"If I'm right, the moment Olivia was taken away, Governor Taylor knew about it through his own intelligence network, and knew why von Bock did it. If we go and beg him to release him now, he will definitely think that I am robbing Winnie with von Bock, and for the reasons we analyzed above, he really won't necessarily be towards us. Although I am also one of the objects he wants to support, I have potential at most now, while von Bock has strength, and strength is more important than potential at all times. ”

After listening to Clifford's analysis, Sophia's mood was also a little heavy, there were too few wins, and she wrinkled and said, "Master, then what should we do?" Miss Winnie begged you for the first time, she must have regarded you as a great savior, if you can't save Olivia, she will have to go with von Bock. I can see that she actually wants to go with you, so wouldn't she be sad? ”

Is it not only that she will be sad, but brother will also be sad? Brother just fell in love with Winnie's little girl, what happened to Von Bock? Even if Taylor went out in person, he didn't want to snatch her out of his brother's hands.

Clifford rode on his horse, while galloping towards Chaoenjun, while thinking carefully about countermeasures, he also thought that it was not easy to win directly to Taylor, but he could not bypass Taylor, that would be too disrespectful, and there would be absolutely no good fruit to eat in the future, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, turned his head to Sophia, and said, "I have a way." Sophia, after entering the city this time, I will go to Taylor myself, and you can do something for me. ”

After that, he quietly told Sophia what she was going to do.

Sophia's eyes lit up after hearing this, the corners of her mouth hooked a smug arc, and she smiled: "Don't worry, master." This is the slave's specialty, and it will definitely not disappoint the master. ”

After breaking up with Sophia, Clifford went straight to Taylor's Governor's Mansion to ask to see him, the old fox teacher. Taylor had just finished breakfast, and when he heard that Clifford was in a hurry to see him, he thought for a moment, guessed his intentions, and said to the servant who was waiting, "Let him in." ”

"Yes, sir." The servant bowed to Taylor, and then turned and went out to ask for Cliffor.

The Prime Minister's protégé, the Seventh Rank Officer, as the confidant of the largest official in the three northern counties, this old servant was also considered a man of the year in the local area, and Cliffor's had to be carefully served, and after greeting him for a while, he followed him to meet Governor Taylor.

After meeting, the necessary etiquette is indispensable, and Clifford is willing to ask others to do things this time, so the etiquette is extraordinarily thoughtful, and he first bowed to Taylor, and said: "Teacher, the student is coming to disturb you again, please don't be surprised." ”

Taylor smiled slightly, and there was no need to beat around the bush with this student, and said, "Clifford, you have nothing to do but ascend the Three Treasures Palace, what happened this time?" Go ahead. ”

"Teacher, where are you talking about this?" Clifford smiled faintly and said with a little embarrassment: "Students usually come to visit the teacher, but they don't dare to come more for fear of disturbing the teacher." This time, the student really didn't come for his own business, the student has a neighbor, that is, our patrol chief of Chaoen City, he wrote a letter to the DuPont bandits on my order before, with an ambiguous attitude, originally wanted to paralyze Dupont, but he didn't expect to be caught by the head of von Bock. If you have to say that he is secretly connected with bandits, please also ask the teacher to investigate. ”

The corners of Taylor's mouth hooked up an imperceptible arc, and he said secretly: It's really for this matter, what kind of person is that little girl, who can make the two of you like this. Holding a jade artifact in his hand, he said quietly: "Ke Lifu, do you think that I, the governor of the three northern counties, am quite idle?" ”

Hearing this, Collie "chuckled" in his heart, which meant that there was basically no play, but he still wanted to fight, and said: "Teacher, you have a lot of opportunities, of course you will not be idle, if there is no important matter, the students will not dare to disturb you." But this Olivia is the student's informant, he is now wronged, but the student doesn't care, who will do things for the student in the future? Please also ask the teacher to be clear. ”

