Chapter XXXVII: The Coming Investigation
I don't know how long it took, Mira was awakened by a loud noise, and then saw several big men like wolves and tigers breaking in, and the leading jailer shouted: "You kid is lucky, the investigation envoy from the imperial capital is the first to interrogate you, hurry up and go out with me."

Mira rubbed her face, pointed to Singh's corpse and said, "But, he's dead." ā
"It's none of my business whether he dies or not, as long as you're not dead, get up. ā
Mira's face showed a kind of stubbornness: "No, it's not good to bury him alive, I won't go anywhere." ā
The jailer was furious and raised his stick high, and Mira glanced at him and ignored him. The jailer was silent for a while, then pointed at Singh and said, "You guys, drag him out to feed the dogs." ā
Mira's eyes almost burst into flames: "Hey dog, he's a human being, he deserves the dignity of a person, even if he dies, he must have the dignity of dying." ā
"Then what do you want? I'll kowtow to him three more times?"
Mira paused: "You should at least, at least dig a hole and bury him." He lowered his head, not wanting the jailer to see the tears in his eyes.
After some tossing, the angry jailer led Mira into a large golden room, where a large desk was covered with velvet tablecloths, and a nobleman with red curly hair and a red embroidered robe was sitting behind the desk, writing hard, and several people who looked like guards were standing beside him.
After finishing the paperwork, the nobleman waved his hand and kicked the jailer out, and then said to Mira amicably: "You are Mira, I am the commissioner sent by the imperial capital to investigate this desert expedition and the battle of the ferry, you can call me Viscount Winleyton." ā
Mira looked at him dumbfoundedly, not knowing what to say.
Winlayton suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, why do you have so much straw on your body? And blood and dirt? Are they abusing you? I want to tell His Majesty the Emperor to hang all these prisoners who have bullied the prisoners." ā
Mira still looked at him stupidly, not knowing what to say.
Winlayton glanced at the official document on the table, then looked into Mira's eyes and said, "Lord Kempinski said that you colluded with sand thieves to summon the undead, causing the army to be defeated. However, from his report, I have seen some problems, so I have asked you for verification. Tell me, is what he said true?"
Mira's breathing suddenly became rapid, and countless thoughts quickly turned to her mind, whether to immediately refute and ask for her own life, or to admit it for the sake of Tracey's safety?
Perhaps seeing his hesitation, Winlayton stepped forward and said softly: "I am the special envoy of His Majesty the Emperor, and I can remove Kempinski from all his duties at any time, and I can ensure the safety of you and your family, so you can just answer truthfully." Now, tell me, is it true?"
Mira was about to speak, when he heard the spike ghost shout in his head, "Something is not right, that Kempinski is in this room." ā
Mira was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, the suffocator also spoke: "Yes, I also caught Kempinski's brainwaves, they are planning to frame you." ā
Seeing Mira's stunned appearance, Winlayton smiled at the corner of his mouth and asked again: "Tell me, is it true?"
Mira looked up suddenly: "Yes, it's true, I did it." ā
Now it was Winleyton's turn to be stunned, and his face stiffened: "You speak, are you afraid of Kempinski's revenge, aren't you? You are afraid of him, aren't you afraid of me?" He suddenly said in a voice as soft as the wind: "I said that I would protect you, what are you worried about? Tell me the truth." ā
No matter what Winlayton tried to induce, Mira was adamant that this was the truth, and finally, Kempinski's happy laughter rang out in the room. He pushed open the secret door and walked out, laughing and walking up to Mira and saying, "Yes, you are good, I admire you." ā
As soon as Wen Laiton saw Kempinski, the original noble and elegant immediately changed to a flattery, he bent down and smiled: "Your Excellency's plan is very good, this person should have been frightened, no matter what, he would not dare to pour dirty water on his body." ā
Kempinski didn't have a good face for him: "Okay, it's none of your business here, go out and find the housekeeper to get the money, get out of here." Wen Laiton couldn't stop thanking him, and went away laughing.
Kempinski looked at Mila again and again, he couldn't hide the pride in his heart, patted Mila on the shoulder and smiled: "You are very good, I have to reward you, say, what do you want?"
Mira thought for a moment and asked, "Can you let me go?"
Kempinski's laughter suddenly stopped, and he stared at Mira as if he had seen a fool, but soon he laughed again: "This is not good, haha, where will I find a scapegoat after I let you go?" But I can tell them to make you a beautiful dress, so that you can dress up decently to go to the execution ground, and, after you die, I will definitely give you a grand funeral to express my sorrows, hahaha." ā
Back on death row, Mira sat on the straw and felt like she was on the verge of collapse. If he had accidentally said something that Kempinski didn't want to hear, I really can't imagine what he would do to himself.
