I! Cleaner!

This is really... too outrageous! How could such a ridiculous thing happen?

Looking at the new silver badge on the panel, not only the nobles in the ward were stunned, but Leon in the wheelchair was also caught off guard.

I broke into the Ryan family at night a few days ago, not only killed their first heir, but also killed more than 200 backbones one after another, and created the Ryan Bloody Night that sent the Ryan family into hell.

As a result, the old duke of the Ryan family didn't know what was wrong. Less than five seconds after I was pushed into the ward, I inexplicably identified myself as the next heir, making myself the biggest beneficiary of the Ryan Bloody Night incident...

Damn! Isn't this a scam?

I am the ultimate beneficiary, and I am suspected of having the ability to create Ryan Bloody Night. If there is anyone with a normal mind in the Cleanup Bureau, they will have to send a company of investigators to investigate me from inside to outside!

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

Suddenly, a two-ton hot potato was pressed on his face. Although he felt no guilt, Lyon, who was really guilty, frowned and quickly refused:

"I am not interested in this title. It is better to consider other things..."

"Asshole!"

Before Lyon finished speaking, an old man with gray hair and beard stood out from the crowd and shouted with contempt:

"This is the title of the Duke of Lionheart! And the old duke personally appointed it before his death! Can you give it up with just one word?"

So it's none of your business?

As a person with a decent character, if it were normal, Lyon might still be careful with his words, but now he is eager to get rid of this hot potato and get rid of the suspicion of creating Ryan's bloody night, so he is not very polite.

"Who the hell are you?"

After giving a response that made the nobles look horrified, Leon quickly looked at the old man's attire and found a cyan crown with three single feathers on the badge on his chest.

Although cameras are now available, they are not widely used due to their high prices. In many cases, identification still depends on documents and emblems, so the kingdom's emblem law is quite strict.

According to the emblem law, all emblems must strictly follow relevant requirements when they are made, especially on the noble emblems representing identity, the crown, shield, halberd and cassock must be complete.

Among them, the most important crown mark is the emblem used to identify the level of identity. In addition to the diamond prince representing the royal family, the five levels of titles of duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron need to use the colors corresponding to the five metals of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin in turn.

In addition, there is a robin as an emblem under the diamond crown of the royal family, and the crown emblem of the fifth-level title needs to be lined with a corresponding single feather, which means that the nobles are the important wings supporting the royal family.

Among them, the highest-level duke has five feathers, and the lowest-level baron has one feather. After inheriting the title, those who have made great contributions can add an extra feather, which is considered an extra honor.

The three-feathered bronze crown on the white-haired old man's badge proves that he belongs to the third-tier earl in the kingdom's title level, and he is an ordinary earl who has not made any achievements in his life except inheriting the title.

…

"Haha, you are so arrogant, I thought you were a big shot, but you are just an earl?"

In order to get rid of this troublesome duke title as soon as possible and avoid the investigation of the Cleanup Bureau, Leon simply went all out and smiled contemptuously at the white-haired old man.

With the intention of offending as many people as possible, and preferably offending all of them at once, so that they can make an effort to elect someone else as the duke, Leon stood up from the wheelchair despite the severe pain from his skin. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he slowly walked to the white-haired old man and raised his hand to poke the three-feathered bronze crown on his chest.

"A third-class earl, and only has the most basic three feathers... So he is a little punk?"

Little punk? Me? Little punk?

After hearing Leon's "fair" evaluation of himself, and feeling the strange looks from the nobles, the white-haired old man staggered two steps, and couldn't help but feel a surge of blood rushing to his head, and roared with his hair and beard standing up:

"You!!!"

"What do you mean you? Am I wrong?"

Fearing that his attack was not strong enough and it would be difficult to get rid of this unfortunate duke title, Leon secretly switched his badge and equipped himself with the silver-level [Elite Performer]. Then he crossed his arms and raised his head slightly, sneering with disdain:

"The third-class earl with three feathers... Oh, don't you know how worthless the feathers given by the royal family are?

You can collect taxes by trickery, give disaster relief by pretending to be serious, or even give a big gift when the princess is born, and the royal family can give you a feather. You are already so old, and there are only three feathers on the badge. What else can you be but a punk? "

"I...I..."

