Chapter 1470: Praetorian Guard Commander and Mill Master (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Please come with me. The magistrate said this coldly, expressionlessly, and then stared at Hawkes with a face like an ice cube and a pair of vicious triangular eyes.
When the magistrate entered, all the people in the room were awakened, and then they put on their clothes, walked out of the room, and gathered into the living room, where they looked at the man in black who had suddenly entered, either in surprise or horror.
Hawkes was also getting ready for bed, just in a long dressing gown.
When he had finished listening to the magistrate's words, Hawkes was stunned for a moment, and in an instant he was much older.
The originally straight waist also bent involuntarily, although only for a moment. But in the eyes of everyone, it is extremely shocking.
For more than 60 years, this professional soldier has always maintained the style of a soldier and has never slacked off for a second.
Someone once said that even if the enemy stormed his command tent, he would not blink an eye.
From this, it can be seen that the words of the judicial officer hit him hard.
Is this old soldier, who has always been as steady as a mountain, also crushed?
Hawkes steadied himself, pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then let out a long sigh, his eyes shining again, and said softly, "Okay, I'll come now, but please let me change my clothes." β
After speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the pajamas on his body.
The magistrate twitched the corners of his mouth, and a triumphant sneer appeared on his indifferent face, and the magistrate's heart was never satisfied to see a once great man speaking to him in such a lovely tone.
He raised his head arrogantly, with a disgusting face peculiar to the low-level officials when they made things difficult for the people. Unquestionably, he said, "My lord." We are all pressed for time. β
Hawkes couldn't help but froze. Then he sighed again and said, "Then let me say goodbye to my family." I ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the magistrate leaned over slightly, interrupted him, and said indifferently, "My lord, please." β
Not only is he not even allowed to change his clothes, but he is not even allowed to say a few words to his family, which is really too deceitful.
After all, he is also loyal to the country. After more than sixty years of service, he has more scars than his medals. What's more, he is still a respected old man.
Seeing Hawkes being insulted like this, everyone present couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation, they were nobles, and they were also the family members of the Admiral of the Royal Guard, and they had never been insulted by such a small person.
The men clenched their fists, while the women hid their faces with their hands, sobbed quietly, and threw themselves into the arms of those next to them.
Hawkes looked at the open door. I saw darkness in the distance: there was no trace of starlight today~!
Only the bitter cold air blew in through the gate.
He reached out and wrapped his robe. Just about to step forward.
At this point, the magistrate, as if he had been impatient with the wait, reached out and pushed him on the back with the utmost rudeness. At the same time, he said, "Hurry up." β
Hawkes couldn't help but stumble a step.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be in a commotion, a small official dared to treat a nobleman like this, and it was a capital offense in normal times.
A young man in the hall roared angrily, and threw himself at the sword hanging on the wall.
Hearing the roar, the magistrate couldn't help but shrink his neck suddenly, shuddered for a moment, and then turned his head to look.
Like a mad tiger, the young man pulled a sword off the wall, and then turned around and was about to pounce on him.
Seeing this, Hawkes immediately shouted angrily: "Stop, Ferrar, you stop me." β
The young man couldn't help but froze, and shouted angrily, "But, grandpa......"
Immediately afterward, a chaotic and hurried footsteps were heard, and a group of soldiers dressed in black rushed in.
As soon as they entered the door, they immediately opened their bows and arrows, and coldly aimed at all those present.
When the magistrate saw this, he sneered at the moment, raised his hand to straighten his clothes, stroked the hair on his head, and said in a contemptuous tone: "My department is ordered by the Prime Minister to arrest the traitorous thief, and those who dare to stop it will be killed~!"
The voice was like a poisonous snake, squeezing out from between its teeth, full of Sensen's chill.
When Filar saw this, he was even more angry, and with a roar of rage, he was about to rush over The young man always thought that bravery was a compliment, and did not understand the meaning of the bloody cruelty behind it.
Next to him, Lufian screamed, rushed over in spite of it, and hugged him deadly. If he really rushes forward, the other party will definitely kill him on the spot at the first time.
The magistrate twitched the corners of his mouth in disappointment. If the boy pounced, he would have a reason to shoot him on the spot, and give the damned nobles a little color.
In this way, if Hawks is not afraid of being afraid of foreign crimes, why does he not cooperate with the investigation, but raise troops to resist?
And you can also use the blood of that young man as a step into the body to show your loyalty to the Prime Minister.
At this time, Hawkes did not look at him, but looked coldly at an officer not far away. That man was the captain of the guard in charge of guarding the house, and he had been his trusted subordinate.
This was his headquarters, and if it weren't for the mutiny of his guards, the gendarmes of the Ministry of Justice would not have been able to storm in.
The mansion of a big nobleman like Hawkes is itself heavily guarded, and a group of spies who are not even police officers can't attack it at all, and they have to call in the army if they want to get in.
