Chapter 55 Manor Rules (5K)
The farmhouse area of the manor is located in the northwest corner of the manor. At this time, a group of farmers are surrounding the door of a farmhouse.
In the farmhouse, the young first-order knight Jerry was standing there at a loss.
Lying on the ground was a middle-aged man wearing a linen shirt. His body was stiff and motionless, and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth.
There was a girl lying next to the middle-aged man. Her clothes were disheveled and her hair looked very messy. She kept stroking the middle-aged man's cheek while crying and calling her father to wake up.
Seeing more and more people gathering, Jerry became more and more anxious. He walked forward, kicked the middle-aged man on the back, and said, "Get up, get up quickly, you son of a bitch." What are you pretending to be?"
When the onlookers saw that Jerry was still committing violence, they became furious. Several people rushed into the farmhouse to stop Jerry.
Jerry clenched his fists with both hands, stood forward with his chest raised, and shouted loudly: "What do you want to do? I'm a knight. I'm not afraid of death. Come here and try to touch me?" When everyone saw
Jerry's fierce look on his face, they suddenly panicked. Stunned, they all stopped.
A stooped old man squeezed into the crowd. Seeing this scene, he quickly leaned over to check the middle-aged man's injuries.
After discovering that his heartbeat had stopped, the old man stood up shakily and stared directly at Jerry.
Jerry was a little frightened by the old man's stare. He couldn't help but take a step back and said, "Old guy, I didn't mean to do it. I just pushed him and he became like this." The old man didn't speak, but his eyes were filled with emotion
. Lonely and helpless. He sighed slightly, lowered his body and began to slowly arrange the girl's hair and clothes.
"Mayor, he wanted to rape me and kill my father." The girl hugged the old man, buried her head in his shoulder, and cried loudly.
The old man patted her head gently and said softly: "Good boy, don't cry. I am no longer the mayor. We are all farmers in Saldin Manor now." "Will
Lord Saldin do justice for us?" ?" the girl asked with sobs.
The old man's face froze and he fell into silence.
His name is Pop Jacob, and he was originally the mayor of Shaker Town.
After Shaker Town suffered a bloody massacre by Marquis Arnold, the old mayor sued to no avail, and instead was assassinated. So Pope Jacob took over the position of mayor.
In the following years, the iron mines were gradually exhausted, and Marquis Arnold left the town behind. The residents of the town were just about to see the light of day again, but they were constantly bullied by Baron Nora.
Unable to resist, and knowing that it would be useless to complain to the city hall, Pop Jacob had no choice but to accept the situation and deal with it carefully. The women of Shaker Town had no idea how much they had been ruined by Baron Nora over the years.
Finally, Romo creates an opportunity for them to seek revenge and escape from Baron Nora's shadow.
After that, Pope Jacob was afraid that he would be oppressed by other nobles again, and saw that the livelihood of the townspeople was dwindling and unsustainable, so he simply took most of the people to the Saldin Manor.
What he originally thought was that under the protection of this powerful and kind-hearted Lord Saldin, the townspeople would live a good life.
The fact was as he expected. The steward Barron distributed a lot of grain and seeds to them, and also designated a piece of land for them to open up wasteland.
Pope has been discussing the cultivation of herbs and food with Barron these days, and also plans to lead the townspeople to build a new canal.
Everything seems to be going in a good direction.
But I didn't expect that such bullying would still happen.
Seeing how domineering the young knight in front of him made Pope feel chilled, but he was helpless.
Jerry is a member of the Manor Knights. People like them are strong and treated aloof. How can they take the bankers seriously?
Even if you go to Lord Saltin, you can't punish your own knight for the sake of a small farmer.
Thinking of this, Popper sighed. The only thing he could do now was to persuade the girl to live strong.
As long as you can survive, just accept some humiliation.
As long as you can survive.
The girl cried in Pop's arms for a while. Seeing that Pop didn't answer, she asked again: "Mayor, will Mr. Saldin do justice to us?" "I don't know. My child, don't be too angry.
" I'm sad, your father." Pop tried to comfort him, but didn't know how to say it.
Seeing Pop's hesitant look, the girl already understood something in her heart.
She wiped away her tears, stood up, stroked her already wrinkled clothes, and said softly: "My father. He is still waiting for me." As she said that, she broke away from
Pop and moved forward. As soon as he rushed, he hit the iron rake on the wall directly.
With a 'bang' sound, the girl's forehead hit the tip of the rake heavily, and then she fell to the ground. The blood that burst out immediately stained her whole pretty face red.
The crowd suddenly exploded with uproar. Popper's heart trembled, and he quickly stepped forward, picked up the girl, tore off his clothes and covered her wound with all his strength.
