Jack now regarded Leon as the "future Earl of Campbell", so he felt that what he had just said was very much in line with the status of an earl, even if Kubi tossed it hard, even if the lord Viscount Anto was in person, he had to be polite to Leon.

Eric had his own interpretation of this sentence, and a grim smile appeared on his face, and he was extremely anticipating how Kubi would "pay" the compensation for the two gold coins.

Kubi didn't keep them waiting long, and soon a team of more than thirty people appeared at the intersection of the town, accompanied by the light of torches.

"It seems that there are quite a few people here this time, everyone get ready," Leon slowly walked out from behind, stood on the outermost side, and waited quietly with his arms folded.

"Sheriff, it's them!" Kubi's voice was loud at this time, and his face was gloomy, and he no longer had the simplicity he had just had.

Beside him was a tall middle-aged man, dressed in a decent white uniform, with two hands in the pockets on both sides of his chest, looking quite personable, or rather quite status. On the other side was a man in light blue light armor, which was exactly the same as the guard team he saw in the afternoon, but he had not seen this person at the time, and he was probably staying in the town.

In addition to Kubi's own mercenaries, these two were also followed by more than a dozen people, some of whom should be the subordinates of tall middle-aged people, and the rest were soldiers of the garrison team.

The middle-aged man straightened his waist and said in a deep voice: "I am the sheriff of this town, and this is the deputy captain of the garrison, where did you people come from, why did you frame Kubi's members for stealing property?"

"Framed?" Leon looked at Kubi's smug face, shook his head and said, "Bob has already admitted it, so it's also called a frame-up?"

"Admit it?" the sheriff looked at Kubi with a frown.

"No!" Kubi denied, "Bob never admitted that he stole the things, and all the accusations were made by the young man himself, and had nothing to do with us!"

"I hear you," the sheriff nodded in satisfaction, turning back to say, "I ask you to explain this. ”

"Where's Bob?" Li Ang knew that the strong man was hiding behind Kubi, but he deliberately asked, "Let him come out and confront me." ”

Kubi pulled Bob out from behind him, patted the other party's shoulder hard, and said, "What are you hiding, Mr. Sheriff and the deputy captain are here, don't be afraid!

Bob glanced up, although the young man opposite was expressionless, for some reason he felt an inexplicable danger, but Kubi frowned and pushed behind him, and Bob immediately staggered forward a few steps, standing in the middle of the two piles of people.

He was still hesitating, and Kubi's cold voice came from behind: "Sue them, Bob, I said you don't have to be afraid, we are all watching you." ”

Bob knew that this was a sign that the regimental commander had begun to get angry, and he had been cheering himself up in his heart - the regimental commander was right, the sheriff and the captain of the garrison were there, what was I afraid of?

He mustered up some courage, and made eye contact with Li Ang, and said hard: "I haven't stolen anything from anyone at all, and you have framed me in every way!"

"Awesome!" Leon looked away at the gray wolf leader opposite, and said in his heart, "Kubi, you really lived up to my expectations. ”

Kubi is very proud now, he doesn't know how much he has benefited with this honest face, pretending to be like him, saying some good things, he can receive more commissions than others, get more remuneration than others, why not, and he has won the trust of many people, thus avoiding several crises, it can be said that the gray wolf mercenary group has become one of the largest organizations in the vicinity, and his disguise is a great credit.

This time was the same, he had long known about Bob's behavior, and the stolen things had already been stolen, and the money he got was for them to eat and drink for more than half a month, so he couldn't let Bob admit it. However, seeing that there were many people on Li Ang's side and his tone was quite unkind, he was afraid of suffering a loss in front of him, so he first reduced the other party's suspicion and found an excuse to return to the town, and immediately found the sheriff and the deputy captain of the garrison to come over to support him.

Because he has done a lot of personal things for the lord Viscount Anto, not only does the viscount have a good impression of him, but he also has a very good relationship with the sheriff sent by the viscount to Greenwood Town, and the deputy captain of the garrison has accepted a lot of benefits from him, so these two people are his two umbrellas in the local area, and with them present, Kubi feels that his waist is much tougher than usual.

