Chapter 16: The Grapevine

Next, everyone moved to the reception hall of the Sheriff's Department outside the prison, where Hao and Hulda were "interrogated", I have to say that this interrogation can be called the highest grade in Tobizia City in recent years, and Bige's best interrogation, which was presided over by the chief of the Sheriff's Office of Tobizia City, and the chief of the Demon Hunter Corps, the chief elder, and the second son of the Grand Duke Toby's family (the suspended Anmin Official) were tried. In line with the purpose of "improving the efficiency of the administrative department", the speed of this trial and the speed of the results are exemplary in the industry.

Restoring the scene, the chief of the Public Security Department first burped a full of alcohol, and said sharply: "What do you want to defend the suspect in the alley murder last night?"

"......" Hao had just opened his mouth to say something, but the chief man had already waved his hand, and continued, "The report said that the eight people who died tragically were all killed by a single blow by a top samurai at least level 8 or above, and then look at your information, you are only 20 years old, how can you reach such a high level as level eight? So, I announce...... Suspect Hao is not suspicious at all and will be released on the spot!"

"Bang bang!" everyone stood up and applauded the sheriff chief's wise verdict! It was clear that this was the end of the trial......

"Wait!" Hao suddenly asked loudly at the few people who were greeting each other, "What about him?"

The chief of the Public Security Bureau naturally saw Hurda in the direction of Hao's finger, flipped through the materials, and frowned: "This little beggar wandering around definitely doesn't have the strength to kill, but he must be inextricably linked with the real murderer......

"Can you let him go?" Hao asked suddenly.

"No...... For this uh, Hulda declares that he will be released on parole, and in the next year, you can't leave the province of Tobizia, you must come with the rumor!"

Everything was happy, at the gate of the Sheriff's Office, Hulda, who was walking at the back, rushed to Hao's leg with an arrow step, "poof" and prostrate on the ground, a handful of snot and a handful of eyes, "The magnanimity of the master simply makes the little one ashamed, and from now on the little one is willing to follow the master with his life!

Next, in Hao's original words, of course, you have to "take a bath first to get rid of bad luck" and "then find a high-grade place to set up a few tables", speaking of which the second son of Taylor waved his hand and said in an irresistible tone: "Take a bath and drink? Of course you have to go to my place!

"This ...... How embarrassing is this?" Hao Da was embarrassed, he wanted to set up a wine and treat him, how could he borrow someone else's place, not to mention that the two sides didn't have a deep friendship.

"Isn't it because you look down on me and don't want to make me a friend?" Taylor stepped forward and whispered to Hao.

"Second son...... I ...... "Hao is speechless, since this is the case, it is better to be respectful, anyway, if you don't eat free food, you don't eat for nothing, this duke's son who suddenly appeared seems to have something for himself, so I will cooperate with him, just to see what is there to do with my poor dick?" Thinking of this, Hao simply laughed and said, "Hahaha, then according to what you said, I will treat you and go to your house, but remember to give me a discount when you check out at the end......!"

When a few people heard this, they felt that this kid named Hao was really interesting to talk about, and the son of the Grand Duke would ask you for food money? They all laughed together, and then the Sheriff's Office and the Demon Searcher still belonged to the working hours, and they each said goodbye and went back to their respective homes, and when they left, it was inevitable that it would be another greeting, and when the fat chief went to ask Bobbi if he wanted to go back to the stronghold with him, the fat chief touched a gray nose, and Bobbi just said honestly, "I will naturally go when I want to go, obviously, I don't want to go now!"

Along the way, Taylor invited Hao and Bobby to sit in his luxurious carriage, one was interested in making friends, the other was interested in inquiring, and the topic naturally kept talking, and Hao also roughly understood some basic information about the province of Tobizia.

The area of the province of Tobizia is considered to be among the top in the kingdom, but such a large area is divided into three parts from east to west, the Black Sea fortress in the east and the garrison of the three central armies mentioned above belong to the direct jurisdiction of the military department, which is a part! The vast and fertile land on the west side of the galaxy belongs to the private fief of the wealthy Grand Duke Tobe, and in the end, only the middle of the city of Tobizia and the surrounding plots are really under the jurisdiction of the governor of the province of Tobezia.

In this way, on the surface, it seems to be the position of governor of the province of Tobisia to survive in the cracks, but in fact, the mystery can only be seen through by insiders.

