Chapter 219: The Fate of the Earth Dog
After Bogg, the cousin of the earth dog, saluted Roderick, the dog man glanced at Zhan Tianhu and Andulan proudly, and then cautiously glanced at Ouyang Feng, who was talking and laughing with the chief steward, Borg had never seen Ouyang Feng, but knew that it was definitely not ordinary people who could talk and laugh with the chief steward, so he politely bowed his head.
Seeing Ouyang Feng, a small businessman, and the chief steward standing together, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very good, Tugou couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart.
Roderick didn't give the earth dog time to argue about the situation, and after signaling to Ouyang Feng, he asked the earth dog directly: "I have already investigated the things you said with the people here, but I found that what they said is quite different from what you said to me, for the sake of fairness, I asked you to come over and confront the people of the Qingyuan Guild face to face, I think the truth of the matter will soon come out." Hearing this, the earth dog was even more confused, and the chief steward smiled, but what he said was really unfavorable to him, and he didn't know what the chief steward was thinking for a while, whether it was to help himself or what.
Roderick continued: "I just heard that you didn't follow the requirements of the Qingyuan Guild to carry out the construction, which brought a lot of losses to the Qingyuan Guild, and the shopkeeper here asked you to modify and rebuild but you refused, and threatened to strike, isn't that the case?" Tugou's face changed greatly when he heard this, he was not stupid, hearing Roderick say this, he naturally knew who this big steward was talking to, thinking of the consequences of Yan zhòng, he didn't know what to do for a while, just stood in place in a daze, and threw a look at his cousin Borg for help.
Borg has been sophisticated for a long time, and as soon as he heard Roderick's words, he knew that he was in big trouble this time, and glared fiercely at the earth dog who was looking for trouble. resolutely came to kill his relatives with righteousness. Take a step forward and kick the dog to the ground. He rebuked viciously and said: "You troublemaker, unlearned, unskilled, why didn't you say these things before, and you dared to conceal and deceive Lord Roderick, I am so disappointed, our family does not have such a bold relative as you, from now on, you will no longer be my nephew." After speaking, he hurriedly turned his head to Roderick and bowed deeply and said, "The big steward." I didn't know the truth before, if I knew, I would definitely send this scum to the city guard for sanctions, and I would definitely not bring him to you to talk nonsense, and trouble the adults to do it personally, this is my sin, I hope the adults will punish him. ”
Roderick didn't even look at Borg, nor did he let him get up, he glanced at the earth dog with an indefensible face like earth, and then said to Ouyang Feng apologetically: "It seems that there is no need to ask." I think the truth of the matter is already very clear, so there are good roots. It seems that I was reckless this time, and I apologize to you. As he spoke, in the stunned eyes of the entourage, Borg, and everyone around him who was watching the excitement, he apologized to Ouyang Feng without hesitation.
Ouyang Feng frowned slightly, he was really confused by this big steward, Ouyang Feng felt that even if Carl's face was big, it would not make the first person under this city lord bow his head and admit his mistake in front of so many people, not to mention that he was not wrong, what was the reason for this big steward to put his posture so low?
Ouyang Feng was puzzled, but he didn't have time to think so much now, so he hurriedly returned the salute and said, "The chief steward, you are really too polite." ”
Roderick straightened up, sighed slightly, and said with a bitter face: "Alas! People like us who hide in the City Lord's Mansion every day to deal with official business should indeed go out and walk around more, otherwise we will have to be deliberately distorted in the future. The villain who tells right and wrong is deceived, this incident not only brought the same to Your Excellency, but also almost ruined the image of the city lord's integrity, this qiē is all my fault, I will ask the city lord for guilt after I go back, the city lord is clear from wrong, I am most afraid of causing damage to others because of my own negligence, after the city lord knows about this matter, he will definitely go to the house to apologize in person with his character, this qiē is my fault, alas!" After speaking, without waiting for Ouyang Feng to speak, he pointed to the earth dog and asked Ouyang Feng: " What do you think should be done with this person who is playing with this?"
Ouyang Feng blinked his eyes, he didn't know what Roderick meant, he kept analyzing the intention of the sentence just now, 'I will definitely go to the house to apologize in person', and when I heard Roderick ask about his opinion on how to deal with the earth dog, Ouyang Feng shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "The family has a family law, and the city has a city rule, so it's better to be in charge." ”
Roderick nodded, frowned and thought about it, and loudly pronounced the verdict: "Benedict maliciously slandered the Qingyuan Guild, deceived the truth, and caused huge losses to the Qingyuan Guild because of his own negligence, I pronounce the sentence on behalf of the Lord of Gael City, Benedict apologizes like the Qingyuan Guild, gives compensation for the loss of twenty gold coins, and all his remaining family property is confiscated, and he is expelled from Ula City, and he must not step into Ula City and the surrounding area again, otherwise he will be killed." His cousin Borg, regardless of right and wrong, remembered his loyalty to the city lord and gave the departure hardware to compensate for the punishment of the Qingyuan Guild. Without waiting for the earth dog to come back to his senses, with a wave of his hand, the two attendants strode forward, tied up the earth dog who was still in a daze, gagged it and threw it on the horse's back, and rode away to seize all the property of the earth dog. Although Borg was fined five gold coins, he did not have any resentment, but let out a long sigh and thanked Roderick again and again.
