Chapter 314: The murder case of the night banquet on death row is suspicious

readx;

After many years, old Foye's old body is not as good as before, the body under the gray and white robe is more and more thin, and the old hand with crutches is skinny and wrinkled. The pen is www.biquge.info and under the long gray hair, the old face is haggard.

In the side hall of St. John's Cathedral, Du Chen saw the aging appearance of Old Fuye, and his heart was inexplicably sour.

Old Fuye pushed away the sacrifice that was supporting him, staggered and grabbed Du Chen's shoulders, and was about to kneel, and the old tears were all over his face. "Young Master, the old servants have heard about Master Steve's affairs, how can this be, Master Steve is a very good person......" Before he finished speaking, he couldn't stop crying.

"Get up quickly!" Du Chen let out a soft water and gently helped the old man up, "Uncle, why are you here, now there is chaos in Yanjing!"

"The eldest young master is going to be burned at the stake, where can the old servant still sit still?!" Old Fuye grabbed Du Chen's hand and trembled, "The eldest young master is our closest person, if it wasn't for the care of the eldest young master back then, you, the old servant, and the kid Ariza probably wouldn't have survived today......"

The old man choked up and couldn't go on, and sat down firmly under Du Chen's support, but his hands refused to let go, and the muddy old tears fell down in a row, and begged: "Young master, where is the eldest young master imprisoned? The old servant wants to go and see him now!"

Du Chen was embarrassed: "The eldest brother has now been convicted and put on death row, no one can visit him, but ......"

Old Foye cried: "The eldest young master is going to be burned to death, the old servant just thinks, just want to see a man before he is burned at the stake......" As he spoke, he knelt down again and begged bitterly, "Young master, the old servant is not old and confused, knowing that the eldest young master has committed a mortal crime this time, and no one can save him, that is, the old servant just wants to see him for the last time before he is burned to death...... Woo, old servant, old servant is so old, I don't want to and don't dare to see the eldest young master being burned to charcoal!"

It turned out that the old man came in a hurry just to see Steve for the last time!

Du Chen sighed deeply, it was easy to send Uncle Fu Ye to see the eldest brother, but the current appearance of the eldest brother ...... Uncle Foyer is so old, how can he withstand such a big stimulus!?

"Uncle, don't worry, in fact, I was looking for someone to dredge up just now, and I have already met the eldest brother! The eldest brother is fine now!" Du Chenqiang smiled: "The eldest brother also told me that he was in a daze when the murder occurred, and it is very likely that he was wronged, and he was drinking and complaining, and at the same time asking me to help him overturn the case!"

"Really, but ......" Old Fuye stared at Du Chen suspiciously.

"Of course it's true, I can't lie to anyone!Ariza are you right!?" Du Chen smiled and supported the old man, "Uncle, you take a rest here first, Ariza will accompany you, and I will immediately find a way to help the eldest brother clear his name...... You should put 10,000 hearts at your age!"

The corners of his eyes were a little moist, Du Chen turned around and smiled, and left with a confident look.

Old Foye kept staring at Du Chen's back, and said in his heart, you kid, even Uncle Foye dared to deceive? Steve couldn't be in the mood to drink now, ......no matter what!

Whether you're awake or not is a big question!

That's it, this kid must be afraid that I will be more 'sad' after I see Steve, so he made an excuse to excuse himself, or he will personally go to Lanning death row tonight!

Take a trip in person!?Ordinary human old people over 90 years old want to visit death row at night!?

Yes!

Old Fuye squinted his old eyes and looked around the side hall of the church, sighed for a moment, beckoned and wailed: "Ariza, you don't have to follow Uncle, the young master is employing people now...... Uncle, it's useless for me to stay here, it's just a cause for trouble. You can ask a few people to take me to the old mansion in Nancheng, alas, it was the mansion that Master Steve helped us build back then!"

As he spoke, the old man began to weep bitterly again.

......

In the main hall, Potter waited for Du Chen with a stack of files, "Francis, I have found out all the details of the murder case!" Seeing that Du Chen's face was not good, he sped up his speech, "First of all, from Steve's surname, although he has acquiesced in the charge, I still rule out the possibility that Steve killed Shalon, so there are only two situations left......"

"First, my eldest brother was wronged, and second, my eldest brother is taking the blame for another person!" Du Chen quickly took over, "I met the eldest brother just now, and basically ruled out the possibility that he was wronged! Then, he must be guilty of others!"

Potter nodded slightly, "With your eldest brother's temper, there are only two kinds of people who can make him guilty, one is the core members of the family - but Angels and Charlie are certainly not murderers, and they don't need him to take the blame! It will only be a woman... And a very beautiful woman!"

