"Hmph, Wuleglindo, let's put aside the unpleasantness between us for now. What is the so-called mutiny? How could my soldiers mutiny? You are slandering me!" Sean said with a frown.

"Lieutenant General Sean, don't say anything careless." Wu Lai smiled and said, "You were unconscious at the time, how can you be sure that your soldiers were not mutinous? Could it be that you were pretending to be unconscious?"

Sean's face suddenly turned ugly. Henry, who was standing by, saw this and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Lieutenant General Sean, Lord Wu Lai, let's talk it over. There's no need to be so confrontational..."

"Is it your turn to speak?!" Sean glared at Henry, then suddenly pointed at Henry and said with gritted teeth, "If you hadn't been talking nonsense, would I be like this now?!"

Henry was stunned and thought to himself, why are you blaming me? Besides, why did I say such nonsense?

"Henry, you're a bastard! You clearly know what canal protection is, yet you still instigated it..." Sean continued to curse.

"Enough!" This time, Wu Lai slammed the table, and the slap was quite hard. It immediately cut off Sean's words and frightened Baker, who had just been frightened.

What happened today? Are you taking your anger out on the table? Baker muttered to himself.

"Sean! This is Saltmarsh Town! Henry is my subordinate! It's not your turn to teach him a lesson!" Wu Lai stood up, his face stern, and spoke without any politeness.

Henry felt warmed when he saw Wu Lai standing up and scolding Sean for supporting him to save face, but he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Why is it so awkward to say this? It sounds like I am someone that you, Wulai Grindo, are using to vent your anger and teach a lesson? Thinking of this, Henry's face turned ugly. You know, there are several people sitting next to him. How big is the difference between Wulai's face-to-face defense and being slapped in the face in public? "Okay! Wulai Grindo, let's put Henry's matter aside. I won't mention it. Let me ask you, what is the mutiny? You must give me an explanation for this!" Sean said coldly.

"Explain? Okay." Wu Lai sat back in his chair, straightened his clothes, and said, "Gulu, show the explanation to Lieutenant General Sean."

"Okay." Gulu smiled and stood up. He took out a few pages of paper from his arms, leaned forward, handed them to Sean and said, "Lieutenant General Sean, you fainted at the time, so you really don't know what happened. Here is a confession signed by the soldiers. They admit that it was a mutiny."

As soon as Guru said this, Sean's brows furrowed and he quickly took the pages of paper. What's more, the names of his soldiers were densely written on them.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's almost done. Return it quickly. Don't..." Before Wu Lai finished speaking, he saw Sean move his hands and tear the papers into pieces on the ground in a few seconds.

"Huh? Sean, you're causing trouble!" Wu Lai slammed the table and shouted.

Hubble, Henry, and Baker were also startled. This scene was a bit confusing, because from Sean's actions, those pages were really the soldiers' confessions of mutiny. But why did those soldiers admit it? Mutiny was a serious crime. According to the rules, once a mutinous soldier was convicted, he would be sentenced to several years of hard labor or even death by hanging. This was no joke.

"Lord Wu Lai, please be patient. Deputy General Sean, please take a seat as well." Gulu smiled and said, "We have all worked hard for the Assyrian territory. Deputy General Sean's visit to Salt Marsh Town this time was a little sudden. These misunderstandings have occurred before he even met Lord Wu Lai. In the final analysis, it was all caused by partial listening and believing. Lord Wu Lai was nominated by Chief Connor himself. Now he is in charge of Salt Marsh Town. You probably can't imagine how heavy the burden on his shoulders is. Therefore, everyone should adapt to Lord Wu Lai's vigorous and resolute style as soon as possible. Otherwise, if a bigger misunderstanding occurs, it will be difficult to deal with."

"I have a suggestion. Let's stop the mutiny. After all, it won't sound good if it gets out, and it will also affect Lieutenant General Sean's future." Gulu looked at Wu Lai, "Lord Wu Lai, the most important thing right now is to complete the tasks assigned by Chief Connor. The rest can be put aside for now."

Wu Lai nodded slightly.

Hubble and Henry suddenly felt a little uneasy. It sounded as if Guru's words were meant specifically for them, and the message in his words was very stressful.

