Chapter 664: Complaint
"Oh, so you did murder me on purpose?"
While Maz was discussing with Rick, a voice suddenly sounded around them, and the familiar tone made them jump immediately: "Rune?!" Damn it! ”
They kept staring behind them, when did the other party run so close?
"I'm saddened...... After all, you used to be my friend......" Fang Yuan said unhurriedly: "Now that you want to murder me, don't you know that according to the laws of the principality, murdering a free citizen will be the price?" You're going to be sent to the gallows! ”
"No!"
Rick's legs went limp, and he almost fell to his knees: "It's all Maz's idea!" ”
"Stand up, you idiot!" Maz's eyes were red, and a fierce light appeared, and he suddenly pulled out a dagger: "Until now, we have to send him to the underworld, otherwise we will all go to prison!" ”
He rushed forward, the dagger in his hand stabbed out like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, although he had not undergone professional assassination training, this hand was accurate and ruthless, and he didn't know how many times he had practiced in private.
He was the one who backstabbed Rune in the jungle in the first place!
Syllable!
But this time, there was an accident.
The pain was severe, and Maz suddenly felt his wrist being clamped down on with a force, and the dagger fell directly to the ground.
"It's a good determination, but it's a pity ......"
Fang Yuan sighed, his wrist straining slightly.
Click!
There was a piercing sound of cracking bones.
Immediately, Maz screamed and fell to the ground, almost fainting from the pain.
"Rick ......"
After doing all this, Fang Yuan turned his head and looked at the other little friend who was almost stupid: "Do you want to be like him?" ”
"No!"
Rick shook his head tremblingly.
"Very good...... Then tell me all about it! ”
Fang Yuan glanced around.
Even though Lune's cabin is on the edge of town, this situation is still easy for outsiders to see, and it must be resolved quickly.
"It's because of an inheritance, the Chorah Knight from Shawshank Collar!" Rick looked at the dagger on the ground, swallowed his saliva, and said quickly: "The family of the knights of Jorah died of the plague, and the other heirs in line to the throne also suffered misfortunes, so it is your turn!" It's true...... Soon you'll receive the inheritance papers, so Maz urged me to do it! ”
"A knight's legacy?"
Fang Yuan touched his chin.
A fighter is a transcendent class, but a knight is a nobleman!
They were the equivalent of high-ranking samurai of the feudal monarch, and in time of war, they needed to bring their own armor mounts, and even follow the feudal lord to fight, and in return, they often had a manor as a fief, and if the feudal monarch could not give the fief, they had to pay a generous annuity compensation.
Generally speaking, knights had their own estates, and at this time, most of them were self-sufficient, even producing olive oil and wine to sell for profit.
Not to mention, once you become a knight, it means that you have entered the ruling class, even if it is only the lowest rank, and your status has changed immediately.
At this time, such temptation can indeed make many people disregard the danger and conspire.
"Am I eligible to succeed as a knight?"
Fang Yuan shook his head, feeling a little ridiculous, and suddenly, his face was a little solemn.
Lune's parents left him no legacy, but the status of a freeman was beyond the reach of many commoners in this era.
Not to mention...... This Lune's mother seems to have some aristocratic blood, although it is very thin......
Even the barons and counts can't divide the territory in their hands indefinitely, so it is possible for those concubines to find their own livelihood, work as stewards for other nobles, or become knights' servants, not to mention concubines and the like.
In such an environment, it is not impossible for a knight's blood to pass on to a free people's family.
"Just ......"
Fang Yuan shook his head: "This kind of relationship is already very thin, separated by three generations...... It will actually fall on my head, how many unlucky people have died in front of me? ”
He estimated that with his own bloodline, he would be glad to be ranked eighth or ninth in line.
But now, the gift package actually fell from the sky and still smashed on his head, which means that the other heirs in front of him have all died?
"The water in here is unfathomable!"
Fang Yuan felt a chill and immediately continued to ask.
This Rick is not as good as Maz, and immediately confessed everything, to the effect that the heir behind Fang Yuan paid a lot of money to buy his life in order to obtain the knighthood!
'A position that I avoided and was a fool trying to sit on...... Of course, it is also possible that he is the real culprit behind the scenes, but this is too unlikely......
If the other party really has this kind of secret energy, it will be easy to get a knight leader no matter where he is, and there is no need to make such a big move.
"Trouble is coming......
