Chapter 24

Victor has a headache now.

During these days' journey, Victor obviously found Nicole in a very low mood.

Obviously, the last time the fierce jackal threatened Victor, the self abased and sensitive female trainee Knight blamed herself very much.

Seeing Nicole gradually becoming silent, Victor tried to appease her, but there was no good way.

So he wanted to divert Nicole's attention with some delicious food that was not in the world. This made Edwin greatly appreciated. Nicole became a lot more cheerful in the happy atmosphere of everyone.

Today, Victor asked Lilia to take people to the river to catch some delicious green shrimps. He was ready to make his famous iron plate prawns for everyone to taste. However, the guard killed the militia!

"That's how it happened, your excellency." Maus humbly lowered his head in Victor's disgusted eyes, hiding his obscene appearance under his hood.

Maus is a bitch with bad water. When he was in Heibao Town, he was a pickpocket in the guild. He was chased by the boss of the guild because he embezzled a newly stolen kinsol.

In order to escape for his life, Maus pretended to be a cobbler and joined Victor's South team while Victor was recruiting his people.

But Maus was never a safe man. After confirming that he had escaped a disaster, he began to move again.

He knew that he was thin and obscene. He was not a boss, so he just wanted to find a backer.

At this time, Logan, the militia captain responsible for distributing food to the people, came into his eyes.

Logan and his two brothers were originally farmers in the eastern provinces. Although they were reckless, they were honest. Later, the strong Logan and his two brothers were selected by Nelson to become a militia captain.

Although Maus is annoying, his cunning and bloody gangster career makes him very good at observing words and expressions and flattering. Several times of oblivion and flattery made the inexperienced Logan brothers quickly regard Maus as their own man.

Under the constant inducement of Maus, the Logan brothers began to use their right to distribute food to squeeze and coerce the cowardly peasant women. After tasting the sweetness several times, the silence of the victims made these people become more and more unscrupulous. The three brothers who were originally simple completely became disgusting scum, just like Maus.

Until they met Linda.

After logan was killed by Linda, Maus immediately screamed more sharply than women, and ran towards the camp without looking back, which was as fast as the rabbit chased by Teal dog.

The cunning Maus knew that there was only a dead end to staying where he was. He had to make things big before Nelson reacted, so that he could have a chance of life.

"Kill! Kill!" Maus shouted as he ran in the camp, and soon he succeeded in alerting everyone, including victor.

In the crowd, Maus publicly accused Linda of killing Logan.

Victor looked at the two brothers sitting on the ground crying with Logan's body and the surrounding people. He also looked at Linda, a pale maid standing next to Nelson with her hands tied. He was very embarrassed.

The War Bear mercenaries under Nelson are the only armed force that Victor can rely on at present, and Nelson's performance along the way has not disappointed him. Victor also knows that Linda is Nelson's partner, so he can't order Linda to be executed anyway.

However, Linda brazenly killed a spring buying militia, which was recognized by all parties, including herself. If Linda cannot be dealt with fairly, victor will inevitably lose the trust of all his neighbors. This crack is fatal to a new Lord.

Victor decided to turn to the old scholar for help.

"Master, how do you usually deal with such things?" Victor whispered to Edwin next to him.

"I never deal with these things myself. It's all my housekeeper's responsibility." Edwin gave Victor a hand.

When Victor turned his eyes to Bruce, the knight shook his head and said that he would not deal with these trifles himself.

Seeing victor in a dilemma, Maus was secretly proud. He knew that no matter how Victor dealt with Linda, he had saved his life for the time being.

"My Lord, I am willing to accept all punishment." Despite Nelson's livid face, Linda stepped forward and said to victor.

Victor didn't speak. He instinctively felt that things were not as simple as everyone thought. However, the peasant woman admitted that she sold spring to Logan for money and food, and Linda did kill Logan after understanding the cause of the matter.

However, seeing Maus's obscene face, Victor was sure there was something fishy in it! Because he was a face watcher, he decided to find out the truth.

If they are ordinary lords in the world, in order to maintain their dominant position, they may choose to directly execute Linda or release Linda. They won't try to find out the truth like Victor.

Victor silently opened the super sense and super limit state. He needs to get more information in the details.

Vision, hearing and perception form a clear and incomparable three-dimensional image of all the surrounding images and sounds in Victor's mind. Under the continuous correction and screening of x-3, Victor accurately grasped the expressions of all the people present and communicated with them in a low voice.

In addition to the anxiety and worry of the members of the War Bear mercenaries and the anger and numbness of the onlookers, he also captured several happy emotions.

