Chapter Fifty-Eight: What Licoult Loves
(Happy Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone)
Angus carefully closed the door of the 'Little Kelp Shop', and at the moment of closing, he secretly glanced outside the door, and was relieved to make sure that there was no one, and just the night before, the nephew of the fishing team, Labeau, sent a letter to himself, warning himself not to tell him about the day when they brought outsiders close to the tribe, and said that it took him a lot of money to shut the mouths of the few fishermen who saw them that day.
The disease of the demon kelp suddenly appeared inexplicably, and the upper echelons of the tribe, especially the magicians, have already pointed to whether someone deliberately poisoned the demon kelp, among which the people of the small part of the seaweed are the most likely, after all, their magic potion once had the same disease, and it was cured, and the two sides had hatred, conditions, and motives, and the possibility was the greatest
But the small part of the seaweed is now independent, and it is not so easy to get hold of him, there is no evidence, can a word in the middle of the kelp make him confess? This kind of right is only available to most of the sea whales!
If it was really the young chief Connors who did it, but how did he do this?The upper echelons of the tribe suspected that someone from the Seaweed Division had entered or approached the Tribe's fertile soil, so during the month, everything in the Devil's Kelp Fertile Soil was thoroughly investigated, and anyone who came close would be interrogated, and the interrogator was His Highness Richot, who said that he liked this work andβ
No one can tell a lie in front of him!
Now Angus didn't have the heart to trouble Cleveland, almost as soon as he got the news, he thought of Jer, who was by Cleveland's side that day, not that he was smart, but that any intelligent life would think almost instinctively about the worst-case scenario, if it was his own reason, it could only be Cleveland and that Jer , During this time, Angus only took these two people to the fertile land of the magic kelp, Cleveland needless to say, he spent a lot of effort to smuggle sea rice, as a key person, he knew almost everything about Cleveland before, his sister's illness was true, and it started as early as four years ago, this is impossible to fake, compared to that Jer, who is much stranger, and he offered to go to the magic kelp to see, it is too suspicious!
But Angus didn't dare to say, whether it was smuggling sea rice or destroying potions, no one else could know, he didn't know how many gold scales the seaweed part spent this time, but he heard that it cost four hundred gold scales just to buy the recipe for the healing medicine, and the loss of the potion was astronomical.
If he is found, he will have to go to Xingtai! Although he can shout in front of some small tribes, he knows that he is not a high-level fart in the middle of the kelp.
"Angus, is something wrong, how do I feel like you've been a little weird lately?"
The eldest wife Quila slowly swam down from the second floor with a big belly, as the hostess of the 'small kelp shop', her life can be said to be very comfortable, she doesn't need to take care of life, as long as she manages the family's money, although her husband has the shortcoming of lust, she raised two women and fish outside, but in addition to this, she did fulfill the responsibility of a husband, she had a child and specially bought a servant to take care of her.
"If something goes wrong, you better leave it alone, take a good rest, the tribe has not been very stable recently. β
Quilla nodded, and touched her bulging belly with her hand, it was his third child.
"Bang, bang, bang"
After three brief knocks on the door, a deep voice came from outside:
"Angus, someone reported that you once took these two foreign merfolk to the fertile soil during the rally, follow me to Your Highness!"
Angus was shocked, the blood on his face was like a fading ocean current, and he turned white in an instant, but the shrewdness of the businessman made him react immediately, grabbed his wife's arm tightly, and said quickly.
"Listen to me, I may be in trouble, if you don't come back in half a day, you know where the golden scales are hidden at home, you take half of them and give them to the caretaker of the fishing team, and then the other half to Joyce, he will take you and the child out of the tribe safely, and then go to your mother's house, your brother is in business with me, and I have saved a sum of money with him, which is enough for you to spend a long time. β
"Angus, you ......"
"Don't talk too much, remember what I said, and don't let Daisy and Philo know that money is not enough for three mermaids, you must know that I only love ......"
