Bonnie's words immediately shocked everyone. Not only the security team members looked at Roger in horror, but even the townspeople who came to the excitement also showed expressions of astonishment. [] Everyone was smiling. Roger, he didn't expect this and
The young man who had a conflict with the tax collector turned out to be the rumored new lord of Kent.
Jason, on the other hand, was so frightened that his face turned pale. He never thought that the taxes he collected would actually be borne by the new lord, and he even had ideas about the women around him. This situation was very bad, let alone want to continue.
If you stay in Kent Town, I'm afraid the new lord won't give you good luck.
Roger smiled coldly at Jason, whose expression changed drastically, and then raised his voice and said: "I declare that Jason, the tax collector of Kent Town, enriched his pockets in the name of tax collection, colluded with horse thieves to intercept and kill passing merchants, and bullied the townspeople to collect excessive taxes.
Forgivable, he is now sentenced to be beheaded and will be executed immediately! As for the former security guards in the town who bullied others and brought harm to the people, they will all be hanged!"
"Coax!" Roger's words immediately caused an uproar among the townspeople. Many people did not believe it was true, and thought they were dreaming. It took a while before everyone realized that the lord was not joking, but
We really want to severely punish these scum who have harmed one party, and everyone can't help but become ecstatic.
"Long live the new lord!"
"Well done, Lord Baron!"
"Welcome to Kent County!" All of a sudden, the townspeople cheered to Roger to express their welcome to the new lord. But the previously arrogant security team members all turned pale with fright, and some of them
His eyes were darting everywhere, looking for a possible escape direction.
In the more than a year since Jason came to Kent Town as a tax collector, he has imposed excessive taxes and committed evil acts, which has brought suffering to all the townspeople. Originally, the land around Kent Town was very barren, and most of the townspeople relied on doing business with businessmen.
People make a living by buying and selling. Jason's approach drove away the merchants and cut off the livelihood of the townspeople.
But Jason didn't care about the life and death of the townspeople at all, and still charged them very high taxes. Anyone who resisted would be severely suppressed. Those who wanted to leave here and seek life elsewhere would often die tragically for no apparent reason.
Outside the town. So for more than a year, the townspeople hated Jason deeply. They were just afraid of his power, so they dared not speak out.
Now that the new lord announced that he would severely punish Jason and others, he naturally received the support of everyone immediately. Although Roger only announced the first order, he was already a wise lord in the eyes of many people.
"Hahahahaha!" Just as people cheered, Jason suddenly laughed wildly. Under the astonished gazes of others, he loudly and confidently said to Roger: "Lord, I admit that this time I was negligent and let you catch the situation.
I have nothing to say about this. But just because you want to punish me, I’m afraid you’re not qualified enough!”
"Presumptuous!" Chris shouted: "My lord is the lord here and has the full power to severely punish you, a villain!"
Jason ignored the knight at all, but stared at Roger and said word by word: "You also know that I have contact with the horse thieves. Thousands of horse thieves can wipe out the entire Kent Town at any time! I have already contacted the horse thieves, and they can kill them at any time.
It may appear outside the town. Lord Baron, you would be too careless if you only bring a few people to the territory!"
Jason's words contained a naked threat, which caused an uproar among the townspeople. It was already a very serious crime to threaten the nobles of the kingdom in public, but Jason actually planned to kill the new lord. This was not only a conflict with the entire kingdom.
Go against, or even make enemies of all the nobles on the continent. If Jason really did this, he would have to spend the rest of his life constantly evading pursuit.
Jason didn't care how shocking his words were. Anyway, surrendering to Roger now would mean death, so he might as well gamble with the last chip in his hand. In Jason's impression, nobles cherish their own lives, especially
A noble like Roger who had just acquired a territory would never have the courage to die with him.
Jason believed that his threats would be effective, forcing Roger to make concessions. Jason felt that as long as he could save his life and accumulated wealth, he could live a very comfortable life no matter where he was. Maybe he could still use it.
This money can buy me an official position in another place, and then I can continue to make money locally using the same method. It is definitely a very cost-effective investment.
So although Jason seemed to be at a disadvantage, he was very confident in his heart. He even looked at Roger with a bit of ridicule, just waiting for this life-hungry noble to bow his head and give in, and then he could regain his freedom and take him with him.
That wealth went everywhere.
However, Jason's wishful thinking was completely wrong. Although Roger was also afraid of death, he was definitely not comparable to the nobles in his impression. Faced with the naked threat of the tax officer, Roger's expression did not change at all, the clouds were calm and the wind was clear.
He smiled and said: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten
, those horse thieves hiding in the Green Sea Forest are really annoying. But you don’t need to remind me about this. As the lord of Kent County, I will never allow such a gang of villains to exist in my territory. These years
Horse thieves are already history to me!"
As soon as Roger said that the horse thieves were hiding in the Green Sea Forest, Jason's expression immediately changed. This was Jason's biggest secret. Now that Roger knew about it, he felt that his brothers and subordinates were not safe either.
.
However, Jason was only worried about his brothers and did not believe that the newly arrived lord had the strength to deal with them. After all, there were more than 600 people, all of whom had killed more than 600 people. In addition, Watson also had the strength of a bronze-advanced level.
, no matter what, it cannot be solved so easily.
So after Roger said that horse thieves are history, Jason couldn't help shouting: "You're lying! You don't have the ability to deal with so many people!"
"What is this?" Roger didn't even bother to argue with Jason and directly threw a long sword in front of him.
Jason subconsciously picked up the sword and took a look at it. He immediately recognized that it was his brother's sword, and his expression changed drastically. Watson loved this sword very much, and would put it next to his pillow even when sleeping. Now this
The fact that the sword fell into Roger's hands is self-evident.
When Jason's face changed drastically, Roger knew that the other party understood the fate of the horse thief, and deliberately smiled slightly: "Originally, I wanted to bring the owner of this sword with me, but this guy's head was broken into pieces.
It’s inconvenient to take him with me, so I have to leave him in the Green Sea Forest. He must have become food for maggots now!”
"I'll kill you!" Jason, who had always been calm, was finally irritated by Roger and rushed towards him waving the long sword in his hand.
However, as an ordinary person, Jason was no match for Roger. Roger unhurriedly pulled out the long sword from Bonnie's waist beside him and slashed straight at Jason's neck. The blade of the sword quickly passed through the tax.
He cut off the officer's throat and cut off his head cleanly, and a stream of blood spurted straight into the air at any time, as high as two stories high.
Jason's head-headed corpse ran forward two more steps before slumping to the ground. This villain, who had dominated Kent Town for more than a year, was finally turned into a head-less corpse under Roger's hands.
