Chapter 202 Pressure 4
Karn was stunned and didn't react for a moment, what was the situation? The West Gate was occupied by a group of guards? Where did the guards come from around here?
Karn's brain was running rapidly, the news was too shocking, the servant stood there for a long time, but he didn't expect the second butler to have not moved, and he didn't know whether to leave or stay, then Karn finally spoke: "Does the chief butler know?"
"I should already know that an hour ago a sergeant had entered the courtyard of the Grand Butler. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info," said the servant, standing there with his hands down, cautiously.
Karn's brow jumped, and his face darkened, "Why don't you report it right away!" The voice was not loud, but the majesty had penetrated.
The servant was trembling slightly, it was not the first time he had seen this, and the quieter the voice, the more unstable Karn's mood became, and for a moment he did not know how to reply, and he stammered, "At that time...... When you're ...... Receiving the Imperial Capital...... Baron Jonas, who came, came after Lord Baron left, and Baron John came, and I didn't have time to report. ”
"Then why are you bothering my conversation with Baron John now?" Karn looked at the servant, who was in a state of disarray, could this be the same? The sergeant went to the chief steward who knows what it was, and who would have wondered what the sergeant was doing if the West Gate was not occupied now!
"Rubbish!" Seeing that the servant did not speak, Karn reprimanded, "Go out and get Baron Jonas back!"
"Yes! Yes!" the servant hurried out, it was too dangerous to stay here, and he would be swept away by the tail of the typhoon at any moment.
Baron John leaned over and asked softly, "Second butler, do you think of my ......business?"
"You go out too! Your son should have gone to jail and squatted a long time ago, so let him squat! Don't bother me now!" said Baron John, looking at his fat face.
Baron John came out of Karn's office, looked at the door behind him resentfully, and cursed softly, "Karn, you must not die well!" he walked angrily towards the gate of the city lord's mansion, and when he passed the central square, he stopped, he only had to go to the fork in the road on the right, where was the head of the Grand Butler, maybe it was not too late to go to the Grand Butler, the only guards in this vicinity were the troops of Count Petrovich, the lord of the city of Ka.
Karn tried his best to conceal that the Lord of Card City had been found, but he couldn't hide it, and he could assume the identity of a baron, although the title was a bit unauthentic. Baron John's feet unconsciously stepped on the fork in the road to the dean of the great butler, but immediately stopped, his title is not authentic, the chief butler will not know, and the city lord is from the noble management office, his identity can not stand the check, one check is accurate, if it is found out, now this glory will leave him!
Baron John hesitated for a long time on this fork in the road, and finally did not set foot on the path leading to the courtyard of the Grand Butler, in his opinion, Karn did not necessarily lose in this battle, the Grand Butler had actually been hollowed out, Karn often gave orders outside under the banner of the Grand Butler, if the Grand Butler knew, those decrees could not be implemented so smoothly, so Karn still had a chance to win, and Baron John cheered himself up in his heart.
As for his son, it seems that he can only make him suffer a little more, but it is better to suffer, so that he can be more sober, and not to cause trouble for himself all day long, and it seems that he should prepare a great gift, and go to the earl's door, as for where the earl lives? You can ask Fei Wude, although the fellow has always been at odds with himself.
The departure of Baron John did not ease Karn's irritation, he could not understand how these guards could appear so close without him noticing, especially when these soldiers entered the city, and he realized that it was obviously unthinkable to be the first person in the Petrovich family to be the first person in the face.
Karn anxiously waited for Baron Jonas to arrive, Baron Jonas was sitting in his not luxurious carriage and had just driven out of the north gate of Carta, as the Marquis Linton's personal attendant, his assessment of the situation was relatively accurate, in the two months of life in Carton, he could feel all kinds of constraints from the big butler, many times, the information he got was very different from the actual situation, and Karn was still complacent about the superficial support, Jonas felt sorry for the unsupportable Karn.
When he heard for the first time that the west gate of Kacheng had been occupied by the guards, he immediately understood that this Kacheng was not controlled by Karn at all, Kacheng has always been in the hands of the big butler, everything in Karn has not escaped the control of the big butler, it is very likely that on the first day he arrived in Kacheng, the big butler already knew what he wanted to do, but at that time everything did not exceed the bottom line between the nobles.
But now, the real owner of the card city is back, and he continues to stay here, it is too conspicuous, after all, his master has given this card city master a lot of stumbling blocks in the imperial capital, even if he keeps to himself after that, and at the same time he can't say what this card city master will do to him, so his best choice is to go, so as soon as the news came, he immediately prepared a car and left.
