Chapter 16: Recruiting Mercenaries (I)

Although, Annellin had already guessed at the time. It is possible that his employer was someone who was in the nobleman's convoy. But Annerin never dared to think about this lord. For no other reason, as a fugitive who had been wanted for many years, it was hard for him to imagine that such a great nobleman would take the risk of running out to find him in person.

"My lord, I don't know why you arranged for me to eavesdrop on your conversation with that chief here?" Annellin looked at Mei Fei carefully: "The tasks you entrusted me with before should have been completed. ”

Mayfi picked up the words that Amand had written down and looked at them, no doubt that the accusations were enough to leave the group of evil-doers speechless. And then it's up to us to see what we can get out of their mouths. Thinking of this, Mei Fei looked at the professional thief and said, "Don't worry, the arrest warrants issued by the garrison against you have been canceled in the notice I issued in the morning, so you don't have to worry about your safety in the future." As for the commission for the commissioned task, I will have someone pay you right away. ”

Annerin bowed slightly to Mei Fei's right hand and chest: "I bring those of my companions, thank you, Lord Lord." ”

"But before that, you heard what the chief said. Seeing Annellin's puzzled expression, Mei Fei simply handed him the testimony record in his hand: "I think you should know better than we do about the evil deeds of those garrison officers, and you are also more skilled than me in how to interrogate them." ”

"So how to get them to confess all the things they have done over the years will be left to you, which is another part of the commission. ”

Annerin hesitated for a moment, but finally took the record and promised, "That's fine, my lord. ”

"Perhaps the Welsh Governor will soon come to his senses. Time is pressing, I'm going to have you take you to those officers right now, and you'll have to pry their mouths open quickly. Mayfield nodded and explained a few words to the professional thief, and then immediately summoned a captain of the knights of the guards from outside: "Gray, let someone go to Matthew's and bring back some people to guard the lord's mansion in your place." You shall accompany Mr. Annelin to the officers, and if Mr. Annelin needs anything in the meantime, I will order you to cooperate fully with him. ”

"Yes, my lord. The knight captain took the order in a deep voice. Then he immediately left with Annellin.

When the two of them walked away, there was no one around, and Mei Fei couldn't help but gently patted the corner of his forehead before sighing in his heart that he was negligent, he could have done it more elaborately, such as those thieves pointed out that it should not be arranged so abruptly, but unfortunately after receiving the news from Annellin, he didn't leave enough time to arrange it for him...

The Welsh Governor was clearly suspicious of the whole thing, and although he had not revealed any major flaws in the previous talks, it was clear that the other party had not left anything to say. Fortunately, Mei Fei threw the knighthood as bait at that time, which temporarily eased the situation and allowed the chief to successfully divert the direction of his thinking.

As far as the current situation in Blue Water City is concerned, his first priority now is not to bring down the garrison commander, otherwise if the commander who controls the garrison is allowed to leave with all the garrison in anger, then Blue Water City will lose its most important defense force at the moment.

Just for the purpose of stabilizing the other party and removing obstacles for him, the current situation is not satisfactory. Next, just let them chase down those thieves and keep the surrounding area of Clear Water City safe. It is believed that this alone is enough to make the Welsh Governor tired, and there is no time for anything else.

Such a predicament will occur because the manpower on his hands is too weak, and his dozens of guards and knights alone really can't stabilize Bishui City. The garrison could neither allow them to continue their reckless behavior, nor could they completely exclude them. Otherwise, a problematic garrison governor like Wales could have been forcibly detained directly as his lord.

I don't know how things are going on Matthew's side, if it goes well. Mayfi hopes to be able to recruit some people to fill the staff when they come...

—————————————————————————————————————.

The next day, the news that the Welsh Governor was about to lead the garrison out of Bluewater City to pursue the thieves had spread throughout Bluewater. The source of this news came from the mouth of the leader of the mercenary group who followed the lord to Bishui City.

For this, the people are convinced and rejoice. And they were not so disgusted with the garrison commander, which at least showed that the commander was not in league with his officers and the thieves.

In the morning, when the merchant Tamu came across Amand going out of the Lord's Mansion with a mercenary group, Amor made a point of mentioning this to him. To him, it was all like the lord's arrangement. The clever merchant understood the meaning almost immediately, and he quietly relayed it to the buyers and merchants who came to trade with him...

Tamm's guess was right. These were deliberately spread out by Mafe at the behest of Amar. Ease the conflict between Wales and the garrisons, and at the same time let Wales feel at ease to deal with the bandits.

Along the way, Tamu was lucky enough to have not only recovered the goods from the thieves. Just today, he bought this batch of goods at a good price, and since they had followed the lord into the Blue Water City, he had not paid any taxes along the way. In addition, since the lord was exempted from business tax for three months at the same time yesterday, Tamu didn't even have to pay the original transaction tax. As a result, he made more money from this trade than almost anywhere he had ever been.
