Chapter 274 Please buckle the shit basin

The next day, Ice Castle Palace.

Li Si walked slowly toward the room with a cane. Along the way, he saw people on both sides whispering from time to time, talking about what happened last night.

Although His Majesty the King has not yet issued any formal orders, Li Si has clearly felt that the entire Ice Peak City has begun to become tense, especially the armed patrol troops that come and go on the streets from time to time, which adds a sense of chill.

This is the effect Li Si wants!

As an outsider, both parties must be unaware of Li Si's existence. If one person takes the initiative to muddy the waters in Bingfeng City, the whole situation will become chaotic, which is more suitable for Li Si to fish in troubled waters.

This is also the reason why Li Si gave the [intermediate high-energy bomb] to the player to complete the task. There are many bombs obtained from the teacher, and there are many more powerful ones, but the most eye-catching one is this large "firework".

The reason why Li Si chose this was to make the matter bigger. Such eye-catching "fireworks" would make it impossible for this matter to be covered up, and finally bring the conflict between the kingdom and Duke Ward to the table.

However, what happened last night is not over yet!

Li Si did not expect that the work efficiency of Sheng Sheng, Du Zi and other players would be so high. He just handed over the task to them and it was completed that night.

Ken Simon, a financial affairs officer, had just finished inspecting the Garza warehouse during the day when an explosion occurred at night.

If Li Si didn't react, it would be suspicious.

At this time, it is necessary to clear away the suspicion on oneself and pin the suspicion of the bombing on Duke Ward.

Tuk Tuk ~

"Come in~"

I saw Hans Cook, the clerk dressed in black, gently opened the door and walked in, saluted Li Si and said.

"Lord Simon, I'm here."

Turning around from the window, Lis looked at Hans seriously. When he first arrived, he asked the waiter to let Hans come to his office.

"Do you know what happened last night?"

Hans nodded and said with a somewhat ugly expression:

"You know, the Garza warehouse was attacked and there were two explosions."

Li Si sat back on the chair, his usually serious expression made Hans's eyes so gloomy that they were about to drip with tears.

"We just inspected the Garza warehouse yesterday afternoon and were attacked that night. What does this mean?"

"You mean?"

Hans was stunned and asked quickly.

"It means there must be something wrong in Garza's warehouse!"

"Although I don't know much about financial work, this is not without precedent in the military."

"He did not choose to act secretly, but instead used the method of blowing up the warehouse, which shows that there is probably a problem in Garza's warehouse, and the problem is huge!"

"So big that they have no choice but to do this!"

Hans was a little stunned. He didn't expect how his boss suddenly connected the warehouse explosion with their inspection work yesterday.

"But, Lord Simon, we clearly didn't find any problems yesterday!"

"This is what I don't quite understand."

"Maybe because you think we noticed something wrong with the Garza warehouse?"

Li Si tapped the desk lightly with his left hand, his tone uncertain.

After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice:

"I am discussing this with you. After all, you are more familiar with this aspect than me."

"Is it possible that this matter has something to do with Fiscal Auxiliary Philip? Do you need to report it to Minister Gilberto?"

"this"

Hans was also hesitant. His usual experience and subconscious told him that there should be no relationship between the two. How big of a mistake did Finance Assistant Philip have to make to do such a big thing just because of the risk of leakage?

You know, what was blown up was the Garza Warehouse, which was only separated from the Ice Castle Palace by a wall.

In fact, Hans didn't know much about what happened to Philip.

He was just following the orders of the Finance Minister and did not know the game between His Majesty the King and Duke Ward.

But at this time, looking at the deep and serious look on the financial affairs officer's face, he couldn't help but begin to doubt.

Could it be that there is really a connection?

Yes, regardless of whether there is any connection, I just need to report the situation, and there will naturally be dedicated people to verify the situation!

In the end, the responsibility will definitely not fall on me!

Hans, who had just come back to his senses, nodded deeply and said to Li Si:

"You are saying that you need to report to Mr. Gilberto."

"Then let's go, hurry up!"

Lis stood up, picked up his cane, and walked towards Chancellor Gilberto's room with Hans.

