Chapter 402: Grapevine

Julius had never been good at court intrigues, so he spent most of the year playing the role of Noo Yamamura. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Because of this, he felt that Ziegler, who was as famous for his uprightness as he was, could hardly imagine such a thorough plan that even Captain Salfin had been deceived by him.

"It's also possible that he usually pretends to be it. Lin Qiu guessed. Especially among the aristocracy, it is not difficult to disguise himself as an upright person, he only needs to say some nonsense on occasions where he should not speak, and people will naturally label him as upright.

"I don't think so, words and deeds may be disguised, but the details are difficult to do. ”

Julius said firmly. He has been dealing with monsters for many years, and he has seen ninety percent of the monsters in the forests around the kingdom of Tarun, and over time, he has developed a beast-like instinct, and he can often figure out more from a small look or movement.

Therefore, he is also very "direct" in his way of life, and this "directness" makes many nobles disgusted with him. Because Julius is not a man who follows the "rules of the game". For example, if he doesn't like Mohr-Powell, he will directly say to Moore: "You're an idiot." "Instead of talking and laughing with him on the surface, and being ready to stab him behind the scenes.

The nobles pay the most attention to face, so the existence of Julius is equivalent to a bug within the "rules of the game" of the nobles. The person he sprayed was hindered by the red tape of the nobles, and could not scold Julius like a shrew. Captain Ziegler, on the other hand, is a trash-talk titan who can spew at any time without anyone next to Julius.

There are also many nobles who have been sprayed by Ziegler.

Of course, this is only one of the details of Ziegler's uprightness, and it at least shows that Ziegler does not enter into friendships with any nobleman in the manner of aristocratic games.

"But I can't think of anyone who will advise him, and his relationship with the other nobles is not good. ”

"But I know. ”

Lin Qiu and Julius hadn't been talking for long when a familiar figure sneaked up in front of them. Since the small garden was almost close to the palace, the visitors could not go so far for a while, so except for the occasional servant who passed by, only Lin Qiu and Julius were left here.

And now there is one more - it is Mohr Powell, who was once called a "fool" by Julius.

More showed a fleeting look of displeasure at the sight of Julius, but he quickly put his past behind him, and he knew what was most important. For example, to clear his suspicions. Anonymous reporting has always been taboo by the aristocracy, but it is a method that most nobles like to play.

It is important that anonymous reports are not discovered by others, as this is all technical work.

Lin Qiu was a little surprised, this was the second time Moore Powell had reported someone to him. This man is obviously one of the most important nobles in the Tarun Kingdom, how can he like to gossip about others behind his back like an old aunt in the neighborhood committee one day.

"I heard that two of the guards had been assassinated by the Assassins shortly after the banquet that day, but the matter was suppressed by Ziegler, and no one knew about it except for a few guards who found the bodies!"

"And how do you know?" said Julius, choking Moore.

"Hmph, as long as you have enough skills, it's not difficult! But that's not the point, the point is don't you think it's a little strange?"

"We already knew that Ziegler was a little weird. Lin Qiu said.

"No, that's not what I mean. Ziegler had always regarded the guards as brothers, and many of the guards in the inner city were comrades who had fought with him in the past, but he didn't say anything about it. ”

"Hmm. ”

Julius rarely agreed with More's point of view: "If it were Ziegler in the past, he would definitely turn the entire inner city upside down, and he would not give up until the murderer was found." ”

And then. More glanced at Julius disdainfully: "Yes, there is a matter of then--one of my sources said he heard Ziegler and Isai Hayvog arguing. I just said that this matter has nothing to do with me at all, I just came to inform you of the situation, and what you think is none of my business. ”

With that, Moore looked around, saw that there was no one around, and sneaked away again.

"Don't look at me, I don't know. Not long after Moore left, Julius and Lin Qiu looked at each other and waved their hands innocently: "Moll-Powell is a representative figure of old treachery and cunning, and no one knows when he is telling the truth and when he is telling a lie. And the nameless source of information like "an informant" seems to be unconvincing. ”

"Aren't you intuitive?"

Julius hung the dead fish's eyes, and his voice was listless: "Sometimes it suddenly doesn't work...... Ahem, well, from what he had just done, I could only tell that he seemed to be scared, and Moore rarely did such a dishonorable thing. But this doesn't prove anything, he may be a thief, or he may have really discovered something. That's just a question for himself. ”

Or...... Let's investigate the two dead guards. Lin Qiu suggested that since Moore could get this information out of the guards' mouths, they might be able to find out more.

However, this proposal was bad news for Julius.

"Actually, there's one thing I've been hiding from you......"

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly covered his chest with a painful face: "I have had a strange disease that no one can cure since I was a child, and once I get up from the bench, I will ...... Wow!"

Julius's performance didn't last long, and he was dragged up from the bench by Lin Qiuyi.

"Is this a human thing!?" Julius condemned Lin Qiu's criminal behavior one after another: "If I fall ill and die, how will you compensate me?"

"No one can feign illness in front of me. As a grandmaster-level figure who pretended to be sick, Lin Qiu's eyes were full of disdain: "I haven't used your excuse since junior high school. ”

"Junior high school?

"You don't need to know. ”

So something happened in the small garden that made the servants look sideways, and the famous Captain Julius leaned over and was dragged out by Lin Qiu with a reluctant face.

......

On the other side, the royal palace.

"Leah. ”

The head maid, Karen, suddenly hurried in from outside the door: "Bishop Anthony is here!"

"Bishop Anthony?" Leah looked surprised.

They did not send invitations to the church, and as the leader of the sect, Anthony never attended court banquets. Since Leah's accession to the throne, the bishop had never seen her in person. Even in some important negotiations, Antony only sent the nuns of the sect to the meeting, which showed his contempt for royal power.

"He's at the entrance to the inner city. ”

"Get rid of him. Leah was a little unhappy, he hated Bishop Anthony and the nuns.

"Let him in. Alyssa saw Leah's displeasure and raised her eyebrows: "I just want to see what kind of leader of the sect is." ”
