Lord of the North

"And now, among you people, is there any collusion with them?" After the soldiers set off, Jason looked at the remaining officials, large and small, and asked blankly.

He had already received a report from the mayor of Diya that some officials were obedient to his orders, and even embezzled and withheld the allocated money! The habits these people have acquired during Sir Och's reign do not appear to be changing!

But Jason was afraid of causing great chaos, so he kept holding back. What he didn't expect was that his momentary kindness and forbearance almost brought him a fatal disaster!

Usually, I collude with rats to embezzle public funds and oppress civilians. This time I collude with foreign troops to ambush me. What about next time? Will he directly lead his troops to his own castle to start a rebellion!

Jason is going to clean up all these moths today, and at worst let them know whose iron tooth town this is! And they just work for themselves!

"I hope you can stand up for yourself." Jason said calmly, completely unable to see the look of the anger just now, but everyone could feel his suppressed anger, and when this anger erupted, it was enough to burn them to ashes!

Some officials are sweating more and more, which is really rare in the north where the weather is cool and even slightly cold at night! Mayor Dia stood in front of the officials, his eyes downcast, and he looked indifferent.

This made the hearts of those who hoped that the mayor of Diya could come forward to intercede suddenly feel cold!

Mr. Dia was sneering in his heart, joking, when will nobles care about the voices of civilians? He usually seems to have a good relationship with the lord, but once he gets involved in this matter, even if his son is the hero of the territory, he can't protect himself!

And Lord Jason's policy is already generous enough, but who can be blamed for these ruthless guys who can't control their greed?

"If some of you from those rats come out, I swear, you'll know when..." Jason said here, pausing.

"Death is an extravagant hope!" Jason's calm voice sounded like thunder to some people's ears. Their backs were drenched in cold sweat instantly, but still no one stood up. They were still lucky!

I hope that I will not be confessed, and I hope that Jason can turn a blind eye to the town government. Unfortunately, they all underestimated Jason's determination to rectify the town government this time!

"Very good!" Jason nodded. Sure enough, they are all guys who are not afraid of death!

"Mayor Dia, read the list of government officials who have embezzled, embezzled, and disrupted law enforcement during this period!" He stared at Mayor Dia in front of him, and said every word!

"Yes, my lord!" Mayor Diya smiled wryly, and he was still involved, so that no matter what he did in the future, he would be labeled as Jason, and he could only follow Jason all the way to the dark!

Under the terrified eyes of everyone, he took out a roll of parchment from his arms, on which were written the names of no less than ten people, some of them were already sweating from the tip of their noses, and one even sat on the ground with a pale face. !

As soon as Jason waved his hand, two soldiers took him out and knelt down in front of everyone!

"Dori, Zami, Hardy..." Every time a name was read from the mouth of the mayor of Dia, one person sat down on the ground, and the faces of the rest became even paler!

In the end, a total of thirteen people were dragged out, accounting for one-third of the people present!

"Do you have anything else to say?" Jason looked at the crowd kneeling in front of him blankly, and the whip in his hand twitched lightly!

"My... my lord, spare... my life, my life!" Everyone's lips trembled, they were so frightened that they couldn't speak properly, and sweat dripped down their noses, but no one dared to reach out to wipe it off!

"It seems that you have nothing to say!" Jason nodded, ignored their begging for mercy, turned around and sat down on the chair, his eyes were deep, and he gently waved the horsewhip in his hand. There was no expression on his handsome and immature face. expression,

No one knows what he's thinking,

The entire barracks was extremely silent, only the sound of everyone's breathing, and the sobbing of a few people!

Alexis has been taken back to the castle by the little fox girl Lorna. Lorna has begun to accept this place and regards the castle as her den. She is very beautifully dressed, but in Jason's eyes, she looks a little girly!

He lacks the masculinity of a man, so he has always wanted to get a set of full-body plate armor and weapons to put inside as decorations!

After a long time, almost an hour, when the kneeling people felt that their legs were unconscious, the soldiers finally escorted the mice back from the town!

These mice were tied up and some were swearing and struggling, but unfortunately they became honest after being hit on the face with the handle of a knife by the soldier, but their mouths were still unyielding!

"Kneel down!" After bringing this group of people to the side of the kneeling officials, they were sternly pushed to the ground!

"My lord, all the 'rats' known in the town have been caught. There are sixty-seven of them in total, and there should be some that are not recorded! We can do nothing!" Gary was a little ashamed and failed to complete Jason's order.

"It's okay, these rats won't dare to come out after tonight!" Jason waved his hand, the security brigade has not been established for a long time, and it is obviously unrealistic to try to catch all the rats in the town!

Jason looked at the people in front of him indifferently, and was about to speak, but was interrupted!

"My lord! You can't treat us foreigners like this, otherwise we will report this situation to the business alliance!" One of the young businessmen said loudly, he was confident, in his eyes, every lord would worry about being banned by the business alliance , but what he didn't know was that those were just little nobles!

Behind the business alliance is the Holy See! So as long as the people in the business alliance are not too outrageous, they will pretend not to see it! But if these people made a big mistake and were executed, even the Holy See would have nothing to say! For example, colluding with the army to ambush a kingdom lord this time!

This will even cause the business alliance to suffer a heavy blow in the Lopez Kingdom!

"Are you a member of the business alliance?" Jason had a smile on his face, he was taken advantage of, and he could blackmail him severely!

If the business alliance does not want to suffer a strong blow to the influence of the Lopez Kingdom, it must pay a huge amount of hush money! And this stupid chamber of commerce also needs to do some measures to remedy its impression in Jason's heart!

"That's right!" The young man showed a haughty expression, so what if he is the lord of the kingdom, isn't he going to give in in front of the business alliance? But he completely ignored the anxious eyes of a middle-aged man beside him!

This time, the young man came out to gain knowledge, but obviously he was not deeply involved in the world. He didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he had been fed by a few iron-toothed mice, and he actually agreed to join the underground organization "Hands Club" of these mice!

Sure enough, something happened within a few days of staying here!

This made the caravan steward who came with him very anxious! He originally wanted to visit Jason first after arriving here, but as soon as he arrived in Tieya Town, his young master went out and messed up, and he was arrested before he could persuade his young master to come back!

"I'm the third son of the president of the Liuli Chamber of Commerce. This time I'm here to buy bows, arrows and furs from your territory! Why don't you untie me?" The bows, arrows and furs of the Northland have always been very popular among the nobles in the mainland, so many merchants will Come buy!

The president of the Liuli Chamber of Commerce is an aristocrat who donated a lot of money and was conferred an honorary baron by King Lopez, the kind with a name but no territory!

But this young man seems to be spoiled, he doesn't even know the most basic respect for nobles, even if your family is rich, please don't challenge the dignity of a great nobleman!

And he obviously didn't know the second son of the royal family who caused troubles in the city some time ago!

"That's great!" Jason smiled happily: "It's really great!"

With a backhand whip, he slapped the third son of the president of the Liuli Chamber of Commerce fiercely in the face!
