Led Carey looked at Moore coldly, and said with a smile: "I heard that a nobleman of your Venice died, or was killed in the street, and the murderer has not been found so far, I wonder how the Marquis of Moll can still sit still?"

The Marquis of Morr glanced at Led-Carry, and said, "I am currently arranging for the capture of the murderers who dare to assassinate my Venetian nobles, and I already have some eyebrows, but I don't bother you with this matter!"

"Hahaha... With some eyebrows?... Catch the murderer?? What a joke!" Led Carey laughed mockingly, "If you Venice can catch the real murderer, it will be strange!" The meaning of this sentence is already very clear, you Venice have no ability to catch the murderer, and his playful eyes seem to say, I can help you!

Although Moore was more jealous of Villanueva in his heart, he was a clever man, so he smiled bitterly and said, "The matter involved here is very complicated, if your Excellency can do anything good, I am willing to invite you to my mansion to discuss this matter together." ”

It was also a joke that the dignified Marquis of Venice had invited a pirate's subordinate to his mansion to discuss how to arrest the Venetian nobles about the assassination.

But the Marquis of Moore had to do it now, he had already had some trade with pirates, and for more profit. He even cooperated with Villanueva to find out about popular goods in order to gain more profits.

In the course of another business, Moore's merchant ship was unfortunately caught in a storm and sank in the Ionis Sea, and all the luxury goods of the entire five ships sank into the sea, which was almost half of the Marquis Moore's life savings, and it was instantly wiped out.

And at this time, Liede appeared, he borrowed a large amount of money to the Marquis of Moll to help him through the difficulties, but also tied him firmly to his own team, this time they came to Venice, but also relying on the cover of the Marquis of Moore, only swaggering to log in to Venice.

Lie laughed, and continued to say mockingly: "Could it be that Lord Marquis wants to wait for me to die, and your family will catch the murderer again?" Hahaha, ridiculous! It's really ridiculous!" Suddenly his expression turned sharp: "I will never go back to your mansion, you must find me a quiet and safe place to live immediately, and wait until tomorrow, we are discussing the murderer, you are really useless, the murderer is under your nose." You don't even know?"

Marquis Moore's eyes froze, and when he heard Liede's words, he hurriedly turned around and said, "Could it be that Mr. Carey knows who the murderer is?

Led Carey laughed again, this time laughing so hard that tears almost flowed, "Of course I know, and I also know that this murderer even has something to do with your Venetian Parliament," he said, and peeked at the Marquis of Moore, "Haven't you always wanted to get rid of the shackles of the Venetian Council, I think, now is the opportunity." ”

The Marquis of Moore was shocked, and looked around in horror, knowing that this rough man was not only tall and loud, but also the movement from this side, and the workers on the dock dozens of meters away looked curiously towards this side.

"Do you really want to kill me, this is Venice, you shut me up right now. Marquis Moore looked at Ledder with sharp eyes.

"Take it easy, my friend. Liede's smile did not stop at all, "When the murderer is caught, you will not have to be angry with your council, or rather, you can even control the council." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for any reaction from the Marquis of Moore, led his own people, with a big hand, pointed directly to the front, and said happily: "Let's go, let's go to Venice to have a look!"

The team, like a torrent of steel, rolled in front of the Marquis of More, and occasionally the eyes shot out of the team stayed on his body, which was also cold and piercing, full of mockery.

The workers on the dock were still looking at this team curiously, their faces were full of questions, when had they seen such an arrogant team, except for Duke Gallo's men?

Leaving Moore standing alone, although he seemed to be calm, his face was still blue, his body was trembling slightly, and he said to himself: "Sooner or later... Sooner or later, you will die at my hands. ”

After all, Marquis Moore was a high-level nobleman, and his mind was not ordinary for ordinary people. The anger only erupted for a moment, and it was immediately retracted by him. When I heard what Lied said just now, Lied seemed to be very confident that he could find the murderer, and I don't know what method he used.

On the other side, in the palace of the Duke of Gallo.

In a courtyard with an elegant environment and the fragrance of birds and flowers. A blonde, blue-eyed, well-proportioned teenager confronts a soldier. Behind him stood a fair girl, both of whom had unwilling eyes.

These two men were Anna and Massimo, who were locked up in their mansion by their father, the Duke of Gallo, and no one could go out without the Duke's orders, not even in the streets.

"Hey, don't you understand what I'm saying, I'm telling you to get out of the way!" Massimo roared, "don't you know who I am? ”

The soldier who was roaring at him replied angrily: "Mr. Massimo, please be considerate and considerate of us, we really can't let you out." The Duke has given a death order, and if you are allowed to go out, we will die. The soldier wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Mr. Massimo, Miss Anna, I beg you to stay in this house for a while, and when the Duke of Gallo is in a better mood, you can go out, and please don't embarrass us." ”

"Forget it, brother, let's go. Anna couldn't hide the loss in her heart, her eyes turned red, and she gently pulled Ramasimo's sleeve.

"Alas," Massimo shook his head, turning and following Anna back into the room.

Massimo shook his head not because he couldn't go out, but because he was worried about Anna's mood. The two grew up together, and unlike Alger, both had their own interests and hobbies, and they did not have the will to inherit their father like Alger did.

And the age difference between the two is not much, and they have experienced a lot of things together, so they are naturally more trusting in terms of feelings.

This time the Duke of Gallo did not let them out of the house and grounded them. A big part of the reason is not because they don't come home all day, but because Anna.

