In order to prevent the trap from being exposed, only Reger accompanied the monk.
The other three people hid in the dark and listened.
The monk was of course very satisfied with Reger's support for the church, and praised Reger on the spot as a "kind, pious and good master."
He also thanked Reger for collecting the ladder tax to the church, and hinted that there would be such a tax in the future, and he would do his best to help.
Don't think that monks are too greedy.
Just say that if you hand over more money, you can get a higher and better position.
If you can get 10,000 gold coins, you can even sit on the position of Cardinal Archbishop of Bavaria.
All performance is based on money, money, money, money, everything is based on money.
It’s time to get down to business.
Waiting for the brides-to-be to be brought by their fathers again in the evening, they will ask the lord to open their buds.
"Father, there is something I want to tell you."
Reger coughed slightly unnaturally: "It's about the right of the first night."
The monk immediately said: "My lord, someone has come to me for help.
He said that he didn't know where he offended the lord, or he thought that you didn't think the gift was rich enough, so he didn't exorcise his daughter, which caused trouble to him and his whole family.
Yes, one night I didn't even get a good night's sleep.
The bridegroom's family is also worried.
They have already given me the bride price, and they can't get married without passing by your lord.
Now the groom's family has collected ten more eggs.
The lord just cares about those salted fish.
For the sake of eggs, let’s exorcise his daughter.”
Cheng Qianxun and the others, who were hiding outside and eavesdropping, covered their mouths with their hands.
For the sake of salted fish and eggs, hahaha. . .
It's so funny, my daughter and my wife are so worried that they can't sleep even if they don't get fucked.
This probably only happened in the Middle Ages.
Anyway, since coming here, everything has been like a farce.
But this farce was entirely possible under the circumstances.
Regel would end up in this situation, which he never expected in his previous life or this life.
He swallowed and began to explain bitterly: "Dear priest, it's not that I don't want to.
It is my responsibility to exorcise the bride in the territory.
But my fiancée doesn't agree.
I forgot to tell you."
He deliberately lowered his voice and said softly and mysteriously: "Miss Cheng saw that I was extremely painful after losing my fiancée.
She said that according to the Eastern rules, one grows up first and then the youngest.
She is willing to be my fiancée, and my brother will wait until next year to find a suitable one.
If the woman gives it to him, at most it will give him a piece of land as compensation."
The monk listened, and he had actually heard a little bit about this kind of thing, not to mention that Miss Cheng had already revealed a little about it in the church.
So he congratulated: "Congratulations, Lord, for getting such a good woman who is as beautiful as she is rich."
"Don't rush to congratulate me."
Reger said with a bitter face: "But when she heard that I wanted to help those brides exorcise evil spirits, she almost fell out with me.
I really don't know what to do now.
I finally got rid of her sister.
Can I Once you marry her, you can't lose her because of your first night.
Otherwise, she will return to my brother without looking back, and my brother will be much richer than me. " The most important thing is that both men are really good looking.
She has a nice face, good white teeth, and a tall figure that makes people jealous.
The monk pretended to be understanding.

He used people's money to eliminate disasters, and after thinking about it, he came up with an idea: "Actually, the right to the first night can also be transferred.
If it is inconvenient for the lord, you can just let the domestic slave perform it on your behalf."
"Isn't this good?"
Regel pretended to be reluctant, "These brides-to-be are actually pretty good."
"Oh, my good Lord," the monk laughed and reminded: "A woman will naturally have this after she gets married.
Of course, we advocate loyalty.
The key now is that you have to marry your fiancée and her large dowry.
Don’t give up a gold coin for a lot of copper coins.”
Reger saw that the monk's eyes were fixed on the large plate of pig head meat on the table, so he said: "You're right, Father, come on.
Quickly wrap up this plate of meat and take it back to the priest to eat.
The priest is patronizing Please tell me, I didn’t even eat well.”
In fact, it was too much to eat, so the monk took the bundle wrapped in cloth and the plate, and went back happily.
When Regel returned to the study, he saw the three people inside holding their stomachs with laughter and twitching all over.
In order to exorcise more than a dozen brides, the new lord here was put in a difficult position.
It would be easier if we had a priest.
When not four but five brides-to-be came in the evening, what was waiting for them was not the tall and handsome lord with a fragrant smell; instead, they were as dirty as they were and had rotten teeth. , five mercenaries with swords with streaks of dirt on their faces.
Of course, all this was not a reward from the lord, but was offset by two days' wages.
It was now nearing the end of the Middle Ages, and the idea that getting married would shorten one's lifespan was gradually fading away.
If it had been two or three hundred years earlier, Reger would have had no choice but to bite the bullet.
These thugs are very enthusiastic, and the next bride should be able to sell them.
The parents and family members of the bride were waiting at the door, as if they were very angry that their daughters had been sold to other servants.
At this time, Rudolf came out at the right time and conveyed the orders of the future hostess to these family members.
