Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

The man and woman, disheveled, were dragged out of the windmill, and what had happened was self-evident.

Su Li felt that if he didn't speak up and let Knight Friedrich continue whipping them, the two would be beaten to death on the spot.

So Su Li raised his hand, stopped Friedrich's rage, and said, "Knight Friedrich, stop for a moment. I think this matter may not be that simple. Aren't you curious why Gergil is around the notice board? He knows his wife is having an affair with your son in the windmill."

Even if he were a cuckold and didn't care about this kind of thing, he should be hiding aside and peeking, not running to a place several miles away.

Friedrich paused upon hearing this and looked at Gergil, raising his horsewhip and pointing at him, asking, "I'll give you a chance to live. Tell me what's going on, and don't try to challenge my last bit of patience with lies!"

Gergil hurriedly wailed and replied, "Lord Friedrich, I, I am innocent! I want to accuse, accuse Henry of raping my wife."

"Rape!" Friedrich's anger soared: "You bastard, you dare to lie to me! If it's true, why didn't you go up and stop him, instead of running so far away!"

Gergil quickly retorted, "Henry is a knight, how dare I go forward to stop his violence, he would beat me to death. I can only make it public and ask others to uphold justice for me."

Friedrich turned to look at Henry, suppressing his anger and asked, "You scoundrel, what do you have to say?"

Henry knew his father's brutality well. If he were truly convicted of rape, he would definitely clean house himself to maintain the family's honor.

So he quickly looked at Gergil and shouted, "Nonsense, Alisa and I are in love with each other. You're clearly trying to blackmail me for 250 gold coins!"

It even involves blackmail?

Friedrich couldn't wait to whip these three bastards to death. He didn't dare to imagine what others would say if this matter became widely known without Master Su Li's intervention.

But fortunately, this matter did not escalate, and Friedrich could still maintain fairness. Finally, he pointed the horsewhip at Alisa and asked, "Tell me, which of them is telling the truth."

Alisa's attitude will determine the life and death of both men.

Alisa endured the pain, turned her head to look at Henry, who was dressed in flamboyant and exaggerated clothes like a proud rooster, and then looked at her unremarkable, gloomy, and capable husband. After hesitating for a few seconds, she lowered her head and replied, "Henry forced me."

Henry immediately widened his eyes and struggled violently, stepping forward to grab Alisa's shoulders, shaking her excitedly: "Alisa! Alisa! Don't be afraid that he will abuse you again, tell the truth! Didn't you say that he often abuses you, that's why you fell in love with me?"

"Have you forgotten that you showed me the bruises and scars on your body? He abuses you, why are you still protecting him."

Su Li clicked his tongue with a smile, this matter is interesting, he had to intervene: "Alisa, it's easy to verify whether you have been subjected to domestic violence. Just ask your neighbors, and you will know."

Alisa hesitated for a moment, but still insisted on her original attitude: "Gergil did abuse me, but it doesn't change the fact that Henry forced me."

Henry was completely desperate, he roared angrily: "Bitch, so you were plotting against me from the beginning! This was a despicable trap set by you from the start! Where am I not as good as him?"

Alisa was silent, but obviously had no intention of divorcing Gergil.

Su Li asked suspiciously, "He abuses you, and you still don't get a divorce. The only possibility I can think of is that he... is very strong in that area?"

Alisa looked at Gergil, did not nod, but did not refute.

Then the result is obvious. After all, this kind of thing is really difficult to sort out, and it is difficult to say what is right and wrong. Put on your clothes and call it domestic violence, take off your clothes and maybe it's just a couple's fun.

The only clown is Henry! It's one thing to be played with intellectually, but also to have a man's capital trampled underfoot.

Although Gergil and Alisa are suspected of being a honey trap(仙人跳: a type of scam), since the two have unified their statements, then Henry's guilt is clear!

Su Li looked at Henry like a defeated dog, resisted the urge to sneer, shook his head regretfully, and looked at Knight Friedrich, asking, "Knight Friedrich, how do you want to resolve this?"

