Chapter [*] Fujimaru Tachibana's Sao Operation

Crossing the street and entering the mansion, what appeared in front of everyone was a guest room guarded by guards. Perhaps it was not long before I remembered the face of Fujimaru Tachibana. let go.

"...Your name is Fujimaru Tachibana."

Seeing everyone walking into the house, Hopkins looked at Fujimaru Tachibana who was walking in front.

"No matter how many times you plead, I will not release the suspicious person. If it is innocent, the suspicion will be washed away sooner or later. You better not come and cause me trouble. Besides, you are not even a villager, there are too many actors in mere mere fact. Mind your own business. Or...is this going to do you any harm?"

"Totally aggressive..."

"Senior...is it really okay to come to see him so openly?"

"There is no way to observe..."

"Anyway, talk to him more. Find a way to get him to take out that prop."

"Ugh... Got it."

"I reject."

Even if they lowered their voices, the three people's conversations could not escape Hopkins' ears in this small space.

"No matter how many times you beg me, my answer won't change. That's valuable evidence."

"I think so too."

Fujimaru Tachibana sighed, then looked at Xia Heng next to him.

"Why are you so obsessed with this, Nulu has already admitted that it was an item she made by herself."

Looking at Fujimaru Tachibana who came here again, Hopkins asked in a flat tone.

"This...this...but, even so one by one"

"Although I was prepared to accompany them for a free trip, but, according to your tone."

Xia Heng raised his hand to interrupt Matthew's words, stared at Hopkins and said.

"Are you planning to conduct the witch trial directly in this village?"

"If that female Nulu is indeed a witch, I have the right to issue an order."

"But I think this case needs to be referred to the Governor of Massachusetts, rather than a local judge. Even if I don't mention it, Mr. Carter will probably do the same. So what are you going to do, first kill and then file."

Looking at the plain old judge, Xia Heng raised an eyebrow and provocatively said.

"I don't care whether you have a brain problem recently because of your aging knees or a bad waist. In short, even if you plan to kill first, you must be responsible for the health of the suspect, instead of relying on harsh environments to make a move. Maybe I should doubt it. Do you have a work ethic, but I'm afraid you don't have such a thing."

"Enough said, shut up!"

"How dare you be so disrespectful to Your Excellency the judge!"

"Wait a minute, they didn't come here for violence, right?"

Hopkins stopped the guards who were going to rush forward and looked at Xia Heng.

"You're not from that drama brigade, young man. I heard that you're a traveling merchant, so what about your goods?"

"I don't think the inhabitants of such a clean place need expensive spices or luxuries. Do you expect them to wear silk? Or do you need it and want to be generous? Covetousness is the original sin, Mr. Judge. ."

Xia Heng did not show weakness, but glanced at the surrounding decorations that were very different from the poor living of the people in the village, and said meaningfully.

"As for the carriage, I stopped by Mr. Carter's house. Are you planning to send someone to check it?"

"...No need."

"Also, about the name Hopkins, I seem to have heard of it in other places. You seem to have been brilliant in witch hunts, right? And..."

"—I've heard of such a thing. Thief gangs visit towns disguised as traveling theater groups. It's really the most appropriate outfit for outlanders who want to infiltrate the city. The cunning clown captures the hearts of children, Cunning dancing girls deceive good men, use uproarious satire to confuse the townspeople, and then take advantage of the chaos to commit robbery."

Hopkins interrupted Xia Heng's words, but the expression on his face still didn't seem to change much.

"Sometimes even arson and looting. In the end, it will disappear like smoke. And in the meantime, I occasionally wonder if they will find someone to pretend to be another role, drive a carriage, and increase the Credibility, and more money will be taken away.”

"Addictive..."

Hearing this, Xia Heng showed a sarcastic look.

After all, arson and robbery are the common methods used by Hopkins when hunting witches.

"They won't go back to town again, and they don't care if they leave evidence. What a crude and superficial approach. These people are incapable of performing the noble tragedies and depictions of human anguish that I've seen at the Globe Theatre in Pylon. comedy."

Speaking of this, the corners of Hopkins's mouth hidden under his beard twitched, and he even let out a deliberate laugh.

?? A request for flowers...

"That's right, dramas like King Lear and the Merchant of Venice that can move people deeply, they can't do it anyway! Hahahahahaha!"

"Hao Li, I will never forgive Shakespeare lightly."

Hearing the opponent's provocation and the two dramas, Fujimaru Tachibana laughed in anger.

"Please wait, we can swear to follow the rules of Salem and never disturb the rules!"

