Chapter 1470 The commander of the guard and the mill owner
"Please come with me." The judicial officer said these words coldly and expressionlessly, and then stared at Hawks with a face like ice cubes and a pair of sinister triangular eyes.
When the judicial officer came in, everyone in the room was awakened. Then they put on their clothes, walked out of the room, and gathered in the living room. They looked at the man in black who suddenly broke in with surprise or fear.
Hawkes was also getting ready for bed, but he was wearing a long nightgown.
When he finished listening to the judge's words, Hawks was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became much older.
The originally straight waist bent involuntarily, although it was just a moment. But in the eyes of everyone, it was extremely shocking.
This professional soldier has maintained his military style at all times for more than sixty years and has never slacked off for a second.
Someone once said that even if the enemy rushed into his command tent, he would not blink an eye.
From this we can see that the judicial officer's words had a severe blow to him.
Could this veteran soldier, who has always been as steady as a mountain, also be crushed?
Hawks calmed down, pursed his lips tightly and pondered for a moment, then let out a long sigh, his eyes shone with light again, and said softly: "Okay, I'll come right away, but please let me change my clothes."
.”
After saying that, he pointed at the pajamas he was wearing.
The judicial officer twitched his lips, and a sneer of victory appeared on his indifferent face. Seeing a once arrogant man speak to him in such a pleasant tone, the judicial officer felt unprecedentedly satisfied.
He raised his head arrogantly, with the disgusting expression that is characteristic of low-level officials when they make things difficult for the people. He said without a doubt: "Sir, our time is very tight."
Hawks couldn't help but hesitate. Then he sighed again and said, "Then let me say goodbye to my family. I..."
Before he could finish his words, the judicial officer turned slightly, interrupted him, and said coldly: "Sir, please."
Not only were they not allowed to change their clothes, they were not even allowed to say a few words to their family members. This was really too much of a deception.
After all, he is loyal to his country. He has served for more than sixty years and has more scars on his body than his medals. What's more, he is still a highly respected old man.
Seeing Hawkes being so insulted, everyone present could not help but feel indignant. They were nobles and the family members of the Royal Guards Admiral, and had never suffered such wanton insults from such a small person.
The men clenched their fists, while some of the women covered their faces with their hands, sobbing softly, and some even threw themselves into the arms of the people next to them.
Hawks looked at the open door and saw darkness in the distance: not a trace of starlight appeared today~!
Only the biting cold air blew in through the door.
He stretched out his hands and wrapped his robe and was about to step forward.
At this time, the judicial officer seemed to be impatient with waiting. He stretched out his hand and pushed his back very roughly. At the same time, he said: "Let's go quickly."
Hawks couldn't help but staggered a step.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but commotion. A petty official dared to treat a nobleman like this. In normal times, this would be a capital offense.
A young man in the hall roared angrily and rushed toward the sword hanging on the wall.
Hearing that roar, the judicial officer couldn't help but shrink his neck suddenly, shuddered, and then turned around to look.
I saw the young man pulling a sword off the wall like a mad tiger, then turned around and was about to rush towards this side.
When Hawks saw this, he immediately shouted angrily: "Stop, Filar, stop it."
The young man couldn't help but hesitated, and shouted angrily: "But, grandpa..."
Immediately afterwards, a burst of chaotic and rapid footsteps was heard, and a group of soldiers dressed in black rushed in.
As soon as they entered the door, they opened their bows and arrows and coldly aimed at everyone present.
When the judicial officer saw this, he immediately sneered. He raised his hand to straighten his clothes, stroked the hair on his head, and said loudly in a contemptuous tone: "My department is following the order of the Prime Minister to arrest the treasonous traitors. Who dares to arrest them?"
Anyone who blocks it will be killed without mercy~!"
The voice was like a poisonous snake, squeezed out from between the teeth, filled with a deep chill.
Seeing this, Filar became even more angry. He roared and was about to rush over. Young people always think that bravery is a compliment and do not understand the bloody and cruel meaning behind it.
Rufian screamed next to him and rushed over desperately, hugging him tightly. If he really rushed forward, the opponent would definitely kill him on the spot as soon as possible.
The judicial officer couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth in disappointment. If the young man pounced on him, he would have reason to shoot him on the spot to show off to these damn nobles.
In this way, Hawkesli's charge of communicating with foreign countries can be firmly established. If he wasn't guilty and scared, why didn't he cooperate with the investigation and instead raised troops to resist?
Moreover, you can also use the blood of that young man as a stepping stone to show your loyalty to the Prime Minister.
At this time, Hawks did not look at him. Instead, he looked coldly at an officer not far away. That man was the captain of the guard in charge of security in the mansion and was once his trusted subordinate.
This is his commanding office. If his guards hadn't rebelled, it would have been impossible for the military police from the Ministry of Justice to rush in.
