Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

"Ah, I forgot, sorry." Little Charles shrugged, then threw him the key to the slave girl's shackles, and left.

Haiwen took the key with a gloomy expression, and then opened the shackles for the two female slaves.Then he called out: "Dreyer!"

Dreyer flashed in from the door, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Clean up here, I'll wash my face and go to receive the mayor."

Dreyer looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Master, why do you believe it? There is a bullshit mayor! I just want to scare him."

"I..." Hai Wen was embarrassed for a while, and then said, "Thank you very much. Thank you for your rescue."

Dreyer looked at Haven with very strange eyes. "The master shouldn't thank the slave, my lord." He rubbed his shiny mustache, "You say you... well, I'm a servant, so I shouldn't say that, but my lord, if we go on like this, we won't be able to beat the Charles brothers. .”

"I'll pay attention in the future." Haiwen turned to look at the two female slaves who were still in shock, and said, "You guys... go take a bath first. Then I will arrange a place for you to rest, and other things will be discussed later After he finished speaking, Dreyer pointed to the outside, and said to the two female slaves in a commanding tone: "You two wait outside! I will make arrangements after I finish talking with the adults."

The two female slaves walked out immediately, at this moment Dreyer suddenly shouted with wide eyes: "Wait a minute!" The two female slaves were startled immediately, the older one knelt down on the ground, followed by the younger one .At this time, Delal picked up the corner of his mouth and said: "That's right, when the master speaks, you have to kneel and listen. This is the rule!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Let's go." Dreyer waved his hands without looking back, and the two female slaves left.

Haven frowned and said, "I don't like this kind of rule, Delaire."

"My lord, have you forgotten? You liked this before." Dreyer looked at him and said, "Besides, we came here kneeling like this back then, so what's the matter with letting them kneel now? Masters and slaves have to be distinguished That's good, otherwise, how do I manage these people below?"

The deep-rooted feudal thinking of these people cannot be changed in a short while, Haiwen thought to himself. "Leave that aside, I hope you can bury this girl first." He said to Dreyer.

Dreyer frowned, then grabbed the dead slave girl's hair and lifted her up, looking at her face, "It's a pity that she looks so good-looking."

"It's a pity—so can you let her die?"

"Put it in peace? That would be even more pity—can I take this girl away?" He said while holding the body of the slave girl.

"What are you going to do?"

Dreyer grinned and said, "It's still hot, it's a pity."

"Bury her, right away." Hai Wen said, "Come to me to receive the reward after you've done this. The money is guaranteed to be enough for you to prostitute until your legs are weak."

"You are so generous, my lord. You were not like this in the past." There was deep meaning in his tone, as if hinting at something about Hai Wen.Haven wasn't sure.

Then Dreyer dragged the body away expressionlessly.Haiwen also happened to go to wash off the blood on his body.He came to the washbasin, looked at himself on the water, and thought to himself: I thought I could make a career here as a traveler, but now it seems that I underestimated this world too much.Hai Wen sighed and splashed a handful of water on his face.so cold.

He realizes that he has too much to do and too much trouble.First of all, he has to try to integrate into this society and understand the thoughts of these people. He still does not have the ability to change the general environment; secondly, he lacks available people around him.

There is no doubt that Delaire Hansrock is a cruel, scheming, psychopathic guy.Haven looked at Dreyer's back and thought to himself, but he is indeed capable. No wonder I relied on him so much in the past. This man is considered a hero among villains. When it comes to conspiracy and tricks, I am not as good as him.

As long as he is loyal to me, the so-called doing good at the top will be effective at the bottom. As the time spent with me increases, I believe he can turn his back on his evil ways—Haven has this idea, of course, he himself is aware of this A little naive, but he is willing to give it a try.

After washing, he returned to the reception room.At this time Dreyer also came back, and he brought two servants to clean up the blood and replace the carpet with a new one.After everything was done, he said to Haven, "My lord, this is what I was worried about before."

"You're right to be worried, Delaire. But I want to know why the Charles brothers pay so much attention to Islet - is there anything special about her?"

"She can make a big fuss about her." Dreyer chuckled, "The master of the Charles family is dead, the two brothers will get the inheritance, right?"

"Correct."

"How do you divide the inheritance?"

"Of course the two brothers are evenly divided, so what's wrong with that?" Hai Wen said.

Dreyer sighed, and said: "Both brothers think it's not good to get half of it. They both want the whole thing. But in fact, Master Charles' will distributed most of the inheritance to the elder brother, and the younger brother only got a lot of money." A small part."

"What does this have to do with Isrit?"

