Chapter 123: Fight

Bran pulled out a wooden stick and threw it on the table with a slight click, breaking the silence. The awakened people immediately straightened their sitting postures. With these movements, there was a slight sound of armor rubbing and collision in the hall. This sound once again scared everyone into a panic.
"Then, I have finished the draw for him." Bran glanced at the crowd, "Is there anyone else who needs my help?"
Looking at the people's heads hanging down, Bran said impatiently: "Do you need me to send it to you?"
Under the pressure of death, people got up cautiously, next to each other, and completed the draw in a solemn atmosphere. Then left a few unlucky people at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Looking at these people, Bran said: "Go back and sit down first. I allow you to say goodbye to your family and choose a decent way of dying for yourself, or choose a better tombstone for yourself."
"Thank you, sir."
This sentence of gratitude makes Bran find it interesting, and it turns out that punishment can also be appreciated.
Looking at the few people sitting down in Mu Ran, Bran raised his hand and drew a circle, pointing to the personal attendant who was taken into the hall and was standing still at this moment. Asked: "Is it the same in the past?"
Just now because the draw was over, the somewhat loose atmosphere became more tense. No one dared to answer, and the hall fell silent again.
"It's up to you." Bran turned his head to Dragon Knight again.
Longqi shook his head helplessly: "I don't know, nor have I participated in such discussions. I said that this city has nothing to do with us."
"Oh—I always thought that although you are not a thing, at least you still have some courage. Now even the courage to tell the truth has been lost."
"I just hope that fewer people will die!" Long Qi raised his voice displeased.
Bran was a little surprised and couldn't help taking a closer look at the dragon knight. "It's rare that you still care about the lives and lives of others at this time, as you wish."
Then Bran’s conversation turned, with mockery, "I have always had hope, and I hope everyone sitting here can be a little courageous. I hope you can take your own followers and dare to die. It is a pity that you have the courage to fight to death. nothing.
It's--, I'm so disappointed! "
"Since I don't want to die, then some things can be discussed.
This city is mine now, but I don't bother to care about it, so everything is business as usual. What you should give to the lord in the past, you give me as usual. You send people to Beidi City for the belongings that are in the middle. There should also be regular cleaning.
Those who have died are my spoils. All the weapons and armors on his body were cleaned up and transported to Northland City.
Clean hands and feet, I don't want to play the lottery game with you again. "
Bran said here to pause, waiting for people's reaction. It's a pity that there is no sound below, and it seems a bit cold.
"No one opposes, so I agree. Now, I can talk about my visit this time in detail."
With these words, people subconsciously tighten their bodies.
"Just now, as already mentioned, my caravan was detained. I originally asked the caravan to trade here normally, and didn't even care about the result of the transaction. Then things happened inexplicably.
Since this place belongs to me, there are some things you need to know. Because the royal family and dragon knights are not things, so it caused some small conflicts between us.
When this happened, I was thinking, would it be Dragon Knight? Obviously not. Although Dragon Cavalry is not a thing, but it won't work until a small caravan is vented. Just like I don't know how to vent my breath with a lonely little dragon. "
Speaking, Bran motioned to the dragon knight beside him, looked at the other party without any response, and could only continue speaking boringly.
"So, will it be the royal family? It should not be. The little princess of the royal family just fed the wolf because she lied. I believe they will remember this lesson."
This sentence made people commotion for a moment, but soon quieted down.
"This matter can only be done by everyone present here. The banner of the caravan is Beidi Bran. Although I am only an unknown person in the eyes of everyone, there is after all the word Beidi before the banner. So, for To teach you this group of rubbish, know the word Beidi, I have to run here.
The caravan is still under your detention, I believe you will find out if you go back and investigate. If you dare to cause trouble, naturally you dare to take it.
This city, I will leave it to you to continue to operate. Since there are rules here, I hope you can abide by them, at least when facing me. As a Northlander, I don't have the patience to say anything, and I'm not good at conspiracy calculations, but if it talks about murder, I must have seen everyone.
