Chapter 274: Misconception
In this case, Wayne also deserves to admit defeat, he didn't intend to succeed in the first place, and was about to say that his proposal was not yet ripe, and he would come back next time.
Boris stepped forward.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although Count Niels' proposal is not yet mature, the process still needs to go through a while, and we will vote to see if Count Niels's proposal can be approved by everyone. ”
Wayne then discovered that this poisonous snake had been hiding in the shadows all along. On the surface, it was to relieve Wayne, but Wayne also knew that from the current situation, the proposal would definitely not pass. The final vote must have been dismal, and Boris wanted to make another fool of himself.
But there is also a way, whether it should be admitted or cowardly.
Then many nobles voted one after another, taking over the surprise of not leaving the house. Wayne only had a dismal 54 votes, which was a few votes from his allies in the Nils family. Don't embarrass Wayne.
Audrey directly wrote her unhappiness on her face, not looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face, at least take care of her face. also cast a complaining look at Wayne, as if to say, why are you talking about this kind of troublesome thing, you can't get off the stage, it's too embarrassing.
Wayne shrugged, indicating that he didn't tighten.
After that, it's the daily dull grinding time, it's just nothing, but I just want to stay here, just like the meeting in my previous life.
In the blink of an eye, in the evening, the council was over early, and the nobles had gone home. Of course, there is also a place to go to Smoke Willow Lane.
But this time the nobles were in trouble.
"Viscount Andro, I have something I want your help with. ”
Andro said impatiently.
"I'll talk about it when I'm done seeing Mona. ”
Andro was about to step forward when the merchant reached out.
"Andro felt that Mona was a little uncomfortable today. ”
Seeing this, Andro said unhappily.
"What's the matter, you say?"
"Hehe, it's actually nothing, it's just that today I heard that Duke Nils was deflated in Parliament. ”
When Andro heard this, he was immediately alert.
"How do you know. ”
The merchant's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth upturned.
"Word has gotten about it, and some of my friends know about it. ”
Andro said uneasily.
"What does this have to do with you asking me for help? ”
"Well, the main thing is Count Nils, if this bill is brought up again, I hope Viscount Andro will vote in favor. ”
Andro warned.
"It's dangerous for you to do this, it's a noble business. ”
The merchant did not panic, but said with a grin.
"But we're friends, aren't we, and I think friends can do this little favor. And Mona wants that too. ”
Although Andro was a little overwhelmed by his evil fire, he also knew that it was extraordinary. No matter how lustful you are, you can't exchange your net worth for your principal.
"Since Mona is not feeling well, then I will go back. Let someone else help you with this favor. ”
With that, Andro turned to leave.
An unhappy voice sounded behind him.
"Since the viscount wants to leave, settle the account. ”
Andro paused and whispered.
"What an account, I remember I didn't take anything to eat, and what to eat. ”
The merchant smacked his teeth.
"It's not today, it's the consumption of most of the past six months. About 103,25 gold coins, I wiped them for you. 103,000 gold coins. ”
Where did Andro get so much money, he was just a small viscount, and in a place with a big palm, there was not much in taxes.
"But you said it was a mutual help between friends. ”
The merchant said.
"But Lord Viscount doesn't want to be my friend. ”
"You're threatening me?"
"No, I can't take the Viscount, I just think that the Imperial Capital Documentary must be very interested in this. ”
Andro said with a squint.
"You wait, in three days, I will definitely deliver the money. ”
"Then I'll wait for the good news from Lord Viscount, "Imperial Capital Documentary" is sad that there is no big news recently. ”
"Hmph~"
Andro shook his sleeves and walked away.
Many nobles were threatened with the same, some compromised, and some were unwilling to give in, like Andro, and went around raising money. But Andro thought of a simpler, rougher way to end the matter.
A day later, Landry died inexplicably in his homeroom. The doors and windows were closed, and there was no poisoning, but he died in a terrible appearance, with protruding eyes, purple lips, strangulation marks on his neck, and an extremely awkward posture slumped in a chair. It was strange, the doors and windows were closed, and there were no servants present. Of course, the most suspicious one was the last servant to come out, but how could a petite woman kill Landry.
In the imperial capital with more than a million people, one or two disappeared or died every day, which was not a big deal. But it's not the same for those who know. It's a very strong model, especially for Wayne.
Landry is an important member of the Chamber of Commerce, and he is an important pawn of his own. Two days ago, he must have been persuading Andro to take over this time and die. The meaning speaks for itself. The coincidence at this time does not look like a coincidence.
If this matter is not handled well, then all the nobles will also learn from Viscount Andro, and the chess game that Wayne has worked so hard to set up will be completely wasted. So Wayne intervened directly in the matter.
Andro was also panicked for a while, after all, Wayne was famous, and there were still few things that could stump him. But when I think about it, I can't see that what I did is seamless.
The first step to solve the case when I came to the scene in person, fortunately, there was no damage to the scene.
The doors and windows were covered with cobwebs and dust, and it could be seen that they had not been opened for a long time. There are no secret compartments in the room. Landry's strange death may be unfamiliar to many people. But both he and the seasoned guards knew that this was a typical symptom of suffocation. The blood lacks oxygen, so the lips turn purple. The eyes are prominent, which is the appearance of desperate struggle.
Wayne asked the frightened maid.
"You were the first person to see Landry, did Landry have any strange symptoms at that time?"
The maid said tremblingly.
"Master, he's nothing, just a little unhappy, he should have encountered something difficult. ”
"Then when did you find out that Landry was dead, and after such a long time. ”
The maid said softly.
"Knowing that the master was unhappy, we were worried about being scolded, so we didn't dare to go in and have a look. I didn't dare to call it until dinner. ”
"Did you hear any strange noises?"
"Yes, but it's a roof with tiles. ”
Wayne reacted immediately.
"Do you know these people in that wave?"
The maid was startled by Wayne's excitement and nodded like garlic.
"Yes, yes. ”
"Okay, guards, hurry up and arrest someone, I think I know who the murderer is. ”
Wayne instantly had a feeling that Sherlock Holmes was possessed, and there was only one truth. But apparently things won't be that simple, and by the time the guards arrived, the two were gone.
