Chapter 208: Obstacles to be uprooted
Everyone present was taken aback, but Mande, who was still unfazed, just swept his eyes over the people who had just said something that had fallen into the well, and frowned full of warning.
"Your Excellency Tar, don't be so angry~"
Duller, who was sitting across from him, raised a smile and spoke first to try to ease the embarrassment at the moment.
"I wonder if there is conclusive evidence that everyone here is talking so enthusiastically about the attack on my Taal family and the so-called hiding of the demon envoy, or is it a joke that has been premeditated with the attackers and is waiting for the Tar family?"
Talos had a cold gaze, not only did he not shy away from the demon envoy once, but he also looked like he wanted to sift out a so-called culprit from the people present.
"Now that the rumors in the city are boiling in this night, we naturally don't want to know it, and it's difficult."
"Yes, if there really isn't a demon hiding in your mansion, why is your mansion being attacked instead of us?"
The two Excellencies, who were already too hegemonic to the Taal clan and were already dissatisfied, spoke one after another.
sang and harmonized, the two did not hide the ridicule in their eyes, and gloating.
At first, they didn't expect things to develop to this extent, and they didn't expect that this Lord Tar would really be so bold as to dare to hide a magic envoy under the nose of the Senate.
Now although they have enjoyed what they say, they regret in their hearts why they were so cautious and didn't go to make a scene with Lord Barker.
"Then I'm going to ask, who told you that I was hiding the envoy?"
At this time, the rising morning light was already faintly illuminating the sky.
Bright white light with a hint of orange shines through the room's crisp and bright floor-to-ceiling windows. Lit up Talos's slightly narrowed eyes, and a faint hint of fierceness flashed through them.
"I ......"
The two of them wanted to continue to fall into the well, but after meeting Talos's gaze, they were instantly dumbfounded.
"The word of mouth in this city is inevitably misunderstood. What's more, there is such a file again, and your house was attacked, so it is understandable for your Excellency to ask one more question~"
Seeing that the atmosphere was condensed again, Dürer hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round game.
But in his heart, he pinched a cold sweat for the two lords who had just forced Talos to speak.
In recent years, the quality of the members of the Senate has really deteriorated, and there are always a few people who don't know how to judge the situation and come to the meeting as if they don't even have brains.
Someday, it will be necessary to clean up the core members of the Senate.
Dürer thought so, but on the surface he was trying to resolve the current stalemate. But the direction of these words not only did not remove Talos from the list of suspects, but pushed him deeper and deeper.
Sure enough, after Dürer said this, the person who was still a little frightened by Talos's aura and eyes spoke again.
"Please also explain to us the attack on your home, Your Excellency. Even if the envoy aside, you are the one who Lord Mande personally chose to take over the Senate, how can you be easily put into danger......
As he spoke, the figure unintentionally lowered his gaze to Mande, who was sitting on the throne.
He deliberately mentioned that Talos would take over the Senate, just to take advantage of this opportunity to infinitely magnify the fact that it was only possible that it was just groundless.
In this way, whether or not there is a definite conclusion on the matter, as long as he Talos does not give a convincing reason for everyone, Lord Mander will be suspicious.
Even because of this suspicion, suspicion. And reconsider whether the Tar clan has the ability and credibility to take over the Senate.
However, Mande, who had heard this, did not raise his eyelids.
It's just that his eyes still fell on Talos, and he said calmly, "Isn't Lord Tal going to say something?" It happened suddenly, and I wanted to know what was going on. ”
Mande's ten fingers crossed over his lips compared to the other, almost radical questioning. His words are more inclined to a kind of waiting, waiting for an answer.
"I don't have anything to say, after all, the so-called magic envoy in your mouth was indeed let go last night."
Faced with questioning and waiting for this response, Talos replied with a succinct and appalling voice, neither explaining it for himself nor hiding it.
But such a simple sentence brought shock, but it was tantamount to throwing a boulder into the sea, setting off an uproar!
"Your Excellency Tar, are you directly admitting?"
"How do you plan to explain your actions by secretly colluding with the Secret Demon Envoy?"
"I didn't expect this 'inside' of internal and external troubles to appear inside my Senate. It's really ......."
The so-called, one stone stirs up a thousand waves.
For a while, except for those who were originally friendly with the Taal clan, everyone else began to analyze and quickly think about how to solve the 'internal worries' that appeared in the Senate.
"Let go?"
However, just when everyone's attention fell on the fact that there was indeed an emissary hiding in the Tar Clan's mansion. Mande, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, and directly grasped the point of his words.
"That's right, last night Lord Buck sent a guard to my private mansion and released the messenger I was detaining in the dark prison in the name of security investigation." Talos spoke slowly, but firmly.
