Chapter Seventy-Two: An Unexpected Visitor
Rohr had dinner at the restaurant with his family.
It's still a familiar taste, which makes Rohr, who has been away from home for a year, feel very familiar.
Kelm had planned to go to the palace after dinner to meet the Dawn King, but was interrupted by a sudden visitor.
The old butler walked over to Kelm, who was sitting in the main seat, and whispered a few words.
Kelm had a strange look on his face, as if something strange had happened.
"There's a guest coming, so I'll go to the study first. Luo Pei, you should accompany your brother well. Kelm wiped his face with a hot towel and left his seat and walked towards his study.
This was strange to the two Rall brothers. As a family of dukes, the Frog family usually had to wait in the reception room of the front rooms, and Kelm usually received each other there, and rarely met each other in the study of his main house.
"Is it my father's acquaintance?" Rohr asked his brother as he was away from home for a year, so he didn't know what was going on at home.
Luo Pei shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't had any acquaintances visiting recently, and my father went directly to the study to explain that the other party was already there, who had such a big face and went directly to the main house without being informed?"
Rohr looked at his father's departing back and wondered what had happened.
……
Kelm made his way to the study, which had been crowded with people talking about his dismissal.
The magic lamp in the study was on, and a figure could be faintly seen through the window.
Kelm already knew who was coming, after all, there weren't many people who could let him go directly to the study to meet.
There were two people who looked like guards standing at the door of the study, and Kelm knew that there should be two more people in the secret, and there were only a few people who could bring the guards into the human kingdom of the Flogg family.
Gently pushing open the door, a tall middle-aged man was sitting in his seat.
The man looked a little tired, but the tiredness could not hide his confident face.
"Oh, here it is, Kelm. The middle-aged man's voice was very strong.
"Why did you come here all of a sudden? Kelm closed the door and looked at the tall man sitting in his seat.
Berit Aureth, Lord of the Dawn.
Kelm apparently didn't expect Ålles' sudden visit, as he had planned to visit the palace once later.
Ålles seemed to be very familiar with Kelm, and said casually: "I haven't been out for a long time, let's see how my old friend is doing." ”
"What else? I happened to be unemployed recently, so I can take a good rest for a while. Kelm had an angry look on his face, as if he was unhappy with his dismissal.
Aures didn't notice his anger at all, took a sip of the wine on the table, and said, "Don't pretend to me, I don't know what kind of person you are?"
"I was going to go to the palace once after dinner, but you came first. Kelm found a chair and sat down, pouring himself a glass of wine. "Can you please stop stealing my wine as soon as you come?"
Åres took another sip of the wine that had been poured without the permission of his master, and smashed his mouth when he had finished drinking. "Hehe, what does it matter, what is the value of wine. ”
"Fart! These wines are shipped from overseas, and you can only get a few bottles a year!" said Kelm, who seemed to be very precious about his wine, angrily.
"Okay, okay, why are you so stingy, you haven't seen you for so long, how about inviting me to a bottle of wine. Ålles ignored Kelm's anger and said to himself.
Ålles suddenly put away his playful expression and said, "Seriously, do you know what I'm here for?"
"In order to tell me personally, I was officially removed from my position, let me get out?"
Aura shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense, do you know why I removed you from the position of commander-in-chief?"
"Why?" Kelm himself did find it strange, this time it happened too suddenly.
"I've been told that you're plotting a rebellion, and you've shown a lot of evidence. Åles poured himself another glass of wine, and Kelm's eyelids jumped.
"Who said that? What evidence?"
Åles pulled a document out of his bosom and threw it directly to Kelm.
Kelm took it and opened it to see two letters and a document inside.
"The data is an analysis of the transfer movements of the Wangcheng Guards in recent years, and the direction of funds. And those two letters......" Åles paused deliberately, as if to appease the other party. "It's your letter of negotiation with the 'Lion King'. ”
Kelm looked at the two letters in his hand in surprise and said, "How is it possible to have a letter with the Lion King!" he hurriedly opened the two letters and read them.
The letter was handwritten, and the handwriting was indeed very similar to his own, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he wrote it himself, and even had the private seal of the Flogg family at the bottom.
"I've never written about these things, where did this come from?" Kelm had thought it was just a little bit of a villain's gossip, but now he found that the problem seemed to have gotten bigger.
"The night watchman gave it to me, saying that it was intercepted on the border of the Golden Lion Kingdom, and then there is still that information for you to see. Ålles reminded Kelm.
Kelm opened the document, which, as Ålles had claimed, recorded the internal movements of the Guards in the royal city in recent years.
Including the transfer of several deputy corps commanders, the promotion of its captains. Even the flow of money in the Guards, as the head of the Guards, Kelm quickly found the problem.
"The whereabouts of nearly a million gold coins in the Guards are unknown, and it is speculated that they may have gone to buy some additional prohibited items?"
In addition to recording the financial situation, the information is also marked with a note for possible situations, in which the funds are written that prohibited items may have been purchased.
Prohibited items generally refer to some military supplies, and the Wangcheng Guards are elite troops, and it costs about fifty gold coins to arm a soldier, and one million gold coins is enough to arm twenty thousand soldiers.
And the Wangcheng Guards originally only had 50,000 people.
"Do you believe this speculation?" Kelm questioned the evidence, but vaguely felt that everything else might be true except for the use of the funds.
"Of course I don't believe it, after all, you can't take a million yourself, and you still want to detain the royal city guards?" said Olleth, who seemed to be joking. But it is true that the nobles who have been entrenched in the kingdom for 500 years cannot afford to arm a private army with millions of dollars?
"Who told you about these things and information?" Kelsem asked directly about the source.
"First the Night's Watch reported some, and then the Queen said some. ”
Queen?Night's Watchman?
The Night's Watch is a spy unit of the Kingdom of Dawn that specializes in intelligence gathering. But what about the queen?
