Just as he was complaining madly in his mind, a gorgeous woman in scantily clad clothes walked towards him. Dick pretended to glance at it casually. At first, he thought the face looked familiar, but he soon realized that most Korean girl groups seemed to be of this type, with basically the same facial shape and slight differences in the details. This so-called "girl group face" is indeed stunning at first sight, coupled with a charming figure and a girl group dance with strong sexual suggestion, which always makes people lose control, but its appeal to Dick is limited. Your breasts are not as good as Belfa's, and your legs are even worse than Rita and Tia's. What's more, I know you are here to seduce me. Before coming, I spent two hours looking for Rita to clear out the stock. Your mental state at this moment is, if not as holy as a Buddha, at least at the level of a Bodhisattva. But you, a pretty woman, how dare you flirt in front of me! On the other side, Park Ae-jeong was also observing the target that her master had instructed her to "take down". To be honest, when Park Ae-jeong first met Dick, she was indeed stunned by this elegant, handsome and smart young man. This child is so pretty! ? He looks to be only twelve or thirteen years old, a super handsome boy! Is this really the kind of beauty that humans can possess? Oh! His ears, it turns out he is the legendary elf, no wonder he is so beautiful, and this beauty is purely natural.
Woohoo... I'm so unlucky, it would have been great if I had been summoned by him! Compared to sleeping with an old man who doesn't take a bath, I would rather sleep in the same bed with such a fragrant and beautiful young brother! Before she could get close to Dick, Park Ae-jeong, who was an Earthling with basically zero magic resistance, fell in love at first sight with Dick, who was only one-quarter succubus. Or to be more precise, she was "charmed"! As for the seduction plan, she had long forgotten about it. Now she just wanted to be close to the beautiful boy. Dick, who had noticed Park Ae-jung a long time ago, was cautious at first, carefully guarding against possible seduction attacks from Park Ae-jung. But he soon discovered that something was not right with this woman. Why doesn't this person look like he's here to seduce people? Instead, he looks like he's here to act like a hooligan! Seeing this woman approaching him with a perverted smile on her face, Dick, who had never seen this kind of "seduction", was a little panicked. Fortunately, he had a plan B prepared for an emergency escape. Dick winked at Rita, who was traveling with him, and immediately started coughing. Rita hurried forward and stood perfectly between Park Ae-jeong and Dick. She took out a medicine bottle from her arms and handed it to Dick, patting his back gently to help him take the medicine. When everyone present saw this, the originally cheerful atmosphere came to an abrupt end, and they all looked at each other for a moment. However, Dick coughed twice and smiled shyly. "I hope it worked for you all. I grew up in the warm imperial capital. I just arrived in the north and didn't expect it to be so cold here. I'm a little unaccustomed to it. I just caught a cold. It's nothing serious. Ahem, it's nothing serious..." Seeing that the Governor was ill, the nobles present had to at least show concern on the surface, no matter what they thought in their hearts. Old Jonah even had an idea, saying that his maid Park Ae-jeong knew Earth medicine and was very good at taking care of patients, so she could be given to the Governor to use at his disposal. What was the old guy planning? Everyone present was stunned by the abacus beads. After saying goodbye to the nobles one by one, Dick insisted on returning to the castle. As soon as he got in the carriage, his previous sickly appearance immediately disappeared without a trace. Dick was of mixed descent and indeed looked very thin, but his physique was not bad. The elves are naturally resistant to both magic and poison, succubi are not afraid of mind control magic, and the Best family is known as the "high-blood race" among humans, an elite group with certain special qualities in their bloodline. Dick's physique is the best of all the other schools. He has never been sick in his life. So healthy!
