Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 27 Revenge

The animal trading market located in the south of Heiyan City has become hot in the past two days. Compared with the bustling place where only pets were sold in the past, the horse trading area here has become more lively recently. Many people in Yancheng began to think about the allocation of carriages. The power of the Norman Empire's hierarchy began to appear and affected everyone's lives at all levels.

In this animal market, a news spread recently that the horse trading area will be separated from the market, and someone will invest in building a larger and higher-grade horse trading place to cater to some people in Heiyan City in the future. demand.

In the Norman Empire, except for the army and public transportation, only the gentry could take private cars in public. Many wealthy people and businessmen in Heiyan City can only be regarded as civilians. Once the military control of Heiyan City is over, their cars can only be placed at home to play with.

Some people were moaning and frowning, but the owners of the horse farms in Heiyan City and the farmers in the surrounding farms who raised more horses were all smiling.

There are several horse farms in Heiyan City, and the business of these horse farms has been booming these days. Those farmers who can raise horses, drive cars and take care of horses have also become popular, which means that many people who can only work in the fields will get a chance to work in the city in the future. Those wealthy civilians who can only own a carriage at home, want to own a carriage, at least two people must be hired, a coachman who drives the carriage, a groom who raises horses, and at least two strong enough horses must be bought. Order a carriage that meets the requirements of the empire, build a stable at home, and spend a sum of money on horse feed every day.

This is much more complicated than driving a car, so many people who have to prepare to change transportation have some complaints. But even if there were complaints, they could only keep the complaints in their stomachs, and they didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction at all. The system of the empire is like this, let alone a few small businessmen in Heiyan City, even the businessmen of the entire empire dare not object. Even in Heiyan City. For this kind of change, some people are unhappy, and more people are happy, and the number of the latter is far greater than that of the former.

If you want to ride a car, it's simple, you have to make enough contributions to the empire first, and then you can become a gentry. A businessman must become a gentry of the Norman Empire—even the lowest-ranking Tongye gentry among the gentry. The minimum threshold also has a tax or donation quota of 1,600 gold coins.

The gentry class of the Norman Empire is divided into seven levels-the lowest level is the sycamore leaf gentry, the upper level is the oak leaf gentry, the upper level is the maple leaf gentry, and then the pine leaf gentry, and the next three high-level gentry classes are It is the clove gentry, the rose gentry. There are also rose nobles. Each gentry class has different rights in various aspects.

The few leaf-like leaves on Zhang Tie's officer's certificate indicate that Zhang Tie is now in the class of leaf-like nobles in the hierarchical order of the Norman Empire. This is also how the Norman Empire army started with the treatment of second lieutenant officers. In the Norman Empire, soldiers who worked for the country were always more respected than those who only took out a few gold coins to contribute to the country.

And a businessman who has become the lowest Wutong Yeshi clan through legal taxation or donation,

If you want to upgrade to another level, in addition to the tax and donation money will be doubled several times, there are several other more stringent requirements, such as having no criminal record. To become a role model for society morally, there must be no obvious stains, be enthusiastic about social welfare, and be generous in helping others. After meeting these strictly quantified requirements, at the end, at least 300 imperial civilians must sign and approve, and pass the Imperial Order Review Committee Only by reviewing can one become a nobleman like a leaf.

The oak leaf gentry has more rights than the sycamore leaf gentry.

The lowest-level officials of the empire must at least be selected from the oak leaf gentry class or the direct blood descendants of families formed by the oak leaf gentry class. Ordinary civilians and Wutong Yeshi clan are not qualified to become imperial officials.

The hierarchy of the Norman Empire was a strict and powerful foundation for national governance. After hundreds of years of practice by the Norman Empire, this ruling foundation has become stronger and more solid.

This hierarchy is introduced in the Chapters of Order - the statutory text of the Norman Empire's governing foundations, published by the Norman Imperial Order Censorship Committee. This book has been the most talked about in Heiyan City these days, and it is also the most popular bookstore.

