She Is Not a Witch

Vol 3 Chapter 176: deflected search party

The southern border, Longjiao Province.

A team of more than a hundred investigators walked through the mountain road. They wore black cloaks and armors, long swords around their waists, and bows and arrows on their bodies. They were extremely elite.

In this team, the members with the lowest strength are also Sequence 2, and there are about 60 members above Sequence 3, and there are more than 20 elite members of Sequence 4, and the leader is a Sequence 6 investigator.

He is about 30 years old, with a solemn face and a tall hat in the shape of a bamboo shoot on his head, which is quite majestic.

"Is the Viscount Wenlani in front?" The black war horse raised its front legs, stepped in the air, and then stood on the spot. This is a mixed-breed horse-type monster. Although it only has Sequence 2, its endurance and speed are far superior to ordinary ones. horses.

"Yes, my lord. The current ruler of Viscount Winlani is the former viscount's daughter, Gewiel..."

"An unmarried girl?" Hearing this, the investigator frowned.

"Yes."

"There must be demons in every abnormality. How can she, a girl who doesn't know the world, manage her territory well? I'm afraid she is a puppet of some dark force, hmph."

"Let's go and have a look." After speaking, the officer waved his whip again, and then led the people forward.

The horseshoes splashed dust, and such a group of black-clothed cavalry gradually marched towards Yamazakura City.

——

In the lord's mansion in the city, Lu Bin commanded everyone busy and orderly.

"Have the fields outside the city been arranged?"

"It's been arranged. It has been stepped on several times by people leading the cows. It looks very messy and is no longer as neat as it used to be."

"The street has also been specifically entrusted. It has not been cleaned for a week, and a lot of garbage has been deliberately thrown out, making it look dirty."

"Let a few flexible old fritters get ready, and there will be riots and protests. This will show that our governance level is poor."

"The soldiers who were usually trained were disbanded and went home to work in agriculture, and a group of people were temporarily recruited as soldiers, so it seemed 'normal'."

"Several other surrounding towns have also made similar arrangements, and they have all sent people to take action."

"Boss, don't worry, what the other party can't see is just a true performance, haha." A few dark old farmers said to Lu Bin with a smile.

"Of course I'm worried about you, but who knows what kind of outrageous actions those people will make at that time." Lu Bin shook his head, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"That's it, everyone go home first, as agreed before."

"No problem!" After speaking, the crowd dispersed.

"Miss Jialan, what do you think?" Lu Bin was still a little uneasy after explaining, and asked Lorraine Hill beside him to see if there was anything missing.

"No, you've done a good job." Lorraine Hill raised one hand, spread out the hair on her shoulders, and then walked to the middle of the courtyard, closing her eyes and praying.

Immediately, a gust of wind gradually picked up, slowly rolling over the entire city, covering up some imperfect details and making it more natural.

——

In the afternoon, a rush of horseshoes stepped into the city. These elite cavalry stopped on the square in the city and looked around.

"Hello, sir, who are you?" A soldier stepped forward and asked, nodding and bowing.

"Where is your lord? I was ordered to inspect the counties in the province." Holding the rein in one hand, the investigator swept his eyes around the square and asked about the local situation. The streets here are similar to other places, a little messy, and it really is a small city.

"The lord's mansion is on the other side of the street, where Miss Geweier currently lives." The soldier pointed to a wide street.

"Very good, let's go." After finishing speaking, the group of people continued to move forward, and did not get off their horses until they reached the lord's mansion.

Seeing that these people were approaching menacingly, the guards at the gate rushed in to report, and a young housekeeper came out to greet them not long after.

"Hello, my lord, what is the reason for the sudden visit? Miss Geweier asked me to entertain you."

"There are some things." He said as he walked, and kept looking at the situation in the lord's mansion. Seeing that the beautiful environment here is completely different from the streets outside, he knew it in his heart.

Sure enough, she is a noble lady, who doesn't care about the outside situation, only cares about the environment where she lives.

Climbing up the steps of the mansion, before entering the hall, the investigator asked a group of his men to wait outside, and he brought only 10 people inside.

"Welcome, I'm Gewiel, and I'm also the owner of the current territory." A girl in a crow-blue dress saluted, and then asked the maids to come over and serve tea.

"Hello, Ms. Geweier." Although he didn't care about this weak noble girl, the superficial etiquette still had to be maintained. After a few simple greetings, the investigator asked about the recent situation.

"I heard that at the end of last year, there was a fierce rebellion in the territory, so that the former viscount passed away. How did you survive such a crisis?"

"This has to start with a hero passing by the territory..."

Gewiel began to tell how the nameless knight saved the city on that fiery night, and at the same time how he subdued the evil rebels.

His words were full of praise and praise for that knight, like a girl obsessed with love, although she did have a good impression of this hero.

Looking at Geweier's appearance, the investigator judged her to be a **** girl in a deep boudoir who lacks the knowledge of the outside world. It is estimated that the knight princess has seen too much and is addicted to such a similar character.

Such aristocratic girls are not uncommon, and he can meet several of them every year, so it has long been no surprise.

