Li Qing saw that the person who said he would stop him was her stepmother Agnes. She put her hand on the old earl's chest, as if she was comforting him, and the old earl looked at her second wife in surprise.

"Sir, Rudolph has been whipped once. If he cannot learn from his lesson, then why should he use the same punishment?"

Agnes turned her face to Li Qing, and a sneer on the corner of her mouth said to Earl Schwartz.

"Oh, what punishment?"

Earl Schwartz sat back on the chair with the help of Mrs. Agnes, and he looked at his second wife with his turbid eyes and asked her.

“Abolish his inheritance.”

Mrs. Agnes said impatiently.

“Abolish the inheritance right?”

Li Qing looked at the two people in front of her in surprise. Unexpectedly, because of a punch, Agnes actually suggested that Earl Schwartz abolish his inheritance rights. It was obvious that this woman had long wanted to deprive Rudolph of his inheritance rights and give it to her son Katrisy.

“Abolition of inheritance?”

Earl Schwartz narrowed his eyes and looked at his sturdy eldest son opposite him, but his heart was full of disgust. Earl Schwartz's first wife came from a lowly noble family, who was originally not worthy of an ancient family like Habsburg. However, when he just took over Schwartz, the territory was so poor that he couldn't even get a knight's armor. Rudolph's mother's family was an Italian city-state aristocrat. The marriage brought Earl Schwartz a large dowry, which also allowed Schwartz to escape the crisis of bankruptcy.

However, Count Schwartz did not like this woman from Italy. Even though the red-bearded Barbarossa had always claimed that the German states and Italian city-states were subjects of the Holy Roman Empire, just like other German princes, he hated the strange Italians.

"Even if half of the German bloodline is not able to hide the stench of Italy."

Earl Schwartz showed a look of disgust, his fingers trembled, and he was about to lift them up.

"Please wait for the Count."

At this time, Bishop Albert, who had been beside him, spoke.

"bishop?"

Agnes looked at Bishop Albert like a poisonous snake, but the Bishop did not retreat or was afraid.

"Biden Albert, what do you have to say?"

Count Schwartz cannot ignore the voice of the church. Even the powerful Barbarossa sometimes has to make necessary compromises when facing the church, let alone aristocrats like Count Schwartz.

"Dear Count, I understand your anger at your eldest son, but it shouldn't have reached the point where the right to inheritance is abolished, right?"

Bishop Albert clasped his hands together and said modestly to Earl Schwartz.

"Bike Albert, the right of inheritance is something that the Earl himself decides. Will the church interfere with the choice of an Earl for his successor?"

Mrs. Agnes hurriedly said that she was willing to commit herself to this old and ugly count, in order to allow her son to win the title of count and become the ruler of Schwarz County, but she did not expect to be stopped by the bishop.

"My Lord Earl, if I remember correctly, from ancient times to the present, the nobles have taken their eldest son as their heirs. If the eldest son dies, they will be inherited by the eldest son's eldest son. Whether it is His Majesty the Emperor, the King of the Kingdom, or the Duke, the Earl and other nobles are like this, because whoever is born first is God's will. How can secular people change God's will at will?"

Bishop Albert said to Earl Schwartz.

"Uh, Rudolph, you beat your brother for no reason, and I will punish you to go to the church to practice and repent."

Earl Schwartz finally made a decision, and he did not deprive Rudolph of his inheritance, but let Rudolph go to the church outside the fort to confess quietly alone.

"Ahh, I'm tired and I'm going to have a rest."

After Count Schwartz made this verdict, he yawned and walked towards his bedroom with the help of two maids. Bishop Albert also hurriedly said goodbye, leaving only Rudolph and Lady Agnes in the huge hall.

"Rudolph, you're lucky this time."

Mrs. Agnes looked at Rudolph with a sharp look and warned him.

“My luck is not very good.”

Looking at Mrs. Agnes who passed by her, Li Qing shrugged herself and said.

Li Shimin: I thought I was going to be deposed.

