A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 130. Chapter 130

Seeing the clearly visible scratches on the man’s arm, his mind flashed through his dead subordinate who had his neck severed, and a violent anger surged from the bottom of Sa Ge’s heart.

“Prince Garland, is he the murderer?!”

Sage’s anger made the person kneeling on the ground shake more. And his yelling voice was loud, and the silent square was even louder at this moment, so that everyone who retreated around could hear clearly.

So, with a bang, the entire square was exploded.

Almost everyone in the square watched the man and started talking.

Garlan stood there, looking at the shivering man who was kneeling in front of him, he was thinking, and he didn’t pay much attention to the situation around him for a while.

But Sa Ge suddenly rushed over, opening his mouth with an anger, and suddenly awakened him from his contemplation.

He glanced sideways at Sa Ge, with a bit of astonishment on his face, probably a little surprised how Sa Ge, who was supposed to be on the high platform, suddenly ran by his side.

He blinked, glanced at Sa Ge, then turned to glance at the kneeling man.

That is an attendant.

This kind of person can be seen everywhere in the palace, plus this person has an ordinary face, and once you have seen it, you will not leave much impression.

At this moment, the attendant knelt on the ground, bowed his head deeply, shivering violently.

Without waiting for Garlan to speak, the angry Sa Ge couldn’t bear it anymore. He directly stretched out his hand and picked up the whole person.

Then, as soon as he turned around, he dragged the man away.

The people in a circle all around evaded the road, watching Sa Ge abruptly drag the attendant along the steps to the high platform.

Just as Gallan stretched out his hand, it was too late to stop it, and Sago had already dragged people up the steps.

He scratched his head.

A fluffy brain came over, the wet and warm nose pressed against his face, and the thick mane swept across his cheeks. Obviously, Niega shifted his attention to others because of Gallan. , A little unhappy, arched Garlan and turned his attention back to him.

Gallan hugged the big head quickly, rubbed it, touched it, and coaxed it. This made Nega satisfied. He shook his head, whimpered, and rubbed Gallan’s head again. , Snorted proudly.

This mighty and terrifying big lion looked like a cat coquettishly at the young man, making the people around him dumbfounded.

Everyone suddenly felt that the noble and majestic image of the big lion had collapsed in their hearts.

However, the majestic image collapsed and collapsed, and they still had a sense of fear from the heart for this beast.

So when Gallan took Nega and walked out, they slammed backward and evaded even more.

Gallan led Nega to follow the Sa Pavilion and walked up the steps to the high platform, and everyone’s eyes on the square followed them closely, converging on the high platform.

Head Sage threw the attendant he had dragged up onto the high platform.

He said: “This guy is the murderer of my subordinates!”

His words made the chief guard and the noble ministers on that side all show a look of astonishment. Their eyes were full of disbelief, and they looked at the attendant who was suddenly identified as the murderer by Sa Ge. .

And the attendant didn’t resist not only when he was dragged up the steps by Sa Ge abruptly, but when he was thrown to the ground by Sa Ge, he collapsed on the ground like a mass of mud, curled up and dared not move.

Obviously, he was so scared that he stiffened and couldn’t move, his face was pale and pale, and the whole person was trembling.

How cowardly and cowardly he looked, not only the noble ministers, but even the chief of the guard showed a look of disbelief.

He looked at Sa Ge, frowned and asked: “How do you think he is the murderer?”

How can this trash not look like it can kill people?

In the above sentence, in order to save face for Sa Ge, he did not ask directly.

Garlan also walked on the steps with the big lion unhurriedly, but he hadn’t come up yet.

But Sa Ge felt that since the murderer had been found, there was no need for Prince Garland to keep a secret what Prince Garland said to him that day. He could now say it straightforwardly.

“Look at his arm!”

He answered simply.

Everyone’s eyes fell on the arms of the attendants who were lying on the ground.

There were several deep scars on the attendant’s right arm, and it looked like it had been caught by something.

“My subordinates’ resistance before death scratched the murderer’s arm.”

Sa Ge is a straight-tempered man, he is used to saying anything, and he can’t do things like robbing others of credit.

Therefore, he calmly told the people who came up with this method.

