Chapter 287 Scapegoat

Ryan Gurf was happy in his heart, because since he had become the person looking for the prisoner, he would never be the scapegoat.

When things got to this point, if they didn't hand over the two people to Varian, things would become ugly. However, as soon as his groggy brain became clearer, he immediately realized something.

All the nobles just spoke to him.

He cannot repay kindness with enmity.

This is the most basic rule. Although he disdains it, he still understands it.

Then, his joy disappeared and was replaced by worry.

Of course he could choose a civilian to convict, but he used this excuse to fool Varian before because the warden made everyone angry. Everyone was worried that this person had too many secrets, so they decided to kill him together.

.

But if this matter is used to fool Varian in the future, although the nobles will still protect him, what about the future?

He will be in bad luck from now on.

Varian can't do anything against the big guys, but against any noble family alone, he can easily win, which is why his position is so stable.

Moreover, Varian's temper is notoriously violent, and he used the civilian subordinates he promoted to fool him...

Recalling the feeling of being thrown onto the table by Varian just now, Ryan Gurf felt uneasy in his heart.

He could feel that Varian really wanted to kill him just now!

If he hadn't been a king, he would be dead now.

"Not the common people, nor the nobles who helped me...then who else?"

He couldn't help but look at the nobles who were not in the same faction as them, and thought of the adventurers.

"That's right, adventurers, just push it to those adventurers."

He breathed a sigh of relief and waited quietly for the meeting of nobles to end.

It was a pity that no matter what proposals or requests the nobles put forward, Varian would watch them quietly.

Whether it was conferring honors, launching a war, or appointing a new warden, no matter what other people said, Varian remained silent.

As a result, nothing was completed today. Even when the Countess said she wanted to discuss the food price issue with Varian and Bolvar, Varian did not agree.

So everyone knew that if Varian was not given a satisfactory answer to this matter, Varian would not let it go easily.

So, the nobles began to gather together again.

"We absolutely cannot raise food prices any more."

The noble who had threatened Varian at the meeting lit his pipe anxiously.

"Soldiers in some towns can no longer feed their families. If the trouble continues, mutinies will occur. Food prices have reached their limit."

At the words of the big noble, the little nobles kept nodding, but Ryan Gurf didn't take it seriously.

What are the soldiers? They are just Varian's soldiers. Their private soldiers can live their lives as long as they can. Moreover, these nobles contribute less money and less effort, but they get the most. They

People work hard and make the most money. How can we earn enough at our current level with just a small amount of income?

Although you can't disobey the orders of the Noble Council, if you increase it a little bit, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Most of the little nobles thought like him, but some people directly expressed their problems.

"But, the guy named Li Ke keeps giving out food, I'm worried..."

Before the little noble finished speaking, the big noble interrupted him and gave him a solution.

"Won't you collect the grain that the madman distributed? Then follow our plan, go to other people's territories to sell grain, and say that you fought for it."

The little noble nodded and said nothing. His territory was very close to Li Ke's. He said that this was just to let others stand out when the time came.

As a result, the conference room fell into silence, and another noble noble spoke after a moment of silence.

"Ryan Gurf."

Ryan immediately looked at the nobleman. He knew he was talking about the 'murderer', but the next moment, he was stunned by the nobleman's words.

"You go back and make arrangements for your heir."

Ryan was stunned, and so was his smile.

Because this is letting him die.

"Can……"

His face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't say a word.

"We must give Varian an explanation, a weighty explanation, so some methods cannot be used. And this time I talked with them, and they helped us maintain the dignity of the nobles. We cannot ask

Their people bear the blame, not to mention that they themselves have no suspicion. Everyone here has helped you, and they cannot bear unjust injustice. So for the sake of the dignity of the family and a gentleman, please make arrangements for the heir.

.”

After the nobleman finished speaking, he sighed.

He didn't want to do this, but if Varian himself sent people to investigate and their raising of food prices was exposed, many people would really die.

"Don't let everyone down."

They are united, but not that united. When they are working towards a goal, they can naturally unite, but when it comes to paying the price, they will naturally not be willing to pay the price themselves.

Ryan Gurf's lips trembled. He thought a lot and wanted to say that he could use an adventurer, but it was not weighty enough, so in the end he could only respond with a trembling voice.

"Yes Yes……"

"No one will treat your twenty-year-old son badly in the Knights, your fifteen-year-old second son in the First Fleet, your three-year-old daughter in the manor, and your two illegitimate sons in the North County Monastery and the Holy Light Cathedral respectively.

And three illegitimate daughters from the Sisters of the Holy Light, the Rose Chamber of Commerce, and the Dalon Winery."

Another big noble also spoke.

"Yes, we will take good care of them, Ryan, don't worry, the Gurf family are role models of nobility, how could we forget your efforts."

Many nobles nodded one after another, but Ryan felt his heart stop.

"yes."

He left his seat tremblingly, while the nobles present continued to discuss the matter of food.

When Ryan returned to his residence, he cried and wrote his arrangements with a quill tremblingly. He didn't care about his son and illegitimate children. He felt that his own happiness was enough. What did his son's future future have to do with him?

But if he doesn't follow the arrangement, he will die miserably, just like his opponent, who will be stabbed dozens of times. He doesn't want to die in such a painful way.

"Woooooooo..."

He suffered a nervous breakdown, lying on the table and crying continuously, but the fear of being tortured still made him get up, but just when he was about to continue writing, he froze.

Because the countess appeared in front of him, playing with the poison he prepared for himself.

"You are afraid of death, right?"

The countess' smile was so moving at this moment, her bright eyes were full of spring, and under the pearlescent light, the countess' plump body looked so charming.

But Ryan Gurf had no idea that the countess's charming posture was not prepared for him at all, but for the people behind him.

A paladin who is injecting "selfish" anima and evil energy into his body that can make him lose his mind.

Li Ke, I hope there will be more chaos in Stormwind City.
