Section 359 Investigation
Royal Palace, at 4 o'clock in the morning, all the qualified ministers arrived. Even the old mage, who had always been too lazy to attend court meetings, had to come in person. After all, the matter of assassinating the emperor was too big, and it was so critical that the safety of the country was endangered, so he could not stay out of it.
"What a shame and great humiliation, it is simply a great shame and humiliation for the empire!" After the emperor saw everyone coming, he roared angrily: "The majestic emperor of the empire was assassinated in the capital. The leader of the palace guard who has followed me for decades and several After the news of ten palace guards being killed, what will happen to the Griffin Kingdom?"
Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word, letting the emperor get angry.
"Now that everyone is here, tell me what you think, who wants me to die!" The emperor then asked angrily.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. No one knows who did it. They all became mute for a while.
The emperor, who was already angry, became even more angry when he saw it, so he directly named him: "Didn't the royal spy receive any information in advance?"
When the leader of the royal spy heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, yes, there is no news!"
"Fools, you are all losers!" The emperor immediately cursed: "What's the point of raising you?"
The secret agent leader was scolded bloody, but he did not dare to refute a word and could only kneel on the ground to plead guilty. All my clothes were wet with cold sweat.
"Then do you have any clues?" The emperor calmed down for a moment, and then asked again.
"One thing!" the spy leader said hurriedly: "We have found out that the murderer used four shields as weapons. Judging from the style and inscriptions on the shields, they are all produced by the Stephen family."
"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed when they heard it. Frank was even more elated. If it weren't for the old mage here, he would definitely jump out and say that the matter was related to the Stephen family.
However, after the emperor heard this, he did not doubt the Stephen family. Because their shield production is quite large, and they are all used by low-level troops, they can be obtained easily. In addition, the loyalty of the Stephen family to him is also obvious. Moreover, if the Stephen family really wanted to kill, there would be no need to use shields at all. As long as the old mage brings 12 gold puppets, it can be completely solved. So the emperor just frowned and continued directly: "Then what can you find out based on this clue?"
"Oh, Your Majesty!" The spy leader hesitated for a moment. Then he said: "Although there are many such shields, these four sides are somewhat different, because they are all newly cast, and even the burrs have not been polished off. Therefore, if we follow this clue, maybe people from the Stephen family can identify This shield was cast from my own blacksmith shop."
"Why don't you bring it over and let Stephen recognize it!" the emperor said impatiently.
"Yes!" The spy leader hurriedly agreed, then waved his hand behind him. Then four palace guards came over with shields stained with blood on all sides.
Of course a fat man couldn't do such a professional thing, so the old mage had no choice but to go and check it out himself. He picked up a shield and looked at it for a moment. He immediately said categorically: "These shields are not produced by our family! They are obviously copied by others!"
"Ah!" As soon as the old mage said this, there was an exclamation of surprise.
The spy leader was even more surprised and said: "Dear old Duke, may I ask what you base this on?"
"It's quality!" The old mage said directly: "The quality of these shields is very good. How can I put it, the quality of these shields is not inferior to the shields in the hands of the palace guards. Although I am very unwilling. But. I also have to admit that my family’s blacksmith shop cannot make such a good shield, otherwise, our family would not only supply shields for low-level troops.”
The emperor heard this. Suddenly he suddenly realized: "Yes, I remembered that these shields killed dozens of palace guards. The shields and armors of those guards were all high-quality products purchased with a lot of money, but they were beaten to pieces by these shields." , shattered all over the place, which shows how strong the impact is, but these shields are only slightly deformed, and the quality is indeed amazing! It seems that the Stephen family’s blacksmith shop cannot produce such good shields!
"Then do you know where it was produced?" The royal spy then asked the old mage hurriedly.
The old mage looked carefully again. Then he said: "Give me a palace guard's shield, I want a new one!"
"Okay!" the spy leader agreed and hurriedly ordered the palace guards to get it.
In a short time, the new shield found in the warehouse was delivered. The old mage took it and compared it, then handed it to the spy leader and sneered: "Sure enough, look at it. Although the style is different. But The casting techniques are the same, obviously they come from the same place!"
After hearing this, the spy leader was suddenly surprised and hurriedly identified it carefully. Being able to become the leader of secret agents, he is certainly no idiot. He knows a lot about various things, especially weapons. Therefore, he quickly saw the similarities. Then he nodded and said: "That's true!"
Then the spy leader handed the things to the emperor to see. The emperor was also a general on horseback, so he was naturally familiar with weapons and equipment. You'll understand it after just a quick look. Then he asked angrily: "Where are the shields of the palace guards made?"
"It's the founding place of the August family!" the spy leader said hurriedly.
"Yes!" When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly became ugly.
You know, if it was the shield of the August family, the emperor would not be too suspicious. After all, their family's shield production is more than that of Stephen's family. But the problem is that it is obviously the shield of the August family, but it has to be made in the style of the Stephen family, and it is also stamped with the exclusive coat of arms of the Stephen family. What does it mean? It's obvious that he just wants to frame someone up!
After thinking of this, the emperor immediately looked at Frank, the patriarch of the August family, with doubts. Xin asked, is it because I fined their family money that they want to kill me?
Others also figured out the key, so they all looked at Frank, obviously also suspicious.
Of course Frank is not stupid. He knew something was wrong as soon as he saw this posture. He quickly came out to defend himself and said: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. Our family's blacksmith shop has never produced shields from other families. Is this a misunderstanding?"
The old mage immediately sneered and said: "You know, each family's crafting techniques have their own characteristics and nuances. And the crafting methods of your August family come from the inheritance of the dwarves and the traditions of humans on the mainland. The difference in manufacturing methods is even greater. Even if others want to imitate it, there is no way, unless they also have such good manufacturing technology. In fact, in human society on the entire continent, there are only one blacksmith shop that can make such a good shield. You, the August family, are not as good as anyone else, so this is what you built, and it’s definitely not wrong!”
"This, this, maybe someone bribed my blacksmith, right?" Frank stammered. At this time, his clothes had been wet with cold sweat, and he couldn't help crying in his heart. He said in his heart, this Which **** did it? Doesn't this cost me my life?
"It's such a clean push!" The fat man couldn't help but sneered at the side: "Maybe you are the one who paid for it!"
"What do you mean!" Frank immediately said angrily: "Do you think I was the one who assassinated His Majesty?"
"You said that yourself!" The fat man shrugged.
"Speak clearly to me!" Frank said angrily: "Our August family is loyal to His Majesty, how could we do such a treasonous thing?"
After saying that, Frank immediately ran to the emperor again and said with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"
"Okay, okay, I believe you won't do it!" Although the emperor had doubts about him, there was no real evidence and he couldn't show it on his face, so he still comforted him.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!" Frank was immediately moved and cried bitterly.
"Okay, okay, I believe you, don't cry!" The emperor advised again, and then said: "However, these four shields are obviously related to your blacksmith shop, so I hope you How about assisting the royal agents to quickly find out where they were cast so as to track down the murderer?"
"Yes, I will spare no effort to help!" Frank said hurriedly.
"Very good!" The emperor nodded with satisfaction and was about to say something more.
But suddenly someone from below quietly came to the spy leader’s ear and whispered a few words. After hearing this, his expression suddenly changed.
When the emperor saw him, he immediately gave up on Frank and hurriedly asked the spy leader: "Is there any news?"
"Yes!" the spy leader replied, wiping cold sweat and saying: "We just received reports that a person in charge of the Augustus family died suddenly and mysteriously, and he happened to be responsible for the ironware manufacturing of the Augustus family. ! ”
