Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 129: The Liar Albert

On the doorstep of the White Deer Post Office, Old Benz apologized to Claude and said, "Little Claude, it's almost New Year's Eve in four or five days, and the Post Office will be on vacation tomorrow. If you want to send this letter to Wangdu, you can only stay here first. We will only have a postal bus to Wangdu after next year's 15th annual holiday, then you will be able to send it...”

Looking at this letter, which took one night to write, Claude could only laugh bitterly, and the timing was so unexpected that, just around the time of the New Year, the postal leave was a matter of reason. It's only until New Year's Day 15, and it's a little too late for that.

“Uncle Benz, this letter is urgent and addressed to Baroness Maria. Can you ask anyone at the post office who would like to help me run, and I'll pay a gold crown?” Claude can only now believe in the effect of the brave words under reward.

For postmen with only one silver tall five riasos a month, running to the king sends a letter for ten and a half days to earn more than three months of salary, and someone should be willing to give up their holiday at home to work hard.

Old Benz looked at Claude and nodded: “Let me ask you something. Little Claude, I feel sorry for your father, but I'm sure he'll be fine, he's a good man. ”

Soon old Benz came out with a middle-aged man with a slightly crippled left foot: "Little Claude, this is Boric, and he's willing to go on this trip. ”

Borik, a newcomer to the post office, had just retired from the army the previous year because of a foot injury and disability. He was from Silomick County and was assigned to the post office in White Deer Town as a postman. Since his family had not followed him to White Deer Town, he was willing to go to Wangdu for Claude and earn extra money.

Old Benz's choice of Boric has also been considered, and on the sidelines of this New Year's Eve, patrols everywhere will be more vigilant. Boric is a national and a postman, so he will have less trouble on his way to Wangdu. He will not be scrutinized by patrol police everywhere, whether through checkpoints or boarding houses.

Claude handed over the letter to Boric and paid another Silver Tower for the journey. If you hurry up and whip the road, it's only seven or eight days to get back and forth. It's just winter, it's snowy, it's a little hard to walk, and if you hit a heavy snow storm, you might have to take a few days. So Claude wrote another piece of paper to prove Boric's identity as a messenger, so that he could stay a few days after his arrival in Wang Du. It would be better to take Mrs. Maria's reply and come back...

After the letter was sent, Claude had to wait patiently. The next day, he was half in the woods, half in his own house, running both ways. Mother's body is finally better and she can do some chores. It's just that she sometimes remembers Mr. Morsan, still sitting still and crying.

Verricolo's father, Kubrick, assembled a group of retired veterans to go to the town hall at the request of the mayor, Baron Robert, to discuss the formation of a garrison, which was rejected by Mayor Robert.

The mayor, Baron Robert, said that he had submitted three options for the formation of a guard brigade to the county council for adjudication. So he and Kubrick, the veterans, had nothing to discuss, and no matter which plan the county council approved, the town hall would just have to follow it.

So the grumpy Uncle Cooper had another fight with Mayor Robert, and Uncle Cooper's loud voice scolded Mayor Robert publicly and forced Mayor Robert, who had no power to fight, to hide back in the town office, shut the doors and windows and pretend he couldn't hear Uncle Cooper scolding.

It's just that Uncle Kubrick won the scolding battle, but this victory has no influence whatsoever on the formation of a garrison in White Deer Town. Without the support of retired veterans, Mayor Robert chose to lift the table and submit the formation plan to the county council for decision.

Doing so, while losing control of the formation of the guard brigade, he could rely on the county council's lack of knowledge of the specific situation in White Deer Town to accomplish his purpose and properly dump the blackpot in the county council. In this regard, the veterans of Bai Lu Town who opposed him have lost.

Military control continues throughout the town, according to well-informed sources, until the formation of the White Deer Town guard brigade is complete. For the inhabitants of Bai Lu Town, however, military control does not affect their lives. In addition to checking out and entering the town, a number of businesses and shops in the town have even become more prosperous as a result of the arrival of soldiers from these well-paid guard battalions, and the old streets of the Moon and Feng lands have gained a lot of vitality to consume.

In fact, many residents of White Deer Town also hope that this military control will continue, as the security order throughout White Deer Town has improved more than ever with these soldiers stationed on the streets and alleys. Even the Black Snakes in the Glades have quenched their constant arrogance and become safe.

Claude did not pay attention to the disturbances, which seemed irrelevant to him, but was busy taking care of his mother, sister and brother and trying to find out what happened to his father who was being held in the barracks. Thanks to his tireless efforts, Piedad of the old tavern was ashamed to hold a line for him and banqueted a large captain of the guard battalion.

The captain told Claude that Mr. Morsan and nine other arrested persons, who had not been ill-treated or tortured to extract confessions, were treated relatively well in the military barracks. Only two days after their arrest, a special envoy from Wang Du interrogated several officers sent from the Ministry of the Navy, and they were then held in cells awaiting punishment for their crimes.

