This matter is not big or small, but it needs to be dealt with immediately. First of all, this matter is not a scandal. After all, both Jorah and Garsain are unmarried. They will sleep with you if you say they will. The biggest
The problem is that the two of them are unmarried. After all, sleeping together before marriage is considered a taboo thing in this world, especially the reputation of the woman will be poor.
However, what is more troublesome now is that this matter has spread everywhere for some reason, which is even more troublesome. Jorah is the eldest princess and a member of the royal family. Royal affairs cannot become the talk of the people after dinner, otherwise it will
It undermines the majesty of the royal family. It is necessary for rule to keep the people in awe, and they cannot be allowed to have the concept that "the royal people are just like the common people looking for their heads."
Yalan and Linton arrived at the scene in person. The two people are currently staying at the mansion of the Merlowe family in the Imperial City, which was the former Duke of Rennes' palace. It is now temporarily used as the investigation headquarters, and the incident happened here.
of.
There are two things to be investigated at present, one is who administered the drug, and the other is who spread the word.
"What if... it's not drugged?" When the carriage was halfway through, Yalan suddenly raised this possibility. After all, no one below had reported that it was drugged. This was just a guess by her and Linton.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Linton said, "That guy my nephew..."
"No, how much prejudice do you have against your nephew? Do you need to say it so categorically?" Yalan raised her forehead and said.
"Based on your conscience, what do you think is the possibility of drugging?" Linton asked.
"Uh... about... 80%?" Yalan thought for a while and said.
"It's so embarrassing..." Linton said.
"So let me tell you how biased you are." Yalan raised her forehead.
As they talked, the two of them had already arrived at the Duke's Mansion. It wasn't that far away anyway. When they arrived, they got good news, that is, one of the things they wanted to investigate had been completed. Yes, this matter
The person who spread the word has been caught.
At this time, of course, people in the Duke's Palace already knew about this matter, and also understood that Her Majesty the Queen would definitely come to ask about this matter, so the self-examination work had already begun. Since the news spread from here, there is a high probability that it is
The news spread among the people in the Duke's Palace, so the people who were in charge of guarding last night and those who had been in and out of the Duke's Palace this morning were all arrested and interrogated first. Of course, the interrogation method was also very simple. Just beat them and it would be done.
Not long after Yalan and Linton arrived, a beaten man covered in blood was dragged in front of them. Seeing the person beaten like this, both Yalan and Linton frowned. They still knew that beatings turned into tricks.
Yeah, he's been beaten up like this, he'll probably admit whatever you ask him to admit.
Linton looked directly at Eke, the chief steward of the Duke's Palace next to him. Eke was also smart and immediately understood what Linton meant. He stepped forward and said, "Master, it was really him who spread the news."
The subtext was that this really didn't mean to find someone to support him, and Linton still understood. Linton still believed Ek's words. This guy was one of his own, so he shouldn't fool him. He nodded at Yalan next to him.
Next, Yalan also understood what Linton meant.
"Why do you do this? Who asked you to do this?" Yalan asked directly to the beaten and bloody guard below. This guard's name is Xiaogla, one of the guards in charge of guarding last night. Basic information
The captain of the guard has already reported it.
"Reporting to Your Majesty... I didn't mean it, I just accidentally... I lost my words and said it... no one instigated me." Xiaogla here gasped and vomited blood in his mouth as he spoke.
"Nonsense, you have been in the job for more than ten years, don't you understand this?" Before Yalan finished speaking, the guard captain next to him came up and said, "Hurry up and tell the person who is behind you, for the sake of your colleagues
I'll give you a good time."
"It's really...it's just a minor slip of the tongue..." Xiaogla said with his head lowered.
"You..." The guard captain was furious. Yes, Xiaogla was his subordinate. If something happened to one of his subordinates, of course he would be implicated. Now if Xiaogla revealed the person behind the scenes, he would immediately
Applying to the emperor to make up for the merits and arrest the person, the guard captain felt that he still had a chance to balance the merits and demerits without being implicated, but in the end, Xiaogra refused to talk about it. How could he not be angry?
"Did you give the medicine...?" Yalan asked again.
"What kind of medicine? Your Majesty." Xiaogla asked strangely, and the others also looked at Yalan a little strangely, because at present, in their minds, this matter was just a leak. What happened to the medicine...?
"Pull it down and ask clearly." Yalan waved and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely let him speak." The guard captain next to him immediately stopped the move, fearing that Yalan's next words would pull him down too.
"I'm going to see my sister." Yalan said to Linton next to her.
"I'm going to find Garsain," Linton said.
