Chapter 117 Unreasonable

No matter how busy a place is, there will always be a quiet corner.

As the patrol team's footsteps gradually faded away.

A stealthy figure arrived in front of a house almost on time.

The house is located slightly outside the entire village, which means that the owner of the house is not a high-ranking official.

At least not on the surface.

"Irelia is coming soon, but Elder Ai's men have all been arrested, and even he himself will probably be taken into custody immediately.

"The other old guys who had previously agreed to cooperate with us chose to sit on the sidelines and watch the fire... and those soldiers were like crazy searching for spies everywhere. We can't do anything now!"

The sneaky figure whispered, "Damn it Carlo, that lame bastard deserves to die with his grandson."

"Are you anxious?" A voice came from inside the window. It sounded a little young, but very steady.

"How can we not be anxious? Our situation is not optimistic now..." The sneaky figure hunched over, trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible. "All the arrangements made in the early stage have been wasted. Now that Elder Ai's formation has been dismantled, what else can we do?

"We agreed before that we would use a formation to isolate a separate space, and then kill Irelia in front of everyone. After the fact, the others would have no choice but to cater to us. But now that we don't have the formation, how can we isolate them?

"Don't even think about whether those fence-sitters will stop us. Let's just talk about those reckless rebels. They might have already come in. How could they, who aren't even afraid of death, let us execute Irelia in front of them?

"That old man may have caught a spy, but who doesn't know who he's on? He's just deliberately making things worse!

"I suspect he has secretly defected to Irelia. Just like what that gentleman said, Irelia's capture this time was a conspiracy.

"We are calculating against them, and they are also calculating against us. Now the situation has been reversed. If we do not take action, we will be handing over the fruits of so many years to others!

"Think about what will happen to us if Irelia takes the throne. She won't let us go, she won't!"

It seemed that the guards were getting farther and farther away.

The voice of the figure gradually became louder.

But this deliberateness only highlights a kind of cowardice.

He is afraid.

He was afraid of Irelia's rise to power, and even more afraid that he would have to pay the price for his actions.

It has been said that a criminal only feels remorse at two times.

One is when he is captured;

One was during the execution.

Reflection and repentance at other times seem more like a half-hearted performance.

And now, this figure is very thoughtful.

"The formation was only dismantled, not gone. The materials are readily available, so we can just relocate it... As for the rebels and patrolling soldiers, are they that difficult to deal with? It's just a matter of killing a few more people. If they want to jump into the fire pit, let them go."

The voice inside the window was still calm.

He didn't seem to care what would happen to him if he failed.

"How should we arrange it? Right now, there are patrols led by old man Carlo outside. You know who we've recruited over the years? As long as we can make them see the benefits and ignore the dangers, who wouldn't want to take a bite?"

"Why don't we just let them see another benefit?" A low voice came from the room. "Struggle is like this. It's either you die or I live. If you want to survive to the end, you must be ready to sacrifice others at any time..."

"Another benefit? Sacrifice others at any time?" The figure was stunned for a moment and failed to understand the two meanings at first.

"For example, catching a spy who has become an elder... Aren't we worried about how to convict Irelia? She certainly didn't commit any crime, but what if someone under her command did?"

The dark voice had a smile on its face, and he pushed open the window, exposing his face to the air.

"You know, people like to see someone who is high up fall down. It makes them feel happy from the bottom of their hearts."

"boom!"

Almost as soon as the words fell.

There was a sound of dense footsteps in the darkness, and a large group of patrolling soldiers suddenly appeared in a place where there should be no one.

One of the soldiers shouted, "Stop, you are surrounded by us!"

"!?"

The sneaky elder finally reacted.

The person who was sacrificed turned out to be himself?

Years of being in a high position had dulled his sense of danger.

When the figures of the soldiers around him became clearly visible, he finally remembered what he was going to do.

He slammed the wooden door with such force that it cracked.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Damn spy!"

As long as he killed the young man first, who would dare to frame an elder without any evidence?

But just as he was trying to catch the culprit, the strange and young face appeared in front of him.

The young man jumped out of the window.

In his hand was a piece of metal that he had taken out from somewhere.

In a trance, the elder saw a familiar emblem on it.

The young man's face was filled with fear. He ignored the fists that kept falling on him. Instead, he took the initiative to grab the sneaky elder and shouted in a voice that everyone could hear:

"It's over, they've discovered us! Run away, and don't admit you have anything to do with us. Kill me now, I can handle this alone, we can't lose any more people!"

"you......"

The elder's eyes were bloodshot.

He tried to cover the young man's mouth with his hand.

