Chapter 56: The Loyal Jealous
And for the two uncles, every second that passed, the torment was aggravated. On www.biquge.info the one hand, I don't know if the child is okay, and on the other hand, I am also worried that the little thief on the carriage outside the house will show its original form as soon as the strength of the medicine passes, and it will be too late to exchange hostages.
Eventually, the captain of the garrison stood up and slammed the table hard: "Your Highness Flora, why beat around the bush, can't you say anything directly? The person you want is in the carriage, you can return our children, right?"
"Who do I want?" Flora's eyes flickered, bewildered, "What do you mean, child?"
"What are you pretending to be stupid!" roared the captain of the garrison, "even if you are our enemy, it would be too despicable to use the method of kidnapping our family to force us to commit it!"
The banker's face turned pale, and he hurriedly tugged at the captain's sleeve: "Don't get excited, man. If you have something to say, it's good to say. ”
Flora blinked and replied, "I don't understand what you're saying. When did I kidnap your children? It is very serious to say that Her Royal Highness the princess kidnaps children! Ling Ai, and the little master, I'm afraid they are playing happily at home, if you don't believe it, use the communication crystal to talk to your family, won't it be clear?"
The captain of the garrison was full of suspicion, and quickly took out the communication crystal to talk to his family.
Unexpectedly, the first voice that came from there was a very dissatisfied complaint from the youngest daughter: "Dad, don't you go home for dinner at night?" Let me tell you, if you dare to get drunk again, I will ignore you again. ”
The banker also confirmed that his son was staying home very safely, as if nothing had happened.
The captain of the garrison turned his head to the banker in confusion, only to find that the benevolent brother was already looking at him with the same ignorant eyes.
Flora puffed out her face: "What, I don't know what's wrong with you, you actually imagined me as an evil kidnapper." How could I do such a tasteless thing, I invited the two of you to come just to talk about the current situation of Solantil and make new friends, why be nervous like this. ”
The captain of the garrison panicked, could it be that Yuri in the carriage had been robbed while chatting? His face turned pale, and without saying a word, he stood up and walked out, pushed open the carriage door, and found Vicky and Fake Yuri sitting quietly in the carriage.
"What's wrong?" asked Virgi nervously, "Something isn't right?"
"It's very wrong. The captain rubbed his beard with a complicated expression, "Anyway, it seems that Flora didn't kidnap my little daughter." ”
"What did you say?" said Virgil, too, bewildered.
"My little girl is staying at home now, scolding me in the communication crystal, I hear the background sound, and the sound of construction machinery smashing on the ground, and the road is indeed being repaired in front of my house, and I feel that there is no problem. ”
The captain of the garrison smacked his lips: "Is it possible to be a prank?"
Virgil glared, "But what reason does Flora have to do such a prank? She wants to save Yuri for a good reason, if it is not for this purpose, just ask you to drink coffee here for two hours, what good will it do her?"
The captain of the garrison was also completely clueless: "Anyway, the children are fine." ”
Vicky's eyes were sharp: "Then why don't you take this opportunity to arrest her?"
The captain of the guard slapped his head and nodded, "That's right, Virgie." I was so confused by her that I forgot the most important thing. I'm going to get her right now!"
The captain of the guard secretly hid the handcuffs in his jacket pocket, pretended to be calm and walked back to the coffee shop, and found that Flora was gone, while Mr. Banker sat motionless with his eyes blinked in confusion.
"Where's Flora?"
"I said I went to the bathroom. ”
"Damn it!"
The captain of the guard hurriedly rushed into the bathroom, and there was still half a figure? He was about to leave with the banker in a rage, but was blocked by the little maid who was guarding the shop with open arms.
"Hey, you can't all slip away, someone has to settle the bill!"
"What?" the captain of the garrison was furious, "Don't get in the way! Do you know who I am? Stop me from arresting the prisoner, and I will invite you back to the garrison headquarters for coffee!"
"I don't care! Uncle, seeing that you are dressed like a person with status, how can you still rely on the little girl's account? Rely on the account and threaten to arrest me, believe it or not, I will report you!" the little maid continued to stop unwaveringly.
The captain of the garrison had no choice but to throw out a large bill, and said that he didn't need to look for it, so he pushed the little maid open and rushed out of the door, but naturally, it was impossible to find Flora's figure.
The three of them put the fake Yuri back in the cell, and when they received the news that Oloran was urging them back, they hurried to the prince's mansion without stopping.
Aurora's face was gloomy, and his usually neat mahogany desk was littered with messy papers.
Virgilo noted that it was found that the documents were all from officials of all levels in the royal capital, and that they were protesting the egregious behavior of Lord Maris in searching for Flora's comrades everywhere for no apparent reason.
Virgil said solemnly: "Lord Maris, although it is a good thing to want to make meritorious deeds, don't you think that your approach is too radical? Flora is an ominous princess who has lost power, how can there be so many comrades!"