"Yeah." Yalan nodded, and then walked directly towards the backyard.
"Hey, wait a minute." As soon as Yalan left, Linton stopped the captain of the guard who was about to leave.
"Sword... Lord Sword Master." When Linton called him, the guard captain here was of course panicked to death. He walked up to Linton cautiously, lowered his head and said.
"Let's handle this matter as I say," Linton said.
"Yes, sir." The captain of the guard said immediately. In fact, most of the ministers knew that in this country, Linton's words were more useful than the emperor.
"I don't care why this person was reported to the outside world. Now you will lead a team to arrest people. Who will be reported to? Who will be informed after that? Follow them one by one and arrest a hundred people."
Then there is no need to continue. Take these one hundred people to the square at the west entrance of the city and hang them all, tell everyone why these guys were hanged, do you understand?" Linton said.
"Obviously... I understand." The captain of the guard replied with a cold sweat. This is a ruthless person. He came up and hanged a hundred people without saying anything. The purpose is of course very clear. Kill chickens to scare monkeys. You like to spread the news, right?
Try it? Obviously this is the simplest way to solve the current situation outside. I guarantee that after these 100 people hang up, no one will discuss this matter again.
"Well..." Linton nodded, touched his chin, and looked at the captain of the guard here. Seeing Linton looking at him, the captain of the guard here was really panicked. He was afraid of Linton's next words.
That would mean hanging him up too.
However, what Linton was looking at was the armor on his body. This guy was not wearing the armor of the Duke's palace guard. Linton asked directly: "You are the captain of the palace guard, right?"
"This official is the captain of the princess's guard." The guard captain replied.
Linton learned from his mouth that there are currently two groups of guards in the Duke's Palace, one of which is naturally the guards of the Duke's Palace itself, and the other is naturally the guards who protect Jorah. These guards are naturally the guards of the palace, because Qiao La
La now does not have his own mansion.
Obviously, Xiaogla, who spread the news, was also a member of the palace guard. Hearing this, Linton was stunned for a moment: "Did you just say that he has been in the job for more than ten years?"
"Yes." The guard captain nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Sir Sword Master, I am also a little strange. Xiaogla entered the reserve force of the palace at the age of twelve. I have watched him grow up. I really want to
I don’t know why he would do this..."
Linton also understood what the captain of the guard meant. You said that someone behind Xiaogla was deliberately discrediting the royal family. This guy has been a palace guard for more than ten years, and no one doubted him. You said that you would do something detrimental to the royal family.
Those who did better ended up just spreading the inside information of the royal family, and the damage was too small. Besides, he had been working in the palace for more than ten years. How could other powerful factions enter the palace at such a young age?
Coming undercover? It seems unlikely.
"In your opinion, is Xiaogra loyal to His Highness Jorah?" Linton asked suddenly.
"Huh?" The guard captain was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Linton to ask such a question. Looking at it now, how could Shogra be loyal to His Highness Jorah? If he was loyal, he would spread these things?
"I said before today?" Linton added.
"Before today, I really didn't see that he would do this." The guard captain said, "Of course this is my responsibility. Please punish me, Lord Sword Master."
By the way, the novel app I’m using recently, [app] is supported by Android and Apple phones!
"Yeah... I understand." Linton nodded, then waved his hand, "Go and do the work, follow my previous instructions. You can keep this person for now, don't kill him."
"Yes, sir." The guard captain breathed a sigh of relief. It was fine that Linton didn't punish him anyway, and left quickly with Xiaogla.
"Uh... I always feel... my sister-in-law seems a bit cruel." Linton suddenly stood up and murmured.
"Master." Uncle Eke walked over and happened to hear Linton say this.
"Uncle Eck, have you heard the motto of our Meloway family?" Linton said, "If a woman is ruthless, nothing will happen to a man."
"No, Master, our Meloway family's collection of mottos is almost out of stock," Ek said.
"When did our family have Proverbs recorded?" Linton asked.
"It's the quotations from you, young master, that I collected and compiled, not the quotations handed down from the Meloway family..."
"Good guy, it's really compiled into a booklet. Have you written down the part about the rebellion?" Linton asked.
"...Master, do you need to write this too?" Ek asked, "This is an enlightenment book I plan to teach the young master after he is born..."
"God TN used this thing to enlighten me, I thank you." Linton raised his forehead, "Where is Garsain?"
"Master, the Duke is in the backyard." Ek said.
"Take me to find him first." Linton said, "I suddenly felt that this matter was a bit interesting. It seemed that someone had tricked my nephew on my behalf."
