A few days later, Lao Xie successfully received the materials sent by the three princes, a little bit, completely according to Lao Xie's list. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Of course, there are two sword saints in it, but it is also related to the three princes' worries about the old evil and making trouble.

You must know that the implication of this warehouse theft case is too great, although the three princes try their best to cover it up, but in this broken place of Yanjing, how can there be an impermeable wall? Especially those boring ladies and ladies, they like to spread all kinds of gossip, as long as one of them knows something, it is equivalent to the whole of Yanjing knows. So in just one night, almost all the nobles and nobles of the entire Yanjing got the news, and it was extremely detailed. Not only did they know that the matter was revealed by the two Sword Saints and Little Stephen, but they also knew that the Third Prince almost used a pleading method in exchange for Little Stephen and the others to remain silent.

In this way, as long as people with a little brain, they will deduce that this matter has something to do with the Three Princes, and most people definitely think that the Three Princes did it. Although these nobles didn't have a few good things, and almost all of them embezzled a little bit in private, they were still extremely shocked that the third prince dared to corrupt the entire military warehouse, and even had a trace of anger. Because they are not stupid, they all know that this matter will have a very bad impact on the army of the griffon kingdom. And on this continent, without the support of a strong army, national security cannot be guaranteed, and these nobles may be completely lost in the troubled wars, so they are still extremely taboo about this kind of thing that may cause ruin to themselves.

Some of the old and serious ministers have made suggestions to His Majesty, demanding that the matter be dealt with seriously and that the stolen goods be recovered in the shortest possible time.

In fact, the emperor is not a fool, and he doesn't need to be reminded by these people to know the seriousness of this matter. In fact, when he got the news, he was so angry that he flipped the table on the spot. You know, the contents of that warehouse are worth millions of gold coins. It's gone all of a sudden, and who is distressed if you change it?

Moreover, this is not just a matter of gold coins, but also has a bearing on national security! You must know that there are many things in this that cannot be gathered in a moment. For example, if you want to gather enough food to supply 100,000 troops for 10 months, you normally have to accumulate it for at least two years. If there is a temporary forced conscription, it is easy to trigger a popular uprising. There are also those weapons and armor, which take time to build, especially large war equipment, and the inventory in the warehouse is a scale that has been accumulated for many years. But now that these important materials are all gone, if the Burning Legion breaks through the blockage of the front line and fights all the way to Yanjing, what will the emperor do to resist?

As soon as he thought of this serious consequence, and then thought that the commander of the front line was Catherine, who had no experience in big wars, the emperor's head was about to explode. Especially when he later learned that the military quartermaster on the front line had been secretly detained by the third prince, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood!

Thinking of this, the emperor's anger could no longer be suppressed, and for the first time, in front of a group of ministers, he slapped the third prince fiercely, and then directly imprisoned him, and instead asked the royal secret agent to investigate the matter.

His Majesty's efficiency was still very satisfying, but in two or three days, the results of the investigation were obtained. In fact, it's not that they are powerful, but that the people below have already been frightened, and even the three princes have been confined, where do they still have the courage to stand up to the state apparatus?

And after the emperor got the report, he was so angry after looking at it twice, it clearly wrote the three princes and his subordinates embezzled a sum of money, looking at the long list, the emperor felt his head dizzy, so he hung on the spot and passed out.

Judging from the investigation report of the royal agent, in the years when the third prince was responsible for managing the warehouse, he drew three out of ten every time he purchased the goods, that is, he embezzled thirty percent of the total amount, and these thirty percent of the materials were not as good as the warehouse at all, and he was directly transferred to his own manor by the third prince. And his subordinates secretly divided two or three percent of the incoming materials through the means of exchanging the old for the new, which is why there are so many broken goods in the warehouse. In other words, under the actions of the third prince and his subordinates, the huge military warehouse has been half emptied, and the old evil has only taken the other half after so many days of hard work.

It is conceivable how bad the emperor will be when he sees this report, although he has a premonition, but after seeing it, he is still so angry that he almost burst into tears.

After finally calming down, the emperor took a closer look at it, and then frowned and said, "Strange, why is there only 50% of the supplies here?"

"The other half, I don't know where to go!" said the leader of the royal agents in a cold sweat.

