ocean.
The other party has advanced technology, and if you don't take this opportunity to talk about it, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it in the future.
Collifer took Winnie's tender little hand and said, "Winnie, you worked hard last night, so you can rest well during the day today, and when it is night, you can accompany me to meet that mysterious figure, okay?" β
"Yes, master." Winnie smiled sweetly and said that following her master out to socialize was undoubtedly something that made her very happy, because it meant that she still occupied a very important position in her master's heart.
At night. Clifford is about to go out with the well-dressed Winnie, but is stopped by Sophia.
Sophia curtsy to Collifo and said apologetically, "Master, sorry to bother. I don't think you and Sister Winnie can just go out like this, now that you've offended Bruce, there's no guarantee that he won't take the opportunity to attack you, it's too dangerous for you to go out like this. β
Clifford was a little unimpressed, and said with a little arrogance: "I don't think so, no matter how you say that your master is also a dignified county magistrate of Heihe County, does that little old man of Bruce really dare to attack the incumbent kingdom officials?" β
Sophia still refused to give up, took a step forward, and stood in front of Clifford, a trace of hesitation flashed on her face, but finally she said firmly: "Master, as your chief of guard, I don't agree with you going out casually at such a time without preparation. Master, you are our backbone, if you make a mistake, our group of people will be doomed, so please think twice before acting. β
