Chapter 55: The Leader (I)
The trial continued, applause. Cheers. Shouts.
The sound in the center of the square was so loud that it could hardly be heard by anyone outside the town. It can be imagined how excited the people at the scene should have been, what a fanatical attitude they should have at that time.
Maybe people's surnames are like this, maybe human beings are naturally lively, and the occurrence of many things may not be related to the question of good and evil, right and wrong.
No matter what happened to someone in life, often after the person's death, many incidents will be pulled out and revealed to the world.
There are good and bad. However, most of them are still evil. Many things that were afraid to say or embarrassed to say before death often spread among the crowd at the fastest speed after someone's death.
What's more, the tax officer Bakar was not a good person during his lifetime, although he did not kill people and set fires, but he did not do evil things by virtue of his power.
Therefore, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and after his death, the accusations continued to fall on him.
Most of them are true and there is evidence to follow, but there are also a small number of crimes that are purely fictitious, and they are completely the product of some people falling into the well to seek benefits.
However, at this time, it is the time of everyone's big carnival, and how many people can pay attention to these details?
Even if Romon noticed, but, with his thoughts, he still wished that the tax officer's force would fall as hard as possible, so how could he explain anything to his opponent?
Anyway, the person is already dead and killed by him, and the more unforgivable the other party's crime, the lighter his responsibility.
Although the second lady and others proved that he was killing in self-defense, the other party was a member of a noble family, and Luo Meng was still afraid that the other party would overturn the case one day, and only by constantly putting a hat on the other party's head would it be conducive to his own safety.
What's more, Bakar was killed by him at a chance, but what about the priest? he had to find a way to do it once and for all.
Therefore, he chooses to ignore this ugliness hidden under the surface of the great harmony.
"You have sinned so much...... and at this time, on the high platform in the center of the square, Pastor Tenis is pronouncing the sentence of an accomplice to the tax collector's case.
The young man in the white priest's robe was a little pale at this time, and his voice was a little hoarse, but under the gaze of everyone, he still barely maintained his composure, and insisted on reciting the priest's words before the verdict was pronounced sentence by sentence.
In front of Pastor Ternis, two men were shaking with their heads bowed.
It was none other than the two people who accompanied Bakar to the appointment. At this time, they still have the same arrogance as they did at the beginning, and they who have lost their backers are not as good as a lost dog.
Because the first evil Bakar has been executed, the trial of the accomplice is not too important, and it is only placed at the end.
The second lady was speaking with her father, Lord Lord, and as a priest, Pastor Tenis also had the responsibility and obligation to preside over the meeting.
So, although in Pastor Ternis's mind, he didn't want to go on stage to read the verdict, but because of his responsibilities, he couldn't shirk it.
As he read it, Pastor Turnis's gaze wandered around, constantly observing the reactions of those below, lest others see his uneasiness.
Yes, uneasy.
Ever since he learned that Bakar had been killed, he suddenly had a feeling of sadness that the rabbit had died.
Although Bakar and he were only in a relationship of mutual use, with the death of the other party, he gradually lost confidence in his own safety.
There was a knot between him and Romon, and even if you elaborate, it seems that it was him, not Bakar, who was against Romon in the first place.
Now, Bakar has been killed by Romon, no matter whether the other party killed in self-defense or deliberately, anyway, the person was killed by Romon.
People died, and they became infamous and spurned, and this result made Pastor Tenis really feel cold. It also made him worry about his situation.
He was not an aristocrat, he relied on a powerful church behind him, but now he suddenly found that his little sense of superiority was no longer enough to be a means to deal with Romon, and this realization made him feel uneasy.
Suddenly, his wandering gaze met someone in the crowd, and he was stabbed with a taunt in the other's eyes, and Pastor Turnis's voice trembled visibly as he read it.
“...... On behalf of the Temple, I punish you...... Deprive you of your freeman status and hang ...... immediately" quickly realized his gaffe, Pastor Turnis quickly withdrew his gaze, and then, looking at his nose and nose, he meticulously read all the sentences that followed.
Seeing a few soldiers coming up, dragging the two away like dead dogs, when the two long wailing was gone, he finally exhaled, and then walked off the stage and wiped the sweat on his head where no one was.
