The strongest prince in the fairy tale world

Chapter 141 The end of greed

Seeing that their generals and comrades-in-arms were dead, the soldiers outside the palace did not dare to continue to rebel, and followed Catherine's command to clean up the corpses of their comrades-in-arms in the palace.

When the civilians outside the palace saw the soldiers piled up the corpses at the gate of the palace, they were both shocked and frightened. Their lively nature prompted them to come over and watch.

Some courageous civilians asked the soldiers about the coup, but the soldiers just shook their heads and sighed, "It failed."

The common people don't care about whether they like it or not. The people have long known that their previous emperor was a puppet emperor, and the current empress, a nine-star wizard, is actually ruling the country.

Therefore, Catherine's ascension did not cause big waves among ordinary people. For ordinary people, there is no big difference who sits on the throne, and life has neither improved nor worsened.

At dusk, an announcement was posted on the bulletin board outside the palace.

"General Lincoln Allen of the North, and Minister of Military Affairs Foss Sirode, the two led troops into the city and rebelled against the Queen. According to the Norman Empire, the two of them have been given death by the Queen. The Allen family and Sirona The remaining members of the family within three generations will all be hanged at noon tomorrow."

The crime of betraying the emperor is very serious, so blood relatives within three generations will be hanged.

The bodies of the soldiers who obeyed the order to break into the palace were all discarded in the mass graves on the outskirts of the city, and burned into coke in a big fire.

As sinners, they have no tombstones and names, and no family members dare to come here to mourn them.

……

After Yi Ze and his party returned to the military camp, Yi Ze informed the general of the military camp about the sunken ship and treasures on the bottom of the sea, and asked him to send people to dive to salvage them in the next two days.

However, Ize didn't expect that the old woman living by the sea bought the diving potion early the next morning in order to prevent the treasure from falling into the hands of others, and decided to fish out the gold coins first and then escape.

"Old woman, we are all very old, don't go down, it's too dangerous."

Although the old fisherman is good at water, he is old and has limited physical strength. Even with diving medicine, he can temporarily breathe in the water, but it is not easy to swim to the bottom of more than 100 meters deep.

The deeper you go, the greater the water pressure, and the more energy you will consume.

"You timid old man, don't hurry up and get some gold coins up, and the young man will call someone to come up later! We won't be able to get any gold coins at that time!" the old woman said fiercely.

"Okay, then let's go up with one bag each, and that's enough for our retirement." The old fisherman said.

"hurry up!"

The old woman drank the diving potion and jumped into the sea with a plop.

The old fisherman had no choice but to drink the remaining diving potion, and followed the old woman to the bottom of the sea.

The two bottles of diving medicine cost them four gold coins, which happened to be given to them by the goldfish before, so it can be regarded as exhausting all the family property to make gold.

Relying on the ability to live off the sea for many years, the two old men finally swam to the bottom of the sea.

Sure enough, just as the goldfish said, there was an old sunken ship on the bottom of the sea, and there were several boxes of gold coins in the cabin.

The old woman was so happy that she quickly took out her waist pocket and stuffed the gold coins into her pocket.

It was stuffed full and heavy, and seeing that her husband's bag was still loose, she snatched it away and stuffed a lot into it.

Each of them held a large bag of gold coins and swam towards the surface of the sea vigorously. When they swam back to their fishing boat, the two elderly people who were nearly seventy years old were already out of breath.

The fisherman felt that he had spent half his life trying to catch the bag of gold.

But the fisherman's wife seemed dissatisfied, she took a new bag, and was going to bring back a large bag of gold coins while the effect of the potion was still there.

At the same time, she also asked the fisherman to go down with her again, but the fisherman was so tired that if he went down to the bottom of the sea again, he would faint.

The fisherman's wife saw that she couldn't control her husband this time, so she gritted her teeth and jumped into the sea again, swimming towards the gold coins she was thinking about.

Compared with the first trip, the old woman's speed was much slower this time, after all, most of her physical strength had been exhausted.

But when she thought that there was so much gold on the bottom of the sea, she seemed to have a lot of strength.

The fisherman's wife came to the bottom of the sea again. She excitedly piled up the cloth bags in her hand, then took out another cloth bag and filled it up again.

There are more than 100 gold coins in one bag, and more than 200 gold coins in two bags, which is enough to make them a standard rich man.

However, the weight of one bag of gold coins is not bad, but the two bags of gold coins are indeed very heavy, weighing more than 60 kilograms. If it were not for the buoyancy provided by the sea water itself, the fisherman's wife would not be able to lift it at all.

She hung two bags full of gold coins on both sides of her waist, and she swam desperately upstream. The expiration date of the diving potion would soon expire, which made her a little anxious.

Just when the fisherman's wife could see the light on the sea, she suddenly accelerated, trying to get back to the boat as soon as possible.

But the vigorous swimming exercise had already exceeded the limit of the old man's body. Suddenly, her eyes went black, she was choked up several times, and she lay stiff in the sea water, lost consciousness, and died suddenly.

She sank to the bottom of the sea with the two bags of gold coins in her waist, and the greedy old woman finally died beside the money as she wished.

The old fisherman waited on the shore for a long time, but the old woman did not come up. He became anxious, but his diving medicine had expired, so it was impossible to go down to look for it at this time.

After diving for such a long time without returning, it is probably because of trouble.

He sat on the fishing boat sadly, watching the seabirds flying around with a sad expression.

After all, it is a wife who grew old together, so how could it not be sad?
Although this wife is usually fierce, always forcing him to do things he doesn't want to do, nagging and greedy, and has a lot of shortcomings, but as long as she has one advantage, it is enough to accompany him patiently.

But if she really died, the life of the fisherman would not be very good, and loneliness and guilt would often torment him.

The old fisherman wiped the corners of his eyes, wiped away his tears, and was about to leave by boat. These two large bags of gold coins were enough for him to live a good life for the rest of his life.

When the old fisherman returned home, he immediately packed up his luggage and prepared to move to a better place.

The old fisherman looked at the two heavy sacks of gold coins, and the joy of contentment had already offset the pain of losing his wife.

Now with all his property, he can go to the city to buy a big house, and find a wife with a milder personality, and live a rich life to die.

When the old fisherman packed his luggage, he was about to leave here with two bags of gold coins in his arms.

The fisherman came to the inn in the city and opened a room to hide the gold coins and eat something by the way.

However, when he was walking up the stairs, he accidentally slipped and the two bags of gold coins in his arms were thrown out.

"Ding Ding Dang Dang" rolled down from the height of the stairs, and the gold coins were scattered all over the ground.
