My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 22 Touring the Territory

“Yes, my lord! When we arrived at the front yard last night, we found that the gate of the castle had been secretly opened by Benny, and he was still riding a horse in the stable. A horse, I immediately took two guards and went to the stable to chase after him.” Audrey kept his head down, and his tone of speech was also a little low.

“When we rushed out of the castle, Benny was already running down the mountain and down the road to the west. We chased all the way. Benny finally found that he couldn’t get rid of us, so he gave up the horse and got into the roadside. The woods, since Benny got into the woods, we lost track of him, and after I put a guard on the horse, I went into the woods with another guard to search, but nothing was found. Searched until dawn We’re back!”

After finishing speaking, Audrey saw that Gervais didn’t have any mood swings and continued: “Sir, it’s the villain who is incompetent and didn’t catch Benny, please punish!”

p>

“It’s not your fault, Benny even secretly opened the castle gate, which is unexpected!” Gervais finished his last bite of food and looked towards Audrey.

When Benny was on duty in the middle of the night, he even opened the castle gate ahead of time, indicating that he had planned to use the horses in the castle to escape. Chase him at night.

If the castle gates were closed at the time, you could catch a turtle in a jar, and Benny couldn’t fly with his wings. It’s useless to climb over the wall and go out on two legs. There are horses in the castle, and they can catch up with him in a moment.

Gervais felt a little regretful, why did he delay preparing to solve it today, knowing that Benny had a problem yesterday.

If I had made a decisive decision yesterday afternoon and interrogated each guard one after another, I would definitely have found clues about Benny, and nothing would have happened in the middle of the night. Seriously injured, it will take another two days to observe if he can survive. The most hateful thing is that Benny, the main culprit, ran away.

As an Earth person, procrastination is a very common phenomenon, from students doing homework to adults working, most people have procrastination, but procrastination in Earth brings about procrastination. The consequences are minor.

But in this world, Gervais was very free yesterday afternoon, but he thought about scheduling things to do today, didn’t expect an accident in the middle of the night.

Procrastination is really not suitable to exist in this world. As a lord, you need to be more diligent. Gervais told himself to himself.

……

With the lessons learned last night, Gervais’s style of doing things today began to be swift and decisive.

I’m ready to start patrolling the territory now. Thomas doesn’t have to follow him today, because Gervais asked Thomas to go to the town to recruit servants and maids.

There are too few people in the castle. If there was a manservant in the castle last night, I believe that Benny would not dare to take the risk to sneak in, and every corridor in the castle originally needed to be lit with candles. , but because there is no manpower to replace, only the Third Layer where Gervais is located keeps the candle forever, or it is replaced because Ike’s three people are on duty.

Gervais came to the vestibule. Thomas was already waiting with Gervais’ horse. There were four horses in total. One of them had a flat carriage behind it. one person.

This man is Benny’s subordinate who was captured by Gervais last night, and Gervais is going to take him to tour his territory today. As for the man who was cut down by Ike at the first sight last night, he had just been ordered by Gervais to hang on the wooden pole in the town square.

It’s not that Gervais is cruel, it’s that Benny and his two subordinates are doing mischief in this territory. Although the serfs dare not speak out, they must hate these guards. If Gervais comes In the future, Benny is still alive and well, and these resentments will transfer to Gervais before long.

If Gervais will punish the wicked trio, he will quickly gain prestige, as well as the goodwill of the serfs. Although most nobles thought the goodwill of serfs was worthless.

But the Gervais who came through had a different view. In Gervais’ mind, he believed that only with the approval of the serfs with the largest population base could a territory truly develop. When the serfs felt that Gervais was a A good lord, a good master, then they will work hard for Gervais and pay taxes without delay.

In no hurry to get on the horse, Gervais rewarded Johnny in public at the door. Although the servant sneaked out of his room in the middle of the night, the merits outweighed the demerits. Gervais asked Thomas to reward him with 20 coppers and one. Large pieces of white bread that Gervais did not eat in the morning.