Marris's face was gloomy: "Virgie, against the cunning Flora, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to miss one." There is a very credible basis for me to search the homes of these ministers. ”
Maris shook the black notebook he had brought with him down, and a long list hung in the air.
"The information received at Lu Lei's house indicates that the minister in charge of the weapons warehouse also has bad intentions. I searched the warehouse for gold of unknown origin, followed the clues of the gold to find the Lord of the Financial Services Department, and I secretly planted the eyeliner, and found that he actually secretly had a pigeon transmission with Flora. The chain of evidence is very clear and conclusive, would you like to see it for yourself?"
Virgie argued: "Even if the chain of evidence is sufficient, you will not make these originally neutral ministers panic with such fanfare! If Flora can win them over, why can't His Highness Auroran?"
The banker remained silent and said in a low voice: "Maris, the result of your operation is nothing more than to set up a large number of enemies for His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"That's enough!" said Auroran angrily, "Maris, if you get dizzy about taking credit, you don't have to worry about the prince's affairs. Next, I would like to ask you to think about countermeasures and use the best public relations strategy to quell the ministers' condemnation of me. ”
Virgil looked at Maris in embarrassment: "But I'm afraid this will have to make Lord Maris suffer a little." ”
The implication is nothing more than throwing the blame to Maris, saying that the things that offend everyone are all the self-determination of this egg-headed dude, in fact, it has nothing to do with the wise and benevolent Prince Oloran.
Maris has never had the time to throw the black pot to others, and there is no precedent in his life for helping others carry the black pot. He knew very well that once this matter was settled, he would become the No. 1 public enemy of the DPRK, and from now on his career would be more difficult and miserable than walking on a frozen lake in the middle of a dark night without stars. But what can you do if you don't carry this pot? Confronted the prince in front of him and said, I'm sorry, my subordinates are doing this out of loyalty, and there is no reason for loyal ministers to be sacrificed. Then, according to the temper of His Royal Highness the Prince, he will have to kick himself to the bottom of the ice lake in the next second.
Maris had no choice but to bow his head and admit it, willing that the prince would lay the guilt of offending the minister on his head. On the one hand, he has been following Auroran since he was young, and he can indeed be called loyal, on the other hand, he also knows very well the prince's character, this pot must be thrown off his back, offending the ministers is not necessarily terrible, offending this master who has served faithfully for so many years, but there will definitely be very terrible consequences.
In the eyes of the captain of the garrison and the banker, this time it was Virgi who had the upper hand in the battle of wits with Maris, on the one hand, he was happy for him, and he was secretly happy because of the annoying egg head falling off the horse, on the other hand, he was also secretly afraid, this old brother looked humble and low-key, but he didn't expect to face political enemies, but he had enough means to clean up the opponent invisibly, fortunately, he was facing him when he stood in line, and it was best not to offend this old brother in the future.
On the way home, the goose-feathered snow fell on his smooth and shiny head, but he was unaware, completely immersed in decadent deep thought.
Maris was very unconvinced, only felt that he had gone unlucky for some reason, only felt aggrieved, but he couldn't say why. It doesn't seem accurate to say that Virgi didn't have the ability to scale, but he did catch Ulysses, and he also detected signs that Flora was secretly communicating with the minister. From another point of view, these so-called merits are of any use to His Royal Highness the Prince? The confidant Flora is still at ease, but the prince, who has completely controlled the situation, turned his hands into clouds and rained in the court, and his power is thriving with his own assistance, but he never thought that today, there is a mountain of resentful denunciations on the table.
The more Maris thought about it, the more wrong it became, but he would never accept the fact that he was also helping His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was stupider than Vicky, and he would not feel that getting a little evidence and rushing to investigate it was a sign of quick success, although Virgil never asked him to investigate the collusion between the ministers and Flora, but he deeply felt that this was also Virgil's fault, if he didn't deliberately want to get any clues, how could he have come to this desperate situation today.
In fact, his logic is very simple-
I am loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince, and Vigie is my enemy.
This proves that Virgy must have a ghost in his heart.
How do I prove that Virgy is not trustworthy? Maris wanders back and forth in front of the house, and Virgy and Yuri fight, and it is indeed a real thing, and there is no mercy at all. If you want to say that the trap he designed in the warehouse didn't trap Flora because he had two hearts, then his star bell flower circle failed, wouldn't he also have two hearts?
While Maris was pondering, his informant, a small, scabyrinned ruffian with a sore face, walked up to him with a light-stained crystal.
The two of them squatted in the corner of the wall, and with the minimum brightness and image size, they watched the picture secretly taken by the informant, and it was like a beam of light shining into Uncle Maris's heart. He twirled on tiptoe with graceful steps, and with a bright slap of his head, the shattered ice shell tumbled down his head.
"Great help, good brother. Maris smirked, "I'll just say that Virga must have been a spy sent by Flora. We'll see, and before long, I'll show him his feet. When the time comes, you will be able to exhale this evil breath of today!"
