Chapter 492 Personnel Handling

On the day of the execution, Lorist did not go to the scene, he locked himself in his study and stayed all day, not seeing anyone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Genorio knew he was in a bad mood and blocked all requests for an audience. And Shi Fatzi, the high-ranking members of the family, also understood Lorist's mood and did not disturb him with business. It wasn't until the evening that Princess Celivia, who was not relieved, came to the study and found Lorist sitting alone on the chaise longue by the window, watching the silver moon in the sky and crying silently......

This was the largest execution in the history of the Norton family, 349 people were convicted of treason or hanged, the most tragic was that all 17 members of the Hansk Governor's family, who started the family civil strife, were beheaded, and the young master Lesket, who was elected as the heir to the family, and the eldest son of the Norton family head Lorist were also hung on the gallows, and thousands of accomplices and their relatives were exiled to the border and overseas......

Not surprisingly, the trial and execution caused an uproar in the Northlands and the surrounding provinces, as well as throughout the kingdom of Andinac, and to outsiders, the Norton family's handling of this bloodless family strife seemed too harsh. After all, since the Hansk Governor's mutiny, there has been no bloody conflict in the Norton family, and the Governor of the Hansk has not killed those uncooperative family officials, but has taken prisoners and abandonments.

Compared to the treatment after Lorist's return, it is really a bit too cruel. Especially for Lesquet, although he is an illegitimate child in terms of identity, he is also his son no matter how he speaks, and even the published charges are nothing more than the same as those spoiled noble children do, oppressing the lords, playing with the maids, killing a few servants and untouchables, and blackmailing merchants, these are not a big deal. Even those aristocratic families with a very strict family education, if these things happen, they usually just send a housekeeper or the like to apologize and compensate, is it necessary to personally order him to be hanged?

Another point, even if it was a misunderstanding, His Royal Highness personally recognized Young Master Leskett as the heir of the Norton family, and also issued a letter of appointment. Although this is suspected of interfering in the internal affairs of the aristocratic family, when really dealing with Young Master Lesket, you must always take into account the faces of some Second Highnesses. Lorist directly ordered him to be hanged, which was not at all in favor of the face of His Second Highness. However, thinking about Lorlist's identity as a sword master, all the people who were muttering behind his back had to admit that Lorist really didn't need to give His Second Highness any face.

Only the high-ranking officials of the Norton family who know the inside story understand why Lorist is so angry and angry, and the family civil strife launched by Governor Hansk has almost destroyed the hard work of the artillery battalion, which Lorist has worked hard for several years. Only a few of the family's top brass who have truly seen the power of the Bronze Cannon will agree with Lorlist, which is the most important family force to rely on to ensure the Norton family's longevity for hundreds of years to come.

Governor Hanske took his own death, and on the night before his execution, Governor Koldan went to meet him for the last time with some wine and meat. The Governor of Hansk, munching on wine and meat, and scolding Lorist for not accepting his advice, which would lead the Norton family to a dead end, howls and wails, fearing for the future of the Norton family, and showing a generous and tragic spirit, as if he were a loyal servant of the Norton family.

Chief Kedan watched Supervisor Hanske's performance with the eyes of a madman, silent, until he parted after the wine and meat were eaten, and then sighed: "Hansk, you are blinded by power, and your talents are simply not enough to set off your ambitions. I understand your mind, you want to make yourself the next Kress Governor, in charge of the family. However, the current Norton family is not the Norton family in the corner of the Northlands, and the current Norton family rules the entire Northland and the three provinces around it, and its momentum is like the sky.

It is because of the current head of the Norton family, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, that the family has come to this point, and we can only serve the family better under his guidance if we are faithful. In my heart, you simply don't have the talent to control the current Norton family, and it would be wishful thinking to restore the power of the former head of Kress. Now, why do you pretend to be such a loyal servant of the family......"

With that, Director Codan shook his head and turned away, while Chief Hansk collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his pillar. In fact, Governor Codan was right, the Norton family before Lorlist's return was basically in the hands of Captain Cress, and Lorlist's father, Baron Norton, was responsible for all trivial matters in the family, whether it was the income and expenditure of money and the arrangement of family personnel, and Baron Norton was concerned about cultivation, hunting and fighting against the mountain barbarians......

It was wishful thinking that Hanks wanted to be the head of Kress in the Lorist era. In other territories, many lords also entrusted the affairs of their domains to their own family governors, as Lorist's father did, so that the lords feared and respected the lord more than the lord who was in high esteem. But here in Lorlist, such a thing cannot happen.

In terms of talent and insight, Director Hanks is no match for Fat Shi, who is trusted by Lorlist. For the sake of the face of the deceased old chief of Cress, Lorist did not fail to entrust the three directors of the original family territory with important responsibilities. Director Speer and Director Codan have won the trust of Lorist with their loyalty and diligence, but Supervisor Hansk is not outstanding in talent, and instead of working hard, he has the idea of ganging up to squeeze out newcomers, and his status in Lorlist's heart has plummeted.

As the elder of the Norton family, Lorist did not treat Governor Hansk badly, he, Director Speer, and Director Codan were the first members of the family to be canonized as a nobleman of the realm. Unfortunately, Governor Hansk didn't realize this, and instead used this to change his family's calendar, meddling in areas that were not under his jurisdiction, and even began to criticize Lorlist.

Some things can be tolerated, but there are some things that Lorist can't tolerate the presumptuous Governor of Hansk, and the final outcome is that Governor Hursk was kicked out of the upper echelons of the family management by Lorist and ordered to go back to the canonized territory to reflect. However, the paranoid Governor Hansk did not think that he was wrong, and instead returned to Maple Grove Heights, intent on putting Lesket, who he believed was born in Maple Grove and truly had the blood of the Norton family, to the throne of the family heir.