In the envious gaze of another servant, Thomas handed 20 copper plates and whole white bread into Johnny’s hands.

After rewarding Johnny, Gervais didn’t delay any longer, got on the horse, and was ready to go.

As ordered by Gervais last night, and the horses were well fed this morning, Gervais led Laurie, Audrey, and two local guards out of the castle gates.

Other guards need to be stationed at the castle, so today there are four followers and a prisoner tied to the carriage and covering his mouth with a rag.

…

Viscounty Laney, Blackrock Castle.

In a luxurious hall, Lanny was sitting on a soft sofa, holding an enchanting woman in his arms. The woman’s clothes were exposed, and her slender body was like a water snake, completely hanging on Viscount Lenny’s bloated body.

The alluring woman occasionally picked up fruit from the fruit bowl held by the maid and fed it to Viscount Lenny’s mouth.

peng~ peng~ peng~ ~

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the hall, and Viscount Lenny pushed the enchanting woman away, loudly said: “Come in!”

After Viscount Laney finished speaking, a man who looked like a steward outside the door slowly pushed open the two wide doors and walked in cautiously.

“Lord Viscount, Count Jones has an urgent report.” This man is Viscount Lenny’s steward. As a steward, he knows best that Viscount Lenny hates others the most at this time, come This hall disturbs his enjoyment.

But because of the urgency of the matter, Steward did not dare to delay. As soon as he received the urgent report, he hurried to Viscount Lenny to report. Steward took the letter and walked quickly to Viscount Lenny and handed the envelope.

When Viscount Lenny read the urgent report delivered by Steward, his face was sinking like water, and his teeth were rattling.

Boom~

Finally, furious; Viscount Lanney lifted the fruit plate in the hand of the maid and smashed it into the center of the hall, and instantly a beautiful disk was smashed into pieces. Cracked tiles were scattered all over the place.

In the hall, both the steward and the water snake-like alluring woman just now looked terrified and did not dare to let out the air.

“The territory was consecrated, it was conferred, that slut, the territory that no one managed for more than 30 years, has a lord now! Ah…ah…” Viscount Lanney was a little crazy, Alice The canonization of a small Baron may disrupt his important plans.

When Viscount Laney cursed loudly, steward and the others shiver coldly, but no one dared to persuade.

Steward is Viscount Lenny’s confidant. He has read the emergency report and fully understands why Viscount Lenny is so angry.

Although Lenny is a viscount, he is greedy and stingy, and is well-known in the aristocratic circle.

Recently, Viscount Lenny has been very interested in a place, which is the buffer zone between Viscount Lenny and Count Jones. Viscount Lenny discovered an amazing mineral by chance a long time ago. , but the location of the mine is mostly within the buffer zone of the Jones family.

Originally photographed in the old count as a golden Peak Knight, Viscount Lenny didn’t dare to make any changes, but didn’t expect the old count to disappear not long ago.

This made Viscount Lenny begin to stir, thinking that this was an extremely rare opportunity, a gift from God.

So, at the risk of breaking the unwritten rules, Viscount Lenny spent a lot of money to build a camp in the buffer zone, ready to start collecting that precious mineral.

In order to be on the safe side, Viscount Lenny also repaired a book, plus five gold coins, to bribe Captain, Benny, the guard stationed in the Viscounty Major.

didn’t expect , it’s only been a month or so, the camp has just been built a few days ago, and the territory has a new owner.

This means that the five gold coins he bribed Benny with were gone, and the most important thing is that his camp will be at great risk of being discovered by the new lord.

“Tabby, you go to the camp yourself now, if the camp is really discovered by the lord named Gervais, you can’t let them get close to the camp anyway, if necessary, as long as you don’t hurt that person. Baron, everyone else can execute without any mercy!” The flustered and exasperated Viscount Lenny gradually calmed down after venting, and after thinking for a long time, he instructed the steward in front of him.

“Yes, Lord Viscount!” Steward, named Tabby, agreed quickly.

