Chapter 1006 237. Promotion, wealth and beauty
Inner city, Ebbett Manor.
The housekeeper walked back and forth, waiting for good news from the person who took action.
It turned out that it was not the assassin who came back, but the person who stayed outside to tell the news.
"Caught on the spot, assassination failed!?"
The butler screamed, as if the sky was falling, and knocked on the baron's study door in despair.
"What are you afraid of?" Baron Ebert noticed the butler's uneasiness.
"Master, they discovered us and the assassination failed..."
"Idiots, how could you do this?!" Baron Ebert sat up in shock
The housekeeper said in astonishment: "Master, didn't you ask someone to assassinate you...?"
Baron Ebbett yelled: "I mean how could anyone find out!"
I thought it would be easy to teach a young guard captain a lesson, but I didn't expect that a group of losers couldn't even do this!
"Are they dead?"
"That guy is probably still alive..."
"I mean our people!"
The butler's heart was hanging: "I don't know..."
Baron Ebbett turned around a few times, sat back at the desk and wrote a letter to the butler: "Send it to Sheriff Millburn, and He said it was a misunderstanding, don’t screw it up again!”
“Okay, sir.”
The housekeeper took the letter and hurriedly left the study.
Baron Ebbett felt tired. His noble Baron actually had to wipe the butt of his subordinates...
At this time, the butler who had just gone out came back again. Baron Ebert asked impatiently: "What are you doing back again?"
"Because this road is blocked."
Annan followed the butler. Entering the study, he said with a chuckle.
“Who are you?”
Baron Ebert looked at Annan and confirmed that he did not recognize him.
And because Annan had already changed into the uniform of a city guard, he failed to connect this young talent with the despicable captain who sabotaged and made money.
"Master Olme." Annan noticed that Baron Ebert was even unfamiliar with this name, and added: "That's the person you want to assassinate."
"It turns out to be You...but your clothes..." Baron Ebbett was elusive.
"Sorry, just before the assassination, I was promoted to city guard officer." Annan's men rushed into the study from behind, "So according to the laws of the kingdom, Baron Ebert assassinated the kingdom officials, suspected and free The blade is involved, please follow us back to the city guard station to investigate."
The man who was promoted to captain grabbed Baron Ebert, but he broke away: "Let me go!"
"Master Olmei!" He glared at Annan, but when he saw Annan with a gentle smile and the city guards gathering in the corridor behind him, his tone softened slightly: "This is just a misunderstanding. I and your Milburn police The official relationship is good..."
Annan tilted his head: "Write down what he said, I suspect Sheriff Milburn was involved."
Baron Ebbett was surprised, and the clerk hesitated: "Is this..."
"I will be promoted to Sheriff sooner or later. How can they make room for me if they don't abdicate?"
And this guy is on Renaldo's Free Blade list. If he's not there, then there's no need to be polite to him.
"Who are you!" Baron Ebbett had already regarded Annan as a certain Gray Glove.
"I said it, Master Olmei."
Annan waved his hand and signaled his men to take the people out, and he was going to start searching. Baron Ebbett's lips trembled slightly, and it was only then that he realized that he might be in trouble...
The baron, the housekeeper, and the servants and guards of the manor were all taken to the city guard. , the next step is the exciting search session.
Annan first asked Maria to find the property hidden in the manor, and then summoned Ilimoyas after she couldn't find it at all.
"We will share the property found in the manor thirty-seven."
"Only seven?" Ilimoyas said.
“Seven shares are mine, and three shares are yours.”
Relying on the Dragon Clan’s talent for sensing treasures, Ilimoyas found the treasures from everywhere as if she knew them in advance. : Murals that look worthless but are actually historic, silver coins hidden in armor sculptures, and even coins lost under carpets.
Ilimoyas finally found property worth about 300 gold coins. After receiving her share of 100 gold coins, Ilimaya said: "I won't leave."
"No, you are too obvious."
As long as Ilimaya As soon as Si takes action, everyone will guess her identity - after all, Annan has a "Blue Dragon Knight" among his sadistic titles outside.
After sending away Ilimayas, Annan dared to dig out the spoils: Unexpectedly, a small baron actually had 400 jinnars, and the remaining property, land deeds, and artworks were worth 1,300 jinnars in total. Kinnar...
Annan pocketed the money, and if he needed to cash it in, he planned to hand it over to Sheafield.
Walking out of the Ebbett Manor... no, it was already the Olmey Manor. Annan led the city guards back to the station in a mighty manner.
Compared with the guard captain, the number of soldiers commanded by the city guard increased from ten to one hundred, and at the same time, he had a specific jurisdiction. The most important thing is that the city guard has a certain degree of autonomy and no longer needs to be ordered by his superiors - although Annan does not need to obey in the first place.
The bureaucrats, or the bureaucrats of the Ruikaner Kingdom, are destined not to assign jurisdictions to Annan so quickly, and they will steal the fat from other city guards. Annan was not in a hurry and interrogated Baron Ebert first.
It is irrefutable evidence that he colluded with the Freedom Blade, even if he said it was a lie...who would believe it? Who can believe it?
Everyone wants a share of the success of seizing the "Freedom Blade", even Renaldo doesn't mind.
In order to protect himself, Baron Ebert named many people, but Annan warned: "Don't name other people. Now you are hurting whoever you name."
Annan needs Baron Ebert to say There is no need to testify against more people - just confessions cannot bring down a bunch of nobles. Annan's move was regarded as a gesture of goodwill by Sheriff Milburn. At the meeting that afternoon, he took the initiative to allocate Annan three streets where there was money to be made.
However, Annan declined the overture and volunteered to change to the three streets with the most chaos and highest crime rate.
If there is no crime, where is the merit?
The matter of Baron Ebert has been settled, and he is destined not to see the sun tomorrow. Colluding with the Freedom Blade, let alone a baron, even an earl would have to have his skin peeled off.
And Annan, who personally participated in the capture of the Liberty Blade and the disposal of Baron Ebbett, was suddenly known to everyone in the city guard, and was in the limelight
In the evening, Annan planned to go to Shearfield to deal with the property first, and then go While inspecting the jurisdiction, a fellow city guard officer came over.
“What’s the matter?”
“Sheriff Milburn is going to hold a celebration party for you.”
“No time.”
Annan continued to walk forward. He doesn't plan to get too close to Sheriff Milburn...he won't have the heart to do it once he gets acquainted.
"But many unmarried ladies have heard about your heroic deeds and know that you are young and handsome, so they will come to participate..."
Annan stopped.
“When?”
