Chapter 19: Raiding the House
Two years later, what wouldn't happen? How could Keane endure two years of snorting at Mrs. Wade?
"I think I'm capable. Keane said firmly.
Mrs. Wilder's face turned straight and she said, "Keane, calm down, you're just a kid now. The lord of Chir County is in charge of millions of people of the empire, and you can't afford to do so right now. ”
At this time, Jenny next to Keane said loudly at this moment: "Auntie, the imperial law has not said that you must be an adult to inherit the position of city lord. ”
Mrs. Wede looked at Jenny.
Janny looked at Mrs. Wilder without yielding, and two women of different ages looked at each other.
"Yes. Lady Wilder said with a smile, "It is true that the laws of the empire do not explicitly stipulate that you must be an adult before you can inherit the position of city lord. But ......"
Mrs. Weide said with some sadness, "After your father died some time ago, after the clan learned the news here, it was originally for your eldest brother to inherit the position of city lord, but my poor child ......"
"When I learned that Kean was only fourteen years old, the people of the clan ordered that this county town of Chi'er was one of the most important county towns in my northwestern province, and that it was close to the provincial capital 'Basil', and the management of the county town of Chi'er was very important, and the clan ordered that Keane must be an adult before he could take over the position of city lord. ”
"Clan?"
Keane and Gianni were stunned.
Hearing that this was the order of the sect master, Jenny and Keane were also a little confused. As members of the Jax clan, Gianni and Keane know the meaning of the clan.
"Auntie, did the clan really give such an order?" Gianni stared at Mrs. Wade.
Mrs. Wede frowned and looked at Gianni, "Gianni." Do you think I'm going to fake the orders of the clan......? Until Keane succeeds to the castle lord, I will be in charge of all matters in the county for the time being. ”
"I am the future lord of the city, and I have the power to determine who will be the acting lord of the city. Keane shouted dissatisfied.
Mrs. Wilder looked at Keane with a cold gaze.
And Lin Lei, who had been silent beside him, finally spoke up: "Mrs. Weide, your so-called clan should not have given an order to let you serve as the acting city lord, right?"
Mrs. Wede froze.
No matter how bold she was, she didn't dare to make up the clan's orders indiscriminately.
Janney and Keane both belong to the Jax family, and the Jax family is one of the most powerful clans in the entire O'Brien Empire.
The Northwest Province, one of the seven provinces of the entire O'Brien Empire, is controlled by the Jax family.
And Janney, Keane's father, Wade Jax. It's just a collateral child of the Jax family, if it weren't for the Jax family. How could such a cowardly guy as Wilder Jax be the lord of a county town?
Now Wede is dead.
In the eyes of the Jax family, this Chir county town naturally still has to be taken care of by the Jax family.
Mrs. Weed. Although she is married to Wade, Mrs. Wade is not the blood of the Jax family after all, and it is unlikely that the Jax family will let Mrs. Wade sit in the position of acting city lord.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the old antiques of the clan......" Lady Wade hated in her heart.
No matter how powerful Lady Weide is, she can't compare to the Jax clan. In a word, I'm afraid that she, a noble lady, will go to the street to beg tomorrow.
"I'm not an adult, but my sister is. I will send someone to the provincial capital of Basil. I believe in the elders of the clan. I'll make my sister the acting lord of the city, not you!"
Keane said proudly.
Gianni and Keane. The contradiction with Mrs. Wade cannot be concealed at all.
In just a few words, it was completely exposed at this banquet. After all, Gianni and Keane's mothers were essentially the place where Mrs. Wade was persecuted to death. Gianni and Keane were assassinated along the way.
"Good. Okay, if you have the ability, you can play the clan, I really want to see if the clan will hand over the responsibility of acting city lord to an eighteen-year-old girl. Mrs. Wilder raised her chin and said proudly.
Keane's face was also full of stubbornness.
The fourteen-year-old boy was at his most rebellious, and the more arrogant Mrs. Wade became, the more he Keane rebelled. Keane also believed that the clan would definitely be on his side, after all, he was a son of the Jax family.
After the banquet.
Lin Lei, Janney, Keane, and Lambert stayed together, and Lin Lei fully understood after questioning how powerful the Jax family of Janny and Keane was.
Their father, Wade Jax, is just a side child.
The power of a real lineage clan is terrifying. The entire Northwest Province is entirely under the control of the Jax family, and is hereditary. The Jax family has been in control of the Northwest Province for thousands of years.
"The royal family of the O'Brien Empire is really confident. Dare to hand over a province to a family to manage for thousands of years. Lin Lei sighed in his heart.
The territory of a province is larger than that of the Kingdom of Finlay.
Allowing a family to manage a province for a long time can easily make a family have amazing strength. This is also a factor of 'creating fans and dividing lies'.
However, the royalty of the O'Brien Empire is confident.
Because they have the existence of the 'Martial God', they have a large number of strong people in the Martial God Gate. Moreover, the two most important provinces of the entire O'Brien Empire, the Central Province and the O'Brien Province, are controlled by the royal family.
"There is a martial god, and no family dares to rebel. Not to mention the Martial God, it is the disciples of those Martial God Sect for thousands of years, and they are a terrifying force. ”
Lin Lei understood.
In front of the peerless powerhouse, the so-called army is just a joke. The army is only a deterrent to the secular people. However, the powerhouse of the Holy Realm is the most important point that determines the fate of a country.
