Chapter 246 Public Trial
Li Mosi had already discovered the hiding place.
It was a narrow servants' quarters.
……
"Is the battle over?"
As the sounds from the main building gradually faded away, Bazk looked up and cautiously uttered a question.
"It should be."
Gaimour listened to the commotion outside and spoke softly.
Without a doubt, the soldiers were defeated.
They are now trapped in this small house.
However, this place should be safe.
The wooden planks divided the main building of the fortress into two areas.
Outside was a large room where the master and soldiers lived.
This is where the servants live on the fourth floor.
To get here, you first have to pass through the kitchen and storeroom on the lowest floor, then climb a narrow ladder and walk through a corridor that they can only pass sideways.
For some reason, the butler did not arrange for any servants to move in this time.
Besides them, there was only Baron Talis's cook.
Gaymuller also complained about this.
He finally became a sheriff, so how could his household not have servants!
When Baron Taliss left, he took only his groom and a few servants who were his personal attendants, in addition to his family.
Those lowly servants weren't taken away at all, so what's wrong with him using them!
Who knew things would turn out like this back then?
This, ironically, became their advantage.
In this way, only a few of them should know the location of this place.
Bokla listened for a while.
The sounds of battle ceased, and the footsteps slowed down.
He spoke in a low voice.
"Once the enemy relaxes their guard, I will lead you out of here and catch up with Lord Talis."
"Gurgle."
Bazk swallowed hard.
How can he escape in his current state?
"Then it all depends on you."
He dared not ask.
Because I'm afraid that if I ask, I'll really be abandoned.
coward.
Gaimur frowned with disdain as he looked at Bazk's frightened expression.
He didn't understand why the guards would bring this blasphemous fellow into their territory.
Can't other people be tax officers?
Tap, tap, tap...
Hearing footsteps coming down from upstairs, the group gripped their weapons tightly.
As they entered the warehouse, the Bazk family picked up tools such as sickles and knives. Bokla carried a longsword, and Gaimur carried a spear in addition to an iron sword.
Iron swords were still a bit too short for soldiers.
Fortunately, the footsteps did not stop and continued towards the stairwell.
This brought a sigh of relief to the Bazck family.
stretch--
Bokla heard strange noises.
That's the sound of something being stretched!
He pushed off with his right foot and fell to the left.
All eyes in the room were on him.
Bang!
Before anyone could react, an arrow, carrying splinters of wood, burst through the wall!
bump!
The arrow stopped only after it pierced the wooden wall at the other end.
Zi'an won't give them a chance to react!
She started charging right after she finished shooting, smashing right through the wooden partition wall!
A group of goblin warriors, who had already cocked their crossbows, chased her into the room!
The butler, "Bokra," straightened himself out and crouched down to throw a longsword at Koyasu!
Longswords are not suitable for throwing.
But the butler possesses the strength of a knight!
The longsword flew out with a whoosh, and Zi'an threw out the steel crossbow.
The crossbow had the largest impact area, and it tangled with the longsword in mid-air before both landed on the ground.
Then she swung the spear horizontally!
"It has nothing to do with me!"
"etc!"
The cook fled directly outside, and Bazk's family followed him.
"You damned bastards!"
With no one to help him up, Bazk had no choice but to lie down on the spot!
Gaimur watched as the spear spun with a whooshing sound, and he too chose to lie down.
Tap, snap!
The spear struck the wall, bounced twice, and then lashed out hard into Bokra's chest.
Bokla didn't feel any pain.
He fell into a coma.
[Target Status: Strong, Adult, Coma]
Good guy.
There's no fracture or internal bleeding?
There's always a story waiting for you to uncover.
Li Mosi couldn't help but marvel at the powerful physique of the extraordinary nobles.
Even a knight would be difficult to kill.
Hearing the whooshing sound of Zi'an throwing the spear, he knew that an ordinary person could not withstand such a blow.
"Lay down your weapons! Surrender and you will not be killed!"
Zi'an blurted it out.
Snapped!
Gaymur let the weapons fall to the ground.
How did these people even find it?!
He doesn't understand!
There shouldn't be any more noise coming from inside!
However, since the butler had fallen and his fate was unknown, he no longer needed to resist.
How could he possibly win!
Zi Yi crawled into the house.
"Tie them up! Blindfold them and mouths!"
Before long, the Bazk family, the butler, and Gaimour were all tied up, blindfolded, and gagged.
Like the wandering soldiers, they were all dragged to the open space inside the fortress.
The wandering soldiers were treated in the same way after they were brought out.
Zi'an and Ziyi looked at the maze-like structure by the firelight and both expressed their incomprehension.
"Why make it so complicated?"
"It's bad enough that the servants' quarters are small, but why is the road so difficult to walk on?"
Li Mosi did not speak.
Just as he had expected, Hagi Saint spoke.
"How can servants appear so freely?"
Ziyi and Zian looked over.
Why not?
Aren't servants human?
"This is disgraceful for the lord!"
As she was talking, she suddenly started looking down her nose at people.
"You think you can be lords? You could spend years just learning the rules!"
After listening to what Hagi Saint had said, Li Mosi pinched her mouth shut.
He looked at his two disciples.
"The nobles here don't treat ordinary people as human beings, that's why they have these rules. Just know it, don't follow them. It won't make anyone happy."
Just as I expected.
Ziyi and Zian nodded seriously.
"Understood, Master."
They wouldn't do such a strange thing.
It sounds like they've raised a nest of capable mice.
As the group walked out of the main building, Li Mosi casually picked up two iron hooks used for hanging meat.
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, he pierced the butler's shoulder blade with an iron hook.
Those around were stunned.
The butler's body twitched, but he didn't wake up.
Li Mosi cut off the butler's heel again before walking back to Zi Yi, Zi An, and Haji Sheng.
"Piercing this spot with a hook can render a person's arm immobile."
After his brief explanation, Zi Yi got down to business.
"Master, we don't need them to rule this territory, are we right?"
When they took over Baron Stern, they also killed the steward.
Therefore, the master's attitude toward the steward was not surprising.
When devising methods to deal with these hiders on the rooftop, they showed no mercy to the tax collector and the remaining man.
In addition, there was what the tax collector "Bazick" did in the church...
Zi Yi had no intention of using such a bad thing to help him manage his territory.
Li Mosi glanced at the sky.
After the agonizing standoff in the main house, even the pitch-black sky began to lighten.
It was about to dawn.
He walked toward the gate of the inner wall.
Ziyi, Zian, and the Holy Maiden followed.
Once they reached the inner gate, Li Mosi nodded to Zi Yi.
"Yes. Think about it, what's the difference between this place and Baron Stern's Domain?"
Zi'an immediately spoke up.
"Baron Taliss isn't dead here, and the administrator is a bad guy too."
Zi nodded, indicating that he thought the same thing.
Li Mosi is similar.
"I haven't heard of anything too bad happening in Baron Stern's territory, but the priests in Baron Talis's territory are wicked, and the tax collectors are pedophiles. It's impossible not to put them on trial."
The saintess nodded.
She asked a very practical question.
"Then how do you intend to make your people obey you?"
Li Mosi looked at her two disciples.
"In Baron Stern's territory, we're using the authority of the old administrators and the people's habit of being managed. But besides letting the people continue to be used to being managed, we can also solve their problems and make them obedient."
"Do you know what a public trial is?"