Thinking of the piercing gaze that Luo Meng suddenly cast just now, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
Yes, Romon will never let him go!
If he doesn't find a way to strike first soon, then he will become the next Bakar.
The Square Council was a success, at least, everyone except Lord Lords and Pastor Tenis thought so. Seeing that the crowd had slowly dispersed, the lord also ordered someone to drive the carriage over and sit on it.
"Elini, go back. Seeing that the second daughter was still standing in place, looking at the young man not far away, the lord's face became more and more ugly, and he lifted the curtain and shouted.
"Father, I still have to go back to the temple to study for the lesson, so I won't go back with you. Eleni was looking at Romon and at the young man, but when she was called out by her father, she immediately came to her senses.
However, thinking that she still had something to do at the temple, she refused her father's offer to take her back to the castle. Seeing that his daughter would not go back, the lord became more and more depressed and got back into the carriage, and then ordered the carriage to start.
Listening to the noise getting farther and farther away from him, the lord, who was already preoccupied, became more and more worried at this time. Just now, he even had a hint of murder against Romon . However, if he really wants to do it, he can't afford not to think it carefully.
Killing a civilian, for him, is easy, killing a second-level druid, it's not too difficult, however, there are some negative effects, and it's too difficult to do this seamlessly under the attention of his daughter.
"Lord Baron, there is a group of adventurers gathering in front of you, blocking the way, do you need your subordinates to go down and reprimand them?" asked the coachman suddenly, outside.
The lord frowned, and was about to give the order to be done, but soon, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and the gloom that had been hanging on his face was swept away.
"No, when they're gone, the carriage will pass. With a rare good-natured command, the lord rested his head on the soft pillow in the car, and the corners of his mouth pulled an arc.
At the same time, Romon had returned to the pharmacy and was hiding in his room counting the silver coins.
A pocket of silver coins was placed in front of him, which was awarded to him by the Second Lady on behalf of the Temple and her father at the meeting of the square.
In fact, one of the two bags that Bakar brought with him when he went to the appointment was about a hundred silver coins.
At the beginning, Romon offered Bakar a thousand silver coins, and Bakar did go to the appointment with the money. Probably worried that Romon would take the move of looking at the money first and then handing over the goods.
And most of this huge amount of money was taken into public ownership, that is, into the pocket of the lord. A small part of the compensation was given to some of the sufferers, and the rest was given to Romon as a reward. Luo Meng counted the money, happy, but somewhat regretful.
In fact, he is not short of money now, but compared to money, he lacks a land that truly belongs to him.
It's a pity that in this world, even if you have money, if you want to have a piece of land that really belongs to you, you still need to get the approval of the lord.
A place like Jafa in the forest was also built with the permission of the lord.
As a second-level druid, if there is a homestead and medicinal field that truly belongs to him, then it will be of great help both in cultivation and in dealing with medicinal herbs in the future. After all, the herbs in the space are harvested four times a year, which is inconsistent with the harvest time of this world, if you can have a place to build a greenhouse like Jiefa, then not only can you have more land and plants to cultivate your druid ability, but it is also a good shield for yourself to deal with space herbs.
Moreover, in the previous life, Luo Meng's residence was a very bright one, with a garden in front and a yard, and in his spare time, he could also plant some green vegetables in front of the two-story building where he lived.
Accustomed to living in that kind of house, Romon felt very awkward about the small residential space at that time.
In the past, there was no money, so everything could only be endured, but now that he has money, he has to continue to endure it, which is simply a pain for Romong.
After receiving the silver coins in the space and storing them, Luo Meng lay flat on the bed, thinking about how to have a house and medicine field of his own.
Just then, Nick pushed the door in and said, "Romon, Lord Lordship sent someone to call you over. ”
"Your Excellency is looking for me?" After getting dressed and coming out, I found that a person who looked like a guard was waiting in the lobby of the pharmacy.
When he saw Romon come out, he was not polite, and directly asked the leader to see him and asked him to immediately follow the castle and tell him about it.
Since it was the lord who asked people to come and call him, Luo Meng naturally couldn't shirk it, so he could only follow this person all the way to the castle.
Along the way, the guards didn't speak, and Luo Meng asked a few words, but when he saw that the other party was unwilling to answer, he had to give up. Finally, after walking for a while, a castle appeared in front of them.
