The monkey felt that his experience during this period was full of ups and downs, as if he was in a dream. He first betrayed his boss Barol and took his place as the leader of the hyenas in Blackcastle and became a big man among the freedmen, but an ant plague knocked him back to his original form, and then instead of dying, Barol's boss found himself and his sister Elsa. The monkey thought that this was a dead end, but he didn't expect that Barol didn't kill him, but instead pulled him into a whole new world, the world of secret agents. Only then did he realize that from the moment Lord Balor took him and his sister Elsa in, he had become Barol's pawn.

His sister Elsa was taken hostage, and the monkey lost his freedom, but he knew very well that as long as he was useful, Barol would not easily raise the butcher knife against him and his sister Elsa. As a result, the monkey resumes working for Barol and undergoes further training as a secret agent.

Under Balor's leadership, the monkey and his companions travel through many bustling towns and towns, where they come into contact with the local grey forces, including killing, fraud, and bribery. Eventually, he was left by Barol in Redwood, Barony of Schultz.

Barol ordered the monkeys to develop a grey force in Redwood, keep an eye out for the Barony of Schultz, and obey the emissary's orders when the organization sends someone to contact him. The monkey has no right to refuse, and he has become accustomed to the life of a freedfolk hyena.

In fact, the monkey thinks it's not bad to follow Lord Balor. As for freedom, hehe, what is that? Can it be eaten as a meal?

Soon, the monkey was thriving in Redwood, thanks to his cunning and cunning nature, as well as the Order's helper Hamir.

Silent and skilled in martial arts, Hamil kills without blinking, does not covet women's money, and is simply a powerful, self-disciplined, and cold-blooded monster! The monkey increasingly feels that the power of mercury is unfathomable, and he does not dare to betray, but he longs to be reused by the organization!

Now, here's the opportunity! The big boss behind the organization is right in front of him, and he has promoted himself to be a sheriff!

Victor spoke: "Balor has trained 5 disciples in Black Castle Town, and I only see you alone, do you know why?"

The monkey secretly admonished himself, and said honestly: "When my lord passed by Redwood Town, I guessed that Lord Barol was your person, but I didn't dare to think about it, I didn't dare to ask, I was afraid of death.....

In that year, in order to turn Queen Catherine against Victor, Sylvia set a trap and asked Nelson to kill the steward of the princely party nobles. Victor traces down the whereabouts of the subject Balor and meets the monkey in person, and then Baror is resurrected and kidnaps the monkey siblings. A few months ago, as soon as Victor arrived in Redwood, Mercury's men contacted Hamir and Monkey. Everything is connected, how can the monkey guess that the boss behind Barol is Victor, but he doesn't dare to show the slightest bit of his feet, but what he can think of, how could Barol not think of it.

In fact, as long as Victor activates Redwood Town's shadows, it is possible for that person to detect who is behind the scenes. But the monkey was always a danger to Barol, and he left the monkey in Redwood with the intention of killing it when it was finished. Luckily, Victor didn't have the habit of killing his killers, and the monkey made a good impression on him at the beginning.

"Did you see your sister?"

The monkey raised his head and said gratefully, "See, thank you, sir." ”

The monkey's younger sister, Elsa, is now adopted by a family of war bear mercenaries, the little girl is very clever, her adoptive parents treat her as their own, and her life in Randall is very nourishing. The monkey glanced at it from a distance, but did not dare to recognize it.

"Don't think too much of yourself, and don't think too much of the lord. You can go and see your sister at any time. The monkey said yes, and Victor asked, "How did you get involved with the sheriff in Redwood?"

"My lord, Grey, the sheriff of Redwood, is the younger brother of Baroness Schultz, who stabbed a basket in Kasan and was broken in the spine by a group of mountain bandits, and Baron Schultz transferred him to Redwood as sheriff. The team left by the former sheriff of Redwood Town, Gray didn't use it well, I seized the opportunity to kill the hyena leader, and bribed the sheriff with money. Gray took me as a confidant, and I was usually responsible for collecting money for him, intimidating dishonest innkeepers, co-opting thieves and liars, and keeping an eye on the caravans. I'm doing the dirty work for the sheriff. ”

Victor nodded and asked, "You've been in Pinghu Town for more than ten days, what do you think of it?"

"It was beautiful and clean. The monkey thought for a moment and said, "It's just too clean......

