Chapter 67: History Is Too Slow
Who is the aristocrat who hired the killer?
Zhu Ping didn't know who the three on the stage were, but it was definitely Baron Peggy.
When the two fought, this person didn't even touch the corner of Zhu Ping's clothes, what ability did he have to cast "tracking magic" on Zhu Ping.
Besides, what qualifications does he have to make the Kingdom General take action.
Taking a step back, the Kingdom General is a knight, a "half-baron" who has just touched the tail of a nobleman.
But can the price of asking him to take the risk of assassinating a hereditary nobleman is small?
Does Peggy match it?
Although the general of the kingdom has been stabbed by Zhu Ping and cannot be identified, this guy Peggy can definitely be the first to rule it out.
The secret commander chooses one of the three...... Zhu Ping looked at the elegant three people in the upper hand, silent, secretly scheming in his heart.
Suddenly, Zhu Ping's thoughts were interrupted by a pig-like cry.
Peggy grabbed George's hand with both hands and yelled, "George, my old fellow, help me talk, I didn't send a killer to attack Hall, really didn't." ”
George closed his eyes, turned his head, and wrenched his own hand away from Peggy's grasp.
Seeing that George was indifferent, Peggy's tone became more and more sharp, and said, "It's really not me, my old fellow, you want to believe me, right?" ”
"Baron Peggy, what can't I prove to you?" George opened his eyes and said gentlemanly, "Sir Ben used to be friends with you, and he has advised you countless times not to be an enemy of Hall.
But you have never listened to Sir Ben, and even more than once stated that you want to assassinate Hall, and Sir Ben does not want to lie. ”
Peggy pointed at George with a stunned face, pointing at this old friend who had known him for decades, his steps kept retreating, his body swayed, and he couldn't say a word.
It is a sincere friendship between nobles.
Friendship equivalent to money power.
Then the disbelief on his face gradually turned into hatred, gritted his teeth and took his eyes away from George's body, shifted to Viscount Xiao Nong, and sincerely requested: "Lord Viscount Xiao Nong, I beg you to prove it for me. ”
"Sir Ben can't prove it to you." Xiao Nong responded without thinking.
"Viscount Xiao Nong, I am all the way with you! My strength is your strength, you have to help me! Peggy looked horrified.
But at this time, no matter how much he pleaded, Viscount Xiao Nong was indifferent.
That's when Peggy really felt what it meant to be alone.
I felt what it means to have a strong partnership between nobles.
Peggy hurriedly looked at Viscount Lin Zheng, the clothes on his body were already wet with cold sweat at this time, and he pleaded: "Viscount Lin Zheng, I hope you can prove to me that I didn't send someone to assassinate Hall." ”
Lin Zheng kept a smile on his face, shook his head, and did not speak.
Baron Peggy was so anxious that tears burst out, and he pleaded, "Viscount Lin Zheng, do you remember? My grandfather once saved your life! ”
"The grudge was paid off three days ago." Although Lin Zheng responded, he didn't look at Peggy, but took the opportunity to glance at the king and Xiao Nong, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
Peggy lost all her strength and sat limply on the ground.
He looked at George, who had been his best friend a few days ago.
He looked at Xiao Nong, a few days ago, this was still a great nobleman who could solve his troubles.
He looked at Lin Zheng, a few days ago, the other party could still give her what she wanted.
But today, everything has changed, and he feels that everyone is so strange, and everything is turned upside down from his memory.
The aristocracy's trial does not talk about evidence, only the connections, and no one proves it for him, then he is finished!
And then the time.
The king's housekeepers began to count Baron Peggy one crime after another.
In addition to the assassination of Zhu Ping, Peggy also had crimes such as beating servants, embezzling civilians' assets for no reason, secretly transferring funds for schools under construction, and forcibly opening a stinky ditch at the junction of upper and lower streets for the convenience of Peggy's Castle.
These culpabilities sound ridiculous.
For example, embezzling the assets of commoners and taking away public funds such as schools, which nobleman present has not done such a thing?
The aristocracy ate by squeezing the commoners.
Could it be that they hadn't done this?
