Da da da!
The sound of dense footsteps came from far away, and the aristocratic young man turned his head slightly stiffly, and saw Gray with a livid face walking towards him, surrounded by a group of people.
His face instantly turned pale, as if he had lost all color, and his voice trembled slightly.
"Gray... Young Master..."
The commander of the city guard didn't know the authenticity of the rumor. As a descendant of the Lord's family, how could he not know
Although it is hard to believe, it is a fact. The young master Gray in front of him is under 20 years old, but he is already a mad blood warrior.
It was highly favored by the Marquis of Sidney family, and for this reason, the Marquis of Sidney family made an exception and promoted the Fergus family to the earl family.
It can be said that the person that the Fergus leader should not offend the most today is not Earl Fergus, but the young master Gray in front of him.
After hearing the news, his father, Lord Elliot, summoned the brothers and sisters yesterday and specifically warned not to provoke the young master in front of him.
But he didn't expect that he would still be provoked.
His heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
On the cross, a young man's hands were tied to it separately. His whole body was covered with blood marks one after another.
"elder brother-"
When they came here, everyone in Gray immediately saw the young man tied to the cross with bloodstains all over his body.
Seeing this young man, Barbara ran over in a few steps, with tears in her eyes.
The middle-aged man and woman also followed forward with anxious faces.
"Barbara, Dad, Mom, why are you here? Is it that bastard... did he arrest you too?"
Seeing Barbara, the middle-aged man, and the woman appearing here, the young man Blue thought that they were captured by the aristocratic youth, and stared at the aristocratic youth Hicks as if his eyes were about to burst into flames.
"Asshole, if you have anything to do with me, I'm the one who provoked you. My father, my mother, and my sister didn't provoke you!"
"No, he didn't capture us. It was Master Gray who brought us to rescue you."
Barbara shook her head.
"Master Gray? Master Gray brought you here to save me?"
There was surprise and astonishment in Blue's eyes.
Surprised that the aloof Master Gray from Fergus Castle actually came to save him, and shocked that that man would actually stand up for him
Although his sister is now Master Gray's personal maid, he doesn't believe it if a maid can persuade the "master" to stand up for his family.
So from the beginning, he had no hope.
At this time, several clever city guard captains had already stepped forward to help put Blue down from the cross.
Gray stepped forward to check and confirmed that there were many injuries, but not fatal, and then looked at the instigator, the noble young man Hicks.
"That's enough. You dare to act so recklessly in Fergus City. Do you still take the Fergus family seriously?"
Gray had seen the noble young man Hicks in front of him at several noble banquets, but was not familiar with him.
Given his status, he was surrounded by outstanding children from various families. Hicks, the aristocratic young man in front of him who was taking advantage of the common people, obviously could not reach the level of outstanding children, even those who were close to him. Not even qualified to talk.
"Master Gray, this, this is a misunderstanding, I, I didn't know he was yours..."
When he saw Barbara following Gray and heard Barbara calling the young man Blue his brother, he already understood what was going on.
The coat that Barbara was wearing was obviously not something that a small merchant family could afford, so Barbara's identity was self-evident.
He couldn't stop feeling bitter in his heart, and couldn't help but blame the young man Blue, if you had such a relationship, you should have told him earlier.
"Does that mean it doesn't matter?"
Gray snorted.
He has heard about the "behavior style" of these naughty nobles, so it's okay if he doesn't encounter them. If he encounters them, he will naturally give them a good beating.
He didn't want Fergus City to be in a mess because of these naughty nobles.
"No, no, Master Gray, that's not what I meant..."
Hearing the anger in Gray's words, cold sweat suddenly slid down the forehead of the noble young man Hicks.
"what does that mean?"
Gray looked at the aristocratic young man Hicks lightly and asked.
"Master Gray, I know I was wrong."
Seeing Gray's cold gaze, the aristocratic young man Hicks' feet softened and he knelt directly on the ground and said quickly.
"Is this the arrogant noble boy just now?"
After being rescued from the cross and put on his coat again, Blue was grinning in pain. When he saw the aristocratic young man who had just been so arrogant and kept beating him with a whip, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground in front of Gray. I couldn't help but feel surprised.
