Madame Samuel, welcome to Quebec.

Galen ship? Stupid and clumsy badgers recruit slugs? The lady, dressed as a gunman, boarded the dock surrounded by several guards.

The Quebec administrator, forty-six-year-old León, was personally greeted with several fighters.

It can be seen that this woman's background is not small.

The daughter, known as Madame Samuel, looked around as she stepped on land, then raised her hand and touched the brim of the wide-brimmed hat on her head, and then gestured to Leon slightly.

"This is my husband's fiefdom, and I'm here mainly to see how it's going."

Leon leons stepped up with a flattering smile on his face.

"Is the Earl okay now? I haven't seen him in five years."

On the fair little face of the Samuel woman, a trace of sadness appeared.

"He had died the year before, typhoid fever."

"Oh, what a pity, it's a loss for the country."

Leon was very cooperative and showed a sad expression, but whether he really thought like this in his heart is only God knows.

"Then Madame, have you come here to see the Earl's fiefdom?"

Leon asked.

Lady Samuel nodded, took off her black lambskin gloves, and handed them to one of the guards beside her.

"This time, I will take a look at my deceased husband's fiefdom and take away the furs I bought this year. We Samuel only have such a fief now, so I have to take a look."

The Samuel family, a French aristocrat who did not go down in history at all.

They rise very quickly and disappear very quickly.

The first to discover and come to Quebec was the Samuel family's predecessors.

It was also because of the establishment of Quebec City that the Samuel family was able to continue and improve greatly economically.

But since the death of one of the last men of the Samus family, the current French royal family is planning to nationalize Quebec.

And Mrs. Samuel, the widow, has also become the object of coveted by some big nobles.

Although Quebec is not as prosperous as Europe, it produces furs and precious products here. Although it is far from the European mainland, it is still very attractive.

The furs shipped back here in a year are worth millions of gold livres, which is a lot of money.

Therefore, whoever can master Quebec will be able to master this vast wealth.

Nowadays, the imperial power is not so bullish, so don't look at the royal family is also interested in Quebec, but those big nobles also have to participate in it.

Mrs. Samuel didn't know that she was now a sheep that had always been shining gold. I'm being watched by wolves.

This is the sorrow of being a widow, especially a widow with a great deal of wealth in her hands.

"Madame, you may not have come at the right time, we are now preparing for war with the Iroquois."

Administrative Leon bowed slightly to Mrs. Samuel and said.

"Isn't the war with the Iroquois long over, and my husband has made a pact of peace with them, so why is the war going to start again?"

When Lady Samuel heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

The war with the Iroquois a few years ago, Lady Samuel's husband was the formulator.

Count Samuel and his male son, Xìng, were involved in this war and died in the battle.

It can be said that in order to keep this fiefdom of oneself. The men of Count Samuel's family all gave their lives. Count Samuel was also seriously injured and had to return to Europe to recuperate.

At that time, for the sake of long-term peace and stability. Thus, after his departure, Count Samuel signed an armistice with the Iroquois.

As a result, both Iroquois and Quebec were at peace.

After a few years, everything was peaceful, but now why is the war starting again?

Mrs. Samuel was very curious about this.

However, as the inheritor of the earl's estate and fiefdom, Lady Samuel was not stupid.

She knew that there must be something hidden in this.

And the fact that the men of House Samuel kept dying during the war with the Iroquois a few years ago is a very strange thing in itself.

Know the way. The men of the Samuel family who participated in that war were not those nobles of Europe? Excuse me? They were all strong warriors in the prime of life.

Therefore. These people died a little strangely.

It was for this reason that Count Samuel decided to leave Quebec and return to Europe when he was seriously injured.

And, he told his wife about the doubts and incomprehensions in his heart.

So, Madame Samuel still knows about the situation in Quebec.

And this time, she came, not only to see the fiefdom, but also to avoid the nobles who looked down on her.

However, after arriving in Quebec, Mrs. Samuel realized that the situation here was not as good as she thought.

First of all, the magistrates here are not sent by the family, but are directly subordinate to the royal family.

And those sent by the family did not come to greet him.

