How to wear a goddess statue

Chapter 080 Sufficient Evidence

Several soldiers hurriedly scolded the victims and urged them to retreat so as not to disturb the crown prince.

Romul looked at the victims who were staring at the food, and then looked at him with fear, his masseter muscles twitched, and asked repeatedly: "Is this the only thing used to help the victims?" ?"

A small-eyed man in fine clothes stood beside Romul. His appearance was very distinctive, like a mouse. He was one of the nobles who followed the city lord yesterday.

The nobleman answered the Dauphin's question.

"It's really not our wish that the people don't have enough to eat. Your Highness, the city lord said yesterday that there will be a shortage of food after the disaster. You should save some food."

"I also said that I would bring in supplies again. Before that, at least make sure that the victims can survive—"

"But the next batch of food hasn't arrived yet, and the officials in charge of relief don't dare to squander it. Please understand, Your Highness."

"I know how much relief food my father allocated, and now I just want to ask you, how bad is the food shortage?"

"After all, it is to supply a city of people..."

Romul also grew up receiving royal education, especially after his father became a queen, he was personally taught by the high priest of the sky god. He is not stupid.

When passing by the food distribution point the day before, Romul didn't look carefully and didn't notice anything wrong.

But during the inspection today, those obvious unreasonable things were exposed before our eyes.

Seeing that the crown prince was suspicious at first, and then thought of something, his expression sank, and the two staff members behind him looked at each other.

One of them stepped forward and lowered his tone: "His Royal Highness, please calm down for now, let's talk over here."

Several people walked out for a distance.

After they moved away a little, the soldiers let go of the restrictions, and the victims rushed forward to grab food.Only some experienced old people glanced at the backs of the crown prince and the others, with a slightly sad expression, but they still had to be worried and joined the ranks of the scramble.

Rhodes was a few steps behind, just in time to hear their conversation clearly.

The mouse-faced aristocrat showed a flattering smile, and told Romul all kinds of reasons.

After listening to the latter, he lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "I just want to ask, have you ever used relief food?"

"This..." The nobleman's eyes slipped to the faces of the crown prince's staff.

The staff understood.

"Your Highness, when you encounter this kind of situation, you will more or less accept something. Isn't this a custom?" The staff saw the opportunity and whispered to the crown prince, "In my opinion, Di Simon's situation is not bad. Well, at least enough food was left for the people to sustain their lives, and they were not starved to death."

"But--"

Romul has never been hungry since he was a child. How does he know the difference between the amount of food that may not be full and the amount that will starve to death?

Another staff member stabbed his companion's arm indiscriminately, persuading him from another angle.

"His Royal Highness, listen to me first. Taking advantage of natural disasters to make money is of course a mistake that cannot be ignored. Your visit this time can just stop this behavior and make them spit out what they eat."

"Is that all it takes?"

"what do you mean?"

Romul said: "According to the law, those who take money and goods must recover the amount they have embezzled, and the same amount of assets should be punished. Those who are more serious should be dismissed from office, and the most serious ones should be executed, so as to serve as an example to others."

"That's right!" The staff clapped their hands, "You are as upright as His Majesty, you must have received the radiance of the fair balance of the goddess of justice."

Romul paused, and said embarrassedly: "Don't say that, I'm still far from my father's level."

Speaking of Horst, his eyes are full of longing and envy.

The two staff members looked at each other, and the words of praise followed one after the other as if they didn't need to think about it, and the nobles also joined the team of admiration.

Rhodes: "..."

Seriously, listening to these is really polluting the ears.

The crown prince couldn't stand it anymore, and pretended to be serious coughing: "Stop talking, this matter must be investigated carefully, if it is found out that the greed for food is true—" He thought of the city lord's kind face, hesitated, and didn't say anything. The second half of the sentence.

Staff: "Your Highness is wise and decisive!"

He rolled his eyes, seemingly unintentionally: "Speaking of which, the Lord Finlieni seems to be the younger brother of Lord Fendolied. Have you heard about it, Your Highness?"

Findored, Treasurer of Solanchia.

Also one of Romul's teachers.

The Crown Prince: "What do you want to say?"

"Just a casual mention, Your Highness."

Romul was silent for a moment: "Whether he is a family member of Mr. Findored or not, I will not violate the spirit of the law."

After speaking, he turned around and took the lead in walking in the other direction.

That is the direction where the Santo's tent is located.

The nobles and staff were eyeing behind the crown prince's back, and seeing their eye contact, they knew that this matter was not over yet.

Rhodes listened for a while, his eyes inevitably became complicated.

In Di Simon, which is close to the royal city, it is so fearless to commit such a level of corruption against disaster relief property.

It is hard to believe that there was no acquiescence from Acht and no communication from higher-level officials.

But at present, although Romul's attitude is more than hesitant and not decisive, the general direction is still firm.

What had Horst sent his son to do, to administer justice?If this is the case, he can avoid this trouble as long as he controls the source, so why bother.

