After lighting a cigar, Lu Ming looked at a small notebook in his hand and drew slowly with a pen.
Above are several names, members of the Hausberg family and some of the people involved.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the purpose of Frey's death was certainly not to frame him.
None of the opponents who were competing with him dared to commit such a shocking crime just to frame himself.
This is thousands of times more serious than shooting a few border commissioners. After all, the border commissioners are all civilians, and they just happened to have a political label at a specific time period.
But for a prince of the royal family, even a marginalized prince, the storm caused by his assassination will swallow up all the people and things involved in the surrounding area.
Unfortunately for me, I am right at the center of the storm.
His so-called enemies, such as the Hu family, and even their patron, Earl Chaxon, have completely different status and status than the Duke of Haussburg. It is almost impossible to say that they killed a prince to frame themselves. .
It can only be said that Frey's death must have been premeditated. He left his territory and came to Bucks City, which gave the people or forces who wanted to get rid of him an excellent opportunity.
Although the shooting made this shocking case the focus of the world's attention, in fact, it has become the most commonly used method to get rid of political opponents in modern society.
Because using traditional methods, such as buying people around you to poison or the like, with the development of science and technology, it has become difficult to truly hide the truth.
Moreover, this kind of planning is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and involves too many people. Once it is found that the death was abnormal, it is easy to follow the clues to find out the clues of the mastermind behind the scenes.
But shooting is different. The murderer can die on the spot, disappear, or even become a mental patient, etc.
The three gunmen who assassinated Frey were shot to death in the street, leaving no one alive.
One of the chants shouted by a gunman as he shot Frey was "Long live the glory of the people of Houseville!"
Housewell was the territory of the Duke of Houseburg. It was a small peninsula with a population of hundreds of thousands in the southeast of the empire. Gangs were prevalent there and it was also a distribution center for new drugs.
The People's Glory Party, the largest gang, has repeatedly won the majority of seats in the local city council.
However, with the support of Frey's father, more than ten years ago, the Kingdom's court declared the People's Glory Party to be a drug-dealing gangster organization and banned its legal political party status. The imperial military and police launched a special operation to sweep away the People's Glory Party like autumn leaves. In the crackdown, thousands of people were arrested and imprisoned, and dozens of key members were sentenced to hanging. Since then, the People's Glory Party has become a historical term.
The gunman's slogan made the assassination appear to be revenge from a drug gang.
However, Lu Ming looked thoughtfully at the names and information in the booklet.
As for the current main members of the Houseburg family, there is the Crown Princess, the widow of Frey's father, as well as two of Frey's cousins and an aunt. Before Frey was brought back by his father, one of Frey's The cousin's eldest son, Aldrich, was originally going to be adopted by Frey's father.
Looking at the brochure, Lu Ming was thinking about it. The sound of water in the shower room stopped, and he heard Jingren go to the cloakroom. After a while, the cloakroom door was opened, and the fragrant wind blew. Pan Mila came out. Lu Ming turned to look. Go, my heart skipped a beat, this gorgeous beauty with blond wavy hair and wet hair is still in the student uniform of a red and black plaid skirt behind a snow-white shirt, but the stockings have changed colors, becoming a few white light blue rings around the top of the stockings. The over-the-knee sports socks made her slender legs look even more colorful, making the little beauty even more beautiful and attractive. Both the uniform skirt and the light yellow canvas shoes were brand new, and there was no trace of dust on the soles. The kind that just steps on the bed.
Lu Ming whined in his heart, "Just go ahead and make trouble." His heart was pounding out of his chest.
However, Lu Ming turned to look at the pamphlet, gritted his teeth, and could only say helplessly: "The news just now is that Frey passed away and was assassinated. I think I still have to tell you."
Pan Mila, who was walking over with a smile on her face, was startled, and her movements about sitting on Lu Ming's lap were also halted.
"Heitou and Yuluan will take a short rest, and then we will turn around overnight. Please postpone this trip and look for opportunities in the future."
Pan Mila nodded slightly and glanced at Lu Ming suspiciously.
Lu Ming was helpless, "Look, even you thought I did it, right? At least, you are a little suspicious. What will outsiders think? I really can't clean it up if I jump into the Yellow River this time."
Pan Mila sat quietly next to Lu Ming, and after a moment of silence she said, "You are right, I do have a little doubt, because I know you have this ability and this courage, and most people outside don't." I think you have the ability and courage to do this.”
Lu Ming smiled: "Maybe, but because a duchess and I are brothers and sisters, maybe some people will consider things very complicated, especially now that the struggle for the heir to the imperial power is very fierce. Although the family no longer has much influence at the top, it is a branch of the royal family after all. Who knows if the group behind my god-sister wants to eliminate the voting rights of this lineage due to some messy things? "
"Because they are worried that this battle for imperial power will trigger a civil war after the death of the great emperor, some of the important ministers of the great emperor's Privy Council have proposed to restore the griffonian system that existed thousands of years ago when the empire was not established. The future great emperor will be elected by a vote of all the grand dukes. produce."
Pan Mila listened quietly, saying nothing, and just leaned lightly on Lu Ming's shoulder.
Lu Ming glanced at her, "What about you, are you okay?"
Pan Mila was stunned for a while, "I don't know, I have always thought he was dead, and recently I was worried that Bisi would be taken away because of him, but now..." Lifting up Qiao Qiao who was leaning on Lu Ming's shoulder Face, asked: "Is he really?"
Lu Ming nodded.
Pan Mira leaned into Lu Ming's arms again, quietly wondering what she was thinking.
Lu Ming gently hugged her with his arms. Whatever messy thoughts he had in this situation, they naturally disappeared.
"Bisi, is there any danger?" Pan Mila asked suddenly. Obviously, she had also thought of many possibilities.
"It's okay. I'm here with you. Bisi has been in Wolong Manor recently. Don't go out. There won't be any danger."
Lu Ming originally didn't want to discuss this matter so as not to worry her, but obviously if he didn't mention it, this smart girl also wanted to know some terrible consequences. After thinking about it, he said: "Frey has come to look for relatives, which means that there are some terrible consequences." Everyone within the family, including the Privy Councilors, knows about the existence of his daughter, but whether Bisi will have the right to inherit depends on what consensus the family, including the Privy Councilors, will reach. We will wait and see what happens. Well, not only Bisi, but you also try to show as little as possible recently, go back to the villa and control things outside."
After a pause, he asked again: "Is it really okay with you?"
Pan Mila didn't say a word, but leaned into Lu Ming's arms again.
