"Of course I want to do it, Lord Woolley. Baker smiled and said, "And I promise to do a good job, and I will do whatever you want me to do, I will do it." "

Well, I love to hear that. A smile appeared on Woolley's face and he waved his hand, "Sit down, sit down." Baker

sat down and said in his heart that your face changed so quickly, it was obvious that you were scaring me just now.

But after thinking about it, Baker's heart was a little more calm, unlike the other colleagues, the temptation of gold coins was far greater than power, so in general, Baker could be attributed to the kind of people who had no ambitions.

Woolley spoke slowly: "Beck, I actually admire you more. "

Thank you, Lord Woolley, it's my pleasure. Baker hurriedly thanked him.

"It's been less than two days since I came to Salt Marsh, and Hubble, Henry, and Tours have all gone to Lunvington City, and Tours hasn't come back yet, and I don't bother to guess what I'm going to do, anyway, I know it won't be a good intention, Baker, what do you think?" Woolley asked suddenly.

"This ...... I think you're right, Lord Woolley, that they, well, probably don't mean much. "Of course, Baker knew why those guys wanted to go to Lincington City, and if Woolley hadn't come out with the 8,500 gold coins at that time, he would probably have gone to Lwinton City as well.

"Look, even you think so, and to be honest, I have a crush on you alone, do you know why?" asked Woolley again.

Baker hurriedly shook his head, and said in his heart I don't even know if your words are true or false, how can I know why.

It doesn't matter if Baker can't answer, Woolley doesn't really intend to ask him to answer anyway, but immediately gives his own answer: "Because you didn't mix with them, Beck, you may not know how much it means to you." Baker

nodded hurriedly, and said in his heart I don't see much meaning, you just stroked Henry the night before and came to beat me today, so it seems that you didn't treat me differently.

"Baker, I need an assistant who is loyal to me, to help me restore the prosperity of the town as much as possible, whether it is for public or private purposes, I hope that the town of salt marsh will get better and better, Baker, how much difference a rich town can make between a poor town, I don't think you need my prompting. Woolley deliberately said vaguely, but Baker quickly "understood".

It turned out that he asked me to join me to "make a fortune", Baker was overjoyed, and immediately patted his chest: "Lord Woolley, if you have any orders, I, Baker, will only be the first to look forward to you." "

Really?" asked Woolley, raising an eyebrow.

"Sincerely, of course. Baker nodded earnestly.

"Okay, then remember what you said today, during this time, I will move the personnel and establishment in the official residence according to my own ideas, and when the time comes, it will depend on your performance. Woolley smiled and said.

......

After Baker left, Woolley went to the cell where Bird was being held.

At Woolley's orders, the cell had been cleaned up, and it had been replaced with new bedding, mats, and even fresh fruit and some cooked cured meats, and if it weren't for Bird's injuries, Woolley would not have minded being more generous, such as bringing him a few more bottles of wine.

Nivea is still there, Bird has a little fever in the past two days, she looks distressed, where is she willing to leave like this, Woolley did not object, but sent two more people outside the prison to watch, but that's all, the change of dressings and the delivery of meals are all opened and closed by the guards themselves, and they are not afraid that Nivea will take Bird away, because it is impossible to achieve.

"Lord Woolley. Nivea heard the lock ring, thinking it was a guard coming in to deliver something, but before she could turn around, she saw Woolley push the door and walk in.

"Sit down. Wu Lai waved his hand, walked quickly to Bird's bedside, looked at it twice, and nodded with a smile, "I have recovered well, and after a month of cultivation, I can live again."

Bird didn't say anything, he naturally already knew what Nivea promised Woolida, these things are obviously contrary to his consistent philosophy, most of the bandits are slaves and commoners who have been oppressed by the nobility to the point of having no way out, and the knife licking blood is just a matter of survival, but Woolley wants Nivea to betray them in exchange for his freedom and safety, how can this make Bird endure.

Woolley knew what Bird was thinking, of course he knew why the bandits were bandits, but his duty was to ensure the safety of Salt Marsh Town, and the lives of the bandits were their lives, and the lives of the townspeople weren't

they "Nivea, I have something to ask you, last night I looked at the records of attacks on Salt Marsh in the past few years, and found something very interesting. Woolley sat down, and continued, "Whenever there are merchants in the town, or there are large quantities of supplies, or large sums of money are gathered, bandit groups will come to attack the town, how can your information be so accurate?

Bird frowned.

Nivea glanced at Bird, then turned her gaze to Woolley, a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Inconvenient to say?" Woolley frowned.

"Lord Woolley, the question you ask is difficult to answer, and even if you did, it wouldn't do you any good. Nivea politely refused, of course she knew that she couldn't say this, because if it was leaked, Woolley might be fine, but she, Bird, and the hundreds of men and women in Raven Valley were afraid that their lives would be lost.

"Is it wide-ranging?" asked Woolley.

Nivea nodded: "Lord Woolley, the consequences will be very serious, once these things are leaked, it is hard to say whether Lord Woolley and the town of Salt Marsh will be retaliated against, those brothers and sisters in the Crow Valley have absolutely no way to live, you think about it, they are homeless and have nowhere to go before they gather around Bird, once they leave the Raven Valley, it is lucky that they can become slaves again without giving up their lives."