First of all, on the one hand, the province of Tobizia is located at the eastern gate of the kingdom, and the lucrative border trade naturally brings a staggering amount of taxes, and on the other hand, there are enough three army groups to raise in the east! This army of more than 150,000 eats and drinks every day, which is an astronomical amount. According to the constitution of the kingdom, this huge amount of money must also pass through the hands of the governor.

As for that responsibility, well, the army has its own set of rules to manage itself, and the private fief of the Grand Duke Toby in the west is not even the turn of the Governor to be half distracted, this is nominally the Governor, but in fact the head of the city, how can there be any great responsibility?

So it's a ...... that has both oil and water and is not only responsible

"Oh, what a first-class beauty!" Hao exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, the old man of my family said the same, and even paid me the way to the Governor, but I am not uncommon at all!" said Taylor, half-jokingly, "and even if I had a choice, I would rather be the mercenary like you two, and be a mercenary at ease, how good?"

Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, this full man doesn't know that hungry men are hungry, on this issue, the angle between himself and Taylor is too different, naturally there is nothing to argue, it just so happens that the castle has also arrived, and then Hao goes to bathe and change clothes, naturally he does not need to be accompanied by the son of the dignified duke, but Taylor arranged a few maids to serve Hao, which suddenly made Hao feel unaccustomed, after a few prevarications, the maids stayed outside the door and waited for the call, Hulda was honored to stay and serve the master.

In fact, what Hao thinks is very simple, this Hulda is probably even more sludge than himself, since he is in the pool, the two old men will simply soak together......

"Hey, Ada, tell me about this Taylor's family, after all, you are a local, and you should be able to hear a lot of information. While taking a bath, Hao asked on a whim.

Who expected Hulda to hear this, immediately became excited, this is his strength, you must know that being a beggar, that is, walking the streets and alleys every day, the gossip is open to the mouth, only to hear Hurda immediately talk like a river," The current Grand Duke Toby is already more than 80 years old, and he has two sons, the eldest son Ronini, now they all call him the Little Duke, and the second son is this Taylor, and this Taylor was born destined not to be mortal, because he is the treasure that Grand Duke Toby got after the indulgence of drinking after his sixtieth birthday, tsk, to say that this Toby Grand Duke is really powerful, sixty years old and so powerful, it really makes me wait for shame, I heard that he eats every night......"

"......" Hao copied and poured water on Hurda and reminded, "Talking about the point!"

"Oh, well, at that time, the little duke of Ronini was in his thirties, and even Ronni's eldest son was nine years old, so it stands to reason that the old duke should not have a son, but guess what?"

"I guess your sister!" Hao immediately scolded unceremoniously, we are people who pay attention to communication efficiency, you actually came to hang my appetite, right? Then Hao said angrily, "It's just to come down......!

"Oh, sir, in your words, the wise you simply make me admire you like the water of the Mississippi River, uncontrollable, and like that ......" Hulda saw Hao raise his palm, and immediately said, "In the face of such an accident, Grand Duke Toby did not hesitate at all, and asked for it!" As for Taylor's brother Ronini, it was an honest and filial man, and everything he did for half his life was to listen to his father, and as for this sudden brother, to be honest, this was the only unfulfilled dream he had when he was a child. So Taylor's second son has enjoyed extreme doting since he was a child, it is reported that Taylor had a time when he was a child and shouted to see ice and snow, and Archduke Toby did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to ship ten ships of ice from Frezzard's Glaser Harbor, and then he liked to fight on horseback for a while, and Archduke Toby took a huge risk to take him to the Black Sea fortress with a lot of connections, hey, there are too many examples to mention......"

"Then don't lift it, continue to talk about the point!" Hao had already gotten up, ready to dry and get dressed.

"Oh, it is said that when Taylor was nine years old, a small incident triggered the reflection of Grand Duke Toby, that day Taylor was bullied by his eldest nephew, and little Taylor with two lines of tears asked his father aggrievedly, why can you be a duke? My brother can also be a duke? That bastard nephew can also be a duke? Only me, can't!?" Hulda performed hard, not to mention, this part vividly portrayed Taylor's grievances at that time, it seems that he is usually wronged," Archduke Toby thought about this issue for a long time, and three years later, at the dinner party of Taylor's twelfth birthday, Archduke Toby announced that Taylor would leave the manor, leave the fief, and go to live in the family castle in the city of Tobizia on the east side of the river.

Hao was already dressed at this time, nodded and said with a smile: "I probably have some ideas, and the next ...... Let's go and have a good drink with the second son!"
