Chapter 216: Ten Gold Coins

Suspicion is just suspicion, and in the absence of sufficient evidence, no one dares to say that Zhu Wen must be.

Everything has to be evidenced, just like Pura said that Natasha was no longer pure before she married her, and that the sheets on his hands were not red, which is the best evidence, and people believe this, so Natasha will suffer the fate of being burned to death.

But no one could come up with evidence of Zhu Wen and Natasha's affair, so although there were suspicious eyes around, no one jumped out and said that Zhu Wen was the man.

Defamation was a felony in the Dow Jones Empire.

The guards with torches around looked at Prosius, the priest, Prosius had just announced the result of the trial, Zhu Wen jumped out at this time, it was possible that he couldn't save Natasha at all, he was one step late, Natasha's life and death were between Prosius's thoughts.

Zhu Wen was also very nervous, he only knew that this old man was greedy for money, greedy for money does not mean bad character, it may also be an unspoken rule, so Zhu Wen didn't know how Prosius would decide.

Prosius looked at Zhu Wen and didn't speak, and there were many voices around him.

"Sacrifice to my lord, I am willing to atone for Natasha's sins!" Zhu Wen said it again, and after saying that, he took two more steps forward, and the sheriff Xiu Ta, who had been standing on the side and had been watching coldly, glanced at the guards who were gathered in a circle, and the guards made a way out of the way.

Zhu Wen immediately climbed up the pile of wood with both hands and feet, until he reached the side of Prosius on the platform above.

At this moment, Zhu Wen became the focus of the entire square, and the people who couldn't see Zhu Wen because of the perspective saw it at this moment, and the voice of discussion became louder, full of doubts and insults.

"Sacrifice to my lord, I am willing to atone for Natasha's sins." Zhu Wen said loudly, then immediately lowered his voice again, and said to Prosius in a voice that only two people could hear: "Lord Sacrifice, I estimate that your daughter's illness is not well, and I am willing to help your daughter afterwards."

Tempt. Zhu Wen knew that this old man was greedy for money, so he tempted him.

Prosius was expressionless, and a smile flashed in his eyes. It was in his arms, he didn't forget Zhu Wen, it was the young man who had hunted and killed the spirit fish, and he knew that Zhu Wen was rich. So just now he deliberately didn't speak.

Zhu Wen is also an extremely good person, although the two do not have too much language communication, but both sides know it.

Prosius finally spoke, looked at Zhu Wen and asked, "Why did you want to atone for her?"

"Because we're friends." Zhu Wen stretched his face, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. He knew that Prosius said so, and Natasha couldn't die today.

Sure enough, Prosius turned his gaze to the crowd below.

God is merciful, He loves every people who believe in Him, and it is not right to make mistakes, but he should also give those who make mistakes a chance to mend their ways, and any person's life is precious. It is not to be deprived at will. Prosius spoke at the same time. Waving his hand below, the guards who were ready to set the pile of wood on fire at any moment immediately straightened up and put away the torches.

Prosius turned his gaze to Zhu Wen again, and said, "I know you young man, you are the heroic hunter who once hunted the necromantic fish, your name is Richard, right?"

Zhu Wen nodded. Said: "It's down there."

"Then Mr. Richard, I ask you. Are you willing to pay a sum of money to atone for Natasha's sins when she made a mistake?" Prosius turned his body. Standing face-to-face with Zhu Wen.

The two looked at each other.

"I do!" Zhu Wen said sincerely.

Those three words again.

Yesterday, both Natasha and Praxiang said these three words to the wedding officer, and the two became an enviable couple.

Today, Prad said these three words to the wedding officer, tore up the marriage certificate, and the two dissolved their marriage.

Now, Zhu Wen said these three words to the priest Prosius, but he wanted to save Natasha's life.

"Okay." Prosius turned his gaze to Natasha as he spoke, and asked, "Natasha, are you willing to accept Richard's help from being burned at the stake, but become Richard's slave for the rest of your life?"

In the Dow Jones Empire, there was a detailed process of atonement, and criminals who were about to be burned at the stake had the right to refuse help.

This is also from a humanitarian point of view, because it was an event that shocked the empire 60 years ago that led to the change of this law.

At that time, in the Dow Jones Empire, there was a very well-known wealthy merchant in Boulder City, the largest city in the south, with countless family fortunes, this person was a complete pervert, who liked to torture and kill slaves, and every slave who came to his hands would not live for half a year at most, in the imperial law, slaves belonged to property and had no human rights, so this rich merchant would not be punished in any way.

