Chapter 151: A Small Incident
,
Baron Rathmorer, who had been questioned by Lorraine, suddenly became excited. He struggled to work hard. Then he cried out, "Those aliens, those filthy inferior races, they are not worthy of being on the same page as our Naians. ”
"Aliens?" Lorraine was stunned. "You mean elves and dwarves?"
Baron Lasmore tugged at his throat and hissed, "Na'an is the ten lands that our ancestors pioneered with their lives and blood and sweat, and the empire has never helped us, so why should we pay taxes." In this way, I don't want to say it, you people in Ruman City, in order to take away Ney'an for a hundred years, almost killed all the pioneers of Ney'an. Now, we still want those aliens to mix in with us. This is a blasphemy against our ancestors. ”
Lorraine was surprised, and said in his heart: I know that the brains of the local nobles in the countryside are the most stubborn, but I didn't expect to be stubborn to this point, it's been four hundred years, how can these people still hold on to this Nazi concept.
Although the dwarves and elves were slightly different in appearance, they did not steal or rob, but they came here and ate with their own hands and labor. I want to thrive here. We will make our greatest contribution to the economic prosperity of the region.
Say a thousand things and ten thousand. These guys don't care how many theories they concoct. But in essence, it is not pleasing to the eye when you see that people have money in their pockets. In every possible way, they want to put that money in their pockets.
Thinking of this, Lorraine gave him a disgusted look. For such a stiff-brained fool, there is really no need to reason with him.
The best way to deal with this kind of scum is to put a rope around his neck and let him hang on a tree like a thief
As the heir to the throne, Leo was born with this kind of racist theory, vainly trying to split the country and destroy the good situation of stability and unity in the Ruman Empire, and the guy who wanted to take money out of his pocket was extremely angry, and immediately burst into anger.
He snorted angrily, pointed at Baron Lathmore's nose, and said loudly, "Your Ney, if there is no Imperial Navy to protect the southern seas. You have already let the Parthians kill them all.
If there is no empire to defend the eastern front. You have long since become slaves of the desert people.
Your Naian, who allowed you to hide here comfortably and sell slaves, is not all under the protection of the Empire.
You guys. Enjoy the barrier provided for you by the Empire with blood and sweat to dig into the corners of the Empire. Destroy national unity, and you are still an aristocrat. ungrateful, blatant disobedience to the laws of the Empire, you are still justified"
Leo clasped his hands, snorting rough air from his nose. He snorted and said to the Praetorian Guards: "Raid the house! Raid my house quickly, and clean up his house for me." Let me change my mood, it's really me off. And this elm head can not be reasonable.
Send it directly to the ** court, and let the Imperial Ministry of Justice talk to him about the strict imperial laws!"
Lorraine waved his hand and asked his men to take Baron Rasmore's family into custody first.
General Philip walked over and whispered to Lorraine, "My lord, we have caught a few people who have run away from the hospital, including the housekeepers and servants.
He paused, then glanced at Rasmore, who had been escorted down by the guards, and added, "This baron has two hundred armed men alone. If nothing else, just accuse him of "raising a private soldier with the intention of rebellion." That's enough to make him die three times. ”
That's it
Lorraine was also secretly shocked in his heart, although he also knew that these nobles had been secretly raising their own private armies in private, but according to the laws of the empire, as long as it was over thirty, it would be a violation.
However, since he can keep so much for a baron, there will probably be no shortage of other nobles.
Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn't help but shrug her shoulders helplessly. He said with a wry smile: "There is a long way to go! Three cities do dowry, or two, in this case of Nai An Province,
To put it mildly, Lorraine has been in office for a few months. His command was in effect in Nedel City. Out of the Nedel area, it's all different.
Either they are not taken seriously by the local aristocracy. Directly took the text and went to wipe the buttocks. Or they are being used by guys with ulterior motives. Ask a few crooked-mouthed monks who are called beasts or something, and distort the order to carry it out. Then, they profited from their own fortune and let Lorraine be a substitute for the dead, and they were blamed by the common people and carried those infamy.
