Chapter 3 The Lord's Duties, Punishing the Evil Servants
In the next few days, Ron often went in and out of the study as usual. In the future, he will live for a long time and cannot be ignorant of the world he lives in.

However, reading books is a good way to understand.

From the time travel to the present, Ron found that there were very few types of food, and the taste was very light, as if no salt was added.

Although he was puzzled, it was inconvenient for Ron to directly ask the chef if he put any salt. If there was no salt in this world, people would be suspicious.

This is also one of the reasons why he spends time in the study. In fact, there are many factors in life. Ron must figure it out before he can formulate countermeasures for a better life in the future.

Otherwise, just having a long lifespan but not being able to enjoy delicious food and being extremely boring all day long is suffering.

Ron didn't want to do that.

-

The former baron and his wife had already been buried in the ground a few days ago, and Ron attended the funeral of the two with great emotion in his heart.

Perhaps in a sense, the Arnold family is over in his generation.

After this, Ron will face a test.

The reason is that Ron's succession to the baronetship seems to have to go through some procedures, so don't worry about it, Egbert can handle it on his behalf, but according to him, Ron will go to the capital of Carlo to meet the king within three months.

The king will issue a document to Arnold, proving the legitimacy of Ron's inheritance of the fief and title.

So far, Ron has not been out of the baron's mansion, and he was suddenly asked to go to the capital, and he was a little panicked.

Ron thought about it for a second, he was immortal, so what was he afraid of?After Egbert finished the process, he immediately went to the capital to see the customs there.

I often heard Irene say that Wangdu is very open, and he also wants to see and see.

In the study, Ron was working at his desk. He should take responsibility for inheriting the title.Egbert handed over some of the relaxed and less urgent documents to Ron, which was also considered exercise and adaptation.

In the future, it will be handed over to Ron slowly, after all, he is only managing it.

Ron took out a document and read it carefully. This was his first experience, and it was very interesting.

"On March 37th, in Assam village in the west of the territory, a suspected ferocious beast attacked and caused the house to collapse, resulting in five deaths, three serious injuries, and [-] minor injuries. Most of the villages are elderly and children who cannot work."

Ron read it softly, and when he saw his brows furrowed at the end, he realized that the lord's burden was heavy.

The disaster written on it may be just an ordinary thing in these documents, but if it is not dealt with seriously, those citizens will not be able to receive basic relief, and will starve to death.

If you send people to help, how will you arrange the people and how much money will you spend?

Ron didn't have a bottom line in his mind.

Putting the document aside, he took out another copy to read.

"On February 21, a group of thieves appeared in the territory. The number ranged from 7 to 14. They were named 'Black Crows'. The whereabouts of the Black Crows are uncertain. Dozens of thieves have already been hacked by them."

After reading it, Ron was very angry. Isn't this what happened last month?Why haven't you caught those people yet?
He was puzzled in his heart, and his eyes fell on the pile of documents next to him. Could it be all these things?

Ron flicked his bow left and right, quickly browsed through all the documents, and felt tired immediately.

"It seems that there are many problems in this territory. These are small things that Egbert thinks are not urgent, so what are the big things?"

Suddenly, Ron found that he wanted to enjoy life leisurely, it seemed a little difficult, and the conditions did not allow it.

Just as he was lying on the chair in a daze, Irene knocked on the door and said, "Master, Mr. Egbert, please go over and say that Elva was caught by Uncle Abel."

Um?what's the situation?
-

When Ron came to the hall with Irene, Elva was kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, his hair was disheveled and his head was bowed, unable to see his expression clearly.

Egbert and Abel stood on the left side, surrounded by four knights on standby. Seeing Ron's arrival, they bowed their heads in salute.

"Lord Lord."

Ron nodded in response, and looked back at Elva who was kneeling on the ground again, thinking that there seemed to be something else hidden, otherwise he would not be guarded by the four knights and his hands were tied.

"Tell me." Ron signaled Egbert to explain why.

Hearing this, Egbert stepped forward, first glanced at Elva coldly, then bowed slightly to Ron and told about what Elva had committed.

"According to the investigation, Elva has relied on the power of the previous baroness to dominate the mansion for more than ten years, and has successively sold the things in the mansion for profit."

When Ron heard this, he was stunned for a moment. It seemed that no matter where he was, there were such people.

Egbert continued: "In the beginning, Erwa just stole some worthless things, but you also know, my lord, that no matter how worthless, a grain of sand flowing from a nobleman's nails can make an ordinary family live. Good life."

Ron's face was tense, and he motioned for him to continue, but he was actually surprised in his heart, so the nobles are so rich?
"Erva was originally the lady's personal maid when she married into the baron's mansion. Later, she became the head maid of the mansion after being recommended by her lady. Afterwards, she intensified and sold things in the mansion until the master and madam passed away. She didn't hide it. Abel and I can catch her tail!"

Egbert looked ashamed after he finished speaking. As the housekeeper of the baron's mansion, he failed to find out about this matter, and he was very negligent.

"Hmph! My lord, you can't just let people who eat inside and outside like this just like this! You must be severely punished!" Abel was very angry. Their Cavaliers even had no money for training equipment for a long time, and Elva even stole it. Selling things from the mansion outside is simply not a human being.

Ron stared at Elva, and Irene said that she often went out, and she should be looking for buyers to sell goods. Recently, she often made eye-catching big moves. She was not as careful as before. This guy might be planning to run away.

But why?

"Erva, can you plead guilty!" Ron asked scoldingly, unable to figure it out.

