Chapter 278: Betrayal
Now that Emperor Paris's imperial decree has not yet reached the Varu Empire, except for the Ministry of Supervision, I am afraid that no one knows that the Rose Knights have been declared dead in battle by the Paris Empire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Count Andy Edmund also used this as an excuse to attack Leo, anyway, by the time the news of Paris reached the imperial capital, I am afraid that the tail of the hand here would have been cleaned up a long time ago, even if someone wanted to overturn the case for Leo, there was no way.
"Hehe, of course, you can't do it with your ability, but I can tell you that I did conquer the Captain of Sidney with my strength. Of course, personal charm also counts as part of strength!" Leo said with a slightly peachy message, causing the nobles to burst into laughter. The meaning of this sentence brings everyone infinite reverie, after all, romance is one of the indispensable elements in the life of the aristocracy, and everyone can understand this.
Leo made several attempts to defeat Count Andy Edmund's accusations, a situation that made Gavin XIII a little dissatisfied, and his face slowly elongated, a little cloudy. Seeing this situation, the Duke of Rawls couldn't care about his identity, and personally jumped out to accuse Leo: "Marquis Leo, please pay attention to the occasion, please don't be rude in front of Your Majesty!"
Without waiting for Leo to react, Duke Rawls turned to Gavin XIII and said, "Your Majesty, in view of the Imperial Supervision Department's questioning of the Marquis of Leo and the defense made by the Marquis of Leo, please allow the Imperial Supervision Department to conduct an internal review of the Marquis of Leo so that the truth can be ascertained." If Marquis Leo really has no other intentions, then it can also dispel everyone's suspicions about him. ”
Duke Solo of the Ministry of Supervision was in the main hall, and he had not yet spoken, but the Duke of Rawls, who was the Minister of State, took the initiative to ask the Ministry of Supervision to investigate Leo, and this unusual behavior made the nobles in the hall aware that there seemed to be a trace of subtlety in it.
Gavin XIII and Leo glanced at each other, but even though they avoided eye contact, he said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then the Senate will temporarily suspend the reward for the merits of the Marquis Leo, and wait until the results of the investigation by the Ministry of Supervision will be discussed." ”
In the meeting of his eyes just now, what Leo saw from Gavin XIII's eyes was coldness, weakness, and suspicion, and there was no trace of his previous friendliness, admiration, and trust. Hearing what Gavin XIII said again, the words "temporarily stop merit reward" kept echoing in Leo's mind, and he instantly understood Gavin XIII's thoughts, and the matter of the high merit was indeed fulfilled in his body.
Leo didn't know how he had participated in the court, he didn't know how he had come out of the hall, he walked out of the hall with the flow of nobles, his mind was full of recalling the bits and pieces of his previous experience with Raymond, and the friendship of the past was so easily wiped out in the blink of an eye, and even turned into suspicion and jealousy. Until Count Andy Edmund walked up to him with a team of guards: "Marquis Leo Covenas, because I suspect that you are involved in a series of events, so please cooperate with us in the investigation." ”
Without waiting for Leo to speak, Duke Solo, who had been following Leo all the time, shouted violently: "Presumptuous! When will it be your turn to represent the Imperial Supervision Department! Don't think that you can do whatever you want if you find a backer!"
For Duke Solo's anger, Count Andy Edmund was naturally mentally prepared, he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said: "Duke Solo, this is the will of His Majesty the Emperor, and you also heard Your Majesty's words at the court meeting, and I will be in charge of the affairs of Marquis Leo." The Ministry of Supervision is busy with miscellaneous work, and you are old and tired, so you will not bother with this matter. ”
Count Andy Edmund's appearance of a villain made Duke Solo even more angry, and just when Duke Solo stepped forward to break out, Chief Senator Nathaniel grabbed Duke Solo's arm from behind and dragged him back.
"Count Andy Edmund, you do your thing! Leo, you ...... Take care!" Nathaniel greeted the two of them separately and dragged the angry Duke Solo away quickly.
It was only after leaving the palace that Duke Solo broke free from Nathaniel and asked, "Why do you want to stop me!
Patriarch Nathaniel looked at Duke Solo, who was old and temperamental, but still the kind of person who couldn't rub the sand in the slightest, and said with some bitterness: "If I don't pull you out, what do you want to do? Don't forget, that Andy Edmund can now have the will of His Majesty the Emperor, and if you want to stop him, isn't that a blatant turn against His Majesty the Emperor?"
When Duke Solo heard this, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily a few times, and then fell silent. After a while, he said to the Nathaniel elder, "Do you have any ideas now, you smiling tiger?"
Patriarch Nathaniel shook his head: "No, after all, this matter was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor, and there is very little we can do. Let's gather everyone to discuss and discuss!"
The news that the Marquis of Leo was taken away by the Ministry of Supervision on suspicion of fornicating with other countries and betraying the interests of the empire was spread by the Duke of Rawls, and quickly spread throughout the imperial capital. Although everyone didn't quite believe that the Marquis Leo, who had made great achievements in war, would betray the empire, those who spread rumors said that they had noses and eyes, and many people saw it with their own eyes when Marquis Leo was taken away, so everyone couldn't believe it.
Everything that happened in the palace was passed on to Ney by the Iga ninjas as soon as possible. Looking at the news delivered by the ninjas, Ney's face was a little unbearable but full of anticipation. And after knowing that Leo was taken away by the Ministry of Supervision, Feng Xifan slapped the table and immediately went to the Ministry of Supervision to snatch Leo out, but Ney still stopped him in time, after all, even if the Ministry of Supervision is not a Longtan tiger's den, at least it is not so easy to get in and out, not to mention that Leo has just been brought in, which is when the security is the strictest.
"Fortunately, you go to the Ministry of Supervision to find out the situation in the Ministry of Supervision, and it is best to get in touch with Young Master Leo. Ney instructed that when Leo was away, there would basically be a heroic figure called Ney to command the overall situation.
Leo summoned a total of four heroes, Feng Xifan is a personal guard, Baodong scumbag is silent, and Mage Merlin is obsessed with magic, only Ney is the most suitable to be in charge of the overall situation, so Leo is very relieved to leave all affairs, big and small, to Ney's full control, and never thought that Ney would make any small moves behind his back.
