Chapter 165: Investigation

Early in the morning, in the Maple Leaf Manor.

Li Xuantian woke up before dawn, pushed open the door, walked out of the room, dawn had not yet come, there was a lot of light in the courtyard downstairs, slowly paced to the balcony, looked into the courtyard, in a clearing in the front yard, there were pieces of brown burlap, and the corpse under the burlap was well covered, covering from head to toe.

Li Xuan, who was still a little sleepy, was completely awake in an instant, he slowly sank his face, looked down at the corpses covered by burlap in the open space with cold eyes, and then thought of the group of elves last night.

He slowly walked down the stairs, at this time in the manor, although it was not yet dawn, the kitchen was already busy, and the guards had patrolled the inside of the manor overnight, and secret sentinels were arranged on both sides of the manor to be on guard.

This is the worst day since Li Xuan came to this world. He slowly walked out of the main house, and the two guards at the door hurriedly saluted Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded, and then walked straight to the open space in the front yard.

After walking to the front, Li Xuan was in a worse mood, and then he found that the burlap covered by several corpses was different from others, with obvious bulges, Li Xuan walked over slowly, and soon he understood that these corpses with obvious bulges were all charred black, and they were the ones that were killed by the "thunderbolt lightning" that he cast last night.

Sighing slightly, Li Xuan was in a complicated mood.

The memory of the two worlds vaguely made him feel a headache, and the temples on both sides ached for a while, a very real headache. In another world, Li Xuan's memory and cognition made him a little unacceptable to his behavior last night, and the memory of Pisford in this world made him take it for granted.

He suddenly missed the painkillers of another world, and the headache he felt at the moment was a bit like a migraine.

Li Xuan rubbed his head, trying to adapt himself, the laws and social structure of this world are destined to be unable to live in a peaceful and stable society under the rule of law like the world once was.

And he is no longer the weak ordinary person in the world he once was, and now he has a powerful power that he once couldn't imagine. Although until now, he did not know how strong the power he held in this world, and whether there were other more powerful beings in other parts of this world.

Whether it is Li Xuan or Pisfer, their mentality after mastering the powerful power has always been relatively flat, and they do not want to use this powerful power to do evil, or claim the king.

"Good morning, sir. Boris's voice sounded behind him.

Li Xuan came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Boris, and said to him, "Good morning, Boris." Dispose of these corpses as soon as possible, arrange for someone to inform Viscount Orin and Knight Egger, it is best to let them come to the manor in the morning, last night's attack killed so many people, let them know as soon as possible, and I have something I want to talk to them. ”

"Two people have already been arranged to go to Viscount Olin and Knight Egger, and I will arrange two more people at once to convey your words to them. Boris said.

Li Xuan nodded, stopped talking, walked back to the main house, took a few books from the living room, held them in his hands, put them on the table, and sat down. The candlelight in the living room was very bright, and Li Xuan opened a book and read it slowly.

After a long time, the sky gradually brightened, Li Xuan heard a metallic sound, he looked up in the direction of the door, it was a very formal Knight Egger with a solemn face.

Li Xuan had some equipment from the Knight of Egger, this was the first time he had seen Knight Egger wearing a full suit of armor, this armor looked lighter than the heavy cavalry he had seen when he first arrived in Carouston City, but it was also much more gorgeous.

"Good morning, teacher, I heard about last night's incident, I brought a dozen cavalrymen over, and these people will stay in the manor to protect your safety during this time. ”

"Thank you, Egger. Li Xuan nodded at him, not refusing Egg's kindness.

The fact that he was touched by Meng Feila on the head of the bed last night really made him a little frightened, and if it was an assassin who touched it, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Teacher, as for those strong crossbows and crossbow arrows, I just checked, and they are all dismantled and modified from the Empire's griffin crossbows, and they are ......," Iger paused as he said this.

Li Xuan looked at him: "And what?

"There are unique logos of the Grand Chamber of Commerce on them, and it is certain that these strong crossbows and crossbow arrows are related to the Grand Chamber of Commerce. Iger said with a gloomy face.

"Is this framing?" Li Xuan's face sank.

"I can't be sure, but if it's really the people of the Grand Chamber of Commerce who are revenge, they certainly won't use the equipment engraved with their own Chamber of Commerce logo to assassinate them. Knight Egger said in a deep voice.

Li Xuan looked at Egg silently, a little embarrassed, now he doesn't know what kind of emotions to use for the Grand Chamber of Commerce.

"Since all the strong crossbows and crossbow arrows have the logo of the Grand Chamber of Commerce on them, let them explain it well, if they can't give a satisfactory and reasonable answer......" Li Xuan's eyes were cold, and he didn't continue.

Egg's gaze flickered, and he nodded to Li Xuan.

"The four Jun'en spies you caught before will be interrogated one by one to see if they have any contact with these crossbows and arrows. Li Xuan's expression calmed down a little.

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Egger nodded and said, "Okay, teacher." ”

"What do you think of these assassins?" asked Li Xuan.

Egg pondered for a moment and replied slowly: "The biggest possibility is that the monarch is doing, the Grand Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce, and it is unlikely that there will be such a big deal." ”

"You mean, it's likely that the Jun'en Empire did this?But aren't the Arissanret Empire and the Jun'en Empire an alliance??, why are there so frequent border fights?" Li Xuan asked a little suddenly.

Although Iger was a little surprised by Li Xuan's question, he still quickly replied: "To the southwest of Carouston is the Principality of Lopsius, a subordinate state of the Junen Empire, and the hatred between the Duchy of Lopsius and the Duchy of Zereva can be traced back to centuries, although the empires loyal to each other are peaceful, but the contradictions between the two principalities have never stopped, in fact, not only Lopsius and Zereva, but also the relationship between many principalities under the Arissanrete Empire is not harmonious, and the same is true of the Junen Empire. ”

Li Xuan heard Egger's words, and after being silent for a long time, he slowly spoke: "In any case, let's start the investigation with the Grand Chamber of Commerce first. ”
