Chapter 489: Trouble

"Bang!" Lao Xie then slapped the table hard, and then said furiously: "Since you know the military rules, why are you still standing there? Why don't you pull this bastard out and chop it up for me!"

"Yes!" Lao Xie gave the order, and the guards around him rushed forward and caught the guy directly. Although the kid was also very strong and was almost level 4 or 5 warriors, he was still no match for a group of barbarian warriors. He was quickly knocked to the ground and tied up like a chicken. His subordinates also wanted to help at first, and as the first guy who drew his sword was cut in half by the barbarian warrior holding a battle axe, the others were immediately scared. After all, they were not yet at the point of sacrificing their lives for their superiors.

Everyone saw this attitude and was obviously serious and suddenly they were confused. Only Carlos, who had known the inside story for a long time, smiled bitterly and said to himself: "What an idiot. Stephen originally wanted to deal with you, but he was worried that there was no excuse. Isn't your kid's fuss to fulfill his wishes? Isn't this asking for death by himself?"

After the guy was taken down, he felt panicked and hurriedly shouted that he was wronged, and at the same time he quickly asked for help from the people around him.

One of the guys really couldn't stand it anymore, so he said sarcastically, "I said, he just wanted to go out, but he hadn't gone out yet. Why did this violate the military rules?"

"Yes, yes!" With the lead, the others also ordered and shouted: "As long as they haven't gone out, it's not considered a violation. You can't just cut people just because he shouted, right?"

"Haha!" Lao Xie immediately laughed and said, "Indeed, it's a bit unfair to chop off his head because of such a sentence!"

Speaking of this, Lao Xie stopped and deliberately looked at the guys who were making trouble. Sure enough, he saw that they all looked happy and thought Lao Xie was going to give in. At this moment, Lao Xie slapped the table again and said viciously: "But it doesn't matter, I have another reason to use it. Anyway, no matter what, this kid is dead today!"

After Lao Xie said this, the group of people were stunned. Even Carlos was no exception. He thought to himself, why did he shout fight and kill? Didn’t he promise Carlos not to kill? Was he deliberately lied to Catherine?

Thinking of this, Carlos was a little unable to sit still. After all, he and these generals had some personal relationships and connections. Although they had different political views, they were unwilling to watch them be killed. So he came forward and said, "What is your reason?"

Lao Xie gave Carlos a blank look, obviously very dissatisfied with Carlos' interruption. However, he still replied: "The reason is that this kid conspires to assassinate the eldest princess Catherine!"

"Ah!" Lao Xie's words immediately caused a burst of exclamation. Assassination of the eldest princess is not a minor crime. If you might be fine, you will have to kill the whole family! Even the nobles are no exception.

Carlos was also shocked and hurriedly said, "Is this true?"

"Fake it, he's talking nonsense, I'm wronged!" The trapped guy shouted immediately.

"Hmph!" Lao Xie said disdainfully: "This was personally admitted by the killers who were captured alive yesterday. What else can you make a quibble?"

"You're talking nonsense. These are just those outlaws who can't stand torture and bite them at will. Just a few nonsense words from a few killers, how could you convict me?" The guy shouted immediately dissatisfied, "Everyone is making the decision for me. This kid obviously wants to wrong me!"

"Yes, yes, the nonsense of a few killers can determine the life and death of a general? This is too much!" the others also ordered.

Carlos obviously thought that Lao Xie was framed, so he frowned and said, "Hehe. I also think it's better to be serious about this matter. After all, you don't have solid evidence, and it's really hard to convict just by the testimony of a few killers. No matter what, he is also a general!"

"Hmph!" Lao Xie didn't care at all what these people said. He first took the drink on the table and took a sip, and then said calmly: "On the day of the assassination, you sent your own adjutant. At around 12 o'clock in the evening, a group of black-clothed killers were received from outside your defense zone, and then these killers used the military uniforms you provided to pretend to be soldiers. Under the leadership of your adjutant, they passed the defense zones of the four armies in 5, 3, 8, 6 and directly to the central hinterland. As for the next thing, I don't need to say more, right?"

As soon as Lao Xie said this, Carlos immediately curled his lips and didn't believe it at all, because logically speaking, walking in a straight line is closest, that is, just passing through the defense zones of two armies, how could he deliberately go around the defense zones of four armies? Isn't this a matter of no need to find trouble?

