Dutata City can be regarded as half a port city after all. Its commerce is more developed than that of Innadali City. The circulation of newspapers is also large. There are several newspaper offices with different circulation cycles.

Today is not the date of publication of the newspaper that published the Viscountess statement, but the Viscountess' coachman came to deliver the big news with the money. The newspaper must have no reason to push the money away, and hastened to print a batch of headlines...

When it comes time for gentlemen to enjoy a healthy breakfast, this fast-printing letter appears on the left hand side of many respectable people.

Like Viscount O'Neill, there are not many respectable people who spit out milk or tea after seeing the headlines in the express newspaper...

"Is this woman crazy?"

This is the most perplexing question for many decent people this morning.

The vast majority of nobles are of course concerned about the interests of the married women. Of course, they are not only concerned about the married women themselves, but also the interests of the families where the married women are married. To be relatives with the poor.

There is nothing wrong with Viscount Darcy standing up for her married aunt and confronting Viscount O'Neill... If Viscount Darcy can help her aunt regain the O'Neill family property, and even allow her aunt's son to regain the title of Viscount, then Most Du Tata nobles would even be very keen to court such a cunning female nobleman.

But as soon as he came up, he publicly publicized it in the newspaper, threatened Viscount O'Neill to give a reply within three days, and even published an apology in the newspaper, otherwise he would send troops to declare war. What's wrong with this? !

Serious and decent people, even if there is a little conflict or dispute with each other, it will take ten and a half months to communicate, exchange, and determine the other party's bottom line; and then pick a good day to hold a dance and tea party to announce to the outside world Whether the two sides want to confront each other over this, never communicate with each other, or shake hands and make peace.

Threatening to send troops to declare war when you come up, this is not something that decent people can do at all!

Before noon, several aristocrats from Du Tata visited Viscount O'Neill and asked him if he was engaging in some eye-catching performance art.

Viscount O'Neill couldn't laugh or cry, he was not out of his mind, and deliberately let people publicize in the newspaper that he was at odds with his brother's widow and nephew.

Knowing from the mouth of Viscount O'Neill about the meeting with the Lady Innatrix... the nobles of Du Tata also felt that this little girl from the Darcy family was so arrogant that there was no bounds.

"Didn't the Darcy family just be wiped out by vampires? It hasn't been a year yet. Has that little girl recognized all their deacons? This is going to start a territorial war. She can manage the private affairs of the Darcy family. Soldiers?" A nobleman who had close contacts with Viscount O'Neill asked in disbelief.

Noble private soldiers are of course loyal to the noble family owner, and disloyal private soldiers and nobles will not be stupid enough to pay to continue to support them; the problem is that the private soldiers of the Darcy family were loyal to the old Viscount Darcy less than a year ago, and The little girl Qina Darcy is not the heir appointed by the old Viscount Darcy at all, will those private soldiers listen to her?

"Could it be that there are too many internal conflicts in their own family, and they are delusional to start a war to integrate people's hearts?" Another noble lady said contemptuously, "Really... hasn't the mother of this child taught her well, and wants others to help her?" If she dies, can she afford the price!"

"Wait." A nobleman thought of something, and said in horror, "Could it be... this little girl would not want to bring those undead of Innadris over to help her fight?! I heard that those undead It's available for hire!"

"Can she get the commission?" The lady who didn't like Qina's style was even more disgusted, "Phoenix of the Otis family paid for the entire fleet when he hired undead to fight."

As soon as these words came out, the Du Tata nobles present all nodded.

The wealth and wealth of the Otis family is so powerful that all the nobles present can only envy... Not to mention them, Lord Adler can only hold a candle to him.

Who made Dutata City's bad public security reputation? Most merchant ships on the Barcelo River don't even consider calling at Dutata. Even land merchants are reluctant to enter the city to do business unless they are in urgent need of supplies... Very melancholy!

The fact that Darcy's family was killed by vampires was once the focus of attention by the nobles of Du Tata City. After all, no one wants such a tragedy to happen to their own family. Of course, we must try our best to find out the situation to avoid stepping on Darcy in the footsteps of the family.