Ying Zheng: But Ni Guawa's life is now like hanging on a spider silk, which is very dangerous.

Your friend Liu Bang is online.

Liu Bang: How is it?

Li Qing: Mrs. Agnes said she wanted to abolish my inheritance rights. Fortunately, a fat old man, Bishop, dissuaded him. This old man is pretty good.

Li Shimin:...

Ying Zheng:.......

Liu Bang: Why does he want to help you?

Li Qing: It’s a good person.

Li Shimin: Young man, you are too naive. Do you understand this political investment?

Ying Zheng: This melon baby is regarded as a rare thing!

Li Qing: What does it mean?

Li Shimin: You are the legal heir of the Count. If you didn’t have your stepmother who interfered with it, as long as you live until the day the old Count died, you will be the Count. As long as you help you, will you have to thank others in the future?

Li Qing: Oh, that's it!

Ying Zheng: Beat this.

Li Qing: It’s embarrassing, I thought I had met a good person.

Liu Bang: Laugh, this is a good thing, it is better to have useful value than to be ignored by no one.

Li Shimin: Lao Liu's words are true, at least we have an alliance in the Earl's court.

Ying Zheng: Don’t be too proud. If you want someone to sell him or even help him count the money, it won’t be worth it.

Li Qing: I understand, thank you guys!

Liu Bang: Hehehe, I, Lao Liu, are an expert in selling people, can I still sell this Hu Fan?

Li Shimin: However, young people, be careful. Just now, I saw that your stepmother looked bad and was careful that she assassinated you. I observed that most of the soldiers here were very afraid of her. It would not be an exaggeration for you to be a dragon's nest.

Liu Bang: What's the matter? I remember when I went to the Hongmen Banquet, the swordsman was ambushing around. The banquet was full of murderous intent, so I didn't leave calmly.

Ying Zheng: Right, stop bragging.

Li Qing was anxious. Now the old count favored Mrs. Agnes and his injuries were not healed. If he assassinated while he was sleeping, or poisoned the food, he would be very ignorant of his death.

Li Shimin: Don’t worry, young man. If you want to kill you, she will definitely have killed you long ago and will definitely be afraid.

Ying Zheng: Uh, let me leave here and Duke Wen of Jin was born outside.

Liu Bang: Agree, go outside to find a place to establish separatism.

After listening to the suggestions of several emperors, Li Qing felt that it was better to leave the fortress full of dangers. Thinking of this, he stepped out of the main tower.

Outside the main tower, Li Qing stood on the steps and saw a row of stables made of thatch and wood on the right side of the main tower. Several horses exposed their heads in the stables and ate the hay in the manger. On the left are two wooden buildings, one of which is guarded by guards at the door, but the other is a few maids entering and leaving, and there are smoke from the chimneys on the building. Three little servants in square robes sit bored on the wooden bench outside the building and yawn.

"Is this the Lord's Kitchen, where Jenny seems to be working."

Li Qing thought of this and walked towards the Lord's kitchen. However, before he could reach the Lord's kitchen, he saw a pile of firewood next to the Lord's kitchen, Jenny lowered her head and was talking to a man wearing a gray hood.

"Who is that?"

Li Qing was slightly curious and continued to walk over, but it was obvious that the two seemed to have had an argument. Seeing this, Li Qing hurriedly walked over quickly.

"I won't leave, this is my job."

Jenny raised her head and said to the man in the gray hood.

"No, it's too dangerous here..."

The man wearing a gray hood turned around and saw Li Qing walking towards him. He hurriedly closed his mouth, then turned around and left quickly.

"Oh, Rudolph, your injury is healed?"

Jenny also saw Li Qing at the same time, and she smiled and said to him.

"I'm fine, it's much better now, thanks to your herbs."

Li Qing smiled and said to Jenny, while looking at the back of the man who had left in a hurry with curiosity.

"It's okay, that's someone who helps us transport apples."

Jenny quickly pulled Li Qing's arm and walked to the side, saying as she walked.
