Chapter 129 The Gallows in Kaifeng

Felicia met Marie at the intersection two streets away from the Chancellor's Palace.

"Too slow!" Mary looked forward to it, and finally saw Felissa's carriage slowly approaching, and couldn't help but scolded, "Do you know how long I have been waiting?"

In fact, there was still a lot of room left before the scheduled time, but Mary was anxious and arrived earlier.

Azarez glanced over with a cold look. Mary felt a sudden chill on the back of her neck, and instinctively shrank her neck. Her next words were inexplicably polite: "Let's go quickly." Then she sat back down on her own.

In the carriage, he urged the driver to move quickly.

Azarez sneered. He was hopelessly stupid, but his intuition was somewhat accurate. He was looking forward to what would happen to Mary after today.

The two carriages quickly arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Palace. There were already attendants waiting at the door. Seeing Mary and Felissa arriving one after another, they immediately greeted them with a smile: "Miss Mary, Miss Felissa."

As soon as Felissa was helped out of the carriage by Azarez, she heard Mary speak first: "Take me to see Safi!"

For those who didn’t know, I thought she was the one taking the lead during this visit.

It's just that she didn't have this awareness, but the well-trained attendant of the Prime Minister's Palace was more obedient than her. He looked at Felissa and saw Felissa nodded slightly to him, then turned around and guided Mary to the mansion.

"Miss..." Azarez hesitated and looked at Felissa who looked indifferent, frowning slightly, "You are not angry at all."

"It's not like she's angry," Felissa shook her head with a smile, looked at Mary's hurried back, and said softly, "Anyway, she won't have this chance in the future."

Having said that, sometimes it is inevitable to get angry when encountering this kind of thing, but Felissa always adjusts her mentality, so she is very calm.

Safi was waiting for them in the study. The dignified and elegant girl sitting at the table drinking tea was in sharp contrast to Mary, whose hair and skirt were slightly messy because she rushed over eagerly.

"Safi, you must help me!" The moment she saw Safi, Mary went straight to the point without any greetings, "I want to see Fred!"

Safi put down the tea cup unhurriedly and said without answering: "Sit down first."

Mary looked at Safi's indifferent expression in disbelief: "What time of the day is it, how can I have time to sit and chat with you?"

In fact, Safi has never sat down and chatted with any aristocratic women of the same generation except Felissa - it's not called chatting with Nancy - so Mary's talk of sitting down and chatting... is really embarrassing to herself.

Put gold on it.

"No matter how anxious you are, I have to send someone to ask His Highness if he is free at the moment. This round trip time is enough for you to drink a cup of tea."

When Mary heard this, she sneered and said: "I didn't expect that Fred's fiancée wanted to see him and asked him if he was free." She said with a "gloating" face: "Fred doesn't care much about you either.

.”

Safi turned a deaf ear. Of course there was no such procedure when she usually asked to see Fred, but there was really no need to explain this to Mary.

Felissa, who was a few steps behind, only had time to hear the last sentence, couldn't restrain herself and rolled her eyes.

This sour talk about sour grapes makes people speechless.

Safi saw Felissa, showed a slight smile, and greeted her: "Felissa, come and sit quickly."

This obvious difference in attitude made Mary very unhappy, but she just snorted and said nothing more.

While waiting for the return of the person sent by Safi to deliver the message, the three of them were speechless.

With Mary in the middle, it was hard for Felissa and Safi to say anything, and Mary had nothing to say to Felissa and Safi.

Fortunately, the messenger came back soon. This was just a formality, intended to draw the attention of all those who were paying attention to the development of the situation, both covertly and covertly.

Because next, it’s time to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. If it doesn’t attract everyone’s attention, how can this shock be effective?

Fred was waiting for them at the palace. He had prepared the stage and was waiting for the actors to come on stage.

"Your Highness," Safi held up her skirt and saluted, "I'm sorry to bother you today."

Then she was pulled up by Fred's own hands, and then Fred nodded to Mary and Felicia who were following behind, as a greeting.

"Is something wrong?" Fred looked at Mary and asked directly, "Safie said you wanted to see me if you had something to do?"

"Yes," Mary said immediately, "My father hasn't been home for many days. Can I go see him?"

"Of course," Fred said with a smile, "I will take you to see him."

Mary was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Fred nodded, whispered a few words to Safi, and then went out: "Come with me."

Mary followed without hesitation.

Felissa, who had been invisible all the way, spoke at this moment: "Where is Your Highness going to take her?"

Safi glanced at the closed door, pulled Felissa to sit down, and then explained to her: "Dungeon."

Felissa was shocked: "There is actually a dungeon in the palace?"

"It didn't exist originally," Safi shook her head, "it was built recently."

Both of them knew the purpose of building it, and there were probably many people living in the dungeon now.

Felissa didn't want to see what the dungeon looked like, she just asked: "So what are you going to do?"

"Hanging," Safi said simply, "in public."

In fact, the gallows that stands in a corner of the royal city and is separated by a high fence has never been taken out and used. After all, everyone knows magic. If magic can solve things, why use such crude methods.

But this time is different. This time, the royal family has made up its mind to make it public, so this gallows, which has never been used, will be used for the first time.

"This time, the nobles should probably panic," Felissa sighed, "it might cause turmoil."

There will definitely be people who are unwilling to sit back and wait for death. Whether they want to find another way out or escape directly, the royal family should also take precautions.

What she could think of, Safi could naturally think of, and she chuckled: "Wouldn't that be great? In fact, many people's charges are not treason, but if they really do something, they will not

It’s the same.”

"So, Beard has indeed made a big mistake," Felicia said thoughtfully, "or in other words, among those who have made big mistakes, he is the one best to catch."

"That's right," Safi nodded, "Do you still remember that unicorn brooch?"

It was really a long time ago, but Felissa naturally remembered that it was the opportunity for her to change her entire destiny. No one told her about the follow-up investigation of the brooch, but Felissa knew that there were some things that were not followed

She said she couldn't say anything, and over time, she put the matter behind her.

But now Safi mentioned...

"The fake brooch was transported to the royal city and replaced. It was Beard's way. This incident was the trigger. Following the investigation, many direct or indirect relationships between him and the abandoned avenue were found.

The most intuitive thing is the racecourse, and all the evidence is enough to prove that he is involved with the demons."

The charge of treason was firmly established, and Beard had no room for argument. The only thing waiting for him was the death penalty.
