Chapter 22: No, No, No

The Reinhardt's faces changed slightly, and Charlotte looked at Paul.

From the beginning of the case, Paul's position has always been biased towards Jenny, and he almost let Venia be wrongfully imprisoned, and now his reasoning has been slapped in the face, and he is still so hard-mouthed.

Charlotte didn't have anger on his face, he just looked at the distant skyline with a sad face,

After a while, he sighed, "Oh, no......"

Ilya knew that Charlotte was going to make a big move, so she deliberately continued: "Mr. Charlotte, what are you sighing for?" ”

Charlotte said twice:

"I'm just sighing, isn't it?"

"There can't really be a mounted police officer who believes the testimony of a suspect without an autopsy, right?"

"Wouldn't there really be a mounted police officer who couldn't even figure out the most basic logical doubts?"

"There can't really be a mounted police officer who can't reason about the prisoner even if they put the evidence in their mouths, right?"

"These traits don't come together in one person, do they?

"Is there really such a genius in the world? Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? ”

A series of rhetorical questions made Paul's face change. He could clearly feel that the Frank Mounted Police around him had also looked at him with a complicated change in their eyes.

There was nothing worse for Paul, as the deputy head of the mission, than this loss of power and majesty.

"What did you say?!" He looked at Charlotte and shouted in a deep voice, and the coercion of the Chosen One erupted from within him.

The subordinates around him were suddenly silent.

Charlotte said with an innocent look and feigned surprise:

"Hey, this knight, I didn't name him, why are you so angry......"

Seeing Charlotte incarnate as a great onmyoji, Ilya was also unwilling, and nodded and said:

"yes, that's weird...... Someone can't be seated, right? ”

There was murderous intent in Paul's eyes.

"Don't think that if you step on the threshold of the Chosen One, you can lift your tail to the sky like a sandbank fire ostrich!"

With a grim face, he raised the air cannon again, ready to teach the two of them an unforgettable lesson.

However, he suddenly felt a cold gaze cast from behind him, and it was obvious that Fina had also released her Chosen One's coercion.

Her voice was steady and threatening:

"Mr. Paul, I don't think I need to remind you again of the provisions of the Code of Conduct for the Mounted Police Corps of the Kingdom concerning the treatment of the common people. Today, after all, it was the Mounties who hastily convicted Mr. Charlotte's family first, and in my opinion, you should have a truce. “

Paul was disdainful.

What is the Code of the Kingdom Mounted Police? What age is that?

In the current Kingdom of Sophia, the royal family is declining, the king is cowardly, the power of various lords is gradually growing, and the separatist tendency is becoming more and more obvious.

But Fina was a Sequence 8 powerhouse after all, and he didn't want to cause trouble for Baron Frank now, so he snorted, beckoned his entourage, and left in a huff.

As he passed by Charlotte, he whispered quietly:

"Don't think that Daniel's matter is over, what happened in the Leyden Forest that day, I will find out to you sooner or later."

Charlotte's face did not change: "Waiting for you at any time." ”

Later, Fina also said goodbye to the Charlotte family, and Venia took each other's hands affectionately, strongly urging the other party to come to the house for dinner in the future, and she wanted to thank Fina again in person.

Seeing that it was difficult for Fina to refuse, she had to nod her head and leave.

At this time, the townspeople in the Stardew neighborhood watched the excitement and went straight back to their respective homes.

Before leaving, they all carefully greeted Venia and said goodbye, and everyone could see that in the Stardew neighborhood, Jenny's era was over, and she had lost her daughter as the Chosen One, and she had lost the biggest capital she could rely on.

Next came Venia's time.

Jenny also struggled to get up with a hollow look in her eyes at this time, drooping her head, and slowly walked in the direction of home like a living dead.

In one day, she lost both her lover and her daughter, and her whole heart was hollowed out.

In the next few days, she will prepare for her daughter's funeral.

Looking at Jenny's back, the Charlotte family had mixed tastes.

"Lady Jenny, wait a minute."

Charlotte suddenly thought of something, stopped the other party, and then quickly chased after him.

Jenny turned her head blankly and looked at Charlotte, there was a hint of fear in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly:

"Are you going to stand up for your sister now and take revenge on me?"

Charlotte shook her head and took out the Girl's Dinner from her bag.

When she saw the painting, Jenny's pupils suddenly tightened.

