Chapter 32: Self-Comfort from the City of Outes
Baron Dai Siwen was killed by an "accident", which was not a trivial matter within the scope of Greenwater Town and Outes City, and the news quickly spread to Otes City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Earl of Carvin's Court.
The shrewd Earl of Carvin looked at the report that had just been delivered in his hand, and his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
On this report, there is not only the news that Baron Dai Sven was "accidentally" attacked and killed, but also the news that Casio has acquired all the noble property rights in Greenwater.
Putting down the report, Count Carvin let out a long breath and frowned.
"Earl, has something important happened?" asked a nobleman sitting at the bottom, who had rarely seen such an expression on Count Cavin's face.
"See for yourselves. Count Calvin said, handing the report to the nobles below.
When the nobles gathered here to discuss other matters were circulated one by one, everyone's faces were cloudy and thoughtful.
Everyone was silent for a while, and one of the nobles finally took the lead in speaking: "Judging from the content of the report, it shouldn't look like a fraud." ”
Count Cavin gave him an angry look and said dissatisfiedly: "Of course I know that it is impossible to fake, I think this matter is too coincidental. ”
Hearing Count Carvin say this, the others looked at each other, and they didn't say much for a while.
The reason why they didn't suspect Casio's attack was because they had already gotten the news when Casio was first attacked.
And unlike Baron Dasven and others in Greenwater, they don't think that the people who attack Casio will be ordinary bandits.
After all, when Casio entered the city of Ultras with more than 20 elite knights, they clearly knew that if they wanted to defeat Casio's guards, they would never be able to do it by ordinary bandits, and even if they wanted to do this, they had to gather regular troops.
At the same time, they also learned a lot from that attack, and thought that it was most likely a power struggle among the royal family of Kersma.
This undoubtedly made them even more afraid to act rashly, and even when Casio did not take the initiative to ask them for help, they directly pretended that nothing had happened.
Less than a month after Casio arrived in Greenwater, he was attacked a second time, which undoubtedly confirmed their suspicions.
"The matter of the robber attack that His Royal Highness the Prince said is too involved after all, and we must not be rashly involved. A nobleman who looked at the younger man pondered and said slowly.
Everyone looked at him and realized that the nobleman named Hutt had always been a close confidant of Count Calvin, though he did not appear to be as old as the others.
Count Carvin raised an eyebrow, looked at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
Hurt and Count Carvin glanced at each other and continued, "Personally, I think that regardless of whether Dai Siwen's death is a coincidence or not, we can only treat it as a coincidence now!"
After Hurt finished speaking, the nobles, including Count Cavin, thought again.
They all understood the meaning of this nobleman's words, once they suspected that Baron Daisven's death was strange and wanted to investigate, then they were likely to be drawn into the whirlpool of power struggle for the royal family of Kersma, and this was not what they wanted to do.
"The key is that Dai Siwen's death is one thing, and now almost the entire Green Water Town has fallen into the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince, which is also greatly beyond our expectations!" said another nobleman, frowning.
According to their initial impression of Casio, Casio is nothing more than a standard royal nobleman with a full head in water.
Therefore, their initial plan was to let Casio gain a foothold in Greenwater Town, and then use various means to squeeze oil and water from Casio.
It is precisely for this reason that when Baron Dai Siwen reported to them on the open and secret battle with Casio, they would ignore it, but instead act as the backing of Baron Dai Siwen, so that Baron Dai Siwen had so much courage to dare to cause trouble to the Duchy as a baron.
And things have developed so far, and it seems that they are not in line with their original plan.
After all, there are not many towns around the city of Otes, and the loss of control of a green water town for no reason undoubtedly makes these nobles very painful.
It also makes them feel that stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice!
Hearing the nobleman's question, Hurt shook his head with a smile: "Regarding this matter, in fact, everyone has been worried a lot, and Green Water Town is actually still in our hands. ”
Hearing this, except for Earl Carven, who smiled slightly, everyone else was full of puzzlement.
Hurt nodded at Count Cavern, and then said, "First of all, although His Royal Highness the Prince was appointed by Grand Duke Kersma to take over Greenwater Town, Greenwater Town has not explicitly designated that it has become the territory of His Royal Highness the Prince, so the annual tax still has to be paid to the City of Otus. ”
After a pause, Hurt let the others digest it for a while, and continued: "Secondly, the richest fishery in Greenwater Town, His Royal Highness the Prince does not have the right to share dividends, and the annual income still belongs to us. ”
When Hurt said this, many people's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that they had gradually figured out the key point.
"Finally, judging from the report, His Royal Highness the Prince is not as willing to live in Greenwater as we imagined, and he obviously wants to do something about it by buying up the properties of those minor nobles. But Greenwater Town is not his territory after all, no matter how well he builds Greenwater Town, when he is recalled to the royal capital by Grand Duke Kersma, Greenwater Town will still be ours!"
Hurt's last analysis was said, and everyone immediately understood it completely, and looked at him with bright eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Hurt is worthy of being the chief staff of Earl Carvin, look at how fast people's brains turn!
Earl Carvin on the side also nodded with satisfaction at this time, and looked at Hurt with a smile on his face, his heart full of pride.
Hurt was not really just his chief staff, but his illegitimate son, otherwise he would never have been his chief staff to Earl Cavern at such a young age.
Although the words have already been said to this point, there are still people who are uneasy in their hearts: "But what if, in the end, Greenwater Town becomes the territory of His Royal Highness the Prince?"
As soon as this man said this, the people around him couldn't help but laugh and look at him with disdain.
Hurt smiled and shook his head, feeling that this man was really hopeless.
Count Carvin and the others have ten million reasons to believe that Casio wants to do something in Greenwater Town, probably for the Grand Duke of Quesma, and strive to make Grand Duke Kersma dissipate his anger and let him go back as soon as possible.
And although the Duchy of Dolan is not a very powerful principality, Casio, as the third in line to the throne, will never be left in the small place of Greenwater Town forever because he wants to plot against the princess of the Graka Empire.
The most important thing is that Count Cavin and they also know that two whole squads of elite guards suddenly appeared under Casio's subordinates, and they almost didn't have to think about it, they felt that these people were privately arranged by Grand Duke Kersma to Casio.
After all, in their opinion, Grand Duke Ksma was just two sons, how could he casually give up hope for one of them!