Hearing the lord's voice, Erva burst into tears, the voice was loud, piercing and disturbing, and one could not help but slap her unconscious.

"My lord, I was wronged. I have never done anything wrong to my lord. I have worked hard for more than ten years." Elva began to complain.

Ron didn't want to hear her defense, and he wasn't one to take sides.

He came to stand in front of Elva, and Elva stopped, even stopping what he was about to say.

"Head up."

The voice is not loud, but it gives people an illusion of surrender.

The fact is also true, people in this world have deep-rooted thinking, nobles are always superior to others, Erva is just a commoner who doesn't even have a surname, she can't refuse the orders of the nobles, and she dare not refuse.

The next moment, Ron's index finger rested on Elva's forehead, and the people on the side didn't know why, so Elva, who was the person involved, was even more confused.

The moment her finger touched Erva, her character card appeared in front of Ron.

【Silver One Star】

【Elva】

[Favourability: 20 (resentment)]

【Entry 1: Sneaky (white)】

[Sneaking: When doing things like stealing, you will not be eye-catching and suspicious, reducing the probability of exposure]

Sure enough, Elva was able to steal from the baron's house for more than ten years without being discovered. Apart from being backed by someone, he also has something of himself.

Ron withdrew his finger, the entry attributes on Elva's body, coupled with the marked 'resentment' favorability, ended up not running away.

"Abel."

Hearing the lord's name, Abel hurried forward, "This subordinate is here."

"Take people down, and interrogate the reason for the eagerness to resell things." Ron left after speaking, followed by Irene.

"Yes, my lord."

Abel ordered the four knights to take the yelling Elva down, looked at Egbert, said nothing, and went to deal with the task Ron gave him.

-

"Irene, how much should the Baron's Mansion pay for the disaster in Assam Village?"

After Ron left, he went back to the study to deal with official business. At a loss, he threw the question to the bewildered Irene.

"I, I don't." Irene was very nervous. She was just a little maid, so she didn't know how to manage the territory.

Although she sympathizes with Assam Village from the bottom of her heart, and it will cost a lot of money to save it, which is not worth mentioning to the Baron's Mansion, but how can she guess what the young master is thinking?

Say less, useless.If you talk too much, I'm afraid the young master will be unhappy, then she will be finished.

Seeing Irene's uneasiness, Ron asked something else, "Irene, you were born as a commoner, where did you live before you came to the baron's mansion as a maid?"

Following Ron's question, Irene returned to her usual state of talking, and he gradually got the answer he wanted.

"I used to live in Kote Town, my parents opened a fruit shop in the town, and there are younger brothers and sisters at home"

There are three towns and more than 100 villages in the barony under Ron's jurisdiction.Among them, Cote Town is the closest to the Baron's Mansion, and of course it is also the most prosperous of the three towns.

Looking at it this way, Irene's family still has a little money to open a fruit shop in the town.

"Then why do you want to come to the mansion to be a maid?" Ron asked casually.

Hearing this, Irene twitched and said: "My father wants me to marry the son of the owner of the butcher shop next door. I don't want to. That's when I saw the baron's mansion recruiting maids, so I came. My younger siblings are young and do all the housework. I did it, so I got in very successfully."

"You're only 14 years old."

Ron was surprised at first, and then realized that it was very common for thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls to get married, and he didn't say anything later.

Seeing Irene's puzzled eyes, Ron didn't explain, and motioned her to continue.

Ron learned that the civilians in the territory were rarely educated, and those who could go to school were wealthy businessmen. Only a very small number of civilians wanted to change their children's fate, so they were sent to school to acquire knowledge.

"How much money does your family make a day selling fruit?"

Irene wondered why the young master cared about this, but whenever Ron asked, she would answer seriously.

"When it's more, you can earn 2 silver coins a day; when it's less, you can only earn more than 60 copper coins."

Ron has some knowledge about the currencies in this world. The commonly used currencies are divided into three types: gold, silver and copper, with a ratio of 1:100; It circulates between empires, and ordinary nobles can't see it.

Taking Irene's family as the standard, the villagers in Assam Village only get paid 2-3 copper coins per day, with a maximum of 5 copper coins.

Thinking of this, Ron fell into thought.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the study, and Abel's voice sounded, "My lord, I'm here to report about Elva."

At Ron's behest, Irene opened the door and let Abel come in to speak.

"My lord, the matter has been clarified. Erva thinks that the baron's mansion is not as good as before, and wants to make a final fortune and flee to Viscount Gordon's next door."

A very boring reason, Ron thought that someone was colluding with Elva to assassinate him.

Raising his hand to interrupt Abel's words, he said, "Punish her according to the rules of the house, and then drive her out."

"Yes, my lord."

Abel was about to leave, but Ron stopped him again and told him, "By the way, get back all the money that Elva embezzled."

"Mr. Egbert has already done this." Abel replied.

"That's good, it's okay, you can go to work." Ron waved his hand, thinking that the handsome old man moved very fast, and he was a talent.

-

At night, Erva came out of the baron's mansion with a haggard look. She turned her head and stared at something with a pair of resentful eyes. After a long time, she slowly disappeared into the night.

Mansion hall.

Egbert stood opposite Abel. The former had a stern face and spoke slowly.

"Abel, you send someone to watch. If there is any abnormal behavior, you can execute it on the spot. We can't put the lord at any risk."

"Yes, Mr. Egbert."

Abel nodded, thinking in his heart that even if there was no abnormality, he still had to get rid of the cancer. He was a knight in the baron's mansion, and it was his duty to protect the lord.

Abel then left the mansion with the two knights.
