Chapter 665 Sue
"Oh, so speaking of it, you did murder me on purpose?"
While Maz was discussing with Rick, a voice suddenly sounded around them. The familiar tone made them jump up immediately: "Run?! Damn!"
They kept staring behind them. When did the other party come so close?
"I'm very sad...after all, you were my friends..." Fang Yuan said calmly, "but now you want to murder me, don't you know how much it will cost to murder a free citizen according to the laws of the principality?" The price? You will be sent to the gallows!"
"No!"
Rick's legs softened, and he almost knelt on the ground: "This is all Maz's idea!"
"Stand up, you idiot!" Mazi's eyes were red with fierce light, and he suddenly pulled out a dagger: "Now, we have to send him to the underworld, otherwise we will all go to prison!"
He rushed forward, and the dagger in his hand stabbed out like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter. Although he had not received professional assassination training, this hand was accurate and ruthless, and he did not know how many times he had practiced in private.
He was also the one who backstabbed Rune in the jungle back then!
Snapped!
But this time, there was an accident.
The severe pain came, and Mazi suddenly felt his wrist was clamped by a strong force, and the dagger fell to the ground directly.
"Very good determination, but unfortunately..."
Fang Yuan sighed and exerted a little force on his wrist.
Click!
There was the ear-piercing sound of bone cracking.
Immediately, Mazi screamed and fell to the ground, almost passed out from the pain.
"Rick..."
After doing all this, Fang Yuan turned his head and looked at another little friend who was almost frightened: "Do you want to be like him?"
"No!"
Rick was shocked and shook his head tremblingly.
"Very well...then tell me everything that happened!"
Fang Yuan glanced around.
Even though Luen's cabin is on the edge of the town, such a situation is still easy to be seen by outsiders, so it must be resolved quickly.
"It's because of an inheritance, from the Jolla Knights of the Shawshank Land!" Rick looked at the dagger on the ground, swallowed, and said quickly: "The Jolla Knights' family died of the plague, and the other heirs also died. Misfortunes have happened one after another, so it's your turn! Really... you will receive the estate papers soon, so Maz is urging me to do it!"
"The legacy of a knight?"
Fang Yuan touched his chin.
A fighter is an extraordinary profession, but a knight is a nobleman!
They are equivalent to the high-level warriors of the lord. They need to prepare their own armor and mounts, and even follow the lord to fight. In return, they often have a manor as a fief. annuity compensation.
Generally speaking, knights have their own manors. At this time, most of the manors are self-sufficient, and even produce olive oil and wine, which are sold for profit.
Not to mention, once one became a knight, it represented entering the ruling class, even if it was only the lowest level, and one's status immediately changed.
At this time, such a temptation can indeed make many people scheming regardless of danger.
"I have the qualifications to inherit the knight?"
Fang Yuan shook his head, feeling a bit dumbfounded, and suddenly, his expression became a little dignified.
Lu En's parents did not leave him any inheritance, but the status of a free citizen is beyond the reach of many common people in this era.
"Not to mention... this Ruen's mother seems to have some noble blood, although it is very rare..."
Even a baron or earl cannot divide up the territory in his hands indefinitely. Therefore, those concubines must find their own livelihood, be stewards for other nobles, or become knights' servants, all of which are possible, let alone concubines. .
In such a big environment, it is not impossible for a knight's blood to spread to a freeman family.
"only……"
Fang Yuan shook his head: "This kind of relationship is already very thin, after three generations...it will still fall on me, how many unlucky people died before?"
He estimated that with his own blood, he would be lucky to be ranked eighth and ninth.
But now, unexpectedly, the big gift package fell on his head, that is to say, all the other successors in the line of succession are dead?
"The water here is unfathomable!"
Fang Yuan felt a chill, and immediately continued to ask questions.
This Rick is not as good as Maz, and he immediately confessed everything, to the effect that the heir behind Fang Yuan, in order to obtain the title of knight, paid a large price to buy his life!
‘A position that I’ve been avoiding so much that I’m afraid that there are still fools eager to sit in it...Of course, it’s also possible that he is the real culprit behind the scenes, but this possibility is too small...’
If the other party really has this kind of dark energy, no matter where it is, it will be a breeze to move yourself to a knight collar, and there is no need to go to war so much.
