Chapter 92 Killing someone
While running as fast as he could, Xiao Qianchuan checked his system points to see if he could exchange them for some special medicine to heal his wounds and prolong his life.
However, he forgot that at the end of each game, he chose to cash in all his points without hesitation.
At this moment, the game had just started, and Xiao Qianchuan's points were pitifully few. The only 10,000 points he had just earned by selling his body.
Xiao Qianchuan gritted his teeth and reluctantly took out his only remaining 11,000 points to exchange for a bottle of the most common healing potion.
While feeling heartbroken, he thought that he had to save some points for the future and not cash them all out.
But after a while, Xiao Qianchuan no longer had the mind to think about anything else.
He hadn't exercised for a long time and overestimated his physical strength. The explosive running soon made his legs so sore that he could hardly support himself.
When he arrived breathlessly at the orange orchard where the screams broke out, there were already quite a few people gathered around.
The strong smell of blood choked Xiao Qianchuan and made him cough. He covered his mouth, held onto the tree trunk and looked up.
A man in a black suit was lying face down on the ground, with a dagger stuck deep into his back.
A large amount of blood seeped into the soil, and mixed with the pungent smell of rotting fallen leaves, it attracted a large number of mosquitoes buzzing around in the orchard.
A pair of feet stepped on the dark brown soil, standing quietly beside the body. Xiao Qianchuan raised his eyes and quickly scanned the man up and down, then slowly exhaled.
No injuries, that’s great!
But Ling Rizhao felt that his current condition was terrible.
His hands were stained with fresh blood, and he appeared alone beside a corpse. In the Middle Ages when there was no surveillance, there was no way to defend himself.
Of course, no one gave him a chance to explain.
Seeing this, several men drew their gorgeously decorated swords from their waists and pointed them at him from a distance.
The ladies screamed and stepped back, and some of them turned around and ran back to the ballroom.
"Ah! Murder. Murder."
"Go and inform the owner of the castle and bring more guards. Don't let him escape."
"But...but the owner of the castle just passed away, and the new successor has not yet been decided. Who should we look for?"
"Who cares? Just invite all the young masters and young ladies from the Inset family. Quickly!"
"This guy is so arrogant that he dares to kill people in Inset Castle. And at this critical moment, could this be related to the fight between the heirs of the castle?"
"Shh! What are you talking about? Are you trying to kill yourself..."
Ling Rizhao, who had been identified as the murderer, stood there with his hands raised, silently listening to the crowd's discussion. He looked around and found that the disobedient guy had followed him from behind the crowd.
But when the other party saw his dire situation, he immediately turned around and left quickly.
Ling Rizhao couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.
Disappointment, a little bit.
But I feel more grateful in my heart.
Fortunately, Xiao Qianchuan knew how to protect himself. This is good!
Ling Rizhao did not say a word to defend himself, nor did he make any unnecessary movements. He carefully observed everyone around him and took note of any useful information revealed in their conversations.
Next, all he could do was wait quietly for the person in charge of the castle to appear, and then see whether it was more appropriate to persuade the other party with words or force.
"I heard that someone dared to commit a crime in our castle?"
Surrounded by the crowd, a beautiful lady in a green dress and holding a white flower mask walked calmly.
"It's Mantis Inset."
"Great, Miss Mantis is here."
"Watch your step! Don't get too close to that guy."
People immediately gathered around, expressing their concern and telling about what they had just "seen with their own eyes".
Miss Mantis has a pair of narrow willow-like eyes with the tails turned up, which makes her look a bit mean, but when she smiles, she reveals a gentle and charming charm.
She responded to everyone with a polite smile, and finally set her sights on the "perpetrator".
Ling Rizhao was a little surprised. He never thought that the person in charge of Inset Castle would be such a woman.
That gaze was too calm, with a sophistication and maturity that did not belong to a young woman.
But it’s okay. Compared with these impulsive and conceited nobles in front of him, this lady with a cold temperament obviously seems to have more patience to communicate with him.
"Ms. Mantis, please listen to my explanation..."
Mantis raised his hand to interrupt the "murderer's" narration, and handed the Jasmine mask in his hand to the man in military uniform and rabbit ear mask beside him.
She began to ask questions at her own pace and at a leisurely tone.
"Who are you? Take off your mask."
Ling Rizhao was not used to this passive feeling. He had always been the one to interrogate others, but now he could only do as he was told.
As soon as he took off the silver mask on his face, someone called out his name.
"Gru Ward."
"The butler of Inset Castle!"
It was not surprising for this time traveler to hear the full name of his butler, Ling Rizhao, for the first time.
But he found that Miss Mantis of the castle was also unfamiliar with the name, and she frowned suddenly when the man mentioned the word "butler".
There is something wrong with this Miss Mantis.
"Mr. Butler, I hope you can explain it."
Ling Rizhao looked at the lady with a smile, "I couldn't ask for more."
"First of all, this person is not me..."
"Bastard!"
A roar was heard, and a man wearing an eagle mask pushed aside the onlookers and strode over.
The man tore off the troublesome mask and threw it on the ground, revealing a pair of large, protruding eyes filled with anger.
He walked over quickly, raised his ivory cane, pointed it at the man with bloody hands and started to scold him.
"You killed Snake? Bastard! Who gave you the courage?"
"Folley, aren't you drunk? Why are you here? What do you know?"
In response to Mantis' question, Fry Inset asked instead of answering.
"Then why are you here again? Anything that happens in the castle should be notified to me, the first heir, so that I can make the decision. My dear sister, go back and dance! Let your brother handle the things here."
Hearing this, Mantis's elegant calmness was almost unsustainable. She controlled her tone to avoid sounding like a rude shrew.
"When have you ever acted like a brother? The inheritance of the Inset family has never been based on status, but only on ability. Have you forgotten the rules set by the ancestor? Foley, just drink your wine!"
The bloody case that originally attracted much attention seemed less important under the quarrel between the brother and sister. It seemed to be just a small trigger for the two to fight for power, but neither of them was willing to let go.
"Come here, tie him up for me. Bring me a whip!"
"Foy, what are you doing? I haven't interrogated him yet. How can you resort to lynching?"
"Isn't it obvious enough now? What is there to judge? If you kill someone in Inset Castle, you must follow the rules of the castle. It is only natural for the master to punish the slave. Mantis, you want to go against the rules of the aristocracy and intercede for those lowly people?"
Mantis wanted to argue something, but was suddenly hugged by the man wearing a rabbit mask beside him, and his shoulder was patted gently to comfort him. In the end, he didn't say anything.
The man with bulging eyes was about to take the whip handed to him by his valet, but when he stretched out his arm, it seemed as if a pain nerve was touched. He grimaced, then raised his ivory cane and pointed at several guards behind Mantis.
"Go, tie up Gru Ward and hang him."
The man bit the last two words tightly, and the castle guards were startled and immediately stepped out from Miss Mantis's side. They drew their swords and walked forward with the ropes they had prepared.
Seeing that the situation had become impossible to communicate, Ling Rizhao slowly lowered his hands, clenched his fists, and prepared to use force to convince everyone.
"boom!"
The sudden sound of a gunshot stunned everyone.
