The townspeople expressed their opinions one after another, and even the well-informed businessmen were very surprised. [] The warehouse was filled with golden wheat, as well as bundles of straw and large piles of bran.
.
As long as you are not blind, you can tell that there is no shortage of food in the town as Renault said. There is enough food for everyone to eat for a long time. This made the townspeople who decided to stay cheered and felt that it was really not necessary to fully trust the lord.
There will be mistakes. And those who expressed their intention to leave turned pale, knowing that they were on the wrong team this time.
The instigator this time, Renault, had collapsed to the ground. The first time he saw such food, he knew that he had no chance. No lord would let go of the instigator, and now the end was decided for Renault.
The only difference is whether you can die happily or not.
"Everyone is here, is Kent Town short of food?" When the crowd's voices became quieter, Roger raised a hand and said loudly: "I declare that we will continue to sell food at low prices in the future. All decisions
Everyone who stays in Kent Town, regardless of gender or age, will receive a silver coin as a reward for your loyalty to me!"
Roger's decision was not made on a whim, but to better win over the hearts and minds of those townspeople who decided to stay. Anyway, the food was originally intended to be sold at a low price. Giving each person a silver coin is not a big expense, but it can be exchanged for
To bring more favor to the townspeople, this deal is definitely a good deal.
Sure enough, as soon as Roger finished speaking, the townspeople who decided to stay cheered with joy. Although giving each person a silver coin was a small amount of money to Roger, it was an extra income for these townspeople.
What's more, only the lords have collected taxes from the people in the territory. How can there be any reason to distribute money to the people?
This made these townspeople feel grateful to Roger and determined to follow this lord no matter what. In layman's terms, following Roger would mean having meat to eat. Who would betray such a good lord?
But some people are happy and others are sad. Those who had just expressed their intention to leave Kent Town were dumbfounded. Only in the face of the facts did these people understand that the food shortages and the like were all rumors. There was no shortage of food in the town at all, and they were forced by Renault
That bastard lied.
"Lord, please have mercy on me." A guy who had previously said he wanted to leave the town suddenly knelt down and cried bitterly and said to Roger: "Our family has just arrived in Kent Town not long ago. If we leave now, there will be no way to survive!"
Someone started, and others also begged Roger for mercy. Compared with other places, the life in Kent Town can definitely be described as "happy". There are no unbearable taxes like those in other territories. Everyone is happy.
You can find a job and buy it from the lord at a very cheap price.
It often takes just one person to work to support a family of four, which is simply unimaginable in other places. What's more, anyone with a little bit of vision can figure out that as long as the food problem can be solved, Kent Town will definitely do it.
It is developing better day by day, and there are plenty of opportunities if you stay here.
But because of a wrong judgment, these people lost the right to continue living here, which made them regretful and unwilling. They also wanted to make a last-ditch effort to impress Roger, a lord known as "merciful".
It is a pity that because Lisa was seriously injured, Roger's heart was as hard as steel at this time. He did not pay attention to these people's pleas, but immediately announced loudly: "Drive these people out of the town, I will send
People kept staring at them until these people left my territory!"
Those people still wanted to cry and beg a few words, but Roger's soldiers would not give them such a chance. Forced by unsheathed weapons, these people reluctantly walked out of the town, completely alienating the beautiful life in Kent Town.
Farewell.
"Since these people want to leave, I will give them what they want!" Roger said loudly: "Whoever wants to leave in the future can come and go freely, and this lord will never interfere!"
Although Roger said so, no one would be stupid enough to actually do it. Everyone knows that Kent Town has a bright future. It may not be easy to move here in the future, and that idiot will give up and stay here.
Power? After what happened today, even many businessmen are a little tempted and are considering whether to transfer most of their industries to Kent Town. After all, the taxes here are so low and the transportation is convenient for businessmen.
It couldn't be more appropriate.
Roger waited for a while and no one said anything, then he turned his attention to the more than a hundred tied up mob and said coldly: "Now it's time to settle accounts with you!"
These mobs were glanced at by Roger's murderous eyes, and they were all frightened like quails facing an eagle. However, Roger had no sympathy for them at all. He saw everything these guys did in the Baron Mansion, and the most important thing was
It was the knife that wounded Lisa that had already decided the fate of the mob.
"You participated in the attack on the Baron's Mansion with the intention of assassinating my lord. Your crime is unpardonable!" Roger said mercilessly: "I sentence all of you... to death by hanging!"
