Edith replied, "The family is all supported by his wife's income, and she works as a waitress in a tavern run by the Silverblood Family, and she is well paid. Silverblood worked there, while his older brother Songwa stayed in the lord's palace. However, the hotel is only open to the business partners of the Silverblood Family, and is not open to the public. ”

Bai Yan secretly thought that this guy used to eat soft rice, but the soft rice that others ate based on their ability, Bai Yan was not qualified to say more: "Okay, you wait for my news." After saying that, he turned around and left, thought for a while and turned back: "I have another question, how is the mine run by your father now?" ”

Edith replied, "After my father died, he was sold to the Silverblood family, what happened?" ”

"Well, it's nothing ......"

Bai Yan needs to put Marcus City under his management and ask craftsmen to help repair the spaceship, but most of the lords will not agree, so he has to solve it with violence, but before that, he must investigate the dark side of Marcas City, otherwise he will not know if he will be stabbed in the back when the time comes.

After leaving the Talos altar, Bai Yan walked on the wide winding stone path, and suddenly saw an acquaintance in an open-air café, it was Margaret, who had been rescued by herself, she was sitting on a chair, leisurely sipping black tea.

"Oh?" Bai Yan squinted slightly, and began to feel that things were not so simple, so he walked over generously and sat down in the position opposite her.

Margaret raised her head vigilantly, and after finding that it was Bai Yan, she smiled with relief: "It's you, my benefactor, I'm so glad to see you again." ”

"Me too, have you been sightseeing in Marcus City?" Bai Yan smiled.

Margaret nodded: "Yes, I want to buy some silver by the way to go back to Syrodiel." ”

Bai Yan's voice changed, and he no longer played 'Tai Chi' with Margaret, and asked bluntly, "Who are you?" ”

Margaret was stunned for a moment, and said weakly: "Didn't I already tell you......"

Bai Yan interrupted her: "You are by no means an ordinary tourist. ”

"Ho... Why? Margaret tensed.

"Actually, on the day you were almost stabbed, I already felt that you were not simple, an ordinary woman, after experiencing such a thing, even after splashing blood and seeing the headless corpse, she was still very calm, you should have fainted, at least you should have screamed twice."

Hearing Bai Yan's analysis, Margaret sent black tea to her mouth in order to hide her panic, trying to suppress the shock, but her trembling hands betrayed her.

Bai Yan continued: "The strangest thing is that although you escaped an inexplicable murder, you still stay here, which is not the courage that ordinary tourists should have. So I don't think you're coming to Makas City for tourism, and you're not here to buy silver. ”

Bai Yan's inference is reasonable and convincing, at this moment he is simply possessed by Sherlock Holmes, in the face of such sufficient evidence, Margaret sighed and gave up continuing to conceal it: "Why do you want to ask about my identity?" ”

"Huh." Bai Yan replied softly, "I'm investigating a matter, but I don't have a clue, and the incident you encountered may be a breakthrough. ”

"Well, I think you can be trusted, and besides, you saved my life." Margaret put down the black tea and said in a low voice, "I am an intelligence officer sent by General Tulius. I'm here to investigate the Silverblood Family's private involvement with the Northern Army, but they're so well guarded that I can't even find out the slightest bit of information. ”

"Who is General Tulius?"

"You don't even know him?" Margaret was surprised: "He is the commander-in-chief of the Southern army. ”

"Oh, I see, Marcus is rich in mineral resources, if the Northern Army completely colludes with Marcas, it will be a big blow to the Southern Empire."

"Exactly." Margaret admitted frankly, a little admired Bai Yan for having such strategic vision and being able to think so deeply: "A talent like you should join the Southern Empire, I have seen your skills, General Tulius will definitely not treat you badly, you think about it, the Southern Empire is more developed in materials and economy than the north, you can become a rich minister, with countless servants and concubines." ”

Bai Yan smiled, and then said solemnly: "You have said enough, but I suggest that you leave Marcas City immediately and do not come back, it is obvious that you have revealed your identity, although I still don't understand what connection the oath abandoner has to do with this matter......

Seeing that Bai Yan didn't have the heart to defect to the Southern Empire, Margaret didn't force it: "Do you think so too?" Then I'll leave right away, unfortunately I didn't finish the task. She looked at Bai Yan, with concern between her eyebrows, and said softly: "Although I don't know what you're investigating, you must be careful, especially don't provoke the Silver Blood Family, there is no justice at all in Marcas City." ”

"What is justice? Power is justice. Bai Yan was not afraid at all.

****

Not long after saying goodbye to Margaret and walking out of the coffee shop, Bai Yan was stopped by a Marcus guard, who said viciously, "You nosy! ”

"What's wrong with me?" Bai Yan asked curiously, "Did I break the law of Marcus?" ”

The guard sneered: "This is the second time we have reminded you, leave the affairs of Marcus City alone, it is good for everyone, but you turn a deaf ear, thinking that we have no way to take you?" ”

Bai Yan stared at him and suddenly smiled: "What do you want?" ”

"This is the last warning to you, get out of Marcas City immediately, or you will regret it for the rest of your life." The guard threatened.

Bai Yan is a typical eater of soft and not hard, the other party is hard, Bai Yan's attitude is tougher, at the moment when the guards threaten him, in a moment of anger, he even has the idea of slaughtering the city, he said without showing weakness: "Then you can come!" ”

The guard sneered, "Then, let's wait and see." ”

With this sentence in mind, the guard turned and walked away.

Bai Yan was worried, he had just started his investigation, and he immediately received a warning, it seemed that the muddy waters of Marcas City were really unfathomable, and it was conceivable that even in the café, there were people watching Margaret, so he was targeted.

Bai Yan quickly came to the shack area, where the lowest people of Marcus City lived, it was dark and dark, and there was no sunlight all day long, and the simple shacks were haphazardly propped up on both sides of the road, and the smell of dust and rancid smell was filled with it.

The surrounding slave miners all looked at Bai Yan with envy and wariness, they were wearing shabby and dirty linen clothes, hungry and emaciated.

"Even if it's an ancient tomb, it's more habitable than here."

Bai Yan thought in his heart, and asked the people who lived inside about Wei Lin's residence: "Hey, do you know where Wei Lin lives?" ”