After gasping for a while, he whispered, "Thank you, if it weren't for your help this time, I would have fallen for that old fox." ā
The wooden nail ghost laughed: "What is there to thank for, now we are still living with you, if you plant it, we will also be unlucky." ā
For the next few days, Mira spent the days in fear, fearing that Kempinski would come up with something else. Unbeknownst to him, Kempinski had no energy to take care of him anymore, and that both the people from the Holy See and the Imperial Capital had arrived in Stilwell, and the Lord was doing everything he could to arrange a grand reception.
The first to enter was the Governor of the province of Stidi, Lord Earl Goodwin, who had been uninhibited and indulgent in his love of freedom, and after handing over the affairs of the territory to his brother-in-law Kempinski, he plunged headlong into the imperial capital Fengyue and did not want to return. However, this time there was such a big incident, and it is said that he himself was scolded by the emperor and had to come back to deal with the aftermath.
Then came the envoy sent by the imperial capital to investigate and supervise the matter, Lord Marquis Ryric, he is the cousin of His Majesty the Emperor, and one of the emperor's closest favorite ministers, in order to support him and save face, the emperor also sent him three royal family to serve as guards, that is, the Wind Sword Saint, the Burning Sun Sword Saint and the Quentin Magus who have been following him.
Kempinski hurriedly greeted him and led the Marquis of Ryric to the aristocratic living room to wait for the ball to begin, while the three royal offerings were greeted by a lady in a floor-length dress. However, the three of them did not feel rude, but respected the lady. Everyone recognizes that this is the only local sword saint in Sidi Province - Mingyue Sword Saint, although he is now old and only stays at home to open an apprenticeship, but when he was young, he really set off a bloody storm, it can be said that although she is no longer in the rivers and lakes, there are still her legends in the rivers and lakes.
Marquis Ryric was accompanied by a thin man dressed in black, and the Marquis only briefly introduced him as a member of the Mercenary Guild and ignored him, so the others almost ignored him as an ornament. The elder of the mercenary guild, the great thief Lizaram grinned and picked up a bunch of grapes from the fruit bowl, and secretly slipped himself into the shadows under the curtain, quietly observing the various guests at the ball.
This time, the branch of Stilwell City and the city lord had such a stalemate, which he never expected, and in the communication between the president and the Holy Bein Emperor, it was found that His Majesty the Emperor was not very willing to see such a thing happen. After all, if Doro, the king of mercenaries who traveled the world, knew about this, no one knew how he would react, and if he got angry, oh my God, the entire imperial capital would tremble in despair.
After urgent negotiations between the president of the guild and the emperor, it was decided to send the great thief Lizaram to investigate the truth of the matter in a low-key manner, and even the Marquis of Ryrik did not know his identity, only believed that he was an accountant appointed by the emperor. As he was leaving, the Emperor said to Lizaram that the friendship and cooperation between the Holy Bein Empire and the Mercenary Guild had a long history, and that the relationship between the two sides should not be affected by a handful of saboteurs with ulterior motives, and that if the Kempinski Lord was still so ignorant of current affairs, then assassinate him.
As the trumpet sounded again, the people of the Holy See finally arrived.
At the front was Archbishop Philip, one of the twelve cardinals, wearing a purple crown and a red robe, nodding cordially to everyone who welcomed her. Behind her, Bishop Dachi and Bishop Lyudmila were on the left and right, and Lyudmila was followed by a beautiful female disciple, who was said to be one of the strong candidates for this year's selection of saints.
Then came a warrior in golden armor, covered in knotted muscles and muscles, and his chest and abdomen were deliberately exposed to reveal complete eight-pack abs, which caused many noble ladies to scream. Through the introduction of the master of ceremonies, everyone knows that this is the fist of the seven bright warriors of the temple, a pair of iron fists can open mountains and crack stones, once in the orc wasteland to kill the golden retriever Beamon, killing the orcs are all afraid, hearing the name of the fist, the child does not dare to cry at night.
Everyone was amazed, and outside the door walked a young man in white clothes Shengxue, with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, who looked like a Chinese person in the Chinese street of the imperial capital. After the master of ceremonies explained, everyone knew that he was not from Huaguo, but from Fusang Kingdom, which was even farther away than Huaguo, and was a descendant disciple of the Yanagi Sword Sect, who crossed the ocean to the temple to learn the Tao and became the immortal sword among the seven bright warriors. The name of the sword is immortal, but everyone he has seen is dead, and he is an extremely mysterious and terrifying guy.
