"This? Yes, my lord!" The two strong men standing behind the girl and staring at the group of girls acted as a shock. Seeing the Marquis leaving aggressively, and what he said, although a little puzzled, they still obeyed. He planned to lock the girl and the remaining few girls back into the back-up room.

But in an instant, yellow flames suddenly appeared on the ground, and the entire underground space was filled with thick smoke. Several girls and the guards around the exchange coughed. The expression of the Marquis changed, and he quickly pulled a guard around In front of and behind him, he was afraid that someone would assassinate him at this time.

"Take me out!" The Marquis, who was indifferent before, also had some eagerness in his voice at the moment, "Ahem...the smoke is too heavy, I can't see the way at all, my lord..." The two guards kept talking Coughing ceaselessly, tears dripping from eyes smoky, completely destroying the sense of shock brought by his fierce appearance.

"Close your eyes, and cover your mouth and nose with your sleeves." The girls couldn't react to the sudden change, but they coughed the same way, but they heard a very calm voice beside them, and hurriedly followed suit.Close your eyes, although it's pitch black, but you won't be directly smoked by the smoke until your eyes cry and you can't see the road.

It wasn't a narrow space, but it was very enclosed. As the flames grew bigger and the smoke thicker, a group of people ran around indiscriminately.The girl took a girl by the hand and ran into the door, which was the auction site.

The group of nobles were still sitting in their seats, discussing a lot. They didn't seem to understand why the Marquis left suddenly. The auction was interrupted. On the high platform beside them, there were no figures of the girls before, but there were more than a dozen large wooden boxes. With a quick glance, I knew that those girls were locked inside. They must be afraid of being seen by others. Using this method to collect them directly is also convenient for them to take them back.

Thick yellow smoke filled the air the moment the girl pushed open the door, but fortunately the venue was quite empty and big, after she closed the door immediately, the smoke finally did not envelop.

A group of nobles in the audience looked at Chris who suddenly barged in and the girls behind him, showing some doubts. At the same time, they felt a little bad about the smoke that had just rushed over. They all got up and said, "Fire? Run away!" !" The group of nobles were more afraid of death than the other, and they immediately planned to escape from the other side of the secret passage.

The girl glanced at them. Those nobles looked full of fat and greasy. She didn't bother to deal with them all at once. There are still innocent girls here, otherwise she would directly explode.

The locked door was knocked loudly, probably because the people on the other side of the door, after the girl rushed over and the sound of closing the door, finally remembered that there was still a way to leave, and they all slammed on the door, but the lock was very hard. I don't know if those people thought that they would be locked here when they designed such a strong door to prevent cargo from escaping.

The Marquis forced his eyes open with red eyes, and pulled two guards to go up, but the yellow flame climbed up the curved spiral staircase along the ground, lit the rows of torches on the wall, and the flame became even bigger in an instant .

And the flames on the ground stopped at a certain corner along with the black powder/powder spreading from the corner of the stairs. There are several glass test tubes here, some of which are filled with white powder and some are filled with yellow liquid. Under high temperature, the glass test tubes burst Open, the powder splashed, and there was an overly violent explosion in the corridor in an instant. After the yellow liquid contacted the air, it instantly ignited the flames.

The Marquis's clothes and hair, which had been burned for a long time, were horrible. Seeing that the exit was blocked, he ran back again. The door leading to the auction house was finally knocked open. There was no one left in the auction house. The nobleman ran away long ago, and even the few goods that came in disappeared. The boxes on the table that had just been packed after the deal was concluded were all wide open, showing the emptiness inside.

This time all the goods are gone!Although the Marquis was a little annoyed, he still focused on saving his life at the moment. Although he looked like an old man, he ran fast.

"Wait until I go out and find out who is targeting me this time, I will definitely not let him go!" The Marquis roared furiously in his heart, while running out along the secret passage, but the originally dark and secret exit was covered with lanterns. Shining brightly.

A group of men in the uniform of Scotland Yard guards held lanterns and pointed guns at those who escaped from this hidden exit.

The other group of people is dressed in gorgeous and noble clothes, nobles with almost the same status, standing in front of this group of nobles is.

The Marquess of Baskerville, who was in a disfigured state and had burns on his body, saw this man, and immediately furiously said, "Is it you! Selton! It was you who designed all this! How despicable! If you have the ability to talk to me in an open and honest manner duel!"

