The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 575

575.Chapter 575

Suddenly, Jefferson had a thought. He immediately gave a signal to one of his subordinates in the crowd, indicating for him to head up to the city tower.

The woman who had foiled his plan was definitely the rumored Holy Lady of Walden.

Once he captured her, Jefferson could use her as leverage to threaten Nolan.

As the subordinate understood the signal and quickly withdrew from the crowd, heading towards the city tower, the people surrounding the governor’s carriage began to grow anxious.

“Governor, why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Yeah, what exactly happened? Did they really save the people during the great chaos?”

“I once heard that the enemies on the border tried to invade. Was it Black Flag Army who fought those battles?”

“Sir, is that true?”

“If so, then Black Flag Army must have protected the people, they are indeed brave soldiers.”

“What about the Prince Regent?”

“Did the Prince Regent personally lead the charge?”

“So… so what’s the truth? Who’s right and who’s wrong?”

The people were in chaos, unable to make sense of the situation.

But this confusion was the first step toward clarity.

They had been misled and brainwashed by Jefferson for years, but even so, they were not completely incapable of discernment.

They wanted to know who was right, who was wrong, because deep down, they didn’t want to aid the oppressors and didn‘ t want to betray the ones who had truly cared for them.

Eliza knew this, which is why she had taken on the task of comforting the people.

She could do this–she was the only one who could do it easily.

Eliza said, “Stop overthinking. Today’s events have nothing to do with the people. As long as you don’t act rashly, the Prince Regent and Black Flag Army won’t harm anyone. You’re worried about Jefferson because you think a good man, a benevolent official who loves his people, right?

“If you believe his actions have been righteous, then why should he fear? Why not surrender, allow the Prince Regent to investigate and clear his name, and give the people the truth?”

The last part of her speech was directed at Jefferson, but it was truly meant for the ears of the people.

The crowd thought, “Yes, if that’s the case, then let’s investigate. Let’s get to the bottom of it.”

They believed Jefferson was innocent.

Jefferson murmured, “What a sharp tongue.”

Inside, Jefferson was in turmoil.

“Why aren’t the people I sent up there back yet? Hurry! Catch that woman. If she keeps speaking, these citizens will really be swayed by her.”

Just as he was thinking this, two hands suddenly appeared behind Eliza on the city tower, grabbing her feet and yanking

her down.

There was a gasp from the city tower.

Jefferson instantly felt a surge of joy, and he turned to look at Nolan.

He expected to see Nolan’s anxious expression, rushing to save her. Instead, he turned and was met by a flash of cold light.

A cold blade pressed against his neck.

“Don’t move,” Nolan’s voice was icy. “I’m not in a good mood. If you move again, don’t blame me if my knife doesn’t miss.”

At that moment, the threat of death made Jefferson’s skin crawl.
