Chapter 111 Why Not

The former Wei Ting family was a behemoth who could be as famous as the Figueirola family, the lord of the western region, and was included in the list of the twelve nobles of Lionheart Castle together with the Figuerola family.

It can be said that they are standing at the pinnacle of power, but they are still not satisfied and want more. They even peeped at the Beast Crown of the Vespasian family.

The Weiting family spent a long time planning and preparing. They secretly summoned a group of dead soldiers and bought people around Edward II. They wanted to launch a palace coup.

Those whose families stayed in the capital were wiped out by the Imperial Forest Army.

When the news came back to Crabfoot, Hilda, the Patriarch of the Weiting family, hurriedly mobilized an army of 3 in just ten days.

However, the composition of this army is very complicated. In addition to the members of the Wei Ting family, some vassals, dozens of mercenary regiments, slave army, and even pirates joined in.

Even many vassals of the Weiting family are not optimistic about this messy army, and they are unwilling to fight side by side with those mercenary pirates.

As a last resort, Hilda had to divide the army into two groups, and handed over the vassals and the family's own troops to her eldest son to go on the road first, while she stayed and continued to rectify the rest.

As a result, Hilda's side has not yet assembled the team, and news of the eldest son's defeat and capture has already come from the other side.

Only five days had passed, and Hilda knew that the situation was over, so she stopped making unnecessary resistance, sent some money to send the rest of the people away, and surrendered to the city.

Counting the time Hilda spent pulling people around, the rebellion lasted only fifteen days. It looked more like a farce, but the consequences were serious.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious. Except for the women who had married into the royal family and other families, almost all members of the Weiting family were wiped out, and even some side branches were not spared.

However, after Edward II chopped off the heads of Hilda and the other 40 people involved in the incident, his anger probably disappeared a lot. In addition, many people came to intercede during the period, and finally gradually calmed down.

He didn't continue to kill people, but he didn't say what to do with the rest of them, so they were just thrown in the dungeon for five full years.

It wasn't until recently that the dungeons were not enough, and His Majesty the Emperor remembered these remnants of the Weiting family again, and ordered them to be deprived of all noble titles and properties, and exiled to the west to fend for themselves.

It is said that there are more than a thousand members of the Wei Ting family who were arrested in the prison, and they had to be separated. Not only the dungeon in the capital was full, but even the newly arrested prisoners in the nearby cities had no place to be locked up, and even had to be rebuilt. New dungeons.

Among these people, less than 120 survived and successfully reached the western border.

These more than 100 people have also become hot potatoes.

After all, the Wei Ting family was involved in a rebellion, and this kind of thing has always been the most feared by the royal family. Even if the mastermind has been executed, the rest of the people cannot be easily exonerated.

If anyone keeps such a group of rebels on his own territory, he will probably make His Majesty the Emperor unhappy.Moreover, the nobles in the western region were not sure how to deal with the remnants of the Weiting family.

After all, the other party was once the top wealthy family in the empire, and even now, many nobles, including the royal family, are still related to the Wetting family. This is the reason why Edward II did not kill the weeds.

But if these guys live too well, who knows if the emperor will be unhappy again.

So how to arrange these people has become a problem.

Ilea also refused at first, but she couldn't stand it and it was time to reap.

Forget it, the lizardmen killed many people and destroyed a lot of crops before, so the manpower on the territory is still enough to harvest crops.But after another two months, it's time to start farming again.

If those vacant fields fail to plant wheat and rye in September, then the next June will definitely have to reduce their production again, and this is all money.

Since getting the news about those refugees, Miss Rabbit has been struggling for several days, and has discussed it with Fausto and others many times.

In the end, it came to a conclusion that if these Weiting family members were not wanted, then if they wanted to recruit free people by normal means, the most optimistic estimate would be to recruit dozens of people at most by September, which was far from making up for it. previous loss.

So the girl finally made a decision, "Yes, why not? Since His Majesty the Emperor dares to send people here, why don't we dare accept it."

"But what these people committed back then was the crime of treason. If there is any change in them in the future..." Someone worried.

Ilea said, "We can't beat more than 1000 lizardmen, can't we beat more than 100 nobles with fine skin and tender flesh?! If someone dares to make trouble, just arrest him."

"When it comes to nobles, I think of another thing," said the new manager, Vigo, "Do these people from the Weiting family know how to farm?"

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

But soon it was Miss Rabbit who spoke viciously, "Learn, if you don't know how to grow, don't you know how to learn? The group of lizardmen taught by Shuangxiu also don't know how to farm. Merlin specially invited a few old farmers to teach them. People like the Wei Ting family don’t know how to grow, so I can find someone to teach them, and tell them directly that if they don’t plant well, they will starve, and I don’t think anyone can plant well?”

Everyone in the Arias family looked at each other in dismay.

It's true to say so, but there is always a sense of unreality in the ears.

The mighty Weiting family back then was known as one of the twelve great nobles in the empire, but now it has been reduced to the point where they have to live in the green fields and farm land for the little-known Arias family.

If you don't plant well, you have to be hungry. This is really... Five years ago, no one would believe it when it was a joke.

"You all think too much." Ilea added, "As long as you get down to the ground and work for a while, you will be exhausted every day, so naturally you won't have time to think about messy things.

"As for worrying that His Majesty will have a bad impression of us because of this, it is even more unnecessary. Your Majesty has no impression of our Arias family at all. If anything happens, Marquis Cullen will bear it first."

The girl's last words moved everyone present.

Indeed, with the prestige of the Arias family in the empire, there is no need to worry about political influence.

Why worry about something that doesn't exist at all?

What everyone thinks about now is living in the green field with peace of mind, and they don't think about developing into the capital. Why do they have to look forward and backward, and just take over people to farm.
