Chapter 22 The Deed of Death
Speaking of the Black and Gold Four, we have to mention the biggest gang in the town - the Black Gold Gang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Black Gold Gang is a gang that rose overnight, the gang mainly operates outside Canglong City, and the gang leader Thor is known as the "tyrannical Black Dragon", and has a great reputation in the entire Canglong City. This person is scheming, good at befriending the young masters of major families, and encourages many noble children to join the gang, so as to enhance the reputation of the gang, and even Adam before his disappearance is also a member of the Black Gold Gang.
And the "Black and Gold Four Youths" is the self-proclaimed name of the four richest young people in the gang.
These four young masters are: Young Master Vernal, Young Master George, Young Master Yi and Young Master Simon. The first three young masters are all the first heirs to the noble titles in the family, while the young master Simon is the youngest son of the general political officer.
With the support of these four eldest young masters, the status of the Black Gold Gang in the town has naturally risen, and its reputation is outstanding, and its power is not different from that of the Qingjiao and Baili gangs in Canglong City.
Yang Nicole told Wu Ming about the deeds of the Black Gold Gang and the Four Young Masters of Black Gold, and then carefully told him how to get along with these young masters. According to the little girl, Adam had only some friendship with George among the four young men, had a grudge against Vernal, and nodded to the other two.
Outside the house, the sound of slamming the door became more and more rapid, knocking on the hearts of the old and the young like the bell of chasing souls.
After listening to Nicole's brief introduction to the four of them, Wu Ming felt confident in his heart, and seeing that the thin layer of wooden door was about to be smashed, he stepped forward and pulled the door bolt open.
Suddenly, the four young masters led their respective servants and rushed into the house like hungry tigers.
"Adam, come over to me!"
The person who rushed in first was the young man in black, I saw him staring at a pair of eagle eyes, and pointed at Wu Ming with an unkind face, "Dare to lock Ben Shao out of the door, don't you want to mix in the town?" ”
"Hmph, I don't think he wants to mix up, but he's impatient." Another young man wearing a flat-horned hat and a thin body was surveying the road next to him.
The remaining two young masters did not speak disrespectfully as soon as they entered the door, but stood quietly on the side and watched the development of the situation.
"From left to right, the two in front are Young Master Simon and Young Master Yi, and the two in the back are Young Master Vernal and Young Master George." The little maid tugged at Wu Ming's sleeve and tiptoed in his ear to whisper.
It turned out to be the favorite son of the general official, no wonder he was so spirited.
Wu Ming glanced at the young man in the black robe, and then moved his gaze to the other three.
Young Master Yi was the thin young man wearing a flat-horned hat, with a long strip of weapon wrapped in blue cloth behind his back. This person has the same temper as Simon, but Simon is more impulsive and speaks more straightforwardly, but this Young Master Yi speaks extremely gloomy.
George was an unremarkably old man, and he looked like he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, a little older than the others. Seeing Wu Ming coming over, he beckoned to Wu Ming with a smile, and his expression was quite familiar.
The remaining young master Vernal stood out among several young masters, this person was more than 1.9 meters tall alone, and his face was longer handsome and dignified, which could be called a beautiful man. Because his face was too handsome, Wu Ming couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and when he saw him looking over, he remembered Nicole's words, Adam seemed to have a dislike for this person, so he quickly looked away.
"Ahem, several, this is our young master's private residence, if you don't have anything important, please leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame the old servant, I will accuse you of trespassing on a private house. Yang Deshan saw so many people rushing into the house, for fear that they would hurt Wu Ming under their excitement, so he went up and scolded. Who would have thought that a few young masters wouldn't even look at him, and Simon even stepped forward directly to push him away - these people are all tyrants in Canglong City, where would they put a servant in their eyes?
Seeing that her father was almost pushed down, Nicole hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and then glared angrily at several young masters.
Simon didn't have anything to do with Adam before, and naturally he hadn't met Nicole, but at first glance, he was attracted by this cute little maid, and felt that this girl who had wide-eyed eyes when she was angry all her life was very tasteful. It's just that when he thought that the other party was Adam's maid, and eighty percent of him was already confined in Adam's bed, the thoughts in his heart disappeared without a trace, and in addition to envy, he looked at Wu Ming even more unpleasantly.
"Adam, I heard that you openly molested Miss Carol yesterday in front of many people? You're bold. Simon smiled coldly, raised his head high, and pointed at Wu Ming's face with the tip of his chin, "I heard that you also proposed to Miss Carol on the spot?" Just because you can't inherit a title like you, you also want to eat swan meat? ”
Wu Ming laughed when he heard this, good guy, this is mocking him as a toad.
"What does Simon want?" Wu Ming coped with it in a good time.
Wu Ming only made up for the important imperial laws last night, according to the imperial law, nobles who accidentally killed commoners can be exempted as long as they pay a ransom, but for the struggle between nobles and nobles, the empire has always been very strict. If these young masters were messing around here with their identities, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat in the end, so Wu Ming's expression was even calmer at this time.
"Hmph, I really think that I have recognized a father and climbed to the status of a nobleman, young master, I can't do anything about you?" Simon took out a deed from his bosom and shook it triumphantly in front of Wu Ming, "I can see clearly, this is a death deed signed by the imperial government himself, and it is stamped with the seals of two parties, including the official seal of the political office and the private seal of your Gilbert family. From now on, this contract of death will be in effect, and anyone who signs it can challenge you! ”
Simon said it impassionedly, but Wu Ming was ignorant, it was the first time he had heard the word death deed, how did he know how useful this fluttering page of the book was? However, Nicole's father and daughter on the side listened to Simon's words, and their faces turned red with anger, and even Lao Yang, who had always been kind, was really angry at this time.
The Blue Fist Empire has a long history of dueling among nobles, giving rise to the system of death deeds. The empire forbade nobles to fight privately, but if the hatred between the two nobles was too deep to be reconciled, the government could sign a death deed for both parties with the consent of both families, allowing the two sides to fight openly in a duel. The duel had the force of law and was held in public to ensure the fairness of the outcome of the duel.
The higher the nobility, the more concerned about their reputation, and a duel is a great opportunity to gain it, but of course, it comes with danger.
However, although the death deed can solve aristocratic disputes, it cannot be signed just as you want. There are two basic conditions that must be met for the Imperial Government to sign a death deed. First, confirm that the contradictions between the two sides of the duel are irreconcilable; Second, obtain the seal of both families. After that, as soon as one person signs the contract, the contract becomes effective immediately, and it is considered that they have started a duel against the party who has not yet signed it.
Originally, it was just a trivial matter for the young master to be jealous, but as soon as Simon took out the death deed, the whole thing suddenly changed its taste
