Chapter 102: 【Southeast Road】

Chapter One Hundred Two
Nicole didn't have any impression of the name Duck, making Roddy completely dead.
From Zieg to Gordon, the old generals around the old Duke Tulip didn't know the details of that dark, and even Nicole had never heard of this dark. Roddy really couldn't understand why these people had never heard of Duck's superb archery skills and the kind of enmity he said?
Did Duck lie to himself? But when I saw the hatred and anger in his eyes that day, it didn't look like a disguise.
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of a clue, so I could only ask the guards to step up their guard.
The news of the assassination of the Duke Tulip leaked out, and the news immediately spread all over the imperial capital. There were a lot of people on the street that day.
Abbas XI immediately ordered the imperial capital security office to strictly investigate and deal with it, requiring that the assassin must be found within ten days. It is said that his Majesty the Emperor was furious and sent the commander of the Imperial Capital Public Security Office to the palace and severely scolded him. It's just that Roddy smiled coldly when he heard that, maybe the emperor was angry not because he was assassinated, but because he was not assassinated, right?
This time it was just the soldiers who suffered from the police station in the imperial capital. The soldiers of the brigade patrolled the streets day and night. They walked through every street and alley in the imperial capital, rummaged through every piece of blue brick and stone, and every pedestrian on every road became an important suspect-listen to Lord Duke Having said that, the person who assassinated him used a long bow and arrow, and all the bosses of the weapons shops in the entire imperial capital were out of luck.
what? Haven't you sold bows and arrows to anyone in your shop recently? What about last year? What about the year before last? What about the first year? How can he be sure that the assassin would not plan to assassinate the empire's greatest Duke Tulip for a few years? What if the bow and arrow used by the assassin were bought three years ago? Sorry, please hand over all the sales records of bows and arrows in the past three years...no? That's easy, just put on the chain, and you can explain it slowly to us in the police station...
what? Your shop doesn’t sell bows and arrows at all? That's not OK! That assassin couldn't stab with a bow and arrow this time, maybe he will use a sword next time! Don't talk nonsense! I only took out all the weapons shot records for three years...Huh? what? You say you are here; don't even sell swords? Only make fireballistas for the Imperial Ordnance? That's pretty good! ! In case, let that hateful assassin master these weapons of mass destruction! Not to mention the safety of our greatest tulip duke! Even the imperial capital will suffer a large-scale terrorist attack! Stop talking nonsense! Take out the ledger! Otherwise, go back and chat with us slowly!
What does this guy say? You don’t sell swords or any weapons here? How did you get caught? who are you? by! Your shop sells soy sauce? Which caught him back! !
All those who entered and exited the imperial capital city gate for three days were taken back to the police station, and all the hotels and clubs in the city were checked by the soldiers of the police station seventeen or eight times! The prisons of the imperial capital’s public security offices are gradually becoming insufficient, and a large number of "suspects" simply cannot be packed into the prisons that are already overcrowded. Finally, the police station commanded helplessly, and finally came up with a good idea. Ordering people to vacate all the toilets, concierge, wood room and kitchen in the public security office, and replaced them with iron doors and windows, only then reluctantly squeezed the mighty "suspect" into every corner of the security office.
When the police officers in charge of the "interrogation" saw so many suspects who needed to "step up the interrogation immediately," their eyes almost stared, and their chins had already fallen to the ground. I can only be refreshed, working overtime and devoting to the intense investigation and interrogation work. In the end, I was tired for seven days and nights before taking out eight times the ancestors of these people, plus when they entered the city and where they have been. No one knows the threshold of foot crossing all the questions. But the final result disappointed the officials of the police station who had been fighting endlessly for days and nights. Although the culprits of many old cases have been found from the arrested suspects-for example, the thief who stole a horse from the house of Viscount Watant seven years ago, six years ago, two batches of rogue hooligans in the north of the city fought. The gangster who ran away in the middle of the run, abducted the concubine in the thirteenth room of Lord Garrison five years ago, and now he is the groom who became the owner of the soy sauce shop...
It should be said that the results are remarkable. After this rigorous search, the security situation in the imperial capital has been greatly improved. On the street, under the patrol of a team of soldiers from the security post. More than a hundred years after the death of Abbas the Great, the imperial capital actually re-achieved "nothing on the road, no closing at night." How many abducted Xiaoxiao were arrested. In later history, the largest search operation in the imperial capital in a hundred years was given a very high evaluation: although this search failed to achieve the purpose of arresting the assassins, the improvement of the public security situation in the imperial capital is obvious to all. After the relevant officials reported the matter to His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty was overjoyed and ordered that such a large-scale and strict search operation be carried out regularly every year in the future, and will be considered to be extended to the entire empire as appropriate!
