Grasp the farming script in the famous book

At last Athos returned to his estate in comfort.

It was the appearance of the mayor who saved him, and finally people recognized him one after another: "Really, it is the Earl de Raphael, our lord."

"The lord is finally back!"

The people did not see how happy they were: on the first day after the lord came back, he exposed the firecrackers worn on his waist in front of many civilians, ready to show off his force, but was sprayed with "anti-riot" potion all over his face.

The news was sent out quickly, and John, the old housekeeper of the manor, came to protect the man in a hurry.

In the end, the staff member who sprayed Athos on his face apologized to him and returned his firecracker to him.

"By the way, because of the large number of pilgrims coming to Tianshui Town, we temporarily unloaded the ammunition of your weapon to avoid accidental injury." The staff said when returning the gun.

Athos: ...?

Why does everyone know about guns now?

His gunfire was unloaded, like a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out, so he looked majestic.

But it doesn't matter, Athos has been recognized as the earl, and he has become the most powerful person in this territory, the person who can dominate everything.

But, but... After returning to the manor, Athos savored it carefully, and felt that it was not the case.

The mayor was the first person to recognize him, and his first reaction was not to claim credit, but to report to the countess.

Athos: ... So even the mayor doesn't like to flatter him anymore.

Needless to say, the people in the town regard "Saint Heathcliff" as their spiritual leader-although Athos heard from the steward John that this Heathcliff was originally just a knight who defected to his manor .

In addition to "St. Heathcliff," the mayor also followed another guy named Andre, saying that he was a spy sent by the king, and that his title should be at least a duke.

Athos thought to himself: Why does it feel like he is nothing in Sweetwater?

The people in the manor have also changed.

The old housekeeper, John, came back with him. On the way back, John was full of patronage to Mrs. Ti.

"This road was built by Madam."

"This flower garden was developed by the madam."

"The toilets and bathrooms in the manor were newly repaired by Madam."

"The floor in this hall was refurbished by Madam."

"What? Carpet? Madam said the carpet was unhygienic, dragged it out and burned it..."

Athos felt a heavy blow in his chest, not because he regretted those carpets, but because he left so hastily at the beginning, and actually gave up his entire territory to that woman...

And that woman actually did have this kind of ability, and brought earth-shaking changes to his territory.

Not only the old steward John, but even the knights who had always been loyal to Athos were somewhat displeased with their lord now.

When Athos first returned to his manor, he felt his belly was distended and he drank too much water, so he immediately found a random corner for "convenience".He felt relieved, but when he turned around, he saw the expressions of the old butler and the knights who came out to greet him after hearing the news changed.

"how?"

Athos shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Count, the toilet, in fact, is...over there!"

Immediately someone pointed to Athos.

The eyes on all sides are a little contemptuous.

Later, after learning that it was the countess who had strictly ordered everyone not to "convenience" anywhere, Athos thought depressingly: Obviously he can "liberate" everyone when he comes back, and no longer be bound by those red tapes, but no one responded, and everyone was very upset. To listen to that woman.

In the evening, too, the knights who sat at the same table with Athos and enjoyed a delicious meal, all of them held their knives and forks upright and tied their napkins, were all stunned when they saw Athos grasping the meat with his hands and eating it dripping with juice. .

But after dinner, Athos, accompanied by the old housekeeper, went to his study to check the accounts of the two years' territory. When he saw the total tax amount on the accounts, he was really dumbfounded——

In the past two years that the Countess has been managing the territory, the annual income in the territory has more than ten times the original amount.

Athos suddenly had a thought in his heart: he is not as good as her, he can't be like her.

However, Athos continued to look down, and the expenditure on the territory was more than ten times higher than before.All kinds of projects, houses, and hotels are built on the territory to entertain the pilgrims who come and go, all of which are paid by the territory itself.

In this way, as the lord of the territory, Athos' wealth did not increase much.

But the old butler John praised the countess again and again.

"The countess has put in so much effort to take care of this territory. The villain has been in this manor for so many years, and I have never seen such a dedicated mistress..."

Athos suddenly got angry from his heart: he is the most useless male master in this territory, isn't he?

Athos threw the account book in his hand heavily onto the desk, supported the desk with both hands, and was about to explode at Old John.

Unexpectedly, Old John was not panicked at all, he raised his hand and took out a jar, and gave Athos a "Zi".

Athos immediately remembered his experience of being sprayed with pepper spray in the town, cursed and stretched out his hands to cover his face.

Unexpectedly, the mist sprayed out of the jar is thin and soft, mixed with a faint floral fragrance, which smells very pleasant.

