The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is set on the fire.
The town is silent, every family turns off its lights and every household is closed. There are only one or two birds crying, and occasionally it sounds over the town.
However, it was also fleeting and could not bring about any fluctuations. At this time, the town was like a deep ancient well, quiet and intimidating.
Only on the path leading to the outside of the town was constantly chaotic footsteps. At this time, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the three figures became clearer in the dim moonlight.
"Sir, do you really want to give that kid money?" On the way of the night, a man suddenly asked in a low voice.
The two people who had performed a scene of cheating in front of the Romon store, their dress and expressions became much more serious at this time. Aside them, the man with a gloomy face was not someone else, but the tax officer Baccar who repeatedly made things difficult for Romon.
Judging from the situation at this time, the tax officer Baccar and these two people actually knew each other, and these two people were shown to be subordinates of the tax officer.
If Romon stood here at this time, he would have been secretly satisfied with his original speculation. He only saw a figure and found out the messenger who made trouble. He was really smart.
And these two people are now walking with small pockets on their backs, and the sound is jingling behind them. When they hear the sound, they are actually two pockets of coins.
He seemed dissatisfied with handing over so much money to others. Along the way, one of them kept muttering, and now he relied on his courage to ask Bakar the questions in his heart.
But Bakar, the shrewd middle-aged man, smiled coldly and did not answer his subordinates' questions.
The other person understood it, raised his hand and slapped his palm on the head of the person who asked him. "Idiot! How could the lord really give him the money? That kid was confused by the money, and were you confused too?"
The man who was beaten seemed to be in a position of being bullied. He didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he had to nod.
Tax Officer Bakar looked coldly, his face was very calm, but he was really angry. However, what he was angry about was not his subordinates' nonsense, but Romon's boldness.
During the day, I got something that Romon had his own handle from the angry Wei Wei. Although I didn't believe it, I still thought about it after fooling Wei Wei with sweet words.
Because he did do a lot of shameful things in secret, after thinking about it, although he was not sure whether Romon really had the evidence, Bakar, who had always been cautious, decided to ask Romon for the previous question.
Since Romon had some evidence, Bakar also planned to use the trick. He asked his subordinates to come into contact with Romon on the grounds of seeing a doctor and vaguely said that he was willing to trade evidence with money.
Things went smoothly. After Romon really knew what he meant, he proposed an amazing number to prepare the money. At 8 o'clock tonight, he would pay the money and evidence at the other hand.
The tax officer did bring some money, but he planned to hand it over to Romon. As long as he confirmed that the other party had evidence in his hand, he would be ready to arrest Romon and ask for guilt - a joke, who he is, the official in the territory, and the greatest function of an official is to be unreasonable when necessary.
As for these evidences, although it is not a big deal, it is known by the lord and has a bad impression, so if you can get it, you can get it!
He brought two subordinates over there, just to prevent Romon from asking for help. But when he thought that Romon dared to collect money, Bakar was unhappy, but he was disdainful.
I thought the other party was an ambition, but I didn't expect that he was also jealous of money. He really responded to what his subordinate said just now, and was confused by money.
Perhaps, just in line with that sentence, intelligence is just mistaken for intelligence. No matter how smart a person is, he will inevitably be confused. Humph, is my money so easy to get? As long as Romon takes this money, the temple can determine this sin as extortion and blackmail. To be honest, Baccar still wants Romon to get the money now!
Moreover, through the Reverend Tenness, he had contacted the intermediate priest who could perform "confession" in the city, and the lord had also prepared some things, and everything was waiting for Romon to go to the gallows. Thinking of this, he was happy - his abilities seemed to have improved, and everything was planned.
"Romon, Bakar really wants to trade evidence with you?" Arini, the second lady who was rarely used to change into a house-style suit, looked around and asked. In addition to her and Romon, Romon's friend Fafell was also present at the scene.
Romon risked his rumor to be unhappy with the lord and dating Elini just for today. He didn't know that Baccar had already followed the lord's path, but he also followed the lord's path.
Romon looked around and whispered: "I'm sorry, Miss Alinie, I'll let you come here so late, but this matter is very important. It not only concerns my safety, but also your father's safety. So, please hide here with Fafell now, don't make any noise, and you will understand the matter soon."
As he said that, he let the two of them hide behind the tall bushes beside him.
Because the moonlight is dark today, the second lady Elini's clothes have been changed to darker, so she and Fafell hid there and would not be discovered at all.
Although I don’t quite understand what Romon is doing, the frequent contacts during this period have already given Elini a certain degree of trust in Romon. Otherwise, at night, she, a girl, wouldn’t have been able to come here with just one letter.
Seeing the two people hiding, Romon stood at the side of the road, looking towards the other end of the road. Soon, three figures appeared from the other end of the road, and then became clearer and clearer.
It was not until they got closer that Romon saw clearly what the person came.
"Mr. Bakar, fortunately you came on time, otherwise, I would have to hand over the evidence." Romon stood in the road, holding his shoulders with his hands and smiling.
"Boy, what are you saying? Why don't you hand over the evidence?" Before the tax officer could speak, a subordinate next to him had already walked out and held the hilt of the sword.
Romon's face suddenly showed a look of dissatisfaction: "Mr. Bakar, if I remember correctly, I asked you to come here alone, right? Why, I brought the thug here, do you want to rob it? If I said that I did not put the evidence on my body, would you be disappointed?"
"You..." The man was furious.
However, he was scared away by Bakar's cold snorting. Bakar laughed and said, "Brother Romon, you misunderstood. I asked them to come, but there was no malice..."
Asking his subordinates to put their pockets on the ground, he explained: "You have also seen, Brother Romon, I can't carry them alone after you have asked for so much money, so I asked them to come purely to save some effort."
