Chapter 159: It’s hard to guard against domestic thieves
While Lao Xie was watching the fun, there was suddenly another cry like a pig being slaughtered outside, and then, a fat woman still wearing pajamas rolled in and crawled in. It was the little white-faced mother and the emperor's sister. , the wretched fat man’s nominal wife. Apparently she heard about her son's tragic experience and ran over as fast as she could without even changing her clothes.
Then when she saw her son covered in blood, she almost fainted. Then, like a sow protecting her cubs, she rushed over and stood in front of her son. Everyone else was stunned. I didn't expect that she could be so agile with her fat body. It seems that no matter how shameless and despicable a woman is, she has a natural maternal brilliance towards her children.
"If you dare, beat me to death!" the duchess held her son and wailed at the fat man.
Seeing this woman suddenly standing in front of him, the fat man was stunned for a moment, but then he became furious and whipped her directly. At the same time, he cursed: "You bitch, do you still think I don't dare to whip you?"
"Ah!" The Duchess had never been beaten like this in her life. She was trembling with the whip on the spot, and then an obvious blood mark appeared on her chest. She screamed in pain, and then The scream turned into a scream, and then she fell directly to the ground, crying and shouting, "It's killing, it's killing! Brother, where are you? Your sister is going to be killed, come and save me. !" When the guards from the palace saw her, they were so frightened that they rushed over to block her, fearing that the fat man would continue to attack.
However, the fat man obviously lost the mood and strength. He was originally a magician and was not good at physical strength. After being whipped so many times in a row, he was already exhausted and covered in sweat. He was also crying like crazy because of this woman. Hao Yi reminded, remembering her identity, he didn't dare to continue beating her. After all, she was the emperor's only biological sister, right? He had no choice but to throw away the whip, spat hard, and then cursed: "Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet!" After saying that, he kept panting, obviously very tired.
Seeing the fat man throw away the whip, the duchess became emboldened again. She climbed up and cursed at the fat man: "You **** who has killed a thousand swords, why did my son provoke you? You are so cruel." Beat him, if he has any shortcomings, I won’t be able to live anymore!”
"You asked him what he did?" The fat man shouted angrily, "This prodigal bastard! I want to **** kill him!"
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the Duchess hurriedly endured the severe pain, turned around and asked: "Son, what have you done?"
"I, I just played all night with my friends yesterday and didn't come back?" The boy cried aggrievedly: "I was **** and beaten hard as soon as I got home this morning. Mother, do you think this counts? What's going on?"
"Damn fat man!" When the Duchess heard this, she immediately said angrily: "Just because of this? You dare to beat my son? And you beat me too? What on earth do you want to do?"
"Get the **** out of here!" the fat man roared angrily: "It would be better for this **** to die outside. I don't care. I whipped him for, for~"
The fat man obviously had something to hide. He did not say it directly, but waved his hand and sent all the servants out. Only the butler beside him was still there. The Duchess was not stupid. Seeing this posture, she also dispersed the people surrounding her, leaving only one butler. Only Lao Xie didn't care about this. Not only did he not leave, he even came closer happily.
When the Duchess saw this, she became very angry, because Lao Xie was obviously here to see a joke. He immediately said angrily: "The adults are talking here, while the children are playing!"
Lao Xie became angry when he heard this, and immediately sneered: "Family management is a matter for men, and women should get out!"
"You~" When the Duchess heard this, her face turned green with anger, and she was about to say something.
But the fat man spoke directly: "Little Stephen is now the Earl of the Empire. Having captured Tianfeng Shirou, he is fully qualified to participate in anything within the family! Stop arguing and come in!" , the fat man entered the living room of his residence with the help of the housekeeper.
Seeing this, the Duchess could only follow helplessly. Lao Xie glanced at her with disdain, and then slowly walked in.
After the fat man entered, he motioned for the Duchess and Lao Xie to sit down, and then ordered the butler: "Bring that beast in for me!"
"Yes, sir!" The butler agreed, then hurried out, put the **** little boy in, and then placed him directly on the ground. Seeing his miserable condition, the Duchess felt heartbroken.
But the fat man didn't care about this at all. Instead, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Let me ask you! What have you done recently?"
