Chapter 9: Leave with ease
"How's the scene?" asked Ancastrom, who had hurried over, as soon as he got out of the sedan chair and said to Viscount Hall, the commander of the royal guard.
Viscount Hall replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, Master Balevi has used magic to control the entire dormitory, I believe that the thief is still inside, and the minister is preparing to lead someone to search." ”
"Then what are you waiting for!" Ancastrom shouted, pointing to his bedchamber.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Follow me!" Viscount Hall led hundreds of guards towards the ring of fire, and when they were about to reach the ring of fire, the celestial Cid Barevi controlled the ring of fire to open a passage for them to enter.
After Viscount Hall led the guards through the ring of fire quickly, Cid Barevi re-encircled the ring of fire.
"In a group of five, search every corner! If you find something abnormal, immediately warn!" Under the order of Viscount Hall, the royal guards immediately dispersed into the main hall of the dormitory and searched carefully and meticulously, the result was of course nothing, and half an hour later Viscount Hall got the news that no clues were found, except for that damn little note.
"Have you gotten anything of value from a maid or a chamberlain?" asked the unrelenting Viscount Hall to his subordinates who had come to report.
The subordinate shook his head and said: "It's a pity that my lord, we still haven't got any valuable clues, some people said that they were stunned when they only saw a black shadow, and the other part of the people didn't even see the black shadow, in order to prevent the thief from hiding among the maids or internal officials, I asked them to identify each other with people they knew, and as a result, the maids and internal officials in the main hall all knew each other, and they were indeed the people who served by His Majesty's side." ”
"You mean to say that damn Lina Imbas ran away, under the noses of a saint-level mage and hundreds of royal guards?!" asked a slightly angry Viscount Hall, grabbing his men by the collar.
The subordinate who was sprayed with saliva said helplessly: "I'm afraid that's exactly the case, my lord." ”
"Eh......!" Viscount Hall, who was like a deflated ball, pushed away his men in frustration and walked towards Ancastrom, who was waiting for news of him outside, thinking to himself, "How should I explain this to His Majesty?"
Seeing Viscount Hall's face, Ancastrom felt bad, but he still had a glimmer of hope and asked, "What's wrong?
Viscount Hall hung his head and replied, "I'm sorry Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, and no trace of the thief has been found, and only this note has been found in the secret room under Your Majesty." After speaking, he took out the note and handed it out with both hands.
"Smack!" Ancastrom didn't take the note, but slapped Viscount Hall in the face and scolded: "Rubb! It's all a bunch of rubbish! My inner money and secret room have been stolen one after another, and you haven't even noticed the shadow of the thief, what's the use of me raising you?!"
Viscount Hall knelt down on Ancastrom's knees in shame and said, "It's the incompetence of the minister, please surrender your majesty." ”
The angry Ancastrom kicked Viscount Hall on the shoulder again and said loudly: "If the crime can recover the stolen things, I will definitely punish you immediately, and now you immediately lead all the guards to turn the palace upside down, even if it is digging three feet into the ground, you will find out the person who stole the things for me!"
"Yes!" Hearing that the emperor would not condemn himself now, Viscount Hall immediately came to his senses, answered loudly, and then ran to his subordinates to distribute the task.
"Blue!" Ancastrom shouted, turning her head.
"The minister is here. Earl Blu, the commander of the city defense, hurriedly ran over and bowed down to wait for the order.
"Let your people search the whole city! Arrest all suspicious people, this daring Lina must have an accomplice to assist her! You must guard the city gates, if you let go of any person, you don't have to be an earl!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Thomson!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. "Count Thomson, who was in charge of the intelligence of the Valhalla Empire, stepped forward.
Ancastrom whispered in his ear: "That Lina Imbas can accurately find my secret room, I suspect that there is her spy in the palace, and the spy is likely to be by my side, you must find it secretly." ”
"Rest assured, I'll find out as soon as possible. Earl Thomson replied in the same soft.
"Hmph! After explaining this, Ancastrom didn't want to stay here any longer, turned around and got into the sedan chair, and left surrounded by a large crowd of people.
With Ancastrom's order, 30,000 wolf-like city guard soldiers appeared in full armor all over the streets, and the entire city of Ponsar fell into chaos, and the festive atmosphere was instantly cleaned up with murderous energy.
The masses who did not know the truth speculated with each other, and soon after the rumors spread, some said that the emperor was assassinated, some people took the opportunity to rebel, and some said that the queen was reinvented, which was obviously blind guessing, and the person who said this was immediately twisted to the city guards, in short, there was everything to say, and everything was unreliable.
But when someone says that the palace is not stolen by someone, but no one believes it, it is no wonder that no one believes it, the class hierarchy on the mainland is strict, and the majesty of the ruling class cannot be offended, this article is written into the codes of all countries, even the ancestral temple also admits it, not that no one has stolen the things of the nobles, but except for some lucky ones who escaped, the vast majority of people were all united by all the nobles to find out and kill with the most cruel punishment.
Lina Inbas, a recent newcomer to the aristocracy, has also attracted attention, but people are interested in when she was caught, what punishment was used, and there are even people who make a bet on the life and death of this thief.
When the city guards were arresting everyone everywhere and putting themselves in danger, Ouyang Yu was lying in the dormitory arranged by the palace and fell asleep, and the next morning, she found Frederick and said that she should go back to Jinbo Palace after the celebration.
was disturbed by a lot of troubles caused by Ouyang Yu's movements, and Frederick, who was upset, agreed without saying a word.
Ouyang Yu hummed a little song and walked on the road of the palace, from time to time there was a wave of anxious royal guards walking quickly past her, the small hole in the Jinbo Palace was no longer usable, and she was found by the dutiful guards last night, but she had a better way, all the way north to the north gate of the palace, the guards guarding the door stopped her and asked: "Which palace?
"I'm from the Authority, and I'm out there to buy things. Ouyang Yu smiled and said to the guards who were asking, and at the same time, the demagogic heart was also released.
"Oh, I see. The guard, with glazed eyes, turned to his companion and said, "It's okay to check, let it go." The other guards, who were also controlled by magic, opened the side door next to the north gate, and just like that, Ouyang Yu jumped out of the palace with his hands behind his back.
As soon as Ouyang Yu left, Viscount Hall, who came to check the post, asked the guards guarding the door, "Is that little maid from that palace?"
"Lord Hui, she is the maid of the Authority, she went out of the palace to buy things, and she was released after a thorough inspection. ”
"Hmm. Viscount Hall nodded with satisfaction and said: "Your Majesty is angry these days, and those who have left the palace must be carefully checked, otherwise be careful of your skin!"
"Yes, sir. ”
Viscount Hall glanced at the back of Ouyang Yu who was far away and laughed at himself, in the past two days, he was so nervous that even a little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old was suspicious, shook his head and walked towards the next post.
