When this kind of thing happened, it was natural to go and see it.Charlotte and the others quickly got up and followed Master Moxi to the scene to check.Of course, Charlotte and the others are not only out of good intentions, but as outsiders, they should not leave Master Moxi's sight, so as to eliminate suspicion.The second is that as a risk taker, I have trouble proving that I can earn money.
Where there is trouble, there will be trouble, this is the basic rule of adventurers.
When everyone came to the scene, it was a muddy slope.The scene was very messy after the rain, and these townspeople didn't have the awareness to protect the scene, so the whole scene was very messy.
A headless corpse in decent clothes fell in the muddy water.The muddy ground was covered with blood, and the places three steps away were covered with mud footprints, which were worthless.
According to Charlotte's observation, the blood was spread all over the place, and it was sprayed very evenly.It looked as if he was unprepared, and his head was cut off while standing there, and the body didn't even have time to fall down.The hot blood in the neck gushed out for several feet and scattered around, and finally the corpse fell down.
Charlotte opened up her focus senses and observed. There were messy footprints everywhere, and there was no valuable information left.
Master Moxi covered his nose with a handkerchief, approached him, and looked at the corpse carefully.Judging by his face, I am afraid it is indeed the tax official himself.Don't talk about the courage of Master Moxi, it's really not bad.
After a while, an old hunter was invited over. He carefully inspected the hands, feet and other parts of the corpse, then nodded to Master Moxie, and said with a bitter face, "It is indeed the tax collector Dill!"
Master Moxi was still thinking of luck, but now he has to admit that trouble is indeed coming.
This disgusting tax officer Dill, although he has many things, often makes trouble.But speaking of it, it's not bad, and it's not too harsh on taxes.Now that he died in Terry Town and had his head chopped off, he might have to give King's Landing a reasonable reason.
The people next to him talked about what happened to Master Moxi and the other people in the town.
It started with a farmer who was the first to discover the dead body on the ground.When the rain stopped, he was thinking of having a drink in the tavern when he saw a headless corpse lying in the mud on the road.
The three circles outside the scene were surrounded by people, and the crowd whispered the curse of the headless horseman.They claim that the headless horseman can't find his own head, so he will continue to wander in the wilderness, cutting off the heads of everyone he meets until he finds his own head.
Now the shortcoming of not having a priest in town was seen.If there is a priest, they can come out to appease people at this time, and if there are temples and priests in the town, everyone will not be so afraid of a headless horseman.
"What is the curse of the headless horseman! I don't believe it. I'm afraid some people had bad intentions, or had a grudge against the tax collector, so they killed him in the heavy rain, and chopped off his head, pretending to be The Headless Horseman did it. We must find him early and deliver him to King's Landing, otherwise we will be in big trouble!"
Master Moxi scanned the surrounding crowd fiercely, as if he wanted to kill the unknown murderer in the crowd with his eyes.
His eyes were fierce, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and the fat on his cheeks trembled slightly. It could be seen that he was gnashing his teeth so hard.
At this time, Master Moxi was not as pleasant as usual, and looked honest and pleasant.
This is his true face... A commoner can become a landlord with a large area of land in just 30 to [-] years, how can he be a pleasing dough ball?
The accumulation of capital is bloody and cruel...
After such a thing happened, how could the town be peaceful? Everyone was in panic, but this had little to do with Charlotte and the others.
The elder brother was still in a hurry to go home, and Charlotte was also in a hurry to forge the sword of the Brotherhood, and really didn't want to go into this muddy water.Whether it was the real headless horseman who did it, or someone faked the scene, they didn't want to participate.
But Charlotte still wanted to ask Master Moxie a question: Why did the tax collector run outside during the heavy rain?
As a result, Master Moxie embarrassedly told Charlotte one thing. It turned out that the tax collector had a somewhat illegitimate relationship with a widow in the town, so...
Supper was eaten by Charlotte and the others themselves, because Master Moser never came back.
