Chapter 357: Investigation

When Wu Feng and Lan Jing returned to the palace and met Constantine XV, they met an old eunuch head-on by the royal road in the palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This old eunuch is called Xu Yan, a yellow-skinned man, and he is the chief eunuch in the palace.

There are not many pure-blooded yellow-skinned people who can have such a high status in the West, and the Fair family only has some yellow-skinned blood.

However, this kind of status, ordinary men probably don't want - after all, repairing the lower body that has been castrated for a long time is something that only a saint-level master can do, and a half-saint master can only repair it when it has just been damaged and destroyed.

"Good evening, Lord Leach. Good evening, Special Envoy Tian Chang. Xu Yan said in a gloomy voice.

Leach, is the surname of Aquamarine.

"Mr. Xu. Lan Jing smiled elegantly: "The situation in the palace has been quite quiet recently, right?"

Constantine XV had several sons, but only one was born to the empress, and if the "snakehead" held the crown prince hostage, I am afraid the situation will be very troublesome.

At the beginning, Constantine XIV tried to abolish the concubine and set up the third son born to the concubine as the crown prince, which seriously violated the ancestral system and caused great opposition, which is also an important reason why Constantine XV was able to calm down the domestic situation after the coup d'Γ©tat and killed his father.

"Quiet, there is an old body, how can it not be quiet. Xu Yan's voice was shrill and gloomy and old: "But outside the palace, it's not very peaceful." ”

Blue Crystal sighed, "yes." ”

The incident of Mrs. Qingshi caused serious turmoil in people's hearts, and Junbao, which had a population of more than 600,000 and about 100,000 militia and soldiers, began to become chaotic.

This chaos gave restless people a chance to take revenge, and assassinations took place in many parts of the city, and decomposing corpses were often found at the corners of the walls and at the ends of alleys, often of no lower status.

There was even an earl in his own home, who was brutally destroyed by the assassination organization.

The more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities the "snakeheads" have to mobilize, which is a vicious circle, which is why Scurry has to constantly hit the morale of the Byzantines.

"The old body went to get busy first. Prime Minister, farewell. After saying a few words, Xu Yan said lukewarmly.

For this old eunuch who seemed to have a bad temper, Lan Jing didn't seem to have any antipathy.

He has always been very gentlemanly.

But Wu Feng was vigilant.

Maybe it was just a hunch, he thought this old eunuch was weird.

"Speaking of assassinations...... The Eagle's Nest that attacked me that night, and I suspect they've taken refuge in Scurry. Wu Feng lowered his voice and said to Lan Jing: "Prime Minister, do you think that some of these assassinations in the city are committed by them?"

Lan Jing thought for a moment: "The case of the Count Lance's family should not be, you once told us about the style of those assassins' moves. Judging from the traces left by the Lance family, it could not be the eagle's nest, it should be some other assassin organization. ”

"It's getting messy. Wu Feng said.

"Chaos, is the layout style of the strong military god, it is difficult for us to find a clue. Lan Jing sighed: "His Majesty Bogard has already warned us, but unfortunately we are still careless, if we had prevented Scurry's 'Thousand Sails Across the Sea' from the beginning, how could we have come to this point?"

"There is no regret medicine in the world. Wu Feng shook his head and said, "Since you have reached this point, you can only do your best." ”

There is still determination in the words.

When the two finally arrived before Constantine XV, Blue Crystal informed Patriarch of Patriarch Cade's serious suspicions.

"At that time, the Marquis of Brady said that the head of the snake is likely to be among the five of us......" Lan Jing sighed: "I hope it is not His Royal Highness the Patriarch......"

Constantine XV's face was cold.

"Cade...... Because he can't be above me, he has a different heart?"

He was the one who had killed his father with his own hands, and he was a brave general on the battlefield, he was slightly angry at the moment, and his eyes were fierce.

"When it is not yet decided, I hope that Your Majesty will not get angry easily. Blue Crystal said calmly.

Constantine XV pursed his lips and calmed his emotions.

"Azurite, you're right. It's me who is impatient. ”

He had the same bad temper as his father, but he was by no means a monarch who refused to admonish, otherwise he would not have been able to kill his father at the age of twenty and take the throne, and quickly stabilize the great country that his father had beaten down.

"Your Majesty is wise. Azurite praised it very appropriately.