Lorraine wailed in her heart, complaining about the high housing prices in her previous life. If I can't marry a wife, my life will be even worse, whether this is to ask me to take all the idle real estate in the three cities as a dowry, or the housing prices in the second-tier cities.
A man who is tormented by the huge dowry of his two wives all the time, the hardships of marrying a wife. This is a long sigh.
General Philip glanced at Lorraine sympathetically, how many people only saw Lorraine eating meat, but did not see Lorraine being beaten, as the closest Praetorian Guard to the Lorraine family. The tragic plight of the Governor of Lorraine was all seen and heard by their own eyes, so they were generally sympathetic. Although my girlfriend is beautiful, she is also very good to our governor. However, you can't be the Shaolin abbot after the 80s, and you can't be paired with a beautiful female secretary. Can't play office romance. Even if you come home late, you have to report it first. As a man, such a life. It's as bleak as a warrior facing blood......
Here, Lorraine continues to live a bleak life. But on the other side. Vera and Leo were overjoyed.
After working for so many days, just waiting for this time, the two of them brought their men with great interest. A treasure hunt began inside the manor.
Aside from finding a secret passage and a secret room, Leo and Vera didn't have much to gain. Baron Rathmore was brought back by the Praetorian Guards at the Secret Pass.
Tong guò interrogated Baron Raxun's butler, cronies, and others. Leo knew that this manor was just a blessing: Baron Rathmore's family didn't come much, and their old mansion in Tysir City was the place where the money was hidden.
Leo was furious and said, "Why didn't you say such an important news earlier, don't you know that wasting time is wasting the president's money?"
Now the team gathered again, and in the moonlight, they quickly headed for Taysir.
It is more than twenty miles away from the city of Tysir, and it will not take long to reach it along the avenue.
Lorraine and their team were halfway through, when suddenly there was a large fire in front of them, and a team with torches bumped into Lorraine and them.
At the front of the line were a pair of samurai on horseback, wearing armor and swords, and behind them, the reflection of the weapons could be seen.
The Praetorian Guards in front shouted, "Stop, who are you?" ”
There were also people in the opposite team shouting: "The lord of Tysir City is here, stop on the other side." Otherwise, the arrows will be released. ”
Lorraine and Leo looked at each other suspiciously, and Lorraine turned to General Philip and asked, "Have we informed Lord Tessil?"
General Philip shook his head and said, "No, my lord, we didn't inform anyone in the area. ”
The Praetorian Guard in front cautiously approached them and said, "We are the Praetorian Guard, please come here." ”
I heard the people on the other side shouting at this time: "Ah? It's the Praetorian Guard again."
"Alright, alright, reinforcements have arrived. None of this is our business. ”
A knight stepped out of the opposite group, spoke to the Praetorian Guard, jumped off his horse, and ran all the way to Lorraine.
"I am Sabine, Lord of Sil, and I ask to see the Governor. ”
Lorraine said to the Praetorian Guards beside him, "Bring him here." ”
Sabine, the lord of Tysir, followed the Praetorian Guard to Lorraine, and got down on one knee before saying anything. He lowered his head and said: "The subordinates are incompetent, and the royal subordinates are not strict, so that Ansheng has to deal with such a matter as the governor himself, and I am willing to take all the responsibilities." ”
Lorraine said, "Please, Lord Sabine." Baron Rathmore is well hidden, and if it weren't for a coincidence, I wouldn't have been able to see him. ”
From the Sabine City Lord, Lorraine saw that his forehead was covered with sweat, and his collar was all wet. Lorraine and the others also ran all the way, but in the cool night breeze, there was no sweat at all.
"Baron Rasmore?" said the Sabine City Lord suspiciously, and then the Sabine City Lord asked worriedly, "Your Excellency doesn't know? ”
Lorinch said: "Could it be that something happened?"
The Sabine City Lord had a bitter face, revealing an expression that was more ugly than crying, and said: "The local soldiers stationed at the checkpoint in front of him mutinied, and detained the Governor, you sent a messenger to arrest the Commissioner, and that Inspector is the nephew of Baron Rathmore, don't you know?"
