Chapter 55 Manor Code (5K)

The farmhouse area of ​​the manor is located in the northwest corner of the manor. At this time, a group of farmers are surrounding the door of a farmhouse.

Inside the farmhouse, the young first-order knight Jerry was standing there at a loss.

Lying on the ground was a middle-aged man in a linen shirt. His body was stiff and motionless, and blood was still oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Next to the middle-aged man lay a girl.Her clothes were disheveled and her hair looked very messy. She kept stroking the middle-aged man's cheek, weeping, and calling for her father to wake up.

Seeing more and more people gathering, Jerry became more and more anxious, stepped forward, kicked the middle-aged man on the back, and said, "Get up, get up quickly, you son of a bitch!" Yes. What to wear?"

The onlookers saw that Jerry was still being violent, and they were a little furious. Several people rushed into the farmhouse to stop Jerry.

Jerry clenched his fists, stood up with his chest out, and shouted, "What do you want to do? I'm a knight. I'm not afraid of death. Come here and try me?"

Seeing Jerry's ferocious expression, everyone was taken aback for a moment and stopped in their tracks.

A stooped old man squeezed in from the crowd. Seeing this scene, he quickly bent down to check the middle-aged man's injuries.

After realizing that his heartbeat had stopped, the old man stood up tremblingly, staring straight at Jerry.

Jerry was a little hairy from the old man's stare, and he couldn't help taking a step back: "Old guy, I didn't mean it, I just pushed him, and he became like this."

The old man didn't speak, but his eyes were full of loneliness and helplessness.He sighed slightly, lowered his body and began to arrange the girl's hair and clothes slowly.

"Mayor, he wanted to rape me and killed my father." The girl hugged the old man, buried her head in his shoulder, and cried loudly.

The old man patted her head lightly, and said softly, "Good boy, don't cry. I am not the mayor of the town anymore, we are all farmers of Sardin Manor now."

"Will Lord Sardin uphold justice for us?" the girl asked sobbingly.

The old man's face froze and he fell into silence.

His name is Pope Jacob, and he was originally the mayor of Shaker Town.

After Shaker Town suffered a bloody massacre by Marquis Arnold, the old mayor failed to sue, but was assassinated instead.So Pope Jacob took over as mayor.

In the next few years, the iron mines were gradually dried up, and Marquis Arnold left the town behind. The residents of the town were just about to see the sky again, but they were constantly bullied by Baron Nora.

Pope Jacob couldn't resist, and knowing that it was useless to go to the city hall to sue, he had to accept it and deal with it carefully.Over the years, the women in Shaker Town don't know how much they have been ruined by Baron Nora.

Finally, Lomo gave them the chance to get their revenge and escape Baron Nora's shadow.

After that, Pope Jacob was afraid that he would be oppressed by other nobles again, and saw that the livelihood of the townspeople was dwindling and unsustainable, so he simply brought most of the people to Sardin Manor.

What he originally thought was that under the protection of this powerful and kind Lord Sardin, the townspeople would live a good life.

As he expected, the housekeeper Barron distributed a lot of food and seeds to them, and also designated a piece of land for them to open up wasteland.

Pope has been discussing the planting of herbs and food with Barron these days, and plans to lead the townspeople to build a new canal.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction.

But I didn't expect that such bullying incidents would still happen.

Seeing the young knight in front of him being so domineering, Pope felt chilled, but he was helpless.

Jerry is a member of the Manor Cavaliers. They are strong and treated superbly, so how can they put the farmers in their eyes?

Even if it goes to Lord Sardin, it is impossible for the Lord to punish his knight for a small farmer.

Thinking of this, Pope sighed. The only thing he can do now is to persuade the girl to live strong.

As long as you can survive, you can suffer some humiliation.
As long as you can survive.

The girl cried for a while in Pope's arms, seeing that Pope didn't answer, she asked again: "Mayor, will Master Sardin uphold justice for us?"

"I don't know. Son, don't be too sad, your father." Pop tried to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak.

Seeing Pope's hesitant expression, the girl already understood something in her heart.

She wiped away her tears, stood up, stroked the wrinkled corners of her clothes, and said softly, "My father... he's still waiting for me."

As she said that, she broke free from Pope with all her strength, rushed forward, and hit the iron rake on the wall directly.

With a 'bang', the girl's forehead hit the rake's point heavily, and then fell to the ground, and the blood gushed out immediately stained her pretty face red.

The crowd exploded in an uproar.Pope's heart trembled, and he hurried forward, picked up the girl, tore off his skirt, and covered her wound with all his strength.

"Go to Dr. Sandy!"

