Chapter 52: Public Trial

As the owner of a village, this is the first time that Bailijian has officially appeared in front of everyone.

The first to speak was Liu Jing.

"Today, we have gathered everyone here because there was a very bad incident in our cottage, and nearly 30 people were involved in the fight. Fortunately, there were no casualties in this incident, otherwise what you see now would not be a person kneeling here, but a corpse on the ground. ”

Liu Jing's words were very harsh, and with the heavily armed guards around her, all the people secretly gasped. At this time, everyone remembered that they were in a den of horse bandits, and killing people was nothing more than a simple matter. The usual horse bandits treat such incidents with a straight knife.

"Now, all the people involved in the fight are already here, as for the cause of the incident, I don't want to say more, and then ask the owner of the village to announce their punishment!" Saying that, Liu Jing took a step back and gave up his position to Bai Lijian.

Bai Lijian cleared his throat, speaking in front of so many people for the first time, he was still a little nervous in his heart. After sorting out his thoughts, Bai Lijian spoke.

"I'm sad that something like this is happening in the cottage. Each and every one of you is a member of the cottage, and together we form such a collective. We hold each other together, for a common goal, for a better life. Not long ago, together we fended off multiple attacks from Feiyu Village and Nightbu, and finally thwarted them, and we were the winners. ”

"But it's only been a few days, and you're starting to do it to your own people. Have you ever thought that in case of another enemy attack, do you dare to hand over your back to your companions? ”

After a pause, Bai Lijian glanced around, walked to the kneeling group and continued: "I know that some of you are Han, some are Hu, and even some people from other races. Everyone's original lifestyle is different, and their living habits are also different, so it is inevitable that there will be friction. I can understand all of this, but you actually started beating people, and this is the first mistake you made. ”

"As for the rest of you, the second mistake you made when you saw someone fighting, instead of separating them, stepped forward to help. If I hadn't sent someone to stop you in time, wouldn't you be ready to the guys? ”

"This is the first time this has happened, and I hope it will be the last!" Baili shouted loudly: "I don't care how you dealt with the problem before, now you are all in my cottage, you must do it according to my rules!" ”

"Now I declare that the men who led the brawl will be beaten with 20 sticks, and all of them will be sent back to the prisoner camp and will be forced to serve for one year to see the aftermath. The rest of the men were likewise twenty sticks each, and if they reoffended, they would be sent back to the prisoner camp. ”

"In addition, from today onwards, there will be a special place in the cottage, called the public court, and Helanda will be in charge of dealing with the affairs in the cottage. Whenever you encounter something that is unfair or cannot be solved by yourself, go to Helanda and let him deal with it. If he can't handle it either, then report it to me and I'll take care of it myself. If there is a problem, raise it, and together we will find a way to solve it. In short, I don't want anything like that to happen in the cottage again. ”

Helanda, who was just watching the excitement on the sidelines, was also taken aback when he suddenly heard his name. He never imagined that Bai Lijian would give him such an important position to sit on.

Helanda had been worried about her situation all along. Their own tribe was defeated and co-opted, and it stands to reason that their entire tribe should be slaves. However, instead of reducing them all to slavery, Bailijian let him deal with the affairs of the civilians in the entire cottage, and now he has entrusted the task of managing the entire cottage to him. It can be said that the current Helanda, except for not being able to meddle in the affairs of the army, basically has the final say in the rest of the affairs.

"Helanda, in the future, things in the cottage will have to trouble you more."

"Thank you for the appreciation of the owner of the village, but my subordinates are worried that their abilities are limited and they can't handle the affairs in the cottage." Helanda replied cautiously.

"Don't worry, if you don't understand, don't know or can't make up your mind, you can come to me or the military advisor. It may be a bit hard at first, but I believe in you, who have the ability to do the task. However, in the process of dealing with things, you must keep in mind a principle, that is, everyone in the cottage should be treated equally. If I find out that you are showing favoritism, then you are not in this position to continue to sit. ”

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates will do their best to keep the cottage stable!" Helanda assured loudly.

Helanda was also secretly surprised in his heart at this time, although he was the leader of a tribe, he lived in fear all day long, and often had headaches because of the survival of the tribe. Helanda is not a person with big ambitions, although he can't be the leader now, but he still manages hundreds of people, and he doesn't have to bear the pressure of survival, and it is foreseeable that the cottage will have greater development in the future, and Helanda is worried about whether he can manage so many people.

As for Helanda's arrangement, Bai Lijian had already discussed with Liu Jing, Helanda is a timid person, but he is a person who is willing to take responsibility, and since following Bai Lijian to the south, he has been committed to maintaining the stability of the team. The Helanda tribe has not complained too much so far, and Helanda has played a considerable role in it.

It is really appropriate to use such a person to manage the civil affairs within the cottage. In this way, Liu Jing can be completely liberated, so that Liu Jing can have more energy to train the army, instead of wasting time and energy on maintaining the internal stability of the cottage.

At this point, Bai Lijian's purpose of holding this trial conference can be regarded as basically achieved. The originally complex personnel structure inside the cottage was treated equally by Bailijian in this conference.

As for whether it can be done or not, that's a later story, but judging from the punishment of Bailijian to punish the troublemakers at the moment, it is indeed Hu Han who treats everyone equally. With Bailijian, the master of the cottage, as an endorsement, the rest of the people will have a layer of security in their hearts, and they will not think about solving it themselves as soon as they encountered things like before.

In this way, the hidden dangers inside the cottage can be controlled to a certain extent, so that Bailijian can spend more energy to deal with the external situation, and by the way, consider the future development of the cottage.