But in order to survive, Dick has long been accustomed to pretending to be weak. Not long after the carriage left Saxon Manor, the window suddenly opened, and Hongye flipped over and got in, landing in front of Dick. "My Lord, there is an assassin ahead." "how many people?" "Thirteen, not professionals, but they have military crossbows, arranged by David. Xia and Ayane are already in place. Should we strike first?" "Kill them and leave their bodies in the middle of the road, making sure the Saxons can see them." "Hi!" Hongye nodded and jumped out of the car again. Rita, who was sitting opposite Dick, seemed to be still at ease, but in fact she had entered combat state and was ready to attack at any time. However, the enemy to be dealt with this time was too weak. When the carriage arrived at the ambush site, there were already corpses lying all over the ground. The three female ninjas stood among the corpses. Ayane even used a slightly provocative expression, and Asaka made a six gesture, implying that she had killed more. Dick got off the carriage and looked at the bodies lying all over the place. Rita and Befa, who was pretending to be a coachman, also got off with him. Dick picked up a military crossbow on the ground. The arrow had not been shot yet. It was loaded with an armor-piercing bullet, and the cross-shaped arrowhead had a barb. Dick picked up the crossbow and shot an arrow at his carriage. The powerful arrow immediately pierced two holes in the carriage. After shooting, Dick clapped his hands and signaled others to pick up the crossbows on the ground and help him "decorate" the carriage. It would be useful tomorrow! 009. Killing someone means destroying their heart The next morning, the news that the new governor went to Saxon's house for a banquet and was ambushed on the way back and nearly died spread like wildfire throughout the entire Lagug Castle. Then, it spread at an unimaginable speed and became the main topic of conversation among the people in the entire territory after dinner. Many people said that the assassins who carried out this assassination were not simple. They used a military-standard crossbow. The governor's carriage, which was riddled with holes, was now parked in the yard for repair. Their governor barely escaped the disaster thanks to magic tools and the protection of the masters hidden around him. The bodies of more than a dozen assassins were lying on the dirt road between the castle and Saxon's house. Some senior mercenaries went to see the wounds. They were all fatal. They were real assassination masters with extraordinary skills. However, this incident seemed to have frightened the governor himself, and he stayed indoors since returning to the castle. There was a drunk guy in the tavern, teasing their cute little governor. He was probably so scared that he didn't dare to sleep alone. He hid in the arms of the big maid and sobbed. Then, a peanut flew from nowhere and hit him on the back of the head, and his face hit the table with a bang. In fact, after Dick returned to the castle last night, he did sleep with the maid, but it was not him who was crying. Of course! This kind of topic is not convenient to expand in detail. Anyway, the next morning, Dick slept until noon and then ate breakfast lazily in the bedroom, concentrating on reading the teacher's research notes. All visitors were rejected, and the private army was urgently mobilized. The castle guards were doubled, and the remaining people were sent out to find the militia and demanded that their weapons be confiscated and investigated. To put it bluntly, it means disarming their vigilante group. If this had happened under normal circumstances, the vigilante group would definitely not surrender and would have reported the matter to the governor. But the problem now is that the governor was assassinated last night. The killer used a military crossbow. Although the number was filed off, the style was the same as that used by the militia. According to the imperial military law, feudal nobles had to form private armies equal to their own titles, so that when the emperor needed to fight a war, they could call on the troops to defend the country. However, not all nobles were rich enough to support so many regular troops, so some military power was delegated to local governments, allowing the gentry to form self-defense police groups. Therefore, the vigilante group is also an officially recognized regular military force, but the nobles will not allocate money to pay them salaries, and will also impose strict restrictions on their number and weapons and equipment. Many nobles felt that this was a good policy. They didn't have to spend a penny of their own money and got a group of cannon fodder that could be called upon and dismissed at any time. They could also spend the money wisely and equip their own real soldiers. But on the first day in Laguge, after learning about the situation of the local vigilante group, Dick had secretly made up his mind to eliminate this unstable factor.
