Magellan was so angry when he heard Lin Yue's words, did his subordinates still need someone else to teach him a lesson?

"Brother Tuhao, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Don't you understand, Lord of the Imperial Law? Lin Yue pointed to Karrick on the ground, and said solemnly: "This person, as a general of the empire, actually openly insulted me, as the duke of the empire, what kind of crime should he be guilty of?" ”

"When did Karrick offend you?" Magellan gritted his teeth.

"He is disrespectful to me, I have come all the way to see my wife and I have been turned away, I am disrespectful to me." Lin Yue said confidently.

"Karrick is just loyal to his duty, and he has no disrespect for you, Duke, I ......" Magellan knew that Lin Yue was wholeheartedly looking for fault, and originally wanted to explain two sentences, but he simply didn't say anything later.

"According to the laws of the empire, it is a capital offense to openly insult a nobleman, I just punched him twice, which is a small punishment and a big commandment, so he has to thank me for sparing his life, Lord Commander, do you think you should thank me?" Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Yes, he should thank you." Magellan laughed angrily, but then changed his words and said: "Carrick has offended you with the following crimes, so how can you explain that the Duke has violated military discipline and indiscriminately invaded military places?" ”

Since Lin Yue wanted to play a scoundrel here, Magellan decided to follow his example and take Lin Yue into the army.

"Violation of military discipline? I'm not a soldier, so why should I violate military discipline? It doesn't seem right for the Commander to say that. ”

"Duke, it's not right for you to say that, this is the Northern Military Department, and there is discipline in the military department, even if it is a nobleman, violating military discipline must also be punished." Magellan said.

"Is that so?" Lin Yue looked back at Lady Elizabeth.

"The laws of the empire do have such provisions." Lady Elizabeth nodded.

"Okay then." Lin Yue pondered for a while, then opened his hands and said to Magellan: "For the sake of fairness, I am willing to accept any punishment, and the Lord Commander will tell me what kind of punishment I will receive." ”

Hearing this, Magellan said with a sneer on his face: "According to military discipline and regulations, those who trespass on military places will be sentenced to 100 canes and imprisoned for 10 years. ”

"Wait, my husband is the Duke of the Empire, and the sentence that the Lord Commander said is according to the commoners, how can it be used on the nobles, as far as I know, the nobles are only fines at most for trespassing on military places." Lady Elizabeth said.

Magellan's face sank, Lady Elizabeth was not wrong, there was indeed this provision in the imperial law, which protected the aristocracy.

"Fines? How much do you need? Lin Yue asked with a wink.

"According to the regulations, it's about 5,000 gold coins." Lady Elizabeth said cooperatively.

"Okay, I'm willing to pay this fine." Lin Yue smiled slightly, spread out his right hand, and after a flash of blue light, a bag of heavy gold coins was thrown to the ground, "There are 6,000 gold coins here, and the extra fine can be regarded as compensation to you." ”

Magellan looked at the bag of gold coins that fell to the ground, his face twitched slightly, is this hateful guy going to send them away with money?

Although there is reluctance, but the imperial law does have clear provisions, there is a considerable degree of protection for the illegal class of the aristocracy, not to mention indiscriminately trespassing on military places, even if you kill someone, many times you will be fine with a small amount of money.

It was the first time that Lin Yue felt the benefits of the so-called aristocratic privileges today, and after dealing with Magellan's grievances, Lin Yue immediately got down to business.

"Commander Magellan, we are here today to investigate the cause of death of the two marshals, I think your northern military department hopes to find the murderer as soon as possible, I don't know what clues you have found now, can you tell me?"

"I'm sorry, we will investigate the cause of death of the two marshals, so we won't trouble you, Duke."

Magellan obviously didn't want Lin Yue and them to interfere in the investigation, and although he spoke very tactfully, the meaning of rejection in his words was also very obvious.

"In that case, I won't force it, please go back, Lord Commander." Lin Yue immediately issued an order to evict the guests.

The corners of Magellan's mouth twitched slightly, this manor seems to be the place of their northern military headquarters, right? Why does it seem to be his place now?

However, Magellan did not plan to stay and reason with Lin Yue, the other party was also the Duke of the Empire, and he was not good at offending him to death.

