The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire

Chapter 48 Government Affairs Department

Tears flowed criss-crossed on Jeffries' face, and he choked with sobs: "Thank you... Thank you very much... I will always be grateful for your kindness..."

Five-year-old Darius only saw his father crying. He was about to cry as soon as his little mouth shrank, but the thin and dark middle-aged man beside him immediately coaxed him in a low voice.

The thin, dark middle-aged man was worried that Darius would give Baron Green a bad impression of being cowardly.

Green glanced sideways at Martial and said, "Martial, be smart and come over and look after your brother."

Green's voice finally brought Martial back to his senses after he was deep in thought.

The father has an adopted son. Sooner or later, he will know what happened today, and he cannot hide his poor performance.

What Martial was worried about was whether his always strict father would use this as an excuse to force him to have another son. He was really scared of being imprisoned and had a shadow in his heart!

However, Martier then thought about it, he is now Lord Green's retinue, and even his father can't control me, hehe!

Green saw the rich expression on Martier's face and didn't know how to evaluate this new retinue.

Green, who was expressionless, wanted to roll his eyes in disgust.

……………………

Seeing that Jeffries' mood began to calm down, Green said: "I will arrange for someone to keep your house, the plates or curtains in the house, and every golden dragon you save until your child grows up." ... Let’s set it as 15 years old.”

"You are considered grown up at this age. I will return these to your son Darius one by one."

Is it too generous? Jeffries' heart was filled with turmoil, and he opened his mouth, unable to speak.

In more than 20 years of business experience, Jeffries has already understood a truth. When listening to a person, the important thing is not what he said, but what he didn't say.

Jeffries' mind suddenly became clear at this moment, and he thought of his business.

Thinking of this, Jeffries felt relieved. Before, he had only heard of Baron Green's generosity, which frightened him.

Jeffries said weakly: "Russell..."

Hearing this, the thin black middle-aged man who had been holding Darius' little hand walked to the carriage door and bowed to Jeffries.

Jeffries mustered up his energy and said to Green: "Lord Baron, Russell is the manager of my most trusted business firm. Russell has always been in charge of most things in my business... Ahem..."

After coughing a few times, Jeffries took a deep breath to endure the physical discomfort and continued: "I can't repay your kindness. I also ask you to protect the business that I dedicated to you."

Green's brown eyes moved and glanced at the chubby boy holding one of Mattil's thighs tightly with a pair of small arms and hands, and sighed softly.

Jeffries also noticed the young son who was very close to Martier, and his eyes flashed with relief.

"Roselle, this is my last request. From now on, you will only have one master, Lord Greene."

After speaking, Jeffries seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slowly closed his eyes with weak breath.

The dark and thin Russell couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master!"

Jeffries, who was leaning on the leg of the seat, opened a crack and shook his head weakly.

Russell first wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and then roughly adjusted his clothes.

Russell moved to stand in front of Green, bowed and saluted: "My master, your loyal servant Russell is at your service at any time."

Green nodded slightly.

Hook Lane, Green's Study.

The affairs of Jeffries have just come to an end, and there are still many things piling up. Green handed four Kleb soldiers to Russell and asked him to be responsible for finishing the follow-up matters of Jeffries.

After arriving in the study, Green first wrote an order to mobilize 20 soldiers of the Survey Corps, and asked the attendant to go to the Red Keep and give it to his "acquaintance" James, so that he could help send out the messenger crow.

After the attendant left the study with the envelope, Green met Foley and Leighton who had arrived from the Queen's Quarter.

Greene did not forget that the day after tomorrow, Queen Cersei's hunting party in the Kingswood would pass through the Queen's Quarter.

Juan Wang Green will stand guard on every shift.

Leiden first spoke: "My master, according to your instructions, the security office has added 200 temporary security guards. About 1,000 people will gather on the side of the road in the Queen's District where Her Royal Highness passes.

They are all relatives of our security officers and temporary security officers. In addition to the security officers who maintain order wearing uniforms, the temporary security officers scattered among the crowd will wear ordinary clothes. The temporary security officers wearing ordinary clothes will work in secret. Maintain order in the crowd. "

Green nodded and moved his gaze to Foley's direction.

Foley spoke in a very rough voice: "Lord Green, according to your order, the area that Her Royal Highness the Queen passed will be blocked by our people and the red robes of Lannister starting tomorrow afternoon. Except for the people arranged by Leiden, that area No one else will show up.”

Green hummed and said to Leiden: "Leiden, don't be stingy with the compensation that should be paid to the original people in that area. The result I want is that for the compensation, they will hope for another time, which is beneficial to us. In the future governance, you know where it is, and you have good control over the amount of compensation."

Leiden nodded and said: "Yes, my master. Excessive generosity will lead to greed. This is not the original intention of the master. I will definitely grasp the scale of compensation."

Green's eyes moved to Foley again: "When Queen Cersei exits the steel gate, you will lift the blockade. You are responsible for gathering the clan soldiers and Lannister red robes and letting them follow the hunting party from behind."

Foley wanted to open his mouth to say something, but finally closed his mouth and just nodded.

Green looked at Foley with a smile in his eyes: "Foley, haven't you gotten used to the position of Sheriff yet?"

Foley chuckled, rubbed his hands, and said: "Lord Green, it was okay at first. There were battles every day. There have been no conflicts for a while. Only Layton has been busy. I don't know what to do. Have we been a little too harsh and have no courage to come out?"

The little housekeeper of Leiden is worthy of being Sulana's eldest son. He has great potential. The more Green uses him, the better he becomes.

Green thought about Kalea who was far away in Whispering City, and wondered how she was doing with Bachelor Al.

As his power developed step by step, Green felt more deeply that his talent pool was too thin.

……………………

Green stopped his thoughts: "While I am away from King's Landing, you will be responsible for teaching the swordsmanship of the security guards in your spare time. The specific training will be arranged by you. If you teach well, when I come back, I will arrange for someone to take your place. You still serve as my captain of the guard."

Boredom and everything else were Foley's excuse. Seeing the gradual stability of the Queen's District, he just wanted to come back and continue to serve as Green's captain of the guard.

Although Foley is a warrior who is keen on fighting, he also has his own caution. Unless under special circumstances, he cannot stay away from his lord for a long time because his future is at stake.
