Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Three days later, Harvey held a public trial meeting at the Bell Tower Square in Fengyuan City as promised.

In order to explain to the people the unpredictable war they experienced, Harvey arranged in advance that the municipal management personnel who came to take over from the north would publicize the incidents of Duke Ralph and his family invading the neighboring lords for no reason in the city. On the one hand, he ordered the secret police to spread news in the city, so that the residents of the city knew that he, the border lord who currently occupied Fengyuan City, was the city that took over under the legal banner of "self-defense counterattack".

The huge square rang at noon, but fewer people gathered here than they thought. Although Fengyuan City is much warmer than the northern part of the country, the coldness that has not yet begun and the thin clothes of local people are generally It still hindered the idea of ​​a large number of them coming to attend the meeting.

But as long as someone comes, Harvey believes that as time goes by, the way people pass by word of mouth is more effective than letting him go door to door to door.

"Good noon in Fengyuan City!" Harvey climbed the temporary high platform and looked around the people below, "I am Harvey Floyd, the lord of the North. Most of you probably haven't heard of it before." My name."

A secret policeman disguised as an ordinary citizen suddenly said loudly, "I know you, dear lord! You are the lord master who took in the border areas for treating sick refugees when the corruption epidemic spreads in the royal capital!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people who had experienced the terrible plague personally discussed in a low voice, "The disease medicine secretly sold in the underground black market in Fengyuan City is rumored to be the work of this lord. The Duke, regardless of our life or death, was the neighboring lord who sent the medicine to the city… Hey, and the price was very low and almost everyone could afford it.”

At the beginning, the secret sale of epidemic medicines to the surrounding areas was mainly to resist the spread of the plague, and at the same time it could also achieve a considerable "export revenue generation", but it is just right now to package it to protect the people.

Harvey waved his hand and continued, "First of all, I apologize and condolences for the innocent people who suffered personal and u property losses during this battle with Duke Ralph... This is a battle from the royal capital of Jinhui City In order to hold the church's thigh, Grand Duke St. Valen insisted on intervening in the conflict with the Federation's spellcaster. For this reason, he instructed Duke Ralph to challenge me repeatedly, not only to seize my caravan and plunder my leader The people and sent troops to invade my territory... In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I decided to lead the army to fight back."

Harvey did not intend to explain the truth in this regard too deeply. Compared to his serious public speech, the general public prefers the "good news" and "secret rumors" they have heard in private, and that Some of the news channels are just the "propaganda track" that secret police are good at running.

Soon Harvey shifted the topic to the highlight of the trial of aristocratic crimes.

"During this war turmoil, all the nobles captured by me have been interrogated privately and have admitted some shameless crimes... This not only includes the disputes with me, but also their past confrontation with innocent people in Fengyuan City. Felony committed."

As soon as the words were finished, the atmosphere in the crowd became much more enthusiastic. Although he did not dare to openly stand up and accused the nobles, watching the nobles who were arrogant in the past be tried and sentenced should be the most popular thing for the people at the bottom of this world.

Harvey handed this part directly to Commander Pierce and the relevant responsible personnel sent by the Pioneer Leader Police Department, and he also sat on the high platform to serve as an audience member.

The result of the interrogation was long ago finalized. Duke Ralph's loyal factions were pulled up to the platform one by one, and they fell to their knees in front of the people. Behind them were the soldiers of the North Frontier with cold faces. Pierce stood at Alchemy Amplification Their crimes were loudly declared in front of the instrument - from invading neighboring lords for no reason, to condoning soldiers to plunder the people, to plundering and plundering the people, it is simply a textbook sample for the nobles in this era to oppress and harm ordinary people.

Under Pierce's superb interrogation skills, there are even unbearable nobles who are not punished and even the deeds of forcing a woman to rob a woman in a certain year, month and day, maliciously snatching a price to buy high-quality fur in the hands of the people, and making money in a store for many years. He vomited out in every detail.

After the soldiers were slapped in a neat manner and shot the first group of nobles who committed "felony crimes" directly on the square, the people finally believed that the foreign lord on the platform was really planning to sentence the nobles, and by the way, They were fair.

"I... I want to report and expose Baron Louis's crime! He... When he was plowing this spring, he repeatedly raised the labor tax on the territory. We had to sell the accumulated wheat seeds as taxes, and finally the fields were connected. No seeds can be sown!”

"I want to accuse too! Sir Andrew, yes! He is the deputy captain of the Duke of Ralph. In order to expand his mansion in Fengyuan City, he invaded the houses of our surrounding people for no reason and demolished us to shelter from the wind and rain. The house was not compensated for!”

"I want to..."

Under the deliberate guidance of man, more and more people began to pluck up the courage to stand up and accus the nobles. Among the more than 70 people who were tried in the final trial, more than a dozen of the Duke-born nobles who were more serious were sentenced to death and executed in public. The little nobles who the people firmly exposed were detained, depending on the severity of the crime, and were detained separately, waiting to be taken back to the northern border to pioneer territory. The mines and forest farms there urgently needed such high-quality free labor.

After the "stick" show, it's time for the "carrot" to come on stage.

Harvey stood next to the loudspeaker on the platform again, cleared his throat, and ignored the bloody execution scene on one side of the stage. "I know that there were a lot of turmoil in Fengyuan City during this battle. Some thugs took advantage of the fire to loot, causing dozens of houses to be burned down... Of course, my army also blew up many people's houses during the battle, and the battle conflict also caused the deaths of more than 30 civilians."

His tone turned low, and he stroked his chest and bowed slightly to the people below the stage. "Here, as a border lord, I apologize to the people of Fengyuan City. The harm caused by the war to you is beyond my control, and I feel guilty about it!"

Harvey's words caused another commotion among the people. No one had ever seen a noble lord bowing to apologize to the people. In this purely feudal country with clear hierarchy, this scene was simply unheard of and unseen. Many people were shocked and stunned.

But Harvey's next words were beyond their wildest dreams.

"No matter what, you must be compensated for the damage and losses you suffered!" Harvey took a notice from the guards behind him and read it out in person. "The families of innocent people who died in the war will receive a one-time pension of 15 gold pounds. Those whose houses were damaged... will be repaired free of charge within March. Of course, they can also choose to redeem the money and buy another house."

As for other people whose property was damaged or injured by mistake, the Fengyuan City Hall, which is about to be established, will naturally be responsible for verifying compensation and free treatment.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

Soon, soldiers came up to the stage carrying heavy wooden boxes filled with coins and began to distribute pensions and loss compensation according to the compensation list. Seeing that the border lord was going to pay money on the spot, it was not a false promise at all. The atmosphere immediately became heated, and cheers began to rise one after another. More people followed suit and surrounded the square.

Secret police 088 stood behind Harvey and whispered, "Sir, why don't you move the people of Fengyuan City back to the north? We are very short of fresh labor right now..."

Harvey chuckled and shook his head without answering.

Fengyuan City has a population of more than 10,000, and he really has not thought of migrating the local people - the terrain here is a platform and is located in the central part of the principality. If it is managed properly, it will also be a "high-quality granary" that can produce a large amount of food in the future. If the foreign enemies in the north really invade the wasteland, maybe this place will become Harvey's "strategic rear base" in the future.
