Chapter 111: The Assassin
At the same time that Situ Jin had just finished asking this sentence, there was a sudden commotion in the hall, Situ Jin raised his head and found that an old man was hobbling out of the back of the hall.
As soon as they saw the old man, many people in the hall immediately greeted him with a smile on their faces, and the old man's surroundings were instantly surrounded by layers.
At this moment, Situ Jin heard the voice of Mrs. Lee Kerst ringing in his ears: "No, he is out!"
In fact, even if Mrs. Lee Kerst did not say it, Situ Jin had already guessed the identity of this old man, and there was no doubt that this old man was the host who held this banquet, and he was also the person who invited him to this banquet - Marquis Lee Kerster.
"I didn't expect such an inconspicuous old man to be the richest man in the empire!?" Gawain's tone sounded a little regretful and pity, and it was obvious that the image of the Marquis of Lee Kerst was very different from his expectations.
Situ Jin didn't speak, nor did he step forward, just stood far away.
At this time, Mrs. Lee Kerst had already left Situ Jin's side, and I don't know when she stood beside the Marquis of Lee Kerster, this lady did not know what to say in the ear of the old Marquis, and then, Marquis Lee Kerster's gaze passed over everyone standing beside him, and looked straight at Situ Jin.
Noticing this scene, Gao Wen chuckled, and then said, "Situ, it seems that the old man should come over soon." ”
Almost at the same time as Gawain had just finished saying this, the Marquis of Li Kerst raised his feet and walked straight towards Situ Jin, and the crowd quickly made way for the old marquis.
"You're Situ Jin, aren't you?" said Marquis Lee Kester as he walked up to Situ Jin and smiled.
Seeing that the old marquis actually put everyone aside and walked in front of a young man, and just now, this young man was still chatting with Mrs. Lee Kerst, and for a while everyone's appetite was full, who is this young man?
"Lord Marquis, thank you for the invitation!" Situ Jin bowed slightly and gave a noble salute to Marquis Lee Kerster.
Marquis Lee Kerst laughed twice, then suddenly stretched out a hand, patted Situ Jin's shoulder, and said, "Young man, you are indeed a talent! ”
Speaking of this, the Marquis of Li Kerst turned his face sideways, glanced at Mrs. Li Kerst standing next to him, and then turned his head to look at Situ Jin and said: "On the way to Tias, you saved my wife, I already know about this matter, in order to express my gratitude to you, I will give you another villa I have in Tias, I hope you don't refuse!"
"What, send the villa to this kid?" Everyone present was first shocked after hearing the words of Marquis Li Kester, and then they all looked at Situ Jin with envy, the villa sent by Marquis Li Kester, even if it is not as good as the one he lives in now, it must not be much worse.
Baron Dulles was also in the hall at the moment, and when he had just come out of the reception room at the back, the Marquis of Lee Kerst had already told him about Situ Jin's rescue of Mrs. Lee Kerst. Although the Marquis of Lee Kerst wanted to thank Situ Jin after saying it at that time, he didn't expect this Marquis to be so generous!
Don't look at the Marquis of Lee Kerst is very rich, but Dulles knows this old guy very well, and they all say that the richer the person, the more picky, this sentence is suitable for this marquis, but this is the first time Dulles has seen the Marquis of Lee Kerst so generous.
Glancing at the woman standing next to the Marquis of Lee Kerster, a trace of lust gradually appeared in Dulles's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it!
"It seems that this woman's status in the old fellow's heart is not low!" Baron Dulles thought secretly in his heart: "But it is no wonder that such a woman, no man would be reluctant to spend money on her!"
"Lord Marquis!" Situ Jin was also slightly surprised by the fact that Marquis Lee Kerst was going to give him a villa, but he immediately planned to open his mouth to refuse, in vain, at that time he saved Mrs. Lee Kerst was actually just a gesture, he didn't think that his gesture was worth a villa: "I'm sorry"
Situ Jin had just spoken, and suddenly, the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the air sounded in everyone's ears, and then, a silver light flashed in mid-air, and the old body of Marquis Li Kerst trembled slightly, at this moment, a feeling of being firmly locked by death surrounded him, and his face, which was still a little ruddy before, turned white in an instant.
Just before everyone could react to what was happening, they saw Situ Jin's hand suddenly stretch forward, and his whole body suddenly rotated, and when he stood up again, there was already a silver flying knife in his hand.
Looking at this flying knife, everyone in the hall was distracted for a while, and then it exploded, and everyone raised their heads to look upstairs, but only saw a black-clothed back.
"There's an Assassin, there's an Assassin!" shouted a few of the guards standing at the entrance of the hall, and then ran quickly in the direction of the upper floor.
The Marquis of Lee Kerster's body loosened, and after taking a long breath, the whole person fell uncontrollably towards Mrs. Lee Kerster's body.
Everyone was startled again, looking at the body of Marquis Lee Kerst towards his fall, a look of bewilderment appeared on Mrs. Lee Kerster's beautiful face, Situ Jin's eyes were quick, he took a step forward, and supported the fallen body of Marquis Lee Kerster. Seeing this, Mrs. Lee Kerst cast a grateful glance at Stuart.
"Father!" a figure ran forward in three steps and two steps, and grabbed the Marquis of Lee Kerster's arm. Situ Jin immediately recognized this man as Lee Kerst Maika, whom he had seen at the city gate when he first entered the city.
"Father, cheer up!" Maika looked at Marquis Lee Kerst with a worried expression, and immediately beckoned two people to come over, carried Marquis Lee Kerst back to the room, and hurriedly arranged for someone to ask a doctor to come over to treat Marquis Lee Kerster.
A good banquet was stirred up like this, and everyone didn't have the heart to stay any longer.
Mika stood in the hall with a gloomy face, and Dulles walked up to him at some point.
"Young Master Maika, don't worry too much, I have just arranged for someone to search with all my might, I believe that the assassin will be caught soon!" Dulles's face was not very good-looking, as the city secretary of Tias, this kind of thing happened in front of him today, and he also felt quite faceless on his face.
"Lord Joji, if you catch that assassin, please notify me as soon as possible!" Maika said in a deep voice: "I actually want to assassinate my father, this person, I must deal with it personally!"