The mansion of a nobleman like Hawkes is heavily guarded. A group of spies who are not even police officers cannot break in. If they want to break in, they have to call in the army.
Not to mention appearing directly in his living room without Hawks even being informed.
Under his gaze, the guard captain lowered his head in shame and murmured: "I...I have no choice..."
As he said this, he felt guilty and quietly stepped aside. After all, he shamelessly betrayed his superior.
Hawks was already extremely disappointed at this time. There were traitors even in his own home. What about the entire army? The entire Semitic tribe?
He looked up at the sky angrily, and then let out a long sigh: Does God really want to destroy our Semitic tribe?
At this time, seeing that the danger was over, the military police immediately put away their bows and arrows, and then walked out with Hawks surrounded.
They pushed Hawks onto the carriage. Then they guarded the carriage and ran out quickly.
In just one minute, it had already disappeared into the vast darkness of night.
Everyone in the hall did not speak at this time, and turned their heads one after another, looking at the guard captain with disgust: It was the betrayal of this traitor that made the military police of the Ministry of Justice take away Hawks easily.
The young master who was envoy was almost killed on the spot.
Everyone hated him deeply, even more than the Semitic's number one public enemy, the evil thief Lorraine.
This is also understandable. Lorraine is an upright enemy of the undead and the Semitic people. He fights against the Semitic people with real swords and guns. Whenever everyone mentions this number one public enemy, they always severely condemn him morally and criticize him.
After being criticized and stepped on ten thousand times, I have to admire this man privately.
But the guard captain betrayed Hawkes and betrayed his duty as a guard, which was equivalent to ruining everyone's jobs.
This is a bit too embarrassing.
Seeing this, the guard captain also laughed guiltily. He betrayed Admiral Hawks to the Prime Minister's spy. Now he became the enemy of the family, and the Hawks family would definitely not let him go.
Pass him.
However, if you can catch up with the prime minister, you will be very successful in the future. I haven't seen that all the nobles in the city have been docile and submissive by the prime minister. The guard captain also saw this, and after going through some serious ideological struggle,
This was the decision made.
He exited the hall and closed the door tightly from the outside. Naturally, spies surrounded Hawkes' mansion and put everyone under house arrest in the manor.
At this time, Filar finally broke away from Lufian's arms, angrily climbed up from the ground, with red eyes, shouted loudly: "Sister, why don't you let me rescue grandpa?"
Lufian immediately raised his hand and slapped it, and said sternly: "Shut up~!"
Filar received a sharp crack, which almost blinded him. When he reacted, he immediately felt a burst of burning pain on his face.
He reached out and touched his cheek, and then he became furious and yelled: "You... you crazy woman, what are you doing..."
Lufian ignored him. Instead, he smiled at the servants, showed the bearing of the head of the family, and said calmly: "You all go back and rest first. I will discuss something with my brother."
The servants looked at each other and knew in their hearts: If such a big thing happened, the two of them must seriously discuss how to deal with it. But it was not appropriate for people like themselves to know about this.
Since a close confidant like the captain of the guard can rebel, who knows if there are any traitors among these servants.
Therefore, they bowed one after another and retreated worriedly. At the same time, they secretly prayed in their hearts, hoping that this storm would not affect them.
In the coup two years ago, many nobles were executed, including servants and cooks.
No one knows whether the butcher's knife will suddenly fall on their heads.
The loyal old butler hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed and retreated. After all, the crime of 'treason' was too severe.
This is to confiscate the house and destroy the family.
No matter who you blame it on, you need to think about it carefully.
Even though he didn't believe that his master would do such a thing, he had lived in Arkadelin for so long, had rich experience, and had seen too much bloodshed.
He knew clearly that it was not a matter of whether he believed it or not, but whether the judges believed it or not.
And the most important thing is that those judges were all appointed by Madolins.
My master has been at odds with Madolins for so many years, and yet he openly mocked Madolins for being a villain. This time he must be in trouble.
Thanks to the poor health of the old lady, she went on vacation with the young master and his wife. If the old lady was also in the manor, she would probably have a heart attack on the spot.
While he was thinking randomly, he slowly withdrew and closed the door tightly from the outside.
Seeing this, Filar snorted coldly and shouted angrily: "Lufian, what do you want to say? Grandpa has been arrested, but you still have some leisure..."
As soon as he said this, he saw Lufian bending her waist strangely, and then opened a corner of the curtain, revealing only one eye. She cautiously looked out.
Filar couldn't help but be surprised for a while. His voice also lowered. He walked up to his sister and murmured: "What are you doing...what are you doing?"
Lufian ignored him and kept staring out the window carefully until he was sure there was no movement. Then he glanced at him, then... then turned around and ran towards his room like crazy.
Filar stared at her back blankly, confused for a moment. He murmured: "What's wrong with this bitch?"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Lufian's voice.