After Karn received the news that Baron Jonas had left Card City, he immediately felt like a bucket of ice water poured from head to toe in the cold winter moon, the weather at the end of August still made people sweat profusely, but now, Karn did not sweat a drop of sweat all over his body, and was even trembling violently.
After a long time, he calmed down, sat down in his office chair weakly, and said to the servant, "Go and get the commander of the garrison, and I will discuss with him what to do with this matter next." He didn't expect that Count Petrovich would not know what he was doing, he still had to struggle, and the other side did not have many troops controlling the Western Gate, only about twenty people.
The first group of people who went to inquire about the news were detained, which did not make Karn give up, and the second group of people sent out reported that the other party only had about twenty people under the city, and in the cave of the city wall were the soldiers who were originally defending the city, but those soldiers seemed to have been disarmed, it seems that those people did not trust these city defenders, and it seems that those soldiers did not betray the city of Kacheng, otherwise they should have taken on the task of defending the city with these guards, instead of being locked up.
It seemed that he could still give it a try, Karn sat behind the table, nodded his head and combed through everything for the day, until the servant who had gone out to find someone returned, but the servant did not bring good news, and the commander of the garrison did not listen to the order and did not come today.
"The second butler, the commander of the garrison, said that now all the troops in Kacheng are in a state of combat readiness, and he cannot leave his post without a military order signed by the chief steward himself. The servant cautiously replied to Karn.
"What?" Karn stood up suddenly, and immediately sat down slowly, he already understood that he had never really controlled Kacheng, everything was under the control of the Grand Butler, but he didn't understand why the Grand Butler had been so permissive to him before, it didn't make sense.
It took him a long time before he came to his senses, and the events of the day today were completely beyond his capacity, and he turned to the servant and said, "You go and inform Madame, clean up, I am going to take her out for a vacation." ”
The servant looked at the second butler in surprise, is this going to run? Karn was not surprised by the servant's surprised look, and he continued: "Tell Madame to bring more money, and bring all the money you can, and Wellington with you." ”
The servant was even more surprised, Wellington was a distant relative of Karn, and the two were not usually close, so he didn't know why Karn had taken Wellington with him, but this was not something he could manage as a servant, he just had to obey orders.
Before going to Madame Karn, the servant dutifully asked, "Master, what about Young Master Shabi?"
Karn seemed to remember that he had a son, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand to the servant, "I will find someone to inform the young master, and you can inform the lady." The servant nodded and walked out.
But when the servant passed the fork in the road that Baron John hesitated about, he did not hesitate to take the fork in the road to the right, and after a few minutes he turned back and went to Karn's house.
When Karn was distressed, there was another person who was also distressed, but his distress was different from Karn's, he was dying on the western wall, Petrovich, he needed a map of the entire Ka City, this Artyom could not give him, and what the big bosses in the city thought, he also did not know, he believed that several powerful people in the city must be watching how he would make a move.
He has occupied this place for more than an hour, and the military force of Kacheng has not reacted at all, how can it be said that there are still five hundred garrisons in this Kacheng, if they play with themselves, as long as a few charges, not at most three charges, he has to withdraw from the West Gate, but until now no one has come here, except for the spies they have just occupied here, several big families sent over, and now these are hiding in the cave and are being guarded by the original soldiers guarding the city.
At this time, it was already dark, there were a few bright lights in the city, there were a few big households, for the common people, they occupied the west gate and did not attract the attention of the common people, for the common people, it was just a few soldiers to guard the city gate, so the common people after dark, or normal according to their usual habits, for the common people, dark and going to bed are agreed words.
The person sent by Yu Wuming to find the nobles' administration had not yet returned, and he really wanted to solve this city as soon as possible, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and now, he felt that this Karn had either really arrived at home, or he was still holding back some big move to come at him.
Soon, the people from the management office came to him, saluted him, and said, "Lord Earl, I am the director of the management office in Kacheng, Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman!"
Yu Wuming nodded and said, "Tell me about the situation in the city!"
"Everything is normal in the city, everything is under the control of the Grand Butler, Karn has become a turtle in an urn!" exclaimed Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman.
"Oh?" this situation was something that Yu Wuming didn't expect.
Before what he didn't expect was over, a soldier walked up to the wall and said to him: "Report to the division commander, there is a half-grown son from the city, and he says that his name is Wellington, and he is Karn's second son, and he wants to see you!"
