When the corpses of Hei Zhi and Vid Yu appeared in the underground cellar of the Luoli Mansion that had not been used for many years, countless different versions of the story suddenly spread in Snow City. However, under the guidance of man, the version that was finally preached became that the lord of Luoli City discovered that his wife had an affair with the official in charge of the treasury, and the usually amiable city finally couldn't control his anger and killed the adulterer ** in a rage, and afterwards in order to escape responsibility, he staged a scene of thieves shouting and chasing thieves, and first came to the Finance Department to remind your officials that Pod Yu was missing. Then the whole city-state went on a rampage to find his wife to attract the attention of the people, after all, how many people would pay attention to a small official compared to the lady of the city lord. Later, when the turmoil passed, people would forget about it, who would have thought that in fact, the city lord would hide the two people in his mansion? During this period, Luo Li only had to find a time to dispose of the two corpses. However, people are not as good as heaven, the city lord made a mistake when he hid the corpse at the beginning, and even the city lord himself did not notice it, his every move was seen by an anonymous citizen, and then the report letter was handed over to the whip Bad Miku, which immediately attracted his attention, and only then did the city lord of Luoli miscalculate.
Suddenly, this incident can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire imperial capital, and its popularity is not lower than that of the people, some people intercede for the city lord, and anyone who puts such a thing on them will be carried away by anger, and some people think that Luo Li, as the city lord, should set an example. However, no matter what people said, Luo Li did not have much opportunity to speak, and under the leadership of the eldest prince, his "sophistry" was useless, and he was imprisoned for murder in just a few days, pending further trial.
Unlike the disaster on Luoli's side, the second prince of Resnot, Lingchen Resnot, has finally moved out of the camp of the Order Legion and bought a mansion of his own in the noble district near the palace.
Sitting in the hall of his new house, Ling Chen was still very satisfied with his new home, although according to his plan, this house should not be used for too long. As soon as he moved into a new house, Ling Chen had two tenants, one was the blazing saint of the former Vic Sanctuary, the beautiful elf Lufel, and the other was the kobold magician Dou Wo. Previously, the two of them had been living in Ye Xiao's Bounty Hunter Guild, helping Ye Xiao do some of the commissions they could, but in the end, they were still Ling Chen's guests, and now that Ling Chen had a fixed and comfortable residence, they naturally had no reason to continue to stay in the union. As for the sky elf Xiao Qiong, he accepted Ye Xiao's commission and had already left Resnot. In order to make his Bounty Hunter Association more formal, Ye Xiao wants to be recognized by the Magician Association, and authorizes himself to also conduct the assessment and certification of magicians, after all, Resnot, the human empire, also has many human magicians. As Xiao Qiong, who originally worked in the Wizards Association, he returned to the Vic Sanctuary this time to help Ye Xiao obtain the certification of the Wizards Association.
Due to the matter of the city lord of Luoli, His Royal Highness the second prince moved to a new house and did not become people's attention, and this prince, who has always been low-key, did not care too much, and sat quietly in his hall and waited, according to his plan, it should not be long before someone came to find him.
Sure enough, it was not out of Ling Chen's expectations, and Liao Qian walked in: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness Ye Xiao has come down." ā
Ling Chen nodded. Liao Cheng left the hall to open the door, and walked in with Ye Xiao, although he moved to a new home, Ling Chen had not had time to hire housekeepers and servants, and these tasks could only be temporarily handed over to Liao Cheng to handle.
Ye Xiao walked in with a smile on his face: "Wow, second brother, your new home looks good!"
Ling Chen nodded, lifted the black tea that Lu Feier had just brewed for him, and was about to take a sip, when Ye Xiao suddenly pulled out the dagger on his waist and stabbed at Ling Chen with a sword, but it was too late to say that it was too fast, and Liao Qi, who was in front of Ye Xiao, reacted extremely quickly, and immediately raised his hand, draped it on the back of Ye Xiao's hand, and knocked down the dagger in Ye Xiao's hand.
"Tsk!" Ye Xiao smashed his mouth: "Still so cautious!"
"His Royal Highness Ye Xiao still needs to practice more, in my opinion, it seems that you can't retreat!"
"Things have been too slow for the unions lately. ā
Ling Chen smiled slightly, he had heard that Ye Xiao's Bounty Hunter Association seemed to be on the right track, and more and more people came to entrust him, and at the same time, there were many talented people who came to interview to become bounty hunters.
Ye Xiao sat in front of Ling Chen with a sad expression, Ling Chen looked at him, it seemed that he was not here to visit his new house.