Before the word 'you' was spoken, the door of the store was directly broken open, and a small team of mermaids swam in directly and took Angus down, and directly pulled Angus out in Quela's horrified eyes, and two mermaids stayed and swaggered on the seats of the store, looking at the big-bellied Quera, her eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a hint of danger, but I don't know whether Angus is guilty or not, and I dare not do anything.
Quilla swam up to the second floor in fear, slammed the door shut, covered her mouth, and then quickly opened the cabinet and pulled out a small bag of gold scales at the bottom of the drawer.
She naturally knew how many gold scales there was, and after taking the bag of gold scales, Quilla fell silent, and then put the money bag back after half a ring, she still decided to wait for a long time.
......
Angus was pressed into a cautious opening
"Big brothers, I don't know who reported me?"
"Hehe, don't you know about yourself?"
The Khatam fisherman asked rhetorically.
"This ......"
"His Royal Highness Licot personally commanded it, think about it yourself. β
Angus was stunned in his heart, and trembled involuntarily, the prestige of His Royal Highness Richaut has completely reached the level of a child's crying, and there is no one in the middle of the kelp who is not afraid of him, and he, Angus is naturally no exception.
With trepidation and uneasiness, Angus was taken to the legal department in the middle of the kelp, and His Royal Highness Richaut sat on the chair in the middle casually, with his hand on his chin, ignoring the mermaids who came in, and there was no sound in the whole hall, knowing that it took five or six minutes for Richaut to speak:
"Are you Angus, the owner of the famous 'Little Kelp Shop'?"
"Yes, Your Highness, but in front of Your Highness, how dare I call myself a famous shopkeeper, just a small businessman, Your Highness is the pride of our kelp middle, and we and other villains are proud of Your Highness. β
Angus replied cautiously, lowering his head to his neck.
The hall fell silent again
"Smack, smack"
Lycott only glanced at the mermaid who had no interest in it, greedy, timid, flattering, he couldn't see any beauty, it was really boring.
With Licourt's clapping, three Hatamu people were escorted in, all of them were Angus's acquaintances, the nephew of the fishing team, Rabo, the business rival Cyril, and the boy who delivered the letter that day, Angus remembered that his name was Morey, and at this time the mouth of the trio was sewn up by the thread, dense, and the blood did not dry up, and it was extremely terrifying.
Angus was first taken aback by the tragic situation of the three of them, but then he panicked, obviously His Royal Highness Licaut had everything in his hands, and he should be the last to be brought over!
"Tell me what happened, it's a little different from what the three of them said, I'll cut off one of your fingers, and if my fingers aren't enough, I'll cut off your facial features, rip off your scales, there's always a place"
After saying that, Licourt didn't know where to find a small piece of scarlet flesh and sniffed it lightly under his nose, and then his face was full of intoxication, and Angus saw that a piece was missing from the tip of his nephew Labeau's left ear!
"Your Highness, spare ......"
In such a scene, Angus didn't dare to tell a lie at all, and immediately Balabala thought about the matter a little bit, not to think about what to say, but to consider how to describe it to be closer to the truth, Licourt's interrogation did not need to be detained at all, and he was the most terrible torture instrument for the mermaids who knew him!
Angus tried to describe, but he didn't notice that Lycourt had already set his eyes on him, his eyes glowing slightly, as if he were staring at some prey.
Rickaut likes beautiful things, everyone knows that, but the beauty in his heart is more than superficial, for example, he whipped Little Scaler in the seaweed section because he saw the innocence of Little Scaler when he was afraid of playing water polo, he tortured the maid in the castle because he saw the pity of the maid when he begged for mercy, he loved Connors so much because he saw the countless qualities in Connors that made him want to stop, the courage to look directly at himself, the uprightness, kindness, and reason of not being for power...... It's just too much.
I thought that this businessman did not have anything outstanding about it, but looking at his methodical statement of facts, Licourt saw in him quickness and steadiness.
It's a beautiful spot!So he's interested!
