Chapter 315 The insurance is gone

Even though it was windy and rainy, even though it was getting late, the two carriages still left Naspar and galloped towards Muxing City.

Sistia, who was sitting in the carriage, was still crying, but the noise was much less than before, maybe because he was a little dehydrated.

When something happened to his father suddenly, Sistia suddenly lost his mind. Maybe he instinctively wanted to find someone to rely on, so he went crazy to find Pei Renli.

Having said that, in Sistia's heart, Perenli should be fairly reliable.

And Perenli was also on the carriage, not because he had any way to fish out Sistia's father who was arrested, but because something happened at his friend's house, and it seemed too boring not to follow him.

Kaya and Korra happened to be on a mission, and they were not expected to come back until tomorrow. In addition, there was some final finishing work on the potion formula. Eve asked Perrenli to go back with Cistia to take a look, and she would wait for Korra tomorrow.

Come back with Kaya and take a carriage to Muxing City.

Even if it can't be of any help, just standing next to Sistia at this time can be considered helpful.

In addition to Pei Renli, there was also Princess Sally on the carriage.

These two equally beautiful girls seemed to have a lot in common, and they became best friends not long after they met. At this time, they followed him and softly comforted Sistya, who was crying.

As mentioned before, it is not difficult to take a leave of absence from Adventurer School, as long as there is a valid reason.

Pei Renli asked Teacher Grace to write a note of leave, and when she told the matter, Teacher Grace was also shocked.

The specific manifestation is that the red wine I just drank is sprayed all over the floor...

Most of the students don't know about Sistia's family background, and she herself doesn't talk about it loudly, but the teachers and principal obviously know.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Westia family dominates the sky in Muxing City. Even in other countries, it is quite influential.

The leader of such a family can be arrested at any time. Once trouble breaks out, there will be great drama.

Pei Renli was also puzzled. This was inconsistent with common sense. No matter how young and ignorant the city lord was when he released the city lord from Muxing City, it would not be possible for all the think tanks around him to follow the collective wisdom, right? Have you not considered the consequences of arresting people casually?

The fact is that the staff and think tanks went offline collectively, and the other five people in the six-member council did not seem to stop them. They were arrested as soon as they said they would be arrested.

Besides, you have to give a reason to arrest someone, right?

Pei Renli read the letter sent by the housekeeper. It didn't mention why he was arrested. In short, the situation was extremely urgent and he asked Sistia to come back quickly.

For a moment, Pei Renli thought that someone was "falsely passing on the imperial edict" to ask Sistia to leave the Adventurer School, and then intercepted and killed him on the way back to Muxing City.

It happens to be rainy weather right now. If we really do it, the heavy rain will destroy many traces, making it difficult to trace it afterwards.

But after Alindra and Tana confirmed, the handwriting of the letter was indeed the housekeeper's, and the stamp at the bottom of the letter was indeed unforgivable.

This sudden situation caught Perenli off guard, not to mention that Sistiya panicked.

Originally, he wanted to use Hisidia's father's influence and connections to build a good relationship with the top management of Mu Xing City. After the Demon Kingdom was established in the future, he would definitely have to deal with Mu Xing City. At least this could be used as an insurance policy.

It's like taking out insurance, but then the person is fine and the insurance company is gone.

Pei Renli rubbed his temples, he needed to organize his thoughts.

The first thing that can be determined is that this matter is definitely not the work of the other five people in the six-person council of Muxing City.

No one in a high position can save money. It is impossible for them not to see the consequences of such a simple and crude arrest. If they really want to deal with Sistiya's father Nethar, they have to cut off his hair at the same time.

Wings, otherwise just catching people in will have no effect at all, and it is very likely to plunge Muxing City into chaos.

After all, Neitehar's family controls a quarter of the shipping industry. If nothing else, as long as they announce a two-day shutdown, Muxing City's purse strings will be tightened. If the business is suspended for a month, everyone will have to beg for food.

.

No one can afford the consequences of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to oneself. It is not something that a seasoned politician can do.

Perhaps the still young city lord listened to some slander and then made an unwise move?

After all, arresting Nethar cannot be done just by asking the Sheriff to come to your door. There must be a formal order, otherwise the Sheriff would not dare to go.

Thinking about the possibility of this matter in his mind, Perrenli heard Sally comforting Cistia:

"Stop crying, don't worry, nothing will happen."

So far it was normal, but Sally suddenly changed his tone:

"If it doesn't work out, I'll ask my brother to send a diplomatic letter. It should give us some face. You can move to Brevoir."

By saying that, aren't you just rubbing salt into other people's wounds?

As soon as these words came out, Cistia cried even louder.

This Princess Sally is indeed not very understanding of human nature...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Since it was already evening when we set off, and due to the delay of the heavy rain, it was almost midnight when we arrived at Muxing City. Fortunately, the city gate of Muxing City was always open day and night, otherwise the group would have to spend the night on the carriage.

