Succubus' Manor

There are many internal and external troubles in the Holy City now, and there are many more slaves on the streets. Just like last year, the slave owners couldn't afford to support them, and they didn't want to be buried after starving to death, so they just threw the slaves out.

There are still many civilians who have no source of income, are poor, and become homeless. There will always be rich people who are robbed on the street, and the rich dare not go out—after all, no matter how many servants you bring, the number will be crushed by civilians and slaves It is impossible for them to go to the queen to borrow guards.

Even though the weather is severe and cold, the streets are full of people. The more prosperous places used to be, the more people there are now.

Almost all the guards who used to patrol the city are now defending against the Flanders, and no one cares about the security of the city.

Chi Yan spent some more food and bought a house with a relatively remote location but a lot of space, which accommodated some slaves and homeless people who were driven out by the slave owners.

Some vagrants have their own groups, and they would rather find ways to rob and rob them by begging than to go to Chi Yan to get a couple of meals.

Chi Yan didn't force these people, if he really brought these people back, he would be the one who had a headache.

The queen hasn't asked Chi Yan for help yet, maybe because she doesn't think the situation is serious, or she thinks the same as Chi Yan.

As long as she dragged on, the Flanders would definitely be the first to retreat.

"So, His Majesty wants to kill Benson now?" Chi Yan asked the people sitting beside him.

This person is a minister personally appointed by the queen, and he was bought by Chi Yan with money. If you have money, you can make ghosts go through the mill, and you can see how much money you can get for a lifetime when you work for the queen, but every sum of money Chi Yan spends, They are all irresistible, sugar and wine seem to be free of money, and soft and fluffy quilts can be obtained without any effort.

Under Chi Yan's sugar-coated shells, the few people close to the queen all fell.

The only Jastors who didn't fall - it was his people in the first place.

The minister hurriedly said: "The queen asked us to find a way to dismiss the servants around Duke Benson tomorrow night, and then she will let a slave in."

A slave's life is worthless. After Benson died, she killed the slave again. She had no proof of death and avenged Benson. Even if people had doubts in their hearts, at least she stood still. There was no evidence. It is rootless duckweed, which will soon disappear.

This was somewhat beyond Chi Yan's expectations: "Is there any reason why the queen must kill Benson?"

After all, in his opinion, it is better for Benson to be alive than dead. With such a person in the holy city, it is very convenient to ask for things from Benson's territory. After all, the sons of Benson who stayed in the territory are all filial sons Well, his father raised his sons as loyal dogs, and the disobedient and disloyal son died long ago.

The surviving son was terrified of this father to the bone.

If Benson was dead, his sons would probably be the first to jump up and cheer.

The minister looked around and said in a low voice, "My lord, Duke Benson sent one hundred thousand soldiers from his territory."

Chi Yan blinked, a little surprised: "One hundred thousand?"

The minister nodded: "At least one hundred thousand."

Chi Yan understood now, and he smiled at the minister: "Thank you for your hard work, is there anything else going on recently?"

The minister shook his head, and Chi Yan said to Ryan: "Ask them to prepare some cakes and meat floss for Jock, and add two cans of sesame sugar and honey."

Ryan led the order, of course, it is impossible to just prepare these things for the other party. Under the wooden box containing these things, there will be heavy gold.

Never have to worry about the depreciation of gold. The output of gold is the least, and it can be used everywhere. No matter how devalued copper and silver coins are, gold will not. It is a very safe "bribery" tool.

The minister left with a smile on his face, and before he left, he told Chi Yan that if there was any news in the future, he would come and tell Chi Yan as soon as possible, so as to live up to Chi Yan's generosity to him.

This is a man with greed written all over his face.

But Chi Yan doesn't hate him very much. Chi Yan believes that there are good people in this world who don't ask for anything in return. He also believes that there are bad people in this world who are born without sympathy and empathy and can hurt others without hesitation. But he believes even more , most people in this world are neither good nor bad.

They go with the flow and live with the situation. In other words, they go to which mountain to sing the song of which mountain, and the standard of good and evil will change accordingly.

Like the ministers who were bribed by him, their greed is actually the greed of most people, and no one can guarantee that they will not be indifferent when faced with huge interests.

Nothing to blame.

On the second day, the queen was finally ready. She asked people to dismiss the servants brought by Benson, and put a few slaves in.

Benson did not live to see his army.

