Chapter 150: The Mysterious Guest
Bauhinia Wei's so-called big fish finally surfaced, shocking the imperial capital one after another. When everyone thought that this last punch would be smashed on Gragia, they didn't expect David Mo to go off the rails and swing the giant sword of Bauhinia Guard at Budilson!
Lettifoucault admitted that he had stolen the battle plan from the Ministry of War, but he said that he was only instructed by someone to give the plan to a high-ranking official, and he did not know anything else.
As for who a certain high-ranking official is, there is a small news in the midst of thousands of calls: this matter is likely to be related to a certain high-ranking official with the surname Budi.
Then the matter about Budi's family industry was also exposed, and this minister of military aircraft, who was born in a small aristocratic family, now has a net worth of hundreds of millions of gold coins! The major inside information that has been disclosed one after another has finally pushed Budilson to the forefront completely.
Behind all the rumors, Buddilson couldn't help but feel anxious about it. At first, he was able to deal with it calmly, but then the rumors became more and more presentable, and he finally could no longer remain silent.
So he began to run to the mansions of Tuscon and Gragia, hoping to get help from both of them. It's a pity that the two of them are in an extremely awkward situation now, and they don't have the extra ability to help him.
Gragia is now embattled and the most dangerous, and when the mud bodhisattva crosses the river and it is difficult to protect himself, let alone protect others, he can protect himself now It is already good.
And the officials in Tuscon's hands have been shattered, and the matter of changing the court has exhausted him, and he has no time to take care of Budilson's affairs anymore.
In desperation, Budilson had no choice but to ask to enter the palace to face the saint. I want to test the emperor's attitude. Unfortunately, the emperor's reply to him was extremely crisp. It's just two words: no.
Since then, Budilson has finally decided. Bauhinia Guard's next target must be him. So he finally let go of his face and personally visited 15 Ronning Street.
The meeting with David Mo was short, and it is unknown what the two men talked about. But one thing is for sure, and that is that Buddilson didn't get the results he wanted. Because since this meeting, his whole mental condition has become more exhausted.
Next, the surroundings of Budi's mansion were monitored around the clock, and the soldiers defending the city of the Royal Forbidden Army were even more ordered. None of Buddilson's family members and himself were allowed to leave the imperial capital.
As tensions mount. Budilson was also on the verge of collapse, and wrote a resignation letter overnight to submit to the palace. It's a pity that the chief guard in the palace told him that the emperor had already spoken: he doesn't need to hand over his folds in the future.
When the mountains and rivers were exhausted, his temper became worse and worse, and he only thought about one thing all day: why he pointed his gun at him for no reason. Some time ago, it was clear that Gragia's subordinates were arrested, but in the end, they hit him with the heaviest punch.
Just when he began to feel hopeless and wandering, a mysterious guest was welcomed into his home, and the two of them talked for four hours before the mysterious guest took his leave.
Buddilson sat alone in the hall, a cold glint in his eyes. His face was cloudy, and he finally muttered to himself: "This is all the ...... you forced me"
......
The defense of Yale City was tasked with the rotation of twelve Royal Praetorian Divisions. Because the 1st Division had been transferred to guard southern Xinjiang, the speed of rotation was also faster than usual.
There are a total of eight gates in the entire Yale City, corresponding to the eight directions of due south, due north, due west, due east, southwest, northwest, southeast, and northeast.
When the city was first designed, the setting of the eight gates was the result of the final decision of the founding emperor. In order to highlight the unique political status of Yale City, as well as the majestic atmosphere that extends in all directions.
Tonight, the responsibility of guarding the eight gates fell to the Sixth Division, whose commander, Serra, was the second marquis of the Empire and was once a confidant of Budilson.
However, just a few days ago, he suddenly broke with Budilson in public, and even threatened that if the imperial court ordered the arrest of the entire Budilson clan one day, he was willing to personally lead troops to arrest him.
Although this remark is despicable, I have to admit that this made the Bauhinia Guard, who was originally going to target him, temporarily let him go. Because in David Mo's opinion, this kind of beam-jumping clown can't make any big waves at all.
The moonlight is like a hook, the starry night is brilliant, and the early summer night is a little cold, and a column of soldiers wearing iron armor and holding spears are changing the guard in an orderly manner.
However, today's defense has changed slightly, because the commander of the 6th Division, Serra, said that in order to prevent a certain military aircraft minister from leaving at night, he will personally be in charge of the defense of the northwest gate tonight.
Several officers wanted to stand guard with him, but he pushed them aside for various reasons. At this time, he was pacing back and forth on the castle tower, his eyes flickering slightly, and his face looked a little uneasy.
However, the darkness of the night did a good job of hiding his expression, and no one around noticed him. Although the recent remarks of this teacher are contemptible, the power of the past few years is still there, and no one dares to openly express dissatisfaction with him for the time being.