In other words... how much property the Darcy family has and how much income they earn every year, all the nobles present can understand seven or eight points—not to mention compared with the big nobles of the Otis family, the nobles present are more wealthy than others. Darcy's family has very few.

After all, Innadali was a place where horse bandits ran rampant a hundred years ago, and the three generations of Darcy's family have managed it, and it is impossible for them to be richer than the nobles present who have been in business for at least a dozen generations.

Qina Daxi, who came to the top due to the luck of the family's misfortune, let alone throwing a fleet, if she can embezzle thousands of gold coins, it must be considered her amazing skills.

"However... since this little girl has the confidence to come to Dutata City to show off her power, she might not have any confidence." The nobleman who is close to Viscount O'Neill said, "Qina Darcy is the one from Inadoli after all. The new lord puts him on the throne, O'Neill, if Charlie Rex is willing to lend his army of undead to this little girl on credit...then he will be in serious trouble."

Viscount O'Neill nodded gloomily.

This is also what worries him the most.

Charlie Rex, an illegitimate child who doesn't understand the rules of the aristocracy, lifts China Darcy to the top but doesn't support her, and looks like he doesn't care about her life... But who knows that kind of unruly illegitimate child Will he be easily persuaded by a soft and weak girl, and do stupid things that harm others and benefit himself as soon as his brain gets hot?

It is true that China Darcy has no beauty at all, but since she inherited the Darcy family, it is not difficult to get a few beautiful commoner women to bribe an illegitimate child who has never seen the world.

Not to mention that it is the autumn harvest period, and forcibly expropriating civilians to prepare for war will reduce the autumn tax of his own territory. Even if O'Neill is willing to bear the loss, he does not feel that he will be the opponent of those Tarantan undead!

O'Neill naturally knew the real reason why these nobles came to care about him - no one wanted to see Tarantan's undead appearing around Dutata City!

After weighing it over and over again, O'Neill could only sigh in humiliation, and said, "I'll visit the Countess Darcy later, after all, her aunt is my brother's widow, and her cousin is the one I watched growing up. Nephew, she misunderstood me for such an extreme behavior, I think I need to have a good talk with this relative from Innadris."

The nobles present breathed a sigh of relief, either explicitly or secretly.

This group of Du Tata nobles would never look down on the "lucky one" who has not been educated by a serious heir like China Darcy, but everyone is indeed very afraid of Charlie Rex, the lord of Innatrix, or , afraid of the undead Tarantan with great military exploits in the hands of Charlie Rex.

If it weren't for the existence of this group of undead, such a thing as an illegitimate child suddenly rising to a high position and becoming a great lord of a place, the Rhine Kingdom's large and small time review magazines, newspapers, and radio stations would have long ago put Rex himself and his biological My dear father sprayed a bloody head!

Viscount O'Neill, who decided to bear the humiliation, pinched his nose and fooled the matter in private, sent the guests away, prepared his car vigorously, and went to Hexagon Alley to visit China Darcy and his brother's widow and nephew.

On the way, Viscount O'Neill made plans to bleed some blood and cut some flesh, and send it to his brother, widow and nephew who are like beggars...

At the same time, Viscount O'Neill also gritted his teeth and calculated the follow-up revenge plan - when this level passed, and China Darcy rolled back to Innadori, he would immediately send someone to Innadori to investigate carefully. Darcy's relationship with Charlie Rex.

If Rochina did get on Charlie Rex's lap, he'd bear it and spend a little more time getting the cuts back from his brother's widow and nephew more stealthily and invisibly.

If Qina just pulls the tiger's skin to make a big banner... then this ignorant stinky bitch won't be able to live until the winter festival!

Viscount O'Neill, who had made all the plans and made preparations, entered Liujiao Lane in Nancheng District, which he would never come to, and was shut out...

China Darcy wasn't there at all!

Mrs. O'Neill and Coulson aren't home either!

Standing in the narrow, dirty alley, facing the closed rusty gate, Viscount O'Neill inhaled and exhaled repeatedly, but the veins on his forehead could not be suppressed.

Whether it's Qina or Yang Qiu, after meeting them once and making a convincing (that can be used to argue) excuse to start a war, they have no intention of wasting time on Viscount O'Neill.

