Chapter 528: Shocking news
Lorist was very busy, busy cultivating, and at the same time busy waiting for the follow-up progress of the gossip news from the imperial capital about the queen's pregnancy and the second highness being cuckolded, and he was very interested in seeing what the final outcome of this matter would be. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info If this kind of thing happened to the common people or the knights of some family, Lorist must not be interested in hearing about it. But this happened to the Second Highness, which made Lorist's gossip heart soar, and he only hated that Moriente City was too far away from the imperial capital, and even the letter eagle would take a day or two to arrive.
So when Fat Shi put a protest document that Count Kate had painstakingly written for three days and three nights in front of Lorlist, Lorist just glanced at it casually and threw it into the garbage can: "Protest fart, just like those watchdogs, don't dare to bite people and only know how to bark desperately." If the business alliance had the strength to compete with us, it would have sent troops a long time ago, and it would still be necessary to engage in these famous halls? Ignore him. ”
"I know, but I have to save some face for them. Shi Fatzi replied with a smile: "Actually, this protest document of Earl Kate is really well written, I didn't even know that he still had this literary talent." It took him several days to write this protest document, which reads with reason and evidence, and he is also afraid of our family's face, and does not directly accuse us, but uses a lot of hidden words...... It's a pity that His Highness didn't care and just threw it into the trash......"
"If you want, just pick it up from the trash, I don't care if he has talent or not, anyway, he can't use it for our family, no matter how good his talent is, it's for nothing. Lorist said, "There's nothing wrong with your set-up, is there, how much money did you loot from the Business Alliance?"
"No, the grain warehouse outside the East Gate is now a housing place for those inner-city residents who have been released from the dock prisoner of war camp. Earl Kate has now reluctantly signed an agreement with our family to entrust us with the help of transporting these in-city residents, and he has paid another 250,000 gold fords, and the surplus for our family to provide him with potatoes and coarse grains to feed the freed in-city residents.
Earl Kate should thank us for releasing the prisoners in the prisoner of war camp in batches, the first batch of more than 3,000 people, the second group of more than 2,000 people, and the third group of more than 8,000 people. He also protested that we only released these inner-city residents who had lost their wealth, but he didn't want to think that if we really let those people go out with their belongings without our supervision, many people would die.
So far, the Business Alliance has paid more than 6.3 million gold fords and other expenses for all the captives, and Earl Kate complained that this was more than double their expectations, and ridiculed us Norton family for being from a remote place in the Northlands, and we must be poor and shameless to ask for money. As an envoy to our family, he even had to pay for his own food and lodging, etc., and I didn't even think I heard it. You said that we finally caught such a Kaizi as him, so there is still a reason not to slaughter him ruthlessly?
Speer was now in charge of the prisoner of war camp in the docks, and since Lord Tagel secretly spread the news in the prisoner of war camp that only those who had spent all the money they had brought with him would be the first to be freed and ransomed by the merchant alliances, the number of people in the camp to buy and spend money had increased immediately. At the same time, Lord Tugger also spread two news, one is that these people will be confiscated by the business alliance even if they take their money out, and the other news is that if you win red chips in the casino, you can be free, and the Norton family will protect him and his private property, so the two casinos in the prisoner of war camp are overcrowded these days.
According to the report submitted by the prisoner of war camp, our family has earned nearly 3 million Jinford in the past ten days, and Director Speeer is very happy to keep his mouth shut, saying that the prisoner of war camp alone of more than 100,000 people can bring nearly 10 million Jinford to our family. This time, he gathered nearly 2,000 citizens from the outer city and prepared more than 20 barrels of cow blood and sheep blood, wanting to have a big drama of our family's armed suppression of the riotous people, one is to deter those stubborn old men in the prisoner of war camp, and let them know how dangerous the city of Moldant is now. The second is to let Earl Kate and the Business Alliance know through these released residents that our Norton family forces have fallen into the big pit of Moriente City as they wished......"
Lorist's report made Lorist laugh out loud, the cause of the incident was that the two captives who were sent as gifts by Ledos, the boss of the community organization in the outer city, Mr. Otto, the chief steward of the Lyward Chamber of Commerce, and Pinkerf, the golden swordsman, fell into the hands of Tagger for less than two days, and soon confided all the plans of the business alliance to set off a riot in the city of Morent.
