Outworld: Rise of an Industrial Empire

Garcia Tavern

At this time, a cordon had been set up outside Garcia's Tavern with hemp rope, and more than a dozen grenadiers were on guard with muskets and long swords hanging from their waists.

When Wang Wei came to the cordon, a young man in a suit saw Wang Wei coming, hurriedly stepped forward and said to him

, "Ah, sir, you are here.

"How's the situation?" asked

Wang Wei at the man in the suit, who took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Wang Wei and said

, "This is a confession to the victims and witnesses on both sides, the victims are the same as yesterday, and the Garcia family is still silent.

"Is there an eyewitness confession?"

"Yes, this is a breakthrough, two witnesses said that they saw what happened, and it was Charles and others who drank and injured people, and killed Baron Robert by mistake, just like Baron Robert's domestic servant.

Wang Wei frowned when he heard this, and looked at it after taking the confession, the confessions of Charlie and the servants were not the same, although Charles and others admitted to killing Baron Robert, but in their confessions, the fault was on Baron Robert's side.

The confession of Baron Robert's servant is the opposite, originally this matter could not be completely conclusive, but now that there are eyewitness confessions, then the spearhead of this matter is pointed at Charles and others.

However, the tavern family remained silent, and this is the strangest thing about this case.

...

The three-story stone house in Baron Robert's Manor Manor

does not look luxurious, but it is much more refined than the houses around the manor.

In the garden in front of the house, there were several private soldiers dressed in cloth and armed with iron knives.

Baron Robert's son, or rather, the new Baron Robert, was sitting in his chair with a gloomy face.

"It's all arranged, let them keep their mouths shut

!" "I've already told them that if they dare to talk nonsense, they will never let their family

go!" "Okay, you guys go first!"

Baron New Robert waved his hand at the three of them, signaling them to leave.

...

A nobleman died yesterday, and he was still a comrade-in-arms, and the grenadiers didn't know what to do with it all of a sudden, so they reported to the squad leader, who in turn reported to the platoon commander, and the platoon commander didn't know how to deal with it, and reported to the company commander ... Report all the way to Wang Wei.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Wang Wei got the news. After Wang Wei learned of the situation, he immediately rushed to the scene of the crime to collect a confession.

However, as early as this period of time, Robert's family had already received the news, and Baron Robert's son immediately rushed to the scene of the crime, and the grenadiers also let him in, after all, it was the father who died.

Later, through the domestic servant, he learned about what had happened, and the whole thing was actually the fault of the baron. Garcia's family were freedmen, and according to the law, nobles could not kill at will.

Therefore, if this matter is made public, it may be fined a large amount of money at that time, and not only that, but it will also be suppressed by the surrounding aristocratic forces.

And according to the law of the kingdom, no matter what the reason, if a commoner kills a nobleman, even if he is wrong with the nobleman or misses, the commoner will be hanged. But who knows if the hillbillies from Su Zheng, a small city-state, will not act according to this law, especially since these people are still Su Zheng's soldiers.

On the one hand, it directly alarmed the top echelons of the Soviet political contingent, and on the other hand, the surrounding people complained very much.

Therefore, in any case, the truth of this matter will have a great impact on Baron Robert's family.

After some thought, Baron Robert's son had his servants lie about their drunkenness, and then they clashed with them, resulting in Garcia Bill's death, and they killed the baron.

At the same time, he threatened Garcia's family and killed their entire family if they dared to confess.

Of course, it is not okay to kill openly, but arranging for the dead to kill people behind their backs is a common thing for nobles, and no one cares about the life or death of civilians, not to mention that in addition to direct killing, as nobles, they also have countless ways to rectify civilians!

Finally, they threaten the surrounding people, and then arrange a few "witnesses" to corroborate.

In this way, not only can the crimes of these soldiers be confirmed, but also they do not have to lose a lot of money, and other nobles have no excuse to target their own families, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.

...

...

In the afternoon, in the palace, Su Zheng received a report and a confession, and then Su Zheng called the officers and all the students of the command headquarters to conduct a profound review of this disciplinary issue.

But when Su Zheng read the confession, he fell into deep thought.

"The confessions of these soldiers are completely different from the confessions of the victims and witnesses!" Su

Zheng frowned and looked at the confession and said, Wang Wei sighed and said:

"There are actually many doubts in this matter, but there is a confession of the victim and the eyewitness, and the conclusion is also the same.

Su Zheng put the confession on the table and said to Wang Wei:

"I prefer to believe my soldiers than these people!" "

But the confessions of the victims and witnesses all point to these soldiers..."

"That's the problem, they were arrested immediately after the killing, but their confessions are the same! And the eyewitness's remarks are very interesting, almost all the people in the vicinity said they didn't know, I think they didn't know, but they were afraid of something. There were only two eyewitnesses, whose testimonies were not only consistent but also detailed.

Su Zheng felt that this was too suspicious, even if there were witnesses who were willing to confess, even if they were very clear, it would not be possible to say so comprehensively and meticulously, after all, it would not be much good for these people to die.

"The most important thing is that the civilian's family is silent... That's the crux of the matter, mistakes kill their families, and they don't say a word... But if according to the confessions of the soldiers... Then everything will be explained..."

Su Zheng reasoned to everyone present, this confession is pointed at Charlie and others, but if you think about it, there are many loopholes.

"The Garcia family must not dare to go against Baron Robert's family, and may even be threatened..."

How dare commoners go against the nobility... That's right... Noble..."

Su Zheng muttered quietly, then squinted out the window.

In fact, Su Zheng has always neglected the aristocracy, and he has not particularly targeted the aristocracy in his ideological work.

The concept of nobility has been diluted in Su Zheng's ranks, after all, Su Zheng, as a lord, personally went down to the company to do ideological work for the big soldiers, and he was very friendly to any soldier, so the officers under Su Zheng naturally did not dare to be presumptuous.

Moreover, in the army, Lei Ming and Li Zhen are viscounts and barons, and Noelle is the daughter of the duke, and the three of them are willing to stay because they are not used to the oppression of the nobles by the commoners, so naturally they will not go back to bully others.

But now when facing other nobles, the grenadiers suddenly don't know what attitude to use to face them, and the servility to the nobles is still there.
