Chapter 593 You Are Becoming More and More Like the Little Ming Dynasty
After a short puzzle-solving session, the brothers finally found the answer in the backyard of the hotel.
Because for safety reasons, the back door should be locked from the inside at night, but at some point it was locked from the outside, like a dog being locked up.
Yes, this is the second wisdom in life worth learning. As long as I run fast enough, problems will not catch up with me!
Ai Ge also realized later, and when she realized it, it was no wonder that these people came in with sharp knives to rob, and in the end, most of them had food in their arms. She thought they were hungry and anxious.
I was so upset. It turned out that the valuable gold and silver items had been taken away by the host's family. The group of robbers had no choice but to take it away, so they rushed to the second floor to rob the guest room.
"Family members, we are in such a state of despair. Why do we feel that the folk customs have suddenly become tougher?"
Out of professional habits, they had started live broadcasting before as a record, but now they couldn't help complaining to the camera with a frown on their face.
After all, the main family had fled, so the remaining things were naturally left behind, so this group of people broke in to collect supplies in order to escape...
First of all, he is indeed guilty, he must be guilty, but no matter how serious the crime is, according to the rules, they are not qualified passengers to come forward to enforce the law.
As for the aristocratic master who has the power to enforce the law... Needless to say, even if the brothers really spend time and effort to send him over, it will only be a mess in the end.
So in my opinion, let’s forget it!
"well!"
After everyone discussed it, they decided to let the bandits go, keep the things, and neither party owes anything to the other. That's the end of the matter!
But just when Ai Ge was about to announce this to everyone, a line of barrage floating in the live broadcast room caught his attention.
[Anchor, look at the hand of the third person on the left! 】
"Um?"
Ai Ge snorted in confusion, but did not react in a hurry. Instead, she turned her head and took a look as if nothing happened.
! ! !
Old farmer... old farmer!
Have you ever seen an old farmer who is not even a professional, but his hands are round and smooth, like gelatin?
Ai Ge, sensing that something was wrong, immediately strode over, grabbed the man's collar, and lifted him up like a chicken.
According to the teachings of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, first shake it very gently until it is smooth and smooth, and then drink it.
"Tell me, who are you?"
There is a saying circulating in the world that the reason why the descendants of the rich have a greater chance of continuing to be rich is because they know more information than the poor.
Ai Ge doesn't know if this statement makes sense, but at least in this small barony with a low sense of existence, the importance of "information" is really vividly reflected.
Because when the villagers knew nothing and the townspeople knew a little bit, the nobles were already thinking about how to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune!
So these people in front of them are indeed farmers, but they are not the miserable and mud-legged people who deserve sympathy as the four of them imagined.
On the contrary, they were actually tenants who signed a contract with the local baron, or in other words, they were strong men who farmed the land and worked for the master.
As the strong laborers under the nobles, they had to work during busy farming periods and naturally could not rest during slack periods. They also had to accept the command of the nobles and perform various tasks.
If they are in areas where the kingdom's power is more developed, such as the North, East, and South, these part-time jobs may be escorting caravans, temporary security guards, or they may be brave enough to gamble in the mines.
But in the Western Territory, where they have been freed by the kingdom for twenty years, their farm life is more colorful.
To put it mildly, I would sacrifice myself as a thief when the master wanted something, and as a thug when the master sent people to the countryside to collect taxes...
Speaking more broadly... I don't know why, but every autumn, a group of bandits from unknown origins and the top of the mountain will appear in this baron.
There is no way, after all, he is the master, and the master’s hands are for enjoyment, for wearing gold and silver, for playing with little girls, they must not be dirty!
Therefore, some dirty work naturally needs to be done by these farmers, who are actually not very good at farming. They are more like the black gloves of local gangsters.
Just like today, after hearing that the western border defense line was being reinforced, the baron immediately summoned these tenants and asked them to cover their faces and help the master "collect taxes."
Hey! Anyway, when the military disaster comes, the territory will definitely be plundered. Instead of putting the money into the enemy's pocket, it is better to put it into my pocket!