“Prince Garland saw it. The nails of my subordinate’s body were left with black pieces of flesh and blood solidified.” He stared at the murderer with awe-inspiring eyes and said, “The scratches on his arm are proof! ”

Scratches on the arm?

Everyone was taken aback, and they all reacted immediately.

I see.

Prince Garland said that the act of using lions to test liars was just a pretense. The purpose was to find people in the palace with scratches on their arms?

I’m afraid it was because I was worried that this news would be leaked out in advance, so I simply kept it from everyone.

Hmm—this method is so reliable, it’s a bit reliable.

Prince Gallan, cough, is still a little clever.

At first, those who thought Garland’s behavior was ridiculous thought this in their hearts. The nobleman who directly said that Prince Garland’s behavior was like a child’s play coughed twice, which was a bit embarrassing, but found that everyone’s attention was lost. After he was on his body, he was relieved.

Is this the real purpose of Prince Garland?

The elderly Sixiang thought, looking at the attendant lying on the ground, slowly frowned again.

wrong.

he thinks.

Although Prince Gallan’s approach seemed to be effective, it couldn’t sustain it in several ways.

He frowned and glanced at the side of his eyes.

The old man looked at the Chief Secretary who was sitting not far from him. At first, the Chief Secretary who frowned slightly and did not say a word had already laughed for some time, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to relax a lot.

Obviously, the chief director must have seen something to show such a comfortable look.

“You mean, this person with a scratch on his arm is the murderer?”

The Chief Guard asked with a frown.

“…No, no…no!”

After the initial panic passed, the attendant, who was lying on the ground tremblingly like a puddle of mud, struggling to shout out as soon as he heard this.

“It’s not me! I, I didn’t… How dare I, no, I really didn’t kill it!”

He was stammering, eager to get up to argue, but probably because his hands and feet were soft, he couldn’t sit up after a few flutters on the ground, and he could only howl with his throat.

“I, my injury, yes, yes, that…”

He looked so anxious that he was about to cry.

“I, I serve the hounds in the palace. This, this injury was scratched by the hounds. Those of us who serve the hounds often have such scars on our arms-no, it’s not just me.”

“Really! Adults go to our place to see that there are many people with scars on their hands and bodies, because if they are not paying attention, they will be bitten or caught by hounds.”

He talked like a bunch of beans like a bamboo tube, and he really cried when he slumped on the ground.

“I really didn’t do anything to kill people. How can I have the guts… and, besides, I am a servant who serves hounds. How can I kill Lord Cavaliers!”

The words of the attendant silenced the noble ministers for a moment.

No matter how they look at it, they don’t think that the scared guy in front of them is a warrior who can kill royal knights.

“Head Sage, are you making a mistake.”

The Chief Guard leaned closer to Sa Pavilion and whispered.

“This guy doesn’t look like he can kill.”

As a warrior, he didn’t feel the slightest threat from this attendant. This was an ordinary, even a little cowardly person.

After being stunned by what the attendant said, Sa Ge’s brow furrowed and his complexion grew colder and harder when he was said by the commander of the guard.

He said coldly: “That’s just what he disguised!”

After speaking, he took a violent step, took out the long sword from his waist, and stabbed the servant who was still on the ground with a heavy sword—

No matter how disguised, the body will respond instinctively when facing a life-and-death crisis.

Sage stabbed this sword to break this man’s disguise.

However, seeing that the tip of the sword was about to penetrate the man’s throat, the man still didn’t react at all.

With a thought, Sa Ge’s wrist jerked.

The sharp point of the sword swept across the edge of the man’s throat dangerously, cutting out a bloody hole.

With a bang, the long sword half sank into the high platform.

The attendant, who had been sitting on the ground in a daze, didn’t finally react until the sword pierced the ground and let out a scream.

Shaking while shivering, a pool of water stains appeared under his buttocks just under everyone’s eyes.

He was so shivering that he was incontinent.

That ugly and embarrassing appearance made a kind of noble ministers next to him show contempt and disdain.

However, in this way, everyone felt that this kind of guy could not be a murderer.

