Chapter 1300 Sowing Discord
"Losov, what do you mean?"
Benev frowned and glanced at the blond man.
This blond man is Benev's secretary and minister behind the scenes. If Benev encounters some difficult things, he will often ask Losov for advice.
In ancient China, this status was like being the master of the county government.
At this time, Benev was furious and wanted to use troops against his Taft family immediately.
But Losov's words were like a mountain trying to suppress his anger, which made Benev very unhappy.
"Lord Benev, please don't let your anger overwhelm your mind!"
Losov glanced at the herdsmen on the ground, with disdain in his eyes:
"You untouchable, you dare to sow discord between Benev and the Taft family, you deserve to die! Come on, put him in a dark cell!"
Losov ordered, and two guards immediately came forward.
"Ah!! What does this mean?!!"
The herdsman knelt on the ground and was instantly frightened. He immediately kowtowed and cried:
"I did not sow discord between Benev and the Taft family!"
"Master Benev, I came here just because I want you to help me make the decision!!"
"Lord Benev, even if you give me ten courages, I wouldn't dare to provoke a relationship between you and the Taft family, don't you think so?"
"In front of you and the Taft family, I am just a little ant, Lord Benev!"
"How could I do such a thing to seek death!!"
The herdsmen kept kowtowing until their foreheads bled.
The two guards grabbed the herdsman and prepared to throw him into a dark cell and lock him up.
"etc!"
Benev raised his hand.
The two guards immediately let go and walked back.
"Losov, please explain clearly first. Why do you say that this herdsman is sowing trouble?" Benev looked at Losov.
"Isn't this simple, Lord Benev!"
Losov sighed and said:
"The reason why you can sit firmly in the position of city lord is because of the power of the Taft family?"
"With the power of the Tafu family and his network of connections in Gulou City, it is very simple to want you to not be the city lord!"
"But why the Taft family didn't do this? The reason is very simple. It's because the Taft family regards you as a friend and allows you to continue to sit in the position of city lord."
Benev frowned.
Although Losov's words may sound unpleasant, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
"So, Lord City Lord, what we have to do now is to maintain a stable relationship with the Taft family!"
Losov persuaded and spoke sincerely:
"If the relationship with the Taft family deteriorates, your position as the city lord will not be guaranteed!"
"As soon as this herdsman arrived here, he said that his child's legs were broken by the Taft family. I think he came here to sow discord between you and the Taft family!"
"Lord City Lord, if you and the Taft family stand in front of you, you will be in danger!"
"If you ask me, just put this guy in a dark cell and just treat it as if it didn't happen at all."
"Doing this will be good for you, and it will also be good for the stability of the entire Gulou City!!"
After hearing this, Benev was silent.
What Losov said makes sense.
Being an enemy of the Taft family will do you a lot of harm but nothing good.
But he is the lord of Gulou City.
His own people were treated unfairly in the city, but he was hiding behind them like a shrunken turtle. This made Benev feel uncomfortable in his heart.
"Lord Benev, you will be transferred in another year."
Losov looked at Benev and whispered:
"One year is just a blink of an eye. You have endured it for so many years, and you still have one year left?"
"Just turn a blind eye or close your eyes to this matter."
"Alas! Put this herdsman in prison!"
Benev thought for nearly two minutes, and finally sighed and waved.
In his opinion, at this time, there is really no need to confront the Taft family.
A year later, he was transferred. Now, isn't it good to just hang out?
The guard stepped forward, grabbed the herdsman's arm, and walked towards the black cell.
"What an injustice!"
"Lord Benev, I was wronged!!!"
"Lord Benev, why don't you make the decision for me!!"
The herdsmen shouted, but to no avail, and their voices gradually disappeared.
"Lord Benev, the guy named Lin Fan from yesterday is here again."
Suddenly, the housekeeper came into the room to report.
"What are you doing here again?" Benev was stunned and asked, "Is it possible that they are still coming to bother me about the reward order?"
"Let them come in. They are foreigners after all. It would be bad to just turn them away and affect the reputation of our Bear Country."
"yes!"
The housekeeper stepped back, and after a while, he came in with Lin Fan and Wu Chuan.
"Come here, you two, is there anything else you can do?"
Benev forced a smile.
Benev was not very disgusted with these two people, but he felt a little troubled.
Their status is too special, they are foreigners after all.
"Lord Benev, when I first came in, I saw the guards grabbing a herdsman and walking out. What happened?"
Lin Fan asked curiously.
"Well, it's a long story. To put it simply, it's a herdsman's son who had his legs broken by the Taft family and suffered unfair treatment. He came to me to redress his grievances."
Benev sighed softly, not wanting to say more.
"Avenging grievances? People come to redress grievances, and you arrest them?" Lin Fan was surprised.
Benev was stunned for a moment, then sighed again, picked up the new vodka, took a sip, and stopped talking.
"Humph, a herdsman is so bold that he wants to stir up hatred between Mr. Benev and the Taft family. This kind of person should be thrown into a black jail and locked up for the rest of his life!"
Beside Benev, Losov said fiercely.
Lin Fan stared at the change in Benev's expression, then looked at Losov, with a strange smile on his lips:
"Who is this?"
Lin Fan asked curiously.
"This is Losov, my secretary." Benev said:
"Two foreign friends came to see me this evening. What do you want?"
"Excuse me, Lord Benev, how long have you been the city lord of Gulou City?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
"Twenty-four years, why are you asking?" Benev was curious.
"In the past twenty-four years, under your leadership, has there been any change in Gulou City?" Lin Fan asked again.
Benev frowned:
"Chinese people, you have too many questions."
"Do you want to know what the people of Gulou City think of Lord Benev?" Lin Fan's expression remained unchanged.
"What on earth are you going to do? Please come out if you have nothing to do!" Benev was a little angry.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."
Lin Fan smiled and continued:
"In China, there is a saying that an official must have a righteous heart. A righteous heart means peace of mind. Peace of mind means peace. I wonder if Mr. Benev has heard of it."
"Haha? I'm not Chinese. How could I have heard of your words?"