"This painting is ......," Charlotte thought of a reason, "the gift that Tori used to give me, the table was full of some of her favorite foods, and if these foods were placed at Tori's funeral, her soul would probably rest in peace......"

The painting depicts a family of three eating dinner in an elegantly decorated room, with sumptuous meat and desserts on the table, and a cake filled with candles, while Tory is still childish and the family is celebrating her 10th birthday.

Jenny recalls that her husband was still alive at the time.

But the actual life is not as warm as on the picture, and she can't help but fall into the memories of that day......

It was dusk, and the glow of the setting sun reflected the sunset on the horizon, and the clouds were like gold-edged.

In the beautiful sunshine, there was the starvation on the streets of Yerba Buena Town, and the wailing of the crows lying on it.

That year, the grain harvest was again in arrears, but the taxes of the lord Frank's family did not decrease.

The dining table was a simple wooden table, on which were two dirty ceramic bowls, the edges of which had been broken several times.

Young Tori, with big round eyes and small freckles, is well-behaved and cute, and has been a beautiful embryo since she was a child, but because of malnutrition, her head is obviously bigger than her body.

Dirty, dressed in ragged linen clothes, she looked at the only blittle bit of mashed potatoes in the bowl.

"Mommy, you're hungry, you're hungry, you're ......," Tori raised the spoon in her hand.

Jenny looked at the mashed potatoes in her bowl, swallowed her saliva, and handed the bowl to her daughter.

Then she stood up and walked to the bedroom to look at her husband.

The man was lying on the bed, his chest rising and falling violently, dying, and his lips had lost their blood.

"Honey, drink some more water."

In times of famine, there was only free well water, which could be used as a substitute to fill the stomach, and the man shook his head, the constant irrigation had made his body swollen.

Jenny looked at her husband distressedly, "Why don't you eat some mashed potatoes?" ”

"If I eat them all, what will you and your daughter eat? I'm a man, I have good physical strength, and I can still hold on ......"

Jenny sighed, "I asked you to secretly deduct a little from the tax grain given to the lord. ”

"If that's the case, you're going to die too, you forgot that a few days ago, a family of three in the Stardew neighborhood was just executed."

The other party raised his hand and stroked his wife's hair, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he muttered:

"Jenny, be sure to take care of your daughter......"

Sensing that something was wrong with her husband, Jenny panicked and went out to get food, and when she returned with a spoonful of mashed potatoes, she found that her husband had choked his last breath......

At this time, Tori outside the door looked at her in confusion.

Jenny barely managed to squeeze out a smile, though the corners of her mouth kept shaking with sadness.

"Daddy...... Just asleep......"

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound on the side of the street, and a carriage led by Frank led the nobles to pass by.

A little girl of Tory's age in a pink dress in the carriage took out an apple from the delicate fruit basket next to her, put it to her mouth, and frowned, the apple seemed to be rancid.

She threw the apple out the window in disgust.

Seeing this, Torrey rushed out of the house, lying on the ground on all fours and eating apples, gobbling it up, swallowing her hair in her mouth without even noticing.

When the little girl in the carriage saw this, she curiously tugged at the sleeve of the noble woman next to her.

"Mother, look at her ......"

The little girl opened her big ignorant eyes, pointed at Tori and said word by word:

"It's like a dog."

This day was the day when Jenny's worldview collapsed and was rebuilt, and from this day on, she was completely different.

She began to use all means to steal and cheat other people's food, and she began to use all kinds of conspiracies to climb up step by step.

We must do everything we can to climb up, and we must do whatever it takes!

Over the years, Jenny has attacked like a trapped beast, offending everyone she can in Stardew, but she has also climbed to heights that she has never climbed before.

She was terrified, she didn't want to stop, the memory of the day her husband died became an eternal nightmare that haunted her heart all these years.

And it wasn't until she lost it that she suddenly discovered that her daughter had also become the price of her upward climb over the years, and this should have been the thing she should protect the most......

Looking at the painting, Jenny was already in tears, and she raised her head to the sky and began to cry, crying into the dusk sky of Yerba Chown Town.

"Daughter, forgive me, I'm sorry for you!!"

"Forgive me...... Woowoo woo ......"

Jenny's cry caused the neighbors to open the window curiously, and by this time Charlotte had returned to Venia.

"Sister Vinia, shouldn't I do this?" He sighed.

"No, maybe it would be better for her to cry."

Just then, a hint popped up in Charlotte's magic guide:

"Tyranny Tori's soul has been purified."
