Chapter 105: Waste, you are a waste!
"How are the casualties at Salome Manor?" Baron Pedi asked immediately.
"It seems that only a few rooms were burned down, without causing much damage. Someone set the fire, but someone put it out immediately." The knight replied.
Baron Petty opened the door, let the knight in, and asked: "Do you know who set the fire?" The knight
looked at Baron Petty, with a very solemn expression on his face, and whispered: "The arsonist was caught, it turned out to be People from Charles Manor. Moreover, the people who put out the fire were people from Sardin Manor."
"Saldin Manor?" Baron Pedi was stunned and immediately said: "Hurry up and explain it to me."
"Yes. !" The knight came and went to inquire about the news. At this moment, his mouth was dry. Seeing that the master refused to even give him a sip of water, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said: "The people from
Sardin Manor have brought some gifts. We went to the Salome Manor as guests. They said they were neighbors and wanted to ease the relationship. Mrs. Salome blocked them from the manor on the grounds that her husband was not at home. Who knew that a fire suddenly broke out in the backyard. And as soon as the fire started, It became huge from the beginning. Those people from Saldin Manor were very skilled, and one of them was a magic knight who practiced water element magic. Without saying a word, he rushed into the backyard and put out the fire." "
They While putting out the fire, we happened to catch an arsonist, who turned out to be a knight from Charles Manor. His name was Wilson. I even drank with him." If he had heard this news a day
ago, Baron Petty would have thought This news is really ridiculous. But now that he heard the news, he was not surprised at all.
"Check again to see if Mrs. Salome is safe." Baron Pedi ordered.
After all, Mrs. Salome is his cousin, and although he doesn't care too much about her life or death, he still needs to express his concern.
"Don't worry, Sir, Madam Salomé seems to be safe." The knight said: "I heard that she has learned about the murder of Baron Pedi and asked the Sardine Manor to protect her. They are probably protected now. "
Sardine Manor, they have such good intentions." Baron Pedi said casually.
Speaking of which, the conflict between Saldin Manor and him is just that he took away the serfs and refused to return them. At best, it can be regarded as a matter of property ownership and neighbor friction.
With this level of conflict, they should not do anything to Mrs. Salome.
After all, she is not his own woman, as long as someone protects her.
Now that he had the protection of the Saldin Manor, he quickly put the matter aside.
He was very flustered at the moment, and his heart was in a state of confusion. His head, which was already a mess, was thinking at high speed.
The current situation is that he saw Baron Salome die in the manor of Viscount Charles with his own eyes.
A baron was killed in the house of a viscount. This was definitely a sensational event in the Volo Valley.
And he was the only witness besides Charles.
From entering the manor, to the dispute between the two, to Salome's death. Viscount Charles had the motive to kill and the conditions to commit the crime. No matter what, he can't escape the relationship.
Reminiscent of the weird knight at Sardine Manor telling him a few days ago that Viscount Charles had long coveted his and Salome's mines.
At that time, he thought the knight was bluffing. Now it seems that Charles really has this idea?
Otherwise, if the two people argue together and Salome threatens Charles, Charles can kill Salome in such a short time. How could it have been done so quickly if the killer had not been prepared in advance?
Thinking of this, Baron Peidi felt a chill in his heart. He has been to Charles Manor many times. He had always regarded Charles as his eldest brother, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother had a killer buried in the yard.
As for why he took action in the manor, it was probably because Charles wanted to prevent Salome from leaving, and he was a little angry.
If that's the case, why didn't Charles just kill himself too?
Is it because I didn't anger him at that time? Or did he run too fast and he didn't have time to take action?
After much deliberation, Baron Pedi couldn't figure it out at all. He just felt that what happened today was really terrible. Completely beyond my own knowledge.
The only word he could think of was crazy.
Viscount Charles is so crazy!
It's understandable that he covets his and Salome's mine, but why did he kill Salome after a disagreement?
Still in his yard!
He clearly had eye contact with the murderer, but he still pretended to let the guards in the yard chase the murderer.
What did the guards do when they were killing people?
Speaking of which, Viscount Charles was originally a man who committed adultery, robbery and all kinds of evil.
It's just that the targets of his violence before were civilians, and Baron Pedi didn't feel anything at all.
