Chapter 1022 253. Good Assassin
Let Marquis Barr relax a little. They did not drag the shadow out, but Olmei stood at the front, holding up a copy of "Rikan" which was just released and still warm. "Your Glory", read out one of the articles:
"Since the kingdom moved to the west coast, the decree to rebuild the kingdom promulgated by the Speaker of Parliament has arisen in the new land..."
Reading this paragraph does not count. Annan held up the newspaper and said, "Barr, are you familiar with this article?"
Not only is it not unfamiliar, Marquis Barr still remembers it.
They provided the words of praise that Marquis Barr needed but could not say, and offered a generous price - Barr did not pay the royalties, but they offered the money, and only a fool would refuse.
“What happened to it?”
Marquis Barr was keenly aware of the problem and did not answer directly.
Annan circled the first word of each paragraph in the article, and together they read: The Free City will destroy the Kingdom.
Amidst the uproar of the crowd, Annan shouted coldly: "This is a code!"
"I investigated the businessman who signed this article. He is doing things for Liberty City!"
"This...this doesn't mean anything! We just published an article praising the Chairman..." Marquis Barr Start sweating.
"What if you took their money?"
"Ouch——"
Screams suddenly sounded beside him, and an old woman fell in pain On the ground, he was asking for help from the people around him: "My waist...someone can help me."
The inexplicable appearance of the old woman among the soldiers of the Purifying Court shocked everyone, and Annan, who had a strong desire to help the old woman up, had reflexively reached out to help.
The pain on the old woman's face suddenly disappeared, and she sneered and said: "Marquis Balto, I say hello to you!"
While Marquis Balto was stunned, he pulled out the dagger in his arms and stabbed Annan. chest.
In terms of the meaning of warning, what could be a better warning to everyone than assassinating the Marquis’s enemies in front of the Marquis in public?
The dagger had already pierced Annan's uniform, poking a hole, but the light of the magic shield suddenly lit up in the assassin's surprise. He flicked the dagger in his hand, and then Maria rushed over and met the assassin. Fight together. Two living ropes wrapped around the assassin one after another.
The assassin was not good at fighting head-on, and his end was already doomed when he failed in the assassination and was unable to escape.
And what he said became strong evidence that Marquis Barr had a problem.
Annan was thoughtful. Always letting "oneself" come forward will be ineffective if used too much. This trick seems to be very effective... Breaking away from his thoughts, Annan looked at the desperate Marquis Barr: "Barr Montreal, now I am free by collusion." City, arrest you for assassinating kingdom officials."
Marquis Barr and the assassin were taken away, Annan asked the remaining people to seal the newspaper office, and no one was allowed to go out. He found the mage advisors, and sure enough, they were there. A magic ring was found on him.
"We are mages and consultants to the newspaper." They also wanted to use their identities to argue.
"What a coincidence, so am I."
Anan asked his men to catch them and pull off the magic ring without any expression.
The next thing will be easy to handle. There is incriminating evidence in the magic ring, and Marquis Barr has one more crime. If there is no incriminating evidence in the magic ring, the incriminating evidence is inserted.
With so many people watching, and the importance of the newspaper, the news was quickly sent to the palace, and the king summoned Young Master Olme again.
Annan handed over the investigation of the newspaper office to his subordinates and followed the guards to the palace. On the way, he met the military minister who was coming and came to the palace with him.
The young king seemed to have just woken up. He leaned on the armrest of the throne and listened quietly to the news reported, and then asked softly: Baal? Who is it?
Reynardo said: "Your cousin, the person in charge of the Rekaner Glory Newspaper."
"Oh... it's him. I really didn't expect Barr to be the Blade of Freedom... "
"It's really unexpected." Renaldo lowered his head.
Claude wanted to lose his temper, but was too lazy to do so. He just sighed: "Is there anyone else in this kingdom that I can trust?" Annan pursed his lips. Crowe looked at him, as if he had found someone he could trust. Trusted person: "Young Master Olmei, you have done a good job. I will hand over the Purification Court to you."
"You must live up to the king's trust!"
Before it was over, Crowe thought of something else and asked with some interest: "Are you interested in going to the battlefield and fighting the Blade of Freedom head-on? "
"This is my honor!" Annan puffed up his chest, "But please allow me to wipe out the new royal capital before rushing to the battlefield!"
"Okay..."
The king leaned back on the throne with joy, becoming more and more satisfied with Annan, and even really trained Annan as a future parliamentarian, and rewarded Annan with titles, treasures, and... a princess.
"Do you have someone you like?"
"Your Majesty, I'm embarrassed to be like this..." Annan said helplessly.
“What are you sorry for?”
Reynardo replied for Annan: “He is sorry because you gave him too many rewards and he was not prepared.”
The king smiled carelessly and said: "This is a reward for the warriors who are loyal to the kingdom."
Claude is so sensible, Annan could not go too far and softened slightly: "Then how does your majesty want me to deal with Barr? Marquis...? "
"Business matters. Not even my uncle dares to assassinate me."
Cloe showed an attitude of indifference.
Annan knew what to do.
...
Coming out of the palace, Annan had transformed into the Young Viscount Olme. Thinking that it only took him a dozen days to go from commoner to viscount, I have to sigh with emotion.
It’s not that I lamented the rapid promotion, but that the kingdom was at its end, and the nobles began to send money away as if they didn’t need money, just to maintain stability.
Annan felt like returning home when he returned to the dungeon, but the home of the Purifying Court made him slightly less comfortable... After all, there was a dangerous stranger sitting in the house.
When Annan came to Marquis Barr's cell, he was...crying.
"Woooooo..."
The soft sobs echoing in the dungeon made people's hair stand on end. Annan asked helplessly: "Why are you crying?"
Marquis Barr was crying like a little girl. : "I just want to do what I like, why do you all stop me..."
"Where was your courage when you assassinated me? Where was your courage when you slandered Liberty City?"
However, Barr couldn't listen to what he said, so Annan had to get straight to the point: "Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Annan, Annan Reeves."
The cry stopped, and Barr raised his head: "Who are you?"
"Annan."
"No matter how much you deceive me, I have never colluded with Liberty City." Barr planned to continue Crying in grievance.
"Do you want to do something for me?" Annan had to interrupt him again: "There is no eternal kingship. The Kingdom of Ruikan'er is not worthy of your allegiance, and the king who allowed you to be captured is not worthy either... Your ability should be used where it should be used, and where you should be valued."
Annan used his charm, and Barr's cry gradually weakened and turned into a huffing and puffing.