"Little Charles is not reconciled. He wants to blame his father's death on his brother. He wants to find Estherite and make her give false testimony, saying that she was ordered by Big Charles; in this way, Big Charles is charged with murder Father’s crime, not to mention inheritance, his life is in jeopardy! Now most of the two brothers are aware of this, so they are vying for Isriette.”

I see.Haiwen nodded, and asked again: "But there is one thing I don't understand. If Charles is also aware of this, why doesn't he act first? He can treat others in the same way Let Esriette give false testimony and frame his younger brother. In fact, he didn't do that, he just wanted to kill Esriette to avenge his father."

Dreyer didn't answer right away, but said: "Your Honor, you really don't understand human nature."

What did he mean by that?Haven felt puzzled.

"Because Big Charles is not as cruel as Little Charles. He doesn't want to kill his brother. He hopes that his brother will change his mind." When Dreyer said this, Hai Wen's expression was as frozen as ice, "My lord, you have to You know, people are very complicated, there are very few absolutely evil people, and absolutely good people... there are almost none."

Well, hardly ever. "Thank you, Dreyer." He thanked again.

"The master doesn't thank the slave, my lord, have you forgotten?" The butler looked at him with a meaningful look.

So he changed his tune and said, "Well, you did a good job."

"Yes." Dreyer nodded, "You have to remember who you are, Haven Ambside, your behavior recently... is not normal. But people always have whim, I can understand For example, I once wanted to fuck an old widow in Linzhen and marry her... So I don’t care what you want to do, I just want to tell you that we are grasshoppers on the same rope, you have a whim Afterwards, it’s best to ask me first, let’s discuss it before we can handle things, right?”

Yes, I have to remember who I am. "Then we can continue talking about Charles, how do we settle Brother Charles?"

"I originally wanted to be cruel, but now the plan has changed, my lord." He stood at the door and made a "please" gesture, "Let's go to the study downstairs and say, you can talk to little Charles. I lost two guests, and they have been waiting for you there for a long time."

The study room was actually the place where Haiwen used to do business with his mistress.There are books on one hand that can be counted on one hand, and the rest of the bookshelves are full of adult toys that make people blush just by looking at them.As they walked towards the study, Haiwen asked, "How can you let guests go to that kind of place?"

"Because it's safest there, my lord. It's soundproof and has no windows."

When they came to the door of the study, Dreyer gently opened the door and invited him in.The moment Hewen entered the door, he realized that Delaire probably had another reason for inviting the two guests to this kind of place, which was to satisfy his own evil taste.

Because it was Esriette and another young woman in a dark green robe—he saw that woman was sitting on a feather bed with her legs crossed, reading a book called "Conquest and Masochism" in her hand. The book; and Estherite was holding an indescribable stick-shaped object in her hand, her eyes were wide open, and she was in a panic.

No one noticed him coming.

He coughed softly, signaling his presence.

Then Islet let out a low cry in fright, the thing in her hand fell to the ground, and rolled to Hewen's feet with a gurgling sound; and the woman in green closed the hardcover book with a "snap" , that voice seemed to be hitting Haiwen in the face.

The scene was very embarrassing.

Spoiler, information that can now be made public.

Chapter 7: The Witch of the Forest Has Her Own Trick

Chapter 7: The Witch of the Forest Has Her Own Trick

Three people stood in three corners of the room, and the atmosphere was so stiff that it made one's face sour.Haiwen felt that he should speak first to break the silence, so he subconsciously said, "Are you interested in this thing?" The moment he finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong.

Isrit's face suddenly turned red, but the woman in the dark green robe showed a subtle smile.

The woman in the dark green robe put the book on her lap and said, "I'm very interested. I hope I can borrow this book."

Estherite said: "I just... I just haven't seen this kind of toy..." She stared at the wretched thing on the ground with a very stiff expression on her face, "I mean... this thing is really Well-made, just as real... Ah! No! That's not what I mean! I haven't seen the real thing, I've only seen it in oil paintings, I mean..." Her face was so red that it was bleeding.

Haven picked it up and put it back on the bookshelf.Then he saluted very gentlemanly, and said bravely: "It is really inappropriate for my housekeeper to invite the two of you here. Please forgive me for the impoliteness; but this is the safest place in the house." , so we're talking here."

His serious attitude eased the atmosphere.After the two girls glanced at each other, Estherite said first, "Esritre greets you again, Your Honor." She held up her skirt and saluted, "Thank you for everything you have done to me before."

Then the woman in the dark green robe behind her also saluted him, her face was covered by the shadow of the hood as she made a bosom salute. "My lord, Zhe Lita, I have met Your Honor. As her mentor, I thank you for everything you have done to Isrit."

Gellette, she was wearing a green robe that was big enough to cover her face. Her whole body exuded a smell of herbs, a bit like the smell in a Chinese pharmacy in her previous life.

