Chapter 278 The Hardest Mouth in the Body
In the study of the Ironthorn Castle, Ryan was leaning on a chair, tapping his fingers on the table, as if thinking about something.
After the speech in front of the civilians, his role for the day was over.
The effect of this performance was very good. Not only did it win the support of the natives, but the players also started their adventures like chicken blood.
Ryan was not in a hurry to return to Firefly Town. There were still some finishing touches to be done in Ironthorn Town, such as raiding the homes of Rona and others.
Although the laws of the kingdom stipulate that private property cannot be violated at will, they were all deprived of their noble status by Ryan because of rebellion, and they were just civilians under Ryan's rule.
And the civilians in the territory are nominally Ryan's property, so Ryan is certainly qualified to raid their homes.
From this, it can be seen that the so-called kingdom laws are only protecting the interests of the nobles.
As for the civilians, they don't even know the characters, let alone know what the kingdom laws are, and there are no clauses in the kingdom laws to protect civilians. What can they do if they know the content of the laws?
Even if we take a step back, if the commoners find the clauses in the law that can punish the nobles, who can they complain to?
Don't forget that in most territories, the lords are also judges.
You sue a noble against a noble. Isn't this a typical "who is kneeling in the hall, dare to sue me?"
Such kingdom laws are naturally unfair, but Ryan will not change them for the time being. After all, the kingdom laws are also one of the faces of the royal family. Even those great nobles abide by them honestly. Why should he, a small baron, touch this bad luck?
He can only consider the law when he is strong in the future.
Fortunately, Ryan is also a noble, and the kingdom laws bring him only benefits, not oppression.
Just like this house search, it is also an act recognized by the kingdom law.
In Rose Town, he ordered Noz to search the house, but he was in a hurry at that time and left before the results of the house search came out.
Now that the opening animation has been performed, he has plenty of time to wait for the results of the house search in Ironthorn Town.
To be honest, Ryan is really looking forward to it.
"Knock, knock~"
A knock on the door interrupted Ryan's thoughts.
"Come in."
Ryan sat up and said, thinking that Sailer should come to report to him after the house was searched.
Sure enough, as the door opened, it was Knight Commander Sailer who walked in.
After he walked into the study, he saluted Ryan first, and then said:
"Report to Lord Ryan, I have led people to search the mansion of Rona and others, and seized a large amount of money and precious props. This is the specific amount, please take a look."
Sailer said, while taking out a beast skin roll from his arms and handed it to Ryan with both hands.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Ryan took the beast skin roll, opened it and glanced at it.
"Tsk tsk tsk, each of them is quite rich, and the total amount is almost catching up with Baron Bach's family assets." Ryan smacked his lips.
It seems that these people usually embezzle and exploit civilians. Otherwise, how could they have such a rich family wealth just relying on the little reward of the knight title.
Sailor was silent after hearing this. He was also a nobleman. Although he never embezzled, it was not easy for him to express his opinion on such a matter.
"Take out a part of it to reward the Rose Knights. They have been patrolling and suppressing rebellions these days, and they have not been able to rest well. These rewards are compensation for them. The rest will be collected in the warehouse and kept as funds for the development of Ironthorn Town."
Ryan quickly figured out how to use the money. Since the nobles exploited Ironthorn Town, they should use it for the development of Ironthorn Town. It can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people.
"Yes, thank you for the reward, Lord Ryan!"
Sailor did not refuse Ryan's reward. If Ryan only rewarded him, he would have symbolically declined several times, but this time the reward was for all Rose Knights. If he declined again, how could he lead the team if it was spread out.
Ryan nodded slightly, and then asked:
"Did their families not stop us when we searched their homes?"
"No, they may have been intimidated by your majesty. Not only did they not stop us, but they also cooperated with us. However, they kept asking me to intercede with you, hoping that you would spare their lives." Sailer answered truthfully.
"Did they just ask for mercy verbally? Did they not bribe you privately?"
Ryan asked with interest.
Sailer's heart trembled when he heard this, and he quickly explained: "They did have the idea of bribing me, but I rejected them all."
Lian saw this and knew that Sailer was telling the truth, so he chuckled:
"Don't be nervous, I just asked casually, I still trust you very much, otherwise I wouldn't tell you about the visitor from the God Realm."
