Chapter two hundred and twenty nine
At the end of May, the guests who had just finished giving gifts to congratulate him, and the storm of attacking Baron Bazel, the "bǎngjià" of Ryan Manor began to blow into the Baron Corner of the Valley.
However, the storm was not as violent as everyone in the valley was worried.
First, the "slow-responsive" Tignets County sent a coordinated team headed by the county magistrate Sir Jerry, the personal bodyguard of the county magistrate Viscount Pierre, to the valley.
Yat still maintained enough respect for Viscount Pierre, so when Sir Jerry and his party arrived in the valley, Yat and his confidants invited Jerry and allowed Jerry to visit the dying Bazel in the prison of Wood Fort.
Respect is respect, when Jerry conveyed Viscount Pier's intention to quell this "dispute among lords", Yat refuted sternly on the spot, insisting that he faithfully fulfilled the duties entrusted to the patrol officers by the palace, cleared up the bandits and maintained the county's order. Bazer's arrest was not a dispute between the lords, but because Bazer colluded with bandits in the county to rob the past business trips and harmed the civilians in the county. Moreover, Yat threatened that he had already grasped all the evidence of Bazer's crimes and was waiting to be sent to the palace.
How much difference is between the two statements "Lord dispute" and "Suppressing bandits and Anmin"? Yat is firmly in his mind.
In the end, Jerry and his party who came to mediate had to eat and drink in the valley for a day or two, and then left the valley with Yat's tough attitude...
Then the third day after Jerry and his party left the valley, several housekeepers and managers from Baron Bazer's territory and the large manor and several knights under him formed a "peace talks delegation" to Jushi Town. Jushi Town immediately sent troops to detain five or six people who came to the peace talks, and then quickly returned to the valley.
After receiving the news, Yat sent Odo and Angus to the Stone Town for him and met the "messengers".
Those guys were indeed here to negotiate with Yat. They hoped to redeem Baron Bazel who was detained by Yat with a ransom of 50,000 Finney.
Yat had long guessed the purpose of these people, so Odo and Angus, who went to negotiate, insisted that the court would punish Bazer severely for colluding with bandits, and also gave some of the evidence of Bazer collected by Yat to the "Peace Mission".
Of course, the second option was also given to the "commission", which was to buy the evidence of Yat's guilt with 200,000 Finney before the court decided on Jat's crime.
Of course, without evidence of crime, the patrol officer Yat will also release Baron Bazer...
Another week later, the palace sent a palace baron under the command of the security minister to come to the valley baron with the principle of "reserving affairs and calming people" in the palace.
Now the entire Burgundy is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and there are endless border territorial disputes and various internal struggles every day. How can we spend our energy to deal with the arrest of a young baron on the border who has no support and is annoying?
But after all, he was a vassal and nobleman. If the palace ignored it completely, it would be unreasonable, so this reluctant baron was arrested and sent to the southern border to deal with the matter.
Yat picked up the socializing and reception again. As soon as the palace baron arrived, Yat greeted him desperately with wine and food. His officers took turns to fight. Yat kept praising the palace baron and praised him.
At Yat's kind invitation, the palace barons and their entourage temporarily put down their mission of traveling south. During the day, they were guarded by the army and entered the mountains to chase bears, hunt deer, or catch shrimps, and at night, accompanied by Yat's personal entourage all night.
People who have been trapped in the palace of the capital have experienced these fun all year round. After a few days, the palace baron, who was still a little self-reliant in Shangbang, quickly put down his airs and became a close friend with Yat.
However, friendship is due to friendship, the problem must be solved. After having fun for three days, the palace baron finally began to deal with Bazer's affairs.
The palace baron first came to the prison in Mubao to visit and interrogate Bazel himself. Of course, Bazel refused to admit his crime of collusion and even pretending to be a bandit and robber, and blamed all the blame on the fat housekeeper of the Ryan Manor who had turned into mud and bones.
However, Yat had already obtained evidence that Bazer colluded with pretending to be a bandit, and dragged out the original subordinates of Bazer who were informed, and confessed to the palace baron one by one the crimes committed by Bazer and them.
The palace baron interrogated several people in succession and even killed two of Bazer's subordinates. The conclusions concluded that Bazer's crimes were confirmed.
On the fifth day after coming to the Baron of the Valley, the Baron of the Palace left the Valley with the conclusion that the guilt was true, and Bazer left the Valley with several witnesses. The final result of Bazer's disposal must be decided by the court, but the Baron of the Palace also hoped that Yat could release Bazer home first and wait for the results of the court's handling...