Athos suddenly fell back, and fell into the high-backed armchair behind him.Amidst the fragrance of flowers, he began to feel comfortable all over his body and limbs... His eyelids were also very heavy and drooped downwards.

"My lord, this is different from the 'anti-riot' spray you encountered in the town today. This is the 'sedative' spray specially prescribed by Dr. Zhivago. You must be feeling sleepy now." Bar……"

"Your temper tantrum must have been caused by the long-distance travel. You just need to have a good rest, sleep well, and wake up tomorrow morning in a calm mood..."

"In a few days, the countess will be back..."

Athos wanted to know about his wife, but he couldn't stand the fight of his eyelids. At last he sat down in this high-backed armchair and fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, he dreamed of his wife again, with that beautiful and pure face, eyes as blue as the sky, and skin as white as snow... His heart was filled with poetic emotion, and he did not hesitate to condescend to lay down his body to propose marriage...

Suddenly, he saw the lily brand on her shoulder again.

It turned out that she was a female prisoner and a thief... He couldn't tolerate this kind of shame, and he couldn't let the noble surname "Raphael" be insulted by a female thief.So he stretched out his hand to pinch her neck, and tried his best to strangle her to death while crying. He saw that her face was blue and she was not breathing. She was killed by his own hands...

—You are a sinner!

A voice in the sky condemned loudly.

Athos argued: I am not.

—you killed her!

Athos defended herself loudly: she was a sinner—look, there is a lily on her shoulder, a branded lily, only a condemned criminal is branded like that...

—No, you killed the unjudged.

The voice above the sky echoed, and the voice made Athos feel terrified.

You are not qualified to take the place of God and the judge to judge her... You are even less qualified to take her life.

Athos woke up suddenly, and found himself lying on his big bed in the manor.He didn't sleep well, his heart was beating fast, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

The dream awakened the memory of Athos: in fact, after he came to Paris, he used a friend in the High Court to consult all the files in all parts of France and search for all the records of torture on women's shoulders—— But he never found any record matching her age and appearance.

His wife was a woman who had never been tried and convicted.

For this reason, his actions are condemned by God and his conscience.

In a small town near Lille, a tall and thin man looked at Roland with hatred in his eyes.

"Back then, Floren escaped from prison to follow you, and I replaced Floren and served my sentence in prison."

"But for some reason, he came back here in despair. After finding out that I was imprisoned in his place, he voluntarily surrendered and let me be released. And he hanged himself on the railing of the cell."

"You said that Floren is still alive, you are joking."

Standing opposite the man, Roland said calmly: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. If I were you, after hearing the news about Floren, I would at least dare to take this step and see him with my own eyes. "

The man bowed his head and thought for a while, then said, "Okay! I'll go sharpen my ghost sword now. If you let me know that you are teasing me, I will raise my hand and stab you in the neck."

Roland replied firmly: "You won't."

The man had nothing to do with her, he could only stare at her dryly, then turned and went back to his room, closing the red-painted door behind him.Not long after, the sound of sharpening knives rang out inside.

Roland's cloak moved.Luna crawled out of her hood, squatted on Roland's shoulder, and said with fear: "Lille's executioner is really scary."

Roland comforted her cat: "Don't be afraid!"

She lifted her cloak and showed the pistol she carried with her: "Prince Andrew's latest work, with this thing, I won't be afraid even if ten executioners come together."

Luna said compassionately: "Even so, Lan Lan, you are still a little risky. After all, he is Floren's brother, and he was heartbroken because of Floren's incident back then. In case you hurt this innocent The person you are in will affect your favorability in the hearts of the audience."

Mao Mao was actually worried about the vicious-looking executioner in front of him.

Roland: "...Well, I can only say that your worry is a bit reasonable."

Suddenly the tall and thin man came out of his hut. He had already put on a scarlet cloak, and under the cloak was a strangely shaped broadsword.

"go!"

Lille's executioner never talked much.

Roland and the cat turned around very consciously. After leaving the narrow street, they boarded a carriage. The driver took the reins and drove the horses out of the city.

The executioner in the red cloak followed the carriage unhurriedly, as if he could keep up with the moving carriage by moving his legs casually, and followed all the way to Tianshui Town.

In Sweetwater Town, finally someone felt extremely grateful for the return of Count de Raphael.

Mrs. Brown knelt in front of the altar, and prayed loudly as if no one was there: "Oh, merciful God, thank you, the Earl de la Ferre who can make decisions for me is finally back!"
