Chapter 11: Labor Fighting

Art rode to the church site, but saw a group of people surrounded in front of him, wood and stone scattered all over the ground, Art got off his horse and approached and heard a rough voice sound: "No matter what bullshit guild you are, we only recognize the rules set by Lord Hader, he said that the sorting and unloading of the goods, these wood and stone are the work of our laborers today, no matter which guild you say, I don't recognize it." Whoever dares to rob us of this life, I will dare to let his blood go. ”

A yin and yang voice replied: "Big nose Otto, don't rely on a little strength to do it here. If you want to move your fists, we are not afraid of you, and if you want to be reasonable, go to the guild with me, and go with you to Bishop Orlov. ”

Art dismounted to separate the crowd and squeezed in, only to see a big-nosed strong man naked in the cold winter, staring at a guy with a goatee, and a group of people standing behind each of them, all dressed as construction site heroes. The goatee looked thin, half a cut shorter than the big nose, but he was not afraid at all, it turned out that there were nearly twice as many people behind him as on the other side.

The big nose said disdainfully: "Bah, go to the guild to reason?" Who doesn't know that you are from the guild, and it is the people of your guild who force the car dealer to hire your men to carry ......"

The goatee interrupted him with a shrill voice and shouted: "What do you mean to force people to hire us, I also do things according to the rules, I don't charge an extra copper plate than you, how can I force the car dealership?" Ask the people in the car dealership, have we persecuted them? Behind the goatee, a crowd chimed in.

The big nose sneered: "The car dealer doesn't dare to offend you, I don't need to ask them, I saw it with my own eyes, I don't need to confront it?" Whatever you say, we're done! ”

When the goatee heard this, the crowd was turbulent, and they all rubbed their hands, and the goatee said loudly: "You are unreasonable, don't blame us for being barbaric, I have long seen that your group of wild dogs in the countryside who are grabbing food are not pleasing to the eye, so I will fight for life and death today, don't talk nonsense, everyone will give it to me." ”

The goatee group shouted together, and they all picked up the sticks from behind, and rushed to the opposite side in a swarm, and the big nose side did not show weakness, and also took out the stone sticks from behind.

Obviously, both sides were prepared.

The crowd of onlookers saw that the situation was not good, and they retreated one after another. Art also led the horse back a few dozen steps.

The table tennis in the construction site is lively, the people on both sides are carrying wood and stones, they are tired of hardships every day, although they look lean, but they are all strong, brave and ruthless rough men, and the fight is very intense. There are a large number of people on the goatee side, and although there are few people on the big nose side, there seems to be a more tacit understanding, and several people are not scattered in a bunch, although there is no cooperation, but it is better than the other party rushing around.

For a while, the two groups of people were evenly matched, and a few people fell on each side.

The goatee himself hid behind and did not go on, and his mouth repeatedly beckoned his subordinates to attack, and the big nose was quite brave, and seemed to have a lot of experience in fighting, he took a few people with short wooden sticks to block left and right and knocked down several people, rushed to the front of four or five opponents to retreat again and again, saw that he also fell a few people on one side, and heard the goatee still shouting behind, his heart was angry, he rushed forward a few steps, hit the two sticks next to him, and knocked a person in front of him to the ground, and then ignored the others, and the short stick in his hand danced like a windmill, only to the person on the ground. I didn't dare to hit my head for fear of losing my life before, but I didn't care so much at this time, and after a while, the man on the ground held his head with both hands, screaming again and again, and his head was bleeding after a while.

A short, red-haired man behind the big nose brought people up to resist both sides, and the four or five people in front of him saw the miserable situation of the person on the ground, and their hearts were weak, and they hurriedly avoided the front of the big nose, and the big nose was waiting for this opportunity, and immediately dropped the person on the ground, and rushed to the goatee with a sprint from the gap, and hit the goatee head with a stick......

............

When Ron arrived at the church site with the carpenter, a wonderful group fight was over, the goatee was knocked to the ground by Big Nose with a stick, and Big Nose was beaten by the city hooligans who came to help from behind, and the armed guards of the monastery arrived at the scene in time to calm the situation. There were injuries on both sides, but there were no fatalities.

