I Have a Dragon Island - Chapter 179

[Chapter 179 Lucky Old Tis]

“Your Excellency, Viscount. Do you mean…”

Holtu narrowed his eyes, feeling a little daunted.

In fact, he had also heard about Baron Fengming’s construction work, which was brought by a “original townsman” named Lao Tis.

I didn’t expect that Viscount Rudolf would mention it at this time.

For a moment, his mind was full of thoughts, and then he was suddenly startled and understood what Rudolf meant.

Sure enough, when he reacted, Viscount Rudolf’s voice continued to come.

“Things like expropriation of land also happen frequently in noble territories. However, the harvest in Fengming Town this year is extremely poor. If Baron Fengming continues to mess around like this, how will the people in the territories survive?”

After a pause, Rudolf continued with a smile, “Take my order and go find the Baron of Fengming Town and ask him to pay a fine, and then this matter will be over.”

Holtu looked up and immediately saw Rudolf playing with a piece of ore. He bowed and said, “Haha, Lord Viscount, I understand what you mean. I will ask him to transfer the mining rights to Lanyang City.”

…

At the gate of Lanyang City.

Old Tis was driving a carriage with a very humble attitude.

“Lord Hortu, I didn’t expect you to come to Fengming Town in person. If the townspeople whose land was confiscated heard the news, they would surely kneel down and express gratitude to you.”

Holtu smiled lightly, obviously feeling somewhat comfortable with the flattery.

He lay comfortably on the recliner and said with a smile, “Old Tis, you are very good, and your two sons are also very good. They both have the talent to become a knight. Let them work hard, and maybe they will have the opportunity to work for me in the future.”

Hearing this, Old Tis was ecstatic.

Recalling the scenes from a month ago, he let out a long breath.

When he originally came to Lanyang City, he wanted to join the Kobe family.

However, he did not expect that it happened to be the time when Viscount Rudolf was recruiting soldiers.

So he took advantage of the situation and directly let his two sons sign up.

Although the process was a bit difficult, fortunately, the two of them worked hard and passed the selection and became recruits.

Therefore, the old Tis family has some capital to gain a foothold in Lanyang City.

And then, another piece of news came out.

It turned out that his two sons had the talent to become knights during a test.

This time, the old Tis family can be said to have benefited greatly.

The Naqbi family not only returned the money they had collected, but also gave back many gifts.

Old Tis was extremely happy. After living in poverty for most of his life, he finally got his reward and could enjoy a peaceful life.

As for the matter of defrauding the residents of Fengming Town of their money, he had already put it out of his mind and forgotten it completely.

And the most crucial thing is that after his words, Baron Fengming’s construction plan actually reached the ears of Viscount Rudolf.

Now that the captain of the Viscount’s personal guards was going to Fengming Town in person, he felt proud and at ease.

“Haha, even though I was the one who cheated them of their money first, now that Lord Hortu has set out in person, I can be considered to have done my duty to them. Humph! A bunch of lowly people will surely be grateful to me!”

Thinking of the wonderful idea, Holtu was so excited that he whipped the horse and drove the carriage directly towards Fengming Town.
