Although Locke felt sorry for the two knights who committed suicide, he quickly calmed down and said to Gavin:

"Are you satisfied now? The two knights who offended you are all dead. You can finally vent your anger."

Gavin's mind was still a little confused, but he also heard that Locke's tone was not very good, so he subconsciously retorted:

"What do you mean I am satisfied? It's not me who asked them to kill them. They committed suicide. What does it have to do with me?"

As Gavin spoke, he gradually realized that Locke was trying to put the responsibility for the death of the two knights on himself.

He quickly denied it, and then continued:

"The guards present saw it. In order not to leak information, one of them hit the sword and the other stabbed his neck with a dagger. It has nothing to do with us."

"And you heard it too. I have just approved your proposal. I am not going to kill them. I just want to interrogate them for information. Who knew they would commit suicide directly?"

Locke looked at Gavin's anxious expression, curled his lips without comment, and then said lightly:

"It's useless for you to tell me this. You should save it for explaining to the Chamber of Commerce and other nobles."

Gavin glared at Locke when he heard it.

"Even if we explain, it's the two of us who explain it together. Don't forget that you are also one of the leaders of the caravan and you have to take responsibility for this matter. The two of us are now on the same boat. No one can escape responsibility."

Locke knew Gavin would say this. In order to reduce his own responsibility, Gavin would definitely drag him into the water.

And he was also happy to be dragged into the water by Gavin. Only in this way could Gavin feel that Locke was on the same side as him, and what he said would be more likely to be recognized by Gavin.

He deliberately pretended to have a very ugly face and said:

"It is obviously you who believed in that Knight Tom, so we... Forget it, let's not talk about this. Just like you said, now is not the time to shirk responsibility. Let's think about what to do first."

"Now that the two knights have all committed suicide, we have no witnesses. It is difficult to hold Rose Town responsible based on a family emblem. At that time, they may not recognize the identities of the two knights, and we can't do anything about them."

"After all, Rose Town may have learned that we are going to abandon them. They will definitely not be as respectful to us as before, and may even be hostile to us and resist us. And we can't take action against the nobles. It seems that it is difficult to get this batch of supplies back."

Gavin was relieved to see that Locke did not mean to push all the responsibility to himself.

He and Locke are the leaders of this caravan and directors of the Chamber of Commerce. They have a lot of say. As long as they can cooperate with each other, they can easily push the responsibility onto others and reduce their own punishment.

Presumably Locke is aware of this, so he compromised.

Since Locke is willing to cooperate, then this matter is simple. Gavin said in a relaxed tone:

"We can't do anything to Rose Town, but Baron Bach of Ironthorn Town can always do something to them. We just need to tell Baron Bach what happened. Isn't he worried about what reason to go to war with Rose Town? We will give him a reason now."

"Besides, in the Kingdom of Arad, who doesn't know that the family emblem is an important symbol of the nobles' identity? Those nobles carry the emblem with them all day long, isn't it because they are afraid of losing the emblem? So this emblem is enough to prove that they are knights of Rose Town."

After listening to Gavin's words, Locke He nodded in agreement, then shook his head and said:

"But I still can't figure out how Rose Town got the courage to attack our caravan, and we have been trading with them for so long, and I haven't heard that there is a talent like Tom in Rose Town."

"Besides, they are carrying out such a dangerous mission and carrying the family emblem with them, which always seems to be a bit of an attempt to cover up the truth."

"Do you think there is a possibility that these people are also pretending to be Rose Town, trying to divert our attention to Rose Town, so as to clear the suspicion of the real mastermind behind the scenes."

Gavin's face changed when he heard this, and then he immediately denied Locke's idea.

"Impossible, these knights are definitely from Rose Town. You just said that they may have learned that we are going to abandon Rose Town and invest in Iron Thorn Town, so they will attack our supplies."

"No matter how much they fear our Guanhai City, they will not allow Iron Thorn Town to occupy their territory. They will definitely rise up in resistance."

"And the nobles will carry their family crests with them. This Knight Tom may think that he can escape, so he brought the family crest with him. You just saw it. If Watson hadn't reacted quickly, they would have really taken us hostage and escaped."