Fang Yuan sighed lightly, but he wasn't really afraid.
His character has always been that he has come and is at ease.
What's more, the deeds of that Chorah knight also aroused his little interest.
"Before that, though, you'll have to deal with these two troubles first!"
Fang Yuan thought about it, escorted Maz and Rick, came to the town, and found the previous mayor.
"Ah, it's Rune, why are you here?"
The mayor's name was Mischel, and when he saw Fang Yuan and the three of them coming, especially Maz's tragic situation and the dagger, a trace of surprise flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"I'm going to sue these two for murdering a knight's heir!"
Fang Yuan immediately said loudly.
"Murder of nobles? Where is that victim? ”
Immediately Mischul jumped to his feet, which was different from the nature of a free man.
"The victim is me!"
Fang Yuan pointed at himself.
Although he did not receive the documents, the Dream Master could distinguish the true from the false, and he naturally knew that the two were not lying.
At this time, there is nothing to borrow the tiger skin first.
"You...... Knight heir? ”
Mishol felt his head get a little dazed.
After all, it was already surprising that Rune, Maz, and Rick, who were originally good friends, brought the two of them over at this time to sue for murder.
And Lune even claimed to be the heir of the knights, which is even more surprising.
"Yes, I will inherit the Jorah Manor led by Shawshank!"
Fang Yuan's words were conclusive, but he sounded a little ashamed: "And these two people, in the forest, actually tried to murder me, just now, they carried out another despicable conspiracy!" Attempt to assassinate me a second time! ”
“…… I see, Guardsman! ”
Mishole looked at the dagger, called two militiamen, and took Maz and Rick down first: "No matter what, this is a case of murder of free people, I will continue to investigate, and you, Rune, I will confirm the truth of the matter, you can't leave Blue Moon Town until the case is concluded!" ”
"Of course!"
Fang Yuan agreed.
Although I know that from now on, eighty percent of them will also have militia to monitor themselves, but it doesn't matter at all.
His original intention was to dump these two people to the town to deal with, and then use the channel of the town office to help him find out the truth of the Knight of Chorah's legacy.
Anyway, after the news spread, would the mastermind behind the scenes dare to continue his conspiracy?
Fang Yuan was looking forward to this.
Of course, if in the end, you find that everything is an oolong, then there is nothing to say, just pat your ass and leave.
After all, he is not the real Lune, and he has no sense of belonging to this identity.
Even better, Rune's friends and family are almost gone, and they can be said to have no worries, and they can go on a trip at any time.
"A knight...... Hehe......"
After returning to his wooden house, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't want to cause trouble yet...... But the materials are intricate, and one after another...... Could it be that this is also a counterattack by the world's subconscious? ”
"Once the catastrophe is coming, blindly avoiding it is only the next policy, and we should take the initiative to respond to the catastrophe in order to find a way to dispel it. Seemingly...... I'm going to fight for that knighthood. ”
……
On this night, many people are destined to not be able to sleep peacefully.
In the town office.
Wearing a pair of round glasses, Mischul looked at the official document under the oil lamp, and after a long time took it off and rubbed his brow.
In fact, Maz and Rick are not very powerful characters, and they don't even have to be tortured, and they confess everything when they are scared.
The ins and outs of the matter are already very clear.
Even, even the matter of the knight of Jorah, he had heard about it and knew what happened to the other party.
Therefore, these two people can indeed be said to be conclusive evidence, and the crime of murdering a nobleman can definitely send them to the gallows.
But how can things be that simple?
Looking at this confession, Mishole couldn't wait to slaughter them directly.
"The mastermind of all this is the merchant Owen? He's a close friend of the Baron...... Could it be that there is still the will of the Baron behind all these things? ”
It was with this in mind that Mischler was slow to make up his mind.
Even, I wish I could stay away from this muddy water, the farther away the better!
"Mayor Mare, Pastor Torello is here!"
Just then, a servant knocked on the door and brought news of another uninvited guest.
"Oh my God...... Wouldn't he even wait a night's time? ”
Mischul lamented, and then he was invited to the hall with a false smile on his face: "Lord Priest, you have come just in time, and I have ordered someone to prepare your ...... for your reward."
"Actually...... I'm not here for pay! ”
A smile hung on Torrelo's lips: "It's you, the town lord, who seem to be in some trouble?" I don't know if I can help you? ”