Of course, Yat could not have allowed the extremely hard-working palace barons to go empty-handed. After a trip south, the wallets around their waists were really bulging.
Shortly after the Baron sent by the palace, the steward of Baron Bazel's territory and several servants and guards also came to Jushi Town with a carriage carrying gold coins, silver coins, salt spices, silk, raw silk and other precious goods.
Because Bazel was too extravagant and too busy to sell it, and the time was too hasty to be sold, Bazel's baron territory only raised a "ransom" worth 90,000 Finney.
Yat barely took the money and goods, and then returned the half-dead Bazel to the "messenger" who came to redeem the people.
Executed? Sorry, the money was not enough and it was too late.
Bazer could only consider returning to his territory before trying to fill the appetite of the powerful palaces to relieve his guilt, but the punishment for reducing titles or even taking titles is probably inevitable.
Bazel was tortured to the point of being unhealthy when he left, but the murderous intent that appeared in the corner of his eyes when he looked at Yat was not reduced at all...
............
In the office room on the second floor of the Lord's Mansion of the Valley Wood Fort, Ron, Jafar and Stanley sat straight on the stool opposite Yat.
Yat swept the eyes of the three people and said coldly: "Bazel must die!"
The three of them quietly waited for Yat's following.
"The reason I let him go is because I don't want the bastard to die in my territory or be known to me to kill him. This will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and sooner or later our opponents will use this to deal with me."
"But I was bitten by killing the snake without killing it. Bazer is definitely a poisonous snake, so we must kill him."
"Now Bazel has left my territory, and it is time for him to go to hell."
"After careful consideration, I decided to choose you three to complete this task. Calling you here today is to make a proper plan together."
"I have two ideas. One is to let him die in his own territory. He usually harms one side of his enemies, so our suspicion will be smaller and will not cause too much trouble. The second idea is to let Bazer die in Wincheston Manor..."
............
On the third day of his release, Bazer had no time to recover from his injuries and was busy clearing himself of his guilt.
Bazer is a tyrannical and unvirtuous person, but he is not a fool. The most important thing now is not to take revenge, but to raise enough money to send it to the palace powerful people to handle it, in order to let the palace powerful people excuse themselves under the driving of gold cakes and silver coins.
However, Bazel always spent money like soil and lived a very luxurious life, so there was no much reserve in the vault. In addition, in order to redeem himself, he handed over all the valuables that were easy to sell and discounted to the inspector. Now Bazel has taken out money that does not fill the appetite of the palace's powerful people for a while.
However, Bazer thought of his "allies", and they also participated in these things...
............
Wincheston Manor, Bazer and Old Dean are arguing fiercely.
Bazel smashed the wine glass in his hand with a clang, enduring the pain all over his body and shouted: "Old bastard, you have robbed money a lot on weekdays. Now I need your help, but you tell me there is no money? I tell you, don't think about a hundred thousand Finneys a copper coin. If I really get angry, I will expose you directly. At that time, I will take the honors and cut the ground after the court punishes me at most. I am afraid that your Dean family will be destroyed!"
Old Dean was really worried that Bazer's mad dog would bite people, so he quickly stood up and helped Bazer to apologize repeatedly, "Sir Bazer, don't be angry, I absolutely have no intention of sitting there. We are allies, your safety is the safety of our Dean family. How could I not contribute money or effort?"
"Hmph! Spend money and effort? Why didn't I hear any movement in your Dean family when I was detained by the Mad Dog Land Surveyor? Are you really not afraid that I will poke you out?" Bazel stared at Old Dean with wide eyes.
Old Dean remained silent.
"Okay, don't delay time here. If the palace has set my guilt, it will be too late to operate. I have to rush to the palace in the past two days, and it will be more dangerous if I delay it for a day."
"Hurry up, one hundred thousand Finney!" Bazer reached out to Old Dean.
Old Dean looked up at Bazel for a while and explained, "Mr. Bazel, I am a businessman. It is impossible for a merchant to put money in the vault and rust. You suddenly asked me to take out a hundred thousand Finneys. How can I get it?"
"Don't talk nonsense, how much money can you take out now?"
Old Dean stretched out two fingers, "Twenty thousand Finneys, I only have 20,000 Finneys in my hand. I will find a way to raise the remaining money and I will send it to Besanson after I will give it to you."