Normally, the nobleman can accumulate wealth as if nothing happened, but when the nobleman loses his authority, all the sins will come to him and buckle him.
It can even be understood as pushing Peggy out and using him as a punching bag to calm the anger of the lower classes.
Peggy sat as if she was frightened, not admitting it, not refuting it.
The chief of the internal affairs who helped the king read the guilty indictment held a large scroll of great length, and it was estimated that it would take a long time to read it.
This means that the three Orlanton executives have already prepared the charges in advance.
The trial is nothing more than a formality.
Just when Zhu Ping was going to take a break in the boring time.
Viscount Lin Zheng's greasy voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "The main messenger behind sending someone to assassinate you is Viscount Xiao Nong." ”
Zhu Ping subconsciously glanced left and right, and saw that the people around him were unconscious, still yawning boringly.
In the end, he chose to look at Lin Zheng, and Lin Zheng happened to look at him at this moment, nodded and smiled, and quickly looked away.
It was a magic transmission just now!
"Why did Viscount Lin Zheng tell me about this, Viscount Xiao Nong sent someone to assassinate me, indeed! If it's him, there is enough motivation.
Because I have been fighting with Peggy non-stop recently, not only did Peggy get out of trouble, but also got into a relationship with the king and Lin Zheng, in a zero-sum game, this is equivalent to making Xiao Nong lose a lot of benefits. ”
Zhu Ping's thoughts turned, and he deduced that Xiao Nong was the main messenger behind the scenes as a known, and the overall logic became clearer.
"That's why Peggy was wrongly accused of being the one who sent the killer, and Xiao Nongque, as the head of the faction, didn't say anything.
If the killer is really from the Xiao Nong, then Peggy's trial should be the price he paid for breaking the rules.
Peggy is his scapegoat, taking his place as the commander of the hired killers. ”
This is a tacit understanding between the three nobles...... Zhu Ping forcibly lowered his head and did not look at the three people sitting on the stage.
"Lin Zheng told this news, and his goal was just to provoke my relationship with Xiao Nong......
No!
And that's not all!
Lin Zheng said that he could see the truth, and the deep meaning was that the king could also see the truth.
He is provoking the relationship between me and the king, and this may not be a provocation, but a conspiracy, because the king really has no warning, and secretly has other plans.
Sure enough, what the think tank bigwigs in their hometown said was not wrong at all, and all the nobles in Orlanton could not be trusted......"
Just as Zhu Ping was thinking.
The housekeeper finally finished reading the long scroll in his hand.
The king struck the small wooden hammer in his hand and said, "All the charges have been proven, and with immediate effect, Baron Peggy will be stripped of his hereditary title." ”
When the words fell, Baron Peggy glared at Zhu Ping and said with tears in his eyes: "Hall! You disgusting reckless man, it's all you, it's all you!
I'll kill you! ”
Say it! He had accumulated all the magic power in his body and wanted to condense it into a magic blast, apparently to give up his old life and die together.
It's a pity that he is not proficient in learning, and just before his magic explosion takes shape, three magic chains stretch out from the wands in the hands of the three nobles, locking towards his body, forming seals one after another.
The magic seal took shape in an instant.
Peggy's breath kept falling, and in an instant, he turned into an ordinary person, but he still crawled frantically towards Zhu Ping's location, and roared, "It's all you!" It's all you! Hall, I'm going to kill you! ”
"It's my business!" Zhu Ping crossed Erlang's legs and leisurely watched the other party struggling hard, and couldn't help but feel a little funny: "It's you who was slandered by others, you don't go to others for revenge, but transfer the hatred to me."
There is no one who will show the bullying of the soft and the afraid of the hard to this point! ”
Scanning the audience, the voices and smiles of all the nobles appeared in Zhu Ping's eyes.
This is the fragile friendship between the nobles, this is the pale friendship between the nobles, this is the ridiculous and pathetic interpersonal relationship between the nobles.
The aristocracy was supposed to be sludge that had been eliminated by the torrent of human development, but unfortunately these sludge had too many resources in their possession, which caused them to stubbornly cling to the human race.
The aristocracy will eventually be swallowed up by history...... Zhu Ping clenched his fists.
History is too slow!
He's seizing the day!
