Chapter 159 Deprivation and Grant

When Xu Yi heard the verdict, he did not show any surprise, but instead smiled happily.

Seeing Xu Yi's reaction, the Earl of Barcelona and more than a dozen MPs around were stunned.

The Earl of Barca frowned and shouted: "What are you laughing at? This is the sacred kingdom noble parliament, you are not allowed to be so presumptuous!"

Xu Yi shook his head: "I'm just a little funny. It's so difficult to obtain the status of a noble, but it's so simple to be deprived of the status of a noble. It turns out that you can just ask a few questions from the Deputy Speaker to announce the deprivation of my aristocratic identity. Haha, don't you think this is too hasty?"

The Earl of Barcelona looked calm: "This is the decision of the parliament after careful consideration. Letting you join the parliament only gives you a chance to defend yourself. However, you did not make any defense just now and completely admitted that you violated the regulations. So do you think there is still a problem with getting such punishment?"

"No, no, no, I don't think there is something wrong. I just really want to laugh." Xu Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "When I was notified before, I was a little nervous, but I didn't expect that the process was so simple, and even the result had been decided long ago. If I had known this was the case, I might as well stop coming. It would have been a waste of time."

"Rare!" Earl of Barca shouted angrily. "Xu Yi, I warn you again that this is the sacred noble parliament, and you are not allowed to be so presumptuous here!"

Xu Yi shrugged: "Sir Deputy Speaker, you seem to have forgotten something. You said just now that the Parliament has decided to deprive me of my noble status, so I am now a civilian. Since I am a civilian, the noble Parliament cannot control me, right? If you have any dissatisfaction with me, please go to the Kingdom Parliament or the Public Security Bureau to file a complaint."

The Earl of Barcelona pointed at Xu Yi and was so angry that he trembled all over, but he couldn't find out any of the problems in Xu Yi's words.

Because according to the provisions of the Kingdom Parliament, although the Kingdom Parliament has all management power over the nobles, it is only limited to the nobles and has no right to deal with the civilians, because this is the management scope of the Kingdom Parliament.

Xu Yi was right. Since he had been deprived of his noble status by the noble parliament and became a civilian again, it means that the noble parliament no longer has the power to manage and restrict him.

It would be fine if Xu was an ordinary civilian, but the noble council could naturally find ten thousand ways to deal with him with its own power.

But Xu Yi is not an ordinary civilian. On the contrary, there are a bunch of powerful figures behind him. So when the noble council wants to deal with Xu Yi under the instructions of some people, he must first deliberately create a council to come up with, at least not reveal any mistakes in the surface procedures.

The other congressmen here were also stunned when they looked at Xu Yi.

They thought Xu Yi would argue with reason for his deprivation of the aristocratic status and strongly opposed the resolution of the aristocratic parliament.

However, Xu Yi did not expect that from beginning to end, he did not mean to deny the excuse. After hearing the verdict of the Earl of Barcelona, ​​he did not express any excitement. He actually expressed his acceptance in an extremely calm manner.

In fact, their original intention was not to directly deprive Xu Yi of his noble status, because directly depriving him of his noble status is actually a great influence. The noble parliament would not easily make such a resolution.

Their original plan was to hope that Xu Yi would make some excuses for himself, and then they could follow the flow and reduce the punishment for Xu Yi to achieve their real goal - to weaken some of the benefits that Xu Yi gained through his aristocratic status, such as territory, tax reductions, policy preferentials, etc., indirectly weaken the New Air Chamber of Commerce.

However, Xu Yi did not make any excuses now and accepted the resolution directly and put forward such an attitude towards the Earl of Barcelona. Even if the Earl of Barcelona wants to take back the resolution to deprive Xu Yi of the noble status as the original plan, he has no way to say it.

Looking at Xu Yi standing in the middle of the venue with a smile on his face, the Earl of Barcelona and other members of the parliament could not speak for a moment.

Xu Yi looked around and saw everyone staring at him blankly. He smiled and said, "Is it okay? If it's okay, then I will say goodbye. I still have a lot of things to be busy with, so I won't play with you here."

Just as he was about to turn around, the Count of Barcelona roared: "Stop!"

Xu Yi stopped and turned halfway, turned his face and frowned at the Earl of Barcelona: "Sir, please pay attention to your noble demeanor. Don't you feel too rude to a civilian who shouts like this?"

The Earl of Barcelona almost choked to death by a mouthful of saliva. He coughed hard for a few times in anger, and then panted: "You can't leave yet, there are still some procedures to go through."

"oh?"

The Earl of Barcelona calmed down and took out a bunch of documents that had obviously been prepared from under the table.

"Because you have been deprived of your noble status, some of the privileges you enjoyed as a noble should also be taken back. Here are some related documents that you must sign before you can leave."

Xu Yi took the documents from a young congressman who sent them, and roughly looked through them, and found that it was some privileges about reclaiming Xu Yi's private territory when he was a viscount.

Xu Yi was not surprised by this processing, but Xu Yi raised objections to some details on these documents.

