Chapter 70: Voyeurism and Quarrels

In the silence of the street, in some dark corner, there was a man who had been carefully observing the entrance of a certain mansion.

He knew that the family was hosting a dinner party today, and the carriages were arriving on time.

The carriage may be simple or ornate, but there is no doubt that the people inside are important people - since they are qualified to attend the dinner.

"It's the seventh." He muttered silently in his mind, carefully avoiding the servant's wary gaze.

After a long time, and no new guests arrived, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and it seemed that everyone had arrived.

His task is to find out who these people really are and what they are going to do.

This has a lot to do with his future, and will even determine his future.

He carried out the spirit of the instructions given to him by the Prime Minister, did not mention a word about this task to his superiors, and did not even dare to fully explain it to his own subordinates, so he had to go into battle himself.

With the help of the cover of the plane tree, he slowly approached the mansion, but he could not get any closer, and if he got closer, it would be easy to be discovered, maybe Mr. Prime Minister could afford the price, but he could not afford it.

He gritted his teeth, then gently climbed up the tree.

His movements were so light that almost no one could hear any movement, and he completely lived up to the training given to him by his previous ten years of grassroots career.

Then he pulled a small telescope out of his bosom and looked into the wall. And now the doors and windows of the mansion are closed, and he can't see anything.

But that's okay, he's not lacking in patience.

Time passed by minute by second, and finally, the door opened, and the guests greeted their hosts one by one and took their leave. Kong Ze's eyes widened, lest he miss any information.

The guests walked through the aisle in front of the mansion to the stables, intending to leave in the carriage, unaware that a pair of hidden eyes were watching them.

Kong Ze tried his best to identify these faces, some of which he knew, some of which he had never seen at all, but he remembered them one by one in his heart, which was a powerful ability that had been trained for him by years of work. When he returned home, he would draw all these faces with a pen and ink, and then go to identify people one by one. However, due to the dim light and the distance, even with the help of moonlight, he couldn't see too real, so he could only try to identify it.

No, it's too dark!

He was a little annoyed, and there was a sudden urge in his heart to get closer, but reason quickly suppressed the thought.

It doesn't matter, there are many opportunities in the future, this is just the beginning, and impulsiveness will kill everything.

At this moment, he saw a strange scene, which surprised him so much that he almost forgot the anxiety in his heart.

It wasn't that there were any demons there, it wasn't what happened, it was that he saw two people.

It was not a strange sight for a man and a woman, two young men, the woman holding the man's right hand and walking side by side towards the stables, which was not at all unusual on other occasions, but it was strange tonight.

Who are they? Can weishenme come here?

Kong Ze thought about it, but he couldn't find any impression about the two people in his mind, and he quickly focused his eyes on these two people.

These two young men, the handsome and handsome men, were dressed ordinarily; And the woman is beautiful and moving, and the clothes are luxurious, and this pair is almost as if they have just stepped off the stage. Moreover, they seemed very close, glued together all the time, and kept talking softly in their mouths.

Maybe they're a couple?

But I don't know Weishenme, the sense of smell cultivated by years of work experience makes Kong Ze intuitively feel from the young man's expression and movements that there is a sense of alienation between the two, and even the seemingly simple smile of the young lady has a complex meaning.

Either way, it's too strange for this pair to be here.

Soon, the two young men got into a carriage and left with the other guests.

Kong Ze's gaze followed the carriage until it disappeared from the fork in the street. Kong Ze just stayed quietly in the leafy branches and watched the guests leave, and it was impossible for him to track them down with great fanfare.

But it doesn't matter, he will have time and opportunity in the future to get to know these new faces today. He is convinced of this.

Although the Prime Minister gave him an untruthful explanation, with Kong Ze's intelligence, he fully understood what was happening and what was happening - the number one and number two people in the government today are fighting desperately, and he himself is a pawn on one of the sides.

He remained where he was, and did not gently descend from the branches until all the lights of the mansion in front of him had gone out and the people had fallen asleep.

Today's mission is complete, and he needs to go back now and regurgitate the information he just got.

=======================================

The two sisters and brothers, who returned to the carriage, sat quietly on the cushions, and were speechless for a while.

It was late at night, the streets were silent, and the carriages were roaming back and forth with the horses' hooves and the streets in unison.

Charlotte was still holding her brother's hand, her eyes slightly closed as if she was thinking about something, and she seemed to be just closing her eyes and resting. Charles, on the other hand, didn't want to disturb her rest, so he just looked up at the moonlight outside the car window and didn't move.

