"Moreover, the rumor also said that when those people kidnapped the saint, they carried the saint onto their own horse, and then rode with the saint. So, several elders proposed to investigate the matter, because it
There is nothing we can do to stop Saintess Guan Qingyu." The Great Elder said with a hint of helplessness.
"Later, several maids who followed the saint that day were interrogated, and they admitted the facts mentioned in the rumors. Later, several elders believed that the twenty maids had not protected the saint, and their sin was unforgivable, so they sent them to prison.
Locked up." The great elder sighed.
Diane Snowsall had been listening quietly, her eyes were very calm. After the Great Elder finished speaking, she said, "Does the Great Elder know who spread the initial rumors?"
"This, my subordinates haven't confirmed it yet." The great elder said with a twinkle in his eye.
Diane Shesar looked at the three elders and found that they did not dare to look into her eyes, and they all lowered their heads and pretended to drink tea.
Diane Chesar suddenly felt an ominous premonition in her heart.
Could it be that...the Great Elder and the others also betrayed her? These three people were the ones who helped her rise to the position of saintess from the beginning.
"So, who admitted those things?" Diane Schersar asked.
The three elders looked at each other, and then the elder spoke: "It's Aili, Xueli, and Yuli."
"Then do you know why the three Aili people said this? What method did the third elder and the others use to do it?"
"...This, my subordinates don't know." The great elder shook his head.
Diane Snowsall asked some more questions, but at every critical point, the three elders shook their heads and said they didn't know.
In the end, Diane Snowsall could only let the three people leave first.
After the three people left, Diane Chesar couldn't calm down for a long time.
The information the great elder gave her was also very limited, not much more than what her confidant maid told her just now.
After thinking for a moment, Diane Chesar called the maid beside her in.
"Gather everyone together and accompany me to see the people in the prison." Diane Chesar stood up and said.
Diane Snowsall led a group of maids to the cell in a mighty manner. Along the way, everyone who saw her showed a surprised expression, and then saluted one after another.
cell.
The Xuesar clan's cell is a dungeon, located southwest of the clan's temple.
The person responsible for punishment in the clan is the ninth elder among the ten elders.
When Diane Snow arrived, the ninth elder who had received the news was already waiting at the door of the cell.
The Ninth Elder was dressed in dark red robes and looked very solemn.
"I've seen the saint." The ninth elder bowed and saluted.
"Ninth Elder, you are here just in time. I heard that the twenty maids of mine were imprisoned because they failed to protect me. At that time, I ordered them to leave and it had nothing to do with them. Moreover, now I
They are back safely, please help the Ninth Elder to release them." Diane Snow said in a cold voice.
A trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the ninth elder: "Holy girl, this... is not good."
"What's wrong?" Diane Snowsall looked at the Ninth Elder coldly.
"The decision to imprison those twenty people was made by the elders. Without the consent of all the members of the elders, I cannot rashly release them." The ninth elder bowed, seemingly respectful, but in fact he said in a tough tone.
"Presumptuous!" Diane Snow said coldly, "They left under my order, which is right. Even if they are wrong, my maids have their own discipline. When will I have to ask the elders to do so?"
