In the days after the return of the princess's mission to suppress the bandits, the capital city of Hanover was very lively, and all forces were moving frequently.

First of all, the people of the princess mission, under the pretense of investigating the mastermind behind the assassination, went to the various properties under the name of the Charlton family to make trouble - in the eyes of the Charlton family, the behavior of the princess mission is of course troublemaking.

Fortunately, they did things in a measured manner and did not deliberately damage things and property. It's just an investigation into the assassination of the princess, which doesn't sound like a good thing, and who dares to come up and join in the fun? It's not okay to go to any shop and liquor store, so why do you have to go to Charlton? If you are accidentally suspected by Her Royal Highness the Princess, how many heads on your neck are not enough to cut off.

The mission not only went to the scene to investigate, but also brought people back for questioning. Although it is true that it is only an inquiry, there is no uncivilized behavior such as beating to extract confessions, and it will be released after a day and a half. But the Charlton family, like other noble families, had most of their men squatting in the camp of the mission troops in the northern suburbs. Those who help in various industries are already stretched thin, and they are not enough. Now that they have to take turns to take a group of people, can the Charlton family not complain?

For this matter, Count Lev personally visited Her Royal Highness Princess Arlina. But judging from the angry expression on his face when he came out of the princess's house, the outcome of the negotiations was probably not satisfactory.

No way, at least on the surface, the Charlton family is the most suspicious, and it makes sense for the public to investigate them. Besides, the attitude of the people sent to carry out the mission was also very polite and restrained, so that no one could find fault.

In front of the Charlton family, Princess Arina took the initiative. But in their communication with other nobles, they were deflated.

The members of the mission have been visiting each family one by one, and from the first day of their arrival in Hannover, they have never stopped. And once is not enough, but also to visit a second time, a third time.

But after returning from the western forest area, the attitudes of the major families have changed a lot. The personnel of the mission, represented by Xu Feng and Lin Zhifeng, often had to eat behind closed doors. Either the head of the family has something to go out, or the patriarch is sick and it is not suitable to see guests. Even if he politely let him into the mansion, he only let a few inconsequential side members greet him as accompaniment.

Maybe they don't think the two of them are enough, and they don't deserve the patriarch to go out in person.

After all, Princess Arlina is young, and her political consciousness is still lacking. Even if this kind of visit has no practical significance, it still has to be done to save face, and how can you casually send two small errands to make up for it.

What's more, there are still some practical things to talk about with each other.

The aristocracy of Hanover was generous and tolerant, and his political cultivation was profound and rich. Instead of blaming the young Princess Arlina, they decided to set an example and show Her Highness the princess the manners and manners of the nobles.

When they came to the princess's door in person with graceful steps, they were told that Her Royal Highness the princess was cultivating behind closed doors!

The patriarchs only then remembered that Princess Arlina was a magician. Before Anthony was born, she was known as a genius magical girl known as the "new star of the empire".

Well, that's a good reason too. Although I chose to cultivate at this time...... The generous and tolerant aristocratic lords had no choice but to go home and come back at another date. You know, magicians practice day and night.

They had perseverance, or rather the weight of the private soldiers in the camp was heavy enough to arrive on time every day.

Finally, Princess Yalina didn't have to cultivate, and she could meet the VIPs. But no matter what the nobles said, Her Royal Highness just flashed her big beautiful eyes and listened very carefully, but there was no definite response.

"What the adults say, this palace doesn't understand much. As everyone knows, it's usually Anthony who is in charge. Unfortunately, he was cultivating today. Why don't you go back and wait for the palace to discuss it with him, and then give you an answer? ”

The heads of the families wailed in their hearts!

I saw that the difficult Anthony was not there, and I thought that there was a chance to open the gap from the foolish Princess Arlina. Who would have thought that this turned out to be a big pit, waiting for them to jump into it.

If they're not mistaken, then the demon boy should be, probably, like a monster double cultivator, right? Moreover, the realm is higher, and it takes longer to cultivate.

When is that going to be!?

The generous aristocratic lords came gracefully and calmly, and left gracefully and calmly. With a wave of his sleeves, he only brought back a belly of anger.

Let you be arrogant, I want to see how many days you can be arrogant. Hum!

The major families lack a large number of armed forces, so naturally there are all kinds of inconveniences. But it's just inconvenient. Despite the flames of the glorious empire, the province of Hanover was still peaceful due to its geographical location. Besides, if there is any situation, isn't there still tens of thousands of troops directly under the Grand Duke?

Comparatively speaking, the princess mission could not afford to spend time.

In the case of the deliberate evasion of the Grand Duke's Palace, the contradictions between the two sides can only be resolved by the two sides themselves. Princess Arlina's attitude will not solve any problems, but may make the relationship more stiff.

Did she think that she had been assassinated, and that she had been wronged and had taken advantage of the situation, so she could take advantage of the situation to put pressure on the nobles? Immature!