, you can’t enter until the city gate opens in the morning.

The old butler Wise was holding an umbrella, as if he had been waiting at the gate of the manor for a long time. He finally saw the carriage that went to pick up Sistia coming back. He seemed a little excited, and his neatly ironed butler's uniform was soaked by the rain.

Not even knowing, he hurriedly came to greet him.

Sistia was even more excited. She jumped out of the carriage, threw herself into the butler's arms and burst into tears. She said that her mood stabilized a little on the road because she was holding back her big move.

Compared to Cistia, the housekeeper was relatively calm. It felt like he had seen any big storms before and was not at all panicked.

But Pei Renli saw it clearly. The housekeeper almost rolled his eyes when she hit her. She probably hit his lungs...

"Mr. Pei Renli, thank you for accompanying the lady back."

"No, it's nothing."

At this time, Cistia finally cried hard and exhausted too much energy. At this time, Sally was accompanying her in her room.

The butler placed a cup of hot tea in front of Pei Renli, still standing upright:

"I shouldn't have told the lady at first, but no one at home can make up my mind. Many people came over today to inquire about the situation, and there is nothing I can do."

Nethar is not a man who covers the sky with one hand, but his family, but he is the leader. The disappearance of the helmsman will definitely make the relatives in the family panic. At this time, someone who can control the situation is needed to preside over

The big picture.

Unfortunately, this person must and can only be Sistia.

Speaking of this, Pei Renli asked:

"Excuse me for being rude, why was Mr. Nethar arrested?"

The steward shook his head and said:

"I don't know the specific reason. This morning, when I was about to go out, someone came over with an arrest warrant. The charge they claimed was endangering public order and intending to subvert and destroy Muxing City."

This is almost tantamount to the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Logically speaking, Nethar must have some less than legal income and industry. Perenli is not surprised, but collaborating with the enemy and treason...

Brother, this makes no sense.

Nethaar's foundation is in Muxing City. Is he going to destroy his foundation when he is so full?

"The arrest warrant brought by the security team? Mr. Nethar was simply arrested?"

"No, not from the security team."

The butler winked at the people around him, and the maids nearby all understood and avoided him.

After everyone had left, the housekeeper whispered to Pei Renli:

"The people who brought the arrest warrant are Yinxing. They are people directly subordinate to the city lord."

No wonder, after all, the security team really doesn't have the courage.

The Hidden Star organization is somewhat similar to the Jinyiwei who directly obey the emperor's orders, but it has to be said that compared with the Jinyiwei, it is much inferior in terms of function and scale.

Hidden Star has the responsibility of secretly monitoring the city, and since it is directly subordinate to the city lord, it has great authority.

But this group of guys has actually been disbanded.

The previous city lord died early because there was a traitor within Hidden Star. No one knows who bribed Hidden Star to secretly kill the city lord.

But Hidden Star cannot escape its culpability. They disbanded on the spot and everyone was held accountable.

The current Hidden Star was reorganized recently because the city lord once mentioned in the meeting that the city lord needs a force that obeys his orders.

Even if the six-person council doesn't want to, it really can't stop it. After all, this article is clearly written in the laws of Muxing City.

I heard from Butler Wise that the newly formed Hidden Star has completely lost the intelligence network it has been operating for many years. The most important task in peacetime is to play with the city lord...

But after all, the status of the personal soldiers was obvious. When they came with an arrest warrant, it was clear that they were the city lord.

"The master should be fine, but during this period, Miss Cistia needs to come forward to stabilize people's hearts. Please, Mr. Perrenli, please stay a little longer."

Putting aside whether the city lord took action after hearing the slander, the other five members of the six-member council would not just watch like this. Even if some of them wanted to kill Nethar, they could not use such a simple and crude method.

Because it will have a strong impact on Mu Xing City, doing it so simply and crudely is equivalent to putting yourself on the fire rack, and you will only add insult to injury if your brain is sick.

What's more, with Nethar's precedent, there is no guarantee that others will be arrested because of the city lord's idea, so this group of people will even help.

Besides, Nethar's power should not be underestimated. If the city lord is really just hot-headed, he should be released within two days.

"Okay, I'm fine with that."

"It's very late today. Mr. Perrenli, please go and rest first. The eldest lady may need to meet many people tomorrow. I hope you can accompany her then."

Pei Renli nodded, got up and went to the guest room.

He really couldn't help with this matter. It would be easier if it was Brevo, and maybe he could solve it by talking to Victor. Pei Renli didn't have any influence at all in Muxing City.

But there is no need. After all, it is difficult for outsiders to get involved in this matter. This is an internal matter within Muxing City.

Pei Renli followed Sistia home, he really just came back with her.