Du Chen strode out, "On the day of the banquet, the only beautiful woman who is worthy of the eldest brother to take the blame for her and has a reason to kill Shalon, it seems that the only woman with such qualifications is Princess Yuna!" Du Chen shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile and muttered: "I hope the eldest brother doesn't really like Yuna, otherwise, I really don't know what to do!?"

"Yes, Steve's possible surname for Princess Yuna's guilt is very ......" Potter was stunned, what!? What did Francis say?

I hope the eldest brother doesn't like Yuna, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do!? Isn't there a meaning in the subtext of this sentence...... Francis, who has been rejecting all the good female surnames all these years, actually likes Yuna!?

"What are you still standing?" Du Chen greeted, and Potter replied distractedly, following quickly.

It took a lot of twists and turns to find Princess Yuna, this Lanning's eldest princess is different from other princesses, she has her own courtyard outside the Verne Palace, and she has her own set of power teams, and she does not live in the Verne Palace with other unmarried princesses.

Du Chen went to the eldest princess's courtyard but pounced, and instead went to the Verne Palace to find her in the name of the Holy Sect, but the Verne guard told him that the eldest princess was at the old queen's place.

Turning the road and rushing to the old queen mother, I saw Princess Yuna.

In the garden of the Queen Mother's bedroom, Princess Yuna came in a jet black dress, with a standard princess-style smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, and when she saw Du Chen's head signaling, her eyes fell on Potter, "This is ......"

Potter stood up, wearing a white robe that contrasted sharply with Yuna, he pushed his glasses and bowed, "Potter, the head of internal affairs in Durks City, meets Her Royal Highness!"

Yuna looked at Potter slowly, and said to herself, "This is the young steward who is said to have the talent of a prime minister, and who has managed the eighteen-mile banks of the Newne River to a thriving degree?, and has just joined Francis...... If it were another time, I would definitely try to recruit him!

Potter was also looking at Yuna, and said that she did look very beautiful, but her eyes were deep, and there were rumors of great ambition...... How could Francis possibly have a crush on her!?

Could it be that Francis likes the queen type, the queen!? God, how could Francis have this kind of preference!? I used to think that a person like him who is kind on the outside and dark on the inside, but is actually a good person in essence, should like a gentle and virtuous lady, a good wife and a good mother!

A black dress, a white robe, the two looked at each other and smiled, this posture lasted for a long time.

Princess Yuna first broke the silence, and after a few polite words with Potter, who had met for the first time, she sat on the stone bench opposite Du Chen, spread her hands, and sighed very elegantly, "There have been too many things recently, and I really don't have the extra strength to deal with you anymore."

Francis, I know very well that not only you, but also many people in Yanjing are suspicious that I used Steve to set up a game to kill Sharon because I didn't want to marry Macallan! I will only give you an answer and a question about this!"

Potter suddenly pushed down his glasses and said with a smile: "For Her Royal Highness the Princess's answers and questions, I'm afraid we can only answer you one sentence!"

The eyes of the two were intertwined, smiling at each other, without saying a word.

Brush!

The two stared at Du Chen in unison, and Yuna said, "What does Manager Potter mean, is that what you mean?"

Potter kept silent, but his eyes wandered between Yuna and Du Chen, very boldly wandering, Du Chen was even a little strange, Potter used to be a very quiet little boy, why is it suddenly a little different today!?

Why!?

The atmosphere of the garden is a little bit eerie!

Du Chen patted Potter on the shoulder, "His words are my words!"

After the meeting, Potter nudged his glasses for the third time and smiled at Yuna, "The princess's answer is that Steve's affairs have nothing to do with you! And your question is whether my Excellency Francis can help you settle the crisis of marrying Macallan far away - because your name with Sharon is decided, even if Sharon is dead, you are the surviving of Prince Sharon, and you will go to Macallan to be widowed, right?"

Yuna stared at Potter and smiled, "And the thing you gave me is - you don't believe I have nothing to do with Steve's business, do you?"

As she spoke, she stood up and shook her head again and again, "Francis, believe it or not, although I really want to kill Shalon, but Steve's matter has absolutely nothing to do with me, and I will continue to negotiate with the old queen mother to get her out of the crisis and deal with my brothers, I don't think I can provide more help, sorry!

Leaving the Empress Dowager Palace and walking towards St. Bowen Square, Du Chen glanced at Potter up and down, his eyes were very strange, "You say, how credible are her words?"

