Chapter 73: Confrontation

Georgia was about to say anything more at this time, but when he saw the captain of Yaheng's guard escorting the few people they had brought from outside, he was dumbfounded in despair. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Say it. Otherwise, let you know how powerful the Nord family is. White said to the men who had been escorted.

"We don't know anything, my lord, we all wholesale apples from Abel and sell them to our guests. Several vendors complained one after another.

The captain of the A-Heng Guard took a few bags and threw them on the ground, saying, "Are these apples from your respective shops?"

"Yes. Several of the vendors replied, and they all clearly remembered that when Yaheng and the others rushed into their shop and savagely took them away, they took the bag in their store and took half a bag of apples with them.

White picked up a few apples and said, "We have made marks on these apples, and these marks are made quietly by the many apple trees that I specially ordered the manor guards to do some time ago. He handed the apples he picked up to show everyone that there were inconspicuous scratches on the bottom of each apple.

"So far, I have screened the apples sent out by our estate to ensure that all the apples sent out are free of these scratches. How can you sell apples from our estate?!" Superintendent White shouted to a few vendors.

"We don't know, we all get it wholesale from Abbel. Several of the peddlers were terrified, the Nords were not something they dared to offend, and they all pointed to the man named Abel next to them.

All eyes looked at Abel. By this time, his legs were shaking very much.

"Say!" the captain of the Aheman Guard yelled at him.

When Able heard this roar, he couldn't help but fall to his knees in fright.

"I, I said. I bought the apple from Georgia. He told me to keep our dealings a secret, I, I, I didn't know he was from the Nord family. Abel said with a shudder.

Georgia gritted her teeth, "This hypocrite. ”

Director White glared at Georgia, "What else do you have to say?!"

Georgia fell to her knees, "At this point, you can kill or chop as you please." Wife, children, parents, I'm sorry for you. ”

His family wept. According to the law, if the owner of the manor steals or sells the goods of the lord of the manor in large quantities, or if the circumstances are serious, the whole family of the man must be involved, especially if all his family members actually know and participate in it.

Suddenly, a branch director shouted, "This is all done by Georgia alone, we don't know about it!"

"Yes, yes, he did it alone, and we have nothing to do with it. The other branch directors shouted.

"It has nothing to do with you, that is, all the harvest of your branch has been handed over to the main house?" asked Superintendent White.

"Yes. We've all turned it in. The outflow to the outside market is Georgia's branch. The head of the garden exclaimed justifiably.

Chief White smiled slightly, turned to the chief of the guard, and said, "Yaheng, show him the apple marked by his branch." ”

Yaheng rummaged through several apple bags, and finally took out an apple with a slight scratch side for everyone to see. Everyone was at a loss, and they didn't know what these scratches represented, and they weren't scratched randomly.

"As you can see," White said, "we made different marks to distinguish which manor was coming from the apple. And in our search, apples flowed out of every estate. ”

The heads of the branches, look at me, and I see that you are scared.

"It doesn't have to be that we smuggled out. Anyone can smuggle it out. A sub-manor quibbled.

White looked at the brothers Alva and Alvin. Alvin glanced at his brother Alva, and then said alone, "We are in charge of transporting the apples out." We've been to every branch director's house, and they've all been involved in it. ”

"Now that there is human and material evidence, don't you know how to repent?" Don't you know how to confess leniently and resist strictly?" White roared.

"The manor lord spares his life!" all the branch directors knelt down one after another, begging the manor chief to spare his life.

Everyone looked at the manor.

"Hmph!" Haber, the head of the manor, who had been silent, spoke, "I'm angry, very angry! My Nord family has been standing on the Moses continent for nearly a thousand years. In addition to relying on the strong strength of the family, it is also inseparable from the family's consistent virtue and benevolence. Ask which country and which family in the entire continent of Moses did not have slaves. And when it comes to treating slaves well, there is no family that can compare to my Nord family. However, being so kind to you has made you so greedy, do you want us to return to the pre-slave era!!"

"Ahh

The so-called pre-slave era was the period when the slave code was not born, and slaves at that time were treated inhumanely, and lived like a tool and an object. It was not until 500 years ago that a slave hero named Ebutt was born, who led all the slaves to resist the oppression of the slave owners, they struck, went on hunger strike, fled, and even resisted by force, although it ended in failure, but it also forced the entire continent to rethink the rights of slaves, and finally formulated and promulgated the "Slave Code", which gradually quelled the slave rebellion.

Most of the slaves inside and outside the courtyard knew the darkness of the pre-slave era, and they knew that there were still many slave owners who still treated their slaves in a cruel and brutal way, despite the constraints of the Slave Code. Therefore, when the chief of Haber Manor said such a thing, he was all terrified.

"That's all I have to say, and I hope you will do it for yourself. After speaking, the head of Haber Manor turned around and left to go back to the main house, and before leaving, he also said to Yaheng, the captain of the manor guard, "Put all the people who committed the crime today in the cell of the manor, and after the harvest festival is over, they will be formally tried for their crimes in the manor court." ”

A few days later, the cadets who studied at the Nord Family's Douqi Academy all rushed back for the holiday, and the slave cadets rode in the chariots of the manor, while the noble academy rode in luxurious carriages.

On this day, Zechi, like many others, came to the outside of the manor's house to greet his children, relatives, and friends.

"Zareh!" Zeqi saw his brother and Seline get out of the chariot from a distance and ran over excitedly.

"Brother!"

"Zechi!"

Zareth and Seline also ran towards him. Both of them were wearing the uniforms of the Nord Family's Douqi Academy, and their looks and temperament were much higher than before. In contrast, Zeqi, who was dressed in sackcloth, looked shabby.
