Chapter 61: Vidnina's Despair
Seeing the scimitar on her father's chest, Vidnina's mouth slowly widened, and she pounced like crazy, kneeling in front of her father Kuta, but Kuta's eyes were already dilated, and she collapsed to the ground weakly.
The guard in front of Kuta looked at the scimitar on Kuta's chest with a blank expression, turned his head to look at Roston in horror and said, "The scimitar is his, not mine, and I don't know what happened." β
Kuta began to twitch a few times, and several mouthfuls of bright red blood came out of his mouth, and Roston, who could see it completely, also had a frightened look on his face at this time, he didn't expect things to happen so suddenly, and Kuta died in front of his eyes all of a sudden.
Roston's heart was extremely regretful, regretting that he shouldn't have chased after these 10 silver coins, and if he hadn't caught up angrily at that time, this scene in front of him would not have happened.
"Killed!" I don't know who in the crowd suddenly screamed and shouted, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly dispersed, and in a few breaths, they ran away.
The city guards who heard the news quickly arrived at the scene.
Not long after, several people in charge of Roseton's chamber of commerce also arrived at the scene.
The guards were still on their knees, not daring to move, and Vidnika threw herself in front of Kuta, crying loudly, a herdsman-style scimitar stabbed squarely into Kuta's heart.
Dozens of city guards armed with spears surrounded the scene, and a leader of soldiers wearing armor and holding halberds walked up to the guards and Kuta's corpses and shouted, "Can anyone tell me what happened?"
Grief-stricken, Vidnina lay on her father's stomach and wept loudly, unresponsive to the words of the soldier leader.
Roston stepped forward, drawing the gaze of the leader of the soldiers. The leader of the soldiers questioned Roseton, "Do you know what happened?
Roston took a few deep breaths, tried not to look at Kuta's corpse, and slowly said to the leader of the soldiers: "I am Roston of the Grand Chamber of Commerce, and the man on the ground is my guard. And the man, a peddler who sells sheepskins, we bought 15 sheepskins for 3 gold coins at his stall, and when we went back to the warehouse, we found that one of them was a sick sheepskin, and then we came back to him and asked for a refund of our 10 silver coins, but the man did not give up, saying that we had framed him, and tried to leave, and my guard tried to stop him, but he whipped him in the face, and then they fought, and the girl came and gave me 10 silver coins, and we were about to call a stop, when we saw the guard stabbing him with a scimitarγ β
The leader of the soldiers stared at Roston coldly, then turned to the guard on the ground and asked, "Is it just like what he said?"
The guard nodded in horror and said, "The scimitar, the scimitar was pulled out by him to kill me, and I don't know what happened, and then the scimitar came into my hand and pierced him." Captain of the Guard, I really didn't lie, and it was he who made the first move, and you can see my face, he whipped it. You asked her, she was also there, she also saw it, and many people just now, they also saw it, and they can prove it to me, he was the one who whipped me first, and I am still bleeding from my face, you see, you see. β
The leader of the soldiers gave him a cold look, walked up to Vidnina, and shouted to Vidnina: "What is your name, stand up, what is his relationship with you, answer me!"
Vidnina lifted her weeping face and looked at the leader of the soldiers, who were already speechless.
The leader of the soldiers looked at her with some headaches, handed the halberd to a soldier next to him, squatted down himself, looked at Vidnina and said, "What's your name?"
Vidnina sobbed and replied to him aloud, "Vidnina." β
When the leader of the soldiers heard that she could still speak, he continued to ask her, "What is his relationship with you?"
"My father. Vidnina cried.
"What's your father's name? The leader of the soldiers continued
"Kuta. β
"Very well, Vidnina, tell me what you saw, tell me, what happened. The leader of the soldiers asked patiently.
Vidnina burst into tears again in an instant, sobbing and saying, "It's our fault that we shouldn't have sold Bobolo's skins to them." We shouldn't have sold Bobolo's skins to them, woo-woo-woo, it's all our fault. Woooooooooooo β
The leader of the soldiers glanced at Roseton, who was standing nearby.