However, when Carlos was about to defend them, he was surprised to find that the faces of those named changed, as if they were being said to be the center. This immediately aroused Carlos's idea, and he hurriedly said, "Why are you so pale? Could it be that this is true?"

"No, no!" the guy hurriedly argued: "It's him who is slandering people!"

"Yes, yes, it's so hateful!"

"That's right, there is no reason to take a detour without taking a shortcut. This kind of slander with all kinds of flaws is simply not technical at all, and it's just nonsense!" The generals of the other four armies also shouted. Because this fact is too great, if the killer lets his defense zone pass, it would be a crime of dereliction of duty if it is less. If it is even a co-conspirator of the assassin, it would be even worse, so they all denied it.

"Haha!" Lao Xie said calmly: "It's useless for you to argue. I've already had a mountain of ironclad evidence!"

Seeing Lao Xie's affirmation, Carlos immediately asked in confusion: "It's really a mountain of proof? Then can you explain to me why the killers are going to take a detour?"

"Of course there is no problem!" Lao Xie then sneered: "First of all, we must know that the executors of this assassination are you five generals, and you all participated!"

Lao Xie's words were like a bolt from the blue, and he knocked out the person who was about to be reappeared.

However, Lao Xie ignored this and continued to explain: "As for detours, it is actually very easy to explain. Because you five guys are not a single piece of solid body, they are somewhat rubbing each other. Now, for some reason, they want to work together to assassinate the eldest princess, and naturally no one wants to get involved. So you are in trouble in receiving the assassin group. If the assassin only passes through two defense zones, then after this, the three generals who did not participate in the matter will be held by the participants, and they can kill the other party as soon as they are thrown out."

"But none of you are stupid. They are old fry in the officialdom. How could you be willing to give others such a big handle? But this matter still has to be done, so you have an idea, that is, everyone will participate together. In this way, the five people will have a handle, and no one will be afraid of being blackmailed by others!" Lao Xie then sneered: "So, those poor assassins have to go all within the defense of the five armies. In this way, they will become accomplices. It is impossible for anyone to dare to betray others!"

"Is what I said right? Everyone?" Lao Xie asked them with a smile.

Can they admit this? So several people quickly denied it, and the guy tied up even complained: "You are all nonsense! There is no evidence at all!"

"Haha, who said I have no evidence?" Lao Xie smiled and said, "Did you never see your adjutant this morning?"

"Ah!" When he heard this, the man was so scared that his face turned pale and hurriedly said, "What's wrong with him?"

"Nothing. I just invited him to have a drink last night. At the table, he told me all his crimes, which were extremely detailed. For example, when, where and what kind of killer he took the head, where he got the military uniforms, and the road they took them on, and he told me the jokes he told the officers guarding the checkpoints along the way!" Lao Xie then sneered: "Thank him the blessing of super memory, I then invited all the officers who had already met him when they were on guard. The confession has not been recorded yet! How about it? Is this a mountain of evidence?"

When the people around him heard Lao Xie's words, their expressions became wonderful and anxious. The people involved were so scared that they were completely out of their minds and almost all of them were about to fall down. The other irrelevant people looked surprised, as if they didn't expect that they had the courage to participate in the plot to assassinate the eldest princess. At the same time, they couldn't help but admire Lao Xie's skills. In just one day, they caught the hidden traitor, which was really amazing.

In fact, the reason why Lao Xie could solve the mystery so quickly was mainly because of the light of soul searching. He first used this spell to get the location where the killer and the traitor were connected from the killer leader. Then Lao Xie inferred that the defense chief there must be a problem. So he grabbed his confidant and questioned him. Lao Xie used soul searching on him and found out a lot of truths, and then followed the clues, of course, it was easy to capture and without any effort.

Of course, the angry person here is Carlos. Although he suspected that there was a traitor, he didn't expect that the traitor was the person around him. He was still talking to these guys. Suddenly, a sense of humiliation of being deceived appeared out of thin air, which naturally made Carlos angry. So he went straight to grab the guy's neck and roared, "Did you do it?"

"This~" The man was already stunned by the large amount of information that Lao Xie had mastered. He didn't react until Carlos asked and hurriedly said: "This must have nothing to do with me, but it may be my adjutant who acted privately! Yes, it was all done by him without telling me!"
