Chapter Seventy-Seven: Stratagem

"It's not that there is nothing you can solve in this imperial capital that you just said." Linton yelled.

"I said mostly, I'm not an emperor, and there are things I can't handle." The old man here said.

"Has this matter risen to the point where the emperor can handle it?" Linton asked, mainly to inquire about the specifics of this matter, after all, Garseen was arrested halfway through, and he didn't know what happened later.

"You shouldn't have anything to do with this, right, you raised the phantom beast?" The old man asked.

"Uh...... Of course not. Linton sold the Fire Eater in an instant, "It's just that my nephew was involved in this matter because of this unwarranted disaster, and now I'm trying to figure out how to get him out." ”

"Your nephew?" The old man frowned, "I heard that a suspect has been locked up, could it be that the suspect is your nephew?" ”

"yes." Linton nodded.

"That'...... But it's troublesome. The old man said.

"What's wrong? The damage caused by the monster is particularly large? Linton asked.

"In terms of losses, the most troublesome part is that in the process of capturing the phantom beast yesterday, His Royal Highness the Great Prince was injured by the phantom beast, and the injury was quite serious. So this matter is very troublesome now, you are here to find someone to help, but I don't think it's useful, Your Majesty is furious, no one dares to touch this mold at this time. The old man said.

"The eldest prince is injured?" Linton has a little headache, if there is no accident, this big prince should be the prince, that is indeed a big basket.

"Yes, that kid can't do his best, I heard that someone was chasing a demonic beast, so he had to go up, and he was injured." The old man said.

"And what about the monsters after that? Killed? Linton asked.

"No, I ran away, and now the royal guards are still chasing." The old man said.

Linton had a headache, and it was better to die than to get into trouble, and it would be even more troublesome if he couldn't think of running back to find himself.

After thinking about it, Linton said, "It seems that this matter is really serious, but it really doesn't matter about my nephew." This magical beast can escape under the pursuit of the royal guards, it is definitely a very powerful magical beast, this obviously can't be my nephew's pet, he is a country baron, how can he have this kind of ability. ”

"I understand what you mean, but it's useless for you to tell me about this matter, and I'm not His Majesty the Emperor." The old man spread his hands and said, "But someone must have brought this phantom beast into the city, otherwise this thing would have been discovered and reported by the guards when it came into the city, so this matter is probably planned by someone, of course, I also think that your nephew is unlikely." This is something that only the nobles of the imperial capital can do. Because if you want to bring a monster into the city without being checked, it must be that kind of big noble. ”

Linton said he had a headache, of course he knew how the Fire Eater came in, it wasn't brought in by the third princess. It is estimated that when the third princess entered the city at that time, she also let the fire-swallowing beast avoid it a little, after all, it was more troublesome for the demon beast to enter the city, and the third princess's car, of course, no soldier dared to check it casually, so it was put into the city. I always feel that the misunderstanding is getting bigger and bigger.

"Then if you also think that my nephew is not a murderer, other people should be able to think of it, and His Majesty the Emperor should not be so stupid. So my nephew should be fine? Linton asked.

"Who knows, it's up to us to see if we can find the real murderer, if we can't find it, we still have to find someone to carry this matter after all." The old man said.

Linton probably understood, the eldest prince was injured, and the Warcraft was making trouble in the capital, and you can't talk about it, it is indeed a blow to the royal prestige. For the sake of the royal family's face, even if the prisoner can't be caught in the end, it is estimated that a prisoner will be brought out. So even if everyone doesn't believe that Garsain will be the murderer, but at this time, he will undoubtedly become the best backstabber, if there is really no one to blame, then it is estimated that the crime will really be put on him.

Now this matter is really a bit bad, and Linton really has no good way to solve it. You said that the best way to solve this problem is to find the real culprit, but who is the real culprit? The owner of this fire-swallowing beast is yourself, okay, then how can you tell the emperor that I am the master of the fire-swallowing beast, but I didn't want to set the dog to commit murder, this is just a misunderstanding, and then the emperor said that it was okay, and my son did it himself. Obviously impossible.

"Hmm...... So now the only way is to try by martial arts? Linton said, rubbing his chin.

"Martial arts trial? You've decided to use a joust trial? The old man said with a little surprise.

"What's wrong?" Linton asked.

"This ...... It's not a good idea. "But there doesn't seem to be any other way," said the old man......

"How?" Linton asked.

"You know that the person who was injured this time is the Great Prince, right, so if there is a real martial arts trial, the person who sends the trial knight will be a royal person, and the royal knight ......," the old man said.