Ironically, this is not the first time, and it is not the amazing wisdom that the Baron has suppressed alone. This has actually been an old rule in the local area for more than ten years.
In the plunder reports every autumn, many evil deeds are not necessarily committed by deep forest bandits. A considerable number of the initiators are actually glow bandits.
It's just that this year is a formal war. The master thought that he would probably never come back, so he simply ordered the tenants to give me a hard blow.
Unexpectedly, there was something wrong with the newspaper. Not only did he not catch a big one when he entered the city, but he provoked a big one.
"Guigui, this thing sounds familiar to me."
"Gan, isn't this a Japanese pirate?"
"Oh, that's cool. Even before the rice was converted into mulberry, there was a Japanese invasion in the southeast. I think this glow is really looking more and more like the Ming Dynasty."
"Okay, then my family has been raising deer for three generations, which one of you is the lucky king!?"
Probably because they were used to performing, the four of them started to make strange remarks while chatting, but their attitudes were basically dissatisfied.
So under the encouragement of the barrage, they finally gritted their teeth and took the local thug to ask the local baron for an explanation!
As a result, when they arrived at the baron's castle, which had been standing for who knows how many years and was so old that moss grew on the stone outer wall.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
"You fat heads and big ears, haven't you eaten?"
"Don't be lazy! If you delay the master's important business, I will beat you to death!"
There were many carriages parked in the open space near the castle, and the servants were carrying goods to the carriages under the command of the old butler.
Obviously, after plundering the people's fat and blood, the well-fed and well-drinking lord was also ready to take his family and run away with the money!
Damn, can this be tolerated?
But before they could rush over, the thug saw the opportunity and ran over, still shouting.
"Uncle, uncle, please save me, the pioneers are going to make a fuss!"
"Huh?"
The housekeeper, who was busy scolding the servants, found out that the nephew he had sent out to plunder the tenants and help him make a small fortune, was actually tied up and brought back!
How dare the old man neglect it? He immediately shouted to the guards stationed in the castle to take action and capture those daring traitors!
It's a pity that this barony is still too poor after all. Even if the baron tries to fish in the pond, he can't squeeze out much oil and water.
So the force in the castle is pitiful, with only three knights and more than 20 guards.
"You should be punished for helping the tyrant!"
How can these rotten tomatoes and potatoes be the opponents of the pioneers? Naturally, they don't even have the ability to resist. They are gone in a flash and fell to the ground obediently.
Thank you, I won't take the second punch until I get this month's commission.
"You...you, what do you want to do!"
The old butler was so frightened that he couldn't speak and turned to flee into the castle.
But just as he ran to the door, he found someone staggering out from inside, and the first thing he said was.
"Stop! What's the matter with you? What happened?"
The one who could scold the butler like this was naturally the baron in pajamas who was indignant because the player's move was too fast and he didn't know what happened.
"Master, you..."
Although, there is no need to think too much about what will happen to the nobles who lost their land, so the baron has been in a bad mood in recent days.
"Get out of the way!"
Now seeing the old butler trembling and looking like a coward, he was even more angry just by looking at him, and directly stretched out his hand to push him away.
Then he saw four Orientals, or pioneers, standing in the middle of the "corpses" of the guards, as if nothing had happened and at ease.
...
It must be said that this Sichuan Opera face-changing is indeed an excellent traditional culture. You can meet spiritual inheritors wherever you go.
So the baron who wanted to scold everyone just now immediately backed off and put on a warm smile.
"Hey, how come four heroes are here? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Although he was already furious, at the critical moment, Ai Ge did not open his mouth to scold, but threw out a sentence indifferently.
"We caught these people robbing people everywhere in the town. Mr. Baron, do you know about this?"
No need to guess, after a meaningless chuckle, the baron replied with a firm "I don't know!"
This book was recently updated in ##六x-on:x-on:九x-on:x-on:x-on:书x-on:x-on:吧!! Update!
Ai Ge naturally would not be embarrassed by this, but asked further.