…

“The road ahead leads there?” Gervais stopped his horse, pointed to a winding dirt road, and asked the guard behind him as he walked out of the castle gate.

“Master Baron, that’s the road to the seaside mountain village.” A guard behind him replied immediately, because the two of them were local guards, so they were familiar with all parts of the territory. Go to the location of the red dot before going to the red dot. I plan to go directly outside the town and go directly to the road in the direction of the red dot instead of going to the town as the first stop.

“Then let’s go to the village by the sea first!” Gervais nodded, then clamped his legs, pulled the reins, and urged the horses to move forward.

“Yes, my lord!” The guards listened to Gervais’ orders, and hurriedly urged their horses to follow Gervais closely.

Although there were not many pedestrians along the way, I occasionally bumped into one or two, all of them coming out of the fields on both sides of the road, presumably because it was time for lunch, these serfs. Going home for dinner, so I can get Gervais to meet a few people.

The serfs all wore similar clothes, including linen shorts, and many were barefoot. Only one or two of the serfs wore straw sandals.

When they saw the entire group of Gervais, they all hid by the side of the road, daring not to move.

Waiting for Gervais to approach them, the serf looked at him secretly and shivered when he saw the guards behind Gervais and the people who were tied to the carriage.

“Gervais fief lord patrolling the territory! You guys don’t hurry up and salute.”

When the entire group of Gervais passed by these serfs, the guards behind them immediately shouted.

“Have you seen this person? Followed Benny to bully you in the territory. Now Lord Gervais has become the lord here, and he knows Benny’s evil deeds and has done justice for you.”

“But Benny was too cunning, Lord Baron had fled in fear of the crime before he reached the castle, only two of his men were caught, this is one of them, the other has been ordered by the Gervais fief lord It fell on the square of the town, you can go back and have a look!”

“The grace of God has enveloped you! The Gervais fief lord is here, and you will be sheltered!”

Of course, the guard’s lines were explained by Thomas, otherwise, how could the local guard who didn’t even know the words speak so smoothly.

Gervais stopped their horses, and the serfs knelt on the ground without the slightest hesitation. When they heard that Benny’s men were tied to the carriage, the daring serf raised his head slightly. Take a peek at the man strapped to the carry.

Seeing the serfs kneeling on the side of the road tremblingly, although Gervais is not very comfortable, he also understands that the serfs must kneel and salute when they see the nobles. Change.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Gervais thought that Benny was still at large, so he told the shouting guards: “Tell them, although Benny escaped, I must catch him and let him Be responsible for the sins you have committed. If anyone finds or catches Benny, they can go to the castle to receive a reward of 1 Silver Coin.”

……

Because of a There were serfs passing by on the road, so Gervais and the others traveled very slowly. They walked for nearly an hour before reaching the red dot of Gervais.

“Take a rest here, I drank a bit too much water in the morning! Go to the front for convenience, you don’t have to follow.” At the foot of a hill, Gervais looked at the flashing position of the red dot. It’s close at hand, just a little bit behind the small mountain bag, and now he instructs everyone to rest on the spot, and he just uses a convenient front to investigate.

“Yes, my lord!”

Gervais is glad the red dot is on the side of the road, not in the jungle, if in the jungle, he would have to find someone else There is a reason to go in and find it, but now that the location is near the road, it is convenient for him to act.

Slowly adjusting the direction, Gervais walked step by step towards the side of the hill. There are not many weeds here, but there are a few small trees. shape, Gervais began to look left and right.

The radar on the panel is very useful. As the distance gets closer, it will continue to zoom in, so Gervais does not need to search in a large range, and can directly lock the error within one or two meters. The dots and the green dots have been fully integrated, and the zoom function has reached the extreme.

“What could it be?” Gervais was looking forward to it, but he looked all around for a while and found that nothing was out of the ordinary. Gervais scratched his head, not knowing what to do, after all, he was the first Once I use this cheat function, I still don’t know what the red dot represents, so I can’t find the entry point at all.
