Chapter 50 fifty

Put the transcript of the interrogation and related materials in front of Pei Zhaozhou, including a picture with a gray-brown owl badge.

Seeing this gray-brown owl badge, Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes suddenly paused, and he stared at this piece of paper.

Si Huaixi recounted the detailed process of his interrogation of these rats.

“This Peter, in the past, he was a greedy petty thief, reselling the supplies of the logistics department of the empire, the imperial supplies as small as a bottle of nutritional supplements have a special number, and no one usually goes to check, so he secretly re-sells, no Dare to make a big deal, earn thousands of Interstellar coins each time, plus some of the materials provided in God are not available from outside channels, and they are still very popular in the black market at low prices. After accumulating for a few years, he has earned more than 700,000 Interstellar coins. currency.”

“Originally he thought he could hide it, but the night before the departure, someone suddenly came to the door, saying that if he did not follow his orders, his corruption would be exposed. Imperial law stipulates that if the corruption exceeds 30,000, the minimum sentence is 5 In 2018, the price of this Peter’s reselling on the black market was lower than normal, and the normal price of corruption was more than one million, and he can already be sentenced to life.”

“The man turned out all the records of his black market transactions. Peter was too frightened to disobey, and the man promised to give him a large amount of interstellar coins after the matter was completed, ensuring that he would not be found out that he did it.”

“The rest of the people were too. Some of the reasons were caught, and the person who threatened them did a good job of keeping secrets. They didn’t see the face of that person at all, but there was a smarter named Coffey, and he agreed openly. , but he was afraid of getting into trouble, and he was afraid of being used as a scapegoat, quietly following the man who threatened him, that Coffey had been a scout, so he almost lost it all the way, and finally found that the man came to a villa after several turns. .”

“The villa was a nobleman’s private residence. When Coffey hid in the grass to observe, he found that the button on the sleeve of the butler who opened the door for the man was a taupe owl print. Usually nobles and their servants would wear clothing with the mark of the family crest. When Fei saw that it was a noble, she was afraid and ran away immediately.”

Si Huaixi looked at the contemplative Pei Zhaozhou, and said, “There are three families, the Harrington, Morris, and Claude families who use owls as their family crests. Brother Pei, do you remember which family you offended? member?”

A brown-haired figure suddenly flashed through Pei Zhaozhou’s thoughts, his brows turned and wrinkled, and there was a hint of deep suspicion in his eyes.

Si Huaixi: “Brother Pei, who do you think?”

Pei Zhaozhou hummed slowly, and spit out three words from thin lips: “Claude.”

Claude? Si Huaixi immediately mobilized information from the intranet, and all the relevant news about the Claude family was placed in front of him.

The current patriarch of the Claude family is Charles Claude, the noble rank is earl, and the family symbol is an owl. The current patriarch Charles Claude is the deputy minister of the empire’s finance department, and the eldest son Idi Claude is the second lieutenant of the Empire’s Third Army. , Tracy Claude’s second son is serving in the Imperial Foreign Office, and a daughter, Kama Claude, has just held a coming-of-age ceremony.

Now the outsiders of the Claude family are generally criticized. Its patriarch, Charles Claude, is a mediocre and flawless Alpha, and his children have nothing outstanding. It can only be said that the eldest son, Edie Claude, is still a little bit of Claude. The aristocratic style of the family in the past.

Originally, the predecessor of the Claude family was the soldiers who followed the founding emperor, and was known as the owl beside the king’s scepter, acting as the king’s secret eyes.

However, the descendants of the descendants are not up to the standard, and the title of the Claude family has been lowered again and again.

The title of the empire is not static. An inspection of the title of nobility is carried out every three generations. If the successor and the family behind it do not meet the minimum requirements for the contribution and merits of the empire and the king, they will be downgraded.

Noble titles are divided into five grades: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron. The Duke is the most noble and the Baron is the second.

The Claude family was downgraded from the original marquis to an earl. Although it was only lowered by one level, the Claude family has become a laughing stock in the aristocratic circle, and the Claude family wants to restore its former glory and return to the power center of the empire , he did not hesitate to defect to another great nobleman.