While setting up the street stall, several guys next to Zhang Tie who were also selling things were chattering about this topic. Recently, the hottest topic in Heiyan City is "Chapter of Order" and the other is Empire and the Sun The gods are increasingly at war in the Karur region.

Also from the discussion of those people. Zhang Tie knew that it turned out that the seven families of the Heiyan City Coal and Steel Federation cooperated with the empire to "peacefully liberate" Heiyan City, the patriarchs of the seven families. They will all be awarded the status of the imperial rose gentry, and because of his iron and blood dark energy, he was enlisted by Colonel Leibniz according to the rules of the empire, and he was lucky enough to become one of the only eight gentry during the military management of Heiyan City. Although it is only a low-level leaf-like gentry, it is still a gentry after all.

In front of Zhang Tie's carpet were several small bamboo cages, and inside the bamboo cages were golden unicorns. These were bought by Zhang Tie from a few children who caught golden unicorns when he came here in the morning. There are more than 30 golden unicorns in Tie's hands, and these golden unicorns cost Zhang Tie twelve silver coins.

The golden unicorn is a kind of beetle that looks very cute. The male unicorn has a big horn on its head and looks naive. Zhang Tie caught this kind of beetle from a tree twice when he was a child and played with it. Beetles are not rare, but they are not so easy to catch, and it takes some effort. Those eleven or twelve-year-old children living in the farm outside Heiyan City were very happy about this kind of extra money.

Zhang Tie was setting up a stall under the shade of a tree, watching the unicorn crawling around in the cage in front of him, while waiting for that bastard Samira to arrive.

At this moment, Zhang Tie looked to be in his twenties. He was wearing an ordinary pioneer costume, a little outdated, and a straw hat. At a glance, one could tell that he was a down-and-out young man who didn't do well among the pioneers.

...

It was almost noon when Samira came. Following Samira, there were two strong men who were like bodyguards.

Samira walked around the market and only received more than thirty golden unicorns. This amount is not enough to complete today's task. Samira is a little anxious. She embezzles some of the money for buying these living creatures every time. As long as she can complete the task, Master Abian doesn't mind giving herself such a small reward. , but if the task could not be completed, he would not have the guts to face Master Abian's wrath. Don't let Master Abian feel that he is useless. Started to feel dissatisfied with myself. This is what Samira fears the most.

Just when Samira was a little anxious, he saw the young man in his twenties dressed up by Zhang Tie and the golden unicorns in the bamboo cages strung together under Zhang Tie's feet. I breathed a sigh of relief.

When he came in front of Zhang Tie, he didn't even ask Zhang Tie, and asked a strong man next to him to pick up the cages containing the unicorns on Zhang Tie's ground, and pour out the unicorns inside. Put it in a unified larger cage that you hold in your hand.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Tie, who spat out the grass stalk, asked in a rough voice with an angry face.

"I want your golden unicorns!" Samira glanced at Zhang Tie's attire, and a disdainful expression flashed across her face.

"Do you take something without asking the price?" Zhang Tie asked rhetorically.

"Ha!" Samira chuckled, and looked at Zhang Tie with the eyes of a country bumpkin, "Is this your first time here, do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are, you have to pay for what you want!"

"Of course. I will pay for it!" Samira said, took out a few silver coins from her pocket, threw them to Zhang Tie, turned around and left, followed by the two big men beside him.

Just after Samira took a few steps, Zhang Tie ran after her, "You only gave eight silver coins, which is not enough. I, the golden unicorns, need at least 16 silver coins..."

Samira turned around with the two big guys.

"Boy, don't be shameless. I am the only one who buys your golden unicorn in Heiyan City. It's just something for children to play with. Giving you eight silver coins is already worthy of you!" Samira's face suddenly changed. It just cooled down.

