Chapter 926 157. Capture the ruins of Solondor
Everyone looked strange.
Only Annan asked Ou Lin in a low voice: "What is a miscellaneous blood?"
"It is an illegitimate child born to a non-noble, a servant, or a commoner."
Annan this Only then did he say "No wonder" in a slow beat. No wonder Issa chose not to keep anyone alive... The conflict between pure blood and hybrid is deep-rooted.
Mengsong actually thought that he could control this "bastard".
The murderer has been caught, and all that remains is what to do with him.
Janice said that the etiquette department would hold him in custody. Because both the deceased and the murderer were from the Kingdom of Ruikan and had special status, Isaac should be sent back to the Kingdom of Ruikan.
Issa, who had originally obeyed, raised his head at this moment and struggled: "You can't put me back! They will torture me to death... Annan! I will kill them for you, let me go to you City! I also know many shameless secrets of the kingdom——"
Everyone's eyes focused on Annan, and he said after a moment of silence: "Do you think I will thank you?"
"What...?" Isa was stunned.
Aren’t Mengsong and the others worthy of death? Maybe. But Annan simply dislikes the method of assassination, and -
"Although he is not ashamed of Mengsong's character, he should trust you, right? Until the moment he was killed by you from behind, he I firmly believe you can do it."
Issa was stunned, and suddenly his veins were exposed and he roared: "Annan! You are no different from those nobles! Damn it, why are you-"
Janice cast a spell to shut him up before he could say anything worse.
Oulin was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person..."
"Those words? I lied to him." Annan shrugged, "I just didn't want to get into trouble. Montreal was the one who died. The person who did this is also a member of the Montreal family. Wouldn’t it be better for me to stand on the shore and watch the excitement?”
They walked out of the big house, and Olin said thoughtfully: “Do you think he is talking about it? Are you telling the truth?”
“Is there a problem?”
“He said it too happily, as if... he chose to reveal a secret to hide a bigger secret.”
"It depends on your interrogation skills."
On the other side, Janice extended an invitation to Barron: "I will do what I say. Newman, tomorrow I will write a letter of recommendation for Barron to re- "Joined."
Before city guard Newman could be happy, Barron shook his head and refused: "No, being a city guard means patrolling all day long, and I can't afford to offend the nobles I encounter, so I'll just be one." The drunkard is better..."
Janice frowned and said: "I don't know what happened to you in the past, but your ability should not be buried-"
"What's wrong, Janice? Sister." Annan came over and asked.
Janice's slightly mean cheek suddenly came to life and she briefly told the story.
"He is a talent."
"I have a suggestion. Since he is unwilling to return to the City Guards, let him be a consultant. If a case arises, let him follow him. Go ahead and pay me some reward."
Annan looked at Barron again, "To thank you for helping me clear my name in a few hours... When the commercial street opens in the future, the pub will be free for you... Here. How about half price?"
"You are really a generous nobleman." The old man with rosacea shook his head and saluted Annan. "If you are attacked one day, I will help you solve the case for no money."
"Then it's settled." Annan smiled, not caring about the drunken Barron's offense.
Annan said goodbye to Janice and followed Olin back to the manor.
Olmedo was waiting in the lobby. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them coming back. He looked at Annan and said, "It's okay, he doesn't seem to have suffered."
"Why didn't he suffer? I was forced to read in the cell for a long time." Olmedo looked at Olin: "Can you keep him in jail for a few more days?"
...
The next day, Annan, who was going to discuss the commercial street, learned bad news: Isaac died in the cell.
Olin said it was just an accident, and no one expected that he would commit suicide...
Issa's behavior of simply confessing his crimes obviously does not fit the image of a criminal who is not afraid of life and death. It seems that he is really I don't want to go back to the Kingdom of Ruikan'er anymore.
Whatever secrets were hidden behind this "bastard" disappeared with his death.
After washing and having breakfast, Annan went out to do the last thing before going home.
"Lord Annan, I am responsible for discussing commercial street matters with you."
At the back door of the Moonlight Opera House, Annan met with officials from the Imperial Ministry of the Interior.
The official of the Ministry of Interior enthusiastically introduced several documents in his hand: "Starlight Wine Street is located next to Fertonshe. If you choose this place, there will be no shortage of customers; there is also File Road, which is where outsiders come to Montreal. The only way to pass through the mountain——"
The streets introduced by the officials are all good, but Annan has his own heart.
"Didn't Olin tell you? What I want is here." Annan pointed to the ruins around him and said, "Look, it would be such a waste to abandon such a good place."
"Uh... ..." The official's face stiffened for a moment, and he remained polite: "I'm afraid not, you'd better take a look at these again..."
"This is different from what was promised." Annan's smile gradually faded. , I’m not sure whether it was the officials who made their own decision or Olin didn’t make it clear.
"Lord Annan, the ruins of Solondor are related to some of the empire's past, and it is impossible to hand them over to outsiders."
It seems to be the former.
"I only want the ruins of Solondur. If you want to talk but it doesn't count, I will let...Sister Elies talk to you."
Annan rejected the document handed over by the official, feeling strange...Ou Lin didn't stop her, which meant that the royal family no longer cared about the past. Who was causing trouble?
"Sorry, it really can't be done." The official ignored Annan's threat and said with a polite smile.
“Then I don’t accept it.”
“Well, if you change your mind, you are welcome to come to the Ministry of Interior to select land at any time.”
Officials returned to the Interior Ministry and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Annan is not as difficult as the legend says, and is even easy to deal with.
"How was it? Did you meet Annan?" his colleague asked him.
"Well, he wanted the ruins, but I didn't give it to him, and then he said something about Airies..."
"Airies?" His colleague Thoughtful.
“Do you know him?”
"I think I've heard of it... Oh, I think about it, the ancestor of the royal family has this name." After saying that, his colleague saw his pale cheeks and started to tremble.
"What's wrong with you?!"
......
"Your Excellency Annan, this is the title deed to your Solundor Garden. Because it is still in ruins at the moment, so Before the commercial street is built, we will exempt you from high local taxes and notify the Ministry of Finance to exempt you from commercial taxes for the first three years of construction——"
The empire has always been criticized as bloated, bureaucratic, greedy, and inefficient. The Ministry of the Interior suddenly burst into unimaginable efficiency, and it was too late for Annan to shout, "Old ancestor, I was bullied by people from the Ministry of Interior."
