Chapter 16 Showing affection can also hurt
The Simon Exchange is right under the noses of the Byrons family and the Watchman, so what is happening here cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Byrons family and the Watchman. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is no secret that there are people on the black market who sell high-priced special passes, and the members of the Ombudsman know about it. However, the person who sold the special pass at a high price was the person of the director of the defense bureau of Rimi City, and Dan Yunhe was very loyal to the royal family on the surface, and the branch of the Supervisory Council in Rimi City had a very good impression of him, plus this person would occasionally report to the people of the Supervisory Council who bought special passes from him, so the people of the Supervisory Council believed this person's statement, and he was using the special pass to attract foreign spies.
In fact, this person reported to the Supervisory Commission the people who bought the special pass, and it was only because the person who came to buy the special pass had threatened him or was suspected of wanting to go dark, and he had to report these people to the Inspectorate in order to ensure his own safety. There are really not many people who come to the black market to buy special passes from him, and since he came to the Simon Trading Post, he has only done two transactions in total, and sold three special passes.
The price of the special pass is 200 tairong per pass, and the merchant group promises to give him a 10% commission for each special pass sold, which is 20 tairong. This person's monthly salary is only 100 Wen Tai Rong money, counting Dan Yunhe's reward, he can't earn two Tairong money in a year, and twenty Tairong money is already a huge amount of money for him. Besides, he can also raise the price on his own and earn an extra amount of money. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have worked for the merchant group behind Danyunha's back.
When Leah came to him for a special pass, he wasn't suspicious. Because the other party is completely like a rich lady who is ignorant of the world, her four maids also look like ordinary innocent girls. The moment he judged people by his appearance, he was destined to die at the hands of Leah.
Not to mention that this person did something to Leah's personal maid when he was doing business, and also verbally hinted that several people said that as long as they agreed to their "special conditions", they could sell the special pass cheaper. The price he offered Leah was 300 taeyong money each, and then he pretended to cut off 50 tae, wanting to sell the special pass to Leah for 250 yuan in marriage, and if Leah agreed to his request, he would sell the special pass to Leah for 200 yuan.
However, Leah didn't care about the price from the beginning, and the moment this bastard did something to her maid, she was already murderous. This man was so laid-back in the black market that he didn't even have the slightest vigilance. The Inspectorate protected him from anyone he planted in the black market, so he didn't have to worry about being beaten or assassinated.
However, Leah did not rob the man when she kidnapped him, but sent a maid to lure him to a place where no one was around, and then tied him up with a stick, and took him to a deserted outskirts. This person's special pass and the small notebook that recorded the information of the special pass were all carried with him, and after he was caught, these things were naturally taken away by Leah.
Neither Dan Yunhe nor the merchant group knew where the secret code on the special pass recorded the owner's identity, age, and physiognomy was, so they directly added another layer of code to an inconspicuous place in the special pass. These codes were obvious for easy searching, and Leah was able to find them easily. It was a bit more cumbersome to decipher, but the code wasn't complicated, and with Leah's abilities, it was only a matter of time before she could decipher it.
This man's body was found on November 7, 139 New Calendar, and it was November 9 when Dan Yunhe knew about it, and Dan Yunhe led his cronies to the Ximen Trading Post on the evening of November 10.
On the same day, Leah invited Maier to dinner. Since Leah is a guest, the restaurant and dinner are served by the Qingshi Palace side, and the main dish is Taerong cuisine. Leah had eaten Taeyong dishes and loved Taeyong pastries, but she wasn't happy at all about this dinner.
Leah had thought that Mel would be alone with her, but he actually called his princesses as well. Maier asks the princesses to greet Leah one by one and let them get to know each other. The three princesses-to-be were among them, and Julis called Leah "the fourth batch" at the dinner table, and looked at her with a mocking look when she spoke, which made Leah angry.
This guy wants to make trouble...... Damn it...... Serious matters...... There will be a chance to clean you up later......
The other princesses and would-be princesses looked at Leah with wary eyes. They did this not because there was another woman by Mel's side, but because they had learned of the plot of the Kingdom of Elt from Xiaoxiao.
