Chapter 37: A Murder Caused by a Chicken Bone
Miss Rabbit prescribes an extra bottle of Coke for Herodotus' arrest.
She didn't ask for any of the 3,000 golden lions that the high priest of Quintus rewarded Juan and others, and then added another 1,000 for Juan and the others to take and divide.
This can be said to be the most comfortable amount of money that the female lord has ever spent.
Herodotus and his Blood Moon Society, already notorious in the West, have been assassinating and destroying everywhere, breaking the peace that has always been there, leaving the opponents of the Blood Moon Society living in fear.
Green Field is okay, because Miss Rabbit took refuge in the Shuangxiu Sect early and gave Li Yu the right to preach, and even her relatives, vassals, and the following lords have now become believers on Saturday.
Herodotus and his Blood Moon would not be able to infiltrate, so it would not be as destructive, but not elsewhere.
Many of the fellow followers of Pithia are naturally sympathetic to the Blood Moon Society, and it is easy for them to change their beliefs and sow the seeds of hatred by the Blood Moon Society.
The lords of the West, though they had been trying to capture Herodotus and his followers, had had little success over the course of the year.
Brutal methods and high-pressure policies have provided the most fertile ground for the Blood Moon Society, prompting it to spread more quickly.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Blood Moon Society that Li Yu was worried about the personal safety of the Hughes, even though the Shuangxiu Sect had become famous in the Western Realm, he was still very cautious about missionary work.
Even if there are monks who go out to preach, most of them only move around the green fields, at most to Black Rock City, and they are all protected by the Black Dog Guard.
The advantage of this is that it is safe and secure, but the disadvantage is that the cost of proselytizing is too high and the progress is slow.
Fortunately, Miss Rabbit went to the royal capital before and let Li Yu bring back many believers, and then in the battle of the Dragon's Back Mountains, a group of savages and dwarves were captured.
Li Yu has a lot to do now, so he doesn't think about preaching abroad, but once he has absorbed these believers and wants to collect a large number of believers, he will have to go out.
At this time, Herodotus was arrested, and his Blood Moon looked like it was about to fall, which was also good news for the Cult.
However, after Li Yu heard Juan talk about the arrest process, he always felt that it was a little too smooth.
But Herodotus is now locked up in the City of Scales, which is the stronghold of the Silvermoon Church, and Li Yu is not easy to interfere with.
And he had other things to do right now.
The Emanuel family finally heard of Theodosius' death.
According to Galin, Diodosi's butler, Lord Theodosi, died after a meal with a chicken bone stuck in his throat.
Of course, the main reason is that Lord Theodosius has been bedridden for too long after being injured by the dragon, and he is very weak, so that he cannot spit out that small piece of chicken bone like ordinary people.
By the time it was too late, Garin had the family's herbalist and the priests of the Silvermoon Church go to him, but none of them could save Theodosius.
The head of the Emmanuel family died.
As soon as Harman and Rafal heard the news, they jumped out and accused the housekeeper of lying.
Because Theodosius died too coincidentally!
Just when Garin's illusion that he was still alive became more and more difficult to maintain, his sudden death seemed like a forced end after the lie had been exposed.
The two were now on their way to Blackstone City, and Garin's side was also very fast, and on the night of Theodosius' death, he had already taken out a suicide note.
This suicide note was left by Theodosius three months ago, when he wrote this suicide note because he felt that his old wounds could not heal for a long time and his health was deteriorating, so in order to prevent accidents.
In his suicide note, he unexpectedly left the position of head of the family to his youngest daughter Angela.
Garin believes that it was this suicide note that angered Harman and Rafal to insist that Theodosius had already died, and wanted to use it to question the validity of the suicide note and thus regain the inheritance.
There was tension between the two sides, and even their own troops and horses were mobilized, and there was a great tendency to fight, but in the end, under the mediation and mediation of the elders of the clan, they decided to sit down and try to solve the matter through peaceful means.
Both the female lord and Li Yu were invited to observe the negotiations.
Miss Rabbit arrived in Black Rock City a day early, while Li Yu waited until evening to arrive and appeared directly in the castle of the Emmanuel family.
Garin was quite surprised when he saw Li Yu the next morning, because he was worried that Harman and Rafal would lead people to attack the castle under the pretext of negotiation and directly establish the victory.
Therefore, the housekeeper set up a tight defense inside the castle. No guards saw Li Yu in and out during this time, but now the latter appeared in front of her eyes.
Garin was stunned for about a few seconds before he remembered what was going on and spoke.
"I just received the news that Rafal has brought in the Mariel family of Lake City, the Trareles family of Red Tower City, and the Soto family of Fort Flowers to support him, and he must have promised to give those guys a large sum of money."
"Where's Harman?" Li Yu asked.
Halman was the eldest son of Theodosius, and according to Western custom, he was supposed to be the new head of the Emanuel family after Theodosius' death, but now his position as head of the family has been taken away.
And the person who snatched it all was his sister who didn't pay much attention to it, and Harman definitely wouldn't give up.
"Didn't find it." Garin said, "It seems that Harman has learned to be smart this time, and he doesn't even know who the person he is looking for this time is even the eyeliner I put next to him." ”
Ilea was very open-minded, "Forget it, we'll know when that guy shows up." ”
She was in a good mood, not only because Herodotus was arrested, but more importantly, she had the opportunity to go out with Li Yu again.
In Miss Rabbit's opinion, although this trip to Blackstone City is a business trip, it is almost the same as dating.
It's just right to cultivate a good relationship with Li Yu.
The girl liked the look of shock on Garin's face when she opened the door, and she even deliberately messed up the sheets a little, and her neckline was deliberately wrinkled, and then sat on the edge of the bed like this, deliberately talking while dressing.
However, Garin didn't have time to care about the gossip between the head of the Arias family and the prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect.
He just said, "You are ready to come to the banquet hall, Halman and Rafal have already arrived." ”
Because they had the same concerns as the housekeeper, they didn't even dare to live in the family castle, so they chartered an inn in each city and lived in it with their subordinates.
It wasn't until the invited guests had almost arrived that they appeared, and they brought a lot of people with them.
