Chapter 37 A murder caused by a chicken bone

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Miss Rabbit opened an extra bottle of Coke for Herodotus' arrest.

She didn't take any of the three thousand golden lions that the high priest Quintus rewarded Juan and others. Later, she added an extra thousand gold lions and asked Juan and others to take them and divide them.

This can be said to be the most comfortable money the female lord has ever spent.

Herodotus and the Blood Moon Society led by him have long been notorious in the Western Territory. They assassinated and sabotaged everywhere, breaking the peace that had always been here, and making the opponents of the Blood Moon Society live in fear.

Luye is pretty good, because Miss Rabbit joined Shuangxiujiao early and gave Li Yu the right to teach, along with her relatives, vassals and

Herodotus and his blood moon would not be able to penetrate, so they would not be as destructive, but there would be no such good luck elsewhere.

As Pisiya's followers, many people are naturally sympathetic to the Blood Moon Society, and can easily be changed by the Blood Moon Society and sow the seeds of hatred.

Although the lords of the Western Region have been working hard to capture Herodotus and his followers, they have achieved little success this year.

The cruel methods and high-pressure policies provided the most fertile soil for the Blood Moon Society, prompting it to spread more quickly.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Blood Moon Society that Li Yu was worried about the personal safety of the monks. Even though Shuangxiu Sect had become famous in the Western Region, he was still very cautious about preaching abroad.

Even if there are monks who go out to preach, most of them only move around the green fields, and the most go to Black Rock City, and they are all protected by black dog guards.

The advantage of this is that safety is guaranteed, but the disadvantage is that the cost of missionary work is too high and the progress is very slow.

Fortunately, Miss Rabbit visited the royal capital before and allowed Li Yu to bring back many believers. Later, during the battle in the Dragon's Back Mountains, a group of savages and dwarves were captured.

Li Yu now has a lot of things to do, so he no longer thinks about preaching abroad. But once he has absorbed these believers and wants to collect a large amount of faith, he will have to go abroad.

At this time, Herodotus was arrested, and his Blood Moon Society seemed to be about to be destroyed. This was also good news for Shuangxiujiao.

However, after Li Yu heard Huan talk about the arrest process, he always felt that it was a bit too smooth.

But Herodotus is now imprisoned in the Scaled City, which is the headquarters of the Silver Moon Church, and it is difficult for Li Yu to interfere.

And right now he has other things to do.

News of Theodosius's death finally came from the Emmanuel family.

According to Theodosius' butler Galin, Lord Theodosius died after a chicken bone got stuck in his throat after a meal.

Of course, the main reason was that Lord Theodosius had been in bed for too long after being injured by the evil dragon, and was very weak, which made him unable to spit out the small piece of chicken bone like an ordinary person.

By the time it was discovered, it was already too late. Galin sent people to find the family's herbalist and also invited the priests of the Silver Moon Church, but they were unable to rescue Theodosius.

The head of the Emmanuel family passed away just like that.

As soon as Harman and Rafael heard the news, they jumped out and accused the housekeeper of lying.

Because Theodosius’s death was such a coincidence!

Just when it was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the illusion that Garin had created that he was still alive, his sudden death seemed like the forced ending after a lie was exposed.

The two of them are now on their way to Black Rock City, and Garin's actions are also very fast. On the night of Theodosius's death, he had already produced a suicide note.

This suicide note was left by Theodosius three months ago. At that time, he felt that his old wounds were not healing and his health was deteriorating. In order to prevent unexpected events, he wrote this suicide note.

In his suicide note, he unexpectedly left the position of head of the family to his youngest daughter Angela.

Galin believed that it was this suicide note that angered Harman and Rafael, making them insist that Theodosius had died long ago, hoping to use this to question the validity of the suicide note and regain their inheritance rights.

There was a tense situation between the two sides, and they even mobilized their own troops and horses, and they were ready to fight. However, in the end, under the mediation of the elders of the clan, they decided to sit down and try to resolve this matter through peaceful means.

The female lord and Li Yu were both invited to observe the negotiation.

Miss Rabbit arrived at Black Rock City one day in advance, while Li Yu waited until evening to arrive and appeared directly in the Emmanuel family's castle.

Galin was quite surprised when he saw Li Yu early the next morning, because he was worried that Harman and Rafael would lead people to sneak attack the castle under the guise of negotiation and directly seal the victory.

Therefore, the housekeeper set up tight defenses in the castle. No guards saw Li Yu coming in or out during this period, but now the latter appeared in front of her.

Jialin was stunned for a few seconds before he remembered the business and spoke.

"I just received the news that Rafael has found the Malir family in Lake City, the Treles family in Hongta City, and the Soto family in Flower Castle to support him. He must have promised to those people

Guy a lot of money.”

"Where's Harman?" Li Yu asked.

Harman is the eldest son of Theodosius. According to the practice in the West, after Theodosius's death, he should become the new head of the Emmanuel family. However, now his position as head of the family has been taken away.

Moreover, the person who stole everything was his sister, whom he didn't care much about. Harman would definitely not let it go.

"Not found." Galin said, "It seems that Harman has learned to be smarter this time. Even the informants I placed around him don't know who he is looking for this time."

Ilea was very open-minded, "Forget it, we'll find out when that guy shows up."

She was in a good mood, not only because Herodotus was arrested, but more importantly because she had the opportunity to go out with Li Yu again.

From Miss Rabbit's point of view, although this trip to Black Rock City was a business trip, it was almost like a date.

It's just a good time to cultivate a relationship with Li Yu again.

The girl quite liked the shocked expression on Galin's face when he opened the door. She even messed up the sheets a little and wrinkled her collar, and then she sat on the edge of the bed leaning on the bed, deliberately looking away.

Fixing clothes and talking at the same time.

However, Galin had no time to care about the gossip between the head of the Arias family and the prophet of the Shuangxiu sect at the moment.

He just said, "You can come to the banquet hall when you are ready. Harman and Rafael are already here."

Because the two of them had the same worries as the housekeeper, they didn't even dare to live in the family castle. They each rented a hotel in the city and lived in it with their men.

They didn't show up until almost all the invited guests had arrived, and they brought many people with them.
