I don't know why everyone is getting punished when it's the red-haired guys fault for not weeding out the corruption in his own knight faction. Obviously he did good on punishing the older knight, but I don't understand why everyone else around him including his blonde assistant are also getting punished. The ML even predicted this would happen but hoped for the best instead of taking precautions. How irresponsible can you be? Not only did the FL get hurt but so many other knights too because he was simping over the same girl he indirectly turned into a target.
I can only assume the punishment is to set an example for the other knights not to start fights. But he also said he chose to cut the wages because it wouldn't stain their reputation and he did it in private, so that doesn't make sense either. It's not that they should've immediately reported it, it's that this situation should've never happened.