After Gavin finished speaking, he whispered to Locke:

"In any case, we must confirm the identities of these knights, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Baron Bach and the Chamber of Commerce, and Rose Town is the best choice. You should understand what I mean."

Locke certainly knew what Gavin meant. Their most important task now is to find the mastermind behind the scenes. As for whether this mastermind is real, it doesn't matter, as long as the evidence points to it.

Gavin must have noticed that something was wrong with Tom and the others. Although he was a little frightened just now, after he calmed down, he quickly realized the problems that Locke had just mentioned.

This is also the reason why Locke spoke out these questions. If he hadn't spoken out, Gavin would have kept thinking about these questions in his mind, and maybe he would have figured out the truth.

But when he brought these issues up, Gavin was the mastermind behind locking up Rose Town. He would definitely try his best to deny Locke. Only in this way could they reduce their responsibility and shift the main responsibility to Rose Town.

When Gavin denies Locke's statement, he will gradually convince himself. After all, if he doesn't believe it himself, how can he use this statement to convince others.

In this way, Gavin will no longer have the mind to think about the previous problems, and he has already killed Rose Town in front of so many people as the mastermind behind it. Even if he discovers the truth in the future, he will not say it again and slap himself in the face. .

Locke said those problems to block all Gavin's escape routes and make him believe that Rose Town was the mastermind behind it.

Now it seems that his goal has been achieved. Gavin's eager look just now is not fake. He is afraid that what Locke said will reduce the suspicion of Rose Town.

If Baron Bach and the Chamber of Commerce feel that Rose Town is not really behind the scenes, they will be in trouble.

So after Gavin said that, he stared at Locke until Locke nodded to show that he understood what he meant, and his expression became less nervous.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not stupid. All the existing evidence points to Rose Town. Why should I ask for trouble? I'm just afraid that Rose Town will use the problems just now as an excuse to deny the fact that they robbed our supplies."

Locke opened his mouth to explain.

"Hmph, what's the use of their denial. As long as our Chamber of Commerce and Tiethorn Town both believe that they are the masterminds behind it, then Rose Town must be the mastermind behind it. It's useless for anyone to deny it."

Gavin snorted coldly, he really didn't care what Rose Town thought.

Not to mention that there is a high possibility that Rose Town is the mastermind behind the scenes. Even if they have no suspicion at all, as long as Guanhai City and Tiethorn Town believe that they are the masterminds behind the scenes, then Rose Town must be the one. This is the right of the strong. .

"Having said that, we should be careful. It is best not to let outsiders see these two corpses. Anyway, we already have the family crest as evidence, so there is no need to keep these two corpses."

Locke looked at the two corpses on the ground and said. What he meant by this was very simple. If Rose Town was really not the mastermind behind the scenes, then the two corpses were not evidence, but a flaw.

Since they are planning to kill Qiangweizhen as the mastermind behind it, these two corpses cannot be kept.

Of course, Locke's move was also to prevent anyone from using these two corpses to find Yinghuo Town's head.

"What corpse? We have never seen the knight's corpse at all. Didn't those knights all run away? This coat of arms fell out when they ran away."

Gavin raised his eyebrows at Locke.

Locke's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly when he saw this. This guy wanted to take the opportunity to absolve them of the responsibility of forcing the knight to commit suicide.

It seems that he said he was not afraid of the nobles making trouble for him, but in fact he was still afraid of taking responsibility and simply refused to admit it.

"Yes, those knights ran too fast, and we didn't catch any of them. Fortunately, they accidentally dropped the family crest, otherwise we wouldn't be able to confirm the mastermind behind it."

Locke said smoothly. He didn't want others to discover the two corpses, so he would naturally cooperate with Gavin's statement.

When Gavin saw Locke cooperating with him so well, a smile appeared on his face. He was really afraid that Locke would kill him.

After all, if we really want to elaborate on the responsibilities, he, as the person in charge, should bear the main responsibility. When the time comes, he will definitely be punished more severely than Locke.

Fortunately, Locke also understands the principle of protecting oneself wisely and is willing to cooperate with him and shift the responsibility to others.

Gavin nodded slightly towards Locke, and then said to Watson:

"Watson, drag the bodies of these two robbers aside. You really don't care about life and death. You dare to rob our fleet in Guanhai City."

