king of the castle

Chapter 257 Proof

No matter where it is, it is a big event. 【】What's more, those mobs rushed into the baron's mansion and looted wantonly, almost burning the whole house down.Such a big event naturally spread quickly in a small place like Kent Town. Not only did the residents know about it, but even the businessmen who came here to do business knew it well.Everyone waited anxiously, not knowing what the final outcome of this matter would be.So when Bonnie conveyed Roger's order for everyone to gather in the square in the town, it didn't take long for the place to be full of people.

As Roger had commanded, everyone in Kent came, not even the little ones.After several months of development, plus the businessmen who came here to do business, the population of the town has doubled compared to when Roger first came here.Thousands of people gathered in the square and its surroundings, but no one dared to speak casually. The originally lively square was completely silent at this moment.

The more than 100 participants were all tied up firmly, and stood dejectedly at one end of the square.Behind them was a group of heavily armed longsword warriors. Although these warriors just stood there with their hands on the hilts of their swords without saying a word, the killing intent emanating from their bodies made all the mob shudder.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Roger came to the square slowly, first looked around coldly, glanced at everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm very disappointed!"

The lord spoke, and the others were even more afraid to speak, and they all held their breath to listen to what Roger had to say.Over the quiet square, only Roger's voice echoed.

"Since I came to Kent, is there anything that is not for everyone's sake?" Roger continued unhurriedly: "I executed the greedy tax collectors, eliminated the horse thieves who did evil in the territory; Taxation, let this town flourish again; I arrange jobs for everyone, so that you can have a stable income; I buy food from other places at high prices, and then sell it to you at the cheapest price, so that everyone As for starvation; I even wiped out the murlocs on the seashore at all costs, so that the fishermen can fish in the sea safely! Tell me, which other lord would be so considerate of the people in his territory and willing to give up so much of his own interests? Feeding you?!"

Roger was talking all about what he did when he came to Kent.For any lord, as long as he can do one of these things, it is enough to make the residents of the territory grateful to him.But Roger did all of these things, and now he said one by one, even the mob showed shame, and many people couldn't help but bow their heads.

"But how did you repay me?" Roger changed his tone, and suddenly raised his voice: "! You actually used the most intolerable way for a lord to repay me! How did you destroy my mansion? This is a Is this the reward that a lord who wholeheartedly cares about the people in his territory deserves?!"

Roger's words made other townspeople also look ashamed.Although they didn't participate, they still knew some rumors beforehand.However, because of Renault's swear words, many townspeople doubted Roger, so no one informed their lord beforehand.

After Roger had said so many words in one breath, the townspeople remembered all the good things he had done.This made many people feel guilty, thinking that the lord who is known as "benevolent" would rather let everyone starve to death than let everyone leave the town. What that fellow Renault said seemed a bit too sensational.

Just as Roger spoke loudly, Reynolds who was knocked out slowly came to life.After regaining his sanity, he was taken aback by the situation before him, and soon realized that his carefully planned plot had failed again.Of course, Renault knew what such a failure meant. Unwilling to perish, his eyeballs rolled around, and when Roger's words just fell, he suddenly shouted: "You liar! There is not much food in the warehouse in the town. Everyone will be hungry in less than five days, if you don't let everyone leave the town, you are forcing everyone to die!"

Renault knew very well that if he didn't seize this last opportunity to incite other people's hostility towards Roger, he would definitely be suspicious.So at this time, he also went all out, and he didn't have the slightest respect for Roger in language.

It has to be said that the vast majority of people are not assertive.Many people just thought that Roger was a good lord, but after hearing what Renault said, they became suspicious of Roger.Many people looked at Roger with flickering eyes, and they didn't know what thoughts were spinning in their hearts.

Roger knew from the expressions of these people that they still had doubts about him, which made him very annoyed, and immediately said in his heart: "In this case, let's get rid of all the guys who dare to doubt me at once, so as to avoid the same thing from happening again. thing!"

Although Roger's decision was a bit cruel, it was tantamount to cutting off the livelihood of those who doubted him in Kent.But for Roger, he would rather do something cruel to prevent the same thing from happening again than to make others question his authority again and again.

Thinking of this, Roger smiled evilly, and suddenly raised his voice: "I know, some of you still believe in Renault's words, well, I will give everyone a chance. Anyone who thinks that staying in Kent Town will starve to death will stand up!" Come forward, and I will let you leave safely!"

Roger's words were beyond everyone's expectations. Although those who believed in Renault were eager to try, they were more worried that what Roger said was ironic, so they still hesitated to stand up.

Luo Jie highlighted the scruples of these people, and immediately continued: "I, Roger Lee, swear to the Supreme God that anyone who did not participate will be able to leave Kent freely if they want to leave. I will definitely not use any means to stop you, the only one The only condition is that those who decide to leave shall never set foot on Kentish soil in the future, otherwise they will be regarded as robbers and hanged!"

Seeing Roger swear to the Supreme God in public, people naturally no longer doubted his words.Although he decided to leave and never come back, this condition is reasonable, at least much more reasonable than other lord generals.

With Roger's guarantee, some people soon stepped forward one after another.Most of these people came to Kent Town recently. They came here just to make a living. Since they believed that there was no more food in this town, they naturally didn't want to stay any longer.

And the others have either been living in Kent Town and cannot leave their homeland, or they are very optimistic about the future of this emerging town.Although these people were also afraid of a famine, they finally decided to stay out of trust in the lord.

"Very good, you are free!" More than 200 people standing up Roger said coldly: "But wait for a while, I want to give you something."

When the townspeople who decided to leave were in doubt, Roger raised his voice and said: "While everyone is here, I will let everyone open the warehouse to prove whether it is what Renault said, there are no more people in the town. Food!"

As soon as Roger finished speaking, Bonnie led a few people to open the warehouse door on the side of the square.As the gate was slowly opened, everyone gasped, and cheers erupted in the square immediately.
