Chapter 14: Imprisonment

The Debs family has paid a lot for the smuggling of water and jade ore. Bernard specifically put his third brother in charge of this, and the Lancel brothers were his third brother's right and left men.

Lin Lei, who was standing in the council hall, remained silent, and Shadow Rat Beibei also stood on Lin Lei's shoulder.

One person and one demonic beast watched all this happen quietly as if they were out of the way. Even when he saw Bernard's distress gaze, Lin Lei didn't react in the slightest.

For a moment-

The clash of shackles and chains rang out, and two blond-haired men walked in, escorted by the palace guards, into the chamber. Both men were shackled and chained. Just looking at the thickness of the shackles, I feel that it weighs at least one or two hundred pounds.

This kind of heavy lock is designed to lock this extremely powerful warrior.

"Patriarch. ”

The two blond-haired men walked into the council chamber, especially when they saw Bernard kneeling on the ground, and they couldn't help but smile on their faces, and they both saluted and shouted to Bernard.

Lin Lei, who was standing on the side, understood.

I'm afraid that these Rancil brothers are the two leaders who carry out smuggling. And it should have a close relationship with the Debs family.

"The Debs family, it's dangerous. Lin Lei just watched quietly from the sidelines.

Bernard looked at the two blond-haired men and wondered, "Huh, Lansil, why were you two brothers imprisoned by His Majesty, I didn't give you 100,000 gold coins a few months ago." Did you go and live a good life?"

The two blond-haired men were stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Patriarch, are you joking?" said Rancil with a smile.

Next to him, Dilanmir sneered and said, "Patriarch, what's the matter? At this time, you still want to quibble? Forget it, you should plead guilty." ”

Bernard had an exasperated look on his face. He stood up suddenly, glaring at Ransil and Ranmir: "Ransil, Ranmir, the two of you have been cultivated by our Debs family since childhood, what I do to the two of you, the two of you also know in your hearts." ”

"Yes, you are good to us, but our brothers have been working hard for you Debs for so many years. Big Brother Rancil sneered.

Bernard became more and more angry, stretched out his right index finger and pointed at the two Lancel tremblingly: "You two, you are really ungrateful. Yes, you have worked for my Debs family for many years, but you have been embezzling for so many years, taking the family's wealth into your own hands. Half a year ago, I thought that for the sake of your many years of service, I will spare your life and give you 100,000 gold coins, so that you can go back and live a good life. But you ...... You are not only ungrateful for what smuggling you are involved in now. I was caught, and instead came to slander my Debs family!"

Rancil and Ranmir were stunned and looked at Bernard in a daze.

"I, we're embezzling?you, you're going to give us 100,000 gold coins?" Ransil and Ranmir were confused.

Bernard became more and more angry, suddenly turned his head and knelt down in front of Clyde, and wept bitterly: "Your Majesty, these two people are simply wolves that can't be fed." When they were young, I saw them as lonely and pitiful, and adopted them. Later, they were also given important responsibilities. But they took the family's wealth into their own pockets. Even after the incident, I finally remembered that I had spared their lives for many years of kindness and gave them 100,000 gold coins to send them back, which was already the most benevolent and righteous. But what about them now? To destroy my Debs family, my heart is too ruthless. Your Majesty, I am sad, I am sad!!"

At this moment, Bernard is crying bitterly. It made the nobles and adults in the council hall wonder if the two of them really slandered Bernard.

"Bernard, you, you ......" The two brothers, Rancil and Ranmir, blushed with anger, and couldn't say a word.

How much did the two brothers sacrifice for the Debs family.

Even smuggling is willing to do it, it is because the two brothers are not afraid of death, this time if it were not for the fact that His Majesty Clyde gave them a really high benefit, they would not have betrayed the Debs family.

But now Bernard says that there is no such thing at all!

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Clyde glanced at Bernard.

Clyde also realized that this Bernard was probably prepared, otherwise he would not have made up a lie. I'm afraid that even if he investigates, he won't find any flaws.

"Hmph, it's a pity that Bernard's third brother jumped into the river, and he couldn't even find his body. Otherwise, if he catches his third brother, Bernard will have nothing to say. Clyde also had some hatred in his heart.

Smuggling of water jade ore.

The water jade vein, that is the property of the kingdom of Finlay, and it is also the property of his Clyde.

To smuggle water jade ore is to take away his Clyde's property. Clyde naturally hates.

It's just that now Bernard's third brother jumped into the surging river and committed suicide, and the Debs family seems to be prepared for the betrayal of Rancil and Ranmir.

"Bernard, I won't wrong a good person. Clyde said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Bernard still had tears on his face.

Clyde's voice suddenly cooled: "However, I will not let go of anyone who betrays the interests of the kingdom. According to what I know, it seems that the person in charge of smuggling this time is your third brother. ”

"Third brother?" Bernard looked at Clyde suspiciously.

Clyde gave Bernard a cold look: "What, you still have something to say?"

Bernard had an aggrieved expression: "Of course there is something to say, Your Majesty, I really don't know why you said this, but my third brother has already left the Finlay Kingdom a year ago and started his travel adventures in various countries." I sent a letter back a few days ago. ”

Clyde's eyes froze.

