Blackstone Code

Chapter 1249: Tradition

At this moment in the old nobleman's house, he looked at the little count's uncle with a particularly gloomy expression.

"I asked... and he proved that I didn't give any order for people to attack other people's properties, so if this order didn't come from me, it must have been issued by you."

In front of him, Kipling's face was also not good-looking, and he looked at the old nobleman's expression with a bit of resentment.

When faced with this question, he shook his head firmly, "I didn't do it, I'm not that stupid, and you told me to stop."

"Dare you swear?" asked the old nobleman.

Kipling then raised his hand and swore to the God of Gafla that he did not do any of this.

Sometimes it is difficult to understand the brain circuits of the Federation people, and the Gefra people, who are doing blasphemous things while being full of pure faith at certain times.

Criminals who have committed countless horrific crimes put their hands on the Bible in court and swear every word they say is the truth, and people **** believe it.

They would rather believe people's ridiculous oaths than scientific basis and factual evidence.

After watching Kipling make an extremely vicious oath, the old nobleman was even more confused, "If it wasn't you, then who did it?"

While he was thinking about this question, the phone rang.

After he picked it up, his expression became worse and worse. It was already bad enough, but now it's too bad!

In fact, Kipling itself was of little value to him, but letting him throw Kipling out to the young count, even if the young count apologized in front of everyone, would mean that he had surrendered, and the whole family had surrendered.

Not to mention the properties in Kipling's hands, he didn't get much after thinking about it for so long. Once Kipling leaves, these assets will also be taken away, and he will never get them.

This was unbearable for the old nobleman. He thought that His Excellency the Duke could give him a good solution, but looking at it now, the situation does not seem to be the case.

After he hung up the phone, he lowered his head slightly, which was rare for him, and he looked at Kipling, and his eyes were like some kind of predator's eyes, which made people afraid.

After about ten seconds, maybe half a minute, he said to Kipling, "The little earl made a request to the Privy Council, and he asked us to give up your protection and hand you over to him..."

Kipling's expression became terrified in an instant. He fought to the death with his brother's only son for the title, and even recruited many outsiders to put pressure on him.

After the failure, he directly stole the family's assets, then betrayed the family and married someone else's daughter, and joined another family.

These are unforgivable things for the nobles, but now the little earl actually wants to use his "belonging" as a compromise condition, which makes Kipling realize that the little earl really wants to kill him!

He was startled and terrified. The old nobleman's words revealed that this matter was the Duke's intention. The Duke approved of such a transaction, and he was a little flustered for a moment.

Seeing Kipling's ever-changing expression, the old nobleman suddenly gave him some comfort, "Don't worry, I won't hand you over to him. No matter what you say, you are my daughter's husband. We are a family."

"Maybe there are some conflicts between us, but that is our own business. It is our family's purpose not to abandon any family members!"

"If they want to go to war, so be it!"

At this time, the old nobleman had already seen very clearly that no matter whether he handed over Kipling or not, his dignity could not be maintained.

If you want to protect your dignity, the only way is to fight and solve problems in the traditional way of nobility!

He is very old. When he was a child, he had seen the sword fights between the nobles, and the fights were bloody. After the fight, most of the things would be resolved!

Since the little count made things difficult for him, why did he continue to tolerate it?

As for the plans of the Privy Council, it has nothing to do with him now. If he doesn't mess around, will he be able to get the power he wants in the future?

Not necessarily, and he is not a top-level noble such as a hereditary duke or marquis, so he must be able to hold various actual powers after the implementation of the new system.

Since he is not necessarily a beneficiary of this matter... no, he is not a beneficiary at all, why would he let his own interests be damaged in order to safeguard the interests of others?

Furthermore, even if he obeyed the arrangement of the Duke of Phoenix and handed over his people and those properties, his weak reputation would probably spread in the aristocratic circle.

Can a weak person play an important role in the political system of the new era?

This is obviously impossible!

The old aristocrat who quickly had such a cognition and decision made a judgment immediately.