This kind of clash and group fights can be seen everywhere at various construction sites, and it is not surprising, but this time the scale is a little larger, and the situation is a little more serious.

Finally, the labor contractor named Hader came to the construction site, and apparently he was also a little afraid of the guild power behind the goatee, and after mediating for a while, he decided that the big nose side was at fault first, and he had to compensate the other party for sick expenses, and evicted the big nose and his party from the construction site......

Art looked at the laborers who were helping each other out, turned to Ron and ordered, "Ron, you came just in time, did you see the group of laborers who left the construction site?" Come with them, see where they live, and come back and tell me. ”

............

"Oh God!!" Screams rang out from the shacks at the base of the walls.

Otto wiped his sweat all over his head, and he regretted that he had fought hard with his men and the guild in anger today.

Most of the dozen or so fellows in the shack are bankrupt farmers from villages near Lucesinn, who have either been usurped by their lords or forced to abandon their fields by heavy taxes, and have lost their livelihoods and have to drag their families to Lusesin to survive, in this cruel world, they are stray wild dogs, oppressed everywhere......

"Albert, bear with me, and I'll scrape together some money to get you a healer in a moment." Albert and the few laborers lying in the straw pile were bleeding and pale.

Otto came out of the hut and came to the middle of a group of laborers gathered outside the hut.

"Brother Odo, I just paid for the injuries and illnesses of those mongrels, and there are not a few copper plates on everyone, I touched it just now, and I can't get together eight pfennigs, I'm afraid it's not enough to ask for a doctor." The red-haired short man handed Otto a few copper fennigs and a small handful of small copper coins of various colors.

Otto is alone, and the few wages he usually gets for his work are either drunk or distributed to the guys around him. The advantage of generosity is that he has some prestige among these laborers, and his arm strength is amazing, and everyone respectfully calls him Otto the Iron Arm; The downside is that he never had an overnight copper plate on him.

While everyone was distressed by the lack of money to treat the wounded, a guy in leather armor, wearing a leather jacket, and carrying a long sword at his waist walked up to the crowd with an entourage. Everyone was shocked, thinking that the guild had invited the city guards to ask for trouble.

Odo pushed everyone away, stepped up to the two of them, and shouted: "I instigated everyone to go today, it has nothing to do with them, if you want to arrest me, arrest me."

"You're good." Art smiled and said to Otto and the others behind him.

Everyone was puzzled, this was not like they had come to seek revenge......

"Your Excellency?" Otto looked at the two of them curiously.

"We are from the south, and today I saw you beating up the gangsters of the guild on the construction site, and I was very relieved, and I wanted to make friends with you." Art said as he walked towards the shack.

The crowd gave way to the two, and Otto saw that there was no one else behind them, so he followed them into the shack.

"They were all wounded with sticks, and their opponents were a little measured, and they didn't break their bones, so they asked a doctor to treat them, and they would be better in a few days." Art said to the crowd.

Everyone was puzzled by the two guys who suddenly appeared.

After watching in the shack for a while, Art said to Otto who came out with him, "Are you the big-nosed Otto?" ”

Otto glanced at Art, then at Ron, and inexplicably replied, "Yes, I am Otto." Who is Your Excellency? What exactly are you here for? ”

Art glanced around at everyone and said loudly: "I won't hide it from you, I am the border patrol officer who is about to go to Tinets's southern border, and I need to recruit a group of warriors to patrol the border with me south. Ate paused, letting everyone digest it.

"I think everyone has heard that the southern border is very chaotic now, and I was ordered by the Minister of Public Security to form a border patrol team, which is responsible for arresting thieves, resisting mountain barbarians, and maintaining border stability. If you want to be a soldier and eat food, come to me tomorrow before noon at the tavern next to the blacksmith shop in the south of the city. With that, Art took out two deniers from his bosom and handed them to Odo.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Since I have come, how can I ignore my brother who is lying in the house? Remember, tomorrow at noon in the south of the city next to the blacksmith shop, the old will not wait. With that, he left the shack with Ron.