Lorraine was stunned, stared at the Sabine City Lord in front of him and froze, and then said sharply: "You mean, your subordinate soldiers have mutinied?" Leo followed and shouted, "What? This kind of thing happened in the hinterland of Ness? What kind of food is the magistrate doing, is it a bunch of rice buckets?"
The Sabine City Lord glanced at him, and immediately knew the identity of the fat man who was following Lorraine's side. At that moment, he knelt down again, sweating and trembling, and said: "Yes, Your Highness, your subordinates are incompetent." Please be angry, Your Highness. ”
Leo immediately felt that he had gathered his eyes, and he was going to play a little more majestic.
Lorraine pulled him aside. Then glared at him fiercely, and Leo realized that he was not right, and obediently closed his mouth.
Lorraine thought for a moment and said, "Sabine City Lord, I am also responsible for this matter. It's that I didn't think it through. ”
Sabine hurriedly said, "Yes, yes."
Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words, saying, "Don't dare, don't dare"
After saying a few words, I realized that something was wrong. I wanted to say something more, but I was stunned for a moment. I don't know what to say. Sweating profusely. Secretly raise his head. He glanced at Lorraine out of the corner of his eye, then lowered his head again.
Lorraine listened to him and knew that he was afraid of being held accountable because of a mutiny among his men. smiled at the moment and said, "This time it happened suddenly, I don't blame you." ”
Sabin was immediately relieved, wiped the sweat from his head, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Governor Xie." Your Excellency Governor-Xie. ”
Lorraine turned his head to look down and said, "By the way, where is the outpost where the mutiny occurred?"
"A few miles ahead of me, at that pass, there is an important checkpoint in the city of Taisir, and there are usually more than 300 soldiers stationed in the city of Taisir. ”
Lorraine said: "Let your people lead the way in front." Go quickly!"
"Yes. The Sabine Lord jumped up from the ground. As soon as they turned and ran back to the ranks, the ranks of Taysir City took off to a rapid pace, and the soldiers were urged by the officers to speed to the level ahead.
Due to the mutiny, this is the top priority of the empire, and Lorraine has no intention of doing anything else, so he immediately leads more than 100 guards under his command and follows them.
Along the way, the Sabine Lord explained to Lorraine what had happened.
The Praetorian Guards sent by Lorraine were armed with warrants. In the afternoon, he rushed to the city lord's mansion and asked the city lord of Sabine to send someone to cooperate to arrest the customs chief in front, Baron Rathmore sent slaves abroad, that checkpoint was an important route, and Baron Rathmore spent a lot of money to buy that seat for his nephew.
The Sabine City Lord did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent his subordinates to lead this team of Praetorian Guards to the pass to arrest people, but he did not expect that after the Praetorian Guards detained the Guan Chief, the soldiers guarding the checkpoint suddenly mutinied and wanted to snatch the Guan Chang out.
The Praetorian Guards were immediately captured... The next day, retreated into the watchtower of the checkpoint, and the crossbow was sharp. and 70 men in a row. Drove the soldiers back.
There are also some soldiers at the checkpoint who are unwilling to accompany them to make trouble, knowing that it is a capital crime to do so, and sneak out to report to the Sabine City Lord.
The Sabine City Lord who received the news was immediately stupid. His subordinates mutinied and besieged the team sent by the governor, no matter what, he, the city lord, is not responsible, if he doesn't handle it well, it is likely to implicate him, the city lord, and what awaits him is the Imperial Prison.
The Sabine lord immediately led all the garrisons of Taysir. Kill towards the pass, I didn't expect to meet Lorraine on the way, and Lorraine They still came to arrest Baron Rasmore, and this kind of thing happened under his own rule, which made the Sabine City Lord feel that the future was bleak, and he thought about whether to resign now, and wait for Lorraine to investigate, then it would not be troublesome.
Lorraine: They come to the front of the level. I only saw that the gate on the checkpoint was closed, and the black light on it was blinding. I couldn't see anything, but I could hear the noise inside, and I heard the sound outside, so a few people ran to the wall of the checkpoint and looked out.