Not to mention appearing directly in his living room, and Hawkes didn't even know a single announcement.
Under his gaze, the captain of the guard bowed his head in shame and muttered, "I...... I can't help it......"
As he spoke, he also felt that his heart was weak, and quietly stepped aside, after all, he shamelessly betrayed his superior.
Hawkes was already disappointed at this time, and even his own home was a traitor, so what about the entire army, the entire Semitic tribe?
He looked up at the sky in dismay, and let out a long sigh: Is God really going to kill my Semit?
At this point, the danger is lifted. The gendarmes immediately put away their bows and arrows. Then he hugged Hawkes and walked out.
They pushed Hawkes into the wagon. Then he guarded the carriage and ran out quickly.
In just one minute, it had already disappeared into the vast night.
Everyone in the hall didn't speak at this time, they all turned their heads, and they all looked at the captain of the guard with disgust: it was the betrayal of this traitor that made the gendarmes of the Ministry of Justice easily take Hawkes away, and the young master was almost killed on the spot.
The crowd hated him all, even far more than the number one public enemy of the Semites. Lorraine, the thief.
This can also be understood, Lorraine is the undead and the Semitic righteous enemy, it is the real sword and the Semitic people who work hard, every time everyone mentions this number one public enemy, they always condemn him morally severely, criticize him for criticizing him, and then step on 10,000 feet, and in private have to admire this uncle.
But the captain of the guard betrayed Hawks and betrayed his duty as a guard, which was equivalent to smashing everyone's jobs.
It's a little embarrassing.
The captain of the guard saw this. He also laughed weakly twice, and he betrayed Admiral Hawkes to the Prime Minister's spies. Now that he has become the enemy of this family, the people of Hawkes's family will definitely not let him go.
However, if you can catch the line of the prime minister, you will be able to soar in the future, and you will not see that the nobles in the whole city have been cleaned up by the prime minister, and the captain of the guard also saw this, and then after experiencing a struggle of ideas, this decision was made.
He exited the hall. The door was closed tightly from the outside. Now, of course, agents are surrounding Hawkes' mansion and putting everyone under house arrest in the manor.
At this time, Filar finally broke free from Lufian's embrace, got up from the ground angrily, red eyes, and shouted, "Sister, why don't you let me rescue Grandpa?"
Lu Fei'an immediately raised his hand and slapped it, and said sharply: "Shut up~!"
Filar received a crisp slap that almost blinded him, and when he reacted, he immediately felt a hot pain on his face.
He reached out and touched his cheek, then he became furious and yelled, "You...... What are you doing, you crazy woman......"
Lu Fei'an ignored him, but smiled at the group of servants, showed the bearing of the head of the family, and said calmly, "You all go back to rest first." I discussed something with my brother. β
The servants glanced at each other, and knew in their hearts that if such a big thing happened, the two of them must seriously discuss how to deal with it. And these are not suitable for your own people.
Since cronies like the captain of the guard can rebel, who knows if there are any traitors among these servants.
Therefore, they bowed down one after another, and withdrew worriedly, while secretly praying in their hearts, hoping that this turmoil would not affect their heads.
In the storm of the coup d'Γ©tat two years ago, many nobles were beheaded, including the servants and cooks.
No one knows if the butcher's knife will suddenly fall on their heads.
The loyal old butler hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed and withdrew. After all, the charge of 'treason' is too severe.
This is to raid the house and destroy the door.
No matter who it is buckled on, you need to think about it.
Even though he didn't believe that his master would do such a thing, he had lived in Arcaderine for so long, and he had a lot of experience and had seen too much blood.
He knew that this kind of thing was not a matter of whether he believed it or not, but whether the judges believed it or not.
Crucially, the judges were all appointed by Madorins.
The lord of his own family has been right with Madolins for so many years, and he openly ridiculed Madolins for being a villain, this time it must be more than lucky.
The old lady is not in good health, and the young lady is accompanied by the young lady to go on vacation, if the old lady is also in the manor, it is estimated that she will have a heart attack on the spot.
He pondered as he slowly stepped back and closed the door from the outside.
Seeing this, Filar snorted coldly and shouted angrily: "Lu Fei'an, what do you have to say, grandpa has been arrested, you still have ...... leisure"
As soon as he said this, he saw Lufian make an eerie cat's waist, and then lifted the corner of the curtain, revealing only one eye. Cautiously look out.
Filar couldn't help but be amazed. The voice was also lowered. He walked up to his sister and muttered, "What are you doing...... What are you doing?"
Lufian ignored him, staring carefully out the window until he was sure there was no movement, then looked at him, and then ...... Then he turned around and ran desperately towards his room like crazy.
Filar looked at her back in a daze, and was momentarily confused. muttered, "What's wrong with this eighth woman?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lufian's voice was heard.