This is why Director Codan thinks Governor Hansk lacks talent and insight, as well as the ability to rule the whole picture. He initiated the family civil strife, did everything he could, and even got a letter of appointment from His Second Highness. He envisages a number of countermeasures after Lorlist's return to the Northlands, believing that the worst outcome is to divide the Northlands, with the Lorist father and son ruling the new and old family territories respectively.

It's just that the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, Lorist returned to the Northlands, the main force of the family's civil strife, the First Guards Corps, obediently disarmed and surrendered, and all the officials and fellow travelers who responded to the Hansk supervisor's nomination of Young Master Leskett as the heir of the family were all captured. Not only was he convicted of the family's rebellion, but even Young Master Leskett, whom they had high hopes for, was stripped of his surname and sent to the gallows.

By this time, all of Governor Hansk's plans had come to naught. What he didn't understand was how tightly Lorist controlled the entire family territory, and allowing them to have this family civil strife was just an opportunity to squeeze out the pustules of the family territory. The real reason why Governor Hansk failed was that he didn't understand that the current Lorist did not rely on the Norton family to achieve what he has today, but because the Norton family had Lorlist, he would have developed to the point where he is now.

On the third day after the execution day, Baron Christon was ordered to rush to the study of the City Lord's Mansion and appeared in front of Lorist.

Lorist had returned to normal, but there was a hint of gloom between his eyebrows. He had in his hand a dossier of the personal information of Baron Christon.

"You may be seated, Baron Christon, as the family's criminal director, you have done an excellent job in the past few years, forming patrol teams in every town in the family domain, and presiding over the compilation of the criminal code of the Norton family domain, which will serve as the basis for all criminal cases. As a result, you were made a Realm Baron by your family. Lorist's words were full of affirmation and appreciation.

Flattered, Baron Christon stood up and bent down to salute: "Your Highness, all this is just a duty that should be done by a humble duty, and it is not worthy of such praise from Your Highness." ”

Lorist nodded: "Long story short, I recruited you this time to change your seat." I am going to split the Volibell Intelligence Investigation Bureau, one is the external Intelligence Investigation Bureau, and the other is the internal security affairs department of the family, referred to as the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Their duties are to guard against outside snooping on the family domain, monitor rebellion within the family, and maintain the security and stability of the family territory. This head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Schward recommended you, Baron Christon, what do you have in mind for yourself?"

Baron Christon's face showed a look of surprise, as a thoughtful family official, he knew the relationship between Schward and Lorist very well, no wonder the family would send a messenger to summon himself back overnight, who was investigating a criminal case in Demke Province.

"Your Highness, you are willing to serve your family loyally and never give up. Baron Christon replied with a serious face.

"Very well, Baron Christon, I am glad that you have the courage to take on the responsibility of the family. Lorist said with great satisfaction: "I will give you three days to go to Tagger to find out about the current security and monitoring procedures within the family domain, and at the same time you will write a report on your vision of this Ministry of the Interior agency, and you will also have to make a budget for capital expenditures." I hope to see these reports in three days' time. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, I will not disappoint you. ”

Genorio was ordered to take Baron Christon to find Targer. The second person Lorist will see next is Béruneck.

The white-haired Bérunek entered the study and knelt down on one knee in front of Lorist: "Your Highness, it is my negligence and carelessness that have caused irreparable damage to the family, please punish me." ”

Lorist was taken aback by his actions and hurriedly helped him up, reassuring him that it was not his fault that the family civil strife initiated by the Governor of Hansk was not his fault, and that he was fooled and placed under house arrest because he trusted the Governor of Haske, and eventually led to the First Guards Regiment being controlled by the Governor of Hassk and his accomplices.

Speaking of Beruneck, one of the first golden knights of the family, he is most famous for being the silver three-star knight of the family before Lorist returned to the territory of the Northland family, in order to save Lorlist's younger brother and the demon bear, but Lorlist's younger brother fell from his horse and died, although he himself killed the demon bear, but he was seriously injured. Then he was poisoned and harmed by the four major civilian families in Kitano Town, and he lingered on the sickbed for two or three years.

It wasn't until Lorist returned to the family territory that as a part-time pharmacist, Lorist saw through the conspiracy, took Berunich back to Maple Grove Villa to detoxify, and gave him a high-level Dou Qi cultivation secret, so that Berunister was promoted to the gold rank. For Lorist, Berunić was the most trusted family knight in his original family domain, and he appointed him as the commander of the First Guards Legion, entrusting him with the responsibility of guarding the family domain.

It's just that because he was also born in Maple Grove Villa, Bérunek went to the banquet in front of the love of the head of Hansk, and then fell into the trap. After rejecting Governor Hansk's request to support Young Master Leskett as the heir to the family, Belunek found that he had unknowingly been poisoned by Governor Hansk to dissipate his fighting spirit, and his cultivation was lost.

Fortunately, Governor Hansk also hoped to convince Beronek to play with him in the future, so he put him under house arrest in Maple Grove Villa until he was rescued by Lorlist. Well, he had already been poisoned twice, and Beruć was so embarrassed that he rushed to Angry Bear City as soon as he was physically demobilized to ask Lorist for his guilt, demanding that he be held accountable and punished.

Lorist persuaded for a long time, but Berunik insisted on refusing, believing that as the Golden Knight of the Norton family, he must bear the consequences of the family civil strife caused by his own fault. Lorist had no choice but to think about it, dismissed Berunik from his position as the nominal commander of the First Guards Legion, and deducted his salary and welfare allowance for two years, and said that he was ready to transfer Beruniac to serve in the three major legions of the family armed forces after a while. As soon as Berunik heard that he had the opportunity to go to war, he happily took his leave.
