Good-looking, not allowed to farm

(One)

After meeting once at the Wangcheng Theater, Jamie soon had a good chat with Viscount Blount.

At this time, the viscount had put down all his guard and no longer deliberately kept a distance. He also invited him to come over for a chat and pass the boring time.

And because Jamie pretended not to understand the tax policy, Viscount Blount immediately volunteered to explain it to him.

When it comes time to explain, it is inevitable to express some of my own views.

However, no matter how stupid and shit his opinion is.

Jamie would put on a look of admiration, as if the person in front of him was a hero of the country, and every word he said was insightful.

Viscount Blunt got up in a high spirits.

He has never received such undivided attention and attention since he was born in the womb.As a result, the mood gradually became high, high-spirited, scolding Fang Qiu, sometimes commenting on the king's misbehavior, sometimes criticizing the cabinet ministers for their mediocrity, so and so, and so and so, spit out all the bragging words in one breath, He said it heartily!

He threw all his previous caution into the back of his mind.

When it was getting dark, when Jamie implicitly and euphemistically hinted that he wanted to invite him to sit in his room and have a cup of hot tea, he didn't hesitate at all, and happily followed.

"Ha, this little boy is so fucking good at it!"

The thieves next to him pretending to be Jamie's entourage were all dumbfounded and admired in their hearts.

Although they couldn't figure out how Jamie did it.

Because, if they were to make the plan of "bringing out the Viscount", most likely they would take the sexy and provocative route and hook up with people as soon as they came up.

But now...

"The eyes of these nobles are so strange!"

The thieves couldn't help but think in their hearts inexplicably: "Although Jamie looks good, but today's dress doesn't reveal his breasts or buttocks. On the contrary, he's dressed tightly, wearing a hat and a veil. How did you decide that this is a beautiful woman who chats so happily with her and who can leave as soon as she is called?"

But whatever the trick is, it doesn't matter.

Because as soon as Viscount Blunt entered the room above Jamie, he was knocked to the ground by Cyclopes who had been ambushing in the room for a long time, and then he gagged first, and then , and tied up all the limbs firmly with strong hemp rope.

It wasn't until very late that the guards realized that Lord Viscount Blount had not returned.

They hurried upstairs, found the hotel owner, and opened the door of Jamie's room...

The house was already empty.

Whether it was Viscount Blunt or the noble lady just now, they all disappeared without a trace.

There was only a note left on the table.

It simply says:

[If the 20 pounds cannot be sent to xx before [-]:[-] pm tomorrow...]

[That's a pity, Viscount Blunt probably won't survive. ]

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they really met a robber!

Then everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.Some said to call the police immediately; .

At this time, besides Viscount Blount, there was also a very old butler in the team.

The old butler has worked in Blount's family for almost his whole life. His wealth, life, honor and disgrace are all entrusted to the Blount family. Moreover, he watched the Viscount Blount grow up, and he has a father-son relationship with the Viscount. Friendship...

Therefore, when he first heard about it, he fainted in a hurry.

After finally waking up, without any hesitation, he immediately ordered the people to raise money.

Just because the old butler had calculated in his heart:

Money is gone.

At worst, think of a name, go back and squeeze those untouchables again, and you can always earn it back after a long time;

But if Lord Viscount is gone.

According to the current national law, since the Blunt family has no other heirs, the government has the right to take everything away.

By then, the Blount family would really be finished.

However, it is different from the panic at this end.

In the bandit group's temporary den, there was laughter and laughter.

Cyclopes and a few thieves gathered in a corner to play cards and drink.

In the middle of the room, two thieves were wrestling topless. Some people around cheered and applauded. They got excited and pretended to throw money at them.

The poor Viscount Blount was left in the corner like a bag of garbage, and no one paid attention to him.

He was lying on the cold floor, his hands and feet were numb, he was afraid and hungry, and he kept guessing what the thieves would do with him: "Maybe they will let me go after taking the money? It would be best if that's the case." , but maybe...they don't want to let me go? Thieves are murderers, maybe they will kill me after taking the money... Maybe they will torture me before they die..."

Thinking of this, he seemed to have fallen into the ice cellar, almost desperate.

At this time, the 'noble girl' who had deceived him suddenly walked towards him, holding a bowl of water and a piece of bread in his hand.

Jamie actually doesn't have much affection for the viscount.