"Sir Deputy Speaker, according to the "Private Territory Recycling Agreement", wouldn't I re-pay the entire Luoyu Valley area outside Bangta City? What should we do with the factories and various other facilities in the Luoyu Valley area of ​​our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

Hearing this question, the Earl of Barcelona and other members of parliament around seemed to be relieved.

The Earl of Barcelona showed a smug smile on his face and said, "How to deal with those factories and other related facilities has nothing to do with the parliament. If the New Air Chamber of Commerce cannot hand over the territory within the specified time, then according to the regulations, everything in the territory will be forcibly handed over with the territory."

"In other words, is the Parliament planning to completely drive our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce out of the Luoyu Valley?" Xu Yi asked.

The Earl of Barca looked righteous and upright: "Xu Yi, I warn you. You are a slander against the parliament. I reserve the right to file a complaint against you to the Parliament of the Kingdom."

Xu Yi said, thinking that the deputy speaker was obviously shameless. It was meaningless to say anything more to him.

After reading the contents of these documents, Xu Yi threw the documents aside casually and said to the Earl of Barcelona seriously: "Sir, Deputy Speaker, I think I must remind you. The Luoyu Valley, including the areas around Luoyu Valley, actually belongs to me, is not large, and the other most important parts are directly rented from the royal family. Although the noble parliament can deprive me of my aristocratic status and confiscate my private territory, the noble parliament has no right to intervene in these rented lands."

The Earl of Barcelona snorted coldly: "Do you think the parliament will make this resolution without finding out? Of course, the parliament will not clear the part of the land leased by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the royal family, but you must hand over the private territory of nearly ten square kilometers in Luoyu Valley!"

Xu Yi looked surprised: "Sir Deputy Speaker, who told you that I actually own a private territory of nearly ten square kilometers? I am just a viscount, how could I own such a large private territory? You must have something wrong!"

The Earl of Barcelona waved his hand: "Don't mess around, your private territory is archived in the parliament, how could you make a mistake?"

"No, no, no, I just applied for a private territory of up to a few thousand square meters from His Majesty the King, just to build a private manor to live in. How could I ask for a place as big as ten square kilometers? Even if I ask, His Majesty the King obviously cannot give it to me. So you must have made a mistake. If you don't believe it, please ask the Deputy Speaker to verify with His Majesty the King."

The Earl of Barcelona smiled and determined that Xu Yi was struggling dyingly, and said coldly: "No need, the parliament will only make a decision based on the information in the parliament. Besides, why do you disturb the king because of this small matter now..."

Halfway through the words, the Earl of Barcelona suddenly stopped, with a look of ghosting, staring straight behind Xu Yi.

The expressions on the other congressmen's faces were equally wonderful, and they all stared blankly behind Xu Yi.

Xu Yi turned around and saw a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, not tall figure, and who looked about forty years slowly walked into the side hall.

The middle-aged man nodded to Xu Yi, then turned to the Earl of Barcelona and asked, "Barcelona Deputy Speaker, has Xu Yi's parliament ended? Is the result coming out?"

The Earl of Barcelona's face became extremely ugly. He hesitated for a long time before answering: "It's over, as for the result..." The Earl of Barcelona glanced at Xu Yi, and his face became even more ugly. "Virgin Xu Yi has deprived him of his noble status in accordance with the regulations because he deliberately violated the relevant regulations of the parliament."

The middle-aged man nodded and turned around and asked Xu Yi: "President Xu, are you already a civilian now?"

"Yes."

Xu Yi thought about it in his mind, and suddenly thought that when he met His Majesty the King, he seemed to have seen this middle-aged man in the palace.

The respectful attitude of the MPs such as the Earl of Barcelona to treat him shows that this middle-aged man who seems to be nothing special is very likely to be the confidant of His Majesty the King in the palace.

"Very good, since you are already a civilian, then I will now read to you the appointment of His Majesty the King."

Seeing the middle-aged man take out a command book with the seal of His Majesty the King from his arms, Earl Bartha's heart moved and his face instantly became extremely gloomy.

"In view of Xu Yi's great contribution to the kingdom, His Majesty decided to specifically enhance Xu Yi's identity as a baron in civilians, as a reward."

While Xu Yi was still stunned, the middle-aged man took out a book of exactly the same order from his arms and continued to read it.

"In view of Baron Xu Yi's great contribution to the kingdom, His Majesty decided to specifically promote Baron Xu Yi to his viscount as a reward."

Except for the name Xu Yi at the beginning, there is no difference in the two orders.

It can be seen from this that the middle-aged man had already prepared and made a special trip just for Xu Yi.

The Earl of Barca, who was standing beside him, said with a harsh expression when he heard these two appointment letters: "This... General Dema, Xu Yi, has just been deprived of his noble status by our noble parliament. His Majesty the King was promoted to a noble at this time... I'm afraid it's not good?"

General Dema glanced at him and said calmly: "I don't care about these. Anyway, I came according to Your Majesty's orders. Your Majesty said that as long as Xu Yi was deprived of his noble status by the noble parliament, I will read these two orders. In addition, these two orders are permanently valid."

After hearing the words of General Dema, Earl of Barcelona and the surrounding group of MPs were all in an instant. (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, the novel is better and faster!
