Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 11 Recruiting a Knight Family

The man and woman were dragged out of the windmill in disheveled condition. It is self-evident what happened to them.

Su Li felt that if he didn't speak up and let Knight Frederick continue to whip them, the two men would be beaten to death on the spot.

So Su Li raised his hand to stop Frederick's rage and said, "Knight Frederick, please stop for a moment. I don't think this matter is that simple. Aren't you curious why Gerjil appeared around the signboard? He knew that his wife was having an affair with your son in the windmill."

Even if he is a cuckold and doesn't care about this kind of thing, he should hide aside and peek instead of running away several miles away.

Frederick paused upon hearing this, looked at Gergeir, pointed his whip at him, and asked, "I'll give you a chance to live. Tell me what's going on, and don't try to test my patience with lies!"

Gergiel quickly wailed in response: "Master Frederick, I, I am innocent. I will report Henry for raping my wife."

"Rape!" Frederick's rage soared. "You bastard, how dare you lie to me! If it was true, why didn't you stop it? Instead, why did you run so far away?"

Gergiel quickly argued, "Henry is a knight. How could I dare to step forward to stop his violence? He would beat me to death. I can only make it public and ask others to help me seek justice."

Frederick turned to look at Henry, suppressed his anger and asked: "What do you say, you bastard?"

Henry was well aware of his father's cruelty. If he was really convicted of rape, he would definitely clean up the mess himself and maintain the family's honor.

So he quickly looked at Gjir and shouted angrily, "Nonsense, Alisa and I are in love. It's obviously you who is trying to blackmail me for 250 gold coins!"

Is blackmail involved?

Frederick wanted to beat these three bastards to death immediately. He didn't dare to think about how others would laugh at him if Young Master Su Li hadn't intervened and the matter became a hot topic throughout the city.

Fortunately, the incident did not become a big deal. Frederick was able to uphold justice. Finally, he pointed his whip at Alisa and asked, "Tell me, which of them is telling the truth?"

Alice's attitude will determine the life and death of both people.

Alisa endured the pain and turned to look at Henry, who was dressed in extravagant and colorful clothes like a proud rooster. Then she looked at her husband, who was plain, gloomy and tough. After hesitating for a few seconds, she lowered her head and replied, "Henry forced me to do it."

Henry immediately widened his eyes and struggled violently. He stepped forward and grabbed Alyssa's shoulders, shaking her body excitedly: "Alyssa! Alyssa! Don't be afraid that he will abuse you again, tell the truth! Didn't you say that he often abused you, so he fell in love with me?"

"Have you forgotten the bruises and scars you showed me? He abused you, why are you still defending him?"

Su Li laughed in amazement. This was an interesting matter. He had to intervene: "Alissa, it's very easy to verify whether you have been abused. Just ask your neighbors and you will know."

Alisa hesitated for a moment, but still insisted on her original attitude: "Gergil did abuse me, but it does not affect the fact that Henry forced me."

Henry was completely desperate. He roared angrily, "Bitch, so you've been trying to trick me from the beginning! This was a despicable trap you set from the beginning! How am I inferior to him?"

Alisa was silent, but she obviously had no intention of divorcing Gejier.

Su Li asked suspiciously, "He abuses you, and you don't divorce me. I can only think of one possibility. Is he...strong in that aspect?"

Alisa looked at Gajir and didn't nod, but she didn't argue either. The result was obvious. After all, facts like this are incredibly difficult to untangle, to determine right from wrong. Putting on clothes is domestic violence, but taking them off might just be a matter of pleasure.

Henry was the only clown! It was bad enough that his intelligence was played with, but his manly assets were also trampled underfoot.

Although Gejier and Alisa were suspected of being a honey trap, the two of them had the same story, so Henry's guilt was clear!
Su Li looked at Henry like a defeated dog, suppressed the urge to sneer, shook his head regretfully, looked at Knight Frederick, and asked: "Knight Frederick, how do you want to solve this?"

