Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 405 Continue to Kill
After killing a few minions cleanly, Guo Kang and others quickly occupied the building.

There are no guards in this two-story building, except for a man hiding behind the gate, and only in one room, an accountant was found.This person had heard the commotion outside and was hesitating. When he saw a group of people in bright armor rushing in, he was frightened immediately. He quickly opened the account book on the table and raised his hand to push it aside.

"All heroes, all heroes!" He said incoherently, "I have something to say, and I have something to say. Is there some misunderstanding? The young one is just a person who settles accounts and doesn't know anything..."

After panicking for a while, he saw Father Mikhail in the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Oh, it's Mr. Priest! Look, I didn't even notice you! Are you here to see Father Mikhail?" The Ladimir couple? I understand, I understand, I handled the account books of this matter, and I will take you to find them right away..."

He contradicted himself before and after what he said, while saying that he knew nothing and was innocent; at the same time implying that he knew something and could be used.

But obviously, in his opinion, life is more important.Facing a crowd of strong men with knives, he had absolutely no intention of desperately fighting.

This person's attitude changed so quickly that Father Mikhail didn't react for a while.

Guo Ponu patted Guo Kang again: "Okay, don't you like chatting with people, now it's your turn."

Guo Kang always felt that she was making fun of him, but he had nothing to argue with, so he stepped forward.

He was wearing ordinary armor without any decorations, and he was wrapped in a gray-yellow linen robe, looking more shabby than the people around him.The accountant didn't notice him at first, but when he came out, he realized that he was also a character, and quickly said, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Guo Kang nodded: "Sort out all the books and give them to me."

"Okay, okay." The accountant immediately smiled when he heard his clear request, walked to a closet next to him, opened the door, opened a mezzanine with his hand, took out a book inside, and presented it to Guo Kang with a nod and bow.

"In our area, the entry and exit for more than half a year have all been here." He said.

"All the accounts are here?" Guo Kang took it and flipped through it a few times.

"As long as it goes through the gang, it's guaranteed to be a lot." The cashier nodded immediately: "Of course, there must be some gangsters who secretly extort property and divide it among themselves. I really can't control these things."

"The gang trusts you so much, why don't you take care of everything?" Guo Kang still didn't believe it, and asked.

"They? They're just a bunch of illiterates, they can do nothing. I don't care, who cares." The cashier immediately expressed a strong contempt for gang members.

"Listen to me, sir. I'm also a victim. The leader and the gang members don't take me seriously at all. They laugh at me for not being good at fighting every day when I have nothing to do. Fortunately, I also kept a hand. All the account books I handled, I I kept a file secretly, just waiting for a righteous man like you to bring justice." He flattered skillfully.

"Anglias, you traitor!" A gang member who was tied up next to him yelled: "When you joined us, I thought you were unreliable, but the boss insisted on keeping you, it was really blind !"

"Then you have the ability to settle accounts yourself." The accountant muttered, ignored him, and continued to say to Guo Kang immediately: "You have also seen that I am not in the same heart with these guys, but they forced me to do this. Work. In fact, I have long wanted to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

To be honest, Guo Kang didn't doubt his self-report that he "wanted to betray the water a long time ago", but he was obviously not himself who was going to vote at the beginning.

Thinking about what Guo Ponu said, the reason should be obvious.Most of these gangs will not last long, and many members obviously will not live and die with the gang.Especially for a skilled person like Anglias, of course, he must make plans early.

As for who the newcomer was, he probably didn't bother to care about it. Seeing that Guo Kang and the others had dealt with the gang here in one go, they were powerful, so he immediately took out the things at the bottom of the box to show his loyalty.

"The first few pages are daily expenses and income." The accountant explained to Guo Kang: "In order to avoid being seen by them and causing trouble for myself, I wrote in a special format. Just give me In two days—no, in one day, I can restore all of these. The tribute and trade transactions in our area are all in these records, which will definitely help you understand the local situation."

Guo Kang really needs these data.From this point of view, Anglias' life-saving talisman was well prepared.Although he made a sudden move today, he will have to do business with others later on. By then, these materials will be useful.

After struggling for a moment, Guo Kang still nodded and asked his subordinates to take the account, tie him and the gang just now and take them away.Anyway, he wasn't afraid of Anglias playing tricks, and now the surviving gang member was furious, and when he went back to interrogate, he probably wanted to reveal all the secrets of the accountant.

After fixing the issues here, the finishing touches have been done elsewhere.

Father Mikhail led people upstairs, and after a while, he led several people down.A trembling man at the front, the cell guard, surrendered without any resistance.Behind, besides Father Mikhail and Alexander, there is a middle-aged man and woman, and two thin young men.

"There are still a few upstairs, but they have been abused and can't walk." Father Mikhail sighed: "I let them sit where they are first, and come to treat them after the matter here is over. .”

