Chapter 17 Extermination
Is there another murder case? Du Chen and Steve jumped out of the carriage and said to himself that the security in St. John's City is not very good!
This is simply a paradise for those of them.
There are three vertical roads in the aristocratic area in the east of the city, more than a dozen cross-sectional paths, and the whole is a square. Now all intersections are blocked, and hundreds of noble families in the block have been ordered to stay at home and not be allowed to go out.
From other blocks, soldiers rushed over and over again. It was obvious that the murders here had just been discovered before the city guards received the news.
Du Chen asked the soldiers guarding the block, "I am Francis of the St. Cain family..."
Before he finished speaking, the soldier shouted: "The order of the command of the commander of the Legion of the Emperor's capital, General Kirisek, will be blocked immediately in the east of the city, and no one is allowed to enter or exit. Master Francis, please take a detour!"
As he said that, the soldier looked at Du Chen strangely. He heard from his colleagues in the city guard that the Saint-Kain family had become smarter. When he saw it today, he really lost his idiot appearance.
The soldier's attitude was firm and the commander of the army was moved out, Du Chen had to shruggle helplessly, "Okay, I can take a detour, but my house is inside, where can I get around?"
Steve stepped forward and smiled and said, "Dear Mr. Soldier, we are the sons of the deputy chief of the commander. It seems that my father's official position is bigger than General Kirisek, right? No, look at this!" He took out a sign from his pocket, the size of a palm, the fiery red, and the portrait of Sigru's death was carved.
The soldier immediately straightened his chest and saluted!
"Can we go in now?" Steve gently pushed the soldiers away and led Du Chen into the noble area, but his carriage and coachman were stopped outside.
"Brother, what is that brand for?" Du Chen looked at Steve curiously and treasured the brand in his arms.
"This is the token of the eldest son of the family. Sometimes, I can use it to represent the entire St. Cain family. But hehe, this thing is the best thing to scare the rivals!" Steve smiled and looked around again, "It's strange, it actually blocked the entire city. It's probably a big man who has something to do!"
While the two brothers were talking, a group of soldiers hurriedly ran over them, but they were not dressed in dark green short armor for soldiers in the city guards, but were wearing red heavy armor, holding red fire-patterned heavy shield and red horse-slashing sword in their hands.
"Wow, even the Verne guards were dispatched!" Steve shouted exaggeratedly, pointing to the team of soldiers and explaining to Du Chen: "They are one of the most powerful soldiers in the empire, the royal guards of Verne Palace! They are also the Hurricane heavy armored soldiers of the Krisson family, and our Holy Flame Knights Order are called the troops of the three great soldiers of Lanning!"
Du Chen's heart was shocked. He had just heard emptyly how powerful and glorious the Saint-Kein family was, but today he realized that his family had force that was not inferior to the Lanning royal family!
But so what? Du Chen has decided to leave, but before that, he has to get a huge sum of money first. Otherwise, would he still ask Lao Fuye and Ariza to be thieves with him?
"It's interesting. Verne's guards won't come out easily! Dear brother, let's go and watch the fun!" Steve excitedly pulled Du Chen and followed the guards.
The Verne guards ran neatly outside a manor. One of them broke into the door without saying hello, while the others raised heavy shields in front of the main gate of the manor and even formed a defensive formation during combat.
Du Chen asked Ariza to follow him to the manor. There was no statue in front of its door, which means that the ancestors of this family had never had a glorious titled God of Fighting!
Looking at the manor's door sign, Du Chen was stunned. This was the home of the Chancellor of the Finance Minister, the home of Fries who attacked him last night!
Is there an accident here?
"Steve, Francis, why are you here??" At this time, Angels and several other nobles came to the manor of the Chancellor of the Chancellor of the Constitution. Their official positions were higher than those of the Imperial Capital Army, so they would naturally not be subject to the ban.
Du Chen looked at the 'father' coldly and said nothing. Steve smoothed out: "Father, some accidents happened in St. John's Cathedral, but Godfather Ferdinand asked for confidentiality, you..." He looked at the other nobles who followed Angels, and the meaning was very obvious. Only the father and son could know the following words.
Those nobles left far away tactfully, and a few of them had extremely high official positions walked into the manor of the Minister of Finance.
Steve said: "Father, Fries was killed, and the murderer did not alarm anyone!"
Angels' face turned pale in an instant, "He was killed in St. John's Cathedral!?" He glanced at the defended Chancellor's Manor, "Fries died, and his whole family was killed. Could it be that their family offended a powerful fighting god..."
Suddenly, among the ministers who had just walked into the manor, a few of them covered their mouths and ran out while vomiting, "Oh my God, it's too cruel. Deputy Chief Angels, the situation inside is not suitable for civil officials to participate, so you soldiers should take over!"
Angels shouted: "You are important officials of the empire, keep your demeanor! What's the situation inside?"
"All died. Except for slaves and servants, the 27-member family of the Chancellor of the Consortium were killed, and... they were also skinned!"
Du Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't care about the disagreement with Angels, and whispered: "Fries was also skinned!"
Gaba, Gaba, Angels clenched her fists, and her bones were crisp and loud. Although Du Chen hated him very much, he had to admit that the fierce momentum of the level 8 Xuanwu Fighting God Angels at this moment made people dare not look at him.
"This is provoking the Empire, Hum, Steve, you take Francis home. You are not allowed to come out without my orders!"
...
When Du Chen returned home and met with Old Foye and Ariza, the warning order for the noble district of St. John's city was escalated. No one was allowed to enter and exit the noble district unless he held the order signed by His Majesty Balgena of the Empire and the Godfather of the Holy Church Ferdinand, and Du Chen and other insiders were warned to disclose any news!
It is no wonder that the family of the imperial minister of finance was destroyed, one of which died in the largest church in the Continent of Eince. This is provoking the Empire and the Holy Church at the same time!
In the evening, Angels returned to the manor, and there was no progress in the investigation of the murder case, and his face looked very bad.
late at night,
A group of figures in long robes came to St. Cain Manor, each with big hats covering his head, and seemed to not want anyone to know their identities.
"Stop!" The St. Cain family warrior came forward to intercept him, but the first one handed him a sign and whispered: "Let Angels and Francis come to see me!"
The warrior glanced at the sign, his expression changed, and he said solemnly: "I understand, please enter the inner courtyard and wait! Come and block the square in front of the door!"
After a moment, Angels hurriedly led his family to the inner courtyard, and Du Chen was also called out.
Angels quickly walked to the robe man, and at the same time he raised the three names of his left hand's nameless fingers and pressed them on his right chest. This was the etiquette between the God of Fighting, indicating that he was the eighth-level Xuanwu Fighting God. "Dear Godfather, thank you for visiting St. Cain Manor. Are you looking for Francis?"
