Chapter 261 The Legacy of the Little Man
"Please calm down, Ms. Futaba." Marshall sighed, with a wry smile on his lips: "I am willing to apologize to you again for my previous gaffe, but I also hope that Don't be blinded by those illusions full of malice and darkness, and analyze this incident with us rationally."
Futaba chuckled: "I have always been very rational, and I just said you farted. It's just out of emotion, well, it's not malicious at all, so you can continue talking."
"Thank you very much." Buffy Marshall gave an elegant gentlemanly salute and took it. Picking up the parchment, he looked around at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "First of all, I want to briefly defend my previous ungraceful self, because before I listened to Miss Futaba's final explanation , those accusations are not convincing at all in my eyes, so whether it is as the current Grand Duke who inherited the surname Marshall, or as an ordinary person who abides by his conscience but is slandered as a slave trader, It is difficult for me to accept every word Miss Futaba said, so I made that gaffe. I hope everyone...especially His Majesty the Emperor Haihan..."
Clever shook his head slightly: " If this was just an honest mistake, Buffy, I remember I had forgiven you just now.”
"But if what little girl Futaba said is true." Grand Duke Baroka stared into the eyes of Grand Duke Marshall, his whole body was like an unsheathed sword: "Then no matter how glorious the surname is, it must be paid for. Pay the price for this heinous evil act!"
The latter nodded seriously: "Of course, I very much agree with your point of view, Vernon, I have noticed something, maybe what I will do next is Guessing and inference are still not enough to prove one's innocence, but things will eventually come to light one day..."
"I can't wait for it to come to light as soon as possible." Futaba knocked on the table impatiently and hummed. : "So please defend yourself quickly. I believe there will be at least one smart person in this room who will not be deceived."
The Grand Duke of Marshall nodded: "No problem, Miss Futaba, I My point of view is very simple, that is, there is something wrong with Benneklaw. The reason why he was willing to be hired by me now seems not to be for money, at least not that kind of money. "
Everyone else is interested. After exchanging glances, everyone is not a fool. The subtext of what Buffy Marshall just said is already very clear...
"Oh?" Futaba raised her eyebrows with interest, and said leisurely while fiddling with a few strands of hair hanging from her shoulders: "You mean Beneclaw did a lot of things under your nose. Bad things, and those have nothing to do with you, right?"
Marshall smiled self-deprecatingly: "This kind of hindsight is really hard to say, and it also proves my previous stupidity, but That's what I mean."
Archduke Simon frowned: "You need to provide evidence, Buffy."
"I just said that Bennet Crow is in two. He broke away from the Marshall family a month ago, and it was already after that when Miss Futaba's team was attacked." Marshall shrugged at Archduke Simon and said slowly: "Many people can provide evidence for this. I had a small dispute with Ban Nei before he left. Later, when the autonomous army searched for victims at the border, no one saw him. So it was obvious that Ban Nei acted alone at that time and was not involved with the Marshall family. It doesn't matter at all."
Futaba glanced at him lazily: "So you mean, what happened to the Fenrir team has nothing to do with you?"
"No, I feel that I have to bear a certain responsibility." Marshall shook his head sadly and sighed: "You were soldiers under my command, and Beneclaw has followed me for many years, so..."
“You don’t have to say it, I’m already bored.”
Futaba stood up and looked at the Grand Duke of Marshall coldly: “Leave it alone Clarify the relationship between himself and Beneclaw, then put all the responsibility on the latter, and then put himself in the position of the 'victim'. He does not deny the authenticity of the slave trade, but he will not admit that kind of thing. It has something to do with myself, changing my identity from 'mastermind' to 'bewitched' or 'deceived', and conjuring up a huge conspiracy that does not exist. In this process He continued to muddy the waters, and even sold some of his collaborators and doglegs to make up for his previous minor 'mistakes', and finally ended the 'mysterious slave-catching group' wandering around the Violet Empire by directing and acting on his own. , with everyone's cooperation and efforts to uncover the so-called conspiracy, and kill some high-level scapegoats, you will still be your Grand Duke of Marshall, and you will receive a little A slave-catching group with a small loss is still a slave-catching group, but we need to be more cautious in our future actions. Ah~ What a perfect ending. I am very impressed with you."