Seeing that there was a big disagreement between the two beside him, he meant to open Hopkins's head here first, and Matthew quickly stood up and said.

"Oh, I see."

Even so, Hopkins doesn't seem to be about to let it go.

"I sent messengers to Boston looking for insiders—but no one seemed to have heard of the troupe called Fujimaru Tachibana. Of course, that's just a small problem. But Massachusetts can't forget John? The Goodwin Witch Trial."

0 ....

"In that incident, four children also had strange symptoms. The cause was, as expected, an old witch. Besides, demons often use women, so what is the basis for judging that this is not the case with the female slave. So I Will be on the highest alert for this Salem."

"The witch already exists - the devil is already here! It's not necessarily what it looks like on the outside!"

"Devils only often use women, and it doesn't mean that they don't use men. What basis do you have to prove that you are not someone who was bewitched by demons? Even if there is a formal letter of appointment, it is impossible to guarantee that they used some means or imitated one. share."

Seeing Hopkins' excitement, Xia Heng sneered.

"...If you are really friends, then it doesn't matter. Fujimaru Tachibana, I ask you to perform a play tonight, the theme is up to me, and as many villagers as possible should be called to the public meeting. Don. If your performances fail to impress the hearts of the audience, I will arrest you as thieves with fake identities and conduct a careful investigation."

Hopkins was silent for a moment, stared at the three and said.

"And this man, he's going to stay in the dungeon until your show is over, and I have the right to suspect that he has bad intentions. If you are really friends, then for his safety, you will perform with all your strength."

"If you speak so rudely to the judge, you are lucky if you don't get punished. And if you perform well, maybe it will change the jury's mind at the trial." On.

The first thousand three hundred and fifty-two chapters of the female spy in the shady

"Go in - you can only go in two at most... ah you bastard, stop for me!"

The guard standing outside the cell watched Fujimaru Tachibana and Mash walk into it, and was about to stop Robin Hood who wanted to go in together, but was stabbed by the other side.

"Don't be so rigid."

Robin Hood fooled away from the guard with a haha, while looking at Xia Heng sitting in the dark cell.

"However, you were really locked in. I thought you were the kind of person who wouldn't accept being a prisoner no matter what."

"Coming in voluntarily is not the same as being forced to come in. And the hours wasted here have made things a little bit certain, and if expected, Tituba's cell is empty."

Xia Heng patted the unstained white robe, stood up and said.

"Also, the other cells are probably the same." "[*]"

"I'll take a look at them one by one."

Without waiting for the guards to shout, Robin Hood shuttled through the dungeon, frowning to confirm the situation in each cell.

"...That's weird, there should be a few prisoners here. Hey, where's Tituba?"

Even the faint glow of the torches in the hallway was enough to confirm that no one else was here.And the guard who was under the eyes of everyone didn't even look at it, he said.

"I don't need to answer you. Now that the man has been taken back, you should go out quickly."

"About an hour ago, some voices came from Tituba's cell, and then she was taken out. In addition, several other prisoners were also taken out." Xia Heng glanced. Glancing at the guard standing at the corner, he said.

"In other words, I saw that you moved your hands when you were performing."

"I don't have to tell nobody to wait one by one"

"No, you have to answer me accurately. I should have that right."

At this moment, Carter appeared with Abigail, who came after the performance, stared at the guard and questioned.

"Well, Mr. Carter, how are you..."

"Where did Tituba take you?"

"...was taken to the hills. That was Judge Hopkins' order."

Seeing that both Carter and Abigail were so pressing, the guard had to answer, and after hearing the truth, Abigail was taken aback.

"...Going to the hills?!"

"The hills are...?"

"It's a hilly area on the north side of the village, where it was used as a place for criminals to be executed."

While explaining to the unknowing Fujimaru Tachibana and the others, Carter pressed the guard with her eyes.

"The verdict has been handed down. Tituba's guilt is beyond doubt."

And the guard simply told the truth.

"Have you figured it out from the beginning?"

"Your Majesty is all to prevent the spread of demon power. Obstruction will be directly regarded as complicity by the authorities. Are you planning to protect demons!?"

"Calm down. I have to say you guys are out of control."

Seeing the guard's enthusiasm, Carter frowned and shouted.

"This case should be referred to the Governor of Massachusetts for a decision."

"Wait a minute, gentlemen, please wait a moment. Now is not the time to quarrel."

Seeing that the situation was about to develop into a quarrel, Robin immediately intervened and interrupted.

"It should be too late to rush over now, right?!"

"Uncle...! Hurry, hurry, stop them!"

And Abigail urged Carter, still thinking that Tituba might be saved.