As for urging the province of Hanover to send troops to support the various battlefields? Dream on! The Grand Duke was already hesitating, and if all the nobles offended by the princess were united and spoke together. The balance in the Grand Duke's heart will be completely tilted, and I am afraid that he will be able to make a decision immediately.

These secret encounters, hidden beneath a gentle façade, can only be regarded as an appetizer before a meal. The banquets and talks held by the Marquis Franz, who played an important role in the province, were the highlight of this wave of turmoil in the provincial capital.

For a while, the various nobles and lords seemed to be unable to sit still, and ran around the city with their entourage. Either busy attending the banquet of the Marquis, or visiting the residence of the princess's mission; It's not a secret conversation with a close family, or an appointment with a small circle of old men to have an opinion.

Not to mention the aristocratic lords, even if they are ordinary people, as long as they are clever and have a little vision, they can feel the increasingly tense and depressing atmosphere in the city.

In this turmoil, how the situation in the city will develop has become the hottest topic of restaurants in the alley recently.

"Have you heard, last night in the Jindu Restaurant in the south of the city, there was a banquet for the nobles and lords. I saw the carriage parked there at the door, and there were nearly a dozen different family coats of arms, large and small. At least two of them are from the Earl family. ”

A bearded man drank the cheapest rice wine, and bragged about his experience to his companions.

There are those who are elated, and naturally there are those who pour cold water.

"Cut~ What is this. What night has there been no gathering of nobles in recent times? Not to mention, didn't the Marquis Franz just hold a grand reception at his mansion the night before? Tut-tut, that scene is shocking! The carriages of the families that went there almost filled the spacious main street. In my estimation, all the families in the city have sent people. ”

A tall, thin man like a bamboo pole is showing that he is more knowledgeable than the bearded man. If it weren't for the fact that he was really unsightly dressed, listening to the detailed description, I am afraid that one would have been mistaken for the honor of attending a party at the Marquis's mansion at that time.

The bearded man who was robbed of the limelight was naturally very dissatisfied, but he didn't have enough inventory in his stomach, so he couldn't refute it, so he could only mutter: "What are all the families, I don't know about the others, but at least the people from the Grand Duke's Mansion have not arrived." ”

The bamboo pole was enjoying the envious and adoring gaze of his companions around him, and he was angry when he heard it.

"You're just raising the bar! Of course, I know that the people from the Grand Duke's Palace were not in attendance, so I need to say more. Who in the city doesn't know that the people of the Grand Duke's Palace have been very low-key lately, and they hardly appear in public. ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess didn't participate either." The other party added.

"You ......" Bamboo pole's face immediately turned into pork liver.

A middle-aged man with a goatee and an elegant appearance answered, "Her Royal Highness the princess is also busy." The assassination incident was investigated for more than half a month, and nothing useful was found, but the Charlton family was completely offended. I heard that Count Lev has united several good families and asked Her Royal Highness for an explanation. ”

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted: "The murderer has their family tattoo on his body, and Her Royal Highness the princess is tolerant enough for not directly punishing them, what else can you say?" ”

Goatee stroked his beard and said slowly: "Having said that, Charlton said that where there is a murderer, he will automatically expose his master, which is obviously a false accusation." And Her Royal Highness the princess's people go to their shops and liquor markets every day to investigate and inquire, which has greatly affected their business. No, now I finally can't bear it anymore and shouts to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"I've heard about that, too." The bearded man finally found the topic to cut to the point, "It's no wonder that Count Lev is in a hurry, they haven't had a good time lately." The two cloth shops in the West District have been given to other families, and it seems that they have suffered heavy losses. ”

"Huh?" A young man who was watching was just listening to the gossip of the nobles and lords with relish, but when he heard this, he suddenly interjected.

"Wouldn't it? How did I see that a large shop on Longevity Street in the East End, which originally belonged to another earl, was replaced with the coat of arms of the Charlton family yesterday? ”

"Boy, you can't be mistaken, right? If Charlton had bought such a large shop, it would not have been possible to be quiet. Anyway, they should beat the gongs and drums to make a declaration, are they still short of this little money. ”

"Maybe I've just taken over, and I'm not ready to stop yet. Maybe wait a while......"

“……”

These small people are confined to a low position and have limited knowledge. Although everyone walked the streets and alleys and saw a lot of things, they could not further summarize and refine useful information.

Not far from their group, several men dressed in ordinary domestic servant clothes but with shrewd faces were already suspicious in their hearts at this moment.

Changshou Street in the East District is the most lively, prosperous and high-end commercial area in the city, no matter what kind of shops they are, all of them are making money every day.

It's not uncommon for the Charlton family to get a big shop here, after all, their strength is there. But now at this difficult juncture, it was taken over from the hands of an earl. The information contained in it is a bit intriguing.

Several servants looked at each other and nodded silently. Quickly recruit the shopkeeper, check out and leave.

This information must be reported to the owner as soon as possible.
