Chapter 52: You take a few lashes from me
Cheng Nuo turned his head to look at the mayor who was also a little stunned: "Is it that from now on, all his property, including what house, furniture, land, and this person, will belong to Belle's family?" Are there any other formalities that need to be done? β
"There's no formality," Belle's father squeezed over, looking at Gaston with hatred and disgust in his eyes, "Just go to the town and register directly." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Belle's father is not a fool, and after today's incident, of course, he can understand the cause and effect of why he fell into danger.
"So convenient?" Cheng Nuo looked at Gaston: "So, he will soon become your family's... Slave? β
Belle's father's eyes flashed with a little complication. Obviously, Cheng Nuo guessed correctly this time.
If you really don't die, you won't die, and the property, including people, is still strongly requested by Gaston himself. He had set his sights on Belle, but now he had put himself in.
And the amount of money is too large for anyone to lend to Gaston, including the mayor.
In fact, after coming to his senses, the mayor has slowly withdrawn from the central position. Whether the townspeople's speculation about Cheng Nuo's identity is true or false, the mayor will not act rashly until Cheng Nuo's true identity is known.
"Don't do that, Movis," Gaston cried, "I don't mean it, I just like Belle too much..."
If before Cheng Nuo stands up, even if Belle's father will be whipped, as long as Belle agrees, when the raw rice is cooked and cooked, this excuse can be established.
Cheng Nuo compares his heart to heart, Gaston's purpose is to coerce Belle to marry him, and of course he will not really beat her father to death.
In fact, after Cheng Nuo infiltrated and came in, Belle almost conceded defeat to Gaston several times, but was stopped by Cheng Nuo, so that Gaston had no chance to sell well.
"Believe me, I didn't even think about hurting anyone," Gaston said, "Movis, you see, you're not okay now, are you?" Belle is fine, this stranger is okay, isn't it nice that everyone is okay? β¦ We made so many neighbors, you and my father and mother knew each other well, and I remember the first time I went out hunting, you gave me a pair of leather boots. β
Belle's father was stunned.
"Belle," Gaston said then to Belle, "you know how much I like you, it's been the same since I was a child, so many people like me, but you're the only one I want to marry... In fact, even if you lose, I will not take away your family's property, not a single copper coin. β
Gaston is indeed a flexing personality who selectively forgets what he wants Belle to do after the game is determined.
Belle bit her lip and didn't speak.
"Needless to say, Gaston," Belle's father stepped forward, "I don't care what you did to me, for the sake of your dead father..."
"But I told you that Belle was locked up by the beasts, and not only did you not help, but you also set a trap to force Belle to marry you..."Belle's father continued: "Belle has escaped now, but what if she doesn't?" β
"Is there a beast?" Gaston for a meal.
"Do I have to lie to you by now?" Belle's father said angrily.
"That's not what I meant," Gaston's tone softened immediately, "Actually, I believe you, I was going to wait for Belle to agree and then take someone to check it out... I'm telling the truth. β
Belle's father wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed: "Forget it, I don't have anything to say now... I don't want you or your property..."
Gaston's face shone with a hint of joy.
"But the premise is that you can get this gentleman's forgiveness..."Belle's father gestured to Cheng Nuo, and continued: "After all, the bet was between you and this gentleman, you can solve it yourself." β
Belle turned her head to look at Cheng Nuo.
Gaston turned to Cheng Nuo: "This gentleman, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us..."
"Needless to say," Cheng Nuo looked down at the X-shaped whip marks on his chest: "If you want me not to pursue it, you can do it... You hit me a few times, just let me come back. β
Gaston's face changed.
The townsfolk glanced at each other, and it felt like a very reasonable request.
"Don't dare?" Cheng Nuo looked at Gaston: "Didn't you say that you are the most courageous person in this town?" β
"You're kidding," Gaston tried to hide his resentment, "I'm not as capable as you..."
"This sentence is true," Cheng Nuo nodded: "With your inferior character, you really can't become a real warrior." β
Gaston lowered his head, his fists clenched.
Cheng Nuo didn't seem to see it: "In this way, I don't need this iron whip... How about using the leather whip at the beginning? β
Gaston's eyes lit up: "Really? β
"Of course, you think I don't count if I talk like you do?" Cheng Nuodao.
Gaston no longer cared about the sarcasm in Cheng Nuo's words, and asked: "Only hit the upper body?" β
"Yes..."Cheng Nuo nodded: "However, let me put it in front, these four whips are equivalent to 1,000 gold coins, if you can hold one whip, you will subtract 250, if you can hold two whips, you will reduce 500, if the four whips are all supported, all 1,000 gold coins will be written off." But if you don't survive a whip, don't blame anyone else. β
Gaston thought for a moment and nodded fiercely.
"Let's get started." Cheng Nuo turned around and walked towards the execution position, and everyone immediately dispersed.
Gaston looked at the crowd around him, gritted his teeth, and walked to the torture rack. Then learning from Cheng Nuo's appearance just now, he also refused the request to tie his hands, grabbed the ring with both hands, and rushed towards Cheng Nuo with his head.
"Okay," Cheng Nuo gave a thumbs up: "Tough guy!" β
"Gaston, you're still wearing leather armor." One of the townsfolk shouted.
Gaston blushed, he had deliberately pretended to forget about it.
"It's okay..."Cheng Nuo waved his hand to show that it didn't matter, took the whip and measured it to himself, and tried it. Fortunately, Yan Zhendong's family has a martial arts tradition, and he also has a dabbling in soft weapons, although he is not very smart, but he can hit it.
Gaston breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared fiercely at the troublemaker.
Cheng Nuo picked up the leather whip and put it in the bucket, waited for a while, and turned to look at the mayor.
The mayor was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses for a moment, took a step forward with a dry cough and shouted, "Begin!" β
"Then I'll start..."Cheng Nuo took out his whip and looked at Gaston with a smirk.
"Come on!" Gaston let out a snort and stepped forward.
Cheng Nuo smiled, lifted the whip, and with a stroke of luck, he whipped straight at Gaston's chest. If Gaston's last whip is whistling with the wind, Cheng Nuo's whip has a hidden sound of wind and thunder.
