Several landless wanderers, along with Dorothy and her family, left the Fountain Monastery after receiving some food and clothing. Dorothy and her two children, the father thanked Isabel Walton in every way before leaving, Isabel just smiled very calmly, "Dorothy, follow the main road all the way north to Richmondshire, if you don't know where Asker Manor is, just ask the people in the county." ”

Dorothy's eyes were filled with tears when she was moved, and she didn't know what else to say, so she just nodded in agreement. Isabel looked at the letter she had written, and said, "Keep it hidden, for my father's butler will not believe you if it is lost on the road or torn up or snatched away." ”

"Yes, miss, I'll take the letter." Dorothy put the letter in her pocket.

"Alright, let's go, if it goes well, you can sleep in the manor at sunset today."

After Dorothy's family left, Isabel came to the crowd who had been waiting for her. He glanced at John Neville, a young man beside him who was about to speak, and just asked the others, "Are all the seized things packed?" ”

Baldwin, who was standing in front of everyone, nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Excellency." Except for some worn-out clothes and damaged weapons, we've packed everything we can sell. The three riding horses found in the back of the restaurant will also be taken with them. ”

"Well, clothing, weapons, and horses can be brought to Leeds to be sold, and the food is left for us to eat." Isabel looked at John again, who had been trying to speak.

John Neville had been thinking about the thieves and outlaws who had been captured by everyone, and when he noticed the other party's eyes, he told Isabel seriously, "Godmother, you plan to let go of the thieves we caught." However, once they are free, they will still loot and use violence against civilians in Yorkshire or other counties. ”

Isabel glanced at the chaos makers who were still kneeling not far away, their hands tied, and nodded, "I know they did it even after collecting their weapons. ”

"You know? So why did you even decide to let them go? ”

"Because until they make the decision to loot again, it's just an idea, and no one will know what they're thinking, everybody, including me. So, John, can I decide by my own mind the life and death of a person who has not yet committed wrongdoing? ”

John blinked a few times, and his mind spun around to understand her words, "But, they're still going to plunder." ”

Isabel glanced at Baldwin, William, and Fast, "Go get the horses ready, and we'll get out of here." ”

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the godson's face, "John, if you are a thief who is about to rob the property of civilians and I catch you before I even do it, I plan to send you to the magistrate's court and then convict you." What would you think? ”

John didn't speak, just looked at her, paused for a moment and said, "I have not committed a crime, you have no right to arrest me, and the magistrate cannot convict me." ”

"Uh-huh, now, do you understand why I let them go?"

"Godmother, I see. But what about their previous wrongdoings? ”

"John, then, you need to personally escort them to the magistrate's court in the town of Rippon, and charge them with robbery, murder, and violence before the judge."

John frowned slightly, "I still have to go to Leeds City on a mission, I'm afraid I don't have enough time." ”

Shaking her head and smiling, Isabel walked towards the thieves who were kneeling on the ground, and when she came to the middle-aged longbowman and the other thieves who had killed her son, she announced loudly: "I am not the magistrate of Rippon, and I have no right to judge you. So, after we leave, you can leave the monastery. ”

The middle-aged longbowman stared at her with hatred, "You have seized our longbows, spears, and swords, and taken away the food that will keep us alive, are you not afraid that we will plunder again?" ”

"Why am I afraid? If you still want to plunder, you will one day be caught by the local magistrates. If you're lucky, the next time you meet me, I won't let you stay alive easily. ”

"Hmph, you're not going to get a chance to catch us again."

"What, you don't want to seek revenge on me? I'm the murderer of your son. ”

As soon as he heard the other party mention his dead son, the middle-aged man slowly stood up from the grass. John beside Isabel immediately raised the war hammer in his hand, ready to kill the other party. The corners of Isabel's mouth tilted, and she sneered twice, "I can still tell me your true identity, as long as you have the courage to come to me for revenge." ”

The middle-aged man thought to himself, "This must be a young lady from an aristocratic family." What else could I do if she was really Miss Noble? ”

At this moment, Isabel saw William walk in through the door in the direction of the cloister and nodded at her. She nodded in reply and looked at her godson beside her, "John, let's go with William." ”

After John put away the hammer and left, Isabel slowly said to the middle-aged man, "I am Isabelle, the daughter of Sir Augustine, Judge of the Peace of Richmond. If you want to seek revenge on me, you can go to the magistrate's court to find me, remember? ”

After speaking, without waiting for the middle-aged man to respond, he turned around and walked towards the door of the cloister. The thief, who had kindly persuaded the middle-aged man before, looked at her back as she left, stood up and came to the middle-aged man's side, "Hey, did you hear that?" She's the daughter of a magistrate, so think about it before you decide to get revenge. ”

Everyone left Fountain Abbey on horseback and galloped south towards Leeds City on the road outside the nearby Fountain Village. John, who was riding on Isabel's side, couldn't help but laugh happily as he recalled the actions of the morning. Isabel glanced at him, "What's so funny?" ”

"Godmother, I didn't expect to clean up a group of thieves so easily today."

"John, they didn't expect us to go to the monastery, so they let their guard down and didn't prepare for defense."

Young John pouted, "Godmother, this is just a bunch of thieves, even if they have a fight with us, I believe our people can defeat them." ”

Isabel glanced at the boy and smiled with a pretended amusement, "Yes, with God's protection, we can surely overcome them." ”
