King
Chapter 93 The essence of teamwork
Seeing the unfortunate guy lying in a pool of blood, everyone present was stunned. Especially the two warring parties were overwhelmed by this scene.
The young noble who took action had a deathly expression on his face, holding the hammer in panic and not knowing what to do. A fight is a trivial matter, but killing a nobleman is a devastating disaster.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on the noble in a pool of blood, Hudson once had the idea of abandoning the stall and running away in the chaos.
Anyway, he didn't start this fight, and he didn't put the person down either. It was just a hammer. As long as he fled the scene and refused to admit it, nothing would happen to him.
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you hurry up and call for a priest!"
Hudson scolded the crowd.
Reason told him not to run away. If he ran away at this time, there would be shit behind him.
The world of aristocrats is not only about evidence, but also about reputation. With a good reputation, you can eat well no matter where you are.
So many people present saw it, and they were able to escape responsibility, but they couldn't stop everyone from talking!
If a person doesn't know whether he is dead or not, and he rushes to run away, wouldn't it be telling others that the matter is related to him?
Instead of doing this, it is better to stay and deal with it actively. As the owner of the hammer, it would indeed be a bit troublesome to be involved, but that was just trouble.
Asking the pastor really reminded everyone. But this is a correct nonsense. Pastors will not come and eat dirt just after the war has subsided and the reconstruction work has just begun.
According to convention, a priest can move in only after the territory has a certain economic foundation and the church is repaired.
The specific level of a priest depends on the methods of the lords. Generally speaking, the richer the territory, the more popular it is with priests.
Because of the war, there was no trace of the priest for dozens of miles around Dadir City. By the time the priest was invited, the corpse was probably cold.
To rescue, just think about it. A group of elders simply bandaged the wound and it was really embarrassing to have such a bruise on the head.
If the person is rescued, everyone will be happy and can gain a lot of favors; but if the person disappears during the rescue process, it will be embarrassing.
If you can't get any favors, you might even be suspected of deliberate murder. Human nature is the least able to withstand the test.
As a strong talker, Hudson decisively chose to use his mouth to save people.
"That guy with the sledgehammer, why don't you put down your weapon quickly and rescue the wounded. If this kid on the ground dies, you will almost have to explain it."
Whoever caused the trouble is responsible for carrying the thunder. In line with the principle of not cheating anyone, Hudson decisively left the task of treating the wounded to the assailant.
"Oh, me?"
"But I can't save people!"
As he spoke, the young nobles surrounded by the crowd were about to cry.
Fortunately, his men were more powerful. At the critical moment, a middle-aged soldier in shabby clothes came out.
After finally not being too stupid, after reacting from the panic, the young noble immediately donated his own clothes to use as gauze to bandage the wound.
Intentional homicide and accidental homicide are not the same concepts. The former will most likely have to pay with his life, while the latter will be happy to offer the Northern Xinjiang Border Guard Package after compensating the other party for losses.
Although the days of being sent to the frontier are very hard and dangerous, compared with meeting the Lord of the Dawn directly, it is more comfortable to go to the northern frontier.
As long as there is no large-scale invasion by orcs, the annual death rate of the border guard nobles usually does not exceed 5%. More than half of these dead guys died in the process of catching slaves.
"The Sith Baron is here!"
I don't know who shouted, and the crowd tacitly gave way to a path.
+1 to the person responsible, and Hudson felt more at ease. With one more unlucky guy to accompany me, I don’t feel too lonely.
"Can any of you tell me what's going on here?"
The anxious Sith Baron asked helplessly.
He has dealt with many similar scenes, but this time the situation is particularly serious.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and at some point their eyes focused on Hudson. The expectant look in his eyes was obviously urging him to hurry up.
There is no surprise. There is another dispute between the Northern Xinjiang nobles and the local nobles. The Sith Baron can represent the Northern Xinjiang nobles. Naturally, there must be someone with matching status among the local nobles to come forward.
Unfortunately, among the local nobles present, only Hudson was more famous.
Although he belongs to the neutral camp, it does not prevent everyone from pushing him to the forefront. After all, this kind of thing is often accompanied by a series of wrangling. If the representative is too weak, he will suffer a big loss.
"Isn't the situation obvious? A group of people arranged a fight here. During the fight, they lost control of their emotions. They accidentally created the current situation."
Hudson said evasively.
Status determines the position. Even if he thinks that the impulsive young noble in the middle should bear the responsibility, for the sake of being a local noble, he still has to defend one or two points.
"It's almost a matter of life. Your Excellency just casually defines it as a fight. I'm afraid you can't explain it!"
Sith said coldly.
Now his status is really embarrassing. On the one hand, he has to protect the interests of the noble camp in northern Xinjiang, and on the other hand, he has to maintain the stability of the city.
"There is no need to go into these details. With our current status, you and I are not qualified to deal with this matter. It doesn't count anyway, so why waste your time here!
