After the meal, the servants began to clean up the table, Yu Youzi looked at the wall clock in the hall, the time was just twenty-three o'clock, if it was on earth, it was eleven o'clock in the evening, it was time to rest and sleep, but in this Babel world, which was divided into thirty-six grids in the day, twenty-three o'clock was the moment when the nightlife had just begun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The well-fed dignitaries gathered in twos and threes, some sat on the lounge chairs next to the columns, some stayed at the dining table, and some simply ran into the atrium to discuss the priorities of the day in the garden.

The maids pushed the dining cart in and began to serve tea and snacks after the meal, there are all kinds of tea and ordinary brewed tea, the snacks are small soft cakes and biscuits of various flavors, which are very exquisite, with beautiful fruit colors, this kind of small sweets look exciting, Yu Youzi can't help but take a dish and taste it, it can't be said to be good or bad, because there is no comparison, the taste is still very good.

Although people gather in three or five to chat, the banquet hall is now divided into two groups - the incumbent officials are one group, and the other high-ranking people invited and their families are one group, and the two are not distinct, but there will be no small circle of family members chatting in the circle of officials.

Deng Hele saw that Yu Youzi was observing the surroundings from time to time, so he said at the end of the topic: "Lord Yu Youzi, you don't have to accompany us here, you should have something to discuss with other adults." ”

Yu Youzi didn't say anything, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Gabtis: "You go get down to business." ”

Kumalo: "Ask about the Armored Warriors, and tell me good news." As he spoke, he raised his glass in salute.

"Then I'll take my leave. Yu Youzi bowed to the four people at the same table, and after greeting him to say goodbye, he got up and walked towards the circle of officials. There are also quite a few celebrities walking around, joining a circle from time to time to start talking.

When everyone was sitting and eating before, Yu Youzi had already counted eight tables and there were twenty-seven guests present. Then he raised his eyes and looked at it, and found Mezewin in the rest place under a pillar, and walked over - he needed someone to introduce him.

"Oh! Mei Zewen was the first to speak when he saw Yu Youzi coming over.

Yu Youzi: "Lord Mei Zewen, today's dinner is really good, comparable to what I enjoyed at my lord's house that day. ”

"It's over...... Let me introduce you to it. Mei Zewen got up, invited Yu Youzi to join their chat circle, and introduced the other two people sitting there to Yu Youzi, who were-

Minister of Mines, Brion, Minister of Industry, Marson. They are all sectors that have a relationship with the economy.

Brion, whose collar was erected high and tied with a thin ribbon, spoke: "Lord Yu Youzi's name has been admired for a long time, come and have a drink at the Autumn Chaos Bar." "Wave to the maid with a drink.

Yu Youzi took the wine glass, sat down with Mei Zewen, smiled and said in an exaggerated tone: "Is it rumored that I look like a monster, such as six pairs of eyes and eight legs?"

Everyone laughed, Yu Youzi used communication skills, used a witty and humorous style of speech, reduced the sense of strangeness, and integrated into this small circle.

The Minister of Industry, Marson, who was middle-aged but had thick brown hair, no worse than Yu Youzi's dark and rich hair, leaned over and said, "Speaking of monsters, we just happened to be talking about this, Lord Yu Youzi participated in the Sealing Beast Annihilation War, can you tell us what happened at that time?"

To be honest, I didn't have too much frontal close contact with the Seal Beast while driving the Armored Warrior, and it was only two close encounters that made the Armored Warrior scrapped, which was quite boring to say, but when I sniped in the distance, I saw a lot of fierce battle scenes of the Silver Knights. Now that I think about it, they are a very powerful group of characters, and it is quite an achievement to be able to fight that out-of-spec behemoth and defeat it in the end:

"I didn't do anything commendable, at that time it was Tequir the deputy head of the Silver Knights who commanded the whole battle, and he came up with a way to defeat the Seal Beast, which was to cut off the limbs of the Seal Beast......"

