I have a shelter
Chapter 187 Cruel Viscount Klober
"Don't plant? Haha, you haven't heard about the new bill issued by Lord Gast, have you? After coming here this winter, there will be no free food in the future!"
"I don't believe it, can we still starve to death?"
"What an ignorant guy." The merchant smiled coldly and opened his mouth again: "You really take it for granted. The Bloody Baron is a vassal of Viscount Clobber, and his heirs are all dead. The Holy Church The knights also seemed to have given up the land, but the Holy See did not accept the donation of this land! So our land will be taken back by Viscount Clober, right?"
There was a creak, and the instrument was accidentally pulled out, making a long noise. The busybodies gathered outside the tavern dispersed.
Then, the cold night wind blew in through the open windows and doors of the tavern. Under the swaying flames of the fire pit, the entire tavern fell silent.
In order to keep all those things away from themselves, some lords took great pains. But some lords always like to name themselves with fear.
Viscount Clober is that one!
There are people here who want to pour dirty water on others, and there are people who like to take the dirty water over. This makes this ‘skin-picker’ who does no good things to begin with become even more famous than that devil!
And when a person is never merciful and has only a bad reputation, it will be difficult for people to hate him - only fear.
To be honest, the people sincerely hope that Lord Gast can hang this 'skin-picker' on the stake. But the key point is that everything this guy who never shows mercy has done, even though many nobles are extremely angry with him, but what he does is "clean"
Instead, he brought down many nobles who accused him - Viscount Clober once robbed that guy of a batch of grain, but that batch of grain was also stolen goods!
More importantly, the noble could not prove that the group of robbers were sent by Viscount Clober - because all the witnesses were dead!
The only evidence is that even if the dead people were skinned, this matter cannot be regarded as real evidence.
——He went to the noble court three times during this period, but in the end he was acquitted.
This Gaster is simply stupid! ! !
Obviously, this is an extremely skilled high-level black glove - he has done so many bad things, and his butt is still clean! All the charges are just "groundless" and there is no evidence at all!
After George's last private conversation with Krober, George, who originally planned to kill him as a bad example, completely changed his mind.
This matter also made those anxious nobles feel completely at ease - to be honest, if someone really investigates, no matter how good a person is, there is something wrong with him. According to the weird laws of the Holy See, he will be labeled as a heretic. Number.
But even such people survived and began to work for Lord Dawn, so obviously, they can continue to be free - but it is a pity that these fools who thought they had escaped believe this. At that moment, it was already a grasshopper in autumn
The lobbyist's eloquence was extraordinary. After he reviewed Viscount Clobber's methods for everyone, everyone in the tavern was completely in a cold sweat.
To be honest, many laws are ineffective for wealthy squires, but this Viscount is not that easy to talk to - if he wants to do something, no one can stop him. And now this damn guy seems to have deceived the trust of the dim-witted Lord Gaster again.
The good days are gone
Many people sweated when they thought about how those people in his territory were still alive. The crowd couldn't help but talk about it, as if a disaster was coming.
The first thing that greedy skin-picker did after arriving here was probably to empty out all the food hidden by the wealthy squires!
No one can bribe him!
And these grains were obtained by everyone through unfair means. There is no way they can go against it in court.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a way to survive. Didn't you hear that the mayor, 'Lame Jim', is gathering people to cut wood and cut rocks? Those who don't want to work can donate food and finance, and those who just want to work, You can have enough to eat! Otherwise, I heard that Lord Clobber never raises waste! If any of you have unclean things in your house before, you'd better go to Mayor Jim as soon as possible. Discuss the donation, otherwise the big city wall will be short of people, and the giants on the mountain will be hungry too!"
"Oops! I heard that Lord Gast has sent people to negotiate with the giants! Many people who have committed crimes have been sent up the mountain!"
Ian smiled secretly when he heard this. Someone was indeed going to negotiate, but it was not Gaster, but the big lord.
As for the so-called sending people to the west, it is not to send them to the giants, but to dig traps there!
Many sergeants and mercenaries have been ordered to wait for several castles in the southwest. It depends on which castle the big lord will deceive the Giant Gate to kill!
The plan was extremely complex and top secret. Only a few people in George and Ian, the second-generation super official, know (is the mother Hathaway)?
However, everyone in the tavern was frightened. Some people just rushed out of the door - they planned to spit out the things and asked the mayor for a chance.
And those poor people who had no money to eat in the tavern and gathered outside the tavern to listen to stories also hurried to the city hall to sign up - they could eat by working! This kind of thing was really rare in the past!
In a flash, only a few people were left in the tavern. The lobbyists in the tavern stopped talking about these messes and started telling stories about adventurers. But most of the remaining listeners were absent-minded.
There are always people who don't believe in evil.
"After Old Jim came, this series of things was done really well."
Hant couldn't help but whispered. Indeed, Old Jim received the instructions of the lord before he came, and with the full help of Viscount Klober and the advice of a group of civil servants under him, he did more than one or two good things. He has gradually shown his talents among the mayors promoted by George.
"The spineless nobles and the mayors are playing a black and white show, which has deceived these lazy people."
"Spineless? Haven't you seen the methods used by the nobles to govern the people? Ha~!"
"The people need to be dealt with by the evil ones. In the past, Earl Elizabeth stored so much food, but it all ended up in the hands of these gentry! I wish Kroeber would skin them all!"
At this point, no one spoke.
The amount of grain stored in Guxi has been counted, 3 million bushels! According to 8 bushels a year - that is, about 200 kilograms, these 100,000 people will have enough food for four or five years even if they do nothing!
And it is said that most of them are from the earldom - she started storing grain ten years ago! It is said that she listened to the prophecy of a certain prophet.
But many people are still starving to death.
Obviously, if there is no food, there will be more people dying.
"According to what Jack said, we have overturned the case for Miss Elizabeth. If she really goes to heaven, we can't be blamed anyway."
"Indeed, I can always think of the blood descendants in the manor these days," Hunter said after taking a sip of beer. Originally, he hated these blood descendants, but these days, he can always think of the women who were sent to the mountain by his father.
Those poor innocent girls have also become blood descendants.
When the whole manor was suddenly cursed, many people were still confused. Until now, except for those blood descendants who have truly awakened and escaped from Elizabeth's control, many people have not done bad things and have been fighting against the evil spirits in the north.
"You won't have mercy on those blood descendants, right? Imagine the rewards we have received! I wish I could kill all those demons!" This made everyone think of the cases they had investigated in recent days-those townspeople who died tragically, those girls who were used as blood slaves, those children and even babies who were sacrificed! It made people angry and furious.
"However, we have to distinguish people. In the cases we have investigated, many of the cruel criminals are not blood descendants."
"Indeed, some blood descendants are more like people than these people."
The mercenaries were silent, remembering what they saw after the fog was dispelled in the daytime and the mercenary group followed the legion into the manor to search for the remaining forces.
And what Jack said afterwards
Ian sighed and took a sip of beer.
His eyebrows suddenly jumped, and he looked at the back of someone who was about to walk out of the tavern with a bag in his hand.
A very strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.
Because he found that if he hadn't just looked at the door, he wouldn't have noticed this person at all.
I have been observing everyone in the tavern, looking for the suspicious target. But in my impression, I don't seem to have seen this person. It's as if this little man in a leather coat and hood appeared out of thin air.
