Episode 10: The Sea Like a Mystery Section 3: The Dragon Ceremony 4
Soon, the officer was brought in front of them. Lace put away the smile on her face and asked: "Is there an urgent document? What is it?"
"Reporting to Miss Lace, we caught some spies, and then we found that two nobles provided these spies with hiding places, identities and funds for their operations. We think there are more than these hidden spies, so we want to ask for permission." The officer said respectfully.
Answered.
"Is the evidence conclusive? What did the two nobles confess?" Lace asked with a smile.
The officer was stunned and immediately took out some documents from his backpack: "In reply to Miss Lace, the evidence is conclusive, but the two nobles are very tough-mouthed and haven't asked anything useful yet."
There is a clear provision in Yasi's laws that no torture can be used on nobles.
There was still a smile on Laisi's face: "Aren't your torture methods very clever? Do you still show mercy to these people who are not my Yasi? With the irrefutable evidence of betraying the kingdom, are they still the nobles of our Yasi? You
Tell me."
When the officer heard this, he felt a chill in his back and knelt down on one knee: "I am confused, I will go and try these two traitors immediately."
"Go ahead, if they don't answer honestly, you know what to do." Lace waved her hand, indicating that the officer could go back to work.
The officer stood up and stood at attention, and replied loudly: "I understand."
The other three girls who were joking all stopped smiling. Watts was unreasonable and loved to bully others, but that was just the character and style of a little girl. Hasnabi and Belala were even more indifferent and well-known ladies.
At this time, seeing Lai Si say such cold words with a smile on her face, it was as if she were meeting Lai Si for the first time, and she looked at Lai Si in surprise.
Lace was not surprised at all by the expressions of the three people. She pretended not to see anything and invited everyone into the city with a smile.
"Lace, I heard those two are nobles." Watts asked in a low voice. When Hasnabi and Bellara heard Watts' question, they both pricked up their ears and wanted to know how Lace would answer.
Lai Si smiled slightly: "How could the people who betrayed the kingdom be our Yasi nobles, treat them softly, and still allow them the opportunity to attack His Majesty the Emperor?" Lai Si pointed out that the seriousness of the problem was directly raised to the highest level, and Warner was used to speak out.
Sure enough, when it came to the safety of Warner and the kingdom, Watts as the younger sister and Hasnabi as the queen would not wait to take the matter idle. They said in unison: "Of course they cannot be allowed to have the opportunity to harm His Majesty."
"Yes, so we have to use torture to make them turn over others and deal with all the betrayers. Only then will it be safe, just like how we eliminate pests in the garden." Lace used the metaphor of pests in the garden. This is also
The only metaphor she could think of to make Watts and others understand.
Both Watts and Hasnabi were very angry when they thought that there were pests in their beautiful gardens and they were destroying them. This would completely support Lace's statement.
Bellala was the only one who remained silent. She felt that Lace was terrible.
Then the officer who reported the report returned to a courtyard in the outer city. When he entered the courtyard and saw Lace, the respectful look on his face had completely disappeared, and his face became serious.
"Sir, what are your instructions on this matter?" Jackson waited in the yard with a smile on his face.
"Ahem! Miss Lace personally ordered to take a look at your methods and be sure to ask for anything useful. I'm going to take a rest and tell me the results later." The officer said with a serious face.
Jackson gestured to his men and took the officer to rest.
Soon Jackson came to the basement. Under the dim firelight, two people in rich clothes were sitting on chairs with leisurely expressions.
"Come on, get my gift." Jackson shouted in front of the two of them.
Soon, a group of young minions placed various torture instruments in front of the two of them. One of the young men laughed and said, "You are trying to scare us with such things. We are nobles."
"Hmph, nobles. I've always wanted to try this thing on nobles. Don't you two boys die too quickly." Jackson smiled and waved his hands violently. Several vicious men rushed forward, and the two of them fought.
When he tried to resist, he was punched several times by several of his men and then tied to a wooden post.
When the sharp dagger cut through the coat of one of the young men, he shouted: "You are crazy, do you know who I am?"
"Who. Tell me." Jackson was not frightened. He stared at the other person with cold eyes.
"I, I, I." The young noble stuttered, and shouted fiercely as the sharp knife slowly approached him: "My brother is Lei Corey. The lord here is King Corey. I have the family crest on my underwear.
.”
Hearing the young man's shout, the man holding the dagger trembled in fright and dropped the dagger in his hand to the ground.
Seeing such a strong reaction from the other party, the young man smiled: "Untie me quickly and let my brother know about it. You will die in an ugly way."
This person was Kerui's second brother. Seeing that he was really going to be tortured, he reported out of the house in desperation. He thought that it would be terrible to be tortured by these people. Instead, Kerui was thinking of brotherly love.
The boss won't take his own life, right?
The subordinate looked at Jackson in horror. Jackson was quite surprised and waved his hand: "Let's go." After that, he didn't care about the two people who were still tied to the pillar and quickly left the basement.
Soon, several leaders and the officers in charge rushed to Jackson's room.
Jackson asked someone to guard outside, and then told what happened in the basement. After listening, no one in the room did not change his face.
"Then, let's let him go. After all, he is King Corey's brother." Some people were already starting to get scared.
"No, what if he told lies?" Jackson objected immediately.
The officer took a few deep breaths and then stood up: "Strange to say, when we arrested them, we didn't find any relevant badges where they lived. King Kerui's parents live in the imperial capital, and I
I know that he has an elder brother named Mancini, who is in charge of Corona City. He is an upright man and is famous in Corona City for his sharp sword. This person will definitely not be Lord Mancini."
When the officer determined that the person in the basement was not Mancney, he couldn't help but add an honorific after Mancney's name.
"Wait a minute, I heard a little thing a few years ago. Corey also had a very bad second brother who made trouble in Corona and was punished in public. Many people saw it with their own eyes at the time."
The leader suddenly said.
Jackson shook his head: "The evidence in our hands can completely prove that these two people betrayed King Corey and the Kingdom of Yasi. Those spies were also caught in their residence. I am thinking that this person is a fake
It’s easy to handle. What if it’s true?”
As he said that, Jackson punched the wooden table. He had a vague feeling that the young man was telling the truth and he was Corey's brother.
"President Jackson, I will send someone to investigate immediately." A leader said eagerly.
"No, there is not enough time. Judging from the things found in their residence, they are here to destroy the Dragon Ceremony, and there are assassins at the same time. We don't even know who they want to assassinate now. When we find out his true identity, everything will be
It's too late." Jackson stopped the person who was about to run out.
At this time, another person stood up: "Then report it to Thunder Eagle City. Miss Lace must know King Corey's family, so we can solve it immediately."
Jackson raised his head and stared at the leader who spoke.
