Jie coughed lightly and asked, "Tell me, who is that person you are with?" Where are you now? ”

"Living in an oasis of entertainment." Minter said lightly, "The man in his thirties, who seems to be a foreigner, is called Paro, and is now the guest of honor of Lady Ziya. I heard that some of the girls we rescued were supposed to be sent here, and there should have been several batches before, but I have been here for several days, and I haven't found them, and I suspect they are all in the Elysium House. It was a place for VIPs, and we ordinary guards couldn't get in. ”

"Oh? Lady Ziya? Jay bowed his head and groaned, as if he had thought of something. Minter looked at him carefully a few times before asking, "What about you?" What is the origin of the person you are talking to? ”

Jie woke up when he heard this, and said with a smile: "That's a businessman who is active on the southern border of Nuojia, and he has connections with many lawbreakers, I suspect that they are a fairly large trafficking syndicate, and when the evidence is collected, they must be brought to justice!" ”

Minter blinked, looked at Jay and smiled, but secretly gritted his teeth. This guy didn't tell the truth! Where does the man in gray look like a merchant? What is the idea of the abduction and trafficking syndicate to fight the throne of Noga? What's more, as the eldest son of the Hedda family and the heir to the duke for hundreds of years, Esparo tried his best to escape from Balasig just to abduct and sell aristocratic boys and girls? What did he mean by saying, "I hope you won't forget to promise me when you take Ito Castle"? Trafficking syndicates will attack a country?!

Minter looked at Jay and said, "I suspect there are a lot of people behind them, so I've been keeping an eye on their movements." Those two men met for the second time tonight, the last time they met. I eavesdropped on them, as if they were mentioning King Noga or something, are you sure they're just merchants? ”

Jie's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked, "What did they talk about?!" ”

"It doesn't matter, it's just that they're just whimsical." Minter pretended to look casually in the direction of the Entertainment Oasis, "I've been out for a long time, and I should go back to rest, otherwise the other guards will be suspicious." I'll get back in touch when I'm free. Then he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Jay hurriedly stopped him, and was about to say something. Catching a glimpse of the smile that flashed at the corner of his mouth, he suddenly understood in his heart, sighed, and said, "Okay." I didn't tell the truth just now, and I apologize to you. But we were strangers ten minutes ago, and it's normal for me to hide something from you. Now I'll get straight to the point. The man was indeed a businessman in name, but in fact he was a subordinate of a powerful man in Normonca. The magnate was interested in the throne of Nogar and wanted to be the king of the country. I didn't want him to succeed, so I secretly investigated his incriminating evidence. In this way, I followed the clues to find the person just now. But now that the clue is broken, I would be very grateful if you could tell me the information of the person who contacted him. ”

"I see!" Minter's face suddenly realized, "Then why would they have something to do with the trafficking syndicate?" Also, who are you? Sounds remarkable. ”

Jet paused and said, "Well, although I'm also a nobleman, I'm not really a big person." I am working for His Majesty the King. I don't know why those people are involved in trafficking rings, but I can tell you. They will not be just trafficking syndicates. This matter has risen to the national level, and it is not for your employer to interfere. I can promise you that I will never spare any of them. If your employer agrees, I can also hand over some of them to dispose of them. Tell me everything you know. ”

He said. While staring at Minter closely. There seems to be a great deal of concern about the latter reaction. Minter thought for a moment. He smiled and said, "What our young master cares about the most is that Paro." Just give him to us. Leave the rest to you bigwigs. But tell us what happened. I'll report back to the top. As for what the man was talking to that Paro just now. The exact words are this: ready to go. As long as... Command. It's going to... Gale II died. The throne of Nogardi is our land... Get in the way of Duke Jeda and several other nobles. Just make a little accident... That's it. I didn't actually hear it very clearly. Then they found out that someone was eavesdropping. I had no choice but to flee. ”

Jay blinked: "That's it?" ”

"That's all." Minter nodded.

Jay gritted his teeth secretly. These words seem to be very useful. But no specific information was disclosed. What's the difference between listening to it and not listening to it? This stinky boy! actually used a few words that didn't work well. Deceived yourself?

Never mind. He didn't lose much anyway.

