Yellow hair can also have a husband-chasing crematorium

"Uh...that seems to make sense..."

The girl was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Langdon to extract this kind of information from her sensational memories just now.

She, she said so much before, just to let Langdon know that she was forced, and that she was also in great pain, so that the gentle noble young master should not be affected by her image of slandering him at that time, and have mercy on her... Why didn't he press What about the routine?

Not to mention girls, the well-informed Xia Tiya had never seen this scene before. She was so shocked that her glasses almost slipped off the tip of her nose, and she didn't reach out to help her.

Langdon, this... this...

Xia Tiya searched for a long time but couldn't find an adjective.

It can only be said that depending on the posture, Langdon has no intention of keeping this girl as a maid.

Sure enough, Langdon nodded when he saw the girl dumbfoundedly admitting it: "Then judge according to your parents and your accomplices, slandering nobles is a capital offense, but it's over when you die, and you can redeem your sins only by living...be demoted to slavery The coal mine has been mined, and I will send someone to go through the formalities later.”

The girl has no comments.

Although she didn't realize it at first, thinking that she had done something wrong, but after Langdon's analysis, the girl really believed that her parents' problems were bigger than hers.

As for slaves...

Slandering nobles and offending nobles are crimes that can be punished by death, and those who can be forgiven are basically young girls like her, who actually pay for the crime with their own bodies, and are also slaves.

Her parents being able to escape the death penalty was already a sign of Langdon's tolerance. If he was more tolerant, allowing her parents to maintain their status as commoners would only make other nobles feel that Langdon had no majesty at all.

What's more, her parents weren't very good people, and her father got into and out of the prison because of alcoholism and fighting. Most of the family's money was consumed by her father. Forcing her father to work hard was also a relief for her and her mother. .

However, if Langdon is so tolerant to her parents who are the masterminds, then she...

Langdon asked the girl, "Can you read?"

The girl nodded obediently: "I am literate, I often go to the church to study."

Perhaps because of magic, this world is not like the Middle Ages in Langdon's original world, where the church and nobles monopolize knowledge and do not allow commoners to be literate.

In fact, the church has opened schools similar to literacy classes in various places, allowing anyone to go in and learn to read.

People who have been found to have magical talents by the church work very hard to study in the church, lest they enter the Imperial School of Magic and find that they cannot learn magic because of illiteracy, which would be a big loss.

And everyone knows that literacy can lead to better jobs, so except for the real slobs, most people are very cooperative.

Hearing the girl said that she could read and write, Langdon was satisfied: "For the sake of being an accomplice and surrendering yourself, you don't have to dig coal. Instead, you can work in a printing factory of an acquaintance of mine, with food and lodging included. salary."

This punishment surprised the girl.

Although it was different from what she thought, she was not left to work as a maid for Langdon, but... but she was found a job that would not lose her job and sounded decent enough to ensure that she would be able to carry out her daily life without starving to death. After all, it was better than the days when she continued to sell flowers.

After all, the income from selling flowers is really unstable, and her parents have even discussed making her a wandering warbler.

This young duke, even after being deeply hurt by himself, still treats her better than her parents...

The girl was very moved, and at the same time regretted that she had hurt such a good person.

Seeing the girl's grateful eyes, Langdon asked kindly, "Do you know what 996 is?"

"……?have no idea."

"It's okay, you'll find out soon." Langdon finished writing a letter, then rang the bell to call someone in, "Take her to the printing factory with this letter, see the letter Roland will know what's going on."

Finally understood what Langdon was doing, and as soon as the girl left, Shalltear said speechlessly, "I thought you would leave someone as a maid, but you actually sent someone to work in a factory..."

Langdon put the pen back in its cap, leaned back in his chair, and raised one eyebrow.

"Why did I accept her as a maid? Did she slander me? You have done something wrong, and as long as you apologize, you can change from a precarious commoner to a noble maid. What do you think of other people who live in peace? The value orientation is too incorrect."

Shalltear was taken aback.

Yes, that is indeed the truth...

How can people who do wrong things not be punished, but their status has risen?

It's so strange, why didn't she realize this problem before?

Sure enough, it was an environmental problem. The people around her all took this kind of thing for granted, and she also accepted it as part of the rules, and she didn't think there was a problem at all.

It's so funny, obviously she has been telling herself that she can't become the same as the imperial brother, her father, and those fallen nobles, but the impact on her is far more than what she thought.

If she hadn't known Langdon, she might still have thought that she had done a good job, right?

"Our newspaper is gradually getting on the right track. Recently, there is a shortage of people. It just so happens that she can also read... and in this way, she can be separated from her parents, so that her parents will not continue to control her blood-sucking."

Langdon stretched his waist: "I hope she can get better without the influence of her parents."

Shalltear was deeply moved.

Even if it was the person who hurt him, Langdon would still consider so much considerately, but he was emotional and rational at the same time, so it would not affect the trial...

It's really completely different from the nobles she knew...

