Chapter 354

The guy who opened his mouth is obviously one of the main figures in the opposition. Dewey vaguely remembers that this guy is a senior old fellow in the Rowling family, has a jazz title and owns a lot of land. As soon as his words came out, they immediately aroused the opposition of count Raymond's lineage.

"Nonsense! Who do you think is an outsider

"Is master Dewey an outsider!! You old bastard

"I think you have a ghost in your heart, otherwise why are you so afraid of master Dewey?"

The opposition did not show any weakness, and immediately some people began to yell:

"Who said he was not an outsider?"

"Yes! Ask him whether his name is Rudolph or Rowling now

"He has publicly left the family. Is there a fake?"

Just as they were about to quarrel again, Duwei suddenly stood up and suddenly pulled out the sword left by his father. Then he held it in both hands and cut it on the table!

Qiang!!!

The sword was nailed to the table, trembling and humming. All of them were quiet at once.

Du Wei's face is not happy not angry, so coldly looking at the guy who questioned himself, light way: "you say I'm an outsider?"

"You..." the man felt guilty for a while, but when he looked at his companion, he could not help but feel strong: "tulip Lord, now in your capacity, of course, you can no longer be regarded as a Luolin."

Well, what a Duke! Now it's the clan association! According to the imperial decree, no one can interfere in the internal affairs of the noble family, even the royal family. Even if you are favored by the royal family again, you can't be bossy in this family.

"Good, you're right." Dewey nodded: "legally, I'm not really a member of the Rowling family. But... "

All of a sudden, he laughed. He looked at the guy and said slowly, "but. I'm not sitting here today as a member of the Rowling family. I'm sitting here as the chief magician adviser to the future Lord of gabriellin! This kind of identity is OK, isn't it? "

"Mage... Mage Consultant..."

There's nothing more to say.

It's also a common practice for nobles to recruit magicians to work for themselves. However, the number of magicians is rare and precious. Whether you can recruit them or not is a matter of two. And if the solicitation to the words, often as if the arm. Listen to what you say, not to mention joining the clan meeting. Even if the nobles make any decisions, they always follow the advice of the magician.

"But you... Your identity... You are the Duke of the Empire..."

Dewey sneered: "which law of the Empire forbids the Duke to be a magician's adviser to the count? I'd like to. Does it have anything to do with you? "

When he said this, his palm was always on the hilt of the sword.

Finally, the opposition guys looked at each other for a few minutes and said nothing.

"Well. Now that everyone has no opinion, let's start to elect the clan leader. " Dewey sat down again. "When I came in, it seemed that people were arguing about something, right?"

Next to him, Raymond's lineage immediately said in a loud voice, "young master, we think young master Gabriel should be the patriarch, but these guys are against it."

Dewey took a look at his brother and said with a smile, "Oh, what's the reason for objection?"

The opposition immediately had a big voice: "we think master Gabriel is naturally qualified to be the patriarch. But he's still too young, according to imperial law. Until he was 15 years old, he could not even inherit the title or hold any official position. There were so many vast land properties, so many lands and so many things of the Rowling family. Master Gabriel is too young after all. How can we handle it? Of course, we dare not oppose master Gabriel. After all, he is the heir to the Earl's title... But we think that we should first deduce a "surrogate patriarch", even if it is a few years of temporary transition. In the past few years, he has been in charge of the family affairs for the time being. In a few years, when master Gabriel comes of age, he will be invited to succeed him. "

Raymond's lineage here, left someone yelled: "in a few years! Joke! After a few years, God knows how much corruption this family real estate has been engulfed by you!! You guys... "

Before he finished, Dewey waved his hand to him. Then Dewey nodded, looked at the guy who was talking, and suddenly said with a smile, "well, that's right, that's right, that's reasonable!" Then he turned to his brother and said, "Gabriel, they say you are too young to be a patriarch. What do you think?"

Gabriel immediately said, "I think that's right." The boy stood up and looked at the crowd sincerely: "after all, I'm only eleven years old. At such a young age, I really can't bear the responsibility of a family. I don't think I'm suitable to take on the heavy responsibility right now. Well, since everyone thinks that we should find someone to help me, I think we can. "

The opposition quickly added: "it has to be the Rowling family! Outsiders can't step in! "

"Oh... So, is there a candidate?" Dewey asked, as if to understate.

