Lord of Rot

Li Qi said: "Tell me carefully what's going on."

He assumed the relaxed posture of chatting, making Joe feel less inhibited.

"Yes." Qiao nodded, took another sip of beer, and continued: "We were passing by a water stream and wanted to rent a boat to cross the river. We happened to encounter a group of farmers blocking the way. Fortunately, we had better weapons and equipment and a large number of people. "

Qiao was a little frightened and said: "But we still encountered some harassment, and many people were killed in sneak attacks, although we also killed many people."

"After crossing the river with difficulty, I met Lord Wisdom's team. Miss Wisdom led that team."

Probably knowing that his lord might marry that lady, Joe glanced at Li Qi and found that Li Qi's expression was as usual.

In fact, Li Qi had 10,000 question marks in his mind.

Could it be that Cousin Stacie is a two-faced person? Judging from the correspondence, she is a young girl from a literary aristocracy. Why is she patrolling outside with her team?

My cousin who can't slap her to make her cry for a long time must be schizophrenic.

Qiao continued: "After inquiring, I found out that Baron Shuijian died of an illness some time ago. Baron Shuijian had no heirs and did not leave a will. Baroness Shuijian temporarily took control of Longship Castle."

This situation is rare, and it is estimated that Lulea continent has no relevant experience in handling it.

After a noble dies, heirs will be found from illegitimate children, collateral lines, etc. No illegitimate children, no collateral lines? Are you kidding me, are you a noble?

Without a man, Baroness Waterstream could not control Longship Castle because she did not have the blood of the Wodu family and was an outsider.

Even if the nobles would not take action on the surface because of their face and unfair reputation, they would definitely be jealous secretly and try to find a way to get her down, or force her to give up most of her profits and gradually eat away at the water. Jiandi.

Li Qi can even quickly list a list of small lords who have no land and no money. Only this group of worthless guys will crawl up like flies after seeing some benefits, as if the land can be allocated to them. of.

"The serfs and civilians will not resist because of this." Li Qi said.

Even if the lord is a woman, life is still the same. Is there any difference? It is best for ordinary people not to interfere in the aristocratic game. At most, they can talk more after dinner.

"That's right." Qiao nodded: "The reason why there was a commotion was because someone claimed to be the illegitimate son of the late Baron Shuijian."

"illegitimate child?"

Who is capable of having an illegitimate child, but doesn't want his wife to have a son or daughter?

If Baroness Shuijian is infertile, scholars can also check it out. Lurea's medicine may not be systematic, and some people even foolishly use bloodletting or bile removal, but it is very effective in fertility.

The illegitimate child is probably fake.

Qiao nodded helplessly: "The person who organized the riot when we passed by Shuijian was said to be the sixteenth guy who claimed to be an illegitimate son, but that person didn't look like the illegitimate son of Baron Shuijian, but more like his... father."

"Hahaha!" Li Qi couldn't help laughing.

"Wodu sixteen? My son is older than his father?"

Joe nodded helplessly. Although he also found it inexplicably funny, he was a noble after all. His lord could laugh, but he certainly couldn't: "Every once in a while, Longship Castle would send soldiers to annihilate the so-called bastard team, and put them away." Arrest him and interrogate him, and then execute him after he is signed and informed."

Li Qi nodded in agreement.

Even if everyone knows that the illegitimate child is fake, they cannot kill without permission. They must interrogate, sign, and announce to the outside world before killing, so as not to be caught.

The Baroness still had some patience, but Li Qi guessed that her patience had reached its limit.

The guy behind it just knew that she had no choice, because the name of controlling Longship Castle was unfair, so he kept causing trouble in this disgusting way.

Li Qi said: "The best way for her to deal with it now is to get pregnant, although it can't solve her current difficult situation."

Qiao nodded: "Yes, as you said, Baroness Shuijian claimed that she was pregnant, and she was pregnant for one month. It was the seed left by Baron Shuijian a few days before his death."

