Chapter 100: The Dust Settles

"Sir of the Kingdom?" Han Fei sneered, "Mr. Clarence, I have very unfortunate news for you, one of your former subordinates has recognized you, Your Excellency the leader of the Tyrant Wolf and Horse Thieves Clan!"
Although Han Fei used thunderous means to directly attack Clarence's mansion, he did not have any evidence in his hands to prove that the other party was the identity of the wanted bandit leader, and these words were purely true. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But when it fell on Clarence's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, his face instantly turned extremely pale, and the secret he had hidden for more than ten years was suddenly exposed in broad daylight, as if the cloak of shame had been stripped off in public, and the whole person couldn't help but tremble.
Several warriors who followed Clarence looked at each other, although their duty was to protect Clarence's safety, and they were usually attracted by Clarence's favor, but this did not mean that they had to work for Clarence, especially since Clarence was also the leader of a horse thief group.
Almost all of the warriors of the Guards retreated, and the weapons raised in their hands hung limply, except for Alec, the son of Clarence, who rushed to his side and cried out, "It's over, it's all over!" Ahh
The words of this stupid gentleman completely confirmed Clarence's true identity, and his shouting suddenly stuck in his throat, and his eyes looked at his father like goldfish, and his eyes were full of astonishment and shock.
A heavy sword pierced Alec's chest, piercing his heart and back, and the sword was in the hands of his father, who had always loved him the most!
"Father—" Alec's gaze gradually faded, and he muttered, blood pouring out of his mouth.
Clarence looked at his son, who had swallowed his last breath in his hand, with extremely kind eyes, and said softly: "Son, don't be afraid, I will come to accompany you soon!"
Kindness suddenly turned hideous, Clarence pulled out the blood-stained sword in his hand, like a beast in a trap let out a desperate howl, the sword body of the fighting light shone!
"Kill!" Han Fei coldly ordered.
The mercenary warriors who had already prepared pulled the heavy crossbow in their hands at the same time, and more than a dozen sharp crossbow arrows suddenly shot out, instantly shooting Clarence into a sieve!
At such a close distance, it would be difficult for a samurai without Douqi armor to resist the power of a heavy crossbow, and it would take time to unleash a defensive fighting skill, and Clarence was more desperate than a final struggle.
Clarence, whose body had been pierced with more than a dozen blood holes, spat out his last breath, he glanced at Han Fei unwillingly, his knees collapsed to the ground, and the blood gushing out of the wound quickly formed a shocking pool of blood under him.
Baiwater, who was following behind everyone, looked at Clarence who fell to the ground and stared blankly, feeling happy and sad at the same time, but soon this feeling turned into determination, the determination to be loyal to Han Fei!
"Follow me!" Clarence's death didn't stop Han Fei, and he led the mercenaries straight into the villa.
The trees fell and scattered, and no one in the Clarence mansion, whether it was the samurai guards or the servants, was captured, and no one dared to resist.
On the third floor of the villa, Han Fei didn't take much time to find Clarence's study, he pointed to the bookcase next to the wall and said in a deep voice, "Tear it down!"
He didn't have the time or interest to study where the mechanism to open the secret room was, violent dismantling was the most direct and effective way, several mercenaries rushed forward, raised the battle axe in their hands and quickly chopped the bookcase into pieces, and the door of the secret room was completely exposed.
Han Fei walked in without hesitation, it was precisely because he had mastered the secret of Clarence's secret room that he launched such a direct and fierce attack, originally thinking that it was enough to find evidence from this secret room that was enough to nail the other party.
The secret room is not large, it is a rectangular room, the walls around it are all made of hard bluestone, and there are seven or eight large chests stacked inside, as well as bookshelves and desks, etc., and there are a few unfinished pieces of paper scattered on the desk.
Han Fei casually picked up one and looked at it, and found that it was a letter from Clarence asking for help, and the person asking for help was a family that his daughter was marrying on.
Throwing the letter aside, Han Fei left the secret room, and then ordered the mercenaries to remove everything inside.
Soon, large chests were quickly moved to the open space in front of the villa downstairs and opened, revealing all the gold coins and items contained in them, including some townsfolk who had been invited by Bywater.
