Chapter Twenty-Three: Acting Officer Henry

It's too much, Cecil couldn't help but rush up to take care of this matter, Andy stopped him: "Lord Knight, don't be so impulsive, now there are only two of us, it's better to look at someone else's territory." Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Listening to Andy's words, Cecil forcibly suppressed his anger and squeezed into the crowd to watch as the family continued to threaten John, the farmer who owed them money

"John, you better let Jenny go with us obediently, you should know that it is no good to rebel against Lord Henry." A man who appears to be the leader of the group of bullies says that this person looks like a monkey with a sharp beak and cheeks, which is annoying to look at

"Lord Wycombe, I just borrowed 50 silver coins from your casino, and now I have sold all the chickens and ducks from beginning to end, and I have paid you back 1 gold coin, so you can raise your noble hand and let me go." John said pitifully.

"I don't think you know how to count, John, when you started to pay us back, your interest had already risen to 5 gold coins, and the little money you paid back was not even a fraction of it, and now you have owed us 15 gold coins, you send Jenny to the adult's mansion, our debt can be paid off twice, and if it is too late, I am afraid that it will not be enough to add your little daughter Lisa." As he spoke, he glanced at the 6-year-old girl next to Jenny.

"It's only 15 gold coins, and I'll pay them back," Cecil finally couldn't help himself, and spoke from the crowd.

Andy couldn't help but stand up when he saw Cecil, and secretly sighed in his heart, although Cecil's tone is still relatively kind, but seeing Henry's subordinates who don't know whether they are alive or dead, it is estimated that it is inevitable to do something. It seems that in the end, it will still be solved by fighting.

Sure enough, the one named Wycombe didn't buy it: "I'm sorry, when we borrowed the debt, we said that if we borrowed money, we needed to use Jenny to pay off the debt, and our lord's house is not short of money now, only people, do it!" With that, he gestured and was ready to rob people.

Cecil laughed angrily when he saw that he was so ignorant of the times, and without even drawing his sword, he grabbed Wycombe's collar and threw it out as soon as he raised his hand. Wycombe was just a level 13 civilian template, Cecil was now more than 10 times stronger than him, Wycombe flew into a nearby straw pile without humming, and planted his head in the straw pile.

Andy nodded secretly when he saw Cecil throwing Wycombe on the straw pile, Cecil was still measured, and he didn't have the habit of killing people with his hands.

When the other villains saw that their heads were thrown so easily, they no longer paid any attention to Jenny, and rushed towards Cecil.

Cecil directly struck a divine punishment, and a holy light impact swept over, and the five or six people who ran in front were directly lifted up 2 meters high, and they all fell heavily to the ground, and they could only wail there. Cecil is still merciful to his subordinates, otherwise with Cecil's current mental power, the dozen or so family members before and after can be directly killed.

The people who fell to the ground were still groaning, and when the people behind saw Cecil so powerful, naturally no one dared to come up and brush his tiger whiskers again. I wanted the head to indicate what to do in the back, but I saw that Wycombe's head was still stuck upside down in the straw, and my feet were fluttering, and I wanted to run and was afraid to go back, Wycombe's back account, and I was not advancing or retreating for a while, so I stood in place in a daze, which was very embarrassing.

Cecil walked over to the haystack where Wycombe was, grabbed him by the legs, and lifted his head out of the haystack with a lift upward. Then he threw him to the ground, and Wycombe fell to the ground like a dog eating, and this fall threw him to the ground, and his eyes were full of gold stars. Wycombe was just about to struggle to his feet, when he suddenly felt a weight on his head, and one of Cecil's feet had stepped on his head.

"The decree jointly formulated by the king and the nobles clearly prohibits the acting officials in various places from opening casinos and lending usury, and you dare to do such a thing in the name of the acting officials, do you know that if the acting officials know about it, they will ask for your head." Cecil said to the head at his feet

Of course, Wycombe knew that Cecil was taking advantage of him here, but now that he had been trampled under the feet of the other party, the other party was willing to say this because he didn't want to offend the acting officer Lord Henry, in this case, he could only get off the donkey, after all, the situation was stronger than people. Let's go first, go back to the city and meet Master Henry, and then find a way to get back to this field.