"Charles," Charlotte finally spoke, after a long while, "we seem to be doing well today?" ”

"It went a little bit better than expected." The younger brother replied in a whisper. "It seems that there is hope that the goal will be achieved."

"Grandpa will be very happy." Charlotte smiled again.

"Maybe." Charles replied without hesitation.

"You're so ruthless to my grandfather!" Charlotte grumbled quietly. "Anyway, he's also your elder, isn't he?"

"He never seemed to care about me." Charles replied.

"You're wrong, you're his own brother's heir, how could he not care?" Charlotte defended her grandfather, "Although the concept and position are different, your grandfather is his own brother after all. And...... And when we were children, how could I have been able to deal with you without his approval? ”

"How could you be my enemy without his approval?" Charles shot back.

Charlotte stood up instantaneously, then laughed. "I see, so you've always been annoyed that grandpa brought me on this path...... Charles, you're really dishonest......"

Charlotte's smile was both a little narrow and very happy, and for a moment the carriage was like a flower blooming.

"You're thinking too much!" Charles replied flatly, "I just don't like his ever-expressionless face." ”

Charlotte didn't go on to urge her brother again, but sighed softly, "Actually, I told my grandfather that I wanted to take this path, and my grandfather didn't force me, and even persuaded me, saying that girls shouldn't take that kind of risk." ”

Charles wanted to ignore it, but Zuihou couldn't help but ask.

“weishenme?”

“weishenme?” Charlotte tilted her head slightly, "For a lot of things." To help grandpa, to redeem our time, to restore our position...... There are so many reasons. Don't you want to restore the glory that our ancestors once had? Even a century ago, we had the power to kill the mob, but now we ...... But what do you think of what has become of Ranci? We also bow to the mob and its descendants...... Can you tolerate it? ”

"Our time?" Charles couldn't help but sneer, "We don't have an era anymore, and no matter how hard you try, you can't turn back a century of time." ”

Charles's hands clenched suddenly.

He noticed that Charlotte's smile had completely faded, and there seemed to be some anxiety and anger in her eyes.

"That's it, you've always been like this, since you were a kid! You treat everything as if it's a stage play that doesn't matter to you, and you don't hate us, but you deliberately alienate us, as if we were just characters in the painting......"

"So what?" Charles raised his voice as well. "Should I follow your example and bury that bygone era? No, never. ”

"How do you know the result if you don't try it?!"

"I know the result without trying!"

"I'm going to try it anyway!"

"I'll stop you anyway!" Charles stared at his sister, "I'm going to carry forward the Treville family name, even more than you can imagine, but it's definitely not your way, all you can get this way is a tragedy, not even a tragedy!" ”

"Then I'll show you anyway!" Charlotte also stared at her younger brother, "Since I was a child, you seem to be looking down on me and my brothers, and you can't tell who is the sister and who is the younger brother, do you think you are detached?" You're wrong! I'm going to prove that your ideals and your theories are all outrageously wrong, that you are just a mortal among us, living within my reach, living beside me, not living on top of our heads, you will understand! ”

The two men stared at each other sharply, and neither of them would shrink back their gaze.

Until Zuihou, Charles let out a long sigh.

How many times have you quarreled? Fiftieth or hundredth? I can't remember.

"Well, time will tell which of us is right and who is wrong." He withdrew his gaze and looked back at the moon outside the window.

Charlotte also withdrew her gaze, and the quarrel between the two siblings ended in a pause again.

"Do you know that I hate that Baron de Beauvang so much?" Charlotte spoke abruptly.

“weishenme?” Charles asked casually to make the atmosphere less stiff.

"His son, the only son, is pursuing me." Charlotte's face bloomed again, but the smile was both mocking and hateful, "You see, France has reached the point where a former commoner's son dares to pursue a duke's daughter......"

Charles' eyes widened and he looked at Charlotte with a creepy look. He barely heard what Charlotte was saying behind him.

"Don't worry, I'd rather study in the academy for the rest of my life than marry the son of a former commoner, no matter how rich I am. However, now because of some needs, I can't directly refuse for the time being, so I can only deal with it first. Hey, that's disgusting...... It's disgusting...... As I said, sooner or later I'll have to pay for my offense......"

I'm going to kill his whole family! He was screaming, roaring, roaring.

Eventually, he recovered and his breathing was smooth again. "I see."

However, Charlotte had already seen Charles's anger just now, and her heart was full of joy. "If you know, it's good."

The carriage finally stopped, and Charles slowly stepped out of the carriage to return to his home.

“zaijian。” His voice was deep.