She shouted angrily: "Filar, you little idiot, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you come over to me quickly." Wait for me to go over and pull your ears?"
Filal couldn't help but have a cold war, fighting at home, he could never beat his sister, every time he was grabbed and cleaned up, and then went to his parents to complain that he was cleaned up, and over time. I'm very scared of this sister.
Although Filar didn't know what to do, he hurried over.
I came to Lufian's room and took a look. But I saw that her room was messy.
The fireplace in her room has ...... It had opened like a door, revealing a black hole in the back.
Filar couldn't help but be taken aback, and stammered, "You...... You...... You ......"
Lu Feian rolled her eyes disdainfully, and said triumphantly, "What am I? Why do you think I have to insist on living in this manor? β
Filar suddenly realized and said, "For...... For the adulterer's ......"
Lufien was furious, lifted her slender foot, and kicked it over.
Filar couldn't help but exhale in pain and squatted on the ground, quite aggrieved: Obviously, this is the same plot as those knight novels.
Lu Fei'an picked up a pillow and smashed it against his brother's head and face, while shouting, "You idiot, rice bucket, stupid......"
She couldn't stop begging for mercy when she hit Filar, so she threw the pillow aside, crossed her hands on her waist, and said proudly: "I'm in this situation today." We're surrounded by spies, and they're not going to let us out. β
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a candlestick. "Follow me." β
Then he took the first step and walked into the tunnel.
Filar looked cautiously at the tunnel, filled with adventurous curiosity, and then hurried in.
Filar followed her and walked down the tunnel, which seemed to have not been built for long, and it was very rough, with traces of fresh earth in some places.
Filar walked dizzily through the tunnels for a while, and then saw a light appear in front of him.
When he came out of the tunnel, Filar looked intently and realized that it was actually a mill not far from his manor.
At first, Lufian thought that the mill was in the way of his view, and he had to buy it and bulldoze it. But the miller was a bastard, and he didn't eat hard and soft. He doesn't take the dignified Praetorian Guard commander in his eyes at all, and he doesn't sell it alive or dead.
Later, Lufian didn't know why, so he insisted on going his own way, so he demolished the mill, and was sued in court.
As a result, he was sentenced by the court to lose a lot of money, and he had to repair the mill again.
At that time, there were still people who stirred up this matter for a while, saying that this was a victory for the Semitic rule of law. Even if it is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, he can't cover the sky with one hand, ping the people.
A bunch of dead and sick people also wrote articles in some newspaper, praising Prime Minister Malindos's impartiality and impartiality in enforcing the law. He also talked nonsense about the importance of judicial independence and impartiality.
Anyway, there are a lot of nouns, and it makes people feel that although they don't know what they're talking about, they seem to be very powerful.
Filar felt a little embarrassed at the time. But I never thought that this mill was actually a secret passage in my own home~!
He looked through the window at his own house not far away, and realized how strange it was. He suddenly realized that this is not a game, but a real life, and from this moment on, he is going to die in the world~!
The novels and dramas he once watched have detailed descriptions of this kind of life, and he used to yearn for this kind of life in the past, but when he found out that he really wanted to live this kind of life, he couldn't help but feel a panic in his heart.
At this moment, I heard a voice next to me: "You are here?"
Filar couldn't help but be surprised, there was actually someone here, and it was a man, could it be that Lu Feian really used this authentic to meet his lover privately?
He hurriedly turned his head and looked at the man carefully.
I saw that the other party was about twenty-three or fourteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, although he didn't look handsome, he could take it.
He couldn't help but hesitate, and he didn't know what to call the other party, could it be that he wanted to call him...... Brother-in-law?
At this time, I heard Lu Fei'an ask nervously, "Did you follow?"
The man replied, "I have followed." β
He paused, then asked softly, "Do you?"
Although Filar didn't understand what they were talking about, he was also extremely sensitive to the ominous meaning, and couldn't help but panic for a while, and kept glancing at his sister.
Lu Fei'an gritted his teeth, and finally said categorically: "Do it~!"
After speaking, I immediately felt a sense of weakness in my body. It seemed that these two words were so difficult that just saying them had exhausted all the strength of her body.
The man nodded, then turned around and walked out of the room with a slender firework under Filar's astonished gaze.
When he came outside, he took out a lighter, lit the cigarette on his lips, took a hard puff, and then leaned the flame of the lighter towards the fuse of the fireworks.
The quality of the windproof lighters produced by Naian is excellent, and although the wind is cold, the flame still beats in the windshield without any signs of extinguishing.
The moment the flame was close to it, the fuse was already lit, and white smoke came out with a sneer.
'Chirp~~'
In the midst of the sharp sound, a firelight slowly rose into the air, and then with a 'pop', it exploded in the air, bursting out with a brilliant and dazzling light.