Seeing this report, Lorist thought that he could have some fun, anyway, the archsteward and the golden swordsman were the overall person in charge of carrying out this plan, so they asked them to continue to send information and messages to the business alliance, asking for reinforcements or something. Lorist actually thinks very simply, he just wants the business alliance to send a few people over to let Genorio practice his moves, his three apprentices have a good character, the only thing that makes him dissatisfied is that he is not competitive, he doesn't like to use knives and guns very much, and even the competition with the guards ends in a draw.
After Lorist became a Juggernaut, his three apprentices also became the focus of attention. Big apprentice Reddy, needless to say, the level of a second-level great sword master is extremely murderous. Schward, the second disciple, has a golden three-star swordsmanship level, is resolute and calm, and is deeply loved by Lorist. The third disciple Genorio, this is a tall man, tall and fit, the level of swordsmanship and fighting spirit should be three silver stars, compared with his tall and toned body, Genorio also has a very delicate heart, and writes very delicate handwriting, which may be related to the fact that he followed a female governess when he was a child.
Lorist sometimes wondered how the Sambarwood pirate could have given birth to a son who looked like a good man? The old pirate roamed the sea, robbed and killed people in all kinds of evil, and many family knights were ashamed to be with him. But his eldest son is liked by everyone, mainly because of his pure temperament and good temper, as well as his loyal personality that makes it impossible to hate him, and the only drawback is that he doesn't like to do things with people.
Let Genorio go to the battlefield and charge, well, the probability of dying in battle will be far greater than the chance of surviving, even Lorist, as a Juggernaut, can't guarantee that Genorio will be safe if he stays by his side. Competing with the guards has lost its meaning, because Genolio's temperament is not arrogant and inappropriate, and he doesn't care much about victory or defeat. That's why Lorist put the idea on the business alliance, and let the people sent by the business alliance become Genorio's sword testers, which should make his apprentice have some understanding, because these testers are really desperate, and Genorio has to see blood for the sake of his own life.
But what Lorist didn't expect was that his idea was taken away by Shi Fat and Tagger and turned into a big plan, and if they wanted to cheat, they would cheat together, so that the business alliance would think that the Norton family forces had fallen into the big quagmire of Moriente City. On the one hand, it is to gain time for the newly formed Autonomous Council of the City of Morent to survive the initial period of unsuitable management and firmly control the city of Morente, and on the other hand, it is to mislead the judgment of the business alliance in order to wait for a favorable opportunity on the battlefield to deal it a fatal blow.
"Just let it go. Lorist laughed and said, "What Morent City needs most is time. Let the business alliance think that our Norton family is fighting to the death with the millions of residents of Moldant City, and both sides will be defeated. Then give them a hard slap when they send troops to pick up the bargain. After half a year, the Autonomous Council of the City of Morent has gained a foothold, and we can get them to form a new business alliance, or just a free alliance. At that time, I would like to see where the face of the Business Alliance goes, the old nest is gone, do they still have the face to call the Business Alliance? Next, our Norton family will help the Freedom Alliance resist the invasion of the Business Alliance on the Falis Plain, and I believe that many people will be shocked at that time......
"I'm sure the Business Alliance will regret it at that time, and if they knew that such an outcome would have been signed with His Highness immediately, an armistice agreement would be signed between the two countries. To be honest, His Highness's plan is really too ruthless, this is not only to free up the cage for birds, but also to uproot the foundation of the business alliance!" Shi Fatzi sighed.
Lorist shook his head: "They are asking for themselves, on the one hand, they want to enjoy the respect of the nobles of the territory, and on the other hand, they also want to be as rich as before. There is no such thing as the best of both worlds. Previously, business alliances could only develop in the Plains of Falichu and the city of Morente, so the various chambers of commerce could unite against foreign enemies. But since these merchants introduced the lord system in the business alliance, it has been the same thing. People are selfish, each chamber of commerce has its own territory, and it will naturally concentrate financial and material resources to develop its own chamber of commerce territory, and the fall of Moriente City to the current point should be said to be the responsibility of these chambers of commerce, and the Grand Duke of Moriente back then would definitely get up from the coffin in anger if he knew that the business alliance had developed like this. All we have to do is kick these chambers out of the way and redevelop the city of Morent back to what it used to be. ”
"Well, Your Highness, you're so right. Shi Fatzi first complimented, and then asked with a hippie smile: "By the way, Your Highness, has there been any new news from the emperor in the past two days?"
