"By the way, Aponia, I brought Aunt Liddell back this time too. I'll have her in charge of the nursery from now on."
"It's the master."
Niu Zida briefly explained the situation at home and then began inquiring about the situation in the city during his absence, receiving the following reply:
Chapter 65
The answer is that everything is normal. The city has gradually returned to peace these days, especially after seeing the hostages handed over by various territories being sent into the city. Everyone knows the loyalty of the various knightly territories to Baroness Donna, and things have settled down.
"But people's attitude towards goblins hasn't changed much, has it?"
These days Aponia has been the one actually managing affairs within the territory, so she replied:
"Because of the master's orders, goblins are now strictly forbidden from entering the city and can only be responsible for the defense of the city walls and castle. There have been no guards patrolling the city market these days, and some thefts have reportedly occurred. Lawsuits have also been filed, and I have forbidden all those who have been accused from leaving the city."
“You did the right thing, Aponia. Who handled these legal cases before?”
"They are all managed by the lord himself. If not, the duty knight commander can be in charge. There are no standing officials in the territory except for the tax collectors."
Upon hearing Amelie's addition, Niu Zida said:
"Once Amelie finishes giving birth, please handle these lawsuits personally. I will go with you. Also, starting tomorrow, have the city's garrison resume patrols to appease the city's residents and maintain order."
It's just a small town with a population of just over 1000. After only about 10 days of sending human troops out, security incidents started to occur. Niu Zida felt fortunate that the goblins hadn't been allowed to take over internal security, otherwise they might have caused such a big mess during this period. It seems that the method of using humans to govern humans should still be implemented.
"Master, you've just returned. You should rest early. We can consider these matters tomorrow."
Serita took the initiative to hug Niu Zida in her arms and kiss his cheek, and then deliberately rubbed his head from behind with her soft breasts while smiling and admonishing him.
"Well, Seritina, come keep me company tonight. I have some questions for you."
Upon hearing that Seritina was to serve him in bed on his very first day back, the other maids had some subtle reactions. Misato Shizuku stood up, glared at Ushio, and left unceremoniously to return to her bedroom. Joel was slightly disappointed but didn't say anything, while Aponia remained expressionless.
Amelie, along with Ji, was helpless, as she was heavily pregnant and the least likely to be chosen to serve the emperor. It was impossible for her to be chosen. However, she hoped that other maids would serve the emperor rather than Seritina, as Seritina serving the emperor would be the worst possible outcome for her.
"After I left, did the lords of the various territories make any untoward moves?"
"No, ever since my husband was defeated, no territory has dared to challenge our master."
Hearing Seritina's words, Niu Zida felt a little relieved. Of course, he also knew that he probably wouldn't get anything out of her by asking. If Seritina really intended to do something behind his back, she wouldn't be so foolish as to tell him.
How many people are there in your Etcheverria territory?
"As for registered households, there are probably tens of thousands of people."
As expected, she wasn't telling him the truth here. The previous conversation was just a casual introduction. What Niu Zida really wanted to probe about Seritina was the wealth of the Echeberia territory. He wasn't sure before, but after learning about the general situation in Baron Dore's directly controlled territory, he began to doubt Echeberia's previous claim of 10,000 registered residents. Niu Zida now urgently needed to know the population figures of the major knightly territories so that he could accurately estimate the war potential of various regions and whether they posed a threat to him.
Why don't you tell the truth?
"I'm telling the truth."
Niu Zida asked again, but Seritina still didn't answer seriously. With a gentle smile, she took the initiative to hug Niu Zida, trying to fool him by offering him her big snowflakes.
Niu Zida looked around and felt he already had a plan, so he pinched Seritina's large snowball and gave the order:
"You bastard, lie down properly."
Seritina thought that Niu Zida had been fooled by her and was captivated by her body, so she smiled and took the initiative to lie on the bed, raising her fleshy buttocks high. However, Niu Zida did not rush to enter her, but instead used his big hand to slap Seritina's elastic fleshy buttocks hard, making a crisp sound.
"Ah...Master, why did you suddenly beat this wicked servant?"
"Now I'm going to ask you some questions. Tell me everything clearly, understand? Don't hide anything."
"I have never lied to my master."
Seritina pretended to be aggrieved, but Niu Zida didn't buy it. He slapped Seritina's fleshy buttocks hard, making them sway back and forth, which made the beautiful woman scream again.
"Your approach won't work on me. Just answer the questions honestly."