She shouted angrily: "Filar, you little idiot, why are you still standing there? Why don't you come over here quickly and wait for me to pull your ears?"
Filar couldn't help but shudder. When fighting at home, he could never beat his sister. Every time he was caught and beaten up, he would go to his parents to complain and was beaten up. Over time, he was afraid of this sister.
Very.
Although Filar didn't know what he was doing, he hurried over.
When I came to Lufian's room, I saw that her room was in a mess.
The fireplace in her room has... been opened like a door, revealing a dark passage behind it.
Filar couldn't help being surprised and stammered: "You...you...you..."
Rufian rolled her eyes disdainfully and said proudly: "What am I? Why do you think I insist on living in this manor? This shabby place is old and small, and there are rats everywhere. What's so good about it?"
Feral suddenly realized, "For... to have a secret meeting with an adulterer..."
Lufian immediately became furious, raised her slender foot and kicked him over.
Filar couldn't help but scream in pain and squatted on the ground, feeling quite aggrieved: This is obviously the same plot as those in those knight novels.
Lufian picked up a pillow and smashed it all over his brother's face, and at the same time cursed loudly: "You idiot, loser, idiot..."
She beat Filar so hard that he couldn't help but beg for mercy, so she threw the pillow aside, put her hands on her hips, and said proudly: "What I did for today is this situation. We are surrounded by spies outside, and they will not let us out.
"
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a candlestick and said, "Follow me."
Then he took the first step and walked into the tunnel.
Filar carefully looked at the tunnel, filled with adventurous curiosity, and then hurriedly followed in.
Filar followed her and walked forward along the tunnel. The tunnel seemed to have been built not long ago and was very rough. There were traces of fresh soil in some places.
Filar walked dizzy for a while in the tunnel, and then he saw a ball of light appearing in front of him.
After emerging from the tunnel, Filar took a closer look and realized that this place was actually a mill not far from his manor.
At first, Rufian thought that the mill was an obstacle to his sight, so he wanted to buy it and bulldoze it. But the owner of the mill was a bastard who refused to accept hard or soft advice. He would not let go of the dignified commander of the Imperial Guard at all.
In my eyes, life and death are not for sale.
Later, Lufian didn't know why, but insisted on having her own way and demolished the mill. As a result, she was sued in court.
As a result, the court ruled that they had to pay a large sum of money and had to renovate the mill.
At that time, some people were very excited about this incident, saying that it was a victory for the Semitic rule of law. Even the commander of the imperial guards could not cover up the sky with one hand and pacify the common people.
A bunch of idiots even wrote an article in some newspaper, praising Prime Minister Malindos for his impartiality and impartiality in enforcing the law. They also talked nonsense about the importance of judicial independence and impartiality.
Anyway, there are a lot of nouns, which makes people feel that although they don’t know what they are talking about, they seem to be very powerful.
Filar felt a little embarrassed at the time. But he never thought that the mill was actually a secret passage in his home~!
He looked through the window at his house not far away, and found that the house was so strange. He suddenly realized that this was not a game, but real life. From this moment on, he was going to die.
The end of the world~!
The novels and dramas he had read all described this kind of life in detail. He had longed for this kind of life in the past, but when he found out that he was really going to live this kind of life, he couldn't help but feel a panic in his heart.
At this moment, I heard a voice from next to me: "Are you here?"
Filar couldn't help but be surprised. There was actually someone here, and it was a man. Could it be said that Lufian really used this tunnel to meet her lover secretly?
He quickly turned his head and looked at the man carefully.
I saw that the other party was about twenty-three or four years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he didn't look handsome, he could still take action.
He couldn't help but hesitate, and didn't know how to address the other person. Could it be that he should be called...brother-in-law?
At this time, Lufian asked nervously: "Are you following?"
The man replied: "I have already followed."
He paused for a moment, then asked softly: "Do you want to do it?"
Although Filar didn't understand what they were talking about, he was extremely sensitive to the ominous meaning. He couldn't help but feel flustered and kept looking at his sister with his eyes.
Lufian gritted her teeth and finally said decisively: "Do it~!"
After saying this, she immediately felt weak. It seemed that these two words were so difficult. Just saying them out took all her strength.
The man nodded, then turned around and walked out of the room holding a slender firework under Filar's surprised gaze.
He came outside, then took out a lighter, first lit the cigarette hanging on his lips, took a long puff, and then he calmly moved the lighter's flame towards the fuse of the fireworks.
The quality of the windproof lighter produced by Nai'an is excellent. Although the wind is freezing, the flame is still beating in the windproof cover without any sign of extinguishing.
The moment the flame came closer, the fuse was ignited, and white smoke came out.
‘Chirp~~’
Amid the sharp sound, a ray of fire slowly rose into the air, followed by a 'pop' sound, exploding in the air, erupting into a brilliant and dazzling light. (To be continued...)
