Chapter 502 The Tiger Falls on Pingyang Roman Fritz's recent days have undoubtedly been very sad.
When he was still the governor of Newhofen Province in the East China Sea, it can be said that he was a man who ascended to heaven.
Originally, he was only born in a small local noble, and the title of the family was just a baron, of course, the situation in the Roland Empire was developed in the east and barren in the west.
The Fritz family, though only a baron, was located on the eastern seaboard.
Under the same title, Baron Pierre, one of Chen Daolin's current team, although he was also a baron at the beginning, he was far inferior to the Fritz family in terms of family strength and wealth.
After the coup d'état, Roman Fritz lost power, was dismissed from office, and even imprisoned for a time, only to be finally released, and then left the imperial capital in disgrace.
After returning to his hometown, life was not easy.
It was originally a huge family, especially in the past ten years, relying on the relationship of the governor of the East China Sea, the family business has expanded tenfold or more.
But now, the governor has lost power, especially when it is learned that the governor has offended the new emperor Silona and will have a good life In this empire, it is not good to offend anyone, but it is to offend the emperor, and it is a young emperor.
It is to be expected, then, that in the coming decades, the Fritz governor will never turn around.
Moreover, I am afraid that this emperor has a grudge against Fritz in his heart, and maybe he will drag the whole family to follow the bad luck.
Because of this way of thinking, Governor Fritz had a very unpleasant life after returning to his hometown.
The blood relatives of those branches of the family can't wait to draw a line with him at this time.
Of course, there is a fear of being implicated by the emperor's anger, but more importantly, it is a desire to take the opportunity to divide the family property.
Not all of the Fritz family's estates belonged to Governor Fritz alone.
According to the tradition of the Roland Empire, in an aristocratic and wealthy family, the patriarch is of course the supreme authority.
But the relatives of each branch of the family will also attach themselves to the big tree of the family to reproduce.
During his more than ten years as governor of the East China Sea, although Governor Fritz was not greedy for anything, it was normal for him to use his power to seek a lot of business convenience for his family.
As a result, the family's fortune increased more than tenfold, and it was the common property of the whole family.
In normal times, no one would dare to propose to the patriarch to divide the family property.
Draw a line between this requirement.
But now, Governor Fritz has obviously lost power, and he can't even stay in the imperial capital, and everyone knows that the current emperor hates him.
An old man who has lost power, who else will be afraid of him Such a huge fortune in the family.
Naturally, it has become a fat meat that everyone is jealous of.
During the days when Fritz returned to his hometown and lived in seclusion, many relatives in the family had already come to him, and even many old people in the family put pressure on him and repeatedly proposed to divide the property.
Governor Fritz was already disheartened, and where would he care about these things outside of him He didn't bother to bother with these villains, and he himself stood by coldly.
I also saw the heat and coldness of this world clearly.
To those people in the family, who groveled to him back then, and now he shouted and even coerced and seduced him, such a face made Governor Fritz's heart already cold.
He didn't bother to continue to entangle with these people, so in the past less than a month, he had successively divided a lot of family property.
Originally, the Fritz family had accumulated more than ten years of wealth.
The land of the homeland, the shops of the nearby towns, the properties of some chambers of commerce, and even a fleet of merchant ships that transported between the East China Sea and the mainland were all demanded by the people of these families.
Fritz was disheartened, and he also held back a sigh of resentment in his heart, and simply didn't bother to quarrel with these people If you want money, take it In less than a month.
Tens of thousands of acres of land, as well as those shops, those industrial businesses, and even tens of thousands of gold coins in cash. and all went to others.
Seeing that these former family relatives are now competing for these properties like mad dogs, Fritz watched coldly and sneered in his heart.
In the end, these people persecuted again and again, and even bullied.
In addition to the desire to divide the wealth that belonged to the clan in the first place, the idea of Fritz's own private property was also raised.
In recent days, some people have even clamored for a meeting of the family elders to be deprived of the Governor of Fritz of the position of patriarch.
The position of patriarch, Governor Fritz naturally didn't care at all.
The position of the governor of the province of Newhoven, known as the "first governor of the world", is gone, and the position of the patriarch of a small local aristocratic family, where would he care But these people have to inch in, not only asking to deprive him of the position of patriarch, but also asking him to give up the ancestral home in the family The reason of these people is that the ancestral house of the family should be lived in by the patriarch's family, and since you are not the patriarch, then this house will naturally be given to others, and there is no reason for you to continue to occupy it.
