Chapter 179: His Anger
Ou Yan stiffened his face and didn't speak, Xu Jingning took the opportunity to push him out, "Go, go, just wait for that thing to be done, and we can go home." ”
In the evening, Aaron, who had been running around for a long day, returned home with the others, and as soon as he entered the door, he went straight to Yukos's study.
"Grandfather, I found out about the rumors." Aaron stood at his desk, his face still visibly angry.
Yukos looked up at him, "Oh? Did you find it? Why are you going to care about this? ”
"What have the rumors out there slandered you into?! How could I sit idly by! I've been investigating this all day today, and the perpetrators are already in sight. ”
"Who is it?" Yukos felt very relieved to be able to experience Aaron's filial piety, compared to his own son, his own grandson, Aaron is really much better.
"This matter has something to do with Viscount Autrand."
"He? How can it be? "No matter how stupid you are, you won't be stupid enough to go against yourself, right?
Aaron said angrily, "Don't believe it, grandfather, he said this unintentionally!" Based on the scope and direction of the spread of the rumors, I found a bar on South Street. It was there the night before, where he drank and did not leave until dawn, and the rumors first came from the barmaid with whom he had spent the night. ”
Aaron didn't lie about this matter, Ou Yan told him about this early in the morning, and it was just a pretence to investigate around during the day, Aaron had to admire Ou Yan, and he had to sigh at Daisy's luck.
Yukos' face darkened when he heard this, but Aaron had more to say.
"Grandfather, I also learned something else surprisingly unexpected." This matter was also told by Ou Yan, but Ou Yan was just guessing, and he turned the guess into reality.
"Say!" Yukos didn't expect Otron to be so stupid.
Aaron glanced at the butler, who immediately walked out.
"Grandfather, before I say that, I need to call someone up."
After a while, the butler pulled up a maid, who was the first to find out about Aaron and Xu Jingjing that morning, and the same person who saw Fiona infiltrating the Duke.
"Aaron, what's the matter with her?" Yukos knows that this maid is from his own family, is she a traitor?
"This woman is obsessed with money, and she has been bought by Viscount Autrand! That day, she deliberately attracted everyone, making me and Miss Xu ugly, and the matter of Fiona, she was not a witness at all, Fiona had been imprisoned by Count Moss, and she was pushed out to be a scapegoat! ”
Aaron told Yukos everything he knew, and Yukos was furious.
He always thought that although Moss was dissatisfied with him, he still cared about his status and would not confront him, but he didn't expect that Moss was so unafraid of death and connived at his son to do these things.
Yukos stepped forward and kicked the maid who was already trembling with fear, "Say! What's going on! ”
The maid knelt on the ground and sobbed in a low voice, "Mr. Duke, please forgive me, I am also doing what Viscount Autran instructs, I have no intention of harming the little master and Miss Xu." ”
"Didn't I pay you or what's wrong? How dare you do such a thing with someone else! What the hell is the situation! Be honest! "Playing tricks in their own eyes, these people are really tired!
"The Viscount gave me a sum of money, and then asked me to help him do something, the thing is very simple, that is, deliberately found out that the little young master had an affair with Miss Xu, and then attracted everyone. After that, it's time to testify against Fiona. The maid trembled, did not dare to conceal it, and told the whole story, "I have only done these things, and the rest has nothing to do with me!" Spare me, Mr. Duke. ”
Yukos's chest rose and fell violently, "Spare you? Chamberlain! Send her directly to the police station! ”
"Grandfather! You pay attention to your body. Aaron stepped forward, helped Yukos to sit down, and handed him another glass of water, "Now, what are we going to do with the viscounts?" ”
After taking a sip of water and feeling much better, Yukos put down his teacup and said fiercely, "Since he is so selling his title, then I will not let him do it!" ”
He had the evidence of Otrang's guilt in his hands, and he originally planned to ignore it, but now, if this group of people dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head, then he won't blame Tai Sui for being polite!
When he returned to London, Autrand was relaxed, but staying in the Duke's house made him suffocating.
"Dad, when we come back at this time, won't Xu Ningning's marriage with Aaron be completed?" Autran didn't want the two of them to join forces.