"So, Azurite...... Mobilize the dark threads we have buried in the church and start investigating. ”

If it were a normal time, maybe Constantine XV would have said decisively: "It is better to kill the wrong person than to let it go." ”

But in the current situation, as long as you kill the wrong person, you may weaken your own strength, and cause greater turmoil, becoming a relative and an enemy.

In the face of Scurry, the Byzantines have already made too many mistakes to tolerate more!

Wechen obeyed. Blue Crystal bowed slightly, put her left hand on her chest, and said.

"By the way, has the investigation of the case of the Count of Reims's family been investigated?" Constantine XV asked again, "Is it the same group of people as the so-called Eagle's Nest organization that attacked Tian Chang's envoy?"

Unexpectedly, Constantine XV also paid attention to this matter.

However, it is not surprising that it is not a trivial matter that an imperial earl was wiped out in the imperial capital. Even if it is a personal vendetta, it is a serious violation of national law and shakes people's hearts.

Weichen didn't dare to speculate at will. Lan Jing said: "But--Dark Feng is very suspicious." ”

Constantine XV was stunned: "Dark Edge?"

This is a very famous killer organization in Byzantium, but no one knows where their headquarters are or what their organization consists of.

Lan Jing nodded: "Dark Feng has been destroying the law of the country for so many years and acting recklessly, but we have never been able to catch them. ”

"The so-called Eagle's Nest, after all, came from the Persian side, and has no local roots, even if they take refuge in Scurry, they don't have to worry too much. But if the Dark Blade organization is also colluding with Scurry under the lead of the snakehead, then the trouble is really big. ”

Constantine XV's face changed suddenly.

"Quick lookup. Neither Cade's suspicions, nor the affairs of Dark Front, can be left behind - Aquamarine, do your best!"

The prime minister of the empire, the most trusted minister of Constantine XV, knelt down on one leg and said solemnly: "Receiving the great favor of Your Majesty, the minister will do his best to repay him with death!"

is worthy of the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, this conversation showed twelve points of shrewdness and ability, and Wu Feng also nodded secretly.

Constantine XV smiled and helped him up: "Under the crisis, it is more and more impossible to say death. As long as Scurry's attack is repelled and he is inflicted heavy losses in pursuit, and with the cooperation of Bogard, perhaps within five years, the siege net will be able to dry his family's heads and hang them above the city gates. ”

"It's a good idea. Blue crystal applauded.

Wu Feng was on the side, but he thought to himself inexplicably.

Scurry is so powerful that he is surrounded by all sides to fight together.

And what happens when you become stronger?

If you really embark on the path of the Demon King, I'm afraid that more people will want to cut off their heads and hang them on the city gate!

Thinking of this, Wu Feng had a pride in his heart that he would never admit defeat.

All the people in the world, watch. This time it must thwart Curry, and it's just the beginning.

......

A week later.

The Epidox Church brought back a number of secret letters.

He copied it from memory, and the original is still in the church.

The specific content is roughly that Cade and Scurry have made a secret agreement that they will try their best to mobilize the power of the Orthodox Church and wait for the opportunity to dedicate the city.

Scurry wanted the whole of Byzantium, not just one Constantinople, so after conquering Byzantium, he would give the castle and the surrounding area to Cayde, who would establish the Papal State.

The specific details are all clear.

Azurite was shocked.

"Is it really Cade? Is his ambition really so big?"

The meticulous artist was extremely loyal and sophisticated, and there was nothing wrong with the secret letter that was copied back.

What's more, there is not just one secret letter, but the letter that Scurry sent to Cade, and the manuscript of the letter that Cade sent to Scurry.

At this time, Wu Feng opened his mouth.

"Mr. Hosaku, where did you find that?"

"Archives. The secret archives of the Orthodox Church. The thin man replied, "I mobilized the other 'shadows' to work together to find these things in various locations in the archives. ”

"Secret Archives?"

"Yes, the most secret archives of the Orthodox Church, the existence of which is unknown to the periphery. ”

"Even so. Wu Feng suddenly spoke: "I also think it's too much of a coincidence." If Cade really was a snakehead, he wouldn't have acted so imprecianeously. ”

Azurite lowered her head and groaned, "Indeed, Scurry is fully capable of forging these secret letters......"

"If we can find these secret letters, then the smuggler will also have the ability to put the secret letters in the archives. Wu Feng said: "I don't rule out the possibility of planting blame." (To be continued.) )
