263 Justice will be late and will never be absent
"His price is as follows: first, he is responsible for providing Mendelssohn's travel time and route, so that we can ambush and design traps in advance, and second, he will drop a large dose of anesthetic into the drinking water in advance to minimize the combat effectiveness of the Teutonic Knights. www.biquge.info Thirdly, we can take half of the two tons of gold that Mendelssohn transports, in fact, we can take a quarter of it, thank God, because we have to get out of here. Fourth, he will pay a deposit of 2,000 gold coins first, and hire us to pretend to be thieves to kill the Mendelssohn family, so that Mendelssohn's savings will be turned into stolen money. Because the vulture mercenary group has already done the business of killing people and stealing goods, so this is a profitable deal, and my captain has also hated the Teutonic Knights for a long time, and it is a great bargain to be able to collect money, rob money, and eliminate competitors. So we had a high-level meeting, and after only one day of consideration, we agreed to the young man's proposal. Lawrence said with a dry mouth.
The auditorium was in an uproar, and immediately a frenzied discussion broke out, as if it had heard some terrible gossip. The judge struck the hammer twice before the courtroom fell silent. Then the judge sweated profusely and muttered: "The defendant's lawyer can question the witnesses......"
Fillia knocked on the table dissatisfied, frowned and protested: "The plaintiff hasn't finished questioning yet!" Then she bent down to look at Lawrence: "How can a young man be qualified to take your captain? How can he have the ability to guarantee that you can escape safely? How can he have the capital to come up with such a large deposit?"
Lawrence finally gritted his teeth and showed the old hunter's sharpness and ferocity, stared at Oppenheimer in the dock suspiciously, and stamped his foot in remorse and hatred, saying, "My regimental commander is not a fool. He asked the other party to get through the official relationship, and he would not send troops to chase and kill him for at least two hours before he was willing to accept this job. This is our basic requirement and the minimum bottom line that will be determined by the high-level meeting. But the other party agreed very happily, he took our head out all night, and when the head of the group came back drunk the next day, he agreed, claiming that he would be able to wash his hands with everyone by taking this ticket. ”
"Do you know who your head is seeing?" asked Filia keenly.
Ferdinand's waist straightened, and his ears pricked up earnestly. His palms were covered with beads of sweat.
"The commander didn't have time to say until he died in battle!" Lawrence suddenly stood up, like a raging beast, pacing in the cage of the witness stand, and roared: "We have been betrayed simply and neatly! The Teutonic Knights were so strong that they fought alongside the Mendelssohn even after drinking the narcotics. It took us a long time to settle this tricky list, and when the last of the Teutonic knights bled and fell, I was too tired to hold my bow. But at this time, when we were extremely weak, the dragoons rushed out of the city gates, like a deadly sandstorm, sweeping towards this fresh battlefield. Yes, our employer crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and did not fulfill that protective promise at all! We tried to tie our hands down, but the dragoons refused to accept surrender!"
Lawrence's eyes widened, his pupils wrapped in fear, he waved his hands wildly at the audience, and spat and shouted: "Can you believe it? They aim to kill, and refuse to surrender! It was a horrible slaughter feast, and we were like a link in the food chain, just after slaughtering Mendelssohn, we were slaughtered by the roaring cavalry! Retribution came so quickly that my companion was struck by a war horse before he could wipe the blood off his sword! Haha, until I pretended to be dead and escaped, I didn't know that someone had given the order to annihilate the dragoons. It became clear to me that my regimental commander had not been betrayed, but had been exploited - the dirty work was so great that we had no reason to survive. I tried to appeal, but how terrible the limelight was, the stolen money of two tons of gold flowed into the officialdom like a flood, and every guy who held a half-official position took the money to a greater or lesser extent! To those who embezzled, I was like a buzzing and noisy fly, and I had to be pressed to death to be quiet. My appeal did not bring me justice, but it did attract countless bounty killers. I gave in, I left everything behind and embarked on the path of escape. Luckily, I was good at survival in the wild, and I was well versed in stalking and counter-stalking, and the instincts of these hunters kept me on the run for a whole year - the killers followed me all year. In the end, I was desperate and went headlong into the Inquisition, begging for the papal see's protection. So I survived, forgetting the ambitions and fears of fourteen years ago, and trembling like a castrated cat. This is the confession of me, Lawrence, a man who deserves it. ”
Lawrence finished panting before he lowered his head, lowered his hand and muttered, "If you could allow me to travel through time and space, I would warn myself back then: don't trust the nobles." We eat whole grains, but the nobility feeds on people!"
The audience clung to their chests in thrill, and the shock was beyond words. They never imagined that there were so many lost resentful spirits behind a bloody case of extermination.
When Ferdinand heard that "the regimental commander did not have time to say until he died in battle", he held his head high and breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body felt comfortable. When he opened his eyes again, he was already smiling gently, and he stood by and watched.
Philia took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Lawrence, the young man who negotiated a price with you and betrayed you in the end, can you name him?"
Oppenheimer began to shake his head frantically, his eyes widening in horror, his lips twitching: "Don't ...... Don't say ......"
Lawrence, however, looked up at the panicked banker, grinning at the corners of his mouth and showing a cruel and happy smile: "That young man, with his talent and passion, pursued the young daughter of the Mendelssohn family. Poor girl, young and simple, superstitious in love, fell into the arms of the lad, and married him desperately—but she was only a little daughter, and she had a pair of brothers and sisters who were in charge of the family business to divide the inheritance, and it was no matter how she took the turn to take charge of the bank. What is the saddest love in the world? It's nothing more than that you're all about him and he treats you like a fart. Yes, Lord Oppenheimer, tell me that you loved your deceased wife?"
Oppenheimer shuddered back, hiding so that his chair overturned, and he slumped on the ground, kicked back, and his eyes burst out, pointing at the witnesses and shouting, "You are nonsense! You are lying! You are a villain, you slander me!"
Lawrence laughed, then stared at Filla steadfastly, and pointed out categorically: "The man who hired the vulture mercenary group, slaughtered Mendelssohn, and plotted to steal the inheritance, is called Oppenheimer, and is the young son-in-law of the Mendelssohn family. He is now sitting in the dock, sitting on a fortune, and racing against justice, because justice may be late, but it will never be absent. He and I must spend the rest of our lives atoning for our sins. The above is my testimony, and if I lie, I would like to disembowel. (To be continued.) )