"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Gerrit," said Haven.

The witch named Gellite took off her hood. She looked a few years older than Isrit. She was tall and had the appearance of a northern woman, with blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin.However, unlike that kind of beautiful beauty, this guy's eyebrows are very presumptuous, and they seem to be raised all the time. The corners of her mouth are naturally slightly raised, which makes her always look like a half-smile. There is always third harmonicity.

"Are you the mentor of Isrit?" Haven asked.

"Instructor of witchcraft, I have taught her herbology, zoology, geography and animal language - I went on a trip half a year ago, and I just came back yesterday." She shrugged, "Thanks for your presence, Your Honor , or my girl will be doomed."

Haiwen nodded, and said, "I am the one who is doomed now——has my housekeeper told you about the trouble I'm in now?"

"Don't worry, the forest witch has her own tricks, my lord. Do you have any condemned prisoners who are close in size to Isrit?"

Haven called Delair in and asked him about it.Dreyer stared at Essraet for a moment, then said, "Yes, but it's a man."

Gelette said, "A man is fine too, take me to see him."

So the four came to the prison.

Wild Horse Town is not big, but the prison is not small, enough to hold hundreds of people.The prison was built behind the judge's house, which is the south-east corner of the town.When they arrived, the guard at the gate was sleeping. The guy put three chairs together to form a bed, and lay on it like a dead dog.Hai Wen smelled a strong smell of alcohol, it seems that this person drank a lot.

"The prison guards sleep like this in broad daylight? What if something happens in the prison?" Haiwen muttered.Immediately afterwards, Dreyer stepped up, slapped the guy to the ground, and then punched and kicked him. Haven quickly stopped him and said: "There is no need to do this, he is negligent, we can Fire him, but don't beat him."

Hearing this, the guard got up from the ground and shouted in horror: "My lord! You can't fire me!"

Dreyer dusted off the dirt on his body, and then said: "Yes, my lord, if you are angry, you can break his legs, but if you fire him... there is a high probability that he will starve to death on the street, or become a Murderous robbers. We don't have so many jobs to feed people around here."

Haiwen said: "That's enough, go back to your post. You are not allowed to drink alcohol on duty days, and I will make irregular inspections. If I find out that you have neglected your duties, you will lose your job."

"Yes, my lord!" The guard immediately stood straighter than the pine tree.

Looking at the lack of jobs in this place, a lot of the workforce can't function.Haiwen silently remembered this point and saved it for future use.They came inside the wall. The prison is divided into two parts, one part is built on the ground, with complete facilities and a comfortable environment. It is not much different from the house outside-this place is for prisoners with backgrounds. These people Basically they will be ransomed; the second part is built underground, which is the real prison.

This time they were going underground. The underground prison was built next to the toilet, and when they got close, the stench was suffocating. The door was a large rusty iron grille door, and there was darkness behind the door. "This time I have to go ahead, my lord—oh, and the two ladies, watch your step." Dreyer walked in the front with the oil lamp.

The road leading to the underground prison is narrow and steep, the stairs are undulating, wide and narrow, and if you are not careful, you will fall down; there is an indescribable stench in the humid air, which seems to be the smell of various pickles. There was a mixture of things; Haven heard Isrit's rapid breathing, and she was obviously afraid because she had been locked up in this place before.

Fortunately, Dreyer was familiar with this place, he walked down the stairs steadily, and then lit the oil lamp inside. "You bloody ghosts! Your honor is here!" He shouted towards the inside.Then there was a noise from inside, there were shouts, the sound of things being overturned, and people screaming.After a while, two guards came running over. One of them was so fat that he almost tore his clothes, and his hat was lost somewhere; Oil stains, I don't know how long I haven't showered.

"You..." Haiwen stared at the two people, and suddenly smelled a stench, like a dirty mop mixed with disinfectant.Then the skinny man's pants fell down, probably because the belt wasn't fastened.The man pulled up his pants in embarrassment, and said with a smile on his face, "My lord, I was going to the bathroom just now."

Haven's memory bank is filled with stories about these jailers, the fat one who's a money junkie, and the scruffy skinny one who's a twisted pervert with a penchant for lynching and sodomizing prisoners.

It seems that today he is also doing routine work.

So Haiwen pushed him away and went straight to the depths of the prison.There are prisons on both sides of the corridor. When the prisoners saw the judge coming, they all gathered at the door of the cage; occasionally there were one or two voices of justice, but most of them chose to remain silent or even numb.They have tried to redress my grievances, Haiwen thought, but in the past, I have never really tried criminals. More than half of the people here are wronged, and I know it well.