Because the viscount is obviously different from that fledgling fool Louis, his thinking has been fixed, and he can be regarded as a very mature nobleman.Usually this type of nobles used to regard commoners and nobles as two completely different creatures.

In their hearts, civilians are rough, ignorant, and humble, and are naturally available for exploitation and oppression; while nobles are elegant, intelligent, and noble.

Therefore, the nobles are the masters of the common people, and they want to lead them, conquer them, and urge them to work day and night to create value.

Viscount Blount received such an education since he was a child, and he didn't think there was anything wrong or cruel.

For example, people will whip cows and horses and urge them to work. At this time, do we have to consider the feelings of cows and horses?

Jamie had already seen it through in the previous chat.

But he feels that he has no qualifications to judge others, and he has no leisure to influence and educate anyone, and he has no idea of ​​standing in line (helping thieves fight nobles, or helping nobles fight thieves), so he only upholds the humanitarian spirit, Give the captives a meal.

Because it was troublesome to change clothes, he hadn't changed the women's clothes yet.

Moreover, he secretly had this idea in his heart: "Women's clothing is also a kind of disguise. If you keep dressing up like this, if you can get rid of these thieves and switch back to men's clothing one day, you may be less troublesome and avoid being recognized by some people." .”

Therefore, until now, Viscount Blount has been kept in the dark, completely unaware that he lied to his beautiful woman, and turned out to be male.

Moreover, because of his affection for 'her', he was highly rated in the previous exchange.

Now in a predicament, and being ignored by all the thieves, it is the time when I feel extremely scared...

I saw 'she' walking slowly through a group of vicious and cruel thieves like a goddess of salvation, taking care of herself with water. 'There are difficulties.

So when Jamie removed the rag that was gagging him...

The viscount did not go to drink water first, but stared at him blankly, and asked, "Is Jessica your real name?"

Jamie ignored him.

Lord Viscount has been staring at 'her' obsessively, even holding the bowl in his hand and drinking a few sips of water, without moving his eyes away.

After a while, he asked anxiously and pitifully, "What are you going to do with me? Kill me?"

Jamie couldn't help but think of that hapless Louis.

So he softened his heart a little, and replied uncertainly: "After getting the money, it shouldn't happen."

Perhaps in order to relieve the tension and fear in his heart, Viscount Blount began to mutter again.

He asked Jamie's real identity, suspecting that Jamie was a wandering noble lady, but unfortunately strayed into the den of thieves.It is speculated that 'she' was coerced by the robbers to do these things, said that she could understand the difficulties of 'her', expressed deep sympathy for 'her', and was willing to forgive 'her' for her previous deception...

Jamie heard it funny, but thought it was a little funny, so he was not in a hurry to stop him, and sat aside and listened quietly for a while.

Seeing this, Viscount Blunt became more and more convinced of his guess.

He decided that 'she' was a good person in this den of thieves, so he racked his brains to get 'her' to help him, and immediately said a series of words: "You can help me talk to your leader later... You should also know that I have a lot of guards along the way, and it is not very easy to deal with. Otherwise, you will not engage in any kidnapping, I am afraid that you will come up and snatch it directly."

"But you don't know..."

"I'm the only one left in Blount's house. Now, I'm not here, and the housekeeper should be the one who decides."

"My old housekeeper is very loyal to our family."

"If I didn't die and only lost money, he would think that there is still hope in the future with me anyway, so he wouldn't care too much about it; but if I died, there would be no one in the Blunt family. My loyal The old butler is hopeless. At this time, he will definitely bring his guards and fight with you to avenge me."

"Since you are asking for money..."

"At that time, just wait until you get the money and go yourself. Why do you have to kill me and end up fighting to the death?"

After hearing such a long list, Jamie actually didn't feel anything.

He didn't care about the life and death of the robbers at all, and he didn't have any sympathy for the nobles. However, after all, he had lived in a peaceful and legal society, and he couldn't see a living person being killed for no reason, so he nodded and agreed: "I will talk to them later."

Viscount Blount looked at him gratefully, and for a while became affectionate again: "Thank you for your kindness, if I can survive this time..."

He put on an affectionate look and asked: "Do you want to leave these thieves? Come with me from now on? I, I am very willing to support you."

Jamie looked weird.

This is... imprisoned, not forgetting to pick up girls?

He stood up and stuffed the ball of rags back into the mouth of the viscount.

