My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 20 Envelopes

Gervais took the long sword and put the tip of the sword against the man’s neck before looking forward. At this moment, Benny had escaped from the inner castle.

“fief lord, fief lord! Are you alright!” At this moment, a group of guards who were let in by the servants opened the door and rushed to the stairs. These guards were disheveled, but they were all holding torches in their hands. and weapons, seeing Gervais in the corridor with the light from the torch, they asked in unison.

“I’m fine, that person should be Benny, who ran out of the window! You guys chase me! Catch Benny and reward 10 Silver Coins.” Gervais finally recognized the fire. The person pointed at by the tip of his sword was Benny’s subordinate.

Although I don’t know why Benny sneaks into the castle at night, I never want Benny to run away.

So he promised a group of guards a big reward, 10 Silver Coins, which could be worth their annual salary. Gervais was worried that these guards were not doing enough work, and only they were familiar with the terrain in the territory. It is possible to hunt down Benny.

Gervais also wanted to lead someone to pursue him personally, but Ike was still in the corridor, and he didn’t know how badly he was injured. The medical level in this world is extremely poor. Like Gervais who broke his head a month ago, it was the priest who came for treatment.

In addition to the priest, if you are sick, you can either find the Witch Doctor, which is similar to the big rope jumper on Earth, or you can find some herbal medicine to be hard on yourself.

It’s just because this territory of Gervais is too sparsely populated, and there are simply no churches and priests. Find a Witch Doctor who can jump rope. Gervais thinks it’s better to check it out in person. After all, if it’s not serious, at least You know how to stop bleeding and clean wounds.

“Yes! fief lord!” The guards did not dare to say more, and after receiving the order, the guards walked down the stairs under the leadership of Audrey.

After the line of guards left, Benny’s men on the ground had been caught by Laurie at this moment, and they also used the long sword to press the neck of Benny’s men.

Gervais saw Laurie holding the man steady, so he withdrew his sword and walked to the window below, because he saw a cloth bag falling on the floor of the window, which must have been Audrey’s slash just now. When Benny’s belt fell, Gervais picked up the bag and found that it was quite heavy. He opened the cloth bag and found five gold coins in yellow and orange.

“Good stuff.” Gervais murmured to himself, then tucked the cloth bag containing the gold coin into his chainmail.

After stuffing the gold coin, Gervais was about to go to the second floor to check on Ike, only to turn around, but saw that Ike had stood up by himself and walked to the stairs, holding the sword in one hand and covering his stomach in the other. , the blood has dripped down the palm to the ground.

Although the fight was fierce, the whole process only took more than ten breaths. Ike fell to the ground and Benny escaped with eight or nine breaths. Seeing so much blood oozing out of Ike’s abdomen, Gervais was shocked. “Ike, don’t move for now, the enemy has already run away!”

After speaking to Ike, Gervais said to Jimmy who had just rushed over, “Jimmy, hurry up and get some heat Here comes the water!”

“Yes, my lord!” As a cook, Jimmy’s resting place is a little far away. At the back of the kitchen, there are several compartments for cooks to live in, and by the way, he guards the storage. Food, protected from being stolen, or tampered with, so he wasn’t immediately woken up.

“Thomas, you and Laurie tie this guy up with rope first, and then you hurry up and get some needles and thread in town!”

“Yes, Lord Baron! “Thomas and Laurie immediately pressed the captured Benny’s men downstairs, and another servant besides Johnny held the torch for them and illuminated them.

After arranging everything, Gervais quickly stepped forward to support Ike and led him towards the guest room on the second floor, while Johnny held the torch to light Gervais and followed behind Gervais. Dare to come out, this is the first time he has encountered such a thing in his twenty-three years.

Pushing open the nearest guest room, Gervais quickly helped Ike to lie down. Ike’s hands were shaking a little now, and his lips were pale from the blood loss. Gervais didn’t dare to neglect, and quickly opened the leather armor bayonet on Ike’s body and took it off.

Because Ike was standing on the corridor at that time, which was higher than Benny and his men, the flat stab stabbed directly two inches below Ike’s navel. A sword pierced leather armor directly, and then pierced Ike’s body.

After taking off the wallet, Gervais took a brief glance and pressed a large strip of cloth firmly on Ike’s wound, sighed in relief at the same time.

There was a long wound on Ike’s abdomen, although there was a lot of blood left, but because he was dodging sideways in time, the sword just slashed through the abdomen, rather than piercing directly into the abdomen. Although the wound is a bit deep, as long as the internal organs are not injured, there is still a chance of life.

“What’s your name? Come and help me hold down Ike’s wound. I’ll go upstairs to get some medicine!” Gervais turned his head, the hot water had not yet come, he wanted to go while he was Bring some medicine for stab wounds from your room.

“Okay… okay Lord Baron! My name is Johnny!” Johnny heard Lord Baron’s instructions, and quickly stepped forward to imitate Gervais, pressing the cloth against Ike’s. on the wound!

“You’re doing well, Johnny!” Gervais only knew when he heard the servant’s name that he was the one who discovered the three of Benny sneaking into the castle at night, so Gervais complimented him. Then took the torch in his hand and quickly moved towards the upstairs.

When Gervais came, Gandalf prepared some medicine powder for him to treat knife wounds, which should be similar to the ancient Golden Skin Medicine in Earth. Although I don’t know how effective it is, but since Gandalf has prepared it, it means that You can still use it, it’s better than nothing.

By the time Gervais returned to the guest room, Thomas and Jimmy had both returned with needles and hot water ready.