Jeppi smiled and said to Minte, "I see. As long as we catch someone. I'll let you know. If you have any clues. Be sure to tell me. Everyone is exchanging information with each other. ”

Minter smiled and answered, the two were about to break up, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, what did that person mention about Duke Jada and several other nobles who are in the way... Your name is Jay, could you be the young duke? Speaking of which, he had also seen Duke Jeda a few years ago, and he was a little similar to the one in front of him, but unfortunately the other party had a big beard and couldn't see his facial features clearly.

Jie paused, turned around and smiled: "Even if it is the same name, it may not be the same person." "Say goodbye and leave. Minter smiled and went back to the oasis of entertainment on his own.

The next day, he carefully observed Esparo for a few hours, and when he saw that the other party did not show anything strange, he suppressed the doubts in his heart.

According to the information obtained now, the mastermind behind the scenes is the Noga magnates, although I don't know if it's true or not, but there are people who do want to be unfavorable to the Noga King Gale II. Who is this magnate? If Esparo colluded with them, why was he involved in the trafficking case? What role does Mrs. Ziya play in it?

Minter thought back to the information he had again and again, trying to connect the lines between Esparo and the Hedda family, Lady Ziya, the trafficking syndicate, the mysterious man in black with the shadow bird, the elusive man in gray, and the unknown Noga magnates, but he couldn't come to a conclusion. In the midst of his troubles, he suddenly heard someone call him by his name. When I looked up, it turned out to be the squad leader of the patrol guards.

The squad leader said to him with a smile on his face, "You have always been conscientious, and Mr. Nick praises you for your dedication." I'm going to Monri today to collect debts, it's a good errand, so come with me. ”

Minter asked suspiciously, "Is this okay?" What about the patrol camp? ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The team leader waved his hand, "There are few guests today, there is nothing to do, and it is idle to stay here, let's go to Mengli to have fun together." And there's a bonus. He squeezed his eyes, "This is Mr. Nick's special care for you, saying that it is to reward me and you for working hard, and it doesn't matter if you come back later." ”

Minter frowned slightly. Pretended to have nothing to do, but when he went back to the account to pack his things, he was wondering in his heart, Nick specially asked himself to urge the account, is there any purpose? It also hinted that you don't have to come back so early. Is it something that will happen to Monri, or is there something in the entertainment oasis that he can't know?

As he rode out, he took a few more peeks into the oasis. Sure enough, I found that there were seventy or eighty percent fewer guests, especially no guests in ordinary clothes, and no children and women. What happened? He's been here for so many days, and the entertainment oasis has never been so quiet.

When I arrived in Monri, the first thing I went to look for was a man who lived in the Noga residential area. When Mint saw him, he was startled. The man was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, his face was pale, his eyes were wide open, and there was a hint of madness in his gaze.

The squad leader was a little frightened. Stammered, "We're here to urge... Reminder, you, do you have the money to pay it back?! ”

The man stared at him, dropped a "wait", then turned back to the room and took out a pocket, and asked, "How much?" As he opened his pocket, the coins fell on the table with a clatter. Scattered everywhere.

The team leader was dumbfounded, swallowed a large mouthful of saliva, and then looked at the booklet in his hand and said, "A total of thirty-six gold coins, eight silver coins, and twenty-nine copper coins." His eyes looked at the pile of money with some greed.

The man counted dozens of coins and came out: "Here are thirty-seven gold coins, don't look for them." He still used the burlap bag to carry the money back to the room. The team leader looked at the gold coins, and the whole person froze, and Minter hurriedly stepped forward to put the money in his pocket and pulled him out.

The squad leader whistled and exclaimed, "Has this guy made a fortune?!" How generous?! When I came last month. He was still crying and begging me for a few days. I can't even get the interest on a few silver coins. ”

Minter also felt a little strange and heard footsteps behind him. Then he looked back, and saw that the man had just gone out with a shovel, and walked to the corner of the street to meet a dozen men who were also carrying shovels, hoes, sticks, etc., and said a few words, and then went southeast together.

Minter went to the next house with doubts, and although the debtor was not as generous as the previous one, he also paid the debt and immediately kicked them out of the door. When they were leaving, a middle-aged woman from the next house came to borrow a shovel and said that her husband had taken away her land, and the debtor said, "My family will use it later, and I can't lend it to you." ”

It's not the farming season, and the farmland in Mongolia is almost non-existent, so what are these people going to do with shovels and hoes?

Minter was about to follow to see what was going on, but was stopped by the team leader who was traveling with him: "Where are you going?" There are still a few more that I haven't visited. He had to give up on the tracking plan for the time being.