"Hmph! Despicable? Is this about you, and your comrades? I never expected that a scum like you would appear among our nobles. You actually traded people and kidnapped so many civilians. The evidence is conclusive. The Queen will not be on your side either! Just wait until you are deprived of your membership and go to the dungeon!" The Marquis of Sternton shouted with righteous indignation on his face.

Hiding behind the Scotland Yard guards were the scantily clad and perverted auction items. Although the commoner girls were shivering, they told the guards when they first came out.

It was the Marquis Baskerville who kidnapped them and sold them to other nobles. Fortunately, there is another Marquis here, so don't be afraid of him.

Normally, the guards of Scotland Yard would not have dared to dispatch so many to arrest the nobles, but this time it was the Marquis of Selton who called them up, saying that they encountered a very vicious kidnapping of civilians that lasted for three years. Cases, numerous casualties.

This brings up their motivation. You must know that they are always spurned and useless by the nobles. If they can solve this super big case, they will definitely wash away their previous bad reputation. In addition, the Marquis called them this time. There is a duke, otherwise they will be absolutely fine, after all, if the sky falls, there will be a tall one to support them.

"Sorry, Marquis of Baskerville, I can only ask you to come with us first."

"I am the Marquis! You deserve to arrest me too! I want to see the queen, this is slander, I didn't do anything, I just came to the opera, yes, this is the opera house, I just came to the opera, those girls He must have wanted to be my wife but I refused to hold grudges and come to revenge on me." The Marquis of Baskerville retorted loudly, he is a bit old widower, but the status of Marquis is very attractive, and of course he also wanted it in the past. The commoners who lived a good life seduced him, so he came up with this excuse.

However, the Marquis of Sternton showed a confident smile, and took out a document from his body, "This is a transaction bill written by you yourself. The notes can be identified by the judge. Wait for the ruling of the House of Lords, and your group Companions." The Marquess of Sternton never forgot to dispose of Baskerville's accomplices together.

"You!" The Marquis of Baskerville's eyes widened in an instant, bloodshot, and with a bit of gnashing of hatred, he rushed away from the guard who was about to handcuff him, and hit Sldon in one fell swoop, unprepared Selton was knocked to the ground in an instant, and the people from the same camp around him screamed in shock and helped him up immediately. The Marquess of Baskerville was also handcuffed and controlled by the guards in an instant. Stop the action.

Just after being punched, he was confidently standing in the direction of the winner, looking at Baskerville from above. How could he bear this grievance? When he saw that Baskerville was under control, he immediately greeted him. Going over, with a fist punch, the two roared angrily, not like nobles at all, but like fighting beasts.

However, the guards couldn't just watch the Marquis fighting among himself. If one of them was really going to be killed, Scotland Yard would probably have to be disbanded. Scoville was taken back to the dungeon at Scotland Yard and locked up.

Hearing such treatment, Sternton let out a heavy breath, snorted, and nodded, looking at Baskerville who was hit by him a few times and who was not good enough, he had avenged just now. .

"Wait, I will submit all your crimes to the judge later." Sternton looked at Baskerville's back and gave a pooh, then turned around and went to the judge of the House of Lords energetically.

Civilian crimes go to the civilian courts, and noble crimes are generally dealt with in the House of Lords, because the House of Lords is the highest judicial organ in the United Kingdom, and the speaker is also the chief justice.Only the judge can deal with the status of the Marquis. Before the verdict comes out, even the Marquis has to stay in the dungeon honestly, as well as those accomplices.

As for being both Marquises, how could Selton and Baskerville have such a big enmity? In fact, it was nothing more than partisan disputes.Baskerville is the Liberal Party in Parliament, basically less than a leader than a leader, because the leader is his nephew Henry Baskerville.

And Selton is the Conservative Party, the opposite of the Liberal Party. The two parties have long been in a rotation system where one party governs Parliament for several years and the other party governs Parliament for several years. Of course, some people prefer to govern alone for a long time. , there will inevitably be conflicts.

Most of the nobles who were connected because of the Baskerville deal were the Liberal Party, and occasionally some neutral parties, who were sloppy, so Selton turned them all to the dungeon of Scotland Yard without paying attention.

Although the evidence was sent by a vagrant who is most common in the streets, it is a bit suspicious, and it is clear that someone wants to use him, but the evidence attached is indeed enough for him to dispatch, and it is appropriate to eliminate the enemy at once. Those who come out and dare to use him are fine, anyway, that waif has been detained by his guards, and he will always ask.
