28. Rimster
Looking at the young face that was red and twisted, Rick's expression was calm and he looked at his beard calmly.
With a beard and tilted, Old Wade was immediately taken to him: "Old man, who killed these people? We are the Lushui Town Police Station. We received a report that there are a large number of bandits here, so please cooperate with the work."
The unexpected politeness of the beard made Old Wade a little flattered: "Sir, I..." Old Wade hesitated.
Rick saved his and Tara's lives, but he did kill people, and Old Wade could not go against his conscience.
"He did kill people, but he did it for...."
"Okay, I understand!" Beard interrupted Old Wade's pale and powerless explanation and looked at Rick again: "You can hire a lawyer, but what you say at this time will be used as evidence for the court..." After a formulaic rhetoric, Beard convicted Rick.
"Sir, he was forced to kill someone to save our father and daughter..." Old Wade stubbornly wanted to explain something, but several police officers took them aside to take the transcript.
"Please hand over your belongings and we will keep them for you." The beard showed his greedy face until this moment. Even if Old Wade said Rick was innocent, he would definitely arrest Rick as a suspect.
But it's okay to try it. I didn't expect that Old Wade's sense of justice is so strong that he even sold his life-saving benefactor, but he saved a lot of trouble.
Little Wade stood aside, with red and swollen eyes, with unconcealed pleasure: "Murderer! When you hang you, I will definitely go and see it!"
Silver Tale, copper rope, dagger, crystal salt, and a few antique pendants are all Rick's property, and the newly gathered horse beasts and wild donkeys have become evidence, and I don't know who will flow into my hands.
In addition to money, the most valuable ones are crystal salt and a few antiques.
Looking at the heavy pieces of crystal salt, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared: "Crystal salt? Do you actually have crystal salt?"
Originally, the bearded manslaughter was at most a crime of manslaughter, but with crystal salt, it was smuggling severely punished by the empire.
Hearing the word "Crystal Salt", even Old Wade was alarmed. He looked at the pieces of Crystal Salt that were quickly put away by his beard, and his face was also full of disbelief.
Rick inherited the knowledge of the abyss and of course knew that crystal salt was a precious item that was strictly prohibited for trafficking.
It is precisely because it is a contraband that its price has always remained high.
"Can the pendant be left behind? It's the relic left by my mother." Rick looked sluggish, like a drug dealer caught, with a lifeless look on his face.
After swaying his beard a few times, he made sure that there was no mechanism, he returned the pendant to Rick very much.
Rucker's heart gradually calmed down while stroking the cold surface of the pendant.
To be honest, several times just now, Rick thought of transforming directly and killing everyone here.
But judging from the breath, these police officers basically have the strength of a first-level apprentice. The bearded and several elites, and even a third-level apprentice, were not something Rui could possibly compete with.
Even if you barely fight out, you will be unable to escape death after the transformation.
He was put on heavy shackles again, Rick's eyes were trotting behind the police force.
Old Wade looked regretful, but now that things have come to this, he can only try his best to deal with Rick in front of the court. But when he thought that Rick actually smuggled crystal salt, Old Wade sighed immediately.

The dry air gradually adds a little more moisture. Looking up, you can see the undulating mountains that act as barriers in the distance.
The Samos Desert is like a greedy wolf, ingesting any trace of greenness and life.
But after encountering the green waters and mountains, this greedy and hungry wolf could only stop there.
The mountain on one side has been severely sanded and gravelly, but after passing through the mountain stream, a hint of green suddenly appeared in front of you. The yellow sand on the official road gradually decreased, revealing the compact yellow land.
His steps were no longer so heavy, but Rick was still sweating on his face, holding up heavy shackles and trotting behind a horse beast. In his eyes, except for a constantly twisting horse buttocks and the strong smell of horse manure, Rick couldn't stand the shackles on his wrist.
Maintaining a position for a long time made Rick’s wrist congested and stiff. Every time the horse beast suddenly accelerated, Rick would be staggered.
If it were just an ordinary suspect, Rick would not be treated like this.
In the police station, or working in any imperial department, the eyes are very important. If you don’t pay attention and get involved in someone you shouldn’t be provoked or cannot be provoked, it is not just as simple as being stripped off with a tiger skin.
However, with the charge of severe punishment from this empire, no one can save Rick as long as he is not the son of the mayor.
Playing with prisoners, especially those without any roots, is one of the few fun these policemen have.
In addition to the captured horse beasts and wild donkeys, Rick also provided a few antiques that were good at a glance. At that time, as long as he was convicted, he would lose a bag of these antiques.
Several low-level police officers looked at the wild donkeys, thinking that it was time to change the sick donkeys at home.
The wrist gradually disappeared, and the swollen wound was only a numb and painful feeling. The long-term running made Rick's throat feel like a piece of rotten soap was stuffed with, and he couldn't breathe.
My body was extremely tired and my mouth was filled with blisters. I spit out the sticky saliva from my mouth due to the intense exercise. Rick licked his lips with his tongue, looking at the Green Water Town, which gradually appeared, and slowly calmed down his breathing.
Located behind several mountains, Green Water Town completely isolated the dryness and heat of the desert.
There are more and more green on both sides of the official road, and with the sensation of comfort and coolness, you can already see the tall walls of Lushui Town.
Green Water Town is the only small town near the desert. It is a trading center between the Satsuma and the Empire, and it is built relatively sturdy.
The walls of the town are snow-white and tall, but many of the bottom edges of the walls are mottled, and it is obvious that they are negligent in repair.
Two tall solid wood town gates are wrapped in a thick layer of iron, and the family emblem of the ruler of the town, the Rhmster family.
The Rhmst family started with breeding good beasts, so the family emblem is a rushing and leaping tall horse beast, which is very majestic when you step on the clouds and winds.
The family had a difficult life in the early stage and was often dubbed by the old nobles as "horse dealers" or "groom family".
However, in recent years, the patriarchs of the Rymster family have worked hard and accumulated over several generations, and have surpassed most of the low-level nobles and have several extremely valuable territories such as Green Water Town and Feicao Ranch.