"The Jax family, who have been in charge of the Northwest Province for more than a thousand years, is probably very powerful. Lin Lei said secretly in his heart.
"Hmph, that ruthless woman, I don't believe the clan will support him. Keane said angrily.
Lambert smiled and said, "Young master, don't worry." If the clan supported her, she would probably be a different person today. ”
That's true.
At this moment, Mrs. Wilder was indeed very annoyed: "It is really ...... that the sisters and brothers in the countryside are so arrogant In the early years, they should have been killed directly. It's not as troublesome as it is now. ”
At the beginning, Mrs. Wilder thought that her son would become the lord of the city.
didn't expect her son to die so early.
"That stupid thing in Holmer has lived to be a beast for more than 300 years. Lady Weide's eyes sparkled with cold, "For more than three hundred years, this Holmer has probably accumulated a lot of wealth. ”
...... Late at night, the town of Chir is very quiet.
Holme's mansion is in the eastern part of Chier County, and the mansion covers an extremely wide area, and there are many beautiful maids. Holmoko is a very beautiful person.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded.
The two guards of the Holme Mansion looked out of the hole next to the gate, puzzled. His face turned pale. At this moment, a large number of armor-clad city guards had gathered outside the gate.
"Open the door. A proud knight on a horse and in white armor shouted loudly.
Mrs. Wilder and her two brothers rode horses. Watching this scene with a smile. Holme's family doesn't have any masters. As soon as Holme died, the family was a piece of fat to be slaughtered.
The door slowly opened.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't know what you're doing here late at night?" a middle-aged man ran out undressed, who had just gotten out of bed.
"Countess. The middle-aged man suddenly saw Mrs. Weide, and his heart trembled.
Mrs. Wilder said coldly: "It has been verified that Holme is suspected of assassinating the heir of the city lord 'Keane'. Now all the people of the Holmer family are imprisoned. All family property was confiscated. ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's legs went limp. I couldn't help but kneel.
"No, Countess. The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "My grandfather was invited by your two elder brothers......
"Slander the aristocracy. The sin is added to the first degree, and killed. Mrs. Weed's face shuddered.
The knight's spear in the hand of the leader suddenly turned, like a big python out of a hole, and only the sound of 'snorting' piercing the air was heard, and the spear pierced the middle-aged man's throat.
Mrs. Wilder's eldest brother, the fox faked a tiger, and shouted loudly, "Hurry up." ”
The city guards immediately rushed towards the mansion like wolves and tigers, and the city guard's favorite thing was to raid other people's homes. Because of this kind of thing, they can secretly get some benefits for themselves.
Of course...... They didn't dare to make more of it themselves, after all, there were other people around.
"What are you doing, what are you doing!"
Women and men rushed out in disheveled clothes, shouting loudly, and some of the mansion guards were also armed, but they didn't dare to do anything.
Because they could see that the people in front of them were the city guards.
How dare the private guards of the mansion fight with the city guards?
"Holme is suspected of assassinating Young Master Keane, and everyone in the Holme family is arrested, resistant, killed. The knight at the head said coldly, and those people in the Holme Mansion were all stupid when they heard these orders.
In front of the fierce city guards, those people were captured one by one powerlessly.
But there are still many people who don't want to be arrested, and they immediately fled quickly. The city guards also chased and killed them one by one.
"Wade, that bitch. An old man with gray hair, "She was the one who invited grandpa to come out, but now that grandpa is dead, she actually came to raid the house." It's vicious. ”
The gray-haired old man came out of the secret room, three magic crystal cards stuffed in his arms.
Holme is more than three hundred years old, and only two of his many sons are still alive, and the other sons are all old and dead, both of whom are relatively young. And the grandson ...... The eldest grandson is over 200 years old, and the younger one is only in his thirties.
"Stop. Suddenly, one of the city guards saw the old man.
The old man waved his hand and sprinkled a handful of powder.
"Ugh. The city guard's face instantly turned purple, and he kept clutching his throat and moaning in pain, and he fell to the ground and died in just a few strokes.
The old man sneered, and ran down the path very nimbly.
"Stop. There was a loud shout in the distance.
The old man didn't pay any attention to it, but he was faster.
"Phew. An arrow pierced the sky at an alarming speed, screeching directly into the old man's back.
The handsome blonde knight put down the bow and arrow in his hand and sneered: "I still want to escape, it's really a dream." You go and search for any magic crystal cards on him. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
...... Not only was the interior of the mansion filled with people from the city guards, but even the outside of the mansion was surrounded by several circles of people, and no one in the Holme family could escape, although there were some people in this family who knew some poisons or something, but in terms of ability, they were too far behind Holme.
In the inner hall of the Holmer family.
Lady Wede and her two brothers were looking at the treasures and some magic crystal cards in front of them.
"This old guy has a really strong ability to make money. Mrs. Weed's eldest brother said with a glint in his eyes.
Mrs. Weide smiled lightly: "You two don't covet this in front of you, when you take charge of the power of the county, the money in the future will be endless." ”
And at this moment in the night sky over the Holmer Mansion.
Lin Lei had transparent wings on his back, and he was flying in the air in the air, overlooking the chaotic scene of raiding the house below.
"Mrs. Wede is really ruthless, and Holme is really unlucky. In the night sky, Lin Lei looked down on the scene below with a faint smile.