The queen was outside the door at that time, she heard Benson meeting inside the door, heard him begging for mercy, and heard him calling her name, but she had no superfluous expression from the beginning to the end, serious and indifferent, with her back against the wall, a scene appeared in her mind Zhang has another face, with her father, her brother, and her husband, and now there is another person, her uncle.

She doesn't hate him, and even likes him a little bit. This uncle who has lived for power all his life is so similar to her. They really bleed the same blood.

It's a pity that he stood in front of her and became his hindrance, then he must die.

Until the things inside disappeared, the Queen started to take a step forward and said to Juster: "Let them clean up."

Just lowered his head: "Yes."

The queen looked at Juster, took her maid, and left the corridor.

It wasn't until after the queen left that Just let out a long breath. Now the queen is getting more and more powerful, like a tiger baring its fangs. It's rare for her to spend much time on a small person like him, and some people rush to her If he is willing to work for her, Juster, who is hard to distinguish between loyal and traitorous, is naturally abandoned and can only do odd jobs.

She kept him and let him see these things in order to fish out the people behind him.

Just laughed self-deprecatingly. He used to think that the queen was a fool who could be easily manipulated by him.

Only now did he realize how wrong he was. At that time, the queen was still the queen, and there was no one around her. To be precise, there was no one who could advise her and charge forward. Therefore, Jia, who stood behind her and was willing to rack her brains to come up with ideas for her, It was only Just that was so precious, but now it was different. Without one Just, she could still find another.

"Your Majesty really..." Juster thought for a while, and finally found a word to describe it, "Throw it away after you use it."

Juster could only let the male servants handle Benson's body. Benson died very quickly. He was grabbed by the slaves, held his limbs, and then cut his throat with a knife. His blood was all over the ground. Also, it will take some time to clean up. As for those slaves, they were originally here for rewards, but now, there is only one reward for them—death.

But they can't die now, they have to be imprisoned. Tomorrow the queen will announce the death of Duke Benson, and then hang these slaves.

Just looked at the slaves, who were still struggling and shouting: "The Queen asked us to do this!"

"You can't catch us! If we kill him, we should be free citizens, and the queen will reward us with gold!"

"No! Let me go! What are you going to do!"

"Damn it! Don't you even listen to the queen's orders?"

Looking at them, Just felt pitiful.

But he was powerless to stop it, and didn't want to stop it.

This is, after all, a royal business.

But this matter is not useless to Chi Yan, can the queen really control Benson's 5 troops?Who is the leading general and what kind of orders these soldiers are used to? She herself has only [-] soldiers. Even if Benson's soldiers are reduced by half and the number of both sides is equal, she may not win.

"My lord, everything has been taken care of." The servant walked to Juster and said respectfully.

After all, in the eyes of most of the palace's servants, Juster is still that handsome neighbor who is loved by the Queen.

Just certainly wouldn't say he wasn't.

He has long been used to the power of a fox pretending to be a tiger.

The most important thing is to have the king's favor. Even if you don't have it, you should make others feel that you have it.

There was once a king who had fourteen daughters, but only one survived, and the others died strangely.

Some died of starvation, some died of illness, and some fell into the well and drowned.

Only his favorite daughter survived in good health, and even the cemetery was chosen as the most marginal place in the royal cemetery.

Only with the favor of the king can we live well, and the kitchen will not skimp on food, charcoal or fabrics in winter.

After all, the people who live in the palace, among other things, are more talented than the other when they watch the dishes.

Give a little less to those who are not valued by the queen, and they can swallow a little for themselves.

As for whether the queen will know?

People who are not valued by the king don't even have much chance to see the king, let alone have the chance to speak to the king.

Just watched as the servants removed Benson's body.

Benson's death was too easy. A duke who was supposed to be domineering in his own territory and commanded an army of [-] came to the holy city and lived in the palace, but he died so easily at the hands of slaves. Ster lowered his head, he looked at his toes, and felt that all this was extremely ridiculous.

It is precisely because it is not true that reality appears more absurd.

The news of Benson's death spread quickly, and it was all the official version.

Benson died from the assassination of slaves. These slaves were from Flandu and were traitors of Flandu's army. It was precisely because of Benson's noble character that they targeted Benson and killed him.

The nobles living in the Holy City panicked. They didn't dare to leave any room this time. They gave all the valuable things at home to the Queen.

This is what the queen did not expect.

Is it a fortune?