The chief guard squatted down, stretched out his hand and squeezed the arm and shoulder of the trembling attendant a few times, and pressed his chest again.

He shook his head.

He could clearly feel that the body of this attendant did not have the strong muscles that a martial artist had. The flesh was sparse, and there was even fat on his stomach. Such a person would definitely not be a martial artist.

Sage stood in place with a look of astonishment, his mind was a little confused.

He tried it out, this attendant was not pretending, it was really without force.

How could an unarmed attendant kill the royal knight?

At this moment, the incontinent attendant shivered, and desperately stretched out his hand to the bottom of the square.

“Oh, my lord…ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, look down there, there is a companion of mine, he also has scratches similar to mine–there are others too…ooh, I’m not…”

The attendants cried so heartbroken and miserable. Although they looked terribly ugly, they aroused the sympathy of many people.

They all wondered secretly, could it be true that the rumors that Prince Gallan wanted to find a dead ghost to exonerate Prince Heymos?

At the beginning, they thought that Prince Garland, who has the name of justice, wouldn’t do such a thing, right?

But looking at it like this now, I suddenly became suspicious in my heart.

At this moment, the Chief Secretary, who had been silent, stood up.

Under the gaze of everyone, he walked towards Garlan, who had already come to the high platform.

As he walked, he shook his head and sighed.

“Prince Garland, stop here.”

He said, “If there are scars on the arm as evidence, then this’murderer’ is not the only one that can be found.”

He tolerated the child’s naughty look and looked at Garlan gently.

“No matter how you want to help Prince Hiemos, you can’t just grab someone and call him the murderer.”

He said in a coaxing tone, “However, you can find that there are scratches on the murderer’s arm. You are already very smart. It’s just that you are a little younger and can’t think about it.”

“Even if the murderer has scratches on his arm, he can make a little more injury on his arm to cover it up, and he can even try to make some injuries on someone else’s arm so that he can fish in troubled waters and make that person his own scapegoat.”

He smiled.

“Did you say that, Prince Garland? Since you have a wise name, you should think of this.”

The Chief Secretary seemed to say so casually, many people suddenly thought of Prince Huimos.

You know, when Huimos came back, there was a burn on his arm, many people have seen it, and both hands were tightly wrapped in bandages.

In this way, maybe it was really to cover up previous scratches…

Under the gaze of everyone’s sudden realization, the Chief Secretary stood steadily on the high platform, smiling and standing.

Countless people began to whisper, there was a buzzing sound in the square, and many people began to look suspiciously at Prince Garland.

Prince Garland’s reputation in the palace has always been very good.

And now, they couldn’t help but start to doubt.

As a wise prince, how can he do such a thing as wronging an innocent person?

Moreover, from the beginning to the present, everything the prince has done makes people feel ridiculous.

Just like what the Chief Secretary said, since he has a wise name, why didn’t he even think of the things the Chief Secretary said?

The prince didn’t feel as wise as the rumors.

Feeling that everyone began to look at Prince Garland with suspicion, the Chief Secretary suddenly felt better, because things were developing as he thought.

He continued: “Prince, if there is no definite evidence, you can’t just call someone a murderer, do you understand?”

The young man who gently stroked the mane of the big lion on his side looked calm under the gazes of people who were either suspicious, doubtful, or had other meanings.

He looked at the Chief Secretary with a puzzled look.

“Did you make a mistake, Chief Secretary.” He asked, “What did I say that he was a murderer?”

The Chief Secretary, who was smiling gently, was choked like this, and suddenly remembered.

From beginning to end, Sage said that this attendant was a murderer, and Garlan just stood in front of this attendant.

He didn’t even say that the attendant was the murderer.

It seems that this is an intention to deny the account, and to preserve his reputation as much as possible.

The Chief Secretary sneered inwardly.

However, he still looked kind and asked: “You mean, this person is not a murderer?”

“Well…”

The boy tilted his head and groaned.

“It’s a bit hard to say, and I can’t say no, after all…”

He rolled his eyes round and round, and stopped talking.

“Prince Garland.”

The Chief Secretary felt that Gallan was planning to play a rogue with specious words.

So, he lowered his face slightly, and began to speak in the same tone as his elders had taught incomprehensible children.