Now that the violence was committed against the nobles, Baron Pedi suddenly felt a very uncomfortable sense of substitution.
'This guy is simply a devil! 'Baron Petty is extremely disgusted with Viscount Charles at this moment.
While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard the knight calling outside the door coming over and reporting to him: "Sir, Viscount Charles is here and wants to see you." Upon hearing the devil's
visit, Baron Petty suddenly took a breath. Cool air.
"Just say I'm not here!" Baron Pedi immediately said to the knight.
Immediately, he felt that something was wrong with this. He was now disgusted and afraid of Viscount Charles, and he didn't even have the courage to refuse to meet him.
Baron Petty asked: "Is he the only one?"
"It seems so far, yes. There is only one attendant around him." The knight replied: "And he emphasized that he will never cause any harm to you."
After pondering for a long time, Baron Petty finally said, "Let him wait for me in the living room. I'll be there right away."
He didn't want to see this devil at all now. But there is no way, who can let himself be less powerful than Viscount Charles. Without him taking action, the knights under his command could destroy his manor in minutes.
Baron Peidi didn't want to see him, but his strength really didn't allow it. Baron Salome was killed by him because he didn't listen to him. Baron Petty did not want to make the same mistake as Salome.
He straightened his clothes, stuffed a heart armor piece into his chest, and then put a small knife on both sides of his waist.
After preparing these, he finally walked out of the room and came to the living room.
Viscount Charles did not even sit down, but stood there blankly, leaning on a gentleman's staff.
His complexion looked very bad, and it was obvious that the killing of Baron Salomé had a great impact on his mood. This made Baron Pedi even more convinced that he had indeed killed Baron Salome in a fit of rage.
'After Salome exposed the plan, the man in front of me has become angry and crazy. We must not anger him! 'Baron Petty thought silently.