The three days published in the newspaper are not at all the time for Viscount O’Neill to solve the problem, but for the militia, security team, contract workers, and operators in Westham, Yongwang Town, and Inadal City. When the large army of clerks departed from Innadri and rushed to Dutata City...

After all, players can only be used to siege cities and plunder land, and players cannot be expected to take over governance; Yang Qiu can't rush to act if there is no large army.

At this moment, when Viscount O'Neill was in a hurry to get angry, Qina, Mrs. O'Neill and Coulson were strolling along the beach of Barcelo River in the southeast of Du Tata City together with Yang Qiu and Zhao Zhenzhen.

This river beach is also a part of the slums of Du Tata City. There are many wooden shacks and grass shacks with mud walls, forming a village-like crowd gathering place.

Due to the flooding of the river, humid air, and the breeding of snakes and insects, the slums near the river beach are considered the worst living conditions in the entire slum... There is no romance of spring flowers facing the river, and some are just sheds full of mold The house, the reed mat roof that is extremely perishable or blown away by strong winds, needs to be replaced frequently, and the semi-wet clothes that seem to be soaked in water every day.

On the banks of the river with rock formations, many women wrapped in only two pieces of cloth stood barefoot in the water, scrubbing and washing tablecloths, carpets, bed sheets, quilt covers, clothes and other knitted fabrics brought out of the city; In the scorching sun, spread it on dense bushes or on big stones to dry.

Upstream of the open-air laundry area is a river beach densely covered with large and small stones and gravel, and dried fish, shrimp and other catches are dried on mats woven with reeds and rushes.

Farther away, there are many young and middle-aged men with some cloth strips tied around their waists to hide their ugliness. They paddled small rickety fishing boats, shuttled among the reeds, and cast nets in the shallow waters of the Barcelo River. .

Compared with the urban area of ​​Dutata City, which is less than two kilometers away, has stone pavement, neat masonry structures, street lights, and horse-drawn carriages and pneumatic vehicles passing by from time to time... This is like another world, primitive It is a world where the environment is poor, poor, and lacking in supplies so much that one wonders if this is a corner of civilized society.

Qina watched this scene in a daze.

She grew up in the closed Darcy's mansion, and until all the people in the mansion who were qualified to restrict her travel were killed by vampires, she had the opportunity to see the world beyond Darcy's mansion and the rural farm.

Even on a farm in the countryside... Qina couldn't see serfs, after all, serfs were not qualified to set foot in the big house where the master's young lady lived.

The slums in Dutata City were the first time Qina had seen them with her own eyes. They were different from the real low-level civilians in the territories ruled by the undead.

"...So these are the poor people." Qina couldn't help murmuring.

"Qina, what do you think the poor are like?" Yang Qiu said with a smile.

Coulson suddenly turned his head to look at Yang Qiu, surprised why the housekeeper didn't use honorifics.

"What I read in books and newspapers, and the poor people I heard from the deacons and maids, is not like this." Qina shook her head and said, "Everyone says that the poor are very lazy, and they always prefer to look at the fields. The weeds grow taller than wheat seedlings, and they lie under the trees to sleep, and all their cleverness is used to avoid work, and the poorer they are, the lazier they are, and the lazier they are, the poorer they are.”

"Then what do you see the poor look like now?" Yang Qiu asked again.

Qina silently stared at the washerwomen struggling to clean the tablecloth not far away for a while, and then turned her gaze further away to the boats shuttled among the reeds.

She thought again... when the carriage passed through the slums, she saw those sitting on the side of the road, sitting under the earth wall, sitting in the low shed, in the narrow yard, doing mending with their hands, Residents of the slums weaving bamboo chips, coiling clay pots, weaving carpets, spinning twine, shaking looms, using primitive processing tools to make leather goods, and repairing wheels and tires.

And what I saw when I went out of the city, carrying sacks next to the garbage mountain that was transported out of the city, carefully picking out iron sheets and glass bottles, picking out cinders from coal ash, and carefully rummaging through pieces of paper from dirt The elderly and children sorted out.

"They are very hardworking." Qina said with certainty.
