Chapter 24 Mob Moment
Chapter 24 Mob Moment
Fernando, who was at the gate of the mayor's mansion, was stunned when he heard the words.
It sounds like the housekeeper just shouted, right?
A mob surrounded his mansion?
What's happening here?
Before he could figure it out, a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old stumbled into the mayor's mansion.
This person is Fernando's butler.
After the butler saw Fernando, he stopped in front of him panting, with his hands on his thighs.
"Master... something is wrong... go back and have a look"
Fernando immediately noticed that the butler's nose was bruised and his face was bruised, and his clothes were also covered with dust and torn places, so he asked anxiously, "What happened?"
The butler shook his head, took a deep breath, and said in a panic, "Master, the mob is... besieging our mansion."
"What! What kind of mob is so courageous?!"
Fernando still couldn't believe it.
After all, he has always been secretly controlling the civilians to make trouble. When did the civilians go to his house to make trouble.
But seeing that the butler didn't look like he was lying, he could only turn his head to look at Thanos.
"Mayor, as long as you are willing to send troops to help me, I am willing to pay one hundred gold coins."
At this moment, in his heart, although he vaguely felt that all of this was a conspiracy behind Thanos' back, he also understood that now is not the time to care about these things.
After all, the family is important, so there is no time to take care of these.
But until now, he just thought that the other party was just trying to make him submit, so although he was anxious, he still thought that he could control the situation.
So just offering one hundred gold coins, hoping to get the other party to stop, can be regarded as a kind of subdued performance.
Don't underestimate one hundred gold coins, ordinary people may not earn so much money in their lifetime.
When Thanos heard this, he just shook his head with a smile.
"I'm very sorry. I'm just the mayor of the town, but I can't control these things. You should contact the Colmar police chief."
One hundred gold coins, send for beggars.
When Fernando heard this, he narrowed his eyes, but said unwillingly, "Two hundred gold coins, this is the highest price I can offer."
The other party meant that there was no reconciliation.
This made him very angry, but also more disturbed in his heart.
Thanos still shook his head, and said meaningfully: "Sorry, I advise you to go back early, maybe you can control the situation."
Hearing that the other party rejected his offer again, Fernando knew in his heart that he and the other party were already dead.
It seems that the other party will not want any tax in the future.
Soon, he could only summon the guards outside the house, and then brought the housekeeper back together.
When Sarah and Marco saw this, they just looked at each other, and finally decided to go home first.
After all, there were too many things that happened today, they had to take a good look at them.
At the same time, he was also wavering in his heart, whether he should continue to follow Fernando and offend the new mayor together.
After all, it would be too worthless to risk my own life for that little gold coin.
……
at the same time.
Outside Fernando's mansion, there were four or five hundred civilians holding torches and throwing stones and bricks incessantly.
"Hit the Walkins family! Avenge our loved ones!"
"God damn the Walkins family, the carriage fell at the gate of the city, killing our loved ones!"
"Fernando was corrupt and broke the law. A carriage loaded with millions of gold coins failed to close the gates of the city, resulting in the death of hundreds of people."
Fernando's surname is Walkins, also known as the Walkins family.
The angry people shouted louder and became more and more agitated. If there were not dozens of guards stopping them, they would have rushed directly to the mansion.
But even so, those stones and bricks made the people inside feel uncomfortable at all.
In the mansion, a dozen or so of Fernando's wives and children were anxiously surrounding the hall.
"Woooo... When will the master come back?"
"What the hell happened?"
"Why do some people say that we have millions of gold coins in a carriage?"
"What do these ignorant people know? Let alone a carriage with millions of gold coins, even ten carriages can't hold it."
"Why is our carriage overturned at the gate of the city? Isn't the gate of the city blocked all the time?"
"That's right, isn't the carriage not allowed to move?"
They were very puzzled why the aboriginal invasion at noon would have a relationship with them.
Up to this time, no one knew that a carriage carrying their family's flag fell at the gate of the city at noon.
If you know, you will definitely cry out for injustice.
After ten minutes.
When Fernando rushed home with his guards and housekeeper, he was relieved to find that his house had not been stormed by the mob.
As long as the family is safe, everything can be redeemed, and misunderstandings can also be explained.
Their family didn't have a carriage to go out of the city at noon today, let alone loaded a million gold coins, and it fell at the gate of the city, causing the aborigines to enter the city.
But Fernando didn't know that the god of death was approaching quietly at this moment.
Wilkin, who was hiding in the dark, saw the target finally appear, and nodded to the men in the dark.
One must know that this time, he has put in so much thought and thought to mobilize the common people, and now it is finally time to reap the fruits.
So in the next second, those subordinates immediately shouted.
"Fernando is here! Come on!"
"It's time to avenge your family!"
"Come on, avenge your loved ones!"
"Kill the administrator who embezzled millions of gold coins!"
When the angry crowd heard Fernando's appearance, they rushed over in a panic.
But at this time, most of the people are still rational, and just want to go to ask for an explanation, understand the cause and effect of the matter, and it is best to blackmail a sum of money by the way.
After all, Fernando's reputation in Zixi Town has always been good.
However, the chaotic crowd also gave Wilkin's men a chance to make a move.
When the angry crowd surrounded Fernando and his guards, someone made a decisive move.
A dagger passed through the guards outside, pierced Fernando's chest directly, and pierced his heart.
Fernando's eyes widened, and he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
Isn't this one of Thanos' men?
At this moment, he suddenly understood.
All of this is Thanos' conspiracy, not to make him submit, but to kill him.
At this time, he really wanted to ask the other party, since the two of them had no major life-and-death enmity, why did they want to kill him.
But soon, several more daggers stabbed him, taking his last breath away.
When everyone saw Fernando falling down covered in blood, everyone was stunned and didn't react at all.
But when the steward and the guard also fell in a pool of blood, those who saw them started to panic and wanted to run away.
But there are more people on the periphery who didn't see it and didn't know what happened.
At this time, Wilkin's men continued to shout.
"To avenge my family!"
"Kill corrupt officials! Eliminate harm for the people!"
"Rush into the Volkins house! Take back our gold coins!"
Whether it was the people who wanted to leave or those who were at a loss, driven by hatred, they turned into mobs in an instant and began to rush towards the Walkins mansion.
Facing four or five hundred mobs, more than 20 guards were powerless to resist and were quickly overwhelmed by the crowd.
What happened next, of course, is not much to say.
Several of Fernando's wives, children, and some servants were dragged out by the mob, and then brutally killed.
After seeing the blood, the mob directly set fire to Walkins' mansion, and then took away all the valuables and money that could be seen.
In front of the mayor's mansion.
Thanos watched the moon in the sky slowly being covered by dark clouds, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It looks like it's going to rain tomorrow."
Soon, he was ready to go back with the killed skeleton in one hand.
The characteristic of the undead is that it is not dead.
Even if it is broken, the bone frame can still be used after repairing it.