Roston hurriedly replied: "She also told me this just now, these 10 gold coins, Popolo should be the name of the sick and dead sheep." β
The leader of the soldiers looked back at Vidnika and asked patiently, "He said that your father whipped him in the face first, and you told me if that was the case?"
Vidnina was even more sad when she heard this, and cried out loud: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my dad shouldn't have whipped him, I'm sorry, he didn't mean to whip him, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." It's all our fault, woo woo woo, I'm sorry, it's all our fault. β
The leader of the soldiers frowned after hearing this, stood up, and looked at Roseton, obviously Roseton was not lying, and the whip on the guard's face was also very badly wounded, and his face was covered with blood.
It seems that the matter has become clear, the herdsman sold some sheepskins to the chamber of commerce, one of which was a sick and dead sheepskin, the chamber of commerce came back to pursue it, the herdsman was in a hurry to use the whip and beat the guard, and then the two scuffled, and the guard killed the herdsman by mistake. The leader of the soldiers looked at the weeping Vidnina, and then at the frightened Chamber of Commerce guards who knelt on the ground, and slowly straightened out the general course of the incident.
"Is Rothton from the Grand Chamber of Commerce?" asked the leader of the soldiers, looking at Rothton.
"Yes, Master Guard. Roston replied quickly.
"It's just as you say, you're not lying. After being whipped by this Kuta whip, your guards fought back and killed the herdsman called Kuta in the fight. In view of the negligence of both of you, I mediate on behalf of the City Guard of Teminas City, and the Grand Chamber of Commerce will compensate Vidnina, the daughter of the herdsman Kuta, with 100 gold coins. At the same time, Videnina no longer pursues the Glen Chamber of Commerce guards for manslaughter that killed her father by mistake. Do you agree?"
Roston hurriedly looked at the few responsible persons who came from the other chambers of commerce, and after seeing the person in charge nodding, he hurriedly said to the leader of the soldiers: "We accept your mediation and are willing to pay 100 gold coins in compensation." β
The leader of the soldiers turned his head to look at Vidnina, who was still crying, and said: "Vidnina, on behalf of the city defense of Teminas City, I mediate with you, your father Kuta negligently injured someone and whipped the guards of the Gran Chamber of Commerce, which was the main reason for this fight, and used a scimitar in the fight, and was accidentally killed by the guards of the Chamber of Commerce, and now the Gran Chamber of Commerce compensates you with 100 gold coins as compensation, colleague, you can't pursue the negligent murder of the guards of the Gran Chamber of Commerce, do you agree?"
Vidnina cried and threw herself on her father, whining and crying.
The leader of the soldiers pressed again: "Do you agree?"
Vidnina looked up crying and nodded heartbrokenly.
"Very well, both of you agree, Rosdon, when are you going to pay Vidnika the gold coins?" the leader of the soldiers asked, turning to Roseton.
Several people in charge of the Grand Chamber of Commerce hurriedly took a bag and gave it to Roston, and one of them said, "This is 100 gold coins." β
Roston handed the bag containing the gold coins to the leader of the soldiers.
The leader of the soldiers opened the bag, looked inside, and it looked like it did have 100 gold coins, and handed it to Vidnina, who wept and took the bag with the gold coins, and began to cry again.
"Help her carry the body up. The leader of the soldiers commanded, pointing to several guards with guns. The men hurriedly handed the spears to the people around them, stepped forward, and carried Kuta's body onto the carriage.
"Where do you live, Vidnina, do you need to arrange for a few soldiers to take you back?" the leader of the soldiers asked, looking at the weeping Vidnina.
When Vidrina heard this, she shook her head blankly.
The leader of the soldiers looked in the direction of the carriage, which was towards the east gate, and thought that there were many herdsmen on the east coast, and guessed that Vidnika should be a herdsman on the east coast, so he arranged for several guards to escort her out of the city of Teminas.
The carriage slowly left the city of Teminas along the official road, and the leader of the soldiers silently withdrew his gaze, sighed, and turned back to the city.