"Oh...... It's the strongest kind. Linton nodded.

"How do you look like you don't care at all, is your nephew very strong?" The old man asked.

"My nephew will find an agent, and that's me." Linton said.

"So you're going to take your nephew's place in a jousting trial?" The old man looked at Linton in a little surprise, "You are strong?" ”

"It's not very strong, it's invincible in the world." Linton said with a wave of his hand.

"......" The old man looked at Linton a little speechlessly, although he didn't speak, but his eyes had already told Linton what he meant.

"Hey, what kind of skeptical expression do you have, I'm really invincible, okay?" Linton said.

"Are you sure? The knights sent by the royal family, and according to the practice of martial arts trials, are generally knights with titles, and the knights with titles at the royal level are all monster-level. The old man said, "I just looked at your spells, you should indeed have some strength, but compared to those Tianjiao, it is still far behind." ”

"It's the other way around, they're far from me, okay?" Linton said, "Forget it, I don't have to be afraid of martial arts competitions." ”

"Oh...... That's fine. The old man said, "But before you die, can you teach me the magic from before, or introduce your master to me." ”

"Gan ......" Linton raised his forehead, "Okay, okay, in short, the current situation is just a matter of winning the competition, right?" ”

"It's a pity, according to my point of view, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that you win the competition, this matter is still very troublesome." The old man said.

"Oh? How so? Linton asked.

"Don't you understand? This is a royal martial arts trial, and it is said that it is a trial, but it should actually be called an execution. It is true that if you win, you are indeed innocent in this matter according to the law, but ...... Where is the royal face? Do you think the royal family will give your family a good face in the future? The old man said.

"Hmm......" Linton nodded, it was indeed a problem. The royal martial arts trial, of course, what everyone wants to see is a prisoner who does not admit his guilt, even if you win the knight sent by the royal family, isn't this just a slap in the face of the royal family. The royal face can't go down, and of course you will hold a grudge after that, you little baron, sooner or later you will have a chance to deal with you.

If you think about it this way, this matter is not so simple to solve. Linton himself is not afraid, after all, the flying thunder god is in hand, who can catch him if he really wants to run, but there is no place for the old, weak, sick and disabled people at home to run. Although most of his family is not very good to him, there are still many people he can look up to, such as Garsein, Linton bullies and bullies, but he doesn't want him to have an accident.

"Actually, I suddenly thought of a solution to your family's troubles." The old man here said suddenly.

"Huh? What's the solution? Linton asked.

"You teach me that magic just now, and I'll tell you." The old man said.

"Say something first, I'll see if it works." Linton said.

"Okay." The old man said, "I believe that if you have the confidence to say that you can defeat the royal knights, you should also have some strength, and if this is the case, you can indeed have a martial arts trial." But you can't have a trial with the royal people, you can have someone else come to the trial, and it must be before the royal trial, in this way, before the royal conviction of your nephew, he has already been tried for this crime, if the trial is successful, then he is innocent, and the royal family can't look for your nephew as the person to blame. ”

"Oh?" Linton was stunned, this is a good way, "But can I find someone else?" ”

"Absolutely." The old man said, "You see that many people were injured in yesterday's turmoil, and there were many nobles among them, and they also have the right to propose a trial." If you let them go to your nephew to settle accounts, then your nephew will propose a trial on the spot, and then take the opportunity to settle the matter. If the result of the final trial is not guilty, then since your nephew is not guilty, the other crimes of harm naturally have nothing to do with him, including the matter of hurting the prince. ”

"I see." Linton understood, it seemed that he had spared a circle, but in fact, he avoided the matter of slapping the royal family in the face, I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, this old man seems to be an official or has been an official, and he knows the situation of officialdom well.

"This will do." The old man smiled and said, "In that case, you should also teach me the magic just now, right?" ”

"Yes." Linton nodded, "I can teach you, but I don't know if you can learn it, and my magic is not ordinary magic, it is completely different from the magic you understood before, if you want to learn it, it is estimated that you will have to learn it from scratch, which will take a lot of time." ”

"Unlike ordinary magic, learn it from scratch?" The old man became serious, "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course." Linton nodded.

"Then I'll have to take a look." The old man was obviously a magic nerd, and when he heard this, he became even more excited, "Come on, come home, come home with me, and start learning immediately." ”

"Yes, yes, but I'll ask a question first." Linton said, "Your family...... Was there anyone who was injured by a monster yesterday? ”
