Chapter 83 Broken Hand
Ander looked at the village chief Tasi in surprise, and the village chief Tasi looked at Sir Ander with even more surprised eyes.
For a moment, the two of them stared at each other and didn't say anything, and they fell silent on the platform.
It was still Amilia who broke the silence: "The village chief of Tass, Sir Ander, was very dissatisfied with the ugly behavior of these people fighting for each other for prey."
"Ah, Lord Ender, these bastards, I'll go and smoke them now."
"Is there no relevant laws in the village?" asked Ander.
Ender grew up in the town. Although the world's laws are a bit backward, there are not none. There are also town guards in the town to maintain order. Ender always feels that although the world is backward, there is not no legal order - thieves will be arrested, and adventurers will be taken away by the town guards if they fight in hotels.
"The law is only found in big cities, right?" Village chief Tashi was also surprised and asked back.
In a small village, do you tell me the law? Even the entire baron leader is decided by the Baron, so what is the law?
Amilia thought to herself that this young lord who looks like a slut turned out to be a "country bumpkin".
However, this is Ye Demon's disciple. She will serve her in the next three years. You should not watch him make a fool of himself.
So Emilia explained: "Mr. Ender, the laws of the Kingdom of Gilt are limited to the royal capital Karanyuan and other places that the royal family can control, and do not apply to the lords' own territory."
After hearing this, Ander thought about it carefully and seemed to be right.
The social level that Ender contacted was not very high, but based on the lord system on earth - wind can enter, rain can enter, and kings cannot enter.
The development of social systems is inevitable. Although Ende studied philosophy, an important study of philosophy is the change of social relations. Marx and his elders directly linked productivity and production relations.
In an era of underdeveloped transportation and communications, this de facto village-level autonomy is inevitable.
Ander had a headache. These villagers were below, and more and more quarreling for prey. Did he do bad things even if he had good intentions?
"Sir Ander, this is your territory, and everything is up to you. If you are not satisfied with them, you can expel them directly and give some punishment. I think it is more appropriate to get a few whips."
Amilia prompted.
Ander was slightly stunned, and then he realized that he was a lord.
"I don't need to whip it, but these people make me unhappy. The village chief of Tashi drove out all the villagers who quarreled about their prey. I don't want to see them again." Ander waved his hand and said pretending to be majestic.
He felt that he had handled it well, but the village chief of Tasi changed his face. He hesitated for a moment and finally did not dare to speak. He turned around and walked downwards.
"Sir Ander, you are so kind." Looking at Ander's face and speaking, Amilia said angrily.
In Emiliya's opinion, although the young lord had a sunny and gentle smile, he was a little too weak. In the Locove tribe, such people have always been easily regarded as soft-boys.
I don’t know where the Night Demon Lord likes him. A high-level assassin who is cruel and ruthless and kills all the money, actually accepted such a person as his disciple.
And he is not an ordinary disciple. Judging from the fact that Night Demon threw himself over to help him build his territory, if this Sir Ander was not his illegitimate son, it would probably be the disciple of the inheritance that would make people worry so much - but Sir Ander's sword skills are really horrible.
"Mr. Ender, please don't be angry with these idiots."
When Tass stepped down from the platform, Emiliya continued: "Sir Ander, you are too kind, so that the untouchables will not respect you-the nobles should use swords and torture tools to prove their majesty, rather than using a few words that are not painful or itchy."
When she was a eldest lady, if the maid did not follow the rules, she would be hung up and beaten - this is the case with Locoway's family tradition, and naturally, the same is true for Emilya's management of servants.
Ender shook his head and said nothing.
"Look at it, someone will think you are easy to talk to later. Come up and hold your thighs and beg you." Amilia made a prophecy.
"Teacher Ander, Mr. Ander, Sister Amilya, Mr. Mandel and Mr. Marvin are here, and they are still bringing many people."
There was a burst of footsteps on the stairs, and Arnold jumped up, and before the others could get up, they started shouting loudly.
Mandel was the merchant who moved the people to Ender, while Marvin went to Locovey to recruit the merchants who were the servants of the castle according to Emilya.
