Chapter 53: Undercurrent
"What's wrong with him, Lord Regent?" asked Li Xiang. After three days in prison, he didn't know much about the current situation, and he needed to let Odyssey explain it.
"You may not know that someone 'accidentally' leaked the news, saying that these celebrities and ladies in Huadu have been bizarre and even died recently, and they have something to do with you. Odyssey said.
Li Xiang's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he didn't mutter: "Why don't you pull it on Kyle's goods?" Maybe it's because he and those women who can't bear loneliness have a spring breeze, or even several degrees, and after they have passed it on, what kind of disease has he passed on to others. ”
An aristocratic marriage is not simply a union of two people, but a union of the families represented by two people, a combination of genealogy and power. None of these women are involved in at least two or even several families behind them, and they have offended so many nobles, Li Xiang has already begun to think about running away.
Kyle was sitting quietly watching the excitement, but when he heard Li Xiang's words, he jumped up, rolled up his arms and sleeves to reason with Li Xiang, and said menacingly: "Tell me clearly! Which woman I have slept with twice? Don't insult my professional ethics, I am a principled person!"
Hercules was not interested in this kind of tangled, brain-wielding thing, and although he was not simple-minded and well-limbed, he preferred to solve things with his fists, so he sat at the bar and poured himself a drink while everyone was deliberating. Kyle's personality Hercules also knew that it was normal for Li Xiang to say that Kyle, and Kyle's righteous words and shameless words made Hercules squirt out a mouthful of good wine.
Hercules coughed so much that tears came out of his eyes, and he couldn't help but interject: "Do you know what shame is?"
Kyle said righteously, "Shame, what is shame, can you sleep with me?"
"Okay, okay, there's business. Odyssey stopped the farce and said. "Now the families of many victims have jointly asked the regent to track down the murderer, and His Royal Highness does not even dare to go out of the palace gate now, and people are blocking him at the door every day. ”
Li Xiang understood how serious the matter was, and he asked curiously: "Since it has come to this point, can you tell me how I survived until now?" I am really curious that those people did not directly buy the murderer to kill me. Saying that, Li Xiang ran to the window and closed the curtains, and secretly looked out to see if there were any suspicious characters around.
Odyssey said: "Don't worry, with Hercules here, I don't think anyone dares to come here to find their own fun." As he spoke, the crow raised his glass and touched a glass with his friend. "Also, don't forget that you also have the famous 'Bloodclaw' here, I think he is even more intimidating than Hercules. After all, for Hercules, people have heard more rumors, and the performance of Bloodclaw in the God of War Arena has been seen in all the flowers. ”
Hearing the black crow mention himself, the dragon man Wimsalak clenched his fist and said coldly: "My lord, you are the benefactor of the black dragon clan, and you will not hesitate to protect you." ”
After being reminded by the odyssey, Li Xiang felt that with these two murderous bodyguards by his side, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease. He said, "I'm safe, right, what about Lokan? According to you, the Lord Regent can't count on me, right?"
At the same time, the entrance to the palace of the Prince of Orleans was bustling with activity.
The road in front of the gate of the Prince's Mansion was originally very wide enough to run eight or two carriages in parallel, but now it is blocked.
A number of nobles united, armed with stoves and banners, "stationed" at the entrance of the prince's palace. One here reads "Justice for the Princess", the wall over there reads "Give back my daughter's life", and there are even more bitter ones, two five or six-year-old girls sobbing incessantly, and the banner of their house reads "I want my mother......
This scene has been going on for several days, and it has made passers-by look lively.
"How?" asked Prince of Orleans, in the deepest part of the Prince's Palace.
The butler, who had just returned from the door, replied, "I don't think they plan to leave before the New Year." ”
Orleans exhaled in annoyance and said, "These guys are going to make trouble, go to Li Xiang's place." What do you mean by blocking me all day? Speaking of which, I'm a victim too. "My wife, who had just passed the door, suddenly fell seriously ill and died not long after. The loss of the delicate beauty is small, and the most important thing is that this marriage with the Palme d'Or family has existed in name only, which is the biggest loss for the prince.
The butler said, "I heard that these people are afraid of the dragon slave that Li Xiang brought back from the God of War Arena, so ......"
The Prince of Orleans has always been kind to people, and although he is in a high position, his usual affinity gives these people the illusion that they can mess around. And it is true that these people are in charge, and His Royal Highness the Prince cannot forcibly drive them away, otherwise it will be contrary to the reputation of a virtuous king that he has painstakingly managed.
The prince asked, "What did Lehman say, did Lokan confess?" This is the only hope that the Prince of Orleans has at the moment, these people now need a scapegoat, Li Xiang is an indispensable ally of the Prince, and Lokan is the best candidate.
The butler replied, "I sent someone to ask earlier, but Lord Lehman only said that it was being tried and investigated, and it would be made public when the evidence was conclusive." ”
The prince nodded and said, "Send more people to urge." ”
The butler frowned and said with a little puzzlement, "One thing is very strange, none of the female members of the Blood Axe family have been victimized. The death of the princess this time has caused the greatest loss to His Royal Highness and the Golden Palm family, why is the Blood Axe family enthusiastic about investigating this matter, and also sent the future patriarch, the eldest son Lehman, to preside over this matter. ”
