Chapter 101: Poor and Pathetic Beings

A large number of royal garrisons poured into the old alleys, and although the blood was wet with rain, there was always something that could not be erased.

Those who intended to commit the murder were kidnapped one by one by the garrison, and what awaited them was a public hanging.

People who are indifferent and have no nostalgia for life need a glimmer of hope to light the candle in their hearts, and the young man repaid Arthur's small kindness that day with his humble life.

The people living in the slum looked at the corpse of the boy on the ground, and did not know how to describe the current mood.

Complications and remorse or something else.

Charlene and Elizabeth stood up with the butler's support, and they looked at Arthur, who stood motionless, not knowing what to say.

A rickety old man walked in from outside the alley with a smile, passed by Arthur and slowly came to his grandson's corpse and picked him up, so gently that he was afraid to wake him up.

"I'm sorry, if I had noticed it earlier, I might have .........," Arthur's face slowly slid down the corners of his face with rain dripping down his face.

The old man looked up at Arthur's face and suddenly put away his smile. In the cloudy eyes, a glimmer of crystal light was revealed.

Arthur looked at the old man's weather-beaten but cloudy eyes, and wanted to show some kindness. But the old man had already lowered his head and touched the young man's hand, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Baron, the old man is dead. A garrison reported.

Arthur raised his head and closed his eyes silently, the rain dripping down his eyes, so that others would not notice that the corners of his eyes were already bright red. The early sunshine shone on his body, and Arthur, who was cold in his heart, found a trace of warmth.

"When I went to report to the heraldic court, I said that these two people were my retainers, and they were allowed to be buried. Arthur said flatly.

"But the adults don't follow the rules, they ................"

"It's okay, do as I say. ”

"Yes. ”

Charlene and Elizabeth were frightened, and Arthur took their slightly trembling hands and prepared to walk out of the alley under the escort of the garrison.

The miserable people expect mercy, and they kneel humbly on the ground, as low as they can, regardless of the standing water on the road and the already dirty clothes.

The royal garrison sent out at least a hundred guards, and their cold swords were pointed at the poor people who knelt on the ground, among whom were rapists, thieves, and dying sick with stubborn diseases, and the regional kingdom was simply unmanageable, which showed how chaotic he was.

When he heard that Commander Arthur was here, the commander of the garrison hurried over with his people like crazy, but in the end he was still a step too late.

Had it not been for the pariah, Miss Elizabeth and Arthur's head maid would have been insulted.

The commander of the garrison breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Arthur pull the two ladies out safely. "It's good that you're okay, and Miss Elizabeth, and Miss Charlene. ”

Arthur comforted Charlene and Elizabeth, and when they got into the carriage, Arthur put his hands behind his back and said to the garrison commander. "My lord, what are you going to do with the group of people inside? ”

The two stood so far apart that no one could hear their conversation.

"This group of untouchables watched the crime indifferently and did not intervene to stop it, they were already guilty of harboring according to the laws of Farin, the prison was overcrowded, and at most there were more decomposing corpses on the outskirts of Nanling. His voice was full of murderous and visceral anger, and he was almost implicated in the murder of these untouchables.

Arthur frowned and let out a long sigh.

The commander of the garrison saw Arthur's embarrassed appearance, nodded in the distance, and the garrison blocked the entire block after receiving the order, and this cancer in the royal capital was finally removed today.

"Baron Arthur, what would it be like today without that young man, without you, without me? ”

"The two young ladies may have been insulted, what will you do then?"

Arthur thought for a while and replied very seriously: "Let everyone be buried with you." ”

Mournful wails floated from all over the alleys, men, women, and children, begging for mercy and hoping only to live.

The sophisticated garrison commander was pleased with Arthur's answer, which contained nothing false.

"I don't know what favor that young man has received from you, but if it weren't for it, the two young ladies would have been insulted. This neighborhood was originally a disgrace to King Farin, and it was also a disgrace to me, but there was no evidence to keep it aside. You don't need to be burdened, I'm in charge of it. ”

Arthur took the towel from the man next to him. "Thank you, my lord, I owe you a favor. ”

After speaking, he walked slowly to the carriage, his eyes regained his brightness and clarity, and the screams behind him still ceased, and blood covered the streets.

Poor and pathetic beings, indifference is, after all, the coldest sharp knife, stabbing at others and also at themselves.

"Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner to suppress the shock. Arthur said as he sat in the carriage.

"I'm sorry, we shouldn't have gone to you without permission. Tears welled up in the corners of Elizabeth's eyes.

Arthur tapped the edge, and the carriage slowly left the block, with many people stuck in the air, not knowing what was going on inside.

"No, everyone is wrong, what is wrong is the indifference of people. I once gave him some food and told him that he could come to me if he was in trouble, and that the strict hierarchical pressure had created a wrong social order. ”

"It's always good to do more good things, like today. ”

Elizabeth looked at Arthur's already replied face, and couldn't understand him for a moment. "Arthur, what are you doing so many good things for? ”

"After all, the gods do not suffer all beings, so I want to be a great man, a great man that no one can match. Arthur looked into Elizabeth's eyes and said slowly. This is the ideal and the hope, this is the longing and the hope.

The carriage slowly stopped at Wang Yao's station, and Arthur and Shalene got out of the carriage and watched Elizabeth leave.

"Master, what will happen to that group. Charlene asked the group of unrelated people.

"They should all be dead by now, and there won't be anyone alive. Arthur watched the carriage leave before speaking.

"If it was you, you would have stopped it. Charlene asked.

"If it was me before, I would have stopped it. But then? What will happen to them? Who will come to your rescue the next time you encounter a situation like yours? The commander of the garrison taught me a lesson that the gentleness of mercy will become a sharp knife. ”

"I'm going on a campaign tomorrow, so be careful when you go out and bring some men. ”

............................

The corpses of the streets were piled together, and the garrison put them all in sacks with the disgusting smell to be carried away.

The bones of the old man and the boy were placed in a solid wooden coffin, and the heraldic institute recognized the fact that the two were Arthur's retainers, and they could be buried on a monument and inscribed with heraldry for permanent preservation.

But there is no name on the inscription of the two, there is only one sentence.

On the XXXTH day of the XX month of the XXX year of the Falin Gregorian calendar, he died for saving people

Arthur Pendragon Lieu.

Family coat of arms of honor!!
