Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries

Being able to extend the deadline would be the greatest help to Gudern.

Even if Matthews is not found, he can go to the arbitration office to complain about his grievances and let the imperial officials investigate the causes and consequences of this matter, which will definitely solve the problem.

And once the arbitration office intervenes, the Charleson family will not be able to escape. Although the matter of raising orc troops is not confirmed, it is almost certain.

Gooden had previously thought that it was the news sent back by Roy that made the other party give up prosecuting him.

But now based on the information, it can be judged that the feelings are the other party's own temporary pleasure.

If the arbitration office is really involved, the case of the 'fake' mine will not be worth mentioning in the face of something like 'raising orc troops' that touches the red line.

By that time, no one in the Charlieson family can escape.

"Besides..." Kroger scratched his head and paused.

"Speaking of which, I did know the whereabouts of Matthews before I came to Qingyuan Town, but now that it has been so long, I don't know if he is still there."

"If your lord can spare some manpower, you can send someone to take a look."

In tracing the whereabouts of Matthews, Gooden still had no news. Seeing that there was a breakthrough, he hurriedly spoke out.

"It's a good thing to find out his whereabouts. I sent people to search for dozens of days but couldn't find any information."

Seeing that Gudern was in such need, Kroger directly informed him of the information he knew.

"Matthews was sent to the east to collect taxes in the territory near the Golden Sea in the North Desert. The specific address is in Nabao Town. If you send someone there, you can stay in New Point City to get information."

"New Point City is also an important transportation place. If Matthews goes there, he will definitely pass by here and assign tasks here before heading to Naburg Town."

Hearing the name of the place, Gooden quickly ran through the memories in his mind.

The Northern Desert Golden Sea belongs to the northeastern territory of the empire and is connected to the North Peak Frost Realm, which is the northern border.

As for his Qingyuan Snow Ridge, as the territory at the northwest edge of the North, if he wanted to get close to the Golden Sea in the Northern Desert, he would have to span nearly 700 to 800 kilometers.

It would take people five or six days to reach this distance without stopping.

It’s no wonder that he issued a reward order and searched the places where the other party often visited, but there were no clues.

Do feelings run so far?

Matthews being moved so far away gave Gooden new doubts.

"Speaking of which, this time the tax collector changes the inspector, will the work location be moved so far away?"

Kroger shook his head and said.

"Logically speaking, it shouldn't happen. Work transfers are also disrupted in a small area. It is rare that there will be almost cross-region transfers, unless the other party applies for it themselves."

"When I came here, I also heard that he was transferred to such a far away place, so I paid attention to it."

After listening to the explanation, Gudern suddenly understood and nodded.

After the two briefly chatted for a while, Gooden asked to excuse himself for the time being.

Kroger knew that the other party was going to arrange the search for Matthews, so he said he would not bother him any more.

After seeing off Kroger, Gooden came to the training ground in the backyard.

"Suspend training and gather urgently."

Upon hearing the emergency call to assemble, the people who were still fighting in two rounds quickly dispersed, and then lined up in three rows as quickly as possible and in an orderly rhythm.

Two teams of new recruits and one team of 'instructor' soldiers, this was all the combat power that Gudern had in his hands.

Looking at the people who had assembled and arranged in less than ten seconds, Gooden's eyes were full of satisfaction, but his face still showed a serious look.

"I have to select personnel to carry out the urgent mission. The top five recruits with training scores and the top five instructors with the best scores will be selected."

"Crack-"

The ten people who reached the rank stepped out of the queue at the same time.

"Among the remaining personnel, the top five in liberal arts are among the top five."

Weiwei waits for a few seconds, and five qualified personnel also appear.

"The selected people line up and I announce the mission."

"The former imperial tax collector, Matthews, cooperated with foreign enemies and embezzled taxes. Now he has fled to Nabao Town near the Golden Sea in the Northern Desert to serve as a tax collector."

"It is currently known that the other party may leave clues in New Corner City. You need to find out his whereabouts as quickly as possible and 'invite' him back to Qingyuan Town."

"have you understood?"

"clear!"

A group of soldiers shouted loudly.

"This mission is very important. It can only succeed and cannot fail. Now go and change the equipment immediately. Each person has two horses. Take turns to change horses and set off!"

"yes!"

…

Chapter 75 Burning the Granary, Industry 2.0

In less than half an hour, fifteen soldiers led thirty war horses and rushed towards the outskirts of the town.

