My British Empire

"Big thing? What's the matter?" Field asked loudly, looking at his neighbor, Pete, who was always known as a nice guy.

Sensitive, he realized that this news was very important to him.

"Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

"Your family's field was occupied by Baron Runier, and a monument was erected, saying it belonged to their family! Go and see it!"

Listening to the brief explanation of the good old Pete, Field's face suddenly showed worry. It is too unusual for a baron to send someone to his own field.

In this way, Field lifted the little guy who was playing with mud in front of his house, put it in the room, and shouted to the back room:

"I have to go out beforehand, you take care of my son!"

"Hey—" There was a reply from inside the house.

"Come on, Pete, what's going on, how could Baron Runier pay attention to himself?"

While walking, Field asked the good old man Pete beside him, and he was puzzled.

"I'm not too sure. It seems that the baron has taken a fancy to your field! After all, your land is by the river, and the grain you grow every year is much more than ordinary land!"

The good old Pete pondered for a while, and then whispered in an envious, jealous tone, he also wanted to own such a good land, but what a pity!

Well, at that time, I wish I had joined the army too! What a land!

In less than ten minutes, Field came to his own land, and he saw such a scene:

On the broad and fertile land, not far away, a small river is flowing, and the neatly divided cultivated land is like a chessboard, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

However, to the detriment of the scenery, the baron's tyrannical and hated butler is standing proudly in the middle of the land, confronting some strong men with weapons in their hands, and there seems to be a fierce conflict.

At this time, the fertile land on the land by the river had already been nailed up by the servants of the baron's family to take away the ownership of the land, even Field's own family was no exception.

"This place originally belonged to our baron, you are just a group of thieves!"

Facing this group of men with weapons in their hands, the butler was not at all afraid. Instead, with his big belly on his hips, he looked at the muddy legs in front of him, and yelled directly without hesitation and shamelessness.

It seems to prove that the loud voice is the party of justice.

While the crowd watching pointed and talked a lot, there were very few voices of support.

After all, he was dressed in high-grade sackcloth, and he was well-dressed. Compared with the land-lost people, he seemed to be the difference between a rich man and a beggar.

In terms of temperament, it is superior.

His arrogance and domineering made the people around who had usurped the land angry, but everyone had deep scruples, after all, he was a member of the baron's family.

"How ridiculous, this is the land we bought with our lives, and it was rewarded to us by His Majesty the King. When did you become a baron master?"

Seeing this, Field strode forward without hesitation, and loudly refuted his flawed reasons with his own sonorous voice.

"Captain—" "Captain, you are here!"

A few tall and strong men who were filled with indignation, saw Dan Field coming, and immediately seemed to have a backbone, embraced him, and instantly became stronger.

"Well, calm down, everyone, I'll take care of it!" Field showed a comforting smile, then strode forward, facing the domineering butler directly.

They joined the army together and went to Brittany. As a small captain, they managed about 20 people. Field's prestige has always been very high.

"My lord butler, the land here was rewarded by His Majesty the King to us soldiers who have done meritorious service. When did it belong to Baron Runier?"

After all, Field was a soldier. In Brittany, he had seen many muddy lords, and not many people who ransacked their homes. How could such a small amount of power scare him.

Therefore, his voice is also exceptionally loud.

"Hmph! Fidel, don't think that you can act presumptuously in front of me because you have been a soldier!"

The fat butler glanced at Field, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and then yelled loudly: "I'm here on behalf of Lord Baron!"

"I understand, but the baron can't snatch our land in broad daylight!"

Field glanced at the butler with cold eyes, and dismissed his scolding.

"The land here was donated to the monastery by the baron, and it is now taken back, which is legal!"

The butler puffed out his chest and spoke confidently.

"Hehe, a few years ago, this place belonged to the royal family, and then Her Majesty Mary gave it to us, so what does it have to do with the baron's family?"

Field dismissed such reasons as too far-fetched.

As a result, the two argued endlessly, and time passed quietly.

In the end, Field did something that shocked the whole of Scotland and even the United Kingdom:

He took Baron Runier to Crown Court.

Because of the agreement signed in the conquest of Scotland many years ago, cases over ten shillings should be reviewed by the royal court, and the nobles have no right to interfere.

But this time, the value of dozens of acres of good arable land involved has already exceeded ten shillings.

The occurrence of this case has excited the judges of the Scottish Royal Court. This will be a landmark case, and it will change the embarrassing position of the Scottish Royal Court in one fell swoop.

Although His Majesty Edward signed the agreement in Edinburgh, he required that cases of more than ten shillings be reviewed by the royal court to strengthen the royal power.

However, those Scots, who are afraid of the power of the nobility, often change the big to the small, and blatantly change cases of tens of hundreds of pounds to less than ten shillings. This makes the royal court, which makes money from cases, over time Many years of hard times.

And if there is this iconic case, it will break such an embarrassing situation in one fell swoop, so that the royal court will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In this way, why worry about not making money?

At this time, Edinburgh lost its voice.

"Not good—" Many noble children trembled suddenly.

"Great!" The ruling lord William Selsey finally realized that his opportunity had come when he heard this.

"Start with the law and join hands with the royal court to first take away the judicial power from the nobles; then gradually deprive the nobles of their control over the villagers and abolish serfdom; strengthen the authority of local governments; break the monopoly of the nobles on the countryside."

All of a sudden, Scotland, which made William Selsey confused, immediately had a clear policy goal.

Liberate the countryside and serfs, and tighten the rights of the nobility.

This is what Scotland needs right now.