"Oh, let them come up." Ender rubbed Arnold's little head and asked him to go down to inform. Now Ender has few people, and even ten-year-old Arnold has to take on the task of running errands.
"Mr. Ender, Ms. Amilia, these are representatives of the leaders and servants, who want to meet the adults first."
Mandel and Marvin took six people to the platform.
Among the six people, four were wearing ordinary villagers' clothes and looked a little in a hurry; the other two men had a lively eyes, and although their faces were a little malnourished, their standing posture was still straight and upright.
Before Ander could speak, Amilia said first: "I am Amilia. Are you servants from the Castle of Locoway? How many of you have? What do you do?"
Although it was a bit rude to speak in front of the lord, Amilia (Belier) was excited and didn't care about so much for a while.
Seeing Amilia coming out from Ander's back, the two tall men suddenly opened their eyes as if they had seen something incredible.
However, when they heard Amilia's words, their expression returned to normal and said in a formal tone: "Ms. Amilia, we have twenty-seven people, if we include family members, there are a total of sixty-one. We handle castle affairs, manage stables, maintain weapons, manage warehouses, and also include holding banquets, cocktails and other chores."
Amilia nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Ender for advice: "Sir Ander, I think we need these people to support the skeleton of the territory. Without anyone to cooperate, many things will be difficult to unfold."
"Look, can you take all these people away?" Amilia asked expectantly.
"Haha, yes, since you want to take these people in, you have to worry about the construction of the territory."
"Of course, I will definitely build your territory beautifully." A confident smile appeared on Emilya's face.
Since even Tang En appears here, the butler Tang En must be alive. If he is here, it will be no problem to build a small lord.
Since they were sure to hire them, Don and the other man naturally turned behind Ender and Emiliya, standing aside like servants.
This is their old profession, and their standing postures are impeccable.
"What about you guys?" Seeing that the girl Amilia turned red with excitement, Ander felt that she would ask herself.
"Sir, we are villagers of Mir Village. Because we committed the serious crime of insulting the lord, so--" The oldest man spoke, and as he stuttered, his voice gradually became smaller and tears flowed out.
At this age, being suddenly expelled from his own village was a bolt from the blue for these leaders, but even they themselves were indisputable for their crimes.
He suddenly knelt on the ground, without saying a word, but just kowtowed to Ande. The other three civil representatives also knelt down and kept kowtowing.
These people were villagers of Mir Village. Because they were forced by soldiers led by Locove, they committed the crime of insulting the Baron of Leicester, so they were left Leicester territory within a specified period of time and were about to become refugees.
If Ender could not be taken in, no one in the four northern leaders would take them in - because the lords of other territories were retainers of the Leicester family, only Ender had never made a pledge of allegiance.
Seeing that they could not speak, the merchant Mandel explained the whole story of the guilt of these leaders committing the insults of the lords to Ender.
"Get up." Ander sighed. This world is really unfriendly to the weak.
"I can take you in as my constituents, but you must abide by the laws I have made."
"Sir, you can do whatever you ask us to do--" the old man kneeling on the ground quickly agreed.
Behind Emilia, two male servants who had just received employment had already shown contempt when they listened to Mandel's introduction to the origins of these leaders.
These people are the castle servants of the Locoway family. If the Locoway family was not destroyed, they would have the same status as the squire class, and the ones they looked down upon the most was the betrayer who insulted the lord.
The servants in the castle are usually the lord's confidant - if it is a big city like the capital Karanyuan, it would be fine if the servants were hired by business.
However, servants of territorial nobles like them often serve their masters for seven or eight generations, and the family is almost integrated with the master's family. In the legend, the master still remains in distant and follows the master's servants, and they are usually born in this way.
While these people were trusted by the lords and nobles, they were not trusted by other nobles. Especially the Leicester family that defeated the Locoway family. No matter how strong the White Fox Surrey Lester was, he would not dare to reuse these people.
These servants who were expelled from the castle did not live well during this period. They were knocked out of the gentry class and now they could only hug each other into a group to keep warm.