Then Mrs. Samuel would not understand.

The managers sent by the family either betrayed the family or died here for no apparent reason.

"Let's not talk about the peace agreement between us and the Iroquois, so who started this war?", Madame Samuel, accompanied by Leon, got into a carriage and slowly marched towards Quebec City.

On the way, Mrs. Samuel asks questions.

"And I didn't see the administration sent by our family, but you and I are not very familiar with it."

Although a widow, Lady Samuel is no easy person.

You must know that the aristocratic widows in this era are not simple women.

Especially Mrs. Samuel, otherwise she wouldn't have guarded the Samuel family's inheritance for so long, and she would have been swallowed by the people who looked down on her.

So, under the forced gaze of Lady Samuel, Leon felt a trace of pressure and fear.

There's nothing wrong with León being part of the royal family, but the way he became the magistrate of Quebec is not bright.

Because Quebec is far away from the emperor, and information communication is not very convenient, this has found loopholes and opportunities for many people.

So the people in Quebec City who were loyal to Samuel's family either died violently or disappeared.

In the end, those who were loyal to the other powerful forces seized the power of Quebec.

Although on the surface, Quebec still seems to belong to the estate and fiefdom of Samuel's widow, but in fact it has been carved up.

What those people are missing today is a superficial legitimacy.

As long as you have that legal status, you can fight other forces with all your might.

After all, it is very despicable on the European continent to steal the property of other nobles.

If this spreads, the reputation of the nobles will all be ruined.

Little girl, you are all widows, what's so scary, no matter how strong you are, you are also a woman.

Leon thought of the real situation that Samuel was about to face now, and he began to slowly stop being afraid of Madame Samuel's gaze. He straightened his body slightly, looked at each other, and said, "Mrs. Samuel, the situation here is quite special, please let me explain it to you slowly, okay. However, I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible, after all, war is imminent, and it will not be good if it hurts you."

Faced with the threat of the red fruit, the Samuel woman narrowed her eyes.

"Oh, thank you so much for reminding me, I'll be mindful of that. But please try to load the goods I need on the ship as soon as possible, so that I can go back, right?"

Mrs. Samuel didn't continue to dwell too much on the issue.

"Ma'am, because the war is approaching, and it's still winter. So we don't have a lot of fur on our hands, and we can't get the amount you ask for.", thinking that he had seen through the situation of the widow Samuel's strong and middle-handed, Leon became a fool.

In his opinion, how big a wave can a widow in a family with all the men and women dead be able to make?

He wasn't going to give Madame Samuel those furs anyway.

He didn't believe that Lady Samuel would dare to do anything to him.

Besides, it is true that there are not so many furs here in Quebec, because those furs have been divided among several powerful forces. Five days ago a ship had returned from Europe, and the cabin of that ship was full of furs.

It can be said that because all the men in the Samuel family are dead, many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have jumped out.

They blatantly abuse their power for personal gain, which is beyond the imagination of many people.

Seeing Leon, who had become a child, Madame Samuel was not surprised at all, because these were all expected by her, so she was not surprised at all.

"No, in February, 30,000 furs were loaded into Quebec and unloaded at the port of Marseille. The ship, if I'm not mistaken, must have belonged to the Orseth family, and I'm curious if they paid for it."

"In May, Madame Esmeralda, representing the royal family, took 150,000 furs from Quebec and loaded them into four ships and trafficked them to the Manhattan area.

"September ......", Madame Samuel looked at Leon with a smile, and kept talking about the things that had happened before the winter, so that Leon's originally relaxed spirit slowly became solemn.

At the same time, with Madame Samuel's words, Leon's forehead even oozed fine white hairy sweat.

What the hell, how did she know these things?

Looking at Leon, who was sweating on his forehead, the smile on Lady Samuel's face became even stronger.

"Leon, there are some things that you can't hide for a long time, and you can't be unaware of them."

"So what, ma'am, is there anything you can do to stop it?"

At this point, Leon knew that no matter how much he tribled, it was useless. Besides, there is no man left in Samuel's house, and he is only facing a widow.

What's so scary about that?

So, Leon suddenly became bullish and coaxed.