Pei Zhaozhou remembered a student he once admired, the eldest son of the Claude family, Idi Claude, who is currently the second lieutenant of the Empire’s Third Army, but unfortunately he was personally sent to the Imperial Military Court…

Unexpectedly, he was acquitted and eventually became a second lieutenant of the Empire’s Third Army. If the military files did not leave an investigation stain, Idi Claude might have risen faster.

Si Huaixi didn’t know about the dispute between Pei Zhaozhou and the Claude family. According to his superficial information, the Claude family had no problems, so why did he insist on framing Pei Zhaozhou, who had long since left the imperial army.

Si Huaixi asked with doubts in his eyes: “Brother Pei, what conflict does this Claude family have with you? You should not have too many disputes with nobles from a commoner background. I want to know everything about Brother Pei in the past. ”

“Before, if I had a big conflict with those noble children from the earliest days, Claude can only be one of them.”

Pei Zhaozhou sneered, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.

“What do you think I was like when I was young?”

Si Huaixi was asked in this way, Pei brother always looked mature and stern in his impression, and there was also a little desire in his heart to know how young brother Pei looked.

Before Si Huaixi could answer, Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes showed a little boredom from the past, and said, “I entered the Imperial Military Academy with the first grade in all aspects, and those noble students have been disliked by ordinary civilians like me. , school bullying was quite common at that time, and many civilian students were forced to drop out.”

“Mecha training class, this kind of actual combat class is the best place for the noble children to target civilian students. The mecha customized by their family is much better than the teaching mecha of the college. Under the same level of mecha operation, the noble children can use the The custom mecha crushed the civilian students… But I still beat them at that time, the little tricks of those noble children were boring, they wanted to slander me, and used the power of the nobles to force me to drop out of school, which is no different from the current nobles.”

Pei Zhaozhou sneered, feeling a little boring again.

Si Huaixi sank his eyes: “Did Brother Pei drop out of school later?”

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes overflowed with sharpness: “No, I used the opportunity of the actual combat class to reasonably put those noble children into the hospital, entered the imperial army ahead of schedule with excellent grades, and then conducted mecha exercises with the elders of those noble children by the way. .”

Learn from each other?

It is estimated that it was a beating. It is no wonder that Brother Pei has always despised those nobles.

He has already sketched the image of a young and arrogant mecha pilot in his mind. Even if he gets into the quagmire of power and slander, he will come out with his own ability.

Si Huaixi’s eyes were slightly bright, and the sea-blue pupils were shining with light, and he said with a smile: “This is really unexpected, but I really want to see Brother Pei when he was a student, it must be very dazzling.”

Pei Zhaozhou’s brows eased, and his eyes slowly faded with a little smile.

“Because of unpleasant memories in school, the school invited me to teach mecha courses at the Imperial Military Academy. I wasn’t interested in this. In the end, I took a few classes and fell in love with a student…”

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes became obscure: “Idi Claude, the eldest son of the Claude family, I thought he was a commoner at first. Only commoners have always been bullied by the nobles. I taught him some skills in driving mechas. He studied well, and after graduation, he joined the regiment I commanded, but unfortunately I sent him to the military court in the end.”

Si Huaixi frowned slightly and asked, “What did he do?”

Pei Zhaozhou’s eyes were deep: “Serious dereliction of duty, Prince Edward went to the Yere planet to give a diplomatic speech, because the planet was low and remote, and the guards of the original planet were insufficiently defended, and part of the imperial army was mobilized, and I sent Edie Claude. and the rest of the soldiers.”

“Originally, I didn’t participate in the security work of the royal family, but Prince Edward heard about my achievements in the army and called me temporarily, and I couldn’t disobey the order of the royal family and had to go to the planet of Yell, but unexpectedly saw… ”

“A group of unidentified people entered the residence of Prince Edward, and the soldiers and guards who were originally guarding the west gate were killed and injured, but Edie Claude was safe and sound. When he saw me, his eyes were full of horror.”

“In the end, I solved the crisis, and Edie Crowder was seriously injured and sent to the hospital by the gangster because he took the initiative to go to the rescue. I took the seriously injured him to a military court, but he was finally acquitted.”

Pei Zhaozhou sneered: “It seems that he has been worried, for fear that I will discover the true purpose of the Claude family.”

Si Huaixi frowned, and there was a vague guess in his heart.

In the plot, when the protagonist meets the second prince, the eldest prince Edward has died unexpectedly. Is that really an accident?