In addition to a large amount of gold and wealth, the things that Clarence kept in the secret room also included the deeds of the shops he owned in the town and the land certificate outside the city, and the evidence that proved that Clarence was the leader of the horse thieves was also among them, which were several expensive jewelry and spiritual weapons with family insignia, and it was Clarence who ransacked the family's caravan and killed his people.
Han Fei ordered all the evidence to be sent to Xishui City along with the gold coins and the corpses of the Clarence father and son, and this matter was all the responsibility of Bywater, and the Clarence father and son could not escape the responsibility even if they died.
With the death of Clarence and his only son Alec, the Clarence family, which had controlled Riverbend Town for more than ten years, undoubtedly collapsed, and the biggest and only obstacle to the Han family's dominance was quickly cleared, and everyone was stunned by the speed.
In fact, Han Fei had made sufficient preparations three days ago, he sent people to Lassede City in the south to seek the support of the Flame Rose Mercenary Group, and as soon as the mercenaries arrived, they immediately moved, and did not give the opponent any respite and turn over under the thunderous blow.
After accepting the hundreds of thousands of gold coins as "stolen money", the city lord Egmont quickly established Clarence's charges through the county government, and contacted Karpass's family who wanted Clarence, so that the other party could collect the stolen goods, and also complete the other party's bounty.
Although he threw out more than 100,000 gold coins, Han Fei did not suffer a loss, in addition to the Clarence family's shop and land in Riverbay Town, he also received the friendship and bounty of the local family of Karpass, which can really be said to be a lot of money.
Of course, the Xia family and another family, whom Clarence's two daughters married, also learned the news, and after being silent for almost half a month, they sent gifts to the Han family, hoping not to involve them, because Clarence's two daughters gave birth to heirs.
In the Terran country of the Nine Heavens Continent, except for the great crime of rebellion and rebellion, it is generally not offensive to the family, and Han Fei will certainly not easily offend two local families with good strength, because the daughter of the foreign marriage is no longer a member of the Clarence family, and if she lifts it high and falls gently, this matter is considered to be in the past.
Through the attack on the Clarence family, the Han family thus established absolute authority in the territory, and Han Fei did not take the proceeds into his own pocket, but used almost all of them to build the territory.
Under the temptation of bright gold coins, many civilians who were idle at home in winter gathered in the eastern suburbs of Hewan Town, and under the command of Han Mutian of the Han family and the mayor of the town, Baiwater, they cut wood and quarried stones from the nearby forests and built brand new houses outside the town.
More farmers were concentrated to reclaim the wasteland on both sides of the riverbank, and the Han family bought a large number of livestock from other places, and the family's workshop worked day and night to make farming tools and sell them to the farmers in the territory at very low prices, so as to attract people from outside the river to join the river bay territory.
Territory construction continued until the New Year approached, and the Flame Rose Mercenaries finally moved from Lassete in the south to Rivertown, and the newly built houses were enough to ensure a warm and comfortable winter for all.
The entry of the Flame Rose Mercenary Group has also made the security of Riverbend Town unprecedentedly good, and the security guard team in the territory has expanded to a hundred people, most of which are composed of retired warriors and samurai from the mercenary group, well-equipped and well-trained, and for a time the ruffians and thieves completely disappeared from the town.
The construction of the territory also made the Han family very busy, and even Han Xin'er became Han Mutian's assistant, helping to learn to take care of the territory together, which made her life very fulfilling.
Han Fei left all the affairs of the territory to his family, and he concentrated on staying in the workshop, studying and learning the methods of crafting and refining silver, gold-level spirit weapons, and spirit crystal weapons with Manniu and Han Wei'er.
Han Wei'er knew that after the New Year's Festival, Han Fei would leave again, so she cherished the time she spent with Han Fei and studied hungrily. A month later, she finally succeeded in mastering the art of refining the Silver Spirit Weapon, and successfully played the first Silver Spirit Weapon.
At the same time, in Han Fei's hands, the first golden spirit weapon and the first spirit crystal weapon were also born, and the price paid was that almost all the materials in his gift ring were consumed, and even the rest of the money was used.
And this golden spirit weapon, Han Fei gave to his mentor Carol, who has also been the guardian of the Han family for more than ten years.
The day before the arrival of the new year, a heavy snowfall fell on the Xishuicheng area.
In the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, Han Fei's fourth year in this world has quietly arrived.
In the snowstorm, he stared in the direction of Sain, slightly stupid.
