Chapter 202: To the Misty Forest (9)
When the other villagers saw the shopkeeper's begging for mercy, they also begged for mercy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we really know that we are wrong, and we have no choice but to do so." The shopkeeper said pitifully with a bitter face.
"Yes, uncles, we are just some honest little villagers, give us another chance." Another villager also said with a handful of snot and tears.
Seeing everyone crying, Bai Ci couldn't make up his mind for a while, although he was not a good person, but he would not casually hurt some ordinary people who were powerless, after thinking about it, Bai Ci still moved his eyes to the judge, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Seeing Bai Ci's eyes, the judge nodded, made a gesture to me, and turned to the shopkeeper.
"You want us to let you go, so you recruited you from the beginning, why do you want to do this?" The judge said coldly, he is different from Bai Ci, he has not been a mercenary for a day or two.
Although this group of villagers looked pitiful with snot and tears, he deeply understood that there must be something hateful about the poor people, and some people are not worthy of casual sympathy.
After all, if it weren't for Bai Ling's vigilance, it was still unknown what they would become at this time.
Therefore, in the face of this group of people, the judge can harden his heart faster than Bai Ci, and he can also interrogate the other party more calmly.
"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper was shocked into a cold sweat by the judge's cold eyes, and hurriedly said, "Lord Hui, the villain was originally the village chief of the side village, but our village is too poor, many villagers are starving to death because of poverty, even if there are newborns, we can't feed them, female dolls are generally sold by us, male babies are reluctant to sell, but stay, we can't support them at all, so dependent, there are fewer and fewer people in our village, and in the end, there are only a few dozen of us left." ”
When the shopkeeper told this paragraph, many villagers silently shed tears, and it seemed that what the shopkeeper said was true.
The shopkeeper sighed and continued, "Later, by chance, when one of the fellows came out to look for food, he saw a team of men and horses borrowing here, and it looked like a team of merchants. ”
"Go on." The commander glanced at the shopkeeper and said in a cold tone.
"The villager went back to the village and told us about it, when we were crazy poor and hungry. When we heard that the other party was a group of businessmen, we had thoughts that we shouldn't have. The shopkeeper continued.
"At that time, I took more than 20 brothers with relatively neat skills, lurked in this deserted village, and then did not stop doing anything, robbed the team, and then ...... And then...... drove them into the Forest of No Return...... Oh, the Forest of No Return is what you call the Misty Forest, we thought, when we get to the Forest of No Return, whether they live or die, just let it be fate, after all, it is not a human life taken by our own hands, we will have some peace of mind......"
Before the shopkeeper's words fell, the commander sneered and said, "I don't kill Beren, but Beren died because of me, what is the difference between what you do and killing those people with your own hands?" ”
"This ......" the shopkeeper swallowed his saliva with a little weakness, and whispered his defense, "In fact, we are all afraid and regretful about doing this kind of thing, but I am the head of a village, and for the livelihood of the villagers, I can only be ruthless......"