Langdon's next sentence interrupted Shalltear's thoughts.

"I don't know why, I'm not sexist, but the girls around my age don't give me a good impression. I have psychological shadows. If I can, I even hope that there are no maids in the mansion. Unfortunately, there are many servants who work. I haven't learned it before, so it's not easy to get started right away. Fortunately, you are a man, and we have a very pleasant cooperation... Charles? What's wrong with you?"

Shalltear supported the document that she accidentally knocked over.

"It's nothing, I just hope that I can be so happy in the future, hahaha."

37. Is this person too far-fetched?

When Shalltear left Langdon's house, she felt a little complicated.

Langdon was surrounded by either his adoptive sister who believed in outsiders, or the vain and arrogant Qingmei, and the girl who used his fame to blackmail her, or to revenge her kindness...

In this way, he can still trust Helena's ability and give Helena the right to judge, which is enough to show that he is not a patriarchal person, but he just keeps women at arm's length, which is already considered very strong.

It stands to reason that she can fully understand Langdon's mood, but for some reason, when Langdon sighs, "Fortunately, you are a man", she feels disappointed.

But she planned to hide her gender and identity all the time, so what's there to be disappointed about?

From the perspective of interests, concealing the truth is the best choice.

This is just a foothold in her journey, and she will leave soon. The people she met at the temporary foothold before, why didn't she have such troubles... ah.

Xia Tiya suddenly realized.

By the way, it must be because she and Langdon are friends now, that's why she feels a little uneasy about concealing such a big event as a friend!

Consciously finding the answer, Shalltear returned to her usual calmness, opened the door and returned to her residence.

"Welcome back." Her old deacon stood guard in the living room, and immediately greeted her when she came back, tentatively testing Shalltear, "Have you gone to that Duke Stuart again?"

"That's right." Shalltear took off her glasses, confirming that the effect of interfering with the magic is still continuing, "I'm going to help."

The deacon didn't agree very much: "I don't think you need to help identify cultural relics in our country now, right? You have postponed your travel plan several times."

Xia Tiya took off her glasses to reveal her beautiful emerald eyes, and blinked guiltyly: "Well, I'm helping with other things."

"I know, you mean 'newspaper', right?" The deacon guided Shalltear to sit on the sofa, and then picked up a stack of newspapers from the table beside her.

Xia Tiya raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you say you didn't want to watch it before?"

"I'm just saying I'm not interested—but after all, it's something you participated in making, so I definitely want to pay attention to it." The old deacon turned to a certain page of the newspaper, "But I've read all these issues of the newspaper, I can’t see anything worthy of your help... You said that you stayed here to learn something, is it just to learn this?”

As he spoke, the old deacon read a passage in a depressing tone: "On the streets of the Kingdom of Sarière, a man was sentenced to death for yelling 'this country sucks' on the street. He argued that he did not say which one it was. country, but His Majesty Edward said, 'I have been emperor for decades, how can I still not know which country you are talking about?!'..."

Shatia didn't change her face: "This joke section is very popular. Most people didn't know much about the Kingdom of Sarière, but now they all sympathize with the common people of the Kingdom of Sarière."

The deacon took a deep breath: "Your Highness..."

"I said don't call me Your Highness here."

The deacon insisted: "Your Highness! His Majesty Edward is your father! Since you have participated in the production of this newspaper, how can you allow such a story that insults your father and your country to be published!?"

"The civilians who are still alive are my father's victims. Even if they see this joke, they will only agree with me."

The deacon was very puzzled: "As a noble princess, why do you stand on the side of the common people?"

Xia Tiya said coldly: "I, the princess, set foot on my homeland. Once I am recognized, I will only be torn apart by people. What kind of royal family am I? Which royal family is treated like this in my own country? It has been so many years, you almost It’s time to accept the reality—the kingdom of Sarière is long gone.”

The old man shook his head wearily: "Your Highness, you can't reject your class just because of your father and brother...well, there are other nobles who show their ugly appearance..."

"I need some clarification on this."

Shalltear's slender fingers curled up her hair: "I admit that I used to be prejudiced against the aristocratic class because of those guys... But now I find that class is class, and people are people. My previous thinking is still So naive."

If they were all aristocrats like Langdon, she wouldn't think there was a problem, so there were still too many differences between people.

The old man was taken aback, he didn't expect Shatiya to have an epiphany at this point, and he felt a little joyful: "Then you..."

"—But I still hate them, especially when I find that the people of the August Empire sympathize with the high-ranking Salieri nobles, and feel that there is something wrong with the civilians who are struggling to survive... I think this idea is out of injustice Learn about the Kingdom of Salieri."

Shalltear smiled slightly: "So I asked Langdon, since there is a newspaper as a means of publicity, can you help me publicize how cruel the emperor of the Kingdom of Saliere is..."

The old man took a deep breath: "It was you who proposed it on your own initiative?!"

