Succubus' Manor

At dawn, people finally saw the mess. After the house collapsed, another night of snow fell, and many house wreckage was buried, leaving only a roof or a standing pillar.

Some people started to get scared, some people started to despair, and Chi Yan could even hear someone's suppressed sobbing.

The royal guards and people from the Holy Court finally came out after dawn.

But they were not welcomed by the civilians, who all looked at them with strange and resentful eyes.

Without Chi Yan, common people would not have such an attitude. In the past, when they suffered from disasters, the royal family and the Holy Court ignored them, and they would not feel that there was anything wrong with them. They only thought that they were unlucky.

But now, after a whole night of rescue, their mentality has changed——

The lord of Stettin has sent his people to save people, how about you?

Those soldiers have been in the snow all night, with their legs buried in the snow, how about you?

You were not there when it was the coldest and most desperate, so what is the use of you coming out now?

A holy servant was about to help a woman, but was suddenly hit by a snowball behind him.

The snowball thrower hid in the crowd and shouted: "What are you doing here! What were you doing last night!"

This question was like a scoop of cold water poured into a hot oil pan, and people responded with cursing.

"Where are you when we are dying?"

"Where were you when my mother was pinned down and about to be buried in the snow?!"

"roll!!"

"Get out!!"

The holy attendant had never been treated like this before. His face was flushed with anger. People in high positions, after staying there for a long time, really thought that they were not ordinary people, as if he was really above everyone, with a majestic appearance Not allowed to be touched by others, he said angrily: "You fools! Didn't the Holy Court prepare hot soup for you? Just because you were not allowed to enter the Holy Court? You are so greedy, greedy think that all benefits It's all justified!"

Once the words are spoken, they can never be taken back.

The civilians went crazy: "You fart! What hot soup is there! How many mouthfuls of hot soup are there? How many people got it?!"

"Are we greedy? How much money do I give to the Holy Court every year? Last year I was the most devout saint said by the Holy Court! Am I greedy? Am I greedy??!"

"The Holy Court took our money, but didn't reach out when we were dying?"

Someone in the crowd yelled: "They're just cheating us of our money! They don't care about us while we're alive, and they don't care about us when we're dead. They're liars! They're all liars!"

"fraud!"

"kill him!!"

"Damn him!!"

The extremely angry people ran towards the holy waiter, the holy waiter was so frightened that he turned around and ran back. He fell and ate shit, and what made him most desperate was that he sprained his ankle.

The holy servant turned back in horror, his pupils reflected a group of civilians rushing towards him, the civilians threw themselves on him, and the holy servant let out a miserable scream.

When the crowd dispersed and people regained their senses, the holy servant had become a corpse.

People start to regret, start to be afraid, and start to shirk their responsibilities.

"I didn't do it. I didn't touch him! I saw it. Old Hank did it."

"Obviously you did it, not me!"

"You cowards, what if you move your hands? Can the Holy Court kill us all?"

"That is, if the Holy Spirit really manifests, then none of us can escape."

At this moment, Chi Yan suddenly came out. He walked up to everyone with a calm expression on his face. He glanced around, and everyone he touched lowered their heads.

Chi Yan: "I know you didn't do it on purpose, you're just too scared."

The civilians quickly echoed: "Yes, we are just too scared..."

"Yes, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to teach him a lesson. I never thought he would die. I dare not kill anyone!"

……

Chi Yan: "The Holy Court did something wrong. If my people didn't arrive in time last night, you, or your parents and relatives, would all be corpses."

The civilians changed their subject: "That's right! Why should we regret it? What's so scary? It was the Holy Court who killed us first!"

"If it wasn't for the Holy Court not letting us in, we wouldn't have done this kind of thing, it's the Holy Court's fault!"

"It's the Holy Court's fault! We are right! He deserves to die!"

Chi Yan looked at these people expressionlessly. He didn't think they were hateful or ridiculous. They were the most ordinary people, the epitome of everyone.

"But you killed the holy servant." Chi Yan said, "You need to find someone to protect you. I suggest you go near the palace."

"is it okay?"

"...The queen doesn't seem to like Shengmin."

"Why doesn't she like Shengmin? Aren't we her people? Why doesn't she like it?"

"Why are we always involved in the affairs of the adults? I just want to earn money and buy more food to keep at home so that my family can have enough food."

Chi Yan left after finishing his last sentence.

Somebody among the civilians yelled, "The Holy Court and the royal family don't care about us! Only the lord of Stettin cares about us last night!"

