Volu 3 Chapter 159 Eliminate and grant
Hearing this judgent, Xu Yi wasn’t surprised at all, rather he revealed a happy smile.
Seeing Xu Yi’s reaction, Count Basa and the surrounding parliant mbers were stunned.
Count Basa knit his brows and roared, “What are you smiling at? This is the sacred kingdom parliant, you cannot be this audacious!”
Xu Yi shook his head, “I just find it a bit funny. It’s that hard to obtain the title of a noble, but it’s this simple to get rid of it. Just a few words from the vice president and you can directly eliminate my status. He, he, don’t you think that this is too careless?”
Count Basa’s expression fell, “This is the decision the parliant ca to after careful deliberation. To let you participate in this senate was to give you a chance to explain yourself, but you gave no argunt at all. Then do you think that there is a problem with this punishnt?”
“No, no, no, I don’t think there’s a problem at all, I just really want to laugh.” Xu Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, “When i was told I was requested to participate, I was a bit nervous, but I never thought that it would be this simple and the result had already been decided. If I knew it was like this, I wouldn’t have co. This is simply a waste of ti.”
“Audacious!” Count Basa angrily roared, “Xu Yi, I’m warning you once again, this is the sacred Royal Parliant, you can’t be this audacious here!”
Xu Yi gave a shrug, “Lord vice president, you seed to have forgotten sothing. You just said that the parliant has decided to strip of my status as a noble, so I am only a commoner now. Since I am a commoner, why does the Royal Parliant care about ? If the lord vice president is discontent about sothing, you can make an appeal to the kingdom parliant or the public security departnt.”
Count Basa pointed his finger at Xu Yi and his body was trembling in rage, but he couldn’t find a single problem with Xu Yi’s words.
Because according to the laws of the kingdom parliant, although the Royal Parliant had the rights to manage nobles, that was only limited to nobles. They didn’t have any rights to take care of commoners because that was managed by the kingdom parliant.
Xu Yi was right. Since he was no longer a noble and was now a commoner, it ant that the Royal Parliant couldn’t control or limit him at all.
If Xu Yi was a normal commoner, the Royal Parliant could find ten thousand ways to deal with him.
But Xu Yi wasn’t a normal commoner and there were powerful people standing behind him. The Royal Parliant wanted to deal with Xu Yi because of a few people’s orders, so they had to use this Royal Senate and couldn’t make a mistake in their procedure at all.
The other mbers all looked at Xu Yi in a daze.
They thought that Xu Yi would argue for himself and strongly oppose the decision of the Royal Parliant.
But they never thought that Xu Yi wouldn’t argue at all. After hearing the decision of Count Basa, he didn’t show any signs of being agitated, rather he strangely accepted this.
Actually they didn’t plan on eliminating Xu Yi’s status as a noble because it was a very serious matter, the Royal Parliant couldn’t make this decision so easily.
They thought that if Xu Yi wanted to explain, they could lower Xu Yi’s punishnt and achieve their real goal. They wanted to weaken the benefits Xu Yi enjoyed as a noble, for example, his territory, his taxes, his policy benefits, and other advantages to weaken the Frestech Chamber of Comrce.
Only Xu Yi didn’t explain and just accepted this judgent, as well as acting like this towards Count Basa. Even if Count Basa wanted to carry out his original plan and take back the decision of revoking Xu Yi’s title, he couldn’t say it now.
Watching Xu Yi stand there with a faint smile, Count Basa and the other mbers didn’t speak for a while.
Xu Yi looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him in a daze, so he said with a faint smile, “Is there nothing else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving then. I have many other things to take care of, I can’t just stay here and play with you.”
When he was about to turn, Count Basa angrily shouted, “Stop!”
Xu Yi stopped halfway and turned back to look at Count Basa with a frown, “Lord vice president, please note your deanor as a noble. Shouting at a commoner like this, isn’t it too disrespectful?”
Count Basa almost choked on his spit. After coughing a few tis, he said while panting, “You can’t leave, there’s sothing else to take care of.”
“Oh?”
Count Basa cald down and took out a bunch of docunts that had already been prepared from under the table.
Now that you’ve lost your status as a noble, the rights you enjoyed as a noble must be taken back. This is the related docunt, you must sign them before leaving.”
Xu Yi took the docunts from the hands of a young mber and looked it over. He found that the docunts were related to taking back the private territory Xu Yi had as a viscount.
Xu Yi wasn’t surprised by this, but Xu Yi raised a few objections to the details of this.
