Joel knew very well what kind of virtue the family of the lord of Standing Stone Town was, and the old man was reluctant to give the territory to his son Cheseff when he was dying, and he was counting on himself to get better. As for his son, if it weren't for the fear of being infamous on his back, he might have done something to this old man a long time ago.

The old man is like this to his own son, how can he be willing to hand over the territory to an outsider? Besides, there is no such precedent in history.

"No, no, No, Your Highness the Princess, there must be something wrong with this, if the lord of the territory dies, then this territory should be in the hands of the state lord." Although he was led by Shelley for several waves, he was not so stupid as the meat in front of him to be taken away by others.

"Huh? Says who? Which law says it? ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Joel, but everyone present who heard it was stunned. Because, there is no such law at all.

"Yes...... But as is customary......"

"What? Convention! Shelley drew his dagger again, "You're really going to be sentenced!" ”

Joel was about to cry, how did this come back again!

"Your Royal Highness, what I said is true, everyone does it."

"Oh? So, you don't agree with the meaning of me taking over here? Shelley looked at him with interest.

Joel gritted his teeth, and for the sake of the family, he finally began to become stronger: "Not bad! I don't agree that this should be taken over by my father, the Duke of Pokadot. At least Her Royal Highness the Princess is definitely not qualified to take over! There is no basis for this! ”

Shelley smiled, this thing is so easy to take the bait.

"Who says there is no basis? Let me ask you, when the old lord was not dead, did he have absolute management of this territory? ”

"It's nature."

"Does the old lord have the power to decide who will inherit the land?"

"But...... But you don't have the right to inherit either! ”

"Must be inherited by the person who is born to him? Who dictates this? ”

"Uh......" Joel was powerless to retort.

"Since no one has ever stipulated such a thing, what's wrong with the old lord giving me the land?"

"Nope! Wrong! Joel said angrily, "That's it...... Even so, you don't have any proof that he gave you the soil, and the lord's seal alone won't prove anything! ”

"Indeed, you're right." Shelley shook the lord seal in his hand and asked, "But I do have a piece of evidence, what evidence do you have to prove that Duke Poka can take this place?" Or did Duke Poka really think that he could control all the lands in the border states? ”

"My father already has control over the entire border state!" Joel had begun to argue like a child.

Shelley's face darkened, and he raised the dagger in his hand and pointed it at his nose and said, "Sure enough, you want to be sentenced, and you actually say that this land belongs to the duke?" ”

Is that what you said? Although it felt like something was wrong, Joel, who had already been brought up in the rhythm, followed her words and said, "That's how it is!" ”

"Presumptuous! Under the whole world, it is not the king's land! The entire kingdom of Li'an belongs to our royal family! The realm is only for those whom you dwell and steward! When did you have the control? It's clear that you just want to take possession! In addition, it also has self-respect! Doyle! What are you waiting for! Hurry up and inform the direct army of the kingdom that these 5,000 pro-guards are all thieves who want to rebel! ”

This is a serious matter, not to mention Joel, and the thousands of soldiers present are also panicking. Only then did Joel realize that he had fallen for Shelley, and said something he shouldn't have said along the pole.

"Nope! That's not true! ”

"What's that like?"

Joel's face turned blue with hatred at this time, to be honest, if it was just him and Shelley now, he really wanted to cut her with a sword. But now he could only grit his teeth and admit the fact that Shelley had taken over the land.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is angry, these are all misunderstandings. I see, you're the new lord. I'll go back and explain this to my father. ”

"Humph! So you recognize the legitimacy of me as a new lord? ”

"It's natural, if anyone questions it, I'm the first to say no."

At this point, Joel had finally calmed down, carefully thinking about not being led by Shelley again.

"In that case, you can write down a note to compensate for the damage here?"

Holding back his anger from being revealed, Joel nodded, and said with a somewhat grim look in his eyes: "The note can naturally be written, but ......"

"Don't, but!" Shelley immediately interrupted him, and did not let him say the next words, "If there is anything else, write the note before speaking, otherwise, I will not believe you!" ”

Joel laughed angrily: "Good! Good! I write! ”

Shelley took out the paper and pen that had been prepared in advance, and saw that the paper was smooth, and Joel looked amazed.

"What is this?"

"Where is all this nonsense? Do you write or not! ”

As the son of the duke, Joel has never suffered such a big grievance in front of him, especially since the other party is still a woman.

Lao Tzu wrote to you, since you want to take over this ghost place so much, you won't even have to cry for a while!

Joel, who had a bad trick in his heart, held back his stomach and wrote down the notes of compensation and solatium on the paper, of course, according to Shelley's instructions, and he couldn't find any loopholes. After writing, the names of both parties were signed, and Shelley stamped the seal of the lord.

"Very well, every injured person can receive a hundred silver in compensation. In the event of a deceased, the family can receive compensation of 10 gold. In a few days, I'll send you the list of victims, General Joel, and you'll have to get the money ready. ”

Looking at Shelley's smug appearance, Joel said with a gloomy face: "Naturally, there is no problem, so Your Royal Highness Princess, can we talk about the topic that you just interrupted?" ”

"Oh, okay, you name it." Shelley is in a gesture of please start your performance.

"When a new lord inherits the territory, he has to pay inheritance tax to his superiors, and the amount to be paid must be decided by the tax collector of the ducal palace. And this is an express decree of His Majesty the King himself. I believe that Her Royal Highness the princess will not know. ”

Joel's heart is so excited, I didn't expect it, I'm waiting for you here!

"Oh~~ You said this, I know." A mysterious smile appeared on Shelley's face, "Indeed, as you said, there is such a tax, and I am also eligible for this situation." ”

Hearing Shelley admit this, Joel laughed excitedly: "Haha, since this is the case, then please ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to prepare the accounts here as soon as possible for the tax collector to review!" ”

But Shelley shook it right and took out a piece of parchment: "I'm sorry, although I am eligible to pay taxes, but before that, I have been exempted from all taxes." Believe it or not, this is a contract signed by your father himself. The town of Wule, under the jurisdiction of I, Shelley Lean, is forever exempt from all taxes. Now I'll officially introduce it, from today onwards, it will be officially renamed Wule Town Standing Stone District, which belongs to the jurisdiction of my Wule Town, so all of them are tax-free! ”
