Lord of the North

( ) "Is the message blocked?!"

Jason's tone was stern and dignified. This kind of thing must not be spread, otherwise the prestige he had built up with great difficulty will collapse.

"I have already issued a gag order, and I have left all the soldiers present there to seal off the scene. No one should have discovered this matter yet."

Gary hurriedly replied that he had already realized this after arriving at the scene, so he immediately controlled the few mercenaries who reported the incident, and left all the soldiers who went with him there.

"Hassan, send someone to find that village immediately, and control the soldiers present and the scene. No one is allowed to leave until I get there!"

"Yes, my lord."

Hassan hurriedly bowed his head and agreed, and then walked out quickly. This incident sounded a wake-up call for him. The Black Crow was not as reliable as she expected, and if this matter was not handled well, he and the Black Crow were in Jason's room. There will be a bad impression in my heart.

"Where are the mercenaries?"

After giving Hassan the order, Jason looked at Gary who didn't dare to stand up again, and now he didn't have the heart to let him stand up and speak.

"Just wait outside to be summoned by the adults."

"Call them in." Jason's face softened a little, calming down the intense anxiety in his heart. This happened too suddenly and at the wrong time.

He was just about to enter the White Sword Province recently, and he had already sent a letter to Zola some time ago, agreeing to let her go to Iron Tooth Town to discuss this matter, who would have thought...

After a while, the three mercenaries were brought in by four guards. They looked worried. At the beginning of this incident, they just wanted to exchange this information for a bounty, but they didn't expect to get involved in such a big incident. .

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be greedy for that petty gain. Wouldn't it be good to hang this matter high?

Looking at the heavily armed soldiers around and the young man in the red robe with piercing eyes, they were a little apprehensive and regretful.

"Tell me the whole process." Jason leaned forward slightly, his tone extremely indifferent: "Don't miss a single detail."

thump!

The three of them were so frightened by Jason's tone that they immediately fell to their knees, their lips trembling, but they couldn't say a word.

Jason couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene, how dare he become a mercenary with such courage? I'm afraid they won't be the first to turn around and run away when their employer is threatened?

"Don't be nervous, speak slowly, and I will be rewarded if you make it clear."

In desperation, Jason could only use things like gold coins to appease these softies, so he waved his hand, and immediately walked over to a waiter, and handed him a small bag.

Weighing the money bag in his hand, Jason slowly opened it and poured out all the gold coins inside. Under the greedy eyes of the three mercenaries, dozens of gold coins were piled up together.

He has always believed in the saying that gold coins can turn a person as fragile as a sheep into a fearless beast.

Sure enough, the three of them stopped shaking after hearing this sentence, and they looked at each other and saw the surprise and greed in each other's eyes.

"Me! My lord, let me speak!"

"Get out of the way, I was the first to discover it! Of course I should say it!"

...

The three of them blushed for the gold coins in the hall, and almost started a fight, which made the high-ranking Jason's face darker and darker.

"Shut up!"

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and he let out a low growl. When he said this, the guards around him put their hands on the hilt of their swords and took a step forward in unison.

It's disrespectful to Jason to be loud here, and it's almost insulting to them.

The entire hall fell silent in an instant, and the three mercenaries huddled together like frightened chickens, looking at them in horror.

"Okay, let's talk slowly one by one."

Jason waved away the unfriendly guards, looked at the three people and said calmly, and then pointed to the person on the left: "Let's start with you."

Just counting the joy he called, if he couldn't explain this matter clearly, Jason might settle the score with him.

"Yes... yes, my lord."

The man first looked at the gold coins in Jason's hand, and couldn't help but licked his lips. If he could get the money, even if the three of them shared it equally, it would be enough for him to squander it for a long time.

"The villain's name is..."

"I'm not in the mood to know your name."

There was a dangerous light in Jason's eyes, and he had a lot of careful thoughts in his heart.

"Yes Yes!"

The mercenary looked flustered and hurriedly lowered his head to agree. He actually wanted to hold Jason to remember his little thoughts in it just now. In the future, he will have a reliance on the iron teeth collar. Unfortunately, Jason doesn't like this kind of waste, let alone The mood to remember his name.

Then the three of them honestly described the situation in that mountain village one by one. It turned out that they found out that the situation in that mountain village was two days ago.

At that time, they wanted to go up the mountain to hunt some wild animals to improve their food, and when they passed by there at night, they planned to go in for a night.

But they didn't expect that none of the households in the whole village had a light on, so out of curiosity, they opened the door of one family, and found that all four members of the family died on the bed.

And the appearance of death was extremely horrific, like a dried corpse. At that time, one of them peed in his pants in fright.

After that, several people escaped from the village overnight, but they lost their way in a hurry. They returned to Tieya Town the next day to notify the security team, and took people back to the mountain village to check, only to find that it was not just that one family, but People in the whole village died tragically at home.

Jason knew everything after that.

"Mummy..."

Jason narrowed his eyes, have these people been dead for a while? In that case, things will be troublesome.

"Stay with them first, don't treat them badly."

Jason put the gold coins on the table into the purse and threw them in front of the three people kneeling on the ground, and gave orders to the guards on the side.

"yes."

These three mercenaries can't go anywhere for the time being until the matter is found out.

"Captain Gary, you don't have to take full responsibility for this matter, take me to the scene to check first."

Then he said to Gary, who was kneeling aside and bowing his head, that although the patrol team was under the jurisdiction of the security team, it was impossible for them to take care of every corner of the territory.

Not to mention that the village is still in the mountains, but there will definitely be punishments, at least for such a big incident, Gary's captain position will be temporarily moved.

"Yes, my lord!"

Gary stood up slowly, his eyes full of gratitude. He knew that Jason was forgiving him once for the sake of his hard work, but he would not be so lucky next time.

Not long after, more than a dozen cavalrymen left Iron Tooth Town and galloped towards the northwest.
