When the meeting was over, Tulsi was in a state of confusion. He knew why Bill came because Job did not avoid Tulsi when he assigned Bill a task.
So Tours actually knew everything, such as the Fox and Wolf bandits would come, and Bill would find a way to let the Fox and Wolf bandits into the town. He also always thought that Bill would definitely get it done...
But the current situation is - the Fox and Wolf bandit gang was defeated and Bill was captured.
Turles couldn't understand how Woolley did it, and he wanted to ask someone, such as someone who was present when Bill was captured, but he didn't dare because it would probably expose himself.
I should have arranged someone to secretly monitor Bill earlier, Turles hated in his heart.
The only thing he could basically confirm now was that Wu Lai had not had time to interrogate Bill - there was a lot of evidence to support this, for example, after Bill was locked up in the cell to recuperate, no officials or service personnel had entered, and Wu Lai had fainted once in the afternoon, and after waking up he went to the east of the town, and then he was busy arranging meetings, and had not done anything else at all...
What should I do? Turles thought as he walked towards his mansion.
According to the agreement of the meeting, Bill will be urgently sent to the Supreme Council of Assyria City for trial early tomorrow morning, because everyone thinks that is the "most suitable" place for Bill to go.
So, Tours became anxious - if it were in the past, he could have arranged for someone to send a letter to Lunvington right now, and asked Lunvington to arrange someone to intercept Bill halfway. But now it is no longer possible. Since the three gates of Saltmarsh Town were repaired, people entering and leaving after dark must be checked first. Moreover, Wu Lai just said that from tonight to tomorrow night, double checkpoints will be set up at the entrance of the horse trail leading to Lunvington in Saltmarsh Town, and only entry is allowed but not exit, to prevent anyone from leaking the news.
In other words, if Tours wanted to pass on the message, he had to leave at least one day later than Bill. If he did that, he would undoubtedly be too late, especially when Woolley was on guard...
Tours was thinking as he walked, but the more he thought, the more confused his mind became. He was in a trance and when he turned into the alley where his house was, he almost bumped into someone. Fortunately, he was quick to pull the lantern back so that it would not burn.
"Asshole..." Turles had just cursed halfway when he saw the man suddenly stretch out his hand. He was startled and quickly took two steps back. After taking a closer look, he realized that the other party was not attacking him, but was showing him something.
This is a nameplate, all black, with a flag engraved on the side facing Tours, a triangular fishtail, and two ribbons wrapped around the flagpole...
Is this the Black Flag Badge? Turles was startled. He had seen the Black Flag Badge from Jobe and knew that only the core members of the Duncan family could hold the Black Flag Badge. Jobe also told him that if the person holding the Black Flag Badge gave him any order, he must carry it out to the letter.
Even though Jobe would remind him two or three times every year, Turles never thought that what Jobe said would happen, because he didn't believe that someone holding a black flag badge would come to a place as harsh as Salt Marsh Town.
But Tours also remembered Job's words: "If you can get tasks assigned by such big people, it will be a great opportunity for you. For example, I did the tasks for these big people in the past, which led to my current situation."
In fact, Job didn't believe that Tours would be able to encounter this "great opportunity" because the Duncan family was not short of manpower, especially in Lovington, so how could Tours possibly get such a good thing.
But at this moment, the black flag emblem was right in front of Tours.
After blinking, Tulsi raised the lantern a little higher...
The man in front of him was dressed in black and had a tall and straight figure, but for some reason, he had covered his head with a black cloth, which also covered half of his face, leaving only a pair of bright eyes exposed.
"Do you know him?" The man's voice was soft and a little hoarse. Tours was sure that it was an unfamiliar voice.
"I know it." Tours nodded quickly, "This is the Black Flag badge."
"Glad that we know each other, follow me." The man put the nameplate in his arms, waved at Tours, turned and walked towards another alley.
Tours glanced around and followed.
After a while, the man led Tours into an abandoned wooden house.
"I have something I want to ask you to do." said the man.
Tours was delighted and immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
But the man's next words made Tours nervous: "I want you to kill Bill."
Tours was shocked: "Why, why do you want to kill him?"
"Do you even need to ask this?" There was a hint of displeasure in the man's voice. "Just tell me, will you do it or not?"
Tours hesitated for only a moment and then nodded. Killing Bill would be a good thing. It could eliminate future troubles and gain recognition from the bigwigs of the Duncan family. Why not do it?
