Chapter 56: Digging a Pit

The sun rose as usual, and after two days of precipitation, the citizens of Benin returned to their normal working life.

The most talked about by pedestrians on the commercial street always revolves around two key words -

Castle Lord, kidnapping.

"I was working overtime at the company that night, and there was a loud bang that shook the whole building. At the time, I thought it was an earthquake, but it wasn't until later that I heard from others that someone had blown up the Castle Lord's Mansion......"

"I heard that the group also kidnapped the children of the lord of the castle... God kills, the city lord is so kind and honest that a person dares to do it, isn't he afraid of being punished by the goddess? ”

“...... Probity? How do I remember that the castle lord's mansion seems to be very large..."

"Hmph, what's wrong with a bigger mansion, which official and nobleman's house is not big? Which of the other officials didn't go to the nightclub after work? I heard that some nobles also kept a group of subhuman slaves privately... Phew, shameless! ”

"That's true, at least I haven't met the city lord in the night hall until now, but the other officials have seen a lot..."

"Oh, which nightclub? I'll take a look after work..."

......

Putting aside the rest of the words, at least in the eyes of most citizens, this young city lord who is less than 30 years old has a pretty good reputation.

So much so that after hearing that the castle lord's mansion had been attacked and the castle lord's son had been kidnapped, the citizens were indignant and discussing who had done such a bad thing.

The various media studios in Benin City will naturally not let go of such a heat, and for a while, various articles and videos speculating on the murderer appeared on the Internet in an endless stream, attracting countless clicks and readings.

Of course, these articles are almost all conjectures that catch the wind and have no empirical evidence, and netizens have eaten "melons" for two days, and their enthusiasm has gradually faded.

So, it was the turn of these media people to get anxious, and they were like hungry wolves looking around, trying to find the latest information.

However, the city lord had an order, strictly prohibiting officials and police stations from leaking any news, and even the half-destroyed city lord's mansion was blocked, and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition were guarding it every day, which was impenetrable.

If official channels don't work, we can only collect information through the private sector.

However, the police officers who participated in the rescue operation that night were ordered to be silenced. Most of the information obtained from the citizens was false, and even if there were people who were on the street that night, it was later confirmed that it was a few streets away from the city lord's mansion, and the real information that could be extracted was pitiful.

As for the Red Dragon Knights who participated in the battle that night, no one dared to provoke ......

But just as they were worried about the content of the new issue, an anonymous intelligence letter was simultaneously posted to all the media studios in Benin City.

Lynn's studio is one of them.

She was a native resident of the Creel Empire and one of the first people to join the online media industry under the Empire's strong push for the Augur Network.

As the first person to eat crabs, Lynn's studio "Hot Spotter" rose with the influx of Augur's network, and soon became the top online media in Benin, and now the platform has about 10,000 regular users for each article.

And Lynn herself also knows that in the follow-up online media that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, now, if you want to stabilize your position, you must have your own "characteristics".

The characteristics of "hot spot pursuit" are rigorous and truthful.

Therefore, even two days before the various conspiracy theory articles on the Internet exploded, Lynn's platform maintained a wait-and-see attitude and did not post a single article about the attack on the City Lord's Mansion.

Until this morning, she found the anonymous letter in the platform's mailbox.

There were no photos in the email, only text, but the caption gave Lynn an adrenaline rush -

"The murderer who attacked the City Lord's Mansion is related to a certain Ancient God Order!"

Murderer, Order of the Old Gods!

As an experienced news media practitioner, Lynn instantly judged that the value of this email was extremely high, and it might even go viral throughout Shuztalia.

So she took a deep breath and clicked on the email.

The text is long and detailed.

The contributor claimed to be a Warcraft hunter who had stumbled upon a cave while hunting Warcraft in the forest not long ago.

The cave is home to a number of mysterious men dressed in black robes, who are known to be followers of the Order of the Old Gods Elsdaq, and who seem to be planning an attack on Benin City.

The contributor thought they were just joking, so he didn't take it to heart until he learned in the forest a few days ago that the Castle Lord's Mansion had really been attacked......

Seeing this, Lynn couldn't help frowning.

There was no such coincidence in this world, she thought it might just be a random article.

However, the contributor's writing is quite good, and the plot is very fascinating, so she can't help but read along.

After learning that the City Lord's Mansion had been attacked, the contributor immediately remembered what happened in the cave.

He took advantage of the night to sneak into the cave, only to find that the group of black-robed people had already left, leaving only two maids who were tied up and suspected to be the city lord's mansion......

Knock knock

A quick knock on the door interrupted Lynn, who was already obsessed with the plot, and she stood up dissatisfiedly and was about to open the door, but the anxious voice of the reporter came from outside the door first-

"Editor-in-chief, the latest news - the two maids who were kidnapped from the City Lord's Mansion have returned to Benin City, and it was two police officers who rescued them!"

"What did you say!?" Lynn slammed the door open, her eyes wide.

"Really, really! Now the two officers have returned to the police station with the maid, and it is said that they found them in a cave in the forest - editor-in-chief, let's publish the article quickly, so as not to be preempted by others... Editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief? ”

The reporter was surprised to find that the editor-in-chief, who has always been shrewd and capable, stood there in a daze at this time, as if it was a wood carving.

"You say... Found in a cave in the forest? ”

——————————

"Found in a cave, of course."

Su Ye sat on the sofa and drank black tea comfortably.

Julia sat next to him, quietly listening to the rest of the story.

"Then they will also discover that the cave hides many evil secrets of the Elstark Order, including the use of human sacrifices, the creation of magical beasts, etc..."

And that cave was the stronghold of the Elsdaq Order that Su Ye and Julia had destroyed earlier.

In order to prevent the people of the Order from destroying the evidence, he had already stationed Li Yueru and Okhla and them there in advance, and pretended to be a disciple of Elstark, and the young master of the City Lord's Mansion was also there.

When the subsequent search and rescue team arrives, they will be attacked, and then they are surprised to find that the son of the city lord is actually a member of the Elstaq Order.

And all this turned out to be a conspiracy directed and acted by the city lord himself!

At that time, the city lord fell into the crotch of his pants with yellow mud, and it was not that or that.

Framed?

That's right, it's a frame-up!

Su Ye just wanted to dig a big pit and bury the city lord and the Elstark Order who wanted to harm him into the pit!
