Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 407 Your name should be on this list
In the next few days, people in Xiongdu were panicked and shrouded in the shadow of panic.

Barrett and Tiana are very capable, and they are also the most trusted people of Jarvan III.

After getting the seal issued by the king to represent themselves and symbolize the supreme royal power, they first stopped the official duties of all the demon seekers and demon destroyers of the demon seeker association, and waited at home for investigation.

Especially on the day of the Angel Sisters' battle, that is, when Silas led the mage to escape from prison, all the magic seeker guards who were supposed to guard the Mithral Pavilion were temporarily arrested by the Fearless Vanguard.

During their interrogation, Li Lin's "Veritaserum" played a great role.

Of the dozens of guards who were supposed to be on duty that day, almost two-thirds were ordered by their superiors to take a day off and someone would take over their duties.

The remaining third belonged to a mageseeker chief and received money.

The information was deduced by investigating the money hidden in their home and the confessions of two survivors.

This part of the Demon Seeker guards was killed almost on the same day by Silas and some vicious mages who hated Demacia because they had to guard the Mithral Pavilion dungeon.

However, although they were dead, they did not have much impact on the investigation.

Barrett followed the clues, arrested their chief, and used Veritaserum to confirm his charges of embezzlement, bribery, and intentional rebellion. He also captured other demon-seeker association chiefs, even members of the members of the Council of Hard Shield.

Among them, they seized a batch of magical items that should have been sealed up, but are now secretly put into use.

After a few days of tossing, no less than a hundred names have been recorded on Demacia's anti-rebel list, and this is just the tip of the iceberg related to the turmoil in Xiongdu.

In the council hall of Dawn Castle, Jarvan III in golden armor was sitting on the throne facing the gate with a gloomy face.

Xin Zhao held a three-clawed spear, stood behind him with a firm gaze and an expressionless face, like a lifelike wax figure, motionless.

Grand Marshal Tiana, Minister of Noble Management Wallis, Minister of Exchequer Borg, Minister of Foreign Affairs Camilla, Minister of Land and Resources Management Clements, and Minister of Law Newman sat on the huge round table that looked like a shield. , Bishop Isabel of the Illuminator Church.

In addition to them, their followers, advisors, lieutenants, and representatives of other minor families stood in the auditorium on both sides.

The seat opposite Tiana was vacant. It had originally belonged to Eldred, the head of the Demon Seeker Society and her husband.

However, recently, there have been frequent issues concerning the association of the Demonseekers, and Jarvan III has temporarily suspended his position, including his status as a member of the Council of Hardshield.

The hall of the council was very quiet, and even people's slight gasps could be easily heard.

Everyone knew that the king was in a fit of anger and was in a very bad mood, which made everyone dare not even take a breath, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed.

With the muffled sound of the "boom" door shaft turning, the opposite door of the parliament hall carved with exquisite shields, sharp swords and flying wings was pushed.

The guard on guard at the door, holding a halberd, knocked the end of the weapon in his hand, and the metal collided with the marble floor, making a crisp sound.

finally come……

Everyone in the hall looked at the door in unison.

I saw Barrett and Jarvan IV in military uniforms crossing the gate with serious expressions, followed by a familiar figure who had provided great help to Demacia - Li Lin.

Seeing the three of them, Jarvan III's frown was loosened a little, and he waved casually with his right hand holding his chin. The servant standing not far away understood, and quickly brought three chairs and placed them beside the king's throne. .

The eyes of several congressmen and ministers all flashed, with different thoughts in their hearts.

When the Council of the Shield was held in the past, no one had ever been able to sit on the Shield Round Table with the king and the eight members, not even His Royal Highness, or Barrett, who was close to the king.

But now, Jarvan III actually asked his servants to set up seats for them, which really surprised them, as well as the people who were watching the standing seats on both sides.

"Sit here." Jarvan III said to the three of them.

Soon, Li Lin sat on the king's right hand, while Jarvan IV and Barrett sat on two seats on his left.

Afterwards, Jarvan III sat up straight and looked around at the people around him, "Now that everyone is here, the meeting can begin."

His voice gradually fell, and the air fell into silence again. The dull atmosphere was not relieved by the arrival of Li Lin, the prince, and Barrett.

After a while, the king said in a cold tone: "Presumably, you should be very clear about the reason why I summoned you today?"

Apart from Tiana, who had an indifferent expression, and Isabel, who was very indifferent, the throats of the other five councilors twitched in unison, and they swallowed.

With that said, Jarvan III glanced at Barrett who was sitting next to his son, "Tell them about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Barrett took out a roll of rolled parchment from the shirt pocket inside the collar of the armor, then unfolded it and stood up, glanced sternly around, and cleared his throat.

"After my investigation with Generalissimo Tiana, a total of 136 suspects involved in the turmoil in Xiongdu were arrested, including members of all parliamentarians and ministers' families except the Crown Guard family."

