Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

With the addition of more than twenty servants, Shanlim Castle began normal operations.

Luo Ning's daily life was temporarily freed from the rush and anxiety, and he began to spend more time practicing swordsmanship and magic.

Early the next morning, under the service of maid Bella, Luo Ning put on the formal clothes brought from Wushan Fort.

The maid Bella acted very reserved, not even daring to raise her head.

Although she had been trained by Chahar, this was her first time practicing on a lord, so she was a little confused.

Luo Ning didn't show anything strange on the surface, but he still felt strange in his heart when a woman was dressing her so intimately.

He wanted to do it himself, but it was a pity that he was not very good at doing this kind of palace collar clothing.

"Don't worry Bella, you can just relax."

Luo Ning reminded: "We have plenty of time."

"Yes, yes, sir!"

Bella responded in a low voice, her face turned red, her fingers became a little unruly when working with the palace collar, and her body seemed to be getting weaker and weaker due to nervousness.

Fortunately, the clothes were almost worn, and after smoothing out a few clothes corners, the maid Bella could finally breathe.

She completed her first service successfully.

Luo Ning lowered his head and looked at his outfit. With his gorgeous service and tall figure, he looked quite handsome.

"Well done Bella!"

The maid blushed and lowered her head, "Thank you for the compliment, sir. Bella can do better next time!"

"I look forward to it."

Luo Ning said and walked out of the locker room.

Outside, the valet Galen was waiting there: "Sir, Chahar has already brought the people who came to apply for political affairs officers to the lobby of the fort."

"Then let's go there."

Luo Ning asked as he walked, "How many people are here in total?"

Gallon replied, "Three in total."

"Only three?"

Hearing this number, Luo Ning didn't know what to say for a while.

Galen explained: "At dawn, more than a dozen people came outside the castle, and they all wanted to be your administrative officers. However, after the screening by Chahar's housekeeper, some of the less capable ones were eliminated, and in the end only Three.”

After leaving the inner fort, Luo Ning came to the outer fort hall, which was a relatively open wooden room usually only used by Chahar or McCann.

For example, it was here that the housekeeper taught the newlyweds etiquette last night.

Luo Ning entered the room, and Chahar greeted him, "Sir, these are the three people I selected after preliminary screening."

When the three people saw Luo Ning coming, they immediately bowed and said hello to the lord.

Looking at their salutes, Luo Ning could tell that these three people were free men and not serfs. After all, the latter had to kneel down when they saw their lord.

"We're glad you guys responded to Hillwood's recruitment."

Luo Ning walked up to sit down and went directly to the topic: "But I only need one political officer, so I need to choose one from the three of you."

The three of them were a little nervous, but they were all ready to run.

"Let's start with you."

Luo Ning pointed to the middle-aged man on the far left, "The remaining two will go out first, one by one."

The man named to stay became nervous. He knew that the real exam had begun.

"Now there is a dispute between two territorial residents over a fat duck. They both say that the duck is theirs, and both sides gathered a few friends, and a small conflict broke out between a dozen people."

Luo Ning asked the question he had thought about, "If you were the administrative officer of Shanlin Town, how would you handle this matter?"

"Uh……"

The man was stunned. He didn't seem to expect that Luo Ning would ask such a question. His mind was buzzing for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He kept shouting in his heart to quickly wake up and answer the question, but he just didn't know how to answer it.

As the silence lengthened, his palms, forehead, and back were covered in sweat, and his breathing became rapid.

After waiting for dozens of seconds without getting a response, Luo Ning couldn't help but ask again: "Tell me, how would you handle it?"

"I, I, I don't know..."

The man sat down on the ground, his voice trembling.

Luo Ning was speechless.

Even if this person can't answer, he doesn't have to sit on the ground in fear. Is his psychological quality so poor?

"Next." He waved his hand.

Chahar quickly ran over and pulled up the applicant who was lying on the ground, and helped him out of the hall.

Faced with the same problem, the second person behaved calmly.

"Sir, you are the lord of Shanlin Town. Everything here belongs to you, including the property of the people, and even themselves. So I think it is unreasonable for them to snatch the ownership of a duck, because this This duck is yours!"

The man replied sonorously: "So, I will capture the duck they snatched and send it to the castle, so that I can resolve their dispute and properly resolve this matter."

Luo Ning rubbed his chin and thought for a while, "What you said makes some sense. Let's go down and wait for the notification. Chahar, let the third person in."

Faced with the same problem, the third person behaved relatively calmly.

After a brief thought, the man gave his answer, "Sir, if I were a political officer, I would resolve this matter in several steps."

Luo Ning motioned for the other party to continue.

"The first step is to notify the castle guards and arrest all the troublemakers."

"In the second step, I will try to put them on trial to determine who this duck really belongs to."

"In the third step, I will punish this group of people. The person who pretends to be a person will be sentenced to a felony, whipped and fined, and his accomplices will be punished with coolies and fines."

"As for the other party, I will impose a penalty ranging from a warning or coolies to a fine depending on the cause and severity of the conflict."

After the call was finished, even Chahar, who was standing aside, cast an admiring look at the other party. Unsurprisingly, this was the administrative officer.

Luo Ning was obviously very satisfied with this answer.

"Tell me how you will judge them and determine the ownership of this duck."

The man pondered again and said: "The pretender is obviously a pariah, and we do not need mercy for such people. I will use verbal warnings and whipping warnings in exchange for the other party's honest explanation."

Luo Ning was not very satisfied with this answer, "In this case, the real owner of the duck may be accidentally injured."

"But I cleared his name."

The man said very firmly: "I believe he will be grateful to me in the end."

Luo Ning shook his head, "I agree with your previous answer, but I don't agree with your trial method. If the duck's owner is forced to admit because he is afraid of your threat, it means you have indulged the pretender."

Upon hearing such a comment, the applicant's face paled. Being denied by Lord Baron, there should be no chance, right?