Then, he clapped his hands and said with a speechless smile, "Take care of me? Take care of yourself first!"

However, when he turned around and walked up to Cyclopes, trying to repeat what Viscount Blount said just now...

The sentence "If you know that I am dead, my loyal butler has no hope, and I will definitely bring my guards to fight with you" suddenly appeared in my mind and lingered for a long time.

At this point, Cyclopes tossed the last few cards, ending the hand.

Then, he raised his head suspiciously and asked, "What are you doing standing here? How much do you want to hit?"

Jamie came back to his senses.

But for some reason, he didn't fulfill his previous promise, and he didn't even mention what Viscount Blunt said. Instead, he smiled brightly at Cyclopes, sat beside him naturally, and joined in with a smile. During the game, he promised, "Okay, but I'm not very good at it. You can teach me."

Kukrops couldn't help but glanced at him suspiciously: "I always feel that you are calculating something."

Jamie pretended to be surprised: "What? Is it so obvious that I want to win your money?"

The thieves all laughed.

No one was suspicious.

(two)

Judian waited for a long time in the audience room of the palace before a servant trotted over, smiled respectfully with him and said, "Your Majesty happens to be busy with other things at the moment, look, please come back later to see me ?”

Judian couldn't help asking: "Is there someone else answering in front of His Majesty?"

The waiter only smiled awkwardly, but did not answer.

Judian then knew that no one was with the king.

The king just, just didn't want to see himself.

He couldn't help but took a deep breath, tried his best not to lose his composure, put on an amiable look, and sent the servant away, then turned around and walked outside the palace.

Afterwards, his performance was the same as before. He greeted those who should greet him, and those who didn’t want to talk to him continued to hold their heads up and ignored him. He didn’t show any negative emotions at all, and he didn’t show the slightest bit that he might fall out of favor with the king. Mark of.

It's just that these performances of strong support, after returning home, can no longer be maintained.

He walked back and forth anxiously: "Your Majesty, is it because Donna is annoying me?"

"I just don't know... Sigh, does he know about the matter of me persecuting Donna before? It's okay if he doesn't know, if he knows..."

Judian frowned, lowered her head in silence, and pondered over the matter again and again: "Well, Donna should be too embarrassed to speak out about the scandal in the family, and besides, she should also know that whether she lives or dies, her brother Levine still has to count on me."

"You don't have to worry too much about this. It's just that her death has left me with a big problem... If Your Majesty sees me in the future, I'm afraid he will immediately think of her, and then think of her death... It's a very bad situation for me."

"Damn, damn, really damn! No wonder women are said to be prone to bad things! Sure enough, this woman is really a good hand who doesn't help, and loves to cause trouble for others!"

But trouble is trouble.

Things should be resolved or resolved.

Judian refused to just admit defeat.

What's more, others may not allow him to admit defeat.

For so many years, relying on the king's favor, he has done a lot of things recklessly, and even made countless enemies in the court.

Not to mention others, only Duke Henry has always looked down on him the most.If he knew that he had fallen out of favor, he might be the first one to come over and step on him, and humiliate him severely.

Thinking of this, Judian gritted his teeth, his facial muscles twitched, and his eyeballs turned red with hatred.

He will never allow himself to fall into a situation where anyone can step on him, and he is eager to regain the king's favor.

Therefore, he made a decisive decision. On the one hand, he sent someone to quietly give a gift to the recently favored Mrs. Laureys, asking her to help blow pillow wind for him at the king's side; Find a sweetheart for the king.

Earl Hudgens asked him to invest in the play "Marian" before, but he didn't take it seriously.

Now, he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, but he took the initiative to come to the door and recommended himself to participate. In fact, he wanted to choose another stunning actress for the king by choosing the name of an actress!

Earl Hudgins is an old dude who has no ambitions and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. He is also happy to see a rich son join in.

It's just that when he occasionally sees Judian who is so immersed in fame, fortune and power, who is busy all day long and has no self, he will feel pity for him, and he can't help persuading him: "Son, why don't you choose actresses so much every day?" Are you not picky? Why don't we change our thinking and look at the male actors, and relax?"

Unexpectedly, Judian subconsciously replied: "Well, do you mean to introduce a handsome man to His Majesty? This is a way of thinking, and it is not impossible."

Lord Hudgins thought: "The son is hopeless."

On the other side, the time for the appointment to collect the ransom is approaching.