After Magellan left with someone, Maggie was relieved, she didn't expect the matter to be resolved so quickly, but the process can be described as terrifying.

Magellan may not do anything to Lin Yue, the duke, but if other people want to be guilty, they can't just pay a fine like Lin Yue.

"Yue, the Northern Military Department now makes it clear that they don't want us to investigate the cause of the death of the two marshals, they must be hiding something." Lady Elizabeth said.

"Since they don't want us to investigate, then let's not check it well, so as not to startle the snake." Lin Yue said leisurely.

"Don't check? So you just said, let's go and find Arman VII hidden behind it? If we don't investigate, how can we find this tyrant? Daphne frowned.

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements, in the next few days, you will all stay here obediently, don't forget, you are under house arrest by the Northern Military Department, if you leave without permission, there will definitely be unnecessary trouble." Lin Yue said.

"There are so many of us here, as long as you don't get into trouble, who will take the initiative to cause trouble?" Maggie whispered.

……

In the next few days, everyone really stayed in the manor according to Lin Yue's wishes, and in the dark, someone from the Northern Military Department was watching all the time.

At this time, in the conference room of the Northern Military Headquarters, the high-ranking officials of the Second and Third Legions sat in a circle, and the current supreme leader of the Second Legion, Evan Lit, said: "I heard that the Imperial Capital has sent a Duke to our Celik County to demand a thorough investigation into the cause of death of the two marshals and arrest the murderers, and now, the Duke is living in the manor under the name of your Third Legion. ”

Magellan, who was sitting opposite, said, "Yes, the duke did come to live in the manor under our jurisdiction yesterday. ”

Evangelitt said, "In that case, why didn't you report to our Second Legion?" ”

Magellan shrugged and said, "On the side of the imperial capital, they have always wanted us to hand over the military power and put it under the command of the new emperor, what do you think is their intention in sending people to investigate the cause of death of the two marshals at this time?" ”

Evangelett said: "Do you suspect that the death of the marshal is related to the imperial capital?" ”

Magellan said: "At least so far the evidence suggests. ”

A female commander sitting next to Evangelite said, "Didn't your Third Legion already hold Elizabeth, Lord of Emerald County, in captivity? What useful things have you found out from her these days? Can you confirm that the other party is the murderer? ”

Magellan shook his head and said, "There is no conclusive evidence yet. ”

Evan Litt said: "Since there is no evidence, we can only release people, after all, the other party is a lord, and her husband is an imperial duke, and it is not a way for us to keep people under house arrest." ”

"People can't put it." An old voice suddenly sounded from outside the conference room, and I saw an old man with gray hair walking in from the door.

"Mr. Sennett!"

Seeing the old man come in, Evan Litt and Magellan and the others stood up together, and it was not difficult to see that the high-ranking people sitting in the Northern Military Headquarters had great respect for the old man, and they all stood up to greet him in person.

This old man named Sennet was the former Marshal of the Third Legion, and was a Terran hero during the Hundred Years' War with Marshal David of the First Legion, and his status in the army was transcendent.

Later, after Sennet stepped down from the position of marshal, the marshal of the Third Army was succeeded by his friend Bangu. Upon learning that the two marshals had been killed, Sennet rushed from his territory to the north through the night.

Earlier, Sennet had already heard the conversation between Magellan and Evangelett outside, and he was furious, especially when he learned that the murderer had not been found.

"You two bastard boys, it's taken so long to find the murderer! Bongu and Hughes have believed you wrong. Although he had retired, Sennet still had a lot of connections in the army, and as soon as he came in, he scolded the two army commanders, Magellan and Evangelett, without giving any face.

"Mr. Sennett, we are already investigating, please be patient." Evan Litt also had a headache when he saw Sennet, the old marshal of the former Second Army had an unusual temper, and he had to wait carefully every time he came.

"It's that sentence again, what else can you say besides saying this?" Sennet snorted coldly, showing great displeasure with Evan Little.

Magellan, who was watching from the side, smiled when he saw this: "Mr. Sennett is angry, in fact, although we have not found the murderer of the two marshals, we can be sure that this matter is related to the new emperor of the imperial capital." ”

"Huh? Is it true? Sennett asked.

Evangelett didn't expect Magellan to suddenly say such a thing, and his brows couldn't help but furrow, but because Sennet was present, he didn't question immediately.

