The air was unusually quiet, and the oppressive atmosphere gave the illusion that time had been stretched, and Earl Mead had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Finally, Count Mead couldn't stand this suppressed feeling, and said in a deep voice pretending to be calm: "Hello, Lord Eugen, may I ask you for the matter of coming to me?" I'll go first if it's okay, I still have some work to do there. ”

Count Mead's words were like a stone falling into the surface of a calm lake, disturbing the peaceful atmosphere of the place.

Eugen opened his eyes and glanced at Count Mead, as if he had just discovered the arrival of Earl Mead, and said with a normal expression: "Oh, it's Earl Meade here, may I ask this gentleman who came with you, who is he?" ”

Eugen didn't answer Count Mead's words, but looked at Owen Rose behind him and asked a question that was not related to the matter.

Owen Rose couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart when he saw Eugen's series of performances, thinking that this Eugen was also a little clever, but he was still completely sure.

Seeing Eugen mention himself at this moment, he didn't wait for Earl Mead's introduction, he took a step forward and said, "I'm a merchant, my name is Owen Rose, and I'm ......"

"Oh, that's right, okay, I see." Before Owen Rose could finish speaking, Eugen interrupted him abruptly, with an expression of nonchalance on his face.

Owen Rose originally wanted to mention his relationship with several dukes and bishops to strengthen his momentum, but he was interrupted in the middle of his words, and suddenly held his breath in his stomach, and his face was flushed.

"Hmph." With a soft snort to express his displeasure, Owen Rose closed his mouth and stopped talking, thinking that he would want you to look good later.

Seeing that Eugen didn't mention the topic, Count Mead took the initiative to say, "Lord Eugen, what is the matter with you calling me here?" It can't just be for me to say hello to you. ”

Hearing this, Eugen narrowed his eyes, chuckled and said, "Well, I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to call you over to catch up on the old days, you don't have to be nervous." ”

Nervous? Earl Mead thought to himself, what are you nervous about, you don't even mention the matter of food, what can I be nervous about.

Although he said so in his heart, in fact he was indeed a little flustered by Eugen's reaction, and after thinking about it, Count Mead decided to take the initiative.

"Hmm...... Here, Count Eugen, I have something to report to you, which is about the recent increase in the price of grain. Earl Mead said hesitantly, with a bitter expression on his face, as if he had been wronged.

Unexpectedly, Eugen waved his hand and said, "Oh, that thing, you don't have to say it, I already know?" ”

"Got it?" Count Meade was surprised in his heart and couldn't help but exclaim. He looked at Eugen suspiciously, and asked, "Big... What do you know, my lord? ”

Earl Mead was really a little flustered, and he had prepared a lot of reasons there, such as what kind of disaster caused the price of food to rise, and something similar to the market to raise prices, etc. Anyway, his grain was bought from Owen Rose, Owen Roth is a businessman, and the price is not up to him, and the two of them can make a huge profit difference if they collude so much inside and outside.

But now Eugen knows a word, but it has disrupted the rhythm of Earl Mead and Owen Rose, and their previous arrangements have all been ineffective, and even the prepared rhetoric is useless.

Owen Rose also felt a little uncomfortable, so he took a step forward and said with a confused expression: "My lord? What do you mean by that you know? ”

Because of his eagerness, he forgot his identity and status, and was not qualified to speak without Eugen's permission.

Eugen didn't care about his offense, but looked at Owen Rose patiently, and said with a smile: "Mr. Dirmit, then please explain to these two gentlemen, what do I know?" ”

Intelligence officer Spider Dirmit, when he stands by and does not move, he is like a silent and silent sculpture, and once he speaks, others will have a visceral fear of him, that is, all his secrets have been seen through, a sense of fear that there is nothing to hide.

After receiving Eugen's order, Dirmit raised his head and glanced at the two of them, then looked ahead and said calmly:

"On the 7th of September, Mr. Owen Rose approached Count Mead, and the two sides discussed with the private mansion of Cosenza for a day a conspiracy to frame Count Eugen."

"On the 8th of September, Mr. Owen Rose was found by Earl Mead and the local inn, and the two sides finalized the plan and began to execute it."

"On the thirteenth of September, in the name of buying food, Earl Mead transferred a large amount of military funds to Mr. Owen Rose's local trading house in Cosenza, with a total amount of 100,000 kild coins."

"On September 15, Mr. Owen Rose delivered grain to the warehouse, totaling 200,000 bags of flour. Although the price of flour has risen in recent days, the price of flour in this transaction still exceeded the actual price by more than 10 times. ”

After saying this, Dirmit took a step back and stood silently beside him.

Every time Dirmit said a word, Count Meade's face turned ugly, and by the end of the day, his face was already blue. He had long heard of Spider Dirmit's intelligence ability, but he didn't expect it to be so unbelievable, as if there was no secret in his eyes.

But what Dirmit said was still damn right, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, which was really incredible.

Owen Rose was already oozing fine beads of sweat on his forehead, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it on his face, and then said calmly: "Ahem, I don't understand, what do you mean by this, my lord." ”

Hearing this, Eugen had a playful smile on his face, lightly knocked the table with his left hand, and said softly: "Oh? What does Mr. Owen Ross mean by not admitting it? ”

Owen Rose forced himself to compose, squeezed out a smile on his face that was uglier than crying, and asked, "Admit what?" Do you want to slander me, my lord? ”

Eugen was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, he just clapped his hands, and two groups of people walked in through the door, some of them were dressed in the clothes of ordinary townspeople, some were dressed in the clothes of grooms, and some were dressed in the clothes of servants.

Earl Mead and Owen Rose looked back, the expressions on their faces were suddenly panicked to the extreme, the faces of these people were actually very familiar to them, in fact, they were the people who looked down on him these days, there were the owners of Owen Rose's inn, the groom who drove Count Mead, and even the servants who had been with him for several years!