Potter looked at Du Chen from the bottom up, raised his eyebrows, and smiled suddenly, "I choose to believe thirty percent, and the other seventy percent is Yuna lying to us!

Du Chen pursed his lips, looked at the secluded neighborhood with his eyebrows, and scolded in a low voice: "Yicheng...... I don't believe this bastard woman has nothing to do with my eldest brother! But that's all for today, we still have time, check her slowly!"

"Bastard woman!?"

Potter suddenly turned over and patted Du Chen's shoulder, and his movements were very urgent!"Francis, do you think a future queen like Yuna is a jerk?"

"Yes!" Du Chen nodded honestly, "I've been thinking lately, if my eldest brother really likes such a woman, what should I do?

Potter suddenly stuck out his tongue playfully, and followed Du Chen like a bitter melon.

After walking a long way, he suddenly said, "Why do you hate a princess like Yuna?"

"Oh my God, don't you think about it, isn't it annoying to think about a woman who is full of politicians' official tone and thinks about what use you have when you meet!? A woman who is about to marry the prairie, but is still thinking about how to use the old queen mother to help her deal with the contenders for the throne, isn't she a bastard!?"

Du Chen had no scruples about Potter, and blurted out his true thoughts!

"So, what kind of woman do you hate the least?" asked Potter curiously.

Du Chen was stunned when asked, Potter really can't open which pot to mention, and now the lotus flower has only bloomed to the fourth hexagram! But unconsciously, the woman he met in his life crossed in front of him like a marquee, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

To be honest, the women I've met in my life are all pretty beautiful, and they all give people a good impression......! They are all from aristocratic backgrounds, they do everything at a glance, pay attention to the demeanor of aristocratic ladies, and they are thugs and thieves, even if they have a good impression of one of them, or even moved, but it is impossible to talk about liking these two words!

Du Chen touched his nose and thought for a long time and didn't think of how to answer Porter's question accurately, he said vaguely: "There is no least hateful, but as long as I am not like a politician like Yuna, I basically don't hate it!"

"That said, you like girls who 'do you want to be yourself'?" Potter quickly caught up with Du Chen, walking side by side, tilting his head to look at him.

Du Chen chewed on Potter's words and nodded violently, "Well, be yourself!" Potter, you are worthy of being my dog-headed military advisor, and your words are more interesting than my thief! Let's go, we have to find other clues!"

Potter pouted and smiled with a slight tug at the collar of the thick black underwear. Be yourself, well, how long has it been since you put on this garment left by your ancestors?

Be yourself, be Hillmelia, be ...... At the age of three, he could recite the entire "Treatise on the Nation", but at the age of six, he would use the book to burn the teacher's beard...... Goddess Palace Genius Little Witch!?

"No, some idiot might touch his nose and feel sore!" Potter told himself, biting his lip. Laughing ...... It's worse than Little Bebe!It's cuter, it's really cute!

As night slowly fell in St. John's City, Du Chen strode to the foreign embassy area, greeting and smiling at civilians all the way. And Potter behind him......

He followed softly like a kitten, the nose pad of the golden wire eyes was pulled down to the tip of the nose, and a pair of big crystal eyes were from the bottom up, looking at Du Chen's back strangely.

......

The location of the murder, the Foreign Legation Post in St. John's City appeared in Du Chen's eyes, and he turned back to greet Potter, "Wait a minute, I will call all the guards that night out for questioning, you ...... Potter, what are you laughing at? And laughing so weirdly?"

Potter shrugged, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, and said innocently, "Did I smile?"

It's weird, why do you always feel that something is wrong with the dog-headed military division!?

Du Chen was thinking about it, and suddenly, the sound of 'rumbling' sounded in his ears, it sounded like a horse galloping, but it was not the sound of horses' hooves, looking for prestige, but it was a team of mounts unique to the beast clan - the size of a giant bear, with scales all over the body, and bloody fangs of the Kamando battle armor beast!

The knights on the Warframe Beasts are all heavily armored and can't see their faces clearly, but their mounts and sizes clearly tell everyone that this is the messenger of the Macallan Orcs!

The orc envoys galloped out of the foreign embassies, headed east along Fourth Street, and turned south at the end of the street, looking at this route, their goal was the Palace of Verne!

Glancing at this group of knights, Potter frowned slightly, "It's weird, isn't it? Now the six legions of Macallan are pressing the sea and sky pass, but the orc envoys of Macallan still dare to ride wild in Lanning Yanjing...... Even if the two countries are at war without slashing each other, but if they dare to be so arrogant in Yanjing, the enemy country, they must have something to rely on!"