The appearance of being fully armed made everyone in the town a little surprised. Something big had happened, so that the lord's guards were dispatched collectively and fully armed.

Everyone in the town was talking about it for a while, and Kroger, who knew the truth, was also a little surprised by Gudern's quick action.

Being able to get the team together and ready to go in such a short period of time.

You must know that the destination is near the Golden Sea in the North Desert, which is seven or eight hundred kilometers away from here.

If it were a normal army to prepare for departure, it would take half a day for the same number of people. In addition, it is already evening before departure, so the actual departure will probably be tomorrow morning.

But Gudern and his soldiers didn't even have half an hour to prepare before they were fully armed and set off.

It seems that the other party has already made preparations to find Matthews...

On the castle, Gudern looked at the retreating team.

Matthews' pursuit team has set off, and it is time to arrange some advanced tasks.

Although he said that he would definitely complete the mission, the uncertainty of this hundreds of kilometers of pursuit was too great.

If Matthews gets a little bit of news in advance and hides anywhere, it is not certain whether he can find the person before the autumn harvest, even if it is pushed back to winter.

Therefore, in addition to moving quickly, he also has to prepare his backhand.

If Matthews cannot be found, Gooden can only find a breakthrough from the Charleson family.

Returning to the study, Gudern quickly wrote a secret order and notified the ordering guards.

"Give this order to Els and let him arrange it as quickly as possible."

"Yes, Master!"

Said to be a breakthrough, in fact, it is more appropriate to say it is an act of revenge.

The only solution now is Matthews. If there is an accident, he cannot be traced back.

Even if the witness on this line is eliminated, it will take a long time to complete the investigation if the arbitration agency intervenes to clear his grievances.

And if you want to feed the orcs to help him get out of the siege, you need to have solid evidence in your hands.

Otherwise, the people at the arbitration office may not take it seriously if you just make a report without any basis.

At most, they just send someone to go through the motions. This will not only alert the enemy, but may even force the opponent to jump over the wall and directly lift the table to mess with him.

To prevent the worst-case scenario, Gooden started making arrangements in advance.

Doesn’t the Charleson family attach great importance to food?

Then wait until their granary is burned down after the autumn harvest. After the granary is burned down, how can the Charlieson family still sit still if he can't do it?

Without the food to survive in the next year, can the huge Snow Valley Ridge and the orcs raised in hiding survive?

Once the orcs run out of food and are hiding, they will inevitably reveal some flaws. At that time, let the arbitration office intervene in the investigation.

The more chaotic the situation becomes, the more flaws will be exposed by the Charleson family. When they raise their debt grievances, they will be investigated and vindicated as a matter of course.

At the same time, the residents living in Xuegu Ridge will inevitably panic when they are short of food.

At that time, the news will be spread from Qingyuan Town, telling them that there is food, housing and work assigned here.

This will not only solve the problem, but also expand the population.

The strategy of killing three birds with one stone is simply not too profitable.

Els, who was in the process of training, immediately started to handle the task after receiving the secret order.

The task of burning the granary is not just to burn one or two, but to do it to the extreme, to burn all the granaries in Xuegu Ridge.

This would require a lot of manpower to handle the matter. In order to avoid suspicion, it was inevitable to lurk to Snow Valley Ridge in advance.

After Gudern arranged the tasks, he went out again and went to the Engineering Research Institute to arrange and plan the next round of construction research tasks.

When we come to the Research Institute of the Academy of Engineering, two two-story buildings and three bungalows next to the blacksmith shop are the places where the Academy of Engineering conducts research and development.

Everyone who was resting and chatting in one of the rooms saw Gudern's arrival and stood up to say hello.

"Master!"

"Well, sit down."

Gudern waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.

As the cement plant requires equipment to be completed, everyone who has been busy for seven or eight days rarely gets a half-day break.

There are a total of fourteen people in the room, including six who are supervising the machines outside. There are twenty people in total. This is all the personnel in the entire engineering academy.

With Gudern's permission, everyone sat back down and then Gudern opened his mouth to arrange the rewards for the last project.

"You have done a great job in the development of cement plant equipment. Let me briefly talk about the rewards now."

When they heard the reward was coming, everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"In addition to the monetary reward, all participants will receive a pound of crystal sugar and fine salt. There will also be a special reward tomorrow."

Upon hearing this reward, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief. Then someone shouted out happily, and then the room suddenly burst into violent cheers.

After everyone shouted for half a minute, Gooden signaled for silence and began to formally distribute tasks.
