The maid who was entrusted by the guards quickly explained everything. In fact, Xia Ya's bodyguard didn't torture the woman very much, but she was frightened by Xia Ya's aura, and the woman quickly said everything.
After getting a confession, Xia Ya only glanced at it, and her face immediately became very gloomy!
He was sitting in the hall, sitting in the position where Daphne was sitting, holding the confession in his hand, his face ashen. The guards around are all looking grim and full of suffocation!
Someone dared to poison the VIP of the General in this place in Denzel City! And everyone knows the identity of the poisoned Daphne! If a queen dies on Xia Ya's territory, then as Xia Ya, he can't escape the relationship no matter what, and he has to be implicated no matter what.
Everyone knows the seriousness of this matter.
Therefore, the guards all put their hands on the handle of the sword, and their hearts gave birth to the same hatred of the enemy. As long as the general gave an order, these men who fought and bleed with him on the battlefield would use the knife in their hands, Cleave any enemy in front of you to smithereens!
Finally, after a long time in a silent atmosphere, Xia Ya stood up slowly, stepped to the side of the hall, took a lamp on the case, and put the confession in his hand in the In the flames, it burned.
"No one will say anything about today's matter, just pretend it never happened." Xia Ya turned to look at the guards behind him: "If anyone spit out half a word, the military law will be engaged!"
All the guards stood solemnly and answered in a deep voice.
"Those maids..." Xia Ya's heart flashed a bit of suffocation. To be honest, with a general like him who killed countless people, if he wanted to silence, all these maids would be killed directly. It's just a matter of words, but Xia Ya After pondering for a while, he sighed: "I warned them fiercely, if they dare to talk too much... hum! You can do this, Hawke. Also, the guards here have added a team to patrol day and night. From today onwards, here Any person entering or leaving the house must be strictly checked, whether it is the cook in the kitchen or the clerk who delivers the vegetables, from the steward to the groom, all of them will be carefully checked for me. In the future, the food here will be carefully checked, and there must be no more occurrences. error."
Hawke responded immediately.
"Starting today, you should relinquish the position of the chief guard of my garrison house." Xia Ya glanced at Hawke.
Hawke's face changed, and suddenly his voice trembled: "Big, my lord, don't you want me to follow?"
Hawke has been determined to follow this master since he was on the wildfire field and witnessed Xi Ya blocking a thousand people with his own eyes. Frustrated.
"Stupid." Xia hummed and looked at Hawke: "You are so old, how can you stay by my side and be the head of the guard. Starting today, I will appoint you as the sheriff of Denzel City. The security team in the city, this matter today must arouse our vigilance! Hawke, as we grow stronger, more and more people will definitely stare at us, and some people will inevitably do something! Today We found out that there is a spy lurking here... Hmph, can you guarantee that there is no hidden spy in other places in Denzel City? Today this spy is just poisoning the queen's diet! What if other spies poison the canals and wells in the city, or do something else?"
Hawke's face froze.
"I'll hand over the security of Denzel City to you, and you should start investigating immediately! It's mainly the new faces that have appeared in the inner city recently, as well as those who came back from Osgilia with our large army... One by one check!"
After a pause, Xia Ya said again: "There are not enough people in the Public Security Department, I will add people to you! I will give you a warrant, you can go to the garrison and select a hundred people. You can choose any person you want. You If you want someone, I will give you someone, and you have to equip and I will give you equipment! I only have one request, within a month, find out all those mice, cockroaches and other things lurking in our city!"
Xiaya actually knew in his heart that Hawke was not the best person to do this.
Although this young warrior is loyal to himself, and young and energetic, his temperament is a bit hot and upright, and he is used to investigate these spies in the city, I am afraid that he may not be careful enough.
In fact, in Xiaya's mind, the most suitable candidate for this task, he has two in mind, one is Reinhardt. The young officer was witty, ruthless, cruel, and very flexible in doing things, but Reinhardt was also an excellent military talent, and a guy who was transferred from the army to be such a spy chief would be too talented.
The second candidate is Dax. That legendary spy from Landis did exactly what he did. However, Dax has now thrown Xiaya to the Besta Military Region as a contact person and will not be able to return for the time being.
Moreover, Char did not intend to let Dax do such a thing as soon as he came up.
Although he has not yet mastered the essence of being a leader, he at least understands one truth: at any time, this kind of spy agency must be firmly in the hands of the leader! The spy agency is a freak-type organization. If the leader can't fully grasp it, I'm afraid it will cause disaster!
That guy Popovdax has absolutely enough ability and ability, but his loyalty to himself is a big question mark.
Although Hawke lacks some abilities, his loyalty is not a problem, and he will meticulously complete the things he has explained to him. Although it is a little rough, it can still be done by letting him clear the city of Denzel for the time being.
