Chapter 161 Scapegoat (page 12)
Although Locke felt sorry for the two knights who committed suicide, he quickly regained his composure and said to Gavin:
"Now you are satisfied. The two knights who offended you are both dead. You can finally vent your anger."
Gavin 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'm satisfied? It's not like I asked anyone to kill them. They committed suicide. What does it have to do with me?"
As Gavin talked, he gradually realized that Locke wanted to put the responsibility for the deaths of these two knights on himself.
He quickly denied this, and then continued:
"All the guards present saw it. In order not to leak the information, one of them hit the sword and the other wiped his neck with a dagger. It has nothing to do with us."
"And you also heard it. I have just approved your proposal. I am not going to kill them. I just want to interrogate the information. Who knows that they will commit suicide directly."
Locke looked at Gavin's anxious expression, curled his lips noncommittally, and then said lightly:
"It's useless for you to tell me this. It's better to explain it to the Chamber of Commerce and other nobles."
Gavin glared at Locke upon hearing this.
"Even if we explain, it will be explained by the two of us together. Don't forget, you are also one of the leaders of the caravan, and you have to take responsibility for this matter. We are two grasshoppers on the same rope now, and no one can escape responsibility. .”
Locke knew Gavin would say this, and Gavin would definitely drag him into the water in order to reduce his responsibilities.
And he is also happy to be dragged into the water by Gavin. Only in this way can Gavin feel that Locke is on the same side as him, and his words will be more easily recognized by Gavin.
He deliberately pretended to look ugly and said:
"Obviously you trusted that Knight Tom, so let's forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. 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 committed suicide, we have no witnesses. It will be difficult to hold Rose Town accountable based on just a family crest. At that time, they may not recognize the identities of these two knights. We will also use them There is nothing we can do.”
"After all, Rose Town has probably learned the news that we are abandoning them. They will definitely not be as respectful to us as before, and may even be hostile and resist us. And we can't take action against the nobles. It seems that this batch of supplies will be very difficult. Coming back.”
Gavin felt relieved when he saw that Locke didn't mean to put all the responsibility on himself.
He and Locke are the leaders of this caravan and the directors of the Chamber of Commerce. They have a strong voice. As long as they can cooperate with each other, they can easily shift the responsibility to others and reduce their own punishment.
Locke must have realized this, so he made a compromise.
Since Locke is willing to cooperate, this matter will be simple. Gavin said in a relaxed tone:
"We can't do anything against Rose Town. Baron Bach from Ironthorn Town always has something to do with them. We just need to tell Baron Bach what happened. Isn't he worried about why to start a war against Rose Town? We are here Just give him a reason."
"Besides, in the Kingdom of Arad, who doesn't know that the family coat of arms is an important symbol to prove the identity of the nobles. Those nobles carry the coat of arms with them all day long, aren't they just afraid of losing the coat of arms, so this coat of arms is enough to prove that they are The knight of Rose Town."
After listening to Gavin's words, Locke nodded in agreement, then shook his head and said:
"But I still don't understand how Rose Town dared to attack our caravan. Moreover, we have been trading with them for so long, and we have never heard that there is a talent like Tom in Rose Town."
"Besides, they carry out such a dangerous mission and carry the family crest with them. There is always a sense of concealment."
"Do you think there is a possibility that these people are also pretending to be Rose Town, trying to divert all our attention to Rose Town, so as to clear the suspicion of the real mastermind behind the scenes."
Gavin's expression changed when he heard this, and then he immediately denied Locke's idea.
"Impossible, these knights are definitely from Rose Town. As you just said, they may have learned that we are abandoning Rose Town and investing in Ironthorn Town, so they are attacking our supplies."
"No matter how afraid they are of our Guanhai City, they will not let Tiethorn Town occupy their territory. They will definitely rise up to resist."
"And the nobles would always carry their family crest with them. This Knight Tom may have thought that he could escape, so he took the family crest with him. You saw it just now. If Watson hadn't reacted quickly, they would have been held hostage. We ran away."
After Gavin said this, he whispered to Locke:
"No matter what, we must confirm the identities of these knights, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Baron Bach and the Chamber of Commerce. Rose Town is the best choice. You should understand what I mean."
Of course Locke knows what Gavin means. Their most important task now is to find the mastermind. As for whether the mastermind is true or not, that doesn't matter, as long as the evidence points to it.
Gavin must have noticed something was wrong with Tom and others. Although he was frightened to the point of losing his mind just now, after he calmed down, he quickly realized the problems Locke 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.
"Huh, 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.
