Chapter 5 Lord Rockefeller

The baron looked at the two people kindly.

"On Thursday, if I remember correctly, when I was still learning to walk in the castle yard, you were taking care of the flowers and plants."

"I never let any of the old Baron's favorite flowers die."

"Of course, you have always taken good care of the flowers and plants inside and outside the castle."

"Baron, you and your father and grandfather are good people."

The old woman Hela gave the old man a hand.

"Hela, I remember you. When I was a kid, I loved eating the snacks you made in the kitchen."

"Lord Baron, after our children quit working in the castle, they went to the city. They lived well at first, but later on, their lives became somewhat unsatisfactory."

"I know about this. They have tried to come back to work, but there are no vacancies in the castle for the time being."

"It's all because you refused to give them a job, so they hang out among drunkards every day!"

Hora pointed her finger at the Baron and shouted loudly.

The baron looked at her calmly. According to what Lockerbie said just now, several descendants of this family died in Lockerbie's tavern.

He waited until Hela calmed down before speaking.

"On Thursday, it should be clear to you that I did not force them to resign from their jobs in the castle, nor did I promise to keep their positions for them when they left.

That year, many people left the castle and those manors. The castle was like a big garbage dump. The larch tree that had the same lifespan as the castle also fell down after being eaten by insects at that time, and killed a servant.

Hundreds of cattle, sheep and horses die in the barns every day due to lack of care. Do you know this?"

Thursday nodded reluctantly. A large part of his son's responsibility was to take care of the larch tree.

Many of those who died in the tavern left their jobs and left the castle during that time.

Not many of them thought that the baron had anything to do with what happened in the tavern.

They all came here in a fit of enthusiasm under the instigation of Lockerbie.

"Do you think I should let the castle turn into a garbage dump, let the cattle and sheep in the pasture starve to death, or let the crop fields turn into an overgrown wilderness, all for the sake of the silent, abandoned people?

Those who leave their jobs keep their jobs!”

Hela lowered her head and was speechless.

"I will not fire anyone in the manor or castle just to accommodate those soldiers.

But I can’t fire those helpless retired soldiers just to take care of those who left their jobs.”

Thursday quickly reached out and held his wife's hand: "Lord Baron, we just lost four children, please forgive her impulsiveness!

The baron looked at Thursday with sympathy.

"Every life is precious. With so many people dead, it is natural that the matter cannot be left alone. I will also send people to investigate this matter. After I return, I immediately write to the Secretary of the Interior and ask him to send capable police detectives to investigate this matter.

Something, trust me, no matter who does this, I will get to the bottom of it."

"We believe Lord Baron"

"Yes, it's all those damn capitalists and factory owners who tricked people into moving to the city and left them unemployed. How can you blame the Baron!"

Some townspeople spoke out to express their support for the baron.

Lockerbie felt a little hot on the back of his head.

Baron Huntington stretched out his hands to signal the townspeople who were talking indiscriminately to stop.

"I have a plan recently. If this plan is successfully completed, there will be many more jobs and everyone will have a well-paying job."

"Really, Lord Baron, what you said is true."

While the conversation was going on under the castle, two servants who rushed out of the wooden house finally came to the hill.

The journey went very smoothly and they did not encounter any trouble.

It only takes half an hour from the hills to the castle, and they can return to the castle.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they were finally out of danger.

But when they rushed down the hills and passed a bush.

"Hoo, ho!" Two evil winds rushed towards them with a disgusting bloody smell.

The evil wind was so fast that they didn't even have time to pull the trigger.

His head was hit hard by a huge claw.

"Bang, bang, click, click"

Two claws smashed the two men and horses together into a ball of minced meat.

If one of the two people dodges the fatal claw, two black figures will be seen standing up from the bushes.

Under the moonlight, they are nearly two meters tall, covered in black fur, and have heads like wild wolves.

Rockefeller looked at the two little guys who performed well and was very satisfied with their performance.

As long as Mr. Rockefeller is here to guard him, none of those skinny humans will be able to escape from the beach.

By this time, it was completely dark, and the torches lit on the castle illuminated the lights below the castle.

The woods had fallen into darkness.

Bu Jiabing looked at the baron who was talking to the townspeople, although he had no way of knowing what they were talking about.

But they watched helplessly as the excited townspeople lowered their heads as the baron spoke.

It took the Baron only half an hour to completely erase Lockerbie's months' worth of work.

Obviously, things were going unplanned.

Bu Jiabing couldn't help but aim at the baron's head with the flintlock rifle he held in his hand.

According to the previous plan, if things develop in a direction that is not conducive to them.

They need to injure a town citizen to anger those townspeople and create the opportunity needed to complete their plan.

Baron Huntington is a perfect target in the eyes of any loyal believer in constitutionalism.

It is clearly stated in an internal document of the Constitutionalists.

If a war breaks out, barons rank fifth among the list of nobles that the constitutionalists must arrest or eliminate as soon as possible.

It may not seem more important, but the four in front of him are all current high-ranking officials who hold great power.

Therefore, the opposition baron can be ranked fifth, and the constitutional party's fear of him can be imagined.

A black cat stood on a branch looking coldly at the three people below.

Whether it's to inquire about information at close range or to interfere, Oriole can't do it.

Its defense and attack power are almost zero.

It only takes a stone or a falcon to kill it easily.

Xie Sheng couldn't take this risk.

Two black cats "doing nothing" in a castle is not a good idea.

Xie Sheng simply directed the two black cats to leave the castle.

In the jungle, the black cats' agility is pushed to the limit.

The two black cats moved separately according to the position obtained by the oriole.

They soon found these two groups of suspicious men hiding in the woods near the castle.

Director Chandler, his men, and the three-man team of Candy Poison No Ice were completely unaware, and their every move was closely monitored.

The oriole continued to monitor the townspeople from the tower.