At least the vigilante group funded by the Saxon family must be disbanded, and he will form a "police force" that is truly capable of maintaining public order. So following the assassination, Dick directly ordered the disarmament of the Saxon Vigilantes. He knew that this mob of thugs would not surrender, so he sent 200 of his private soldiers to confiscate their weapons. These regular troops had just received their salaries and rewards from the governor, and their loyalty was at its peak. The trainee knight leading the team was Roger, the former centurion of the cavalry, who had the longest seniority and the fewest bad records in the cavalry. So before the tournament, Dick promoted a temporary captain from each of the cavalry, infantry and archers, and gave them the title of trainee knight first. In order to repay the kindness, Roger and his group came to the door with anger. As soon as they arrived at the so-called base of the vigilante group, the Rogers were stunned. It was simply a den of thieves! It was dirty and messy, with garbage piled up everywhere. Some militiamen who had drunk themselves unconscious in broad daylight were lying in the stinking barracks, sleeping soundly. The squad leader on duty was also not there, and was said to be having fun in a brothel in a nearby town. The private army easily controlled the dozens of so-called militiamen who stayed behind in the garrison and made them squat in a circle in the yard, waiting to be interrogated. Upon hearing the news, Old Jonah arrived at the militia camp and saw the private soldiers taking inventory of the armory and warehouse. He cursed the little bastard in his heart for his quick movements, but his face showed fear and trepidation as he pleaded with Roger, the leader of the team, and took out a heavy small cloth bag and handed it to him. But Roger had a cold face and just waved his hand to knock the purse to the ground. Although Roger himself cannot be said to be honest and incorruptible, he is not stupid. At first, he was just a cavalryman, working for the Knight Master, so of course he had to take the benefits. But now he is the Knight Master, working for the Governor. Whether he can do this well or not can be said to be related to his future career and fate. Becoming a formally canonized knight or taking a small bribe, he can tell which is more important! It was also the first time that Jonah saw a private soldier who did not accept bribes, and he was stunned for a moment. At this time, a ragged and drunk young man came towards this side on horseback. He didn't care about the pedestrians on the street at all, and he galloped at full speed and cursed. "Get out of the way, everyone! Who dares to come to my territory and cause trouble? " The young man on horseback is Hansen Saxon, the son of old Jonah. He is his father's knight squire and the deputy captain of the militia. He is actually the one in charge here on a daily basis. Because he is the son of the richest man and the future knight, he is used to being arrogant and domineering. This man had been staying overnight in a brothel and was sleeping soundly when his subordinates came to report that the vigilante group's base had been raided. The man jumped up and rushed out without asking who was causing trouble. The old man was still hungover at the moment, and his mind was not very clear. He saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the vigilante group from a distance. He, like a gangster leader, got angry and rushed towards the crowd with a whip. Then, as luck would have it, the person he faced was his own father. Fortunately, old Jonah reacted quickly and his legs were still nimble enough to dodge his own son’s “fast horse” in a panic. He turned around and cursed, “You bastard.” When Hansen heard someone scolding him, he pulled the reins, slowed down, and rode in a circle. He was about to raise the whip to hit the person, but then he saw his father glaring at him. He immediately lost his temper, and all the alcohol in his body was sweated out in an instant along with beads of sweat. "Father!?" "Get off my feet, you evil creature!" Jonah roared and dragged Hansen off the horse, snatched his whip and started whipping him hard. He used all his strength to whip Hansen, making him scream. Roger and the private soldiers just watched with interest, and no one stepped forward to stop them. Roger was summoned by Dick before he came. Dick told him clearly that this was not an ordinary crackdown, but to disintegrate the vigilante group, or more precisely, to disintegrate the local vigilante group headed by the Saxon family. This group of people is very complicated. They usually do that kind of thing, and have nothing to do with protecting the country and the people. They are pure evil forces. Therefore, taking advantage of this assassination, not only should the weapons of the vigilante group be disarmed, but also as many people as possible should be arrested and interrogated strictly.