"You have done a good job these days, busy every day, and have made great contributions. I won't blame you even if you accept some bribes."
"But I also know your character and know that you will definitely not accept those bribes, so I specially prepared a reward for you."
Sailer was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Ryan.
"No need to refuse, I said before, I have always been clear about rewards and punishments, what belongs to you is yours, these rewards are what you deserve, don't be polite to me."
Lian said so, Sailer had no reason to refuse, and could only bow and thank him again.
At the same time, he felt fortunate that he was not interested in money and did not accept bribes from those people. Otherwise, even if Ryan did not say anything now, he would exclude him from power in the future.
In fact, Ryan didn't care about the bribe. What he cared about was whether Sailer was hiding something from him or doing some tricks behind his back.
As Ryan just said, if it's yours, he will naturally give it to you, but if he doesn't give it, you can't take it yourself. This is the most basic issue of loyalty.
Thinking of this, Sailer couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, soaking the lining in the armor.
He has repeatedly reminded himself to treat Ryan as a mature lord, but in the end he still underestimated Ryan. This kind of mentality is not something ordinary lords can have. He is worthy of being chosen by the Lord of Creation!
Sailer's expression kept changing. Seeing his appearance, Ryan knew that the other party understood what he said.
What he said just now was indeed meant for Sailer, but it was not to knock Sailer, but to remind him not to be too arrogant.
After all, there is no secretary in Ironthorn Town for the time being, and the military and political power is in Sailer's hands. Ryan wants Sailer to calm down and do his job well.
So Ryan imitated the way of speaking from the Machiavellian TV series in his previous life and reminded Sailor a few words.
It seems that the effect is okay, so Ryan can rest assured.
It is said that the machinations in previous film and television works are simply a dimensionality reduction attack in this world. It is a pity that Ryan has almost forgotten the plot.
But again, no matter how powerful the strategy is, it will be vulnerable in the face of absolute strength. The fundamental thing is to work hard to improve strength.
Besides, even the nobles of this world don't know how to strategize or anything like that. Everyone is in the same boat.
No, I seem to be a little stronger. I didn't see that with just two sentences, Sailer was so frightened that he wiped his sweat.
Ryan silently praised himself in his heart, and then said to Sailer:
"It will not harm the family. I will not execute the traitor's family members, but they cannot leave my territory. Let them go mining and experience what it is like to serve as civilians."
If multiple noble families are wiped out one after another, it will inevitably cause panic among the remaining noble knights. If word spreads, it will also have a bad impact on Ryan. Uninformed people will think that he is a cruel and cruel lord.
But Ryan doesn't want to exile these people. Who knows if there will be someone shouting "Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty."
In order to nip them in the bud, Ryan decided to keep them under his nose and send them all to mine, which could be regarded as waste reuse.
Once it is discovered that something is wrong with them, a mining accident can be easily solved.
"Yes, I will tell them about your kindness. I believe they will be grateful to you."
Sailer didn't flatter him. He really thought Ryan was kind. If it were a more cruel lord, he wouldn't even be able to dig up his ancestral graves, let alone save his family's life.
"Is it considered kindness to confiscate a house and serve as a labor force? It seems that I still haven't fully adapted to this era."
Ryan complained that after living in modern society for so many years, even though he had tried hard to change, he still seemed out of place in some aspects.
Since you can't adapt to it, try to make the world change.
Ryan gave himself another motivation to change the world.
"By the way, find someone to deliver this letter to Silverleaf Town."
He picked up a letter from the table and said to Sailor.
Sailor looked at the letter and felt it looked very familiar: "Is this the one written by Rona and the others?"
"That's right, that's the letter. I can help them fulfill their last wish. By the way, let's see how Silverleaf Town will respond. If they don't agree to the request of Rona and others, forget it. If they agree, I will be able to do it in the future. I need to find time to have a good chat with them.”
A sneer appeared on Ryan's face. He was worried that there was no suitable reason to annex Silver Leaf Town.
As long as Silver Leaf Town dares to reply, even if it is an ambiguous reply, Ryan will have sufficient reason to send troops to attack Silver Leaf Town.
