William couldn't help frowning, covered his nose, and walked in with a look of disgust.

"Three adults, I don't know who you are looking for, the little one will take you to find it." One of the guards saw the three and quickly jumped up from his chair.

A person in such clothes can never be a small person, and such a character must of course stutter.

"We're looking for...... The witness to the murder of the aristocracy on the street, we are going to ask something! William said, looking at the guard.

"Ah, I see, please come with me, three adults, and I can take you to them." With that, the guard began to walk inside.

The three of them looked at each other, nodded and followed the guard inside.

The dungeon was gloomy and damp, with all kinds of painful moans and screams, and numb eyes all over the dungeon.

Even at this time, there are some prisoners who are receiving those cruel punishments, because they are in the dungeon, so the torches are flickering here, and under the light of the fire, not only is there no warmth here, but it makes people feel cold all over the body.

Leng Yan watched all this, and the three of them followed the guards and kept walking inside, just after William walked for a while, he saw no less than nearly a thousand prisoners.

The entire royal capital only has a population of thirty or forty thousand, and there are so many people in the dungeon, which shows that there are many darkness here.

Ignoring the pleas of the surrounding prisoners for mercy, the guards finally led the three to the cell where the witnesses were being held.

Because they were only witnesses and didn't post any crimes, the jailers and guards didn't bother them much, so they were in good health.

However, although their bodies were not destroyed, their hearts were extremely traumatized, and they witnessed so many cruel punishments, so many desperate screams and wails, which made their eyes dull.

"Hey, hey, hey! Three big men have come to see you, and if these three adults want to ask you something, you must answer truthfully! ”

As the head snake in the dungeon, the guard is quite terrifying, and it directly scares these people.

"That's it!" William stopped the guards from continuing to intimidate, and even if anything went on, he was so frightened that he forgot about it.

"You go down first, you are not needed here, I will talk to your boss when the time comes!" William knew his little bit of caution very well, and he was sent away with a word.

"Thank you so much, thank you very much for your kindness and zeal, my lord!" Although the guard didn't know William's identity, he would see, and from his bearing and clothes, he knew that William was definitely a big man.

These temperaments are not so easy to cultivate, William has been in a high position for four years, from a robber at the beginning, to a nobleman.

And his state of mind is also improving with his identity, at first he has no majesty to say, and even some people dare to ignore him.

But now it's different, his eyes reveal pride, and there is a kind of leadership temperament that makes others subconsciously convinced.

After the guard left, William began to question him through the cell door.

This was also the order of King Brolin, who put these witnesses in the king's dungeon, and if they were not controlled, the nobles would inevitably fall into passivity.

Obviously, the power of the nobility represented by King Brolin, and as for the church, they did not dare to disobey the king's orders.

After all, the Church is not very powerful here.

"Tell me, what happened that day, and how did the monk die?" William's voice was full of kindness, and he wanted to use a gentle attitude to ease the tension of these people.

Apparently, however, it was of no avail, and the frightened witnesses did not respond to William's question.

Originally, these people had no quarrel with the world, and they were all living their own small lives conscientiously, but just because they passed by on the street and witnessed a brawl and murder, their peaceful life was shattered.

"I'm asking!" Seeing that these people did not speak, William couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Answer me!!" Seeing that these people still didn't speak, William was also a little angry, and directly roared loudly.

Frightened these people, they looked at William with frightened eyes.

"I don't know, sir, what do you want to know?" A witness subconsciously asked, but immediately answered the following question.

"What you want to ask about that murder is what happened!"

"I was on the street preparing today's dinner that day, and as I passed by the tavern, I suddenly noticed a commotion ahead."

"Curious, I rushed to the front and began to watch, and found that a nobleman and a monk of Minhang had quarreled."

"The nobleman came out of the tavern, found the monk in the street, and for some unknown reason, began to sneer at the monk."

Hearing this, William nodded, in fact, he had already guessed that this would be the case, and the nobleman obviously had a trace of weakness when he spoke.

Although his expression deceived most people, William still saw the clue.

"And then? What was the monk's reaction? William then asked.

"The monk was so angry that he quarreled with the nobleman, and began to sneer at the nobleman, and then a conflict even broke out, and as the conflict escalated, the nobleman finally pulled out the sword at his waist and killed the monk."

Several witnesses took turns saying that William had to make sure that the information was authentic and that nothing was missing.

After listening to the descriptions of these people, William already had an idea in his letter.

It was nothing more than that the nobleman's domain had become a miasma because of the privileges granted to the church, but because of the king's order, he could only endure the anger in his heart and get drunk at the tavern to dispel his sorrows.

After drinking, he found a monk in the street, which apparently aroused anger in his heart.

Under the anesthesia of alcohol, he couldn't suppress it, and finally detonated the anger he had been having.

He clashed with the "innocent" monk, and then the monk's cynicism finally wore away the last bit of sanity in his heart.

Draw your sword and finish off the monk.

But in the end, he finally realized what he had done.

In fact, if it was placed in the former Tskema Kingdom, as long as the nobles did not kill the more high-ranking and high-ranking monks, they would not be punished too much.

At most, some compensation was given, and as the first case between nobles and monks after the compromise of the Kingdom of Tskema, it was obviously impossible to take it lightly.

This directly determined the way in which the nobles and the church would get along with each other in the future, as well as the distribution of interests between the church and the nobility.

Through this case, the Church will swear its new privileges and strength, and the nobles will resist the power of the Church with a resolute attitude.

Therefore, this matter can be said to be a game between two sides, and if it were not for a special period, this matter would not even attract much attention.