His men personally reported that they had captured Bernard's third brother. The third brother of Bernard jumped directly into the surging river when he was seriously injured, and he did not even find a shadow.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must uphold justice. ”

Bernard looked angrily at Ransil and Ranmir next to him: "You must not chill the heart of a family loyal to the kingdom because of these two villains." ”

"Bernard, you. You ......" Ransil and Ranmir didn't know what to say.

Clyde stood up abruptly and looked at Bernard coldly: "I said, I will not wronged a good person, nor will I let go of a person who betrays the interests of the kingdom. According to the evidence I have found, at least your Debs family is suspected of betraying the kingdom, and someone is coming-"

Bernard's face couldn't help but change: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am loyal to the kingdom!"

At this moment, two palace guards rushed in from outside the council chamber.

"Bernard. Clyde looked at Bernard with a smile.

Bernard looked up at Clyde expectantly, like a child looking at his parents.

"Is your family loyal? The evidence needs to speak. I'll give you a chance, at least I'm not going to kill you now. ”

Bernard breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and what he was most worried about was that the Debs family would be wiped out directly. "Fortunately, in the secret room that day, I found traces of the burning corpse. Prepared me. Bernard had been preparing since that day, even a few times.

"Someone came, and put Bernard and the heirs of the Debs family in Blackwater. As for the Debs family's smuggling case, let the right minister Merritt investigate. Clyde gave the order.

Immediately the palace guards. He threw Bernard into custody.

"Your Majesty, I believe Your Majesty is wise. When Bernard was escorted out, he shouted at Clyde.

On this night, the green leaf road was completely noisy.

The sound of horses' hooves and shouts continued to sound, and a team of hundreds of knights directly surrounded the Debs family's mansion, causing everyone in the Debs family to panic.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, do you know what this place is?" said Karan's second grandfather, who was Bernard's second uncle, at the palace guards.

One of the knights at the head said coldly: "Your Majesty's order, you dare to resist it?"

The second grandfather held his head high. Who knows if you are falsely passing on Your Majesty's order, saying, what are you here for?"

"Second grandfather, what's wrong outside?"

At this time, many members of the Debs family poured over.

Even Alice and Rowling got dressed and came over. In the Magnolia continent, after getting engaged, the woman will live with the man. It's just that it is generally not until after the official wedding that the man and woman will have sex together.

Of course......

There are also people who have sex before marriage, and it depends on the wishes of both men and women.

"Sister Alice. What's going on out there?" Rowling took Alice's hand.

Alice was also a little confused: "I don't know. ”

The entire Debs family, hundreds of people inside and outside poured into the front yard, and most of them had bewildered faces on their faces. Only the core, the few who knew about the family's smuggling, were horrified.

The scale of the Debs family's smuggling is very large.

Tens of millions of gold coins alone were used. Once successful, the profit is hundreds of millions of gold coins. According to the Debs family's idea, earning once is enough.

I didn't expect something to go wrong this time.

"Brother Karan, what's going on?" Rowling asked Karan as well.

Karan also shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.

The knight team from the palace had already assembled outside, and the leader of the knight squadron saw that so many people had gathered, so he took out a token from his bosom and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, the Debs family is suspected of smuggling water jade ore, and now, the patriarch and heir of the Debs family will be arrested and put in the Blackwater Prison." ”

Suddenly, the faces of a group of people in the Debs family changed.

In particular, several people in the core of the family such as Karan were even more pale, while Alice, Rowling, and the people on the side of the family were all confused and stunned.

Several guards grabbed Karan directly.

"Take it away!"

The Knight Squadron Leader shouted directly.

Karan felt his legs go limp, and he just let the guards escort him towards the door. But when he walked to the door, Karan suddenly woke up, turned around and shouted anxiously: "Second grandfather, Alice, you must save me, you must save me." ”

No matter how Karan shouted, the palace guards still ruthlessly escorted him to the prison car.

Alice, Rowling, and the entire Debs family could only watch as Karan was taken away, but nothing could be done. Their family is powerful, but how can they compete with His Majesty the King?

The next morning, the news of the Debs family's suspicion of smuggling water jade ore quickly spread throughout the nobles of Finlay City***, and most of the nobles in the entire Finlay City paid attention to this matter.

And this smuggling case was personally examined by the right minister of the kingdom, Lord Merritt.

The residence of Lord Merritt.

Lord Merritt is over seventy years old, but he is a relatively good fighter. Just looking at the appearance of a middle-aged person, the short blonde hair is even more vertical and shiny.

At this moment, Merrit was sitting in her chair, and casually glanced at the person from the Debs family who was sitting next to her, Nimitzmitz, the second grandfather of Karan, who had taught her.

"Lord Merritt, our family is absolutely wronged, I hope you can give our Debs family a fair one. ”

Nimitz said, taking out a book from the side: "Lord Merritt, I know you like to collect Bibles, my book was released by the Holy See of Light more than three thousand years ago, and it is still relatively rare. ”

"Oh, the Bible?"

Merritt took it casually, but when she flipped through it, Merritt suddenly found that there was a kind of card mixed in it, the magic crystal card issued by the Four Nations Gold Bank!

There was a smile on Merritt's face.

Nimitz carefully observed Merit's expression, Meritt closed the Bible, put it aside, and then smiled: "Nimitz, you should know that in addition to the Bible, I also like stone carvings, and I love stone carvings very much when I woke up some time ago." I saw Alice at your family's engagement ceremony, and oh, that Alice is exactly the same as the stone carving. I don't know...... Can you let me talk to Alice alone? ”
