Chapter 160: York's Mission (2)
"What's going on?" the patrolmen evacuated the crowd, their main duty was to maintain order in the city, and now there were many people gathered on the streets, which naturally attracted their attention. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The shopkeeper almost crawled in front of the patrol captain and cried about his misery: "Ah, captain, you are here at a good time, they beat the vendors in the street, and they must be arrested and punished severely." ā
The patrol captain frowned slightly, there were just three young men in front of him, and there were seven or eight strong men lying on the ground, and it was not certain who beat whom, but the facts in front of him showed that those three people were indeed involved in the brawl
"Come with me. "The patrol captain ordered the York trio.
"We, I'm afraid they're the ones you're going to arrest, right? York thought it was a little ridiculous, did it take a look at who was standing and who was lying down, what was the source of the matter, and what the process was, didn't he need to figure it out?
The first impression of Asker was okay, but as soon as I entered the city, I encountered bad things, and my impression of this place became worse and worse. As the maintainers of the city, the patrolmen are influenced by the lord, and their practices are more or less similar to the style of the lord of the city, and it can also be inferred from this incident that the lord's character is not very good.
Every city needs commerce, especially in the remote Northwest, and it makes sense for the lords to offer special favors to merchants, but it would be disappointing if it included unlimited tolerance, or even indulgence.
Today, when such a thing happens, York will not suffer in vain, and the matter must be made clear, and who should be punished and who should be released should be justified.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, Captain, this is Mr. Millis's shop, you should know how to do it. "The shopkeeper has his own way, everything has the reputation of Millis, and which of the patrols present dares to offend him.
It's Millis again, this is the second time that York has heard this name from the mouth of the shopkeeper, he has said a good name like this, and from beginning to end he feels that this businessman's character is not good to have such subordinates, and now he is still showing off his power everywhere, if there is such a person under his own hands, York will never tolerate it.
Of course, the patrol captain on the opposite side knew whose territory it was, but it was still a little unhappy to be carried out by the shopkeepers, and he was currently under pressure to arrest them.
In Asker, the status of merchants is not low, especially those with a bit of background like Millis, whose status is similar to that of nobles, their property is specially protected by the lord, and as a small patrol under the lord, there is no other way but to obey.
Seeing the captain's hesitation, the shopkeeper couldn't help but urge again.
"It turns out that the soldiers in their city can be commanded by a shopkeeper, which is really eye-opening. York turned back to his people and said that it was the first time he had seen him as a sergeant being led by the nose by a shopkeeper, which was simply insulting his identity as a soldier.
The people who had just been evacuated gathered around again, wondering what would happen next.
The captain's face became more and more embarrassed, and he was conflicted in the face of the pressure of the businessman and the doubts of the people around him.
"What the hell is going on?" the captain thought about and abandoned his initial decision, intending to figure out what happened to the whole thing as his duty, and investigating the process was one of them.
The shopkeeper was keenly aware that things were going in a bad direction, so he quietly sent someone to inform Millis to come over.
Then several people told the story of the incident, but the versions of the two sides were different.
The shopkeeper's argument is very simple, the other party is a group of people who want to gather a crowd to make trouble and then extort the store.
The old man on the other side said that he had been deceived and had been sold fake timber that caused the newly built house to collapse, and York was just holding on to his grievances.
The patrol captain saw that the two sides had different statements, and there was no better idea to solve it for a while.
He looked at the three people in front of him, especially the leader one, and from their behavior, it showed that they still had some skills, and it was impossible to make trouble for a little money, but because of the power on Millis's side, he couldn't say it directly.
Now that he has a preliminary idea, the captain plans to take York and them away, as long as they leave this place of right and wrong, what to do is the power of the captain of his own way, even if Millis asks him, he can find a good reason to make a difference.
But what kind of reason should be used to take them away?
On the other hand, York was not in a hurry, and he was not wrong, even if the lord came, he had to act according to the law.
"What are we going to do, Lord York?" asked the patrolman in York's ear, as it seemed that the task of receiving the paupers could not be carried out for the time being, and it might be worse if it dragged on.
York signaled him not to be in a hurry, he couldn't follow the patrol camp anyway, once he got in and wanted to get out, it would be difficult, and everything had to be settled here today.
"I've figured out the whole process, and you guys have to come with me. "The captain couldn't find a better reason to force them out of here with the power in his hands.
As soon as this decision came out, the people around him talked about it, and this was a good wronged person.
"Don't bother the captain, we'll take care of it ourselves. Hearing the news, Millis's face was full of anger, how could it be so easy to get away from making trouble on his own turf.
At this time, York saw the rumored appearance of Millis, not too tall, his delicate clothes could not hide his treacherous temperament, and the long beard above his lips felt funny no matter how he looked at it.
The patrol captain was a little annoyed that he had acted too late, and when Millis came, the idea of dealing with it lightly basically failed.
"You're making trouble here?" Millis asked, staring at York, not asking but questioning, and no one in front of him could escape, let alone anyone who provoked himself.
"If you treat defense as a nuisance. "York is now certain that such a man as a shopkeeper is indeed related to this Millis.
"Since you admit it, then let's say which hand to keep?" Millis didn't give any room for negotiation.
"It also depends on whether you have the ability to stay. York shook his head, barely able to communicate with such a person. These guys dare to be so arrogant, because they see that the other party has no power, and they are a group of guys who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard.
"What a big breath, hands. Millis didn't give face to the captain next to him at all, he had the final say on what he wanted, and their patrolmen hadn't taken it seriously.
This time, Millis brought more than a dozen strong men, and the scene can be described as one-sided.
"Mr. Millis, this is not good. "The patrol captain has objections.
"It's a private matter, it's better not to interfere, you say yes. Millis asked rhetorically, the answer already obvious.
The patrol captain could not answer.
"Millis, you're still so impatient. Just as the scene was about to get out of hand, behind the crowd, another tall man walked out.
"Ah, Lord Inspector, why are you here?" the patrol captain was a little surprised, how could the Lord Inspector be here.
York looked back at him, who was this?