Since no matter which choice you choose, the worst result is the worst result, so don't choose at all, and follow the rules of the nobility!

The words of the old nobleman did not make Kipling feel so relaxed. He had a very deep understanding of the old nobleman.

At the beginning, maybe when the two sides didn't know each other very well, he still felt that the old nobleman was a good person. Not only did he support him in competing for the title, but he was also willing to give him some assistance in other aspects.

It was only later that he discovered that all of this was for greater benefit, so that now he has no way to leave the family.

When a person who wished for him to die suddenly so that he could take over all his assets suddenly offered to help him, he always felt that something was wrong.

The old noble didn't give him more time and space to think, and continued, "Whether you did those things or not, we have no way out now."

"It is impossible for me to hand you over to let your nephew humiliate you. After all, your wife is my daughter and you are a member of my family."

"And you also have no way out, you have to rush forward, otherwise your life will be limited to this!"

Kipling didn't express his opinion immediately. After thinking for a while, he asked carefully, "Then what should I do?"

"Counterattack!", the old noble immediately gave him a decision, "Strike back fiercely!"

Kipling was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the old nobleman would really support him. He was suddenly moved.

But soon began to invest in "revenge", yes, he thought it was revenge, he suffered the most terrible humiliation in his life, and people all over the world may have seen his ass.

He's kind of narcissistic, not everyone is interested in his ass, just some women, and some gays.

This is the stain that he cannot erase in his life, and it is possible that because of this stain, he will be separated from the title forever.

It is impossible for the royal family to give the title to a clown who appeared in the newspaper with his bare buttocks. That would be the greatest humiliation to the royal family and to the entire noble family!

The little earl is really terrible. He cut off his "road to become a nobleman". How can this prevent Kipling from hating him to the bone?

The two sat together for a while and decided to take revenge!

If the little earl's people can smash their shop, then they can also smash the little earl's property!

Before Kipling left, the old noble told him proudly and arrogantly that the family had a lot of property in the imperial capital and even the empire, while the young earl didn't have many.

It doesn't matter if they lost a few shops and properties, but once the little earl loses some properties, it will be devastating to his income!

"We will definitely lose something, but we can afford it, but they can't afford it. In the end, they must admit defeat first!"

"Go, let people see our bravery!"

With the support of the old nobles, more than 30 people were quickly drawn from the family, and these people were all servants of the family.

Their parents are also servants of the family, and there is no need to doubt their loyalty to the family.

These young people are all in their twenties and are physically strong.

The meals of the nobles are very good, and the meals of the servants are also very good. They usually do some rough work, and they also maintain the safety of the manor or villa or other buildings at night.

With these hands, Kipling vowed to give his damned nephew a surprise and a lesson!

The little earl didn't have much property in the imperial capital. There were still some, but they were all taken away by those uncles and aunts, leaving only a few shops.

His main business is now in the Amélia region, so it can be said that the business here is not important anymore.

"Where do you think they'll attack first?"

The little earl didn't feel "victim" conscious at all, instead he was very interested in discussing the direction of the opponent's attack with Lynch.

Lynch didn't answer him directly, because he didn't know, "Which one of these industries do you think was the most important to you in the past?"

Such an instructive question is precisely what the little earl lacks most at present.

He didn't have a father who had spent half his life fighting those nobles in the Privy Council, and handed over all kinds of experience to him, so he could only rely on himself for his growth!

When I heard this question at this time, many answers were filtered through my head~lightnovelpub.net~financial company! ", he shouted, "Yes, it is the financial company, that must be their first target! "

There is also a financial company in Gefra, and the main parties for this business are the nobles.

Nobles have this tradition.

In ancient times, the middle ages and even modern times, nobles would lend seeds to the people under their rule, and then get a lot of food from them when the harvest season came.

"Seed loans" may have been one of the earliest forms of usury.

If the common people in the fief encounter some places that need money, they will also borrow money from the noble lords, which itself is the responsibility of the nobles.

As lords, they have the responsibility to give people all kinds of help when the people need them!

If there is one thing that is very stable and unobtrusive, it must be a financial company!
