False...

Confusion...

"Baixa! Remember, it can't be said ... Don't say that Chino is a visitor... Remember what I told you before! As soon as he falls, you and I will be implicated and reckoned! Don't say it! ...”

Baixa was shackled, and the guards in charge of escorting him stood on either side, preparing to escort him into the prisoner's car, and his ears kept echoing Paladin's anxious admonitions before he was arrested, and the auditory hallucinations continued to sound, and cold sweat fell.

"He's the only one in the family?" One of the guards asked.

Another guard was looking through the list and nodded, "Baisar Hujer, the military commander of Twilight, previously served in the border guards of Shilin Town, his parents died when he was young, and he has no wife or children so far, and he is the only one on the family tree. ”

"Very lucky." The guard said something that seemed out of place, but was actually very correct.

Fatherless, motherless, wifeless, and childless, this kind of lonely life is something that no one wants to experience.

But in the face of the unshakable net of heaven and earth in the kingdom, this loneliness has become extremely lucky.

As he was put into the prison car, his mind still blank, he thought that he had experienced so many storms and waves, and that he should be able to think very calmly about countermeasures on such occasions.

But when disaster did strike, he found that he could not think of anything in his mind, only a blank space.

Just as the guards were about to pull up the cage door, Baixa suddenly saw Paladin's figure.

As the guards say, he was lucky, and Paladin was unlucky.

The arrest was a joint arrest, and all those involved in Chino were arrested, along with their families.

Paladin's parents are dead, but his wife and daughter are still alive, and he has long since taken them to Twilight, where the family lives together.

At this time, the two mothers and daughters were all implicated and arrested indiscriminately by the Guards Corps.

Paladin's wife, wearing shackles and a chain with Paladin, wept and cried after him.

The 10-year-old girl was not threatening and was given the gift of being free from the flail, but she was also so frightened that she cried because of the arrest of her parents, and held Paladin's waist tightly.

Baixa subconsciously called, "Paladin..."

Paladin was also the master of the six gods at this time, and when he heard the call, he suddenly turned his head to look at Baiza.

Paladin's eyes were wide open in horror, his mouth opening and closing, not daring to make a sound, but only mouth-molding.

Baiza's mind was blank, and the guards quickly closed the cage door, so he didn't react for a while.

It wasn't until the journey to the royal city that Baiza suddenly came back to his senses and finally realized that Paladin was talking about...

"No... Yes... Say..."

...

"Click, click, click." The regular tapping of fingers on the table summoned a distracted Baiza.

This is a quaint interrogation room, the layout is simple and clean, tables and chairs are placed on both sides, there are no frightening torture instruments, but because there are no windows, only by the faint candlelight, it seems that the room is very dim, and the figures are looming, and at the same time it brings an unspeakable sense of oppression.

The presiding judge's voice came from the shadows: "You were distracted just now, what were you thinking?" ”

Baixa muttered, "Nothing... It's just a distraction..."

Presiding Judge: "Then I'll repeat my question again - you and Administrator Chino... More precisely, he was a civil servant in Shilin at the time, how did you and Chino civil affairs meet? ”

Baiza swallowed his throat subconsciously and did not avoid the question: "There is nothing special, I was called into the army at the age of 16 and joined the border guards of Shilin Town, under the jurisdiction of the civil magistrate of Chino, and I met him at the enlistment ceremony, that's all. ”

Presiding Judge: "How did the Civil Governor of Chino treat you?" ”

"Not bad." Baixa gave a very perfunctory reply.

Presiding Judge: "Do you fear him?" ”

Baixa: "Of course, he is my commander, and it is the principle of a soldier to revere his commander. ”

The conversation was abruptly interrupted, and the room fell silent, and the figure in the darkness seemed to disappear, but if you looked closely, you could see that he was still sitting there, only with the chair leaning back behind him.

Soon, the voice of the chief judge sounded again: "Record, lie against the interrogation." ”

"Lying against interrogation, documented." The sound of the deputy judge writing the record sounded in Baiza's ears, and his heart became cold.

Presiding Judge: "According to the information I have obtained, your border guards in Shilin Town are not in awe of the civil servant of Chino, because he is from a down-to-earth aristocratic background and has a weak personality, and many people in the border guards do not accept him to rely on the power of the family, so they are very uncooperative in their daily work. I guess you're not an exception, right? ”

Baisa panicked, and subconsciously argued: "We really didn't cooperate very well before, but he later became strict with the law, rewards and punishments were clear, and our attitude changed accordingly.

"So, that information is true." The chief judge interrupted Baiza, his voice as steady as the water of a well, "One day, the personality of the civil magistrate of Chino suddenly changed, as if he had become a different person? ”

Baixa was silenced for a while, not knowing how to speak.

But in fact, silence itself is an affirmative answer.

Judge: "What day is it?" ”

Baixa was silent.

"Record it, silence against censorship." As the deputy judge took up the pen and wrote, the voice of the chief judge came unhurriedly, "Last year, that is, on the 8th day of the divine blessing of the 512th year of the Huoyao calendar, the smuggling merchant Vic Millo entered from Shilin Town, and was found to be carrying salt crystals in his body, and all the members of the caravan were killed. ”

"The next day, in the early hours of the morning of the 9th, the chief of the border guards of Shilin Town, who had offended the civil magistrate of Chino the most, Steven William, disappeared and has not been heard from since."

"On the morning of the same day, in the black market of Xilin Town, a black market merchant known as 'Donald', had his tongue pulled out due to trading problems and choked to death by his own blood."

"Bang." The information was thrown on the table, and the sound made Baiza tremble unconsciously, and the voice of the chief judge came: "It was then that the personality of the civil magistrate of Chino changed drastically, and it has continued to this day, and all of this is in the eyes of you witnesses. ”

Baisa bit his lower lip hard, and asked with a pale face: "You have already found out, why are you still asking me?" ”

Judge: "Because I want to help you." If the magistrate of Chino is identified as an extraterrestrial visitor, he will either become a living specimen of an alchemist or will be executed for a blasphemous felony, and his men will not escape the implication. You think that if you keep silent and don't say anything, you will be safe then? ”

Baixa pursed his lips tightly, his clenched fists so hard that his nails sank into his skin and kept bleeding.

Presiding Judge: "Baiza, I have learned from the soldiers and civilians of Twilight that you are a soldier with a sense of justice, and many of your deeds are very admirable to me. Is it true that a righteous soldier like you is willing to keep a secret for a potential blasphemer and be implicated in his death? ”
