Chapter 200: The Situation Changes (4)
"It's a conspiracy!"
As a western hyena, Hart has a hyena-like sense of smell, and he smells of conspiracy in this matter.
A small storekeeper, who abruptly went to the government hall to turn himself in, is such an ant-like figure who actually uncovered the mess under the calm surface of Erdos.
"It's over, it's over," Wright muttered with a pale face, trembling like a sieve, at this moment, what kind of bullshit aristocratic demeanor has long disappeared without a trace.
"I didn't do it, I didn't do it, what about the Earl, I want to see the Earl!"
Immediately, as if thinking of something, Wright excitedly defended himself, although he did not understand the huge impact of this incident, but he still knew very well what it was to lose so much food. He threw himself in front of Hart, tearing at his robe with a handful of snot and tears, and weeping.
Hart looked at the waste-like Wright gloomily, his eyes were very gloomy, and he said, "Lord Earl? Lord Count has not appeared!"
No news from the earl!
This is the biggest strangeness of this matter, Hart, as the earl's most important confidant, he didn't know that the earl was no longer Erdos, but when the earl disappeared, a small storekeeper poked a huge hole.
Hart glanced at Wright, who was as pale as the earth, he didn't believe in his heart that it was such a good person who planned such a big case of food disappearance, but this matter was too wide-ranging, and he would rather be wrong than let one go!
"Drag it off!"
Waving his hand a little annoyed, Hart motioned for the two soldiers to drag Wright down.
After Wright left, Hart sat quietly in the office alone, and he knew very well that there was definitely a huge conspiracy behind it, at least in this conspiracy, he was also the object of calculation.
Inside the silent room.
Hart leaned against the window and thought quietly, the snow was getting heavier and heavier in the gloomy weather outside, and Erdos, who was about to be enveloped in heavy snow, was full of oppressive atmosphere. In the entire room, except for Hart, there was only a dying Buan.
"Who the hell is it?"
Hart thought irritably.
"Is it a plot set up by those nobles down there in secret with the Count's enemies, or is it some kind of business done by some fools?"
As the city magistrate of Erdos, he has seen a lot of the dark side, and he knows very well what some nobles are. In such a bad situation, these nobles will not follow the earl, they are the most standard speculators, and no one will fight a battle that is sure to be lost, unless they see the hope of victory.
If these guys had teamed up with some outside enemies to get this batch of food, it would have been a bloodbath for the whole of Erdos.
Hart the Western Hyena was not a kind man, and countless nobles and commoners died at his hands.
And if some greedy guy is ready to take advantage of the snow disaster to secretly make a fortune and move the food privately, then this matter may be simple, as long as the food is found, everything will return to the original state.
The nobles are still those who are drunk and dreaming of death, and they are still living in the dreams of the count.
The nobles ruled that the commoners reveled in the palace, and the commoners wept and struggled in the bitter winter.
Everything is so normal.
............
But is this really the case?
Soon after.
Some bad news began to circulate throughout Erdos, and it seemed to be bad news about Erdos' grain stocks.
"Erdos is running out of food?
The nobles who heard the news all scoffed, they knew very well how much grain Count Andy had collected, and the grain of the entire west could feed them for several years.
And it seemed to confirm the sneer of the aristocracy, and soon, these messages disappeared.
Just as some nonsense is always quickly lost in the snow, these rumors did not shake the strong aristocracy of Erdos in the slightest. But no one knew that in this stormy weather, Hart Hilter of the City Guard arrested a lot of guys.
These people, without exception, are the ones who spread some bad news in the tavern.
"Waste!
Hart angrily scolded his intelligence chief.
He is the political officer of Erdos, and he is in charge of the Count's intelligence network, and he is the person who knows the most about the troubles of Erdos. However, in the past few days, he has constantly sent people to look for the origin of the rumors, but he has never found anything.
Worse.
He secretly arrested members of the count's private restless list of nobles.
In order to recover the lost grain, Hart had already done whatever it took to arrest these nobles, and he didn't care about what bad rumors the arrest of these nobles would bring to the city, so he directly arrested these people one by one without saying a word.
It's a pity.
The nobles were tortured by Hart and even explained the birthmark on their buttocks, but there was still no news of food.
"I can't find food...... We're all going to die!"
Hart was red-eyed, like a beast in a cage, walking back and forth restlessly.
............
Hart's efforts to cover it up did not prevent the riots from happening.
Soon, all the nobles found out that something was wrong, these guys had an unexpected acumen for politics, and when Hart arrested one famous nobleman after another, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter, and even some stupid guys knew how to keep silent with smart people.
Some wise people began to investigate the matter of food, and the truth that had been silent beneath the surface of the water emerged.
Countless nobles began to go crazy, and the already turbulent undercurrent instantly turned into a storm that swept the entire Erdos, and all the nobles stopped the cheerful ball, and they began to meet in private, plotting and plotting something. Some of Erdos's large families, who occupy important positions in the city, begin to question Hart.
And so the conflict broke out.
Before the commoners even could rise up, the nobles began to get restless, and all the nobles were like beasts trapped in the cage of Erdos, and the snow trapped everyone here.
Having lost the restraint of the nobility, the whole of Erdos began to fall into complete chaos.
It's like losing the restraint of order, and the people of Erdos go crazy, just like the old saying "If the heavens make it perish, it must first make it crazy!", and people start to smash the shops and everything in the streets.
The anger and pent-up resentment in the hearts of many people began to be released, while the nobles who defended the order were too busy to take care of themselves.
The whole of Erdos seems to have entered the end of the world, and all morals and laws have lost their binding force.
Lots of shady little alleys.
Some people who are so hungry even start to do disgusting cannibalism.
