Chapter 1047 278. Digging with the Chairman
Sitting in his seat, Annan leaned forward slightly, which meant that he was listening carefully.
“Do you know Princess Sayles?”
Sure enough, this is what happened...
“I’ve heard a little about it.”
"Princess Seles is the king's sister. She was imprisoned in the dungeon because she was involved in the case of the second prince..."
The parliamentarian talked about the secrets of the royal family in the lounge where he and Annan were the only ones.
Annan has heard these things told by Princess Sails herself, but this time from another angle.
In Princess Sayles's knowledge, she was deliberately abandoned by the kingdom and suffered torture from the rat-men. According to the council leader, this incident was an accident.
Someone deliberately left Princess Sayles to the rat people, or in other words, left Princess Sayles with pure royal blood to the rat people, or... left the bloodline of the Montreal Golden Family to the rat people. ……
This terrible indescribable thing - from neglect and forgetfulness to the presence of rat spies at the top of the kingdom - Annan has known about it for a long time, isn't it the king?
"I need you to investigate, find out the culprit who betrayed the princess, and dig out the rat spies lurking at the top. This matter is far more important than catching a few Freedom Blades." The council leader looked solemnly. To the east, as if through the wind, snow and mountains, one could see the ruins of the old royal capital.
Annan had confusion on his face, and he was not pretending.
Wasn’t the Council Chairman corrupted by the rat men like his brother?
But shouldn’t he not have noticed something strange about Crowe?
Or is this two waves of ratmen from different ethnic groups trying to undermine each other?
"Why me?" Annan couldn't help but ask.
"I need someone who is as loyal to the royal family as I am, and that's you."
The Councilor spoke with an approval that would make all the young talents in the kingdom tremble with excitement.
“And you’re good at catching mice.”
Annan could not refute.
"How long will it take for you to find clues?"
"About seven days."
In fact, Annan already has clues, but he can maximize his benefits by not telling them now.
“How many days?”
The Congressman, who originally planned to give Annan a month to investigate, withdrew his distant gaze.
"Uh... five days?" Annan thought the chairman of the parliament was dissatisfied.
The Councilor’s gaze rested deeply on Annan’s face for a moment: “I’m waiting for your good news.”
Annan stood up, turned around, wanted to leave, and then turned around: “ Uh... Chairman, what if someone stops me?"
The Chairman exuded the majesty of a superior: "I will give you an order, and you can ask Agarwal to cooperate with the investigation."
"That's not necessary..." Although it was nice to give orders to Agarwal, Annan was worried that he wouldn't be able to control his fist and hit that ugly face.
"Can you give me a talisman so that I can call you for help when I need it? In fact, I have admired you for a long time..."
Annan still has a little fantasy: Orr It seems that Meadow's uncle has not been corrupted and still remembers family ties... What if? What if he could join Liberty City?
That’s 4:4!
The chairman showed a smile: "Okay."
...
"That's it, now the chairman of the parliament is my backer." Annan said with a showy tone and his stunned subordinates.
"Do you think I can become the youngest member of the kingdom?"
The men closed their mouths: "Please wake up, Lord Annan. Do you really plan to have a place in the kingdom?" "
That's what I say, but Annan's status has been promoted so fast that it makes people jealous.
The king's respect is not bad, after all, the king is young. But the Council Chairman is the guardian of the kingdom. The kingdom did not die at the hands of rat men and demons because of the support of the Council Chairman. Even he valued Annan... No young people in the kingdom will feel that "I can do whatever I want" anymore.
Back in his room, Annan opened the portal to Liberty City.
In order to improve efficiency, Olmedo kept a heavy-duty horse in the office to ensure that Annan could see him as soon as he opened the portal.
"Why did you contact me again so soon?"
"Do you know your uncle?" "Have you asked me this once..."
"Because I saw your uncle again." Annan recounted their conversation: "But the point I want to say is not that. You go ask Gale if the Stern clan is right. There is a conspiracy in the empire.”
Olmedo asked Ingrid to ask. Soon after, she came back and said it was true.
"It's actually true..."
Annan said to himself and told Olmedo his guess.
"Notify Mount Montreal first," Olmedo said.
I don’t know if it is a good thing to involve the empire...
It would be okay if the conspiracy of the Kingdom of Ruikaner is confirmed, but I am afraid that the empire will stop the war... There has always been a force within the empire. Prevent Free City from declaring war on the Kingdom.
Annan did not hesitate and contacted Oulin again and told her all his findings and conjectures.
“Help me tell Princess Sales, maybe she can think of who the murderer is.”
"Okay."
Olin's acting style revealed the efficiency of a knight. Later, Oulin returned from the Huanshan Palace Garden with a reply from the palace: Got it.
"Got it?"
"Got it."
It seems that he really only answered one sentence.
This is worth pondering...Does the Empire mean that they know it, or do they already know it?
As for Princess Sails, she provided several names, including a prince.
“Olin, have there been any strange people near the manor recently?”
“They don’t dare.
How blind are you to dare to trouble your ancestors? ?
"I know, I'll ask Xana and the others."
Annan contacted the Waters family of Syltovis. They are collateral bloodlines of the Golden Family, and should also be the targets of the rat people.
At this time, Xian Na and her daughter were staying at the manor.
Their mother got up and left in a hurry as soon as she saw Annan. Annan had to ask Xian Na and Ai Xue if there were any strange things or bad people nearby.
Xianna said that some strangers wandering around the manor did appear, but they disappeared not long after.
"I know."
It seems that the empire also knows, so Annan doesn't need to worry about it...
"Annan! You...when will you come back to see me?"
When she was about to close the portal, Xanna held her hand and asked expectantly.
"I will go back after the war is over." Annan said with a smile.
Finally, telling Olmedo it was nothing to worry about, Annan focused on the rat catcher.
He first compared the names mentioned by Princess Sails with the list, and found a name that overlapped: Graton, the warden of the old royal capital.
Then let’s do some surgery on him first, just in time to deceive others.
......
"Master Olmei is coming for us?"
Graton's eyes widened as he listened to the butler's anxious words.
"Sir, the people that Young Master Olme arrested are all nobles who cooperate with us. Could it be that Milburn bit us out..."
"Who else could it be? ? I really don’t know how to live or die..." Although he said this, Graton believed that he was no match for Master Olme: "Go to Grand Duke Barbatod and ask him to help!"
