Chapter 47: Dominance must be in your own hands

A series of questions that split their heads and covered their faces were like sticks hitting the heads of the overwhelming crowd. For a while, no one gave any reaction.

Shelley stretched out his hand and touched Doyle's head: "Are you deaf?" I'll let you do the errands! ”

Doyle was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly and responded, "Huh? Oooh! Yes, Your Highness Princess, I'll do it! ”

"Wait!"

Joel, who finally reacted, grabbed Doyle's clothes, then wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, showed a smile on his face, and said to Shelley.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you have misunderstood, the contemptible people have long heard that your father said that you came to our border state in person, after all, I haven't seen it, so I just wondered if someone had used your name, the contemptible people are definitely trying to protect the name of the royal family, how can it be a betrayal?"

He coaxed, can he not coax, because although everything Shelley said was not true, it certainly could not be false.

These state-level lords in various places are no different from the ancient princes of the previous life. They live in a fief rewarded by the Son of Heaven, enforce their own legal system, and control their respective armies. If they don't want to go beyond the box at all, then how can there be the so-called Warring States heroes in the future?

In the same way, although these big lords had to obey the king's orders on the surface, secretly, none of them had done bad deeds, and tax evasion was the lightest. Take the current pro-guard army as an example, how many dare to say that their pro-guard army really only has 5,000 people? The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if you don't say it and don't check, who can know?

In fact, whether it is the king or these big lords, they all know it. Otherwise, why did the king have to keep the guards away from the lord? Everyone is just not breaking it on the surface and safeguarding the common interests of both sides.

However, in front of so many people, Shelley grabbed a little bit and tore the mask directly, and even wanted to make trouble with the direct army of the kingdom.

As long as there is no light in the dark, even the king will not say anything. But if those kingdom-direct armies are really allowed to investigate and expose every piece of truth to the surface, then even the smallest one can be charged with rebellion.

Joel had long known that Shelley had led to the death of a city because of his poor command. also knew that under the coercion of her father, she took over the failure of the border state. So in my impression, she should be a worthless princess.

So he's a little confused now. I really can't tell whether Shelley did this on purpose or if he was really naΓ―ve.

Seeing his hypocritical face like the Duke of Poka, Shelley sneered inwardly. On the surface, he still asked angrily.

"You say in the name of the royal family? If that's the case, then explain to me why your army came more than an hour late after receiving a call for help from the locality? Even the Pro-Guard must be responsible to every fiefdom and every people in the kingdom. It's been so long late, I see that you are clearly ignoring the people! ”

"I ...... I ......"

Without giving him a chance to refute, Shelley smashed down again.

"You what you! What am I saying wrong? Your army has clearly violated military law, so what is this not a rebellion? Did you know that it was because you came so late that there were so many civilian casualties, so many innocent women were kidnapped by the greenskins, even if it was only half an hour earlier than now, and the brave Captain Chesef would have died! ”

At this, Shelley covered her mouth and let out a silent cry, her eyes red with tears staring at Joel as if she were looking at an enemy.

"All of you are the ones who have caused these tragedies! I'm going to tell my father all about it!" I must ask you to give these victims an account! ”

As she spoke, Shelley turned around angrily and was about to go to the city. Doyle, who saw this scene, was really dumbfounded, this is acting. Compared to Shelley, he is simply weak and does not even have scum left.

Joel was completely panicked, and hurriedly stopped in front of Shelley: "Misunderstanding, Your Royal Highness Princess, it's all because my deputy team didn't lead the way, so we were so late, it was definitely not intentional!" ”

How could it not be intentional, when he received the information that Tateishi Town was attacked by more than 10,000 greenskins, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Tateishi Town would not have a good outcome, so that his father could use the excuse of mishandling them as an excuse to forcibly collect a fine from them.

Of course, he was even happier to hear the news of Cheseph's death, because he knew that the old lord would not have a few days to live, and as soon as he died, the town of Standing Rock would be completely borderless, and then all the wealth here would rightfully belong to their family. It can be said that it is a wave of plump leeks.

This kind of thing, it's not their family that does it, it can be said that no matter where the pro-guard army is, they have done it.

The deputy team who was dumped was also confused, how could it be their own fault? You gave the order to go slowly. Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to say it,

Shelley knew all this from the beginning, so she took the lead as soon as she came up and threw the accusation on the other party's head. And her purpose is not just to stop them from cutting leeks.

"You said it wasn't on purpose?" Shelley raised his eyebrows, "What evidence is there?" ”

What the hell is Joel, how can this be proved?

"That's right, we'll compensate for the loss! All losses caused are borne by us! ”

Joel actually thought about how to prove himself. He didn't realize at all that he had lost control from the moment he was seriously thinking about the issue.

In fact, from the moment he was frightened by Shelley's questioning, he had already walked into the pit dug by Shelley, and there was only one word in the end. Little did he know that there was an even bigger pit waiting for him next.

"You say you're going to bear all the losses?" Shelley deliberately showed a relaxed attitude, "Well, if that's the case, then it can indeed be regarded as an explanation to the victims." But there is no evidence, let's make a statement. ”

"Also...... Still need a note? ”

"What? Do you want to pay off? ”

Seeing that her eyes were starting to be bad again, Yoel hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, definitely not, but I think that even if you want to set up a document, it should be with the lord here, or let's invite the old lord out?" ”

Yoel already knew the news that the old lord was dying, let alone asking him to come out, the old man might not even be able to speak.

But how did Joel, who thought he was very smart, know that Shelley had been waiting for him here for a long time.

"You're embarrassed to mention the old lord!"

Seeing that Shelley looked angry again, Joel began to panic a little instinctively.

"Huh? This...... Is there anything wrong with this? ”

"The old lord was already dying, and suddenly such a big thing happened, how could his old man hold on, and he left with hatred on the spot!"

As soon as they heard that the old lord was also dead, Yolton, who was still flustered just now, was going to be happy, because it meant that after the place became ownerless, their family could take away all the lord's property.

But before he could get excited, he saw Shelley take out the seal of the lord, and said with a sad face: "Therefore, I swear that I must bring the people here out of their sorrows, and live up to the trust he has entrusted to me in the land." ”

"What!?" Joel's brain crashed.