Massimo naturally understood Anna's intentions, and her heart could never be pulled back since she saw Nangong Yu. Only now, in the Venetian Republic, Anna's fate is always in the hands of someone else, and that person is their father, the Duke of Gallo.

The Duke of Gallo had long told Anna that her fate had already been decided, that is, to become a victim of politics. I still remember that at that time, the Duke of Gallo had a blue face, and Anna was crying bitterly.

In order to make up for Anna's lack of affection, the Duke of Gallo let Anna do what he liked, whether it was forming a fleet or going to sea for adventures, his father never organized it, and even secretly sent people to protect him.

But as Anna grew older and became more and more beautiful, Anna's marriage slowly became a key element in the Venetian Council. For the Duke of Gallo to come forward and marry his most beautiful daughter, no matter who the other party is, politically, it will be of great help.

This was a fortunate event for Venice, for for certain things, if the usual means did not work, and war could not be waged, Anna's marriage became the best means of negotiation.

And now, at this time, France is eyeing the tiger, the Ottomans are sleeping soundly, and the Viraneuver viper is hiding, and Venice needs some countries to help it resist these external threats.

But these countries, such as the Duchy of Milan, the Papal States, Spain, etc., cannot form an alliance with you without some temptation of interest or other temptations. What country is willing to trade its own resources for your peace?

Therefore, Anna has been destined to such a fate since she was born, which is why she devoted herself to the sea, and in her short few years, she desperately did what she liked to do, until she saw Nangong Yu for the first time, and realized that she should control her own destiny.

Sitting quietly at the table in the room, Anna's mind conjured up the black-haired, yellow-skinned figure again. I don't know why, since I saw him for the first time in the barracks, my heart has begun to stir.

The first time I went to sea with him, I gave him the superb ruby that he had kept since birth, and that ruby represented Anna's heart.

The first time he rescued himself from the wicked, Anna decided that she would follow him, even though he looked so different.

"Anna!" called softly.

"Brother, you say, do I still have a chance to see him?" Anna's eyes couldn't help but redden.

"Yes, I will, I will go to my father and plead with him. Massimo, who was standing behind him, lowered his head and said softly.

"No need to go, it's useless, I'm a victim of this family, sometimes, how I wish I was just a commoner, so that I could be free to be with him without the constraints of identity. Brother, do you know that the time I spent with him was my happiest, why was it so short?" Anna said with a sigh of relief.

Massimo sighed, patted Anna's shoulder, and after a long silence, said, "Anna, it stands to reason that you are not yet old enough to marry, why did my father suddenly confine us here?" ”

Anna was stunned for a moment, her thoughts were freed from her mind, and when she heard Massimo's words, she also felt a little strange: "When you say that, I just remember, it seems that we haven't gotten any news about marriage. Nor did any messenger from any country propose to my father. ”

Massimo nodded, held his chin with his left hand, put his right hand underneath, pondered for a while, and said, "There is something wrong with this matter, I still remember that a few days ago, Nangong and I fought with my father's soldiers in Ragusa!"

Anna was amazed and said, "How did you fight with your father's own soldiers?"

Massimo smiled, as if recalling the time when he acted with Mr. Nangong. A look of yearning appeared on his face: "Yes." ”

Afterwards, Massimo recounted in detail what had happened that day in Ragusa.

After hearing this, Anna thought for a while and said, "It stands to reason that my father can indeed send someone to investigate the murderer, but there is no need for him to send his own personal soldiers, he doesn't know that we are in Ragusa, but he actually sent personal soldiers, which is a bit unbelievable." ”

"I seem to have thought of an incredible possibility," Massimo said. Marco touched his chin again, "I still remember that Mr. Nangong told us that he also killed a person in Venice, that is, the night of the Albert Banquet. ”

Anna nodded and agreed, "Yes, I know about this matter, but I believe that Mr. Nangong did a very clean job and did not leave any clues, besides, the person he killed was Phoebe, he and the man in black tradition, there is a bad conspiracy, and it is also appropriate to kill him, but Mr. Nangong also dealt with the man in black." ”

Massimo continued: "Although Phoebe is the son of Lucius, he has not yet inherited his father's title, and although he is noble, he is not a nobleman. ”

Anna said, "But it was Lucius who died this time, do you think it was really Mr. Nangong who did it?" ”

Massimo shook his head and said, "No, he will definitely tell us something, and even if he does, there is no need for him to hide it." Doesn't he trust us?"

Anna said, "And what might be the incredible thing you just said?"

Massimo was silent for a long time, slowly walked to the window, looked at the green that came into view outside the window, and said, "I think our father may need Mr. Nangong to be this substitute ghost." ”

Anna was taken aback: "For the dead ghost?"

Massimo nodded and said, "Yes, as far as I know. This time, the person who killed Baron Lucius on the street was highly skilled, and it was rumored that only Mr. Nangong had such a skill in the whole of Venice. But at that time, Mr. Nangong was with us, in Ragusa, not in Venice, so Mr. Nangong was not a murderer. Massimo sighed, "But the timing of Lucius' death is too sensitive, and too weird. Originally, there was no reason for such a low-level nobleman to cause such a big shock, but such a thing happened. ”

Anna gasped and said, "You mean that my father has already determined that Mr. Nangong is the murderer, and he knows that we are with him, so he grounded us here and didn't let us meet him?"

Massimo nodded again and said, "It is, and I'm sure it is." ”

Anna looked at Massimo blankly, then turned her gaze back to the table and muttered, "Nangong, you must not come to Venice, you will be in danger." ”