Wait for Hawke to set up the shelf of the public security bureau, and the candidates for the built-up shelf are all selected by Hawke, and they must all be loyal to him. Then after Hawke has worked for a period of time, he established the centripetal force and cohesion of the organization, and completed After the establishment of this organization's loyalty to itself, another candidate will be chosen. At that time, let Dax take over. Although Dax's loyalty may not be reliable, the backbone of this organization is loyal to himself, and Xiaya is also You can rest assured.
"Then give our Denzel City a cleanup first!"
There was a hint of coldness on Xia Ya's face!
To be honest, this incident really touched Xiaya's inverse scale!
In his territory, there was actually a poisonous assassination, and if he hadn't accidentally smashed it, Daphne would have really died!
A dangerous signal from this event: not safe! !
Yes, not safe!
Even in his own home base camp, there were unsafe signals, which Xia Ya couldn't tolerate.
What if the spies and spies were more than the maid? Who else
Even if Xia Ya himself is strong, he is not afraid of assassination or poisoning... But what about the people around him and his subordinates
The backbone generals under his command don't have the ability like him! In his mansion, his future wife still lives! Adeline is a weak girl, if someone strikes at her...
Char can hardly imagine that kind of thing.
All the maids and servants in Daphne's residence were strictly interrogated. The guards kept the inside and outside of the place closed, and this matter was strictly kept secret. In order to deal with this matter, Xia Ya had to stay here temporarily.
Before he could ensure that all the servants were "clean", Char had not allowed anyone to approach Daphne any more.
After all, it was clear that the queen was the target of the assassination.
Daphne has been carried into her bedroom, which has been strictly checked by Char's guards.
As a result, Xia Ya was taken aback!
A needle was found in Daphne's pillow!
The needle of that needle was smeared with poison!
I heard that Daphne has a habit of taking a nap every noon! It is conceivable to join her and go back to her room to rest after eating... Once she is in bed, then...
This discovery immediately caused a great shock to Xia Ya. He ordered an immediate and rigorous investigation, and finally found out that the people who could enter and exit Daphne's bedroom were Daphne's two personal maids.
Daphne and Adeline had come alone at first, and these two personal maids had only recently started to serve her.
After being closely scrutinized by the two personal maids, one of them finally confessed his crime!
Second spy!
This result made Xi Ya furious!
"Haha! Good! What do they think of Lao Tzu's base camp? Think of it as a restaurant? Come as you want, and leave as you want? Can anyone come in at will?!"
Xia was burning with anger.
What surprised him even more was that the spy who put the needle in the pillow and the spy who poisoned the soup bowl were not the same group!
Soon, the second confession was placed in front of Xia Ya.
After Xia Ya saw it, he sneered: "Very good, this second confession is handed over to the Public Security Bureau for storage! Then publicly disclose this matter! This spy is publicly tried and then executed! It's a big trouble for me!"
"Then... what about the first poisoned spy?" Hawke wondered.
"Hey..." Xia Ya sighed, looked at the upright young man, and whispered: "Hawk, do you think the origin of the first spy can be announced? The poisoning can only rot in the stomach, Can't say it! Understand?"
Although Hawke was a little upright, he was not a fool after all. He understood after a little thought, his face turned pale, and he quickly walked out.
"Hmph, it's really ridiculous! It's a human or a ghost, and they all come to beat me!"
The first confession, the spy who poisoned the soup bowl, the origin is something that Xia Ya must not disclose!
Just because that poisoned maid came out of the palace!
Yes, the Royal Palace of Osgilia! !
Xia Ya couldn't help but feel that she was really naive!
Now that the emperor knew that the queen was with him, but deliberately did not mention it and did not mean to welcome the queen back, it was obvious that he did not want his wife to go home! But since he didn't want Daphne to go home, it would be too immoral to let a living queen live in a local noble's house for a long time, so... the emperor's meaning is obvious!
He wants Daphne to die.
The poisoned spy entered his own team with a maid sent to him by a noble of the imperial capital, and then came to Denzel City with a secret mission.
When Xi Ya sent a maid to Daphne, the spy behaved very decently, politely, and well-trained, so he was easily selected.
And the result of the interrogation made Xiaya very annoyed that there was actually a scandal in it!
In charge of choosing a maid for Daphne, Xiaya handed it over to a steward in the mansion, and this spy, in order to ensure that he could be selected, went to the queen's side, and actually bribed the steward!
She came from the imperial capital, and naturally it is impossible for her to carry any property, so her way of bribing is to use her body!
This confession made Xia extremely angry!
All along, he has given enough trust to the people around him. Most of the attendants in his family were from the army, and some people who were wounded and retired in battles, he would also choose and arrange to serve as stewards or attendants in his own home, which could be regarded as a way of life for these people.
And the steward who was bribed was a wounded retired officer!
"Arrest, how should the trial be, how should the sentence be sentenced. Don't condone, and don't deliberately increase the punishment." Xia Ya's tone was very weak.