"Go find Dr. Sandy!"
Everyone shouted.
Two strong women hurriedly stepped forward, took the girl with blood on her face from Pop's arms, and rushed out of the crowd.
Jerry stood aside and relaxed a little when he saw that everyone's attention was on the girl.
He was looking for a chance to escape when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
"Get out of the way, the lord is coming!"
When the crowd heard this, they dispersed and made way for a way out.
Lomo strolled in along the road, followed by Barron and Nicholas.
Looking at the scene in front of him, he first squatted down to observe the middle-aged man's wounds, and then felt his breath.
After confirming that the middle-aged man was dead, Luo Mo stood up with a livid face and asked Pop on the side: "Pop, are these the townspeople you brought?"
Pop bowed to Luo Mo and said respectfully: " Yes, Lord Saldin."
"What's your name?"
"Leonard, Lord."
Lomo nodded and turned his eyes to Nicholas behind him: "Nicholas, you led the militia and the selection of the knights. You are in charge. Did you teach them the rules of the Sardin Manor before the selection?"
Feeling Lomo's oppressive gaze, Nicholas' lips suddenly became dry. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said, "I have already taught you, sir." "
Okay, let's follow the rules." Luo Mo said.
Jerry noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, scratched his head, smiled, and bowed and said: "Sir, I was wrong. The girl in this family is so beautiful that I can't control myself. But I swear I really didn't think about it. Kill her father. The main reason is that her father is a bit unbeatable, so I just randomly punched him twice and pushed him, and he told me that I am willing to accept the punishment, sir. I will never dare to do it again next time."
"Punishment?" Romo glanced coldly at the young man who had just been promoted to a knight, then turned to Nicholas and said: "Tell everyone, how are the crimes of rape and murder punished in the manor code." Nicholas cleared his throat
. , said loudly to everyone: "Article 13 of the Manor Code: Those who commit rape will be castrated and have their hands cut off; those who commit murder will be hanged to avoid death. Today, Jerry Howard committed two crimes and should be castrated first. , chop off his hands, and then hang him."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Luo Mo blankly. They watched the behavior and realized that Romo would punish Jerry, but they did not expect that the punishment would be so severe.
Pop was stunned for a moment. It turns out that the provisions in the manor code also target knights?
You must know that Lord Saldin spent a lot of money to train these knights. Would he really kill his knights for a banker?
Popper suddenly had a feeling in his heart that this lord really regarded the civilians as human beings instead of working tools.
Jerry looked at Luo Mo blankly. He was in a daze, and extreme fear filled his heart.
With a 'pop', Jerry knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Luo Mo and said, "Sir, I was wrong. Please spare my life! I have just been promoted to a first-level knight, and I really don't want to die. Please Lord, spare my life, spare me. Spare me."
Romo ignored Jerry's plea. He walked out of the farmhouse and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, listen, I personally issued the manor rules. Every word represents my own wishes. Anyone who violates the code will be regarded as disobedience to me, and I will never forgive him lightly!" Everyone
looked at the majestic and inviolable Luo Mo, and half-knelt down together He said: "Yes! My lord!"
"Get up, no need to kneel!" Luo Mo waved his hand and said: "There is no such thing as kneeling to me in the code." "
Yes, my lord!" Everyone knelt down to Luo Mo again, and then Stand up together.
Romo turned around and said to Nicholas: "Prepare the gallows for execution."
"As you command, my lord!" Nicholas immediately stepped forward, dragging Jerry, who was already limp on the ground, and walked out of the crowd.
The gloom on Luomo's face dissipated, and he asked Pope softly: "Where is his daughter?" When
Pope heard this question, his cheek muscles trembled slightly, and he could no longer hold it up, and for a while he burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?" Luo Mo was a little confused: "Are you dissatisfied with my sentence?"
"No, sir." Pope looked excited at the moment. He wiped the tears from his wrinkles and said in a sad tone: "His My daughter Jasmine just asked me whether the lord will uphold justice. I regret not giving her a positive answer. The child couldn't think about it for a moment and bumped into the iron rake." "Huh?" Luo Mo was shocked and asked hurriedly:
" How is she doing now?"
"She has been sent to Dr. Sandy." someone answered.
Lomo was silent for a moment and said to Barron next to him: "Tell Sandy to do his best to rescue the girl. Also, give Leonard a good burial." "Understood,
sir." Barron hurriedly received the order. Push through the crowd and convey Lomo's orders to Sandy.
The gallows was quickly pulled to the center of the square, and everyone put down their work to watch Jerry's execution.