Lu Fei Er walked over and handed Ye Xiao a cup of black tea, yes, Liao Qi played the role of the housekeeper, and Lu Fei temporarily played the role of the maid.
Ye Xiao was very familiar with Ling Chen's temper, and if he knew that if he didn't speak, the two of them could watch face-to-face for a whole day: "Second brother, do you know any inside story about the matter of the Luoli City Lord?"
Ling Chen didn't respond to him, but looked at him curiously, there were two things he was curious about, one was that he asked what he was doing here, and the other was why he thought he knew the inside story.
Seeing that Ling Chen didn't respond, Ye Xiao sighed and took out a power of attorney from his arms: "At this time, with the entrustment of the royal class. He commissioned an investigation into the truth of the matter and cleared his father's innocence. ā
Ling Chen picked up the power of attorney and looked at it, and I have to say that this commission is really formal.
"As the guild leader, since I have a commission, I should complete it, and as a good friend, I also want to help him. In both public and private, I want to know if it is the same as the rumors from the outside world. ā
Ling Chen shook his head: "I don't know." ā
Ling Chen told the truth, although he ordered Lin Hou and Fei Ying to deal with Luo Li, but how the specific plan was implemented, how they arranged it, who was involved, how many people were involved, he didn't ask about it, and no one told him, so he didn't know, if he wanted to say that he knew, then the matter of Freedom Luo Li should be related to Lin Hou and Fei Ying, that's all. And he's not sure exactly how.
"That's it!" Ye Xiao sighed: "Second brother, I know that you are preparing to compete with the eldest brother for the position of the prince, and I also support you, but I really hope that you don't have to hurt these loyal ministers." ā
Ling Chen nodded.
"Okay!" Ye Xiao exhaled and stood up: "Anyway, congratulations on moving to a new house, I still have a lot of things to do on the union side, I'll leave first today, when I'm free, I'll come to visit you again." ā
Ling Chen stood up and patted Ye Xiao's shoulder: "Let's go." Saying that, he sent Ye Xiao out of the house all the way, looked at the rain outside, calculated the time, and did not go home, but let Liao Yu drive a carriage to his favorite tavern.
Let Liao Qian wait in the hall, and walked into the private room, where Fei Ying and Lin Hou had already ordered the wine and food and were waiting for him.
Seeing Ling Chen walk in, the two did not salute respectfully like ordinary people when they saw Ling Chen, but invited Ling Chen to sit down like friends.
"Okay, what's the situation now?" and the first thing Ling Chen said when he sat down was to ask about the current situation.
"The eldest prince has been trying to find a way to deal with Luo Li, and now that we have given him such a good opportunity, I think that no matter what, Luo Li is no threat to your Royal Highness in the election. Lin Hou said.
However, the speech arranged by the eldest prince for His Royal Highness is also very effective, and His Royal Highness's recent performance has been constantly improving in people's hearts. ā
Ling Chen nodded, it seems that everything is going well, then the next step is to deal with the oath.
"Your Highness!" Lin Hou suddenly said: "Regarding the Luoli City Lord, he is a good official, I really hope that His Highness can give him a good result." ā
"Don't worry!" Fei Ying said, "As long as His Highness becomes the master of this country, Luo Li will naturally be fine." Fei Ying said as she took out the list that she had already shown to Ling Chen: "I have already handed over this list to Olan. Is Your Highness going to start working?"
Lin Hou looked at the list: "Although these people all support the eldest prince, there are also many talented people among them, and they really want to ...... them like this."
Ling Chen looked at him: "If they can't be used by me, no matter how talented they are, it's useless." ā
"Just like your father, isn't he talented?" Fei Ying patted Lin Hou's shoulder lightly: "Wang Xuan is so cruel, it's like a big gamble, winning, just like the lord of Luoli City, from a small clan to the lord of a city in the blink of an eye, losing is like your father, a family of heroes...... Away from home. ā
Lin Hou nodded, he understood that the so-called shuffling was to shuffle away the cards that he didn't need and replace them with what he needed.
"Then Your Highness ......"
Ling Chen shook his head: "Wait a minute, I'm going to pull out all his fangs when he is most angry, so that he can completely lose his mind!"
"Understood. Fei Ying thought for a moment: "There is one more thing. ā
Ling Chen looked at Fei Ying: "Your Highness made an agreement with the patriarch of the canine clan before, a group of canine people have come to Snowal, how to settle them?"
"Let them be bounty hunters and help the people of Snowal fulfill their commissions. At the same time, if you publicize this, don't I want to aim at national reunification? Let the people see how I practice it. ā