"I don't know?" the emperor's eyebrows immediately raised, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Then what use do I want you idiots?"

"Your Majesty forgive me!" the leader of the spies was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Hmph!" the emperor snorted coldly, and then said, "Say, what's going on?"

"Yes!" the leader of the secret agents hurriedly agreed, and then explained helplessly: "According to those who guard the warehouse, the warehouse has indeed been robbed on the front line, and the materials of two or three warehouses have been stolen every time, no matter how they guard it, there is nothing they can do!"

"Do you believe such a superficial lie?" said the Emperor in annoyance.

"The subordinates didn't believe it at first, but then we interrogated dozens of officials, large and small, and hundreds of officers who were guarding the area, and they all said the same thing. Their testimonies were carefully checked by their subordinates, and all the small details matched, and it was clear that they were not lying!" the leader of the secret agents hurriedly explained.

"What? Not lying?" the emperor was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Then what do you think is going on? I really can't imagine anyone who can steal so many materials under the noses of thousands of people!"

"My subordinates have also thought about it carefully, and I think that if I can do this in front of everyone's eyes, there may only be two situations!" The leader of the secret agents explained: "The first one is that there is a master with a large number of spatial rings! Only in this way can he quietly take away so many materials." ”

"But this is too, isn't it?" The emperor immediately smiled bitterly: "Is it possible to get spatial rings in large quantities casually?" You know, even I, the king of a country, don't have even a spatial ring. Even if the whole continent is counted, there are very few people who can get a large number of spatial rings, and I am afraid that the elf king can, but with his identity, he will not be able to steal the military warehouse, right?"

"Yes! My subordinates think so too!" said the leader of the secret agents hurriedly, "If this is not the case, I am afraid that only the second explanation is reasonable!"

"What's the situation?" the Emperor asked hurriedly.

"To put it bluntly, it's still the inner thief, but the inner thief is more clever and can hide from all the guards at once!" explained the leader of the secret agents.

"Is there such a clever thief, how can they steal so many things under the noses of thousands?" the Emperor hurriedly asked.

"To do this, first of all, you need to have a thief who is familiar with the situation of the warehouse, so that the thief can easily use psychedelic drugs to take down the guards, and secondly, you need to have a large number of masters to help!" said the leader of the secret agents solemnly: "If there are some mages who can apply levitation to the materials, plus dozens of master soldiers are responsible for carrying them!

"That's right!" When the emperor heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said: "The mage's levitation technique can make those batches of materials fly, and then let a few soldiers with neat hands and feet push them away, and naturally it can be done quickly!"

"But~" The emperor suddenly frowned again: "A mage who can use the levitation technique to take away so many materials is also an intermediate mage." And the mages of the empire are more arrogant than the other, and tell them to be thieves, is this possible?"

"Ordinary people can't, but some big people can still instruct them to do it!" said the spy leader hurriedly.

"Oh~" The emperor was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Who do you say these people are?"

"Of course you can, needless to say, the other is the Lightning Law Saint, as the leader of the Royal Demon Wizard Regiment, it is obviously easy to assign a few spells to do this!" the leader of the secret agents continued: "In addition, there is the patriarch of the Hercules family, their family has some relationship with the elven clan, so he has a few half-elf mages in his family to worship. ”

"But none of these people you're talking about stealing military supplies, can they?" said the Emperor with a frown.

"Yes, both the Stephen family and the Hercules family have been inherited for hundreds of years, and their family wealth is extremely rich, especially recently they have obtained two rich cities from the Duchy of White Bird, and the family doesn't know how rich they are, so there is no need to steal the military warehouse!"

"Then you said so much, isn't it all nonsense?" said the Emperor immediately in exasperation.

"This~" The leader of the secret agents hesitated for a moment, and finally said fiercely: "Your Majesty, there is another person who also has the ability to order the mage to be a thief, and he is also extremely familiar with the situation in the warehouse!"

"En?" the emperor was taken aback, and then came to his senses: "Are you talking about the third prince? He has this ability, but if he wants to embezzle, he can do it more secretively, why do he do it secretly?"

"Of course, he doesn't want this to be exposed, so those who guard the warehouse must also hide it!" said the leader of the secret agents.

"Oh, why is that?" said the Emperor, puzzled, "I still don't understand why he should be so crazy!"