Wycombe immediately relented: "It's me who deserve to die, opening a casino under the guise of Lord Henry, lending money privately, this adult's lesson is that the little one is willing to accept punishment and sincerely change his ways." β€œ

Cecil was quite surprised by this, the other party's reaction was quite fast, and it seemed that the ability to steer the rudder in the wind was not bad. So he said: "According to the law, opening a casino and lending usury requires a 100-fold penalty, and you can pay this John 1,500 gold coins." ”

Although his heart hurts, his head is still trampled under his feet, and his life is naturally the first in front of him, and Wycombe immediately agreed without even paying the price. As soon as Cecil lifted his foot, Wycombe immediately rolled off the ground. Fortunately, these dozen or so people came to the manor to collect taxes this time, and they had already looted a few farmers in front of them, and they quickly collected 1,500 gold coins.

", by the way, greet Lord Henry, and say that Lord Cecil will visit him another day on the orders of Count Cassikud." Wycombe and more than 10 other people hurriedly got up and fled in a hurry.

Cecil and Andy hurriedly gave the 1,500 gold coins they had received to John and the other villagers, and the crowd surrounded the two of them, and the words of praise were overflowing. For the first time in his life, Cecil enjoyed the thrill of the stars holding the moon, and his heart was inevitably a little fluttering. Seeing Jenny looking at herself shyly, she was a little uneasy.

Andy frowned, knowing that he had already startled the snake, and Henry already knew the origin of the two of them, so he must have taken precautions against himself. It seems that the next action should be cautious.

Cecil and Andy talked with the surrounding farmers, and then learned that Henry was also expropriating the farmers under his rule, and ordinary farmers only needed to give half of the income in the territory to the nobles, but Henry actually forcibly demanded 80%, and if he didn't give it, he would use his private arms to arrest and coerce, and many farmers who did not pay the full rent according to his requirements were beaten to death in prison. In addition, he also opened a casino, took out a mortgage, and even opened a brothel, Jenny said that he was arrested to work in Henry's mansion, but in fact he was sent to a brothel to make money for him after Henry himself vented his desires.

Henry's various actions in recent years are really innumerable, the farmers under his rule did not hate him, Cecil was also angry in his heart, originally he was only passive to kill this acting officer Henry to complete the earl's task, but now after listening to Henry's evil deeds, he now has a deep hatred for Henry, and is determined to punish him.

Cecil looked at John and Jenny's parents and the oppressed farmers next to him and felt a little pain, this manor was nominally the knight's manor that the Count had given him Cecil, his food, clothing, housing and transportation were the result of the labor of these farmers day after day, year after year, these people can be said to be his food and clothing, these people's work has fed their lazy work for 18 years, but they have been treated like this, Cecil only feels a little heartache in his heart. The resentment against Acting Henry increased a few points.

Cecil and Andy didn't stay in this manor for long, the two of them went to several manors in charge of Henry, and the feedback they got was almost half a pound and two taels in John's manor, and the rampant expropriation of Henry's acting official was boiling in almost every manor, and it seemed that killing this acting official was also the desire of the people.

The two stayed overnight, and the next day they stopped staying at the manor and entered Henry's town of Dunwall, the only city in Kent, which served as the center of jurisdiction over the dozen or so manors around it. Compared with the city of Isara, the royal capital of millions of people, Dunwall City cannot be called a city at all, the 5-meter-high city walls have fallen into disrepair in many places, and there are no guards in the city, everything is done by hundreds of mercenaries hired by Acting Officer Henry, these mercenaries are only 15 ordinary levels, and people of this level can basically not be called qualified for the temple. Of course, it is unlikely that this city will have any temples. There were only three or four thousand people in the whole town, and not only were there no temples, but even basic trade unions could never appear in such a small town, and the only lively ones were a few taverns. Even in this small town in the middle of nowhere, taverns thrive.

