Chapter 58 Torture

"Who?" Lyle quickly looked at the source of the voice and saw that it was a tall man. He knew the other party, but he could not remember the other party's name. This was one of the guards of the woman named Shirley. This one was hired by her locally (it was easy to hire such bodyguards near Bracian City). According to the contract, he had to obey Shirley's orders. It was precisely because of this that even if Eo seized the dominance, the guard still obeyed Shirley's instructions.

Of course, this doesn't matter. Now that woman has no money or power, she can't do anything.

"Is that woman looking for me?" Lyle asked lazily. The other party did not answer, which meant that he had agreed to this question.

"Okay, then I'll go see her." Lyle poured another glass of wine for his glass and said. "You go back first and say I'll come soon."

It's almost dark now, so I guess Brother Io has already done the matter. Lyle drank the wine in a sip of the cheers, with a little drunkenness, thinking so.

It was still the office building on the outskirts of the city, but the original two guards were gone. The facts proved that the existence of these two guards was redundant - because even now, there were no idle people coming here to inquire about the news. At least when Lyle came over, there were no other figures nearby.

He pushed the door and went in, took two steps at a time, and came to the office upstairs.

The woman was in the office. At this moment, she was sitting on a chair with a high backrest, facing Lyle.

Even at this time, you should use this method to show your superiority? Lyle smiled in his heart. And he showed his smile on his face without reservation. Now is different from the past. The woman who was once arrogant is nothing, just staying here. Oh, by the way, if Eo's plan goes well, then she may have to be responsible for cleaning up the mess. The credit is Eo's, so she has to deal with the trouble.

"I've heard that Ashu Rufate won the game," Shirley said.

"This is no longer news." Lyle shrugged and replied. "Anyone with ears in the city knows it." He pretended to have a special tone. "The fiancé of the two sisters Katyuya and Para of the Griffin family, Mr. Asu Ruffat from the South, has won the Jockey Club this year. Then Para was designated by him as the Queen of Love and Beauty this year."

"What do Io plan to do?" There was a obviously suppressed anger in Shirley's voice.

"What to do? Cold salad!" Lyle laughed. "It doesn't matter. They are just fiancées. If the fiancé dies, the fiancée will not have the right to inherit the inheritance."

"That idiot Io is going to..."

"Yes, I plan to kill him." Lyle pretended to be indifferent. "Anyway, the sheriff is from our side."

"Silly man, is he brainless?! What else can he do besides solving problems with violence!"

"No matter what he knows," Lyle answered proudly. "Now he has the final say! Besides, as long as you can solve the problem, is it important to have the means? I said, it is better for you to meddle in other people's business!"

After saying this, he turned around and left without any concern for the feeling of the woman behind him. This feeling was really great. After riding a horse for a long time, Lyle still reminisces about this feeling. The woman who once stood tall and called him around and called him around and acted like a servant can now be scolded by him like this. This feeling, coupled with the three-pointed drunkenness, makes people feel a little ecstatic.

Lyle sat on the back of his snow-green horse and looked at the sky. The sun was half covered by the horizon. He might have spent the night in the city today. He ran errands for Eo during this period, so he had no time to meet those lovers. While he was thinking about this, he saw a group of people discussing something seriously near the city gate.

Lyle was quite far apart, but she could still hear words such as "sanction", "accident", "dead", and "ominous". Judging from the dress of these people, they came back from the Jockey Club, they were all from other places, or at least Lyle didn't know.

"Dear friends," Lyle asked with a rather polite attitude. "I had no intention of eavesdropping, but I seemed to have heard some bad words just now. What happened to the Jockey Club today—I mean the Spring Festival?

"A bad accident," replied a stranger. "While hunting, a small collapse occurred. Several people were crushed...including Sheriff Falaud."

A beam of thunder hit Lyle's head in an instant. He struggled, fighting the news that made him dizzy for several seconds before he could continue speaking.

"They are all... dead?"

"I was crushed by half a mountain and of course I died." The man replied. "There were many people organized in the venue. After digging for a long time, two people were dug out, one of them was the Sheriff Falaud. They said that there were probably more than one buried inside, and it would take three or five days to dig out."

"Did you see the body?" Lyle asked quickly.

"See." Lyle's attitude made the man hesitate a little. "I was lifted out... but my body was in two parts."