This is also the reason why Li Si persuaded Hans. After all, two people reporting together will always distract others' attention and reduce the possibility of being suspected.

After a while, Gilberto watched Ken and Hans disappear outside the door, and his originally calm expression immediately became serious.

The news that this financial affairs officer brought to me was really quite big!

Is it true, as they say, that the explosion at the Garza Warehouse is related to Duke Ward?

It was true that they had just targeted Philip yesterday, and something so serious happened today, and it directly involved Philip and Duke Ward behind him.

Thinking of this, Gilberto immediately couldn't sit still.

As the king's confidant, he holds the core power of the kingdom, so he is clearly aware of the delicate relationship and situation between His Majesty the King and Duke Ward.

Regardless of whether Duke Ward did this or not, His Majesty the King needs to know about it.

Gilberto pondered in the room for a while, then got up and walked towards the inner court of the Ice Castle Palace.

"Your Majesty, this is the situation."

Gilberto sat in the study room dedicated to King Lucar and respectfully described the situation he had just learned to His Majesty the King.

This study is the true core of the Ice Castle Palace, and it is also the place where His Majesty the King meets with his confidants.

However, at this time, besides Lucar and Gilberto, there was a third person.

"Anna, what do you think?"

Lukar's expression remained unchanged, and he turned to look at the young man sitting quietly aside.

Anna Seaforth, the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Kingdom of Dillon and Lucar's right-hand man.

The two studied and grew up together since childhood, and have always won Lukar's trust.

Of course, his abilities are also quite outstanding. Although he looks very young, he is very sophisticated in his methods. After taking office as the Minister of the Interior, he quickly put the old people under his command into obedience. No one dares to look down on the youngest person in the kingdom. Minister.

Faced with Lukar's inquiry, Anna did not answer directly, but talked about another thing.

"I have already checked on the explosion in Garza. There were two explosions in total."

"The first time happened at the gate of the Garza warehouse, and a total of four guards died."

"The second incident occurred inside Warehouse No. 8, and there were no casualties."

"The property damage is not as big as expected. There are not many things stored in warehouse No. 8."

"but."

"Did you find anything special?"

Hearing something different in Anna's words, Lukar asked in a deep voice.

"There is a large underground space three meters directly below the No. 8 warehouse where the second explosion occurred, which is roughly equivalent to the area of ​​the entire warehouse. It was discovered because of the collapse of the explosion."

Hearing this, the silent Gilberto suddenly turned his head to look at Anna, looking a little surprised.

Is there a secret space under Garza's warehouse?

There really is a secret!

Well done Ken and Hans!

After hearing the news, Lukar finally showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Just now, the Finance Minister reported the suspicions about the Garza Warehouse, and this is a big surprise for me. What do you want to do?

That's the Garza Warehouse!

Not only is it a warehouse exclusive to the royal family, but it is also quite close to the Ice Castle Palace.

There is a secret place underground there that the king doesn’t know about. No one dares to believe it if it’s not directed at the palace or himself!

"So, it was that guy Ward who did it?"

Lukar's face was a little gloomy. If Stellan Ward only offended the king's majesty before, if this matter is true, it would be a real threat to his life.

"What's in that space?"

Anna shook his head and said with some regret:

"Nothing was found, not even debris."

"What?"

Lukar was a little surprised when he heard this, and the successive news made him a little confused.

It was like someone wasted a lot of effort to make such a big noise from his sight, only to be told that it was just for fun.

"Your Majesty, I think there are two possibilities."

Anna said calmly, not affected at all.

"The first one is that the other party has just prepared this place in advance, and the corresponding arrangements have not been implemented yet, so now it is just an empty shell."

"However, I have carefully checked that the space should have been formed with the help of some special spell, and it has existed for more than half a year. The first possibility is not very high."

Lukar nodded and motioned Anna with his eyes to continue.

"The second one is as Gilberto said, our Duke Ward really has a problem. He evacuates everything in the space in advance, and finally uses an explosion to cover up possible evidence."

Anna said in a calm tone, not feeling at all how serious what he said was.

"So, do you think the second possibility is higher?"

