Chapter 176: The Deflected Search Team

Southern border, Longjiao Province.

A team of more than a hundred investigators walked through the mountain road. They wore black cloaks and armor, wore long swords at their waists, and carried crossbows and arrows. They were extremely elite.

In this team, the lowest-strength members are also Sequence 2 members, while there are about 60 Sequence 3 and above personnel, more than 20 Sequence 4 elites, and the leader is a Sequence 6 Grand Investigator.

He is about 30 years old, with a solemn face and a tall bamboo-shaped hat on his head, which makes him quite dignified.

"Is Wenlani Viscounty ahead?" The black war horse raised its front legs, stepped on the ground, and then stood on the spot. This is a hybrid horse-type monster. Although it is only Sequence 2, its endurance and speed are far superior to ordinary ones.

horses.

"Yes, sir. Now the person in charge of Wenlani Viscounty is the daughter of the former viscount, Gweir..."

"An unmarried girl?" The prosecutor frowned upon hearing this.

"Yes."

"There must be a monster when something goes wrong. How can a girl like her who doesn't know the world manage such a good territory? I'm afraid she is a puppet of some dark force, huh."

"Let's go take a look." After saying that, the officer waved his whip again and led the people forward.

Horse hooves stirred up bursts of dust, and a group of black-clothed cavalry gradually marched towards Shanying City.

In the lord's mansion in the city, Lu Bin was busy and orderly directing everyone.

"Have the arrangements been made for the fields outside the city?"

"It's been arranged. It has been walked over several times with the cows. It looks very messy and is no longer as neat as before."

"The street was specifically asked to be cleaned. It has not been cleaned for a week, and a lot of garbage was deliberately thrown away to make it look dirty."

"Let a few flexible veterans prepare to cause trouble and protest. This will show that our governance level is poor."

"The soldiers who were normally trained were disbanded and went home to work in the fields, and a group of people were temporarily recruited as soldiers, so that they looked more 'normal'."

"Several other surrounding towns have made similar arrangements and have sent people to take action."

"Don't worry, boss. What the other party can't see is just a performance, haha." Several dark-skinned old farmers said to Lu Bin with a smile.

"Of course I trust you, but who knows what extraordinary actions those people will make." Lu Bin shook his head and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's it, let's go home first, as promised before."

"No problem!" After saying that, everyone dispersed.

"Miss Jialan, what do you think?" After Lu Bin finished explaining, he was still a little worried and asked Lorraine Hill beside him to see if there was anything missing.

"No, you have done a good job." Lorraine Hill raised one hand, spread the hair on his shoulders, then walked to the middle of the courtyard, closed his eyes and prayed.

Then a gust of wind gradually picked up and slowly swept through the entire city, covering up some imperfect details and making them more natural.

In the afternoon, a burst of rapid horse hooves entered the city. These elite cavalry stopped in the square of the city and looked around.

"Hello, sir, who are you?" A soldier came forward and asked, nodding and bowing.

"Where is your lord? I have been ordered to inspect the counties in the province." The search officer held the reins in one hand and glanced around the square, asking about the local situation. The streets here are similar to other places, and they are also a bit chaotic.

, it is indeed a small city.

"The Lord's Mansion is on the other side of the street, and Miss Gueverre currently lives there." The soldier pointed to a wide street.

"Very well, let's go." After saying that, the group of people continued to move forward until they reached the lord's mansion before dismounting.

Seeing the menacing approach of these people, the guard at the gate hurried in to report, and soon a young housekeeper led someone out to greet them.

"Hello, sir, what's the reason for your sudden visit? Miss Guerwer asked me to entertain you."

"There is something wrong." He said as he walked, and kept looking at the situation inside the lord's mansion. Seeing that the beautiful environment here was completely different from the streets outside, he understood clearly.

She is indeed an aristocratic lady, she doesn't care about the outside scene, she only cares about the environment where she lives.

After climbing the steps of the mansion and entering the hall, the investigator asked his subordinates to wait outside while he only led 10 people inside.

"Welcome, I am Gweir, and I am also the current owner of the territory." A girl in a crow dress saluted, and then asked the maids to come over and serve tea.

"Hello, Miss Guerwer." Although he didn't care about this weak aristocratic girl, he still had to maintain the superficial etiquette. After a few brief greetings, the investigator asked about the recent situation.

"I heard that at the end of last year, there was a fierce rebellion in the territory, and the previous Viscount passed away. I wonder how you survived such a crisis afterwards?"

"This has to start with a hero passing by the territory."

Gweir began to tell how the unknown knight saved the city on that burning night, and how he subdued the evil rebels at the same time.

Her words were full of praise and praise for the knight, like a girl obsessed with love, although she did have a good impression of the hero.

Looking at Gweir's appearance, the investigator judged her to be a nymphomaniac girl living in a boudoir who lacked recognition from the outside world. She probably read too many Knight Princess novels and was addicted to similar characters like that.

Such aristocratic girls are not uncommon. He meets several of them every year, and he has long been used to them.

"Ahem." Temporarily interrupting Gweir's expectations and praise for the knight, the investigator asked her about the whereabouts of the knight.