Watson is not stupid. Of course he understands what Gavin means. Although it is a pity that the two knights have lost their true identities after their death, he can only follow Gavin's meaning and say:

"As you command, I will dispose of the bodies of these two robbers."

Watching Watson dragging away the body, Locke said to Gavin:

"You, the captain of the escort team, have learned to be smart. You are not as rigid as you were at the beginning."

"He is very smart, otherwise he would not be qualified to be the captain of the escort team. He was just following my orders before."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, yes, he is smart and obedient, and he can be considered a talent. You just abandoned him like this?"

"There are as many such people as there are in Guanhai City. If Director Locke feels it is a pity, he might as well take on more responsibilities, so that I won't pass the responsibility on to him."

Gavin said to Locke with a smile.

"Forget it, he's not from our Yaojin Chamber of Commerce. You don't feel pity for me. I have nothing to feel pity for. But no matter what, he saved us once. You'd better not go too far."

"Don't worry, I will speak for him. I can't guarantee anything else. At least he won't lose his life because of this matter."

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on."

Locke glanced at Watson again. The captain of the escort team had been regarded as a scapegoat by Gavin for the loss of supplies. After Gavin returned to Guanhai City, he would definitely pass the main responsibility to Watson.

Although Watson did his duty and followed Gavin's command throughout the whole process, he should not bear any responsibility.

But who makes him the captain of the escort team of this motorcade, and who makes his status in the Chamber of Commerce not as high as that of Director Gavin.

His status as captain of the escort meant that he could bear the responsibility for the loss of supplies, and his low status in the Chamber of Commerce meant that Gavin could shift all the responsibility to him, but he didn't even have a chance to argue.

There was no way Gavin would not use such a perfect scapegoat, not to mention that Watson had made Gavin unhappy before.

Although Watson saved their lives, in Gavin's view, that was Watson's responsibility. It would be good for him to say a few good words to Watson for this. As for what punishment Watson will receive for this, then It's none of Gavin's business.

This is the nature of their businessmen. As long as it does not involve their own interests, other things can be abandoned.

Even Locke felt that there was nothing wrong with Gavin's approach. He just felt a little pity for Watson as a talent, but he only felt pity for Chen Yan's death for a while, and he didn't even care about Watson.

Watson didn't know that he had been used as a scapegoat by the two directors. He was still diligently completing the tasks assigned by Gavin.

After he had Chen Yan and Xu Ruofeng's bodies dragged far away, he asked his men to leave first, and then Watson secretly performed a knight's salute to the two corpses.

In fact, Watson's dream when he was a child was to be a knight. Unfortunately, Guanhai City was controlled by merchants. How could they allow the lord to have his own armed force.

Therefore, the Cavaliers in Guanhai City have always been empty shells, and Watson naturally cannot be a knight.

But Watson's dream has never changed, especially when he met two such brave knights today. He greatly admired the courage and loyalty of these two knights to their lords.

If the team had not set off in such a hurry, he would have wanted to bury these two knights alive.

"Sorry, I can only use stones and sand to make a simple cover for you first. I hope your bodies will not be taken away by monsters. When I have the opportunity, I will definitely come to this place again and let you rest in peace. "

Watson said to the two corpses. He saw that Xu Ruofeng was still wearing a knight's helmet, covering his face tightly, so he reached out and took off Xu Ruofeng's helmet.

This knight is so brave, of course he wants to see what the other person looks like.

"He's quite handsome, almost as good as me. It's such a shame."

Watson muttered.

"Watson, how long are you going to stay there? It won't take that long to dispose of the body. Get back here quickly!"

Gavin's voice interrupted Watson's thoughts. He glanced at the two knights one last time before returning to the convoy.

"Report to Director Gavin that the two corpses have been disposed of."

Watson replied to Gavin.

"Well, then let's set off. Ask the guards to run faster. This time we will reach Iron Thorn Town as quickly as possible."

"Yes! Everyone, speed up and keep up with the two adults' mounts, the lambs."

Following Watson's order, the convoy set off again, but there were no supplies in the convoy.

At the same time, the players also brought supplies back to Yinghuo Town.