"Then Mr. Baron, do you know what kind of punishment the robbers should receive according to the laws of the kingdom?"
The baron's face froze, and he secretly glanced at the nervous butler beside him, but finally raised his chin and said frankly.
"According to the law... the main criminal should be hanged!"
"Okay, thank you for the law!"
Ai Ge immediately picked up the gangster and turned to walk towards the nearby gallows.
The old housekeeper was born with no children and was counting on this nephew to take care of him in his old age. Seeing this, he almost fainted.
"Master!"
Just as he was begging for mercy, the baron raised his hand to stop him and shouted.
"Wait! Hero, where are you going to carry him?"
Ai Ge looked back in confusion.
"Of course, in accordance with the laws of the kingdom and your orders, this bandit leader will be hanged."
The baron also pretended to be confused.
"Hey? Who said he was a bandit leader, hero, you can't just slander a good family."
?
Oh, it turns out that you are squatting here!
Since the conditions for the launch of the muddy hammer plan have been destroyed by the baron, Ai Ge can only let go of the gangster leader who was frightened and paralyzed like mud.
He wiped his hands with a handkerchief, but suddenly asked another question.
"Then who do you think is the leader of this gang of bandits, Mr. Baron?"
"I...haha, just kidding, how could I know?"
The Baron was not stupid, and did not fall into his trap.
The old housekeeper was even less stupid, and simply pointed at his nephew and scolded him.
"Charlie, I know that you always follow that old bastard Jack Ke around, and it must be bad!"
Jack... Ke?
The ruffians were all confused by this sentence. Gods, who is old Jack?
"Jack! Can't you hear me scolding you? Come out!"
The housekeeper didn't give these idiots a chance to ruin his own show. He changed his tone while cursing.
"Hey? Damn it, where is old Jack? Oh my God, where is that damned scoundrel? Where is he!"
? ? ?
! ! !
Now everyone understood and started to talk.
One said that old Jack went to the toilet, and the other said that old Jack ran to the Yingying Lane. Those who didn't know thought that Jack would have a shadow clone.
In the end, because he was the housekeeper's nephew, the gangster leader who had the opportunity to study on weekdays stood up and unified everyone's statement.
"Uncle! Jack, the damned old liar, disappeared halfway. I'm afraid he has already run away with the money we robbed!"
Ha, I have to say it was a really wonderful drama.
With the cooperation of the three parties, not only can a bandit leader be created out of thin air, but he can also disappear out of thin air!
But this little thing can fool others, how can it fool the wandering poet who has thousands of audiences as a think tank?
They were so angry that they laughed, and they laughed with the baron for a long time, until the atmosphere completely dropped to freezing point, and Ai Ge lowered his voice.
"So Mr. Baron has to protect them?"
It must be said that the baron's rank is higher, but he can keep smiling on his face, and his words gradually become colder.
"What? This baron is the owner of this land. Everything that happens on this land is naturally decided by this baron."
"Okay."
Nodding, Ai Ge, who seemed to have made up his mind, didn't say another word, and didn't even care about the bandits, and took his brothers away directly.
"Humph, unruly people!"
The baron, who was already covered in cold sweat, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and kicked the butler and his nephew, and left cursing.
"Hey, what are you looking at, get on with your work!"
After such a thing, the people were still in shock, and they were busy loading the goods until the second half of the night.
Unfortunately, they were just a bunch of vulgar servants. No matter how hard they worked, it was useless. The Lord's escape plan did not include them.
However, they knew it well and did not think they had a chance. They dragged their backs and aches back to their respective dormitories.
But at this moment, a fast horse suddenly ran over from a distance. The messenger breathlessly handed the letter to the butler and asked him to deliver it to the Lord's bedside.
The angry baron had just been served by the maid to sleep when he was called up. When he opened his eyes, he saw the old face of the butler, and naturally he was full of anger again.
But the dirty words had already come to his mouth, but after seeing the contents of the letter clearly, he swallowed them all.
He looked up, his eyes wide open.
"Why are you still standing there, let's go!"