"Trouble is coming..."
Fang Yuan sighed lightly, but he wasn't really scared.
His character has always been that when he comes, he will settle down.
What's more, the deeds of that Jorah knight also aroused his interest.
"However, before that, these two troubles must be dealt with first!"
Fang Yuan thought for a while, escorted Mazi and Rick to the town, and found the former mayor.
"Ah, it's Luen, why are you here?"
The mayor's name was Michelle. Seeing Fang Yuan and the others coming, especially Mazi's tragic appearance and the dagger, a gleam of surprise flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"I will sue these two men for murdering a knight's heir!"
Fang Yuan immediately spoke loudly.
"Murder of nobles? Where is the victim?"
Michelle jumped up immediately, which was different from the nature of free people.
"The victim is me!"
Fang Yuan pointed to himself.
Although he did not receive the documents, but Meng Shi could tell the truth from the false, he naturally knew that the two men were not lying.
At this time, there is nothing to borrow the tiger's skin first.
"You...heir to the knight?"
Michelle felt a little dazed.
After all, Lu En, Maz, and Rick, who were good friends in the past, brought the two of them here and sued them for murder, which was already very surprising.
And Lu En claimed to be the heir of the knight, which was even more surprising.
"Yes, I will inherit the Chola Manor in Shawshank Territory!"
Fang Yuan spoke clearly, but it sounded a bit brazen: "And these two people, in the forest, actually tried to murder me. Just now, they carried out another despicable plot! They tried to assassinate me for the second time! "
"...I see, guard!"
Michelle looked at the dagger, called two militiamen, and took Mazi and Rick down first: "No matter what, this is a case of murdering free people, I will continue to investigate, and you, Lu Well, I will confirm the truth of the matter, and you cannot leave Lanyue Town until the case is concluded!"
"Of course!"
Fang Yuan readily agreed.
Although I know that from now on, there will probably be militiamen watching me, but it doesn't matter at all.
His original intention was to leave these two people to the town to deal with, and then use the channels of the town hall to help him find out the authenticity of Jorah's knight's inheritance.
Anyway, after the news spread, would the man behind the scenes dare to continue his plot?
Fang Yuan was looking forward to this.
Of course, if in the end, it turns out that everything is an oolong, then there is nothing to say, just pat your ass and leave.
After all, he is not the real Rune, and he has no sense of belonging to this identity.
What's even better is that Lu En's relatives and friends are almost withered, and they can be said to be carefree, and they can take a trip at any time.
"A knight... huh..."
After returning to his wooden house, Fang Yuan sat cross-legged, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't want to cause trouble at first... but it turned out to be complicated and complicated, one after another... Could it be that this is also the counterattack of the world's subconscious?"
"Since the catastrophe is coming, it is only a bad idea to blindly avoid it. You should take the initiative to respond to the catastrophe in order to find a way to resolve it. It seems...that knight position, I should fight for it."
...
This night, many people are destined to be unable to sleep peacefully.
In the town hall.
Michelle wore a pair of round glasses, looked at the official documents under the oil lamp, took them off after a long time, and rubbed between his brows.
In fact, neither Maz nor Rick was a strong character, and they confessed everything without even going to prison.
The ins and outs of the matter are already very clear.
Even, he had heard about the knight Jorah, and knew of the other party's misfortune.
Therefore, these two people can indeed be said to have solid evidence, and a charge of murdering a nobleman can definitely send them to the gallows.
But how could things be so simple?
Looking at this confession, Michelle wished he could kill them directly.
"The mastermind of all this turned out to be the businessman Owen? He is a close friend of the baron... Could it be that there is still the will of the baron behind all these things?"
It is precisely because of this consideration that Michelle has been unable to make up his mind.
Even, I wish I could stay away from this muddy water, the farther the better!
"Mayor, Pastor Torello is here!"
Just then, a servant knocked on the door, bringing news of another unexpected visitor.
"Oh my god... isn't he willing to wait even one night?"
Michelle lamented, and immediately invited Torello to the hall, with a false smile on his face: "My lord pastor, you came just in time. Regarding your reward, I have ordered people to prepare..."
"Actually... I didn't come here for a reward!"
There was a smile on Torello's mouth: "It's the mayor, you seem to have encountered some trouble? I wonder if I can help you?"
