Succubus' Manor

Chapter 157

The boss never feels that the common people need sympathy, although he himself is one of the common people.

The boss looked at Chi Yan as if he was looking at a monster, with deep puzzlement in his eyes.

Chi Yan also found that it didn't make sense to tell the boss.

They have been in such an environment, and of course they don't feel that the environment itself is wrong.

"By the way, why didn't I see anyone go to the holy courtyard to pray?" Chi Yan changed the subject calmly, seeking news from the boss.

The boss didn't suspect him, so he took a sip of soup before saying, "The Holy Court has been closed for more than half a year."

Chi Yan: "Shut up for half a year?!"

The boss said indifferently: "Our people in Aliye seldom go to the Holy Court. When the old lord was still there, the Holy Court was not open much."

Chi Yan: "Was it like this when the old lord was still around?"

The boss nodded: "Yes, the old lord is a capable lord! He is a distinguished lord!"

The boss whispered: "At that time, the old lord, the people in the holy courtyard were very fierce..."

According to the boss, during the time of the old lord, the Holy Court had sought many things, either to raise taxes, or to compete with the lord for management rights. Anyway, the two sides fought in a mess, and the final result was that the old lord won.

And closing the gate of the Holy Court and shutting everyone inside is tantamount to house arrest.

Chi Yan: "Then why did you say you closed it for half a year? Didn't you close it half a year ago?"

Boss: "That starts with the lord of us now. After the lord inherited Aliyah, he opened the door of the Holy Court again, and gave those people good food and drink. Slowly, some commoners went to the Holy Court to pray. "

"Half a year ago, the price of food also rose sharply. Many people couldn't afford to eat. The people of the Holy Court asked these people to help deliver news to the Holy Court in other places..."

Probably everyone has a heart for gossip. The boss held back for a long time, and Chi Yan asked out as soon as he asked. The boss covered his mouth, only to realize that he had talked too much, and he had said everything he could and couldn't say.

Chi Yan glanced at the boss: "You've said everything, why don't you just finish it, lest I guess elsewhere."

Chi Yan quietly opened a gear.

The boss swallowed, as if he had been hypnotized, he continued honestly: "Those who went to deliver the news were caught by the merchants."

Chi Yan frowned: "Why is it a businessman? Shouldn't it be a guard?"

Besides, no matter whether it is the lord or the Holy Court, they didn't have much interest in entanglement with the merchants. The merchants only do business and give gifts.

Boss: "What if Master Bodwin is captured by the Holy Court and a new lord is sent down, who is disobedient?"

It was also the first time Chi Yan met the lord who quietly controlled the Holy Court.

Of course it wasn't Berdwin, but Berdwin's father.

Brave, decisive, and able to hide it all the time, it shows that he has skills. Such a person died early, and only Bai Dewen, a sick and handsome heir, was the heir.

Chi Yan mourned for the lord for two seconds.

But the other party is dead, and he doesn't know how incompetent his son is, so it probably doesn't matter.

Chi Yan: "What happened to Kerry?"

The boss is only telling the truth now, but he actually complained: "Your lord is so useless, if it weren't for Kerry, the merchant would have already shipped all the food away."

Chi Yan: "..."

Boss: "Master Kerry will quietly send someone to deliver the grain. Every three days, we can go to pick up the wheat in the middle of the night."

Chi Yan was shocked, no wonder the boss defended Kerry so much before, not because Kerry did something good before, but Kerry has been trying to save people until now.

But is this a means of buying people's hearts?Chi Yan was a little confused.

Boss: "It would be great if the lord could be useful."

The boss has said everything he knows, and now he is starting to complain. He didn't dare to complain before, and he could only hold back his words no matter how much he said. Now because of Chi Yan, he can say whatever he wants, and he can say whatever he wants. come out.

"The old lord is fine with everything!" The boss looked a little annoyed, "It's just that the son was not born well!"

"Lord Baldwin was not very good when he was a child. The servants in the castle said that he was still peeing his pants when he was ten!"

"I have been in poor health since I was a child."

Chi Yan took a sip of water silently, he didn't want to tell the other party that Bai Dewen was not in poor health since he was a child, but was pretending to be sick since he was a child.

The boss said with disgust: "I don't look like a nobleman. The old lord is so good-looking. Bai Dewen doesn't look like him at all. Maybe he is not the son of the old lord at all. Everyone says so."

Chi Yan almost spit out water.

The boss babbled, complained a lot, and said bad things about Bodwin.

According to what he said, the common people in Aliyah can still eat some wheat now, because Kerry will secretly donate it, but not everyone can get it. After all, the food that Kerry can give out every time is not much. There are so many people here, if the people in front get it, the people behind will naturally not be able to get it.