Guo Kang nodded, came to the corridor, and looked curiously at the stairs.However, at the stairs, there was a strong stench coming from above, which made him frown, and quickly retreated.

"Why is it so dirty?" he muttered.

"There are too many people up here." Anglias was already tied up, and he still insisted on talking to him: "At the most, there were nearly [-] people crowded there. The gang members didn't clean up, and they were eating and drinking. Inside, it's like this."

Guo Kang was speechless for a moment.

Next to him, Alexander was comforting the two young men who had just been rescued.One of the two of them was smiling smirking with joy on his face, while the other still had a look of fear on his face, pulling Alexander to say something.Alexander refused to talk to them, but he just picked up the cross on his chest, held out another hand for them to hold, and then recited the prayer aloud, asking them to recite a sentence after he recited it.

"These two people were just caught and rescued by accident. Their souls are suffering between excessive fright and sudden hope." Father Mikhail whispered to Guo Kang: "My teacher told me I, some of the looted people they rescued, are in this state."

"People with a strong mind can recover quickly. But some people's souls are relatively weak, and they will be hurt when they encounter such a sudden thing. Our experience is that at this time, don't let them think too much, lest the devil take advantage of it. And enter. If someone gets too excited, don’t do anything, immediately lead him to chant the scriptures aloud like this until he calms down. When he calms down, you can ask about other things.”

"What about them?" Guo Kang pointed to the other two.

"That's the Vladimir couple." Father Mikhail replied, "Don't worry about them for the time being... For them, there are more important things than timidity and ecstasy."

After that, he stepped forward and communicated with those two people in his native dialect.

Vladimir's voice is not very vicissitudes, it seems younger than his appearance.Guo Kang thought about the ages of their children, and realized that the two were probably not much older than himself.It's just that the harsh living conditions and difficult circumstances make these people look much older.

Vladimir's wife seemed anxious.But Father Mikhail said a few words to her, and the poor woman nodded, wiped away her tears, and said nothing more.On the other hand, Vladimir seemed a little hesitant, and kept looking at Guo Kang and others.Although he couldn't understand what he said, he could still feel that the current situation was that Father Mikhail asked a question and he answered it.

Guo Kang felt that he couldn't help, so he left here and went outside.

The knight captain told him that everyone was setting up an ambush on two nearby roads.They made a lot of noise just now. These gang members have been based here all year round, so there must be ears and eyes to spread the situation.

Coincidentally, this place seems to be an important location for the gang, and someone must be desperate for help.It would be embarrassing if it was not ambushed.

Moreover, if you go directly now, you will definitely be followed by people.Hit them first to make them more honest.After all, these gang members will not have the same toughness as the regular army.

If they can fight harder, then with the organization and discipline of these people, even if they don't collapse directly, there is a high probability that they will not be able to take active actions for a long time, and they will not be able to interfere with the next actions of their own team. .

Guo Kang thought it made sense and decided to go and have a look at it himself.After hearing this, Guo Ponu didn't object, and pulled him to a garbage dump next to him.

The smell here made Guo Kang frown, but the others didn't care much.A priest with a bow is hiding behind a mountain of garbage, and two knights are looking out behind a pile of firewood opposite.

The nearby residents are very keen. When they saw the fight just now, they rushed away.There is no one in this area, and it is indeed suitable for an ambush.

Guo Kang looked at the garbage mountain, took two steps around, and squatted behind a shack.As a result, Guo Ponu pulled him over and almost fell to the ground.

"It's time to fight life and death, and I'm still trying to find a comfortable place." She pointed to the shack, and reprimanded: "What can a layer of sparse bamboo block? Squat here."

Guo Kang had no choice but to listen to her, but the smell was really too strong, so he had to take out the cloth that wrapped the flag before, tied it around his face, and covered his mouth and nose.Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it can be regarded as comforting myself.

He originally wanted to draw his sword, but after thinking about what he had done just now, he was a little suspicious of himself.Seeing Guo Ponu put two bows beside her, he said to her, "Give me this."

"Why don't you bring it yourself?" Guo Ponu was quite speechless.

"I brought these—" Guo Kang lifted his coat, revealing two pistols: "But these are reserved for critical times, and it always feels like a waste to fight these little thieves. It takes a long time to pretend..."

"Then you take this." Guo Ponu handed him the longer one: "Take the arrow yourself."

Guo Kang pulled it down and found that the bow was harder than he thought, but he had no choice but to accept it.

He felt that in this environment, facing enemies with little armor, that kind of soft bow was better.But Guo Ponu probably thought so too, so he kept it for himself.I guess he was still afraid of wasting his chance.

Thinking about it, he could only settle these things, and then found that he had nothing else to do.Simply close your eyes and rest your mind, waiting for the next battle.