"Okay." The man nodded. "We should deal with this as soon as possible. I have already found out where he is being held..."
…
At midnight, several figures appeared in the backyard of the Baker Mansion, all dressed in black and wearing black cloth.
The leader was naturally Tours. The reason he came here was because the big shot told him that this was where Bill was imprisoned. At first, Tours was a little bit unbelieving, because the dungeon in the official residence was undoubtedly much safer than Baker's place, but he understood it after thinking about it.
Originally, Tours should have come earlier, but the moonlight tonight seemed to be deliberately against Tours. It shone brightly for most of the night, and was only just barely covered by a few clouds. So Tours, who was feeling depressed and annoyed after staying in the carriage in the backyard alley, took action immediately.
The backyard was naturally very quiet at this time, so quiet that Tours could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
After passing a long row of stacked firewood, Turles waved his hand and stopped with his four men, because the place of detention mentioned by the big man was just ten steps away from them.
This is a single-door stone house with windows, which seems to be used to store sundries, but at this moment there is light coming from inside.
It was already midnight and the whole town was in darkness, but the lights were still on here, which was obviously a bit abnormal. Moreover, at the door of such an inconspicuous utility room, there were actually two people guarding on both sides of the door, which made him seem like he was trying to cover up something.
Fortunately for Tours, the two people at the door were leaning against the wall and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Turles waved his hand, and his four men flashed their daggers and rushed forward quickly. As a few slight groans were heard, a faint smell of blood filled the air.
Turles quickly stepped forward and waved his hand, and the four men immediately moved the body aside. After looking at the blood on the floor with disgust, Turles leaned to the window and peeked inside. He saw that it was indeed Bill in the room. He had bandages wrapped around many parts of his body, and he seemed to have heard the noise outside the door and was trying hard to sit up from the floor.
After a moment's hesitation, Tours unbolted the door, pushed it open and walked in.
Bill was startled when he saw a masked man in black clothes coming in, but Turles immediately pulled down the mask. After seeing that it was Turles, Bill breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Take me out of here."
"Okay." Tours nodded, stepped forward to help him and asked, "Did they interrogate you?"
"Not yet, hiss... you touched my wound... hurry, hurry up and get out of here." Bill grimaced in pain, but he was so happy in his heart. Although the incident this time was serious enough, as long as he could leave Saltmarsh Town and return to Lunvington, and then insist that he was innocent, Woolleglindo would be powerless.
"Did they really not interrogate you?" Tours asked again. Since the matter was of great importance, it would be better to ask one more time.
"Didn't I tell you, no." Bill frowned. Turles's question was very harsh to him. It was like repeatedly questioning him. If he wasn't injured and weak, he wouldn't mind slapping Turles.
As they were talking, the two of them had already walked out the door and into the yard, and Turles' four men quickly surrounded them.
After walking two steps, Turles suddenly let go of Bill's hand and stepped back a few steps. His eyes turned cold as he looked at Bill...
Just as Bill was beginning to feel surprised, four of Tours' men surrounded him...
"Turles, what does this mean?" Bill's heart suddenly skipped a beat, because he suddenly thought of a bad possibility.
"Bill, I'm very sorry, I can't save you, so..." Tours slowly raised his right hand and swung it down fiercely. Four sharp daggers flashed with cold light at the same time and pierced into Bill's body.
The moment the pain came, what rose in Bill's heart was not anger, but a strong sense of bitterness and sadness - Tours treated him so cruelly, which meant that he had been abandoned.
Bill immediately gave up the idea of resistance - he knew that he was no match for these four people, and there was no need to resist.
He wanted to scream, but he couldn't, because just before the dagger reached him, a strong arm grabbed his neck from behind...
Just as Bill's consciousness was gradually becoming blurred, torches were suddenly lit one after another in the corners of the yard, on the walls, in the alleys outside the wall, and in the front building of the mansion. The flames immediately illuminated the backyard as bright as day.
Oh no! Tours' heart sank, because along with the firelight, there were dozens of human figures. Moreover, with the sound of "ga ga ga" of string pulling, a large group of people walked quickly towards the front building. The person in the middle of the first row was Wu Lai with a frosty face. Beside him were Pompeii, Sales, Baker, and Ilett...
"Assailant! Put down your weapon!" The voice came before the Wu Lai people arrived.
The four men of Tours were startled, and subconsciously let go of Bill, who was covered in blood and only breathing out but not in...
