"No, no, Gruto is not a rebel!" Joel here was a little confused, but he still said to the team leader immediately.
"Not a rebel? Anyway, I know that the first and second legions have rebelled. Now they are about to start a fight. If our mercenary group didn't have enough people, we would have gone to the front to make money." said the team leader here.
, "Besides, what's the use of telling me all this? Her Majesty the Queen said this. They are rebels. If you don't believe me, ask yourself in the city."
"No, the men in our family will not rebel!" Gruto's wife on the ground said while crying. For her, this was a bolt from the blue. The sky has fallen, and she has not recovered yet.
"Huh, sophistry is useless. In fact, the Second Legion is rebelling." The team leader here said, "I can't make this up. This is the fact! In short, we must arrest people. If you stop them again, I will
Go and report to the city guards that your village is harboring rebels and the whole village is in rebellion!"
Now everyone was panicking and quickly looked at the old village chief, asking all at once: "Village Chief, are what they said true? Is that kid Gruto really rebelling?"
"Is that what the official document says?"
"Village Chief, I've watched that boy Gruto grow up, he doesn't look like a rebel."
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet first!" the old village chief here said, and then looked at the team leader, "This... where will they be caught?"
"We just hand it over to the city guard station. I don't know where to send it later." The team leader said, "You still want people, right? I advise you not to waste time and rebel against the Yi tribe. The national law is like this, who will let them
The men of the family rebelled."
"This is all a misunderstanding. Gruto will not rebel." The old village chief also said.
"In this way, I will also show you the way." The team leader here thought for a while and said, "Her Majesty the Queen said, give these rebels a month. Within a month, if they come back, they will not rebel.
If he is sentenced to twenty years of hard labor, the most he can do is go to the south to dig mines for twenty years, and he may come back alive. His family members can be pardoned. If they think he is unjust, they should quickly send someone to deliver a message asking him to immediately
If you come back, you can still save people."
The reason why the team leader told them was that it would not affect their income. After all, Linton gave 5 silver coins per head, and it didn't matter if the people were delivered. Whether these people were killed or released afterwards, it did not affect how much money they would give.
.
"This..." The old village chief was also confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.
"That's it, the road is left for you. I have to rush to other villages here, so don't block the road." The team leader said and waved his hand, "Let's go, hurry up and get on your way."
As they spoke, a few mercenaries dragged the three of them outside. No one dared to move the group of villagers surrounding them, and they could only watch these people leave in a swaggering manner. In the end, the old village chief here also did not
say what.
"Village Chief, is this true? Gruto really rebelled?"
"What should the village chief do? They all belong to the same village. Do we not care about their families?"
"village head……"
As soon as a few mercenaries left, the villagers here started discussing it. Of course, most of them asked the village chief what to do.
The Gruto family is quite popular in the village, and most of the villagers still feel like they need to help. Of course, there are also some who are not well-connected, and now they start making sarcastic remarks.
"I knew that boy Gruto, with his sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, was not a good person. Sure enough, he dared to rebel and almost brought down our entire village."
"As for his mother, she was bragging to me just a few days ago that her son had joined the Second Army Corps and so on. How good the benefits were, how he looked, and how arrogant he was. Look at the way he was just dragged away."
"Village Chief, our family doesn't care about them. This is a serious crime of rebellion. If not, the whole family will have to pay for it. Do you really want to help their family fight against the thieves?"
When it comes to this, most people actually shrink back. After all, it is a rebellion. The Yi clan's major crime is that although they have a good relationship with the Gruto family, they cannot risk the lives of their whole family to help them.
Go home.
"Okay, shut up!" The old village chief here was also a little angry when he heard these words. But he didn't blame him too much, because he was familiar with Gruto's family and knew that Gruto was definitely not a bad person. Others
If you don’t know, you can’t blame them, right?
"Joel, are you willing to help with this?" the old village chief looked at Joel here and said.
"Of course!" Joel nodded. Gruto was really his brother. Of course he was willing to help if he could. But he was just a farmer. Although he had read some books, his knowledge was limited. How could he know what to do now?
"You... go to the north now." The old village chief thought for a while and said, "Sending letters is unreliable. The guy just said that there is going to be a war, and I don't even know if the letter can be delivered. Just
In a month's time, their home will be gone. You go directly to Gruto and tell him the situation immediately. I think he was deceived. He is not that kind of person. You go directly to him.
bring back."
The old village chief really wanted to help. If he hadn't been old, he would have wanted to go north himself. Now he can only let Joel go.
"Go to the north..." Joel hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth and nodded. Of course he knew the danger. Didn't they say there was going to be a war? Moreover, there was a rebellion in the north, and it was probably very chaotic.
.But Gruto is really his brother, and his son Seral calls him uncle, so he can't do it if he doesn't care.
"Okay, you set off right away. I'll pay for the travel expenses and so on." The old village chief said, "Be sure to let him come back right away!"
"Okay." Joel also nodded and said, "I'll go home and tell you."
"I'll go with you." The old village chief also knew that Joel's family might also want to persuade him. This matter is indeed dangerous, and of course the family will be worried.
The same thing is happening in many other villages, because the city guards in the city basically come to arrest them directly, while those in the villages outside are basically outsourced. Now each person is worth 5 silver coins, and a head is money.
, but Her Majesty the Queen has said that money counts only for those who are alive, not for those who are dead. Who can't live with money? So naturally more of those captured alive are more likely to be caught alive.
Of course, some people ran into trouble, but in general, such large-scale arrests did not arouse much resistance. The fundamental reason is that everyone thinks that there is nothing wrong with rebelling against the Yi tribe and that there is national law.
, what can you say?
Compared to the south, when the news reached the north, it was not just a matter of a few minor conflicts. As soon as the news reached the areas occupied by the northern rebels, everyone was instantly shocked.
