Chapter 56 Winning the Trust
To Kong Ze's surprise, when he said this, he did not make Agnes let her guard down.
Instead, she frowned tightly and stabbed further into Kong Ze's throat with her umbrella.
"Goo...... Not...... Uh......"
The indentation of the tip of the umbrella on his throat became deeper and deeper, but there was no shaking, Kong Ze only felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and he wanted to speak, but he could only make an intonal whining.
How can a lady's wrist exert such power!
Years of experience had taught him that this must be the result of years of training, and having seen the speed and precision with which the tip of the umbrella stabbed when the door opened, he concluded that Mr. Treville's aunt was a very good swordsman—at least one who could easily kill herself.
Therefore, even from the point of view of etiquette, he did not dare to have any more disrespect to this lady.
He stood still obediently, then raised his hand to show that he had no ill will.
"Miss, are you alright?" At this moment, the door of the next room also opened, and a tall and thin man walked out of the room.
He came out when he heard an unusual noise outside the door, so he had a gun in his hand.
And when he saw Kong Ze, his eyes suddenly widened, and his vicious gaze was transmitted to the other party without hesitation.
"It's you again!"
He walked up quickly, and then put his gun against Kong Ze's head.
"You bastard, you can't run now, I'm going to hit your head open!"
Then he looked at Agnes again. "Miss, this is the man who rescued that bastard back then. Otherwise, I would have killed that bastard for you! He must have come here today to thwart us! He's the lackey of that Tréville family! ”
Agnes just continued to look at Kong Ze. There was no joy or anger on his face.
"Please...... Don't get me wrong, I...... I really...... There really is no malice! "At this life-or-death juncture. Even Kong Ze was a little flustered, "At least...... At least let me finish my words! ”
"You have a chance to save your own life." After thinking about it for a moment, she slightly loosened the tip of the umbrella that was on Kong Ze's throat. "Please explain to me what you mean, and let me agree that you have the right to live after committing such a mistake."
Then, she looked behind Kong Ze to make sure no one else was following, and then she retreated back into her room.
"Please come in."
Although her words were full of aristocratic etiquette and tone, the action of the tall and thin man grabbing him by the collar and forcibly dragging him in did not show much kindness.
One was dragged into the room. Kong Ze was forcibly thrown to the ground.
"Please explain to me in detail what the hell is going on." Agnes sat at the head of the bed and looked at Kong Ze impassively, "You can try to lie, but considering the consequences of being exposed, I don't recommend that you do so. ”
Kong Ze, who was lying on the ground, took a few breaths lightly, and finally calmed his mood.
The more times like this, the more you can't show weakness.
"Do you consider it malicious for a person to come to visit without a weapon?" He looked up and looked at Agnes without flinching. "If I'm stupid enough to come up to you without a weapon and murder you, I'm so stupid as to die! In fact, my purpose is simple: to help fulfill your wishes! ”
Agnes and her servant looked at each other. It's hard to understand the status quo.
"You mean to help me kill that man?" After a moment's hesitation, Agnes asked in a low voice.
"Yes. That's it. Kong Ze nodded immediately, and then slowly stood up.
looked at the look of surprise on both sides. He couldn't help but sigh as well, "Okay. I know it sounds unbelievable, but it's true, I've got the whereabouts of that man now, and I'm here today to report it to you. ”
What did not surprise Kong Ze was that when he heard such a confession, Agnes did not show joy at the first time, but frowned slightly, looking very surprised.
"Why? Why? Are you ready to betray your benefactor? ”
"No, I don't have the intention of doing so." Kong Ze shook his head very honestly, "I was ordered to contact you. ”
"On orders?" Agnes' brow furrowed even tighter, then she suddenly picked up the umbrella and stabbed him in the throat again, "Didn't you just say that Charles didn't know?" Are you cheating on me? ”
"No, I'm telling the truth!" At the moment when his life was at stake, Kong Ze hurriedly explained, "I was indeed ordered to come to you, and at the same time, Mr. did not know. Unfortunately, the man who can command me now is not the only one who can command me, but also his wife. ”
"His wife?" Agnes was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "You mean that Miss Trevier?" ”
After all, Agnes had already left France when Charles and Charlotte got married, so although she later learned about Charles' marriage through the newspaper, she hadn't adapted to it yet.
"Yes, Madame assigned me the task." Because the other party finally understood the current state of affairs, Kong Ze was also relieved. "She asks me to cooperate with you and fulfill your wishes."
"Why would she do that?" Agnes still looked a little reserved.
"I don't understand why she did this, but since she has given me orders, I can only choose to carry it out unconditionally in my position, and I can't ask her intentions." Kong Ze tried to hide his dissatisfaction, trying to make his tone as calm as possible, "Even if she gave me a very difficult task. ”
Because she had just learned of such a powerful reality, Agnes lowered her gaze slightly, and fell into a deep groan.
