Working Prophet
Chapter 88 The spy hidden in the castle
With more than 1,000 believers by accident and a piece of land from Yileiya, Li Yu's work was saturated at once.
The land near the swamp has been burned, killed and looted by the lizardmen before, and now it is almost reduced to ruins, which can be said to be a waste of time.
Before leaving, Li Yu told the lizard men to use the next two days to clean up the place, demolish the destroyed buildings, collect the corpses on the ground, and have Miss Rabbit send someone to take them over.
The land that Ilea gave to Li Yu was the merger of the fiefs of the Trinidad Knight and the Purple Sparrow Knight, and there were originally about one or two hundred farmers living in these two fiefs.
Nowadays, most of these people have died at the hands of the lizard people, and a small number of lucky ones have barely survived, but they definitely no longer want to live with these horrific murderers who killed their relatives and neighbors, and they all mentioned The barrel ran away.
However, the vacant houses were still not enough for so many lizardmen, and some houses were destroyed by the war, so Li Yu entrusted Yago, the new manager of Teacup Castle, to help purchase one hundred tents and five hundred blankets. A total of one hundred and twelve gold coins were spent.
This can be regarded as a temporary solution to the lizard people's housing problem. As for the food, what they grabbed this time plus what they brought out of the swamp should be able to last for a while, so Li Yu didn't care.
Before starting to build the territory, he still has one more thing to solve, which is to help Ilea find out the internal response lurking in the castle.
When Li Yu left last time, he promised to deal with this matter within three days.
And counting the two days after he left, it actually means that Li Yu will find him today.
The news quickly spread in the castle, and the atmosphere in the castle suddenly became tense.
Many people subconsciously dodged when they saw Li Yu, from nobles to servants, they were all afraid of getting anything to do with Nei Ying.
And Li Yu visited Fausto, the former manager of Teacup Castle and now Ilea's advisor, early in the morning.
The two talked for about an hour in Fausto's bedroom.
Apart from Ilea herself, Fausto went to the room where Ilea handled government affairs the most.
On the day of the incident, Fausto was also the first to be suspected and placed under house arrest, because it was very easy for him to throw a note inside while Ilea was not prepared.
Just when everyone thought that the former manager of Teacup Castle was about to die, Li Yu walked out of Fausto's room again, and Fausto sent him all the way to the door. Both of them looked very different. Very peaceful.
Afterwards, Li Yu went to Miss Rabbit's great-grandmother, Ona, the most senior member of the Arias family.
However, Ona is different from Fausto. No matter how important the latter is, no matter how powerful he is in the castle, he is always serving the Arias family.
But Ona is a member of the family, and the elder of everyone. She is one of the owners of this castle. Even Ilea, the current head of the Arias family, has to be respectful when she sees her great-grandmother.
Many people think that Li Yu is going to hit the wall this time. With the old lady's temper, Li Yu is likely to be rejected.
But to everyone's surprise, Aona received Li Yu very readily. The two chatted for about half an hour, and Li Yu said goodbye again and left.
Then he went to see Alyssa... Throughout the morning, Li Yu basically visited everywhere and looked for people to talk to.
However, similar inquiries have gone through many rounds since the incident. Except for Ona, almost everyone in the castle has been interrogated, but the spy has still not been found.
So some people couldn't help but begin to doubt whether this foreigner in black clothes could fulfill his promise.
While waiting for lunch, Li Yu secretly winked at Jude.
The latter understood it and after eating, he quietly entered Li Yu's room while avoiding the attention of others.
"What do you want from me?"
Regardless of whether the owner agreed or not, Jude sat down on Li Yu's bed, stretched out his hand to grab the feather mattress underneath, and said, "Noble things are better, much more comfortable than the sheepskin blanket in my room." When I get back, I’ll buy a set and enjoy myself.”
After a pause, he looked at Li Yu again, "Let's make an agreement first. We will become familiar with each other, but the rules must not be broken. You have to pay for things you do with me."
Li Yu nodded, "I have found the spy, and I need you to help me catch him."
"There are so many people in the castle who can be used, why did you come to me?" Jude did not agree immediately, but asked instead.
"Because that person's identity is rather special."
"Special, how special?"
"The person inside should be Thomas, the retinue of Alfred Knight." Li Yu didn't hide it either.
Jude was startled, "This... how is this possible? He had captured Teacup Castle with Alfred. If he was an inside spy, he would have just opened the city gate while Alfred was resting. Now he is sitting here In this castle is the stepmother of that stingy rabbit."
"It's hard to believe, but it's true."
"How do you know? Did your god tell you that Saturday?" Jude asked curiously.
Li Yu did not answer this question, but said, "If I use normal means to capture Thomas, Alfred will definitely stop him, so I plan to capture him first and ask him why he wants to be a traitor, so that even if Alfred When De knew it later, he had nothing to say when he came over, which is why I came to you."
Jude's eyes rolled, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons. After a while, he spoke again.
"Although Thomas looks ordinary, he is actually quite good at martial arts. Alfred is his teacher and gave him a solid foundation in swordsmanship."
"That's why I came to find you."
"And Alfred is now in charge of the daily security of the castle, and all the guards in the castle are dispatched by him. Once Alfred finds out that I have done something to Thomas, he will probably mobilize the entire castle to deal with me."
"Are you scared?"
"No, I mean you have to pay more." Jude grinned.
"How much do you want?"
"Well, considering the danger of this operation, fifteen gold coins is not too much for me."
"I will give you twenty gold coins, half of which can be paid to you in advance now, and you have to bring someone to me before sunset at the latest, and I will pay you the other half."
"Deal!" Jude gave a thumbs up. "What I like the most is dealing with straightforward people. If you pay for it, I will do my best. I will definitely satisfy you."
Li Yu took out the bag containing the gold coins, counted ten gold coins from it and handed them to Jude. The latter took the money and immediately beamed with joy, especially when he heard the wonderful sound of those golden little things falling into the money bag. The face is even more happy.
Looking up at Li Yu again, he saw that the latter had already sat down at the desk and was playing with a strange little thing.
Li Yu waved to Jude and asked him to leave the room.
