Doomsday Code

Chapter 216 Kevlar's Thoughts

At this time, the City Lord's Housekeeper smiled and said:

"Your Excellency's servant, I just sent her away. Your Excellency's driver should have seen her."

At this time, the eldest prince's messenger looked at his coachman. Although his eyes were calm, the coachman knew that beneath this calmness was his master's endless anger.

But he didn't dare lie in front of others. He did see a young girl being sent out by the butler just now.

The messenger knew that this was true when he saw his driver's helpless look.

But the thought that he would run into a wall just because of a little maid made him even more annoyed.

"My Lord City Lord, this is really kind. He was so angry at a mere maid that he was so kind as to send her away."

The butler seemed not to hear the sarcasm in the messenger's words at all, and instead said complacently:

"Who says he isn't? My city lord is a first-rate city lord.

This beast tide has had a wide impact on our Kailan City. Many of the lowly civilians have suffered. If it weren't for the mercy of the city lord in giving them relief food, they would have starved to death somewhere long ago.

Sir, look around the city now and see if you can see a single starving person dying. This is all because of the Lord of the City's mercy."

However, the fact is that the relief food distributed by Kevlar was originally disaster relief food allocated by order of the State Council, but most of the supplies went into the pockets of Kevlar and those small nobles.

The reason why no one starved to death was that most of the people who could leave were recruited by Xiao Dun and others from the Huidun faction after the disaster.

The only ones who stayed were those who missed home and could not leave.

The envoy did not feel uncomfortable at all when he heard the butler's vulgar insults against the civilians. On the contrary, this was the norm in their eyes.

And when Kevlar and his gang embezzled relief supplies, the State Council didn't send anyone to investigate. That's because of the political system of this world.

In this world, land and population are all a kind of wealth. For example, Huidun City of Huidun. Legally, all ordinary people living in Huidun territory are part of Huidun's property.

Later, Huidun distributed this part of the property to other fiefdoms, and there were many small nobles and their territories.

Therefore, when the Executive Yuan was providing disaster relief, it was not the civilians that were being saved, but these nobles.

Of course, if a noble is really so cruel as to do nothing but embezzle all the relief supplies and cause a large number of his subjects to starve to death, this cannot be punished under the law.

However, if his superior lord came to recruit troops to test the subordinate lords, and he could not provide an equal amount of territory troops, then what awaited him would be the deprivation of his noble status, confiscation of all property, and then exile.

Therefore, generally speaking, smart nobles would not do such a thing as embezzling a large amount of relief supplies, because in the end it would not be of much benefit to them.

Unless he thinks he has too many subjects and does not want to sell the extra subjects for money, but instead prefers to starve them to death.

The messenger returned to his carriage and said in a somewhat cold voice:

"Then please ask the butler to say hello to your city lord for me."

"let's go."

Watching the carriage depart, the butler hurried into the mansion to find Kevlar.

At this time, Kevlar had just put on his clothes and came out of the singer's room. Seeing the butler in a hurry, he called him directly.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so irritable?"

Kefla said as he straightened his clothes.

When the butler saw Kevlar, he ran over quickly and told him everything that had just happened.

Kevlar waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry about him. Now you just need to ask those gangsters to draw maps of the roads near Kailan City for me.

When the time comes, we will have the blueprints. Even if he complains and complains about me to the prince, as long as I have this achievement, the prince will not do anything to me."

Kevlar said this while shaking his head and stretching.

"But, but sir, since we are all going to seek refuge with the eldest prince, why don't you build a good relationship with the envoy and let him say a few good words for you in front of the eldest prince? Wouldn't that be better?"

Kevlar tapped the butler's forehead and said:

"Why do we have such a stupid housekeeper like you in our family? What do you think is the most important thing to me, your master?

Is it the high position and generous salary, or the noble status and fiefdom somewhere unknown?"

“No, the most important thing to me is right under your feet, it is this Kailan City.

So what if this place is a little remote? I am the lord of this city and the sky here.

And there is an endless supply of Kailan flowers here, and Kailan flowers are money.

I have status and money here. Why would I, your master, leave here and go somewhere else, and then bow and scrape to my superiors with nothing in my pocket? "

Only then did the butler truly understand his master's purpose. It turned out that his master had never thought about promotion from the beginning to the end.

No wonder the master had only seen the messenger once since he arrived. After learning the purpose of his visit, he never saw the messenger again.

My master wants to complete the eldest prince's tasks to secure his position, while at the same time distancing himself from the eldest prince's confidants. In the end, the eldest prince will abandon my master because of the confidants' slander, and then the master can continue to be the lord of Kailan City.

"And speaking of which, this time it was all thanks to that slut. In that case, I, the city lord, should be kind and let them return to the arms of God as soon as possible."

The butler quickly understood Kevlar's meaning and immediately retreated.

Shortly after the butler left, two servants entered the room and carried out a naked female corpse. There were many bite marks and pinch marks on the body of the woman, and her fatal injury was a circle of finger pinch marks on her neck. She was strangled to death on the bed by Kevlar.

Kevlar took one look at the female corpse, disgust in his eyes.

"Burn this house to ashes and rebuild it."

At this time, inside the envoy's luxurious carriage, the envoy looked at the carriage curtain with a sullen face, and then heard his somewhat cold voice saying:

"Have you had any contact with that vile person recently?"

The coachman was startled when he heard the messenger's question. He immediately calmed down and answered:

"Master, your subordinates have not come into contact with them."

The messenger knew at this time that this matter had nothing to do with his groom, but when he thought about his request for an audience being rejected again, he could not get rid of his anger for a while.

"Do you know that maid?"

The groom knew that his master was looking for the maid to vent his anger, but he also knew his master's temper and immediately replied:

"That maid is of humble origin, so we should be able to find her in the south of the city. However, the south of the city is where those lowly people live, and it is filthy. Master, do we need to go look for her now?"

The messenger frowned when he heard the filth, and then said:

"Forget about that filthy place. I believe she won't live long after offending Kefla. Let's go back home now. I want to send a letter to the eldest prince about what happened here."
