I am reborn as a lord in Rome
Chapter 102
After a night of discussion, the four Hubble decided to probe Woolley's bottom first, anyway, the person from Lunvington City only brought a message to let everyone slap Woolley's face, and did not explain that Woolley must be put to death, since this is the case, then there is no hurry.
Not long after dawn, the four of Hubble walked into the mansion together.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu Lai sitting in the courtyard with a bronze sword in his hand, and when he saw the four of them enter, there was no expression on his face and he did not speak.
The four of them were stunned and suddenly became a little apprehensive.
After being stunned, Baker squeezed out a smile and said, "Good morning, Lord Woolley, you are really diligent in your work, you got up so early."
Wu Lai nodded
, slowly raised the bronze sword in his hand, and asked, "Everyone, do you know this sword?" The four of them looked at each other, and said that the shape of this bronze sword is very ordinary, and there is no pattern engraving, and there is no special decoration, how can people tell the difference
?"Don't you know? Henry, don't you know either?" Woolley's gaze fell on Henry.
Henry's heart trembled, for some reason, he always felt that Woolley's gaze was terrifying, clearly emotionless, but like a sharp blade, piercing your heart.
"Lord Woolley, I really don't recognize it. After Henry had settled down, he shook his head firmly, but he had discussed with everyone last night, and he was lukewarm to this new adult, neither refuting him nor pandering to him.
"Are you embarrassed to say such a thing?!" Wu Lai's voice suddenly exploded, and the people in the courtyard were immediately startled, and Guru, who had just walked into the courtyard, was naturally no exception, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said in his heart, Wu Lai, can you not be so surprised?
"I took this sword from the evidence chest of you, the tribune. Woolly said word by word.
"Lord Woolley, I remembered that this sword was the murder weapon used to assassinate a certain Archon. Henry hurriedly said, there was only this one thing in his evidence cabinet, and when Woolley said this, where could he not know what was going on.
"Well, I'm not stupid at home. Woolley smiled coldly and asked, "Who is the murderer? Did you catch it?"
Henry was shocked and quickly shook his head.
"What do you mean by shaking your head? I don't know who the murderer is? There is nowhere to arrest him? Or, are you unwilling to arrest the murderer?" Woolley's successive words suddenly made Henry panic and confused, he originally thought that even if Woolley wanted to embarrass him today, he would start with ordnance and soldier training, but he didn't expect Woolley to ask about the murder as soon as he came up.
"This ......" Henry didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how much the bronze sword had to do with the murder, but he knew that the cause of the previous consul's death would never have been a burglar - that's what the report to Luvington wrote.
Wu Lai snorted coldly, and Mu Sweep swept the people in the courtyard: "Everyone, I slept in horror last night, I was really worried that I would be like my predecessor, I was wiped on my neck by a little thief who sneaked in to steal property, after thinking about it all night, I felt that the dignified consul was stabbed to death in his own land, which can only mean one thing, that is, the tribune did not fulfill his responsibility!"
Henry was shocked, and the other three immediately looked at each other, saying that this Woolley Glyndo is about to start?
"However, I am not here today to hold accountable. Woolley's gaze fell on Henry's face, and the words changed, and his tone softened abruptly, "I, Woolley Greendo, since I have come to this salt marsh town to work with you, in all fairness, I hope to get along with everyone, of course, this is just one of my wishes, whether it can be realized in the end, in fact, it depends on you, but I will not compromise because of this wish, and I will forget my responsibility and original intention."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Woolleglindo, have set two tasks for myself, and for all the people in this consul's mansion, that must be met at this time. Woolley's gaze swept over everyone one by one, "First, clean up the salt marsh town, and second, arrest the murderer, because only a peaceful salt marsh town is qualified to develop and grow."