In the evening, Charlotte and the others packed up and prepared to leave the next day.But Master Moxi came up, hoping that Charlotte and the others could stay and help investigate this matter.
"Mr. Charlotte, I know that you are all capable people, and you shouldn't have troubled you with such trivial matters. But you have also seen that the tax official was beheaded in the town, which really concerns the entire town of Terry The future of the people. If King's Landing is to blame, we really can't afford it!"
Without waiting for Charlotte and the others to speak, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I understand the rules. I will never let you help for nothing. No matter what the outcome is, we are willing to reward you with 20 gold dragons!"
20 big golden dragons, that's not a small amount!For such a backward town, it can be said that it is very sincere to be able to produce 20 big golden dragons.
I'm afraid that among the 20 big golden dragons, half of them came from Master Moxi.He is the largest landowner in the town, and his daughter runs a business in King's Landing.If this incident made King's Landing City harbor a grudge, it would be their family that would have the greatest impact.
But the 20 gold dragons are no longer in the eyes of Charlotte and the others. How can they delay their trip because of such a small amount of money?
But cannibals have short mouths and short hands.I have lived in someone's house for two days with good food and drink, and now they are in trouble to ask for help.Charlotte and the others couldn't just refuse straight away.
While Charlotte was thinking of saying something, the old servant rushed in again, and he shouted, "It's no good! Master, someone died again! They were still beheaded!"
Master Moxi's expression was extremely ugly now, he opened the door and ran out without saying a word.Charlotte and the others, you look at me, I look at you, and finally chose to go to the scene.
Just one afternoon after the rain, the road is still so muddy.
A headless corpse fell to the ground, blood spraying everywhere.A half-grown boy huddled aside, covered in mud, shivering.His face was pale, his lips were trembling constantly, and he was in a state of panic.
This time, Master Moxi was the first to get the news, so when Charlotte and the others came, the surrounding scene had not been destroyed.
The corpse in the linen robe fell to the ground, and it was obvious that there was a row of horseshoe marks around him...
Charlotte turned on her focus senses, and found an unusual color on the horseshoe prints, a floating gray color, very conspicuous in the blurred vision.
It was completely dark, and everyone surrounded the corpse with torches.The long series of horseshoe prints are so dazzling, as if stepping on people's hearts, it makes people shudder.
Master Moxi grabbed the big boy by the skirt and pulled him over. He asked viciously, "Were you by the side when the clerk died? Did you see how he died? Tell me! Who did it?"
The boy was already terribly frightened, but he was so tormented by Master Moxie that he almost passed out without rolling his eyes.
Seeing this, Charlotte quickly persuaded: "Master Moxi, don't worry. Let him speak slowly and tell all the details."
Master Moxi suppressed his anger and let go of the boy.Charlotte used the ability to communicate, comforted the boy, and asked, "Don't be afraid, it's safe here. Now tell me everything you see, and no one will blame you."
Under Charlotte's comfort, the boy stabilized a bit.He stared at the headless corpse on the ground in horror, and said intermittently: "Master and I...have been at the sheriff's house...they are discussing tax officer Dill!"
Then he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said: "When it was dark, I walked back with the master...Suddenly, suddenly, I heard the sound of horseshoes! Is there anyone riding a horse in this town? As soon as I turned around! A black shadow rushed over, and then, the master's headless body fell to the ground..."
"Bastard! Didn't you see who did it?" Said that Master Moxi wanted to catch the boy again, but was stopped by Charlotte.
"Don't be afraid. No one will hurt you. Tell us now, what does that shadow look like? Do you know him?"
The boy's face became even paler, and his whole body was shaking, "I, I saw... It was the Dullahan, it was the Dullahan who did it! He also stuck the master's head with a long sword, and then Riding away. I saw him put the master's head in..."
Charlotte checked the marks on the ground, but there was a dent...
Could it be that the Headless Horseman is real?Or, did someone carefully forge the scene?