Glaring at this uncompetitive son, Moss picked up the newspaper in his hand, and said while flipping through it: "Let you be more attentive, but you won't listen." Xu Ningning and that Ou Yan are now on their way back to the castle, do you think this can still be done? ”
"Daddy, what did you do from this?"
"Do you need me for this? With Ou Yan here, why should I bother! "What a defeat to this stupid son.
Moss was too lazy to bother with Autrand, and concentrated on reading the newspaper in his hand, but the more he looked down, the more ugly his face became, and his hands began to tremble.
"What's wrong with you?" Otrang leaned forward in confusion, but he was already frightened at the sight of the title above.
On the front page of the newspaper, a photograph of him appeared in the headline, and the headline read: The Most Courageous Viscount of the Century.
According to the newspaper, an insider broke the news that Autrand's viscount title was obtained by lying about his political achievements, and it also recorded in detail the extravagant life of Autran during his tenure.
Before the knighthood was conferred, Autran was a minor local official, because of the abundant rainfall in England, some small places often broke out of floods, and Autran's position was in the most severe flood area.
That year, the flood disaster in the place reached an unprecedented level, and many people were trapped in their homes before they could be moved. As a local official, Autrand did not take responsibility for rescuing the trapped people, but fled far away and watched others carry out rescue work.
There was a small government clerk who rescued 56 trapped people before and after, and finally died of exhaustion, sliding into the boiling flood and disappearing. Autron saw an opportunity in this, an opportunity to transfer out of this hellish place.
So he took over the clerk's job and threw himself into the rescue, of course, just for show. Finally, when he reported to his superiors, he found that Autrand had rescued more than 100 people, and the deeds reached the ears of the queen, who greatly appreciated it, and then at the instigation of Count Moss and others, Autrand was awarded the title of viscount.
This thing was done very secretly, and the little clerk had turned into a white bone, why was he still poked out?
Moss crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it on the ground, this time not only the title of Autrand would be lost, but even his own position would be implicated!
"Daddy, this ...... What's going on! Autran was already terrified, and seemed to have foreseen his bleak future.
"Who do I ask if you ask me!" Moss was furious, but it was useless to be angry again.
Every year, the queen and the cabinet confer a limited number of knighthoods, so this matter is the national attention, and now there is this situation of Otterlang, it is not only a simple matter of lying about political achievements, but an act of contempt for the queen and the British constitution!
If this incident is reported in The Times, you can imagine what a bad consequence it will cause. This time, their whole family was in a catastrophe.
The Countess hurried in from outside, "Moss! Something happened! ”
Looking at his wife's pale face, Moss was even more upset, and he slapped it, "Get out of the way!" ”
The countess covered her face, and after being stunned for a few seconds, she finally realized the fact that she had been beaten, and suddenly burst into a rage.
She is also the daughter of a noble family, if she hadn't married herself, how could Moss's earl position be so easy to get!
Autran stepped forward and grabbed his mother, and said impatiently, "It's messed up enough, don't add to it!" ”
Reprimanded by her husband and son one after another, the Countess was so angry that she stomped her feet, "You two! Well done! Deal with your own! I don't care! ”
"Good! Get the hell out of here now! Don't let me see you again! Moss was so enraged that he drove his wife out of the house without mercy.
The Countess couldn't believe that she had been swept away, and immediately banged on her door.
"You bastards! Open the door for me! Ungrateful bastards! The Countess was deceitful, and though she wanted to leave here, it was her own son and husband after all, and how could she dissociate herself from them.
At this moment, a large group of people and horses walked towards the Earl's mansion, and the Countess looked back and was immediately frightened.
"Moss! Fast! The police are coming! Open the door! ”
Hearing his wife's shout, Moss immediately opened the door, and when he saw a group of policemen coming from there, he only said, "It's over." ”
"Hello, Count Moss, is Viscount Autrand at home? Ask him to come with us. It was the chief of the London Metropolitan Police who spoke, and the director personally stepped out, which shows the severity of this matter.
As soon as Otrang in the house saw the police, he had no reason left, only the thought of escaping, he couldn't go to prison, everything was over if he went to prison, his good life would be swallowed up by the dark prison!
Quickly rolling up some valuable items, Autran climbed over the backyard wall and fled without a trace.
Moss was still cooperating with the police, he knew that it was useless to resist now, it would only make things worse, so he respectfully welcomed the police in, "Everyone, please." ”
