Chapter 31: The Truth
In the hall, the members of the Colbenson family were present, sitting against the wall, without any words, as if the people in the hall were just illusions. In the middle, there were a dozen or so people who seemed a little overwhelmed, dressed as maids, cooks, soldiers, and handymen, all of whom were just ordinary people in the castle, and it was inevitable that they would be a little nervous in such an environment.
"You don't have to worry, just ask for something, very simple little things. Gehr sat on the throne with a calm voice, without any other emotions mixed in.
Although I don't believe in what Gehr said, after all, not only are all the lords' people watching, but also let the knights press the formation to bring people over, it's just a simple little thing, and no one will believe it. However, with Gehr's words, these people still have some things in their hearts, in their eyes Gehr is the next lord, since he said so, just do what he says.
"Does anyone know about the new thorn grass?" Gell waited for them to calm down before asking.
"Turn on active probing analysis. Judge the changes in the other person's emotional and physical activities. At the same time, the analysis module was turned on.
As soon as the term "new spiny grass" was spoken, several people's physiological indicators fluctuated drastically, and they were quickly marked and placed on Gehr's key watch list.
β...... Subject 1, the breathing rhythm was normal, the heart beat faster, and the analysis result: 30% nervousness, low suspicion...... Target 2, respiratory disturbance, vasoconstriction, and reduced skin resistance value, the analysis results: nervousness was 54%, fear was 41%, and the suspicion was extremely high...... Target 3, pupil dilatation response ......"
A virtual list appeared in front of Gehr, on which all the people who had been put on the priority watch list, followed by their various physiological indicators and simulation analysis for Gehr to query.
"My lord, I know the new thorn grass. I used to work as a groom and this grass is very common, it is often mixed with pasture grass and must be shoveled often, otherwise the horse will have diarrhea if he eats too much......"
A thin man dressed as a soldier was the first to break the silence.
"Good. Gell nodded, and looked at Sophia beside him. Sophia stepped forward knowingly and took a silver seffrin for the soldier who dared to speak first.
"Lord Xie Lu, Lord Xie Xie......" The soldier who was originally a little apprehensive suddenly smiled and thanked him, while the rest of the people who knew the answer but did not say it immediately looked at this lucky soldier with jealousy and envy, and were very annoyed for a while, regretting that they did not speak first.
"Next, the Anteng Tree Fruit. After a moment's wait, Gell moved on to the next question.
"My lord, I know ...... this."
"I also know ...... way"
......
The atmosphere of the reply immediately became enthusiastic, and Gehr nodded the answer, and then asked Sophia to reward some coins again.
After several similar questions, the enthusiasm of these subordinates became very high, and for a moment the hall seemed to become a daily plant workshop, and the onlookers of the Colbenson people looked at each other, not knowing what Douglas was doing, but according to the request that Gehr brought when he sent someone to inform them to come here, the tribesmen all listened to the development of the scene before them in silence.
"Well, very well, one more thing, Purple Maple. β
"The physiological data of target four has increased dramatically, and the suspicion is above 90%, please focus on observation!"
"My lord, I know the way of the ......" "I know the way, this is the ......" "I answered first, I will say ...... first"
"Quiet. Gehr shouted in a low voice, and the majesty brought by the future lord's status bonus suddenly quieted down some of the chaotic situation.
"Amos, you haven't spoken, this time let you speak. Gehr pointed directly at the middle-aged man in the crowd who was slightly chubby in a chef's suit.
"Your Excellency...... I...... I ......" Amos stumbled, and dense beads of sweat began to spread from his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye, and flowed down his face into small stream......s; Purple maple is a ...... A wild vegetable ......"
"Oh, have you eaten it?" said Gehr, who had a smile on his face, and Sophia on the side did not go up to give Amos the coin as before.
Most of the people in the field immediately realized something, and quietly distanced themselves from Amos, and suddenly Amos's position was very conspicuous.
The people of Colburnson, who were watching, also immediately lifted their spirits, straightened up and concentrated.
"Eat...... Eaten. β
"How's that smell?"
"Some...... Some bitter ......."
"Well, what about adding some new thorn grass to taste?" Ger's eyes flushed with coldness.
Gehr's words struck Amos like a bolt from the blue, causing his mouth to open wide, his eyes bulging out, his body to look terrified, and his body to stand unsteadily, shaking like a house in disrepair, ready to collapse at any moment.
"I ...... I ......"
"Would you like to try a little bit?" Gehr turned his head, and Sophia thoughtfully brought out a large basin from the back of her chair that she usually used to hold soup, and handed it to Isolde next to her. Isolde took it, strode forward, walked up to Amos, and placed the basin on the ground in front of him.
Looking at his frightened face reflected in the basin full of green juice below, Amos sat down on the ground at once.
"Tell me, who instructed you?" Gehr stood up, his not-so-tall body pulling out a long black shadow in the light, enveloping Amos.
