Chapter 11 Lan Peiqi Family

More than two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather in November has been a little cold. The slight north wind blew the fallen leaves in front of the door, making Lan Peiqi's residence look deserted.

"Odo, how long has it been since Bishop Lan Peiqi came?" Sloc asked that the archbishop still didn't seem to have much energy after taking a nap.

"Dear Archbishop, Bishop Lampechi hasn't reported to the Pope's Hall for three months. You can imagine how high the tax statements about the Holy City have been piled up." The servant lowered his head and said humbly, "His Majesty is vaguely dissatisfied. That day, he talked to Archbishop Mues about Lan Peiqi's illness, saying that it was good or bad. When will it end?"

"Oh?" Sloc didn't expect such a thing. His eyes suddenly lit up and he continued to ask, "Who taught you this, boy who chewed his tongue? What else did the Pope say? The tone seems to be reproachful, but most of them are proud.

"I don't know the specific thing, or did you ask your subordinates to pay more attention. I know a maid of the Corse Palace, so I didn't know there was such a dialogue."

"I'm afraid I met the maid in **, right?" Sloc laughed as he walked to the door.

"Your Excellency is clear, and my subordinates only have such hobbies, hey hey hey." Odo** smiled and rubbed his hands to follow behind.

"Go and call Pastor Domingo and call the bishops of the tax office. I'm going to hold a meeting." Slock ordered, "Also, I sent 100 gold coins to Bishop Lan Peiqi, saying that I personally rewarded him for his hard work over the years."

"High, adults are really high!" Odo understood and flattered, "If Lan Peiqi doesn't die this time, I'm afraid she will have to reduce her life expectancy for half a year. Hey hey."

In the afternoon, the bishop's palace welcomed distinguished guests. Ministers from the papal hall of the Holy Empire came here with guards, and the originally deserted bishop's residence became lively.

The minister who came to read the order did not take a seat and went straight to the back hall. In front of Bishop Lan Peiqi on the sickbed, he read the personnel order of the Pope's Hall: "After discussion at the meeting, Sloc, the Archbishop of Finance of the Empire, decided that Bishop Lampeki Law Blair would stop his duties in the Holy City Tax Department and stay at home. After getting better, report to the choir in the Holy City, and all the work of the Holy City Tax Department will be temporarily handled by Pastor Domingo. Then, the minister closed the order, put it on Bishop Lan Peiqi's bedside, and continued, "Archbishop Sloc will make you recover from your illness. He personally gave you 100 gold coins to thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, the minister turned back out of the room, went straight to the front hall, went out of the door, turned over his horse, and left with the dust of the guard. He didn't even return his head along the way. No matter what the two priests and uncles of Arcado asked, they did not say anything superfluous.

Bishop Lan Peiqi vomited a mouthful of blood after the minister left. He worked for the Holy Empire for 23 years. At the age of 23 years, he has been the chief of the Holy City Tax Department for 11 years. Now he is seriously ill and can't continue to work for God. The Pope's Office unexpectedly There is not even a formal commendation, so he is anxious and his condition is aggravated.

How could he think of it? The Pope himself had a generous reward for him, but because his beloved grandson Arnold was also sick recently, the reward was forgotten by the Pope, and things were suppressed, and the tax department was normally similar to a pension. The praise was also forgotten because of the personal resentment of Slock, the immediate boss.

As for the 100 gold coins that are better than nothing, the amount is small but ironic, which makes people extremely angry. Even so, they are evenly divided by Arcado's two priests and uncles.

Now the old Rampei is already a dispensable person for the Holy Empire. Domingo has been confirmed to be promoted to bishop during the next promotion. Now the pronoun before his post will soon be removed. Even if Bishop Rampei recovers, he can only go to the choir in the Pope's Hall to retire. There is no real power, just an institution that prays with the Pope on weekends.

Lan Peiqi's family, which is far away from the peak of power, now even has few guests. Occasionally, a few of them are also good nobles, most of whom are businessmen, and most of them are barons and viscounts. The Violet Count offered up to Prince Chris in early October and donated a large amount of gold coins to the prince, so the prince was able to present a gold-plated papal robe on the Pope's birthday, which made the Pope very satisfied. Therefore, according to the usual practice, the successful Count Violet was awarded on the Pope's birthday on October 30. He was given the title of Marquis, and since the day Violet became Marquis, he has never visited Bishop Lan Peiqi.

Although Arcado's two uncles have official positions, the two priest-level officials obviously can't provoke the aura of bishop. Although Arcado's two brothers are mixed with the grandson Arnold, they are only gods and do not have a half official position.

The so-called officials of the tax department who often visit Arkado's house seem to have evaporated. Since then, they have never asked about Bishop Rampei's condition, and their friends who usually exchange cups with Arcado's two uncles no longer appear frequently. The two uncles were busy amiing the Pope's eldest son Chris and wanted to catch the last bus to his future majesty.

Because Arnold was also ill, Arcado's two brothers also lost their biggest backer. They had nothing to do, taking a few little ones all day, busy gambling in gambling outside three streets.

On the contrary, Arcado's father is still drunk. The difference is that the number of slaves who come to ask for wine money is gradually increasing, and he looks like an annoying face to repay debts.

Acudo, who had nothing to do, suddenly found that a family that thrived on Bishop Lan Peggy Law Blair, at this time, no one had taken good care of old Blair. Of course, Arcado will not rush to show his endless love for his grandfather at this time. He doesn't want to go and is too lazy to go.

In recent months, the decline of the Lan Peiqi family is comparable to the speed of raindrops, and the coolness of the world has been perfectly reflected in this gradually declining family.

Acardo has been very bored recently. Lin Ria has been locked at home by her father and has asked for leave for more than two months. In the past two months, Arcado has relied on a magic array note borrowed from Lin Ria in advance to study and has made little progress. Moreover, he has not seen Lin Rhea for a long time, which makes Akado, who lacks friends a little frustrated.

Acado tried to find Lin Ria, but was blocked by Lin Feng in the earl's mansion. Now Lan Peiqi's family is swaying. Count Lin Feng, a little count who never provokes trouble easily, naturally dares not to receive Arcado easily. This is the ** period. In case it is provoked, it should not be provoked. The existence is undoubtedly a disaster for a traitorous nobles like him.

The only thing that gratified Arcado is that the annoying John has never been in trouble with him since Creation Day, which made Arcado celebrate a little in his heart. After all, this kind of thing is not like the sun rising and happens every day.