Everyone yelled loudly.

Two strong women rushed forward, took the blood-stained girl from Pope's arms, and rushed out of the crowd.

Jerry stood aside, slightly relieved to see that everyone's attention was on the girl.

He was just about to find an opportunity to escape when he suddenly heard a noise from outside.

"Get out of the way, the lord is coming!"

When the crowd heard this, they scattered all of a sudden, giving way to a path.

Lomo strolled in along this road, followed by Barron and Nicholas.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he first squatted down to observe the middle-aged man's wound, and then took his breath.

After confirming that the middle-aged man was dead, Luomo stood up with a livid face, and asked Pope beside him, "Pop, is this the townsman you brought?"

Pope bowed slightly to Luo Mo, respectfully said: "Yes, Lord Sardin."

"What is your name?"

"Leonard, my lord."

Luomo nodded, and turned his gaze to Nicholas behind him: "Nicholas, you led the militia, and you are also responsible for the selection of knights. Before the selection, did you teach them the rules of Sardin Manor?"

Feeling Luomo's coercive gaze, Nicholas' lips felt dry for a moment.He couldn't help swallowing, and said, "I've already taught it, my lord."

"Okay, then follow the rules." Luomo said.

Jerry noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, scratched his head, smiled along with him, bowed and said, "My lord, I was wrong. The girl in this family is so beautiful that I can't help myself. But I swear I really didn't think about it." Killing her father. The main reason is that her father was a little careless, so I just punched him twice and pushed him, and he decided that I was willing to accept the punishment, my lord. I will not dare to do it again next time."

"Punishment?" Luomo gave the young man who had just been promoted to a knight a cold look, then turned to Nicholas and said, "Tell everyone, how rape and homicide are punished in the manor's code."

Nicholas cleared his throat and said loudly to everyone: "Manor Code No. 13: Those who commit rape will be castrated and their hands will be cut off; those who commit murder will be hanged. Today Jerry Howard committed two crimes. He should be castrated first, his hands cut off, and then hanged.”

When everyone heard this, they stared at Luo Mo blankly.They had observed the situation and realized that Luo Mo would punish Jerry, but they did not expect that the punishment would be so severe.

Pope was also stunned for a moment.It turns out that the provisions in the manor's rules are also aimed at knights?
One must know that Master Sardin spent a lot of money to train these knights, would he really kill his knights for the sake of a farmer?
Pope suddenly had a feeling in his heart that the lord really regarded the commoners as human beings, not tools for labor.

Jerry looked at Luo Mo blankly, he was in a trance, and extreme fear filled his heart.

With a 'plop', Jerry knelt on the ground, kowtowed desperately to Luomo and said, "My lord, I was wrong. Please, please spare my life! I have just been promoted to a first-order knight, and I really don't want to die. Please My lord, spare my life. Spare me. Spare me."

Lomo ignored Jerry's pleading. He walked out of the farmhouse and said loudly to everyone: "Listen everyone, I personally issued the Manor Code, and every word on it represents my own wishes. Those who violate the code , regard it as a disobedience to myself, and I will never forgive it lightly!"

Everyone looked at Luo Mo, who was full of majesty and inviolability, and half knelt in the tunnel together: "Obey! My lord!"

"Get up, don't kneel!" Luo Mo waved his hand and said, "There is no such thing as bowing to me in the rules."

"Yes, my lord!" Everyone knelt down to Luomo again, and then stood up together.

Luo Mo turned around and said to Nicholas: "Prepare the gallows, let's execute."

"Obey, my lord!" Nicholas immediately stepped forward, dragging Jerry, who was already limp on the ground, to the outside of the crowd.

The haze on Luomo's face dissipated, and he asked Pope softly, "Where's his daughter?"

When Pope heard this question, the muscles on his cheeks trembled slightly, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and he burst into tears for a while.

"Why are you crying?" Luo Mo was a little puzzled: "Dissatisfied with my punishment?"

"No, my lord." Pope's expression was agitated at the moment. He wiped away the tears in the wrinkles and gullies, and said in a sad tone: "His daughter Jasmine just asked me if the lord will uphold justice. I regret not giving her affirmation." The answer. The child couldn't think about it for a while, and bumped into the iron rake."

"Huh?" Luo Mo was a little shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "How is she now?"

"It has been sent to Dr. Sandy." Someone replied.

Luomo was silent for a while, and said to Barron beside him, "Tell Sandy to do everything possible to save the girl. Also, bury Leonard properly."

"Understood, my lord." Barron got the order, hurried out of the crowd, and conveyed Lomo's order to Sandy.