"Ahem." Interrupting Geweier's expectation and praise for the knight for a while, the investigator asked her about the whereabouts of the knight.

"Master Wuming left Longjiao Province some time ago and went to other places."

"Other places? Does he have a description." The man frowned slightly. Such a powerful person is always an unstable person wherever he goes.

"I don't know, but before he left, he said that he was going to defeat an evil organization in the dark."

"Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it?" In fact, as a search officer, he has heard of many similar things, but most of them are not true. Either it is to say that the enemy can be exaggerated for the sake of one's own face, or because of one-sided observation, the inferences are full of mistakes and omissions.

"There should be, because my father may have died because of them." Geweier sobbed slightly, telling how the evil housekeeper confused his father, corrupted the power in the territory step by step, and finally led to People's revolution.

"Oh, do you still have this potion? Is there any sample left? I want to see."

"This, I don't know, I usually tell the servants to handle it." Geweier narrated according to the previous explanation.

"What about the butler, where is he?"

"It's in the dungeon. If you want to see him, I can get someone to guide you." Geweier said he didn't care.

"Hmph, go and meet him, maybe we can find some clues about your father's death."

Not long after speaking, several guards, led by Lu Bin, took the men in black to a lower cell.

"The former housekeeper is being held here, Buwas." Lu Bin stopped at the intersection, and then asked the investigator to lead the three of them to face the arrested housekeeper alone.

The butler who was locked in the cell saw someone coming, and shouted in surprise.

"I was wronged, I was wronged, I blame those people, they deceived the eldest lady, and then arrested me. I am the one who is loyal to the Wenlani family."

"Shut up!" A black-clothed sergeant slapped the railing with a whip, causing the steward to jump in fright, before his voice disappeared suddenly.

"I ask, you answer." The investigator stood in front of the iron fence wearing a thick black cloak, staring at the butler with cold eyes, and behind him stood a group of black-clothed sergeants, with a particularly solemn aura.

"Yes, yes, you asked." The butler's voice softened and became weaker.

"Did you confuse the former Viscount with potions?"

"No, I didn't, it was a framed accusation, a false accusation!"

"Shut up!" a sergeant yelled again, interrupting his sophistry.

The gloomy magic power overflowed from these investigators, and slowly infiltrated the cell, making the butler feel cold all over his body, like a sharp knife being scraped across his body.

The short few seconds seemed like ten years, which was extremely long, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore.

"I said, I said, I did buy some special spices, er, perfume, yes." His voice trembled.

"But those are just to please Lord Viscount. You should also understand that a servant like me can only survive if he pleases his master."

"I didn't do anything to murder my master, I was loyal."

"You're lying." He stared at the butler with cold eyes, and the investigator obviously noticed that the other party was not telling the truth.

As a professional investigator, he has a lot of lie detection skills and abilities, such clumsy deceptions cannot be hidden from his eyes and ears.

"I'll give you another minute. If you still talk about it, then don't think about getting out alive." The voice was slow and cold, and the butler's voice froze as if stuck, and his body remained motionless.

Seeing that he did not reply, a sergeant began to count slowly.

"48, 47, 46...21, 20, 19...."

As the deadline approached, the butler's forehead began to sweat, and his hands felt a little trembling. He began to suspect that these people really dared to kill him, regardless of the face of the lord, Miss Geweier.

"No, no, no, I said, I said, I..." He raised his hand in pain, and only then began to explain some things in the past.

For example, how to catch that line, how to buy special potions, how to make Lord Viscount trust, and start hoarding money and so on.

After everything was explained, it was already several hours later.

These people took the records they had made, walked out of the prison in a hurry, and then let people simply say hello to the Lord's Mansion, and then got on their horses.

"Aren't adults going to stay and rest for a day? It's almost dark today." Seeing that these people were about to leave, the butler played by Lu Bin came out to persuade them to stay.

"No, next time." The investigator made a simple gesture, then waved his horsewhip, leading the group of people out of the city again, and embarked on another road in the dust all the way.

The previous rumors of Viscount Winrani were nothing but bragging and exaggeration among nobles, but everything that the former butler explained was very interesting. If the secret organization can be caught, it will be a great achievement~www.readwn.com ~And nobles engage in petty tricks in private, saving money and being greedy for money, those are trivial matters.

"Go forward, speed up, and reach the next city before dark!" The leading searcher shouted on his horse, and then there was a series of responses from the black-clothed cavalry.

"Yes, my lord. For the Empire!"

Under the dusk sky, the purple sunset glow spread across the horizon. Lorraine Hill sat on the city wall, her legs and skirt dangling in the air. She looked at the distant team with a light heart.

It can be regarded as sending these people away smoothly, which saves a lot of trouble.

If they really found out that the territory is now being organized and managed by the rebel army, I'm afraid they will have to take action at that time.

It won't kill them all, but returning to them is a big problem. Lorraine Hill stuck out her tongue cutely, expressing that it was still too difficult to kill someone, and then her body lightly jumped down from the high tower, falling like a light kite.