"Isn't it too clean?" asked Lilia coldly.

"No, no!" the monkey waved his hand and said curtly, "there is no ...... here It's that I'm not used to it. ”

Victor asked faintly, "Nothing?"

"There are no taverns, inns here. I mean..... That kind of tavern. ”

"A place to have fun! haha。。。。。 Nelson laughed, and his voice lowered, as Linda and Lilia stared at him viciously.

"A dozen homicides, plus a dozen death row inmates to be hanged. Randall led a few months and killed more than thirty people!" Victor glanced at Lilia and Linda and asked, "Monkey, do you think it's normal?"

"My lord, I have never had a situation in Castle Blackwood or Redwood where a prisoner was hanged. The monkey replied, "We're going to beat those who don't follow the rules to death, and if we can't, we'll have to drag them out and bury them." ”

Victor pointed at the monkey and smiled at the crowd, "That's why I chose the monkey to be the sheriff." Professional things should be left to professional people. The same is true of dealing with villains among the freedmen. ”

"Monkey, do you know what a sheriff does?"

When the words came to his mouth, he was swallowed back by the monkey, he had never been a sheriff, and he did not dare to say nonsense in front of the lord, so he said: "It is all up to the orders of the lord." ”

"Hyenas do the dirty work for the sheriff, and the sheriff does the dirty work for the lord. Victor said lightly: "Linda is a lady, and in her current status, she is not suitable to continue to serve as a sheriff. And the first thing you did when you came to power was to hang those murderers!"

The sheriffs were responsible for maintaining local law and order on the surface, but behind the scenes, they had to do many shady things for the lords, they controlled the gray organizations of the territory, colluded with bandits and mercenaries, robbed caravans entering the country without permission, and dispersed the camp camps in the wild.

Victor had always planned to replace Linda, but due to Nelson's affection, there was no suitable candidate. Father Miller confronted Victor with how could a pregnant woman be allowed to carry out an execution order? Victor relayed Miller's exact words to Nelson and his wife, and Nelson and Linda suddenly became sullen. Victor also explained to them the nature of the sheriff's dirty work, and took advantage of the situation to dismiss Linda from her position and arrange a new job for her. In fact, Linda didn't want to be a sheriff for a long time, she just wanted to take care of Nelson's territory and take care of their unborn children.

Linda recommends an old mercenary to take over the position of sheriff, which is vetoed by Victor. The mercenary's unfamiliarity with the villain's tricks is just an excuse, and the separation of powers and checks and balances is Victor's purpose. The War Bear mercenaries control the military led by Randall, so they can't hand over the law and security to them.

Victor chose the monkey.

Monkey is a villain, just right for the dirty work, and he's so weak that he has no choice but to cling to Victor's thighs. Promoting Monkey to Sheriff not only quickly quells the freedfolk villains' rivalry, but he also serves as a buffer between Victor and the members of the Divide of Jobs.

"Monkey, Randall's territory is different from other territories. Victor said, "You must keep the peace of the freemen, and my vassals and subjects are within your jurisdiction." If one of them kills people for money and bullies men and women, do you dare to care?"

"Dare!" said the monkey in a very sloppy manner.

Victor nodded and said, "I have a basic requirement for the security of the territory, it doesn't matter if the villain can get better or not, but don't let the honest and simple person become a villain!"

"Don't worry, my lord. The monkey said respectfully, "I will obey those scoundrels and make sure that they do not dare to oppress the honest people!"

"Nelson, Linda, take the monkey to the sheriff's office. By the way, tell those vigilantes that if they don't cooperate with Sheriff Munk, they will go home and farm. When Victor had finished speaking, he said to the monkey, "Behave well, and I promise you will live comfortably." But also remember, Inspector Linda will be watching you!"

Nelson grinned, patted the monkey on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, Sheriff Munch!"

The monkey gave Linda a revered look and bowed to Victor and Lilia.

After the three of them left the conference room, Lilia frowned and asked, "Victor, do you believe in the loyalty of monkeys?"

"I don't believe it!" Victor shook his head and asked, "More than three years ago, my vassals were still free people, do you believe in their loyalty?"

Lilia hesitated and said, "It's better reliable than monkeys, why don't you choose a sheriff among them?"