Gervais has no experience. As an Earth person, he just read a few more novels and more common sense than these people.

Gervais first carefully wiped Ike’s wound, and then sutured the wound with gritted teeth. Although Gervais’s sutured wound looked unbearable, it was too ugly to be seen, but anyway Ike Ke’s blood had stopped, Gervais picked up the boiled cloth again, wiped the wound again, and then smeared medicine powder on the wound. After everything was done, he wrapped it directly around Yi Ke’s waist for a dozen times. lock up.

Seeing Gervais’ operation, Thomas and the others were stunned. It turned out that needle and thread can not only sew clothes, but also sew wounds, which subverted their three views.

“Thomas, remember to have someone change Ike’s dressing every day!” After everything was done, Gervais had nothing else to do, looking at Ike who had fallen asleep. There are no antibiotics in this world, and I can only rely on Ike himself!

“Yes! Your lord!”

“I’ll go to the study first, and you and Laurie will interrogate the guard and find out what’s going on tonight!” Gervais rubbed the rubbed The temple, he could never have imagined that on the first day he came to the territory, he encountered such a thing. Fortunately, Benny didn’t come to him, otherwise he might really fall in the sewer.

“It would be great if I had a musket!”

Gervais suddenly remembered the weapon from his previous life. In this narrow corridor, if there was a musket, it would definitely kill the three of Benny. down.

I am not yet titled Knight, in fact, it is similar to the ordinary person.

“It seems that I need to pay close attention to cultivation, but I don’t know if the original owner, this weak chicken, is going to innate talent cultivation fast!”

Although I have eaten golden fruit, Gervais is still somewhat guilty, but no matter what. How about, wait for the past few days to arrange things in the territory, you must start cultivation as soon as possible, so as to have the strength to ensure your own safety.

As for muskets, Gervais has blueprints in mind, but unfortunately this world doesn’t have saltpeter, otherwise you can get some self-protection first.

……

In the study, it was already late at night. After more than an hour of interrogation, that Benny’s subordinate had already said everything, including following Benny. Ruined the girl, lived in the guest room of the castle, and today went to the mountain village to ruin the bride in the name of exercising the right of the first night.

“That’s how inexcusable these three are! It’s ridiculous that they’re just worried that I’ll hang them for living in the castle guestroom, but not for doing anything wrong in the domain. Die!” Gervais gloomy face, his heart is furious, he has only been here for more than a month, although he instinctively realizes that under the feudal aristocracy, the common people will definitely be vigorously exploited by the nobles, but he didn’t expect to reach this point .

A small guard, Captain, without any title, dared to do such a cruel thing, and the murdered serf did not dare to take any action, even if he came to question him.

Is it the woman’s parents who don’t love their daughter? No, it’s because they know that even if they come to question Benny, it’s just in vain. Benny has the highest authority in this territory and controls their life and death, just like the first night of this world, in Gervais It seems incredible, but such incredible things can be popular in this world.

When an excessive rule appears for the first time, it will definitely be strongly opposed and resisted, but when this resistance is extinguished again and again, the excessive rule is enforced day by day, and over time , people will silently accept it and become accustomed to it.

“Yes, my lord!” Thomas stood tremblingly at the desk. Although the time he had been assigned to Gervais by count was very short, as a seasoned servant, he was very good at observing words and expressions. There is a set, in just three or four days, he also has a general understanding of Gervais’ character. Gervais treats people kindly and is not mean to those nobles. This is the first time he has seen Gervais make such a big fire.

“My lord, do you want the other guards to be arrested as well?” Thomas asked cautiously.

“No, since they didn’t follow Benny to do anything harmful to the territory, then I’ll spare them this time, and you’ll tell them when they come back.” Gervais’s thinking is still civilized thinking Dominance, not killing people just because other guards were forced into a guest room, wasn’t a big deal to Gervais, especially when the castle didn’t belong to him.

“Praise your kindness, my lord! I will tell them of your kindness to them.” Thomas praised without hesitation after hearing that Gervais did not punish the guards.

After complimenting Gervais, Thomas handed another envelope in his hand to Gervais “Sir, this is the envelope I just found in Benny’s guest room!”

Gervais took the envelope. There was no signature on the envelope, and there were traces of lacquer on the outer shell. Obviously, Benny had seen the letter because the lacquer on the envelope had leaked.

So Gervais opened the envelope, took out the letter and read it.

“Thomas, take a look!” After reading the envelope, Gervais’ face became even gloomier, he put the envelope on the desk, said to Thomas, and then began to think.

The envelopes have lacquer, which means that the envelopes are highly reliable, because only nobles used lacquer to seal the letters when they conveyed important information. As long as someone has opened the envelope during the delivery, the paint will fall off, letting the recipient know that the information has been leaked.

The content of the envelope is not much. This is a letter from a Viscount named Lenny to Benny. The main content of the letter is that Viscount Lenny will mine ore in the buffer zone.

This is a very common thing. As a viscount, it is not unusual to mine the buffer zone on the edge of his own territory, but the viscount also wrote a letter to inform a small Guard Captain.

The reason lies in the mining location. The mining location is not in the buffer zone on the side of the Viscount Landy, but a large part of it is in the buffer zone belonging to the edge of the Gervais domain.

And the most intriguing thing is that Viscount Lenny mentioned that in order to prevent wild beast from attacking the miners, he will build a wooden fence in the buffer zone and send a small number of soldiers to guard against wild beast. beast.
