Transcendent Ember

Chapter 597
Nicholas Dynasty, Dalton Province, the estate of Marquis Karl.

A black scarf is hung in front of the manor, which is the custom of the Nicholas dynasty. Hanging a scarf means that someone in the family has passed away.

In front of the manor, there were handfuls of small white flowers, which were spontaneously sent by many farmers when they learned of the death of Marquis Karl.

Marquis Karl was very popular during his lifetime, but...

"Cindy!" A stern voice sounded in front of Marquis Karl's coffin. It was a man with vicissitudes of life. He looked at a young man kneeling in front of the coffin with murderous intent, and scolded, "At this point, You still want to quibble? Do you still have the face to lie in front of Mr. Carl's body?"

Cindy is a skinny young man who looks malnourished. Most of his body is scarred by the followers of Marquis Karl.

Cindy, who was covered in bruises, said with a miserable smile, "Wright, I didn't lie..."

"Cindy!" Another middle-aged lady scolded, "Do you think we are fools? Before Mr. Carl died, no one went to his room except you..."

"Zoya..." Cindy struggled with his tied hands, and argued, "You have to know that many extraordinary abilities can ensure that they will not be captured by surveillance..."

"Cindy, Mr. Carl has treated you well!" An old man said bitterly, "How could you have the heart to do such a thing? You said that Mr. Carl was not killed by you, so why did you flee to Panderby? Why? When we catch you back, we will be ambushed? How do you explain these problems?"

Cindy's complexion changed, but she still pleaded not guilty: "I..."

"Enough!" Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded.

It is the Yellow River.

Wearing mourning clothes, he stayed by the side of the coffin all the time, turning a deaf ear to the quarrel next to him. Until now, he spoke for the first time.

For a moment, the entire mourning hall was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Donghe.

Since Marquis Karl woke up, he has many followers, but no matter how many followers he has, Huang Donghe is always the most special one.

He was born in a peasant family in the Marquis of Karl's territory, and after he became an extraordinary creature, he has been following the Marquis of Karl all the time.

When Marquis Karl was attacked and unconscious, it was Huang Donghe who worked so hard to find a supernatural item to wake him up, and that's how the next thing happened.

Therefore, Huang Donghe has a great reputation among all the followers of Marquis Karl.

Huang Donghe walked to Cindy's side and looked at him expressionlessly. Those dead eyes made Cindy shudder.

"Huang... Brother Huang..." Cindy started, stammering, "I, I really..."

"Cindy." Huang Donghe hissed, "How much did they pay you?"

Cindy's complexion changed, and she hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, you... I don't understand what you said, you..."

Huang Donghe interrupted him: "How much money is it worth for you to betray someone who treats you as your own? Or... In fact, you were theirs from the beginning?"

Cindy's pupils trembled: "No...no, I, I'm not..."

"You still don't recognize it? Then..." Huang Donghe said firmly, "When did you send your mother to Penderby?"

boom!
These words hit Cindy like a thunderbolt, causing his pupils to dilate suddenly.

"Cindy sent his mother to Penderby? Didn't he say that there is no one in their house?" The followers next to him were surprised.

"So he was lying in the first place?"

"Damn it, Mr. Carl was actually deceived by him..."

"Do you want to take his mother back too?"

"It makes sense, bring his mother back and see if he still recognizes her!"

……

"Don't!" Cindy's heart trembled, panicked, he moved his knees to Huang Donghe's side, and begged, "Brother Huang, please, don't hurt my mother, don't..."

"I won't hurt her..." Huang Donghe looked down at the hurried Cindy, "But, I will go to Penderby and ask her personally how she educated you."

Swish!
Cindy's face suddenly turned pale.

His mother was an ordinary woman with simple ideas. He could imagine how much his mother would be shocked and disappointed in himself after knowing this incident.

"Brother Huang..." Cindy looked at Huang Donghe with eyes full of pleading, hoping to get mercy from the other party, but all he saw was a ashen-like face.

At this moment, Cindy suddenly realized that Huang Donghe would definitely do what he said, if he did not confess honestly...

He suddenly lost all his strength, as if his spine had been ripped off, and he collapsed powerlessly, making a bitter voice: "...I said, I said, Mr. Carl... I killed him."

"It really is you!" All the followers in the mourning hall glared at him with cannibalistic eyes.

"A wolf-hearted thing, bah!"

"Kill him and avenge Mr. Carl!"

"Yes, kill him!"

"kill him!"

……

Wright took a step forward, came to the paper-faced Cindy, and asked, "Who asked you to do it?"

Cindy didn't hide any more, and said truthfully: "It's Your Excellency Mobisan."

