In the infirmary of the Inner City Defense Camp of Crewe, in a separate ward, Baron was lying on a hospital bed, and the church priests and scholars were trying their best to grab him.

Baron Jack's most dangerous wound was a penetrating wound in his chest, which the priests were carefully repairing with holy powers, and the scholars were responsible for blood transfusions and cleaning the wound of infected toxins.

Outside the door, Sir Shazot, the commander of the city defense battalion, personally led two sergeants to handle the door.

Farther down the street, patrols had been secretly doubled inside and outside the castle, and the three gates were closed at the first time.

Due to their historical reasons, the Imperial Guard Service has not been able to install the security station, so the security cases are generally under the unified jurisdiction of the city defense battalion, which allows the local nobles to expand their rights a lot, but at the same time, the security is much worse than that of the rest of the empire.

The Borg father and son were assassinated, and it was at the corner of the Nomir neighborhood, Sir Shazot, as the commander of the city defense battalion, was almost not scared out of illness, after all, the title of the Borg family was not the court count, but the Count of Fanbang, one of the four lords of the Crewe Territory, and his assassination in the Crewe Territory could even be compared to the orc invasion.

Moreover, the place where the Borg father and son were assassinated was actually at the intersection of the streets of the Nomir neighborhood... You know, it's less than two hundred meters away from Fort Kavar.

In other words, the Borg father and son were almost killed at the gates of Kawalburg.

The worst thing is that this case happened to happen the day after Baron Pedi returned to Crewe.

"Is there someone deliberately provoking the castles of Kavalburg?" thought Sir Chazotte...

Still is...

Sir Charzot shuddered, and he did not dare to think about the next thing. "Damn, who the hell did that. Sir murmured, "Is it okay for the hell to do such a thing in the city?"

He can only complain, he doesn't expect himself to be able to investigate the whole story of this case at all, no, it should be said that he doesn't want to investigate this case at all, because he knows his weight very well, as a veteran who climbed from the lowest squad leader step by step to the highest commander of the city defense battalion, he knows very well that this assassination case is hidden.

"Smack"

"Smack"

The sound of light footsteps interrupted Sir Charzotte's thoughts, and he subconsciously looked up to see a short, middle-aged man in a gray robe, with a crystal necklace on his chest that symbolized his status as a magician, and he swayed very conspicuously as he walked.

"Where is Sir Shazot?" the magician glanced haughtily at Ser Shazot and the two sergeants beside him.

"I am Sir Charzotte. "Sir Shazot didn't like the arrogance of magicians, but the habit accumulated over the years made him subconsciously bow his head.

"Who are you?" the magician stared at Shazot, who was dressed in ordinary city defense battalion leather armor, and the confusion in his eyes flashed, "I am Cowlil, Baron Pedy's personal magic advisor, and I have come to visit Baron on behalf of Baron Pedi and ask for the details of this morning's case. ”

When Collier introduced himself, his expression became even more arrogant.

Originally, Pedi had intended to come and inquire in person, but before he could do so, he was stopped by the Duchess of Saviara, and when Pedi asked why, the Duchess said, "You must learn to rule over your subjects, and not let your subjects rule over you." ”

Pei Di didn't understand this sentence, but in the end he chose to follow his mother's arrangement and did not insist on going to the city defense camp to inquire in person.

Sir Shazotte took the paperwork from Collier's hand and returned it with a glance, the look of humility on his face became even stronger, and he lowered his voice very low: "Your Excellency, Baron is now in the rescue, and as for the details of this case, it is in charge of Sergeant Tev, the chief inspector of the city defense battalion. He said as he gave up a seat and made a gesture to open the door.

"Don't bother with the work of the bachelors. Cowlier hurriedly stopped, he took two steps forward and stood outside the door, observing through a small gap, "Is Baron out of danger?"

"It's out of danger. Sir Shazot replied with his eyelids lowered, "The Goddess blesses him." ”

"Yes. "Baron Pedi needs to know the results of the investigation within three days, do you think this is possible?"

"This—" Sir Shazot was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Sergeant Tef always receives the favor of the Goddess, and it may soon come to fruition. ”

Collier's eyes narrowed, and he looked seriously at the middle-aged man in front of him, who was as low-key as an ordinary old sergeant, "What are you waiting for, take me to meet Sergeant Tefu now." ”

...

In the main hall of the castle, under the dome supported by dozens of huge round stone pillars more than a meter in diameter, Pedi sat on the throne of the duke surrounded by four columns on a high platform, and the officials of the castle were divided on both sides, and the representatives of the citizens and the representatives of the various legal organizations gathered among the seats arranged in turn at the entrance of the hall.

Under the high platform where Pedi was sitting, on the front of the two giant bear battle flags, two merchant nobles in silk robes were arguing.

