24 Kidnappers and scapegoats
"Ahh
The four men, who sensed that Weken was about to search the carriage, were in a hurry, and they didn't bother to blackmail the fruit stall owner.
At this moment, the man in charge hurriedly stuffed a small bag into Negar's hand and squeezed Wei Ken's eyes.
"Weken......" Negar thoughtfully accepted the bag and gestured to Weken.
Inside is Djeru coins, which looks like quite a few.
"Really?" Wei Ken nodded, silently retracting his sword into its scabbard, "It seems that you also have 'important matters', so don't linger on the 'car accident' any longer." ”
I don't know what they hid in the car, but it would be an opportunity to solve this boring car accident.
"Yes, sir!" the man wiped the sweat from his forehead and was about to leave with three of his men.
"Phew!" one of the men squirped in disrepute, "How dare a dog patrol be disrespectful to Lord Sovath's servants! I'm going to make that old fellow lose money today! Not only that, but I'm going to sue you dog patrolmen!"
Negar was silent, as was the man at the head.
Pig teammates!!
Wei Ken nodded faintly: "I think the search needs to continue." ”
Sovas? Looks like I heard that name yesterday. It seems that it is the son or grandson of a nobleman? Forget it, it doesn't matter.
The sword was unsheathed, and Wei Ken shouted: "You guys, squat down with your head in your hands! I suspect that you have hidden prohibited items in the carriage, and according to the law, we will conduct a search!"
"Look, my lord, this is Lord Sovath's personal belongings......" The man led by him kicked over the pig teammate and hurriedly smiled at Wei Ken.
A large purse that had been untied from the pig teammate was handed over by the man with a smile.
"Really...... I see, you are all good citizens...... Conscience, greatly!"
Weken nodded and looked at Neymar......
Pig teammate: "Oh oh!
Everyone present was furious, and even the onlookers couldn't stand it.
Pig teammates!!
The man was eager to beat up the pig teammate. But at this time, the front teeth that were knocked out by his own people had to be swallowed to death.
"Sure enough, you're still too suspicious!" Wei Ken was expressionless, "Loku, Negar, prepare for battle!"
Swish!
The blade is unsheathed.
"Hold your head and squat!Shut up and be investigated!" Wei Ken drew his sword and glanced indifferently at the four men in front of him.
"Bah!" the pig teammate was furious, his eyes were full of rage, and he wanted to burn everyone who looked at him with contempt, "that old fellow of the old Voyd, and the dog is worthy of stopping our Lord Sovas's carriage!?"
"My lord, is there really no other solution?"
The man at the head now wants to draw his sword and kill the pig teammate first.
It's not just the stupid boss who kicks his nose in the face!
Wei Ken nodded: "Accept the investigation." ”
Negar is about to burst into tears: don't nod your head at this time! This is not called "other solution"!
"In that case, don't blame us. The man in charge frowned, "Don't blame us for defeating you for the sake of Lord Sovath's 'glory'!"
He emphasizes the name "Sovas" as well as "Glory", as if to hint at these things.
But Weken couldn't understand, but he didn't need to understand either. Perhaps, these are the customs of this world?
There were indeed weapons on the carriage, and the four people in the carriage were all holding a sword at this time, vigilant against the three Wei Ken in front of them.
Three-on-four, very troublesome. And this side ......
Swish!
The pig teammate's eyes widened in disbelief and he clutched his throat and fell softly.
"What!?"
Unexpectedly, Wei Ken killed people directly, or under the name of Sovas......
Although the man at the head hated his pig teammates, he was also stunned at this time.
Swish!
Another stab into the eye socket of the man at the head.
The skill-level slashing sword technique is very useful against these domestic servants.
"Wow!"
"Murdered!"
"Help!"
The melon-eating crowd screamed.
"So, you ......" Wei Ken didn't care about the blood on the blade, and quietly looked at the remaining two enemies.
Now that you've shown your weapons to the patrol, there's nothing wrong with killing you according to the law.
Soul, two souls...... Now there are ten more.
You can upgrade an "entry" level to a "proficient" level again - it's really HI!
"Wow!!"
The two of them, who had never been treated so cruelly, threw away the swords in their hands, fell to their knees and vomited.
"It's a pity ......"
Weken sighed regretfully.
"Weken ......" Negar on the side smiled bitterly, "You guy, what the hell is going on......"
Loku swallowed a mouthful of saliva, found a rope from the side, and began to tie up the two "suspects" who surrendered.
"So, let me see what's on the wagon. By the way, Loku, why don't we use chains next time?"
Wei Ken carried the blood-stained sword and turned directly into the carriage.
Loku shrugged: "Next time, it's on the chain." ”
On the carriage, the long box was still trembling slightly, and there was a slight noise coming from inside. It seems that there is something in it that cannot see the light.
