It is a commercial market town on the northern outskirts of Chrysdo. The whole town is on a white sandy field.

There is an old-fashioned spire building in the center of the town's square, which is the central hall of the entire market town.

The blue-black stone wall is pale white due to the perennial wind and sun, and two dry yellow dirt roads spread along the Satsuma Kuri River from here.

From the center of the town to the entrance of the town, there is a small lake with poplar trees, forked out like a sleeve.

At the end of the lake is the entrance to the town, and to the left of the small lake is an elegant aristocratic estate.

A poplar village with green rooftops and lakes. It stands out in the center of this white saline land.

"This is a good place! I didn't expect you Lida family to have such a beautiful manor here."

The fat man stopped his horse in front of the iron fence of the manor, and Lidakus, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly took his assistants and several Samore banner commanders who arrived first.

The fat man looked around at the environment, felt that it was not bad, and teased in his mouth

"If I had known this, I should have put the Lida family in charge of Chrysdor's surveillance, and those intelligence services in Samore disappointed me,

After this matter is dealt with, I will definitely take care of these lazy guys!"

Hearing the fat man's slightly ridiculous words, Lidarchus was taken aback,

Lidarchus is a cautious man

In the fat man's words, although there are more elements of ridicule, it is not without warning.

It seems that the power of his family has almost reached the bottom line that the Grand Duke can tolerate. This is not a good sign, Lidakus bowed his head in fear, "Great, my lord said that I am laughing, the Lida family will always be the most loyal servants of the Grand Duke!, the Lida family can have such glory now, it is completely thanks to the blessing of the adult!" Lidacus said flatteringly, "Okay, I have heard enough compliments!" The fat man waved his hand, a smart person like Lidarchus should be able to understand what he meant

This incident revealed the shortcomings of the Samore intelligence department, but the huge network of the Lida family couldn't help but make the fat man a little jealous

Getting off the horse, the fat man looked at Lidakus and several leaders of the Moore Banner behind him, and said with a stern expression

"Is the matter completely cleared! People and evidence! I gave you ten days, I hope you don't let me down!"

"Yes, my lord!" Lidarchus hurriedly took out a carefully prepared text wrapped in blue velvet from his bosom, and carefully handed it to the fat man

"Grand Duke! This is the stolen private diary of the old Duke of Duai, and we have checked several of the hidden events in it to prove that it is supposed to be the real one, but it is only ......

Lidarchus' eyes flickered, and he paused in the fat man's body and hesitated

"This was given to us by the old butler of the Duai family. The subordinates suspect that it should be the old butler himself who stole the diary! Only he has the opportunity to steal the old duke's private diary under that circumstance!"

"Old butler?" The fat man heard that it might be the old butler who stole the diary, and his expression froze,

Last time in the Duai family, the fat man once saw this old butler,

In the fat man's impression, this old butler was a loyal servant, and the Duai family was almost on the verge of being forced to expel at that time, but the old butler was still able to follow the old duke without abandoning.

The fat man muttered to himself,

With a solemn face, he took the diary from Lidarchus's hand. Smell a faint smell of fur coming from the diary,

The fat man, who had done countless luxury trades, was also shocked by the cover of this diary, and he had a little more trust in the authenticity of this notebook

The dull blue color of the leather surface, as well as the comfortable texture touched by the fingers, undoubtedly prove the preciousness of this leather.

This is the coat of arms that the royal family hangs in the center of the kingdom hall, and only the precious leather can be owned.

It is said to be a ferocious monster from the deep sea of the south,

The fat man always thought that this fur was a kind of legend. I didn't expect to see it here, even many dignitaries have only heard of it, but have not really seen it

The fact that such a piece of leather can be used to make a diary cover shows the importance of this diary to the old duke

The fat man's hand stopped on the surface of the diary, and he fell into a trace of hesitation

"To see? or not to look?"

This is the private diary of the old Duke of Duai,

What he opened by himself may be an old man with a grand reputation, a secret that he doesn't want people to explore!

"How's Miss Ellensting?"

In the end, the fat man did not choose to open the diary but took it into his arms, ready to wait until the dead of night, and then open it carefully.

This is a true duke's memoir!

In this era of lack of small culture, it is a good product to pass the time,

Lidarchus saw the fat man put the diary in his pocket, and his expression loosened,

Fortunately, a qiē is still in the control!

If the fat man opens the diary without hesitation, then the contents will definitely make the fat man go berserk!

Lidakus reported that "Miss Allensteen is fine now": the Ai family ten days ago. I just got a piece of news.