Seeing that Sennet's attention was already attracted by his words, Magellan continued: "As we all know, our Second and Third Legions have always been loyal to His Majesty Emperor Arman VII, but two months ago, Empress Melina and Marshal David of the First Legion combined with the two Imperial Dukes staged an unprecedented royal impeachment, forcing Arman VII to step down. Hmph, on the surface, this is true, but their real purpose is known to everyone, which is nothing more than to seize the military power of the Second and Third Army Corps in the name of southward support, reorganize all the troops, and let us swear allegiance to the new emperor. ”

"I also have a little bit to say about this matter, I heard that Arman VII is still missing, and is wanted by the new imperial regime." Sennet nodded.

"There is another thing that you may not know, Mr. Sennett, your former comrade-in-arms, Duke Sergat was framed a few months ago, and it was the adventurer Duke who raised the new emperor and recently became the new emperor's teacher, the grand duke of the local tyrant."

"What, this man killed Serget?" Sennet's eyes widened, as if he really didn't know about it.

At the beginning, Duke Sergat was exterminated from his family, and the news released by the imperial capital was that he intended to rebel and used his position to embezzle military salaries during the Hundred Years' War.

Sennet actually knows these things, as a Terran hero of the same period, the friendship between the two is not shallow, for Sergette's death, he can only sigh that the other party was blinded by interests back then, and now he deserves it, but he didn't expect to learn from Magellan's mouth that there is another hidden reason for Sergette's death.

Evan Litt listened to it and felt that something was wrong, why did Magellan suddenly bring the topic to the local tyrant brother Grand Duke, these things are related to the death of the two marshals?

"Magellan, you keep talking for me." Sennet, desperate to know the truth, asked.

"Yes." Magellan nodded first, and then said slowly: "Regarding the impeachment of the royal family, I think it needs what conditions it needs to be launched, Mr. Sennet should be wrong, it needs to be jointly proposed by all the reigning dukes of the empire, and it can only take effect with the support of more than 50% of the ministers of the court." But as far as I know, during the reign of Duke Sergette, neither Empress Melina nor Marshal David proposed royal impeachment, until less than a week after Duke Sergat was exterminated, the royal impeachment was suddenly jointly proposed by the only two remaining dukes at that time, you say, is it a coincidence? ”

"Sergette has a good relationship with Arman VII, and he should not support the impeachment of the royal family." Sennet's eyes narrowed, and his fist on his knee clenched tightly.

"That's right, it's already very clear that Empress Melina and Marshal David deliberately exposed the embezzlement of military salaries by Duke Sergette back then, and after eliminating Duke Sergat who opposed the impeachment of the royal family, they united with the other two imperial dukes to oust Arman VII from power. Now, in order to support the new emperor, they want to take away the military power of the second and third legions guarding the north under the pretext of the demon invasion. However, the two marshals Bangu and Hughes found out about this, so they became angry and sent assassins to assassinate the two marshals......"

"Bang!"

Almost by the time Magellan finished speaking, Sennet couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and slapped his palm on the table, and under the tremendous force, the table shattered.

"Queen Melina and David actually killed my three brothers for their own selfish desires?"

Seeing Sennett so angry, Evangelett frowned and said, "Magellan, is there any basis for your words, is it just a few words of yours?" ”

Magellan laughed and said, "Proof? The impeachment of the royal family is something that the whole world knows, and as for the death of Duke Sergit, you can just send someone to the south to investigate it. As for the deaths of the two marshals, who do you think could be the murderers other than the assassins of the new imperial faction? You don't know that some time ago, when the new emperor sent Elizabeth to negotiate, the attitude of the two marshals was that they were trying their best to oppose the troops to the south, and as a result, the two marshals were assassinated not long after. ”

"Hughes and Bangu have always been confidants of His Majesty Emperor Arman VII, and it is unlikely that they will support the new emperor." Sennet said in a deep voice.

The meaning of this sentence is obvious, and he is biased towards Magellan's inference, which represents the new imperial power, and it is very likely that Empress Melina and Marshal David, who represent the new imperial power, sent assassins to assassinate the two marshals in order to take over the entire northern military headquarters.

Evan Litt had nothing to say at this time, so he had to sigh lightly.