"Is there a lock?" Weken nodded, "The protection is not bad, but unfortunately the people who protect them don't have very good brains. ”
If they hadn't deliberately caused trouble and were able to bypass by, they might not have been intercepted and investigated by the guards at all.
"Is it locked? I'll look for the key!" called out Negar and began rummaging through the two corpses.
"No, I don't. Wei Ken shook his head, and with a single sword stabbed open the wooden plank behind the lock, and destroyed the wooden box with three blows and two divisions.
This isn't one of those game worlds, and you have to find the key to open the chest.
Squeak......
"This ......," Wei Ken frowned.
This kind of thing has to be reported to Freud. No, as far as killing two people is concerned, it must also be reported, right?
In the long box, there was a girl who was bound, her mouth was gagged, and there was no trace of clothing on her body.
"Hmm!!" her eyes were filled with fear of death.
Tears streamed down his face.
She shook her head, trying to back away, but couldn't break free from the rope.
Forgot to remove the strip of cloth from her mouth.
"I'm a soldier in Forest Town. So, who are you?"
"Soldier, soldier...... Whoaa!!" The girl cried loudly, "Daddy, Mommy, they were all killed by the Sovas faction!"
This is a case of murder and kidnapping. Moreover, it is dominated by the aristocracy.
Wei Ken frowned: "Sovas......"
There is a connection with Sovas, who was the son or grandson of a nobleman.
"You're safe now. Weken nodded.
After a burst of crying, the fear in the girl's eyes gradually dissipated. She breathed a sigh of relief.
As if from the exhaustion of crying, she collapsed weakly and fell asleep.
It seems that she has been subjected to very inhumane treatment.
Let's take her back first.
On this day, Forest Town was blown up.
The public opinion of the explosion is all directed at Sovas, the son of Gulf who rules the town of the forest.
The long period of heavy taxation, the constant oppression and exploitation, caused people to go on strike, raise planks and knives and forks, and protest against the aristocracy of the fish. And this news has also spread rapidly in people's word of mouth. In just half a day, the civilians of the entire forest town knew the general outline of the incident.
A young girl from a small village on the outskirts of Forest Town was kidnapped by Sovas, while her parents were killed in a half-harvested wheat field.
If it's just a disappearance, or if the body is found somewhere, then there's nothing ......
But now, the maiden is alive and has been rescued from the nobleman's carriage by the patrol guards.
The anger of the people was directed at the rulers, and riots were imminent.
At this time, the car accident incident has long been ignored. Weken threw the money he had collected from the dead man at his boss and told him to find a doctor for his son. The abducted girl was now under investigation in the Freud camp.
"My lord, please, my parents have been brutally murdered by those beasts!" the girl cried, and there was no joy in her eyes for the aftermath of the catastrophe, only hatred for the perpetrator.
If she could, she would sell her soul to the demons and take the most brutal revenge on the nobles with "glory", right?
"Weken, you really surprised me on your first day in office......" Freud sighed with a bitter face.
Weken stood aside, silent.
"Daddy! Sovas they are so hateful! Now that the culprit has been caught, and he has learned that it was Sovas's order, then he must punish Sovas well! Even nobles can't do such a thing!" Lizlit was indignant, gently stroking the back of a girl her age, soothing her heart.
The girl had already put on a dress that Lizlit had brought, and was leaning into Lizlit's arms and sobbing quietly.
Floyd was silent, glanced at Weken, and finally shook his head: "Wecan, you stay, Liz, you take this girl to rest." Let her take a nap. By the way, call Lear in. ”
"Hmm. Lizlit picked up the girl and walked in the opposite direction to an unused tent.
Lear came in from outside the tent, glanced at Weken, and finally turned his gaze to Floyd, "Kill?"
"Kill?" Wei Ken was puzzled.
"That's all I can do. Floyd nodded.
Weken was confused: "Kill whom?"
"The two scapegoats you caught. Lear spread his hands, "You're really, if you want to kill people, you can't kill them all......"
"I see. I thought it would be good for the investigation to stay alive......" Wei Ken suddenly brightened, "So, I'll do it?"
This world is a paradise for nobles, and compared to the commoners, the "glory" of the nobles is greater than everything. In order not to disgrace the aristocracy, scapegoating was a must.
What's more, those were two precious souls.
Freud's eyes were solemn: "I'll come." And only me. Lear, lead the people to prepare the execution table, and I will be the executioner myself. ”
"Yes. ”
Outside the Western Barracks that day, two heads accompanied their "secrets" and were forever sealed in a wooden box presented to Gulf by Floyd.
The scapegoat was beheaded by Freud for several crimes such as "betraying the master", "oppressing civilians", "homicide", "abduction", etc. And their bodies were torn apart by the angry populace.
Along with all this, Gulf ordered a halving of the tax on roadside operations.
Everyone was celebrating, especially the hawkers who had illegally occupied the carriageway to avoid taxes.
