The only player on earth

Chapter 399 73. Unsatisfied Henry Zhang
Enough!

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were amazed one by one.

Now they finally know how ruthless a woman can be when she starts to be ruthless. Many people look at Duke Lion gloatingly, wanting you to offend women, now they know how powerful women are.

What is a territory? It is the lifeblood of a nobleman.

The nobles who own the territory can do whatever they want in their territory, issue laws, adjust taxes, and even recruit a large number of soldiers. The powerful nobles do not even pay attention to the emperor's orders.

However, if the land is lost, the only thing left for the nobility is a title of nobility.

Other than that, nothing.

The territory of the Zhang family has been managed for generations and has long been built into an iron wall. Even the orders of His Majesty the Emperor are not as effective as those of the Zhang family.

Now, if Duke Isabel wants the territory of the Zhang family, he is digging the roots of the Zhang family.

Once they lose their territory, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty can be sure that within three generations, the Zhang family will lose their position as duke. If there is no big improvement, they will continue to decline, thereby losing their title of nobility and becoming commoners.

From the establishment of the Crown Empire to the present, many famous nobles have fallen into mediocrity step by step, or even cut off their inheritance and disappeared into history.

Therefore, territory is the foundation of a noble.

Of course, the Lion Duke knew this too, but it was precisely because of this that when he heard that Isabel wanted his own territory, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.

"Duke Isabel, you are trying to destroy the Zhang family."

"It's just each other." Duke Isabel said: "The Crown Cup, if I lose, the Isabel family should already be in your pocket."

She smiled slightly, and continued: "It's a pity, the sky doesn't obey people's wishes."

The Lion Duke took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "I have another question."

"Please say."

"Where is my son?"

"I don't understand what you said." Duke Isabel shook his head and said calmly.

"A few days ago, I signed a document for my son, which was exactly the same as this piece of paper. Since this piece of paper fell into your hands, you must return my son to me."

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Duke Isabel still said the same thing, but she couldn't help but think of Henry Zhang, such a vengeful boy, who actually imprisoned the old lion's son.

She knew that the heirs of this kind of big family had magic circles on them. Once they died, the magic circles would collapse, and the Lion Duke would know that his son was dead.

Now, if the other party asks for his son, it means that his son is not dead yet.

Most likely imprisoned.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." The Lion Duke said: "I can hand over the territory to you, but I only have one request, hand over my son to me."

Duke Isabel said indifferently: "It seems that you really don't believe me, but it's okay, I can accept any magic test. I haven't touched your son, and I don't know where your son is."

After a pause, she said: "There are some things that I will not do. This is the tacit understanding of our nobles."

Killing the other party's heirs is really unacceptable. Once you open your mouth, the consequences will be too serious.

Today you kill my heir, tomorrow I kill your heir, does the empire have a future?
The emperor is going crazy.

This is the bottom line, Duke Isabel will not do it.

The Lion Duke glanced at the other party, and suddenly asked, "Who gave you this thing?"

Duke Isabel said indifferently: "Didn't you lose to me?"

"Female fox." The Lion Duke's teeth were itchy with hatred in his heart, but he said nothing, "I still say the same thing, give me my son, and give you the territory."

Duke Isabel shook his head, "If you want to say that, I don't want the territory. Give me eighteen magic spar veins, and you can't miss any. If you don't return it after the deadline, it will be doubled!"

The Lion Duke turned his back on the rat and finally waved his sleeves and said: "I'll give you the territory. I will deliver the territory's contract to your house in three days."

After that, he bowed his head slightly and said to His Majesty the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, and I want to retire first, please allow Your Majesty to approve."

The emperor sighed, looked at the Lion Duke who had lost so badly in this game, and said softly: "Since Aiqing is not feeling well, you should go back first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Lion Duke turned his head and left.

After the Lion Duke left, His Majesty the Emperor looked at Duke Isabel and said, "This time, Isabel has won a great victory. I am happy that you arrived, but I hope Isabel will not embarrass Zhang Qing too much. He is not young either. "

"My lord, I have always been considerate of each other." Duke Isabel said with a slight smile.

"That's good."

His Majesty the Emperor said: "Now that the matter has come to light, please retreat. I am tired and want to rest."

"Minister, leave."

After Duke Isabel left the palace, he was immediately surrounded by civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty.

After defeating the Zhang family, Duke Isabel's status in the empire naturally rose, and these ministers naturally wanted to curry favor.

Especially those ministers who are not aristocrats, because of their outstanding political achievements, they have become high-level members of the empire, but they are only limited to their generation. If there are no outstanding talents among the descendants, once they abdicate, they will be beaten back to their original forms.

It is completely different from the nobles who have been nobles for generations and own territories.

Especially Duke Isabel is one of the best.

They are fine people, they will naturally understand this.

……

In the evening, when Henry Zhang heard the news, he jumped up excitedly.

"It's really well done." He couldn't help muttering to himself. It has been more than half a year since he came to this world. He knows exactly what will happen to a nobleman who lost his territory.

Because of this, he felt very happy.

The more miserable the Zhang family is, the more excited he is.

After all, he and the Zhang family already had a great hatred, which was basically irresolvable. When Zhang Qiming hired the Thousand Transformation Witch to assassinate Henry Zhang, if he didn't have a game mall, he would be dead now.

In other words, it is not an exaggeration for Henry Zhang to die once.

Therefore, between the Zhang family and Henry Zhang, there is actually a murderous feud. Even if Henry Zhang is magnanimous, it is impossible to forgive the Zhang family, so he backhandedly gave the Zhang family a big gift.

Now that he heard that the Zhang family was unlucky, Henry Zhang was naturally very happy, but deep down in his heart, Henry Zhang was actually a little regretful.

Because the Lion Duke is not dead yet.

For Henry Zhang himself, this is very dangerous. If the lion of the Zhang family knows that this matter is related to him, he may kill Henry Zhang desperately.

So for Henry Zhang, only the dead Lion Duke is a good Lion Duke.
