Chapter 116 War is coming!!!
Night falls.
Imperial capital, Shengton District.
This is an area located in the north of the imperial capital facing the near city wall, and the castle of the Count of Haiba family is located in the Shengton district.
Twenty years ago, Shengton District was a poor area, inhabited by poor people, and land prices were very cheap.
The Count of Haiba family was fancy for the cheap price of land, so they enclosed the land to build a castle.
Over the past decade, the poor have moved out for various reasons, and now one-fifth of the land in the district is in the hands of the Haiba family.
Tonight, in the castle of the Haiba family, the atmosphere was very depressing.
Inside the castle desk.
“Bang! Bang! ”
“Damn, damn it.”
Count Haiba was furious, and his palm swept away the furnishings on the table.
“……”
Ndin Haiba stood by and did not dare to move, for fear of causing his father’s anger.
Today can be said to be the low point of the Haiba family in the past two decades.
“Ahem, ahem…”
There was a coughing sound outside the study.
Count Haiba and Endin were shocked, and quickly turned to face the door of the study, and an old man of about sixty years old came in.
This old man is the first count of the Haiba family: Roki Haiba.
He was the founder of the Haiba family, and it was he who received the imperial reward to become a count.
And the current Count of Haiba is the second Earl: Ras Haiba.
“Father, why are you here?”
Count Russ said bitterly.
“Grandpa.”
Ndin stepped forward to help the old man.
“Hmph! Are you going to tear down the house? ”
Roki looked at the messy study and reprimanded, “How did I teach you?” Be calm in case of trouble, what do you think you are a shame now? ”
Count Russ lowered his head guiltily, “Father, I have demoted the Haiba family. ”
“The punishment is out?”
Rocky sat in his chair and asked with half-squinted eyes, “I’ll hear the specifics.” ”
“Yes.”
Count Russ said respectfully, “The bishop of the Eternal Church happened to be exposed in the tavern we operated, and there is no way to leave this alone. ”
“Opai the Great was very annoyed, reprimanded me, demoted the count to a viscount of the first rank, fined him 10,000 gold coins, and cut out 5 towns in his territory.”
Count Russ said this, his face full of haze.
Five town territories were cut out, and there was no way to collect how much tax could not be collected, making people feel distressed and almost unable to breathe.
“Viscount 1st Class.”
Luo Ji’s face also darkened, and he said coldly, “I didn’t expect to see the day when I was demoted before I died.” ”
“Father, it’s my fault.”
Count Russ quickly knelt down.
“If you just find a cult in our tavern, even if you can’t get rid of the relationship, it won’t be serious enough to be demoted, right?”
Roki let his son kneel and said indifferently, “What else happened in it?” ”
“That Chason shouted at the scene to cooperate with us, and when the inspection department interrogated him later, he insisted that we were looking for them to buy mutation potions.”
Count Russ was extremely annoyed, gritting his teeth and saying, “There are also more than a dozen knights of the Inspector General who also believe that we are colluding with the cult. ”
“Oh, this Chason is quite smart.”
Roki opened his cloudy eyes, revealing Senran’s killing intent, “As for those knights, they are a little not very smart, find someone to dispose of them.” ”
Chason’s clever behavior is to expose the Haiba family, and the inspector general must protect him from death.
“Understood.”
Count Russ also had this plan, so that people outside would remember that the Haiba family could not be messed with.
“How was it exposed?”
Rockey asked.
“It was discovered by a knight named Joji, and there was an abnormality at the door of the tavern…”
Count Russ knew the contents of the report at noon.
“Oh, such a clever knight, let him go early to serve the gods.”
Roki said indifferently, “The arrangement is reasonable, don’t let people catch the handle.” ”
He doesn’t care whether the other party’s behavior is righteous or not, and the people who provoke the Haiba family will die.
“Yes.”
Count Russ’s eyes flashed with killing intent.
“And Lint also dispose of it, the fool will not live.”
Roki’s words and deeds decided the life and death of these people, “That Charson… Let the people in the inspection department see if there is a chance to do it. ”
“……”
Ndin didn’t dare to come out.
The title was lowered, which had already made grandpa and father angry, and everyone who was related would die.
“Within a month, too long is not good.”
Roki’s wrinkled palms clenched, setting the time for everyone’s death.
“Yes.”
Count Russ replied respectfully.
“Do you have any ideas for restoring the knighthood?”
The main reason for Roki to come was to restore the title of count.
There is a very big difference between the count and the viscount, one is a middle nobleman and the other is a lower noble.
“Son, I don’t know.”
Count Russ bowed his head.
“I know.”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Roki’s eyes.
This son of his own only has the ability to keep the achievement, and has no ability to forge ahead.
He looked at Endin, in the future, the family still has to look at this grandson.
Roki asked approvingly, “Endin, what do you have in mind?” ”
“Grandpa, I think you can start with the royal family.”
Endin clearly thought of the question.
“Oh? Say it and listen. ”
Rockey’s eyes lit up slightly.
“The Austrian Emperor actually doesn’t care if we hook up with a cult, he cares about how to weaken our real power and aristocracy.”
Endin saw through the essence of this matter and said, “As long as we make some merit, we can offset the merit and restore the title of count.” ”
“How to make meritorious service?”
Count Russ asked eagerly.
“I’ve figured it out for a long time.”
Endin looked like he was in control, and said grimly, “Recently, I know that the favorite little princess of the Emperor Opai, she often sneaks out of the palace to play, we can send someone to kidnap her…”
Count Russ interrupted in surprise and shouted, “Another hero to save the beauty, the emperor will definitely reward you, then restoring the knighthood is the best reward.” ”
“Yes.”
Endin rolled his eyes, and let his father finish speaking.
“Contact the people of the cult and let them do it.”
Roki thought of more and arranged, “Let them kidnap the princess under the slogan of saving Bishop Chason, and we can wash everything out again.” ”
“Yes, maybe we can go further.”
Count Russ and Endin suddenly realized.
“It’s impossible to go in again.”
Rockey had long known the Emperor’s mind.
His cloudy eyes were full of wisdom, and he sneered, “If you want to focus further, it is still on the battlefield.” ”
“Father, do you mean war is coming?”
Count Russ said excitedly.
“Well, news came from the front, and the barbarians began to become active again.”
Roki stood up, stared at the two with his eyes glued to the two and said, “Whether you can be promoted to marquis depends on the plan this time.” ”
His goal was to become a high-class nobleman, and it would be better if he could become a grand noble duke.
“Yes.”
Count Russ, Endin answered respectfully.
“Don’t let me down.”
Roki stepped away.
