Chapter 284: Sitting in Prison
"Maria!" Catherine said angrily, "What are you doing in Revival City?" Why did you leave the royal city without permission! In your eyes, is there still me as a mother, and is there a king? β
Mary trembled and said, "Your Majesty, the city of Fuxing has flourished in the past few years, and in a few years it has transformed from a rural country into a metropolis, which can be called a miracle of the world. As the prince, Her Majesty often admonished her to be more considerate of the people's feelings and learn more about the governance of the country. From a city to a country, Erchen just wanted to revive the city of the world wonder to learn and experience, which is also to accumulate experience in governing the country. Her Majesty Mother is strict with her sons on weekdays, and her sons are afraid that Her Majesty Mother will not allow them, so they leave without permission! Please punish Her Majesty for the willfulness of her sons! β
"Hmph, strong words!" Catherine's anger eased slightly, and she said, "It's okay to experience the people's feelings as the prince of a country, but the prince is responsible for the future of the empire, so if you go out without making detailed arrangements, if something happens, you will be to blame!" β
"Your Majesty, when Her Royal Highness the princess passed by Weichen's station, she borrowed the Chinese Army Guard Battalion from Weichen to act as an escort, and she has already made plans and arrangements for her own safety!" Guayada said, "Originally, Weichen also wanted to report to His Majesty in a timely manner, but first, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not allow it, and secondly, Fuxing City is after all the territory under Her Majesty's rule, and the law and order situation is good, so there will definitely be no problems, and third, if the teacher is mobilized, it will not be conducive to the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Therefore, Weichen dared to conceal this matter, please punish Your Majesty! β
"If these collusions are good, you have already thought about them on the way back to the royal city!" Catherine said, "Forget it, I think you are a first-time offender, and for the sake of the country, this king will just say a few words to you, and I will not make an example!" By the way, what's going on with those dwarven artisans? β
"Your Majesty, that's a gift from Count Hig, the lord of Fuxing City, to your Majesty, let your son bring it back!" Maria said.
Catherine said unhappily: "What does this king want these dwarven craftsmen to do, what to give to this king is not good, send some dirty dwarves!" β
"Your Majesty, these dwarven craftsmen are incredible!" "The year before last, the Fifth Army had invented a repeater chariot at the fortress of Giscor, which destroyed the enemy army and caused peace in the entire Roga River Plain for nearly two years. Those dwarven craftsmen are the ones who make these repeater chariots! Hehe, Wechen and Marshal of the First Legion, Marshal Krusov, have long wanted to have a repeater chariot, since Your Majesty dislikes these dwarven craftsmen, why don't you reward Wechen? β
"A repeater chariot? Is it really that powerful? Catherine smiled, "Since it was delivered, let's take it first, how can it be a little bit of the Earl's heart!" If you want, go to the Earl yourself! β
"Your Majesty, Marshal Higg has said, and the grace is from above!" "He said that it would be better to give the craftsmen directly to Marshal Guayada and Marshal Krusov and to make a private acquaintance with the marshal of the troops," said Maria. β
"Hmph, I didn't expect that there are so many eyes in the whole little slippery head! Since the gift has been given to this king, this king must also distribute it to the army, what is the difference between this and his gift to you, but it has passed through the king's hand! Catherine laughed, "How did Higg go back to Renaissance City?" Governor Slylee, you sent a message to Fuxing City, saying that the king accepted the gift, and asked him to continue to send some more to the two marshals, and the king will not catch his pigtails! β
Guayada was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to send a message, I'll go to Lord Earl in a while, hahaha!" β
"What?" Catherine was surprised, "Marshal Guayada, you mean to say that Higg himself is in Zorma City?" β
Guayada asked strangely: "Lord Count and his wife, they arrived in Zorma City from the Magic Guild more than twenty days ago, and said that they would wait for me here, why, doesn't Your Majesty know, or has he already left?" β
"Sclair, what's going on?" Catherine slapped the table angrily and said angrily, "Why didn't Count Sigg report to the king when he arrived in Zorma City?" β
"Your Majesty is angry, Weichen really doesn't know, Weichen has never heard that Lord Earl has come to the royal city!" Szklee hurriedly explained, "Wechen didn't see him submit a post to meet His Majesty!" β
"Check!" Catherine said angrily, "Find out at once what he is doing in Zorma City, and who he has met, and then tell him to come to the king at once!" β
β¦β¦
"Lord Steward, what happened when you came to me in such a hurry late at night?" Lan Xian'er said while ordering someone to serve tea.
"Madame, you're in trouble!" Skrair didn't taste the tea politely, but said straight to the point, "Since you have arrived in the royal city, you don't tell me a word, you don't regard me as a friend!" Don't say anything, Your Majesty is very annoyed, tell the Earl to come with me and go to Your Majesty!" β
Lan Xian'er was puzzled: "It's so late, Your Majesty should also rest, and you still want to see the minister?" Did something happen? β
Scklee patted his head and said, "I'm in a hurry!" Then tomorrow morning, I will personally come to pick up the Count to the court!" β
Lan Xian'er said: "Even if the adults come to pick it up in person, my husband can't go to see Your Majesty!" β
"What, you dare to resist the decree?" Scorley stood up in a rage.