So when they heard that someone wanted to recruit them and even eating became a problem, they sent a few representatives to see the scenery and decide whether to accept the recruitment.
Now that I find that the eldest lady is here, what else can I say?
Even if you don’t pay, as long as you have some food to eat, you have to come over quickly!
At the same time, they also had some contempt for Sir Ander - they would actually take in such betrayal lords, probably a soft nobility.
————————————
The village chief of Tasi ran downstairs and rushed into the burning wasteland in anger. He kicked a villager who was pulling the badger's legs to the ground, and then punched the villager who was holding the badger and knocked him to the ground.
Not to mention the village chiefs of this world, there is also a saying on earth that the village cadres who have been beaten out. The village chief Tashi himself was originally a second-level warrior, but now in anger, he punched and kicked the two villagers directly to the ashes.
Looking at the angry village chief of Tasi, the two villagers did not dare to resist and could only look at him with innocent eyes, wondering why he was so angry.
"You bastards, now you go back to the village. There is no share of you to pick up the scattered goods this time." The village chief Tashi quickly called all the villagers who were competing for prey and announced loudly.
"Mr. Village Chief, you can't do this. This is the benefit that Mr. Ande gave us-"
Someone plucked up the courage to retort that this kind of opportunity to pick up meat for free is hard to come by, and it would be a pity to miss it like this.
"You also know that Master Ande gave you the benefits? Your ugly appearance made Master Ande see it! Master Ande now says--I don't want to see you again!"
The villagers were so scared that their faces turned pale, most of them were shaking their legs, and some even sat on the ground.
The villagers were not cowardly, but Ender's name was synonymous with the great devil in Wall's village. Although he never used force against any weak people, and had never beat or killed anyone in Wall's village, the corpses of two hundred thieves were enough to keep everyone in Wall's village awe of him.
If others say 'I don't want to see you again', they may not care much; but Ender says 'I don't want to see you again', which is likely to mean sending him to the underworld.
When Tashi came to the platform with his trembling villagers, Emilya was discussing the secrets of Andeppo and the aristocratic ruling territory:
"You must let the rulers be afraid of you before you can talk about rule. Being polite to the leaders is seeking death. You must severely punish those villagers to erroneously in order to establish your majesty."
If he is a mature housekeeper, he will only give a reminder to the lord when there is no one. However, Emilia herself is a young lady, so she could not think of this. However, on the platform, except for two male servants and four representatives of the lords who have just been accepted, they will not express their opinions.
As for the two merchants, they didn't say a word. In their opinion, judging from the tone of speaking, this Ms. Amilia might be Sir Ander's fiancée, and it wasn't their turn to be troublesome.
"Look, are they here?" Amilia saw Tashi and her people walked up to the platform and snorted disdainfully.
After the village chief Tashi took a group of villagers to the platform, he knelt down and knocked his head on the ground with a "bumping" sound.
While kowtowing, he begged: "Master Ander, please be kind and let them live a life--they each interrupted one of their hands, and promised that they would never appear in front of you in the future."
Amilia turned her head suddenly and found that the left arms of these villagers were twisting abnormally.
These people were not the leaders of Ende, and it is logical that Ende has no right to deal with them.
It would be harmless to whip a few times. No one would have a quarrel with another noble lord for this matter. However, interrupting the hand will affect the ability to work. Even the lord has no right to interrupt the leaders of other nobles.
How fearful are these people to break a hand voluntarily because of Ende's words?
"You don't actually have to do this." Ander was a little helpless.
"No, no, no, just breaking one hand is already a bargain." Tashi's head shook like a rattle.
This old man has always killed people, and this time he rarely shows kindness. These bastards dare to make Uncle Ande upset. Isn’t this seeking death? Thank God if you can live.
Whether it was Amilia, or the two male servants behind her, the four representatives of the people standing aside, and even two businessmen, Mandel and Marvin, everyone was silent for a moment.
A total of ten people broke his arm just because of the boy’s dissatisfaction. What a fierce flame?