Although I had already heard that Master Gray was very powerful in the Fergus Territory, I never expected that the other party would be so powerful that he could actually scare a noble young man to the point where he knelt on the ground and did not even dare to express his anger.
"Barbara, how did you ask Master Gray to replace my... um, your clothes?"
He looked at Barbara, and then he realized that the clothes on Barbara were actually extremely precious fur coats. He had only seen this kind of clothes on noble ladies.
"Could it be...?"
Thinking of Gray standing up for him before, he immediately understood the reason.
"Um."
Barbara nodded imperceptibly, her face blushing slightly.
"Very good!"
After receiving Barbara's affirmative reply, Blue suddenly felt happy.
He is not the kind of person who sells his sister to curry favor with nobles. The reason why he is happy is more because he knows that from now on, Barbara will live a wealthy life with no worries about food and clothing.
He was naturally happy to see his relatives get rid of their status as civilians and live such a life.
Of course, in his heart, he was also excited about having this relationship.
He had already experienced the sorrow of not having power today.
It was obviously the other party's carriage that skidded and knocked over their shelves, but they still blamed their shop and caught him here and beat him up.
He originally thought there was no way he could survive, but fortunately, with Barbara's relationship, he was able to be rescued.
"You like to whip people, right? Have you ever felt what it feels like to be whipped?"
Gray stared at the aristocratic young man Hicks with a cold face, and then said.
"Give him ten lashes and let him taste what it feels like to be whipped."
"yes."
Snap, snap, snap!
A clever city guard stepped forward, took off the coat of the noble young man Hicks, and whipped the noble young man Hicks hard with a whip.
The aristocratic young man in front of them was usually the target of their favour, and they had to speak politely, let alone whip him.
But now, he is not afraid at all, because he knows that the other party does not dare to retaliate against him.
On the contrary, if he could take this opportunity to attract Master Gray's attention, he might be rewarded for it.
After ten lashes, the noble young man suddenly had ten blood marks on his body, and in some places, even his clothes were damaged.
"For the sake of Lord Elliot's decades of hard work for the Fergus family, I will let you go this time. It's up to you how to compensate the store."
After saying that, Gray turned around and left with Barbara and others. There were still things in the camp that needed him to deal with.
The young man Blue was taken for treatment, accompanied by Barbara and others.
In a room in the camp, Gray sat on a chair, tapping the coffee table next to him with his fingers.
Opposite him.
The captain of the city guard with small eyes and a pointed chin was kneeling on the ground with a pale face.
More than ten people, including the commander of the city guard, stood cautiously and nervously.
His eyes swept across the dozen or so people, and finally landed on the commander of the city guard.
"Whose city guard are you city guards and who do they work for?"
"Go back to Master Gray, we are the city guard of the Fergus family, working for the Fergus family."
A slight cold sweat slid down his forehead, the city guard commander lowered his head and said.
"Now that you know that it is the city guard of the Fergus family and it is your job to do things for the Fergus family, what did you do?"
Gray stared at these dozen people coldly.
"Working for nobles from other families, working for wealthy businessmen, is this how you work for the Fergus family?"
Gray's voice was not loud, he just seemed to be speaking calmly, but the dozen or so people couldn't help but sweatdrops fell from their foreheads.
Gray looked at the man with small eyes and pointed chin, and said with a cold face.
"He eats everything he eats, takes the salary of the Fergus family, and actually does things for other nobles."
"Master Gray, I was wrong, I was wrong."
The man with small eyes and pointed chin slapped himself hard with his left and right hands. Both sides of his face were swollen, and he said in panic.
Gray was too lazy to pay attention anymore and looked at the commander of the city guard.
"Cancel his position as city guard captain. Well, let the city guard who whipped him before take his place. This time, everyone involved will be kicked out after fifty lashes."
"Yes, Master Gray."
The commander of the city guard quickly replied.
"Those of you who didn't participate, don't think that you'll be fine if you escape this time."
Gray glanced at the dozen or so city guard captains who were standing stiffly.
"Remember it for me. Next time whoever has personal affairs, I won't meet him. If I do, you will know the consequences."
More than ten people were so frightened that their expressions changed, and they quickly said they did not dare.