“Lord vice president, according to this «Reclaiming Territory Contract», wouldn’t I have to give back all of the Falling Rain Valley outside Banta City? Then what about our Frestech Chamber of Comrce’s factories and other facilities in the Falling Rain Valley?”
Hearing this question, Count Basa and the other mbers let out a sigh of relief.
Count Basa revealed a confident smile, “How these facilities are handled is unrelated to the parliant. If the Frestech Chamber of Comrce can’t turn over the territory in ti, everything in the territory would be taken along with it.”
“This ans that the parliant is planning on chasing our Frestech Chamber of Comrce out of the Falling Rain Valley?” Xu Yi asked.
Count Basa revealed a strong appearance, “Xu Yi, I’m warning you, if you slander the parliant, I guarantee the kingdom parliant will take care of you.”
Xu Yi gave a sigh, thinking that this vice president was clearly shaless, it was no use talking to him.
After reading the contents of the docunt, Xu Yi casually tossed it to the side and said to Count Basa with a serious look, “Lord vice president, I must remind you that in the Falling Rain Valley and the surrounding areas, my personal territory isn’t that big. Most of the land is directly rented from the royal family. Although the Royal Parliant can take away my noble status and take back my land, they have no right to ddle in the land that is rented.”
Count Basa gave a cold snort, “You think that the parliant would make such a decision without verifying it? The land the Frestech Chamber of Comrce rents from the royal family will not be taken care of, but you must turn over the ten square kiloters of land you have in the Falling Rain Valley!”
Xu Yi revealed a shocked look, “Lord vice president, who told you that I had close to ten square kiloters of personal land? I am only a viscount, how could I have such a large piece of private territory? You must have made a mistake!”
Count Basa waved his hand, “Don’t try to lie, the parliant has an archive of your personal territory, how could it be wrong.”
“No, no, no, I only applied for several thousand square ters of land from his majesty, just to build a private manor. How could I request land that was close to ten square kiloters. Even if I did ask for it, his majesty clearly wouldn’t give it to . So you must have made a mistake. I ask the lord vice president to confer with his majesty if you don’t believe.”
Count Basa gave a laugh and was sure that Xu Yi was only putting up a last minute struggle, so he said in a cold voice, “No need, the parliant only needs to make a concise decision based on the material we have. Then again, we can’t disturb his majesty for such a small matter......”
When he was half finished, Count Basa suddenly stopped as he looked behind Xu Yi like he had seen a ghost.
The other mbers all had the sa expression, looking behind Xu Yi in a daze.
Xu Yi turned around and saw a middle aged man who didn’t look that special or talk slowly walk into the hall.
The middle aged man nodded at Xu Yi before asking Count Basa, “Vice president Basa, has Xu Yi’s senate ended? Has the result co out?”
Count Basa’s expression was very ugly and he hesitated a long ti before replying, “It’s already over and as for the result.....” Count Basa looked at Xu Yi and his expression beca even more ugly, “Viscount Xu Yi has gone against the rules of the parliant, so he has lost his title as a noble.”
The middle aged man gave a nod before turning to Xu Yi to ask, “Chairman Xu, are you now a commoner?”
“Yes.”
Xu Yi searched his mind and he seed to have rembered seeing this middle aged man when he t the king.
Based on how respectful Count Basa and the other mbers were, it was clear that this middle aged man who didn’t seem special was very likely a close confidant of the king.
“Very good, since chairman Xu is already a commoner, then I’ll read the decrees his majesty has for you.”
The middle aged man took a decree with the king’s seal from his chest and Count Basa’s heart skipped a beat as his face turned dark.
“In light of Xu Yi’s contributions to the kingdom, his majesty has decided to promote commoner Xu Yi to the title of baron for his achievents.”
While Xu Yi was stunned, the middle aged man took out another order and continued to read.
“In light of Xu Yi’s contributions to the kingdom, his majesty has decided to promote Baron Xu Yi to the title of viscount for his achievents.”
Other than having different titles, there was nothing else special about these decrees.
It could be seen that the middle aged man was already prepared and specially ca for Xu Yi.
Count Basa on the side heard these two decrees and his face looked very ugly, “This.....Manager Dema, Xu Yi was just stripped of his titles by our Royal Parliant and his majesty is promoting him back to a noble at this ti......This isn’t that good, right?”
Dema looked at him and calmly said, “I don’t care about this, I was ordered by his majesty to co. His majesty said that as long as Xu Yi was stripped of his title, I would read these two orders. As well, these two orders will always be in effect.”
Hearing Dema’s words, Count Basa and the surrounding mbers all had faces like dying embers.
