Chapter 19: House search

He will succeed the city lord two years later? What will happen in two years? How could Keane endure it for two years under Mrs. Widd's breathing?

"I think I have the ability." Keane said firmly.

Mrs. Widd's face turned right and said, "Keen, calm down, you are just a child now. The lord of Chil County manages millions of imperial people. You can't afford this burden yet."

At this time, Jenny next to Keane said, "Auntie, the law of the empire has not stated that he must be an adult to inherit the position of the city lord."

Mrs. Weed looked at Jenny.

Jani looked at Mrs. Weed without any condescendence, and two women of different ages looked at each other.

"Yes." Mrs. Weid said with a smile, "The law of the empire does not specify that it is necessary to inherit the position of the city lord after becoming an adult. But..."

Mrs. Weide said sadly, "After your father passed away some time ago, after the clan learned about the news here, it was originally for your elder brother to inherit the position of the city lord, but my poor child..."

"When I learned that Keen was only fourteen years old, the clan people gave the order that this Chir County City is one of the most important county towns in my northwest province, and is close to the provincial capital "Basil". The management of Chir County City is very important. The clan ordered Keen to become an adult before he could take over the position of the city lord."

"Clan?"

Keane and Jenny were both stunned.

When they heard this from the sect leader's order, Jenny and Keen were also a little confused. As members of the Jax clan, Jenny and Keen knew the meaning of the clan.

"Auntie, did the clan really give such an order?" Jenny stared at Mrs. Widd.

Mrs. Widd frowned and looked at Jenny: "Jenny, do you think I will still pass on the clan's orders? Well... Before Keen inherited the city lord, I will preside over all matters in the county town for the time being."

"I am the future city lord, and I have the power to decide who will be the acting city lord." Keane shouted dissatisfied.

Mrs. Widd looked at Keane with a cold look.

Lin Lei, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke out: "Madam Weide, your so-called clan should not have ordered you to be the acting city lord, right?"

Mrs. Weide was stunned.

No matter how bold she is, she will not dare to make up clan orders randomly.

Jenny and Keane both belong to the Jax family, and the Jax family is one of the most powerful clans in the entire O'Brien Empire.

The northwest province, one of the seven provinces in the entire O'Brien Empire, is controlled by the Jax family.

And Jenny, Keane's father, Weed & Jax, is just a sub-child of the Jax family. If it weren't for the Jax family, how could this cowardly guy, Weed & Jax, be the lord of a county town?

Weide is dead now.

In the eyes of the Jax family, the Chil County City naturally still has to be responsible for the personnel of the Jax family.

Although Mrs. Widd, although she married Widd, Mrs. Widd was not the blood of the Jax family after all, and it was unlikely that the Jax family would let Mrs. Widd take the position of acting lord.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the old antiques of the clan..." Mrs. Weide secretly hated her.

No matter how powerful Mrs. Widdor is, she cannot compare with the Jax clan. In a word, I am afraid that her noble lady will go out to beg for tomorrow.

"I am not an adult, but my sister is an adult. I will send people to the provincial capital "Basil". I believe that the elders of the clan will let my sister be the acting city lord, not you!" Keen said proudly.

The conflict between Jenny, Keen and Mrs. Widd cannot be concealed at all.

Just a few words, it was completely exposed at the banquet. After all, Jenny, Keen's mother was essentially persecuted by Mrs. Weed. Jenny, Keen was assassinated all the way.

"Okay, okay, if you have the ability, just ask the clan for your request. I really want to see if the clan will hand over the important task of acting as the city lord to an eighteen-year-old girl." Mrs. Weide raised her chin and said proudly.

Keane's face was also full of stubbornness.

The fourteen-year-old boy was at his most rebellious period. The more proud Mrs. Widd was, the more Keane wanted to resist. Keane also believed that the clan would definitely stand on his side, after all, he was a child of the Jax family.

After the banquet.

Linley, Jenny, Keane, Lambert stayed together. After asking, Linley fully understood how powerful Jax family of Jenny, Keane was.

Their father, Weed & Jax, is just a child of a sideline.

The real direct clan has a very terrifying power. The entire northwestern province is completely controlled by the Jax family, and it is hereditary. The Jax family has been controlling the northwestern province for a thousand years.

"The royal family of the O'Brien Empire is indeed very confident. He dared to hand over a province to a family for thousands of years." Lin Lei sighed in his heart.

The scope of a province is even larger than that of the Kingdom of Finlay.

Let a family manage a province for a long time, it is easy to give a family amazing strength. This is also a factor in "rebellion, division".

However, the royal family of the O'Brien Empire was very confident.

