Chapter 40: The Human Heart

The imperial army system is divided into two types, the conventional army and the garrison army, which are both military systems and should be directly under the jurisdiction of the empire, but in addition to the regular army, the garrison army is directly supervised by the local supreme administrator.

In this regard, Rogge is very puzzled, in this way, the rights of those nobles seem to be too strong, and the local military regime can be the king by occupying a mountain, and it is legal, which is more arrogant than the warlords!

I don't know what His Majesty the King thinks, so I'm not afraid that these people will form a small collective, a small group, and get together to talk about revolution or something?!

Of course, it also proves from the side that the imperial army is terrible, and the royal rule is strict, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the imperial army in a remote place like Dale County has no deterrent power at all!

All the small collectives in Dale County, headed by Baron Tours, are particularly rampant, and judging from the information that Owen has, these people are simply evil, especially bullying women of good families, and knocking on widows' doors at night, which has become a glorious cause!

The most prominent thing is that among the three in front of him, Pieru, whose face is almost covered by fat, is walking around the civilian area in the name of patrolling, and when he sees a beautiful girl or woman, he directly corrects the Fa on the spot, which is simply an animal!

But in terms of special fetishes, it belongs to Morgan standing next to Pieru, with a bearded square face, looking quite a gentleman, but Rogge, who knows the truth, almost didn't squirt out the tea, grandma's, Morgan is a soap picker.

That's right, it's picking up soap, and if you want others to pick it up, forget it, the key is to pick it up yourself!

Morgan's usual hobbies are similar to those of Pieru, and he usually patrols the streets with people when he has nothing to do, but when this thing sees the man he likes, he has to throw soap at him!

But how could a normal man be interested in him, for this reason, every time he went out, he still carried 'medicine', thinking about that scene, Rogge couldn't help but shudder!

The last one is particularly hateful, don't look at the kind appearance with a smile, that belly with two basketball smiles doesn't know how much innocent blood has been drunk!

This man's name is Rouen, and according to the documents investigated by Owen, Rouen usually believes in the temple and will shout the words "God temple protection" every time he has done evil deeds.

The temple is a place where the temple is dedicated to the gods, and in this world, the names of the gods cannot be spoken, because in the eyes of these people, it is an act to tarnish the name of the gods.

But you can say that the temple blesses, or the temple shines or something like that, Rogge doesn't know what the temple creed is, but judging by the dogma of the temple to persuade people to do good, Rouen is an out-and-out apostate!

Rouen had a special habit of drinking, but he had to drink it with blood, and even drank it to taste, according to the records, Rouen liked to mix it with the blood of children, and it is said that in his opinion, the blood of children is the most tender, and the younger the better.

For the three people with special hobbies, Rogge was disgusted and resentful.

These three were the baron's cronies, the chiefs of the city guards who had been stationed in Dale County for a long time, and had 3,000 men under his command who were responsible for the protection of the city walls for a long time.

The other 7,000 city defense troops were stationed in the town of Palenque, not far from Dale County, and Rogge learned from the information that unlike the 3,000 people in the city who were sloppy in military discipline, the 7,000 city defense troops outside the city were not subject to strict military discipline, and they were still practicing diligently in peacetime.

Rogge was not surprised by this, after all, he was sitting in the position of a baron, and Walter didn't have two brushes, how could he deter those civilians who were oppressed.

"If you go outside, you must first settle inside!" a smile appeared on the corner of Rogge's mouth: "I'll take you first..."

The imperial garrison is divided into two kinds, one is the security army inside the city, and the other is the city defense army outside the city, the commander of the security army was removed by Owen and replaced by Charles, and the army in Dale County is left with these three thousand security troops!

And because of the large number of city defense troops and the people who belonged to Walter, Owen didn't dare to attack these three commanders at that time, but some of these people's subordinates were disposed of.

Looking at their whispers, they still have fearless expressions, and you can know that these three people didn't take Owen in their eyes at all, if it weren't for the noble name and Owen's presence, they probably wouldn't have bothered to come.

Seeing the three of them looking over, Rogge hurriedly lowered his head, with a cautious expression, took small steps, and walked over...

"This is that Luo Ji kid!?" Morgan looked at Rog who walked in front of him, and recognized Rogge at a glance as the child who was selling on the street two days ago, and raised his eyebrows and said, "What a handsome boy!"

"I don't know where the viscount found such a kid..."Rouen dragged his stomach, stared at Rogge with burning eyes, and sucked his mouth: "I don't know how it tastes?!"

"Okay..."Pieru's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he knew very well the hobbies of the two colleagues in front of him: "Don't hit that kid, you don't know who Owen is, at least converge here..."

When he entered the gate, he saw several guards from the Viscount's Mansion standing on both sides, and when the guards saw Rogge coming, they nodded and saluted, and then took Rogge to Owen's office.

"You're so carefulβ€”" Rogge looked at Owen's office as he watched the guards walk away.

The room is very large, about 30 square meters, with four huge crystal windows, at this time the crimson curtains embroidered with arabesque marks are rolled up, separated on both sides, the room is well lit, and the scenery of the long courtyard outside can be clearly seen through the crystal windows.

