When this kind of thing happens, it's natural to go and see it. Charlotte and the others hurriedly got up and followed Master Moxi to the scene to check. Of course, Charlotte and the others are not only kind, but as outsiders, they should not leave the sight of Lord Moxi, so that they can eliminate suspicion. The second is that as an adventurer, there is trouble to prove that you have to make money.

Wherever there is trouble, this is the basic rule of adventurers.

When the crowd arrived, it was a muddy slope. Originally, the scene was very messy after the rain, and these townspeople did not have the awareness to protect the scene, so the whole scene was very messy.

A headless corpse, dressed in more modest clothes, fell in the muddy water. The muddy ground was sprinkled with blood, and the places around three steps away were all trampled on mud footprints, which were worthless.

According to Charlotte's observations, the blood was scattered all around, sprayed very evenly. It looked like he was unprepared, standing there and having his head cut off, and the body didn't even have time to fall. The blood in the neck cavity gushed for several feet, sprinkled around, and finally the body fell.

Charlotte opened her senses and observed, there were messy footprints everywhere, and there was no more valuable information.

Master Moxie covered his nose with a handkerchief, approached and examined the corpse carefully. Judging by his face, I am afraid that it is indeed the tax collector himself. Don't talk about this Lord Moxie's guts, it's really not bad.

After a while, an old hunter was invited, he carefully examined the hands and feet of the corpse, and then nodded at Master Moxi, and said with a bitter face: "It is indeed the tax officer Dill!" ”

Master Moxie was still holding on to luck, but now he has to admit that trouble is indeed coming.

This disgusting tax officer, Diere, although he has a lot of things to do, is often looking for trouble. But speaking of which, it's not bad, and it's not too tax-harsh. Now that he's dead in Terry, with his head cut off, I'm afraid he's going to have to give King's Landing a plausible reason.

The people next to him chattered to Lord Moxie and several other people in the town to tell what had happened.

He started as a farmer and was the first to find a corpse on the ground. When the rain stopped, he was about to have a drink in the tavern, when he saw a headless corpse lying in the mud on the way.

The scene was surrounded by people in three circles, and the crowd whispered the curse of the Headless Horseman. They claim that the Headless Horseman could never find his head, so he would wander the wilderness, cutting off the heads of everyone he came across, until he found his head.

Now the shortcomings of the lack of a priest in the town are visible. If there is a priest, you can come out at this time to calm people, and if there is a temple and a priest in the town, everyone will not be so afraid of a headless horseman.

"Curse of the Headless Horsemann! I don't believe it. I'm afraid that some people had bad intentions, or had a grudge against the tax collector, so they took advantage of the heavy rain to kill him, and cut off his head, disguised as a headless horseman. We must find him out sooner rather than later and hand him over to King's Landing, or we'll be in big trouble!" ”

Master Moxie scanned the crowd around him with fierce eyes, as if he wanted to kill the unknown murderer in the crowd with his eyes.

His eyes were vicious, his brows were furrowed, and the fat on his cheeks trembled slightly, and he could see that he was gritting his teeth so much.

At this time, Master Moxi is not as pleasant as usual, and he looks kind and lovely.

That's who he is...... How can a landlord who can become a landlord with a large area of land in just twenty or thirty years from a commoner?

The accumulation of capital is a bloody and cruel .......

When this kind of thing happens, how can the town be calm, everyone is panicking, but this has little to do with Charlotte.

The elder brother is still in a hurry to go home, and Charlotte is also in a hurry to build the sword of the Brotherhood, and he really doesn't want to wade into this troubled water. Whether it was really the Headless Horseman who did it, or if someone killed someone and faked the scene, they didn't want to be involved.

However, Charlotte still wondered if Master Moxie had said a question: why did this tax collector run outside in the heavy rain?

As a result, Lord Moxie awkwardly told Charlotte one thing, it turned out that the tax collector had a little illicit relationship with a widow in the town, so he ......

Dinner was eaten by Charlotte herself, for Master Mo never returned.

