Chapter 24 Official Edition(4/4)

Although Count Lavig would not openly stand against Count Robert, it is obviously the most correct and easiest to do to remove this matter from himself.

"Lord, since the Count Robert took over the duty to defend your safety, all matters related to you are fully responsible for Lord Robert Robert's subordinates. My subordinates are only stationed in the barracks and are always waiting for the dispatch of the Royal Knights." Laiwei said.

"Since it is the responsibility of Count Robert, please ask Lord Robert to investigate thoroughly. Who was poisoning the villa? The drinking water in the villa was poisoned. It's okay, because the water source is in the forest in the distance, but the milk sent in the morning is also highly toxic, so it should be thoroughly investigated. The milk was sent in through the escort battalion." Ruibo said.

"Maybe it's just ordinary food poisoning, many people will confuse ordinary food poisoning with intentional poisoning." Earl Robert said, obviously he no longer had the momentum he had at the beginning.

"This is impossible. The plant that can cause gastrointestinal ulcers and death only grows in the northern mountains but does not produce much, and no one will eat it as food. Its appearance and smell are really unique, and Tronfen is a poison that is difficult to extract. However, these two poisons appear in my villa at the same time, which cannot be said to be food poisoning," said Ruibo.

"How can you be so sure of these two poisons?" said Count Robert. "Don't be too confident in yourself. Anyone will inevitably make mistakes."

"This is not difficult to prove. I have asked Elder Mondi to appoint an experienced expert to test the poisons in my villa and treat the poisoned patients. Elder Mondi told me that the expert is absolutely trustworthy. His report is quite powerful and can be used as evidence. Is that true? Lord Elder."

Elder Mondie obviously understood what Rebe said, "Yes, yes, Pastor Matthew is the best pharmacist and therapist in the church. He is the supervising priest here by the Holy See, and his teacher is the respected Archbishop. Even if Pastor Matthew's report is absolutely powerful even if he gets it to His Majesty the Pope."

Robert could not refute Elder Mondie's words, after all, he did not want to offend the Holy See.

In fact, even His Majesty the King dare not offend the Holy See easily. Offending the Holy See is tantamount to self-destruction.

"If such a thing really happens, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly." Earl Robert had no choice but to find a way for himself.

"Earl Raiwei, this happened to me deeply worried. It seems that relying on the power of Count Robert alone is a bit too thin. From today on, your subordinates will move to a place five hundred meters outside the villa. With the royal knights of Count Robert being guarded by the periphery, you are guarding it inside, I feel much more at ease." Ruibo ordered.

"I understand, sir." Earl Laiwei replied with a military salute.

"No, this is tantamount to distrust my knights, I disagree." Earl Robert shouted.

"Earl Robert, your knights have indeed not fulfilled their duties. It has never happened so severely before you arrived. In my opinion, strengthening the power of the guard is the best way at present. If necessary, I can write a report to prove this matter to the Archbishop and the Pope. The safety of the Lord is not something that can be done with impulse." Elder Monde said calmly. Using the big hat of the Holy See to oppress others to surrender was originally the thing he was best at.

Earl Robert didn't know how to answer for a while.

Although he is sure that His Majesty the King absolutely supports him.

However, once there is pressure from the church on the other side of the balance of interest, it is not known how long this support can last.

Earl Robert weighed the pros and cons and decided to temporarily evacuate from this battlefield where he could not win.

"Mr. Byrndit asked you to go back to where you live, my carriage is waiting outside!" said Count Robert, his expression even more stiff.

Now, he only hopes that Rebe will return to the villa outside soon, and he needs Rebe to remain isolated until he is fully laid out.

Count Robert was not discouraged by not poisoning Rebow. Of course, disappointment was inevitable.

Anyway, he didn't bet all in one place.

In Nangang, he made another arrangement, and the temporary failure here did not affect the smooth progress there.

What's more, he has another killer weapon.

Before he left, His Majesty the King signed two documents, and the second document gave him absolute power, but His Majesty the King repeatedly warned him that he would never be able to come up with the second document unless he had no choice.

His Majesty the King was very worried that for the sake of the small Serthburgh, Prince Phillips could find an excuse to attack.

The content of the second edict was no different from forcibly seizing the status of the lord of Serth Castle and forcibly confiscating the property of the lord. This is a big mistake in the world.

His Majesty the King signed this document because in his opinion, a southern remote county like Serthburgh had no influence, and the Medin family had no strong support in the Kingdom of Francis.

Prince Phillips is the only one who will attack himself because of Serthborg.

Anyway, sooner or later, he will turn against the prince, and the king is determined to take back control of Nangang.

But now it seems that the little lord's heir has a far-reaching influence, and at least the support of the Holy See is behind him.

Earl Robert is now in a dilemma. He is reluctant to part with the position of the Lord of Serth and the innumerable wealth of Nangang, and he cannot afford to offend the Holy See.

The desperate envoy decided to drag His Majesty the King into the water.

Rebow was not very clear about what Count Robert was calculating, but he believed that Count Robert was definitely not a match for Mr. Hyde and Eckert.

"Thank you for your good intentions, but I prefer riding a horse, I will go back immediately," said Ribo.

Before Count Robert spoke, Earl Fesnan rushed to say: "Lord, I have something to report to my subordinates."

"What's the matter?" Ribo asked.