Baldwin is a trash, a trash that everyone knows.

Chi Yan: "Does everyone think so?"

The boss said firmly: "Of course! We all think so!"

"It would be great if we could change the lord."

Chi Yan: "Then why don't you resist, as long as you surround the merchants and catch them, can't you live your life like before?"

The boss looked at him in confusion: "That's what the lord should do, how can we do it? When the old lord is around, whoever disobeys will be hanged."

Now Chi Yan understood that they didn't resist except because they were timid and had no leader. Another reason was that they had been raised as lambs by the old lord.

The old lord reserved a good place for his son.

The land here is fertile, and the common people are obedient. Even if the son does not have much ability, as long as he does not make big mistakes, he can live in peace and stability, and pass this territory to their next generation.

The old lord must have never thought about the situation of his son being ostracized.

His son didn't even get a chance to make a mistake.

Seeing that he could no longer get any new news out of the boss's mouth, Chi Yan stood up and turned back to his room.

The boss looked at Chi Yan's back and sat there in a daze.

The duration of the first gear is very short, and the boss will return to normal after half an hour.

Chi Yan returned to the room. He sat by the bed and looked out of the window boredly. There were not many people walking around in the city now. Except for the occasional guards who came out, the civilians were all working in the fields outside the city.

They work more, eat less, and it is cheaper than buying cattle. There are not many slaves in Aliye, and most of the slaves are tauren.

At such a time, the slaves lived much better than the civilians. At least they didn't have to worry about having no food for the next meal, and they didn't have to worry about having no money to buy food.

Their food is taken care of by the castle.

Chi Yan waited for Kleist near noon.

Kleist came in directly through the window. Few of the demons had wings, and even if they did, they couldn't fly as fast as Kleist.

"They should be able to arrive before the sun goes down." As soon as Kleist stood still, Chi Yan hugged his waist.

Kleist patted Chi Yan on the shoulder: "What's wrong?"

Chi Yan sighed: "It's too miserable!"

Kleist: "? Who?"

Kleist had question marks all over his face.

Chi Yan: "The old lord of Aliye, the father of Bai Dewen."

Chi Yan told Kleist the news he got from the boss, and then sighed: "My son is a hero, my son is a bear."

Chi Yan touched his stomach, and said happily: "Fortunately, I am a man, and I can't give birth to children. If I give birth to a Bodwin, what should I do? My own one can't be strangled to death."

Kleist: "..."

Chi Yan said seriously: "I have also considered the issue of cultivating heirs before, but I was too busy before. After Aliye's matter is dealt with, let's adopt a few children."

Kleist also said very seriously: "Don't worry, you may wait another 50 years, otherwise the adopted child will die of old age, and we are still alive."

Chi Yan blinked: "Can we live long?"

Kleist said seriously: "The lifespan of the demons is about 200 years."

Kleist thought Chi Yan would be happy, but Chi Yan looked disgusted.

Chi Yan's dislike is very reasonable: "We must be too old to watch at the age of one hundred."

"Why live so long?"

Kleist: "I'll be old in the last ten years."

Chi Yan: "... Then it's okay to live to be two hundred years old, I can accept it now."

Kleist couldn't help laughing. He rubbed Chi Yan's hair and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about all day long?"

"The demons are coming tonight. I will let them control the castle first. As for the merchants..."

Chi Yan pursed his lips: "We don't know where they live yet."

You can't knock on the door from house to house.

Kleist: "Kerry should know."

Chi Yan: "Yes."

Then he stood on tiptoe and gave Kleist a very tender kiss: "Then act tonight."

The demons were still using their prototypes to rush forward, they ignored each other and headed towards Aliya wholeheartedly.

Hei was jumping in the grass, he didn't jump high, but he was fast.

Originally, he just brought his children to Stettin to play. He saved some money and planned to squander it with the children in Stettin before returning to the manor.

As a result, the task came before the money was spent.

Hei glanced at his companion beside him, and looked away in disgust.

Why didn't he find his companions so ugly before?

Or the child he raised is good-looking and smart.

His children can now read and write!I heard the story from the teacher and told it to him at night.

The companion noticed Hei's gaze, and gave Hei a hard look, and Hei stared back not to be outdone.

After staring, Hei thought while hurrying, when the task is completed, he will come back earlier, and he can still meet Dahe, and ask Dahe to take him to buy things for the children.

Besides, if the kids really like Stettin, he wants to move in.

Although the manor is good, but the children are so young, they should see the bigger world, meet more people, and learn more things.

The current black is full of expectations and confidence for the future.