Luo Mo also stood in the distance, silently watching the execution process.
This execution was targeted at everyone in the manor.
As the manor's population grows, he must establish a strict and orderly social order.
Only in this way can the stability of the manor be maintained and everyone's sense of belonging and security enhanced.
This is a guarantee for people to live and work in peace and contentment, and it can also be more inspiring, so that the entire estate will be more cohesive and centripetal.
At the same time, those knights who have received high-quality resources must know that after receiving the corresponding privileges, there will also be corresponding restrictions and prohibitions.
Only by enforcing orders and prohibitions can a strong army be created.
He wants to ensure that everyone must obey him and obey his rules.
Those who disobey will end up like this Jerry. As long as he breaks the rules, no matter how fast his promotion is, he will never be merciful.
In front of the execution platform, the villagers watched Jerry being castrated with a knife and then cutting off his hands. They suddenly burst into loud cheers, almost drowning out Jerry's screams.
Some of the knights standing nearby were gloating about the misfortune and cheering along with the dealers, while others looked worried, secretly wondering if they had underestimated these rules.
Some even secretly made up their minds to memorize these rules by heart in the future.
After all, they have gone through arduous training and finally been promoted to knights. They must not lose their bright future because of some unnecessary mistakes.
Nicholas, who presided over the execution, was also very worried. The way Luo Mo looked at him just now was obviously blaming him for not telling the knights the importance of the code.
With awe in his heart, he secretly decided that he must not slack off in education in this area from now on, otherwise the adults might remove him as a training instructor.
Two hours later, the execution was finally over. Jerry's body was to be hung on the gallows for three days and three nights.
Everyone left one after another, excitedly discussing the details of the execution. It's like watching an exciting show.
Luomo took Barron into the hospital. He wanted to see if the bullied girl had been rescued.
On the hospital bed, the bearded Sandy was still treating Luo Mo with all his heart. When he saw Luo Mo arriving, he quickly bowed and saluted.
"How's it going?" Luo Mo asked.
Sandy shook his head helplessly and said with a panicked look: "Sir, this girl hit her very hard. Although the bleeding stopped, the wound was a bit deep and she is still unconscious." Luo Mo nodded slightly
. Nodding, he signaled Sandy not to panic, and said softly: "Just do your best to treat him, don't feel any pressure. I won't blame you if you can't cure him." "
Yes, sir." Sandy suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Mo glanced at the girl and was about to leave when a man and a woman suddenly walked in from outside.
The man is of middle age, with a slender figure. He looks somewhat elegant, but he is extremely thin. Even his cheeks are sunken, and he can be said to be as skinny as a stick.
The girl next to her looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was also very thin and frail. She wore the linen uniform of the manor and a cloak on her head, covering most of her face.
She hid behind the man, hunched over, looking a little timid, but her eyes were very beautiful. Under the long eyelashes, the pure black eyes look sparkling and moving.
"Greetings, sir." The man walked to the bedside, pulled the girl and bowed to Luo Mo.
Barron on the side quickly whispered to Luo Mo: "The two of them are refugees from the north. They have been in the manor for more than a month." "Oh" Luo Mo nodded and asked: "You
guys What are you doing here?"
"The girl behind me knows how to treat illnesses, so I want to give it a try." the man said.
When Dr. Sandy heard this, he suddenly said with disdain: "You said you can cure diseases, I still believe it. What does such a young girl know?" I saw the young girl walking out from behind her father
, He raised his hands and made several gestures towards Luo Mo.
"Still mute?" Dr. Sandy suddenly became even more stunned.
"What is she talking about?" Barron also asked a little confused.
The man was silent for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "She said she is a demon and has mastered some natural magic." Everyone was shocked when they heard
this.
The principle behind demonized humans and demonized beasts is the same. Due to some adventures or other special reasons, they accidentally communicated with other worlds and then mastered some special magic.
This kind of person is unique and extremely rare.
But because they were acquired accidentally, these people sometimes lose control of their magic and become very dangerous.
When Barron heard this, he immediately took a step forward, subconsciously protecting Luo Mo behind him, and said sternly: "Then why are you just saying it now?"
As an old man in his sixties, he had heard this all his life. There were too many legends about demons killing and hurting people. To him, the girl in front of him was a magic bomb that could be detonated at any time.
The girl in the cloak heard Barron's question and raised her hands again to gesture.
Everyone couldn't understand and had no choice but to look at the man in front of her.
The man slowly said: "Sir, please rest assured, she has never lost control since she obtained magic. She could have hidden it all the time. But now she feels that Sir Saldin is a good person, and this girl is Her good friend. So she is willing to try."