As a consistent opponent of His Royal Highness, Shi Fatzi is also very concerned about the color of His Majesty's hat. After getting the news that the queen was seven months pregnant some time ago, Shi Fatzi had been gloating and waiting to see the fight between His Royal Highness and the Fisabrun family......
"There is no new news, that is, the new news that came three days ago that the adulterer has been caught, but we have not yet been able to inquire about the details of the adulterer. It is said that the Royal Guard imposed martial law in the imperial capital, and it was strictly forbidden for people to talk about the queen's pregnancy. The most ridiculous thing is that when the news of the Queen's pregnancy just came out, there were many fools who did not understand the situation and celebrated that our great King Majesty had a successor, which was simply a slap in the face to our King Majesty......"
Lorist and Shi Fatzi laughed very unkindly, such a royal gossip news that made the public like to hear suddenly happened in the war for many years, which was really light-hearted.
Tagger hurriedly came in: "Your Highness, there is new news from the imperial capital......
"Hurry up. Shi Fatzi urged.
"Well, the identity of the queen's adulterer has been clarified. He was the deputy commander of the palace guard, his name was Wickus, he was twenty-seven years old, and he was two stars of silver....."
"Well, Wickus, he was only at the age of twenty-seven at the silver two-star rank, which family is he from, and how did he become the deputy commander of the palace guards?"
Lorist's first reaction was that this guy must have gone through some back door to become the deputy commander of the palace guards, that is the deputy commander of the palace guards, and it is generally at least a golden one-star fighting rank, otherwise he will not be able to lead the palace guards who are all silver ranks. In particular, three years ago, the Great Swordsman of the Commercial Alliance mistakenly thought that Lorist had raided the Royal Palace while recuperating from his injuries in the Royal Palace, and that the Kingdom of Antinac had killed an Great Swordsman in battle. After the Second Highness was furious when he heard the news, he re-strengthened the defense of the palace, and the palace guards of nearly three hundred people were all of the rank of silver and fighting spirit.
"Your Highness, this Wickus is not from an aristocratic family. Tugger looked at the light gray silk in his hand and said, "The letter says that he is only a quasi-knight, and his father-in-law is a royal knight who has been following His Majesty for a long time, and he retired because of old age......"
Tagger's eyes widened suddenly, and his words were swallowed: "Your Highness...... The letter said...... Speaking of this Wei, Waixus actually ...... Actually, it's His Majesty the King...... Your Majesty's private, illegitimate child......"
"What did you say?" Lorist pulled the silk from Targer's hand and spread it on the table, and the fat man lost his sense of superiority and inferiority this time, and rushed over to look at Lorliste's side.
What the letter said is true, the rumor that this Vicus knight is actually the illegitimate son of the Second Highness has been spread in the imperial capital for a long time, but it has not been confirmed by the person concerned. And after the queen's pregnancy incident, the adulterer Vicus Knight, who was the queen, was naturally arrested. But the strange thing is that after the Second Highness arrested this Vicus knight, he ignored him and did not deal with him, so that the rumor that the Wickan knight was the illegitimate son of His Majesty the King was even more noisy in the rumor circle of the imperial capital.
In order to confirm this information, he inquired about an old servant who had served the Second Highness since he was a child, and later did not follow the Second Highness because of illness after the Second Highness was awarded the island of Hilowas, and finally got a message from the mouth of the old servant after spending a lot of money. When the Second Highness was seventeen years old, he had an affair with one of his father's little maids, and later the little maid gave birth to a child, but the little maid and the child soon disappeared, and no one saw them again, so it is impossible to determine whether this Wickus is the illegitimate son of the Second Highness, although it is estimated that he is the same age, and twenty-seven years have passed since now.
Damn, this matter is getting more and more exciting, it turns out that His Royal Highness and his father's little maid fornicated and gave birth, and now his illegitimate child has gone one step further, directly with his wife, causing the queen to become pregnant, this generation is more fierce than the generation......
"Tagger, you send a message to the Eagle to send a message to Makinohara Province to ask my cousin Chrisya, if she knows about this situation, and confirm whether this Wickus is the illegitimate son of His Majesty the King......" If you want to know the private situation of the Second Highness, Lorist must know the inside story of these things.
"Yes, Your Highness. Tugger replied.