A chill climbed up to his back. The drunkenness just now disappeared. He knew very well about the ambush. All ten people were equipped with muskets... That Ashu Rufate...

"I'll ask, how is Eshu Rufate like this year's champion?"

"How is it? He's so good." The man glanced at him suspiciously. "I also saw that he was planning to come on the field to help dig, but in the end he gave up because of insufficient tools."

"What happened later?"

"Later? Later I came back. After that accident, I didn't have much interest in what happened below."

Ashu Rufate is still alive, but Io and Falod are dead. Lyle is not an idiot, and he immediately understands the truth of this matter.

...

The cold liquid penetrated into the skin, and Io woke up in a drowsy state.

Where is this? What's wrong with me... He wanted to move, but found that his hands and feet could not move freely.

More cold liquids flow. In early spring, the temperature is actually completely supported by the sun. During the day, the temperature will become quite high and even require shade, but in fact the water temperature is still cold.

The chill drove away the drowsiness in his mind. The next second, Io remembered everything. By the way, at that time I planned to shoot Ash Rufate to death...

As they fired, Ashu Rufate hid himself in his white cloak. Io didn't understand why he did this at first, but he understood immediately. As soon as the gunshot stopped, Ashu Rufate pulled out his hunting knife and rushed over. The cloak was magical, or specially made, enough to withstand the bullets of the musket.

Next was a unilateral massacre. The musket after the bullet was shot was actually a short stick, which was even worse than a short stick because of its shape. Ashu Rufate's movements were as fast as a leopard. He had heard of Ashu Rufate's combat skills from Lyle, and it turned out that Eo thought it was a bit exaggerated - because the loser always tried to exaggerate the strength of his opponent to cover up his incompetence. But at that moment, Eo knew that Lyle did not exaggerate, and could not even explain Eo's strength carefully. In just a moment, the four people in front of Eo fell under the hunting knife. Eo didn't even have time to pull out the short knife beside him (it would be too conspicuous and outrageous if he hunted with a sword), and a fierce blow fell on his head, causing him to lose consciousness in an instant.

Wait, I've been through it... Then now...

Io tried to turn his body, turned half of his head, and saw Ash Rufate's face. The scar on his nose was particularly clear.

Ashrufate was holding an old bucket in his hand. He just now poured the water from the bucket on Io's head and woke him up.

"Where is this?" Io asked strugglingly.

"Oh, my estate—to be more specific, a pigpen in my fiancé's estate."

Only then did Io find that there were "hum" and "hum" pig humming around him, and there was also a very pungent smell.

"As for why you are here," Eshu Rufate continued, "this is a long story. After you faint, you are thrown into an inconspicuous pit - it is easier to find a pit covered by a bush in the mountain - and then put it in a big leather bag, stuffed into a carriage, and then quietly got it here. I can guarantee that no one saw it during this process."

"If you want to scream, just applaud." Ashu Rufat chuckled. "But I suggest you don't have to. It's very remote here, but the swineherd asked for leave again. I believe it's useless to call you through your throat. No one except the pig will hear your screams."

"What's wrong with me...my companions? What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything. I just did it according to your plan." Ashu Rufate threw the bucket casually. "Of course, the object was reversed. By the way, I would like to remind you that there are really a lot of soil and rocks that collapsed, and it's more than enough to bury seven or eight people. In fact, even burying twenty or thirty people is enough."

"Do you think no one will pursue you if you do such a thing?"

"Who pursues it, how to investigate it? This is just an accident of mountain collapse. Just as you said, it was already three or five days after being dug out. Who can tell that it was a knife wound? By the way, I also treated the wounds first to make sure they looked like they were caused by falling off the cliff." Ash Rufate said.

"What do you want to do?" Eo finally realized his biggest mistake and underestimated the enemy. Fortunately, the other party did not kill him. As long as he is alive, there is still a chance!

"What do I want to do? Actually, I'm just asking a few small questions. I want to know why you do this... In fact, we really don't need such complicated tape. Just open the skylight and say something. Who told you to come and what you want!"

"Why should I say?" Io sneered. He tried it, and Ashu Rufate tied him tightly, making him unable to move. But since the other party did not kill him on the spot, it means that the other party also had concerns. This concern may be his only chance.
