Chapter 69: Rencis (1)
Speaking of this, the captain couldn't help but sigh: "Among a large number of prisoners, the city lord promoted five people, and these five people are the strongest fighting power among them. I think he can get a lot of good things this time."
Tang Jiumin, who was mistakenly thought to have come to receive the reward by the captain of the soldiers, did not wander around after entering the city lord's mansion.
Go straight to the destination.
The place where the city lord works.
study.
After the celebration banquet, Tang Jiumin wandered around the city lord's mansion. He left all the places he should go, and there were some places he could not get close to, which he had confirmed.
Like the city lord's study room, although there were soldiers guarding it, because of his knighthood, he was unobstructed until he approached the study room.
Tang Jiumin confirmed this place yesterday. Today, I will save time to search.
Tang Jiumin hid on the corner of the wall.
He saw that there were only two soldiers guarding outside the study, and a soldier suddenly ran over and said nothing to the two of them, so they hurriedly left.
Tang Jiumin hid in the dark and saw this scene, thinking, could something big happened in the city lord's mansion?
However, as soon as the two soldiers left, they gave Tang Jiumin a chance, and he quickly sneaked into the study.
Walk to the desk.
The candles on it have been used up, and only some residue is left.
It seems that the city lord should have been in the study for a while last night, but he is not here now.
Tang Jiumin first started looking for clues from his desk.
Unlike the desk in the study of the leader of the Resistance Organization, there are piles of thick information on the desk of the city lord, all of which are recent news about the orcs' plan to attack Alto City and the undercover sent by the Empire to the orcs to the orcs.
Sure enough, the orcs were instigating the people on the Empire, and the Empire was not idle either, so they sent an undercover agent to inquire about the enemy's situation.
The desk was full of news about these, and Tang Jiumin still couldn't see any abnormalities.
Just looking at these documents, if Tang Jiumin had not been to the residence of the leader of the Resistance Organization, it would be possible that the city lord was doing his best to defend against orc attacks and protect the city.
But he learned that there was some secret in Alto City.
From these documents, the city lord has been emphasizing one thing, that is, to prevent the rebel organizations from gathering to cause trouble.
Even on the day the leader of the resistance organization was executed, the city lord ordered to secretly keep a close eye on the fixed stronghold of the organization, and after repelling the orcs, it would be convenient for them to catch them all in one go.
When Tang Jiumin saw this, he realized that the guards attacked the rebels last night and had planned to organize the organization.
"But what exactly does it have to do with Rencis? Why did he let him go?"
After reading a bunch of information, Tang Jiumin searched for another bunch of information next to him.
No.
None.
There is no content about Rencis in all the information on the desk.
Tsk...
Impossible, right? Could it be that his judgment is wrong?
Tang Jiumin looked up at the surroundings and found that there were many large cabinets in the study, and there should be a lot of information on it.
However, Tang Jiumin also found that it was all completely sealed information, and he couldn't open it and then put it back intact.
Watch it, or not?
Finally, Tang Jiumin lowered his head and squatted down halfway. He unwilling to start a carpet-style search of the city lord's desk.
In fact, Tang Jiumin searched his desk inside and out, mainly because he had searched for the secret residence of the leader of the resistance organization before, and this incident gave him an inspiration.
If there are any secret drawers or other places to store books around the desk, isn’t it very likely that you will find what you want?
With this thought, Tang Jiumin patiently conducted a carpet-style search on the long desk.
Click.
About ten minutes later, a sound suddenly came from the study.
Tang Jiumin's attention instantly fell under his calf, and he seemed to have kicked a movable wooden block just now.
Crack Crack Crack.
When Tang Jiumin stood still, he tried to kick a few more times, and he found the moving drawer.
There are a lot of unfinished letters in the drawer.
Tang Jiumin opened it and showed a subtle expression.
He found it.
These are letters written by the father to the child. None of them were finished, they were scribbling and repeatedly crossed out and rewritten.
From these letters, Tang Jiumin learned.
Rencis and the city lord turned out to be a father-son relationship.
The city lord once sent someone to investigate a woman, a woman who had sex with him, and the other party gave birth to a baby boy during the time when the city lord sent someone to investigate.
In the following situation, the city lord deliberately inquired about the boy in advance, and even secretly used some means to confirm that the baby boy was his son.
The only son.
Unfortunately, Rencis is an illegitimate child, his mother is just a civilian, and he is an existence that the city lord cannot disclose to the public.
Moreover, because my mother was just a drunk and messy person, she had already been driven out of the castle by herself, and life was more difficult than that of ordinary civilians.
Before Rencis grew up, his mother died of illness, leaving Rencis to survive in the slum.
Tang Jiumin:...
I really didn't expect that the city lord's mansion would wander around and actually run into the city lord's illegitimate son. I don't know that the world is too small, but it's just such a coincidence.
"Maybe, can you go to the person involved to find out the whim?" Tang Jiumin showed a thoughtful expression.
He decided to go to the city lord later.
But before going to find the city lord, Tang Jiumin planned to find another person first.
As the illegitimate son of the city lord, this guy still thinks he is an orphan and comes from a slum, but he doesn't know that the city lord who occasionally became "kind" at that time was his biological father.
The city lord mentioned in a letter that he could not disclose Rencis' true identity, because it would bring him a great stain and make him a laughing stock among the nobles.
For this reason, although the city lord intends to take care of Rencis, he also wrote that he would never disclose the identity of Rencis' illegitimate son in his life.
However, the letters written by these were also abandoned. The city lord wrote at least a dozen letters, and he gave up every time he wrote them halfway through.
It seems that this city lord is still shaken about whether he is a father or a nobleman.
In a recent letter, the city lord mentioned that he knew about Rencis in the Rebels organization, and he had a little begging in his tone, hoping that he would leave the organization.
This is a letter that has been almost finished. As for why it has not been finished, it should be related to the dirty blood at the bottom of the letter.
Tang Jiumin saw the black dirty blood before.
At that time, Tang Jiumin thought the city lord was caused by injury. Now it seems that it may not be the only one.
A person who values the status of aristocrats so much actually begs for his children.
Maybe, life is not long.
Tang Jiumin approached the door of the study and found that there were still no soldiers outside. The two soldiers who had just been called away had not come back for a long time.
Tang Jiumin left quickly.
