Rod and Abbotley looked at each other silently, then fell silent.

Baron Lil's face grew gloomy as the candles flickered in the room, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the wooden tabletop...

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

The sound was small, but each sound hit Rod and Abbelay's hearts hard.

"Then let's talk about the tax collector first, and Baron Hannina took him away. Baron Lil looked at the two of them coldly, "But I know it's just a stand-in, he won't last long, and you'll be in trouble tomorrow morning." ”

The baron rubbed his temples vigorously, "I really don't know if you are really stupid or fake stupid to come up with such a mentally retarded method." ”

"If we can wait until tomorrow, I promise we will both be safe!" Rod said in a low voice.

"Really?" Baron Lil shook his head, "if you're talking about the assassins you arranged?" I don't think you need to count on them, their bodies have been chopped into pieces of flesh at this time, and if you want to see them, you can go to my farm." ”

"You—" Rod's face suddenly became ugly.

"If it weren't for my stupidity to stop you, you'd be crouching in the cellar that those guards had dug temporarily. "Baron Lil looked at Rhodes like an idiot.

Rod looked at Abbolite weakly and said, "They don't have the right to arrest me. ”

"You're a pig, no, you're dumber than a pig!" said Baron Lil, trembling with rage, grabbing a teacup on the table and throwing it at Rod's head.

"Smack!"

After a muffled sound, the tea splashed, and Rhodes' forehead was dripping with blood.

"Ahh

The clerk Ablet hurriedly got up, he pressed Rhodes, who wanted to fight with Baron Lil, looked at the cold-eyed baron and asked, "What do you want us to do?" That tax collector was arranged by the Marquis of Fit, the Marquis of Fit is more difficult to mess with than the guard, and he wants our lives to be simpler than the guard. ”

"Marquis Fett?" Lill was stunned, "you two stupid pigs. He had the heart to tell the two of them about the current situation of the Marquis of Fit, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

After a moment of silence, the baron said: "Twenty-five guards, including the magistrate of Yulai and a senior agent of the security department, as well as the two important witnesses they claim, this is a case that even His Majesty the Emperor is concerned about, and His Majesty's envoy and people from the Prime Minister's Office will arrive early tomorrow morning." ”

"So serious?" Rod was stunned and stunned on the spot.

"According to my intelligence, the two witnesses who died were witnesses in the case of the Under-Secretary of War!" Baron Lill looked at Rhodes like an idiot.

"This—" Mayor Rhodes shook his hand, "is this true?"

Baron Lil didn't want to explain, "Thirty-five more people died outside the town today, and the guards went crazy looking for the missing people in the town... And that girl, there are some things that can't stand up to them to check like this, you tell me first, what the hell is going on. ”

Rhodes and Abbotley were silent again, their heads bowed, their eyes flickering.

Baron Lil looked at them coldly, he had already made up his mind that if he couldn't ask anything, he would hand over the two fools.

Because, he already felt that the guards were investigating him, although he himself was not afraid of those investigations at all, but he knew the shamelessness of the two people in front of him, and it was very likely that he would be bitten back by them at that time.

So, there is this meeting.

To this end, he deliberately mobilized half a squadron of city defense troops to send all the other officials of the town government home.

"Hey!" Mayor Rhodes sighed, "Actually, the two of us don't know what's going on..."Seeing that Baron Lill was angry again, Rhodes hurriedly said: "Goddess, I swear, I really don't know, but I will tell you what I know." ”

"Then speak quickly!" said the baron.

"Actually, at first it was just a small matter, the tax collector named Tabor heard that he was the younger brother of a lover of the Marquis of Fit, who had just come of age, and Janice was the daughter of the village clerk, and the two of them were not at all as rumored by the outside world, Tarber did not rape Janice, and the two of them were already engaged. ”

Rod wiped the blood from his face, the aching wound on his forehead that made his eyelids blink, "But then Tabor's parents didn't know why they suddenly objected to a marriage that should have been blessed by them. ”

Mayor Rhodes paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Janice died tragically in her room the day after Tabor's parents divorced...... Janice's father thinks it was a murder, and he claims to be a traitor to Janice at the police station, and asks the police to open a case for investigation..."

"Wait, I remember that girl was still alive, but she was raped, and she wasn't dead!" Baron Lil frowned.

"It's just a statement, and after the security department wastes a lot of police resources to find out the truth of the matter, we can say that we don't know, and they have nothing to do with us. Rod replied.

Baron Lil was stunned when he heard this, and after a few seconds of serious glances at the two of them, he nodded and said, "You continue." ”

Rod let out a sigh, "Later, the sheriff's agents used magic to detect traces of Tabor's presence during her death in Janice's room... Janice's parents exploded in an instant, and they demanded that the police punish the murderer severely... At the time, Tabor did not have any title, but under imperial law it was punishable by hanging. ”

But that night, Tabor's parents gave his precious son a knighthood, and then settled with Janice's parents, for which Tabor's parents paid a full hundred gold coins. ”

Mayor Rhodes' eyes showed a look of envy, "That's a hundred gold coins!"

"What happened in the town yesterday doesn't look like a settlement!" said Baron Lill coldly, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

"That's what I'm wondering!" Mayor Rhodes didn't want to lie anymore, "I was there when they made a settlement!"

"Why didn't you say it in the first place?" Baron Lill asked in a deep voice, "Did you bring in the people who attacked the magistrate?"

"No!" Rhodes shook his head quickly, "but I know who they are!"

"Who is it?"

"They are an organization that calls itself what Li ......"

"Poof!"

At this moment, a dagger was plunged into the throat of Mayor Rhodes in the light of the candle flame.

"Wow!"

The truth that Rod was about to tell turned into a mouthful of blood.

Baron Lil's face changed suddenly, and he fixed his eyes to see that it was the hand of the clerk next to Rod, Abley.