Andy directly took Cecil into the tavern, this kind of mixed place is the best place to inquire about the news, Cecil also agreed to this arrangement, now he has no clue how to deal with this Henry, it is not bad to inquire about him first. Unexpectedly, just as they were about to enter the tavern, a polite middle-aged man came to them. He smiled and said: "Hello Lord Cecil, I am Lilda, the butler of Henry, the lord of this city, and it is an honor for me to know that you have come to Wharton City, please make sure to go to the city hall, Lord Henry will welcome you wholeheartedly." ”

Cecil didn't expect that they would be targeted by Henry as soon as they entered the city, and what was even more surprising was that this so-called butler actually had a level of 40. It seems that this Henry is really not simple, and he has a group of characters under him.

Now, Cecil has calmed down, now that the other party has come to the door, he can't hide, he can only face it. Then he said with a smile: "When did Henry, the acting official, become the lord of the city, and what do you think of the earl as this?" β€œ

Lilda looked a little embarrassed when she saw that she had made a slip of the tongue when she usually called for it, and was grabbed by Cecil. But I didn't care too much, it was impossible for these two young people who were only third-order to make any waves, and looking at the earl's support would be disadvantageous to the acting official? It's really a bit too much to think about, Lord Henry has reached a tacit agreement with the King, as long as it can weaken the strength of this earl, the King doesn't mind Lord Henry doing a little too much in this territory. This earl is a scheming figure in rumors, and it is really a bit naΓ―ve to send only two young people of the third order, and now the strength in Lord Henry's mansion can tolerate their arrogance.

The three of them walked a few steps to the Acting General's mansion, from the outside, Henry's house can be said to be a standing tall in this city, a five-story mansion stands proudly, Cecil and Andy couldn't help but be stunned, this building is as high as the Earl's house, although it is far less luxurious and majestic than the mansion of Count Cassikud, and the area is less than one-fifth, but it is also very amazing as an acting officer, theoretically speaking, the annual salary of an acting officer of a county is about the same as that of a knight Lord Cecil, And Cecil couldn't help but be gloomy when he remembered his little plus, no wonder the count said that appointing himself as an acting officer was a reward, the power of the acting officer was really great, and under the protection of the king, the count could already become the de facto emperor here. This mansion is undoubtedly a trick against the earl and a robbery from the peasants below, otherwise he would not have such a mansion if he was just an acting official.

The three of them entered the hall, and the decoration of the hall was also very luxurious, not inferior to the hall decoration that Cecil had seen in the Earl's Court at that time, with a red carpet spread in the center of the hall. Hanging on both sides of the white flawless lamp, the five-meter-long golden silk nanmu long table faces the door, and the long table is sitting on a person, that person looks 300 pounds heavy, bloated, vicious, five short figures, living is a fat pig. No, proportionally, he is much fatter than a pig.

I saw Lilda hurriedly run over and bow her head to the fat man and say, "Lord Henry, Lord Cecil has arrived. ”

Cecil was also surprised in his heart, Henry's stupid appearance he really didn't expect that in the system's evaluation, the fat man sitting opposite him was only level 1, and as for the basic attributes, he was worse than his original self, and he could just raise his hand to second him. No wonder the Count gave this figure to himself, it seems that it is not difficult to kill.

"Hello Lord Henry, my name is Cecil, this is my friend Andy, we have come to Kent on the orders of Earl Cassikud to inspect the affairs of this place, and the Earl has some things to ask you."

Henry moved his bloated body, smiled, and said, "Sir Cecil, you are a distinguished guest sent by the Earl, and it is a great honor for us to come and inspect our poor country. ”

Cecil was just about to answer and get to the point, but Henry didn't mean to let him answer again, and continued to talk to himself: "As the Earl's Qincha, Lord Cecil deserves the most grand reception, but yesterday I heard that there are a few bastards in my territory who don't know the height of the sky, which made you unhappy, and I hereby apologize as the local acting officer." ”