I have no intention of targeting you, but I don't want to be conspired. "
Speaking of this, Bran stopped talking and left everyone aside, giving them time to think more.
...
In the quiet waiting, the few hapless guys who got the short sticks reacted at this time. During this period of time, they calmed down a bit, and they could have some simple thinking. They saw a glimmer of hope in Bran's words.
One of them said: "My lord, if it can be proved that the caravan has nothing to do with me, can I be exempt from death?"
"How to prove it?"
"They can prove that, and the scope of my jurisdiction has nothing to do with caravans."
"Oh?"
"Really! I swear, I am innocent."
"You know? As a wizard, I have my own way of telling the truth from the fake. Just like now, I know you don't know anything about this. But what? I don't consider whether you are innocent.
Just a few words with you, I can tell who is in collusion with the royal family or Dragon Knight, but I don't want to waste time on you. I don't care if you are innocent, I just need someone to be responsible for the incident.
I even know that this matter has nothing to do with Bacchus, but someone has to die for this matter. After that, whether you retaliate against the culprit or ask me to settle the account, that is already another matter. Because of this matter, I have already dealt with it. "
Seeing the other party's pale face, Bran decided to give him a surprise, a chance to be grateful. So he continued: "However, I like people with courage. Since you can struggle for your own life, then give you a chance and a few others.
Within a month, I hope to see results, real results. Otherwise, not only the few of you, but the others present here, will need to draw lots again for your mistakes and incompetence. "
One party is indeed grateful, but the other party's emotions are a little wrong.
...
After Bran became prosperous, he embarked on the road home happily, but everyone in the sandstone city became busy.
Kerr was still hiding in the back kitchen of the Sword and Shield Tavern, and was teased by several partners. His grandfather rushed in with a nervous look, and, apart from anything else, he said with a big mouth: "Swear, everyone here will be killed by you bastards!"
Kerr looked puzzled, and some were beaten up, "Why hit me!?"
It was the second big mouth that greeted him, and he was yelled at: "You guys will go with me right away! Don't dare, if you don't leave, your life will be lost!"
Kerr looked at the frustrated grandpa, realized the seriousness of the problem, and ran out of the city with him. With the explanation during the march, Kerr and the others were dumbfounded.
"Where is my dad? We're leaving, what will he do?"
"Already run separately."
But his partner quit, what should their family do? Disagreements arose immediately, and several people broke up and rushed to their own homes.
...
Things are well investigated, Bran's caravan is still being detained. The results of the investigation made people look at each other. There was no conspiracy. It was just a few and uninfluenced little officials who provoked people who shouldn't be offended...
The matter is clear, but everyone does not know whether to cry or laugh? But the anger really burned, and they were really killed this time! Let's do it, the people on the court did not hesitate.
However, the objects they cleaned up were also the landlords in Sandstone City, and the news was relatively well-informed. People like Kerr had noticed in advance, put everything down and ran away. Various news spread along with the arrests, although not very detailed, but the outline was pieced together.
So Kerr's friends and friends also disappeared one after another. When it was discovered that someone had escaped, the reward was released.
Arrests! More importantly, to survive! For your own life! When both sides are fighting for their lives, the confrontation becomes a bit tragic.
Everyone has relatives and friends, and when the main culprit is not caught, the eyes will turn to them. Sandstone City, once a military town, the martial arts here is extremely heavy! As the scale of arrests gradually expanded and began to spread to the innocent, dissatisfaction also followed, and the fight expanded uncontrollably.
As the investigation of the incident progressed, the family of the deceased in the city lord’s mansion transferred their anger to Kerr and others, and began to join the hunt. revenge! Revenge for the dead! But it is more about venting the pain and the loss of a loved one.
More and more people were involved, and chaos gradually spread. Some past contradictions were also stimulated and found opportunities to vent. The whole city began to be restless, and when night fell, a fire ignited, and then the fire grew stronger.
