Chapter 944: Escape
"Don't get excited, marshal, let him finish. Fidel glared at the butler fiercely, feeling a little uneasy, "How many years have you been in the earl's house?" "It's been twenty years, I think the earl is good to you, right?" A few cold lights flashed in the slender eyes of the right minister, and he asked in a cold voice.
"The host treated me very well. The butler's body trembled, as if his conscience had found it, "Since your master is not sorry for you, why do you want to do this to him?" asked the right minister. "I don't want to, I'm forced. The butler shook his head and said bitterly.
"Who forced you?" the right minister continued. "I can't say, I said that my family would die. The butler shook his head, refusing to say anything. "According to the laws of the empire, those who deliberately murder nobles will be punished by the nine clans. Killing intent already appeared in the eyes of the right minister, "If you resist this crime, not only your family, but also everyone who has a relationship with you will be severely punished by the empire." ”
"I..." The butler began to hesitate, his eyes looked at the table from time to time, and now he looked at who was naturally the most suspicious, and many nobles looked at Fidel suspiciously, could it be that he really killed Libeiqi.
"Say~!" the right minister slapped the table, and the butler shook his head and pointed to the place where the spectator was doing, and everyone followed his fingers to look, and the most conspicuous thing there was Fidel.
"Dog minion, have you figured it out?" said Fidel, with an angry expression. "It was Master Ike who poisoned me. The hall was suddenly in chaos, and everyone didn't expect that it was the eldest son of Li Beiqi who was pulled out.
Ike's face changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Dog minion, you dare to frame me. "Butler, you have to think about it or not, he is the earl's own son. The right minister had long expected this scene and asked a little proudly.
"It's because it's my own son that Young Master Ike poisoned me. The butler said weakly. "Only when the earl dies can the prince of Ike inherit the title of earl, and it was he who forced me to poison the lord with the herb. The butler said with tears in his eyes, and he looked pitiful.
"According to the inheritance law, if the Earl of Ribge dies, then the heir in line is none other than Prince Ike, Prince Ike, do you say I'm right?" asked the right minister with slanted eyes. Ike clenched his fists and stared at the butler with red eyes, who didn't dare to look at him when he was dodging.
"In that case, things are clear, aren't they?" said the right minister, straightening up. "Lord Right Minister, is it too hasty to conclude the identity of the murderer of Prince Ike based on the words of one person alone, and besides, I have not seen any strong evidence from beginning to end. Andolly spoke slowly, and many nobles nodded their heads.
"Well, bring me the next piece of evidence. The right minister said unhurriedly, and two guards walked in from outside the door, and a plate was placed on the podium. On the plate was a parchment scroll with numbers densely intertwined.
"I guess everyone is familiar with this thing. The right minister picked up the scroll, "Isn't this the transaction record of the gold card?" a nobleman interjected. The High Elves also issue currency through banks, which are a magical storage tool that can be used for currency transactions.
"Ikko transferred a million gold coins to the butler's account yesterday morning, can Ikko explain why?" Ike stood up, furious.
"Ikkozi, the transaction records of the gold card are placed here, in black and white, I can't help you to push it, don't you admit it now?"
"You're framing me, I'm going to kill you!" Ike suddenly became furious, and a fierce man jumped off the platform, his hands wrapped in golden light and smashed into the right phase standing on the podium, if this blow hit, the right phase is expected to go directly to Elysium.
"Ike~!Don't be rude~!" Fidel's figure flashed, and a slap was pressed on Ike's shoulder, and Ike was immediately frozen in place, but his eyes were still staring at the right phase, eager to bite him to death on the spot.
"This is the House of Representatives, no one is allowed to use force without permission, come and bring back Prince Ike. The Speaker sat down at the table on the other side and said in a deep voice, and immediately several attendants came out, one on the left and one on the right, and walked out with Ike on the left and right.
"This is the truth that everyone wants, are there any doubts?" asked the right minister, clapping his hands. "Even if there is a gold card transaction record, it can't directly convict Ike, Ike is the direct heir of the Red Lion family, and he has privileges, and he is not allowed to leave the Earl's Court without permission until the matter is clarified. "The Holy King suddenly came out to play a round, which made Andory and the others very strange.