As we all know, Mel has nothing to hide from Xiaoxiao, and will tell her anything about it, and marriage is no exception. Xiaoxiao was worried that Leah would be bad for the Byron family, so she told the others what Mel had explained to her about the inheritance law of the Elt nobles. A common enemy can turn hostile people into allies, and Leah's appearance makes the princess and princesses of Mel temporarily form an alliance against foreign enemies.
In addition to verbal taunts, the princess and the princess-to-be launched other offensives. Leah is the princess of an allied country, and even a verbal attack will trigger a diplomatic incident, and a direct attack will only harm the Byrons family, not good. So the princess and the princess-to-be have a different way of thinking, they are women, they also understand women, and they know how to hurt women.
Although Leah is about to get engaged to Myer, she is still single. Even if she has a lover in the country, the lover is not by her side. If the princess and the princess-to-be keep showing affection with Mel, giving Leah a feeling that she is the only one who is excluded, no one hurts and no one loves, she will definitely get hurt.
As it turned out, the attacks of the princesses and would-be princesses worked. They showed affection to Mel in various ways, and finally brought the child to the table, and the family was happy, but there was no Leah's share. In the face of the questioning of the princess and the princess-to-be, the single Leah had to force a smile and say some words of praise and praise, and the scene was more and more abuse.
The worst thing is that the princess and the princess-to-be show love for Maier not on the spot, but on the spot, but on the spot, and the same is true for Maier's love for them and the children. Leah has never felt family affection since she was born, nor has she experienced love, and the strong emotions coming from the dinner table make her feel a tingling in her heart.
Damn it...... Damn it...... Abominable abominable abomination...... Fake ...... It's all fake...... It's all fake......
Leah comforted herself in her heart so that tears would not flow uncontrollably. The corners of her mouth were stubbornly raised, refusing to show the slightest sense of loss, and she always maintained an elegant smile on her face.
Get down to business...... Get down to business...... I'm here to get down to business...... I'll have to find a way to get some Tayyong goblins out of that bastard...... Then I can sell them and get a lot of money...... With money, I can get the support of more nobles...... I also got important information...... Great-grandfather will definitely cancel the engagement...... Definitely......
At the thought of canceling the engagement, a sense of loss welled up in Leah's heart. She didn't know why, maybe it was because of her desire for family and love, or maybe Leah was twenty-two years old this year, and she belonged to the "older unmarried young woman" in the new world, and it was not easy for her to find another in-law.
Getting married or something...... I'm not interested at all......
Leah comforted herself again.
Men are either idiots or idiots who think with their lower bodies...... Either I am at my disposal, or I only care about my beauty and body...... Getting married or something...... Getting married or something...... I'm not unusual......
In constant self-comfort, dinner is over. Mel has been dealing with his wife and children, and he doesn't even have time to talk to Leah, and naturally Leah doesn't have a chance to ask him for Taeyong Fairy.
On November 11, Dan Yunha, led by police officers from the Ximen Trading Post, went to the place where the bodies of his men were found. The Ximen Trading Post Police Station has investigated some information, most of which was provided by the Supervisory Commission. The Ombudsman said the deceased had been in contact with several beautiful women before his disappearance. After their investigation, these beautiful women have an Elt accent, and there is a high probability that they are spies of the Elt Kingdom.
The news reached the Inspectorate headquarters in Byron City on November 9, and Gray, who had been sitting at the headquarters for two days, immediately concluded that the Elt women were Princess Leah and her personal maid. On the 8th, Gray found out that someone on the black market was selling high-priced special passes while checking the data files, and checked all the relevant information on the same day.
After receiving information that Princess Leia and her personal maid had contact with Dan Yunhe's subordinates, Gray felt that Dan Yunhe's subordinates were probably really selling special passes, otherwise Leah and the others would have to walk through the dangerous jungle to reach the edge of Byron City.
Gray spent the first half of his life traveling from north to south, but even he didn't dare to try to make it through the jungle because it would be too dangerous. In addition, both the Inspectorate and the Hunters Guild of Byron City have set up observation posts on the edges, both to prevent spies from entering the city through the jungle and to prevent beasts from coming out and injuring people.