Yu Youzi and the three ministers chatted while drinking wine, and before they knew it, three quarters had passed, and Yu Youzi had also become acquainted with Marson and Brion.

The topic of the Sealing Beast came to an end, and Brion took a sip of wine and said, "The airport exploded this morning...... " He turned the topic back to the topic before Yu Youzi arrived.

Marson: "Could it be smuggled explosives?"

Mezewin: "I think it may have been caused by the explosion of the airship's mechanism." ”

Brion: "It's supposed to be spontaneous combustion, which is too easy to happen in the sunny season." ”

Yu Youzi thought in his heart: It had been speculated that it was Si Hei Zheng who did it, but they all remained silent, and further speculation that there was a traitor may only be guessed by Wen Simo alone. The people below are still speculating about what happened and how it happened. But there may also be people who pretend to be confused, and the banner with such a large curtain on the airport tower must have spread. But some things are still stuffy in my heart, don't be in the limelight and pretend to be smart, the three sins of the queen written on the curtain are not things that can be talked about.

Yu Youzi is actually a person who understands but has to pretend to be confused, because he still needs to go to the level of the minister above, and it is not a good thing to expose that he knows too much here.

The three officials continued to express their opinions and discuss the cause of the explosion at the airport, and Yu Youzi listened and observed, humming from time to time to express his approval, indicating that he was listening.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yu Youzi interjected: "There are all kinds of possibilities for the airport explosion, and we can't say for sure now...... Who will be responsible for the aftermath?"

This is the simplest motive reasoning, if the mole is not a member of the Black Robbery Society, then his motive is not from the idea of the Black Robbery Society, but from profit...... Who can benefit the most from this explosion? Yu Youzi is unfamiliar with the Karelian bureaucratic system and does not know whose area of responsibility the airport is.

Mei Zewen also felt that it was time to change the topic, and they couldn't discuss the cause of the explosion: "The aftermath should be led by the Minister of the Interior...... If it is finally found that it is smuggling dangerous goods or spontaneous combustion, the people of the Ministry of Communications will be in big trouble. ”

Brion raised his glass and sent it in one direction: "You see, that Tubings guy has been frowning all the time. ”

Yu Youzi turned his head to look in that direction, and sure enough, in a circle of five or six people, there was a man with a bitter face who kept pouring tea on himself, thinking that this person should be the Minister of Communications.

Mei Zewen did not gloat, but also had a tendency to make a bitter face: "Don't say that in the future, my commercial department will be in trouble now...... The goods transported by the airport are all luxury goods, and the trade volume must be reduced this time, and the airport will take at least a quarter to repair. ”

Marson: "I've been watching it for a year...... My Ministry of Industry can get a lot of work to do. ”

Brion: "I don't have anything to do with it. ”

When the topic ended, the casual circle fell silent, except for a few people sipping from time to time.

Yu Youzi pondered, as far as it seems that the Minister of the Interior has been hit the most, and he has to study and study who will benefit the most if the current Minister of the Interior loses power, then this person is the most suspected of promoting the attack on the airport by the Black Raiders, and it is most likely to be a traitor.

And there is no more valuable content in the conversation here, it is time to talk to other people in another place, Yu Youzi then opened his mouth to break the silence and said: "I just talked about the damage of the armored warrior I piloted......

Brion: "I've seen armored warriors, the kind of iron giants that seem to be almost invincible can't withstand the sealing beasts. ”

Mezewin: "So I think it's better to sacrifice the Seal Beast...... Ah, I don't mean anything else, just from an economic point of view. The last sentence of the Minister of Commerce was addressed to Yu Youzi.

Yu Youzi waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter: "That armored warrior is just a trial model, I think it should be more practical to officially mass produce." ”

"Scarlet Orchid Chamber of Commerce, speaking of which, they have been silent for more than ten years, and now they are so generous as soon as they come out, they deserve to be the leading chamber of commerce of the year......" Marson sighed, as the Minister of Industry, he has a lot of treasures for domestic factories and enterprises.

