"Kill them!" said Old John pulled out a dagger and shot Hook without hesitation.

Hook saw the sharp dagger fly towards his heart with a strong wind, and he was immediately frightened, and the strange screams that came out of his mouth were twisted and distorted.

A hand reached over and grasped the volley of daggers with ease. Hook, who had escaped death, breathed a sigh of relief, and then he only felt that his muscles and bones were so weak that he couldn't stand, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground, and a foul smell of liquid flowed out of his crotch, and he became incontinent.

"What's going on?"

Seeing the sheriff in civilian clothes hiding behind Hook and the others, the old mercenaries secretly complained.

"My lord, they killed our companions! Yesterday we had four men who came to drink, and they killed them when they mixed it with water, and they are still buried outside the town. Today we came to them to theorize, and they killed another one. Look, look, the corpse is still pumping, it's still pumping。。。。。。 Hook sat on the ground and said incoherently, pointing to Barry's corpse.

The sheriff glanced at a stinking Hook in disgust. This idiot is full of flaws in what he says! It is better not to speak.

"Kill people in public, you will be hanged! Someone will arrest them!" Without waiting for John and the others to explain, the sheriff waved his hand, and the guards hiding outside the door of the hotel immediately swarmed in.

"My lord, I killed the man! I'll go with you!" shouted old John.

In front of this scene, everyone understands that this is a bureau, and now there is no point in any justification, it is better to simply bear it alone than to be served in a pot, not to mention that there is no way out.

Old John gestured to an old fellow covertly. The old mercenary understood that Old John wanted him to take the family crest that Victor had left them, which would prove that they were vassals of the nobility, and this was how Old John lived.

If the lord wants the town under his name to prosper, it is essential to maintain a relatively just order. Theft, robbery, rape, murder, these serious crimes are expressly prohibited.

For a crime like killing someone in the street, the prevailing law is to hang the murderer. But this is not absolute.

Generally speaking, freedmen killed freedmen to be hanged, but if a nobleman's vassal killed a freeman, that was debatable.

Vassals are the basis for the lord to rule the territory, they are closely related to the interests of the lord, if their vassals are killed by other lords, it will always make the lord very unhappy, and it is inevitable that he will not retaliate when he gets the opportunity.

Therefore, the usual way to deal with such a thing as a vassal killing a freeman in the street is to arrest the criminal and hand it over to his lord to deal with. No lord wants to be stiff with other lords over such a trivial matter, unless it is a rival family.

As for how the lord deals with the criminal vassals, it depends on the status and interests of the lords.

Your subordinates have broken my rules, and I will pay you back. When you're going to give me an explanation!

It's natural, how about I pay you 100 gold soles?

I'm very upset that you killed someone in public today and made me bow to that guy! Whip you 40 lashes, you go back and start with the people! Everyone else's eyes will brighten up a little in the future, don't make trouble for me!

This is a practice between equal lords.

Your subordinates broke my rules today, and I gave them 100 lashes in public, and you can take them back.

Thank you, sir, I will take the people back and clean them up, my lord, this is the 1000 gold sol I compensate you for.

Don't say anything, take care of your injuries, sir, I still expect you to help the family expand the territory.

It's a big lord vs. a small lord.

If it's a small lord against a big lord, then hehe.

Of course, this is only for vassals and freemen, and if a vassal kills a vassal, that is a different matter.

Old John thought that the current situation was because he had lost face with Balor, so he asked the sheriff to clean himself up, after all, it was also because the gang leader thought they were free people without a settlement.

I'm just afraid I'm going to bleed this time, at least 400 kinsols. Thinking of this, Old John was a little distressed.

It would cost at least 200 gold soles to be able to bring in a sheriff to deal with them, and the sheriff of Blackcastle was a probationary knight.

After this matter is over, the mission that the Lord told us to lurk in has failed, and we can only go to the territory to ask the Lord to excuse our guilt, and before leaving, we must kill Balor!" Old John thought viciously.

At the beginning, fearing the revenge of the Wimbledon family, Victor asked the old mercenaries to hide their identities and lurk in the town of Blackcastle to keep an eye on the movements of the royal capital.

Although Victor did not tell Old John the specific details, as an experienced old mercenary, he could also guess that there were nobles who wanted to deal with Victor, so they never dared to expose their relationship with Victor, but they were coveted by hyenas.

It's just that Victor didn't know that the marquis didn't send someone to punish him. In Sophia's eyes, as long as the family's support for Victor is cut off, it is the biggest punishment for him, because Sophia thinks that Victor will only be eaten by Silvia and there is no scum left! Unfortunately, she doesn't know that Victor is no longer her pet, and he has also successfully aroused Silvia's interest.

Your abandoned child has become someone else's idle child, but even an idle child can stumble on the chess game, and now the human world, the undercurrent is surging, and the waves are treacherous, who can not be a chess piece?