The girl said this quickly and completely. No one was given a chance to interrupt, and after she said the last word, no one stood up to refute or question the above content.
“Well, it’s understandable that you would think so.” Archduke Marshall’s expression froze for a moment, and then he laughed awkwardly: “But I must...”
"You have to clarify yourself, yes, you will do it regardless of emotion or reason." Futaba waved his hands with some boredom, and said in a deep voice at a much higher volume than Marshall: "But I am already bored, That’s why I finished the rest of the nonsense for you. Now, let’s skip the boring wrangling, save some words, and go straight to the topic.”
The Grand Duke Dantès was silent for a long time. He shook his head: "Ms. Shuangye, you are only a participant in this meeting, not the host. Please don't be so arbitrary."
"That's right." Archduke Simon also nodded in agreement: "We You should listen to what Buffy has to say."
Grand Duke Hussein sneered twice: "Don't be carried away by anger. In my opinion, Buffy is much calmer than you now."
Even Grand Duke Baroka and Grand Duke Crystal Wolf nodded.
"Thank you all." The calm smile returned to the face of the Grand Duke Marshall again, and he smiled: "Then now I will..."
[In this case, there is not much room left for him. Well, as long as we simply rule it out...]
"If you are going to suggest that everyone go look at the evidence after saying a bunch of nonsense." Futaba interrupted him again and raised his eyebrows: " I don’t have any objections. The information left by Captain Ned is in the Red Garden, and we can leave at any time.”
Marshall looked at Futaba in astonishment, and after a few seconds he coughed lightly. He actually spread his hands and said: "You are right, I did plan this. Through the information you provided, Ms. Futaba, I recalled some things that I had ignored before, so I planned... Haha, I originally thought you "I won't agree."
Duke Hussein was stunned: "Buffy?"
The Grand Duke of Marshall shrugged: "That's what I thought."
"I agree." Futaba nodded briskly and smiled at everyone: "What do you think?"
>Grand Duke Simon folded the parchment in front of him and put it into his pocket: "I think since Buffy and Ms. Futaba both think there is no problem, then the sooner we see the evidence, the better."
Other Lords They all nodded.
"So, what do you think, Your Majesty?" Futaba turned his head and glanced at Clairvaux, who was thoughtful, and asked with a smile: "Is it okay?"
The latter stood up and said slowly: "That's it, let's leave for the Red Garden now. Is everyone okay?"
The Grand Duke of Marshall smiled and said: "I am very happy. I think about it when the time comes. There must be many..."
"Your Majesty." Futaba suddenly bowed to Emperor Clairvaux and said softly: "For the sake of safety, I have a small additional request. "
Clever glanced at her lightly: "Tell me."
"I hope there will be no interference from anyone on the journey from here to the Red Garden." Futaba smiled while adjusting the collar of his robe: "So can you ask your guards to escort us? As for the entourage of the Grand Dukes, they can go back to their temporary residence in the Imperial Capital and wait for a while." Fei Grand Duke Ernan looked up at Futaba in surprise: "You mean to prevent us from contacting our guards?"
"This is only temporary." Futaba shrugged, wagging his index finger and said: "I said it, just to be on the safe side. Didn't we just see the strength of the Royal Guard? This is not It won’t affect everyone’s safety.”
Grand Duke Baroka laughed: “I have no objection.”
Grand Duke Crystal Wolf also nodded after hesitating for half a second: “It’s acceptable. "
"Well, Ms. Futaba's words are not unreasonable." Emperor Clairvaux clapped his hands gently, and then whispered into the air in front of him: "Let all the princes wait in the Zijiu Hall. The entourage outside returned to their station first and said that we had something important to discuss. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
A hoarse voice sounded at the entrance, and a mirror-faced man in a purple robe suddenly appeared in front of everyone, bowed to Clairvaux, then turned and left. .
[It doesn’t show anything strange. I don’t know if it’s too idealistic or there is a communication method that I don’t know about, but it doesn’t matter, I will slowly push you to a dead end...]