The gallows was quickly pulled to the center of the square, and everyone put down their work to watch Jerry's execution.

Luo Mo also stood in the distance, silently watching the execution process.

This execution is aimed at all the people in the manor.

With the growing population of the manor, he must establish a strict and orderly social order.

Only in this way can the stability of the manor be maintained and everyone's sense of belonging and security enhanced.

This is the guarantee for people to live and work in peace and contentment, and it can also be more inspiring, so that the whole manor will be more cohesive and centripetal.

At the same time, let those knights who have obtained high-quality resources know that after obtaining the corresponding privileges, there will also be corresponding restrictions and prohibitions.

Only by order and prohibition can a strong army be created.

He wants to ensure that everyone must obey him and obey his principles.

Those who disobey will end up like this Jerry.As long as the rules are broken, no matter how fast his promotion speed is, he will never show mercy to his subordinates.

In front of the execution platform, the farmers saw Jerry being castrated with a knife, and then cut off his hands. They immediately let out loud cheers, which almost drowned out Jerry's screams.

The knights standing next to them gloated and booed along with the farmers, while some looked worried, wondering whether they had underestimated these rules.

Some even secretly made up their minds that they must memorize these rules thoroughly in the future.

After all, they went through hard training and were finally promoted to knights. They must not lose their bright future because of some unnecessary mistakes.

Nicholas, who presided over the execution, was also very disturbed.Just now Luomo looked at him, obviously blaming him for not telling the knights the importance of the rules.

With awe in his heart, he secretly decided that he must not slack off in this aspect of education in the future, otherwise the adults might remove him as an instructor.

Two hours later, the execution finally came to an end.Jerry's body was to be hung on the gallows for three days and three nights.

Everyone left one after another, discussing the details of the execution with excitement.It's like watching a wonderful and exciting show.

Luo Mo took Barron into the hospital, he wanted to see if the girl who was bullied had been rescued.

On the hospital bed, the bearded Sandy was still doing his best to treat him. When he saw Luo Mo coming, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"What's the matter?" Lomo asked.

Sandy shook his head helplessly, and said with a terrified expression: "My lord, this girl hit her very firmly. Although the bleeding has stopped, the wound is a bit deep, and she is still unconscious."

Luo Mo nodded slightly, signaling to Sandy not to panic, and said softly: "You do your best to treat it, and don't feel pressured. I won't blame you if it can't be cured."

"Yes, my lord." Sandy suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Mo glanced at the girl, and when he was about to leave, a man and a woman suddenly walked in from outside.

The man is of middle age, tall and tall, and looks a little refined, but he is a little too thin, even his cheeks are sunken, and he can be said to be as skinny as a stick.

The girl next to her looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was also very thin and frail.She was dressed in the uniform of the manor and wore a cloak on her head, covering most of her face.

She hid behind the man, bowed her back, looked a little shy, but her eyes were very beautiful.Under the long eyelashes, the pure black eyes look shiny and moving.

"My lord." The man walked to the bed, pulled the girl and bowed to Luomo.

Barron on the side hurriedly whispered to Luomo: "The two of them are refugees who have defected from the north. They have been in the manor for more than a month."

"Oh." Luo Mo nodded and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"The girl behind me can cure diseases, so I want to try it." The man said.

Dr. Sandy at the side heard this, and immediately said with disdain: "You said you can cure diseases, I still believe it. What does such a young girl know?"

The young girl walked out from behind her father, raised her hands, and gestured towards Luomo a few times.

"Still a mute?" Dr. Sandy was even more stunned.

"What is she talking about?" Barron also asked with some doubts.

The man was silent for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he said in a deep voice, "She said she is a demonized person who has mastered some natural magic."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The principle of demonized people is the same as those of demonized beasts, because of some adventures or other special reasons, they accidentally communicated with other planes, and then mastered some special magic.

This kind of person is one in a million, extremely rare.

But because it was acquired by accident, these people sometimes lose control of their magic and become very dangerous.

Hearing this, Baron immediately took a step forward, subconsciously protecting Luo Mo behind him, and said sharply, "Then why are you talking now?"

As an old man in his sixties, he had heard too many legends about demonized people killing and hurting people since he was a child. The girl in front of him was like a magic bomb that could be detonated at any time.

When the girl in the cloak heard Barron's question, she raised her hands again and gestured.

Everyone couldn't understand, so they had to look at the man in front of her.

The man slowly said: "Please rest assured, my lord. She has never lost control since she obtained magic. She could have kept hiding. But now she thinks that Master Sardin is a good person, and this girl is Her good friend. So she was willing to try."
