Chapter 171 Identification
The words pointing out Ronin immediately aroused heated discussions among the nobles, among whom the one with the biggest reaction was his father, Wiggins.
Those who have not experienced the assassination and broken legs cannot understand the depth of Wiggins' hatred for the Skull and Bones Society.
He even opposed Lulans' decision to let Orson attack the Black Gold Brotherhood a while ago.
He felt that only if Wushanbao had sent the Knights to attack the Black Gold Brotherhood could his anger and hatred be calmed.
"Luo Ning, explain clearly the circumstances of your assassination!"
Wiggins asked loudly: "What does this have to do with Lei Sen?"
"Yes, father."
So, Roning told how the shadow assassin tried to assassinate him in the Hillforest Castle, emphasizing the other party's identity as a member of the Skull and Bones Society and the fact that he captured him.
In the end, he took the testimony from his arms. The parchment looked particularly dazzling under the illumination of the magic crystal lamp.
"This is what Shadow the Assassin said."
Roning said: "As long as he kills me successfully, he can go to Baron Leisen to claim the reward of one thousand gold coins. In addition, Baron German..."
On the terrace, Hermann didn't expect Roning to call his name suddenly. He felt nervous because he had nothing to do with these assassinations.
But he immediately thought of the gift that Ronin had mentioned to him before. Could it be?
Thinking of this, Baron German stepped forward and greeted respectfully: "Baron Ronin, is there anything I can help you with?"
"In August, your son and daughter were also assassinated by Pedro of the Skull and Bones Society when they returned to Lake Town from Wushan College, and the mastermind behind this incident was also Lei Sen."
Wow!
This accusation made the nobles even louder in their discussion.
Assassinating nobles is a serious crime. To assassinate nobles repeatedly and even attack the heirs of noble families is adding crime to crime.
In particular, Marina and Malik, the siblings involved, directly began to accuse Leisen;
At the same time, the Dennis family, who were married to the Green family, also began to express their views.
Germann jumped down from the terrace, walked quickly to Ronin, took the parchment, and read it quickly.
He believed that the evidence in Roning's hands was true and reliable; otherwise, he would not have openly pointed the finger in front of so many nobles.
And most importantly, from the beginning to now, the Marquis has not made a single statement, which is a statement.
"Leisen, it's you!"
His fighting spirit surged when he handed the evidence back to Luo Ning, and he punched the other party directly: "I want to duel with you!"
Bang, bang, bang!
German and Leisen started fighting directly, and the clash of bronze-level fighting spirit was more intense than the previous knight competition.
Even though the former had a broken arm, his fighting style was fierce.
"Slander, this is slander!"
Lei Sen panicked because he felt guilty. His response was inadequate, and he soon became disadvantaged.
He could only shout, "We have no hatred against each other; why would I assassinate your son and daughter?"
"No hatred or grudge?"
A punch from Germann shattered the opponent's fighting armor.
"Thirty years ago, during the Battle of Misty City, my father risked his life to bring back the seriously injured Grems, but you claimed that the credit belonged to you, so I have been holding a grudge against you ever since."
Hermann once thought that the hatred between the two families would gradually dissipate with the passing of the previous generation of barons. Indeed, they had no disputes or overt conflicts over the years.
Now, he thought too simply. Lei Sen still holds a grudge against the Green family and has already taken action.
"Yes, Lei Sen, if there is a dispute over military exploits, you can challenge German to a duel. Why use such a despicable assassination method?" Viscount Marvin asked coldly, bowed to Rulans, and said, "For this kind of noble, Lord Marquis, I suggest that his title and territory be immediately deprived and he be sentenced to prison!"
As Marvin pulled Lu Lans in, everyone's discussion quieted down. They wanted to know what the Marquis would say about this matter.
"No hurry."
Lu Lan Si slowly said, "German, put away your anger and let Roning finish the story."
He glanced at Lei Sen again as he spoke and said, "You don't have to be nervous. Wushan Castle will not wrongly accuse any noble."
"Yes, sir!" Germann saluted respectfully to Rulans on the terrace, then stepped aside.
Roning handed the parchment to Breton and said, "Take it up to show Grandpa and the nobles."
"OK."
Breton took the parchment solemnly. He walked and read it, feeling uneasy.
He thought of how he had helped Lei Sen ask Roning for the management rights of the savage tribe some time ago. Could it be that he was assassinated because he didn't get the management rights?
This is too unbelievable. Assassinating a noble and the grandson of a feudal lord, how dare the other party do that?
"The assassin is still imprisoned in the prison of Shanlin Town. I will transfer him to Wushan Fort."
Luo Ning's voice rang out, "Leisen has long regarded me as a thorn in his side and has attempted to kill me more than once."
He snapped his fingers, and Tom, who was on the periphery, came over.
"Tom, you can take off your mask now."
"Yes, sir!"
Tom's voice was trembling. He was nervous and excited to take off his mask on such a grand occasion.
Lei Sen narrowed his eyes. His face was grim, and he didn't say anything. He was in a very dangerous situation now.
But fortunately, it has not been confirmed yet. The murderer is left in Shanlin Town, and it will take at least ten days or half a month to transfer him.
In other words, it will take some time before a conviction is reached, and there is still room for maneuver.
But when Tom took off the mask, his pupils shrank.
"Leisen, do you know this person?"
Lei Sen thought this person was from Shanlin Town but couldn't remember his name.
"Everyone must be curious why I want to bring out such a little knight."
Ronin said loudly: "When I first arrived at Shanlin Town, the political officer Princet and Baron Leisen teamed up to kill me halfway. And he, Tom, was under Princet's command at the time."
Tom knelt on one knee, his left hand on his chest: "My Lords, I was once a knight who went astray. I listened to the words of Prince and Rayson and drew my sword against the true master of Hillwood Town."
He looked at Lei Sen with a firm gaze.
"Now, I hereby declare in the name of the glory of the Knights and the Seven Gods that Baron Leisen openly occupied countless food and resources in Hillwood Town several years ago and also intended to murder Lord Roning to become the true master of Hillwood Town!"
Lei Sen could not escape the charges of assassinating nobles many times and occupying the resources of Wushan Fort for many years. His face suddenly became extremely ugly.
At this time, Sir Toru, the First Knight of Wushan Castle, who had not appeared yet, ran into the square hurriedly from outside.
He knelt on one knee like Tom did, "Sir Marquis, we found this dress in the bedroom of the gold-level assassin named Mondo."
Toru spread the clothes, and a golden skull was embroidered on the left.
