Chapter 54 Father and Son(2/2)
Lei looked at the groups of police officers and soldiers wandering energetically on the street, nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, that's right, well, these soldiers are so strong... When spring comes, I will also
I'm going to visit the Mad Dragon Legion and select a group of strong and tall soldiers. I have other uses for them." Qian Lei still remembered the thoughts of his longbowmen.
A little embarrassed, Gosia pulled out his foot that was stuck in a particularly deep snow pit, and said: "Sir, don't worry, now Lord Crete and the others are supervising the training of the brothers in the military camp all day long, and they are here to take charge.
, Even if it is winter, brothers will not relax. It is guaranteed that in spring, we can have a very powerful army... It is a pity that the Mad Dragon Legion was originally heavy cavalry, but now the empire's war horses are insufficient, and the result is
We have 150,000 heavy infantry attached to us, so there is nothing we can do about it."
Karub smiled: "Heavy infantry? I like heavy infantry. When the time comes, sir, let me lead the heavy infantry."
Lei quickly nodded in agreement, and they also walked outside the courtyard of Lomat's house. This was a large courtyard. It could be seen that the previous owner of the courtyard had been very prosperous. The spire on the high fence
The dense beech trees inside the iron gate are proof of the glory that this courtyard once had. But on the light iron gate, the shield-sized emblem was covered by a piece of iron sheet and replaced with a plate-sized one with a very simple pattern.
The fact that the family has a badge tells all passers-by that this family has fallen into decline.
Looking at the majestic knights at the gate of the nearby yard, and then at the deserted gate of Lomart's house, Lei couldn't help but frowned slightly, and whispered: "It's strange, who comes to visit so early in the morning?"
Where is Lomat? You see, at least four carriages and thirty horses have entered the yard."
Gosia shook his head repeatedly and said: "It's hard to say, Lomat's father Esther is just the chief officer of a small office in the Ministry of State. He was promoted because of Lomat's credit. It's not necessarily someone who wants to come."
Visit him?"
Lei shook his head and said: "No matter how many things there are, don't think about things that you can't figure out. Let's go in. It looks like there won't be any servants at Lomat's house to open the door." Lei pushed straight away.
He opened the half-open iron door and walked through the foot-thick snow towards the main building of the courtyard.
The main building of the courtyard was very popular hundreds of years ago. It was a style with a lot of knight statues as decorations. The front was up to 100 meters wide and only 12 meters high, which is the height of a three-story building. It made the entire main building look...
It has a very solemn style, very much in line with the style of a great nobleman. But now all the white statues are covered with black dust, and there are large and small ice crystals hanging from them. The roof of the entire main building is also broken in many places.
, it seems to have a desolate atmosphere.
Lei frowned and approached the main building. Sure enough, four luxurious carriages were parked outside the steps of the main building, and dozens of war horses were casually tied to the railings of the verandah outside the main building. Those war horses were staring at those people in boredom.
Shoes stepped on the railings, and sparks flew everywhere. The drivers of these carriages seemed to have entered the building, and no one could be seen.
Lei strode into the main building with a somewhat ugly expression. He knew some of the imperial etiquette from Comoso. The coachman was not allowed to enter the main building unless you wanted to show extreme contempt for the owner. Lei probably
He knew what kind of trouble Lomathe and the others had encountered, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen to Lomathe.
There was no one on the first floor, so Lei rushed straight to the second floor. The main buildings of these aristocratic houses may have different exterior styles, but the interior layout was generally the same. Lei walked directly through the hall on the second floor and pushed open a door.
Opening a tall oak door, you walked through a small reception room and arrived outside the conference room at the end of the second floor. Several old servants were standing silently outside the reception room, carefully opening the door secretly.
He opened a crack and eavesdropped on the sounds inside.
A young voice said arrogantly: "Oh, dear Baron Esther, my old Baron, no matter what, the five thousand gold coins you borrowed from my family will always be returned, right? Oh my god.
, God, that was all a few years ago, but you want to return it after all? I am a very conscientious person, and I will not do anything too outrageous. After all, it is to save your wife.
You just borrowed this money from my father, right? But you have to pay it back after all."
