In the midst of the royal capital, another person was also preparing to leave.

At the gate of the royal capital, two soldiers bowed politely to the lady.

"It turned out to be Miss Tifa, may I ask you what ...... this?"

"I'm going to go out of town, something."

As he spoke, Tifa didn't notice it, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

And the soldiers guarding the gate saw it, and probably understood, so they didn't say anything.

"Miss Tifa, you've been waiting for a long time."

Suddenly, a luxurious carriage appeared in front of Tifa.

The person who got out of the car was none other than Lake.

When everyone saw such a luxurious battle, they were all envious.

If they could also be born in such a family, I am afraid that they would be the ones who are prosperous and rich now.

It's just that Tifa, who is used to being alone and simple, is still very uncomfortable when he sees this battle.

"That...... Is this necessary......"

Tifa looked at the carriage in front of him with a stiff smile, very speechless.

"Uh...... I heard from the Viscount that you are the daughter of the Duke, so I thought ......"

"Forget it...... It's all here, let's go......"

With a speechless Tifa, the group set out on the journey back to Flower Town.

"Where was the Duke's young lady going?"

"I don't know, but the leader seems to be Lake, and I've heard that I've been haunting Flower Town a lot lately."

"That's supposed to be, Miss Tifa has been walking around the border area a lot lately."

"I heard that Flower Town has recently produced a very powerful lord, do you think it is ......?"

Just as a few people were gossiping, a figure appeared behind them.

"I said that you guys, don't do your duty well, and talk about the duke's daughter behind your back, do you think your head is very stable on your neck?"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout.

Several people were immediately frightened and stood upright.

At first glance, it was none other than the princess of the kingdom, Nia.

"Your Royal Highness! I'm so sorry, let's go stand guard! ”

As soon as several guards saw that it was this god of war coming, they immediately settled down.

Nia, on the other hand, looked in the direction of the carriage and sighed with a complicated expression.

"Jiang Hao, I didn't expect that Sister Tifa would actually ...... it."

Nia turned her head away, feeling an indescribable awkwardness in her heart.

"Forget it, it's important to get down to business."

Shaking his head, he prepared to continue to investigate the matter of General York.

However, it was at this time that one of Nia's eyeliners came to her side.

"Princess, something is wrong! A resident of Flower Town has been killed! ”

……

On the side of Flower Town, Jiang Hao was checking the scene next to the farmland.

"Corey, what's the result?"

"Lord Jiang Hao, the usual patrols in this place are relatively sparse, but the recent waves of mountain bandits have been exterminated, and there are ...... here."

Jiang Hao nodded, and then continued to check the scene.

Seeing the location of the deceased, Jiang Hao was a little suspicious.

The deceased died in the middle of the farmland.

"When did the crime happen?"

"Someone found out early this morning, so the time of the crime should have been last night."

Old Corey reported truthfully.

"Last night?"

Jiang Hao was very puzzled.

How can it be in the middle of the field at night, which is often a break from farming?

And the most important thing is that Jiang Hao obviously issued a curfew.

According to the loyalty of these lords, it is simply impossible to wander outside.

Not to mention working in the fields.

This can only show one point, that is, someone has forced this farmer out of the house.

As for who this person is, Jiang Hao does not know for the time being.

"Dare to kill people on my territory, it looks like I'm impatient."

To be honest, Jiang Hao was extremely angry now.

Either way, it's a human life.

This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated by Jiang Hao's values.

"Check it out! No matter what the cost! You have to find out about this matter for me! ”

"Lord Jiang Hao, in fact, ......"

Suddenly, a soldier came to Jiang Hao.

"How?"

"That's right, when I was on patrol, I saw a dark shadow wandering around here, but he was wrapped in a black robe all over his body, and I really couldn't see the guy's face clearly."

"Are you a resident of Flower Town?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be, he has weapons, and most of them are deserters under the hands of other nobles."

Jiang Hao pondered carefully.

In this world, there are some nobles who have a lot of soldiers under their hands.

And some of them are because they have made some mistakes, or they have known some secrets that they should not know.

will defect and be hunted down by other nobles.

In this case, they generally only move in the middle of the night.

And the border area is the end point of their wandering.

As long as they escape beyond the borders of the country, their original owners will have nothing to do with them.

More importantly, they don't have any sense of honor at all.

Compared to the average knight, it is their credo to achieve the end by any means.

"It's just...... Lord Jiang Hao, in the current situation, I'm afraid there won't be too many nobles who can cooperate with our investigation. ”

Most of the nobles in the kingdom are now in collusion with the Yorkist generals.

For Flower Town or Jiang Hao, they are extremely resistant.

What's more, Jiang Hao is now uniting with major chambers of commerce, and all the nobles who oppose Jiang Hao's business activities have been sanctioned by Jiang Hao.

Their resentment against Jiang Hao can be said to be unprecedentedly heavy.

"Corey, step up your patrol tonight."

After Jiang Hao finished giving the order, he glanced at the scene of the crime again.

He was amazed to find that compared to the corpse.

The devastation of farmland has worsened, and it is not only the land that has been turned upside down.

More mainly, some crops appear to be uprooted.

Moreover, it seems that the farmland has been eroded by a decaying potion, and if the antidote is not applied to the farmland in time, it is likely that the place will no longer be used as farmland.

But according to Old Corey, this should be a potion used to destroy the corpse.

"Night...... Homicide...... Farmland and corpses? ”

Jiang Hao suddenly had an epiphany.

"No, these people's purpose is not to kill people at all!"

Jiang Hao, who suddenly realized the truth, immediately asked Lao Corey to make a new deployment.

Jiang Hao believed that these people were most likely the dead soldiers sent by the nobles who rebelled against him.

Their purpose was not to slaughter the farmers at all, but to destroy the farmland in Flower Town.

Because, now Jiang Hao is using the price of grain to suppress those nobles who rebel against him.

If Flower Town is unable to continue producing food, the threat to them will be completely removed.

Looking at the cold corpses of his leaders, Jiang Hao punched the railing next to him.

"Wait, I'll avenge you!"
