Chapter 840: The Count of Monte Cristo
When Chen Feng returned to the castle, ten kilometers away, there was a manor called Wuthering Heights, which was the most famous mountain villa in the area.
Wuthering Heights is famous because the owner of the estate is the Count of Monte Cristo.
The Count of Monte Cristo was well-known in the local area, and he cared deeply about the tenants under his jurisdiction, and when the harvest was bad, he offered to reduce a certain amount of rent.
At the same time, he also actively improved the living and travel conditions here, and built a nursing home.
This series of acts of kindness has given him a high reputation among the residents.
The only thing that is annoying is that his son, who is uneducated and unskilled, has a very unscrupulous man, and often bullies the local inhabitants in the name of the Count of Monte Cristo, and is a completely different person from his father.
Behind his back, the inhabitants often talked about how the Count of Monte Cristo had given birth to such a son, who did not look like his son at all.
Of course, the Count of Monte Cristo knew this, and this son was very uncontentious, and let him go out to practice, but often brought back a lot of trouble, which the Count of Monte Cristo was very dissatisfied with.
Recently, I heard that his unruly son had set his sights on a widow, Lady Mona, and often harassed each other, and was ready to bring him back to the castle.
This made the Count of Monte Cristo more and more dissatisfied!
At this moment, in the practice room of the Count of Monte Cristo, the Count of Monte Cristo is holding a Western sword, standing in front of the mirror very chicly, he is as cold as the Western sword in his hand.
The Count of Monte Cristo was a handsome, tall man, and although he was now nearly 40 years old, he looked more and more manly.
He was a swordsman who excelled in Western swordsmanship.
Western swords were very popular among the nobility and were a status symbol.
Only the nobility would wear it.
And the Count of Monte Cristo's sword was used to kill!
None of the local residents knew the true identity of the Count of Monte Cristo, who once killed countless strong men with a Western sword before reaching the Count's position.
In addition to being good at Western swords, he is proficient in shooting.
Shooting is like his fencing, if you don't shoot, you will be killed with one hit!
Therefore, in the eyes of the inhabitants, the Count of Monte Cristo and the real Count of Monte Cristo are two completely different people.
Brush!
A chill struck the air, a flash of light flashed, and the glass in front of the Count of Monte Cristo began to crack, and he had already collected his sword.
His movements are so fast that they are impossible to catch with the naked eye.
"Butler, change the mirror."
"Yes!"
The old butler, who had been waiting outside the door, respectfully agreed.
"Young Master, where is it?" The Count of Monte Cristo suddenly shouted.
"Back to the Earl, the Viscount went out an hour ago." The butler bowed and replied.
"When he comes back, let him come to the study to find me."
"Yes, Lord Count."
Half an hour later, the butler hurriedly walked into the study of the Count of Monte Cristo, and said in horror: "Lord Count, I have just received the news that Lord Viscount has been killed in the woods 10 kilometers southwest of the city. ”
"What!"
The Count of Monte Cristo stood up abruptly.
"Where's the body?"
"Still in the woods, keep it as it is, and wait for the Earl to deal with it." The old butler said in horror.
"Let's go!"
The Count of Monte Cristo strode out of the study, and the butler did not notice the look of excitement in the corner of the Count's eyes.
Twenty minutes later, the Count of Monte Cristo came to the woods and crouched in front of his son's body.
My son died a terrible death!
Very miserable!
The Count of Monte Cristo carefully examined his son's body, was pierced in the throat with a sharp weapon, and was killed with one stroke, and there were no other attacks on his body.
When the Count of Monte Cristo examined the corpse's hand, he saw two tokens in his hand.
The Count of Monte Cristo picked up the token, glanced at it, and then went to examine the bodies of three of his son's retinue, which were also fatally struck by a sharp weapon.
It's two masters who kill people!
The Count of Monte Cristo was a master of the sword, and the wounds of the corpse could be easily judged, and the opponent's attack was extremely fast and accurate.
He examined the traces around him again, and there was a strange look in the corners of his eyes, and there was no sadness in his eyes, but joy.
The Count of Monte Cristo once had a dark history, and when he was young, had a very beautiful fiancée, and they were both ready to get married.
However, a month before the wedding, his fiancée betrayed him.
And the person she betrayed turned out to be her friend!
A good friend of the Count of Monte Cristo married his fiancée.
What a shame it was, and later, the Count of Monte Cristo rose to prominence, became a high man, became an Earl!
He challenged his friend to kill his friend, then imprisoned the woman who had betrayed him, and had her give birth to the child in her womb, the son of the Count of Monte Cristo.
This son was his nominal son, not his real son, but the son of a friend whom he had killed.
At this moment, he was released instead.
"Haha!"
The Count of Monte Cristo looked up and laughed.
The butler behind him was stunned, what was wrong with the Earl?
"Let's go!"
The Count of Monte Cristo couldn't wait to return to the castle and go straight to the room where the woman he had imprisoned.
He wants to tell this woman the exciting news as soon as possible, and tell her that your precious son is dead!
Bang!
The door was pushed open with a bang, and the Count of Monte Cristo excitedly entered the room.
A middle-aged lady hurriedly got up and saluted the Count of Monte Cristo.
The Count of Monte Cristo stared at the noblewoman and said, "Your son died, not by me, but at the hands of others, I have to be very grateful to him, from today onwards, I can feed horses, hunt, make new friends, this is the life I want." ”
The noble lady was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground, and said with a sob: "Lord Earl, please avenge my son." ”
The Count of Monte Cristo looked up and laughed, "Revenge? He is not my son, he is a wild seed, and I let him live until now to wait for this day. ”
"This is what happened to you when you betrayed me, and now you want to avenge your son?"
The Count of Monte Cristo never forgot that experience, especially when he saw the enemy's children calling their father every day, he kept sneering in his heart.
This is his punishment for the woman who betrayed him!
The noble lady knelt on the ground in despair and said with sobs: "He called your father for twenty years, can't you avenge it?" ”
"After so many years, has the hatred in your heart not been resolved? If you want to punish me, I will admit it. ”
The Count of Monte Cristo did not glance at the woman kneeling on the ground, and walked away.
The Count of Monte Cristo didn't know why the other party wanted to kill, but it didn't matter.
After coming out, the Count of Monte Cristo held the medal in his hand and said to the butler in a deep voice: "Investigate the forces behind the two tokens, and second, prepare a gift, I will go to visit the new Count." ”
