Chapter 162 Arrangement
Joaquin's party didn't end perfectly, and a nobleman was beaten up and seriously injured in the city, still in Princeton's Westside Side, much to the disbelief of the sheriffs in the city.
A whole security team surrounded the Joaquin family's mansion, bound to catch the perpetrators, and the effect was too bad for the upper authorities to suppress.
However, to the silence of the sheriff's adults, Tris didn't know if he had broken his brain, and the magician accompanying him in the sheriff's team had obviously given him a simple treatment, but he still couldn't stop talking nonsense.
"A dark shadow, I saw a dark shadow!"
"Ah, I've broken at least two ribs, you shit!"
"Hurry up and arrest someone, he's in this mansion!"
"I'm the nephew of the Marquis of Mister, go catch the murderer!"
。。。。。。
The sheriffs had no intention of paying attention to this unthinkable nobleman, but Terry eventually moved out of his uncle, leaving the sheriff's grown-ups to take care of the poor victim.
Of course, the Joaquin family is not easy to mess with, and the Chengxi Public Security Office is not qualified to search the mansion of an earl, so they can only make a general investigation and do it hastily.
No one doubted that it would be done by the people of the Earl's Court, because it was too obvious that the game of the nobles was not a simple fist fight, and if they were caught, the whole family would probably be sanctioned, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
In the end, after half a day of analysis and discussion, everyone agreed that it was a certain rival of Triss who was looking for revenge, and the sentence "Let you rob me of a woman" as a confession was the main basis.
There are also people who wonder if someone is specifically diverting everyone's attention, but it doesn't matter anymore, the big guys above want results, whether it's right or wrong.
The security office in the west of the city needs to characterize the case before dark, otherwise the upper nobles of the royal capital will question their ability to handle the case.
The case was in an uproar, and in the end, in order to close the case quickly, a poor man was found to settle it for the dead ghost.
Princeton is so big, hundreds of poor people die every day, and who cares about a poor person who no one notices.
It was not until the evening that the troops of the security station withdrew, and the children of the nobles, who had been under house arrest for half a day in disguise, were able to return home.
I thought it was just an ordinary party, but who would have thought that there would be such a new thing, and most of the nobles who had been detained for so long did not complain, but were very interested in discussing with their companions.
Tris has lost face this time, and it is estimated that within a few months, he will become the talk and laughing stock of the nobles after dinner.
"Joaquin, I'm leaving!"
"Bye~"
"Joaquin, see you next time!"
"Goodbye"
"Welcome back!"
"Okay. ”
It was dark, and many of the nobles left Joaquin's house.
These children of the nobility were the first to be suspected, but they were the first to be expelled.
There is no fool in the aristocracy, and who would choose to use his fists instead of his brains, unless he is not a qualified nobleman.
Of course, this is one of the reasons, and the other main reason is that when Tris was beaten, all the nobles present were in the garden, and everyone had an alibi.
Including Locke.
"Actually, you don't have to, my dear. Angelina leaned on Locke's shoulder and whispered.
"Hmph, he dared to scold you and give you a face, I didn't kill him directly and count him as good luck. Locke reassured.
"Stupid!" On the other side, Joaquin looked at the couple who showed affection for each other, and snorted coldly in disagreement.
An alibi requires at least three people to do it, and Locke's proof is done by Angelina, Joaquin, and Dinny together.
Angelina and Dini helped, and Locke understood, but he didn't expect that Joaquin, a woman, would help him.
"I'm also a disguised vent of evil spirit, and I don't really want to save you. Joakin crossed his arms and turned his face to the side and said haughtily.
"Always, thank you!" Locke said this sentence after holding it for a long time.
At the security station in the west of the city, nearly 300 soldiers surrounded her family all afternoon, and Joaquin had an earl father, who was also greatly affected.
In addition, Tris suffered such a big loss in her family, most of them would give their hatred to Joaquin, and it is reasonable that Locke owes Joaquin a favor this time.