The dark brown wooden floors are cleanly polished, a few chairs are neatly arranged around it, and behind the quaint desks, there are three exquisite bookshelves filled with books and documents.

"Most of the people in the executive hall are Walter's people, can you be careless..." Owen saw Rogge come in, picked up a delicate teacup, walked to the window, looked at the three people below, and said slowly: "Charles came here in the morning, you have found a good helper..."

"The others are okay..."Rogge walked to the window, looked down, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Much smarter than the three below." ”

"How about letting them come up?!"

"Yes..."

Saying this, the old and the young looked at each other and smiled, Owen returned to his desk, and Rogge lowered his head and stood aside...

"Captain Rouen!" When the three people downstairs were waiting with their eyebrows, one of the guards came out, saluted the three and said, "Lord Owen has summoned you!"

When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other, and when they heard the meaning of the guard's words, they saw Rouen squinting and asking, "Is there only one me?"

"Yes!" replied the guard, grim, expressionless.

"What does this mean?" Morgan frowned, looked at the two of them, and said coldly without hesitating about the identity of the guards on the side: "Lord Owing summoned us over, and after waiting here for so long, we only saw Rouen alone?!"

"The two commanders don't need to be anxious..."The guard was still expressionless after hearing this, and said rigidly: "Lord Owen will summon the two of them in turn!"

"You..."

"Morgan, don't ask..."Rouen stretched out his hand to stop Morgan, who was still talking: "What can a subordinate know, since Lord Owen has summoned him, then I will go and see first." ”

As he spoke, the two of them, who looked puzzled, walked in.

"Lord Owen!" After entering the house, although Rouen had a kind expression on his face, he unceremoniously sat down on the back chair in the room, put his hands on his stomach, and asked, "My lord, why did you summon me?"

"Do you know about the crackdown in Dale County the day before yesterday?" Owen asked rhetorically as he didn't care about Rouen's rude behavior.

"The movement is so big, how can you not know. Hearing this, Lu Ang frowned, secretly calculated in his heart, but said: "However, why didn't you inform us of the city defense army, what can a soldier like Charles do, I heard that he has arrested a lot of people, many of them are civilians from Dale County, and the families of those people have been crying here for the past two days!"

"Security is not the duty of your city defense army..."Owen said, sitting on the office chair, beckoning Rogge to pour himself tea, staring at Rouen and saying coldly: "As for whether the wrong person is arrested, Lord Viscount has his own decision, and it is not your turn to comment from a small commander!"

"Yes, yes, Lord Viscount's decision will not be wrong. Seeing this, Rouen nodded hurriedly in fright, but with his exaggerated acting skills, anyone could see that he was acting.

"You're not wrong about this..."Looking at Rouen's realization, Owen was used to it, nodded and continued: "Lord Viscount's decision is naturally not wrong, so I summoned you!"

"Oh?!" Rouen puffed his stomach and looked at Owen after hearing this, "I wonder what the Viscount's decision is?"

"Hmph!" Hearing Rouen's inquiry, Owen's face changed, his face was frosty, he stared at Rouen coldly, picked up the documents that had been laid out in advance and handed them to Rogge: "Show this to Captain Rouen!"

"Yes!" Rogge looked like a subordinate, nodded and took the file, and sent it over.

"Take a good look, it's full of transcripts of confessions from captured criminals!" Owen stared at Rouen intently: "Should you give me an explanation?"

After taking the document, Rouen flipped over his hand and looked at it, and what was recorded in it was actually the evil deeds he had committed in recent years, ranging from embezzlement of public funds, murder and bloodletting on the avenue, one by one, and the records were extremely detailed!

After reading it, Rouen was in a cold sweat behind his back, for the above things, Rouen didn't care, there are not many people who know these things, if you really want to check carefully, you can't hide it at all.

And Rouen has a baron's backstage, Rouen never intended to hide it, in his opinion, the entire Dale County is a baron, a viscount who is about to die, how can he put it in his eyes.

What Rouen really cared about was that the records in these documents were so detailed, he was not a fool, and it was impossible for those scoundrels who were caught to know so clearly even if they had done something for themselves.

There are some things in it that he does extremely secretly, only his subordinates know, thinking of this, Rouen is shocked!

Could it be that there is a viscount's eyeliner in his subordinates?!

As soon as this idea came out, the more Rouen thought about it, the more convinced he became, and in an instant several of his subordinates appeared in his mind, the last time the Viscount's Mansion happened, two of his subordinates were not clean and were executed by Owen, and he went back and promoted two more people, both of whom knew the roots.

But those two don't know much about themselves, but who else but them?!

The more Rouen thought about it, the more confused his brain became, and he couldn't help frowning, and looking at Rouen's rapidly changing face, Rogge nodded slowly at Owen, and heard Owen shout loudly: "Captain Roen!

"Lord Owen, no, there is absolutely no such thing, this is a slander!" How can this kind of thing be admitted, Rouen hurriedly shook his head.

Seeing this, the corners of Owen's mouth curled slightly, and he said to Rogge: "Little Rogge, move a chair and help me make a record!"

