Chapter 44: Action
The remains of the three princes were transported back to China by the Cram Empire for burial, and the ambassador of the Crumb Empire in front of Donovan could only leave with an unwilling face.

However, Lawrence, the magistrate of Dragon Blood City, was a little nervous today, Princess Yulong, who had just been appointed as the prince by Emperor Yuheng, suddenly wanted to summon her, thinking that she didn't just want to meet the sheriff.
This made Lawrence secretly think about the security situation in Dragon Blood City, there have been no vicious incidents in Dragon Blood City recently, and Princess Yulong will not be angry about some petty theft, so there is only the killing of the third prince of Cram.
But the responsibility for this matter is not on me, and even Emperor Yuheng has no intention of blaming me.
Just when Lawrence was puzzled, the person had already walked to the door of the palace where Yulong was, and Lawrence hurriedly wiped off the little sweat on his forehead, and straightened the corners and neckline of his clothes, and then walked into the hall.
Yulong was standing in the top position, Lawrence hurriedly walked to the position nine steps in front of Yulong, touched his chest with one hand, and knelt down on one knee,
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Yulong is a little strange, although he has been set up as the prince, but because the Shenlong royal family has always been more generous, so there are no too strict rules, so that no one in the entire Longxiao Palace will call Yulong "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince", basically according to the previous habit of calling Princess Yulong.
looked at Lawrence kneeling in front of him with a smile, but there was no smile in Yulong's eyes, it was the sheriff in front of him who concealed and did not report it, which almost plunged the Shenlong Empire into a catastrophe.
"Lord Lawrence really lives up to his reputation, no wonder he has been in the position of sheriff of the imperial capital for so many years. ”
Yulong's soft tone made Lawrence completely unaware that he was in a catastrophe, but he felt a little happy in his heart, it seems that this time Yulong summoned him not only did not have anything bad, maybe there was something good!
"His Royal Highness praises falsely, but he is just conscientious and trying to do his job well. Thanks to His Majesty's refusal to give up, he has been in this position for so many years. ”
At this time, Lawrence raised his head that had been lowered before, and when he looked at the emotionless eyes of Shang Yulong, his heart suddenly "chuckled", and he had some bad premonitions.
"Your Excellency must have made a lot of money over the years!"
The blood on Lawrence's face suddenly receded, and his whole face turned pale like white paper, and he didn't expect Yulong to cut him.
With a "poof", Lawrence's other leg also touched the ground firmly,
"Your Highness, this is all slander by villains! I have been ...... all these years"
Yulong naturally didn't want to listen to Lawrence's defense, if she really wanted to talk about it, calling Lawrence over today and removing him from his position was just a incidental thing, how could Yulong care about what Lawrence said at the moment.
"Oh yes, and do you remember what happened inside the Talos pawnshop recently?"
Yulong's words were like a thunderclap, instantly interrupting Lawrence's ridiculous act of loyalty, how could he forget the terrible sight he had seen that day, the young man in the pawn shop was even more terrifying than a patient with a sheep seizure......
"It doesn't matter if you say it or not, at most it's just death. ”
Yulong's faint words came into Lawrence's ears, and it scared the old man who was nearly fifty years old a lot, and Lawrence was naturally not an incorruptible official.
But as the magistrate of the imperial capital, he is just a good old man who is caught in a dilemma between a large group of nobles, what can he do except collect some favor fees to wipe the butts of these nobles? Lawrence never thought that this would save his life!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, save me, I really don't know anything! The Countess of Austin took the young man away and told me to keep quiet, I really don't know anything!"
After a long while, the hall was able to regain its calm, and Lawrence, who had already fainted from crying, was sent by Yulong to bring it to Emperor Yuheng, but he didn't expect that just to scare this guy, he said everything, and he couldn't stop it.
In addition to the thing that Yulong wanted to know, all kinds of messy things in the imperial capital for so many years have also been turned over by Lawrence, thanks to this old man who is so old and has such a good memory, if only that, it would be okay, there are still some things that involve the royal family!
So when Alan came out from behind the curtain, his mood was also quite complicated. He wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh, although Alan could guarantee that no one in the Longxiao Palace could kill his mouth, but it was not a good thing to make a big fuss.
"Ahem, I didn't hear anything. ”
"That's the best!"
Looking at the anger and shame on Yulong's face, Alan was sure that the "upright" Sheriff Lawrence would not be too happy in his later years.
"By the way, who is that Earl of Austin, and is that young man his son?"
Hearing Allen's question, Yulong's face became even more strange, she deliberately turned her head away, and then said: "Earl Austin has no heirs, and his lady is still very 'famous' in the imperial capital. ”
Obviously, it seems that the drug-addicted young man is the face of this "famous" Countess of Austin, or a lover, I have to say that the word "real mess" in your circle is really quite quintessence.
Alan laughed a few times, and there was no follow-up, after all, he was also a great nobleman of the Divine Dragon Empire, and it was not a wise choice to evaluate it casually.
"Alright, let's go to the Earl of Austin's mansion. ”
"Go directly?" Alan looked very surprised, Yulong actually adopted such a direct approach, is he really not afraid of startling the snake at all?
"Otherwise?" Yulong glanced at Alan a little strangely, and quickly understood what he was worried about, so he showed a somewhat disdainful smile,
"Don't worry, that countess is not so bold, she is just a corrupt nobleman who pursues excitement, and we won't leak the news if we go directly. ”
"Okay, of course your territory is up to you. ”
Since Yulong is so sure, Alan naturally won't raise any objections without interest, but he still can't help asking: "What about the Earl of Austin, is he okay?"
"There will be no problem, the Earl of Austin is definitely not in the mansion now. After saying that, Yulong walked forward, Alan hurriedly followed her, and when she reached the door of a room, Yulong turned her head,
"Do you want to follow me when I change my clothes?"
This is definitely deliberate! Allen was quite disdainful of Yulong's approach in his heart, and after muttering a few words secretly, he returned to the hall where the two of them were just now, quietly waiting for Yulong to finish changing clothes.
