Black Iron Crown

Chapter 191: public trial

Behind the sergeants are a group of armed soldiers wearing armor all over, and their level has improved again after nearly a month of training.

As for the crossbowmen and archers, they stood there quietly behind them.

These soldiers are all elites among the elite, even the recruits who have just joined the army are well-known as elite divisions.

"You can go now, kill as many enemies as you can..." Rainer walked to the side of Sir Varas and Sir Leyland, and handed over the banner representing the Moreland family to Sir Leyland, with a profound meaning. Glanced at him with his eyes.

Sir Leyland saw Rainer’s eyes that were not very meaningful, he immediately understood, took the flag and held it in his hand, raised it high and shaken it, and solemnly said: "Please rest assured, Lord Baron, I will definitely finish. Your order will not let you down!"

"Very good! Get ready to set off, bring enough supplies!" Rainer glanced at the heraldic flag fluttering in the wind, smiled and nodded, urging Sir Leyland and the others.

In this way, the team of hundreds of people left the castle with great smoke and dust, and rushed to the boreal forest to complete the order given by Rainer, with the desire for merit and victory.

At the same time, Rainer also has his own affairs to deal with. The corrupt tax official Verplin has been arrested, and after seeing the evidence listed by Logan’s people, he also gave up sophistry, because Everything he did was clearly written on the dossier.

In the afternoon, most of the residents of Fort Merland were gathered on a temporary execution platform outside the castle, and even many residents from other areas under Reiner's command came.

A rough estimate is that there are three to four thousand residents who faintly gather here. A large area of ​​Wuyang Wuyang is crowded with people. Nearly half of the residents of Morland County have come here.

Reiner was wearing a gorgeous robe representing his identity, and a saber symbolizing force was hung around his waist. He was sitting on a small makeshift platform to highlight his authority.

And below the high platform, there are knights arranged in order of sitting, some squires, and relatives of the Moreland family, participating in this trial as jurors.

This time the public trial was different from the past. The previous trial could have hundreds of people. It was a rare scene. The trial of thousands of people was unprecedented in Fort Morand and even in the entire northern region.

This was specifically requested by Leiner. He hoped that this matter could spread throughout the territory, so that all tax officials would understand what happens after corruption, and at the same time let the residents take a look, if your chief is embezzled, Then Lord Baron will definitely be the master for you.

The village chief is a bad guy and the baron is a benefactor. Reiner intends to carry him through to the end. With this policy, Reiner intends to implement a reporting system, just like the omnipotent Chaoyang District masses, launching the people’s anti-corruption war. Coupled with the monitoring of intelligence organizations, a government that is as clean and noble as the celestial dynasty is established.

Sitting on the main seat, Lena looked at the hanging crowd below with a numb expression. Keeping a certain distance in front of the subjects and a sense of mystery is one of the effective ways to increase majesty. They only need to know that Lord Baron is right. Their good lord is fine, so that they will support Lena's rule.

In other respects, Reiner needs to maintain sufficient majesty to make them abide by the law.

Some of the second batch of militiamen recruited from various villages have been recruited with one hundred men. They are guarding Leiner's side while holding spears while taking on the task of maintaining order.

Thirty veteran horse archers who did not follow the army to go north to the frigid forest were cruising nearby to prevent accidents.

"Quiet! All be quiet!" One of Rainer's clerk pressed down and shouted loudly, hoping that the scene would be quiet.

Fortunately, the obedience of the residents was still very poor, and the whole venue was quiet after a few minutes.

"Bring people up!" Seeing that the scene had calmed down, the clerk said with a glance at Lena, who was standing still at the top, like a clay body and wood plastic.

As soon as his words fell, two soldiers escorted Verplin over.

I saw that Verplin was **** by the five flowers at this time and was embarrassed, completely devoid of the usual arrogance and domineering arrogance, under the push of two soldiers, like a homeless dog, knelt on the ground in despair.

The villagers of Ossas Village, who was harmed by Verplin, were placed in the forefront. Seeing Verplin's embarrassed appearance, they couldn't help shouting loudly: "Such a dog should be hanged!"

"The fair and just Lord Baron will definitely not let you go! You should go to hell!"

"Hang him! Hang this greedy fellow!"

Looking at the clamoring residents below, Lena's brows couldn't help but frowned slightly. It was true that Dou Mien's enmity was raised in their bodies.

In fact, the amount of Verplin's embezzlement is not too large, and it is within Lena's tolerance. If he had not had to find a bird to show his aversion to corruption, he would not be arrested.

But there is no way. The rafters that come out first rot first. Since he is the most greedy, he has no choice but to be sorry. You can't run away if you take it out as a baby.

"Shut your mouth! You **** untouchables!" On the jury, a member of the Morand family stood up immediately, his face flushed with anger, and angrily took off the hat on his head and threw it on. Among the crowd, pointing at the clamoring residents ~ lightnovelpub.net~ The scene suddenly became much quieter. The residents who had been condemning Wipplin were also dumb. They dare not talk to the members of the Merland family. There is a conflict.

"Okay! Keep me quiet! No one is allowed to make such a loud noise!" Sir Cod showed an unpleasant expression on his face, turning his head and yelling at the family member.

After listening to Sir Cod's words, the irritated family member widened his eyes and looked unconvinced. Even Sir Cod, who was highly prestigious among the Morland family, would not listen to what he said, and wanted to say something to refute.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy? Lord Baron is still watching, how dare you?" Before he could say anything, a person beside him grabbed him and pressed him to the seat.

"I don't care! Is it true that the family members, the descendants of Moreland, will be judged because of a group of untouchables? Is the Lord Baron our baron or the baron of the untouchables? Is it because the group has a bloodline like sludge? Are untouchables going to judge people with noble blood?" The pulled family member roared angrily, the blue veins on his neck violently, looking very hideous.