Woolley looked at Henry again: "Tribune Henry, you have to be busy this time, I went around yesterday, there are scoundrels and thieves everywhere in the town, there are two merchants from other city-states who have returned their money bags, the land here in Salt Marsh Town is barren and there is a lack of materials, and even food is not self-sufficient, let these troublemakers run amok, do those merchants who sell grain and cloth to Salmarsh Town dare to come?" So, I'll give you three days to get all these guys clean up for me, and remember that only light violence is allowed, and don't kill or maim me, can you do it?"
Henry hesitated, nodded and cursed the three guys next to him, and said in his heart, "Henry,
you are busy. With a wave of his hand, Woolley's gaze flickered on Baker's face for a moment, and he turned back and nodded at Gruul.
"Treasurer Baker, please move. Gruul smiled and said, "Come and accept the payment."
"Okay. Baker squinted, nodded at Woolley, and without saying much, went straight to Gruul.
Henry walked away helplessly, Baker happily counted the money, and the rest of Hubble and Turce looked at each other, both frowning slightly.
This routine is not right-the two of them thought of it in unison, but what was wrong, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.
Just thinking about it, Wu Lai got up and walked in front of the two, suddenly smiled slightly, and said to Tours: "Tours, the salt industry is the lifeblood of the salt marsh town, you see, there is a large area of saline-alkali land and stone mountains around this town, and it can't grow decent crops, the salt production is low, and the life of the townspeople is tight, we are not here to make everyone hungry and clothed, you, the salt industry official, have to work hard."
Turce was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, Are you teaching me a lesson? But as soon as this thought came to mind, Woolley's next words made him change his mind: "I don't understand the matter of salt production, and I don't want to ask too much, and it will all depend on you in this matter in the future, but tomorrow I want to go to the salt field to have a look, and I will trouble you to lead the way."
As soon as he heard Woolley's politeness, Turce also felt that it was difficult to refuse, and nodded while thinking that it should be his cousin Job's role: "This is no problem."
"Then it's a word. Woolley smiled and turned his face to Hubble.
Hubble subconsciously held his breath and waited.
Unexpectedly, Woolley showed a surprised expression: "Hubble, what do you mean by holding your chest and belly together? Are you wary of me?" Hubble
was stunned, quite confused, and said that this change was too fast, right, and he had a good chat with Tours a moment ago?"
"Enough, don't stand here and be an eyesore, just do whatever you need to do." Woolley glanced at Hubble impatiently, then turned and beckoned to Lauren, who was sweeping the floor on the side porch and peeking in.
"Go, call all the attendants and servants of this place to the courtyard, and call me when they are assembled, and I will speak. Woolley commanded as he walked into the building.
"Yes, Lord Woolley. Lauren nodded hurriedly.
was scolded by Woolley for no reason, Hubble's old face was a little unbearable, he was angry, he felt a little inappropriate, he didn't come out with some attitude, and he was afraid that Woolley would get worse in the future, and he was entangled, Tours on the side patted him on the shoulder, lowered his voice and said: "Don't go to heart, it's not a big deal."
Hubble barely managed to squeeze out a smile, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Woolledindo, you humiliated me, and I will give it back to you sooner or later.
Meanwhile, in a room of the mansion, Guru sat smiling, with eight open sheepskin bags at his feet, the opening of which was wide open, revealing gold coins that shone yellow.
Baker sat on another chair, face to face with Gruul, but not as calm as Gruul, with his temperament, seeing money open-eyed, money-hungry, next to money, it was difficult to sit still, had to grab a handful to feel happy, but came in for a while, Guru did not call the start of the count, so that his "money addict" heart like a cat scratching.
Gruul saw that it was almost over, so he slowly opened his mouth: "Baker Treasurer, Witchey Archon said a sentence, I personally think it is very reasonable, he said, Qianli is an official only for money, Baker Treasurer, what do you think of this sentence?"
"I also think it makes a lot of sense. Baker replied quickly.
"That's good, by the way, can you keep your mouth shut from talking nonsense?" asked Gruul with a smile.
