Chapter 502 [Tiger Falls in the Sun] (Part 1)

Roman Fritz has undoubtedly been very sad recently.

When he was still the governor of Newhoven Province in the East China Sea, he could be said to have achieved enlightenment by one person. He was originally a small nobleman from a place, and his family's title was just a baron - of course, the situation in the Roland Empire was developed in the east and barren in the west.

Although the Fritz family is just a baron, the family is in the eastern coastal area. Under the same title, Baron Pierre, one of Chen Daolin's current team, was also a baron's title at the time, but in terms of family status and wealth and connections, they were far inferior to the Fritz family.

Roman Fritz lost power after the coup, was dismissed from office and was even imprisoned for a while, and was finally released and then left the imperial capital in shame.

After returning to my hometown, life is not easy.

It was originally a huge family, especially in the past ten years, the family has expanded its family business by relying on the relationship of the East China Sea Governor to expand its family business by more than ten times. But now, the Governor has lost power, especially when people learn that the Governor has offended the new emperor Hilo - would there be a good life?

In this empire, it is not good to offend anyone, but he offends the emperor, and he is also a young emperor. It can be expected that in the next few decades, this Governor Fritz will never have a day to turn around.

Moreover, I am afraid that the emperor would hold a grudge against Fritz in his heart, which might even drag down the entire family to be in trouble.

Because of this way of thinking, Governor Fritz lived a very unhappy life after returning to his hometown.

At this time, the blood relatives of the branches of the family couldn't wait to draw a clear line with him.

Among them, there are certain concerns that they are affected by the emperor's anger, but more importantly, they hope to take the opportunity to divide the property clearly.

The Fritz family's industries do not all belong to Governor Fritz. According to the tradition of the Roland Empire, the patriarch of a noble family is of supreme authority. However, the relatives of each branch of the family will also rely on the family tree to reproduce. After more than ten years as governor in the East China Sea, although Governor Fritz was not greedy, it is normal for human beings to use his power to seek many business conveniences for the family.

The family's industry has grown more than ten times, which is the common property of the entire clan. If it were usual, no one would dare to ask the clan leader to divide the family property and draw a clear line.

But now, Governor Fritz has obviously lost his power, and even the imperial capital cannot stay, and has been driven back to his hometown in shame - everyone knows that the current emperor hates him.

Who else would be afraid of an old man who lost his power?

Such a huge property in the family naturally became fat that everyone jealous of.

During the period when Fritz returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, many relatives from the family had already come to see him, and even many elderly people in the family put pressure on him and repeatedly proposed to divide his property.

Governor Fritz was already disheartened, so how could he care about these external things?

He was too lazy to care about these villains, and he watched coldly and saw clearly the coldness of the world. He was servile to those in the family, but now he called and even threatened and tempted him. Such a face made Governor Fritz feel cold in his heart.

He was too lazy to continue to get entangled with these people, so in less than a month, he had divided a lot of his property one after another.

The wealth that the Fritz family had accumulated over ten years. The land in their hometowns, shops in nearby towns, industries of some chambers of commerce, and even a fleet of transportation merchant ships between the East China Sea and the mainland were also requested by people in these families.

Fritz was discouraged and held his resentment in his heart, so he simply didn't bother to argue with these people!

Want money, right? Take it!!!

In less than a month, tens of thousands of acres of land, those shops, those industries, and even tens of thousands of gold coins in cash were all returned to others.

Seeing these family relatives who used to be fighting for these property like mad dogs, Fritz watched coldly and sneered in his heart.

But in the end, these people repeatedly forced and even became bullied.

In addition to sharing the wealth that originally belonged to the clan, he also had the idea of ​​Fritz's own private property.

In the past few days, some people even clamored to convene a meeting of family veterans and demanded that Governor Fritz be deprived of his position as the leader of the clan.

Governor Fritz naturally didn't care about the position of the patriarch.

The position of the Governor of the Newhoven Province, known as the "No. 1 Governor in the World", is said to be gone. How could he care about the position of the patriarch of a small local aristocratic family?

