Chapter 121: Marco Comes to the Door
When Venia saw them, she had no waves in her heart, and she had long been accustomed to it.
In the past, when Jenny was the affairs officer, this group of people had colluded with Jenny to embezzle and sell relief food privately.
After Venia replaced Jenny, she naturally would no longer agree to their coercion.
"The relief food in the Stardew Neighborhood should have been distributed by the affairs officer. I have taken into account the feelings of my neighbors, and I have not pursued your past misappropriation, and I ask you not to cause further trouble...... Hmmm......"
As she spoke, Venia glanced down by chance, and instantly her cheeks burned with shame, and her tone weakened.
Everyone looked at her clothes and instantly understood.
Everyone touched the scene and recalled a painting in their minds.
It was the work of Mr. Lawrence, a wandering painter from the north, "Red Sun and Snow Mountain" at the traveling exhibition in Yerba Buena last year.
Located in the territory of the Empire, the towering peaks of Arros are covered in a warm layer of white snow every winter, and the smooth snow clung to the ground, and the details of the entire peak are more clearly defined. Under the illumination of the red winter sun, the snow-capped mountains reflect the greasy luster of white and red.
……
Venia cleared her throat, letting the embarrassment on her face disappear and replace it with a sense of justice as an officer.
The group of women did not back down: "That...... Why can't we get a share? ”
Venia sneered in her heart, just like you who are full of brains, how can it be like a lack of relief food?
She knew in her heart that these people had nothing more to do than come to the door to make a fuss, and they would stop by asking for sealed food. But she must not open this opening, otherwise more and more people will blackmail under the same pretext.
"If you insist, then I will have to go to my brother who works in White Rose, he should be interested in the relief food ledger you have handled in the past......"
Venia's expression was complacent.
The women's faces changed dramatically.
Only then did they remember that Venia's brother had awakened the Chosen One this year and had joined White Rose.
Although White Rose will not easily get involved in such trivial neighborhood disputes, they are also convinced that Charlotte will never tolerate her sister being bullied.
Seeing that this extortion was kicked to the iron plate, they were ready to return in a huff.
Just then, the sound of a large number of horse-drawn carriages came from the street outside.
Everyone saw that the streets were dusty, and the war horses were neighing, and listening to this formation, I was afraid that there would be no fewer people coming.
Bang!
The main entrance to Charlotte's house was violently pushed to the ground, and a team of about a dozen mounted police rushed in.
The first person, tall and wearing a Frank military uniform, stepping on rhinoceros leather military boots, has a murderous aura on his facial features, and the scar on the right side of his face that crosses half of his face shows that this person is not easy to get along with.
He was none other than Marko, the commander of the Mounted Police.
He was followed by a middle-aged man wearing thick-bottomed glasses and a sackcloth shirt, who was leading Marco towards his home with a lowered brow.
This is the mayor of Yerba Cao, who shouted at the top of his voice:
"Venia, come out to welcome Captain Marko!"
Hearing Marco's name, the faces of everyone present changed drastically.
This is the big red man in front of Baron Frank, the real number two person in the entire Frank Territory. What is he doing in a small place like Yerba Crando?
The Mounted Police Regiment sealed off the door of the house and everyone was taken to the courtyard.
All the people of Fangcao Town were shocked by Marko's murderous aura, and they didn't dare to raise their heads and make eye contact with him.
Although his notoriety in Frank's territory is not as good as that of Baron Frank, his brutality can be guessed from the daily behavior of the Mounted Police.
Marco walked into the courtyard with a calm face, stood still in front of everyone, he glanced up and down at Venia, and went straight to the point:
"Venia, the affairs officer of the Stardew Neighborhood, do you know where your brother Charlotte went on the night of July 31 this year?"
Vinia's brain quickly recalled, that night, she remembered that Charlotte had come back late and had brought Sister Elijah home for the first time.
Could it be that Charlotte is in some kind of trouble?!
Venia quickly regained her composure, and if Marco really had the ironclad evidence of his brother's crime, he wouldn't use a questioning tone.
She recalled the news report she heard the next day, and calmly spoke:
"My brother went on a mission to Leyton Forest that day, but when he came back, he lost his memory."
Marco bowed slightly, which was not inconsistent with the testimony of other parties.
But he also knew that the real purpose of Paul providing him with this information was to cause trouble for Charlotte, so the truth of the facts was not important, the important thing was that he wanted to impose charges on Charlotte.
After all, saying that white is black is the best skill of the Mounted Police Corps.
His eyes flashed with disappointment, and he continued to ask:
"Originally, I wanted to give you a chance, if you are willing to confess, your brother can get a lighter punishment."
Venia's pupils widened suddenly, could it be that her brother had already fallen into the law?
"I might as well change to a more direct way of asking questions, what method did Charlotte use to hurt Daniel like that on the day of her mission? Any of his unusual behavior that day is fine, you have to know everything. ”
Venia recalls that when she returned home that day, Charlotte was indeed a little abnormal, and her clothes looked like she had just experienced a fierce battle......
She was about to speak subconsciously, but suddenly stopped.
Wait a minute! This is an obvious inducing question, presupposing a position and trapping the person being questioned.
As long as she opened her mouth to answer, it was equivalent to admitting Charlotte's suspicion.
"I don't know anything, my brother has amnesia, and he should be the same as his teammates......"
Venia regains her composure.
There was a hint of impatience on Marko's face, this little girl was smarter than she thought.
Perhaps sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, Lily ran to Marco with her hands outstretched, barefoot, and slammed his calf with her little fist.
"Badass, big badass, don't bully Sister Venia."
Marco snorted, and the mounted police beside him grabbed Lily by the back and pulled her off Marco's lap.
"Stinky little ghost, get out of the way!"
As if to flatter Marco, the mounted police angrily threw Lily into the distance.
Little Lori was thrown directly to the ground, her big eyes were foggy, and she soon started crying.
"Hey, she's just a child, don't go too far!"
A man couldn't stand it and stood up in protest.
The mounted policeman didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly rushed forward with a lunge and hit the opponent in the chest with a fist.
The sound of tooth-aching bones shattering, the mouth of the man who was hit spurted blood, and it fell directly on the cabinet behind him, and the cabinet was completely shattered. And he himself was already so badly injured that he was dying.
The Mounted Police rebuked the neighbors of Stardew Neighborhood:
"You untouchables, it's already an honor in your life that Lord Marco is willing to let you stand and answer!"
Seeing the neighbors shuddering and shivering, the mounted policeman was full of pride.
Don't talk about little Lori, when he's in a bad mood, the dog on the side of the road may be scraped by two big ears at any time.
At that moment, Venia spread her arms and stood in front of Lily.
"Gentlemen of the Mounted Police Corps, what kind of ability is it to bully a little girl, what is something coming at me."
Venia's handsome face was full of determination.
