Power and Empire Chapter 396: The enemy (3)
It is a commercial market town in the northern suburbs of Crest. The whole town is on a piece of white sand-alkali land,
There is an old-style spire building in the center of the square in the town, which is the central hall of the entire market town.
The bluish-black stone wall is light white due to the perennial wind and sun, and two yellow dirt roads spread along the Satsuma River from here,
From the center of the town to the entrance of the town, there is a small lake with clusters of poplar trees, which is pierced out like a sleeve.
The end of the lake is the entrance of the town. On the left of the small lake is an elegant noble manor.
The poplar village with green roofs and thick lakes. It is particularly eye-catching in the center of this white saline-alkali land.
"This place is good! I didn't expect your Lida family to have such a beautiful manor here"
The fat man stopped his horse in front of the iron hook fence of the manor. Lidarcus, who was already waiting, hurriedly took his assistant and greeted him with some of the Samor banner leaders who had arrived first.
The fat man looked around at the environment and felt it was pretty good, so he joked.
"I knew this a long time ago, I should let the Lida family be in charge of the surveillance work of Cristo. The intelligence departments of Samer disappointed me too much,
After this matter is dealt with, I will definitely get these lazy guys in order! "
Lidarcus was taken aback when he heard the fat man's slight ridicule.
Lidarcus is a cautious man
Although there are more elements of ridicule in the fat man's words, it is not without warning.
It seems that the power of his family is about to reach the bottom line that the Grand Duke can tolerate. This is not a good sign. Lidarcus lowered his head in trepidation. "Big, my lord joked. The Lida family will always be the most loyal servants of the Grand Duke! The Lida family can have the glory they are now, and it is completely trusted. My lord’s blessing!" Lidacus said flatteringly, "Well, I have heard enough compliments! "The fat man waved his hand, a smart man like Lidacus should be able to understand what he meant.
This incident exposed the insufficiency of the Samor intelligence department, but the Lida family’s huge network of relationships also made the fat man a little bit jealous
Getting off from the moment, the fat man looked at Lidarcus and the several Moore banner leaders behind him, with a serious expression
"Has the matter been fully investigated! People and evidence! I have given you ten days, and hope not to let me down!"
"Yes, my lord!" Lidarcus quickly took out a carefully prepared text wrapped in blue velvet from his arms, and carefully handed it to the fat man.
"The Grand Duke! This is the private diary of the old Duke Duai who was stolen. We checked several secret incidents and proved that this should be the real copy, but...
Lidarcus’ blinking eyes paused in Fatty’s body and hesitated.
"This was given to us by the old butler of the Duai family. The subordinates suspected that it was the old butler himself who stole the diary! Only he would have the opportunity to steal the old Duke’s private diary in that case !"
"The old housekeeper?" The fat man was shocked when he heard that the old housekeeper might have stolen the diary.
Last time in the Duai family, the fat man had met this old housekeeper,
In Fatty’s impression, this old housekeeper was an extremely loyal servant. At that time, the Duai family was almost forced to be deported, but the old housekeeper was still able to follow the old duke without abandoning it.
This thing seems strange! The fat man murmured to himself,
With a solemn expression, he took the diary from Lidarcus. I heard a faint smell of fur uploaded from the diary,
It's Lalo hide! The fat man who had done countless luxury goods trades was also shocked by the cover of this diary, and he trusted the authenticity of this notebook a little more
The dull blue of the leather surface and the comfortable lines touched by the fingers undoubtedly prove the preciousness of this leather.
This is the precious leather that can be owned by making the coat of arms that the royal family hangs in the center of the Kingdom Hall.
It is said to be a ferocious monster from the deep south of the sea,
The fat man always thought that this kind of fur was a legend. I didn’t expect to see it here. Many noble families have only heard of it, but haven’t actually seen it.
Being able to use such a piece of leather to make the cover of the diary shows the importance of this diary to the old duke
The fat man's hand stopped on the surface of the diary, and he hesitated.
"Look? Or not?"
This is the private diary of the old Duke Duai,
I may have opened up a prestigious old man, a secret that I don’t want anyone to discover!
"How is Miss Ellenstein?"
In the end, the fat man didn’t choose to open the diary, but took it in his arms. He was going to wait till the night is quiet, and then read it carefully.
This is a real duke's memoir!
In this era of lack of small culture, but time is a good product,
Lidakus loosened his expression when he saw the fat man put the diary in his pocket.
Fortunately, everything is still under control!
If Fatty opens the diary without hesitation, then the contents will definitely make Fatty run away!
Lidarcus reported that "Miss Allenstein is very peaceful now": The Ai family was ten days ago. Fubu just got a message.