"Master, really, what do you want to ask?"
"Tell me, how many people are still in the territory of Etcheberia?"
"Didn't I tell you??? Ah??? Don't hit me like that??? It hurts???"
Hearing that Seritina was still stubbornly resisting and refusing to tell the truth, Niu Zida didn't hold back and slapped Seritina's fleshy buttocks hard again, making her buttocks heat up and she couldn't help but start to groan.
"If you don't want to get beaten, tell the truth, understand?"
Niu Zida pressed her for answers again, and Seritina knew she probably couldn't fool him anymore, so she could only tremble and whisper through her cherry blossom-petal-like lips:
"The actual number of registered residents is only 3000."
As expected, the situation in the Etcheveria territory was no better than that in the Dore territory.
Chapter 66
Well, Seritina was afraid that if she reported the population of the Echeberia territory too low, it would provoke her to take over the territory by force. Niu Zida sneered inwardly. Sure enough, this little girl could not be deceived by her beautiful and docile appearance. She had a lot of little schemes in her heart.
Chapter Sixty-Four: Meat Shreds Solve the Case
Chapter Sixty-Four.
"It turns out that there are hardly any people left in the territory of Etcheberia."
Upon hearing this, Niu Zida pinched Seritina's large snowflake, which made the beautiful woman a little worried. Would Niu Zida really change his strategy and attack her husband's territory after hearing this news?
"Don't worry, now that I've released your husband, I won't go back on my word and launch another attack."
"Of course, our master is a man of his word."
Realizing that Niu Zida might have seen through her thoughts, Seritina quickly smiled to cover it up. Niu Zida ignored her and continued speaking:
"The situation in the Dore territory is so bad now that it seems that it can't be solved by humans alone."
"What do you mean by this, Master?"
Seritina still didn't quite understand Niu Zida's inner thoughts, and asked curiously, but Niu Zida didn't want to tell her everything. He just kneaded Seritina's large breasts, which made Seritina even more curious, and she pressed for more information:
"Master, what are your plans next?"
"Of course I did it well."
As Niu Zida spoke, he suddenly grinned wickedly and pinched Seritina's large breasts, then pressed her down on the bed, exposing her fleshy buttocks, and entered her from behind without any hesitation...
After a long and intense battle, the two embraced. Seritina pressed her large breasts almost completely against Niu Zida's face. After kissing and licking for a while, Niu Zida slid down and hugged Seritina's straight and slender thighs. Seritina understood her master's intention, so she wrapped her thighs around Niu Zida's body, allowing him to hug her elastic thighs and fall asleep peacefully.
Two days later, after Amelie had successfully given birth, Niu Zida allowed Amelie to hold him while he handled the lawsuits within his territory. This time, Amelie wore a noble's long dress with a hollow lining, along with flesh-colored pantyhose and high heels. To prevent anyone from questioning the fairness of the lord's judgment, Amelie had Niu Zida hide under her long dress, wrapping her slender, flesh-colored calves around Niu Zida's body. This also made it easier for Niu Zida to play with her delicate, soft, flesh-colored feet.
The trial was held in the courtroom on the first floor of the castle, which was originally where the lord handled judicial matters within his territory. Sitting in her chair, after Niu Zida crawled under her long skirt, Amelie ordered the guards to bring the people up. The first person to come up was the owner of the general store, who accused several people around him of robbing his store about half a month ago.
"Has the suspect been brought in?"
“I brought it. Ever since the general store owner delivered the complaint to the castle, Miss Aponia has ordered the goblins guarding the city gates to prevent these people from leaving the city. She also specifically asked the owner to report the characteristics of these people, waiting for the human guards to return so that they can be dealt with.”
What did they steal from you?
"Reporting to Your Excellency, there is a total of one box of milk, three pieces of cloth, and a varying amount of bread."
"Has a search been conducted?"
"Reporting to the Regent, the search has been completed, and remnants of stolen goods were found in the homes of these individuals."
Amelie felt her slender, silk-stockinged feet being constantly touched by Niu Zida. She deliberately turned her long skirt over to conceal her feet. Hearing the knight on duty report that the shopkeeper's words were true, there was no room for argument. Amelie then gave the order:
"According to the laws of this territory, anyone who steals or robs will be punished by having their hands chopped off. So let's begin the execution."