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Governor Taylor's mouth, and he said, "It's not up to you to decide whether he is guilty or not." I think that Von Bock has just been promoted to the head of the regiment, and he will definitely not arrest him for no reason, in case he makes an unjust, false and wrongful case and ruins his own reputation, then he will lose more than he gains. You say he's your informant, then you go to von Bock to make it clear, what are you doing with Governor Ben? Will this Governor be able to prove that what you say is true or false? ”

This is an obvious scoundrel, Cliffor's judgment is not wrong, Governor Taylor is trying to favor von Bock this time, if as expected, he has begun to cultivate von Bock as a descendant of the armed forces, in this kind of for women, he must protect von Bock, a powerful faction.

Strength, strength. Clifford once again felt the importance of strength, and if he considered himself to be no less than von Bock in terms of his contribution to Governor Taylor, but what was the use? Whether others value you or not depends on your strength in the end, because people are realistic.

Clifford didn't speak, and it was useless to say anything now, but he just laughed in vain, bowed to Taylor, and withdrew respectfully.

Taylor didn't send him like before, probably complaining that he was making trouble for himself, but kept playing with the jade in his hand and letting him come and go.

The soft one can't only come to the hard one, Clifford knows that von Bock is a complete hooligan, and to deal with this kind of person, benevolence, morality, laws and regulations are useless, and the only way is to become even more hooligan than him, and to deal with hooligans, you must use hooligan methods.

When he returned home, Winnie was already waiting for him there, and when she saw Clifford returning, she hurriedly ran over, knelt on the ground, and cried, "Earl, how is the matter?" Can my father be saved? ”

The appearance of a little beauty crying into pear blossoms with rain is really pitiful.

Collie was now preoccupied and felt that things were very difficult, but in order to comfort her, he still smiled and helped her up, and said, "Don't worry, I already have a way." It's just a matter of a few more days. Rest assured, father, I've informed von Bock. Since he covets your beauty, he will definitely not treat your father like this, otherwise everyone will not look good when they meet. ”

After hearing Clifford say that von Bock coveted his beauty, Winnie's little face couldn't help but turn red, she lowered her head, and said in a barely audible voice: "I don't like him, I hate him." Lord Earl, I really don't want to be with someone like that, and I feel bad just thinking about it. Please help me, as long as you can help our family through this difficult time, I am willing to repay you with everything I have. After that, he cried again.

Rub, is this the rhythm of the body? Looking at Winnie's cute face and her graceful figure, Coolford's heart couldn't help but move, but he was a good young man in the 21st century who had received higher education, and he really couldn't bear to do such a dangerous thing, and said, "Winnie, don't worry. I'm friends with your father and you, and your business is my business, and I'll take care of it to the end, and I won't let them succeed. It's just that I still need to do some preparations, so please feel free to wait for a while. ”

He said this not entirely to comfort Winnie, but also a true portrayal of his own heart now, he was originally a donkey-tempered man, holding him back, and if they let Olivia go, then forget it.

However, now they have joined forces to make things difficult for themselves, if they don't give them a little color, everyone will think that they are muddy, so in the future, how will they gain a foothold in the three counties of the north?

Seeing the sincerity of what Clifford had said, and knowing that he was doing it for himself, Winnie stopped crying and said with some embarrassment, "Excuse me, Lord Earl. ”

"Don't say that about Winnie, unless you don't treat me as a friend." Clifford patted her tender little shoulder and said, "You go back to the house and rest first, I think it won't be long before there will be good news." Don't be in too much of a hurry. ”

After sending Winnie away, Clifford lay alone on the chaise longue in the room, worried, although he had a way to cure von Bock, but he was not 100% sure, and then it depended on Sophia's professionalism.

"Master, you can drink some soup. These two days of running around day and night are really tiring. The maid Liana couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Clifford's dusty appearance, stewed him a pot of soup, brought a bowl and said.

Clifford didn't speak, just nodded faintly, he was indeed too tired and needed to rest. Liana brought the soup over, blew it gently with her small mouth, and fed it to him one bite at a time.