The subordinates of the Sabine City Lord shouted loudly: "Listen to the people inside, you are going to kill your head in this kind of behavior now, hurry up and open the gate, come out and surrender, otherwise."
Someone at the checkpoint suddenly shouted, "We are the Praetorian Guard, and the team is down there?"
Philip exclaimed, "I'm the head, what's going on inside?"
"The heads are coming, and we can't rush out. But it can stand it. Hurt two people. ”
Sabine's subordinates then shouted, "Lay down your weapons and get out."
Leo ran up to him, kicked the man, pointed at his nose and shouted, "It's still a hairy, even me and the boss's people dare to block it." Harboring criminals, openly mutiniing, what are they left for?
There are a lot of bad things in your place, so hurry up and solve it. Master, I still have very important things to do. ”
The Sabine City Lord looked at Lorraine, who had always had a black face beside him, gritted his teeth, and ordered his subordinates loudly: "Hit the door, rush in, and don't let anyone go." ”
Lorraine said, "Don't bother, Vera. Blow the door open. We're going to raid the house. ”
Vera had been impatient for a long time, and she had been tossing for a day and a night, and she had not found a single gold coin until now. Vera had a fire in her heart for a long time.
Hearing Lorraine say this, he immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, young master." Just see. ”
Vera jumped out of the group, raised her oversized wand, and a fireball the size of a table top gathered in front of Vera, illuminating the surroundings with a bright yellow.
Vera flicked her wand, and the big fireball flew out with a thud and smashed on the gate of the level, and then there was a loud bang, and the fire of the explosion covered the entire wall of the level, and the smoke and dust flew in all directions, and the rubble fell from the sky with a crackle.
The people of Tysir were stunned.
They stupidly looked at the checkpoint in front of them, only to see that the whole gate was gone, and even the wall was a large circular hole, and at the same time, there were stones that kept falling down, making a loud noise, and it looked like it was going to collapse at any moment.
Lorraine looked at the stunned Sabine City Lord. Said angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, rushing into the poison." ”
"Ah, yes, my lord," the Sabine lord came back to his senses. He glanced at the smug maid next to him, who was almost wagging her tail, and realized with horror that this innocent, lovely-looking, beautiful doll-like girl was actually a dangerous three-headed dog of hell.
He hurriedly turned his head and shouted to his soldiers, "Up, all up." Rush in. ”
The team of Taysir City screamed through the bombed gate and rushed into the interior of the level.
Lorraine: They only heard shouting inside the level outside, but they never heard the sound of battle, for almost a quarter of an hour. I saw that the soldiers of Tai Sir City began to escort the soldiers in the checkpoint out of the checkpoint.
A group of Praetorian Guard soldiers and the attendants of the Praetorian Army, escorting a man in military uniform in the middle, helped two wounded people out of the checkpoint.
The Praetorian Guards and their attendants came to Lorraine and General Philip, saluted, and the captain said, "The subordinates are incompetent, let the lord and the general run this way." ”
Lorraine nodded and said, "Brothers have worked hard. Worthy of the Praetorian Guard, well done. ”
General Philip also nodded, and said with a smile: "You guys, this scene is still uneven, go back and practice hard." ”
"The main thing is to bring the squires, otherwise with these third-rate soldiers, we will all go back to Nedel now. The captain said depressedly.
The group of Praetorian attendants in the back glared angrily at the captain.
"Alright, alright, the matter is settled. Now it's time to get down to business, it's almost dawn. Leo yelled.
Lorraine sighed and said, "It's really difficult to do something serious, from top to bottom, all of them are bad guys, no wonder everyone likes to be a faint king." ”
Leo sighed, nodded with deep sympathy, and counted with his fingers: "Business tax, real tax, consumption tax, income tax." Nicole said that she would increase my resource tax, and she would say that she would nationalize it at every turn, and that she wanted to be a good businessman, is it easy?"
Just look at Leo and Vera's mood right now.
On the boat back to Nedle, Leo kept muttering, "The hard work of this trip was not in vain," while shouting beside Lorraine, "Boss, this slave trader is finished, what should we do next?" ”