< br> Futaba looked at Buffy Marshall who was chatting casually with Grand Duke Dantès not far away, covered her small mouth and laughed softly, her eyes hidden behind the reflection of the mirror were full of malice and confusion.
A moment later
"All your followers have left, Your Majesty."
The man in purple wearing a mirror mask reappeared at the entrance of the Zijiu Hall and said respectfully to Emperor Clairvaux: "The third and seventh teams of the Violet Mirror Guards are "Stand by outside."
"Thank you." Emperor Clairvaux nodded slightly, then took the lead and walked out: "Let's go"
Fangye trotted to follow. Behind Clairvaux, next to him, I don’t know when The Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf came over, and the latter asked in a whisper-like voice in Futaba's ear: "Are you really sure, sister Futaba, is the Grand Duke of Marshall really..."
"Seeing To be honest, sister Emmeline." Futaba smiled easily. , glanced at Buffy Marshall who was walking behind with the two Grand Dukes Simon and Fernand, and whistled a little: "I sincerely hope that he can still smile so happily when he leaves the Red Courtyard, If he can get out~"
The nine people walked out of the long corridor. Two rows of identically dressed royal guards were waiting outside. Including the old man who came with Emmeline, all the people who came with their lords Has disappeared.
Futaba nodded with satisfaction, then left the Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf, walked to Buffy Marshall, and winked at the ugly-faced Grand Duke in front of him: "Can I walk next to you? ”
“……”
……
Twenty minutes later
Saramoon, Red Courtyard
The internal affairs manager of the Fire Claw Territory, Lewen, a half-orc of the Fox Tribe, came out with a smile on his face. There was no look of surprise on his face. He couldn't tell the difference with his words. The wrong aristocratic etiquette greets everyone in front of you, especially He greeted warmly: "You adults are here to see the evidence, right? We have already prepared it~ Come on, come on, the file left by Mr. Ned is inside. Well, His Majesty's guards can rest in the front yard. Would you like some tea, fruit plate or something?”
"Just keep the Mirror Guards outside the Crimson Garden. They should have come after dinner." Emperor Clairvaux shook his head and looked at the fox man in front of him with amusement: "Long time no see, Manager Lewin, did you know we were coming?"
< br>Lewin bowed deeply to Clairvaux: "Yes, Your Majesty, Miss Futaba said that if Grand Duke Buffy Marshall does not directly confess his guilt, then you will definitely come over."
"Really..."
Clairvaux nodded noncommittally and said softly: "Then lead the way."
So everyone followed Lewen to a hut in the deepest part of the Red Garden, where dozens of armed soldiers were stationed there. Toothed Fireclaw warrior.
"I'm waiting for you all outside. If you need anything, you can call me at any time." Levin stopped in front of the house, turned around and smiled at everyone. His eyes paused slightly when he glanced at the Grand Duke of Marshall. After a moment: "The Fire Claw Leader has been waiting for this day. "It's been too long."
The latter smiled unnaturally: "The truth will eventually come out..."
"Let's stop talking nonsense." Futaba took the lead and stepped forward. , pushed open the door: "Everyone please."
The furnishings of the cabin are very simple. There is only a rather large wooden table with a stack of parchment scrolls that look obviously old. There are nine chairs around it. As Bro said, Futaba had long expected that everyone would leave like this today.
"These are all the legacies left by Captain Ned." Futaba walked to the wooden table, turned around and smiled at everyone: "He is a little man, a real little man, a real little man. A little guy struggling desperately in front of a big shot, a little guy who even died in a very tacky way, and even caused three little guys like him to lose their lives..."
She raised her eyebrows and hit her lightly. A snap of fingers.
A few invisible breezes blew by, unfolding the rolls of extremely cheap records on the table...
"And I just want this to belong to Ned and Fen. Lille’s legacy plays a role to some extent, such as destroying a high-ranking Grand Duke or something, that’s all~”
The girl's eyes, which showed no emotion at all and were full of chaos, stared at Buffy Marshall.
“It has nothing to do with law, conscience, or morality, just because I will be happier if I do this.”