A hoarse old man's voice sounded: "Bick, Viscount Walters, I'm sorry, can you give me a few days of grace? You know, I..."
Piccolo Waters and several other young people laughed: "Oh my God, how many days of grace do you want? For your mother-in-law, you borrowed my father fifty-five thousand gold coins to keep her.
Life, but she is still dead... Oh, damn mother-in-law... In the past few years, you have only paid back two thousand gold coins. Really, I don’t know where you made a fortune.
You suddenly repaid me 48,000 gold coins a few days ago. Oh my God, since you are able to repay more than 40,000 gold coins, then you must also return the remaining 5,000 gold coins."
A thief voice rang out: "Bick, Baron Esther's salary is only two hundred gold coins per month. Oh my god, he still has to maintain such a large courtyard. It will take four years to pay it back."
Two thousand gold coins is already very difficult. I suspect that he must have done some not-so-good things to be able to pay back your 40,000 gold coins a few days ago... Baron Esther, are you
Are you doing something corrupt and perverting the law?"
Lomart's angry voice rang out: "Bick, Helot, you are not allowed to insult my father. Those gold coins are my bounty, understand? That is the bounty I earned through life and death, you...
.”
Piccolo's voice was cold as he said: "Really? Lomat? Oh, by the way, it seems that you were promoted to a first-class title because of fighting? You are now a baron, and your father is also a viscount, but, dear
Lord Baron, money owed must always be paid back, or, perhaps, would you like to adopt a more elegant approach?"
Lomat asked in a low voice: "Okay, okay, tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Piccolo said gloomily: "Your yard, if you can't return my five thousand gold coins, then, dear Lomat, use your yard as a low payment."
Suddenly there was the sound of heavy wood falling to the ground upstairs, and several old servants whispered: "Oh my god, my god, what else are they going to dig up? There is nothing valuable anymore, there is nothing valuable...
"
Lei's anger grew stronger and stronger. When he heard the talk of several old servants, his anger reached its peak. He thought angrily: "Oh my god, why? Why can I get a reward of millions of gold coins?"
Jin, I can get a large fiefdom? And what about Lomat? Wasn't he the one who deceived the Six Nations Allied Forces from Horn City? Wasn't he the one who fought desperately with us in Qingfeng Plain, Xili Province, and Turk Canyon?
?Isn’t he the one who noticed something was wrong on the battlefield and suggested that the Violent Lion Legion escape while retaining the entire legion? However, he only received a mere bounty of tens of thousands of gold coins?”
Lei's anger was almost brewing into evil fire. But he didn't know that for the empire's civilian soldiers, being able to receive tens of thousands of gold coins after a battle was already very high. According to the empire's military merit regulations
, Lomat didn't kill several enemies with his own hands, how could he receive a bounty that was too high?
With a 'boom', Lei filled with anger smashed the door of the conference room with his kick, and his whole body rushed in with murderous intent. Kalub, Gosia, and Groot also rushed in quickly, and then
, they quickly drew their swords out of their sheaths, forcing a dozen young men who were sitting on the sofa just now, but now jumped up quickly and drew their swords.
An angry Lomat was standing at the desk in the conference room, supporting an old man who was obviously only fifty years old, but looked seventy years old. The old man's face was full of sadness and gloom.
Yu's expression was full of horror at this moment, like a frightened beast. Lei suddenly saw his mother's look on the old man's face, and his heart suddenly felt severe pain.
Lei approached Lomat with a murderous look on his face, and then slapped Lomat hard from the edge of the table to the ground two meters away. Esther quickly stood up and hugged Lei's arm tightly.
, said in panic: "Oh my God, this master, don't beat my son, he, he is ignorant, don't worry, don't worry, I, I will go find the house deed right away, I, I will give this yard to
You, I, I give it to you..."
Two tears flowed out of Esther's eyes. The face, occupied by an expression of suffering that would never appear on a noble's face, was twisted together for an instant. Lei also shed two tears inexplicably.
, his hand was hugged tightly by Esther, and he did not dare to use force, for fear of hurting Esther. He just turned his head and yelled at Lomat crazily: "Lomat, you bastard
, why didn’t you tell me and Crete? You actually let your father and mother be insulted by these bastards for five thousand gold coins?”