Protect the scene. His Excellency the Governor will arrive in Dadir City soon. Report it directly when the time comes, and he will give a fair decision. "
Professional level blame-shifting, choked Sith half to death. Reporting to the Governor for a ruling, Hudson's matter was over, but his troubles had just begun.
Not to mention that as the host, he has no responsibility to maintain order. His status as the leader of the nobles in Northern Xinjiang requires him to continue to follow up.
If nothing else goes wrong, the next person who will argue with him will not be a small fish like Hudson, but a senior official in the Governor's Mansion.
Instead of arguing with the officials in the Governor's Mansion, it is better to come to a conclusion now and at least be able to take the initiative.
"I didn't expect that the famous Divine Bow Knight here would actually let us meet on such an occasion. But you are so protective of this person, could it be..."
Hudson was not surprised at all when his identity was revealed. With the iconic Earth Bear there, there are really not many people who can't recognize his identity.
It's just that this kind of half-talking, which is the easiest way to make people think wildly, is really disgusting to him.
"It's not important whether it's possible or not. The Sith Baron has time to care about these details, so he might as well hurry up and rescue the wounded.
Think about it, with your moral cultivation, even if this unlucky guy has offended you before, he won't be willing to die without saving you now, right? "
Hudson retorted unceremoniously.
Since you dared to point the finger at him, no wonder he fought back.
What makes Hudson strange is that he seems to have never offended this person, but as soon as this guy finds out his identity, he becomes very hostile to him.
Is there a conflict of interest between the two?
It is indeed possible, but it is all potential.
The person in front of me doesn’t look like a fool, does he?
If there may be potential conflicts of interest, we must become enemies. Then everyone in the world will be enemies.
It’s like choosing not to eat or drink if you might choke to death if you eat or if you drink water.
Not knowing the reason didn't prevent the two from conflicting. Others have handed over knives, but Hudson will not be deterred.
Although the Sith Baron is the most powerful noble among the two counties, if there is a real confrontation, it is not certain who will suffer!
Hudson didn't think that the nobles of Northern Xinjiang would really listen to his command. Even the retainers and children of the Felix family might not really take his illegitimate son seriously.
The two fell into a stalemate, and the crowd of onlookers split into two waves. Looking at the eager expressions, it seems that the two of them can have sex here.
Obviously this can't happen. Fighting on other people's territory is definitely asking for trouble. As a cautious person like Hudson, he would definitely not choose violence to solve the problem.
The Sith Baron also didn't dare to take action. As a host, it was just that he couldn't maintain order. If he led his people to fight with the guests, his reputation would be really bad.
In fact, he regrets it now. Although he suspected that Hudson had colluded with his competitors, the score could be settled later, and there was no need to fall out at this time.
Now the two of them stabbed each other with knives, and no one was able to get an advantage, and they even got into a fight with each other.
If they continue to fight like this, the two unlucky guys, who have little to do with this, might get involved.
"Don't worry, Baron Hudson. In order to avoid accidents, I have already sent for a priest."
Sith said coldly.
Although this statement is true, it is only half the truth. He had indeed invited the pastor early, but unfortunately the financial backers behind these people were local nobles and did not buy into his account at all.
Finally, I met someone who accepted the invitation, but it turned out that the guy's ancestors had a feud with the Felix family, so he directly got involved with him. He promised to do well, but no one was seen.
"It's best to do this naturally. Now that the Sith Baron is ready, we can feel relieved when we hand over the wounded to you.
Everyone, please disperse. Just leave this place to the Sith Baron. There is no need for us to stay here and cause trouble. "
After saying that, regardless of whether the Sith Baron was willing to take over this mess, Hudson turned around and left without giving him a chance to refuse.
The local nobles reacted and chose to follow without hesitation. The one lying down was the noble from the North, and the hot potato was thrown out. They continued to stay as witnesses for the other party. Everyone was not that great.
Anyway, the person is still alive, so it was just a violent incident. If someone dies in an accident next, and there are no local nobles to bear witness, it will be a bad thing.
The spearhead, Hudson, had been arranged, and the injured had a problem with the Sith Baron. Regardless of whether it is true or false, the local nobles selectively believe that it is true.
If the injured person dies unfortunately, there will be two suspects, and it will be a complete bad debt.
Of course, the fact that the Sith Baron had an affair with the wounded was purely based on what Hudson said and cannot withstand in-depth examination. This bad debt will be even more detrimental to the middle-class nobleman who made the move.
But no matter how bad the debt is, it is better than taking full responsibility. They all hang out in the same circle, and they all have a little bit of love, so they have to take care of their own people.
Even if they know the responsibilities of their own camp, at this critical moment, everyone can only help each other but not take care of them. This is the essence of staying together for warmth.
