Chapter 320: Trading Power for Money

The midday sun shines through the huge wooden cut-outs, leaving beautiful frecks of light on the expensive carpet.

This is a drawing room in the castle. Everything is in luxurious dark gold tones. Hundreds of golden eyes formed an intricate and eerie pattern on the silver-rimmed double-opening wooden door. The tree-shaped sconces exude a primitive, waiting for the night. The carpet depicting dozens of beasts and plants is now being baptized by daylight.

The parlor was extremely large, twenty paces away in length and width. The oil paintings hanging on the walls around it are brightly colored. Almost every one of them has a gilt font underneath, which seems to announce its high value.

The soft sofa that looked like cotton was placed in the center of the living room, and at this moment, Zhu Tian was deeply trapped in this black python sofa.

"I've been waiting here for half an hour. He said to the guards who were standing aside, "Don't you even have afternoon tea here?"

The guard was dressed in shiny light armor, with the kingdom's standard crosssword pinned to his waist, and a grim face hidden under a silver iron helmet. "No," he said, "Baron Hajvi is now taking matters into account. You don't have an appointment, so you'll have to wait until Baron Hydgwick is done before I can come to see you. What's more...... "What he wants to say is, besides, you are a yodelman, what qualifications do you have to come here for afternoon tea?" ”

Zhu Tian yawned, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

In the dark, his spiritual power tentacles had already reached out, and it only took two breaths for him to find Baron Hygivi in the castle.

At this moment, Baron Hejvi is indeed busy.

I saw a man with half white hair standing opposite him, his hair was a little messy and a little greasy. The man was dressed in light gray casual clothes, but with a pair of bright yellow baggy trousers. This is completely inconsistent with any of the matching aesthetics. It's like casual clothes found in a closet.

But across from him was a true hereditary nobleman, Baron Hydgvi.

It stands to reason that there is no etiquette that requires formal attire to be worn when meeting nobles, but it is not so sloppy as to dress so sloppily.

Under his bright yellow baggy pants, there are actually two slippers in tow!

"Grace, I need money! lots and lots of money!" almost straight to the point. Baron Hygivi said to the man in front of him, "And you have money, lots and lots of money. ”

"Private property is sacrosanct, it is the law of the kingdom, Lord Baron. ”

When Baron Hydwick heard this, he said with sarcasm in his tone: "Murder pays for life, this is also the law of the kingdom, Lord Grace." ”

"It's all gone, sir, you can't condemn me. The corners of Grace's mouth cracked, and there seemed to be a few teeth missing from the black hole in her mouth.

Silence, silence that lasted for more than ten seconds.

"But I have the power to remove you from office!

"Your Excellency, you don't know where my property is, so you have nowhere to use your power. Grace's tone was still respectful, but her words were cold. "Well, yes, I have another mine, in the Dolong Mountains, a gold mine! As long as I let the slaves dig hard, it will bring me hundreds of gold coins almost every day! If I die, the gold mine will have no owner, and you, if you send a large number of men, will naturally be able to occupy the gold mine in a very short time! Half a month?Ten days? I believe that if you are willing to work hard, you may be able to find the gold mine and occupy it in five days. But...... You only have two days left. You can't just pop up a lot of gold coins in a gold mine, and it takes time to mine gold, and it takes time to smelt gold, and right now, what you lack most is time. The fact that the king is exploiting all the nobles of the entire continent is almost semi-public, because the nobles of the entire continent are exploiting the commoners in their territory. Well, you don't want to exploit civilians, so you came to exploit me? Yes, I have the strength to help you, but please give me the same value. ”

After listening to his tirade, Baron Hygivi said coldly: "I saved your life, isn't this value 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. You want them all without giving me any compensation. This is not logical. ”

Hearing this, Baron Hajvi jumped straight from his chair. "Grace, you know, I can kill you at any time!" he roared like a beast at the dejected-looking mayor. "And you, you can only lead the neck and kill!"

"Yes, I can only kill by the neck, but I can keep my mouth shut before I cut off my head, so that the gold doesn't come out of my mouth. ”

Hajvi walked up to him, took off his felt hat, and slapped Mayor Grace in the face like that!