"Don't thank me, just treat Angelina well, I won't send it off. "Joaquin stepped on crystal heels and strode away, there was such a big thing in the mansion, and she still had something to do.
"Let's go. Angelina was afraid that Locke would be angry with Joaquin, so she pulled Locke with one hand and Dani with the other, and walked out of Joaquin's house.
This is Angelina thinking too much, Locke is not an impulsive person, every decision and behavior he makes is implemented after his own careful consideration, he owes Joaquin a favor now, and of course he will not do anything if he loses money.
It was quiet in the carriage, and Angelina grabbed Locke with one hand, not knowing what she was thinking.
Dani kept her head down, and only occasionally when she raised her head, she would look at Locke curiously.
After a long time, I arrived at Daini's house, "Daini, goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
Angelina and Dinie, the little sisters, waved goodbye.
When Dini entered her house, the carriage set off again.
"Don't be so impulsive in the future!" As soon as the outsiders were gone, Angelina immediately lost her previous quiet and ladylike, and pinched Locke's arm fiercely.
"Oops!" Locke pretended to be in pain, and he sensed that Angelina wasn't straining.
"Ahh Saying that, Angelina anxiously looked at the area where Locke had just been pinched by her, and when she looked up and saw Locke looking at her with a smile, Angelina knew that she was being tricked by him.
"Nasty!" Angelina gave Locke another look, this time with a dead hand.
No matter how hard Angelina tried, Locke, a low-level attendant, would not feel anything, but he took advantage of the situation to pick up Angelina, put her on his lap, and kissed him emotionally.
The two were in the carriage and kissed passionately.
On Sunday, Locke spent a rare day at home, lying on a wooden chair in the yard, Locke was like an old man, and next to him was the intimate Xia Qian fanning him.
Princeton in March wasn't hot at all, so let's just say this guy was too good.
"How about I find something for you to do?" Locke asked softly, touching Xia Qian's hair.
"Okay!" Xia Qian has been very bored recently, although she has learned the O'Moore language with Locke and others, she rarely goes out, and only when Locke is accompanied will she have some interest in going out.
"How about finding you a school?" Locke asked, he didn't really want Xia Qian to continue to do business now, they had just been in Princeton for a month, and they didn't know anything, and they were afraid that it would cause some unnecessary trouble.
It's no better than when I was in Charlotte, when it was covered by the caravans of Locke and Baron Kedozi.
"Okay. Xia Qian thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement. She is actually very similar to Locke, she doesn't like to learn anything from textbooks, and is only interested in things that can actually help her.
"Then I'll ask Grace tonight. Locke snapped his fingers.
Christine is 14 years old, and when Grace was in Faustin, she wanted to find her a school or teacher, but she never had the opportunity, and now in the Omore Empire, there are countless schools of all kinds, just Princeton, in addition to the Royal Academy, there are several schools.
Grace has already picked several of them, and she will be able to make a decision right away, and when the time comes, she will be able to add Xia Qian to it, just in time to get together with Christine.
These schools are all ordinary schools, and it is unrealistic to learn vindictiveness and magic like Locke and Angelina, and you can only learn some ordinary knowledge. Most of them are arithmetic and the literature and history of the O'Moore Empire.
It's better to have something to do than to be idle at home, Locke plans to add his sister Leah to it, these days Leah is reading books at home in addition to embroidery, and she is more homely than Xia Qian, so it's not a way to go on like this.
"Study?" Leah was surprised for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Okay." ”
"You go with Christine and Xia Qian. Locke added.
"Yes. "Leah already knew what Xia Qian's relationship was with him.
"Santa Academy of Sciences, go to class tomorrow. Locke reminded.
"Okay. Leah is much easier to talk than Christine, and Locke remembers that when he looked for Christine during the day and asked the little girl to go to class, Christine cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, and almost didn't tear down the house.
Fortunately, the little girl finally listened to this brother, but Locke promised that he would have to pick up Christine and them home two days later.