"Master Wuming left Longjiao Province some time ago and went to other places."

"Other places? Did he describe it?" The man frowned slightly. Such a powerful person would always be an unstable element wherever he went.

"I don't know, but before he left, he said that he was going to defeat some evil organization in the dark."

"Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it?" In fact, as a prosecutor, he had heard of many similar things, but most of them were untrue. Either they were exaggerating the enemy for the sake of their own face, or because

The observations are one-sided and the inferences are full of errors.

"There should be, because my father may have died because of them." As he spoke, Gweir sobbed slightly, telling how the evil butler confuses his father and gradually corrupts the power in the territory, which finally leads to

Civil commotion.

"Oh, do you still have this kind of medicine? Do you have any samples left? I want to take a look."

"I don't know about this. I usually leave it to my servants to deal with it." Geweir said according to the previous instructions.

"What about the housekeeper? Where is he?"

"He's in the dungeon. If you want to see him, I can ask someone to guide you." Gweir said he didn't care.

"Hmph, go and meet him. Maybe we can find some clues about your father's death."

Shortly after finishing speaking, several guards, led by Lu Bin, took the men in black to a lower cell.

"The person imprisoned here is the former housekeeper, Buworth." Lubin stopped at the intersection, and then asked the search officer to lead the three of them to face the arrested housekeeper alone.

The housekeeper who was locked in the cell saw someone coming and shouted in surprise.

"I was unjustly accused. It's all those people's fault. They deceived the eldest lady and then arrested me. I am the one who is loyal to the Wenlani family."

"Shut up!" A black-clothed sergeant hit the railing with a whip, making the housekeeper jump in fright before his voice suddenly disappeared.

"I ask, you answer." The investigator, wearing a thick black cloak, stood in front of the iron fence, staring at the housekeeper with cold eyes. Behind him stood a group of sergeants in black, with a particularly solemn aura.

"Yes, yes, you asked." The butler's voice softened and became weaker and weaker.

"Did you use the potion to confuse the former Viscount?"

"No, I didn't. That's a frame-up, a frame-up!"

"Shut up!" a sergeant shouted again, interrupting his sophistry.

The gloomy magic power overflowed from these investigators and slowly infected the cell, making the housekeeper feel cold all over his body, as if a sharp knife had been scraped across his body.

The short few seconds felt like ten years, extremely long, and finally he couldn't bear it any longer.

"I said, I said, I did buy some special spices, uh, perfume, yes." His voice trembled.

"But those are just to please the Viscount. You should also understand that a servant like me can only survive if he pleases his master."

"I did not do anything to murder my master, I am loyal."

"You are lying." Looking at the butler with cold eyes, the investigator obviously realized that the other person was not telling the truth.

As a professional investigator, he has a lot of lie detection skills and abilities. Such a clumsy deception cannot be hidden from his eyes and ears.

"I'll give you one more minute. If you still care about things, don't think about getting out alive." The voice was slow and cold, making the butler's voice freeze as if stuck, and his body became motionless.

Seeing that he didn't reply, a sergeant began to count him slowly.

"48,47,4621,20,19"

As the deadline approached, the butler's forehead began to sweat, and his hands began to tremble. He began to suspect that these people really dared to kill him, regardless of the face of the lord, Miss Gweir.

"No, no, no, I said, I said, I" He raised his hands in pain and then began to explain some things in the past.

For example, how to hook up with that line, how to buy a special potion, how to make the Viscount trust him and start hoarding money, etc.

By the time everything was explained, it was already several hours later.

These people took the prepared records and walked out of the cell dusty. Then they briefly greeted the Lord's Mansion and got on their horses.

"Why don't you adults stay and rest for a day? It's getting dark today." Seeing that these people were about to leave, the housekeeper played by Lu Bin came out to persuade them to stay.

"No, let's do it next time." The prosecutor simply made a gesture, then waved his riding crop and led the group of people to leave the city again, embarking on another road covered in smoke and dust.

The previous rumors about the Wenlani Viscounty were just bragging and exaggeration among the nobles. However, everything the former butler explained was very interesting. If the secret organization could be captured, it would be a great achievement. However, the nobles secretly engaged in small actions.

, saving money and being greedy for money are all trivial matters.

"Go forward, speed up, and reach the next city before dark!" the leading investigator shouted on his horse, and then a series of responses came from these black-clothed cavalry.

"Yes, my lord. For the empire!"

Under the dusk sky, the purple sunset spread across the horizon. Lorraine Hill was sitting on the city wall, her legs and skirt swaying in the air. She looked at the retreating team, and her heart felt light.

It can be said that these people were sent away smoothly, which saved a lot of trouble.

If they really find out that the territory is now organized and managed by rebels, I'm afraid they will have to take action then.

Although he would not kill them all, returning would be a big trouble. Lorraine Hill stuck out his tongue cutely, saying that killing was still too difficult, and then he lightly jumped off the tall tower, falling like a light kite.

Take advantage of now to step up construction and 'farming'. We need to expel troops as soon as possible.
