Coiling Dragon Chapter 13: Secretly exposed
Chapter 13: Secret Exposure
The night is as dark as ink.
The sound of a horse-drawn carriage rang out on the street outside the quiet palace. Lin Lei was sitting in the carriage alone, and the shadow mouse Babe was lying on his lap. Beside the carriage was a dozen knights on horses, headed by court attendants.
Inside the carriage.
Lin Lei's brow froze tightly: "Now already is late, but Clyde suddenly called me to go, what the **** is going on?" So-called no ghost in his heart, naturally open.
But lei killed Padson, and lei knew very well that he instructed Padson to send his mother's Correct Clyde. Speaking of which, he still had a grudge against Clyde.
Lei Lei must be careful about Clyde.
"I heard that two days ago, Clyde already captured the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion and began to investigate about Padson. Then Padson told me that he didn't tell anyone to see me. But this Is the word credible? "Lei had no idea.
Maybe the housekeeper knew about Padson's meeting with LEI.
If the steward of the Duke's mansion told Clyde the news, lei naturally reached the cusp.
"Lei, don't worry about it."
Dreincourt appeared next to lei, comforting lei, said, lei, even if the steward of the duke's mansion knew that Padson saw you, it would be fine.
"It's okay?" lei looked at Delincote in doubt.
Drink Coward nodded confidently: "That's right, of course, even if Clyde guessed that you killed Padson, he wouldn't say it explicitly."
"Because ... Clyde, I don't know why you killed Padson." Delincourt's face was full of confidence.
Lin Lei stunned, even if he didn't know why he killed Padson, but after all, he killed him.
"It's very simple. Judging from your conversation with Padson in the back room that day, the relationship between Padson and Clyde was not very good. During the time of Padson's" Minister of Finance ", he was corrupt. I'm afraid Clyde doesn't have much affection for Padson. One more thing ... Clyde doesn't know that you have a deep hatred with him. So he won't deal with you for no reason. Because, to punish you or kill you, It must be approved by the Holy See. "Delincourt's eyes flickered with disdain.
"Well, that Clyde is also a king? The Holy See fully has the right to dismiss him. And you, the Holy See highly value it. Does he dare to deal with you at will?" Delincourt comforted.
lei nodded.
He understands this.
But ...
LIN really doesn't want to let Clyde warn him. Once he has wary, how can he detect his mother's affairs and retaliate against his mother's original affairs?
"Open the door, it's me." The court waiter squeaked.
Lin Lei knew that at this moment already entered the palace door of the palace.
In the dark night, the vast palace is like a giant monster quietly hovering on the ground. Horse carriages entered the palace one after another in just half an hour.
Among them are carriages for lei, carriages for Bernard, and carriages for other nobles.
In the Chamber of the Royal Palace.
Except for the two guards at the entrance of the Chamber, there are eight noblemen in Finlay with a relatively high status. They are Bernard, the chief of the Debs family, Lin Lei, the first magician of the court, Lord Duke Bernard, and Minister of Inspection Hampton.
"Lei, you are here." Duke Berner greeted warmly.
The lords of several nobles who came to already immediately greeted him. When Lin Lei saw these nobles, he couldn't help but seemed to be looking for himself.
"Masters, I don't know if you know Her Majesty, what are you doing this time for us?" lei asked immediately.
Duke Berner, left. I know a lot.
"This call should be for the disappearance of Duke Padson." Duke Berner answered with a kind smile.
Bernard next to him asked immediately: "Master Duke, Duke Padson is missing. What did he want me to do, and I didn't hold any important office in the court?"
"Today, Your Majesty is not convening Ministers, but investigating things. Otherwise, why did I come? Why didn't the Right Secretary come, and why did the Minister of Inspection come to one?" The Duke of Berner could see clearly.
Bernard nodded.
It's just that Bernard's heart is still a bit lackluster.
Since Padson's disappearance, Bernard has been worried in his heart that the Debs family and Padson's smuggling of jadeite ore were leaked out. This matter was leaked out. The Debs family is really It's over.
"Your Majesty, to-"
Suddenly, the court waiter's squeak sounded. From the side entrance of the Chamber, with the respect of two court attendants, Clyde went directly to the seat and sat down.
"Meet Your Majesty."
The eight nobles on the field shouted at the same time.
Clyde glanced at the eight nobles in front of him and nodded calmly: "Now already is almost late at night, I didn't want to disturb you, but the disappearance of my second brother Duke Padson is too important. Do n’t invite you here. "
"The Lord Duke Padson is missing. I don't know why Her Majesty summoned us?" lei asked directly.
Among the eight people below, I am afraid that only LEI dare to speak to Clyde. Because everyone looked at Clyde's face, lei actually belonged to the Holy See, just named in the Kingdom of Finlay.
"Lei Lei, I just want to find out the facts." Clyde smiled slightly, then said loudly, "Bring the housekeeper of the Duke's House, Lodi."
Lody? Housekeeper of the Duke's House?
Lin Lei and Bernard of the Debs family were a little surprised.
The whole hall is quiet, everyone is waiting for Lodi to be escorted. Lei is on the side, shadow mouse babe is on lei's shoulders.