The captain stated that they also did not know why Mr. Morsan was arrested on charges of endangering the security of the Kingdom and that the orders they received in the county were to come to White Deer Town for military control, to protect White Deer Town from pirate attacks and to assist White Deer Town in forming a guard brigade. In addition to this, the nine dignitaries, Mr. Morsan, were arrested and guarded on the orders of a special envoy from Wang Du.

The feast cost Claude six silver tallers and sent the captain a case of blueberry fruit wine worth a golden crown. It took almost all the change around Claude. Claude also wanted to send something to his father in custody through the captain, but the request was politely denied by the captain. He said informing Claude of those news was just a little against military rules, but helping Claude deliver something to the prisoner was against the law, and he didn't want to be implicated in it...

Claude can now only send the letter of help he wrote to Mrs. Maria, hoping that Boric, who sent the letter, will arrive in Wang Du as soon as possible, so that Mrs. Maria can have enough time to understand the case and speak for her father.

Day after day in the scorching wait of Claude and his family.

The day before New Year's, Albert came home, something no one in the family had ever thought of.

Mother asked him with hope what was the outcome of his inquiry into Mr. Morsan's situation. He cried and said to Mother that the situation was not good. Father and the eight men seemed to form an insurgent group and were now likely to be shot on charges of treason...

Mother almost passed out, which was the worst nightmare she had ever heard.

Claude almost sprayed the black tea in his mouth, and he knew very well that Albert didn't even go to ask for information about his father. After taking his mother's money, he must have run away so far that he didn't have the money to go home. But he didn't expect Albert to make up a lie to intimidate his mother, apparently with the intention of getting money from home again.

Claude slowly spins his wrist, he feels his fist is starting to itch, he will definitely make his fist better than his addiction tonight...

“Claude, look at this...” Mother looked at Claude, who had become the main bone of the family for some time.

It's just Claude hasn't said a word yet, and Albert has already said, "Mother, what did you say to him? Now I'm the only one in the family who can take the lead. I went to County the other day and got a lot of friends to get the news. To save money, I had to shrink around in those cheap old hotels.

Good thing I finally found out that my father wasn't the mastermind of the rebel group, he was forced into it out of circumstance and could only be an accessory at best. So the warden who told me the news said to me that if I wanted to rescue my father, I had to hit him right away, and that as long as people and gifts were in place, my father could be lightly sentenced and not executed. ”

Claude was drunk, too. What did the guy think? Mr. Morsan was locked up in a military camp in White Deer Town, and he said he ran to the county for information, and he got news from the warden about his father. Obviously, this shit doesn't even know where my father is being held. It's not even a lie. Bad review!

“So, how much does it take to save your father?” Mother panicked.

The goods seriously frowned, thought about reaching out one hand, and tripled: “At least fifteen gold crowns... so that I could go to the county to get a gift to reduce my father's crime. ”

“But there's no money in the house...” Mother despaired: “Last time you took all my money, Claude paid for it. Your father's account at the bank has been sealed, and he can't even take the money out of it. ”

“Don't you still have jewelry? Mother, give me these jewellery jewellery in exchange for money, even if it's not enough, and now the most important thing is to relieve my father of his crimes. This needs to be hurried. If it takes too long, I fear it will be too late... What do you want to do? Oops... Mother, help! ”

If you don't die, you won't die! Claude couldn't help but get angry when he heard it hit his mother's jewellery. Walking past him was a slap and pounding it on the floor. I was about to pick him up again and teach him a hard lesson. I didn't expect the goods to be quick. I jumped directly from the bottom of the dining table with a roll under my mother's feet. I hugged my mother's left foot and shouted for help!

“Gram, Claude! You, what do you want?” When Claude suddenly hit his brother, his mother, who had been fooled by the lies of the bastard, was shocked and hurried up to put Albert behind her.

“I don't want to do anything, Mother, I just want to beat him up. The last time he slapped Little Booker, I haven't talked to him yet. He's been lying and trying to cheat on your jewellery today. I can't stand it. I have to teach him a lesson! ”

“I'm not lying!” The shit is still stubborn hiding behind her mother's back.

“Humph, no lie. Where is the father now?” Claude asked with a grin.

“County, in the county jail...” This shipment is a wild guess. Previously, the felons in White Deer Town were sent to the county jail, and he thinks Mr. Morsan is no exception.

“Congratulations, wrong answer!” Claude kicked his foot against his ribs, and the goods bent over and bowed like a river shrimp.

Mother finally came back to God and said, "No, Claude, didn't you just get the message yesterday telling my father they're in the barracks right now? ”

“Yeah.” Claude pointed to the shit on the ground: “So he's been lying, and he claims to have accused his father of insurgency, and how much he hates his father, so much he wants to put his father to death. ”

Claude kicked him twice again, and the shit screamed and rolled around on the ground.

“Stop it, Claude, he's your brother...” Mother still can't watch the scene of her brother beating up her brother, although the two little Lori and Fat Pimp next to her were happy to see the colorful dance...

“Go home and lie to your mother and bully your brother and sister. I'll beat you up once I see you. I'll do what I say!” Claude scolded.