“You have to know how to stop everything. So many people stay here not to accompany you to play games with your lion, but because you said that you can find the murderer today, but now-um!!!”

Probably sensing the bad faith of the Chief Secretary towards Gallan, the big lion who had been quietly staying beside Gallan suddenly turned his head, staring at the Chief Secretary like a charcoal, and his huge body bowed, as if gaining momentum. As he was about to attack, he uttered a low growl at the Chief Secretary.

With the sudden roar and the terrifying look of the big lion staring at him, even the Chief Secretary was taken aback. He barely controlled himself without shouting, but he still took a step back subconsciously.

“Prince, what are you going to do?!”

Although his face looked calm, there was still a hint of panic in the Chief Secretary’s voice.

In this world, there are almost few people who don’t panic in front of a fierce and terrifying lion.

The young man who was one of them ignored the chief director and rubbed Niega’s head like rewards.

Nega turned his head, whispered a few whispers to Garlan, nudged, satisfied.

With his arms around Nejana’s fluffy head, Gallan turned his head.

“…It’s almost there.”

He said to himself.

“Prince Garlan, what are you…”

The chief secretary stabilized his mind and wanted to continue to persecute Garlan.

However, as soon as he spoke, suddenly a dark shadow fell from the sky, and a heavy object slammed under his feet, causing him to be frightened by the lion until he finally calmed down. The heart trembled violently and almost never stopped. .

He is not young anymore, he is always so frightened, it is easy to be frightened to something wrong.

Which reckless guy is so messy?

He turned his head in irritation, wanting to blame the guy who did this kind of thing.

But when he saw someone coming, he was a little surprised.

At the same time, the boy came from behind him with a clear voice with a clearly happy mood.

“Kyjos, the action is too slow, everyone is waiting impatiently.”

Wearing silver armor, the blond knight who came up from the next step of the stairs gave his prince a smile on his face that looked more and more handsome in the sun.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness, it took a long time for this guy to dare to act. We can only wait for him to act honestly.”

What’s the meaning?

The Chief Secretary’s mind is a bit messy.

He turned his head back, and when he lowered his head, he saw that the heavy object hitting his eyes just now was actually a person – and it was a royal knight wearing a fire-red armor.

There was an uproar in the square.

The red-armored knight fell to the ground in embarrassment, with his hands tied behind him. Just now, he was thrown up by Kayjos like a bag of heavy objects.

“Fal?!”

The Sage leader on the side has already called out the names of his subordinates.

“What is going on, you should be on duty now, how could you—”

He looked at Garlan in astonishment and a little displeasure.

“Prince, what is going on? How can you make your guardian knight treat my subordinates like this?”

Speaking of this, Sa Ge realized that it seemed that when Prince Garlan came to the square from the beginning, he hadn’t seen Kaihuos following him.

Gallan looked at him and said, “Sorry, Captain Sage, I lied to you.”

“……what?”

“I said at the beginning that I was lying to you if I could find the murderer by using the method of arm injury.”

“you–!”

Seeing his subordinates being treated in this way, and hearing Garlan say that he lied to him, Sago’s face showed a bit of anger.

“At the time I told you that there is another evidence on the body that allows us to find the murderer…”

Faced with Sago’s glare, Garlan smiled carelessly.

He glanced at the knight with his hands tied on his back and lying on the ground.

“…This is also a lie to you.”

The shoulder of the red-armored knight who was glancing at him from the corner of his eye suddenly trembled violently.

Gallan said, “There is no such thing.”

The red-armored knight with his head down suddenly became sharp and heavy.

Gallan continued to speak.

“But, Captain Sage, I promised you to find the murderer.”

Sa Ge felt that his mind was messed up at the moment, and his whole person was a little confused.

A bad premonition made him wonder what to say for a while, so he could only look at Garlan and wait for him to continue.

Garlan took two steps forward, and walked to the red-armored knight who had been lying on the ground and had not raised his head. He looked down at this man with cold eyes.

He said: “This royal knight killed two of his companions.”

Therefore, all the previous methods are for deception.

The real way is… to lead the snake out of the hole.
