Chapter 509: A Den of Thieves

When Raymond was still in power, an officer like Saige received a little salary every month, which was quite a rule. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After all, the laws of the empire were still very effective at that time, and from time to time officials of the royal capital visited the places of various provinces.

If these officers dared to mess around in the place, and they were so close to the royal capital, they would definitely die an ugly death.

However, with the death of Raymond, the laws of the empire gradually became a dead letter, especially after the civil war, Raygar completely lost the power of local administration.

Rhaegar himself understands this, and his attitude is that he will not meddle in local affairs for a few years or even more than a decade.

All he had to do was gather strength to recover, and when the time was right, he would bring it back to the center, and now he needed the support of the governor.

Now, with Kamal's connivance, he is interested in wealth, as long as he can accumulate wealth, killing someone is not a matter at all.

Saige, these middle- and lower-level officers, also gradually began to open the cage of desire, and they were unscrupulous and did all kinds of evil in the locality.

With the power of life and death, they can control the life and death of others at will, and what is a small Tarun town in his eyes?

"Master Saige, Xuelu is still young, she is just a child, she doesn't understand anything, you can raise your noble hand and let her go, and we will make up the money immediately. ”

The old mayor got up from the ground with difficulty, and when he saw his granddaughter who was grabbed by Saige's arm and struggled, he begged bitterly.

Many of the young people hiding in the rear were angry and wanted to rush over, but they were all dragged by the old men.

Now is not the time to provoke these soldiers, not to mention that the other party is outnumbered and has weapons, they can't fight at all, even if they do, it will only attract more soldiers to suppress it, where do they, who just want to live a peaceful life, dare to offend these military masters who have the power of life and death?

"Scrape together the money immediately? Didn't you just say that you needed a grace period? And now it's there? Are you deliberately deceiving me?"

Saige raised his voice too highly, and he asked the old mayor loudly with a straight face, he was already familiar with this kind of intimidation and intimidation.

"Where do I dare to deceive you, Lord Saige, I will persuade everyone to make up the money, and you can let Xuelu go, my lord. ”

The old mayor trembled, he was anxious to see his granddaughter being detained by Saige, but what could he do in his last years?

"If you took the initiative to hand over the money just now, then I can forgive you, but you have wasted too much time, can my time be squandered like this? Hmph, your granddaughter is so old, it is time to go out to work, what is it like to stay in such a town?"

Seg tugged at Xuelu's slender wrist and roamed around her with bad intentions, who struggled desperately, but his strength was too small.

"My lord, Xuelu is young and ignorant, and when it's not time to work, you can let her go, and I will pay you. ”

The old mayor gritted his teeth, and in order to get back his only granddaughter, even if he tightened his belt to live this winter, he would admit it.

"Reward? Are you blatantly bribing officers? According to the laws of the Empire, this is a criminal offense, come on, arrest this old man for me!"

Seg bared his white teeth, not because he wasn't interested in the old mayor's compensation, but because he had decided that the entire town's wealth was in the bag.

Anyway, this is a remote area at the foot of the mountain, and it is normal to have an accident with thieves or something, and he is so moved to kill.

"Grandpa, let go of Grandpa, please, Grandpa is so old and in poor health, please don't embarrass him. ”

Xuelu pleaded bitterly, her face covered with tears, and she couldn't bear to see her grandfather who raised her being beaten by soldiers.

"Don't go too far, you people, do you still have the laws of the Empire in your eyes, you get out of here, we don't welcome you in Tarun Village!"

A young man dressed in a beast's skin coat broke free from the old man's restraints and ran over in a rage, he could no longer sit idly by and scold.

"What are you doing, Tarn, hurry back, are you dying?Lord Saige, please forgive him, he's just a child. ”

When the old mayor saw the young man who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he immediately scolded him, and his expression suddenly became very nervous.

"Kid, hmph, how do I think he looks like a thief, kid is quite kind, arrest him for me!"

Saige snorted coldly, and once again ordered to start arresting people, he is nothing in Iron Hammer City, but in the place he is the Emperor of the Earth who holds the power of life and death!

"You let me go, I'm not afraid of you, I'm not afraid of death, you bastards, these moths, get out of our land, get away!"

The boy named Tarn struggled, glaring fiercely at Saige, a ball of heroism condensed between his eyebrows, but even so, he faced several adults.

He couldn't break free of his restraints as a soldier punched him in the lower abdomen, causing him to cramp.

"The kid is very fierce, don't you really know how to be honest if you don't give you a few hits? ”

After the soldiers knocked Tarn to the ground, he kicked him several more times, and Tarn covered his head with both hands to parry the punches and kicks of the soldiers, and let out a muffled grunt.

"Don't fight, he's just a kid, not a thief, Lord Saige, please, don't be like him. ”

Several more villagers gathered around to intercede for Tarn, how could a teenager withstand such a beating?

"I see that you are harboring thieves here, it is a den of thieves at all, you go and arrest all the women in the town, and the official must interrogate them properly, as for the other men, according to the orders of the governor, it is completely merciless to deal with these thieves......"

Saige's face was murderous, and the soldiers behind him began to draw their knives one after another, all of them looking hideous, and it was finally time for them to hunt.

It's a waste of time to fight with these peasants, and they can't afford to pay for them anyway, so they simply kill them cleanly.

When the time comes, they have robbed the women and looted the wealth, and they can go back to Hammer City to drink a few days of flower wine, and this day is too happy.

"You bandits, you can't do this, run away, flee to the mountains, they are all robbers!"

The old mayor turned his head and shouted loudly, he had thought that there was still room for maneuver, these soldiers were not as fierce as the rumors.

They are somewhat human, but from now on, they are simply a group of animals, where is there humanity at all?

"Old man, you're really in the way, go and die!"

Saige smiled, he pulled out his knife and prepared to end the old man's life with his own hands!