Hearing such a cruel sentence, Niu Zida, who was kissing Amelie's slender, silk-stockinged calves and enjoying the service of her beautiful feet, suddenly pinched Amelie's calf, signaling her to stop the punishment. Amelie didn't understand her master's meaning, but then she felt Niu Zida write words on her calf with his hand, which slowly read out as:
"Reduce the sentence to six months of hard labor."
Unable to understand why Niu Zida was being lenient with these robbers, Amelie knew that in the past, nobles would severely punish their own people for theft and robbery. However, since it was Niu Zida's order, Amelie couldn't disobey, so she changed her tune and said:
"The territory has just been restored, so let's reduce the punishment for these people who committed robbery. They should be sentenced to six months of hard labor to help repair the city defenses and castle."
The prisoners who had been captured were already terrified when they heard that their hands would be chopped off, and they started crying and begging for mercy. But when they heard that Amelie had changed her mind and said that she would only be forced to do hard labor, they all knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, thanking the Regent for her kindness. Amelie didn't even look at them, because her attention was now completely focused on servicing Niu Zida's fleshy and beautiful feet.
The subsequent sentences were similar, mostly for theft and robbery, with the stolen goods mostly being food. Following Niu Zida's instructions, Amelie sentenced these people to six months of hard labor. The cases from the past ten days were resolved in about a morning. In fact, most of these cases occurred during the few days when the guards were transferred away. It seems that the city's guards and patrols cannot be transferred at will, otherwise the city's security cannot be guaranteed, Amelie thought to herself.
Niu Zida was holding Amelie's meat over there.
Chapter 67
He couldn't stop kissing her silk stockings, his saliva even seeping into them and soiling the beautiful woman's stockings. After the trial was over, Amelie simply sped up, finally feeling a hot stream sprayed onto her beautiful silk stockings...
"Master, why were these thieves punished so leniently?"
After the trial concluded and with few people around, Amelie finally picked up Niu Zida, who had been hiding in her long dress, and let him lie in her arms so she could play with her Ooyukiko.
"Haven't you noticed? These people are only stealing food, which means that the city is currently experiencing a shortage of supplies, leading to frequent thefts and robberies. In this situation, harsh punishments can only deter people temporarily. In the long run, if the supply of materials is not improved, there will only be more and more thieves, and it will be impossible to kill them all."
"But wouldn't such lenient sentences encourage many people to commit crimes with impunity?"
"So I sentenced most of them to six months of hard labor, so that these lawbreakers would be organized to work and they would not be able to commit crimes again."
"But why does it have to be half a year?"
"Because in about six months, there will be a new harvest of grain in the territory. When the supply is stable, there will naturally be less theft. The fundamental solution to crime is to solve poverty. Only by letting people live can no one take risks. If they don't live, even the cruelest punishments are useless."
Hearing Niu Zida say this, Amelie nodded as if she understood, and Niu Zida kissed her big snowball and continued:
"Many of the robbers are laborers. If their hands are cut off, they will be unable to work and will become a burden on the territory. Organizing them can help build houses and water conservancy facilities for the migrants, and provide them with some food to keep them alive. This can also be used as a form of work relief to absorb unstable elements for our own use."
"Master, you are so clever."
"Anyone could figure this out if they put their mind to it."
After Niu Zida finished speaking, he ordered Amelie to spread her fleshy slits and place them on the chair where the people had just been judged, and then press down on her from the front. After a while, the whole room was filled with the creaking and swaying of the chair.
Chapter Sixty-Five: Barbarian Invasion
Chapter Sixty-Five.
As Niu Zida thrust violently, the room was filled with Amelie's humiliating moans of pleading, which echoed for a long time before finally subsiding...
After venting his anger, Niu Zida lay sprawled on Amelie's high, snowy breasts, savoring the soft fragrance emanating from the beautiful woman's large breasts, and said to Amelie:
"For the next period of time, you can focus on having more sons for me in the territory. There will be war after spring. Once there are enough goblins in the territory, I can take the goblins with me on the next expedition and leave the human troops in the city."
"Why is the master so sure that there will be a war in the spring? He said the same thing when he was recruiting refugees."
"You'll know when the time comes."
With Amelie handling the case, the human guards resumed patrols, and after a few days, the territory gradually stabilized, with fewer thefts and robberies. Niu Zida knew that this was only temporary peace. If production in the territory could not be restored this year, the security situation in the territory, which was already suffering from food and clothing shortages, would only worsen. People who are hungry are not worthy of talking about morality and law.
