=======================
The more he interacted with him, the more Sarcomo knew what kind of person Rennes was.
There is a contradiction in this statement, and it should be said that Sarcomo is even more unclear about what kind of person Rennes is.
From the very beginning, his impression of Wren was just an ordinary, without the slightest speciality, relying on the blood to inherit the successor of a noble family. Such people dare not say how many they have seen, at least they can always see some. The first time they interacted, Wren made a deep impression on Sarcomo, who in Sarcomo's eyes was a very thoughtful, bold and charismatic guy.
It is also because of this that he is willing to hand over his granddaughter to Wren, so that the entire Bell Province Chamber of Commerce and the nobility are hooked, and he no longer seems so independent.
In the next few encounters, and from the perspective of an onlooker, Wren surpassed the limits of Sarcomo's imagination again and again. If it weren't for Wren's young age, he would even think that this was an old monster who had gone through ups and downs in the political whirlpool of the imperial capital. Every time Rennes made a shot, Sarcomo felt amazing, the kind of accuracy that grasped the situation, strong execution and strong courage were completely not at all possible for a person of Rennes' age.
The more I learned, the more awe and fear I became.
He had a close cooperation with Prince Kant outside the province of Bell, and he would sometimes use Prince Kant as his stepping stone, and when he needed to do something, he would introduce him, "Does Prince Kant know? We are partners of the Bell Chamber of Commerce, and we have a very close relationship." But he definitely didn't take Wren with him. Because he knows very well that using Wren's name means being involved with Wren, whether it is good or bad.
The situation outside the City Lord's Mansion has been extremely bad, but Wren can sit here safely sipping tea and basking in the sun, if he doesn't have a backhand, Sacomo will definitely not believe it.
Choosing to make a decision is one of the things that Sarcomo impressed with Rennes the most.
Of course, Wren will not live up to Sarcomo's high opinion of him, in fact, three days ago, Hugo quietly left the city lord's mansion with some people. The reason why Hugo is used instead of others is because Hugo is a new face, and even if people know his identity as an outsider, they will not associate him with the City Lord's Mansion. Secondly, Hugo has a strong desire to perform, he wants to be able to stand in Ortrenburg, so he has to do something to make him worthy.
In contrast to Wren's trust, Hugo lived up to expectations and completed his task perfectly, finally capturing a key person, a steward of a grain merchant. He received some news from his mouth that the food in the city could not be transported outside the city, and it was quietly transferred at night and hidden in some secret warehouses.
Secret warehouses are not an uncommon thing among merchants, and many merchants will quietly build similar things in case of possible sudden inspections, and use them to hold some contraband.
At this moment, Hugo is in a dwelling, he is sitting at the dining table, neatly dressed, and elegantly eating. The silver cutlery in the hand stands out against the candlelight, and the grilled steak exudes a charming aroma. He raised his hand to disassemble the steak, every time the knife cut back and forth, the unripe blood in the steak mixed with the gravy was squeezed out, and the red beef was only three medium-rare, infinitely close to raw meat, but he ate it with relish.
Directly opposite him, a man was fixed to a cross, covered in wounds, and five fingers of his left hand had been cut off by the roots, leaving only blood stains that had begun to oxidize and blacken, and dried up. His right hand was firmly grasped by a strong man with a hood, and at the same time an iron scissors clamped his thumb, and the flesh sank deep into it, faintly stained with blood.
Hugo put down the dishes, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, leaving a pink bloody juice on the white napkin. He smiled very brightly, and he was completely a teenager next door who couldn't help but feel close.
"Don't you want to say it? You should know that. The result of what you say is that you may live, and the result of not saying it will definitely die. Wouldn't it be too stupid to give up your chances of survival just for the sake of your family? Your parents don't give you life for other people's things, they want you to live even more. And your family, your wife, and your children. Hugo's tone was calm and sincere, and he suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at the tortured man, "I remember, you also have a sister." ”
The tortured man was a guard in a grain merchant, his status was not very high, and the only thing to be commended was that the merchant took care of his family. When he heard about his parents. After all, no one wants to die, and if he can live, who doesn't want to live? Even if he survives, he knows very well that once he tells what he knows, he will inevitably die, and his family will not be happy. No master wants to keep the traitor's family with him, and his family will lose their privileged living environment, and like the common people, they will have to run for survival, and even be retaliated against by the merchants.