At this moment,

Pedi is exercising the most sacred right of the Reagan family as rulers of Crewe: adjudicating disputes between nobles.

This is a typical commercial dispute: two businessmen are arguing over the ownership of a farm with one copy of the title deed each, and both of the title deeds are genuine, signed by the local commissioner and stamped by the official of the Kavarburg Castle, and the family coat of arms of the territory to which they belong is exactly right.

However, one certificate is very old, with the merchant to whom it belongs, which is his family property, and the other certificate is very new, according to the investigation, this is a new certificate issued by the local government of Gesen Town half a year ago, according to the confession of the merchant to which he belongs, this farm was transferred by him for fifty gold coins, and the local government can testify.

A month ago, there was evidence to prove that the transfer was carried out by a staff member of the farm pretending to be the farmer, and it was actually an illegal transfer.

But the aristocratic merchant who had spent fifty gold coins did not think that he had made the transfer illegally, because he had paid for it, and the certificate issued by the transferor was perfectly legitimate, and besides, his certificate was indeed genuine.

The arguing two men obeyed Imperial law at the advice of the local government and let Kawalburg decide the fate of the farm.

On the surface, the case seems simple, and it is clear who is right and who is wrong, all it needs is to ask the local government to compensate the merchant who spent fifty gold coins, and then the farm worker who committed the fraud is also arrested.

However, if Pedi did this, instead of being grateful to him, the merchants would think he was too weak, and then a large crowd of merchants would gather around him...

Therefore, the general judgment is to choose one of the two persons who have the title deed.

"Have you ever been caught?" asked Pedy, pretending.

"No, I didn't. Herman, the castle steward, flipped through the file.

"Can officials be held accountable?"

Paul, the old scholar who was also in charge of punishment, replied: "It has been disposed of, the magistrate has been dismissed, and the castle checker has been assigned to the border town city defense battalion." ”

"Yes. Pedi made a decision in his heart, but he didn't make a judgment at the first time, but looked at Herman and asked, "As the head of the castle, what is your opinion?"

"My personal opinion is that the farm is owned by the original owner. "Herman's 'personal opinion' bites hard.

"I support Herman's opinion. Old Bachelor Paul didn't wait for Gray to ask before he gave his opinion.

Others, castle officials, remained silent ...

However, as Pedi's inquiring gaze swept in, they all continued to express their opinions, and most of them, except for a few who remained silent, chose to support the original owner of the farm.

After listening to the opinions of all parties, Pei Di said with a smile on the face of the original owner of the farm: "Since there is still a dispute, what do you think of the temporary takeover of the farm by the Kawar Chamber of Commerce before the main culprit is arrested and brought to justice?"

In the hall, whether it was the people who were watching or the castle officials, they were all stunned.

"Your will. The nobleman who had been cheated out of fifty gold coins was the first to react, and he actually showed a hint of joy.

"Your will. Soon, the officials and the original owners of the farm reacted, and although they were surprised by Pedi's verdict, no one dared to contradict Pedi's divine verdict in public.

Soon, the two parties quickly retreated with a wave of Pedi's hand...

A few minutes later,

Two more nobles entered the hall arguing.

It's just before lunch,

Pei Di has only finished dealing with most of the aristocratic disputes that have accumulated this month.

...

Instead of having his mother and sister for his first lunch, he invited Baron Aemond, the treasurer of the castle, and for this lunch, he had the kitchen buy crabs from the town of Seca on horseback, which were specially prepared for Baron Aemond.

In the main dining room of the castle,

Amid the soft music of the violin, the silver lid was opened, and Baron Aemond, who had been invited, was visibly stunned, and then said gratefully: "Oh, thank you very much, my lord, I haven't eaten the sea crabs of my hometown for a long time. ”

"Then you're going to have a good time today. Pedi smiled faintly,

At this time, the assistant butler Simp motioned for the manservant to pour red wine for the two of them.

"Wine and seafood are a favourite pairing for the townspeople of Seka. Baron Aemond said heartily.

Peddy didn't say anything else, he took a sip of red wine and began to enjoy the roasted bacon.

More than ten minutes later,

When Pedy was half-full, he glanced at Aemond's plate, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and waved at Simp, the assistant butler.

Soon, the servants exited the restaurant in an orderly manner, led by the assistant butler Simpu.

When the door was closed again, Pedi shook his glass and said, "Baron, our conversation was interrupted in the morning, and now, I need your plan." ”

Aemond smiled respectfully and said in a very low voice: "My lord, if you mean the weapons and equipment of 50,000 regular troops, then, I want to know your bottom line. ”

"For the next few months, everything will be in the service of the war against the orcs. ”

Baron Aemond's voice was lowered, "Then, I suggest that you make plans when the case of Count Rezester has a result, at that time, there may be unexpected surprises"
