"Yes, sir! When we arrived in the front yard last night, we found that the gate of the castle had already been secretly opened by Benny, and he had ridden a horse in the stable, and I immediately took two guards and went to the stable to ride in pursuit," Audrey kept his head down, and his tone of voice was a little low.

"When we rushed out of the castle, Benny was already running down the hill down the road to the west, and we pursued all the way, and Benny finally found that he could not get rid of us, so he abandoned his horse and went into the woods by the roadside, and after Benny got into the woods, we lost his trace, and after I had one of the guards guard the horses, I went into the woods with another guard to search, but found nothing. We searched until dawn and we were back! ”

After speaking, Odri saw that Gervais did not have any mood fluctuations, and continued: "My lord, it was the villain who was incompetent and did not catch Benny, please punish him!" ”

"It's not your fault, Benny even secretly opened the castle gate, which no one could have imagined!" Gervais finished his last bite of food and looked at Audrey.

When Benny was on duty in the middle of the night, he even opened the castle gate in advance, indicating that he had planned to use the horses in the castle to escape, as long as he let him run out of the castle on horseback, it would be basically difficult to catch him at night.

If the castle gate had been closed at that time, it would have been possible to catch turtles in the urn, and Benny would not have been able to fly with his wings. It's useless to go out over the wall, you can't run far on two legs, there are horses in the castle, and you can catch up with him in a moment.

Gervais regretted a little in his heart, why he knew that Benny had a problem yesterday, and still delayed preparing to solve it today.

If you had made a decision yesterday afternoon and interrogated each guard one by one, you would definitely have been able to find out what happened to Benny, and it would not have happened in the middle of the night, not only did you toss for half the night, but Ike was seriously injured, and whether he could survive or not would have to be observed for two more days, and the most hateful thing was that he was run away by Benny, the main culprit.

As a global person, procrastination is a very common phenomenon, from students writing homework to adult work, most people have procrastination, but the consequences of procrastination on earth are very mild.

But in this world, Gervais was obviously very free yesterday afternoon, but he wanted to schedule things to be done today, but he didn't expect an accident to happen in the middle of the night.

Procrastination is really not suitable for existence in this world, and as a lord, you need to be diligent. Gervais admonished himself in his heart.

……

With the lesson of last night, Gervais's style of doing things today began to be vigorous.

Now that he is ready to start patrolling the territory, Thomas does not have to follow him today, because Gervais asked Thomas to go to the town to recruit male and female servants.

There are too few people in the castle, if there was a manservant on duty in the castle last night, I believe Benny would not dare to take the risk to sneak in, and each corridor in the castle originally needed to be lit with candles, but because there was no one to replace it, only the third floor where Gervais was located kept the candles intended, or because of the three of them when Ike was on duty.

Gervais came to the vestibule, and Thomas was already waiting with Gervais's horse, a total of four horses, one of which was equipped with a flatbed carriage with a cross on it, and a man tied to it at this moment.

This man is Benny's men, who were captured by Gervais last night, and Gervais plans to take him on a tour of his territory today. As for the man who was cut down by Ike last night, he had just been ordered by Gervais to hang on a wooden pole in the town square.

It's not that Gervais is cruel, but Benny and his two subordinates are doing anything wrong in this territory, although the serfs dare not be angry, but they must hate these guards very much, if Benny is still alive and well after Gervais arrives, then these resentments will not be long before they are transferred to Gervais.

If Gervais will punish the three evildoers, then he will quickly gain prestige, as well as the goodwill of serfs. Although most of the nobles considered the kindness of the serfs worthless.

But Gervais who came through had a different opinion, in Gervais's mind, he believed that only by gaining the recognition of the serfs with the widest population base could a territory really develop, and when the serfs felt that Gervais was a good lord and a good master, then they would work hard for Gervais, and the payment of taxes would not be delayed.

Without rushing to get on the horse, Gervais rewarded Johnny in public at the door, and although the servant sneaked out of his room in the middle of the night, the merit outweighed the demerits, and Gervais asked Thomas to reward him with 20 copper plates, as well as a large piece of white bread that Gervais had not eaten in the morning.