"How can I trust you?" After a moment, she raised her head again and looked at Kong Ze, "All this you told me. There is nothing convincing about it, and I cannot trust your sincerity. Maybe you're trying to mislead me. Delay my time so that the man can escape. Maybe...... You have many worse plans. ”
"If I'm going to deceive you, I'll make my lies sound more believable than outlandish." "But that's the reality—for some reason, Madame Tréville intended to let that Mr. Tréville die. If you don't believe me, then I can't help it. ”
Although she was still silent on the surface, Agnes secretly began to believe in Kong Ze's words in her heart.
The reason is indeed as he said, there is no need for him to make up such a bizarre lie and run to death.
Well, the kid named Charlotte. What is the reason and mentality for making such a decision?
Agnes fell into deep thought.
When she met Charlotte, Charlotte was still a child, and although she already had that tendency to look at no one, she didn't expect it to be so deviant.
Forget it, no matter what, as long as you can achieve the goal now, it is more important than anything else.
"Well, I'll assume you're telling the truth...... So how are you going to help me? After pondering for a long time, Agnes finally spoke again.
"In order to repay you, let me tell you the exact location of that person now." Kong Ze immediately replied.
"Huh?" Agnes, who has always been silent. Now there is a noticeable tremor. "Where...... Where is he?! ”
"He's around here, at Windsor Castle to be exact." Seeing that the plan had finally gone well, Kong Ze's tone couldn't help but become a lot more relaxed, "According to the information provided by Madame Treville. Now he had accompanied the Duchess of Marlborough as a painter, and had accompanied her there. ”
"Is it there......?" Agnes frowned, her fists clenched. The umbrella in his right hand was also trembling slightly, "Hmph." This guy can really run! Is there anything else you can tell me? ”
Because the information given by Kong Ze was similar to what she had learned now, she also dispelled most of her suspicions about Kong Ze.
"You're right. It's really quite a run. Kong Ze nodded, agreeing with Agnes. Now that you know where he is, the next thing you need to think about is how to approach him - you must have been struggling with this, right? After all, it would not be easy to break into such a heavily guarded place, but if he was allowed to get out of there, there would inevitably be a risk that he would take advantage of the opportunity to escape......"
Agnes nodded silently, not shying away from the difficulties she encountered.
"So you must have a way to help me? By the way, I heard that Madame Tréville is now accompanying Her Majesty...... Is there a way for her to let me sneak into Windsor Castle? ”
"No, she didn't, and she doesn't intend to." Kong Ze hurriedly denied it categorically, "Madame said that I don't want to be involved in a murder case, I don't want to have anything to do with it, and I don't want to take any risks, so all this can only happen in a place where there is no sunshine." ”
"And what is she going to do?" Agnes asked coldly.
"She wants you to kill that person while he's slipping away—" Kong Ze deliberately dragged out his voice, "The specific situation still needs to be arranged, and she will contact us." As long as he dies in a place where no one knows, then no one will have to bear any responsibility for it. ”
"Poof...... "Agnes sneered, "this kid is so interesting!" Alright, do as she says and see what she can do. ”
"That's great." Kong Ze hurriedly bowed to Agnes, "I will convey your meaning to Madame." ”
Then, with the peace of mind that he had finally completed the task and the cold sweat that had slowly cooled down on his back, Kong Ze turned around and planned to leave.
However, just as he was about to leave, a snort rang out from behind him, stopping him from moving further.
"Stop!"
"You...... Anything else? Kong Ze turned back and looked at Agnes suspiciously.
"Who told you you you could go?" Agnes had a leisurely smile on her face.
"Huh?" Kong Ze was even more puzzled, "I need to reply to my life, and at the same time collect the latest information from my wife for you." ”
"You can do this without you having to do it yourself, right?" Agnes slowly stood up from the side of the bed, "I don't believe you have a way to get the news from there. You just let someone else do this kind of chores, and you ...... I need you to stay and help me finish my job. During this time, you will need to follow us. ”
"You...... Do you want me to be a hostage? Kong Ze's heart was cold.
"I'm sorry if you have to think so." Agnes tapped the ground lightly with the tip of her umbrella, "Since you volunteered to help me, it makes sense to stay and help me, right?" If you are able to do a good job, then all is well, and I will repay you with respect and gratitude, if in the end it turns out that you are only cheating on me...... Then you know the consequences. ”
"It looks like even in order to prevent you from venting your anger afterwards, I can only do it for you?" Realizing that it was stupid to try to escape, Kong Ze let out a long sigh.
"What do you say?" Agnes replied with a smile. (To be continued......)