"How?" began to speak, "young man, don't think that you can frame someone casually because there are too many people, I can now ask the sheriff to punish you, apologize to us immediately, pay five times the compensation, and leave Devon!"

"I don't ask too much?" said Kubby, turning to the sheriff.

The Devon county in his mouth is the territory of Viscount Anto, including the town of Greenwood and two towns not far from the north, which is not large. However, Devon is actually part of the Green Mountain Domain, and Viscount Anto is the second son of Brian, Earl of Green Mountain, who inherited the viscount title, so the Earl of Green Mountain gave him Devon County in the territory as a fief.

The entire Green Mountain Territory is similar in size to Campbell's, but it does not cover the entire frontier like Campbell, as Leon's grandfather, Earl Campbell, was not only a Field Count, but also an official Border Count.

The real power of the border earls is more than that of ordinary field nobles, not only enjoying the absolute civil control and independent legislative power in the territory, but also the control of the border troops stationed in the territory of the royal capital, which can be mobilized with a warrant, and is equivalent to the commander-in-chief stationed on the border in wartime.

The Earl of Green Mountain has always been jealous of Earl Campbell's real power, so he once asked King Sver to give him the area near the border on the periphery of the territory, but he was refused, although King Sver is old, but not mediocre, he knows that the hereditary nobles like Earl Green Mountain are not like Count Campbell, who started with military achievements, but for the sake of the other party's face, he refused and persuaded him with good words, so that Earl Green Mountain completely dispelled this idea.

Although the original little nobleman Li Ang was gentle, he was a little interested in this kind of thing that made his face long, and he deliberately asked someone about the reason for the whole thing, which made the current Li Ang also leave these memories.

Therefore, he has a general understanding of the character of the lord of this place, Viscount Anto, and after the ordinary nobles - or it can be said that it is not too bad with the ordinary gentlemen, but because the territory is close to the border, and he knows that his Lao Tzu means to put him here to sharpen, so he does not dare to oppress the people too much, and he will follow the past, but he will secretly make some small money for himself to squander.

And the sheriff here should be his confidant, Leon wondered how the other party would express his position, and whether he would save some face for the viscount in the "neighborly affection" of Devonshire's border with Campbell.

As for those demands of Kubi...... Li Ang didn't even bother to look at him, the person who was qualified to make a similar decision here could only be the sheriff, and even the garrison had no right to interfere in ordinary disputes within the noble domain.

Looking at the sheriff's somewhat gloomy face under the torchlight, obviously thinking about something in his mind, Li Ang was not in a hurry, and stood in place with his arms folded and waited.

After a while, the sheriff slowly spoke, "Bandits have been rampant at the border recently, you need to go with me, and you will have to wait for your identity to be verified before making a decision." ”

"I can confirm their identity!" Veteran Jack took a few steps forward on crutches, but before he could say what he could say, he was interrupted by the sheriff.

"Shut up!" the sheriff rebuked, "Jack, don't think that because you're from Greenwood, you're qualified to protect others, since these strangers are in Devon, they're obligated to cooperate with my censorship requests!"

"I'm the deputy captain of the garrison team stationed in Greenwood," said the deputy captain, who had been silent for a long time, "I also agree with the sheriff's decision. ”

Leon turned his head and signaled to Jack that there was no need to say any more, from his own cognition, the other party was the spokesperson of the lord in Greenwood Town, this request was not excessive, but it was in normal times, and with Kubi on the side, the meaning was not so ordinary.

Li Ang was very suspicious that the other party was improvised, seeing that he was a stranger to the others, maybe he wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but it was not necessary to make money and kill him, and it should be inevitable to ask for some money and things for a few days.

He knew what the upright veteran Jack was going to say next, but now even if he said his identity, he wouldn't necessarily believe it, but would take a lot of time.

Li Ang's indifferent gaze swept over the people in front of him, and there were only more than thirty of them together, so he wanted to take away almost the same number of people under his command, relying only on the background of the lord and the military background of the garrison, and they had already decided that they would not dare to resist.

"But...... The festival has already ended, so why don't you make a big fuss?" Li Ang involuntarily put his arms on his chest, one of his hands supporting his chin, and thought with a wicked taste.