Shalltear nodded calmly: "I even wrote a manuscript about what crazy things my father did... But Langdon said it was too serious and too long, so you might not be interested in reading it. So he adapted the joke you saw based on the manuscript I wrote."

Having said that, Shalltear added with great interest.

"Facts have proved that Langdon's method is more effective. I heard people discussing Sarière on the street, and they all began to sympathize with the common people. Even the nobles have criticized my father for going too far... ...better than my long explanations."

The old man only felt his heart ache: "Aristocrats also buy newspapers?"

"Buy it, this is something Langdon came up with, isn't it normal to be popular?" When Shalltear mentioned this, she felt proud.

The old man was inconceivable: "Speaking of which, how did this thing suddenly appear all over the place overnight..."

Shalltear replied: "Didn't Langdon open a restaurant before, which caused a lot of discussion among the common people? He anonymously held a 'We common people also have our own gourmet restaurant' event, and asked everyone to recommend restaurants in the imperial capital." Shop that you think is delicious, and then vote..."

After the voting was over, Langdon deliberately went to eat at the top twenty restaurants, and then wrote a review.

Shalltear and Roland took the reviews and went to the mentioned shop to show the boss.

For a small store like a mom-and-pop store, they offered to send a few copies to the store after it was printed. The owner was beaming and told customers about it for several days, which was equivalent to helping them promote it.

As for the big hotels with capital behind them, just hint.

Some business-minded shopkeepers understood in seconds, and immediately expressed their desire to book in bulk at a discounted price, and some even paid for them to change some of the bad sentences in the reviews...

In short, these comments were stuffed into the first issue of the newspaper, and in the first issue of the newspaper, in addition to the topic of gourmet restaurants, there were joke sections, novel serial sections, imperial capital news sections, recruitment sections, etc.

These restaurants are helping them to publicize, and some even bought newspapers from them, distributed them everywhere for free, and even sent them to other places to show that there is something new in the capital, and my shop is famous in the capital.

It can be said that the first issue of the newspaper took off thanks to the popularity of gourmet restaurants, but people are still willing to buy it later, depending on the practicability and stickiness of other sections.

Now they still collect recruitment information for free and publish it. Those whose information is limited to a few streets near their homes and cannot find a job try to get newspapers to see if there are any jobs suitable for them in the entire imperial capital.

In the future, the recruitment column will probably become a fee-based item, but Shalltear feels that Langdon's purpose is not to make money at all.

"Although I don't know what Langdon is thinking, it may just be a whim, but there is no doubt that Langdon is playing with the emotions of the entire imperial capital. He makes people's attention and thoughts follow his thoughts. Change—such is the two-stage change in the view of the people of the imperial capital towards the Kingdom of Saliere."

Shalltear looked at the old man sincerely: "Don't you think that this method is more terrifying than the army in a certain sense? I stay here because I want to learn more from Langdon, maybe it is better than restoring the country by force." It can restore stability to the turbulent Sarière sooner."

The old man's expression became a little apprehensive: "The young Duke of Stuart... He is obviously a dude no matter how you look at it, but he has such a means. Could it be that he was pretending before?"

"...No, no matter how you look at it, you must have been framed..." Shalltear dripped a drop of cold sweat, feeling that her deacon's view of Langdon seemed to have changed a bit too.

The old man thought of something, and asked nervously: "Your identity hasn't been discovered, right? It's still too dangerous here, I think it's better to leave quickly, if he finds out, maybe he will use you for something..."

Xia Tiya was puzzled: "What can he use me for? He shouldn't like the reward money, right?"

The old man was nervous: "Crazy like him who likes to manipulate people... Cough, genius, I saw something similar when I was traveling in the Southern Federation when I was young. Now he is just manipulating public opinion in the imperial capital, and he will soon feel dissatisfied. Then manipulate the turmoil in the entire country, and eventually even cause several countries to go to war... I think Duke Stuart's method is more terrifying than that person I have seen. Your identity is too subtle, and it is very possible to become this kind of person s material……"

Xia Tiya slowly put out a question mark: "...?"

Was Langdon in this character?

"Don't believe me, the person I'm talking about is usually personable, high-ranking and powerful. Sometimes it makes people feel warm, and sometimes it's very cold. But before things get serious, everyone thinks that this is just part of his personality charm. He usually occupies a leading position, and his words are inexplicably provocative, which will make people fall into his logic and can't get out, and even subvert the previous concepts... If you recall, the Duke of Stuart has a few words ?”

Shalltear fell silent.

Alright, it seems...they are all right...

[ps: The number of words in this chapter has exploded, so I won’t add more updates today, the last two days of the swimsuit event, I’ll pay the monthly pass when it’s over! 】

38. Langdon is terrible!

Langdon felt that Shalltear seemed a little strange today.

Because Shalltear likes to ask questions very much, Langdon also intends to cultivate a useful assistant, so he will bring Shalltear by his side when working, like reviewing newspaper submissions today, the two are also in the conference room together.
