Chapter 5: The Man Behind the Scenes
"Rhein-Hart. Lei Ming looked at him with sharp eyes, and said word by word: "Don't forget your identity, you are just a housekeeper in the Viscount's Mansion, and it is just a matter of one sentence that I want to clean you and your family." You're not dead yet, but you still have a little bit of use. ”
Rhine's face turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his cheeks. He hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, if I provide evidence, can you spare me and my family?"
"I swear in the honor of the Grant family that I will not pursue your family afterwards. Lei Ming assured.
Haman, as his own brother, would have been executed without conclusive evidence, which would have provoked some criticism. After all, the concept of family in this world is still very heavy. If it is not handled well, it will also cause some obstacles to the future development of the territory.
Rhine breathed a long sigh of relief, he didn't expect to survive, he just gave it a try with a glimmer of hope, and now it would be good to be able to save his family.
I said. This sentence seemed to exhaust all the strength of his body, and he collapsed to the ground, and he was more than ten years old in an instant.
Thunder asked people to bring paper and ink and put it on the ground. I didn't rush, just sat in my chair and waited quietly.
"My lord, no, Lord Haman is gone. Fafer said, pushing the door open.
"What's going on?" Lei Ming had a bad premonition in his heart, there were many examples of fighting snakes and not dying, but suffering from them, if Haman ran away, it was inevitable that he would not make trouble outside in the future.
"My lord, I heard from the maid in the house that Haman entered the house and never came out. By the time we arrived, it was empty, and our subordinates found a passage in the room. Farfer recounted what he knew.
"Take me to see it. Lei Ming said with a calm face.
Harman's room is not far from the study, a few steps away. At this moment, the room has been cordoned off by a team of soldiers. Inside, the beds had been removed, revealing a deep tunnel below, where several soldiers crouched and whispered about something.
"What are you guys arguing about? Fafer yelled.
Thunder looked around the room, noticing a thick pile of ash in the corner of the wall, and some unburned paper next to it. He bent down to pick up all the scraps of paper and examined them. Due to the suddenness of the incident, it is likely that Harman chose to leave before he had time to clean up.
Most of the pieces of paper were blank pages, and the contents had long since been burned. There were only a few pieces of paper with words on them, and most of them were blurred.
After sorting it out, there are only six words that are more clear and valuable, such as brilliance, assassination, and viscount, and Lei Ming frowned slightly, what does this mean?
"Your Excellency, Lord Haman has found you. Mosk pushed open the door and came in to report.
"What about people?" Lei Ming had too many questions to answer, did the assassination of the viscount on the page refer to himself, or the old viscount who had died?
"Bring in. Mosk turned and shouted out the door.
Two guards carried a seriously injured and unconscious teenager into the house and carefully placed it on the ground. Perhaps the movement involved the wound, and the boy let out an unconscious snort of pain and came to his senses.
"What's going on?" Lei Ming's brows furrowed, the arrow in his chest was in danger, even if he found the cardinal archbishop to perform a ninth-level divine skill, it would be too late in time. Not to mention that he is only a viscount heir, and even the viscount can't invite anyone at all.
"My lord, when my subordinates were patrolling outside the mansion, they happened to come out of a house and wanted to arrest him, when a hidden arrow shot at him out of nowhere. Mosk explained.
"Got it, you guys go out first!" Lei Ming waved his hand, saw the door closed, and said, "Don't you have anything to say to me? ”
"You won, but you didn't expect to work hard to end up in vain. Haman's expression was calm and terrifying, and he coughed every time he said a word, but his face became surprisingly ruddy.
He looked at the roof, his eyes showing guilt, unwillingness, anger, and resentment, Lei Ming had never seen so many feelings expressed in a person's eyes.
"One last word of advice, watch out for the Temple of Light. With all his strength he spoke, Haman's face was bloody, and he didn't blink an eye.
"May you have eternal life in the kingdom of God. Lei Ming crouched down and closed his eyes with his hands.
In this world where there is a true God, almost everyone has faith. The unbelievers are not only hated by the gods, but are also nailed to the walls of the unbelievers to be tortured after death. Haman had been convinced of his belief in the god of light since he was a child, but now it seems that everything is in disguise, and he should believe in other gods. Otherwise, he would not and would not dare to tell the truth when he was dying.
"Come on, carry Haman down and bury him!" Lei Ming felt the "Book of Destiny" in his mind about to move, and a wave of energy seemed to be pouring into his body at any time, and hurriedly commanded, returning to his room.
Fafer ordered two guards to carry Haman's body out, and he and Mosk looked at each other with worry in their eyes. The death of two important people in the Viscount's Mansion within a month, and all of them were assassinated, will definitely set off a storm in the territory.
As soon as Lei Ming was ready, a wave of abundant energy came from the Book of Destiny, and the fighting qi in his body was frantically absorbed. In the blink of an eye, he broke through two levels, and finally reached the peak of the eighth-level knight before stopping.
He consolidated his realm and fell into deep thought. This breakthrough of the third level in a row is obviously because of the change in Haman's fate. I have changed the fate of others several times before, and the rewards have not been so big.
Could it be because of his status? If he had not been reborn with himself, Haman would have become a viscount. And the previous few people were not of high status, and they did not change much.
If this is the case, if the gods in the sky can fall, how much will the reward be?
The thunder shook and didn't dare to think about it anymore. This is blasphemy, in this world where there are true gods, once they are detected by the gods, they will definitely be burned at the stake, and they will not be stable even after death.
The power of the gods is so terrifying that even inadvertently calling out the other party's god name will be known what happened in three minutes, who knows if there is any other power?
When one's own strength does not reach the point of ignoring some things, it is still necessary to maintain a certain amount of reverence for both royal power and divine power.
Thunder took a deep breath, got up and walked out of the house. Standing in the courtyard looking at the sunset, he muttered to himself, "The Temple of Light? It seems that you need to establish your faith early." ”
Heirs of the nobility, especially the nobles with real power with fiefdoms, except for some special families who need to establish their beliefs since childhood, such as the ancestors who are gods, most of them will establish their beliefs at the age of 16.
In the final analysis, it is a question of the source of faith, if the inherited nobles believe in a certain god, they will support the development of the god's church in the territory, and they will naturally gain more believers. The gods don't care about worldly power, they care about faith.