The thieves of Cyclopes are all ready to make a fortune.

Since the ransom has not been officially received, the hostages naturally cannot make mistakes.

Therefore, when they went out, two people had to be left to guard the Viscount Blount.

Originally, Kukrops wanted to keep Jamie, who had a low force value and was not very trusting in his heart.

But Jamie looked forward to recommending himself, and begged him enthusiastically: "What's the point of staying? It's so boring to stay here all day! You can take me with you, and let me see the world. Long experience. Speaking of which, since I joined you, I have never experienced such a big scene.”

"What a big scene this is!"

Many thieves were amused by his description.

But after getting along for a long time, they gradually regarded Jamie as one of their own, and when they saw that he wanted to go, they all helped intercede.

Kukrops thought about it, and felt that it was okay to bring one more person, so he simply waved his hand and agreed.

Jamie immediately packed up his things happily, looking like an excited child preparing to go out for an outing, so he couldn't help being laughed at by the thieves again.

At this time, the old butler of the Blount family had already made the decision, and quickly sold off a lot of luggage, barely enough to make up the 20 pounds in cash extorted by the robbers.

Then, he arrived at the appointed place early and waited anxiously for the robbers, hoping to avoid disaster and take Viscount Blount home smoothly.

In fact, kidnapping these days is different from robbery, and most of them have to be polite.

Just because if you tear up the ticket every time you take the money, after a long time, which fool is willing to pay?

This is tantamount to doing things to the extreme.

Therefore, coming and going is the way of long-term business, and the kidnappers are very aware of it.

Therefore, Blount's old butler didn't think too much, and didn't plan to do any extra tricks.

Even, because they were worried that there would be too many people, it aroused the ferocity and dissatisfaction of the robbers, and accidentally injured Lord Viscount...

He only brought a dozen or so guards this trip.

Coincidentally, there were not that many thieves in the Cyclopes band, and there were only a dozen or so in total who followed them all the way from the prison.

The two parties arrived at the agreed place.

In this way, stand on both sides and confront each other.

Jamie raised his head, looked left and right, and was overjoyed, thinking that this scene was really evenly matched!

If there is a fight and the respective teams work hard and don't let the water go, they will surely be able to fight for both sides and die together.

So, the thought in my heart was just around the corner.

He is determined to take a chance!

Strange to say.

Jamie has never felt that he is brave, but he is like a spring. Whenever he is suppressed to a certain extent, he can't help but rebound strongly, even if he takes a chestnut from the fire and takes desperate risks.

So, at this critical moment of confrontation between the two sides...

He stepped forward to introduce himself again very calmly, and his tone was quite nonchalant: "Cook, let me go to get the ransom, this seems to be quite fun."

Kukrops couldn't help giving him a weird look: "You've been quite active recently."

Jamie gave him a smiling face again, and said seriously: "I have thought it through thoroughly. Starting today, I want to officially start a new life."

Cyclopes heard that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.

The thieves next to him were booing again: "You should have figured it out a long time ago, you little boy." "We eat delicious food and drink spicy food together, what's wrong with being a thieves."

In this way, Kukrops' thinking was misled.

Besides, he really couldn't think of what else to do with a ransom, so he agreed to Jamie's request and sent him to get the ransom.

However, when Jamie received the ransom from the old butler...

He suddenly smiled and said thank you politely.

Then, he used the language that he had learned from Teacher Mei Li before, which he was not very proficient in, and would not be used often in daily life. It is said that only nobles would be willing to learn a few words, purely for pretense, half tentative, half Said expectantly: "The viscount is dead."

The thieves didn't know what he said, and only heard the first thank you, thinking that he was pretending to say thank you.

Once again, they laughed and laughed at how busy his little boy was, and then whispered to each other what they would do when they got their share of the money...

But the old butler who understood that sentence froze all of a sudden.

His wrinkled old face gradually distorted, and his expression gradually became ferocious. The flickering look in his eyes clearly showed murderous intent.

Seeing this, Jamie felt compelled.

He backed away pretending nothing had happened, turned around, and quickly walked towards the thieves with the ransom money in his hand.

During this process, he was still smiling, walking lightly, looking very happy, but in fact his body was already tense. As he walked forward slowly, he pricked up his ears, listening to the movement behind him with great vigilance.

Then, an old man's deep and hoarse voice sounded like thunder.

He shouted loudly: "Stop them for me, don't let any one go!"