"What do you mean by me? If I were you, I would have cut my throat long ago!"

With the help of the silver-level [Elite Performer], Leon's handsome face showed his heartfelt disgust and contempt.

"Trust me, die early."

After reaching out and patting the sagging face of the white-haired old man, Leon leaned over and suggested sincerely:

"Looking at your full energy, you can at least continue to waste food for another 20 to 30 years. If you hang yourself today, it is estimated that you can save a lot of money for the kingdom, which is more or less a contribution.

Think about it, if the royal family knows that you have made such a great contribution, if they feel happy and reward you with a bird feather, wouldn't you no longer be a little bastard? Wouldn’t this be the best of both worlds? "

Nonsense! absurd! ! You deserve to die! ! !

After being ridiculed by this extremely insulting thing, the white-haired old man, who turned purple, was about to object, but he saw Leon's eyes.

Two points of disgust, three points of contempt, and the remaining five points are full of sincerity.

What this damn bitch said is actually true! He truly believed from the bottom of his heart that for a "foolish" noble like himself, dying immediately would be more valuable than living!

"Ho...ho..."

After receiving a sincere blow from Leon's eyes, a whole lot of scolding and even extremely vicious curses suddenly got stuck in his throat, turning into a blood pressure of over 200 in an instant, and a mouthful of sticky yellow phlegm that burned his heart and lungs. , the white-haired old man rolled his eyes and kicked his legs, and fell down on the spot.

Damn it? !

Unexpectedly, just two words were spoken, and the old man was immediately on the spot -1. Even Leon was startled and instinctively took a step back.

"You saw it! I poked him twice with my finger, but he poured it himself!"

"..."

Yes, we all saw it. You did only poke him twice with your fingers, but you just stabbed his heart with at least a thousand knives with your mouth!

Most of the nobles are shameless, at least on the surface they are shameless. They just scolded each other, and then they were stripped of their face and pointed at their noses and scolded. After two words, the old man fainted on the spot. Ward. The dozens of nobles inside immediately fell silent.

The new Lion-Hearted Duke is really a little bit generous. The white-haired old man has learned from the past. If he goes up and speaks out, he will be insulted in front of so many in-laws. What a shame. Will he survive?

After waiting for a short while, except for a few familiar nobles who called people over to carry the old man out, the entire noble group remained silent in a tacit understanding. Although no one stood up to scold Lyon anymore, they actually did. No one suggested changing to another heir, highlighting an immediate acquiescence.

Anyway, this is a noble raider from the Lane family, not from our family, and the harm will not harm me. As for the face of the nobles... I laughed. Compared with the actual benefits, the face is not worth a copper wheel!

If the successor Duke Lionheart is a shrewd and capable man, then everyone might still object. After all, the more of the Lane industry the new Duke can keep, the less he can divide up, but now...

Seeing the new Duke who chose to openly offend his in-laws at a time when the Lane family needed support the most, and could even be said to act in public, dozens of nobles couldn't help but show satisfaction in their eyes.

It's good. This kind of foolish and arrogant young man who has no city and no brains, but also looks down on his superiors and has a low temper. He is the most suitable person to succeed Duke Lionheart at the moment!

But after a month or two, when everyone has almost divided up the Ryan family's property, he will be the Duke, right?

…

There are only a few high-ranking powerful figures in the Ryan family who can have a decisive influence on the succession of the title.

Except for the old Duke who "strongly supported" Lyon, the remaining people were first killed and maimed by Bobby Lane, and then a group of people were "killed" by Lyon. The remaining people were nothing more than big cats and kittens. There are three of them, and they have either been decentralized for a long time or are old. The remaining people who have the most say are the "in-laws" in the ward.

Ignoring the strong objections of the new Duke himself, the in-laws of the Lane family didn't even spend five minutes before deciding to follow the old Duke's last wish, making the man completely black-haired and black-eyed, looking nothing like "Lane" "Leon has become the new boss of the more than 90,000 golden retrievers in the entire Ryan family.

This is... so ridiculous! It’s like child’s play!

After learning from the officer who pushed Leon into the ward how the new Duke was selected, the Minister of Defense was really excited and annoyed.