A person who died of illness in bed still had the energy to save seeds? But it's not important.

"I don't know whether the pregnancy is true or not," Li Qi said, "It can only be regarded as a delaying tactic. Although according to the laws of the kingdom, illegitimate children do not have the right to inherit, but is it legal..."

Illegitimate children do not have the right to inherit, but as long as the nobles behind the fake illegitimate children work together, it is not difficult for the illegitimate child to regain his surname.

As long as Leopold, the loyal prince of Shuijian Land, nods.

Judging from the attitudes of the Leopold brothers, sisters and illegitimate children that Li Qi came into contact with, they didn't care at all who was the lord, and it was far better to find an illegitimate child than allocating a wealthy territory to other lords and nobles to expand their wings. Put it there, guard it there, occupy a hole, and pick it when necessary to take back the territory.

So the possibility of Golden Thorn Sword nodding is very high.

"If the Baroness cannot stop it and allows the bastards to successfully capture Longship Castle, then," Li Qi paused, then said, "I don't know if a guy in his teens or twenties in Wodu can get rid of his bastard status and become a bastard. There is no need for the new Baron of Longship Castle to be born if he has an unborn child.”

This is the reality. If the Baroness really gets pregnant and gives birth to a child, all the sounds will disappear, and the illegitimate child will roll back to the fields in despair and eat obediently.

As for whether the child born by Baroness Shuijian is the child of Baron Shuijian, the child born from the belly of Baroness must be the child of Baron!

On the contrary, the old man who was born from the belly of an unknown woman can only be an illegitimate child.

The current situation is that sixteen illegitimate children have been born, but the Baroness only claims to be pregnant for one month. Even if the child is born early, it will still be eight months. Eight months is long enough for the castle to change its owner.

It's complicated to say, but it actually depends on whose fist is harder.

After chatting about Shuijiandi, Qiao talked about his trip to Green Forest Castle. He had basically determined the trade route with Linta Bay. The Porcupine Collar would provide honey to Green Forest Castle, but he was refused to provide honey to the merchants in Linta Bay. Selling honey.

Green Forest Castle needs all the honey, as much as it wants.

It seems that Grandpa Old Crocodile is also very optimistic about honey, and wants to use Porcupine Collar as a purchaser, wholesale and then retail at a high price.

"Don't worry," Li Qi said, "We have honey, are you worried that no one will buy it?"

Merchants from Lintawan can smell the sweetness of honey and find him soon, at the latest after three or four honey transactions with Greenlinburg.

"The honey from Green Linbao can be made cheaper so that grandpa can earn more," Li Qi ordered: "If a businessman asks about honey, you can say that the porcupine owns the honey, but in Linta Bay, only Green Linbao has honey! "

Businessmen will not refuse to travel far for the sake of profit.

As long as there is enough interest.

Just enough to attract a group of businessmen and drive the economic development of the Porcupine Territory.

"By the way, Lord Wisdom asked me to tell you that there will be a dance in July, Miss Stacie's 20th-year-old dance," Joe said.

"Looks like I have to go on a blind date."

Li Qi shrugged.

He is no longer so eager to eat soft food.

In the past, Porcupine Collar was poor and empty.

He had honey now, and little heaps of gold and silver in the caves on the headland.

The soldiers also returned and expanded to 100 people.

He didn't want anyone else to tell him how nice it was to live a comfortable life, but since the porcupine had honey, it was impossible for his grandfather to let such a good person run away.

Li Qi is not afraid. At worst, he will marry his cousin. But who has the final say? It depends on their own methods. According to his inner thoughts, he hopes that the territory is his own, and everyone should not engage in intrigues and quietly engage in infrastructure construction. , farming, happily bringing the people food and clothing, isn’t it delicious?

The problem is that external factors don’t come when you need them, nor can you get rid of them when you don’t need them.