Time stood still for a moment, and Baron Hydgwick pondered for a long time, and finally, the gloom between his brows slowly dispelled.

"Grace, I know what you want! You want dignity! I'll give it to you!"

Mayor Grace was insulted, but he laughed and laughed merrily. "Lord Baron," he said, "you have given me what you want, and I will give you what you want." ”

Baron Hydgwick didn't want to look at that nasty face anymore, he held his hands and turned sideways, "You can continue to hide your identity as a yodelman, and I won't pursue the murder ten years ago," he said in a deep voice, "Are you satisfied?"

"And the wedding, of course I can't unilaterally declare that I Grace takes all the responsibility at the wedding, you are also a father, you should know how much it will hurt my son Pisa to say this, he will hate me for the rest of his life. Therefore, the matter of the cancellation of the wedding by two people still needs to be clarified together, the wedding card has been sent to all the nearby cities a week ago, and it is impossible to cancel it temporarily, so the only way is to apologize to all the guests at the wedding. Then come up with a decent reason to cancel the wedding of the two of them. ”

"Grace, what do you want?"

"It's okay to have a feud or anything, as long as you don't mention the word Yodelman. Your Excellency, you don't have time, and it won't do you any good to sanction me, will you, and Amanda there, please don't let him search my castle again. ”

With a deep sigh, Baron Hygivi looked at Grace indifferently and said, "Two hundred thousand gold coins!

Grace nodded with a smile on her face.

......

Zhu Tian stood up from the leather sofa abruptly.

All right!

Good for you, Baron Hygivi!

That's a good job!

You are worthy of your title of nobility, and you really bring out the essence of aristocratic exploitation to the extreme!

Lao Tzu's 900,000 gold coins have been snatched away by you, and you can't stop the king's mouth?

"You ......" The guard standing by was startled by the sudden stance. Then he saw Zhu Tian's violent and cold eyes. In this instant, the third-class soldier of the kingdom was stunned by the momentum he exuded.

He didn't know why, just in the moment now, the temperament of the person in front of him had undergone such a earth-shaking change. What he didn't know was why his legs were shaking.

Zhu Tian stood there with a gloomy face, silent for a long time. As if in a state of depression, he exhaled heavily, and finally, he sat back down.

Such a thing was something he had never imagined.

But he ...... Understandable.

What's not to understand?

It's just the simplest deal of power and money.

More angry than him came from another soul in the body.

The constant tension made his heart beat at a rapid pace, an emotion from Pique.

"Pique, trust me, I'll make them pay for Grace!"

Gradually, his rapid breathing slowly stabilized. A faint but wicked smile resurfaced on his face.

The wooden door painted with golden eyes was opened, and a man of extremely tall stature entered.

Before he could get closer, Zhu Tian had already cast a cold gaze on him!

The gaze of Baron Hygivi, who had just walked in, was equally cold!

Feeling it in the dark, Baron Haijivi turned his head and saw Zhu Tian sitting in the middle of the room!

In mid-air, two cold gazes collided!

The guard standing between the two of them only felt as if he had been suddenly struck by electricity! At that moment, his legs had already begun to weaken. At this moment, he felt the air around him begin to become viscous with the strange atmosphere in the room.

Finally, Baron Haijivi sat in front of Zhu Tian, and everything seemed to be calm.

The guard breathed a sigh of relief.

Delusion?

Absolutely not!

This is a substantial aura!

The person who can be a personal guard by Baron Hydgwick's side has naturally seen some big scenes, and he knows that only the guy who loves to kill countless people can have such an aura!

With such a pro-soldier, Baron Hydgwick naturally has a wider range of knowledge. The moment he walked through the door, he hesitated!

I don't know why I 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!

By this time, the guard was already standing beside Baron Hygivi, his hand unconsciously resting on the cross-sword at his waist.

"We've met again, young man......" Baron Hajvi felt that he could make the atmosphere normal by speaking first, but he suddenly found that his words were trembling!

I'm trembling!

This young man's aura is very intelligent!

Baron Hydgvi muttered for a moment, but did not speak again.

Zhu Tian was silent, his eyes habitually narrowed, and he looked at him so indifferently.