Finally all the accounts were collected, and the sun had not yet set, and the team leader said happily: "Today is really smooth, I used to have to get it for at least a day or two." As he spoke, he stuffed a small bag to Minte: "Take it, this is your hard work today." A few poor ghosts have become more generous, and we have taken more than before. ”

As soon as Minter pinched the small bag, he knew that it was money, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's rare to have a good harvest today, anyway, Mr. Nick also said that you can go back later, why don't I invite you to my uncle's store for a drink or two?" The local dishes are very famous, and the waitress is also good. ”

The captain of the squad was overjoyed, and without waiting for him to say anything, he pulled him to run to "Fridolf", three glasses of wine, and ate a few dishes of allergic special treats, he said excitedly: "You kid is very good at being a man, I will say that others say that you are arrogant, but in fact, it is a misunderstanding." Don't worry, I will persuade them more when I go back, they are all eating together, and they are not enemies, as long as they find out that you are not what they say, they will definitely treat you as a friend. ”

Minter smiled: "No need, I'm not good at making friends with people, as long as you understand me, captain." ”

"Understood, of course understood!" The team leader took another drink, his face flushed, "You are actually this bad temper and don't like to associate with people, so everyone misunderstands you, even Mr. Nick told me to watch your actions carefully, for fear that you will do bad things." ”

Minte's heart sank, and he poured him a glass of wine, persuaded him to drink, as if casually asked, "Did Mr. Nick keep an eye on me?" What did he say? ”

The team leader's mind was already a little confused, and he said leisurely: "He just said that you always like to walk around and think you have bad intentions." What a grievance! We're on patrol, aren't we coming... Belch... Walking? It's tiring and hard to do this, and we're always looked down upon..."He grumbled and complained, and Minter listened and responded, his eyes glanced at the counter, and Freedo, who was already waiting there, beckoned a good waitress to accompany the captain, and Mint left very "familiarly".

When they arrived at the hut behind the shop, Luma and his brother from the boot shop were waiting. Minter hurriedly greeted them, and then told all the news he had found yesterday, and said: "The person who claims to be called Jie, I suspect that even if he is not the Duke of Jada, he is also an important figure in the political arena of Nuojia. Should we meddle in this matter? ”

Lu Ma pondered for a moment and said, "This matter has been found here, and the matter of the abduction and trafficking group is already secondary. A change in the throne of a country will have a huge impact on the situation on the entire continent, Noga has been preparing for war for several years, it is Prince Mario who is making trouble, King Gale II himself is the lord and faction, but unfortunately his power is too weak to control the situation, but if he dies, the situation will be even worse! ”

He instructed Minter: "Find a way to help him more, not only in terms of intelligence, but you can even help him arrest people if necessary!" Gain his trust as much as possible, get more information, and if the situation allows, test his views on the war. In the past, our security department also planted a lot of people in Nomonka, but they were almost cleared a few years ago, and in the past two years, we have finally released two of them in Noga, both of which are not far from the border, but Nomonka has not. Now that you have the line of Jie, you must not give up! ”

Minter frowned and said, "This person is very alert and not easy to be fooled. A lot of this matter was deduced by myself after the fact, and he said that he confessed, but in fact, he also concealed a lot of things. ”

"It's okay." Luma smiled, "You also hide a lot of things, so bite that you are a place hired by a noble family to go to the place specifically to investigate the trafficking syndicate, so as not to let him find out about your relationship with the Security Service." ”

Minter nodded solemnly, suddenly feeling a little stressed.

It wasn't early, he had to leave, and just as he was about to walk out of the room, he suddenly remembered something, so he said to Friedo: "It's very strange in the entertainment oasis today, there are seven or eight percent fewer guests, and Nick also deliberately sent me out, listening to the drunken man outside, he seems to be suspicious of me." Do you know what's going on in Entertainment Oasis today? ”

Frido frowned and said, "I don't know much about this, but I heard that there are several big people from the north who came to Monri today, and I don't know if it has anything to do with Ziya." ”

To the north, it refers to Nuojia, could it be that Mrs. Ziya really colluded with them? But why did she do it?

"One more thing." "I was in the town just now, and I saw a lot of people gathering with shovels and hoes and other things, what are you going to do?" ”

Frido was stunned, his face suddenly became ugly, and he rushed out. Minter looked inexplicably surprised, and Luma walked behind him and said lightly, "The situation in Monri... It seems to be a little out of control. ”

Hey? What does that mean?