"You didn't do anything?" the guy said aggrievedly: "Isn't it the same as usual? Just hanging out with friends!"
"Party?" The fat man sneered: "It's about gambling and playing with women, right?"
"So what's the matter?" The Duchess interjected: "Which family's child is not like this? Besides, I gave him all his money, so what does it matter to you?"
"Fart!" The fat man stood up angrily and roared: "I lost more than 50,000 gold coins in two months, can you **** afford it?"
"Ah!" The duchess trembled when she heard this. You know, although she dotes on this son, she only gives him one or two thousand gold coins a month. In fact, she is not very rich. After all, her dowry is limited and she has no income. If Fatty hadn't needed her to help him in the upper-class aristocratic circle, so he gave her a fixed amount of money for socializing, she wouldn't have been able to come up with so much cash every month.
But the number of fifty thousand is too big. It is equivalent to the amount of money the fat man gave her for a year. Apart from business matters, the Duchess can save her son more than 10,000 yuan in pocket money every year, which is already very good. But after all, more than a thousand gold coins is not a small amount, so there is a limit to this kid's squandering. Although he used to spend all his money, it was still enough. But he didn't expect that he could lose fifty thousand gold coins in two months, which of course surprised the duchess. So she hurriedly asked: "Son, is this true?"
"This~" When the boy heard that the fat man even knew the specific figures, he immediately became paralyzed and could only say tremblingly: "This is true, but don't worry, mother, I promise to pay you back in the future. ”
After hearing this, the Duchess also gasped in anger, but she immediately calmed down. After all, she is the emperor's sister and will not lose her sense of proportion for such a trivial matter, so she immediately said: "Master, if you If you are worried about this gambling debt, don’t worry, just leave it to me. I want to see which **** dares to ask me for the gambling debt!”
What the Duchess said was very wild and arrogant, but it was not outrageous at all. At least no one present would think that she was bragging. As the biological sister of His Majesty the Emperor, who in the Griffin Kingdom dares not to give her face? Even wealthy families like Augustus and Hercules would not fall out with the duchess just because of this gambling debt. As for other small nobles, if they dare to come to ask for debts, they may not be able to save their lives. This is the power of power. If you have power, you can be unreasonable!
However, after the fat man heard this, he immediately spat angrily, and then cursed: "Bah, do I care about tens of thousands of gold coins? My fart is worth more than this, is it worth such a big fight? You Ask what the heck he did?"
When the Duchess heard that there was more to come, she quickly turned her face and asked: "What else did you do?"
"No, it's nothing!" Although the boy's face turned pale, he still said nothing.
The Duchess also saw that something was wrong and didn't bother to ask him. Instead, she turned to the fat man and said, "Master, what on earth did he do? Just tell me!"
"This **** actually sold the secret formula of the family's bow and arrow workshop in order to pay off his debt!" the fat man said angrily.
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood why the fat man was so angry. It turns out that although the Stephen family's business is large, the real and stable source of income comes from a few workshops passed down by the elders. Business in the City of Chaos is not stable, and the pirates might go crazy and be taken over, so it's okay to add some extra money, but you can't completely count on it.
Since the Stephen family comes from an alchemy family, the technologies in the manufacturing workshops passed down from previous generations are the best in the Griffin Kingdom. It is almost a monopoly operation with very large profits. Among them, the bow and arrow workshop is one. Apart from the workshops that make wands, magic robes and some necessary items for magicians, this bow and arrow workshop is the most profitable.
Despite the name of the workshop, it is actually very large. Tens of thousands of bows are produced every year, 50,000 of which are supplied to the Griffin Kingdom. Of course, this does not mean that the Griffin Kingdom's army must buy so many bows every year. In fact, the Griffin Kingdom's army only loses more than 10,000 bows every year. As for the remaining bows and arrows, the royal family came forward and sold them to surrounding small countries and even the Empire of Light in the name of the country. Even the orcs made large purchases.
This is the reason why the emperor was able to make two or three times huge profits from the Stephen family. Anyway, the emperor would only make a profit if he sold it, so he would naturally not care about the little profit of the Stephen family. Such a disposition would ensure the common interests of the emperor and the Stephen family to the greatest extent.