Sailer also understood what Ryan meant, but he didn't expect that Ryan had such a good appetite. Not long after he occupied the two towns, he began to plan for Silver Leaf Town. No wonder he was asked to block the news right after the execution and strictly prohibited people from going out. It turned out that he was afraid of Silverleaf Town received the news.
"I understand. I will send someone to deliver this letter to Silverleaf Town immediately."
Just as Sailor was about to step forward to take the letter, Ryan took the letter back.
"Forget it, your men are all Rose Knights, and they don't know much about Ironthorn Town. It's easy to expose flaws. I'd better go to Ironthorn Town and let the people from Notz deliver it."
Ryan stood up and said that this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Although the news has been blocked, there is no airtight wall in the world. It is better to send someone to deliver the message as soon as possible.
"Are you leaving now?"
Sailer still wants Ryan to stay for a while. Once Ryan leaves, the responsibility for managing Ironthorn Town will fall entirely on him.
Not only that, he also had to deal with visitors from the divine world who behaved irrationally, which made Sailer feel a lot of pressure.
Ryan also saw Sailer's thoughts. He patted Sailor on the shoulder:
"The pressure doesn't have to be so great. Didn't you do well before? I believe you have this ability. As for those visitors from the God Realm, I just showed you how to treat them. You just need to learn how to do it. "
"But."
"No but, I am very optimistic about you, and I hope you will not betray my trust. You also know that my goals are not limited to these towns. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be promoted to a higher title, let alone baron in the future. , even the earl is not impossible."
Ryan skillfully painted Sailer's pie. Poor Sailer had never experienced this before, and his blood was immediately boiled by Ryan's words.
"Thank you for your trust, I will not let you down!"
Sailor assured, patting his chest.
"Okay! Keep working hard. In a few days, the Bobo tribe in Yinghuo Town will be able to deliver letters skillfully. Then we can contact you in time. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time. Ahem, ask White Clerk."
Ryan gave Sailer another reassurance. Now Sailer was completely relieved and sent Ryan out of the castle in a hurry.
"Eve, don't stand there in a daze, we should go."
Ryan shouted to Eve who was doing nothing outside the castle.
"You're leaving now? Don't you need to stay to stabilize the situation?"
Eve asked in surprise, this was a rebellion, why did Ryan look so calm, as if he didn't care at all.
"They're just a bunch of clowns. They haven't stirred up any waves. There's no need to stabilize the situation."
Ryan said with disdain, and then mounted the Toucan.
"Lord Ryan is mighty and domineering! Can we discuss the matter about the Warcraft user again?"
Eve first complimented Ryan, and then asked cautiously.
"Forget about talking, if I ask one more question, the inspection time will be doubled."
After Ryan finished speaking, he directed the big-billed bird to fly into the sky.
"If you don't ask, don't ask. What's the big deal? Hey, you should wait for me!"
Eve hurriedly rode on the proud pheasant and chased after him.
Ryan has left Ironthorn, and the players' adventure has just begun.
After Hao Ren left the execution ground, he squatted on the ground to rest for a long time. Although he was a member of the network security department, he was often exposed to bloody and violent online videos.
But the impact of the video was far less shocking than seeing it in person, so even if he repeatedly reassured himself that it was just a game, Hao Ren would still feel uncomfortable.
However, his performance was pretty good, and the other two's performance was even worse. They were lying on the ground and retching.
The key is that their mouths are not idle and they are still taunting each other.
"Ugh~ Don't you like extreme sports? Don't you want to conquer the sky? You can't even accept this, uh~ this little scene?"
Patrick wiped his mouth and said.
"I'm vomiting~ I just have a discomfort in my throat. Maybe I'm not used to it. But you are so scared that you can't even stand still. You still have the nerve to tell me that you're vomiting too~ You deserve it!"
Brother Crow retorted not to be outdone.
Hao Ren looked at the two of them with black lines on his head: "Can you two stand up and talk first? You have the toughest words in your body, right?"
"You didn't even stand up!"
"Haha, why do you think I asked you to stand up first? It's not because I have been squatting for too long and my legs are numb. You should stand up quickly and help me!"
Hao Ren roared with a sad face.
