Chapter 129 The Gallows in Kaifeng

Felisa met Mary at the corner of the street, two streets away from the Chancellor's Mansion.

"It's too slow!" Mary looked forward to it, and finally saw Felisa's carriage slowly approaching, and couldn't help scolding, "Do you know how long I have been waiting?"

In fact, there is still a lot of room before the appointed time, but Mary arrives earlier because of her anxiety.

Azalez took a cold look at the past, Mary felt a sudden chill on the back of her neck, she shrank her neck instinctively, the next words were inexplicably polite: "Let's go quickly." Then she sat back on her own In the carriage, he urged the driver to leave quickly.

Azarez sneered, he was hopelessly stupid, but his intuition was still somewhat accurate, and he was looking forward to what would happen to Mary after today.

The two carriages soon arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. There were already attendants waiting at the gate. Seeing Mary and Felisa arriving one after the other, they immediately greeted them with a smile: "Miss Mary, Miss Felisa."

As soon as Felisa was helped out of the carriage by Asalez, she heard Mary speak first: "Take me to see Safi!"

I don't know, I thought she was the one leading this visit.

It's just that she didn't have this awareness, and the well-trained attendant of the prime minister's mansion was more obedient than her. He looked at Felisa, saw that Felisa nodded slightly to him, and then turned around and guided Mary into the mansion.

"Miss..." Azalez looked at the indifferent Felisa, frowning slightly, "You're not angry at all."

"I won't be angry," Felisa smiled and shook her head, looking at Mary's hurrying back, she said softly, "Anyway, she won't have this chance in the future."

Having said that, sometimes it is inevitable to get angry when encountering such things, but Felisa has always adjusted her mentality, so she is very calm.

Safi was waiting for them in the study room. The dignified and elegant girl drinking tea at the table was in stark contrast to Mary, whose hair was a little disheveled because of rushing over.

"Safi, you must help me!" The moment she saw Safi, Mary didn't exchange any greetings, and went straight to the point, "I want to see Fred!"

Safi put down the teacup unhurriedly and said nothing: "Sit first."

Mary looked at Safi's indifferent appearance in disbelief: "What time is it, how can I have time to sit and chat with you?"

In fact, Safi didn't sit down and chat with other aristocratic women of the same generation except Felisa—that's not called chatting with Nancy—so Mary's words like sitting down and chatting... It's really giving her face Put gold on it.

"No matter how anxious you are, I have to send someone to ask if His Highness is free at the moment. This round-trip time is enough for you to drink a cup of tea."

Upon hearing this, Mary sneered and said, "I didn't expect Fred's fiancée to ask if he was free if he wanted to see him." She had a "gloating" face: "Fred doesn't care much about you, does he?" .”

Safi turned a deaf ear to it. Of course, there was no such procedure for her to ask to see Fred, but there was really no need to explain this to Mary.

Felisa, who was a few steps behind, only had time to hear the last sentence, so she couldn't restrain herself and rolled her eyes.

The sour words of sour grapes that can't eat grapes make people really speechless.

Safi saw Felisa, showed a faint smile, and greeted her: "Flisa, come and sit down."

This obvious difference in attitude made Mary very unhappy, but she just snorted lightly and didn't say much.

During the period of waiting for the person sent by Safi to deliver the letter, all three of them were speechless.

With Mary in the middle, Felisa and Safi couldn't say anything, and Mary had nothing to say to Felisa and Safi.

Fortunately, the messenger came back soon. This was just a formality, and the intention was to draw the attention of all those who were paying close attention to the development of the situation at the moment.

Because next, it's time to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys. If it doesn't attract everyone's attention, how can this deterrence be effective?

Fred was waiting for them at the palace, and he had the stage ready for the actors to come on.

"Your Highness," Safi saluted, holding up her skirt, "Excuse me today."

Then she was pulled up by Fred himself, and then Fred nodded to Mary and Felisa who were following behind, as a greeting.

"Is there something wrong?" Fred looked at Mary and asked directly, "Safi said you have something to ask me?"

"Yes," Mary said immediately, "my father hasn't been home for many days, can I go and see him?"

"Of course," Fred said with a smile, "I'll take you to see him."

Mary was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Fred nodded, whispered a few words to Safi, and went out: "Come with me."

Mary followed without hesitation.

Felisa, who was like an invisible person all the way, spoke only at this moment: "Where does His Highness want to take her?"

Safi glanced at the closed door, pulled Felisa to sit down, and then explained her confusion: "The dungeon."

Felisa was shocked: "There is a dungeon in the palace?"

"It didn't exist at first," Safi shook his head, "It was built only recently."

Both of them knew the purpose of building it, and there are probably many people living in the dungeon now.

Felisa didn't want to see what the dungeon looked like, she just asked, "So what are you going to do?"

"Hanging," Safi said bluntly, "publicly."

In fact, the gallows, which stands in a corner of the royal city and is separated by a high fence, has never been taken out and used. After all, everyone knows magic. Why use such a rough method to solve things that can be solved by magic.

But this time is different. This time, the royal family made up their minds to make it public, so this gallows, which has never been used before, is about to play its role for the first time.

"This time, the nobles probably should panic," Felisa sighed, "Maybe it will cause turmoil."

There will definitely be people who are unwilling to sit still and wait for death. Whether they want to find another way out or escape directly, the royal family should also take precautions.

What she can think of, Safi can naturally think of it, she chuckled: "Isn't that good? In fact, many people's crimes are not considered treason, but if they really do something, it's not a crime." It's the same."

"So, Beard did make a big mistake," Felisa thought thoughtfully, "or, among those who made big mistakes, he is the best one to catch."

"That's right," Safi nodded, "Do you still remember that unicorn brooch?"

It was really a long time ago, but Felisa naturally remembered that it was an opportunity for her to change her entire destiny. No one told her about the follow-up investigation of the brooch, but Felisa knew that some things did not follow. She said she couldn't say it, and as time passed, she put the matter behind her.

But at this moment Safi mentioned...

"The fake brooch was transported into the king's city and was replaced. It followed Peter's path. This incident was the trigger. Following the investigation, we found out a lot of direct or indirect relations between him and the abandoned avenue. The most intuitive one is the racetrack, all the evidence is enough to prove that he has something to do with the demons."

The crime of treason was certain, and Beard had no room for refutation, and the only thing waiting for him was the death penalty.