Because of this large-scale "strict search operation, which hit a large number of criminal forces", later generations called this operation "strike hard"...
After releasing a large number of innocents, the commander of the Imperial City Public Security Bureau gritted his teeth and issued another order: Even if he digs three feet of the ground, he must find the cunning, sinister and vicious assassin!
As a result, the police officers who had become red eyes cried. The soldiers of the police station who had worn a few pairs of shoes in every alley of the imperial capital cried.
After ten days, with all the efforts of the police, after strict verification and evidence collection, a total of six Jiangyang thieves were arrested, ten thieves who picked flowers (the thieves were more popular than thieves this year), and 17 habitual stealers , The trio of black power leaders.
Afterwards, the leader of the security station jumped into the river and closed his eyes. It took two days, and at the cost of snatching 3,400 hairs, he finally wrote a report that was about 100,000 characters long.
In the report, these captured criminals were written as accomplices of the assassins.
At the same time, the head of the public security station pointed out with keen eyes that the assassination of Lord Duke was a long-planned, very latent and hugely ambitious conspiracy! The purpose is to remove the empire's meritorious Tulip Duke, and ultimately achieve the goal of subverting the empire's rule.
In this report, the master of the police station repeatedly expounded his views from the positive, negative, side, different arguments and different arguments, and finally came to the above-mentioned shocking conclusion!
This is not simply an assassination, but a premeditated conspiracy by evil forces at home and abroad to overthrow the rule of the Bright Empire!
After submitting this report, the commander of the public security office immediately asked his men to prepare the coffin, invited the priest from the religious office, personally selected the pasture, and prepared the poisonous wine. After his Majesty finished reading this report, he immediately committed suicide.
Unexpectedly, there was no news from the palace. This commander was nervous for two days, and finally got a piece of commendation order from His Majesty the Emperor. The commanding officer after the rest of his life only found out after many inquiries, because his report was too long and profound, including the emperor, almost all the ministers had no patience to read half of it and passed it smoothly.
Just when all the officers and soldiers of the imperial capital's public security station burst into tears.
This morning, a dozen or so warriors in plain clothes on horseback followed a carriage, slowly exiting the city from the south gate of the imperial capital. After seeing the customs clearance document, the soldiers defending the city immediately stood up straight and faced each other. The heavy doors and windows of the carriage salute in the most solemn manner.
After the carriage was out of town for ten miles, the window on the carriage opened, revealing the heroic face of Lord Tulip.
Looking at the outline of the majestic city wall of the imperial capital that was drifting away behind him, Roddy smiled bitterly: "Is it going to go to the south to open the mountains? I heard that the barbarians in those mountains don't like bathing very much, and I don't know if they are Really..."
Rand immediately bowed and said: "Lord Duke! We have already left the imperial capital. For your safety, you shouldn't open the windows... The terrain here is more complicated. If someone uses a dark arrow to attack, I am afraid it is not safe."
Roddy nodded, closed the window, but sighed in his heart. If he was marching with a large group of Spikes, he wouldn't have to hide in the carriage so bored.
The Spangled Army has been formally separated from the Central Cavalry Corps by the emperor’s order. The refurbished Spangled Army has supplemented the forces lost in the northwest. The two cavalry have already escaped from Thor’s Whip and become the great Tulip Duke. The lord's direct cavalry regiment.
Although it left the Central Cavalry Corps, known as the most elite army in the empire, which made all officers and soldiers feel reluctant, but to become the direct cavalry regiment of the empire's military Tulip Duke, that is an even more supreme glory!
His Majesty the Emperor readily agreed to Roddy's request this time. In fact, it was calculated that the 20,000 cavalrymen would not be of much use in the south.
The mountain barbarians are not like the grassland aliens of the Great Moon Kingdom. They are divided into hundreds of large and small tribal villages, scattered among the complex topographic hills along the southeast of the mainland for nearly a thousand miles.
No matter how powerful the Spike Army is, what can the cavalry do in the vast mountains? In the rugged mountain roads and steep terrain, the advantage of the cavalry was lost. The emperor thought of this, and the Marquis Caroline naturally thought of it. So this time the emperor might as well pretend to be generous, and readily handed the wolffang army to Roddy.
It's just that the old fox Caroline is still on guard after all. As the Minister of Military Affairs, he found a few excuses to postpone the reorganization of the Spike Army for a few days. Anyway, try to trouble Roddy as much as possible. However, seeing the success of the peace talks, His Majesty immediately ordered Roddy to go to the south without delay. Roddy had no choice but to take a team of guards from the Tulip Mansion on the road to the southeast hills...