After dealing with the matter of the earth dog, Roderick retired successfully, and after saying goodbye to Ouyang Feng and the others affectionately, he left amid the applause, cheers and praise of the ignorant crowd.
On the way back to the City Lord's Mansion, Roderick recalled the praise and heartfelt love of the people for his fair trial when he left, Roderick's heart was happy, and he secretly thought: "It turns out that doing good deeds is this feeling, it turns out that being respected is so comfortable, it seems that you need to do a little good and good deeds in the future." ”
After the matter was dealt with, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, Ouyang Feng and the others all walked into the store, Zhan Tianhu and Andulan looked at Ouyang Feng with awe in their eyes, and they were glad and proud that they could follow such a boss who could make the chief steward bow his head in public, even those guys and handymen, one by one, they all held their heads high and looked full of confidence.
Ouyang Feng briefly inspected the circle, and saw that the workers were all working happily, and the mercenaries who supervised the work were also walking around the small construction sites with a sense of responsibility, Ouyang Feng was very satisfied, and said to Andulan and Zhan Tianhu: "If the City Lord's Mansion sends the gold coins for compensation, you two can take them, Andulan has ten gold coins, and Zhan Tianhu has fifteen gold coins." Remember, these coins are not for you, they are for all of you, and I don't care how you spend them, whether it's to improve your food or do anything else, but I said ugly things in the front, no one is allowed to fill their pockets, and once they are discovered, they will be expelled from the meeting immediately, and they will have to pay ten times the compensation. Ouyang Feng's tone was not heavy when he said these words, but An Dulan and Zhan Tianhu felt trembling all over their bodies and nodded again and again.
Ouyang Feng didn't stay long, and after explaining some things, he and Qingfeng returned to the villa with the four of them, he still had to think about it, what kind of idea was this chief steward doing, and why did the city lord see his own people?
On the way back to the villa, Ouyang Feng and his party separated from everyone and continued to monitor the movements of the City Lord's Mansion, Qingfeng asked Ouyang Feng suspiciously: "What do you mean by that big steward?" Is it worth him to come over in person with such a trivial matter? Also, with such fanfare, they also made a scene in front of so many people, pushing us to a position where we can be on an equal footing with the city lord, what do you say these guys are fighting in mind?"
Ouyang Feng shook his head for a while and said, "I don't know, who knows what that old guy thinks, anyway, it's only good for us, and there is no harm for the time being, let's wait and see what happens." Let's go back and discuss the matter of the city lord first. ”
When Ouyang Feng and his party came not far from the door of the villa, they found a thin white-clothed figure walking away anxiously at the door, Ouyang Feng frowned, and was about to let Pei Di go over to have a look, when he saw Elena call Delia in surprise and ran over quickly. Hovering at the door of the villa was Delia, the girl that Qingfeng had poached from the mercenary union.
According to Qingfeng's words, Delia was ready to come over early this morning to accept a new job, but his mother suddenly felt unwell, how could Delia still leave her mother alone, so she stayed at home to take care of her bedridden mother.
Yesterday, Delia told her mother about her encounter with Qingfeng and Elena, and also expressed her strong hope for this new job, and Delia's mother was also happy for Delia after learning that there was President Jesse's guarantee that her daughter would not be deceived by the bad guys. Seeing that her daughter did not go to the appointment as agreed, Delia's mother felt deeply remorseful, and forcibly endured her physical discomfort to persuade Delia not to take care of herself and to take care of herself, Delia stubbornly refused to leave her mother, even if she didn't want this job, she would not leave her mother, because this is what she should do as a daughter.
Time passed little by little, and Delia's mother slept for a while and felt much better, not only was it not so uncomfortable, but there was no problem getting out of bed and walking around alone, and Delia settled her mother and hurried to the villa. However, when Delia came to the villa, the door of the villa was closed, and Delia knocked for a long time but no one answered the door, thinking that she was late and eliminated by those big people.
Delia, who was full of loss, was ready to leave, but her heart was unwilling, because such an opportunity was not only a well-paid job for her, but also her only hope now, the hope of getting her mother out of illness, so Delia decided to wait, even if those big people didn't want to see her, she had to wait until the people inside came out, she wanted to sincerely explain the reason for being late, and do her best to fight for that job, that hope.
