our family is gone

Chapter 128 Wandering for half a life, not meeting the Ming Lord

The sheriff didn't know what to say when he saw this scene, but he began to doubt Lance's identity.

How could an aristocratic lord, moreover an earl, treat an ordinary person with such a gentle attitude?

Feelings of unreality pounded his brain.

On the contrary, Leonard and the others were not surprised by this scene. They knew what kind of person their lord was, and that was why they chose to follow him.

Lance let go of the woman in just two or three seconds. It was very simple for him to choose this woman. He needed someone to stay here to help him observe the situation in the town, and then record it and report it when the caravan arrived.

His cult can brainwash some people and place them in various places, so can he.

This kind of person is not just one, but many. He wants to set up eyeliners in all gathering places above the town in the territory, and collect information through caravans.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

Although he does not intend to regain the territory now, it is always useful to collect information in advance, which can help him understand what is happening in the territory and prepare for the future.

But this is just an addition, the talent Lance really wants has not yet entered his pocket.

Turning to look at the sheriff, he asked, "What do you think?"

Facing the interrogation, the magistrate frowned. To be honest, he didn't know what he should do. He was very confused now.

"I know you are a person with a heart for justice, but do you know why you have been working hard for more than ten years but you are still the most ordinary security officer, and you can't even be a sheriff?"

"Why?" The sheriff came back to his senses and blurted out subconsciously. He thought about this question for a long time, but he couldn't find the answer.

"You don't accept bribes and act according to the law. In the eyes of ordinary people, you are a stubborn fool who doesn't understand human feelings and can't adapt.

You pursue the case seriously, and in the eyes of the sheriff, you are blocking his money-making trouble and a threat to his profit.

If you weren't the only one in the entire security team to do practical things, and he needed your contribution, he might have kicked you out a long time ago.

And under the lobbying of these two types of people, you are incompetent in the eyes of the mayor, so he doesn't care about you at all.

The reality is that you, as a member of eliminating the threat of the cult and saving the town, ended up in the miserable situation of being expelled and kicked out of the town. To him, it is like throwing a piece of garbage at random.

The blame is that you are with the wrong people, they do not see the valuable qualities in you, and your talents are buried.

But I have seen, I can feel your pursuit of justice, and I am willing to believe in you, and I am willing to give you reasonable support to the greatest extent.

So are you willing to join me and let me realize your own platform for you, or just waste time like this, and only sigh when you get old? "

Speaking of which, Lance held out his hand towards the sheriff.

It has to be said that in the town, as Lance said, he offended most people by insisting on justice and the rule of law. Those colleagues who were also sheriffs never paid attention to him, and were even excluded. The only thing that could rely on each other was only dogs.

But now the lord's words made him feel unprecedented recognition.

"I'll join!" The sheriff knelt on one knee, raised one hand and supported the dog's head with the other, solemnly swearing, "William pledges allegiance to the lord."

"Wow!" And the dog also seemed to realize that this was a serious occasion, sitting upright beside the owner and barking softly at Lance, as if announcing that it was the same.

"It's my own people who don't need to do this, get up, get up." Lance quickly helped him up, just wanting to shake hands, he didn't expect these people to like this so much.

"You will never regret joining us. I am Disma, and I will buy you a drink when I go back." Disma, who was originally on the side, also changed from his previous indifference to enthusiasm.

"Welcome, you can call me Leonard." Leonard also nodded towards him, affirming this companion.

Everyone's reaction made William feel the approval of his peers, which was a wonderful feeling he had never felt before.

"I'm William, and his name is Figgs."

A few people chatted and got to know each other briefly, but Lance didn't want to waste time.

"There is plenty of time on the way to get familiar with him. Now you can help him pack up and see what he wants to take away. You will leave with us later. I will meet those farmers."

After dismissing a few people, Lance looked at the woman again, made a big cake for her with a speech, and then taught her how to collect information and the code to connect with the caravan.

"This is 100 yuan. The next caravan will bring you next month's expenses." Lance left a sum of money.

There is no need to talk nonsense, only money is what can actually improve their living conditions, and Lance has never been stingy about it.

However, this person has not been fully trusted, she has to be observed, and she has too much money, but it is not safe, one hundred copper coins is enough.

When Lance returned to the caravan station, the mayor was a little anxious. If it wasn't for the caravan, he would have thought that Lance had run away.

After all, someone was willing to take over the food, but he didn't want to watch the business leave.

"What are you doing, little brother?"

"I heard that you have fun in the back streets, so I went to have a look." Lance did not choke him, but just perfunctory.

"It's good to be young~ I don't have the energy anymore." The mayor laughed and teased when he heard it, but he was more concerned about another matter, and quickly reminded: "I've called everyone, look It's over."

"Let's go."

The banquet was placed at the mayor's house, and it seemed that the food was also a cost to negotiate the business.

Lance has nothing to say, he and those townspeople are not just chatting casually, they are very clear about the price of local food.
And those are the unit prices of retail investors. Now that he is engaged in more bulk trade acquisitions, the prices will only be cheaper, directly suppressing the purchase prices.

Those guys complained so much that they thought that Lance was cutting their flesh, but in fact they were all trying to squeeze a little more profit.

Lance doesn't care about the cries of these guys. They don't need to pay wages, and they basically produce food at zero cost. Most of the townspeople also have food themselves, and even sell it outside, so the local area can't digest their food reserves.

Now Lance is making sure that they can't sell it, and the things are squeezed and moldy in the granary.

"It's not easy for you, is it easy for me? Do you see that I am those carriages, all of which are hacked with knives and axes, and many horses even lost the carriages. We don't know how many people died along the way. go here.

Along the way, I saw some villages that were massacred by refugees. They were all fields, and the fields were full of food that hadn’t grown yet, but there were no people. Food is worthless now, do you know?
How much can I earn for a cart of grain?I also chose your place as my foothold because I wanted to open up this new business route. Otherwise, who would want to come to this remote place full of bandits? "

　Thanks to the two shareholders of [3 Great Devils] [Chi Ling 0] for the reward of 1500, and thank you for the monthly tickets.

　　I just found out that today is the winter solstice, so I quickly got up and added a new chapter.

　　It's the winter solstice, what are you eating tonight?