"Stop, take one more step, shoot them all at once!" just as the old mercenary was about to go upstairs to get the family coat of arms, but was stopped by the sheriff.

The old mercenaries were pointed at by a dozen Shangxuan crossbows and couldn't move, and their hearts sank to the bottom, this is a dead end!

Today's events smell weird. Although there are laws in the town, but for the sheriff, the death of a free citizen is really not a big deal, and it can be settled by spending a little money, and old John thought of using the family coat of arms, just to find a basis for dialogue with the sheriff, after all, the identity of a free citizen cannot bargain with the sheriff.

But now, the use of a killing weapon like the crossbow means that the sheriff is here to suppress them, not to extort them.

Old John understood in a flash, and today his gang of guys calculated that they were planted!

It must be that these people are too careless in their words, and their wealth is exposed, which makes those hyenas smell it, and Barol found out the details of their mercenaries and found that he couldn't swallow them, so he sold the sheriff's favor, and cooperated with the sheriff to set up this dead end.

There is no point in resisting, not to mention being pointed at by a dozen crossbows, even the sheriff alone can clean up all his cripples.

took out the coat of arms of Lord Victor and showed his vassal status, and there was no way to live. Because it's too late, it's almost the same as taking the initiative to show it out in advance!

Don't look at the front and back, one active and one passive, the result is a world of difference.

If the sheriff reveals his intention to kill and rob money, reveal his identity. The sheriff can still stop in time and make some extra money. Of course, these people will inevitably be expelled, but they will not be killed. Because the shadows who can take the initiative to reveal their identities will not be dead men with bad intentions, just drive them away, there is no need to kill them. This is a tacit understanding between the lords, who doesn't have someone to collect intelligence outside?

But now, the cross bow is pointed to the head, and the sheriff's murderous heart is undoubtedly revealed, and at this time, there are only two possibilities to show his secret identity, first, the sheriff will arrest himself and others for interrogation and investigation, if the background is very large, he will naturally hand it over to his lord to deal with, maybe there will be merit. Second, if it is a small lord's person, then be decisive and deal with it cleanly, after all, if the sheriff's murder and robbery are known by the boss, if the fat difference is gone, there are many people staring at this position. Anyway, the little lord can only pretend not to know.

And his own Lord Victor doesn't even have a family knight。。。。。。 It's a little lord!

Old John knew the way of this, when they cooperated with the Lord of Duoduo to clear the Sassan shadows, how many other family secrets were uprooted, and those magistrates made a lot of money, and he was used to this method.

Old John was secretly struggling on the floor with his wooden prosthetic legs, and he wanted to leave a secret note for Nelson to indicate two messages, the gangster and the sheriff.

It's not about getting Nelson to avenge them, it's about leaving Nelson with two trails to follow. Otherwise, the inexplicable disappearance of his gang will definitely be traced to the end, whether it is out of years of comradeship, or to find out whether it is a conspiracy against the family.

With the random investigation that made Nelson like a headless fly, it was better to point out the direction to this kid, so as not to make the family suffer any unnecessary losses.

Old John noticed that several old fellows were quietly doing the same thing, and couldn't help but smile slightly, they were all old brothers who were eating in a bowl, and this tacit understanding was really needless to say.

If you die, you will die, anyway, there will be a lot of people to bury us! After the sheriff finds out the identity of our vassals, all the people of Balor will be exterminated. Speaking of my own people, they should have died a long time ago, and they have dragged the mercenary group for so many years, if it weren't for Lord Victor's appreciation, they would really drag the war bear down, but if we want to leave the war bear mercenary group by ourselves, how can we be willing to blame it? If you want to blame yourself for the rough work of these people, so that the adults have lost a lot of money, I hope Lord Victor will not blame Nelson and them.

Old John thought silently.

If Victor knew about this, he would have regretted it, he was completely worried that these old and disabled mercenaries would not be able to travel long distances, so he arranged for them to stay in Blackcastle Town, and because of a whim, let them hide their identities to collect information. But the two personalities on his side of the will have no experience in managing the family, and they don't even know the concept of a shadow, and the old mercenary obviously doesn't know how to be a shadow, which led to such a thing.

The reality is like this, the whims of a big man often bring ruin to the little people, and Victor, although a small lord, is also a big man for ordinary people.

"My lord, we surrender, we go with you. ”

"Come out one by one, don't play tricks. The sheriff warned.

Seeing the old mercenaries come out one by one, the sheriff also secretly praised them, worthy of eating mercenary meals, and being very single.

"Seal this place and take all these prisoners away. The sheriff instructed his men.

"Oh, sir, we said yes! That's not what Lord Balor told me. ”

Seeing that the sheriff's men had kicked them out of the hotel as well, Hook was a little anxious, they hadn't caught a copper sol yet.

"Get out!"