Zhang Tie tossed 8 silver coins to Samira, "This is your silver coin, give me back my unicorn. There are 23 of them in total, I won't sell them anymore!"

Samira did not accept the silver coin thrown by Zhang Tie, but gave a look to a strong man next to him, when Zhang Tie reached out to grab the cage in Samira's hand. The strong man rudely pushed Zhang Tie back a few steps, and sat down on the ground.

"Boy, if you don't tell the truth, I won't be polite to you. Take the silver coins on the ground and get out!" Samira scolded Zhang Tie, then turned around and left, while the two strong men beside him protested towards Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie gestured with his fist.

Seeing the dispute here, many people around gathered around.

"Boy, forget it, that person is working for Master Abian, you can't afford to offend him, take the few silver coins on the ground and leave quickly!" A kind person persuaded.

Zhang Tie sat on the ground for a few seconds, as if he had been greatly wronged, then he jumped up from the ground with a loud cry, and chased after Samira. The gleaming dagger shocked the people around him, they didn't expect Zhang Tie's temper to be so strong.

Everything that followed happened too quickly.

Samira didn't stop until Zhang Tie's yelling, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Zhang Tie rushing towards him with a dagger in his hand. Zhang Tie's dagger stabbed him in an instant, right in the heart until it was gone. Then Zhang Tie snatched the cage containing the golden unicorn fairy from his hand, and ran away without stopping...

It wasn't until Zhang Tie ran more than ten meters away that the two muscular men following Samira realized what had happened. They glanced at Samira who fell to the ground in an instant, and chased Zhang Tie together.

Zhang Tie ran towards the wild mountain south of Heiyan City. Zhang Tie's speed was so fast that the two strong men gritted their teeth and tried their best to chase after less than 50 meters. Farther and farther away, and finally got into the woods and could no longer see...

In the end, the two strong men went to the woods to search for a while, but they couldn't find a hair. They could only go back to the place where Samira was stabbed in frustration. When they came back after a lot of trouble, Samira was dead. I can't die anymore.

Just when the two of them were chasing Zhang Tie, the spectators around found out that someone had died, and immediately dispersed. No one even took a second look at Samira who was lying on the ground.

Everyone thought Samira deserved it, and many people in the market were even happy when they saw the two big men following Samira come back with dejected faces.

"That bastard Samira should have died a long time ago!"

"That's right, that Chinese youth ran too fast, and his temper was too strong..."

"I heard that the Chinese in the Norman Empire are not easy to mess with?"

"Of course, this will also make some bastards behave better!"

Among all the people, only a ground snake in the market turned pale when he saw Samira lying on the ground. From the discussions of those around him, he already knew that the person who killed Samira was the one who killed Samira in the morning. A few silver coins to the Chinese youth who asked him about Samira, but at this time, even if he was killed, he would not admit that someone had asked him about Samira.

This is a vendetta caused by unfair trading, that's it, that's it! I have never even seen what that Chinese youth looks like, absolutely never! What a pity that something like this happened in the market! The man said it to himself twice in his heart.

On the side of the market, a sheriff soon came to investigate the scene, and then recorded the cause of Samira's death and what happened. The homicide was a major case. The sheriffs tossed about for more than an hour before finally allowing the two muscular men to arrest Samira. Mira's body was carried away. To the sheriffs, the murderer was just a Chinese pioneer in his twenties. He didn't know his name, where he came from, where he lived, and what partners and friends he had. Under the chatter of a bunch of witnesses around, even the appearance of that person became strange, and that person ran away after killing someone, who knows if he will return to Heiyan City? For this kind of case, whoever is interested will take care of it. Anyway, they don't have the time to go to the wild to find such a person. Characteristic Chinese pioneers in their twenties.

...

Not long after Samira's body was moved back to the luxurious manor castle next to the Green Lake in Black Flame City, Master Abian, who had a high reputation in Black Flame City, knew the news of Samira's death...
