Chapter 254: Confession is not necessarily lenient
Yes, that's right! ”
Harlan blurted out almost without even thinking about it.
But when Talos saw that he answered so simply, he turned to a skeptical look, and looked up and down at Harlan, who was too honest about the rebellion.
"Believe me, Lord Tar, what I just said is true. If you don't believe me, I can go to Lord Mande and ask him to find out all about it. ”
Inside the cell, one of Harlan's hands had already turned white from the joints clenched by the exertion.
Although his emotions were not as excited as they were when he first met Talos, the fierce desire to get out of here, or even save his life, had not diminished in the slightest.
"It's not that I don't believe your words, it's just that why did you take the initiative to tell me this, but I didn't ask you anything from beginning to end......"
Talos leaned back in his chair, one hand propped up his chin, and said unhurriedly.
He has always had little patience for interrogating prisoners, and he is even more reluctant to touch such 'dirty things'.
But compared to those prisoners who bite the iron mouth and deny it, Harlan's tricks are too painful, and the person who shakes everything together is even more suspicious.
"I, I just don't want to die...... Now that His Excellency Dürer is missing, and I am in the hands of Your Excellency, it is better for me to say it all now, and I only ask His Excellency Tal to spare my life. ”
Harlan burst into tears when he spoke, where is there still an image of half of the head of the Senate Cabinet.
In the quiet cell, the occasional crack of the flame burst out when the candle burned to the end.
Talos didn't speak, just listened silently to Harlan's confession, dissociating himself from Dürer and creating for himself the appearance of an innocent victim, forcibly implicated, and a pitiful person.
But although his ears were still listening, Talos's thoughts had already drifted far and wide at this time......
Dürer.
He repeated the name in his mind.
If what Harlan said is true, then those people in the Senate who are openly and secretly enemies of themselves and always make things in the way have a reasonable explanation for their behavior.
Merely......
As early as a year ago, Dürer began to plan for himself, and secretly made money to countless important ministers of the Senate.
Some of them, even those who had just done so, had been named by Harlan, who knew that the old men had already taken refuge in Dürer.
But such a plan that was originally precise, as long as it took as much time as it took to gradually hollow out the senate, could finally achieve the goal, but because of this peace, it was completely disrupted.
The money that was secretly transferred by Harlan and taken away like an ant moving. It has already reached the amount of one, enough to raise a small army.
But who would have thought that it was such a large amount of money, and Durer chose to use it as the final blow to overwhelm Talos.
Now, those things that were originally clueless and could not be connected have finally come to you with a reasonable explanation after Harlan's narration.
The ruins of the northern Hebei forest, at that time, Du Le could obviously get rid of himself without any intention of fighting back.
Now it seems that it is not a so-called bad taste at all, but that Durer has been waiting for the arrival of witnesses and the most important role in this scene, Harlan.
Although Harlan did not know these details, the more he unknowingly came across that scene, the more he could testify at the Senate and describe how he Tartarus had colluded with the Demon Envoy and almost killed the 'innocent' Lord Dürer.
"Heh......"
Thinking of this, Talos burst out laughing.
Harlan saw the other party's cold smile, and he didn't know what the meaning was, but he continued to speak, trying his best to convince Talos that he was innocent and could stand on Talos's side without reservation.
"Your Excellency Tarr, give me a chance......"
"It's not that I don't give you a chance, it's just that this matter is not something I can decide unilaterally. If what you say is true, then wait until tomorrow, when I take you to Lord Mande, and then make a decision. ”
With that, Talos slowly got up and walked out of the dungeon.
"Lord Tár!"
Harlan still didn't give up, and continued to shout.
After all, what kind of person is His Excellency Mande, no one in the Senate will know.
If he knew, during this year, although the Senate was calm on the surface, there were so many people inside, led by Dürer, secretly calculating Talos, and planning how to elevate Mande and push him down from the position of manager.
Then Mande had to eat them alive on the spot, where could he have a chance to live?
But just as Harlan was screaming desperately, Talos, who had already walked outside the door, suddenly stopped.
Harlan thought he had hope, and immediately changed his face to a flattering look, "Young Master Tár, as long as you are willing to let me live, all the money I leaked from the accounts can be handed over to you......"
"Oh? Give it all to me? ”
"Yes!"
Harlan had a flattering face.
"But Your Excellency Harun, in order to prove your innocence and the truth of what you said, you were willing to go to the Senate to correct you, but now you don't even want the property in order to avoid it?"
Talos didn't look back, he just stood where he was, with his back to Harun.
People can neither see his expression at the moment, nor can they figure out his psychology and intentions from it.
"Oh my Lord Tar, didn't I say that out of the sake of loyalty because I was afraid that you wouldn't believe it......" At this moment, Harun was about to cry in a hurry.
"Okay, then I'll ask you one last question. If I really hand you over to the Senate, you will tell you what you know, as you did just now. Or will you suddenly bite me back...... Well? ”
Talos turned back, his piercing eyes meeting Harlan's reluctance gaze.
It was an almost crushing aura.
With just one glance, Harlan was stunned on the spot as if someone had choked him.
His gaze evaded, and for some reason, he didn't dare to make eye contact with Talos.
Although Harlan was also a member of the Senate, he was not qualified to sit in the high-level council chambers.
In fact, many positions, to put it nicely, he is the head of the cabinet of the senate. But to put it bluntly, his identity is just a person in charge of money in the Senate.
The location has a beautiful view and holds a treasury.
But in fact, in addition to seeing a lot of money exchanges, and being able to do some unknown small actions from it, he doesn't even have a little life-saving skill and actual rights.
Therefore, because he did not know the high-level senators, he knew nothing about the methods of Talos.
But even if he hasn't been in direct contact, he has heard of Talos's ability.
Because of this, he didn't want to offend such people.
It's just that since he has chosen the olive branch thrown by His Excellency Dürer, how can it be so easy to get out of it now.
At this moment, Harlan was silent.
Originally, he just thought that Talos was able to step up to that height that others could not reach by relying on his own background and the power of the "ancestor" that he happened to inherit.
Now that this was a short encounter, he had already sensed that the danger of the other party had already far surpassed that of Dürer.
If Dürer is a snake hiding in the shadows, it will come out and bite you at any time.
Natalos, the lion on the cliff......
That kind of danger that is visible to the naked eye deters all those who try to get close. And never think about what you can take advantage of him, or try to harm him.
"My words, you have time to think about it. But the decision on what to do is up to you. ”
With that, Talos ignored Harlan and left him stunned, and after dozens of seconds, as if he had just woken up from a dream, he began to shout again, without looking back.
……
Leaving the dungeon, Talos looked at the already dark sky outside, and suddenly said, "You heard what you said just now......