In the distance, more than a dozen carriages were slowly walking towards the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately stopped this group of people and horses, and just wanted to step forward to carefully check and interrogate, but they did not expect an overwhelming smell to spread, and a group of soldiers covered their mouths and noses.
A small old man stepped down from the carriage at the head, and he lifted the cloak from his head, revealing an old countenance. Tian stepped forward with a face, nodded and said, "I'm tired of the military master, let the little ones go into the city to rest." ”
After speaking, he took out a small bag of heavy gold coins and wanted to stuff them into the hands of an officer led by him, but unfortunately the officer coldly refused: "You put away this money first, and then we will talk about it after we check it!"
After saying that, he ignored the short old man and personally led a group of soldiers to start checking their cars. Because of the large number of cars, the inspection took a long time, and the old man's eyes began to be a little impatient.
The soldiers in charge of the search soon discovered that the dozens of wagons were all stinking and crowded with ragged slaves, apparently slave traders' wagons.
Because the purchase and sale of slaves must have the approval of the imperial court, it is illegal to trade slaves privately in the Holy Empire. The officer asked, "Show me your approval." ”
The short old man looked a little embarrassed, and after searching for a long time in his arms, he actually took out a few bank bills. With a flattering face, he said: "This military master is troublesome and accommodating, it is not easy to buy and sell small capitals." ”
The officer snorted coldly, not moved at all, now Zijingwei is strictly investigating all kinds of bribery cases, if he accepts these silver tickets in front of everyone's eyes, he is afraid that tomorrow the matter will be spread, and then he will have to suffer in prison.
"Since you don't have the approval, it's a private slave trade, and we will detain all these slaves, and you and all the guards must also go with us!"
When his voice fell, he immediately motioned to the soldiers to arrest people, and the dozen or so guards behind the old man were taken down on the spot, and all the carriages were also controlled, and they were ready to be escorted away separately.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came, and it was Serra who came down with a few guards, and when his eyes swept to the short old man, his face showed a little unnatural, but he quickly covered it up.
"What's going on, why is there such a big fight?!" asked the officer, walking directly in front of him. Because the walls of Yale City were so high that he couldn't hear the conversation below, he didn't know the situation for the time being.
Then the officer hurriedly bowed down and said: "Report to the division commander, it has been found that these people are buying and selling slaves without permission, and now they are preparing to escort them to the yamen of the Chengguan Army for interrogation." ”
Only the Chengguan had the power to interrogate these illegal slave traders, and they were rewarded with 30 percent of the market value of the slaves.
Serra nodded, approached the boss-looking little old man, and frowned slightly, "What's the smell on your body?
When the little old man saw the official medal on his clothes, his eyes flashed with joy, but his face was bitter and said, "In order to prevent these slaves from dying of illness, the little one gave them some herbs...... The villain is just begging for food, and he asks the military master to let the villain go. ”
Serra looked the old man up and down, and suddenly said with some curiosity: "It sounds like your accent is from the province of Queque, which city are you?"
The little old man hurriedly replied, "The little one is from Ceris City, could it be that the adult is also from Quark Bei?"
Serra seemed to be extremely happy to hear his answer, and said with a light smile: "What a coincidence, the old man is also from Seris, and it is not easy to meet people from his hometown in the imperial capital...... "When he said this, he turned to the officer beside him and ordered: "This time, I will treat them as if I didn't see them, and let them into the city." ”
The officer's face was a little embarrassed, after all, this kind of thing can be big or small, and it doesn't matter if Serra is high and powerful, he can't afford it as a small battalion commander.
Seeing his appearance, Serra waved his hand and said, "If anything happens, I'll take care of it!"
Seeing that he insisted so much, the officer was not able to say anything refused, and the division commander also said that he would personally take responsibility, so the middle-aged officer had no choice but to say stupidly: "Release people!"
The little old man fell to his knees with a thud and said gratefully: "Little old man, thank you to the military masters, the great kindness of the military masters, the little old man is unforgettable!"
After speaking, he took out a small stack of silver tickets and stuffed them into Serra's hand, and said earnestly: "Don't shirk your lordship, the villain just wants to express his gratitude." ”
Serra had no choice but to take it, and the little old man called out to the guards to drive into the city, and a dozen carriages all passed through the city gates in a few moments.
At this time, the old man's face no longer had a look of humility, but instead a calm face, and he said in a deep voice to a man in cloak beside him: "I will take people to ambush at the gate of the Bauhinia Guard, and you will take people to the mansion of the Demon General to wait for the dispatch." ”
Then it was learned that more than a dozen figures jumped out of the carriage, and disappeared into the streets and alleys in an instant under the cover of the moonlight. (To be continued......)
