When asked what crime they had committed, Farim was a little confused because he couldn't answer. The queen had told him that these people might be spies from Limur, so she had arrested them. Farim didn't think much about it. The queen was usually right, so he just nodded casually. How could he know that the queen had put up the portrait of the Duke of Aquitaine?
What could Farim answer now? You said they were spies from Limur? That was too much. He was the Duke of the Nasser Empire. You said they were spies from Limur? How could you explain it after being exposed? It would be impossible to explain. What other crimes did you say? The same effect. What if you were exposed later? How could you say they weren't guilty? Of course not. Although this was an internal matter of the kingdom, you inexplicably put five people on the wanted list, and you couldn't say what crimes they had committed. This was basically tyranny. They were facing the envoy and the Duke of the Nasser Empire. This matter could be exposed to the Emperor of the Nasser Empire at any time.
Vasser states were different from duchies enfeoffed by the emperor. For duchies, if the duchies were tyrannical or committed serious crimes, they could have their territories taken back. But vasser states were different. These territories could not be taken back. Even so, the sovereign state could still interfere with the internal affairs of the vasser states. They could change the rulers of the vasser states. Although they would definitely be from the same family, of course, no one wanted to be replaced.
Of course, Farim didn't want to be replaced. He was only in his fifties, and he could still be king for at least a decade. How could he be satisfied? So he absolutely dared not provoke Li Huailin. But what should he do now? How could he answer Li Huailin?
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked curiously, "Don't you know what these people have done to make them wanted by you?"
"No, no, no … That …" Farim tried his best to hold on. "It's like this. Because these people have been wanted for a long time, I have temporarily forgotten what crimes they have committed … Your Excellency."
"Oh … so that's how it is. He's been wanted for a long time." Li Huailin nodded. "That makes sense …"
"Phew …" Farim breathed a sigh of relief. He actually managed to get away with it. He didn't expect to be able to get away with it. Farim couldn't believe it himself.
"But he's been wanted for so long, and we still haven't caught him." Li Huailin suddenly walked to the side of the portrait, then pointed at it and said, "Look at how much this guy looks like me. Isn't he courting death? Don't you think so? Then he dared to go around committing crimes. Although I don't know what he committed, isn't he destroying my reputation everywhere? Say, when people see this person committing crimes everywhere, they will think that it's me who did it. After all, I look like him, don't you think so? It's simply a heinous crime. "
"That's right, that's right," Moussa, who was next to him, said immediately, "This is simply ruining the Duke's reputation."
"Well, so this matter must be dealt with seriously." Li Huailin said, "You, Farim, right? This is the scum of your country who dares to look like me. I'll give you three days to catch these people and kill them. If you can't catch them, you'll have to bear the consequences."
"Huh?" Farim was stunned. "No … Duke, you caught these three people in three days?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Li Huailin asked, "Aren't these the people you want? Can't you catch them? If I can't catch you, why do you want them? "
"But … but these people … may not be in our country anymore. After all, they were wanted a long time ago," Farim said.
"How is that possible? If there were people who looked like me in our country, I would have killed them long ago. Did they appear in our country?" Li Huailin said.
"Of course not," Moussa said immediately.
"That's right. Besides, these people are wanted by you. Find them for me in three days." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "I'm already very polite. I'll give you three days. Now, I want to skin this guy alive who impersonated me and committed crimes everywhere."
"This … this …" Farim was dumbfounded. Handing them over in three days? Of course, he couldn't catch them because they were Li Huailin's and his friends. How could he catch them?
He didn't know how to answer. Suddenly, a guard came out of the castle with a stack of paper. It seemed that he was going to go to the civilian area below. Seeing so many people here, he came over to see what was going on.
"Wait." Li Huailin suddenly said, "The man with the paper."
"Me?" The guard was stunned for a moment, then saw that Li Huailin was pointing at him. Although he didn't know who Li Huailin was, he had heard the king's order to receive the emissary from the Nasser Empire. Now that he saw King Farim's situation, he guessed that it was probably this emissary, so the guard quickly came over.
"What are you holding?" Li Huailin asked.
