Our family is in decline

"As for you who have done well, your salary will be increased by 30%. If you work hard in the future, you will be promoted first."

Lance looked at the few people who had not been reported in the chaos just now. He could only say that they were loyal and not greedy. They could be rewarded no matter what. Then we would see how their abilities would be promoted first.

Those people finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and could only be grateful that they had strengthened their will just now.

And those who work hard feel the rewards of their persistence along the way.

"You go take care of their affairs, and then arrange for my people to eat and rest."

Seeing the man in front of him, whose name he didn't even know, he could only use thunderous means to control the entire business group in a short period of time, expose the conspiracy, and in the last few words, he pulled the person who was standing beside him to his side. there.

Only now did the woman realize that she had unknowingly lost her leadership position, and everyone was more willing to listen to him...including herself.

She realized it, but there was nothing she could do about it. The moment she chose to take advantage of the situation, she had no choice.

"Any questions?"

"No, I'll make arrangements right away." The woman didn't care about other things and quickly brought someone with her to make arrangements.

They took over the affairs of the team, and several of the busy people gathered around Lance.

"Sir, this is illegal." William came up with the dog. He was quite surprised when he just watched that there were so many strange things. He saw it as soon as he left the town.

However, he believed that Lance's use of lynching and restraint of force was inappropriate.

"Are they just?" Lance didn't care and asked with a smile.

"It's certainly unjust for them to do such a thing." William despised the behavior of these people.

"Are they legal?"

"Of course it's illegal."

"So how do you generally deal with this situation?"

"Of course he will be sent to court for trial."

"Then who should be the judge?"

"Of course the judge."

"Who will appoint the judge?"

"The local governor, of course."

"Isn't that right? I am the lord. In my territory, is there anything wrong with me judging them based on their crimes?"

William was stunned for a moment and realized that there seemed to be no problem, but why did he feel that something was wrong?

Lance really wanted to laugh when he saw his reaction. Talking about the legal system in this era is a joke. The fucking empire can't even completely control the internal affairs. Different places have different laws and regulations. Some people are too lazy to just use the empire's rules. On the surface, it is unified with the empire, but in actual operation, the local lords have the final say.

Not to mention that there is the Supreme Emperor's Church, which can directly cross the empire and judge you when it says it will judge you.

But now William's legal concept formed in this environment is actually deformed and unrealistic. It has not been proven in practice and only exists in his personal fantasy.

But Lance couldn't say it directly, at least not now. He had to let him see the situation in the outside world and expand his world view from the small town to the world.

As for finding something for him to do now.

"The small towns outside have been corrupted by cults, and there will definitely be cult strongholds in the city. You and Figs go to the city to find those guys in the next few days. We can't let them hurt ordinary people anymore."

As expected, compared to these, cults are more harmful. After hearing this, William temporarily put aside his doubts and changed his words: "I will go now."

"You see Griffith is tired. Let's have a good rest tonight. It won't be too late to look for him tomorrow."

Lance leaned over and touched the dog's head. After getting to know each other over the past few days, the smart dog was very popular with everyone.

After arranging him, Lance turned around and called Disma and Leonard.

"I have something for you two."

"As you are told, my lord."

"I want you to pick up two people."

Lance said as he took out a simple map, and Leonard looked a little surprised when he saw this, because this was the place to go to his hometown.

"Sir! This..."

"Take it over, it's too chaotic outside now, I'll explain the rest to them."

It was strange that Disma didn't understand what the two were saying, so Lance had no choice but to explain.

"The people we are picking up this time are Leonard's wife and children. Originally I wanted to go with you, but now there is a problem with the business group and I can't get away, so I can only let you two go."

"I didn't tell you earlier." Disma agreed directly without any nonsense, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely bring him back."

"It's not safe on the road. Don't take it lightly. You don't need to worry about anything else. Just make sure everyone comes back safely." Lance couldn't help but give him a slap when he saw his careless attitude.

"Promise to complete the task!" Dismana also became serious.

He and Leonard were the first companions to pledge their allegiance to each other. After many battles, they could give their backs to each other's companions. The friendship between men did not need to be spoken.

Leonard stood aside, not that he didn't want to speak, but he just didn't know what to say.

What have you gained from fighting for the church for more than ten years?

And it’s only been a few days since you’ve been here?

There was a surge of heat in his heart, which made him, a man accustomed to seeing life and death, blush.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back. I said, since you are loyal to me, I will definitely take responsibility for you."

"Why are you keeping a straight face? This is a good thing. It's a pity that you can't go to the brothel with me after my sister-in-law comes~"

"I wasn't going either." Leonard was somewhat speechless, and the emotion that had finally touched him was completely destroyed.

"Hahaha~ Let's go, I left the best carriage for you." Lance smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulders, and activated [Blessing] to eliminate their accumulated fatigue.

Lance watched the carriage drive away and made some calculations in his mind. Leonard's hometown was not far from here. After abandoning the convoy, it would only take three days to go back and forth at the speed of the carriage, but if he kept going day and night, he would probably be able to get back in two days.

And he wanted to take advantage of this time to solve the business group's affairs. He planned to rely on this business group to help him make money in business and collect intelligence at the same time.

After one trip, Lance understood that some things had to be left to professionals.

He can no longer waste time on this. Only the ancestor is his first target, and there must still be distinctions between priorities.

…………

"Are the accounts correct?"

"That's right, what they spit out not only filled the gap in the business group's funds, but also added a large amount."

"Of course~ that's the money they paid for their lives." Lance seemed very casual, after all, he had knocked out all their marrow.

As if thinking of this man's rough methods, the woman couldn't help but asked a little worriedly. "But are we really not afraid of something happening if we do this?"

There are a lot of guys crowded in the station now. If something goes wrong, she will definitely not be able to escape.