"Yes, sir!" said Rogge, who brought a chair and sat aside, picked up a pen and paper, and looked up for Rouen to speak.

"Explain one by one?!" At this time, Rouen looked at Owen with a puzzled expression, these things can be denied in one sentence, so why explain them one by one! Isn't it a waste of time to know that Owen can't do anything to himself?

I was suddenly annoyed in my heart, but after all, Owen was a warrior, and Rouen really didn't dare to turn his face with Owen, so he could only endure it secretly, looking at the confession on the document, there was no sentence of explanation, and Rogge was lying on the table and kept recording.

After a long time, Rouen looked at Owen with a slightly red face, his tone lacked the previous kindness, and said slowly: "Lord Owen, I'm done with everything, are you satisfied?"

"Well, it seems that Captain Rouen has been framed, and when I go back, I will report to the Viscount!" Owen said and took out another stack of papers, asked Rogge to hand them to Rouen, and said, "Look at these, I wonder if you know?"

I really don't know what Owen is going to do, Rouen took the document impatiently, but when he saw it, his eyes widened suddenly, the document was written on nothing else, it was the crime of Morgan and Pieru, and it was as detailed as his own!

"Lord Owen... This.. It's!"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask your opinion!"

"Opinions?!" Rouen was vigilant, the three of them were the cronies of the baron, and they naturally knew each other, what kind of people they were, how could they not know?!

Owen took out these things in front of him, and asked his opinion, Rouen reacted instantly, and laughed secretly in his heart, Owen just thought, provoking the three of them, how could he be stupid enough to be fooled?!

"No opinion, Lord Owen..." Rouen raised his head, put the document aside, and said indifferently: "How can you know about the affairs of the two colleagues? ”

"Well, that's right!" Owen thought deeply: "You can go down, let Morgan come up!"

"I can go?!" The sudden change made Rouen stunned, this anticlimactic summons, I really haven't heard of it, it can be seen that Owen doesn't want to say more, Rouen has to walk out with a stomach full of questions!

At this time, Morgan and Pieru were already waiting anxiously outside, but they couldn't see Rouen coming down, so they could only stand.

"What the hell is this, that you need to ask for such a long time?" Pieru rubbed his hands, standing outside in this weather, it was uncomfortable, but he couldn't leave, and he was angry for a while.

"Here we are!" Just then, the door opened, and Rouen walked out.

"What the hell is going on? so long?" the two hurriedly went up and asked.

"Hmph, but I got some confessions from prisoners..."Although he felt that there was something wrong with the matter, Rouen still said it briefly, and finally said: "Morgan, remember what I said when you go in, don't talk nonsense!"

"You think I'm stupid?!" Morgan's heart fluttered when he learned what had happened, and it was too superficial for Owen to play such a trick.

After entering, Owen didn't say a word about what Rouen said, took the tea, and asked about the city defense with an enthusiastic face, until after a long time, he walked out with a stomach full of questions.

When he saw Rouen, Morgan suddenly realized, and sneered in his heart, what an Owen, this is to make the three of us suspicious of each other, but how can you succeed, and immediately said: "Just do what Rouen says, it's nothing more than those miscellaneous things." ”

And after Pieru entered, Owen didn't say a word, but was sent out after a while.

The whole thing was in the clouds from beginning to end, but they agreed that it was a superficial ploy designed by Owen to make the three of them suspicious of each other.

But if the three of them said that they didn't have their own ideas, it was impossible, and with their own doubts, as soon as they left the gate of the administrative hall, they saw several of their most powerful subordinates waiting outside.

After asking, I found out that it was Owen who summoned him, and the three of them had different thoughts about it, Rouen was naturally thinking about the viscount's eyeliner, Morgan secretly laughed at Owen's stupidity, and Pieru frowned and couldn't think of a reason.

In the office, Rogge picked up the paper in his hand and handed it to Owen, and said with a smile: "How do you think I write?"

"Not bad, not bad..."Looking at Rogge's handwriting, Owen was surprised: "Where did you learn these things at a young age?!"

When Owen summoned the three of them, Rogge had been writing with his head down, but it was not a transcript of a confession, but an imitation of the handwriting of the three of them, and since Rog came, Owen had already prepared the official documents that the three had written in the past few years.

And with Rogge's brain and insight, it is not difficult to imitate a person's notes at all!

"I said that some people were surprised by my bones and passed me a set of exercises to strengthen my body..."Rogge said with an eyebrow.

"You kid..." Seeing that Rogge didn't want to say more, Owen didn't ask anymore, with his understanding of Rogue during this time, this kid is by no means a person who can tell the secret in his heart by coercion and temptation, and immediately looked at the captain of the city defense who came outside, Owen said: "Are you really sure?"

"Naturally, you are sure, those three people who think they are very smart and stupid, haven't you noticed that once someone asks about today's events, no matter what they say, the confession is not right, you just wait to watch the show!"

After speaking, Rogge stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked out of the window with a playful expression, and said with a hint of ridicule and unsettling: "In this world, as long as there are people's hearts, there is no iron bucket!"