When Clifford finished drinking, she consciously stood behind Clifford and massaged him, Liana was skillful in law enforcement, and Clifford was comfortable all over her body, and it didn't take long for Clifford to fall asleep.

A few days later, Sophia hurried over, and as soon as she saw Clifford, she happily reported: "Master, the thing has been obtained, and it is about Merr, the right-hand man of von Bock." I also heard the news that Melburn will be coming to Chaoen City today to report on von Bock. ”

Collie was eating, and when he heard this, he jumped up with joy and said, "Great, Sophia, you have worked hard. Hurry up and sit down to eat. Immediately, he called Yasan over and said, "Uncle Yasan, I am going to invite Melbour to the Hilton Hotel for dinner in the evening, and I hope you will help me make an appointment with him." ”

"Okay, master. I'll do it for you. Ahsan bowed to Clifford and turned to leave.

In the evening, Clifford dressed up and came early to wait for Mel in the private room that Ahsan had set.

After a while, Melmer came in stride, he had met Clifford, and he admired this earl who was famous in the three counties of the north at a young age, and intended to make friends with him, which was very helpful to his career.

After seeing Mel coming, Clifford stood up to greet him and said very enthusiastically: "Mr. Melfour, no, I should call you Camp Commander Melmer now." It's been a long time, but you're better than ever. ”

"Hahahaha." Like von Bock, Moore was born as a bandit, and his words and actions were naturally informal, and when people were still outside the door, laughter came in, and he said very respectfully: "Lord Earl, thank you for inviting me to dinner." You are the person I admire the most, and it is my honor to have dinner with you. ”

"Huh." Collifer smiled faintly, ushered Merr in, pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "Mr. Melbert, please take a seat." There is no one else today, so you must not be polite. ”

"Yes, yes." Melmer obviously felt that it was a matter of light on his face to be able to have a meal with Clifford, so he quickly sat down, nodded and said, "Since Lord Earl said so, then please forgive the official for being rude." ”

"Hey." Coleford waved his big hand nonchalantly and said, "Why do you say so much?" Serve! ”

He still has Sophia behind him, this is already his habit, no one will find it weird, and Mel certainly would not have thought that he would face a catastrophe today.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Mel drank staggeringly, and he felt that his status was much lower than that of Clifford, so he drank very hard, and it didn't take long for him to pour several glasses of brandy, apparently to the fullest.

Collie looked at his real appearance, and he really couldn't bear to attack him, but the turning point of this matter was on your brother, how could my brother let it go, let go of my brother's Winnie and become someone else's, when he was drinking, he suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Moore, are you guilty?!" ”

Mer was stunned all of a sudden, a piece of meat was just about to be put in his mouth, his mouth was open, he was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his mouth was open, and he looked at Clifford stupidly, there was surprise in his eyes, and there was also a hint of banter - he thought Clifford was joking with him.

"Someone! Take him down! Clifford snapped, smashed the cup, and said majestically and angrily.

The next moment, a few good players who were always ready in the next room swarmed in, and instantly surrounded Moore. Merr was not easy to get along with, and cursed in his mouth, dropped the cup, stood up, and was about to resist.

Clifford knew Melborough's ability, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, and in order to avoid making things too bad, the two sides couldn't wipe off their feelings, sat on the chair, and said coldly: "Mel, do you want to learn from DuPont?" With that, he looked at Sophia behind him, intentionally or unintentionally.

Sophia also knew about Sophia's killing of Dupont, and he was at the scene at the time, he thought that his martial arts were not as good as Dupont, DuPont was killed by this beauty, if he came hard, I was afraid that he would not be able to please the good fruit to eat, and weighed it, and said in his heart, I am also the head of Von Bock, and I don't dare to do anything to you, so I no longer resisted, sat down quietly, sneered, and said: "Count Clifford, I don't know what crime I have committed?" "The eyes are very arrogant, which means that if you don't tell me why, I will definitely not give up with you about this matter!
