Vol 2 Chapter 9: Refereeing and planning (Part 1)

The two groups were escorted by the knights and sent to the town hall—the most spacious cottage in the middle of the town, and the young count also walked in and sat in the position of the village elder.
Although they were disarmed and captured, these nobles still couldn't see the slightest subdued appearance, and they were very stubbornly holding their necks. No matter how many knights beside them kicked them, they were proud to refuse to say a word, A pair of eyes stared indignantly at Lu Wen sitting on it.
Loren standing behind the earl was a little thoughtful-when he was still at Wimpar College, he had heard from a small wizard about how keen and brave the nobles of Shenlinbao are. thing.
Not only nobles, even the villagers in the village like to "solve the problem with their fists". From a sweet water well to the right to use the mill, it often triggers the fighting between two families and even several villages. Whoever wins Listen to whom.
Less than a last resort, they will never go to the lord to rule, as if such a move is very shameful; and the counts of the past have never actively intervened in these private fights, and even used this to weaken those thorns. Noble.
But when it comes to speaking, it seems that Ain Rand is also from Shenlinbao ...
"Tell me, what the is going on?" Lu Wen, who was sitting in a chair, put on a serious face and pointed to the young man who stood up against him: "It starts with you!"
"Observe, Lord Earl." The still unconvinced young man propped up his neck: "On behalf of the Butch family, I accuse the Rand family of jerks. They are not a noble at all, but a group of greedy wild dogs and rogues!
"This secretly took their people to our hunting ground while our family's hunters were away. They hunted the pheasants and deer that hadn't grown up. They also scavenged all the wild fruits and mushrooms. The whole hunting ground It ’s like a garbage dump! "
The young people said more and more excited: "Please ask Lord Earl to do justice for us, we don't want them to compensate anymore, as long as we can drive them out of Shenlinbao!"
"I will judge fairly, but not just on your side." Lu Wen nodded solemnly: "Who is the patriarch of the Rand family?"
"I, I am."
A fat man lying on the ground trembled tremblingly, sweating, and the trembling air did not dare to breathe, squinting his eyes with a flattering smile, and kept bowing towards the count.
"The people of the Butch family accused you of poaching and ruined their hunting grounds." Lu Wen was the least fond of such people and frowned. "Do you have anything to say?"
"We can't help it anymore, Lord Earl!" The fat man burst into tears with a snot. "Poof" he knelt down with a cry: "This year's harvest is really pitiful, not to mention that it's barely enough to pay taxes, If you do n’t want to change it, everyone in the farm must starve to death! "
Seeing that he cried so badly, the Earl who didn't like this fat man also felt a little bit soft-hearted. He is also clear about how barren the deep forest is, this fat man should not have lied.
"The farmer in the countryside doesn't know how to hunt. They will do nothing but pick a little wild fruit. We are willing to compensate the Butch family and only ask you not to drive us from here!"
The patriarch of the Rand family with tears in tears, the humble expression and performance is indeed very impressive, even Lu Wen looked at his eyes a lot-if all the nobles of Shenlinbao are so gentle, then no matter how good But no.
"Don't be fooled by his appearance, Lord Earl!" Butch, who was standing aside, immediately stood up angrily: "This guy is lying, what harvest is not enough? All are excuses!"
"Do n’t look at him being miserable here. He is usually a vampire who eats people and does not spit bones-the farmers in his land are poor, because he has occupied all the land, and those people have to plant the land to have a living. ! "
The head of the Rand family who was kneeling on the ground didn't explain anything. He was still crying there. Just looking at it made people feel soft-hearted, and it was hard to blame.
But the young man named Butch did not seem to be lying, but he could not rule out this possibility. Lu Wen, hesitantly silent, glanced back and forth between the two in silence.
"Well, the Rand family must compensate the Butch family for the loss, strictly control the people on your land, and no poaching is allowed." Lu Wen made the final verdict: "But at the same time, both parties are not allowed to happen any more. Fight, and if there is any violator, I will expel him from Shenlinbao! "
This result was made after a long time of thinking. Although this time it was the Rand family who was at fault, they were much more docile than the Butch family, and they were much more manageable.
Want to govern this count, Lu Wen certainly hopes that the nobles he governs are as gentle as this, instead of mobsters who are keen on resistance and fighting, it is reasonable to be biased.
The ruling was also approved by the vast majority of people. The compensated Butch family could barely endure it, and the Patriarch of the Rand family who knelt on the ground and cried in tears was also very thankful.
"I disagree!"
A young man named Butch shouted suddenly, holding his head and staring at Lu Wen: "We do not accept this verdict, you must drive this group of worms out of Shenlinbao, or you will regret it! "
Soon several young people of the Butch family also gathered behind him, raising his right arm to protest loudly. The two families in the parliament began a confrontation again, and the atmosphere became more and more tense, as if they would be ignited at any time.
"The ruling has been made, and it will be executed immediately!" Lu Wen's face has turned black: "I have warned you, and there will be any fighting action, no matter who will be driven out of Shenlinbao!"
This time it was replaced by someone from the Rand family, holding his shoulders and looking provocatively at the young Butch family, as if they were waiting for the other to swing their fists, and then they could justly get out.
"It's not fair!" The young man named Butch shouted loudly: "You have just arrived in Shenlinbao. It's not clear how these people are before making a decision-they are not the first time to do this kind of thing Well, even if you punished them this year, they will still do the same thing next year! "
"We do not require you to make a judgment immediately, at least wait for a while, and wait until you recognize the faces of these people!"
As soon as the two knights were about to take this young man away, they were stopped by the young earl: "Are you asking me to take back the sentence?"
"Yes!"
"Very good, I respect your courage, but this is premised." Lu Wen picked his mouth. "There is indeed a precedent for the Duke of Lothal. You can find three to four people ~ www.mtlnovel. com ~ challenge me-but as long as someone loses, you must obey your fate! "
"Challenge you?" The young man took a step back and swallowed. He was a little hesitant. If the count was hurt, this sin would definitely not be easily spared.
"It's not just me." Lu Wen saw his concern at once: "Any follower I brought can be chosen at random, a four-to-five round of duels and a victory, and I promise your terms."
"Choose a person at random?" The young people looked around. The knights who followed Lu Wen were all armed, and they were not easy to deal with at a glance.
Although he is very confident in himself, he will never lose to these knights. But if it was a victory ... the young man hesitated, his eyes swept back and forth, and finally locked behind the count.
"Lorren Turin ?!" Seeing the man he pointed to, Lu Wen almost smiled: "Are you sure ?!"
"Yes, we are going to challenge this gentleman!" The young man who said so was a little embarrassed. The guy named Loren looked like a scholar and could not fight at all.
Otherwise, it's better to start with a light touch, and it will be troublesome to hurt others.
"Hahahaha ... Our wizard advisor was actually underestimated." The count's face was completely incapable of smiling. Some helpless dark-haired wizards shrugged their shoulders, took off the wizard's cloak, and gave the wand to a knight behind them for safekeeping.
"How are you going to fight?" The young man asked politely when he looked at this "wizard" who was not much bigger than himself.
"How to fight?" Loren with his hands behind them glanced at them and nodded.
"Simply go together, I'm in a hurry."
