Chapter 28 Thompson just arrived (please read and collect)
It was because the soldiers knew that Alphonse was a complete libertine who only had fun and drank all day long. He was far worse than the original Baron, so they dared to gather a crowd to go to the Lord's Mansion to question him. .
Alphonse won an honorary duel and showed his strength, but it was not enough to change his bad impression in the minds of the soldiers.
It's just that it's not salary time yet, so I have to stay at least until that day to see what the situation is.
"No one is willing to leave if I ask you to leave, right?" Alphonse sneered again and again, "Who was the first to ask me for evidence just now? Stand up for me!"
The soldiers had complicated expressions, but it could be seen that they were unwilling to betray their colleagues.
But they don't want to be evil people, but someone will do it.
Captain Simon shouted angrily, "Nick, stand up!"
We practiced together every day, and Captain Simon was very familiar with the soldiers. He already knew who they were just by their voices.
A soldier from the crowd reluctantly came out.
Alphonse said coldly, "I don't care why you incited the soldiers to cause trouble, the Cold Wind Territory doesn't need people like you, get out of my territory!"
The soldier named Nick blushed, squeezing his neck and defending, "I'm just thinking about the future of my brothers, you can't fire me like this! What I said is right, the Lord's Mansion does owe a huge debt, Master, you said you have a solution, at least let us see the evidence so that we can serve you with peace of mind. Even if the Baron is still alive, he will not let me get out because of this matter!"
The soldiers made no noise this time, just whispering, and the content was nothing more than that the old baron was much kinder and would not give such an order.
Alphonse heard this and felt extremely unhappy. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Mia's voice.
"I got your salary for this month."
"Boom!" There was a sound.
A large cloth bag was thrown to the ground. The mouth of the bag was open. It was full of silver coins, with some gold coins mixed in, but the color was not very bright.
"It's not the day to pay the salary yet, but since you have questions, I will pay it to you in advance today. The young master is right. The debt of the Lord's Mansion has been solved, and we will not be short of military expenses in the future." Mia said to the soldiers.
With real money and silver placed in front of them, no one had any questions and everyone became quiet.
The expression on Nick's face changed, as if he had opened a dyeing room, turning blue and white. He knelt down on one knee in front of Alphonse and lowered his head.
"Master, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept the punishment. Please forgive me for my sin!"
Alphonse's face was cold and indifferent, "What I said will not change. Get out of the Cold Wind Territory within today."
When the soldiers saw their colleagues being fired, they couldn't help but feel the sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox dying. There was sympathy in their eyes, but no one dared to intercede for Nick.
Just at this moment, a person rushed over.
Here comes Thompson, another guard captain.
As soon as he arrived in front of Alphonse, the panting Thompson stood at attention and stamped his feet. He made a fist with his right arm and raised it to his chest. He paused and performed a knight's salute.
"Master, I'm sorry, I'm late!"
After saying that, he turned around and cursed at the soldiers gathered in front of the castle courtyard, "Are you trying to start a rebellion? I was just sick and didn't go to the military camp and I didn't keep an eye on you, so you dare to come to the lord's mansion to cause trouble?" You all have to accept the punishment later! Go back to the military camp immediately!"
His order was very effective, and the soldiers immediately started moving and ran towards the military camp.
Thompson then kicked Nick, who was ashen-faced, causing him to stagger and fall down. "Why are you still kneeling here? Why don't you go back to the military camp quickly?"
"Wait a minute, he incited the soldiers to cause trouble. I have already issued an order to expel him from the Cold Wind Territory." Alphonse interrupted.
I can’t believe that Thompson, an old thief, didn’t know about this. It was such a coincidence that he happened to be sick today and the soldiers came to cause trouble? How could it be such a coincidence that he came to stop him at this time?
Thompson turned around and put on a flattering smile, "Master, Nick has been fighting all the way with the Baron. When we fought all the way from the southern front to the Royal Capital, he also had a share of the credit. Can you forgive me? This time?"
"This is not the reason why he made a mistake!" Alphonse said coldly.
"You cannot question the young master's order, let him go." Mia echoed.
Thompson kicked Nick again, "You heard it, why don't you get out!"
While his back was turned to Alphonse, Mia and the others, he gave Nick a wink quietly.
Nick saw this and left dejectedly without begging.
According to Alphonse's guess, this Nick is most likely a close confidant of Thompson. They have staged a bitter plot, and they will definitely be involved in the future.
"Captain Thompson, are you sick?"
"Yes. Since yesterday afternoon, I have been feeling sore all over my body and my head hurts. I also told Captain Simon about this. I can only ask him to help me with today's training."
It seemed that Thompson's face was indeed a bit pale, and even his lips had lost their rosy color.
It looks pretty fake.
There is nothing to criticize about his behavior.
Now is not the time to touch him, just wait for him to jump around for a while.
Alphonse showed a kind smile, "Then you have to go back and have a good rest. Let Captain Simon take care of the guard's affairs."
"Thank you for your concern, young master. I still have to go to the military camp. What they caused today cannot be ignored. I must punish them well."
"then you go."
After sending Thompson away, Alphonse looked at Simon and asked, "Are those soldiers who just came to make trouble all Thompson's soldiers?"
Alphonse was not completely suspicious of Captain Simon. After all, his ability to lead troops was too weak. As the captain of the guard, he could not control his soldiers. How could he not make people suspicious.
Could it be that he and Thompson are actually on the same team? Just showing loyalty in front of yourself?
Hearing Alphonse's question, Captain Simon quickly replied, "They are all soldiers of the Thompson Guards. He is in charge of the spearmen, and I am in charge of the shield-bearers. I can still restrain my subordinates. They are still practicing in the military camp."
"Yeah." Alphonse nodded.
Pointing to the big bag on the ground, "Then Captain Simon, I'll ask you to pay the soldiers' salaries. You can go back to the military camp first."
"Yes!" Captain Simon immediately directed the soldiers following him to tie up the bags containing the coins and carry them away.
Captain Simon's answer could not completely dispel Alphonse's suspicion.
I thought he was loyal, but today's farce made Alphonse suspicious of him.