Under the envious gaze of the other servant, Thomas handed Johnny 20 copper plates and whole white bread.

After rewarding Johnny, Gervais didn't delay any longer, stepped on his horse, and prepared to go.

At Gervais's orders last night, the horses had been fed this morning, and Gervais took Laurie, Audrey, and two local guards out of the castle gates.

The other guards needed to guard the castle, so there were four retinues of Gervais touring the territory today, as well as a prisoner tied to a carriage and covering his mouth with rags.

……

Viscounty of Ranny, Blackstone Castle.

In a lavish hall, Lenny is sitting on a soft sofa with a bewitching woman in her arms. The woman's clothes were revealing, and her slender body was like a water snake, completely hanging on Viscount Lanny's bloated body.

From time to time, the enchanting woman picked up fruit from the fruit bowl held by the maid next to her and fed it to Viscount Lanny's mouth.

Bang bang bang~

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the hall, and Viscount Lenny pushed away the bewitching woman and said loudly, "Come in!" ”

After Viscount Lenny finished speaking, a man who looked like a butler outside the door slowly pushed open the wide two doors and walked in cautiously.

"Lord Viscount, there's an urgent message from the Earl of Jones." This man was Viscount Lenny's butler, and as a butler, he knew best that Viscount Lenny hated people coming to this hall to disturb his pleasure at this time.

However, because of the urgency of the matter, the butler did not dare to delay, and as soon as he received the urgent report, he hurried to report to Viscount Lanny, and the housekeeper walked quickly to Viscount Lanny with the letter and handed the envelope to him.

When Viscount Lenny finished reading the urgent report handed by the butler, his face sank like water, and his teeth clucked.

Bang dang~

Finally, furious; Viscount Lenny lifted the fruit plate in the maid's hand and smashed it into the center of the hall, and in an instant a fine disk was smashed to pieces, and broken porcelain pieces were scattered all over the ground.

In the hall, both the housekeeper and the enchanting woman who was like a water snake just now were frightened and did not dare to come out.

"I canonized the territory, I canonized it, that slut, the territory that no one has managed for more than 30 years, now there is a lord! Yes... Ahh

When Viscount Lenny cursed loudly, the butler and the others trembled, but no one dared to persuade them.

The butler is Viscount Lanny's confidant, and he has already read the contents of the emergency report, and he fully understands why Viscount Lanny is so angry.

Although Lenny was a viscount, he was greedy and stingy, and was well-known in aristocratic circles.

Recently, Viscount Lenny has been very interested in a place, which is the buffer zone between Viscount Rainey and the county of Jones, Viscount Rainey discovered a remarkable mineral by chance a long time ago, but most of the location of the mineral is in the buffer zone of the Jones family.

Originally, the old earl was a golden peak knight, and Viscount Lanny didn't dare to make the slightest move, but he didn't expect that not long ago, the old earl disappeared.

This made Viscount Lenny feel that this was a golden opportunity, a gift from heaven to him.

So, at the risk of breaking the unspoken rules, Viscount Lenny did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a camp in the buffer zone, ready to start mining that precious mineral.

To be on the safe side, Viscount Lenny also personally repaired a book, plus five gold coins, and bribed the captain of the guard, Benny, who was stationed in Viscount Major.

Unexpectedly, only a month had passed, and the camp had only been built for a few days, and the territory had a new owner.

This meant that the five gold coins he had bribed Benny had gone down the drain, and most importantly, that his camp would be at great risk of being discovered by the new lord.

"Taby, you go to the camp yourself now, if the camp is really discovered by the lord named Gervais, you can't let them get close to the camp no matter what, if necessary, as long as you don't hurt the baron, everyone else can be killed!" The angry Viscount Lenny gradually calmed down after venting, and after thinking for a long time, he commanded the butler in front of him.

"Yes, Lord Viscount!" The butler named Tabi hurriedly agreed.

