Chapter 3 The Hidden Inside of the Castle
Having unexpectedly gained more than a thousand believers and getting a piece of land from Yin Leia, Li Yu's work was saturated at once.
The land near the swamp had been burned and looted by the lizardmen before, and now it was almost in ruins, so to speak, a hundred ruins.
Before leaving, Li Yu told the lizardmen that they would spend the next two days to clean up the top, demolish the destroyed buildings, collect the corpses on the ground, and send someone to receive them.
The land that Yin Leia gave to Li Yu was a merger of the knights of Trinidad and the knights of the Purple Finch, and there were originally about one or two hundred peasant families living on these two estates.
Now most of these people have died at the hands of the lizardmen, and a few lucky ones are left to barely survive, but they must not want to live with these horrific murderers who killed their relatives and neighbors anymore, and they have run away with buckets.
However, the vacant houses were still not enough for so many lizardmen to live in, and some of the houses were destroyed in the war, so Li Yu entrusted Yago, the new governor of Teacup Castle, to help buy a hundred tents and five hundred blankets, spending a total of one hundred and twelve gold coins.
It can be regarded as a temporary solution to the problem of the lizard people's residence, as for the food, the food they grabbed this time, plus the one brought out from the swamp, should be able to last for a while, Li Yu didn't care.
Before he starts to build his territory, he still has one more thing to solve, which is to help Yin Leia find the inner response lurking in the castle.
The last time Li Yu left, he promised to deal with the matter within three days.
And counting the two days after he left, in fact, it means that Li Yu will find out the person today.
The news quickly spread through the castle, and the atmosphere inside the castle became tense.
Many people subconsciously avoided Li Yu when they saw him, from the nobles to the servants, and they were afraid of having something to do with Nei Ying.
And Li Yu went to visit Fausto, the former head of Teacup Fort early in the morning, who is now Yin Leia's advisor.
The two talked for about an hour in Fausto's bedroom.
In addition to Yin Leia's own house, the room where Yin Leia handled government affairs belonged to Fausto the most.
On the day of the incident, Fausto was also the first to be suspected and placed under house arrest, because it was very easy for him to throw a note while Yin Leia was unprepared.
Just when everyone thought that the former manager of Teacup Castle was about to finish, Li Yu walked out of Fausto's room again, and Fausto sent him all the way to the door, and the two of them looked very calm.
After that, Li Yu turned to find Miss Rabbit's great-grandmother, Orna, the highest-ranking member of the Arias family.
However, Ona is different from Fausto, no matter how important and powerful he is in the castle, he is always in the service of the Arias family.
But Ona is a member of the family, and he is also the elder of everyone, and he is one of the owners of this castle, even Yin Leia, the head of the Arias family now, has to be respectful when he sees his great-grandmother.
Many people think that Li Yu is estimated to be kicked to the iron plate this time, and with the old lady's temper, Li Yu is likely to eat a closed door.
But to everyone's surprise, Ao Na met Li Yu very happily, and the two chatted for about half an hour, and Li Yu said goodbye and left again.
Then he went to see Alyssa............ In the morning, Li Yu basically visited around and talked to people.
However, there have been many rounds of similar inquiries since the incident. Except for Oona, almost everyone in the castle has been questioned, but they still haven't been able to find the one.
As a result, some people began to wonder if this black-clad foreigner could fulfill his promise.
And when it was time for lunch, Li Yu secretly glanced at Jude.
The latter understood, and after eating, he avoided the attention of others and quietly entered Li Yu's room.
"What are you looking for me?"
Regardless of whether the owner agrees or not, Jude sat down on Li Yu's bed, reached out and grabbed the feather mattress below, and sighed, "The aristocratic things are good, much more comfortable than the sheepskin blanket in my house, and I will buy a cool set when I turn around." ”
After a pause, he looked at Li Yu again, "Let's talk about it first, we are familiar with each other, but the rules can't be broken, and you have to pay for me to do things." ”
Li Yu nodded, "I've found Neiying, and I need you to help me catch him." ”
"There are so many people in the castle who can use it, why did they come to me?" Jude didn't immediately agree, but asked rhetorically.
"Because that person's identity is more special."
"Special, how special?"
"Nai should be Thomas, the servant of the Alfred Knight." Li Yu didn't hide it either.
Jude was stunned, "This ...... How could this be, he had captured the teacup castle with Alfred, and if he had been an insider, he would have only opened the gates while Alfred was resting, and now sitting in this castle was the stepmother of the rabbit who slammed the door. ”
"It's unbelievable, but it's just the way it is."
"How do you know, it's your god, what told you on Saturday?" Jude wondered.
Li Yu didn't answer this question, but said, "If I use normal means to catch Thomas, Alfred will definitely obstruct it, so I plan to take him down first and ask him why he is a traitor, so that even if Alfred knows about it afterwards, he will have nothing to say when he comes over, which is why I came to you." ”
Jude's eyes rolled as if to ponder the pros and cons, and after a moment he spoke again.
"Although Thomas looks ordinary, he is actually a good martial artist, and Alfred is his teacher, and he has a solid foundation in swordsmanship."
"That's why I'm looking for you."
"And Alfred is now in charge of the daily security of the castle, and the guards in the castle are all at his disposal, once I do something to Thomas and Alfred finds out, then he will probably mobilize the entire castle to deal with me."
"Are you scared?"
"No, I mean you have to add money." Jude grinned.
"How much do you want?"
"Well, given the danger of this operation, fifteen gold coins wouldn't be too much."
"I'll give you twenty gold coins, half of which I can pay you in advance now, and if you bring someone to me before sunset at the latest, I'll pay you the other half."
"Deal!" Jude gave a thumbs up, "What I like most is to deal with cheerful people, you pay, I contribute, I can make sure you are satisfied." ”
Li Yu took out the bag of gold coins, counted ten gold cohen from it and handed it to Jude, who took the money and immediately smiled, especially when he heard the beautiful sound of those golden little things falling into the money bag, his ugly face was even more happy.
looked up at Li Yu again, but saw that the latter had already sat down at the desk and fiddled with a strange little thing.
Li Yu waved at Jude and let him leave the room.