Excitedly, her daughter patted her chest and assured herself that Leon was definitely not the kind of person who would fall to the nobility. Instead of worrying that he would collude with the old aristocrats after becoming a duke, it would be better to worry that he would directly overturn the table or even collude. The gangsters came back for another bloody night and killed all the Lane family's in-laws.

If Isa's judgment is correct, the success of a "non-aristocratic" duke like him in the throne will definitely be a huge help to the princess's reform. He can have "one of his own" in the impenetrable House of Lords. ", which is equivalent to inserting a knife into the heart of the old aristocracy.

As for why I'm annoyed...

"Your Highness! These old nobles must be dealt with as soon as possible!"

Looking at the calm-looking princess behind the desk, the old man couldn't help but said angrily:

"The Lane family's sphere of influence is in the Ministry of Highways and the Military Department, mainly in the two areas of public facilities and arms procurement. However, the core power of these two such important departments is completely controlled by the old aristocrats, and they can be controlled almost without appointment. How can this be done privately! You can only give your approval to the person they selected?"

"Well, I will, but not now."

The princess behind the desk looked through the files of the "new Duke" and said calmly:

“These old nobles are the carrion parasitic on the kingdom and must be dug out, but if they are not dug out properly, the wounds will bleed.

Back then, my father had ousted three finance ministers in a row and eliminated many small and medium-sized families in an attempt to personally control the kingdom's financial power. Then he ushered in an extremely fierce counterattack.

The result of their contest was that the entire kingdom's finances were at a standstill for half a year, and a total deficit of nearly 600 billion was revealed one after another, almost completely ruined. The Great Patriotic War six years ago could not even make up for the military expenditures. The deficit has been piling up to this day. "

When she said this, she stopped, picked up the pen and marked something on Lyon's file, and then continued:

"So you must not be hasty when doing this kind of thing. If the price of cutting out the old nobles is to temporarily shut down the country, it will only cause a greater disaster, so we must do it step by step.

And the current situation is actually just right, especially for our new Lion-Hearted Duke...well...do you know what he once said? "

Looking at the place circled with a pen on the file, the princess recited in a calm voice:

"As for the royal family and nobles, they are just a bunch of lice growing in their crotches. Once they suck blood and it hurts, they should be caught and pinched to death!"

? ! ! !

Completely unaware of Lyon's status as a "rebellious party", the Minister of Defense was shocked when he heard what the princess said.

However, when he was about to say something, he saw that the corners of the princess's usually steady mouth turned upward slightly.

"Although the metaphor is a bit bad, it is quite correct."

Not angry at being compared to lice in her crotch, the princess closed Lyon's file, opened the report on the attack on the prince, and then said with a smile:

"Lion-Hearted Duke...well...Lice-Hearted Duke...it's quite ironic if you think about it.

This Duke, who regards the nobles and the royal family as lice, has now become one of the strongest lice in the country. With the ability to lie on the kingdom and suck blood, I would like to see what he will do...

Oh, right, look at this. "

After handing over the report in her hand, the princess, who usually frowned, gave a rare chuckle, then stretched out her finger to tap the records on the report, and recounted with great interest:

"The earl who was scolded and fainted on the spot actually put a cabbage in his bedroom, and then threatened the public that Leon Lane's Lion-Hearted Duke would definitely rot faster than his cabbage!"

Cabbage...meaning up to two or three months?

After taking the report and reading it, the Minister of Defense couldn't help but frown, remembering the way his daughter's eyes lit up when she mentioned Lyon.

"Your Highness Veronica..."

The Minister of Defense sighed inwardly, and then took the initiative to ask:

"How long do you think he can last as a duke? Will the Lane family be liquidated after it is divided up?"

"Liquidation will not happen."

The princess thought for a while, shook her head and said:

"Except for the earl whom he offended to death, other nobles will not care about an empty Duke, but the Lane family may not live longer than that cabbage.

After losing members of the military and road administration, the Lane family's influence in the military was completely at its end. In politics, there was only one seat left in the House of Lords. There seemed to be something in business, but they all relied on the military. The orders from the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Highways were hard-topped.

The Lane family currently occupies no one in the military, government, or business sectors. What kind of person does it take to hold up this stall that is about to collapse? "
