Chapter 109: Wounded
The sun has risen.
The red fluttering sun, the scarlet sunlight shining on the people, the hill is inexplicably more slaughtering.
The guards who had been sent flying by the cavalry brought by the Marquis of Seeak groaned one by one. The cavalrymen were extremely ruthless, the small leather whips were whipped on the people, the clothes were torn, and the whips were like knives, cutting into the muscles more than half an inch deep.
The blood was flowing, mixed with the sun's rays, and it was dazzling.
Siak approached Joe, his thin old face squirming, he squinted, and his voice threatened Joe, "Joe Rong Wittu, do you know what you just said is slandering an old man who has served the empire all his life?" ”
"Shameless old thing!" Joe gritted his teeth and squeezed a word out between his teeth.
Ever since the day the Special Investigation Team was formed, Director Stein had secretly revealed the true face of the Marquis of Seeak, Joe had been filled with ill feelings towards the old fellow.
At this moment, this old marquis, since he is so unscrupulous, why should Qiao give him a good look?
Joe figured it out for a while, with Duke Ross as his backer, the Vetu family probably didn't have to be afraid of Seeak.
"You ......" One of Siac's old faces turned from red to pale, from pale to iron-blue, and then to full red, and finally his face was red and a little purple.
With a 'whew', Siak lifted his cane forward with his right hand, and the metal cane head slammed into Joe's lower abdomen.
No one thought that the venerable old marquis, the head of the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters in the southern part of the empire, would actually attack Qiao in public, and it was almost a sneak attack and suddenly attacked the vital point.
Even Joe didn't expect Seaak to be so shameless.
The snake-headed metal cane slammed into Joe's lower abdomen, and with a muffled sound, the thick layer of flesh on Joe's belly rippled violently, and his clothes and pants near his lower abdomen exploded, exploding into countless thumb-sized rags.
Joe's uniforms are all good colors that the Vetol family has paid a lot of money for, and the uniform jacket on the upper body is inlaid with a layer of steel wire that can resist the assassination of daggers.
Siyak's blow was unusually heavy, and there was a strange concussive force that shook and fell, shattering his coat and even the steel wire mesh into broken wires.
Some of the wires were blown apart by the strong wind, and some of them pierced into Joe's flesh, and blood spurted out of the wounds.
Joe's body swayed, staggering backwards and backwards, and he looked at Seeak with a gloomy face, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth as he stepped back. Under his torn clothes, there was a fist-sized piece of red on the flesh of a large white flower, that is, in a few breaths, this piece of crimson had faintly turned blue.
"Your Excellency?" Lilith, who was standing on the side, stared at Seack with a bewildered expression.
"Bastard!" Fang, Sigons, Iron Mule, and a few old men of the Vetto family rushed towards Siyak at the same time, and they didn't expect that Siyak would actually do so much, and in front of so many people.
The Cyril family, the Layton family, the Barrett family, the Haydn family, the Doren family, the Kaban family, and several other families all stood in a daze at a loss.
On one side is the second young master of the Vetto family, who has just become the uncrowned king of Port Tulum, and Joe, the most spoiled baby son of Hesse and Leah.
On the one hand, he has real power and has strong connections in the upper echelons of the empire, and he is the head of the imperial intelligence headquarters in Tulun Port, and he has the title of Marquis, Siyak - this old guy's power is not only limited to Tulun Port and the surrounding provinces, he is also responsible for intelligence collection on several countries near Tulun Port, and even the Black Continent on the other side of the stormy ocean.
Help Joe and Sillak against each other? None of them dared to do this without the family's authorization.
Help Seaak punish Joe? This, it seems, is even more inappropriate......
A group of people stayed where they were, silent, as motionless as statues.
In the hands of the thousands of men and women who were in charge of guarding the arrested, nearly a thousand guards and sailors of the Vetu family rushed towards this side with loud insults.
Hundreds of cavalrymen in black uniforms and bowls rode wildly, whipping their whips and lashing wildly at the onrushing veturs' guards and sailors.
The guards of the Wittu family did not use their guns, but drew their swords, sabers, axes, iron rods, and other weapons, and fought with the cavalry.
As soon as the two sides fought, everyone present could see that whether it was the guards of the Weitu family or the sailors, their personal strength was much worse than these cavalry. Especially in terms of cooperation, the two sides are even worse.
The cavalry advanced and retreated freely, cooperated with each other tacitly, and took advantage of the mounts, back and forth between the two conflicts, more than 400 subordinates of the Weitu family were whipped to the ground by the horses, and some were trampled by the hooves of the war horses, the bones of the arms and calves were cut off, and the limbs were strangely twisted.
"Stand down!" Joe clutched his lower abdomen in severe pain and hissed loudly.
