Chapter 195
Tang Feng and two of his subordinates were busy beside the body of the head of the family, checking very carefully.Whether it is clothes, pants, shoes and socks, or hair, mouth, toenails, every minute and every inch, every suspicious place, he will never let go.

Just now, due to his negligence, the assassin approached Her Royal Highness and carried out the assassination.Thanks to the presence of Caton Juggernaut and the boss, the assassin did not succeed.When he was gearing up to take down the assassin and torture the mastermind behind the scenes, the other party committed suicide without hesitation, which made him lose the opportunity to make up for his mistakes.

Now, if there are flaws in the inspection of the corpse and the search for clues, he will feel ashamed to face others, not to mention what others think of him.

When Tang Feng finally stood up and walked towards Princess Yalena and the others, a long time had passed.

The round-faced aristocrat of the Charlton family really lived like a year during the long wait just now.Now that the result finally came, I couldn't wait to ask the first question.

"General Tang Feng, how are you doing?"

Tang Feng's position in the Aberdeen counter-insurgency army was Chief Qian, and he could be regarded as a general.But the anti-rebellion army had already returned to Aberdeen province, and Tang Feng also left with the princess mission.Now leading a mere 300 soldiers, it is a bit far from the title of general.

But the round-faced nobleman didn't care about this, as long as he could get the result he wanted out of Tang Feng's mouth and help the Charlton family get rid of this inexplicable scapegoat, even if he called him Lao Tzu, he would be willing.

It's a pity that his plan to recognize his relative did not succeed, obviously the other party was not willing to recognize such a cheap son who was older than himself.

Tang Feng himself was very angry, how could he care about that round-faced nobleman.He took a step forward and handed over the report.

"His Royal Highness, the results of the inspection have been obtained..."

After Tang Feng's careful inspection, there were finally three discoveries.

The first is the cause of death.The head of the family committed suicide by taking poison, and the poison was hidden in one of his dentures.

The second is the weapon of assassination.Tang Feng was not a reckless person. Before he brought Dadangjia here, he had checked the other party inside and out, and found nothing suspicious at all.Unexpectedly, the master actually hid the assassination tool in the muscle of his arm.

He was tall and burly, with extremely thick arms.As long as you can bear the pain, you can cut a muscle and hide it with a dagger.The head of the family was bloody, with many old and new scars, but the traces of hands and feet on the skin were covered up.

The hidden weapon is a round tubular thing, the design is very ingenious.It doesn't need to be taken out, it can be launched directly from the human body.It's really hard to guard against.

In the end, it was also the issue of origin that the round-faced noble was most concerned about.The head of the family has committed suicide, of course it is impossible to get anything useful from him.But on his back, right where his heart is, there are a few words engraved impressively:
Charlton!
"Impossible, this is impossible! This is obviously framing!"

The round-faced nobleman shouted loudly, his voice was a little out of tune in a hurry.

"These words were engraved by him himself. Of course, he can engrave whatever he wants, which doesn't explain anything."

Tang Feng said coldly: "Those tattoos are not newly engraved, they look like they have been tattooed for some time, and it is likely that they were tattooed when he was still young."

The round-faced nobleman was immediately speechless after hearing this.

Tang Feng's meaning was obvious. If the chief envoy really wanted to frame the Charlton family, he might have anticipated today's bandit suppression operation ten or even decades ago, and started to make plans.But is this possible?

The round-faced nobleman was still arguing, but there was a little commotion among the captured thieves over there.

Tang Feng walked over with a gloomy face, and turned back not long after.

"His Royal Highness, 13 captured bandits committed suicide by taking poison. The method used was the same as that of the assassin's leader, and they all had the same tattoo on their backs."

All of a sudden, even the round-faced nobleman was stunned and speechless.

Obviously, this is a trap, a premeditated big trap.With the help of a special bandit suppression operation, the entire Charlton family was encircled.

The third young master took a step forward, cupped his hands with a serious face and said, "Mr. Anthony, if this bandit is really a member of my Charlton family, it is absolutely impossible for him to announce his identity so publicly, because this is tantamount to putting my family in danger." Please also ask Her Royal Highness and Mr. Anthony to check it out."

These three young masters are the sons of the patriarch of the Charlton family. Because of their personalities, they did not take over the specific affairs of the family.Idle around all day, hang out with ordinary noble children, but he is a bit famous in his circle.

This time the bandits were suppressed, each family knew the significance behind it, and they sent important figures from the family to the scene.It was the round-faced nobleman who led the Charlton family.

The reason why he brought the third young master was because most of the high-level members of the mission were young people, and his previous contact with Anthony was quite harmonious and pleasant.In addition, it can be regarded as an experience for him.After all, the third young master has the blood of the family flowing through his body, and he is also smart and clever. If he can concentrate on business, it will also benefit the Charlton family.

Now it seems that this unintentional move has really received results.When the round-faced nobleman became impatient and speechless, he decisively pointed out a major doubt in the conspiracy.