…
The carriage moved forward slowly. Just as he was about to put an end to the matter, he pressed the news about the conflict between his younger brother and the nobles of Northern Xinjiang. Unexpectedly, bad news came again.
The bustling city of Dadir finally reached the point where lives were lost. Instinct told him that he couldn't wait any longer on the road.
If the conflict intensifies and a group of local aristocratic children and northern Xinjiang aristocratic children collide in Dadil City, no matter who wins or loses, it will be a tragedy that shocks the whole country.
This level of scapegoat is something that my little body simply cannot bear, and it will only fall on him as the governor.
Without any hesitation, Count Pierce directly mounted his horse and set off in a hurry with a group of cavalry. As for the carriage and honor guard, they can only follow slowly behind.
Count Pierce and his cavalry managed to finish the remaining one hundred miles in less than three hours.
It was just a pain for the horses to dismount, and after running for hundreds of miles, they were all exhausted. If these war horses hadn't been stained with a little bit of Warcraft blood, they would have been destroyed immediately.
The angry boss arrived early, and the nobles who had no time to greet him were in panic.
As one of the people involved, Hudson also complained secretly. Although the blame was passed to the Sith Baron, anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on.
Just because Earl Pierce doesn't like the nobles of Northern Xinjiang doesn't mean he likes them. Although the old matter of refusing to solicit has not been mentioned, it does not mean that the matter is over.
I have never looked for his bad luck, mainly because of "political correctness". The aura of killing the Holy See Cavalry has not completely dissipated, so Earl Pierce, who cherishes his feathers, will naturally not do anything that he can do to others.
If there is a reasonable excuse and he can be taught a lesson, Hudson believes that this round of beating will definitely not be easy.
…
"Why don't you say anything? You guys have done really well these days!
First, they looted and killed each other. Taken together in large and small battles, I'm afraid the civilian casualties will not be less than four digits, right? The compassionate spirit of the nobles has been thrown out of the sky by you.
It's gotten even worse these days, from civilian casualties to nobles. Don't worry, only one noble died and twenty-three were injured.
You can continue to fight. It is best to kill everyone you dislike. In the end, you will be invincible and the entire continent will be yours!
…”
After being scolded, Hudson secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Experience tells him that if something goes wrong, you are not afraid of your boss scolding you, but you are afraid of your boss being kind to you.
Being scolded means there is still room for redemption. If the leader is pleasant, he is preparing to let you take the blame. Resigning and leaving is a trivial matter, and you might have to deal with it for the rest of your life.
"Stupid Sith Baron, as the Lord of Dadir City, so many conflicts have occurred in your home, don't you have anything to say?
If you are old and weak and unable to perform the lord's duties, I can suggest that the kingdom replace you with a young and powerful lord.
For example: Our Baron Hudson performed exceptionally well. Not only can they arrive at the scene of the battle in time and organize manpower to treat the wounded, but they can also prepare the weapons used by others.
…”
Hudson tolerated the provocation in front of him. Anyway, I have already faced off against the Sith Baron, so I don’t care about adding more money.
But that last sentence was really too much. It was correct to organize manpower to "treat the wounded", but because the pastor failed to arrive in time, the person was still dead in the end.
It's okay to be ridiculed, but preparing a "murder weapon" is really an injustice. Although he sold a lot of weapons during the conflicts in the city, it was just a normal transaction.
What people do with their weapons is other people's freedom, and he has no right to interfere.
Hudson admitted that he made money from the war, especially after the sledgehammer incident, and the sledgehammers produced by his family were particularly easy to sell.
Not only was the stock sold out, but even the production orders were pushed back to a month later. But these are all businesses, and there is absolutely no "weapon".
It was impossible to defend himself. Even the stubborn Sith Baron obeyed obediently, and Hudson didn't even dare to stand up.
Just scold me, you won't lose a piece of meat anyway. The accounts are all recorded first, and when the Dalton family encounters bad luck one day, everyone is slowly calculating.
It is never too late for Hudson to take revenge. Anyway, he is younger than Earl Pierce. As long as he pays attention to maintenance, he will definitely have the opportunity to bungee jump on Pierce's grave in the future.
Fortunately, the number of nobles who were put on the list was quite large. Whether they were children of northern Xinjiang nobles or local nobles, they were all taken care of. Nobles with almost any strength enjoyed the treatment of being singled out and criticized.
It can be seen that strength and ability to cause trouble are directly proportional. If you don't have any strength and dare to do it, you must have been taught how to be a human being long ago.
After the reprimand was over, Hudson was surprised to find that Count Pierce did not mention the parties involved in the incident. Obviously, this doesn't mean it's over.
Whether it was intentional homicide or accidentally beating someone to death, it was a human life lawsuit involving a noble.
If you don't bring it up for discussion on the spot, you are preparing to deal with it coldly. But the final result will definitely not be simple, otherwise the Northern Xinjiang nobles who lost their teammates will not let it go.
