Black Iron Crown

Chapter 186: The trail of robbers

   "Very good! I see, continue to monitor the territory! I want to achieve complete control of the territory!"

   "Please rest assured, my lord, please believe your humblest servant has this ability!" Logan bowed and exited the room.

  Rainer decided to arrest Verplin for a trial in front of everyone, but he did not call Logan to do it.

Logan is the leader of an espionage organization. He is only responsible for collecting information. Reiner does not intend to give him the right to arrest and detain. The only thing he can do is to collect information for Reiner. He does not allow torture or arrest. People, to prevent a power from becoming bigger, it is necessary to restrict its rights.

  Rainer doesn't want a jinyi guard or a group of cool officials to appear in his territory, it will only make the territory panic, and it will be of no benefit.

  Sir Cod was called by the guard at the door and walked into Rainer's study in a suit.

   "What's the matter, Lord Baron?"

   He Gu Jing asked Reiner without wave.

"Yes, my uncle!" Rainer nodded, and handed the documents Logan had handed over to Sir Cod. Taking advantage of this autumn harvest, there was a lot of corruption in Osas Village!"

"So... what do you want to do with him? My lord?" Sir Cod frowned slightly. He didn't want this Verplin to be punished. As long as he didn't greet all the taxes in the entire village, then he would It will not be too severely punished.

In Sir Cod’s opinion, he is after all a relative of the Moreland family and the most staunch supporter of the Moreland family. Such a person should not be too harsh, otherwise it will chill the hearts of those who support the family. .

   Indeed, Sir Cod’s thoughts are what most lords of this era want to send. Even if a group of relatives in the family are unwilling, they will not give up, because this group of talents is the most trusted person for a lord.

   They will not betray the interests of the family, on the contrary, they will do their best to make their family stronger.

  Sir Cod is a very traditional nobleman, so he seems a little out of tune with Rainer at this time.

   "Hang him!" Rainer lowered his eyelids and stared at the light and dark candles on the table in front of him, and said: "I must use his blood to let everyone understand what corruption is like!"

"What?" Sir Cod stood up from his chair suddenly, and said in astonishment: "You are going to hang him? He is our relative! He is a descendant of the Merland family! Even if it is... even if he is greedy. Some, but his loyalty to the family is beyond doubt!"

Hearing that, Rainer didn't answer immediately, but tapped his fingers on the table in a rhythmic manner, and then slowly said: "I know, I never doubt their loyalty...but! He is alone. Corruption is nothing, but if others follow the example, there are more than 50 tax officials in our territory. If they are so greedy, then our income will be gone. I have to be responsible to everyone! "

"The money went into their pockets, and we became extremely impoverished. By that time, I could not keep the number of the army, I could not pay the soldiers, and I did not have the money to pay the blacksmiths, so how could I protect the territory? How can everyone protect for the benefit of others?"

Rainer licked his lips, and his voice gradually became low: "I am not just the patriarch of the Moland family, but the lord of this territory. I have thousands of subjects who need protection, and countless soldiers are waiting to be obtained under my leadership. Victory again and again!"

Reiner looked at Sir Cod's eyes plainly and said: "The prosperity and decline of a territory began in a small place! The collapse of the castle also began with the excavation of wild dogs! We must take precautions before it happens. This matter should be given. We all sound the alarm, corruption must be curbed!"

   This is indeed Leiner’s true thoughts. He can tolerate those tax officials who occasionally get some gray income, but he will never forgive people who embezzle a lot of money that should have entered his warehouse.

   Under Rainer’s persuasion, he didn’t know if Sir Cod was persuaded. He nodded and said, “My lord, I’ll get Verplin here!”

   "Wait for good news!" Rainer watched Sir Cod leave the room with a smile.

Stretching on the chair, Reiner felt exhausted. Now it is very different from the time when he just crossed over. At that time, I was so free, and I needed to have a good time at the public trial once a week. , Occasionally some accidents need to be dealt with by yourself, other times are your own personal time.

   But now it’s different. There are more than 7,000 people living on an area of ​​more than 800 square kilometers with five barons, and the official duties produced are completely different from before.

   He now has to say that one-half of his time every day is devoted to official duties, and sometimes he has to go to the castle center to see the training of the soldiers.

As a result, his time is tight now, and he doesn’t have that kind of laid-back feeling at all. Even his two little maids don’t go as often as before. Forget it, he hasn’t played poker for a long time. Going out hunting, it's been a long time since I stayed in my room to read knight novels.

   rubbed his eyes and stared at the ceiling, Rainer stretched out his right hand and began to stare.

   People sometimes have some strange ideas, such as who I am, where I am, what I want to do, and so on.

  Rainer is like this now. Although he is not a philosopher and has no qualifications as a philosopher, thinking is human instinct. In any case, these strange thoughts have taken root in the depths of his mind.

"What the **** am I doing all day? It’s not okay to be a lord and wait to die, and then to marry a right white-skinned wife? I have to put my head on my waistband and live this precarious and busy life. life?"

  Liner thought this in her heart, suddenly feeling that life lost its meaning.

And just as he was thinking about life in the spring and autumn, the people in the study were suddenly opened rudely. Just as Lena, who was interrupted thinking about life, was so furious that he wanted to stand up and blast the visitors, but found out It was Lombard who came in in a hurry.

   He only heard him whistling and panting (funny) and said: "Big Brother, we finally found the group of bandits who committed crimes in our territory before!"

"They finally couldn't help it. They attacked a village this morning and wanted to grab some food to go back. They happened to be met by the light cavalry patrolling around. There were about a dozen of them. After the two sides fought a lot. The enemy escaped, but we also caught two prisoners!"

  Looking at Lombard coming in, Leiner resisted the urge to kick him, and asked, "Where are the two prisoners who were caught?"