This rich merchant is very fond of atonement for the crimes of prisoners on the execution ground, to put it bluntly, he directly spends money to buy death row prisoners from the Empire, and especially likes young and beautiful girls, almost every girl will be sexually abused to death in his hands, for a short period of one day, more than half a year.

The girls were spared the death penalty and bought by the wealthy merchant but suffered even more, and in the end they did not escape death.

Of course, no one in this world has sympathy for the girls who were about to be executed, but were eventually rescued, and there was no pity for their re-death, and the death of these girls was not the root cause of the change in the law.

But the real reason is that the rich merchant died, died at the hands of slaves, died in bed.

It is said that the slave was a very beautiful girl, who was about to be burned at the stake for making a mistake, and the rich merchant naturally did not let her go and atone for her sins, and the girl became the slave of the rich merchant, and then, one night, after a conversation with the rich merchant, she bit the rich merchant's throat with her teeth.

The girl committed suicide afterwards, and the killer was to be scraped, apparently she did not want to suffer that pain.

Later, people learned that the girl did it intentionally, and she planned it, and she did it on purpose when she made the mistake at the beginning, in order to kill the rich businessman, as for the reason, it was because of her sister, her sister was once sentenced to death for breaking the law, and was finally bought by the rich businessman and abused to death.

She's taking revenge.

After this incident, the whole country was in an uproar, which also led to the reform of the law in this regard, the death row prisoner could refuse help, and the rich would not atone for the death row prisoner on the execution ground at will.

Since Zhu Wen shouted "I am willing to help Natasha atone for her sins", Natasha's eyes have never left Zhu Wen's figure, she has thought a lot in her mind, maybe someone will atone for her, it may be a lustful hunter, it may be her own relatives, but she never thought that Zhu Wen would save her.

Zhu Wen's appearance made the light that quietly rose in her dim and dull world, and her already scarred heart finally felt a trace of warmth, and she suddenly felt that the world had not completely abandoned her, and God had not completely abandoned her.

"I ...... Willing! Natasha looked at Zhu Wen and said with tears of emotion in her eyes.

Hearing this, Prosius nodded slightly, and suddenly reached out and took out a slave contract from his arms, because atonement is a necessary process, and whether or not anyone saves Natasha in the end, he will take this slave contract with him, just in case he needs it from time to time.

He took out his pen again, scribbled some words on the slave contract, and then began to read aloud: "On November 2, 1oo2 of the Ninth Age, Natasha, an inferior citizen, will be burned at the stake for her crimes of infidelity, and Richard the hunter is willing to pay the price of ten gold coins to atone for Natasha, and Natasha will officially become Richard's slave for life."

After Richard finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Wen and said, "Once this contract is handprinted, it will have legal effect, now please Mr. Richard now hand over ten gold coins to the sheriff below."

Zhu Wen's face suddenly became ugly, he looked at Prosius, and said with difficulty: "Can you be less, I ......"

"Of course not." Prosius's face was not right, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "You won't ...... You don't have enough money, do you?" In Prosius's opinion, Zhu Wen, as a hunter who can hunt and kill spirit fish, must have more money than ordinary hunters, and ten gold coins should not be too much for him.

How did he know that Zhu Wen was an "outsider", and it had only been ten days since he arrived in this world, and the reward he received from the temple last time was all his belongings.

Now all of Zhu Wen's belongings are only more than six gold coins, for ordinary people, six gold coins is obviously a huge amount of money, but it is not enough to rely on these money to save Natasha.

"I ......" Zhu Wen spit out the word with difficulty, but he couldn't say it anymore, he turned his head to look at Natasha, and the light of hope that rose in Natasha's eyes was extinguished again.

"What to do? Money, money, money, where are you going to make money now?" Zhu Wen's thinking is like a motor, it starts to fly, to get money, and it has to be fast, Natasha can't wait at all.

Zhu Wen looked at some of the people below, and actually saw a lot of gloating eyes, all of them were Narah people, and they still wanted Natasha to die.

"Since you don't have enough money, please go down!" Prosius said as he tore up the written but useless slave contract, and with a stab, the slave contract had been torn to a corner.

"Wait! I have money, please wait a minute. Zhu Wen hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.

"Oh?" Prosius stopped his movements and spat out a questioning tone word.

"Can you wait for me, I'm going back to that restaurant, I'll be back soon, okay?" Zhu Wen pointed into the distance and looked at Prosius expectantly.

Prosius pondered for a moment and nodded: "Give you a quarter of an hour, if you can't bring the money within a quarter of an hour, Natasha will return to the arms of the gods to listen to the teachings."

"Good!" Zhu Wen nodded gratefully, jumped down from the pile of wood with a stride, and began to rush towards Qingyifang Restaurant frantically......