"Okay." Sean pondered for a moment, stood up again, glanced around, and said, "What happened today, just treat it as if it never happened. The only people here who know about this are those who know about it. I'll say this first. If this gets out in the future, I'll ask questions of you one by one."

After that, Sean walked towards the door, pointing his finger at Henry as he walked: "Henry, remember this, I will not let you go."

Henry was stunned and immediately panicked. Sean's words just now were full of hatred, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with him. The most important thing was that Sean was Hodge's confidant. Between him and Sean, Hodge would definitely protect Sean instead of him.

Sean slammed the door and left. Wu Lai didn't care. He leaned back in his chair and frowned.

Seeing that he seemed to be thinking, the others also kept silent. Everyone was like this, and Henry suddenly felt that the air around him was frozen, and he became more and more uneasy.

After a while, Wu Lai sighed heavily and said, "Everyone, this matter is a bit tricky. I figured out what Sean meant. He is venting his anger on Henry. Saltmarsh Town is remote and resource-poor. If the militia does not have the support of the First Legion's garrison in Lovington, they cannot even provide their own weapons, let alone protect the townspeople. Our town is surrounded by tigers and wolves."

Henry's heart suddenly sank. Wu Lai's words did not imply any kindness towards him.

"The most urgent task is how to resolve this crisis." Wu Lai looked around and asked, "Hubble, Baker, how is your relationship with the Lovington garrison?"

Hubble hesitated for a moment, glanced at Henry again, and then answered: "Lord Woolley, my relationship with the Lovington garrison is very ordinary. I just know one or two low-ranking officers." Henry could hear it, and Hubble naturally heard it too. He didn't want to get involved in this muddy water. First of all, he would not be able to please others, and secondly, he would offend others.

Wu Lai's eyes moved to Baker. Baker was about to talk to Hubble when he heard Guru's cough. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw Guru winking at him. He was moved. He thought that he had been getting along well with Guru during this period. He was hinting at me like this. Could it be that...

"Lord Wu Lai, although I didn't have much contact with the garrison, I still made a few friends." Baker decided to bet that Guru was not throwing a look at me randomly.

"Well." Woolley smiled with satisfaction and said, "Baker is good. Making more friends is a necessary quality for a citizen. Since you have friends in the Lovington garrison, I have decided that Baker will temporarily serve as the tribune."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hubble, Henry and Baker were all stunned.

This arrangement is not right, Hubble thought.

What does this mean? Henry was shocked.

I am a tribune? Doesn't that mean I have two jobs? Baker muttered to himself.

It seems that it is not a bad idea to get close to Wulai Grindo. Just as Baker was thinking this happily, Wulai frowned again and looked at Guru: "Guru, you have to work hard for a while and take over Baker's business temporarily."

Hubble and the other two were stunned again.

Baker was the first to react: "Lord Woolley, do you mean that I should be the tribune and let Guru be the treasurer?"

"Yes, that's what I meant. Weren't you listening carefully just now?" Wu Lai asked back.

"How can that be possible..." Baker became anxious. Although the tribune was very impressive leading the troops on horseback, in terms of benefits, it could not compare to the position of treasurer.

"Lord Wu Lai, I have an opinion." Henry stood up suddenly.

"If you have any opinions, just say it. Why are you standing up? Do you want to use force?" Wu Lai glanced at Henry with disdain, thinking, isn't it normal for me to jerk you off while you're doing bad things behind my back?

Use violence? You are the ancestor of violence, who dares to use violence against you? Henry gritted his teeth, feeling so angry, but he had to hold it in. In terms of force, he was no match for Woolley. In terms of position, Woolley was the governor, and his words were law in Salt Marsh Town. Even if he did something wrong, only those people in Lunvington could control him.

"Lord Woolley, I, the tribune, was recommended by Saltmarsh Town and decided by the Council of Nobles of the City-State of Lovington. You can't just dismiss me like this. That's not reasonable." Henry said with a swallow of anger.

"Unreasonable? What you did is unreasonable. You destroyed the defense of Salt Marsh Town, spread rumors and caused a mutiny. What I did to you is not a light punishment. Also, don't bring up the resolution of the noble meeting. The city-state meeting will be held in two months. I will mention the reasons and consequences of your dismissal at the meeting." Wu Lai rolled his eyes at Henry. "But this is Salt Marsh Town. Don't forget, I am the consul and I have the final say!"