Knight Frederick immediately raised his whip and lashed it down, going three-quarters into Henry's body. He was beaten to a bloody pulp and several ribs on the left side of his chest were broken. If he didn't get treatment, he would bleed to death in a few minutes.

Just when Su Li thought the matter was over, Knight Frederick suddenly rushed at Gejier and Alisa like a beast, punching wildly. In an instant, the two were hit and flew out like a kite with a broken string. The thick tree trunk behind Gejier broke under the impact with a sharp and crisp sound!

Su Li's eyes widened instantly. This was the first time since he'd traveled through time that he'd witnessed the full force of an elite knight's attack. Time seemed to stand still. The two civilians, facing this immense force, had their bones practically shattered, their bodies pierced through, blood splattering in a scene of unparalleled tragedy.

Su Li's idea was still too naive. He continued the thinking of his previous life and ignored the fact that this world was completely different. Conviction did not require so much evidence. As long as the Knight believed that the person was guilty, he could start a killing spree.

In the past, honey traps may have been completely unsolvable, especially since female fighters could withdraw their sexual consent, so it was difficult for those who were falsely accused to overturn the charges.

But in this world, as long as the Knight decides that you are a trap, he can easily hang both of you!
Seeing the angry Frederick hang the bodies of the three people on the tree with ropes, and then angrily whip their corpses, Su Li finally recovered from the shock and immediately sent Knight Schwartz to stop him.

"Knight Frederick, are you so radical that you don't care about the consequences?"

"What's the result?" Frederick was so furious that he couldn't listen at all. "Such trash, such despicable bastards, even in court, I would sentence them all to death by hanging."

"But... you are no longer the judge in court." Su Li reminded him, "You must be aware of the consequences of beating someone to death, right?"

"The result? Just compensation is enough! A knight who killed a serf only needs to pay his master a donkey or four sheep." Knight Frederick was still furious. He listened to Su Li's voice and couldn't help but glared at him. If he dared to nag again, he wouldn't mind teaching this self-righteous apprentice knight a lesson.

Su Li said calmly, "First, Gejier and Alisa are not serfs. They are both freemen, so the compensation amount should be higher than that of serfs. Secondly, Henry is an apprentice knight. His life does not belong only to your family. He is also a member of Bauhinia Castle. Imagine what would happen if an outsider killed a knight of Bauhinia Castle? It might even trigger a war."

"The family has lost an apprentice knight. Do you think the court will hold you accountable and impose a heavy fine? Most importantly, will they uncover the hidden truth?"

Frederick calmed down immediately after hearing this. Although the apprentice knights were of low status, to the nobles, they were their serfs. If ordinary farmers lost their serfs, they would hold the knights responsible. How could they not hold the nobles accountable for the loss of their precious wealth?
Once the truth is uncovered, it will be difficult to conceal. After all, there are three apprentice knights and one elite knight who witnessed the entire incident! He and his family will be disgraced!
Frederick took a deep breath, stared at Su Li intently, and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Su Li said calmly, "The solution is very simple. As long as they don't belong to the family and have a master who is willing not to pursue the matter, then everything can be covered up. As you know, Knight Frederick, I have the right to recruit 30 servants, and Alisa and Gejier are both within this scope."

"But what about Henry? He is an apprentice knight and is not included in the conscription." Frederick asked with a frown.

But Su Li did not respond to this question at all. Instead, he stared at Frederick and spoke calmly, saying: "If I were the judge of the court, then it would be reasonable to try them."

Frederick reacted immediately. Although Henry was not in this range, if the entire Hohenzollern family joined Young Master Su Li's pioneering territory, then Henry would also be a member of the pioneering territory!

He was silent for a moment, then finally knelt on one knee before Su Li and solemnly swore, "Master Su Li, I, Frederick Hohensolden, along with my family's official knight, my son William Hohensolden, my daughter Sophie Hohensolden, an official knight, and apprentice knight Henry, swear to offer our loyalty to you. We will always be your loyal guards. Also, please allow me to take the liberty of recommending myself to serve as the judge of your pioneering territory."
