I really deserve to die!

Chapter 1441 Punishment of Pippin

After counting the gold coins, Earl William summoned all the knights, packed up all the gold coins in the treasury, and transported them back to the castle.

On the way back to the castle, the residents all pointed at the mighty convoy.

Earl William was under a lot of pressure, and kept his hand on the hilt of his sword.

He was afraid that this group of residents who were dazzled by money would flock to them and do outrageous things.

If that happens, then he can only let the knights calm the chaos.

These gold coins are not his, but they are full of Lord Dragon Slayer's trust in him, he must bring the gold coins to Lord Dragon Slayer without fail!

If he can't even do this well, then how can he have the face to mess with Lord Dragon Slayer in the future?

Fortunately, the battle of all [-] knights made the residents who were about to make a move restrained and did not dare to act recklessly.

Earl William escorted the gold coins and entered the castle without any risk.

The residents outside the castle were full of disappointment, but they could only shake their heads and sigh.

"Master Dragon Slayer."

Earl William hurriedly came to Xufeng's door and knocked lightly on the door.

Sitting at the desk, Xufeng put down the quill in her hand, stretched her waist, "Come in."

He had just finished the blueprints for the new watermill when Earl William came.

Earl William pushed the door open, and respectfully saluted Xufeng.

Xufeng waved his hand, "William, don't be so polite, how is the situation in the vault?"

Earl William immediately said beamingly: "Master Dragon Slayer, you must have never thought of this!"

Xufeng said with a smile: "Looking at your expression, there should be a lot of money in Carlyle's treasury, right? More than 100 million gold coins?"

Earl William nodded excitedly, "That's right! That damned Lord Carlyle actually searched for 160 million gold coins!"

"So many?" Xufeng couldn't help frowning and said: "I think the living conditions of the residents of Carlyle City are not rich at all, and the industry is dying. Compared with Anduin City on the other side, it is really worse." It’s so far away! The Lord Carlyle actually has so many gold coins! But he doesn’t use them on his own residents! How disgusting!”

Earl William said: "At the beginning, I really should have stabbed him a few more times! Let him suffer for a while before he dies!"

Xufeng smiled faintly: "No, it's good that the owner of Carlyle is so conservative and didn't let Greema take away the gold coins. Let's leave 100 million yuan for the expenses related to the waterwheel project. The 60 that was paid was used by the lord of Carlyle to search for the residents of Carlyle City. You use this part of the money, 30 of which is used to distribute to the residents of Carlyle City, and the other 30 is used to recruit workers and build the infrastructure of Carlyle City. , I want Carlyle City to have various facilities such as asphalt roads, skill schools, clinics and hospitals in a short period of time."

Earl William said in surprise: "Send the money directly to the residents?"

"Yes, this is their money in the first place. Now, it should be spent on them." Xufeng said calmly.

Earl William stood in front of Xufeng with trembling lips and tears in his eyes, speechless for a long time.

Xufeng asked strangely: "William, what's the matter with you? Could it be that you are not willing to give up the 60? Don't worry, I promise that the knights' money will come from the 100 million gold coins."

"No, no!" Earl William said hastily, "Master Dragon Slayer, that's not what I mean! I just think that you are truly a man of unparalleled benevolence! A person like you should be the king of our human race! Only you are worthy of ruling our entire human race!"

Xufeng smiled and waved his hands, "I'm not that interested. Our Snow Empress team's return this time is just to deal with the coming Dark Legion. As for the Emperor, he will appear."

"Yes." William sighed secretly in his heart, he felt that what the dragon slayer said was just comforting and perfunctory him.

Arnor, Gondor, and Rohan, the three major human kingdoms, have no kings anymore, and the entire Middle-Earth Alliance exists in name only. Everyone is independent, and even plunders and attacks each other.

Originally, King Arson had the opportunity to unify the entire human race, but King Arson died young.

William really sees no hope.

While arranging the blueprints at hand, Xufeng said, "Okay, go and distribute the gold coins, oh, and call Pipin for me by the way."

"Yes." Earl William saluted Xufeng with a standard military salute, then turned and walked out of the room.

After a while, Pippin stooped like a schoolboy who has made a mistake, and walked in with his head bowed.

"Master Dragon Slayer, are you looking for me?"

Xufeng nodded, "Sit down."

Pippin said hastily, "I dare not."

Xufeng smiled and said, "Why dare not? You kid even dared to hand over 100 million yuan directly to the Lord Carlyle. Why don't you even have the courage to sit down now?"

Pippin smiled wryly and said, "I thought that since the Lord Carlyle is the Lord, he wouldn't be able to run away. Besides, we have also signed a contract."

Xu Feng sneered and said, "That's right, you signed a contract, but when he violates the contract, what can you use against him?"

"This" Pippin didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Xufeng shook her head helplessly, "You, I guess, Bilbo should have sent you here because there was no one available."

Pippin blushed and said: "He wants me to experience it. After all, I am the heir of the Took family. In fact, hobbits don't like adventures, and few hobbits are willing to leave their comfortable and comfortable place. Shire region, I can walk out of the Shire region alone, which is not easy."

"Okay, okay, don't put gold on your face." Xufeng said with a smile: "If it weren't for the extraordinary relationship between me and Bilbo, if it wasn't for the loss of gold coins this time, you see how I will deal with you! "

Pippin was taken aback, then grinned and said, "So, Lord Dragon Slayer, you won't hold me accountable anymore?"

Xufeng smiled and said, "I don't need to pursue the responsibility, but the parts of the waterwheel are lost after all, so you must also accept the punishment."

Pippin asked hastily: "What punishment? Is it to fix the road?"

Xufeng laughed and said: "With your weak appearance, punishing you to repair the road is simply delaying the progress of work."

Pippin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's better to punish me for working, hehe."

Xufeng laughed and said, "I'll punish you by not drinking alcohol until the waterwheel is built."

"Ah?" Pippin said with a face full of pain: "Master Dragon Slayer, this is too cruel, isn't it? Is it okay to have a drink every day?"

"No." Xufeng shook his head, "Don't drink a drop of wine, if you can't do it, then go back to your Shire region now and be an incompetent Tuke family heir."

Chapter 1442 Early start-up capital

The muscles in Pippin's face quivered slightly.

Of course he knew how honorable it was to be able to stay by Lord Dragon Slayer's side.

When he was a child, he grew up listening to Bilbo's stories about the dragon slayer. Now, with the legendary hero he admired so much in front of him, how could he leave like a loser?

What's more, Bilbo asked him to wait until the waterwheel project was completed before returning to the Shire area. If he went back like this, the Took family would look down on him, not to mention Bilbo would be angry.