Lukar looked at his subordinate and friend. He believed in Anna's wisdom.

"In fact, I think the likelihood of both is relatively low."

Anna still shook her head, leaned on the snow-white bear skin sofa, stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples.

"After all, I know the character of Duke Ward very well. He is thoughtful, but he is indeed a somewhat indecisive guy."

"How could he so decisively give up the hidden back-up plan that cost a lot of money just because of the possibility of the secret being leaked? And in such a flamboyant way? I don't really believe it."

"If he had the courage, he would have taken action long ago!"

"But apart from him, I can't think of anyone else who has the strength to do such a thing."

Lukar was a little silent, he knew what Anna meant.

The Ward family was actually a branch of the Dillon royal family, but that was a hundred years ago. Then, like many noble families, it declined for a long time until the patriarch who became the disciple of the legendary strongman appeared.

Therefore, the Ward family can actually be regarded as having the blood of the Dillon royal family, and legally has the right to inherit the kingdom.

When Lucar first inherited the throne, it was actually not secure. The previous Duke Ward had already passed away. Stellan Ward had been in power for many years, and his power spread throughout the kingdom.

However, Stellan did not take any action at that time. Although there was some offense, Lukar tolerated it and worked hard to regain the initiative. It is not easy now.

"Besides Ward, could it be anyone else?"

Anna pondered for a moment and did not give a definite answer.

"Your Majesty, all signs indicate that this matter must be related to Duke Ward. Some doubts are not important."

Anna said seriously, with a slight smile on her face.

"Maybe Duke Ward was decisive this time, or someone else was secretly planning it, but so what?"

"Since Duke Ward dares to do that kind of thing in the Garza Warehouse, it means that he does have a problem, and the problem is serious!"

"The best result we imagined before is probably impossible to achieve. Duke Ward must not be willing to give up the power in his hands, so he has such an arrangement."

Lukar's face was also a little gloomy, thinking about Anna's opinion in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't want to worry about so many things when preparing to go to war with the Kingdom of Fes. If Duke Ward could admit defeat obediently, for the sake of the legendary master, let him keep his current vast territory and become a stable lord. Best case scenario.

but now.

Lukar breathed a long sigh of relief, walked to Anna and sat down.

"Gilberto!"

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Finance Minister Gilberto has been sitting on the sidelines without saying a word. It is his code not to worry about anything.

"That financial assistant, Philip, I will ask someone to go back with you and arrest him directly for interrogation."

There was a hint of coldness in Lukar's eyes, and he said decisively.

"yes."

Gilberto responded immediately without any hesitation.

Originally, the king's intention was to take his time and slowly remove Duke Ward's influence.

But now, it was obvious that the king could not sit still. The conflict came too suddenly.

Anna thought for a while and originally wanted to say something, but then gave up.

"What!"

“You said the place where the explosion occurred last night was the Garza Warehouse!”

Duke Ward, who had sent people to investigate early in the morning, got the exact information and stood up directly to walk back and forth in the room.

"How could it be there?"

Duke Ward felt a little tricky.

It turned out that the Garza Warehouse had nothing to do with him, but after feeling the malice from King Dillon, he began to prepare some back-ups for himself.

It happened that at that time, the demon messenger Shaz Wood came to the door and wanted to cooperate with him.

Although Duke Ward was very hesitant about whether to really make a deal with this fallen man and open the [Devil's Gate], he still followed this man's request and prepared five special places in Ice Peak City.

The default location where the [Devil's Gate] opens for one child and one child!

The space underneath Garza Warehouse No. 8 is where one of the four branch portals is located.

"how so?"

Duke Ward felt his head was a little heavy. He felt something was wrong last night. He didn't expect that this would give him such a big surprise.

Although Li Si has not yet confirmed his cooperation with the demon messenger, and there is nothing in that space now, there is no doubt that Lukar must doubt him.

"Damn it, who did it?"

Duke Ward feels like nothing has gone his way lately.

At this moment, a soft voice sounded in his ears

"Oh, my dear Ward, why are you so angry? Do you need a glass of Styx water to sober up?"
