Although the period was short, he helped deal with everything from disputes between residents to smaller matters like someone's poultry being lost.
Although some government affairs were not handled very well, they barely met the lord's requirements.
During his tenure as a political official, he became a well-known figure in Wubei.
But he had never been as passive as he was today.
This group of new freemen actually protested against his arrangements. Not only did they beat up his assistant, but even Sim and Jewett, who came to maintain order, were implicated.
Now faced with this protest situation, they can only ask the Lord to come over.
Thanks to the blessing of the Seven Gods, the lord happened to return to Shanlin Town today, otherwise he would not know how to deal with the current situation.
Roning frowned and followed the guards to the West Square.
He remembered that when he first came to Shanlin Town, he held a meeting with the people here. At that time, this place was a grassland.
However, later, as McKen and Ridal began to train the guards, this place was transformed into a square.
It was here that Wilson allocated and arranged the subjects who had fled to Shanlin Town.
At this moment, the crowd formed a circle around Wilson, Sim and Jewett. Outside the circle, the residents of Hillwood Town were standing on tiptoe, looking at the situation and pointing.
When they saw Roning coming, they all bowed and saluted, while also looking forward to how the lord would handle the matter.
At this time, the crowd forming a circle also noticed Roning and subconsciously made way for him. When their eyes met the lord, they dodged unconsciously.
"My Lord, you are finally here!"
Wilson ran up, his face full of self-blame: "I'm sorry to bother you to come here in person for this matter!"
"What's going on?"
Roning frowned and walked slowly into the crowd. Only then did he see Sim lying on the ground after being beaten and Juwitt with a bruised face and nose.
In addition, there was another person lying on the ground covered in blood, and two people next to him were plugging the wounds on their arms with linen.
"Greetings, Lord Viscount!"
The middle-aged knight opposite saluted Ronin. If he guessed correctly, this man was the wandering knight named Kudore.
Ronin glanced at the other person, then turned and walked towards Jewett and Sim.
"How does it feel to be beaten on your own territory?"
Zhu Weite managed to stand up, but Sim's leg was injured and he couldn't stand. The expressions on their faces showed pain, but more of it was self-blame. It was so embarrassing and it also brought shame to the lord.
“Remember this feeling, and don’t let yourself experience it again.”
As he spoke, he took out a healing spell scroll and used it on Wilson's assistant, helping him stop the bleeding.
On the other side, Rogna asked in a stern voice: "Kudolei, what are you doing!"
He thought it was just a minor friction, but he didn't expect the situation on the scene to be so bloody.
He led the group all the way to Shanlin Town, and he didn't realize that Kuredo was a reckless person. How could he cause such a big trouble shortly after arriving in the territory? "Mr. Rogner, my friends and I just gave them some of our opinions, but they not only ignored us, but also said that we were causing trouble."
Kudore spread his hands and said helplessly: "During the argument, that person attacked me, so I had no choice but to fight back. The two knights behind me came over and attacked me without asking why, so I had no choice but to fight back."
"You farted!"
"It was you who cursed and hit us first, and now you're biting us back!"
Wilson was so angry that he was shaking all over, because the person the other party had falsely accused was his assistant.
If he can't stand up for his subordinates in this matter, how can he be the head of government in the future? "Everyone here can testify that it was your people who started it first!"
Kudore said innocently, "We came here from Baron Kona because we admire Lord Ronin, but we didn't expect to be treated like this as soon as we got here!"
"If your behavior gets out, it will damage the reputation of Viscount Wubei! Even if people outside want to join Wubei, they will hesitate because of you!"
"you!"
Wilson had never seen such a scene before. Unfortunately, he was just an ordinary person and had no ability to compete with the other party. Otherwise, he would have rushed up and fought with the other party.
"Kudolei, that's enough!" Rognar shouted coldly.
He did not have any close relationship with the wandering knight, and to be honest, they were not even ordinary friends.
But when facing Ronin's question just now, his answer seemed to be recommending this knight.
He has no intention of recommending.
And no matter what the truth of this matter is, it is wrong for a professional knight to fight against an ordinary person, and the other party is an official under the lord.