Because they have the existence of the "Martial God" and have a large number of powerful people from the Wushen Sect. Moreover, the two most important provinces of the entire O'Brien Empire, the "Central Province" and the "O'Brien Province" are controlled by the royal family.

"With the God of Martial Arts, no family dares to rebel. Not to mention the God of Martial Arts, the disciples of the Martial Arts Sect for thousands of years are just a terrifying force."

Lin Lei understands.

In front of peerless strong men, the so-called army is just a joke. The army is just a deterrent to secular people. But the strong people in the holy realm are the most important point that determines the fate of a country.

"The Jax family, who has been in charge of the northwest province for thousands of years, is probably amazing in strength." Lin Lei said in his heart.

"Hmph, I don't believe that the clan will support him." Keen said angrily.

Lambert smiled and said, "Young Master, don't worry. If the clan supports her, she will probably look different today."

That's true.

At this moment, Mrs. Weide was indeed very angry: "The brothers and sisters from the countryside are so arrogant. It's really... I should have sent people to kill them in the early years, so it's not as troublesome as it is now."

Mrs. Weid thought that her son would be the city lord.

But unexpectedly, her son died so early.

"That stupid thing Hallmore has lived to a beast for more than three hundred years." Mrs. Weid's eyes shone coldly, "For more than three hundred years, Hallmore may have accumulated a lot of wealth."

Late at night, Chier County City was very quiet.

Hallmo's mansion is located in the east city of Chier County. The mansion covers a very wide area and has many beautiful maids. Hallmo is a person who likes beauty very much.

Suddenly, a dense sound of horse hooves sounded.

Two guards from Hallmo Mansion stretched their heads out from the hole next to the gate in confusion, and their faces turned pale. At this moment, a large number of city guards in armor had gathered outside the gate.

"Open the door." A proud knight riding a horse and wearing white armor shouted loudly.

Mrs. Weid and her two brothers also rode a horse and watched the scene with laughter. Hallmo's family was not very master. Once Hallmo died, the family was just a piece of fat meat waiting to be slaughtered.

The door slowly opened.

"Sir, I wonder what we are doing late at night?" A middle-aged man ran out in disheveled clothes. He had just gotten up from the bed.

"Countess." The middle-aged man suddenly saw Mrs. Weed, and his heart trembled.

Mrs. Weid said coldly: "It is verified that Hallmo is suspected of assassinating the city lord's heir, Keen. Now all the people from the Hallmo family are detained, and all the family property will be checked."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's legs became weak and he couldn't help but kneel down.

"No, countess." The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "My grandpa is invited by your two brothers..."

"Slandering the nobles, the crime is more than the first level, and kill them." Mrs. Weid's face turned cold.

The knight spear in the hands of the leader suddenly turned around, like a big python that had come out of the hole. The sound of "hissing" piercing the air, and the spear pierced the middle-aged man's throat.

Mrs. Weid's elder brother shouted loudly, "Hurry up your movements."

The city guards immediately rushed towards the mansion like wolves and tigers. The city guards liked the most was to search other people's homes. Because of this kind of thing, they could secretly get some benefits for themselves.

certainly……

They didn't dare to do too much on their own, after all, there were other people around them.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!"

One by one, the women and men rushed out in disorganized clothes and shouted loudly, some of the escorts in the mansion also held weapons, but the escorts did not dare to take action at all.

Because they could see that the person in front of them was the city guards.

How dare the private guards of the mansion fight against the city guards?

"Hormo is suspected of assassinating Young Master Keen. Everyone in the Hallmo family will be captured and rebels will be killed." The leader said coldly. Those in Hallmo's mansion were all stunned when they heard these orders.

In front of the fierce city guards, those people were all caught powerlessly.

But there were still many people who didn't want to surrender and immediately fled away quickly. The city guards also chased and killed each other.

"That bitch Weed." An old man with gray hair, "It was her who asked grandpa to take action, but now that grandpa is dead, she actually came to search the house. It's so cruel."

The gray-haired old man walked out of the secret room, with three magic crystal cards stuffed in his arms.

Hallmo was over 300 years old. Only two of his many sons were alive, and the other sons were old and died. Both of them were relatively young. And grandson... the older grandson was over 200 years old, but the younger one was only in his thirties.

"Stop." Suddenly a city guard saw the old man.

The old man waved his hand and sprinkled a handful of powder.

"Uh." The city guard's face turned purple and yellow in color instantly. He kept covering his throat and moaned in pain. He fell to the ground and died in just a few strokes.

The old man sneered and ran along the path very flexibly.

"Stop." A loud shout came from afar.

The old man ignored it at all, but the speed was faster.
