Chapter 1555: Dumb Loss
Upon learning the news that the castle was attacked, Fisher's face changed suddenly.
"not good!"
Without time to think, he hurried back as fast as he could.
As soon as he arrived outside the castle, he found that the castle guards were lying on the ground. The moment he saw one of the figures, Fisher hurried forward to confirm whether the other person was dead or alive.
This is the captain of the castle's guards, who possesses the strength of the Hundred Refining Realm and is considered his most trusted subordinate!
He heaved a sigh of relief only after confirming that the other party had only been knocked unconscious.
Then, as if he thought of something, he rushed into the castle again.
The castle was in a mess, as if it had been looted, but Fisher was too lazy to even take a second look and rushed all the way to the castle basement where five hundred muskets, bullets and gunpowder were hidden.
But they found that the things they had robbed from the Luosha Republicans had disappeared!
“Peter!!!!”
How proud he was during the day, how crazy he is now.
The rage in his chest made Fisher want to overturn the entire castle in front of him and crush it! In this matter, he really didn't expect that Peter would be so brave to break into the castle! At the same time, on the other side, Peter, who had been frustrated for a day, finally felt proud after taking back his goods, smashing the other party's castle, and burning down Fisher's luxurious manor.
Then he looked at his trusted think tank Gilt with some disbelief.
"Gilt, how did you guess that guy would hide the goods in the castle?"
"I'm not 100% sure. There's an element of gambling involved."
Gilt also had a clear idea of Peter's question.
"Normally speaking, if the other party just wants to hide something, there are too many places to hide it. Even if we were to search, we might not be able to find it."
"From this point of view, he could have made us pay a corresponding price, set a time limit, and then let us search. If we can't find anything, we will not only have to pay the price, but it will also be a bigger blow to our party."
"However, the other party did not do so. Instead, he rejected it outright."
"From this point of view, I suspect that the other party hid the things in a place where we are likely to search, so he didn't dare to take the risk."
"Based on this premise, and the place needs to be safe enough for Fisher to feel, there is basically only one possibility, and that is the castle."
"Fisher usually stays in the castle. As a warrior at the Vajra Realm level, he is in charge and will not allow a forced search. Who can force a search of the castle under his nose?"
Fisher certainly could not have imagined that their actions would come so quickly and so cruelly.
More importantly, they are also familiar with the castle! Don't forget that the castle of the Smith royal family was completely occupied by them for a long time in the past.
During that time, they had already figured out the castle thoroughly.
This was also the biggest reason why they were able to find the goods so quickly after invading the castle.
Even though Gilt said directly that there was also an element of gambling involved, after listening to his analysis, Peter still had to admit that Gilt was meticulous.
Then, Peter remembered something and couldn't help asking another question.
"What a shame! Why don't you let me kill the chief guard directly?"
At that time, Gilt specifically instructed that no one was allowed to kill or take anything from the castle, and that they should leave after finding the goods.
This made Peter feel somewhat unhappy.
The captain of the guards was a warrior at the Hundred Refinements Realm and also Fisher's confidant. If he could be killed directly, Fisher would surely be so angry that he would vomit blood, and at the same time, it would also deal a blow to the strength of Smith's party.
In response, Gilt shook his head.
"You can't kill him."
At this point, Gilt paused.
"Fisher's men robbed our goods, but we couldn't do anything to them when we confronted them in Parliament. Why is that?"
"Because we have no evidence?"
Peter gave his answer somewhat uncertainly.
Gilt nodded.
"That's right. Because we have no evidence and we haven't completely torn our faces apart, the Smith Republic still needs to continue to exist. Even if there are intrigues and tricks in secret, in public, everyone still has to follow the laws of the Smith Republic."
"We have only recovered our stolen goods. Fisher cannot sue us for this matter because, according to him, he did not rob. So what can he sue us for?"
"Someone broke into the castle? But no one died in the castle, and no valuables were lost."
"Chairman Narga must be aware of this matter. Fisher was the first to take action, and he deserves the loss now. In the end, Chairman Narga will only help us put this matter behind us."
Gilt's words made Peter's eyes light up.
And Gilt continued to speak...
"But if we kill Fisher's chief guard, then things will be troublesome. Fisher can use the death of his chief guard to request an investigation and use this matter to attack us. After all, in Smith Republic, there are too few people who can easily kill a Hundred Refining Realm warrior."
"According to the law, even Speaker Narga can't refuse. Then things will be troublesome."
After listening to Gilt's analysis, Peter suddenly understood.
As for the incident of setting fire to Fisher Manor, it was just a small matter compared to the life of a captain of the guards in the Hundred Refining Realm.
Arson is not difficult, anyone can do it. Even if there is an investigation, in the end only an arsonist will be found.
At that time, for the sake of national stability, Narga will definitely close the case directly, and it will be useless for Peter to make trouble.
Even the other side may not be able to find out, the fire was very thorough, even if there was evidence, it would have been burned away.
The next day, the parliament convened again. As expected, Fisher, who had not slept for almost a whole night, had bloodshot eyes and looked ugly.
But he never mentioned the castle at all, he just asked for a thorough investigation into the arson on his manor.
Obviously, as a party leader, Fisher was much smarter than Peter. He quickly realized the loss of the castle. He was sure of it, and bringing it up would only allow Peter to counterattack.
Then we can only use the burning of the manor as a breakthrough point and see if we can seize the opportunity.
However, the arsonist turned himself in early the next morning.
He was so sincere throughout, saying it was just an accident. He was hiding in the stable smoking a cigarette, and a spark accidentally ignited the straw pile next to him. The horse was frightened and ran around, spreading the fire.
Narga knew exactly what happened in the meantime.
In consideration of the fact that the other party voluntarily surrendered himself, he was given a lighter sentence and spared the death penalty. He was sentenced to fifty years of hard labor and the income from his labor was to compensate for the losses caused by the burning of Fisher Manor.
Judging from the other person's age, fifty years of hard labor is equivalent to working until death.
But Fisher was obviously not satisfied with the result at all, and his face looked so gloomy that it seemed as if water might drip out of it throughout the whole process.