"This happened a few days ago. I originally wanted to ask you for instructions, but Count Robert refused to let me see you. He said that as your guardian, he had the right to deal with this matter." Count Fesnan said.

"Guardian? Earl Robert, it seems that we have reached an understanding about this matter. Elder Monte can fully prove this matter. Before His Majesty the King's further confirmation arrives, I hope that you will not use the name of the guardian to deal with anything without authorization. I think Elder Monte can supervise this matter." Rebbo said, and he decided to use the omnipresent and absolutely authoritative force of the Holy See to suppress Earl Robert.

"Yes, I will report it truthfully." The elder said. Of course, this elder was very happy to do such a thing as pushing the boat down the wind.

"What happened to Earl Fesnan?" Ruibo asked.

"It's so. In Nangang, some merchants united to demand that Nangang could become autonomous cities like those cities of Yilei." Earl Fesnan said indignantly: "Earl Robert did not get your permission, so he agreed to their request without authorization in the name of his guardian. Now Nangang is busy preparing for autonomous matters."

Rebow frowned when he heard everything Earl Fesnan said. It was indeed a very tricky thing, and Mr. Hyde obviously rushed back to deal with it.

This was obviously a conspiracy of Count Robert. Once Nangang became an independent city, although Nangang had a more stable and free status in name, without the protection of the Medin family, His Majesty the King could take back any agreement with Nangang at any time and put Nangang into his control.

Those short-sighted businessmen obviously did not realize this, not to mention that behind these businessmen there may be some ulterior motives who are inciting this matter.

"How many people in Nangang support autonomy?" asked Ruibo.

"It seems that this is what many people mean. The petition contains the joint signatures of dozens of major merchants. In Nangang, the autonomous petition is quite powerful." Earl Fei Sinan said with a frown.

"Doctors of big merchants? Ha--" Ruibo said with a contemptuous smile: "There are at least five or six hundred merchants in Nangang. What's the point of being able to gather dozens of merchants? What's the point of being a huge hit?"

Although Ribo knew that Mr. Hyde would definitely be able to solve this problem, at least he had to act like a good person and express some opinions.

Rebow thought for a while and said, "You immediately rushed to Nangang and told those merchants who wanted to be autonomous that Nangang is the private territory of the Medin family. If they wanted to be autonomous, Ferry Bay, twenty miles away from Nangang, is the territory of His Majesty the King. Nangang was already very small and had no room for development. There is also a small town in Ferry Bay. All merchants who moved into the town of Ferry Bay can enjoy the autonomy there. Earl Robert is the king's special envoy. How much tax is paid to His Majesty the King every year, just discuss it with Earl Robert."

Ruibo thought about it again when he said this. Although he knew he was acting, he had to act more resemble the performance.

Ruibo continued: "The merchants who moved out of Nangang can also use the docks and shops of Nangang, and no additional usage fees are allowed. I will buy the land vacant after the merchants moved out at the original price. Earl Fesnan, you plan to move the glass factory part of the Serthburg to Nangang. By the way, under my governance, I don't want Pidton, Lai and Nangang to still hate each other because of some of the dirty things that happened back then. Pidton was once known for its abundant wool. This business is very profitable. Go and plan for me and then call one or two big merchants to come. It's a pity that Pidton's wool was wasted..."

Rebow began to talk about business practices endlessly. Earl Robert had no interest anymore. He had no idea except for his secret complaints.

Inciting the businessmen in Nangang to make independence was a good idea that he thought about after he thought hard.

Although he did not think that using this trick alone could completely solve the problem, at least it could cause chaos among the southerners.

At that time, he, a big man known for his strength, was the most suitable candidate to come forward to solve problems.

However, unexpectedly, the boy failed to do anything in his plan after a few simple words.

As he said, even if he controls those businesses himself, it will be useless.

It is indeed possible to scrape a lot of money from those deceived businesses, but in this way, no one will be deceived again in the future.

What's more, he wasn't sure how many businesses would be willing to be fooled.

Those profit-oriented businessmen were originally talking fiercely, but if they really wanted to do it, I'm afraid few people would be willing to move out of Nangang.

If you are not mistaken, those merchants just want to take this opportunity to oppress the newly appointed lord and reduce taxes.

What's more, seeing Ruibo talking about his ideas there, he seemed to want the merchants to move out quickly so that he could vacate the land in the prime areas of Nangang and let him manage it himself.

Earl Robert had a very strong feeling in his heart, as if he was making wedding clothes for others.

If Ribo was just talking to himself, Count Robert might have thought the boy was acting.

But the Count Fei Sinan, who was so excited that he was so happy that he looked so ecstatic that he was obviously itchy about what the boy said, and I'm afraid this guy can't wait to do it.

Count Robert had also collected information about this little lord everywhere.

Because this young man is obviously not just a useless puppet as Count Matil described.

What shocked him was that this young boy actually had a lofty prestige in Sethburg.

But to his frustration, neither himself nor his knights could detect further information, and the young man seemed to be a mystery.

Now, Count Robert finally understood why the officials of Serthborough obeyed the young man so much.

Compared with those idiots, this teenager is indeed much more clever.

Standing beside him and listening for a long time, the envoy had made up his mind to give up the plan that had been planned halfway, because the plan had obviously failed completely.

Another idea also grew and spread in the hearts of Count Robert.
