Chapter 296:-for-tat
Facing the incapacitated Wilma, Zhou Zhensheng wanted to go over and make up for it and kill him completely. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, Zhou knew he couldn't do that. Fame is a great tool and a drag. At this time, if Zhou Zhensheng really made up for the death of Wilma with one blow, Princess Sophie would definitely bear the charge of 'forcing the virtuous minister to death'. When the time comes, careerists everywhere will have a reason to rebel.
However, such an awkward time simply did not last long, and was broken by the belated Andrew. At this time, the two parties, who had never met on the surface, but had fallen into the point of death since the beginning, began their first face-to-face communication.
After Andrew's arrival, the pair of dark owl eyes first looked around at everyone present, but missed Wilma, who fell to the ground and fell into a coma.
"Guards, still don't you take your lord down?"
When Andrew said this, Sophie took advantage of the moment when he looked up slightly and saw his face clearly. The gray, bloodless face, the wolf-like eyes, the nose that makes people feel arrogant at first glance, and the extremely domineering cheeks that are emaciated all show the negative image of 'I am a bad person'.
It seemed to feel Sophie's gaze. The corners of Andrew's mouth hooked up a smile that made others look cold, and he crossed his hands and secretly threatened in a hoarse voice like an owl: "Presumably this is Her Royal Highness the Princess, right?" The Lord's Mansion is still safe, but if His Highness leaves the Lord's Mansion, no one can guarantee His Highness's safety! ”
The threat in Andrew's words can be heard by smart people. However, there is no reasonable evidence to accuse him, which makes Princess Sophie, who has been educated in the court since childhood, feel helpless.
Seeing that Sophie had suffered a loss in this regard, Zhou Zhensheng sighed secretly, but decided to come forward in person.
However, as soon as Zhou took the first step, Andrew's murderous voice echoed throughout the lord's hall.
"Don't take this man down yet? Although this man, with good intentions, kicked your lord unconscious. But to hurt someone is to hurt someone. If, your lords, have any aftermath from this blow, will you wastes be responsible? ”
Sophie, who was accustomed to the battle in the harem, immediately heard the hint in Andrew's words to the guards, this is the rhythm of leaving the warriors who protect them as scapegoats. In this regard, Sophie, who felt unbearable, immediately shouted with apricot eyes: "Who dare I think?" ”
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, I don't think His Royal Highness will ruin the reputation of the royal family because of such a person, right?"
Andrew's words are not poisonous, and he directly forced Sophie into a corner with words.
Watching Sophie grit her teeth, she had to protect herself no matter what. Zhou took advantage of Sophie's opening to speak, and said before she could pronounce it: "Is a sinner qualified to condemn others? ”
When Andrew heard Zhou Xuan's injury, his mind immediately turned. However, he was sure of one thing: the barbarian-like creature in front of him must not have known that he had killed the sentinel he had sent.
Andrew, who was so confident that he was conceited, never expected that his judgment was completely wrong. However, it was precisely because of this that he had the confidence to ask, "What do you mean?" Isn't it okay to pour dirty water on others in order to get rid of your own crimes? ”
"No, no, no, Mr. Andrew, your name has spread far and wide. Kenny Hag the barbarian, Jenny the witch, and your teacher all proclaim your 'great' deeds in your sea fishing books. I don't think you, as a real sinner, are you qualified to charge me with a trumped-up crime? To borrow a phrase from you, to hurt someone is to hurt someone. In the same way, a benefactor is also a benefactor. ”
Since Zhou Xuan said the whole sentence, the atmosphere in the lord's hall was condensed. Feeling everyone's gaze, Zhou Zhen, who was swaying on himself and Andrew, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued to persecute: "Moreover, I really need to wonder if it was a mistake to save Wilma." After all, you're coming out of the backroom. Does this show that he and you are really plotting a rebellion? ”
Andrew, who felt that everyone's eyes in the court were focused on him, said very indifferently: "If I guessed correctly, the crime they convicted me of was nothing more than fraud, right?" I don't think you need to trust a fraudster to discuss a rebellion with a lord, do you? What's more, murderers are more dangerous and untrustworthy than fraudsters, right? ”
The verbal confrontation between Zhou and Andrew directly refreshed the three views of everyone in the hall. As the most intuitive feeling in addition to the confrontation between the two, it is Princess Sophie. She didn't expect that this guy named Andrew, who was not a good person at first glance, would be so good at picking himself, and he would pick himself up in a few words. And in his words, it was revealed that others forcibly convicted him, and gave everyone a hint of 'I am innocent, he is the bad person'.
"A murderer? I guess the real murderer should be Lord Wilma, right? Is this kind of thing that he threatens with his own life to ruin the reputation of Her Royal Highness the princess, is it really something that a courtier should do? You can't be the one who instigated it, right? I think you're doing this to really rebel, right? ”
Secretly changing the concept, Zhou Zhixing is also very skillful. In addition, Zhou Zhan didn't find a trace of losing a black pot to Andrew.
Faced with the sharp-tongued and aggressive Zhou Xuan, Andrew frowned slightly, and began to whitewash Wilma: "Wen is dead, and Wu is dead." Lord Wilma is doing the business of a courtier, so how can he talk about rebellion? I suspect that you are trying to kill the lord of a land and make the royal family have a bad reputation. ”
Regarding Andrew's dying struggle, Zhou Zhensheng asked everyone in the hall without hurrying: "If I remember correctly, the eloquence of the fraudsters is quite good. So, Mr. Andrew, what reason do you think we people have to believe a fraudster? ”
Just as Andrew was about to open his mouth to argue, one of the guards held the lord's token and announced: "The lord has just woken up, saying that this is a misunderstanding, let's be sure to entertain his savior." ”
After reading it out, the guard took out a gold bag from his chest, handed it to Zhou and said, "My lord, in order to thank you for saving your life, let me hand over this gold pocket with a daily output of 1,000 gold coins to you. ”
Seeing Andrew, who was furious and faintly erupted, the guard relayed in front of everyone: "The lord said that he was confused for a while and almost trapped the princess in unkindness. When he is well, the lord will personally ask Her Royal Highness the princess for his guilt! ”
When the guards were exclusive, Andrew, who had gloomy eyes, didn't say anything more, just snorted coldly and turned into the back hall without looking back.
