Chapter-109: we are not officials, we are escort guards
"What are you reporting me for? Doing business? The court has regulations that officials cannot do business, but we are not doing business."
"The court has only one requirement for the escort officers to deliver the prisoners to their destination within the specified time, even if a few of them die along the way." As he said the last sentence, his cold eyes fell on Foster Abe.
Foster Abe couldn't help but shudder. Oh no, he had completely offended Lord Jeff. Would he not send him to his death? He trembled and regretted it deeply. Wendy Lark dared to make the suggestion at the beginning because she was sure of this point.
The situations of officials and escort guards were completely different. Of course, she did not speak rashly. After observing Lord Jeff for a few days, she found that he was a man of integrity, unconventional in his behavior, a decent person, and had no ill intentions towards torturing the exiles.
The only thing he does is make money! Sell various materials to exiles at high prices and make a profit from the difference. The journey is difficult, with wind and sun, and thousands of miles of travel, isn't it all about making money?
As for the exiles spending money to buy carriages, it was not an exception. As long as they left the capital, it would be fine. The officials are well aware of this and their attitude is tacit approval.
A voice suddenly broke out from the crowd, "Sir, I saw Foster Abe sneaking in contact with the guard whose hands and feet were tied up." Jeff's expression suddenly changed. Guard Jane from the Fifth Prince's Mansion?
He didn't treat him harshly, he just restricted his ability to move, but it was obvious that he hadn't given up yet. "Foster Abe, what did he tell you?" Foster Abe refused to admit it, "I have never seen him and I don't know anything...ah."
The whip hit his body, causing him to scream in pain. Foster Abe was not a tough guy. He confessed honestly after a few whippings. Guard Jane asked him to stir up trouble, the more chaotic the better, so that everyone was in panic.
In return, he will bring Foster Abe back to the capital to work in the Fifth Prince's Palace. Foster Abe was naturally tempted. Wendy Lark smiled faintly, "It seems that some people don't deserve to be treated kindly.
Lord Jeff, Guard Jane likes to make trouble so much, which means he eats too much. Why don't you just drink a bowl of thin porridge a day? We are all law-abiding citizens and cannot lynch them without authorization."
"Miss Wendy is merciful." Lord Jeff just wanted to successfully complete the escort mission and make some extra money along the way. If everything went well, he would be able to earn enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
Therefore, no one can disrupt his plan to make money. What if he offended the Fifth Prince's Mansion? He had no chance of promotion, so he was not afraid of anything. Besides, wealth and honor are achieved through risk.
"Foster Abe, since you listen to Guard Jane so much, then you should be beaten with fifty sticks and stay with him. You can also try to eat a bowl of thin porridge a day." Foster Abe begged desperately, but it was of no use, and no one was willing to plead for him.
After Foster Abe was beaten with fifty boards and dragged away dying, Wendy Lark made a suggestion, "Master Jeff, I think we should start the reward mechanism." Mr. Jeff made a gesture of invitation, "What do you mean?"
Wendy Lark smiled and said, "The person who performs best every day will be given a little star. After collecting six stars, they will have the opportunity to buy a carriage. What do you think?"
Everyone exclaimed "how could this be possible?" Mr. Jeff understood what he meant as soon as he heard it. The idea was a bit crooked, but it must be said that under fair and just circumstances, it stimulated everyone's ambition.
Everyone wants to perform well, which makes management easier for them and kills two birds with one stone. "Yes, but the number is a bit small. We will select six people every day. Miss Wendy, you will have to work harder. You will be responsible for the assessment."
Lord Jeff transferred some power to her, allowing her to establish her prestige smoothly. Last time, Wendy Lark shared half of the beef sauce, beef balls, beef cubes and braised beef with him, and the taste was absolutely amazing.
Sharing the benefits together is the way to a long term relationship. Wendy Lark took on the responsibility without hesitation. She was fair and had a keen eye.
Every day, she would announce the candidates she picked to the public and explain the reasons for their selection, so that everyone would be convinced. Jessica Lark's performance was unexpectedly good.
Although she was sometimes absent minded and stared at everyone with strange eyes, which made everyone feel uneasy. But her management level improved by leaps and bounds. The group she managed always won first place and worked quickly and well.
She was one of the first people to receive six little Stars, and the moment she owned her own carriage, she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. Being self reliant is really great. As for what her mother said in her ear, she simply ignored it.
Wendy Lark said something very right, 'life is short, live it to the fullest.' After being reborn, she wanted to try a different way of living.
This time, she wanted to become stronger and be the master of her own destiny instead of being at the mercy of others. If you have a carriage, you need supporting supplies, and you have to work harder to make money.
