Chapter 270: The Death of the Viscount
"Ding Zero~" the sound of the arm touching the cup.
The protruding voice aroused the killer's vigilance, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he realized that the man was just flipping his lower arm in a deep sleep.
Am I still too soft-hearted, he couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, in the past few years that he has been a killer, there have been a lot of souls under the knife, but he is undoubtedly not a traitor, a vicious bad guy, the scarlet of the night has not eroded his heart, but under the blade, it has become more and more pure.
Whether he was a good guy or a bad guy, but it didn't matter anymore, the killer laughed at himself in his heart, and from then on he could no longer do what he loved because of his hateful father.
Suddenly touching the softness of his heart, the killer was stunned for a while, and the footsteps outside were closer, and he controlled the silk under his feet, and his body slowly moved upward......
"What a waste!" "What a waste!" Quietly in the hall, a low male voice suddenly appeared, the killer who was about to retreat, his hair stood on end, and he didn't know when, the man in the chair next to Phyllis had woken up, his eyes were sharp, and a cruel smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
The killer's instincts told him that he wasn't a good man, and that now that the matter had been revealed, he had to start Plan B.
The killer let go of the silk on his feet, held the sharp blade in his hand, and lightly slashed his body through a graceful arc towards the man, seemingly a nirvana move but left half a point of vitality.
His goal was not to kill this man, as long as he could stun him in time, then things weren't too bad!
"The kindness of a woman, no wonder you don't dare to kill you, it won't be a woman!" The corners of the man's mouth curled more and more, and he spoke, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all.
Hand up and knife down!
A blood-stained head, after rolling a few laps on the table, slowly slashed across the floor, leaving a blinding red.
The killer's eyes widened, and the sudden scene made his head crash instantly, castrating him, twisting his waist and cutting an arc in the air, landing behind the man.
"Someone, there's an assassin!" the man threw away the dagger in his hand, which bounced off the ground a few times before landing at the killer's feet.
The guards outside the door were walking to the side of the hall, only a foot away from the entrance here, the people in the castle knew about Phyllis's banquet for Elder Gray tonight, and the Viscount had specially ordered them not to disturb without permission.
These guards didn't dare to get too close, but for the safety of the viscount, they actually never left the hall far, and the timely cry for help stimulated the nerves of these guards, and the two teams of guards twenty people scrambled to run in.
"When!" the dagger landed at the killer's feet, and the guards who arrived in time saw the striking head, wasn't that his own viscount, and the dagger on the foot of the man in black was not the murder weapon?
Whoever sees this will know what's going on!
"Arrest the assassin!" Elder Gray was shocked and angry, the expression on his face was just right, he suddenly jumped up from his chair, and then ran towards the door, shouting as he ran, "He killed the Viscount, help!"
The killer froze in place, he always felt like this
Something was wrong, he had witnessed Phyllis drinking with him before, and it looked like an old friend he hadn't seen for decades, and he suddenly burst out to kill, because of his cry for help, the guards happened to appear at the door, and the murder weapon was now lying at his feet.
There are human and physical evidence, but the viscount was not killed by him, even if he jumped into the Huangpu River, he couldn't get rid of the suspicion,, am I being yin?!
The cute killer finally reacted, but the guards at the door were all well-trained regular soldiers, and he was stunned, and when he figured it out, several bright broadswords had already slashed at him!
"Leave someone under the knife, this person can't be killed!" Fortunately, Gray's timely retention, the killer did not escape the end of being hacked to death by a knife, there was no escape, in front of the twenty fierce soldiers, his heels were weak, and he collapsed on the ground, and he confessed to the ......
——
The Atlantic Territory, with its innumerable people, had a clear division of status within the territory, and the upper class was the so-called aristocratic class, who enjoyed the superior benefits brought to them by the state while gnawing at the land like moths.
Although the commoners at the lower levels did not have so many resources and benefits, fortunately, the Duke of Atlanta was merciful and the taxes were very thin, so that the commoners could live without starving to death.
The poorest are those who have been reduced to slaves, they have been deprived of all rights, they have not even been protected for human rights, they can only maintain their slave status for the rest of their lives, and even their wives and daughters will suffer, they will be cattle and horses all their lives, and they are not even as good as animals when they meet mean masters.
