As it turned out, Dylan was right, as one of the bartenders in the tavern took advantage of the chaos and sneaked out the back door to report to the Harvey family.

It wasn't long before the patriarch of the Harvey family, the father of the fat Donald, arrived at his tavern with a large group of men.

The door was opened, and a middle-aged man with the same fat body walked in, and he walked up to the guards with a smile on his face, and said, "Sir, what has happened to our bartender, and you want to arrest him?"

The guard at the head said, "Yo, it's Master Peter Harvey. I'm telling you, there's just a murder in your tavern, and we suspect something wrong with your drink, and we're about to take him back for interrogation!"

The smile on Peter's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Is there a problem with the drinks? Then you have to make it clear today, since last week, the drinks in our tavern have changed suppliers, and now the wines in our tavern are all purchased from Quincy Winery outside the city." I think the name of Quincy Winery, I think the chief must have heard of it, right?"

A trace of astonishment flashed in the guard's eyes, obviously not expecting that such a matter would actually involve Quincy Winery.

Quincy Winery is one of the top ten nobles in the imperial capital, the property of the Quincy family, the old man of the Quincy family, is a marquis, and his status is extraordinary. Even if it is a banquet held by the imperial court, the old man of the Quincy family can occupy a seat.

If this matter offended the Quincy family, an extremely powerful person, it would be very bad. But if you can't do this thing today, then how can you go back and report to your superiors?

Seeing that the guard was obviously weighing the pros and cons, Peter Harvey smiled and continued, "Why don't I send someone to ask the head of the Quincy family to come over and explain it to you in person?"

As soon as he heard this, the guard's face changed suddenly, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, Master Harvey, I think you misunderstood, we didn't mean that." Today's events may be a misunderstanding, so let's leave. ”

After saying that, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to leave together, and before leaving, he did not forget to drag the poor unjust ghost away. The dead had obviously been manipulated beforehand, and if the body was left here and Peter Harvey noticed the clues, it would not end well.

The smile on Peter Harvey's face quickly disappeared as he saw a dozen guards rushing out, and he frowned, as if he was very worried.

Donald then said to the drinkers in the tavern who had not left in time, "Today's incident is a misunderstanding, and I hope you will forgive me." As an apology, all the expenses spent in the store today are free!"

The drinkers have dispersed, the tavern is already in chaos, and there is really no interest in continuing to drink here today.

Donald saw that his father had finally arrived, and said with a little crying, "Father, you are finally here." If you don't come back, our tavern will be doomed!"

Peter looked at his precious son with some doting, and after a few words of comfort, he looked at Dylan on the side.

"I heard from the bartender who sent me the message that you helped delay the time, thank you so much. Peter smiled sincerely.

Dylan replied with a smile: "Lord Harvey is too polite, but I don't know, what the hell is going on? ”

Peter smiled bitterly: "You are indeed very smart, there is no way, recently there is a nobleman in the imperial capital who has been trying to annex my estate. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. ”

At this, Peter couldn't help but sigh, and then said to his son, "Donald, you haven't introduced me to these two friends of yours yet. ”

When Donald heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "This is Dylan Green, the apprentice of the expert forger Rick Spirits, and this is Stephen Winchester, an earth magician, and an extremely powerful alchemist. ”

There was a clear glint in Donald's eyes.

Rick Spirits?That's really a big man in the imperial capital, and many nobles and celebrities want to befriend him, but Rick's temper is really weird, and in their opinion, he is an absolute powder keg, so after many nobles have eaten the closed door, few people dare to visit Rick.

It's great that his son was able to get acquainted with Rick's apprentice!

As for the other child, he is actually an alchemist, which is indeed very powerful.

Seeing that his son could meet such two extraordinary friends, Peter was naturally very happy.

Dylan's mind was still on the murder just now, and it had to be said that he had unconsciously regarded Donald and Stephen as his good brothers. Therefore, when the brother's family suffered a catastrophe, Dylan was also very anxious.

"Master Harvey, do you know who is trying to frame your family?" asked Dylan.

Peter said, "You don't have to be so polite, if you don't dislike it, you can call me uncle." As for the nobles who want to frame us, I probably know it in my heart, and it is none other than Crawford Hansen. ”

It turned out that this Crawford Hansen was a viscount, and he had good connections in the imperial capital, and he also maintained good contacts with several marquises.

It's just that in recent years, the Harvey family's industry has become bigger and bigger, its influence has become more and more extensive, and the money it has made naturally more and more money, which has made Crawford Hansen greedy.

At first, Crawford only made an appointment with Peter, saying that he wanted to negotiate business with him, and when Peter heard that there was business to do, he, as a businessman, naturally gladly went.

But no one expected that Crawford was not sincere in doing business with the Harvey family at all, but wanted to buy some of their properties at a low price and take them for himself.

When Peter heard this, he naturally politely rejected the acquisition plan. How could a merchant trade at a loss? His own property would bring him great wealth every day, and the long-term benefits in the future would naturally be even more immeasurable, and Peter was not a fool to agree to such a request.

However, after all, the other party was a viscount with a prominent status, and Peter couldn't refuse and turned around and left rudely, so at that time, Peter made an excuse, saying that there was still a batch of goods that he needed to go to see, so he left the viscount's mansion.

Later, Crawford Hansen sent several invitations to Peter to the party, but Peter made excuses to refuse. This, of course, angered Crawford, and he began to trouble Harvey's family business one after another.

After listening to Peter's description, Dylan couldn't help frowning, these greedy aristocrats are really selfish and arrogant, and they want to forcibly occupy other people's hard-earned property.

Dylan groaned slightly and said, "Then can Uncle Peter get evidence that the other party framed you?"

Peter shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid this is difficult." ”

Dylan thought for a while and then said, "I have a way!"

As soon as these words came out, Harvey and Stephen couldn't help but look at Dylan in unison.