Bazel untied the sword from his waist and slapped it on the table in front of Old Dean, threatening: "Fifty thousand Finney, prepare it for me before dark, otherwise I will take it myself!"
Old Dean shook his head and prepared money for Bazel...
............
In the evening, the sunset is at the end.
To the northeast of Wincheston Manor, on the way back, Bazer was the only way to go back. Three figures wearing armor and black scarves lurked in the bushes next to the road, and there were twelve bandits holding swords, spears, swords and axes on both sides of the road followed.
"Redoan, are these people absolutely reliable?" Ron asked Redoan, the bandit leader beside him.
"Little butler, don't worry, these people are my confidants and will definitely trust them." Redogan was very respectful to the young people beside him.
The masked young man nodded and amplified his tone slightly: "You can show me your hard work later. After the matter is done, my Master Dean will definitely not treat everyone badly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bandit who was touching the whistle ran back.
"Big leader, the fat sheep is here! Five riders."
"Everyone is ready!" The people lying beside the road lowered their bodies and sank into the bushes...
After a while, the sound of horse hooves stomping on the ground sounded to the southwest of the road.
Bazel was really anxious. He had to rush to Besanson with enough money as soon as possible. So after getting the money from the Dean family, he took a few guards to jump on his horse and left Wincheston Manor and embarked on the road back to his own manor.
He galloped on a horse, and he didn't care about his horse's strength at this moment.
The world under the afterglow of the sunset looked dim and gray, and Bazer did not notice that the carriage road ahead was covered with a thin layer of new soil.
"You guys keep up quickly, you must rush back to the manor tonight!" Bazel turned his head and shouted at the guards who were following behind him.
Several guards also kicked the horse hard on the belly, and the war horses neighed and chased after them.
After running dozens of steps, just as he was riding his horse through a bushes and weeds, the front of the horse suddenly stopped, instantly losing balance and losing weight. The horse fell into a deep pit...
Several horse-riding guards behind Bazel did not have time to stop when facing the sudden situation. Several war horses were tripped. One of them smashed into the deep pit and pressed on Bazel...
"Roar up! No survivor!" The young masked man raised the broadsword in his hand and rushed towards the chaotic Bazel Guards.
Two traps were destroyed. One of the three remaining guards fell off the horse and hit a stone in his head, and he suddenly fainted with blood.
As soon as the other two guards got up from the ground to draw swords to defend themselves, more than a dozen bandits with sharp blades in their hands and terrifying faces rushed out under the leadership of several masked men.
There was no suspense in the battle. The two guards were chopped into meat paste by the besieged people as soon as they raised their swords.
The young masked young man and the other two did not join the team battle. They walked directly to the edge of the deep pit. One of them raised the crossbow in his hand and nailed the poisonous crossbow arrow into the chest and back of a guard. The guard who was caught in the arrow struggled for a while, then foamed at the mouth and died.
"Let me go~ let me go~ I have money! Give you money~" Bazel, who was seriously injured by falling and pressing twice, kept begging, and he stretched his hands against his war horse, hoping to climb out from under the war horse.
But the war horse was frightened and kept twisting and struggling in the deep pit, constantly crushing Bazer's thighs, causing Bazer to howl.
The masked man who shot the guard to death put the poisonous crossbow arrow into the trough of the hand crossbow arrow, pulled the bow and inserted it into the suspension, then pointed it at Bazer's head, and said coldly: "Your money is from my Dean family, you don't have to get it for me."
After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense, pulled the crossbow suspension machine and nailed the crossbow arrow into Bazer's eyes...
Looking at Bazer's masked howling pain, the masked man holding a crossbow was full of satisfaction of revenge...
The bandits jumped into the pit, found the bulging wallet with gold cakes and silver coins, and handed them to the three masked men, and then all focused their eyes on the young masked man known as the "Young Butler".
The young masked man weighed the purse in his hand and said to a group of gangsters with bright eyes: "This purse must be returned to Master Dean, and the rest belongs to you!"
More than a dozen bandits rushed towards the corpses and began to plunder...
The Bazel guard, who had fallen by the stone, had his head bloody from the stone, closed his eyes and lay motionless on the ground, like a corpse, let the bandits plunder him.
"Guys, withdraw!" The young masked man said to the bandits, and then walked to the guard with blood on his face.
A bandit pointed to the "corpse" crawling on the ground, "Young housekeeper, dead."