Just a moment-
The middle-aged man with long blue hair walked in under the **** of the court guard. The middle-aged man had a shaggy face, his hair was a little messy, and he looked a little downcast.
However, Bernard recognized at a glance that the man Correct had been looking for his housekeeper, Lodi, at the Duke's House some time ago.
"Lody, you'll tell the truth again." Clyde asked directly to Lodi.
This Lodi apparently explained it to Clyde long ago, apparently just let lei and others hear it. Lodi replied very honestly: "Sir, on June 18th, the Debs family held an engagement banquet, the Lord Duke went to the engagement banquet. After the engagement banquet, the Lord Duke never returned."
"Lodi, you stand on the side first," Clyde said coldly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lodi looked a little apprehensive and hurried to stand.
Clyde glanced down at the eight nobles below.
"According to my investigation, the night of the Debs family engagement banquet, you were the last ones to leave. I would like to ask, have you ever seen Padson?" Clyde asked very simple.
"Padson was the first to leave as soon as the banquet was over," said left-hand Lord ‘Berner’ directly.
lei also nodded: "I also saw Padson leaving early."
Several others either didn't see it, or Padson left early.
When everyone said that, Clyde nodded with a smile, but looked at Lodi next to him: "Lody, keep talking."
"Yes," Lodi said again, "Duke Padson told me before going to Debs's family mansion. This time he wanted to see someone who was important to him. It was just this matter. It is very important and cannot be known by others. So he ordered me to arrange a puppet to return to the Duke's mansion as the Duke of the Duke. In fact, the Duke of the Duke is still in the Debs family. "
"The Lord Duke also said that the Debs family would arrange a hidden place for him to meet people." Lodi added.
In this sentence, Bernard, the patriarch of the Debs family, turned pale.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Bernard quickly said, "This has nothing to do with me, Lord Duke, he told me to meet someone, so let me arrange a secret place. I have to arrange it."
"Bernard, don't worry, I won't do it wrong." Clyde said with a smile.
"Her Majesty." Bernard stepped back, but his face was pale.
Clyde looked at a few people in lei: "Padson, he wants to see a person, naturally this person should have some identity, who will he meet? I think it is likely to be a guest who left late that day."
LIN Lei was shocked.
The Duke of Berner, the Count of Juneau, the Marquis of Hampton, and others all looked at Clyde in surprise. They wondered a little bit about His Majesty the King asking them to come over.
Your Majesty the King doubted them!
"Your Majesty, we did not meet him," said the Duke of Berner, Hampton and others.
Clyde said with a smile: "I'm just doubting. You didn't worry about what was wrong with you. Look, lei is the most calm among you."
Lin Lei smiled indifferently, but did not say a word.
Clyde glanced at this group of people, sneering in his heart: "I'm too lazy to care about who disappeared Padson. Instead, I want to thank that person for giving me the best chance to ruin Padson's establishment. Network of hidden relationships. "
Padson has been Minister of Finance for many years. Established a very dense network of relationships with great influence. Clyde did not dare to chase Padson at will, fearing to cause turmoil throughout the kingdom.
This is why the Debs family and Padson cooperate.
Now that Paterson is missing, the dragons are headless.
Clyde used the Thunder to order his subordinates to quickly solve Padson's wings and directly destroy the network that Padson has operated for many years.
Without Patterson's deployment, the group of people who mixed with him is naturally messy and can't resist Clyde's methods at all.
Clyde looked at lei and a few others and said with a smile: "My second brother Padson was missing and I had to investigate, but what surprised me the most was that I found out a lot of things. Especially It's Lodi. He's told a lot of secrets.
lei couldn't help looking at lodi.
"Lody, tell them to listen." Clyde smiled at Lodi.
At this moment, Clyde is so proud that dying a brother is nothing to Clyde. The important thing is ... he finally took full control of the power of the whole kingdom.
Lodi respectfully said: "His Majesty, that day Duke Padson attended the engagement banquet of the Debs family. The reason to see mysterious people was to get in touch with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. So ... he saw this People, definitely have a close relationship with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. "
"Dawson Chamber of Commerce?"
LIN Lei felt his heart twitch.
"Do you want to know, why did my second brother have a relationship with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce?" Clyde smiled and looked at the people below, "Lody, continue."
"Yes." It was obvious to Lodi that already was completely convinced by Clyde, what to say, "Duke Padson has done a lot of betrayal of the interests of the Kingdom over the years, just to satisfy personal selfish desires ... especially in the last few months, I also started smuggling sapphire ore on a large scale with the Debs family. This is the largest scale of sapphire ore smuggling in the history of the Kingdom of Finland. "
"Bang!"
The patriarch of the Debs family, Bernard, knelt down and said quickly, "Your Majesty, you are injustice. We do business in the Debus family and never do anything against the interests of the country. We Debus family You are wrong. "
"Injustice?" Clyde gave a cold glance at Bernard.
"Bring the Lansir brothers up," the Debs cried to the outside.
The head of the Debs family, Bernard, lost his face as soon as he heard the name "Lansil".