"Oh, this is the wanted poster that His Royal Highness asked me to post in the city. It just finished printing, so I was about to post it, but this wanted poster … Huh?" As soon as the guard finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the portrait on the wanted poster in his hand looked so much like this emissary …
"Oh, let me see …" Li Huailin picked one up and looked at it. Sure enough, it was his own profile picture next to it. "Look, isn't he still wanted? It seems that His Highness Farim also knows that this person is in your kingdom. It's good that he's wanted … By the way, how long has this person been wanted?"
"How long?" The guard was a little stunned. "Didn't His Royal Highness just put this person on the wanted poster?"
"Huh?" Li Huailin looked directly at Farim, whose face had turned pale. "Just put this person on the wanted poster? What did this person do? "
"Oh, uh … I don't know," the guard said.
"You don't know?" Li Huailin looked at Farim again. "That's strange. Your country doesn't need to know why a person is wanted, right? His Royal Highness Farim, explain it to me. I don't understand. "
"I … I …" Farim really couldn't explain it clearly. How could he explain it clearly? Did he really put him on the wanted poster?
"His Royal Highness Farim, what do you mean?" Moussa suddenly stood up and said, "Could it be that you really put the Duke of our country on the wanted poster? You know what the consequences are, right?"
"No … no, I really don't dare," Farim immediately said. "This is what the Queen said. She asked me to put up the wanted posters of the people on the wanted posters."
"Oh, the Queen said so." Li Huailin nodded. "So that's how it is. It seems that the Queen of your country has a grudge against me. Why?"
"This … I don't know, His Royal Highness." Farim was really about to cry. "I really don't know what's going on."
"It's okay." Li Huailin suddenly patted Farim's shoulder. "Look at me. Do I look like a good person?"
"Of course, His Royal Highness is a good person, so please forgive me this time," Farim said immediately.
"That's right. I am a good person." Li Huailin nodded. "So, this time I will give you a chance."
"A chance?" Farim asked.
"Well, let me think about it." Li Huailin nodded. He thought for a while, then pointed to the wanted posters next to him and said, "How about this? You, come and eat these, and I will pretend that I didn't see these things. What do you think?"
"Eat … eat them?" Farim was stunned.
"Yes, eat them, and I will pretend that I didn't see them. Otherwise, I will take this to our emperor and ask him if I should take revenge for someone who dares to put up such a wanted poster for me," Li Huailin said.
Farim looked at the big stack of white papers next to him. If he ate them, he would definitely die. "No, His Royal Highness …"
"If you don't want to eat them, fine." Li Huailin then said to the people next to him, "Everyone, think about it. Anyway, if I brought my troops here, I would basically slaughter the entire city, right? Everyone here can be said to be killed. Now, everyone has seen how this King Farim offended me. If I don't slaughter everyone, I won't be able to live. Think about it from my perspective, am I right?"
The people around him were frightened, but what Li Huailin said did make some sense. It was obvious that Farim had provoked Li Huailin first. How could the Duke of Aquitaine not kill him?
"But, I am a good person. You see, I am also standing in your shoes. You did nothing, and then you lost your life because of this person who offended me. This is a bit unjust." Li Huailin said, "Then there is only one way to solve this matter, and that is for His Royal Highness to eat all of these wanted posters. That way, I will be able to live with myself and forget about this matter. Why don't you guys persuade your Royal Highness to eat all of these wanted posters?"
"This …" Everyone looked at Farim again. Of course, they did not want to die. They looked at Farim eagerly. Although they did not say anything, their meaning seemed to be saying, "Why don't you eat them?"
"You guys!" Farim was instantly enraged. These lowly people dared to oppose him. Did they not want to live anymore? However, Li Huailin was present, so he didn't dare to speak. He just looked at them angrily, warning them not to seek death.
Looking at the king's eyes, the guards and ministers immediately understood what Farim meant. They were also angry. This matter was caused by you, so of course you are responsible.
"What should we do?" Several ministers in the crowd also discussed the current situation.
"Looking at the situation, even if Farim survives this round, he will deal with us. There are dead ends everywhere. Might as well let His Royal Highness Farim …" A minister's eyes flashed fiercely, then he shouted to everyone, "Come, serve His Royal Highness Farim to eat the paper."