Vidnina sat in the carriage, where her father, Kuta, had previously sit, but now her father was lying in the carriage cold. Saddenina's eyes were red and swollen to the limit, and she drove the carriage slowly towards the east coast.
I don't know how long the carriage went, the sky slowly darkened, the surrounding scenery gradually became familiar, and the sound of horses' hooves came from the west, and Vidnina couldn't help but look behind.
"I've finally caught up with you!" a hoarse man appeared in front of Vidnina, with several horses and three men behind him. None of these people Vidnina knew.
Several men rode to the front of the carriage, and the carriage suddenly stopped.
The four men rolled over and got out of the carriage and jumped in front of Vidnina.
Vidnina trembled with fear, not daring to make a sound.
"Hand over the gold, if you don't want us to do it. "The hoarse man looked very strong, with a long scimitar at his waist, and his crimson cloak was dusty, and he looked very, very unwashed in a long time.
Vidnina was too frightened to move, her hands clutching the bag of gold coins tightly, her eyes closed in fright.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed the gold coin bag and pulled it over, and Vidnina, who was holding her tightly, was carried by a handful and fell out of the carriage, and the pain made her cry again.
"You go and search the body in the carriage, there should be three gold coins. The hoarse man commanded, pointing to the three men.
"Sauron, you go. "Of the three, he shoved the skinniest man.
The thin man cursed under his breath and walked to the back of the car.
When Vidnika heard that they were about to search her father's body, she suddenly surged out of nowhere, stood up and shouted, "You can't do this!" and was about to rush to the carriage.
But before she could take two steps, the hoarse man grabbed her by the neck with one hand and threw her to the side of the carriage.
Vidnina, who was thrown to the ground, struggled to stand up again in pain, the hoarse man grabbed her neck again, and Vidnina, whose throat was jammed, struggled to slap the man's hand, unable to speak and breathless. Just as the hoarse man was about to shake her off again, one of the other two men suddenly said with a wicked smile: "Del, you really don't know how to pity the jade, you can be a heavy hand with such a beautiful and lovely shepherdess." β
The hoarse man let go of his hand, looked at the woman in his hand seriously, showed a wicked smile, and said, "You're right, Nordin, what a beautiful and lovely shepherdess!" The words fell, and the other hand grabbed the collar around Vidnina's neck and tore it off fiercely.
In agony and despair, Vidrina was pushed to the grass, and three men surrounded her.
After a long time, the emaciated man Sauron searched Kuta's body in the carriage, and after finding the three gold coins, he also ripped off his leather belt and walked over.
Vidnina wept bitterly.
I don't know how long it took.
The four men put on their clothes again, and the hoarse man Del looked at the expressionless and blank Vidrenina on the ground with a blank eye, and said to the thin man next to him, Sauron, "Sauron, kill her, let's go." β
After saying that, he walked to his horse, turned over and rode up, and the other two people also rode on their own horses.
Sauron cursed and drew the scimitar from his waist, walked over, and aimed the knife at Vidnina's heart, thrust it hard.
Just as the tip of the scimitar was about to plunge into Vidnia's heart, a white light shot out from the west and struck the emaciated man, Thor, with great force.
Thor was knocked to the ground, convulsed a few times, and was silent.
The moment he saw the white light, the hoarse man Del drew his scimitar and looked to the west, not far away was a very tall man in a gray robe.
"Magician!" The moment he saw the gray-robed man, Del trembled in his heart, but he still mustered up his courage, kicked the horse's belly with his feet, and rushed towards the gray-robed man. The other two men also rushed towards the gray-robed man with swords in hand.
The gray-robed man saw the three men and three horses charge, stretched out his hand and pointed at the three, and whispered, "Thunderbolt lightning."
As the gray-robed man's voice fell, the clouds in the sky surged in an instant, and a thick thunderbolt suddenly fell!
"Boom!"
"Ahh
The gray-robed man slowly walked up to Vidnina, took off his robe, and gently covered Vidnina. Reached out and wrapped it around the back of her neck and hugged her sideways.
Towards the north, slowly leave.
