Chapter 9: Adam's Dilemma

"Maybe it's because evil has evil retribution, since this Adam disappeared, his relatives have suffered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The coachman poured a jar of wine into his stomach, his face was drunk red, and without Wu Ming's words, he told everything he knew with his big tongue.

"Just last month, the old Baron Gilbert Sr, an adopted son of the Elder, Andrew Gilbert, died of a serious illness. This Baron Andrew was much better than Adam, not only knowledgeable, but also never disturbed the people. I heard that as soon as he inherited the title, he beat the slave who had accompanied Adam to death and ordered no one to come forward to search for Adam's whereabouts. ”

Wu Ming frowned and asked, "Adam's sister doesn't care about such a thing?" ”

Adam's sister Sally is the concubine of the Barton family, although the status of the concubine is not high, but with the status of the Barton family in You Whale Town, as long as he comes forward to say a few words, Andrew will not dare to be so arrogant.

"Sister? She couldn't manage it if she wanted to. The coachman seemed to be smiling, his face was strange, and Wu Ming suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, the coachman gloated: "This Miss Sally is miserable, not long after Adam's disappearance, she died in Barton's house for no apparent reason, and it is said that no one has seen her body yet." ”

Wu Ming was silent, what happened to this young master Adam can really be called retribution, he disappeared without a trace, and those who were a little closer didn't end well, the so-called family ruin and death were nothing more than that.

The coachman drank high and began to speak: "I don't know the specific situation during this period, but I have heard that this matter has something to do with Young Master Sark, the only son of the great general of the empire. As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice and made a mysterious appearance, "According to rumors, not long ago, Young Master Sax came to the town on an errand, and fell in love with Adam's sister Sally, and wanted to bring her back to the mansion as a maid. It stands to reason that the status of the young master's maid of the general is no worse than that of a viscount and young master's concubine, but Narissa just swore to die, and immediately angered Young Master Sak, the consequences, hehe......"

The coachman deliberately sold a pass, and when he saw Wu Ming's solemn face, he continued, "I heard from the servants in the Patton Mansion that the whole mansion was filled with the woman's screams that night, and Adam's sister was tortured to death by Young Master Sark!" ”

Wu Ming was shocked, he didn't expect that the general and young master Sark would be so heartbroken, and torture an innocent woman to death because of such a small matter.

"It's okay if you're dead, so far the Barton family hasn't handed over Lisa's body, and they haven't even erected a tombstone." The coachman shook his head and smiled, "Who knows what these filthy guys are doing with the corpse of a beautiful woman, speaking of which, some nobles' habits are ridiculous now, and that young master Sax may be interested in corpses......"

"Alright, don't say it!" Wu Ming almost choked himself to death with a sip of wine, and hurriedly stopped the coachman from continuing.

The coachman's face was regretful, and he was talking about the excitement, and he felt a little unfinished.

Wu Ming no longer spoke to the coachman, but turned his gaze to the busy street, observing the crowd of passers-by, while thinking about how to gain a foothold in this Gilbert's house next.

After a long time, I heard the coachman's shout, and the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.

Ahead, a thick wall stood abruptly in front of them, and outside the wall stood a row of guards in silver armor, forming a strange landscape with the wall, dividing the street in front of them and the territory behind them into two worlds.

"In front of you is the private territory of the Gilbert family, brother, I can only send you here."

The carriage completely stopped moving forward when it was still a dozen steps away from the guards, and the coachman looked at the row of heavily guarded guards in front of him, turned around and said to Wu Ming tremblingly.

"Okay, thank you, big brother." Wu Ming nodded, left the unfinished half jar of wine in the car, and then turned over and got out of the car. He covered half of his face with a cedar hat and walked quickly into a dark and deserted alley, and then quickly switched roles.

In the next second, "Adam", wearing cloth clothes and pants and holding a wooden staff, walked out of the alley.

Wu Ming straightened his clothes for a while, and then strode calmly and silently towards the defense line formed by the silver guards.

"This is the barony's territory, and idlers are not allowed to trespass!" When the silver-armored guards on both sides saw Wu Ming approaching, they immediately pulled out the weapons on their waists, and in an instant, more than a dozen shining swords were pointed at Wu Ming's chest.

His heart pounded violently twice.

At this time, should we continue to remain silent, or should we directly and arrogantly report the name of Adam?

Wu Ming thought for a while, and chose to continue to move forward in silence, whether he was really Adam or not, and he didn't know what kind of temper the young master Adam had on weekdays, it was better not to speak at this time, so as not to let people see the flaws.

Thinking so in his heart, Wu Ming's right hand subconsciously inserted into the pocket of the cloth, and relying on the cover of the cloth, he quickly took out the wooden staff given by the system from the system backpack. If these soldiers really didn't use their swords to cut them down, he couldn't stand still and let them slaughter, right?

Fortunately, Adam did have some fame in this cloud collar, and there were still people among the soldiers who recognized him.

"Stop, this is Master Adam!" Several old guards saw Wu Ming's face, and hurriedly shouted, and the guards who blocked the road heard that they collected their swords, stood straight on both sides of the road, and watched Wu Ming enter the wall from the main gate.

It wasn't until Wu Ming's figure completely faded away that a few guards who couldn't bear it began to whisper.

"This is the third son adopted by the old baron, Young Master Adam?"

"Hasn't he been missing for months?"

"Yes, there has been no news for months, why did he come back at this time?"

"Tsk, if I were him, I'd rather die outside than come back! My sister was tortured to death, but he could only watch the murderer get away with it, and no one had the face to stay any longer. A well-informed guard gloated.

"What are you talking about, shut your beaks!"

The captain of the guards, who was standing at the forefront, shouted and cursed, and all the guards closed their mouths and continued to stand outside the fence like stakes, watching the passers-by.

"Hey, ask for more blessings." After the captain of the guards finished scolding, he turned his head to look at Wu Ming's back that was gradually moving away, and sighed silently in his heart.