Those who are against you look at me and I look at you. They all feel strange. They just feel that the two brothers seem to agree too easily. It's hard to avoid making people feel uneasy.

But, to this point, there is no room for retreat!

When you think of the fertile plain of Lorraine, the huge family businesses that are close to astronomical figures... Although this tulip Duke is a bit tricky. Fortunately, he is already an outsider. And... He can't stay in the Lorraine plain all his life! He always left Rowling for the northwest. At that time, the two places are far away. Where does he have time to take care of them? And the family business of the vast land is a hot topic

"We have selected several highly respected candidates in the family. You can vote! This is the fairest way Someone in the opposition called out.

Dewey looks at these greedy guys... Hum, if I didn't bring the amnesty, you idiots would still be at home! Now you want to take advantage of it?

He sneered: "in this case, please name the candidates. Let's talk it over. "

Soon, the opposition elected two men, one was the Jazz who had just cried the loudest, and the other was an old man with white hair. Dewey knew this guy, who was also a big landlord in the plain of Lorraine, an old man in the collateral line of the Lorraine family, and had a life-long Baron title.

"In his early years, sir Dirk was the commander of the family's local private army. We think he can come forward to help master Gabriel run the family's private army. And Baron Sean, he is an excellent financial master, he can help master Gabriel deal with government affairs and finance Someone in the opposition called out.

"Sir Decker, Baron Sean?" Dewey looks at these two guys, but it's Baron Sean. The old man looks calm, but... He's a good money man? Joke! Dewey couldn't help laughing... It's not like I haven't lived in the Lorraine plain! Haven't I heard of this old guy?

What financial master! This old guy is a usurer at all. Is this also a financial expert?

"Are you two the chosen ones?" Dewey looked at the two, the usurer, and seemed to smile politely at himself. But it was Sir Dirk, because he spoke loudly to himself when he came in. He was a very arrogant guy, and he dared to stare at himself.

Dewey turned to his brother and said, "Gabriel. What do you think of these two candidates? "

Gabriel laughed and blinked. "I don't mind."

Count Raymond's clans, who had to fight for it, were stunned when the young master spoke. But then we looked at the eyes of the two brothers. On the heart of the faint understand, there must be something below, everyone's face showed a smile.

Although there are two groups in the clan, Raymond and the opposition, in terms of strength, they all quit the political core circle of the imperial capital after the failure of the imperial capital coup. Their abilities and talents are far higher than those of the opposition... After all. In fact, these opposition groups were originally aborigines in the Lorraine plain, but most of them were just local wealth owners. All along, it was Raymond's family that got the upper hand. It is only after the coup that the Raymond faction suffered more losses, and the strength comparison between the two sides changed.

But from the point of view, or political struggle... No matter from any aspect, count Raymond left behind these lineages. Can be regarded as the elite members of the family. And the opposition... In their view, are just some local rich people in the countryside.

"Well. Dear brother, are you ok? That's good. We might as well sign a document. I think it's better to write everything in black and white. " Du Wei thought for a moment: "well, everyone draft an agreement. Everyone must sign on it and elect these two gentlemen as the assistant of the patriarch. Is the term of office... I think it will be four years. After four years, you can grow up."

Four years... After thinking about it, the opposition people can reap enough benefits in four years.

Soon, the agreement was written. Under Gabriel's deliberate silence, Raymond's family did not object. Then everyone signs the documents one by one

At this time, Dewey suddenly asked: "four-year term... Within the term, can you change people?"

"Of course not!" The opposition chanted in unison.

"Really not?" Dewey asked again.

"Absolutely not!" The opposition is adamant that an agreement is about to be reached. The two people elected by their own side are in charge of military and political power. Of course, they can't be replaced in four years. They have to make a lot of money! How can I change people on the way?

"But... If there is any special reason?" Dewey frowned: "can't you change people?"

"No matter what, no replacement is allowed!" The opposition insisted.

"All right." Dewey seemed to have compromised.