Yu Youzi: "Lord Marzon knows so much about the Scarlet Vine Orchid Chamber of Commerce, I wonder if there is any news of their production? ”

Marson: "I don't know about this, I have to ask the owner here, Bao ...... from the Equipment Department. I saw him go to the atrium just now. ”

The banquet was held at the home of Bao, the head of the Ministry of Military Affairs' armament department, whose family has been an official for generations and has a profound background.

Not in the banquet hall, but in the atrium, which was full of plant pavilions, it was obvious that Bao was there to talk to someone very private. It's better not to just go over and bother.

Yu Youzi: "Master Bao is very busy, I'd better not bother him first...... I wonder if there are other ministers from the Ministry of Military Affairs here?"

Mei Zewen said with a smile: "The front-line army really has to have a good relationship with the Ministry of Military Affairs, look at the table over there, the Minister of Logistics and the Minister of Intelligence are chatting over there...... The one on the left is the Minister of Administration. Because of his friendship with his daughter in Muli Mucheng, Mei Zewen put down his wine glass, "Come, I'll take you over to get acquainted with them." ”

Yu Youzi turned his head and looked at the three people sitting together on the edge of the banquet hall: "The Ministry of Government should be a department under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right?"

Mezewin: "Yes. ”

"Then it's troublesome. ”

The two of them got up and were about to walk over there, when a scream pierced the night sky, and the door of the banquet hall was pushed open with a bang, and the two figures flashed one after the other and rushed to the atrium, and the others also looked at the place where the scream came from, and there was only a floor-to-ceiling window between the scream and Yu Youzi's position. Looking out through the glass, the starlit dwarf groves appear extremely deep and secluded, and several pavilions seem to be far and near, making people feel peaceful...... The screams had fallen silent.

Yu Youzi glanced at the people present, followed the crowd through the glass door, and rushed to the atrium.

The atrium is about the size of a basketball court, and a green corridor made of climbing plants separates the pavilions at the two corners, and the low trees that have been built form a cross passage to connect the Dulo building, and in the corners where there are no pavilions, tall fruit trees are planted. The first to be driven out was gathered under a field of three fruit trees.

Yu Youzi saw from a distance that a maid was sitting on the ground, the tray and the wine on it fell to one side, it seemed that it was her who screamed, a trace of fishy smell in the air made the black-haired young man frown, took two steps closer, turned to the other side of a tree, and came to the angle where the maid was looking, and sure enough, a corpse fell to the ground, soaked in blood. The reason why Yu Youzi could tell at a glance that this was a corpse was because the person's neck had been completely severed, and it had been a while since the blood was no longer gushing out.

No one spoke at the scene, and the people who came later all gasped when they saw the corpse, and then they didn't speak, and there was a strange silence at the scene, and everyone was so shocked that they didn't know what to do.

"Bao?!Bao!" The people rushed over one after another, and one of them rushed to the corpse in three or two steps, picked up the corpse regardless of the blood, and shouted the person's name loudly, but of course, no matter how loud he screamed, he could not get any response, and with his shaking movements, Bao's head, which was only a layer of stamina skin attached to the body, fell backwards.

More and more people rushed over, and many ladies screamed and even fainted with their foreheads as soon as they came, and then one of them stood up and shouted, "Don't come here, everyone!

A well-wisher stepped forward to help up the maid who had been paralyzed on the ground, she seemed to be a maid who came to the atrium to tour and deliver drinks, and after seeing the tragic death of her master, her body fell to the ground softly, and she didn't even have the strength to close her eyes and twist her head, and her eyes stared straight ahead...... It wasn't until someone touched her and pulled her up, that the maid, who had lost her reaction to the surrounding environment, came back to her senses a little, turned her eyes over, looked around blankly, and then suddenly screamed again, pointing a finger at Yu Youzi and screaming: "It's him! It's him! Don't come, don't come, don't come!!"

The frightened and high-pitched sound gave the screams that pierced the eardrums of the people around them, and resounded in the night sky.