The probability of Leah and the others sneaking through the jungle and avoiding the observation station is very low, so low that it is negligible. In this way, it is very likely that Leah and the others came from the Stonewall checkpoint. Gray immediately sent someone to the Stonewall checkpoint to verify the situation, and the checkpoint said that on the 4th, five female members of the Supervisory Commission had passed through the checkpoint using special passes, and the checkpoint had provided them with horses, which had not yet been returned.
The five horses were left at the house of the villagers where they were staying, and they never returned after making trouble in the officials' office area. On the 10th, the villagers sent the five horses to the police station. The police station recognized the five horses as official horses and sent them to the Horse Management Bureau, which returned them to the Stonewall checkpoint on the morning of the 11th.
Regardless of whether these horses have been returned to their original owners, the identities of their users have been confirmed. Although he was mentally prepared, the fact that Leah and the others used the special pass to pass through the Stonewall checkpoint still shocked Gray.
The only people who can get the special pass are the royal family members of the Byron Kingdom, high-ranking officials and members of the Supervisory Council, and the royal family members are currently those people, and it is impossible for them to resell the special pass, and even if the high-ranking officials want to resell it, there is no supply, and if they sell their own special pass, the buyer must be similar to their age and appearance, and it is impossible to get five special passes from them at one time.
The same is true of the Supervisory Commission. However, the Supervisory Commission is an intelligence service, and there will be casualties in intelligence warfare. Sometimes the Special Pass of the Dead cannot be retrieved and can be exploited by the enemy. If the enemy doesn't know how to use the special pass, just find someone to replace him, and he will definitely be discovered. Even if they understand how to use the Special Pass, it will be difficult to get together five Special Passes that can be used.
Difficulty doesn't mean impossible. Thinking of this, Gray immediately sent someone to Hope City to find Changrong, asking her to report the list of the martyrs and missing persons of the Supervision Council, as well as their identity information, and specially asked Changrong to write down whether their relics had been recovered.
It would be a daunting task to compile the list of those who had died in the service of the Supervisory Commission. It would not be so difficult to count only the number of sacrifices of official members who had special passes. Since its integration, less than 700 full members of the Supervisory Commission have died or disappeared in the line of duty, of which more than 300 have died or disappeared in the city of Rimi.
Chang Rong returned to the headquarters of Byron City, and was taken aback after counting the data. She had long known that there was a problem in Limi City, but she didn't expect the Supervision Committee to pay such a big loss in Limi City. Now Changrong didn't know that among the more than 300 people, nearly 300 were killed by Dan Yunhe and the rebel forces who supported him, otherwise her performance would not have been as simple as being taken aback.
The investigation on the side of Gray, Changrong and Danyun River has not made progress for the time being.
The perspective returns to the Bluestone Palace on November 11.
At noon that day, Leah, who had no breakfast and had no appetite for lunch, took her personal maid out for a walk. Before she knew it, she was near the main hall.
Shirley was giggling back and forth with Al, Willy, and Wayne under the watchful eye of the Taeyong fairy maid, and Hart was nearby, sitting under the tree with the quiet Deella and Raella. Deira and Rayla leaned their little heads on Hart's left and right shoulders respectively, as if they were asleep, and the corners of their mouths were sweet and slightly cocked, which was very cute.
Hart stared at the sisters running around, as if eager to join them. He looked at Shirley and the others for a while, and then looked down at Deella and Raella, who were resting on his shoulder, motionless, with a look of embarrassment.
Leah looked at the children in a trance, and by the time she came to her senses, she had already walked near them. Shirley discovers Leah, who remembers the woman but doesn't know who she is. Shirley was called to the restaurant by Kiki to be held by her dad last night, and at first her attention was always on her dad, but it didn't take long for her to notice Leah, who seemed to blend in with the vibe, but was actually unusually lonely.
This person is so pitiful...... Who is she?
Shirley was very curious about Leah's identity, she asked Kiki and Xiaoxiao, but neither of them answered her questions.
Well...... Then I'll say hello myself!
Shirley grinned and ran towards Leah.
