I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 16 Interrogation

Although it was only half an hour, the purple that originally accounted for 1/3 of the aperture in the back of Hansen's head is now nearly half of it, and the growth rate is very fast.

Judging from Kaios' perception of Hansen's emotions at this time, he believes that these rising purples should be more of fear than disgust.

In this world, nobles who already had a certain history and property, whether they were servants, bodyguards or contract servants, were mostly selected from ordinary citizens in their territories.

Therefore, once these servants and guards make mistakes, they are very afraid of affecting the family members in the territory or other positions.Although the general punishment will not even sit, but more or less will have an impact.

That's why the "crazy knight" rushed into the manor that day. Those servants and guards, no matter whether they had a soul contract, no matter whether they had magic or aura, no matter what color the halo behind their heads was, they didn't choose to run away, but immediately attacked them. , Blocking, because they all know that once they shrink back on such a major matter, they don't need the punishment of the soul contract. The rules of the nobles are enough to make their lives worse than death, and their families will also be implicated.

Those citizens who are attached to the nobles are essentially like slaves, not to mention freedom, even their lives are not under their own control, and the lords can control everything about them at will.

On the contrary, those who were favored because of their talents in cultivation and had a soul subordination contract with the lord, although their lives were further controlled by the lord, their status and life immediately changed qualitatively.

These are also the judgments Keos made through observation and communication in the past two days-it seems simple, but it allows him to understand many behaviors that the original cognitive system may not be able to understand.

Like now, for Hansen, he thought he was arrested to see the master because of speaking ill of the master.

As for speaking ill of the lord behind his back, in this world's aristocratic values, the range of charges and punishments is very flexible, depending on the lord's attitude and the sensitivity of the bad words.

From Hansen's reaction, he knew that the bad things he said were extremely sensitive, and might directly trigger the top punishment—his family members and even those who had a good relationship with him would be unlucky with him.

"Then tell me, why did I call you here?" Keos said, his voice was flat, and there was no emotion.

"It's the villain who doesn't know how to live or die, who doesn't know how to be grateful. He said something behind his back... to fabricate the master's rumors. The villain... deserves death." Hansen said with a forehead.

"What exactly did you say, repeat it."

"The little man dare not."

"If I tell you to repeat it, repeat it. Don't lie."

"Yes..." Hansen had no choice but to briefly repeat his conversation in the kitchen, but he didn't repeat what the young servant said, especially the most crucial sentence.

"In this rumor, what happened to the two chief servants of Woda and Tek's family?" Keos asked leisurely.

Hansen originally wanted to say "I don't know", but he seemed to feel that he couldn't explain it like this. After hesitating for a moment, he simply gritted his teeth and said, "I'm dead..."

"Did you make up this rumor?"

This time Hansen hesitated for a longer time, and after a while, he said in a trembling voice: "Yes..."

Hansen, who was kneeling on the ground, had already closed his eyes, waiting for the final verdict, but unexpectedly, Keos asked again: "What are you in charge of in the kitchen?"

"The villain is responsible for handling the ingredients, oh, mainly vegetables and fruits." Although Hansen didn't quite understand why he asked these questions at this time, after answering, he hurriedly added: "When the villain is working, he must He did his best and never made mistakes.”

"Are you usually only responsible for handling ingredients?"

"Yes... the villain's cooking skills are not good enough, and he can't take the lead for the time being. Uh, sometimes when Mr. Chris can't leave, the villain will help him to buy vegetables and fruits."

"How many times have you been out in the past three days?"

"Once, oh, the day that 'mad knight' of the Kendall family went crazy, and the villain happened to go to the market to buy."

"On the way there, or in the market, did anyone talk about me?"

"Master! The villain has never told anyone outside about the matter of the master, nor has he spread rumors... The villain deserves death, but the villain is loyal to the master and the Li family!"

"Well, you go down first." Keos said.

Hearing this, Hansen couldn't believe his ears. He raised his head and looked at his eyes. After waiting for a while, he said, "The villain retreats first?"

"Do I need someone to carry you away?" Keos said angrily.

"Thank you, master, thank you, master..."

After Hansen went out gratefully, Kaios told Salveira: "Find someone to watch him, be careful, and then ask Harvey to bring Chu He over."

"Yes." Salveira said, and couldn't help asking: "He didn't tell the truth, why don't I ask again for the master?"

Of course Keos knew what she meant by "interrogation". Like Pete, interrogation meant direct "torture".It's not his Holy Mother, but he has emotional perception and favorable impression aperture observation, which is used to judge whether what others say is true or false, and sometimes it may be more effective than direct punishment.

It seemed that his conversation with Hansen had no results, and he didn't even ask the most critical question directly, but in fact he had already obtained a lot of information.

Keos waved his hand: "No, I have my own arrangements."

Soon, the contracted servant and light bodyguard Chu He was brought into the study. The halo behind his head was 1/10 yellow, and the others were all gray.

Because he was also the guard who was injured in the "crazy knight incident", Keos remembered him and visited him himself.

He remembered that when Chu He was wreaking havoc in the "Crazy Knight" manor at the beginning, the aperture behind him was all gray with a little bit of purple. yellow.

If you only use the favorability circle to make a judgment, there is no doubt that Hansen is more like the internal agent and traitor than Chu He, but when he was testing Hansen before, he did not have any abnormal reaction, and even took the initiative to leave him from the manor The time point is linked to the "crazy knight incident".

"Little man Chu He, I have seen the master." As soon as Chu He entered the door, he knelt on one knee and saluted, showing great respect.

"Well, let's get up, how is your recovery?" Kaios said kindly.

The reason for calling him over was to reward him, so this meeting naturally seemed a little joyful and not nervous at all. After all, Keos had visited these injured guards more than once before.

"Thanks to the master, Doctor Grossman's spells are superb, and the villain's injuries are all healed!" Chu He's gratitude was very real, at least Kaios didn't feel a little fake.

"As long as it's all over, you've performed very well this time." Kaios nodded with a smile, and suddenly changed his voice: "By the way, before the 'crazy knight' broke in that day, you were away from the manor for a while? I heard Commander Lu said, you were supposed to patrol outside the manor with a few other guards, but you walked away halfway?"

Chu He was obviously stunned for a moment. Although his expression was expressionless, Kaios clearly felt that his mood was changing rapidly, from liking to doubt and then quickly turning to nervousness.

"The villain is in a hurry to urinate, so I went away to relieve myself."

"Your urination time is not short?"

"The villain didn't find the patrol team right away when he came back, so it took a while..."

"I already know about you." Keos interrupted him.

Chu He looked up at him in surprise: "The villain doesn't understand." But he was very nervous.

Moreover, Keos also saw the halo behind his head, those yellows were fading rapidly, and soon turned into a halo of all gray, and even purple began to emerge.

"Who are you sending messages to?" Keos stared at him and asked quickly.

"My lord, why don't I understand what you're saying, I didn't..." Sweat beaded out of Chu He's forehead, and the aperture behind his head was already 1/10 purple.

Keos interrupted him again: "I know you are just a person who obeys orders. I can understand that you can't be the master. You tell me that although I can't guarantee that I won't kill you, your family will never be hurt." implicated, otherwise..."

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly found that Chu He's emotions disappeared all at once, and the purple color of the aperture behind his head also disappeared, and the entire aperture became completely gray.

"No! Salveira, stop him!" Keos ordered.

At the same time, the whites of Chu He's eyes were bloodshot, and a dazzling white light burst out from his body instantly, and then the white light quickly turned red again, and his mood became crazy and violent.
