Chapter 261: White Death
In the internal meeting room of the City Lord's Palace, Kennan sat in the main seat and listened to the treasurer report on the tax situation in the town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The financial officer, who was about forty years old, was a little chubby, and the summer sun made him feel a little hot, and he was wiping the fine beads of sweat on his forehead with a white handkerchief while reading the long information in his hand.
After the treasurer finally finished reading, Kennan gently knocked on the table with one hand and shook the wine glass with the other and said, "In other words, all the taxes in the City Lord's Mansion were collected by the previous City Lord?
"I don't want to admit it, but that's what it is. The slightly chubby man said with his hands wiping the beads of sweat on his head.
"Hehe, once Her Majesty Catherine told me that it was best to bring a team of soldiers with me before taking office, and told me that Sharpster is a poor mountain and a bad people, and I didn't know what it meant at first, but after I got here, I really understood the deep meaning of Her Majesty. Kenan slowly stood up, then untied his cloak and threw it to Jamila, who had been standing behind him.
Jamila hurriedly took the cloak and stood behind Kenan with her hands tied.
Kennan walked up to the chubby treasurer step by step, "It's just summer, and you told me that all the financial taxes were collected by the previous city lord, and there was nothing left in the treasury, so you put the blame on a dead man, but it was a good calculation." Originally, if you just took your share, I might not have paid any attention, but your food is too ugly......"
After saying that, Kennan slammed the short and fat treasurer up with one hand, "It's a provincial excuse for me......"
"Stop!" At this moment, a tall and stout blonde man stood up, "Put the treasurer down, he is an official of the kingdom, and you have no right to judge an official of the kingdom without evidence." ”
"No evidence?" Kennan grinned slightly, "In other words, this matter is really what you did, originally there was just a little speculation, I wanted to deceive you, but I didn't expect your mental quality to be so poor, no wonder you can only be a small official in this remote place." ”
"You ......," the sheriff shuddered and was speechless.
"Alright, Kyle, sit down. Acting City Lord Gelman stopped the sheriff's attempt, and then slowly sat up straight, "So your Excellency doesn't plan to give us a way to live?"
"Hehe, it's like I'm taking it by tricks, everyone knows who is who is wrong, if you want to blame it, it's only a few of you who are too ugly to eat, now give you two ways, one is to hand over the greedy ink income and hand over half of the family property, I can let you leave Sharpster. If not, I can give each of you a noose, you choose. Kennan casually threw the chubby treasurer to the ground, only to see the treasurer slumped to the ground like a pile of mud, coughing blood in his mouth, and the red blood left brown marks on the carpet.
"It's a merciful lord, but it's a pity that I don't want to choose either. Someone is coming!" Gelman shouted, and in an instant, more than two dozen soldiers armed with scimitars poured in from outside the door, squeezing the conference room.
"My dear lord, if you can acquiesce to our behavior, then maybe we will let you be a comfortable lord, but you have disappointed us too much, let me teach you a lesson, this is the south, and it is not the same as those peaceful civilians in the north. Maybe you're really capable, but you're too big to come here with just a few followers. Don't be so careless in the next life. Gelman said with a hideous face.
"Looks like you're planning to kill me. Have you come up with an excuse?What if the kingdom tracks it down?" Kenan asked, curiously, as if Gelman was trying to kill someone else.
"Excuses, just make up an excuse for robbers to kill, anyway, there will be robbers here occasionally, and no one will care if they die. But the lord is very calm, I just don't know if you can calm down after staying for a while. After saying that, Gelman said to the soldiers who poured in, "Everyone go up together, kill them all, leave the woman behind, and I will interrogate them alone at night." ”
"Yes!" replied the soldiers, and then walked toward Kenan with their knives in hand.
This is, the adventurers hired by Kenan did not have a trace of blood on their faces at this time, and they all drew their weapons from their waists, facing the many soldiers back to back, although they were a little trembling, but none of them proposed to surrender, but let Kenan take a high look.
Maybe they themselves know that attacking and killing nobles is a felony, and the other party will definitely not keep a few of them as witnesses, and they will definitely try their best to kill them, and surrendering is also a dead end, so it is better to fight against the water.
Kenan looked at the soldiers who were slowly approaching him with knives and said to Jamila, "Kill them all, not a single one will be left." ”
"Yes, master. Jamila folded the cloak she was holding, laid it upright on the table, and drew her sword with one hand and charged at the influx of soldiers.
I saw the cold light flickering in the room for a while, and the thin sword in Jamila's hand was like a silver snake, shuttling back and forth through the space, and the eyes of the people who were pierced by the cold light were painful, making people dare not look directly.
Poof, poof, poof, a series of flesh-piercing sounds sounded, blood lines splashed in the room, and Yamila, who was wearing a white practice uniform, flew among the crowd like a white butterfly, harvesting one life after another with the thin sword in her hand, like a white god of death.
After a few moments, Jamila returned to her original position, inserted her sword back into its scabbard, and then gently lifted the cloak on the table as if holding a precious treasure.
"You, you ......" At this time, Gelman had lost his spirit, and he was now like a mourning dog, slumped on the ground, making a final wail.
"It's noisy. Kenan looked at the still shocked adventurers, "You guys dropped them at the door of the City Lord's Mansion with a sign of rebellion on your chest. In addition, two people were sent to the city gate to pass the order of the city lord's palace to close the city gate, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, otherwise he would be punished for treason. In addition, let a few City Guard squad leaders come over once. ”
"Yes, sir. Several adventurers heard Kennan's order and immediately went into action.