Knight Friedrich immediately raised his whip and lashed out, directly penetrating three inches into Henry's flesh. His chest's left ribs were broken, and without treatment, he would bleed to death in minutes.

Just as Su Li thought the matter was over, Knight Friedrich suddenly rushed towards Gergil and Alisa like a beast, throwing out violent punches. Instantly, the two were hit and flew out like broken kites. The thick tree trunk behind Gergil snapped under the impact, making a harsh cracking sound!

Su Li's eyes widened instantly. This was the first time since his transmigration that he had witnessed the full power of an elite knight's strike. At this moment, time seemed to stand still. In the face of such powerful force, the two commoners' bones were almost shattered, their bodies were directly pierced, blood splattered, and it was extremely tragic.

Su Li's thoughts were too naive, continuing the thinking of his previous life while ignoring that this world is completely different. Conviction doesn't require so much evidence. As long as the knight deems you guilty, he can start a massacre.

A honey trap(仙人跳: a type of scam) might be completely unsolvable in the previous life, especially since female rights activists can revoke sexual consent, so those who are falsely accused have a hard time overturning the case.

But in this world, as long as the knight believes you are a setup, he can hang both parties!

Watching the angry Friedrich hang the three bodies on the tree with ropes, and then whipping their corpses in anger, Su Li finally recovered from the shock and immediately sent Knight Schwartz to stop him.

"Knight Friedrich, are you being so radical without considering the consequences?"

"What consequences?" Friedrich couldn't listen at all in his rage: "These wastes, these despicable bastards, even in court, I would sentence them all to be hanged."

"But... you are no longer a court judge now," Su Li reminded: "You must be clear about the consequences of beating others to death, right?"

"Consequences? Compensation is enough! If a knight kills a serf, he only needs to compensate his master with a donkey or four sheep." Knight Friedrich's anger had not subsided, and listening to Su Li's voice, he couldn't help but glare at him. If he dared to nag, he wouldn't mind teaching this self-righteous trainee knight a lesson.

Su Li calmly said, "First of all, Gergil and Alisa are not serfs, they are both free people, and the compensation amount is higher than that of serfs. Secondly, Henry is a trainee knight, and his life does not only belong to your family. He is also a member of the Purple Thorn Castle. You can think about what the result would be if an outsider killed a Purple Thorn Castle knight? That could even trigger a war."

"If the family loses a trainee knight, do you think the court will hold you accountable and impose a high fine? Most importantly, will it dig into the hidden secrets?"

Friedrich calmed down upon hearing this. Although trainee knights do not have a high status, they are the nobles' serfs. If ordinary farmers lose their serfs, they will still hold the knight accountable. How could the nobles not hold someone accountable for the loss of their precious wealth?

And once they are held accountable, the hidden secrets will probably be difficult to hide. After all, there are three trainee knights and one elite knight who witnessed everything! Then he and his family will be shamed by this!

Friedrich took a deep breath, staring at Su Li with his eyes, and asked, "What can you do?"

Su Li said calmly, "The solution is very simple. As long as they don't belong to the family and have an owner who is willing not to pursue the matter, then everything can be turned over. You know, Knight Friedrich, I have the right to conscript 30 servants, and Alisa and Gergil are within this conscription range."

"But what about Henry? He is a trainee knight and is not in this conscription range," Friedrich asked, frowning.

But Su Li did not respond to this question at all, but stared at Friedrich, and calmly talked, saying, "If I am the court judge, then it is very reasonable to judge them."

Friedrich immediately reacted. Although Henry is not in this range, if the entire Hohenzollern family joins Master Su Li's pioneering territory, then Henry will also be a member of the pioneering territory!

He was silent for a moment, and finally knelt on one knee to Su Li, solemnly swearing: "Master Su Li, I, Friedrich Hohenzollern, along with the family's formal knight, my son William Hohenzollern, formal knight my daughter Sophie Hohenzollern, and trainee knight Henry, swear to offer you our loyalty. We will always be your loyal guards. Also, please allow me to presumptuously recommend myself to serve as the court judge of your pioneering territory."