Because Miss Allensteen has confirmed that Xiao is not the granddaughter of the old duke, the Duai family has announced that a new heir will be elected tomorrow!

Before that, Miss Allenstine had been confined to a separate house in the southern corner of the Duai family's city!

On the first day of the old duke's death, they besieged the Duke's Palace, blocked all news from the outside world, and demanded that Miss Allensteen give up the position of heir, and we had secretly sent people to surround the palace.

As long as the adults are willing, it won't take an hour for Miss Allensteen to appear in front of the adults!"

"No need for the time being, I don't want to alarm these guys who are dying!" The fat man's sharp eyes swept over the faces of Lidakus and several flag leaders, and he raised his voice. You have to protect Miss Alensteen, and if she gets hurt in the slightest, see how I clean you up."

"Yes, subordinates know how to do it".

"The life of the aristocracy is always ** and decaying, and the old duke, who is strict by nature, must be a profligate son when he is young.

"Find out who got the news out that Alan Stin isn't the granddaughter of the old duchess?. The fat man continued to ask, as if he had been haunted by this matter

"Your Excellency, we have investigated a woman named Leavenkana!" Lidarchus hurriedly replied, "She is a vassal of the Duai family, the mother of the current patriarch of Fettlane,

She used to be Allensteen's nurse when she was a child! Still is. Lidarchus stopped talking with a hesitant face, not knowing whether to continue or not,

Seeing Lidarchus's strange face, the fat man snorted indignantly and said, "It's still the old duke's lover! Only the closest and most trusted person around him can come up with such a secret thing!"

"Your lord's wisdom is a shame to your subordinates!" Lidarchus nodded.

What's the matter! The fat man sighed secretly, he didn't expect the old duke of Ying Ming I to end up with such an ending!

But fortunately, Allenstin was not harmed, and the heart that the fat man carried along the way finally let go,

The doubts of my heart were opened,

Among the people who knew that they had a close relationship with the Duai family, the old butler was one,

Obviously, in the case of the sudden death of the old duke and the solitary imprisonment of Allensteen, the loyal old butler can only choose to steal the private diary of the old duke to delay the election of a new heir for the family.

My lord, do you think we need to do it immediately!" Lidarchus saw the fat man's confused look, and subconsciously fattened his eyes with his eyes, and the hundreds of murderous guards cavalry followed behind the fat man,

This time, there were not only 5,000 Samor Guards cavalry who accompanied the fat man south, but also the Eighteenth Banner Regiment that stayed behind in Huberaban.

Eight thousand elite Samar hoplites, now hidden in the woods fifteen miles from the outskirts of Claisdor,

As long as the fat man makes a gesture, the Chrysdo City in front will be shrouded in a strange bloody rain!

Thinking of this, Lidakus couldn't help but feel a little lucky, fortunately, this matter was mainly the internal contradiction of the Duai family,

otherwise

The oncoming wind must be mixed with the pungent smell of blood.

"Since Miss Allensteen is fine for the time being, I don't want to affect too many people!

The fat man hesitated, turned over and got off his horse, handed the reins to the guards behind him, and walked into the hall of the manor surrounded by everyone.

After a day of jolting on the war horse, the fat man felt a tiredness on his body, and the bones on his body were about to be scattered by the jolts, the fat man looked at the dark sky outside, first asked everyone to retreat and rest, and then sent someone to find the deacon of Kyoto, the business alliance Kyoto Deacon Si Duhan, who stayed in Kyoto.

"Long time no see!, old friend". The fat man leaned on the seat, holding a glass of red brown wine in his right hand, and raised it to the haggard Stuhan in front of him.

The frightened Si Duhan lay on the ground with a frightened expression, the former president of this business alliance, who has not been happy recently,

Now Chrysdo has completely lost control!

All sorts of forces are vying for each other in this chaotic city,

Commerce withered, and many caravans bypassed the former Kyoto Golden Trade Route and chose to pass through the outlying areas of Chrysdor, which affected the influence and development of the commercial alliance in Krysdor

The departure of the old duke undoubtedly made this chaotic situation even more severe.

Every time he thought about how the stern fat man would punish himself, Stuhan couldn't sleep all night

"Tell you the truth, old friend! You are really not doing well! I would have liked to appoint you the head of Chrysdor Borough in due course, but you can see what you have made of this place."

The fat man's eyes flashed, and he gently took a sip of the brown wine in his hand, letting the spicy taste of wine spread in his mouth,

"Now that I see it, I miscalculated, business talent is not equal to government talent!