He couldn't help but look at Roning, only to see the latter patting the injured assistant on the shoulder and saying, "Ask Wilson for a few days off to rest."
Only then did Luo Ning stand up and start to deal with the matter.
"Wilson, tell me what's going on."
Wilson suppressed his anger and said, "Sir, according to your instructions, we will prepare five acres of land for each freeman who joins Wushan Territory, but these guys actually want ten acres. In addition, they also want to live in a more spacious house and extend the period of low taxes."
"Jack rejected his unreasonable demands, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant and beat him up!"
Two political assistants on the side chimed in and testified for their leader.
"Your Excellency, this is a false accusation!"
Ku'dorei tried his best to defend himself.
"I'm a newcomer, how could I have the guts to do such a thing? If you don't believe me, you can ask other people here. I believe they will testify for me that he is lying!"
Luo Ning looked at someone in the crowd casually, "Really?"
"Yes... yes, sir!"
Roning looked around at the other people. Most of them lowered their heads silently and did not speak, but there were a few who affirmed Ku'dorei's statement.
In fact, Roning had already made up his mind whether it was true or false.
Wilson basically followed his orders strictly and was not a strong character. He did not dare to tell such a big lie to Roning.
On the other hand, Kudore and his men looked like they had formed an alliance.
I'm afraid that after Anthony summoned them and before Rogna took them back, Kudore had already discussed with this group of people to gain more benefits for himself by gathering them together.
Moreover, this group of free people were quite courageous and actually dared to cooperate.
He didn't understand where the other party got the courage and guts to think that he could force a lord to give in in this way? Was he mentally damaged? For the first time, Ronin looked directly at Kudore and said, "In Wubei Territory, no matter whether it is a knight or a magician, it is not allowed to attack ordinary people without a legitimate reason."
"Sir, please believe that I was forced!"
Roning glanced at Zhu Weite and Sim and changed the subject: "You are stronger than my subordinates?"
Kudorei's face remained expressionless, but he was delighted in his heart.
I heard that this lord is very generous, and his territory is extremely short of people.
When Anthony was promoting it, he said that as long as anyone came to Wubei Territory, the viscount here would treat them with courtesy and let them live a good life.
So he felt that the risk of doing this was very small. Once successful, so many people would give you some food or money every year in exchange for his help; on the other hand, if he failed, the Lord of Wubei, who was extremely short of manpower, should not really do anything to them, not to mention that he was just a mid-level knight.
Wubei Territory is short of people, and even more so of professional knights.
"Sir, I have reached the peak of the intermediate level and may soon become a high-level knight."
He knelt on one knee and said, "I, Kudore, am willing to follow you, sir. From now on, I will be at your service!"
The free people who came with Ku'dorei also looked relaxed.
If Kudore could gain a high status in Wubei Territory, they would have someone to rely on in Wubei Territory where they were unfamiliar with the place, and would not be bullied by the "locals" at will.
"Ku'dorei, draw your sword and let me see your strength."
Roning walked to Rogna's side and slowly drew out the long sword from his waist.
"If you can take my attack, the position of Wubei Territory's guard officer will be yours, with a daily reward of 1,100 copper coins."
Rognar sighed. Although Roning looked friendly, he knew that the lord was probably not in a very good mood.
Wilson and others were a little anxious. Why was the lord like this?
Not only not punishing the other party, but also making him serve as a bodyguard?
Besides, isn't the guard officer Lord Macken? What qualifications does this guy have to compare with Lord Macken? Kudore was very excited. Hearing such a high daily salary, his heart was trembling.
It was just one move, and he had to take it even if he got hurt! He quickly stood up and drew the long sword from his waist: "Sir, I'm going to do it!"
Roning waved Rogna's sword, which was much lighter than his Liuyan Sword, "Come on!"
Whoosh! Kudore rushed forward and stabbed Ronin with the long sword in his hand.
"Too many flaws, is this your strength?"
Roning took a step sideways, a cold sword flashed, and a huge head flew up.
"It's so disappointing." (End of this chapter)