Wu Lai nodded, and suddenly asked: "Are you worried about

Baiguo Town......" As soon as the three words Baiguo Town entered her ears, a trace of surprise flashed through Nivea's eyes, and she subconsciously glanced at Bird, and then saw the same emotion in Bird's eyes.

Woolley smiled even more, and Nivea and Bird's actions confirmed his thoughts—when he heard Sibbanok report on his encounter with Tours and Henry at the Binkgo Tavern that night, Woolley felt that the Bgo Tavern was a contact point for the bandits, perhaps the largest one.

Now it seems that this speculation is obviously correct, but it is still a little vague in the details.

The start was good, Wu Lai naturally had to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and after smiling slightly, he Shi Shiran got up and said: "Actually, I understand this matter, but I just want to know more, since you two are not sincere, then forget it, I'll go." "

Lord Woolley, please stay. Nivea was a little remorseful, fearing that she had annoyed Woolley and made her hopes come to naught, so she hurriedly called.

Wu Lai turned back slowly, frowned, and asked, "Is there anything else?" "

Nivea, forget it, just do what you want, accept your fate, I'm going to die, don't bother everyone." Bird suddenly stopped.

"No, I can die, you can't. Nivea hurriedly said, "You want to live well, you promised me."

"Yes, of course you can live, but I am disappointed by your sincerity, and I suddenly have an idea that it would be good if I split the two of you so that you both will never see each other in your life. Woolley snorted coldly and walked towards the door.

"I beg you, Lord Woolley, I will tell you everything you want to know. Nivea hurriedly stopped Woolley, she was frightened by Woolley's words just now, which may not have been useful to Bird, but it was a mortal threat to Nivea.

"Nivea, don't say it, you're going to hurt everyone!" Bird yelled.

"Shut up!" Woolley frowned, and was about to say something more when the voice of a guard suddenly came from outside the door.

"Tell Lord Woolley! Lord Hubble was assassinated during his speech! Lord Baker, please come and have a look!" the guard's voice was anxious.

Assassination?Can it not be so exaggerated?Woolley shook his head with a wry smile, reached out and pushed Nivea away, and said as he walked out, "You two discuss it first, and I'll come back later." "

Yes, Lord Woolley. Nivea replied.

......

When he saw Hubble's injuries, Woolley was sure of one thing - this guy was not pretending, but was actually assassinated.

If Woolley's thoughts at the moment could be known by Hubble, he would definitely jump up from the bed and point at Woolley's nose and scold, in fact, even if he didn't know, he would have wanted to scold Woolley, because if Woolley hadn't asked him to go to the canal protection site to give a speech, he might not have to take these few beatings.

But at this time, Hubble couldn't scold Woolley, because he was not lightly injured, and the most serious part was a thin dagger pierced straight into the mouth from the right cheek, his face was broken, his tongue was broken, and even a few teeth were missing, and his face was covered with bandages at this time, where could he still speak.

"Where's the injury?" Woolley asked Baker, who was frowning from the side.

"A sword was stabbed in the face, and the left thigh was also stabbed. Baker thought back to Hubble's bloody appearance just now, and he was chilled, knowing that Hubble's appearance at that time was too miserable.

"I heard someone caught it?" asked Woolley again.

Baker nodded: "There are three people in total, and all of them were originally caught, but one of them was beaten to death by the townspeople, by the way, the townspeople who caught them just asked about the reward, and said that you promised it." "

Yes, I did promise, I'll write a note of approval in a while, and give a reward of two gold coins to a bandit, and you have to continue to do a good job for me in the street cleaning operation." Woolley paused, then asked, "Is there an interrogation?"

Baker replied quickly.

"I was interrogated and sent to the official residence. Woolley suddenly sighed and said, "It's not the right time for Hubble to be injured, it's the time to use people, how can you say that he was assassinated, Hubble was injured when he was on an errand, so we can't let Hubble chill, Beck, I'll give you a note in a while, you go to the Gruul Treasurer to get some condolences for Hubble, by the way, what do you think of a hundred gold coins?

Baker said with sincere emotion, and said that just such a little injury is a hundred gold coins, and Hubble is too cost-effective.

Hubble was lying on the bed, although he couldn't speak or move, but his ears could hear the conversation between the two clearly, Woolley's was okay, how could Baker's words be so annoying, what do you mean "already a lot"?

Beck, or I will give you a hundred gold coins, and you will suffer this pain? Hubble said to Baker in his heart while enduring the pain.

"Baker, send someone to Luvington immediately to report the assassination wound of Officer Hubrian. "At the same time, I ask Lenvington to immediately arrange for someone to take over the position of Hubble's civil officer, and tell them that before the new civil officer comes, the work of the people of Salt Marsh Town will be taken over by me, the consul." "

Yes, Lord Woolley. Baker nodded and was suddenly stunned, and said that the assassination of Hubble could not have been done by this Lord Woolley, right?

Lord Woolley, I'm on your side, don't do it with me to consolidate your rights. Baker couldn't help but say to Woolley in his heart.