"I don't even know where my husband has gone, where to inform him?" Lan Xian'er also got up and said angrily, "I want to ask the chief manager, what happened to my husband, as soon as he arrived in Zhuoerma City, he was arrested by the soldiers of the military department, and there is no news so far." In order to avenge my husband's grievances, I have submitted no less than ten posts to your Ouchi asking to see Your Majesty, but there has been no response so far! Lord Steward, at the foot of the royal city, my husband's message is unknown, and you, the chief administrator of the Great Interior, dare to say that you don't know, but now you are asking me to raise someone, are you bullying me as a woman? β
"What did you say, ma'am?" Scorley was shocked, "You mean someone has captured the Earl?" You also submitted a letter of worship to Ouchi? β
"What am I lying to you for?" Lan Xian'er said with tears in her eyes, "The people on the street, who doesn't know that on the day my husband arrived in Wangcheng, he was arrested on the street at the gate of his money bank?" Poor my husband is calling for wind and rain in the Luojia River Plain, but he is slaughtered here, if Your Majesty can't trust my husband, we will resign from the post of marshal! β
Sklell hurriedly comforted: "Madame, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter!" However, can Madame go and see Your Majesty early tomorrow morning, and I will have an explanation first! β
"Lord Steward, my husband has no news, and I am so anxious! I heard the chief steward say this just now, it seems that it is not His Majesty's intention to arrest my husband, then my husband is in danger! Lan Xian'er cried with a whimper, "The Lord in Charge asked me to go to see Your Majesty early tomorrow morning, is it to let Your Majesty see me like this, and lose my temper in front of the king, so that people can see jokes?" β
"Thisβ" said Sklee, embarrassed, "in that case, let's wait until I find the Earl!" β
"Then there's Mr. Lao to worry about!"
β¦β¦
In the cell, the cell boss and two jailers opened the door of the room where Higg was and said to Higg, "Your Excellency, you can go!" β
Hungry and thin-skinned in his cell, Higg seemed to be lying on his bed dying, motionless.
"Your Excellency, you can go, you're out of prison!" The cell boss said again.
Higg opened his eyes slightly and said to the cell boss, "Out of prison?" I haven't passed the court yet, why did I get out of prison? Take the verdict or the document of release from prison, and I'll take a look! β
"There are no verdicts or papers!" The cell boss wondered, "My lord, let's go out and talk about it!" β
"How's that going to work?" Higg said angrily, "Although I am the marshal of the army, I also have to act according to the regulations of the imperial court!" And you, how can you blatantly cheat and let me go without permission? You know, you're trying to hurt me! β
"My lord, that's not the case!" The cell boss hurriedly said, "I'm just acting on orders, and I'll find someone to handle the formalities for your lord's release from prison immediately!" β
"There is no verdict, there is no document from the Ministry of War, and it is late at night, what are you not secretly releasing prisoners? Say, "Who told you to do this?" Higg said angrily, "Nothing, how can you go through the formalities of getting out of prison, and do you want to cheat again?" β
"My lord, thisβ" The cell boss was sweating profusely, not knowing what to say.
"This has nothing to do with you!" Higg looked at the pitiful appearance of the cell leader, but comforted, "You don't need to take the pot for others!" Do what you have to do, it's not dawn yet, don't disturb my sleep! β
"Is the Earl really going to sit through the prison?" Yawan asked Higg with a blank face as he appeared behind the cell leader.
Higg smiled: "Childe said that he laughed, sit and wear or not, I don't count if I say it, I'm waiting for my verdict!" I don't know what the rules are for Childe's late-night visit to the cell? β
"We don't want your compensation and the profits of the pawnshop!" Avanti said angrily, "It's all right, right? Please get out of jail, Lord Earl! β
"Childe, are you going to let me go without permission?" Higg laughed, "Or do you have a verdict or a document?" The arrest warrant for my arrest was issued by the Ministry of War, and the person who actually arrested me was the city defense battalion, and no one from these two departments came to solve the case, if I left without permission, then even if I did not commit the crime, I would have become a fugitive! Hehe, you want to hurt me, this trick is too clumsy! β
Yawanti said angrily: "Lord Earl, if your money bank and pawnshop still want to open in Zhuoerma City, it is best to cooperate with me honestly!" β
Higg said with a smile: "Things are one yard to one yard, whether the money village and pawnshop in Fuxing City can be opened, if it doesn't involve my case, don't worry about it!" In short, I wouldn't have gone out without the charter! β
"Come, get the Count out," Avanti shouted angrily.
Seven or eight jailers quickly rushed in and stormed into Higg's room, trying to drag him out.
"Hahaha!" Higg laughed and said, "I really think it's strange why so many people are so shameless, when Lao Tzu doesn't want to come in, you have to lock Lao Tzu in; Lao Tzu happened to be here for a few days, but he wanted to call Lao Tzu out again! β
With Higg finishing, a Hercules shield covered itself.
Seven or eight jailers rushed towards Higg, crashed into the Hercules shield, and were blocked out, unable to catch him.
Higg smiled: "Avanti, just these rookies, you want to deal with me?" You'd better think of another way to see if it's possible to get me out before dawn, hahaha! Really, Lao Tzu slept well, and was woken up by you, I want to make up for sleep first! β
Yawanti roared: "A group of useless things, go and transfer the people of the city defense camp, pull him out too, be quick!" β