This incident made Xia Ya very angry and annoyed. She was angry and mourned for her misfortune!
As for the second spy, Xia Ya laughed in anger!
The second spy actually came from the rebel warlord party camp!
The speaker of the Red Roundtable, sent by the forces of El Salvador! !
These goddamn rebels, so quickly put their minds on Lao Tzu!
Xia was very annoyed.
"This is normal." Dora said coldly in her mind: "You made such a big limelight, made such a big battle, defeated Odin's army, and regained the territory of two counties of the empire, plus you The original Moore County, you now sit on the territory and population of three counties, and your strength is so strong that you are second to none in the northern part of the empire. And you have also made a contribution to the King of Qin in the south. The city of Osgilia The rebels were hit hard in the external pursuit, and the rebels naturally hate you to the core."
Dora's explanation is very reasonable: "The emperor can know that the queen is with you, why can't those rebels know? You are now a duke by the royal family, and you are the general of the northern garrison. You are an old subordinate of General Adric. , Adric will be the vanguard of the empire to destroy the rebels. You, the northern garrison general, according to the rebels' inference, will definitely join the war to help! Then you are the enemy! Now that you know that the queen is living here, the rebels Of course, I will make up my mind on this matter! You think, if the assassination is successful and the queen dies with you, then the relationship between you and the imperial capital will break down! Even if you maintained a good relationship in face before, but once the queen dies According to the information disclosed by you, even if the emperor does not want to deal with you, but such a big thing, such a big impact, it will not work if you don’t want to deal with it! When the time comes…”
"I understand." Xia Ya took a deep breath.
"This idea is very clever." Dora also sighed, full of praise: "Not only can the relationship between you and the imperial capital be divided, but at the same time, if the royal family has to deal with you because of this matter... Then it will inevitably cause Adric's dissatisfaction, Everyone knows that you belong to Adric! And once Adric is dissatisfied, it will further divide the relationship between Adric and the royal family! Look, if this is successful, it will bring great benefits to the rebels ."
"Hmph, if you want to hit Lao Tzu's idea, you have to prepare for Lao Tzu's revenge." Xia Ya spat fiercely.
Then he sneered: "But El Salvador did me a favor!"
He ordered to seal up the poisoning of the spies of the royal family because it would cause a huge scandal, and he has not yet planned to completely break with the royal family, so this matter cannot be made public.
But the spies of the Salvadoran rebels are different.
The assassination plot by the rebel spies should not only be made public, but the bigger the fuss, the better!
This is also a strategy of Char.
Isn't your Emperor Garcia unwilling to admit that the Queen is here with me? Did you ignore it on purpose? Are you pretending to be stupid
very good! I want you to be unable to bear it!
Spread the word, the rebels sent spies to assassinate the imperial queen who was temporarily living in Denzel City! Once this matter is announced, the little emperor can no longer pretend to not know that the queen is here, right
"But... in this case, the emperor is forced by you, I'm afraid that he can only send someone to welcome this little girl back." Dora's voice was a little suspicious: "You know that the emperor wants to kill her, if you let him welcome this little girl back. Girl, she's dead, you..."
"It's not that easy. I'm not so ruthless, let her go back to die." Xia sneered while touching her chin: "I won't let her really go back, this matter, I will turn it into a thorn, stab in the In the little emperor's throat, he can't spit it out or swallow it!"
At this time, a guard came to report.
"General... Empress... Your Highness, she is awake, and she wants to see you immediately."
Xia Ya looked solemn and nodded: "Okay, I'll go right now. Hmm... What did the doctor say?"
The guard replied: "The doctor... was kicked out of the room by the queen. His Highness said that she only saw you, and no one else."
Xia's face was a little weird, so she had to follow the guard to Daphne's bedroom in the back.
The bedroom was a mess because it had been heavily searched by the guards before.
And Daphne lay on the bed, still pale. When Xiaya walked in, Daphne was staring at the ceiling with those charming eyes open. Hearing Xi Ya's deliberate footsteps, Daphne lowered his eyelids and glanced at Xi Ya.
What a sad look it is!
Xia Ya sighed in her heart, walked to the bed, bowed her head and saluted: "His Royal Highness..."
"No need to be more polite, General Char." Daphne's pale face squeezed a wry smile: "I see, you saved me again. Counting this time, I already owe you twice for saving my life. Thank you for your kindness. I won’t say much about it. I will write a letter to go home, and my father and brother will give you a huge repayment.”
Xia Ya smiled bitterly: "I don't need to say more about the repayment, you are the queen, and I am your courtier... Moreover, you are also Adeline's good friend. She came to me from the imperial capital north, and you took good care of her all the way. I… "
"Okay, Char." Daphne's tone suddenly became very weak, and he whispered: "If you're polite, you don't need to say more. I invited you in because I wanted to ask you one thing."
"Um?"
"Please, please..." Daphne's voice trembled: "Please, send someone to take me back to the imperial capital."