When Hugo mentioned his sister, his pupils suddenly contracted.
In his not-so-long journey of life, there were only three people who had been by his side from beginning to end - his parents and his sister. Even his wife and children are just "partners" who meet their peers in the middle of his life, and they are far less important than the other three people emotionally.
Hugo's smile was not fierce at all, but it made the man shudder. He knew this young man too well, and used his physical trauma to understand the most real side of this young man. Whenever Hugo laughed, it was when he felt fear.
Hugo supported his chin with one hand, and if he didn't consider the environment, he looked quite innocent. He seemed to be touching or grasping something with one hand in the air, his eyes were intoxicated, "Do you know? How naughty your sister is, she is so disobedient, and she wants to resist, and what is even more unexpected is that she actually bit me." Hugo shook his wrist, and his sleeve fell down a bit, revealing a tooth mark under his wrist.
"I wanted to kill her at the time, but then I thought about it, such a wild woman must be very powerful to conquer. He laughed twice, and the laughter was full of something inexplicable, but it made the tortured man almost crazy, "Now that I think about it, I have an endless aftertaste, such a strong woman is really rare." ”
He glanced at the hooded executioner, "Give me some sound, don't you think I need a reward when I say this?"
The executioner was stunned for a moment, then closed the scissors with great force, and with a clatter, a finger fell to the ground with a clatter. The man trembled and screamed, his screams were weak, he had been tossed for two days, and he could no longer shout a powerful voice.
He convulsed twice and passed out.
"Wake him up!"
A bucket of cold water called over, the man slowly woke up, his teeth clenched and rattled, his eyes were full of hatred and fear, he stared at Hugo, Hugo not only did not feel frightened by this look, but was very excited.
"I found a whip, the kind with iron spikes, you've probably seen it, and I stripped her naked, and then beat her hard. Each whip brings up large chunks of flesh ......"
"Don't say it!, what do you want to know!?", the man snarled hoarsely.
Hugo shrugged his shoulders, "You see, I told you before, I won't ask you, you will take the initiative to tell me." Look, I'm not lying. He looked very proud, as if he had gotten a good grade and was showing off to others, "Where is the secret warehouse, I know you've been there." ”
After a few moments, a satisfied Hugo left the room with a brisk stride with what he had interrogated. The man had stopped breathing, and Hugo simply gave him a pleasure as a reward for his cooperation. As if carrying a piece of goods, the executioner dragged the man by one leg to the corner of the room, where there was a guillotine for cutting bales of hay. Without hesitation, he cut the man into several pieces and stuffed them into a bag.
Such scenes and results have long been commonplace for him, and he is not surprised.
As Hugo was passing through a block, he met a young girl dressed in blue. The girl smiled at him, "Hello, is the work over? It's a lot earlier than the other day." ”
He nodded, "Everyone is very cooperative with today's work, so we did it quickly." By the way, is your brother back?"
The girl shook her head, "He's very busy right now, you should know, those merchants always have a lot of things to do. ”
Hugo smiled and stopped slightly, "I still have some work, I'll quit first, I must invite your brother to drink if I have the chance." ”
The girl smiled sweetly, "Okay, okay, I'll tell him." ”
After Hugo left, a head poked out of the door behind the girl, fifty-six or seventeen years old, "Who is that man? ”
The girl sneered, "Daddy!"
"Okay, okay, I'll not talk about ......", the elder shook his head, his daughter is older after all, and it is time to consider getting married. When his son's work is over, talk to him about it, and his son works as a guard in a wealthy merchant and is well-informed, so he will definitely be able to make up his mind.
The girl looked at Hugo's departing back, bit her lip lightly, didn't know what she thought, smiled shyly, and the heavens and the earth were eclipsed.
