Chapter 15: Baron Hansen’s Conspiracy
Looking at Baron Hansen’s twitchy expression, Luo Mo was very confused.
Didn't he really think that those ten serfs on war horses could overthrow his manor?
Judging from their physical condition, they may have barely reached the standard of a first-class knight, but their manor has also added many more people. Can't the Baron see that?
Or is his inherent thinking at work, and he still sees himself as the cowardly boy who only hid behind his father and brother?
Luo Mo was ready to test it first, so he said with a troubled expression on his face: "Baron Hansen, to tell you the truth, we don't have much food left in our manor. The North Wind Timber Wolf comes to harass us all day long, and our farmers and sheep are all Several of them were eaten by them."
"Fart!"
Baron Hansen waved his hand and said coldly: "The North Wind Timber Wolf is almost extinct these days for some unknown reason. How can it come here to harass you all day long? The serfs cultivated dozens of acres of fields in the Volo River a few months ago. They thought I was blind? Can't see?" When
Lomo heard this, he suddenly understood. This guy didn't notice his recent actions, he just noticed the fields he had previously cultivated on the banks of the Volo River.
But you can't blame him. The Wolf Extermination War is at the junction of the Sardin Manor and the dense forest. It is separated from the Hansen Manor by a large forest. It is indeed difficult to notice it without specially sending people to investigate. However, the fields along the Volo River were very close to the Hansen Manor. Baron Hansen would pass by when he went to the city to buy a female slave occasionally.
It's just that he was greedy for his own harvest, and he dared to rush into his own manor without even investigating. He was simply stupid.
It's normal to say that Luo Mo's brother died less than a year ago. No one would have expected that his strength would improve so much during this period of time.
As a geek, this is indeed a bit unreasonable.
What makes Lomo suspicious is that as soon as he received the blackmail letter from the Hoffy Brotherhood, this guy couldn't wait to come to the door. It feels like this guy has been coveting his food for a long time.
Luo Mo was confused in his heart, but remained calm on the surface. He spread his hands with a helpless expression and complained: "I really can't live this life. First it's the bandits, and then it's you. They want so much food, even if we sell our manor, we can't afford it. ."
This was what Baron Hansen was waiting for, and he immediately said: "Yes. Little Luo Mo, you are still young, so you don't know how hard it is to support the manor. I'll pay back what I said, then Huo Fei The Brotherhood is a group of extremely vicious people who kill without blinking an eye. Not only will they want your food, but they will also rob you of your things and women." Romo made
a sad face and said miserably: "Baron Hansen, if you want Why don't you show me a clear path?"
Baron Hansen took a swig of malt wine and said in a sincere tone: "Little Romo, for the sake of our neighbors for many years, I can help you with this."
"How can I help?"
"I will buy your manor directly, and you take the money to buy a house in the city and live happily. I will bear the risk of the Hoffy Brotherhood for you!" Baron Hansen patted him. said Breast.
After hearing this, Lomo finally understood Baron Hansen's purpose.
He actually wants to annex his own manor! And he also wants to annex it legally!
This stupid bastard has quite a big appetite.
He now suspects that the so-called ransom letter was actually forged by Baron Hansen in order to cause him to panic.
After all, there were only a few lines of words on the letter and there was no token. Anyone could forge it.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Baron Hansen to buy his own manor rashly, knowing that robbers would come to rob him. This is not because he feels that he has not been robbed enough.
Since the Hoffy Brotherhood is not involved, this matter will be much easier to handle.
Luo Mo's originally troubled heart suddenly calmed down. He has a certain understanding of Baron Hansen's strength. Maybe a little stronger than his brother, a peak second-level knight.
"How's it going? Little Lomo. If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn't be so helpful. I'm doing this for the sake of my neighbors, and I'm completely thinking about you." Baron Hansen continued.
Luo Mo thought for a while and said: "So, how much do you plan to pay?"
Baron Hansen stretched out five fingers and said: "Fifty gold coins. Is that sincerity enough?"