Because Miss Allenstein has confirmed that Xiao is not the granddaughter of the old Duke, the Duai family announced that they will elect a new successor tomorrow!
Before this, Miss Alan Stein had been confined in another courtyard in the southern corner of the Duai Family City! It’s said to be a joint action from several side-family families,
They surrounded the Duke’s mansion on the first day of the old Duke’s death, blocked all news from the outside world, and asked Miss Alanstein to surrender the position of heir. We have secretly sent someone to surround the other house.
As long as the adults are willing, Miss Alanstein will appear in front of the adults in less than an hour! "
"Not for the time being, I don't want to alarm these dying guys! The fat man's sharp eyes swept across the faces of Lidarcus and several banner leaders, raising his voice. You must protect Alan. Miss Sting, if she suffers any harm, it will be up to me how to deal with you."
"Yes, my subordinates understand how to do it."
"The life of aristocrats is always corrupt and decayed, and the old duke with strict nature must have been a wandering dude when he was young,
"Find out who spread the news that Ellen Stein is not the granddaughter of the old duke? The fat man continued to ask, as if he had been brooding about this matter
"Report your lord, we have investigated a woman named Levenkana!" Lidarcus quickly replied, "She is a vassal of the Duai family, the mother of the contemporary patriarch of Fitline,
I used to be Ellen Stein’s nanny when she was a child! still is. still is. Lidarcus stopped talking hesitantly, not knowing whether he should continue speaking,
Seeing Lidarcus’s weird face, the fat man snorted angrily, "Still the lover of the old prince! Only the closest and most trusted person around him can tell such a secret thing!" /
"My lord's wisdom really makes his subordinates ashamed!" Lidarcus nodded,
What's all this! The fat man sighed secretly. He didn't expect the old Duke of Wise Ming I to end this way in the end!
Fortunately, Alan Stein did not suffer any damage, and the fat man's heart was finally released.
The doubts in my heart are also opened,
Among the people who know that they have a close relationship with the Duai family, the old housekeeper is one of them.
Obviously, when the old duke died suddenly and Alan Stein was in confinement, the loyal old butler could only choose to steal the old duke’s private diary to delay the family election of a new heir.
My lord, see if we need to do it now! "Lidarcus saw the fat man flashing a somewhat confused look, and subconsciously fattened the fat with his eyes. The hundreds of murderous cavalry guards followed the fat man,
This time, the Fatty was accompanied by not only 5,000 Samor Guards Cavalry, but also the 18th Banner Regiment who stayed behind Hubbaran.
Eight thousand elite Samor heavy infantrymen are now hidden in the woods fifteen miles from the outskirts of Crest,
As long as the fat man makes a gesture, the city of Cristol will be shrouded in a **** storm!
Thinking of this, Lidarcus couldn't help feeling a bit grateful. Fortunately, this incident was mainly due to the internal conflicts of the Duai family.
Otherwise,
Now the oncoming wind should have a pungent smell of blood.
"Since Miss Allenstein is fine for the time being, I don't want to affect too many people! Tomorrow is not going to hold a heirship ceremony, it just happens to be able to get these people in one go!
The fat man hesitated, rolled over and got off the horse, handed the horse's rein to the guard behind him, and walked into the hall of the manor surrounded by everyone,
After a day of bumps on the war horse, the fat man felt tired for a while, and his bones were almost scattered by the bumps. The fat man looked at the gloomy sky outside, let everyone retreat and rest, and then sent someone to stay at the business in Kyoto Duhan, the Deacon of the Alliance Kyoto, came here.
"Long time no see!, old friend". The fat man leaned on the seat, with a glass of red burgundy in his right hand, and raised it to the haggard Stuhan in front of him.
The scared Stuhan lay on the ground with an expression of trepidation. The former president of the business alliance has not been so happy recently.
The current Cristo is completely out of control!
Various forces are competing in this chaotic city~IndoMTL.com~Business is dying, and the caravans with a lot of population loss have bypassed the previous Kyoto Golden Commercial Road, choosing from Kristol’s Peripheral areas pass through, which seriously affects the influence and spread of the business alliance in Cristol
The departure of the old duke undoubtedly made this chaotic situation worse,
Every time I think about how a stern fat man would punish himself, Stuhan has insomnia all night
"To be honest, old friend! You are not doing very well! I wanted to appoint you as the head of Crestau Autonomous City at an appropriate time. kind".
Fatty's eyes were shining, and he gently took a sip of the burgundy in his hand, letting the spicy wine taste spread in his mouth,
"Now that I saw it, I guessed it was wrong. Commercial ability is not equal to government ability! After finishing the business here, you can return to Japan!
