"What a nice estate. Patrick looked at the two rows of maple trees and said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan also looked at the maple tree and smiled at Patrick, "Yes, when I saw these two rows of maple trees, I liked it very much, so I bought it." I love the tall plant like the maple tree. Although the leaves are red and begin to fall off in winter, they are still vibrant. Oh, by the way, the name of this manor is called Maple Leaf Manor. ”

"Master Li Xuan, you are the most poetic mage I have ever seen, maybe in the future, you can publish a book of poems. Patrick laughs.

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, I like poets, because they always find a lot of beauty in this world, and these are beautiful things that we usually find difficult to perceive. ”

"Discover the beauty of the world? Well, you're right. ”

The two men chatted happily as they walked around the garden, and instead of following them, Quincy and Ian commanded the guards to drag two unusually heavy wooden boxes full of gold coins out of the wagon and carry them into the manor.

Patrick suddenly asked, "When I was in the imperial capital, I heard that Master Li Xuan was good at water magic and had mastered the 'prayer technique'. ”

In the temple of the city of Carouston.

Egg, who had eaten pork liver for several days in a row, felt that his body was recovering quickly, and his face was ruddy, today was the first time he got out of bed after his injury, which made him even more in awe of Li Xuan, the last time he was seriously injured, he was unable to move for a whole month, and this time the injury was more serious, and the recovery was faster.

"Lord Egger, the clue is broken. Trump, the personal guard, whispered in front of Egger.

"Damn!" Egger frowned, a look of anger on his face, and another clue was broken.

"Lord Iger, perhaps, we shouldn't start with the Chamber of Commerce. Trump continued.

Iger glanced at him, "You go on. ”

"Before and after the accident, every member of the Chamber of Commerce who entered and left the camp could have been exposed to this information, and the Chamber of Commerce's investigation of these people is not credible. There were a total of four chambers of commerce, who came in and out during that time, and held a meeting to get all the heads of the four chambers in Carouston City together, so that they could cooperate and control those who might leak information. Then one by one. Trump analyzed slowly.

Iger didn't immediately say anything after hearing this, and slowly walked around the temple with a weak body, he wanted to give an explanation to the six dead cavalrymen, but at the same time, he couldn't implicate the innocent, there were many people in and out of the camp during that time, and if they were tried one by one, they would inevitably use some lynching, and so many people, it was impossible for them to all participate, the most likely was one or two people involved.

"How many people are there?" Iger asked Trump slowly, looking up and squinting at the sky.

"26, there are 4 people in charge of transporting meat, vegetables and fruits in the Dorne Chamber of Commerce in those days, and these 4 people have cooperated for many years, all of them are old employees of the Chamber of Commerce. The Polis Chamber of Commerce came every evening to deliver the clothes and bedding that had been cleaned the previous day, and at the same time took away the dirty clothes and bedding of the day, and the employees of the Polis Chamber of Commerce who came in and out in those days were also 4 people. Trump said carefully.

"The Iron Chamber of Commerce also came to the camp once in those days, and there were more people coming and going, there were two carriages and 12 people. Brought a well-maintained steel sword and shield. The last one is the Glen Chamber of Commerce, which has six people who have sent more than a dozen inoculated mares. If it was a member of the cavalry regiment who did it, then the most suspicious person was among these 26 people. After saying that, Trump looked at Iger and waited for him to make a decision.

Iger didn't speak in a deep voice, nor did he look at Trump's eyes, the previous investigations were based on the investigation and questioning of people who had passed by the camp council hall in those days, the number was only three, but none of the three people were suspicious.

Trump said that it is a very good way, with the cooperation of the Chamber of Commerce, control these 26 people, conduct individual interrogation, if the leak of the news is really among these 26 people, you will definitely be able to find out some clues, but if you want to find out the person who leaked the news from these 26 people, you must use some torture methods, and the torture methods will be too harmful to other innocent people.

"You make me think. Iger pondered for a long time before speaking to Trump.

"Yes, Lord Egger. A hint of disappointment flashed in Trump's eyes.

Iger looked at him, felt Trump's emotions, and said to him with hatred: "I will definitely investigate this matter to the end, no matter who it is, I will definitely send him to the gallows with my own hands." ”

Trump nodded, he knew the difficult choice faced by Knight Egger, as an imperial knight, it was very easy to cause criticism by using torture methods on 26 people without conclusive clues, and it might even attract interrogation and questioning from the imperial knight's court. But Trump and Iger have different ideas, as long as they find the person who leaked the news and compensate others, this matter can be satisfactorily resolved.

"How is Pato doing now?" Iger asked, looking at Trump.

"He is recovering well from his injuries and has been eating pork liver for several days recently, and his face looks much better than the other day. However, the pastor still told not to do too much strenuous exercise, and to try to prevent the wound from bursting. He's been tracking down news from the Chamber of Commerce lately. I also ran to the border once, and I think he should have found a lot of clues, but I haven't seen him for several days, and there is no news from him. ”

Trump paused here and continued to speak: "Actually, the idea of starting with the people below the Chamber of Commerce was the one he came up with, and the last time I saw him, he said that if you still don't find any clues from the Chamber of Commerce, I will make suggestions to you to control those 26 people first." ”

Egger's eyes darkened, he didn't want to find the person who leaked the news as soon as possible, but he just used torture on 26 ordinary people, violating his own chivalry and knightly will.

"Any other news?" said Egger, digressing the subject.

Trump thought for a moment and said slowly: "Something happened last night. ”

"What's the matter?" Iger asked him.

Trump replied: "Among the Imperial Magicians who arrived yesterday, a mage named Quincy and Master Giroud traveled to almost all the chambers of commerce in the city. ”

"Chamber of Commerce, what are the two of them doing at the Chamber of Commerce?" Iger asked curiously.

"Borrow money. Trump said.

"Borrow money?" Iger thought he had misheard.

Trump went on to say: "Well, borrow money, it is said that a total of 300,000 gold coins were borrowed. ”

Egger's eyes widened in surprise and he asked, "How many gold coins?"

"300,000. ”
