The Truth (Repair)
Elena smiled and clicked her fingers, then cast a power word and Kun Kun told her everything.
"It's obvious that my father is the one who truly inherited the position of cattle herder. I am his eldest son. After his death, I should inherit everything from him."
"But my uncle used despicable means to bribe the village chief, saying that I was too young to be a cowherd. He took away the position of cowherd. From then on, his family had food and drink, while our family became increasingly poor."
"Finally, my despicable uncle died. His son, Los, was only a few years older than I was back then, still a child. I had grown up, and everything should have returned to normal. The position of cattle herder should have returned to our family. But this time, the village chief changed his attitude again. Instead of saying that Los was too young, he made him the successor."
"It's so unfair, so unfair. This is all so unfair. My father is obviously my grandfather's eldest son and the true heir to the cattle herder position, but now the cattle herder position has fallen into the hands of the second son."
"I'm not convinced. I'm not willing to accept this. Why can he be a cowherd? Is it because he and his father are shameless?"
"So I want revenge. I want to prove that he is not a good cowherd and that he should not be a cowherd."
Kunkun finished speaking, but his anger and resentment still remained on his face.
The acting village chief rushed forward and slapped him hard. "So this is your reason for deliberately setting a trap to harm the cattle? You are a pariah who deserves to be hanged!"
The acting village chief turned around and knelt down. "My Lady, please punish this fellow by hanging him. Let everyone know that public property is sacred and inviolable."
Elena's face was expressionless.
After watching this small play, Elena was still analyzing the plot in her mind, because Kunkun was too excited, and many of the words in his speech were in his hometown dialect, which was quite different from the official terminology. Elena was guessing and understanding at the same time, and before she could figure out anything, the acting village chief suddenly ran out and slapped the criminal in the face, and now he knelt down and begged her to hang the criminal. Elena couldn't control her expression for a while, and her face was blank. However, the lack of expression at this time unexpectedly made her look indifferent and ruthless.
Elena looked at the acting village chief expressionlessly.
Silence, an extremely quiet silence in the whole audience.
The acting village chief's back became increasingly stiff, and he didn't know whether his response just now was right or wrong.
Elena replayed Kunkun's words three or four times, put them in context, listened and guessed, and finally figured out what they meant.
Los's father's means of obtaining the position of cattle herder may not be so bright.
The village chief may have accepted a bribe.
The collateral branch snatched the hereditary position from the direct line, and the collateral branch has a backer.
Hey, why does this plot look so familiar?
Ha, isn’t this the same plot as when she first traveled through time, when Eli bullied her as an orphan and relied on his backers to seize power?
The character relationships are almost the same.
Routine, this is the routine.
Elena couldn't help but empathize with Kun Kun's resentment. If she hadn't traveled through time, given the original owner's personality, she would probably have faced the same fate as Kun Kun.
Elena understood the plot, and her gaze on the acting village chief was no longer blank, but focused.
By the way, in this plot, the chief of Abang Village is similar to Viscount Antoine, and is the backer of the power hidden behind the scenes.
No, that's not right. It's someone more powerful than Viscount Antoine, because the village chief of Abang Village is the former captain of the knights, a close minister of the lord, and a person who is far more powerful than the cowherd.
As for Viscount Antoine, he is of the same rank as Viscount Field. Even if he wants to deal with her, the heir who has not yet inherited the title, Viscount Antoine cannot use his power to overwhelm her openly. He can only hide behind the scenes and work together with Eli.
Kunkun is worse off than her.
Elena's voice, which sounded cold because of her displeasure, rang out: "Kunkun is guilty of intentionally harming the cattle."
The acting village chief breathed a sigh of relief.
Kunkun's forced breath faded, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground.
But the Viscountess's voice rang out again: "But since there were reasons for the incident, and it did not result in the death of the cattle, the death penalty can be exempted."
There was light in Kunkun's eyes again.
Elena pointed to someone: "Colon."