"Mobisan?" Among the followers, a young female elf exclaimed, she knew this person, and introduced in detail, "Mobisang, the earl, whose fief is in Kazan City, is a powerful nobleman, moreover The important thing is...

"This person is Rose's confidant!"

Rose's confidant... These words instantly changed the colors of the followers.

Wright further interrogated Cindy: "What's going on? How did Mobisang find you? How did you kill Mr. Carl?"

Cindy gave up struggling, took a look at Huang Donghe, and said perfectly: "Your Majesty Mobisang found me last year, before Mr. Karl woke up..."

"So early?" The followers exclaimed, even Huang Donghe was surprised and shocked.

Cindy continued: "At that time, Mr. Carl was attacked and unconscious, but Your Majesty Mobisang knew that Brother Huang, you would definitely find a way to wake him up, so you found me, kindly and powerfully, and asked me to do things for them...

"For my mother's sake, and for that windfall, I was obsessed with ghosts for a while, and I agreed to them..."

Zoya couldn't help but ask, "What did he ask you to do?"

Cindy: "He asked me to be the first to respond to Mr. Carl's call to destroy opium, and cooperate with Mr. Carl to persuade others to also destroy opium, so as to gain Mr. Carl's trust..."

A follower couldn't help saying angrily: "Then let you sneak attack Mr. Carl, right?"

Cindy was silent for a while before continuing: "He gave me a bullet, a bullet with extraordinary power, and asked me to hide beside Mr. Carl. When the time is right, I will find a chance to kill Mr. Carl..."

Zoya continued to ask: "The time is ripe? What do you mean?"

Cindy looked up, looked at Zoya, and looked at all the followers: "What do you mean? Isn't it obvious? It's all of you who came to Mr. Carl's side!

"Whether it is Lord Ross or Lord Maubison, there is no doubt about the will to promote opium, and you are their thorn in the side, the thorn in the flesh, how can they feel at ease if you are not removed?

"Think about it, since they sneaked up on Mr. Carl last time and knocked him unconscious, why didn't they simply kill him?

"Don't you dare?
"No, there is nothing they dare not do! The reason why they don't do it is because Mr. Carl is still alive.

"After Mr. Carl was rescued by Brother Huang, he felt a sense of urgency, so he completely broke with the interest group headed by His Excellency Ross, gave up his gentle style of conduct, and began to drastically destroy the opium in Dalton Province...

"After all this was seen by you people, you thought you had a leader and hope, so you came here from all directions.

"When you all gather here, it's time to eradicate you all in one go!
"And at this point, Mr. Carl is no longer useful..."

……

The mourning hall fell into dead silence, there was no sound, and the drop of a needle could be heard.

Everyone was shocked by Cindy's words. They never expected that all this had been planned since the first time Marquis Karl was attacked and unconscious...

Huang Donghe couldn't accept it even more. He couldn't believe that his act of rescuing Mr. Carl actually sounded the death knell for him himself.

Boom, Boom, Boom! ——

Huang Donghe seemed to have received a huge blow, and stepped back several steps in a disorderly manner.

"Actually, Mr. Carl doesn't have to die..." Cindy shook his head and said, "Your Majesty Mobisang and the others didn't kill him the first time, because they gave him a chance for the sake of fellow nobles, as long as he After waking up, give up the idea of ​​hindering the promotion of opium, and he will not have to die..."

Speaking of this, Cindy looked at Huang Donghe: "Brother Huang, take them away quickly, you have no hope from the beginning.

"The promotion of opium is a national policy formulated by His Majesty himself. Let alone one Mr. Karl, even if there are a hundred Mr. Karl, the outcome will be the same.

"If my guess is correct, the people who will deal with you are about to arrive. Take them out of here quickly, give up the stupid idea of ​​eradicating opium, keep your anonymity, and maybe there is still a chance of survival."

The faces of the people in the mourning hall changed when Cindy said these words. The followers who had defected from all directions showed bewilderment and fear on their faces.

Pairs of eyes looked at Huang Donghe.

Wright: "Brother Huang, what he said seems to make sense, we... where should we go?"

"That's right, Brother Huang, now that Mr. Carl is dead, we only follow your lead. You have to show us the way!"

"Brother Huang, Mr. Carl valued you the most during his lifetime, and we all listen to you."

……

"..." Huang Donghe was at a loss on his tough face.

There were so many thoughts in his mind, wrapped up in a ball, that he couldn't figure it out at all for a while.

And at this moment, with a bang, the gate of Marquis Karl's manor was forcibly pushed open, and a knight led a group of soldiers in.

A cold voice sounded:
"His Majesty Karl died, His Majesty was furious and ordered Ben to investigate the cause in detail!
"Come here, take all of them back to me, and leave no one behind!"