The sheriff's whip whipped Hook and rolled on the ground, wailing loudly, while the mercenaries sneered, and the hyenas didn't know they were dying.

The sheriff's guards escorted the old mercenaries down the street towards the police station, and the people around them were dodging, they didn't want to get angry because they were watching the excitement.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and the sheriff's team was fixed in place, only to see a strong man in armor and carrying a double axe, blocking the middle of the road, it was Nelson, who had just arrived in Blackcastle.

"Kid Nelson!"

"Captain!"

Nelson's appearance surprised the old mercenaries, and now they have a way to live!

Seeing that dozens of well-equipped aristocratic guards on the opposite side rushed over one after another, the sheriff's face was grim, and he felt that it was going to be bad!

The strong man on the other side put a lot of pressure on him, just lifting the axe, there was a fishy smell coming to his face, this was the smell of iron and blood! Looking at his fine armor and the guards around him, it showed that this was a lord's guard, and it was probably a knight.

The sheriff drew his sword, and he now regretted that he hadn't come out in the scale armor, but he couldn't retreat, it was his duty.

"Who are you who dare to stop the Black Castle Town Public Security Station to escort criminals?!" The sheriff said coldly, even a knight could not let him bow his head, and he did not believe that anyone would dare to challenge the authority of the House of York in Black Castle.

"Stop!"

Just as the sword was rattling, a familiar voice came from a carriage behind.

"Lord Bruce!" the sheriff exclaimed in surprise, but he was a little surprised when he saw Bruce walk up to the strange knight and pat the knight on the shoulder.

"Shaks, what's going on?"

A pleasant voice like a clear spring also came from the other side, and then Sheriff Shaks saw a tall and graceful figure approaching.

"Nicole?" shouted Shacoth in surprise, he knew that Nicole was the Countess's personal bodyguard, and now she seemed to be in the same league as the other side.

Immediately afterwards, he saw four familiar family trainee knights, also coming from behind, one by one with shy faces surrounding Nicole。。。。。。

"Master Bruce, these are some of my old buddies......." Nelson pleaded with Bruce as he put away his tomahawk.

Bruce nodded, and he asked Shax, "What's going on?"

Shaks secretly complained, but he also honestly recounted what happened and briefly recounted it.

"Excuse me, a freeman, they are all vassals of Baron Wimbledon. Bruce said lightly, he also knew about Shax's small means, and he just wanted to make a profit.

With a wave of his hand, his men immediately untied the ropes from the old mercenaries and let them go.

"Shaks, who are those?" asked Nicole with a faceless face, raising her spiky, charming chin at Hook and the others.

"They, some scum!" said Shaks disapprovingly, looking back.

A cold glint flashed in Nicole's eyes, and she took her sheathed sword and met Hook's gang.

I saw her, her footsteps sliding, flowing in the middle of the gang, shuttling back and forth, "poof", "poof", "poof" "poof" sheathed long swords, one by one accurately knocked on the back of the heads of those villains, and when they passed, the crowd fell down one after another, and in an instant, these outlaws were all killed.

Let you seek to seize Victor's inheritance!

"Nicole! You're already a knight?!" Shax shouted in shock.

Just now, Nicole used all the family martial arts he was familiar with, but Nicole used it in a mellow and natural way, making those scum irresistible, and her power was freely retracted and condensed accurately, and every villain was shot in the back of the head and shocked to death, not a single head was cracked, and not even a drop of blood was seen. It was precisely because her attacks were light and deadly yet not tragic that the outlaws did not let out a single scream...... They don't even know what's going on?

"Hmph!" Nicole gave Shax an angry look, turned her head and walked back to the carriage, and Bruce's four servants followed the knight again.

This guy is the worst! The idea has hit Victor's head, and he must go to Madame to sue him! But he has a good eye, and he can see that this knight is already a knight.

I really don't know, if Victor knew that Nicole also had such a ruthless side, would he dare to talk to her again.

"Shaks, let me introduce you, this is Baron Wimbledon's captain of the bodyguard, Nelson. He's the bear of the Northland who killed the knights of the Tartus family with one move!" Bruce pulled Shax and said, Shaks is the sheriff of Blackcastle after all, and he has deep roots, so it is only right to introduce him to Nelson, so let him go if there is a little misunderstanding.

"Lord Shaks, why don't we have a drink together, I have brought a lot of good wine from the territory this time, you will definitely like it. Nelson affectionately told Shax that he was also informed about Bruce's kindness.

"Oh! good!" Shaks was shocked again.

"Don't rush to drink, Shax has your men clean up here, and then escort our convoy to Rose Manor, this time we killed an alien rat. Bruce hurriedly stopped.

Shaks was shocked, he just felt that today must be his shock day.

As for those gangsters, Bruce didn't even look at them again, and after a while, someone would naturally drag them away, maybe buried in the pit from yesterday.