But these people are more and more eager to take away their position as a clan leader, but also ask him to leave his ancestral home in the family!

The reason for these people is that the family’s ancestral home should be lived by the clan leader and family. Since you are not the clan leader, then the house will naturally be given to others, and there is no reason for you to continue to occupy it.

Fritz then became angry.

The ancestral home in the family was originally a small mansion before he became the governor, but it only had a few acres of land and a small house. But after he became the governor, he spent more than ten years to expand the house ten times and built a small manor.

It can be said that this industry is a family inheritance that Governor Fritz decided to leave for his descendants. How could these people snatch it away?

Fortunately, although he was dismissed from his official position, he still had some trusted guards who had followed him for many years. Even if he lost his power, he had thirty or fifty entourages when he returned to his hometown.

Unfortunately, he has not returned to his hometown for many years, but the local local forces have not been managed and have been occupied by these relatives in his hometown. Now, facing the accusations of everyone, he can only order the door to close and not see these people every day. All these rogue relatives organize people to yell outside.

If Fritz hadn't thought about a little affection in his heart, his guards would have fought.

But Governor Fritz's restraint was regarded as weak by others. The forced force of these people exceeded one day, and even some people hired some rascals and clamored and insulted around the neighborhood all day long.

Local officials all knew that Governor Fritz had lost his power, so where would anyone come forward to help him? Isn’t it equivalent to offending His Majesty the Emperor?

...

In the evening, Chen Daolin and others' carriages slowly drove to the small town in the southeast of the empire where the Fritz family was located.

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Daolin looked at both sides of the road: This is a typical small town in the south of the Roland Empire.

The water sources in the south are filled with many rivers and fertile fields.

The large fertile farmland was in dense water networks, and there were some water wheels and other decorations. There were also small workshops built next to the river, with water wheels, huge millstones with the help of hydraulic power, iron shops, etc.

The road is also quite flat.

As soon as the vehicle entered the countryside, I saw some people surrounding the road ahead, and some families on both sides. Some people stood at the door of their homes, stretching their necks as if watching the fun.

From afar, what came with the wind was the sound of clamor and scolding.

After hearing a few words, Chen Daolin said, "Eat a pit and don't poop", and some words such as "an old man with a black heart" and "an old bald dog without hair".

As he listened, Chen Daolin's face became gloomy.

After looking at the other young people in the car, they all looked strange. Especially Lucius, his face was already red and he clenched his fists hard. If Chen Daolin hadn't pressed his shoulder, the young man would have jumped out of the car and rushed out.

When they approached a large mansion, the carriage was blocked by the crowd at the intersection. Although the coachman kept shouting, the people surrounding him were obviously not kind, with all their faces full of flesh and provocative expressions. There were seven or eight on the road, and there were more than a dozen squatting in the corners of the walls on both sides, and there were even some bricks, stones, wooden sticks and other things next to them.

The coachman shouted twice, and a bare-headed guy glared back: "What's the name? There's a dead person ahead, you take a detour!!"

After all, the coachman was hired by foreigners and did not dare to act rashly, so he had to stop the carriage and looked back at the employers in the car in embarrassment.

Chen Daolin glanced at Lucius, then looked at Hooker, and whispered: "Let's open the way."

Hook grinned and jumped out of the carriage.

This hero on the sea would not be polite. He pulled out his knife and walked over, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. He didn't talk nonsense to these guys, and he just hit him in with a head-on look.

Fortunately, Hook didn't want to kill people, and the knife was not sheathed, but just smashed them all, and they immediately beat these gangsters and other guys to the ground to look for their teeth.

In a moment, these people scattered. The people who were originally squatting in the corner wanted to come up to help, but after being kicked seven or eight people by Hook, they all shouted and turned around and ran away.

Hook is a person who is safe in doing things. Although he beats most people away, he steps on a guy under his feet, which is the bald head who just spoke rudely.

The captain grinned and lifted the guy up directly, and held it in his hand like a chicken.