Victor asked in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about how much damage it will cause to the family if the vassals I choose are in the same league with other vassals and deceive the superiors and subordinates? If I kill them, everyone in the other vassals will be in danger, causing the family core to fall apart." So do I kill or not?

"This ......"

"Loyalty is a precious quality, an unshakable belief that comes from a sense of belonging and identity. It takes hundreds of years for a liege family to produce loyal vassals. And free people have no sense of belonging, and of course they will not have loyalty!" Victor sighed: "The vassals of the Randall family are all free people, how can I expect them to remain loyal?"

Lilia said unconvinced, "I don't know about the others, but we Bear Mercenaries are all loyal to our lords!

"That's right. Victor nodded and smiled, "That's because you accepted me!"

"Do we accept you?" Lilia stared at her big watery eyes and said suspiciously, "It's obvious that the adults accepted us!"

"You grew up in a mercenary group, didn't you realize that you were different from the free people?" Victor explained, "You are like a family, and you have a deep sense of belonging and identity with the mercenary group. Not to abandon your companions is your faith. Ant-Man laid siege to the hill camp, and I resisted to the end without abandoning anyone. Since then, the War Bear mercenaries have truly accepted me, so you will be loyal to me. ”

Lilia nodded silently.

"How can I believe in the loyalty of the members of the mercenary group if they do not have the belief of the mercenary group? Moreover, people are the most fickle, and the lazy may become industrious, and the simple can become villains, sometimes just a thought, sometimes because of a change in circumstances. ”

Victor said lightly: "To be honest, the War Bear mercenaries will also change, not to mention other vassals?"

"No, they won't be ......," Lilia stubbornly grew weaker and weaker, she had indeed noticed the members of the War Bear comparing themselves to each other.

"Whether it will change or not, what I want to tell you is that as the head of the family, don't pin the future of the family on others. Victor said, "The Randall family's background is too shallow to guarantee the loyalty of their subordinates!

"The loyalty of the organization?"

"Yes, an organization with a well-established system, even if a few members betray the organization, it will not have much effect, if everyone betrays, it will be our problem. Victor said.

Lilia blinked her eyes and asked in a coquettish voice, "My dear, what is an organization with a perfect system?"

"Well...... Victor's face was embarrassed, the lease and employment system was just a copy of the centralized system, and he knew the theory there.

Victor coughed dryly and said, "In short, anyone can turn the earth without it!"

"What is Earth?" asked Lilia, curious.

"That's not the point!" Victor pretended to be calm and said, "I mean, take the money to work, and if you don't do well, get out of the way and let someone else come!"

"What about me?" asked Lilia.

"My dear, you are my legal companion, the lady of the Randall family, how could I abandon you?" Victor quickly explained, "But if you are not willing to manage the family's internal affairs, then I can only find a housekeeper, and I have to give him your annual salary." Now you should understand, the annual salary is prepared for the position. ”

Lilia nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Are you going to change the village chief?"

"I can promote a freeman to a sheriff, and I can make a freeman a village chief! Of course, this is just an example, and I will basically not let a freeman hold an important position. Victor shook his head and said, "However, the future is unpredictable. Who knows if our officials will betray their families or if they will encounter misfortunes, and we can't paralyze village affairs without one village chief? Moreover, these village chiefs of ours have not seen much of the world, and when they are in power, they are easily co-opted and corrupted by people with good intentions. ”

"In order to avoid this, we must first decentralize power, and we cannot delegate the power of villages and towns to the village chief alone. Second, it is necessary to effectively supervise family officials and stewards, and finally, it is necessary to establish a relatively fair reward and punishment mechanism. ”

"I have completed the decentralization, and the Ombudsman and the Justices of the Peace can also play a supervisory role. However, you must improve the details of supervision, and you must also come up with a set of evaluation rewards and punishments for officials and stewards. ”

Lilia pouted coquettishly, "You teach me." ”

"I don't care! You're going to work if you get a salary!" Victor waved his hand angrily and said, "But I can tell you that you must hold the right to appoint and dismiss personnel in your hands, and you can't hand it over to the village chiefs! In addition, every free folk family that builds a house and enters the household is classified as the registered population. They will be our people. I'm going to Blackcastle tomorrow, and hopefully you'll get it all done when I get back. ”

"You're going to bully me!" Lilia stomped her feet.

Victor pulled the little beauty into his arms and teased, "Honey, I like to bully you." ”