As soon as Roger said these words, the mob all collapsed to the ground. Originally, they had a glimmer of hope, thinking that this lord with a "merciful" reputation would let them live, and they would only serve a few years of hard labor at most.
Thinking that Roger sentenced everyone to hanging without blinking an eye, there was no hesitation at all. These were more than a hundred people, and Roger just opened his mouth and decided their tragic fate.
In fact, even other townspeople and businessmen were surprised. Many people couldn't help but re-examine their lord. Only then did everyone gradually understand that their lord was not just a benevolent man. If it were true
If Roger is angered, he will kill without hesitation.
In fact, these people have never seen Roger's performance on the battlefield. As long as he faced his enemies, he never showed mercy. In fact, many more people died at Roger's hands than everyone imagined.
"As for Renault and Oden, one instigated and the other participated in the attempt to kill the lord's maid, both will be punished with an additional penalty!" Roger's eyes fell on the last two people and said: "I declare that these two people are sentenced to sit on the stake!
"
When they heard the punishment of "sitting on a stake", not only others were confused, but even Renault and Oden themselves were confused. There is no such punishment in the world of Toulonzo, and I don't know what Roger meant by this.
.
But soon everyone understood what sitting on a stake meant, and even the well-informed businessmen were frightened by this unprecedented and terrifying punishment.
Two wooden sticks with sharpened tops were erected at the entrance of the town. Reynaud and Oden, whose hands and feet were bound, were carefully placed on the top of the sticks, and then their suffering began.
The two people who were tied up couldn't stand at all, and they couldn't help but sink when they were put on the wooden stick. Then the sharpened top of the wooden stick slowly penetrated the two people's anus, causing them to cry loudly in pain.
The screams could be heard clearly by everyone in the town.
Although the two of them used all their strength to grab the wooden stick, their tied hands and feet could not stop the wooden stick from going deeper without using any strength at all. Renault and Oden screamed and tried their best to prevent themselves from sliding down, but they still couldn't.
It sank bit by bit, and blood quickly poured out from the lower bodies of the two men.
Everyone who saw this scene turned pale with fright. No one thought that there was such a terrible punishment in this world. A businessman was covered in cold sweat and asked Roger with a trembling sneer: "Sir, this kind of punishment is too long."
How long will it take before the prisoner dies?"
"That depends on the executioner's skills. If the wooden stick is cut well and placed in the right position, it should be fine for two or three days." Roger, who had no experience himself, began to talk nonsense: "But my men have no experience.
, it’s good if these two people can survive for more than half a day.”
Roger's words made everyone around him gasp. Such pain should be endured for two or three days. It is more terrifying than the church's burning at the stake. Even if you can die in half a day, it is very terrible to endure such pain for such a long time.
.
Originally, the mob was still feeling sad about what happened to them, but Renault and Oden looked like they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although death is inevitable, it is better than dying after suffering so much pain.
By the evening of that day, all the mob members were hanged from the big tree at the entrance of the town. Fortunately, the tree was big enough, and it did not fall down even after hanging so many people. The punishment in front of the tree continued, and Renault and Austrian
Den was still sitting on the wooden stick, but a long section of the wooden stick had already penetrated the two people's bodies, causing them terrible injuries and also causing them great pain.
Oden, who had been injured before, had already breathed his last because of his physical weakness, but Renault was still lingering. However, his screams had the strength, and he just instinctively hugged the wooden stick, but he suffered more injuries as a result.
pain.
The onlookers had dispersed, and only two guards were still standing at their posts. Roger Shiran came to Renault and said without any emotion: "Tell me who ordered you to come, and I will give you a pleasure."
"W...Wood!" At this time, Renault was in pain and just wanted to be freed quickly, so he said the name without any hesitation.
Roger was not surprised when he heard the name that he had expected. He just nodded to a guard. The guard took out his sword with understanding and chopped off Renault's head with one blow.
"It's Wood again..." Roger had had enough of this neighbor and decided to settle the accounts between the two at once.
But now that Roger is the lord of a place, he can't just leave as he wanted before. There are still many things that need to be arranged for him before leaving Kent Town, which will definitely delay him for one night. And the Baron's Mansion has not been cleaned up yet, so
Roger could only spend the night in a hotel in the town that night.
As a dignified lord, he had to stay in an inn within his territory. This made Roger feel very embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do.
As soon as Roger settled down in the best guest room of the hotel, someone knocked gently on his door. Hearing this familiar knock, a smile appeared on Roger's face.