But the young man gave him a strange smile at that moment, then took out a dagger and stabbed it into his own heart.

'puff......'

The young man fell to the ground.

There was still an expression of unwillingness on his face when he died.

At this time, the patrolling guards arrived nearby. When they looked at the sneaky figure, they almost showed surprised expressions at the same time.

But this surprise turned into another strange emotion in an instant.

I, captured an elder?

Could the elders who are usually high and mighty also become sinners?

If I capture the Elder, can I replace him?

As one thought after another arose, the guards' actions gradually became rougher.

Several of them rushed forward and held down the elder's arms and shoulders.

There was still some anger on the latter's face, but facing such guards, he knew he could not resist.

Once you resist, it means that your "guilt" has been completely confirmed.

But he seemed to have overlooked one thing...

Is it really necessary to prove a person’s guilt?

Chapter 118 Public opinion wins gold

"Something happened!"

Carlo, who had been out for not long, ran back.

The old man didn't have time to regulate his breathing and hurriedly told Ryan what happened outside.

The cause was the arrest of spies.

This is not a big deal.

After all, eight out of ten soldiers are now looking for spies.

But the spies who were caught were either good-looking women or good-looking men...

This should have been a farce.

But a stone suddenly fell into the pond, making the subsequent capture a bit "magical".

Almost two or three hundred people surrounded an elder, all claiming to have captured him.

And as the arresting team moved forward, more and more elders were captured.

This group of people is like a snowball, constantly sweeping up the surrounding snow as it rolls, making itself more and more numerous.

In order to prevent further chaos, Carlo had to withdraw some of the forces responsible for maintaining public order.

After finally sending that group of people and the criminal elder to the office of the chief elder, those who had made great contributions to the arrest reluctantly let go.

But Carlo looked at the group of people and they had no intention of doing anything else. They all gathered at the door and refused to leave no matter what.

Due to the large number of people, they were unable to drive them away for the time being, so they could only hurriedly invite other elders to come and conduct an on-site trial of the spies.

Of course...the main participants in the trial are the Great Elder and Carlo, who is temporarily in charge of the overall situation.

Although the other elders were present, they all kept their heads down in silence, as if they had left their brains and mouths at home.

As for the trial process...

"There's almost no trial!" Carlo spread his hands and said angrily, "The Great Elder and I haven't even started yet, and there's a commotion outside. The soldiers outside are all shouting that they saw with their own eyes the elders colluding with spies.

"According to them, although this elder killed his colleagues with his own hands to avoid suspicion, the metal seal on his body engraved with the Zan family crest cannot deceive anyone. This is something only the old rebels have.

"Then, evidence after evidence was uncovered. That elder had done a lot of things over the years. If he had actually done half of them, the best outcome for him would have been a death sentence.

"But that's exactly where the problem lies. The soldiers outside believe that even though Irelia didn't commit these crimes herself, there's no guarantee that she might have been behind these crimes...

"These damn bastards, I've never realized they're so greedy before! Fortunately, the Great Elder finally stood up, and now I have a chance to breathe."

After saying a lot of words in one breath, Carlo stopped for a while to catch his breath.

Ryan pondered this new information. "So they mobilized the masses?"

Carlo nodded. He thought Ryan's summary was very insightful.

"Yes, they've rounded up all those rotten things, and now it's either you offend everyone or you get your way."

Carlo had a headache.

Because the opponent's move of cutting off the source of their support directly forced them into an extremely unfavorable position.

The first to be hit is Irelia.

She was originally innocent, but now she is suffering from the criticism of others.

When everyone thinks she is guilty, she has to be guilty even if she is innocent.

More importantly, this false accusation is an infringement on Irelia's reputation.

If most people believe this statement, then the effect of Irelia's "comeback" will be greatly reduced.

The purpose of Ku Shuo is to turn Irelia into Ai Mazi.

Ryan had to admit that he hadn't thought of this before.

The main reason was that he didn't expect that the quality of the so-called members in the Navoli Brotherhood's headquarters was not much higher than that outside.

How stupid and disorderly must one be to rush forward to grab the credit without any logic or shame at a time like this?

At the same time, he, Irelia, and even Zed all underestimated Master Kusho.

When everyone thought that the other party was going to fight for leadership through a "duel", the other party actually turned this traditional method into a "political struggle".

He wanted to destroy Irelia's reputation before destroying her.

Therefore, there was something wrong with the original plan of the three of them.

Fortunately, I took the initiative to sneak in first.

If only we had gone according to plan.

The probability is that you will fall into the other party's trap.