"Of course, I'm the tightest of my mouths. Baker was happy, in this situation, I am afraid that Woolley wants to include him in the category of his own people, although befriending Woolley is obviously against the will of the masters of Lunvington City, but Woolley Greendo is not a small person, in the past few years, he has made a lot of money by making new things, and even the agents of his goods have made a lot of money, if he can get his support, it is definitely much more affordable than being this financial officer.
Gruul nodded and said, "That's good, let's make it clear, Archon Woolley wants to do a great job in Salt Marsh Town, if you want to do a big thing, then you need to spend more money, this time it was not easy to get these eight thousand five hundred gold coins from Chief Connor, if you want to get more, you have to find a way to spend the money first, Archon Woolley thinks it's ............"
Baker listened and nodded again and again, his face was happy for a while, and he frowned for a while
......
Lauren quickly gathered people, Tours was worried about Woolley's going to the salt pan tomorrow, worried that something would go wrong, so he left the mansion to find his henchmen, Hubble was made by Woolley, and he was afraid that Woolley would find fault with him, so he simply slipped back into his office, closed the door and closed his eyes.
When more than twenty or thirty attendants, handymen, and cooks in the mansion were all standing in the courtyard, Lauren respectfully invited Woolley out.
Seeing that the formation in the courtyard was still neat, and he could still say hello in unison when he came over, Woolley nodded with satisfaction and praised Lauren: "It's not bad to come back from the legion."
Lauren didn't even dare to say anything, Woolley smiled slightly, walked to the steps and stood still, swept his eyes over everyone, and raised his voice: "It's quite good today, what happened
yesterday?" No one dared to say anything, the day before yesterday, the civil official hurriedly gave everyone a holiday, saying that he wanted everyone to rest for a few days, and last night he hurriedly came to inform him that he must get it today, and this release is obviously related to the young consul in front of him, but where does anyone dare to say these ways.
"I won't ask. "I arrived yesterday, and I had free time in the evening, so I read some records related to the official residence, not to mention the far away, the year before last, the bandits attacked the official residence twice, and one of the attendants and a miscellaneous servant died in the line of duty, last year, the bandits attacked the official residence three times, and killed two miscellaneous servants and a cook, and at the beginning of this year, the consul was assassinated, and there were two attendants who died with him, do you hear anything?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't hear it, let me tell you, every time a bandit attacks the mansion, someone dies, or an attendant, or a handyman, or a cook, and besides, every year there are bandits coming, which is very strange. Wu Lai narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming more and more solemn, "So, I feel that I have an obligation to remind you that it is not easy to make a living in the official residence, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life." "
None of the attendants thought Woolley was alarmist, because what Woolley had just said was the truth.
"Who wants to die in the next bandit attack and raise their hand to show me?" Woolley said.
Everyone subconsciously thought that Woolley was joking, but when they were about to laugh, they found that Woolley's expression was still terrifying.
"Okay, since no one wants to die, then, you have to remember, Salt Marsh Town, I have the final say, listen to me, follow me, I guarantee your safety, otherwise, the next time the bandits come, I will throw you out first." Wu Lai said coldly, brushed his sleeves and turned ......
It was night, the moonlight was cold, and Woolley sat in front of the window looking at the moon, accompanied by Gruul.
"Wu Lai, on the way, you said that there is a custom in a certain place called the three fires for new officials to take office, I see, in the past two days, you have been burning the fire. Guru said with a smile.
"What else did I do?" asked Woolley with a grin.
Guru smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's useless to deny it, according to your usual saying, you just crackled and slapped people in the face as soon as you came, and you also cut a few big gaps in other people's small balls, saying, what do you want?" "
Of course, it's for the interests of Salt Marsh Town, by the way, and the interests of you and me." Wu Lai smiled and pointed in the direction of the salt pond, "Over there, there is an amazing reserve of saltpeter, and I want to mine it."
"What's the use of that?" asked Gruul curiously.
"In the future, I'll let you know, it's not a rush now, what needs to be done now is to clean up these guys, and clean up and green the salt marsh town. Woolley said.
"Greenery?" Guru's eyes widened, and he said to himself, what kind of routine is this?