"Yes! We follow him! He will definitely control us!"

"Follow up!"

The civilians threw off the corpse of the holy servant without even looking at it again. They followed Chi Yan's buttocks, trying to rush into the hotel - they had no house, no home, and needed a place to shelter from the wind and snow .

Chi Yan returned to the room, took off his coat, sat by the fireplace, and breathed a sigh of relief.

This is his best chance, he must seize it, he can't make a promise to the civilians right away, otherwise the civilians will really think he is a good person and will make more demands.

And he will never satisfy the excessive demands of the civilians, he will leave them alone, and it is best to go out when the civilians feel that he will not care about them.

The civilians stood outside the hotel door, they were not as confident as they were at the entrance of the holy courtyard, and they had to knock on the door.

Because they gave money to the Holy Court anyway, but this is the lord of Stettin, who has nothing to do with them, and has not received any benefits from them.

Moreover, commoners nowadays do not think that a lord should do anything for the common people. On the contrary, if a lord does not do bad things, does not steal the wives and children of the common people, and does not kill people at will, then he is a good lord.

Because Chi Yan was not a local and had never taken advantage of the common people, the common people did not have much confidence.

They waited in the cold wind for a while, feeling a little uncertain.

"The lord of Stettin doesn't care what we do?"

"The Holy Court doesn't care about us either. Did you hear what the holy servant said just now? They said we are greedy people, but they took so much money from us, maybe his clothes are made of the money we gave him." worn on the body."

"Will the royal family...will control us?"

"What do you care? You don't know what the royal family is like? They don't care about us. Are ordinary people human in their eyes?"

The more the civilians waited, the more uncertain they felt. They looked at each other blankly, but now the lord of Stettin is their last straw, leave here?Who else can I ask?They are all people who have no relatives to go to in the holy courtyard.

Even if some people have relatives to go to, but they have no money and go to relatives' homes, will relatives be willing to support them for nothing?

After hanging them out for a long time, Chi Yan finally walked out of the hotel gate in the afternoon.

The civilians were already disheartened at this time, and they never thought that Chi Yan would come out again.

But this time it was not Chi Yan who spoke, but Ryan.

Ryan stood one step behind Chi Yan, and shouted to the civilians waiting outside the door: "For those who are homeless, the lord will arrange a place for you to live in, but it's just a place to live. If you want to live in a big house, you can live in it." If you enjoy it, you can leave now, and someone who stays will take you away, and the lord will also arrange work for you, if you don’t want to work, you will have food, and you can leave now.”

After speaking, Ryan paused for a while, waiting for the civilians to respond.

Not a single civilian left—but anyone who had a way out would not be able to stay now.

Ryan: "The ones left are all those who are willing to listen to the lord, aren't they?"

The civilians quickly shouted yes.

Ryan also added a few words himself: "The lord is not obliged to take care of you, just to help you because of your pity, and you should know it yourself."

Chi Yan didn't stop Ryan from saying that either, and the servant led him away when everything he had to say had been said.

When Chi Yan bought houses before, he bought them on the edge of the city, just like the big houses specially designed to help the poor. They were all the houses of rich households, but they fell into disrepair for a long time. After the rich households moved away, no one lived there. After all, the poor bought Excuse me, the rich who buy dilapidated houses?Relying on his friendship with the nobles, Chi Yan easily bought the house at a low price.

These houses have three floors. There are many small rooms on the first floor, all of which are for servants, and the second floor is for the master. The rooms are large, and one room can accommodate more than ten people.

The third floor is the attic, which can accommodate seven or eight people after tidying up.

A house can hold hundreds of people, and it can also leave room for activities such as the hall.

The house has also been simply repaired, the holes have been mended, and all the things that should be thrown away have been thrown away. Although it is still old, the shelves are here, which can be considered luxurious.

Three houses housed 500 people, and some people who were affected by the disaster were housed in slums before, and now they are unwilling to leave the slums.

If these people are now counted as Chi Yan's power in the holy city, then Chi Yan's power now has more than 300 people.

It doesn't look like much, but there are actually a lot, because these people are "demonstrators" and "benchmarks" for everyone to see.

It is to show more civilians that the lord of Stettin will take care of those who are ignored by the Holy Court and the royal family. As long as we follow the lord of Stettin, he will give us benefits.

And since he is so kind, he must be bullied better.

As long as people gather around him and the people support him, everything can be decided.

The guards of the royal family and the clergy of the holy house will become the background wall to set off him, and become the "bad guy" to set off his good guy.