In the evening, Charlotte and the others packed up and prepared to leave the next day. However, Lord Moxi came to him, hoping that Charlotte and the others could stay and help investigate the matter.

"Mr. Charlotte, I know that you are all people with great abilities, and you should not have bothered you with such a trivial matter. But as you can see, the tax collector was beheaded in the town, and the future of the entire town of Terry is at stake. If we go to Lincheng to blame it, we really can't afford it! ”

Without waiting for Xia Luo and them to speak, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I understand the rules." I will definitely not let you help in vain, no matter what the outcome is, we are willing to give you 20 big golden dragons to thank you! ”

20 big golden dragons, that's not a small number! For such a backward town, it can be said that it is very sincere to be able to take out 20 big golden dragons.

I'm afraid that half of these 20 big golden dragons were produced by Master Moxi. He was the largest landowner in the town, and his daughter was a merchant in King's Landing. If this incident makes King's Landing pregnant, it will be their family that will have the greatest impact.

But the 20 golden dragons are no longer in Xia Luo's eyes now, how can they delay the trip because of such a small amount of money?

But the mouth of the eater is short, and the hand of the man is short. I stayed in someone's house for two days with good food and drink, and now they are in trouble and ask for help. Charlotte: It's really hard for them to refuse.

While Charlotte was thinking about his words, the old servant rushed in again, and he cried out, "Oh no! Sir, someone is dead again! Or beheaded! ”

Master Moxi's face was extremely ugly now, and he didn't say a word, pushed the door and ran out. Charlotte, you look at me, I look at you, and finally choose to go to the scene with them.

It was just an afternoon after the rain, and the roads were still so muddy.

A headless corpse fell to the ground, blood spurting everywhere. A half-grown boy, covered in mud, shrunk to the side, shivering. His face was pale, his lips kept shaking, and he was in a state of panic.

This time, Lord Moxie was the first to get the news, so by the time Charlotte and the others came, the surrounding scene had not been destroyed.

The body in the linen robe fell to the ground, and it was clearly visible that there was a row of horseshoe prints around him......

Charlotte opened her senses and noticed that there was an unusual color on the horseshoe prints, a drifting gray that stood out in the blurred vision.

It was already completely dark, and everyone was surrounded by torches. The long string of horseshoe prints is so dazzling, as if stepping on people's hearts, making people shudder.

Master Moxi grabbed the big boy by the hem of his coat and dragged him over, and he asked viciously, "Were you next to you when the clerk died?" How did you see how he died? Say! Who did it? ”

The boy was already scared enough, and he was so tormented by Master Moxi that he almost fainted without rolling his eyes.

Seeing this, Xia Luo hurriedly persuaded: "Master Moxi, don't worry about it first. Let him speak slowly, and tell all the details. ”

Master Moxie suppressed his anger and let go of the boy. Charlotte used communication to reassure the boy and ask, "Don't be afraid, it's safe here." Now say everything you see, and no one will blame you. ”

The boy was reassured by Charlotte, and his condition stabilized a little. He stared at the headless corpse on the ground in horror, and said intermittently, "Me and the old man...... Always at the sheriff's house...... They're talking about Tax Officer Deere! ”

Then he swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "When it gets dark, I will accompany the old man to go back...... Suddenly, suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves! There's no one riding a horse in this town? Just when I turned around! A dark shadow scurried over, and then, the headless body of the old man fell to the ground......"

"Bastard! Don't you see who did it? Saying that, Master Moxi was about to arrest the boy again, but was stopped by Charlotte.

"Don't be afraid. No one will hurt you. Now tell us, what does that dark shadow look like? Do you recognize him? ”

The boy's face turned paler, and he shook his head, "I—I see it...... It's the Headless Horseman, it's the Headless Horseman who did it! He also stuck his sword in the master's head, and then rode away. I saw him stick the old man's head in his head......"

Charlotte looked at the marks on the ground, but there was a dent that had been pressed down......

Could it be that the Headless Horseman is real? Or did someone carefully fake the scene?