After Wu Lai said this, Baker, who wanted to follow suit and express his displeasure, simply shut up and watched Henry continue.

"Lord Wu Lai, the City-State Noble Council will not agree with you doing this, and Governor George will not agree with you doing this!" Henry could not help but raise his voice, because the last sentence Wu Lai just said hurt him. Speaking of which, Henry is also an idealistic man. After so many years of hard work, he still has not been able to become the governor of Salt Marsh Town, which is a pain in his heart. You know, Salt Marsh Town is different from other places. Who will be the governor of Salt Marsh Town is not decided by the City-State Noble Council of Lunvington. To put it bluntly, Lunvington City only has the right to make suggestions.

However, despite this, under normal circumstances, the Assyrian Supreme Noble Council would go with the flow and agree to Ronvington's suggestion. However, this time was an exception. Chief Connor proposed Woolley without even reading Ronvington's suggestion, so Henry's hopes were dashed again.

Not only has he snatched the position of consul, but now they are also trying to make him a tribune. How can Henry remain calm?

Wu Lai slammed the table and said, "Are you going to take the blame for Sean? He is outside now. Go and tell him that you are responsible for the mutiny! Do you dare?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Henry's head, which immediately made him sober up. Although he still didn't understand why even Sean and those soldiers admitted to mutiny, he could tell from Sean's attitude that the deputy general of the southern district hated him.

In this case, the most important thing for him right now is to resolve the misunderstanding and repair the relationship, otherwise he would really let Wu Lai do the hat-taking. After all, it was only Wu Lai's unilateral action. If he went to the city of Lovington immediately, he might get a slap in the face.

Although he had thought it over in his heart, Henry still did not want to show his weakness in front of Woolley: "Lord Woolley, your behavior is very chilling. I can give up the position of tribune for the time being, but I will go to Longvington City to ask Governor George to judge this matter."

"Go ahead. I'll give you ten days off. Don't forget, although you are no longer a tribune, you are still under my jurisdiction because I haven't kicked you out of the management of Salt Marsh Town." Wu Lai showed a trace of contempt. "If you don't come back after ten days, I will apply to have you expelled from Salt Marsh Town. I promise. I'll keep my word."

"You..." Henry was furious, thinking that you are too bullying. Not only did you jerk me off, you even put a time limit on me.

Baker came over to smooth things over. He pulled Henry to sit down and said to Wu Lai with a smile, "Lord Wu Lai, we can think about these things again. You should know that I have been in the position of treasurer for so long, and I am not familiar with the work of tribune."

"If you are not familiar with it, just learn it. What? Do you also want to learn from Henry and give up?" Wu Lai asked with a frown.

"I dare not, I dare not..." This time, even Baker shut up.

Wu Lai turned his gaze to Hubble again, but his tone was much kinder: "Hubble, you are the peace officer. What happened today has undoubtedly made the townspeople confused and nervous. I think they need strong comfort, so in the next few days, I hope to see you and your entourage giving speeches to everyone at the canal protection site, both to comfort and to encourage them."

"Well... okay, no problem with me." After thinking about it, Hubble felt that it would be better to follow Wu Lai's wishes. This guy was in a bad mood today, so it would be better not to provoke him.

"Okay, I'm very satisfied with your attitude." Wu Lai smiled and glanced around, "Does anyone have anything else to say?"

Say? Will it work if we say it? Hubble and the other two thought so at the same time, and then shook their heads at the same time.

"Guru, have you written everything down?" Wu Lai looked at Guru.

Guru nodded and put the pen back into the ink bottle: "Okay."

"Everyone, please sign your names." Wu Lai stood up and took the record book handed to him by Guru. He walked to the three people and put it on the table in front of them. He said, "I like to have reasons and evidence for everything I do. From now on, every time we have a meeting, I will ask everyone to sign it, so that no one will gossip about me, Wu Lai Green, being overbearing and unreasonable."

Aren't you overbearing? Hubble and others muttered in their hearts at the same time.
