After hearing Claire's call, Regan couldn't care less about the work in hand. He threw the file on the desk and hurried to the city gate.
A few minutes later, Regan rode a horse, followed by several Steward's Office officials, who ran over nervously.
After arriving at the city gate, Regan jumped off the horse, identified where Claire was, and trotted over.
"Master! I'm here." Regan shouted out quickly before anyone arrived.
After seeing Regan and several people running towards Claire, the woman couldn't help but shrink her neck, firmly grasped the rag in her hand, and turned around to leave.
But Claire pressed his shoulder immediately. Claire took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm.
Qing Shen said, "It's okay, they are not here to chase you away."
When Regan ran in front of Claire, he followed Claire's arm and focused his gaze on the woman. He also knew in his heart that his young master's anger might be related to this aspect. And looking at the woman's shabby clothes, it must have something to do with Steward's Office.
Thinking of it, Regan couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, so he shouted in a low voice, "Master, what happened?"
"What happened?" Claire's tone was a little indifferent. He was not angry with Regan nor directed at Regan. Regan had been with him for so long. He believed in Regan's character. But for the incident he just heard, it was difficult for his tone to become as calm as usual.
Hearing Claire's rhetorical question, the hearts of the officials following Regan couldn't help but beat violently.
Claire turned to the woman and hummed. "You should ask her yourselves! See what happened under your governance!"
Regan pursed her lips and took a step forward. When the woman saw it, she took a step back in fright. She had never seen such a big battle.
Regan smiled bitterly, has he become some kind of scourge?
So he adjusted his expression to look as kind as possible, "Don't be afraid, this is our lord Griffin Territory, and I am the administrative officer of Nafu City. You can say anything you have, and we will get justice for you."
After hearing this, the woman still hesitated a little and glanced at Claire. After being encouraged by Claire's eyes, she felt relieved.
"I am a resident of Nakin Town. I am married. My husband is a miner in the mine. I now have two lovely children."
"A few months ago, my husband broke his leg while going mining, and he has been recuperating at home. After having no source of income for a few months, I really couldn't support it anymore. If this continues, there is no hope for my husband's leg to be cured, so I went to the person in charge of the mine to ask for his previous salary, but he refused because the salary was paid uniformly."
"Sorry to interrupt," Regan said, "This is a work-related injury. Didn't they pay for work-related injury subsidies and work-related injury treatment?"
The woman shook her head slightly, "I've never heard of it. In the past, when workers in the mine were injured, they spent their own money for treatment. During the period of recovery, they had no source of income."
Regan opened his mouth and looked back at the officials behind him, "Has Nakin Town reported work-related injury allowance?"
Those subsidies were all allocated by them, so they are all recorded in Steward's Office.
After Regan asked, an official stood up and said, "Sir Regan, there are reports every month, and we have allocated the money."
Regan's face turned dark immediately. Well, he cheated on subsidies, and he also cheated on work-related injury subsidies. I don't know how much other subsidies he swallowed.
In addition, there is also the payment of wages to mine workers, which has always been paid once a month. In special circumstances, it can be paid on a daily basis. This was already decided at the beginning. How long has it passed before it turned out to be like this? I have been deceived.
Regan took a deep breath, and he finally understood why his young master was so angry. Now he has personally killed those corrupt people. He is so angry that he eats and drinks his own food, and also uses the money he allocated for them to enjoy.
"Any more questions?"
The woman obviously hesitated, but she still said it.
"My child has been sick and has a fever for several days. If possible, I hope you can lend me some money. I will pay it back when I have money."
"Okay." Regan fumbled for a few Silver Coins from his body and handed them over, "This is for you. You don't have to pay it back."
The woman obviously hesitated for a moment after borrowing Silver Coins. She bit her lip and fell into a dilemma. After a few seconds, she finally made up her mind.
"Sir! Can you give me more?"
"Huh?" Regan was a little surprised and explained, "Take these Silver Coins to treat your illness first. We will get your wages back later, and we will also give you work-related injury subsidies."
The woman shook her head, "That's not what I meant, and I didn't mean to be greedy. It's just that these few Silver Coins cannot pay for the treatment of the child."
"Ah?" Regan was even more stunned.
The pupils of Claire on the side suddenly shrank. As expected, there was also a problem with the medical room set up over there.
When you find a cockroach in the sun, it means you can no longer squeeze in the dark.
It is impossible that Nakin Town only has this problem. To put it more broadly, it is impossible that Nakin Town has such a problem.
Under the bright side of the prosperous and positive Griffin Territory, I don't know how many dirty things are hidden.
Regan wondered, "When did Nakin Town's hospital treatment costs become so high? And just for a simple fever, it costs more than a few Silver Coins?!"
"Prices were very low in the past, but the hospitals behind me said that they used to do business at a loss, but now our wages have caught up, so they will start to increase prices."
"We also understood from the beginning that the price will get higher as time goes by, and it will take at least several months of storage to treat the disease."
"What a loss!" Regan couldn't help but yelled, "Do they have any conscience anymore? My monthly medical subsidy of more than 100,000 yuan has been thrown into the sea? Didn't they get it? They are still losing money!"
After being furious, Regan slowly calmed down, "Then why don't you come to Nafu City to report it?"
The woman said timidly, "They said that the people in Nafu City are also theirs, and they also threatened us that if we find someone coming to inform us, they will send someone to break our legs."
Regan Only then did he realize. No wonder the woman took a step back when she saw him. It turned out to be because of this.
"Hmph." Claire also snorted coldly at this time, and said with a chuckle, "Them?... They dare to threaten, I also work for them."
After hearing Claire speak, Regan also closed his mouth and turned his head to look over.
I saw Claire waving his hand, "Go check it out and bring Knight Squad with you."
Regan lowered his head respectfully, "I understand, Master."
After Claire finished giving instructions and was about to leave, the woman reached out and held him, after a pause.
"I'm sorry for causing you any trouble."
"..."
Claire shook his head gently, "I'm sorry for you."