Soon, the agreement was written. All the people present, a total of 44 heads of the Rowling family, signed the agreement and made a poison oath, saying that no one should violate the agreement, even a word. in a word.

After all this, Dewey seemed to still have a warm face, not a bit depressed because of the defeat. Such an attitude has left the opposition at a loss

Does the tulip Duke care nothing about the wealth and property of the Rowlings?

Well, maybe so! After all, he is now a duke. He owns a provincial territory, and it's said that his business in the imperial capital is growing rapidly, and he has won the trust of the Regent. He really doesn't care about the property of the Rowling family.

Thinking of this, a group of local rich people were relieved.

Dewey was more gentle and gentlemanly. He even walked over in person, shaking hands with the two elected representatives and hugging them. There was no hostility at all.

"You two, I'll depend on you to help my brother. A lot of hard work, a lot of hard work. " Du Weidi's tone is just like a nobody. Let this sir Dirk and Baron Shawn. They were all caught off guard.

Dewey even helped Sir Dirk open the chair himself, then pointed to the top of the table, beside Gabriel, and said with a polite smile: "now that the two are different. Then you can't sit here any more. Please sit on the top. That's the identity of Dai clan head. "

Dirk's face was red. Although he felt something wrong in his heart, after all, the agreement had been signed. It was true in black and white. Everyone signed and swore. No matter how hard it is, even if we go to the imperial capital to fight a lawsuit in the future, it is reasonable for us.

In that case

He couldn't help feeling a little bit flustered. He nodded to Dewey. After a little polite, he showed a trace of greed and looked at the position on the long table

Sir Dirk took a deep breath, then stepped up

Suddenly

Plop!

"Ah ah"

Just as Sir Dirk stepped up. Suddenly a foot came out of the side. Just right in front of his feet, sir Dirk couldn't defend. Suddenly, he tripped and fell forward heavily. Immediately, he fell face down and the dog was gnawing mud. Fortunately, even if he shrank a little, otherwise, I'm afraid he would even knock out two teeth.

When he got up, he saw that it was no one else who had tripped him with his feet. It was the kind-hearted Duke of tulip.

"Your Highness! You Sir Dirk had an angry look on his face.

However, Dewey's original warm smile suddenly converged, and his face became extremely gloomy. He looked at Sir Dirk coldly with a straight face: "you stepped on me!"

Sir Dirk, step on you? You trip me! Confuse black and white... Looking at Dewey, is this guy angry and failed, but he did such boring things to vent his anger? Hum, children are children after all!

"It's you..." but at the moment, although Dirk fell down, he was a bit humiliated, but it was important. He didn't want to fall out with the little Duke on such a boring matter. After biting his teeth, he forced his anger and said, "well, I'm not careful when I walk. Please forgive me, Duke."

As he was about to leave, Dewey grabbed him by the shoulder, pulled him over and looked him coldly in the eye. "I said, you stepped on me."

"Well?" Dirk froze. Everybody froze.

Du Wei said slowly: "I don't care what the rules of the 'Rowlings' are! But I have my rules! In my Duke Rudolph's rules, this is an offence to me. No one can offend me without punishment! Sir Dirk, I want you to apologize to me immediately. Now, now, now, now, get down on the ground and clean my shoes for me! "

What... What?

Everyone was shocked.

But it's just stepping on your feet... Do you need to lie down in public and wipe your shoes for each other? After all, they are also aristocrats with status. If they do, can they still meet people in the future!

What's more, everyone can see clearly that it was Dewey who tripped the other side on purpose just now.

"This... Is this a malicious provocation to me?" Baron Decker was a little chilly.

"I don't like to repeat. Now, get down on your knees and clean my shoes." There was a chill in Dewey's eyes.

"If... If I refuse!" Baron Dirk was still holding on.

"Oh... You refuse." Dewey nodded, then he took a deep breath: "stepping on my feet is to offend me, offend me, offend the authority of tulip! Now, Baron Decker, as Duke of tulip, I make a solemn and noble plea to those who offend me

With that, Dewey suddenly took off his two white gloves and fell on each other's face: "I want to fight with you!"