The one who was called out, Colen, was a new knight who had just joined the Cavaliers. He was the eldest son of the former captain of the Cavaliers, Maren, and the new village chief who inherited Abang Village.
Colen was originally standing on the periphery of the knights' protection circle. He had just joined the knights and was not yet qualified to stand beside the lord. When he heard the Viscountess calling him, he took a few steps forward and knelt on one knee.
Neil glanced at Colen with some concern.
Originally, I brought him back this time to give him some dignity and improve the Viscountess's good impression of him, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Elena said, "Koren, Abang Village is your knight territory. The affairs of the village should be handled by you. I will not interfere too much, but I hope you can handle it well and not let me down."
Kelun lowered his head: "I will follow your will and will never let you down."
After finding out the truth about the cattle fall incident in Abang Village, Elena led the team back to Fussen Town.
Colen was left behind to deal with the aftermath of the incident.
"Brother, will the young lady be dissatisfied with us?" The acting village chief stood beside Colen anxiously.
Colen gazed at the retreating troops. "They'll definitely be dissatisfied, even toward our father. What lord would be satisfied with a minister who violated the laws of inheritance? Furthermore, the Viscountess herself has suffered this very fate."
The acting village chief sighed uneasily.
Kelun turned to look at his brother and said, "You were wrong just now. You shouldn't have suggested hanging Kunkun. You should have interceded for him instead."
The acting village chief was upset: "I regret it too, but my mind was blank at the time and I didn't have time to think clearly."
Kelun raised his hand and patted his brother's shoulder: "Forget it, now that things have come to this, let's go back and discuss how to deal with Kunkun and Los."
Without mentioning what happened in Abang Village, Elena led the team back to Fussen Town. There was one less person, Colen, in the team, but one more person, Leonard.
"Are you passing through here?" Facing this guy with unknown origins but extraordinary strength, Elena always remained vigilant in her heart. "Are you still worried about me and worried that I will default on my debt?"
"No, I'm not worried. I still have some trust in you." Leonard didn't ride a horse, but ran directly beside Elena. However, his movements were very flexible and easy, and a little light compared to his height and weight.
"So you are just passing by?" Elena asked.
"No." Leonard rejected it again. "I just thought you might need my help, so I came."
"Why do you say that?" Elena was curious, "Why do you think I need help?"
"Your spice mix and sauces are selling very well. A lot of people want them."
Speaking of business, Elena was a little proud: "Of course."
Leonard shook his head: "It seems that you really don't understand. I said that many people want it, not want to buy it. Do you understand?"
"What do you mean? Someone wants to rob?" Elena became very alert.
"Of course, the profits here are so huge, who wouldn't want it? You are just a small viscount, and you don't have any big backers behind you, so of course there are many people who want to grab it." Leonard said.
Elena was doubtful: "So you want to help me? Can you help me?" The words "want" and "can" fully expressed her doubts.
A sword energy appeared out of thin air, like a rainbow, as if it had substance, pointing straight to the sky.
Leonard clenched his fist with his bare hands. There was no sword in his hand, but there was a sword shape in it.
"Of course I can." Leonard's calm tone revealed great confidence.
Elena nodded: "You are very strong."
Although Leonard had demonstrated his sword energy before, it was too short-lived and disappeared as soon as he chopped Eli. Although this proved that he was powerful, it did not explain how powerful he was. How long the sword energy could last was a very important indicator.
But now Leonard was quietly displaying his sword energy in front of her, giving her time to observe carefully. She clearly saw the large amount of elements gathered around the sword energy. With such element concentration and such element stability, if he were placed in the Sky Realm game, he would definitely be a warrior above level 70.
"So have you decided to hire me?" Leonard asked.
Elena nodded honestly: "I'm very tempted. What's the hiring price?"
Leonard raised his index finger, his eyes firm and his demeanor reliable: "100 gold coins."
"Thank you for your timely warning. I will protect myself well." Elena rejected him without hesitation.