Looking at the hesitant Amos, Gehr pressed a heavier weight in his heart: "You can't be saved, you will pay for your stupidity, but your family and your children can still be saved, if you are honest enough, they can still live." β
Listening to Gehr's words, Amos, who was already a little sluggish, raised his head and looked at one of the people in the crowd.
The eyes of everyone in the hall also shifted with Amos.
Suddenly, a dark figure leaped out of the crowd and swooped down on Gehr.
"Look for death!"
Isolde's shout rang out, and he instantly drew his sword, bringing a crescent-like cold glow and slashing towards the black shadow.
Clang!
The black shadow snorted, was smashed directly from the air, fell to the ground and staggered, turned around and wanted to run.
Another fierce sword light came in front of him - Clover, who was originally guarding the two knights at the door, stepped forward quickly with tacit understanding when Isolde made a move, and accurately intercepted the black shadow that intended to escape.
Although the black shadow blocked Clover's attack again, after completely withstanding the force transmitted by the two knights' full force in a row, the black shadow could no longer stand up, staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, struggling a few times but still unable to get up.
At this time, everyone in the hall saw the true face of this black shadow clearly, it was the soldier who was the first to answer Geger's question, holding a black dagger in his hand, I don't know what material it was, but it had not broken under two consecutive violent slashes, it should not be an ordinary product.
"You won't be proud for long, your fate has long been sealed, and your lordship will avenge me. The soldier gasped a few times and let out a few sinister laughs, and the originally normal pupils turned green in a few breaths, like a pair of emerald gems, staring at Gehr deadly, and a trace of blood slowly overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and then his head tilted, and he directly screamed for his life.
The blood that flowed out was faintly blackened, apparently poison.
Isolde took a few steps forward, crouched down beside the soldier, and shook his head after some examination: "My lord, he is dead. β
In Gehr's surveillance interface, the soldier's physiology has indeed disappeared, and he is completely dead.
It's a pity that he hasn't been able to ask about the situation from his mouth, and he digs deeper news into the doorway. But there is no way, this is a dead man, once he is caught, in order to prevent the leakage of information, he will commit suicide without saying a word.
Although he couldn't get news from the mouth of this dead man, he himself can represent a lot of problems, and there are not many people in Konatas who can cultivate such dead soldiers, all of them are great nobles with a long history.
"Another one popped up. β
Gell wondered, but his gaze turned back to Amos, and the dead man had no more value.
The next thing to do was to listen to Amos tell you all about it. In order to save his family's life, Amos was eager to tell the size of his underwear.
The matter is very simple, Amos is in charge of the purchase of ingredients in the kitchen in the core tower, the dead man gave Amos a sum of money to buy Amos, and added these two kinds of plants that did not have any toxicity after separation to Baron Andrei's food, and when the situation became serious more than a month later, Amos had no way to get off the ship, so he could only continue to eat poisonous food for Baron Andrei under the command of the dead man, which eventually led to the death of the baron.
When Amos finished speaking, the hall was in an uproar. The clansmen who originally thought that Baron AndrΓ© was a natural death suddenly turned their suspicious eyes on Carlos, Lovren, and Lolucy, and the baron's poisoning and the appearance of their proper benefits, although there is no direct evidence now, but if you want to say that it doesn't matter, someone has to believe it.
For a while, the three of Lovren were a little restless.
The matter was settled, Amos and the dead soldiers who had turned into corpses were dragged out of the hall, and the people in the hall who had been gathered were also driven out, although this time the matter had nothing to do with them, but they did not want to continue their original work.
"Kevin, you'll take care of the rest. β
"Yes, young master. Kevin paused and asked, "What about Amos's family?"
There is no need to ask about Amos's disposition, the difference is what kind of criminal law is used to send him on his way.
"Escort them out of the territory to the north. β
To the north, it was the territory of the barbarians, and the environment was also harsh, so it was not something that ordinary people could survive. Gehr asked Amos's family to go there and let them all die there.
Kevin, the old butler, felt that he couldn't understand Gehr more and more, and the man who had grown up in his eyes seemed to be a completely different person. But he didn't dare to say more, so he answered.
"Now that you have enjoyed the fruits of your crimes, you must be prepared to bear the punishment you have for your crimes, and everyone needs to be responsible for themselves. Well, that's it for today. With the matter taken care of, Gell stood up and prepared to leave the hall.
"Gehr, please wait a minute. "Lovren, who spoke.
"Uncle Lovren, what's the matter?" said Gehr paused.
"Well, we're a little older, we're not used to the environment in the tower, and we want to move out ......of the building," Lovren made a request that was unexpected but understandable to those present. Now that they still have to live in the core tower with this suspicion on their backs, Gehr can find an excuse to drive them out of the city in a minute, and it is better to go out consciously, at least stay in Winterdusk Castle.
"Uncle Carlos and Aunt Lo Lucy think the same thing?"
"Yes, we want to live in the city too. Carlos and Lucy spoke together.
"Alright, Kevin, you arrange a comfortable place for your aunts and uncles. β
"Yes, young master. β
