Chapter 148: Suspicion Again
"That's how it happened. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info" Aiden kicked the horse in the belly as he finished speaking.
At this point, Kenny and the others are speeding towards the execution ground south of the city, and the leading Guards lead them through a narrow alley, which he claims will shorten the journey by half, but he will have to deal with pedestrians who can appear at any time.
Suddenly, the horses neighed.
Kenny jerked the reins back.
The horse under Allen's crotch raised its front hooves high, and a boy sat down under the horse's hooves in horror, and Allen pulled the reins with his left hand, pulling the horse's hooves aside in the air.
The two men stopped in advance, and Kenny dismounted and picked up the child on the ground. "Are you alright?" he said, looking down in concern.
The boy shook his head, and Kenny smiled and touched his head, pulling a silver coin out of his pocket and stuffing it into his jacket pocket.
"What are you thinking?" asked Kenny as he looked at Alan as he left.
Alan let out a long sigh of relief, then spun and dismounted, waved at the guard, and pulled Kenny behind the horse. "We'll ..... later," he said, "we might have to watch out for some Sersi." ”
"Damn, you're here again. Kenny looked displeased, "What did Aiden just tell you?Why do you want to guard against Sercy?If he wants to hurt us, will we survive until now?"
"Don't you think it's strange?" Alan looked at the Guards in the distance, then leaned against the edge of the narrow alley, "Why did Sersi insist on guarding the bodies of those guys this morning, was that what he was supposed to do?"
"Aiden is too young, and Sersi just doesn't feel at ease. Kenny whispered, and before Alan could speak, he pointed to Allen's chest and added, "There's your reason for that, don't forget, last night you said that his proposal was to start another war, maybe you shouldn't have told him that much at all, that honest man is more afraid of the nobles than anyone else." ”
But that's not the case. Alan retorted with a finger on his chest, "Don't you think Sersi said last night that he saw Barton's old butler in the crowd, and today he insisted on guarding the corpse?"
He explained last night, and he was dazzled. Kenny tried to argue.
"Dazzled? This kind of reason is only he can say. Alan clasped his hands in displeasure.
"So, with that, we should guard against him?" Kenny frowned, "He's saved you so many times, and if it weren't for Sersi, you'd have gone to see Namu a long time ago!"
"It's all such a coincidence, man. Alan shrugged, "First he insisted on guarding the corpse, and then the young men appeared, as if he knew in advance that if he went to council today, it would be Aiden, or you, or me! God knows what those guys said." He whispered to the waiting Guard, adding, "Don't forget, that guy is his man. ”
"He had Aiden send a message and ask if I was going to interrogate the guys myself. Kenny argued again.
"yes. Alan smiled disdainfully, "It was only five minutes before Aiden could speak, and before Aiden could speak, he sent someone to inform you that he was going to execute those crazy guys for the trumped-up crime of treason." ”
Kenny was silent. Allen's words are not unreasonable, Sersi did hide something before, and he was sure that Sersi's concealment was related to blood witchcraft, but he was even more convinced that Sersi would never harm him, or Allen, that honest man just had something unspeakable, and it could be seen from his showdown last night that he wanted to tell them everything, but that seemed to touch his bottom line.
Perhaps, it all had something to do with the person he wanted to protect, but that person could never be Barton.
"What if Barton really didn't die, as those lunatics say?"
The sudden words hit Kenny's heart, and Alan peeled him clean like a roundworm in his stomach every time.
"Got it. Kenny nodded, "But no matter what Sersi does, don't hurt him, that's the bottom line." ”
"What if he puts a dagger to your neck?" asked Alan in a deep voice.
"I would ask him why he put a dagger to my neck. Kenny finished and turned around.
"What if he slit your throat with a dagger?" asked Allen, looking at Kenny's back.
"When I get to Shenyuan, I will tell the god Namu that my friend has accidentally missed. With that, he walked over to Aiden, who was holding the reins.
Instead of calling Kenny stupid, as he usually did, Alan stepped away from the clammy edge of the wall, touching the wolf's head pendant on his chest.
On the execution ground south of the city of Nippur, Sersi was pacing back and forth in front of the gallows, and from time to time he looked up at the main street that connected the square, as if waiting for a figure.
On the gallows in the center of the square, five young men stood side by side, their heads covered with black hoods, and the noose loops were already around their necks, and no one knew what these guys looked like.
The crowd of onlookers almost blocked the nearby streets, and the martial guard pulled up the walls to keep those people out of the square, and the cacophony of chatter annoyed Sersi, who had never imagined that such an ordinary hanging would attract so many onlookers.
During Patton's administration, such executions were so common that people did not stop to watch them, and they were played out several times a day on the execution ground, and over time, people got used to it.
But after Lord Kenny took office, he abolished almost all brutal punishments, he even abolished the slave ordinance, and just a few days ago, he forgave the monks of the monastery who blocked the gate of Morwinburg, and even forgave Elder Eugene for hurting the minister of Aiden.
It was curious to see what the men on the gallows had done wrong that would have led the benevolent Lord Kenny to sentence them to hanging.
The sound of horses' hooves reached Sersi's ears, and those voices came from behind. He turned around and saw Kenny and the others spinning and dismounting, walking towards the gallows.
"Lord, you're finally here!"
Kenny glanced at the five men on the gallows. Those people were dressed ordinarily, their bodies were thin, and because of the hoods, he couldn't see their appearances, but what was suspicious was that the noose had clearly wrapped around their necks, but those guys didn't cry and beg for mercy, but just stood there straight.
"Are they picking quarrels and provoking trouble, intent on rebellion?" Kenny asked, gesturing to the men in front of him.
"Yes, lord. Sersi replied, "Just in the prison, they said..... I think you already know. He waved his hand to the guards at the gallows, and the two guards took off their hoods.
When the hoods of the men were removed, Alan looked a little surprised, and Sersi didn't order anyone to stop them, and the guys turned their heads to look at Kenny with no fear.
"Young people. Kenny walked over to the gallows, spotted one of them and asked, "What did you just say in the cell?"
The young man grinned and did not say anything.
"What about you?" he looked at the other man, "is there anything you want to say to me?"
The young man was expressionless and tilted his head to the side.
Kenny stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and beckoned to Aiden. Then, he whispered a few commands in Aiden's ear, and the blonde imp rode out of the execution ground. (To be continued.) )