That's when Fritz became angry.
Among the family, this ancestral mansion was originally just a small mansion before he became the governor, but it was only a few acres of land and a small house.
But after becoming the governor himself, for more than ten years, he spent money to expand the size of the mansion tenfold and build a small manor.
It can be said that this set of inheritance is an heirloom that Governor Fritz decided to leave to his descendants, how could he casually let these people snatch it Fortunately, although he was dismissed, there were still some cronies and guards who had followed him for many years, even if he lost power, and when he returned to his hometown, he had thirty or fifty guards.
It's a pity that he hasn't returned to his hometown for many years, but the local local forces have not been operated, and he has been occupied by these relatives in his hometown one by one, and now in the face of everyone's accusations, he can only order the door to be closed every day and not see these people.
Let these rogue relatives organize people to shout and curse outside.

If it weren't for the fact that Fritz still cared about a trace of affection in his heart, those guards under him would have fought a lot.
But the restraint of Governor Fritz was regarded as weakness by others, and these people persecuted them day by day, and even some people even hired some ruffians to shout and insult them all day long.
The local magistrates knew that Governor Fritz had lost his power, and that no one would come forward to help him, wouldn't it be tantamount to offending His Majesty the Emperor In the evening, the carriage of Chen Daolin and others drove slowly to the small town in the southeast of the empire, where the Fritz family lived.
Sitting in the carriage, Chen Daolin looked at both sides of the road: this is the scenery of a small township in the south of the typical Roland Empire.
The water sources in the south make up for it, there are many rivers, and fertile fields are everywhere.
The vast expanse of fertile farmland is in a dense network of water, and there are some waterwheels and other dots during the period.
There are also small workshops built next to the river, erecting waterwheels, huge grinding discs with the help of water, iron shops, etc.
The road is also quite smooth.
It was only when the vehicle entered the countryside that I saw some people on the road in front of me, and some people on both sides, some of whom were standing at the door of their homes, stretching their necks as if watching the excitement.
In the distance, with the wind, there were bursts of shouting and scolding.
Chen Daolin listened to two sentences, that is, words like "occupy the pit and don't", and some words such as "black-hearted old thing" and "old bald dog without hair".
Listening to this, Chen Daolin's face became gloomy. looked at the other young people in the car, all of whom also looked strange.
Especially Lucius, his face was already red, and he clenched his fist hard, if Chen Daolin hadn't pressed his shoulder, this young man would have jumped out of the car and rushed out.
Approaching a large mansion, the carriage was blocked by the crowd at the intersection, although the coachman shouted again and again, but those who gathered in front of him were obviously not kind or the like, all with face-to-face and provocative expressions, there were seven or eight standing on the road, and there were more than a dozen squatting in the corners on both sides, and there were some bricks, stones, sticks and other things around them.
The coachman shouted twice, and a bareheaded guy glared back: "What do you call the dead man in front, you take a detour" After all, the coachman was a hired outsider, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to stop the carriage and look back at the employers in embarrassment.
Chen Daolin glanced at Lucius, then at Hook, and said in a low voice, "Get out of the way." ” Hook smirked and jumped out of the carriage.
Where would this lord on the sea be polite, he pulled out his knife and walked over, like a tiger entering a flock, and he didn't talk nonsense with these guys, so he went up and hit him directly with his head and face.
Fortunately, Hook didn't want to kill, and the knife never came out of its sheath, but just smashed it all the way, and immediately beat these ruffians and the like to the ground with their teeth pouring all over the place.
In a moment, these people scattered in a hurry, and those who were originally squatting in the corner wanted to come up to help, but after being kicked by Hook one by one, seven or eight people flew away, and they all turned around and ran away.
Hook is a man who does things safely, and although he has beaten most people away, he has stepped on a guy under his feet, and it is the bald head who was disrespectful just now.
The captain smirked and lifted the guy up as if he were carrying a chicken.
The carriage came to the gate of this mansion, and the mansion slowly opened the door, and there were two people who looked like guards and warriors wearing swords and walked out, looking at the carriage vigilantly, and after seeing Lucius jumping off the carriage, the two looked relieved, and showed a surprised expression on their faces: "The young master is back, it is Young Master Lucius" to be continued.