Hundreds of subordinates of the Weitu family who were scattered in formation were stunned, they glanced at Qiao, gritted their teeth one by one, supported their companions who were knocked to the ground, and slowly retreated to the side.
Seeak glanced up at Joe in amazement, and then quickly swept his gaze over the blackened bruise on Joe's lower abdomen.
That blow just now, Siyak hit hard.
But Joe's throat just now was full of anger, and the damage he had received was obviously not as severe as Seeak expected...... Siyak's gaze flickered, squinting at Fang, Sgens, Iron Mule, and the others standing in front of him.
"Today's matter, you Ritu family must give an explanation to the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters."
Siak held the monocle on the bridge of his nose with his left hand, and said calmly: "Joe's personal insult to me, I, can not be held accountable." Young people, even if they make mistakes and receive a lesson, they will naturally learn to be more well-behaved in the future. ”
"However, the Wittots wantonly murdered the intelligence officers of the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters and seized the funds for the activities of the Intelligence Headquarters...... You, the Ritu, must give an explanation to the Intelligence Headquarters. ”
Siyak held the head of the cane in his right hand, and the cane slammed heavily on the ground, and the ground within a radius of dozens of feet shook slightly, making a loud sound like an artillery bombardment.
Within this range, people who are slightly weaker only feel that their bodies are constantly shaking, and it becomes difficult to even stand firmly.
"You have to get to the bottom of one thing...... The work of the Intelligence Headquarters is related to the secrets of the Empire, and what you are doing today can be understood as your betrayal of the Empire and your disloyalty to the Empire! ”
Joe coughed heavily, he spat two mouthfuls of blood on the ground, crossed his hands on his hips, and walked to the side of the tooth step by step.
"Sir Sickac, don't say these frightening words, the Vetto family is not afraid of threats...... When I was five or six years old, when I could first remember, the Wells puppies threatened to kill my whole family and sink the Hattu family into the sea. ”
"Twelve or thirteen years have passed since I started to remember, and the Vetu family is alive and well, but the puppies who threatened us back then, they are going to the gallows."
Joe brushed aside his teeth and Strons with both hands, and came to Seaak again.
He bowed his head, put his face in front of Siak's face, and said word by word: "You can pour dirt on the Vetul family with impunity, because your position has such power...... But keep in mind that the Vetols are not so easy to bully. ”
Siyak was silent for a moment, then smiled contemptuously: "Young Master Qiao, this is your attitude towards an old man, an imperial marquis?" ”
Joe touched the hot bruise on his belly, he tilted his head, and smiled at Siyak: "Just now, if you were an ordinary person, you would be dead now, right?" You want to kill me? ”
The faces of Fang, Si Gengs, Iron Mule and the others changed suddenly.
The monkey crouched on Strons' shoulder, he broke open a banana and swallowed the flesh in three or two bites, holding the banana peel in both hands, and staring at Seeak with a sneaky expression.
Siyak, of course, would not pay attention to a monkey.
He looked at Qiao calmly and said indifferently, "You have once again slandered an old nobleman of the empire with high morals...... Joe, do you know that everything you say and do today is causing trouble for your Vettos? ”
"The Vetto family is not afraid of trouble...... Joe coughed, turned his head, and spat a large mouthful of blood on the ground.
He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "You said that Chuck is your subordinate, and their goods are materials raised by the Intelligence Headquarters...... What about the evidence? ”
Marquis Seeak smiled slightly, and he hooked his finger behind him.
A man in black took two steps forward, opened a leather briefcase, pulled out a stack of papers, and handed it to the Marquis of Seejac.
Marquis Seeak patted the documents in his hand, pointed to the scarlet 'Top Secret' handwriting on the head, and sneered, "Are you sure you want to see this evidence?" The top secret of the Empire, do you know what happens to people who don't have enough authority to check it? ”
Joe had already stretched out his hand, but his hand stiffened at the sight of the scarlet 'Top Secret' on the head.
No matter how bad his grades were at the Judicial Academy in Port Tulum, he had been in it for three years after all, and he still knew some of the most basic common sense.
The 'top secret' of the empire, if it is not the owner of the relevant authority, whoever dares to peep at it is a capital crime.
Even if an important imperial minister like Duke Ross secretly peeked into the 'top secrets of the empire' that had nothing to do with her, she might not die, but it was possible to be knighted, imprisoned, or even imprisoned for life.
And a little guy like Joe...... If he dared to take over these documents in Siak's hands, even if he touched them slightly, it would bring great trouble to the entire Rittal family.
"You won...... Flying Fish Chuk, and all the goods in the stacks of the three houses, are yours! ”
Joe spat out another mouthful of blood on the ground, then covered his lower abdomen with his hands in sharp pain, turned around, and left step by step.
