He had never hated anyone so much, and he felt betrayed - his father had played with and trampled on his trust and dependence, hurting something precious in his heart. In www.biquge.info clenched fists, his nails had pierced his palms and were bleeding, and he was powerless to resist today, but one day, he would make this person he once called his father pay!

Faqin felt the boy's gaze with despair and hatred, and realized that he might have gone a little too far: "Boy, if you continue to look at your father with this kind of look, the guy who is hanging on the rope will really die." ”

What do you mean?

Rod subconsciously turned his head to look at Ruien who was hanging on the rope, but saw an incredible scene - the rope that had hanged an unknown number of criminals and hung on something weighing one or two thousand pounds should be fine, suddenly broke without warning.

＊＊＊

Ryan fell to the ground, kneeling on all fours in embarrassment, his brain, which had been out of blood for a few seconds, could not quickly regain consciousness for a while, supporting his body in a daze, gasping for breath, breathing fresh air, feeling reborn.

"What's the matter?" the face of the officer who supervised the execution turned bloody, he had never encountered such a thing in the army for many years, how could it be that the hanging that Duke Foster personally came to watch today went wrong, what did the marshal who rarely came to the military department think?

"It can't be...... I had checked it before the execution. The soldier in charge replied in horror, crouched on the ground, picked up the broken rope, and examined it carefully.

The fracture is uneven, there is a certain amount of deformation, there is no trace of man-made destruction, but it seems to have been stretched by a huge force that cannot be carried, how can a person's weight be done?

The officer did not have the patience to wait for the soldier to analyze, but shouted angrily: "Hurry up to the warehouse and get a new rope in good condition, and continue the execution!"

......

Rhodes slackened in prostration, and the anger and hatred that had been intense a moment ago suddenly lost its purpose as the rope broke. He didn't speak, but had to admit that if his father was trying to scare himself so that he could make a strong impression on himself, he succeeded.

"Your mother always says I don't care about you, so this time, I'm going to take this opportunity to make you understand something. Faqin is also a little weak-hearted, he originally wanted to teach his son a lesson, but it seems to be a little too much, if he accidentally stiffens the originally harmonious father-son relationship, it will be more than worth the loss. Reluctantly, he continued with his hands behind his back: "First, don't expect others to do everything for you, and second, kindness and willfulness are the prerogatives of the strong. If you're not strong enough, one day you'll find that you can't even protect the people you want to protect...... Today, I'll help you save that monster hunter, but next time, don't want me to wipe your ass again. ”

Rhodes was always open to life experiences or teachings from his elders, but he also had a habit of eating soft rather than hard...... His father may have achieved the goal of preaching in this way, but the process was really difficult for him to accept.

Ruien was still on the execution ground, he endured the disbelief in his heart, and honestly bowed his head: "I understand, I will never do it again in the future." ”

"Well, come with me. The man's gaze at him as if he was an enemy had made the man a little uneasy, and Faqin decided to stop today, shook his head and walked up the stairs, led the boy downstairs, stepped through a corridor, and came to the execution ground.

"My lord, I promise, it was an accident. The officer, thinking that the marshal was here to hold him accountable, nervously greeted him and explained: "The rope was still intact the last time it was used!"

"Well, okay, don't be nervous...... I've heard a saying," Faqin turned to look at Ryan, who was sitting on the ground in a daze not far away, waiting for the second hanging, and said: "The rope was broken during the hanging, indicating that the victim may be innocent." ”

The officer did not expect to hear such words, and for a moment he could not figure out what the marshal meant: "My lord, it is a little inappropriate to judge the innocence of the prisoner according to this superstitious statement, right?"

"Well, I admit it, but I have the right to raise doubts. Is there conclusive evidence that this man was accused of attacking the Imperial Army? ”

＊＊＊

Faqin's original plan was to wait for Ryan to be hung up for the second time, and then break the rope again before he came out to call for a halt to the execution—this would make his intention to save people more concealed, and the reason for his suspicion of innocence would be more convincing. But looking at Rod's appearance, he must not be able to accept that he tossed his friends back and forth, so in order to avoid his son's guilt, he had to stand up in advance - as for what the soldiers and executive officers on the scene thought, whether they would be suspicious, they can only ignore it for the time being.

"There is no conclusive evidence...... Your Excellency ......" the officer stammered back, "There are only a few witnesses who are uncertain and doubtful evidence, but in view of the fact that this prisoner is involved in the death of General Carlyle's son, and in connection with the case of your son's frame-up, and his special and sensitive status, the Deputy Marshal and the Prime Minister agree that it is more appropriate to enforce the presumption of guilt and deal with it severely...... This was the sentence of hanging. ”

"It's just nonsense, call back, transfer it to the civil court for retrial, the military court don't care about this matter anymore, I will send someone to talk to the prime minister and the emperor. ”

The officer hesitated, and finally the instinct to obey the order prevailed: "Yes...... You two, go and take the prisoner back to his cell and wait for the Citizen Court to send someone to receive him!"

"Yes!"

......

Because he couldn't reveal the fact that he knew Ryan, of course Rod didn't go up to chat with the hunter. Knowing that even his father could not order the release of people directly, he followed his father back to the carriage after seeing Ruien being escorted out of the execution ground, and when the soldiers who went to the warehouse to get the new ropes ran back to the execution ground sweating profusely, Rhodes had already left the gate of the military headquarters with his father and set foot on the way back.

Speechless all the way, Rhodes was satisfied with the result of Ruien's final rescue, but he was secretly dissatisfied with his father's indiscriminate and timely play, and held his anger for a long time before finally he couldn't help asking: "If I want the non-military court to acquit Ruien, what should I do?"

"I will send the Buddha to the west to help me to the end. The man sat in the carriage seat and said unhurriedly: "Later, I will ask Grom to inform the Prime Minister, and he will understand what to do." What you have to do is to take care of your temper and behavior, don't find me more things to do, I'll have two days off and I'll go back to help your mother, protecting the world is a very laborious thing, understand?"

"Thank you, father, and I promise not to trouble you again. Rod replied depressedly, he wanted to know about this matter and immediately ask his father to intervene to end the war that was still going on in Anteli, who knew that it would be so troublesome to even beg him to save Ryan, and if he really mentioned another thing just after one thing, I don't know how much more trouble and teasing he would have to suffer...... If only my mother were at home.