……

"Where does the road up ahead lead?" Walking out of the castle gates, Gervais stopped his horse, pointed to a winding dirt road, and asked the guards behind him.

"Lord Baron, that's the road to the mountain village by the sea." A guard behind him immediately replied, because the two of them were local guards, so they were familiar with all parts of the territory, and in order to get to the location of the red dot as soon as possible, Gervais planned not to stop in the town first, but to go directly to the outside of the town, facing the road in the direction of the red dot.

"Then let's go to the village by the sea first!" Gervais nodded, his legs clamped, and he pulled the reins, urging the horse forward.

"Yes, sir!" The guards listened to Gervais's order, and hurriedly urged their horses to follow closely behind Gervais.

Along the way, although there were not many pedestrians, they could occasionally meet one or two, all of them coming out of the fields on both sides of the road, probably because it was just noon at the moment, and these serfs were going home for dinner, so Gervais could meet a few people.

The serfs wore similar clothes, linen shirts, and many barefoot, except for one or two who wore straw sandals.

When they saw Gervais and his party, they were all hiding on the side of the road, not daring to move.

When Gervais approached them, the serf secretly looked around, and saw the guards behind Gervais, as well as the people who were tied to the carriage with five flowers.

"Lord Gervais patrols the territory! You don't hurry up and salute. ”

When Gervais and his party passed by the serfs, the guards behind them immediately shouted.

"See this person? Following Benny to bully you in the territory, now Lord Gervais has become the lord here, and knows about Benny's evil deeds, and has done justice for you. ”

"But Benny is too cunning, the Baron has absconded before he arrived at the castle, and only two of his men have been captured, this is one of them, and the other has been ordered by Lord Gervais to fall on the square of the town, you can go back and take a look!"

"Divine grace has enveloped you! With the arrival of Lord Gervais, you will have someone to shelter! ”

Of course, the guard's lines were explained by Thomas, otherwise how could a local guard who didn't even know a word shout so smoothly.

Gervais stopped his horse, and the serfs knelt on the ground without hesitation, and when they heard that it was Benny's men who were tied to the carriage, the bold serf raised his head slightly and peeked at the man tied to the carriage.

Seeing the serfs trembling and kneeling on the side of the road, although Gervais was not very adaptable, he also understood that the serfs had to kneel and salute when they saw the nobles, which was a rule that must be followed in this world, and he had no ability to change it.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Gervais thought that Benny was still on the run, so he instructed the guards who shouted: "Tell them that although Benny escaped, I must catch him and make him responsible for the crimes he has committed." If anyone finds or catches Benny, they can go to the castle and receive a reward of 1 silver coin. ”

……

Because they had encountered serfs passing by along the way, Gervais and his men traveled very slowly, and they walked for nearly an hour before they reached the place where Gervais was red pointed.

"Take a break here, I drank a bit too much water in the morning! If you want to go to the front, you don't have to come along. At the foot of a hill, Gervais saw that the flickering position of the red dot was already close at hand, just a little behind the hill bag, and immediately ordered everyone to rest on the spot, and he just took advantage of the convenience to go to investigate.

"Yes, sir!"

Gervais was glad that the red dot was on the side of the road, not in the jungle, and if he was in the jungle, he would have to find another reason to go in and find it, but now that it was near the road, it was convenient for him to do things.

Slowly adjusting the direction, Gervais walked towards the side of the hill bag step by step, there are not many weeds here, but there are a few small trees, and he deliberately found a small tree with dense foliage to block his figure, and Gervais began to look around and search.

The radar on the panel is very useful, and as the distance gets closer, it will continue to amplify, so Gervais does not need to search in a large area, and can directly lock the error within one or two meters, at this moment the red dot and the green dot have been completely fused, and the amplification function has been to the extreme.

"What could it be?" Gervais was a little expectant in his heart, but he looked around for a while, and found that there was nothing unusual, Gervais scratched his head, a little unsure what to do, after all, it was the first time he used this gold finger function, and he didn't know what the red dot really meant, so he couldn't find the entry point at all.