And one of the things that has been making a lot of noise recently is the assassination of Viscount Phyllis, in this unstable era, it is not normal to kill people, especially civilians and slaves who can't turn over.
But a nobleman, stabbed to death, this matter has alarmed the Duke of Atlanta, who is thousands of miles away, he has given a death order, be sure to take down the real murderer, no matter who it is, nobles and commoners or slaves, as long as the real murderer is caught, he will get an extremely rich bounty, countless people smell the fragrance of this treasure, gather here, the comfortable and peaceful environment is broken, and the surging tide secretly is becoming more and more out of control!
People die for money, birds die for food, nothing more than that!
The real culprit has obviously been caught, so why are they looking for the real culprit again, we have to look back to the night two days ago.
Gray stood behind the soldiers, and saw them catch the killer, and his heart became more and more excited, yes, there was no sadness, only the excitement of wealth at his fingertips.
He has been planning for this day for a long time, in fact, he can only blame himself for all this, in order to become a member of the White-clothed Sect is too enthusiastic, Gray was only ready to accept him as a member of the White-clothed Sect at first, a viscount's energy is not small, and he is so pious, I believe that the Bishop is happy to see it.
By chance, Phyllis had a drink with Gray in order to get close to him, and after getting drunk, he inadvertently revealed that his ancestors had left a large amount of wealth, which was so huge that even Gray was blushing, and then he was drunk, and Gray got all the information about this wealth, as the saying goes, the husband is not guilty.
Phyllis knew this very well, so he never revealed it to anyone else, okay
Coincidentally, after Gray learned the news, he moved his mind, of course, if he wanted to monopolize this wealth, the first thing he would do was to shut up Phyllis forever, and this matter could not involve himself.
The killer who sneaked in at night was undoubtedly the killer who received his task, but Phyllis didn't expect the killer to stop at the critical moment, which made Gray anxious and had to jump out of directing the play himself.
Seeing the soldier set up the killer, Gray felt indescribably proud, so he could only put his face on the floor and make a frightened appearance, and the strange eyes made the killer's heart furious.
Those soldiers didn't know the inside story, they didn't know much, but they knew that Gray was the guest of honor of the Viscount, and the status of the Elder of the White Sect also gave them a feeling of unattainability.
The adults of his own family were stabbed to death, and the adults are used to promiscuity on weekdays, and they have no wives and concubines, and he is the only one in charge of the family. Suddenly, these soldiers have no backbone, and the aftermath can only be handed over to Gray, who has the highest status......
"Peel off this assassin's mask and show me who is so bold as to assassinate the Viscount!" Gray is very skillful in acting on the spot, and this gesture is natural, as if this assassin had just killed Phyllis.
Only this person can't tell the truth, he believes that as long as he dares to tell the truth, he believes that the next moment will be his own death, Gray will not let this timed bomb bomb around him.
This unfavorable situation, there was only silence, the threatening meaning in Gray's eyes was self-evident, he didn't expect this killer to be so sensible, and in his joy, the guard ripped off the shield on his face with one hand.
The shield was torn off, and what Gray didn't expect was that it was a woman!
It is the most appropriate to describe it as a practical girl, with a childish appearance, a clean and fair face full of unwillingness, just looking directly into Gray's eyes.
"Hey, hey, she's still a big beauty!" Gray is more than fifty years old, and he has already passed the age of spring, but he is still amazed by this girl's appearance.
Gray suddenly felt his heart beat faster, as if he had returned to the feeling of meeting his first love when he was young, his strong concentration was still like this, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers were even more unbearable, and even worse, he looked at the girl with a confused face, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously kept a harass.
Wrong!
A strong sense of crisis made the spine of his back emerge with a puncture-like feeling, pulling him from the fragrant environment, sweating profusely, Gray was furious, pinched the girl's jaw, and said viciously, "You are looking for death!"
The severe pain in her jaw forced the girl to stop the witchcraft, and the rest of the world suddenly broke away from the strange feeling, and one by one she panted, especially the soldiers beside the girl, and in addition to palpitations, she had to tighten the long knife in her hand on the girl's neck in order to bring herself some security.
"Little girl, you even know how to do witchcraft, and you almost fell into your way!" Gray was terrified, witchcraft is the most popular form of magic in the starry sky, and the people who control it are very rare, all of them are famous.
