Under the gaze of all, the honorable Lord of Mendes, Baron William, sat on the high platform with his wife, dressed in rich clothes and with a subtle but majestic smile on his face.

Everyone got up and bowed to William: "Good afternoon, Dear Baron! ”

"Good afternoon, everyone!"

"It's time to go!" William said with a smile.

There are not many cases, even if the two estates and more than 50 villages have been piled up for two months, there are only a dozen cases that need to be tried by the court.

The entire kingdom of Tskema has a perfect system of laws and regulations, and William spent more than ten days formulating laws when he first arrived in the territory.

Therefore, it would be nice for these cases to be pronounced in accordance with the law, and William's presence here was just a routine.

After signing a series of documents for the death penalty, hanging, and imprisonment for varying lengths, another case caught William's attention.

William picked up the case file from the pile of parchment and read it carefully.

This case is not big or not, it is just a dispute between several families.

But the case is not small, and the cause of the case is a fight over various disputes between local civilians at Mendes Manor and immigrants from other places.

In fact, William could have tried this kind of case as an ordinary case, so that it would be completely effortless, and only a sentence of several years in prison or hard labor would have been sufficient.

William, however, was very faithful to the matter, and in his opinion it was not an isolated case, as the number of settlers in his domain was definitely more than two thousand, and the newly plundered men would join the commoners after the castle had been built.

What's more, if the territory wants to develop, according to the population growth of the normal territory, it will definitely not be able to keep up with William's development speed and ambition, and large-scale human trafficking, plundering and attracting immigrants will become inevitable.

If this kind of thing still happens at that time, it will undoubtedly be a threat to the stability of the territory, and William will never allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, this case must be properly handled, instilled in the people with correct concepts, and cooperate with the corresponding orders.

And this case can be used as a breakthrough to let the people see, he treats everyone equally, and if this kind of xenophobic malicious weapon fight occurs again, it will definitely be severely punished.

Seven young male lords were escorted to the bottom of the high platform by the soldiers who had been left behind, and they had been specially bribed by William before the winter, so they did not enlist in the army for training in order to cope with the upcoming spring ploughing.

And this winter, they had already cut down trees with William's permission to build their own homes, eating the food that William provided for them, although they had to pay it back, but there was still nothing to do this winter.

And this caused the dissatisfaction of the other local people in the village, why should you be able to build your house in peace, and eat the food provided by the Baron, while we had to be busy all year before we could survive the winter comfortably.

The uneven distribution of benefits led to disputes, and William immediately understood what was going on after reading the file.

William did not doubt the authenticity of the dossier, it was the spies he had Tus manage to prevent from providing it, and the control of the fifty villages basically depended on these spies, and the problem of the remaining troops was still unresolved.

However, William was very satisfied with the development of the espionage force, and the monitoring of the entire territory was completely done.

The seven civilians trembled after the midshipman beside William loudly wanted the crowd below to announce their crimes, and they had already seen the tragic situation of those who had been executed when they were below.

At this time, the lord was majestic in the eyes of everyone, and William's power was displayed in the most intuitive form in front of everyone at this time.

The civilians who knelt on the ground and were silent were motionless, waiting for William's sentence on them, although there are laws in the territory, but if the lord speaks, then the law is useless, so the lord is the master of everything in the territory, and the law is useless.

Of course, this is only in areas where the power of the church and the lower nobles is not developed, and in the neighboring holy city of the kingdom of Reborn, where nearly half of the land is owned by the church, the rights of the nobles are far inferior to those of the kingdom of Cikma and the Denlenburg region.

"Ahem!" William cleared his throat, and all eyes were on him.

Wella didn't make a move on the side, still with a polite smile on her face, she didn't like such occasions, but as a noble lady, this was something she had to attend, and Mrs. Comos was like that.

William stood up from the high platform: "There is only a fight between you, and there is no death, according to the law, you only need to pay half a year of labor!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the seven people below were obviously overjoyed, and in their cognition, since the noble baron said so, it meant that they did not need to bear a heavy punishment.

However, those who had some insight frowned, and they all heard another meaning in William's words, he did not intend to pronounce a sentence according to the law.

However, the group did not speak much, and helped Dean Cruise to sit on William's right hand, looking at the nose and nose, and not expressing any opinions.

He also had no way to express any opinions, compared to the area where the church was powerful, the entire Tskema Kingdom was the world of the nobility, and although the church had a lot of strength here, it still couldn't be compared with the nobility.

"However, I have to deal with the hidden danger of disputes between you!"

"There are indeed a lot of immigrants in my territory, and the population is not even inferior to that of a viscounty, so I have the respect of other nobles!"

"You know, my ambitions are far more than that, I will even become a viscount in the future, such a population is far from satisfying me, and the number of immigrants will definitely not be small!"

"Maybe the local residents feel that they have taken away your resources and have different living habits from you, while other immigrants also think that you are bullying them and disrespecting them!"

"However, what you have to know is that in other people's seriousness, you are all from the Mandes Manor, and you have brought the respect of others to the Mandes Manor!"

"Think about it, without immigration, what it would be like, there would be insufficient soldiers, not enough productivity, not enough food to eat!"

"On the other hand, without the local population, it is even more terrifying, there is no one to cultivate the farmland, no one to work in the workshops, no one to process weapons, and our homes without these people will attract invasion by others."

He took a long breath and continued: "Everyone is, and although the strength of the territory is also due to me, you are also heroes, every shrewd merchant, every industrious peasant, every strong hunter, every benevolent and peaceful monk, and even every well-trained soldier, every brave knight, are the capital of the strong territory!" ”

"So I don't want disputes between local residents and immigrants, and I will strictly stop any separatist tendencies and disputes that are not united in the territory!"

After saying that, everyone looked at William in great surprise, especially those civilians, they didn't expect to think like this in William's heart.

"Therefore, each of you shall bear the punishment of thirty lashes, and if there is no objection to it, it will be executed immediately!"