You know, all of this clear-eyed people understand in their hearts, in fact, it is the Holy King who made the ghost, and now he doesn't ask the guilt directly, he actually released Ike, just under house arrest in the Earl's Palace, Andory and the others don't understand, if Long Yu is here, he will understand, if he doesn't let Ike go, how can Ike escape, if Ike doesn't escape, how can he cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
"My king has mercy. Andoli took the lead in complimenting, and many nobles reluctantly agreed, but the light in the eyes of the right minister flashed, and he stood on the podium again and said, "In the past few days of investigation, we have also discovered another shocking secret, and it is not only the prince of Ike who wants to inherit the title who wants to die in the back of the Earl of Qi. ”
"Right Minister-sama, let's stop this matter, all of you have received a satisfactory answer, I think. The Holy King pretended to persuade, and Andory's face became extremely ugly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Lord Right Minister, who else has bad intentions?"
The right minister cleared his throat, looked at Fidel with his eyes, and said coldly: "This person is our great Marshal Fidel, a good friend of life and death with the earl. "Ridiculous. Fidel laughed angrily.
"Ridiculous or not, the marshal understood when he saw the Count's body. As he spoke, the right minister waved a few times, and several strong men pushed the coffin to the very center, the coffin lid slowly opened, and the nobles sitting on the platform looked down one after another, wanting to see what secrets there were.
"The Earl has been poisoned by the Mudor Grass, but someone is even more vicious, and has sent a master to attack him, everyone, and look at this sword. The right minister lifted off the white cloth covering Libeiqi's body, and Libeiqi's body was exposed, and immediately after, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Lord You, what do you want to explain by bothering the Earl's body so much?" The body of Li Beiqi was frozen stiff and pale, and the bottom of the coffin was covered with ice crystals, so that the corpse would not rot.
The right minister had already thought of the wording, but what he didn't expect was that after he lifted the white cloth, it was not the scene he should see, there should be a sword in his chest, and the sword had the word "fire phoenix" on it, this is the plan that the holy king thought of killing two birds with one stone, it was originally going extremely smoothly, but now it was suddenly interrupted, and he couldn't connect it if he wanted to.
The Holy King looked at the body of Li Beiqi and his face changed slightly, and he was extremely surprised in his heart, this coffin was taken care of by the palace masters day and night, and someone was able to make hands and feet under strict care, who the hell is this, the Holy King couldn't help but set his eyes on Andory, Andolly's face was calm and sad, looking at Li Beiqi lying in the cold coffin, somehow a trace of sadness was crossed.
"My lord, I see no evidence that the death of the Count of Ribage had anything to do with Marshal Fidel, what are you showing us?" asked Andory in a deep voice.
A few drops of cold sweat oozed from the sideburns of the right minister, and he secretly glanced at the holy king, but the holy king replied: "In order to find out the truth, the right minister has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights, I think he is too tired, so he is talking some nonsense." "The right minister works hard for the country, which is admirable, but this bloody thing, it is better to do a few less. Andolly said with a prickly voice.
"Now that the right minister has ascertained the cause of Count Ribage's death, as for how to judge this matter, I ask the House of Elders to consult with the House of Representatives. The Holy King said to the Speaker, the Elder. The two old men glanced at each other and said in a deep voice: "The old minister should do his best. ”
It seemed that the anti-king journey of the people was shattered in this way, and the more Fidel returned to the mansion, the more angry he became, and the more he felt that it should be the high-ranking majesty who really attacked him.
"Tell my lord, Duke Antori has arrived. The attendant outside the door reported, "Please." Fidel stood up, and in a few moments Andolly walked in. "Your Excellency. Fidel saluted, but Andory didn't salute, but said directly: "Send Ike and them away quickly, if it's too late, his life will not be guaranteed." ”
"Let's go now, I'm afraid to leave someone to talk about. Fidel frowned back. "If you don't leave now, the Libeiqi family will become extinct. A hint of anger flashed across Andory's face, "I underestimated our Holy King, and he was not ordinary ruthless. ”
"What I'm saying is that since he made a fuss about the Count's corpse, it's too hateful~!" Fidel said, slamming the table. "Fortunately, I don't know what happened and didn't involve you, but in this way, Your Majesty is about to tear your face openly. Andolly sighed and said in a heavy tone.
"I thought that Li Beiqi would be able to become a Ming Jun when he came back this time, but I didn't expect to give his life in vain, it's all my fault, if I hadn't picked up Li Beiqi at the beginning, he wouldn't have caused such a murderous disaster. Andolly said apologetically.
"The Duke has said, if Your Majesty is a Ming King, how can we have two hearts, Your Majesty has already made a killing move, we can't stupidly stick our necks up, I will arrange for someone to send Ike and them away, as long as they return to the northern country, their lives will at least be guaranteed. Fidel returned.