So Roger just watched, and when Jonah had fought enough, he waved his hand, and immediately two private soldiers came forward and tied Hansen up, which scared Jonah. He has already used this self-torture tactic and beat his own son to death, why is he still arresting him? Then no matter what he said, Roger was holding the governor's order, and no one could stop him. In the end, the armory and warehouse of the vigilante group were emptied, and more than a hundred people including Hansen were arrested. The local people, who had suffered for many years, did not dare to applaud, but they could not suppress the smiles on their faces. Only the people of the Saxony family were disheveled in the wind. However, later that day, Jonah's son Hansen was released. He was the only one of the arrested vigilante members to be released. Dick specifically instructed that he should not be treated violently, and that lunch and dinner should be sumptuous. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, someone should be sent to "respectfully escort" him out of the castle prison, so that he could walk out of the cell as dignified and clean as possible, in front of the other prisoners. If he wasn't reluctant, Dick would even want to roll out a red carpet for this spirited young man! Hansen had no doubts and thought that the new governor was afraid of the strength of their Saxon family and did not dare to do anything to him. He did not notice how many pairs of resentful eyes were cast around him when he walked past a group of vigilantes who had been hungry for most of the day, smelling of wine and meat. In short, as soon as he got out of the prison, a surprise interrogation began immediately behind him. The vigilantes, who were so angry that they could not stop telling everything they knew, confessed everything they knew. Through their mutual accusations, Dick was able to fish out several "big fish" from the crowd. "Is this Saxon family forming a vigilante group? Or a bandit group?" Looking at the report submitted by his men, Dick was shocked. The entire vigilante group has a total of 187 people on the roster, and currently 31 are on the run. It is estimated that more will be caught in a short period of time, but among those who have been caught, 11 were found to be wanted criminals, and three of them have actually lost their lives. It can only be said that Lagug's self-police group was not upright from the root. The money was collected by local gentry, but the Saxon family took the opportunity to seize the military power during the formation stage. After all, his family was a knight and had the support of David, the acting governor. Therefore, the Saxon family used the money collected by everyone to build up a black and evil force that followed their lead. Most of the members are local ruffians. With this group of people as the backbone, good people basically don't want to come. So in order to expand the troops in the later period, old Jonah absorbed a lot of "passing heroes", and only looked at their skills regardless of their background, which eventually led to the current situation. Dick quickly made a judgment: those who had committed many bad deeds in the local area were directly sent to the hard labor camp in the mining area, and those who had rewards on their bodies were sent to exchange for money. A few who had committed fewer bad deeds and were deceived were sentenced to six months of compulsory labor before being released. However, the verdict will not be executed immediately after it is handed down. Dick will have to keep these people in prison for a while until he has dealt with things outside and then make their assignments. After getting rid of the vigilante group, the Saxon family lost two-thirds of their strength. There should be some people left in his manor. David played an ostrich the whole time after the assassination. During this period, he even pretended to hire someone to pack his luggage, as if he was going to leave Laguge in a few days. But Dick knew very well that he was the one who arranged the killer that night. If old Jonah was not stupid, he would have thought that it was his doing and he clearly wanted to frame him. Obviously! There was a disagreement between the two! Although Jonah wanted to kill Dick when he first met him, he had made preparations for both situations. The honey trap was his temptation to Dick. If Dick was a "sensible" person, he would definitely not mind kicking David out and cooperating with Dick instead. David simply wanted Dick to die, but because he was timid and afraid of trouble, he didn't have the decisiveness and ruthlessness of old Jonah! After putting the interrogation materials into the file box, Dick walked to the map and studied the terrain around Qilaguge Castle. At this time, Ayane from the killer team appeared, knelt on one knee and asked Dick a question. As a new colleague who was summoned recently, although she gave up the assassination of her sister Xia, she developed an inexplicable competitive spirit and wanted to compete with her sister in everything. She knew that Dick had to deal with the local forces led by former Governor David and the Saxon family, so she took the initiative to offer advice to Dick. "My Lord, why don't you just get rid of those people? Be it David or old Jonah, they are not strong. As long as you give the order, I can do it tonight..." "Ayane, I know you want to show off, but don't blame me for not warning you. You are not allowed to act rashly without my order! This is not a reminder, but a warning. You have to remember it!"
"Yes, my lord." Ayane lowered her head and obeyed in a low voice. She could hear the seriousness in Dick's voice. This young man seemed to be his true self at this moment, exuding the oppressive aura of a superior. However, this aura only lasted for a moment, and the other party casually changed back to a casual tone and spoke.