She was very happy that the lord could do this, so she decided that the generous gifts they brought would be returned to them as a wedding gift for the bride.
Now the complaints against the lord suddenly disappeared, and he praised the lord and his future wife repeatedly.
Words such as "May God bless them" were heard endlessly, mixed with the cry of pain from which one of the bride-to-be could not help but cry.
Cheng Qianxun stood in the study, looking at the people downstairs who were happily praising their master, and could only sigh slightly.
It’s hard to imagine what it would be like to sell one’s children during times of famine in ancient times.
And now, in a place where food is more valuable than a person’s chastity, I really don’t know if there is any shame at all.
When the five brides-to-be were taken back by their families, they heard one of them yelling angrily: "This is from the lord's wife.
It's my dowry."
They started to quarrel over the things.
Don't say that they don't know how to honor their parents and don't think about the younger siblings they may have at home.
You must know that this autumn has passed, and the long winter is approaching, and even the grass that can be gnawed has withered and turned yellow.
This food can give the poor new family enough to survive until next spring.
When people live by gnawing grass like animals, any dignity is fake.
Only living is the truth.
There is no tax on Sundays, the manor has a day off, and everyone has to go to church to pray.
Reger put a hundred copper coins in a money bag and asked the churchgoers to bring them to the monks.
I've already agreed with the monk how much it will cost, so I won't be embezzling.
Otherwise, the crime of deceiving God is very serious, and the punishment for being a witch is even heavier.
There was no one in the entire manor, so I had to do everything by myself.
In fact, there is no need to cook it.
The brown bread has already been baked, enough for four people to eat for a month.
But no one wants to eat the bread that was made three days ago and is so hard that it needs a saw to cut it.
The first choice is of course potato and chicken soup, and then paired with noodles in flour soup.

Everyone helps to make it in the kitchen.
Eat together after cooking The black bread was still on the table.
After taking a few bites, Sneijder looked at the bread and suddenly said: "It seems to be moldy."
So it caught everyone's attention, and when they looked carefully, there was indeed a faint speck of bacteria on the rock-hard black bread.
“Such a big loaf of bread was wasted,” Sneijder lamented.
"It won't be wasted."
Reger said in a normal way while eating: "It's normal to eat moldy bread.
In some places, you can still eat the bread if it's hairy.
Look, when the meal starts tomorrow morning, this piece of bread will be eaten as usual.
Bread will be destroyed."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he ate even the moldy bread.
Reger asked for another bowl and explained: "There are many people eating here, so the bread was eaten without much mold.
I also asked them to burn as little as possible and bake it after eating.
Otherwise, we will wait for the elephants to eat."
Like the nobles in other castles, they often eat moldy bread."
"This is the life of a medieval aristocrat."
Sneijder was about to hold his head: "If Cheng's chicken soup and potatoes didn't still have some hope, I might as well have died."
"Be content."
Rudolf smiled bitterly: "I didn't let you go to Russia during the Tsarist period to be a serf.
You would be worse than a feudal peasant here.
Even for nobles, what the Tsar and the Empress loved to do most was to send people to Siberia.
To If there is no need for Brother Jeffrey to do anything, he can freeze to death there. " "Think carefully about how to catch Jeffrey."
Cheng Qianxun felt that his life was too comfortable: "We are prepared for danger in times of peace.
At least we still have food.
I don't know if Jeffrey will jump over the wall or adapt to life in the wild.
Has he received any Boy Scout training?”
Three days have passed, and Jeffrey must have been so hungry that he became invisible several times.
Regel thought for a while and came up with an idea: "How about I make an announcement tomorrow to see which house is missing food, and maybe we can find out where he is currently hiding.
It's autumn, and there will always be some food. , He won’t starve to death.”
Rudolf said surreptitiously: "It's impossible for us to remain in a stalemate until winter.
Maybe that kid wandered in front of the door several times and couldn't find a chance to come in."
We really need to find a way.
Jeffrey is currently in the dark, so we must bring him out.
As for the murder, leave it to Rudolph.
But if he encounters this kid again, without Rudolph, even Cheng Qianxun will not hesitate to pick up all available weapons and kill this little bastard.
"With his brain, sooner or later he will find an opportunity to come in."
Sneijder picked up a baked potato with some butter and ate it: "This is a game, but we have the advantage, there are four of us, and he only has one.
I think If the boss is impatient, it will be a sign.
Well, what is the yellow and green moldy thing on the plate?"
Cheng Qianxun had noticed it a long time ago and put it on a table.
She even asked specifically about it.
She smiled and said, "It's cheese."
"Cheese" Sneijder looked at the plate of things in surprise.
If he didn't know better, he wouldn't have known that this rancid-smelling thing was actually cheese from the Middle Ages.
It took him a while to swallow the food in his mouth and screamed: "The evil Middle Ages":