Piccolo's voice sounded sharply, and a young man with oily hair and a pink face, who looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, jumped up crazily. He cursed loudly: "Damn thing, who do you call a bastard? Who are you?"
Lei twisted his neck fiercely and shouted: "Damn it, I said you are all bastards. Damn it, are there any debt collectors like you? Even if Lomat's father owes you money, you need to insult him like this Is an old man insulting his wife? You heartless things, beat them out."
Gothia and Groot hesitated for a moment, while Kalub's eyes were shining, and he smashed the hilt of his sword towards Piccolo. A ball of thick energy hit Piccolo hard on the stomach. , Piccolo howled, and his whole body was knocked back two meters, and he sat heavily on the sofa. Then, his body was bounced up by the soft cushion, and he was as embarrassed as a toad. The foot horse fell to the ground.
The voice of Erote shouted, but it was a guy who was no more than twenty years old and looked like he was wearing jewelry. He screamed: "You, you are so brave, ah, Karub Mentor, it's you, you are so brave, you dare to hit the Walters family, you, you, just wait and see."
Lei Bao shouted: "Karub, cut off his hand."
Karub laughed ferociously and raised the long sword in his hand. A dozen young people were so frightened that they quickly retreated. Like little girls facing countless perverts, they huddled on the sofa in fear. Karub Bu smiled ferociously: "Whose hand do you want me to chop off? I will definitely carry out what my master says."
Luomat, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, finally got up with a purple slap mark. He spat out the blood from the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and shouted with a bitter smile: "Sir, please don't hurt them, they, they are all ..."
Lei coldly withdrew his hand from Esther's, and gently asked Esther to sit back where he was before, and said in a deep voice: "Loma, you are a bastard, Karub, stop, Injuring a few idiot-like boys will not add any prestige to us... Lomat, no wonder you haven't reported to my place in the past two days. It turns out that this is what happened. Why didn't you tell us? Could it be that I or Will General Jerry let these dirty boys insult our soldiers?"
Lomat looked at Lei helplessly and whispered: "My lord, my lord, although I know you can help me handle this matter, after all, this is a debt owed by my father. I, I really have no face." Asking others to help me... After all, I am my father's son, and I am unable to completely repay these debts, I..."
Ray's eyes glanced at Lomatte fiercely, and Lomart immediately retracted his words. Ray whispered: "No matter what, you can't let your father be insulted by others. You should not let him even more. His dead mother was insulted by others... Lomart, you are a bastard... What are you doing for? Crete killed more than a hundred brothers for his own bullshit honor, and you have to let him Did your own bullshit honor kill your own father? Look at what your father was forced to do."
The fifty-year-old man has the age of a seventy-year-old man. As a small nobleman, his face is as panicked and helpless as a beggar. Only the look in his eyes when he looked at Lomat showed extreme despair.
Kindness and love... Ray felt a sudden sharp pain in his heart. He knelt heavily in front of Esther, murmuring and pulled Loma over, and shouted loudly: "Then, I will also become your father's
Son, I will repay his debt, this is what I should do."
Esther and Lomat screamed: "Sir, you..."
After Lei kowtowed a few times, he quickly jumped up, helped Ester up, and looked at Piccolo and the others gloomily. He said fiercely: "Okay, just do what you said. This yard is
It's yours... Humph, it's a very good yard... Remember, we wrote off the five thousand gold coins in one lump sum... You must remember that I will take back the house that belongs to my father."
Piccolo raised his head in embarrassment and roared loudly: "Damn thing, you, you, you damn thing, who are you?"
Lei imitated Milomi's arrogant look and hummed: "Me? You don't deserve to know my name. Your father or grandfather must have seen me, but you, you are not qualified to participate in those events that I
The banquet attended... Remember, I will get this courtyard back... Kalub, Gothia, Groot, and you, Lomat, follow me, go back... Lomat,
Bring all the people in your family, don't they want this yard? I'll just give it to them... Huh."
Lei snorted heavily and helped Esther, who was at a loss, to walk out.
Gothia and Groot took the lead, using their swords to force back a dozen guards who rushed down from upstairs upon hearing the noise, protected Lei and his party, and walked out of the Lomat family's house...