Anthony pondered for a moment and agreed with his point of view.

"What San Shao said is also reasonable. Assassination is not a great thing to glorify the lintel, so there is no need to announce it so loudly, for fear that others will not know."

The round-faced aristocrat beamed with joy when he heard the words. For the first time, he felt that this nephew who was not doing business was so cute.

He is well aware of Anthony's weight in the princess mission, and Princess Yalena is even more obedient to him.As long as he believes that this matter has nothing to do with the Charlton family, then they will surely be able to get through this innocent disaster safely.

Unexpectedly, before he could thank him, Anthony changed his voice again.

"But what about the tattoos on these people?"

The round-faced nobleman was once again speechless as if he had been drenched in a bucket of cold water.

How to explain this?

How the hell do I know how to explain it!If I control the world, can I control others to scribble on me? !
The third young master also smiled helplessly, we didn't do this, how can we explain it?
But no matter how difficult it is to explain it, we must find a way to explain it. Who made the Charlton family point the finger now?
"Perhaps, some special technique was used to get it up..."

This should be the most reliable guess, but it is easy to offend people if it is said.

Didn't you see that Tang Feng, who was in charge of examining the corpse, had an ugly expression on his face?
"Let's withdraw the troops and go back to the city first! There are many doubts about this matter, and there are many things that are difficult to explain. It is difficult to sort it out for a while. We will discuss it in detail after we go back."

Anthony pondered for a moment, but he seemed to be at a loss, so he put the matter aside for the time being and ordered the troops to withdraw.

"Take all these thieves back and detain them in our camp first. There may be other assassins' companions among them. We must strictly investigate and torture them one by one. When everything is clear, these people will be handed over to the university. Duke's Mansion. Do all the adults have any objections to this disposition?"

Anthony asked the nobles for advice with a gentle face, but all the nobles shook their heads and waved their hands quickly as if they were being burned by burning coals, saying "no objection" in unison.

Just kidding, who dares to have an opinion at this time?

If there was no such thing as assassination, they would definitely suggest that these gangsters be handed over to the Grand Duke Smolwa.

This proposal makes sense.

In any case, this is the province of Hanover, no matter how powerful the missionary army is, it is still a guest after all.It's like helping the owner clean up the house. Whether the things cleaned up are useful or not, only the owner can decide how to deal with them.There is absolutely no reason for guests to put things in their bags by themselves.

As for now?If anyone dares to take the lead at this time, as long as there is any minor incident in the assassination incident in the future, it will be difficult for him to get out of the relationship.

Take a look at the current situation of the Charlton family. They are dumb and eat coptis, and they have nowhere to complain.How shrewd are the aristocrats, how could they rush in so foolishly, to be that difficult brother and sister with the Charlton family.

Now that everyone had no objection, Tang Feng immediately assigned people to prepare for the relevant matters.

The mission troops don't need to prepare anything, they can leave as soon as they say.However, there were more than a thousand bandits captured, several times more than the soldiers of the mission.If it is not handled properly, there will be big problems.

The Charlton family also breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.Although the suspicion of assassinating Princess Yalena could not be cleared away, the matter was finally not determined on the spot.When we get back to the city, we can talk slowly.Don't say that the Charlton family did not do the thing in the first place. Even if it was really done by them, under the current situation, there may not be no room for loopback.

Didn't you hear that boy Anthony say that you want to go back and "discuss in detail?"

Of course, bleeding and cutting some flesh are indispensable.

This is politics.

After being busy for a while, the soldiers escorted the prisoners tied up in a long line, and walked back slowly.

The noble gentlemen followed the mission with their entourage just like when they came.

The only difference is that everyone's faces are not very good-looking at this time.

When they came, the nobles were full of confidence, feeling that the result was already doomed, and they came here to watch a good show.

Who would have thought that the "thugs" who seemed to have a huge advantage would be so vulnerable in front of their opponents.Not to mention the big defeat and heavy losses, it is even impossible to pull a back.

At the same time, they couldn't help cursing the guy who ordered the assassination in their hearts.

It doesn't matter if you want to assassinate the princess, and it doesn't matter if you blame the Charlton family, but can you not choose this time point.Now not only has the action failed, but it has also implicated us.It seems impossible to return those family private soldiers who were captured in a short time.

You know, for this "joint dispatch of troops", each family has invested heavily.At that time, they were afraid that the army would not be strong enough and the odds of victory would not be safe enough, so they tried to stuff as many people as possible into the "bandit den".

Now the part of the nobles who are the most actively stuffed by the Cypriots is so regretful that their intestines are green.

Losing so many warriors and even professionals at once, not to mention protecting the safety of the family's businesses, caravans, and mines, even the power to guard the home of the base camp is not enough.

Moreover, there is a huge gap in the armed forces of each family. Everyone is short of people. If they want to recruit people, they may not be able to recruit them all at once.

The aristocrats all had bitter faces, cursing in their hearts, and at the same time began to think about the battle for talent after returning.