As he spoke, Barrett lowered the parchment and glanced at them, his tone also mixed with sullenness.

As a good brother of Jarvan III, he is also very concerned about the fate of Demacia.

Apart from the Royal Family of Light Shield, the Bouvier family has contributed the most to this country.

Although Barrett also understands that where there is light, there must be shadows, but what he did not expect is that the kingdom, which is prosperous and prosperous on the bright side, has already been riddled with moths in the shadows.

At this moment, he really wanted to use the phrase "Shadows cannot be tolerated by the light" of the Illuminati sect to teach all noble children to scold these corrupt politicians for not doing practical things!
All the powerful and powerful nobles were infiltrated by hostile forces without realizing it, and even planned to assassinate King Jarvan III!

How could Barrett endure this?

"In this anti-counterfeiting list, there are 23 members of the Zachary family of the Minister of Law Newman, 21 members of the Fitch family of the Chancellor of the Exchequer Borg, 17 members of the Harlan family of the Minister of Noble Management Wallis, and the Cammy family of the Foreign Secretary. There are 13 members of the Cartel family of Rah and 6 members of the Omar family of the Minister of Land Resources Management, Clemenster."

The more he said, the more anger in his eyes grew.

Among them, the family names of the strong shield members and ministers on the anti-counterfeiting list were announced in public, and even he felt extremely ashamed.

Afterwards, Barrett snorted coldly, and read out the candidates from each family one by one.

Everyone's faces were drooping, and they were extremely ashamed, and they didn't dare to look up at the king and Barrett.

"The above-mentioned 80 people account for more than half of the entire anti-revolutionary list. I really don't know how you educate your own family's children?!" Barrett snapped, but no one dared to refute him at this juncture. .

Immediately afterwards, he read the rest of the list one by one. These people were all other minor families in Xiongdu, and there were even some little-known members of small families.

Just as his loud and angry voice echoed in the parliament hall, Li Lin and Jiawen III were observing the changes in expressions of the group of councilors in front of them.

However, since they can serve as members of parliament, they have all been in the political field for a long time. They can be described as veterans. They are relatively good at managing their expressions, and they basically don't see anything.

Ever since he was temporarily dismissed from office, Eldred still hasn't shown any signs, but under the scan and analysis of his brain, he has indeed panicked, as if something exceeded his expectations.

Li Lin is very clear that Eldred will not be the only mastermind behind the incident.

The mysterious person who pretended to be the Illuminator and provided Silas with the magic potion has not yet been found.

But today's Xiongdu, including the sewers, has been covered by Li Lin's drones and storm robots, and he can't escape at all.

In addition, Eldred won't be patient for too long, he already knows about Veritaserum, and it won't be long before he will meet secretly with his henchmen, maybe some of the five congressmen in front of him, or all of them .

When they meet, it's time to completely close the net.

After Barrett finished reading all the lists and preliminarily convicted most of them according to the laws of Demacia, he returned to his seat with a gloomy face.

The council hall fell into a long silence again.

"Newman, what do you think of this matter?" The king asked with a cold face without raising his head.

This time the Zachary family had the most people involved in the rebellion in Xiongdu, so many that even Newman himself didn't expect it, not to mention that he still manages the laws of Demacia...

The king's emotions and anger are invisible, and Jarvan III can still suppress his anger, and it is already very good to keep speaking calmly.

Newman cursed secretly in his heart before realizing that he was probably being tricked.

It's just that this member of the Zachary family is Eldred, Camilla, or Clement...

He doesn't know yet.

At least, it can't be the four backbone families whose strength can only be ranked in the middle of Xiongdu.

What Newman suspects most is Eldred. This hypocritical villain is one way before others, and another way behind others.

What's more, there are Noxians participating this time, which is completely different from their original plan of internal fighting, maybe Eldred did it!

Out of the corner of Newman's eye, he glanced at Camilla next to him, and it happened to meet her eyes.

As I said earlier, don't be so hasty to implement the plan!

This was what Newman wanted to convey, and Camilla understood it right away.

But she just looked away, much to Newman's annoyance.

"Lord Zachary, Your Majesty is asking you something!" Tiana urged in a dissatisfied tone.

"Oh yes!" He responded immediately, "For this riot, I express my heavy self-blame, it was my negligence in discipline that caused the children of the Zachary family to go astray and join this riot! When I go home this time, I will definitely rectify the house seriously to avoid..."

At this moment, Jarvan III slammed the table, interrupting Newman's words, and some people in the startled hall suddenly became clever.

"You should be clear, what I want to hear is not your foolish terminology." The king's voice was very indifferent, like the brief calm before the storm.

Newman froze for a moment, "I, I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty."

"Oh? You really don't understand?" Jarvan III sneered teasingly, "Why do I think your name should be on this counter-revolutionary list?"