"Your Excellency Buck has always been in charge of the investigation and interrogation of the Demon Envoy, how can you send someone to find trouble with your Excellency Tar for no reason." A man sitting not far away had a look of disdain on his face.
"Buck is in a hurry for quick success, I don't need to say much about what he does, and your Excellency should also know what he is doing."
"Your Excellency Tarr is really good at throwing the pot, a sentence Buck let go of the magic messenger, just like we are fools who go out without brains?!"
The man who had been targeting Talos suddenly let out a loud cry and slammed himself up from his seat!
"Looks like you don't believe it anymore?"
"Private, release...... The matter happened in your Tár's house, how you want to say it, how to do it, isn't it all a word from your Excellency Tár, a small act can be solved! ”
Compared with the previous aggressiveness, this person's words were still full of aggression at this time.
Obviously, in today's meeting, he is bound to bite Talos to death here, no matter what.
After all, his face has been torn, and if he really clears Talos of his guilt, then I am afraid that his future life will not be described by the word 'sad' alone.
"Are you deaf?" Talos lowered his voice coldly, and suddenly said this without a head.
The man on the other side was stunned, "What? ”
"I said, Are you deaf? When did I say that I hid the oracle without permission? Well? ”
Talos's voice remained cold, and his eyes were like a snake with fangs, stabbing his fangs into the body of the person on the other side.
"You ......"
Suddenly, the man felt that the huge conference room seemed to be full of Butalos's spiritual power.
This powerful, rich spiritual power almost pressed him and he couldn't breathe.
Seeing this scene, Dürer on the side quickly swept his eyes over Mande.
At this moment, he almost immediately understood that Talos, who was sitting in front of him, who seemed to be the target of everyone, had been premeditated at all, and now he was acting like this, just to take the opportunity to make the forces that opposed his family rise one after another, and then eradicate it in one fell swoop.
The reason why he is so confident is entirely because of ......
When he thought of this, he saw Mande, who was sitting on the main seat, slowly lowered his hand at this time, and exhaled a long breath, "Your Excellency Tal has already told me that you will temporarily detain the captured demon envoy in his mansion. ”
As soon as the words came out, the person who was still shouting a second ago fell to the chair with a 'plop' as if someone had taken away the strength of his whole body at this moment.
“…… So, you're the one who knows about it, Lord Mande? ”
"That's right." Mander nodded.
It's just two simple words, and it seems light, but it is equivalent to clearing all the suspicions and culpabilities on Talos at this moment.
At this time, the conference room is silent.
……
Things go back to the day before.
Talos personally went to the Senate to talk to Mande, saying that the envoy captured on the cruise ship that day had been locked up in his mansion because he didn't want to be left to Buck's disposal.
Now that the trial has been fruitless, rumors have been circulating in the city recently.
Talos wanted to use these rumors to lure out the other demons lurking in the city and capture them in one fell swoop.
After all, it is impossible for the intelligence network and hidden personnel of the so-called magic envoy to be cleaned up in just one capture operation.
In the face of Talos' proposal, Mande was initially opposed. After all, he had secretly hidden the demon envoy in the first place, and now he suddenly came forward to admit all this, which will inevitably make people suspicious.
It's just that one of the words that Talos said was right in Mande's arms.
That's Barker's ability to do things, which is really hard to accept.
What happened on the cruise ship, Mande was not completely unaware.
And the envoy disguised as Miss Pu was able to get the location of the envoy from Buck's mouth so easily, and caused such a serious large-scale destruction.
At the end of the day, it was all Buck's personal mistake.
The Mande clan sat in the seat of the head of the Senate after all. He has always been very clear about the direction of the situation, and the abilities and personalities in the hands of the major families.
After thinking about it, he agreed to Talos to temporarily detain the captured demon envoy.
It's just that if they don't get useful information from the messenger, or if they don't use it as bait to capture the rest of the people lurking in the city, as they said before. Then Talos will hand over the obtained envoy to the Senate to deal with.
But I never expected that this matter, which only Mande and Talos knew, was actually carried by Buck.
Not only did they destroy the Taal family's mansion and destroy their plans, but they also let the people go.
Thinking of this, Mande only felt that the green tendons on his forehead were beating faintly.
"So, you mean, the fact that His Excellency Tarr is secretly hiding the envoy is simply a plan that has been arranged for a long time?" Dürer held his chin, looking like a curious baby waiting to hear the rest of the story.
"Tower, Lord Tarr......"
At this time, before Mande could respond, the person who had choked before was already sweating profusely, stammering at Talos, as if he wanted to get some relationship back.
But just when he was embarrassed and didn't say anything, the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside!