Luo Mo smiled coldly, fifty A gold coin is only enough to pay for the serfs in the manor. This Hansen just wants to get a manor for free.
"You can choose fifteen serfs at will to be your servants in the city." Baron Hansen gave way: "With this money, you can live happily in the city. Isn't it better than staying in this remote country?" Seeing
that Romo still didn't speak. Baron Hansen put away his smile, glared, put on a coercive expression again, and said coldly: "Why, you don't want to?"
Romo shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Hansen." Baron Mori, I think I have to think about it first. But thank you for your kindness. In return for your kindness, I can lend you 8 tons of wheat first." Hansen's brows widened slightly when he heard this
. Since he is willing to borrow it, it means that this kid has already given in. I will use my methods slowly in the future, and I won't be afraid that he won't obey my orders.
"But you have to write an IOU." Lomo emphasized.
"That's natural." Hansen smiled slightly. I thought to myself that this guy was too young after all, and the IOU would be of no use. I have a much better relationship with City Hall than you do, and you will never be able to defeat me in a lawsuit.
At that moment, Hansen picked up the pen and ink handed over by Luo Mo, and wrote an IOU with a swipe of the pen.
The paper Lomo prepared for him was large and had a lot of white space on it, but Hansen didn't care at all. In his opinion, this IOU is just a piece of waste paper.
After writing, Luomo collected the IOU and led him to the granary to carry wheat.
This time, the entire manor was shocked.
The militiamen and farmers watched helplessly as Baron Hansen led his people to load a large amount of grain into the car, and also brought out many other things.
They were extremely angry for a moment, and the knights and attendants were even more stunned.
Baron Hansen seemed to enjoy the angry and helpless expressions of the bankers, riding on his horse, looking arrogant.
George grabbed the knight squire Jos and pestered Romo, trying to get him to issue an order to stop Baron Hansen.
George's face turned red and he looked extremely angry. He said, "Master, you have supported us for so long, and now we don't contribute. How long will we have to wait? Let's fight with their Hansen Manor!" "How do you want to fight?" Luo
Mochen asked in a voice.
"Fight with your life! Either we die or they die!" Knight Attendant Qiao Si clenched his fists and veins popped out on his forehead. He trained day and night and already looked eager to try.
Barron also echoed: "Yes, Master, we can't let them bully us like this. When the old master is here, they will never dare to do this!"
Luo Mo stared at the eyes of several people and said warmly: "I ask you, because When someone comes to borrow food, we kill him. Won't the city hall intervene? In the kingdom's law, what is the crime of killing a baron? Can we afford it?" "This"
Barron suddenly fell silent.
In the Kingdom of Clay, killing a baron is indeed a serious crime, not to mention that Romo is a man without a baron and may be used to pay for his life.
"Then you can't just lend them the food. They won't pay it back!" George was still aggrieved.
Luo Mo waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I have my own sense of discretion."
Several people heard the master's words. Although they were angry, they had to obey Luo Mo's order.
So under the watchful eyes of the farmers, Baron Hansen directed his men to load the grain into the truck bit by bit, and then drove away.
The serfs in Hansen Manor also came to help, looking very happy, as if today was a grand festival.
Until night, the atmosphere in Saldin Manor was still very depressing. The dealers were almost injured internally because they were so angry that they had no intention of falling asleep. They had to gather together to play cards and drink, cursing Baron Hansen constantly.
Some people knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly to the God of the Wilderness, hoping that Baron Hansen would die suddenly and his whole family would die soon.
Inside the castle, Romo did not fall asleep.
He wore a light black leather armor, a black linen turban and a mask, with only two eyes exposed.
One after another, he hid the blood fang dagger, quicklime and spare daggers on his body. Then he wrapped the Qingshuang sword in black cloth and carried it behind his back.
After doing this, Romo slowly climbed down from the south side of the castle, and under the cover of night, quietly headed towards Hansen Manor.