看到裴迪男爵终于出现，查尔斯面色铁青，郑重说道：“萨洛美男爵不是我杀的！”
裴迪男爵连忙点点头，道：“我知道，不是你杀的，伱都没动手。”
“也不是我属下杀的！”查尔斯子爵再次强调道：“他的死，和我没有任何关系！”
“是，是”裴迪男爵附和道：“他虽然死在您的庄园里，但是和您确实没有任何关系。”
查尔斯子爵看到裴迪男爵说这些的时候，面带恐惧，言不由衷，知道他根本就不相信自己的话。
于是他原本紧绷着的心情变得更加激动，再次解释道：“我真的没有杀他！而且，他庄园那把火也不是我放的。纵火的威尔逊虽然以前是我的骑士，但他两天前因为对我的侍女动手，被我逐出了庄园。”
“对，对，您说的对！那把火绝对不是您本人放的。那个威尔逊·多罗我压根不认识。没有任何证据证明那场火跟您有任何关系！”裴迪男爵在此附和道。
查尔斯子爵有些激动的上前一步，想要解释。却看到裴迪男爵立刻往后退出好几步，并且还摆出了防御的姿态。
看到他的这种反应，查尔斯子爵被彻底激怒了。他变得有些歇斯底里，大声喊道：“这件事情，是萨尔丁的阴谋！你要我怎么解释你才能听懂？是萨尔丁的阴谋！他想离间我们。”
裴迪男爵再次往后退了两步，像看疯子一样看向查尔斯子爵。
萨尔丁的阴谋什么的，他已经完全不关心了。他和萨尔丁没有仇恨，萨尔丁杀的是查尔斯的人，并不是他的人。
他现在只想让查尔斯子爵赶紧离开。矿奴也好，矿坑也好，他都不想管了。只想呆在自己的庄园里，获得暂时的安宁。
查尔斯子爵用一种怨毒的眼神盯着裴迪男爵，怒道：“你不相信我是不是？萨洛美夫人不相信我，说我是凶手。还说是我纵的火。连你也不相信我，是不是？”
“相信，我相信。”裴迪男爵看到查尔斯充满杀意的眼神，用一种近似祈求的语气道：“子爵大人，我身体有点不舒服，想先离开了，您自己请便，好吗？”
“你不能离开！”查尔斯子爵立刻走上两步，几乎和裴迪男爵面对面，沉声说道：“我们现在要对付的是萨尔丁领主，你知道吗？不仅要对付他，还要洗脱我身上的嫌疑。事情还没说完，你要走去哪里？”
裴迪男爵面对查尔斯子爵的威压，终于撑不住了。
他的身子一下子软了下来，对着查尔斯哀求道：“子爵大人，您就放过我吧。那些矿奴我不要了，甚是甚至连矿坑我也不要了。您都拿走吧。只求您放过我，不要杀我。关于萨洛美的事情，我绝对不会对市政厅多说的。我什么都不知道，什么都不想过问。我只想保住性命，呆在自己的庄园就行了，求求您了”
查尔斯子爵看到裴迪男爵在不断求饶，就像是坐实了是自己杀掉了萨洛美男爵一般。
他只感觉到自己的身上背了一口硕大无比的黑锅。
萨洛美死在自己的庄园里，而且还是和自己爆发矛盾之后。自己以前的骑士出现在火场，被当成了纵火犯。
这一桩桩的事情，甩也甩不脱，逃也逃不掉。
杀害贵族是一件大罪。萨洛美夫人一定会去市政厅告发自己的。
他原本想着拉拢裴迪男爵和自己站在一条战线。可是这个愚蠢的贵族现在已经被吓成了呆鸡。连独立思考的能力都没有了。
他看着不断哀求的裴迪男爵。积蓄已久的怒气终于爆发，飞起一脚，一下子将裴迪男爵踹翻在地上。
随即，他又在裴迪男爵身上连踹了两脚。其中有一脚踹在裴迪男爵的腰部，里面藏着的护甲和匕首反而将自己的脚底咯得生疼。
他大怒之下，从裴迪的腰部解下匕首，对他恶狠狠的说道：“你不是说信任我吗？怎么腰上还有这个玩意儿？”
裴迪男爵一边连连摆手，一边往后退。
看着裴迪男爵的窝囊样子，查尔斯子爵忍不住骂道：“妈的，废物。你就是个废物！本爵当初真是瞎了眼睛，和你们这两个废物商量事情。”
面对查尔斯子爵的辱骂，裴迪男爵低着头，不敢有任何反驳。
既然裴迪男爵已无法合作，查尔斯决定不再浪费时间，他蹲下身子，揪住裴迪的衣领，眼神凌冽，冷冷说道：“既然你想置身事外，我可以成全你。交出你的矿奴和矿坑。本爵一个人去对付萨尔丁。另外，如果市政厅的调查小队来问你的话，你胆敢说出半句对我不利的话，我绝对饶不了你！”
“是，是。”裴迪男爵连连点头道。
查尔斯子爵在裴迪男爵身上发泄了所有的情绪，他站起身来，瞥了裴迪男爵一眼，突然有一种畅快感，冷笑道：“以前我和萨洛美在边镀北村凌辱村长家那三个水灵灵的女儿的时候，邀请你一起参加，你却拒绝。当时我还以为你是一个有操守的绅士。现在想来，也只是因为你是一个胆小怕事的废物罢了。”
说着，他提着绅士杖，迈步离开屋子。
查尔斯子爵走后，裴迪男爵坐在地上，脸颊通红，眼神含泪，呼哧呼哧喘着粗气。
他的骑士侍从从另一个房间走过来，连忙将裴迪男爵扶起来，想要安慰他，却不知道从何说起，只轻声道：“大人.”
裴迪男爵气得浑身发抖，哆哆嗦嗦的从桌上拿起一只酒杯，一下子全灌进自己的嘴里。
他喝得时候用力过猛，酒水顺着脖子肆流，溅的的衣领上都是酒渍。
但他丝毫不在乎，喝完之后一下子将酒杯砸在地上，然后不断的咳嗽着。
“大人.这样也好。先暂时忍一忍，等市政厅的调查团来了，说不定直接就把他给带走了。”骑士轻声安慰道。
“我怕我等不到那个时候，查尔斯已经成了疯子.”
裴迪男爵懊丧的摇摇头，沉吟了一会儿，突然问道：“你之前说，萨洛美夫人寻求了萨尔丁的庇护，现在躲进了萨尔丁的庄园？”
“是啊。”骑士点点头道。
“萨尔丁庄园”裴迪男爵喃喃的说着这个名字，眼神中突然有了些许的光彩。