"Good death!"

"The beast was finally punished."

These are several farmers whispering to themselves, which were screened out through x-3.

"You, you, and you, come out." Victor pointed these people out one by one from the crowd.

"Don't be afraid. What's your name?" Victor chose the farmer who hated the dead most among the three and asked him kindly.

"My Lord, my name is Rhett." Victor's warm attitude made the farmer a lot bolder.

"Rhett, I'll give you a chance to tell you what you know. If you hide something and cause me to misjudge, I'll order you to be hanged." Victor's direct language was like a sharp knife, forcing the hesitant farmer to a dead corner.

"My Lord, I have something to say! Logan and his family don't distribute enough food to our family every time on the pretext that the children can't receive food. In order to feed the children, we can only use our savings to buy food from him. Now the money has run out. The child's mother has to sell her body to their beasts and exchange the money for food." The cowardly farmer felt a burst of joy at seeing Maus and the participating militias change their faces.

"Is that so?" Victor asked the others.

"Yes, my Lord."

"That's right."

After getting a positive answer from several people, Victor smiled and said to himself, "in other words, guard Linda killed a thief who stole my food."

"Sir, spare your life! It's none of my business. I don't know at all. I'm just Logan's friend. I'm not his militia. I didn't participate in their theft." When Maus saw that the leaders began to cast angry eyes at them, he immediately fell to the ground, begged for mercy loudly, and picked himself clean. As for the boss, he had to carry the pot in addition to eating meat first.

"Linda, as the guard of the Wimbledon family, you killed the thief who stole the family property without my permission and committed the crime of Passover. I'll punish you to pay 200 gold sol's atonement." Victor ruled on Linda in Nelson's grateful eyes.

Two hundred gold sols is a huge sum of money for Linda, but she can still pay with Nelson's help, but Nelson will work for Victor for the next two years.

"As for these thieves, deprive them of the identity of leading the people, and drive them out of the camp with ten lashes each."

Maus was overjoyed to hear that Victor just drove them away. On the surface, he still pretended to be frightened.

"Let the master laugh." Victor said politely to Edwin.

Edwin knew that Victor had to deal with some internal affairs next. He smiled and said to victor, "Victor, don't care, but the iron shrimp you promised can't just forget it."

After Edwin and Bruce returned to the carriage, Victor dispersed the onlookers and stopped Nelson.

"My Lord, i..." Nelson saw Victor's cold eyes and couldn't say the words he wanted to express his gratitude for a moment.

"Nelson, I don't care how damn those scum are, but you must remember that no one can kill my people with impunity, and no one can execute the prisoners in my territory without my consent. This is the last and only time, do you remember?"

As a lord and protector of order, Victor could not tolerate this challenge to his rights. He felt it necessary to beat Nelson.

"I remember, my Lord." Nelson replied solemnly.

"Also, shouldn't old Ham's Teal dog be released sometime?" Victor said coldly before turning away.

Victor is not a cold-blooded and cruel man, but he hates scum who takes pleasure in bullying the weak.

"Yes, my Lord, they should slip away." Captain Zhan Xiong's mouth pulled an arc upward, and his thick white teeth were cold.

Looking at the passing motorcade, Maus limped in the opposite direction.

"We're all going to die. We'll all be eaten by wild animals! Maus, it's all your fault! If you hadn't provoked Logan, we wouldn't have come to this end." One of Logan's brothers complained loudly.

Maus walked forward without saying a word.

Seeing that Maus, who usually flatters himself and others, dares to ignore himself, the man roared and rushed to Maus, grabbed his collar and wanted to teach him a lesson.

Before the man's fist hit his face, Maus flashed a sharp knife between his fingers and pressed it on the man's neck.

"Listen, fool, when I killed, you were still farming in your hometown. What? Do you want to try?" The knife pressed on the militia's artery, and Maus's momentum like a poisonous snake frightened him.

After fading the madness brought by power, the farmer's lowliness and cowardice returned to these poor bastards.

"Listen to me, you rubbish. Only follow me can you find a way to live. I'll take you back to Heibao town. Before that, whoever wants to make trouble for me, I'll tell him to taste the taste of cutting meat with a knife!"

Maus smiled strangely and was very satisfied that he could frighten these men who were far stronger than him. Just as he was about to play some more threatening means, a burst of whine came to several people's ears from far to near.

They looked around in fear, but they found that old ham, the dog trainer, didn't know when to follow up. He was riding on his horse and smiled coldly at them.

Justice may be late, but it will never forgive.