At this time, another group of orc knights galloped out of the embassy area, also heading towards the Palace of Verne, Potter nodded and said: "There are only two possibilities, the first is that Macallan has achieved a winning advantage on the battlefield, and at this moment in his heart he has already regarded Lanning as a defeated country in battle! Second, the big man who can speak among the orcs is here......"

While he was talking, the third team of orc knights galloped past, and a team of chariots followed, and it turned out that the three teams of knights in front of them were only opening the way!

"It's really a big shot!" Du Chen looked at the golden lion tent at the core of the team, and whispered to Potter: "It's the Macallan royal family or the St. Patton family, and only two of the orcs are qualified to use the golden lion as a mark!"

The Golden Lion tent suddenly stopped when it came to the road not far in front of Du Chen, but soon, a fluffy hand stretched out in the tent and waved, and the tent continued to move!

Du Chen turned around and left, "Potter, let's go back to the cathedral, at this time, the orcs sent royal envoys to St. John's City, it must be for my eldest brother's business! These barbarian guys can do anything, let go of those guards first, and go back to Ferdinand to keep an eye on the orcs!"

......

There were two orcs sitting in the golden lion tent, one was an orc dressed as a heavily armored fighting god, and his face was hidden under a heavy helmet. And the other is a fox clan with a very low degree of humanoidism, which means that his strength is also very poor, he is dressed in a black robe, his face is old, but he is in good spirits.

"High Priest of Cliland, although we and Lanning are enemy countries, my St. Patton family owes Francis a life! Now we meet by chance on the street, but we don't even say hello, it's so unkind!" The leon orc who spoke was actually Du Chen's old friend, Hawkins of the St. Barton family!

The Golden Lion tent stopped for a moment just now, because he recognized Du Chen!

The old fox man is the High Priest of The Macallan, Cleryland! He shook his head slightly, "This is also something that cannot be helped! The double edict of the Lord of St. Barton and His Majesty Ray Barton is of great importance, and there is no room for negligence! Your Excellency must conceal his identity and not appear in public in the city of St. John. At least on the surface!"

Hawkins, though still feeling sorry in his heart, did not refute Cleryland.

The fox in Kreland's eyes was shining, and he lifted the curtain and glanced at the Palace of Verne in front of him, "Your Excellency Hawkins, it's almost there." Then let's go according to the plan - I'll meet with Bargener and help you get rid of the Lanning death row guards! And you and the four red-clad guards will sneak into the death row and investigate Steve!"

Hawkins slammed his breastplate, "Don't worry, as long as the High Priest can successfully transfer half of the guards, I will never miss!"

He scolded angrily, "These despicable Lanning people, they not only killed my Shalon's nephew, but also didn't even let go of his relics! Damn, if it weren't for our orcs having the custom of secret royal burials, we really wouldn't have found out that the bastard Lanning people had taken Shalon's relics! Hmph, thanks to those vultures that devoured Shalon's corpse!"

Clelland waved his hand slightly, "I have already said that it should not have been sent by the Lanning royal family, they don't know the important surname of the relics of Crown Prince Chalon! Moreover, after the murder, our minister has been keeping the body of the crown prince, and Lanning Bargena's people have no chance to do it at all!"

So...... The time when the crown prince's relics are lost can only be the moment when the murder occurs, and if you want to recover the relics, you can only ask Your Excellency and the four red-clothed Lingwei elders who made an exception to go out of the valley without alarming Lan Ning!"

Hawkins kept staring out the window, "Okay, it's time for the action, don't worry, if possible, I will capture Steve alive and return home! Even if I can't capture him alive, I will find a way to find out the whereabouts of the relic!"

......

Hawkins and four red-clad elders go to death row to investigate Steve. At this time, in the old house of St. John's City, old Foye went out alone, without a single servant, and he said that he was going to meet his old friends of the charity foundation, not far away.

In the Place de la Sainte-Bowen, old Foye walked slowly on crutches, and on the other side of the crowd, a middle-aged farmer led two young girls, like a peasant family, into the city to see the world.

One of the girls said, "Master, miss, my friends just told me that there are many guards around Steve, and there are at least three hundred fighting gods and fighters in the open and in secret......! Are we going to see him for ourselves!?"

Helen said in a low voice: "If you want to overturn the case for a prisoner, then at least you have to see the situation of the prisoner! Father, since we are just going to see Steve's situation tonight, then it is enough for me and Su Lan to go, and the two of us should cooperate with each other, and there should be no problem - anyway, we are not going to fight hard to save people!"

"Okay, I'll pick you up outside!"