Rhodes followed lightly, and the destination was also the tent where the city lord temporarily lived.

——Strictly speaking, this kind of behavior of listening to the conspiracy in the state of the spirit body can also be regarded as using divine power to interfere with the trajectory of human beings in the human world, and there is a possibility of touching the "line".

It's just that Rhodes doesn't care.

Those people have done everything, are they still afraid that God will listen?

Just pretend that the Queen has a master who comes and goes without a trace, and can always eavesdrop on credible information.

In the traditional folk tales of Solan, there are not thieves who are incapable of skills, who specialize in robbing the rich and giving to the poor, spreading the secrets of the rich and powerful businessmen everywhere. Most of these long poem stories are bards.

And what she did was probably to make her dreams come true.

Rhodes thought with peace of mind.

Meanwhile, Eleuil had left DiSimon's granary.

The granary is a domed building. Like other places in the north of Solan, it has a solid structure and is equipped with moisture-proof and frost-proof facilities. Guards with weapons stand at the door, and soldiers patrol around the building to guard against possible surprise attacks, or riot.

Aleuil just glanced at it from afar, but didn't approach it.

With her ability, it is true that she can kill the guards and sneak into the warehouse to see the situation inside with her own eyes, but this will definitely leave traces and scare the snake away.

Then, the princess passed by the rescue site.

It is said to be rescue, but in fact it is more like clearing the ruins and finding the dead. It has been several days since the earthquake, and few people who were unfortunately buried can persist until now.

This is the only way to return to the camp. On the edge of the camp, the scribes responsible for counting various numbers sat around one place, holding scrolls in their hands.

Every time the labor to clean up the ruins lifts a dead body from the ruins, it must be reported here once before it can be sent to the morgue to wait for someone to claim it.

The scribe then raised his hand and lightly touched a little on the paper.

Soldiers dragged out the corpses of poor people who died of cold and starvation from the camp, and they had to leave a number here before throwing away the corpses.

The scribes treat everyone equally, which is also a dot of ink.

The milky white pen and ink dots on the dark brown paper, every dot is a life.

Counting is necessary, but it is very problematic when the victims of natural disasters and those who died of cold and starvation in the camps are recorded on the same sheet without special distinction.

"There were too many dead in the earthquake?"

Aleuil murmured to himself.

If this counting method is used, of course it will be more than the real number.

But if you don't remember that, there are too many victims who died in the camp, and the Lord Di Simon and the officials in charge of distributing supplies cannot escape the blame.

Since we can notice the cover-up in this aspect, the undisguised deduction at the food distribution point will not be an omission.

That is the ironclad proof of madness.

The princess stopped and walked, stepped on a few places, and gradually built a logical diagram in her mind to connect the whole thing together.

It always felt like there was still a piece of the puzzle missing.

When she was thinking this, Rhodes was passing by from behind.

As soon as the frost blue eyes of the spirit body turned, he saw Aleuil's back.

Rhodes paused, her fingertips unconsciously traversing the long hair, out of some unknown state of mind, she floated closer and whispered softly in the princess' ear: "I'm here."

The soft whisper, with the unique clear and ethereal tone, if someone else hears it, I'm afraid I've bumped into a ghost in broad daylight.

But the princess didn't even blink her eyes.

Aleuil raised his eyebrows calmly, his eyes didn't move, his lips parted slightly, and he opened his mouth, "You're right here? So it wasn't a voice transmitted through the air."

Voice over the air?

Since the last reminder from Rhodes in the arena, Eleuil did not ask about the voice that suddenly rang in her ears that day, just as she did not ask why those who attacked the gods died strangely.

It turned out that Aileu understood it this way.

Rhodes wanted to explain, but at this moment, the past three years of her floating beside the princess as a spirit flashed before her eyes.

Hmm...that's a bit tricky to explain.

After thinking about it, it is better to let the princess think that this is the secret art of the gods and the sound transmission through the air, compared to the existence of invisible spirits in life.

So, Rhodes pretended not to hear Eleuil's response, and continued in a calm tone: "I'll wait for you in the tent."

No matter what the princess said, Luo Dasi resolutely refused to speak.

Eleuil softly called Rhodes's name a few times, didn't try any more, and continued walking forward with a thoughtful expression.

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to speed up and float back to the tent, sitting in front of Aleuil, the princess suddenly stopped, and quickly raised her arms to the right.

Rhodes spoke into his right ear just now.

The River Goddess watched helplessly as the slender and flexible honey-colored arm was raised, seemingly inadvertently passing through her translucent spirit body.

Without the feeling of touching the real thing, Eleuil turned around calmly, and his arms also turned around.

still none.

Eleuil lowered his hand.

"Tsk."

Rhodes: "..."

The author has something to say:

False gods on earth: voice transmission through the air, teleportation/divine descent.

The real gods in the world: the spirit behind the back floats with you (no)
