In fact, Marianne is not splashing dirty water, and speculation about the ghost cooperating with the rebel sneak attack haunts her all the way.

The unexplained disappearance of the Grandmaster and the unusual situation in the small camp are both facts, and if the rebels provoke the official anger and end up surrounded and wiped out, it is the Kingsley family who will benefit the most.

Based on the simple corollary of who benefits the most and who is most suspicious, Marianne's suspicions are reasonable, at least not to allow the use of force to become the mainstream of the city council.

Don't look at the more than 150 people who were captured, and the relationship covers almost the entire upper class in the York area, but there are probably more than a dozen important people among them, who are either the only ones in the family or have blood relatives with the great nobles of the empire.

Mark, for example, doesn't even have the qualifications to get into the carriage. Although he is a descendant of the Cromwell family, one of the eighteen elements, he still has older brothers and sisters, who are young and unsuccessful, and are not qualified to participate in the core of the family, and have no real power and followers.

If he really died, he would die, and only those close to him would shed tears for him, and his brothers and sisters might have to celebrate with a crown in no one's place, and there was one less inheritance.

The trouble now is that he is not dead, and the kidnappers do not ask the family to ransom the person as in the traditional process.

It's okay to ransom people with money, even if it's expensive, grit your teeth and pay for it, it's a big deal that Mark's annual annuity will shrink greatly in the future.

If you are afraid, you are afraid that the robbers have ideals to pursue, and people don't want money, as long as they build the country independently.

And they are very considerate, we know that your authority as Mayor Hoffa is not enough, it's okay, let's wait, won't the imperial envoy come soon?

After Marianne and the others made a brief note, they were taken to the mayor's private reception room, and Captain Davidson smiled at her as he left: "Miss Marianne, please wait here for a while, and when the mayor has finished the meeting, I want to talk to you face to face." ”

Marianne said, "Can my friend and my brother go home first? ”

Davidson immediately agreed, and the others returned to West's Manor in an airship, bringing back the news of their safe return to calm the mind, and of course to inform the butler Gabor that his son Pittinger had also been captured by the rebels.

Marianne sat in the reception room with Fat Orange in her arms and waited for Mayor Hoffa, although Fat Orange himself said that it was too far away from Jacques now that the contact between the two sides had been cut off, but Marianne still felt that Fat Orange would feel much more at ease by her side.

After waiting for a while, Mayor Hoffa finally came, and as soon as he entered the room, he leaned casually in the sofa, leaving aside the shelves and majesty of the superior.

Hoffa stared at the ceiling for half a minute before straightening up and saying, "Miss Marianne, thank you very much, when I thought the situation was out of control, your presence made me take back the initiative, and I will remember what you did." Also, I heard you mention Vanessa, is she okay?"

Marianne kept a "business smile" and said softly, "Thank you, Lord Mayor, these are all things I should do."

We stopped tracking the rebel convoy as we were about to enter the mountains of Draenor in the north, at about 11 a.m. yesterday.

Until then, as far as I know, Vanessa is fine, the rebels know who she is, and they treat her well, well, there is a carriage to sit in.

Also, it was because of Vanessa's request that my friend was treated and saved his life. I'm sure my friend can help us get Miss Vanessa out. ”

As he spoke, he gently touched Fat Orange's short hair, making Fat Orange cooer unconsciously, as if he was promising Jacques.

Hoffa said, "It seems that you have a lot of faith in your friend." However, the city council has just made a decision that we will not do anything until the Imperial Envoy arrives, and everything will have to wait for the Imperial Envoy to decide.

In other words, an armed attack on the rebels will be delayed until the arrival of the Imperial envoy. ”

Marianne tasted it and said, "When will the Imperial Envoy arrive?"

"When we received the news, His Majesty the Emperor had just decided to send a special envoy for negotiations to respond to the request for negotiation submitted by the Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom, and then it should be to determine the candidate for the envoy, form an envoy, calculate the time, and the envoy will arrive in about a week or two. Hoffa said.

Marianne picked up the hospitality tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "I'm going to inspect the coal mines in the north tomorrow." ”

Hoffa stood up, walked around the corner of the reception room a few times, finally stopped, and said, "In the town of Helaheim, there is an innkeeper Amos, go find him, he will help you in any way he can." ”

Marianne stood up and bowed down and said, "Okay, then I'll take my leave first, and Sister Ling will definitely return safely." ”

"Then I won't delay you, I'll ask Davidson to arrange for someone to take you home. ”

"Thank you, Mayor Hofa, just send me to Nightless Street. ”

......

Hoffa stood at the window, watched Marianne leave in the car, and said, "It seems that her confidence comes from that black flame." ”

A voice in the room responded, "Old friend, he's strong." However, without them, I could have rescued Miss Vanessa. ”

"It's a different story now, and if I rush to save Vanessa, I'm going to be in open opposition to the city council's resolution," said Hoffa. Those old men took the handle and arranged me in front of the envoy, and the gain outweighed the loss. Let the little girls of the West family try it, even if they fail, they don't dare to do anything to Vanessa. We can focus on the envoy, and we don't know which difficult guy in the royal family is coming. Let's step up, I need to plan the follow-up according to his attitude. ”

The voice asked, "So, the investigation into Kingsley?"

Hoffa's words revealed a cold murderous intent: "Check! And Roman West, all those who support the suppression by force must be investigated, those thieves who can only rob homes and houses cannot come up with such a plan, and even the information that the envoy wants to come is only known to a small group of people in the city council at that time."

Someone must be playing tricks on these brainless thieves!

If I find out, no matter who it is, I will make him worse than dead.

If Vanessa had someone to do with it, I would make them pay. ”

......

Marianne went to visit Jacques's father, and as a direct consequence, the "Flowers of the Heart" bar, which had not been closed for more than a year, was closed for a week, leaving many mercenaries who were accustomed to passing the time here without a place to go.

There were a number of fights and brawls in other bars and bathhouses on the street that night, causing the city guards to run for their lives.

It's just a trifle, the most popular city legend tonight is the mechanical fish that can fly in the sky.

The most excited native of the New World can finally raise his eyebrows and complain about the guy from the Empire: I dislike that our New World is a rural place, there is no train, there is no telegraph, oh, we will fly directly to the sky!