"Since that's the case, you let them all leave now." Romon said coldly.
Bakar waved his hand and the two of them immediately retreated. However, according to their prior preparation, the two of them did not really leave, but were hiding not far away, and they would hear the signal before rushing out.
Romon watched them leave, then smiled and said, "This is almost the same."
"So, let's talk about serious things." Bakar said with his eyes narrowed.
"Of course." Romon looked at the two pockets on the ground and couldn't help but sigh: "But they say I'm very rich, but judging from your work, you secretly withheld a lot of taxes."
Bakar's face suddenly calmed down. "What are you talking about this? Where is the evidence? Give it to me."
"Haha! Why are you anxious? I can't escape. I'm just curious. Logically, you are also from a noble family and are both in the same clan as the lord. You don't lack money, right? Isn't it good to be a noble noble? Why do you have to do despicable things? These things are really not worthy of your noble status!" Romon laughed, but what he said was the most taboo thing for a nobleman in the other family.
Just as cautious as Bakar couldn't help but retort: ​​"What do you know! You, a civilian, how can you know the hardships of our branches? Why do they have to be born to the direct line, but those of us who are of the same noble status have to do such a low-ranking thing and deal with untouchables like you? Why? Moreover, I collect all these money at a minute, and I deserve it! I deserve it!"
Under the moonlight, he suddenly saw the teasing and smile in Romon's eyes. Bakar couldn't help but feel angry, and then suppressed his anger and said with a sneer: "I have put the money here. Where is the evidence in your hands? Give it to me."
"Oh, why are you anxious?" Romon shook his head, took out a stack of letters from his arms, and then walked to Bakar. "But I have to check if the money is real, open your pocket and let me take a look."
Bakar held back his anger and opened the two pockets in turn. Sure enough, there were two large bags of shiny silver coins. "You can give me the letter."
"Okay, let it be for you." Romon's expression of having money was easy to discuss and handed the letter to Bakar. He turned around and wanted to leave with the silver coins, but was stopped by Bakar. "Wait, I have to verify the authenticity of the thing."
"Okay, I'll follow you." Romon put down his pockets and walked back to Bakar. He saw Bakar tearing open the envelope of a letter a few times, and then, he looked like he frowned more and more. Because it was dark, even though there was moonlight, he still put the letter very close to his eyes. Just as he was reading the letter, Romon suddenly whispered to him.
Then, Bakar suddenly raised his head, drew out the sword with shock and anger, and stabbed towards Romon. However, Romon had no time to dodge, and was stabbed by the opponent's shoulder with a sword and fell to the ground. Bakar actually leaned forward due to the sword force.
The two people hiding behind the bushes screamed and rushed out. The two people who were tearing each other together had reached the critical moment of life and death.
Because Romon had always turned his back to them, and Romon's voice was very low just now, in the second lady's eyes, the scene just now turned out like this: Romon was stopped by the other party, and then Bakar suddenly pulled his sword and stabbed it.
In her opinion, the tax officer secretly did bad things without her father, and Romon happened to have evidence in his hands. Because it was not enough to have physical evidence alone, Romon set up this bureau, allowing the tax officer to actively admit his crimes, and also made himself a witness to the incident, making the evidence more convincing. Although he had selfish intentions, he was still clear on the big festival.
But tax officer Bakar planned to kill people and completely eliminate the evidence. As a result, Romon fought with him...
No matter how you look at it, the second lady Alini had to stand up and stop the situation from getting worse, and she shouted: "Stop!"
He heard a scream. Bakar, who had been stabbing down with a sword, fell down, and Romon, covered in blood, got up from the ground, and then faced the second lady who was running over: "Sorry, but I was out of self-defense, but..."
The two people who ran over looked along his gaze and stabbed in Bakar's lower body. Bakar was wailing in pain with his pants clamped in his arms, rolling on the ground, a large amount of blood spilled on the ground with a foul odor.
When Alini saw this, she couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, she woke up and hesitated for a while before going to treat her.
Alini is a second-level priest and can only heal minor injuries. The two magical techniques of memory are used, barely stopping the blood. Alini hesitated and said, "I understand, Romon, I have seen everything I have just seen. Thank you for doing all this for the town. Don't worry, in the law, out of self-defense, I will not be punished. At that time, I will also prove you."
After receiving the second lady's guarantee, Romon's heart that had been hanging over was finally falling. He took the stack of letters from Bakar and asked Fafer to take out a few letters from his arms, put them together, and handed them over to the second lady.
"The evidence I showed to Bakar just now is indeed true, but there is still some of them that I have put in Fafell, and now I will give it to you."
Alini nodded.
At this moment, Bakar stopped wailing, he gasped, with endless regret in his eyes, and said, "I really regret... I'm almost..."
Speaking of this, he fainted. Alini thought he regretted not being stabbed just now. She frowned and a hint of disgust appeared.
Although Romon looked shocked and panicked on the surface, he felt very relaxed in his heart. He glanced at Bakar, who was now unconscious. The dagger was very long and stabbed inside. Not only did he get castrated, but he also smashed the kidneys inside. This kind of injury must be at least level seven or above before he can be cured, and it must be immediately - in this case, even if the Reverend Tenes arrives, there is only a way out of death.
The key to Bakar is the relationship with the lord, the connections accumulated in the town for decades, the class and circle consciousness. This is something that Romon could not catch up with, so no matter what evidence, it may not cause him to die, protect him with his relatives and protect him with his officials. This is not to be said to be fun. Once he recovers from his breath, he will not face these tricks.
Only by using this as bait to destroy his body can one kill the decisive decision, and suddenly cut off the root of the firewood from the cauldron and finally kill the person who should be killed.
