Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Washing the Charges
"You found the Queen's ring?"
In the same hall, King Croso and the Queen were still at the top.
King Crosso asked Tom, the guard below, suspiciously.
"Yes, Your Majesty the King! The Queen's ring was swallowed by a duck. I was lucky enough to find the duck. When it was slaughtered, I found Her Majesty the Queen's emerald ring." Tom's tone was suppressed.
Live in excitement.
"Really? Someone fed the ring into the duck's belly, and then killed the duck to find the ring, right?" The queen looked at Tom with contempt, then lowered her head, looking at her own
Hands, said coldly.
"No! Your Highness! I really didn't, I didn't do such a thing!" Tom seemed to have poured cold water on someone, and he was flustered and quickly defended.
"It's hard to say such a thing! Maybe the thief had to do this in order to survive!" The handsome Richard Johnson sneered, pointing and scolding.
The original joy had disappeared, and Tom was frightened.
King Crosso sat at the head of the table, his face as calm as water, with no depth to be seen.
William was also in the hall. Seeing this situation, he had to stand up and said, "Your Majesty the King, when I was with Tom, I can prove that Tom did not do what Mr. Richard said.
.”
William suddenly smiled slightly, "Actually, I'm not boasting. Tom was able to find Her Royal Highness the Queen's ring in the duck's belly. He got the inspiration from my mouth."
"Your Majesty the King, you don't think I stole Her Majesty the Queen's ring, do you?" William joked.
King Crosso smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Zorro, you are a respected guest that I invited! Although the emerald ring is precious, it is far less than my friendship with you! How could I doubt you?"
"
In fact, the real reason is that Crosso felt that William was always under his animal surveillance and had no chance to steal the emerald ring.
After hearing this, William smiled politely and nodded slightly.
Richard Johnson's brows furrowed secretly.
Here, Tom waited for the conversation between the king and William to end before he dared to interrupt and explain himself.
"Yes, Your Majesty the King, it was Lord Zorro who gave me the advice, saying that Her Royal Highness the Queen's ring may not have been stolen by a thief, but may have been eaten by a small animal. Only then was I lucky enough to find the stolen duck.
." Tom also explained to King Crosso.
King Crosso looked at Tom, who looked nervous, and then at William, who looked calm. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Tom, where did you say you caught this duck?"
Tom's body trembled unnoticeably, and then he said calmly, "Your Majesty, it's in the small courtyard where you often go."
"Where is that?" Crosso whispered to himself, and then made a decision, "Then take me to see it."
When the king speaks, others naturally dare not raise objections.
Tens of minutes later, the group arrived at the small courtyard.
On the land beside the creek in the courtyard, there were several ducks surrounding them, lazily basking in the sun.
Seeing so many coming, the expressions of these ducks changed a little, and their croaking sounds came one after another.
King Crosso's eyes immediately turned to him.
"Those terrible humans are here again!"
"Don't be afraid! We have so many ducks, they don't dare to come over."
"You said the same thing when that human came over just now!"
"That's how poor Dak and Das were captured by that human being."
"It's none of my business that Dak was captured! It was Dak who ran slowly!"
"Then we should leave before humans come."
"If you want to leave, you can go. I am still here feeling the warmth of the sun. I have already told you that Duck ran slowly because he ate the queen's ring and was captured by the human! You want to go.
Let’s go, cowardly duck!”
"I'm not a timid duck! I'm a bold duck! What about Darth?"
In the eyes of ordinary people, the chaotic duck calls are, in Crosso's ears, a magical language that can be understood.
After listening to the conversation of so many ducks, Crosso suddenly understood that his queen's emerald ring had really been swallowed by a duck unintentionally.
My loyal bodyguard Tom was really wronged!
Crosso immediately turned his head and said to Tom, "Tom, yes, you are innocent, you are still the loyal guard! I wrongly blamed you!"
Tom had been waiting for this sentence for a long time and cried with joy.
But Crosso's queen shrank her eyes. She spoke softly, as if without any prejudice, and said to the king, "Your Majesty, should we investigate again? Just such words are not enough to convince all the people.
People are convinced!”
Tom suddenly became nervous.
"Is there anyone who doubts what I say with my reputation?" Crosso asked his queen with a majestic look.
"Of course not!" The queen did not dare to speak.
Crosso then nodded, turned around, looked at Tom, and suddenly felt a little apologetic in his heart. He felt that it was wrong to doubt his loyal guard, so Crosso put on a gentle expression and said, "Tom, my loyal guard
Guard, I have wronged you! I am so sorry!"
"Your Majesty, you don't need to be like this! I can understand!" Tom said quickly.
"No, you can't understand how uncomfortable a king feels after doing such a thing! Tom, I want to make it up to you! You can make a request to me, and as long as I can do it, I will agree to it! I even even
I can give you the best position in the palace!"
When Crosso said this, Richard Johnson's face became ugly.
No one noticed his expression except the queen.
The queen's eyes flashed with distress.
But Tom was in a dilemma at this time and couldn't make a decision for a while.
King Crosso was not in a hurry, and smiled kindly, "Don't worry, Tom, you still have enough time to think about this matter. When you think about it, tell me, my promise is permanent!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tom immediately bowed deeply and thanked you.
Crosso smiled lightly, turned back and said to William, "My dear friend, Zorro, you did me a favor!"
"I don't dare to take credit for this. It's just a small suggestion. Everything still depends on Tom's luck. Obviously, the goddess of luck likes him very much."
"Young men will always be liked by others!" Crosso chuckled, "However, without your advice, Tom would not be able to touch the skirt of the goddess of luck. In this case, I will lose a loyal friend.
Guard, so I want to thank you, Zorro."
"You can also make a request of me, Zorro, as long as I can fulfill it." Crosso made a fuss, but in fact it was just to win over William.
The jealous light flashed in Richard Johnson's eyes behind him.
I want your white snake meat!
Naturally, William did not dare to say what was in his heart, so he just said, "Your Majesty, the only thing I hope is that justice will not be late. Obviously, you have achieved this, so I have nothing more to ask for!"
