Chapter 35: Crisis
After saying that, two people came to support Scarface's arm, Scarface knew what it meant, his face turned pale with fright, his body struggled vigorously, and shouted loudly: "No, no! Don't, I've pretty much figured out the rules of Clifford's activities, and I think you need me. ”
The man waved his hand, snorted coldly, and said with a disdainful expression: "If you said it earlier, why should you suffer this sin? Listen, you continue to stare at Colliver, ready and ready for my orders. ”
"What do you want me to do?" Scarface said puzzled.
"Someone wants him dead, but not now, you just have to keep an eye on him and be ready to do it at any time." The man said coldly, and then threw a bag to Scarface, which jingled, and at a glance he knew that it contained a lot of silver dollars, and said, "This is a deposit, and after the deed is completed, there will be your reward." ”
I thought I was going to be unlucky today, but I didn't expect that not only did I escape death, but also got benefits, Scarface was immediately overjoyed, and quickly knelt up straight, and said loudly: "Thank you for taking care of my business, I will definitely do things well." I just don't know, how will we contact each other then? ”
"We'll go find you, get the money, get out of here!" The man said coldly, obviously impatient.
Immediately, one of his men picked up the bag containing the silver dollar, stuffed it into Scarface's pocket, and then picked him up with another person and walked out, the whole time, the sleeve on Scarface's head was not removed, he didn't know who the other person was? But he knows the rules, it's normal for employers to be reluctant to dedicate themselves to doing this kind of thing, it's not a big deal, as long as the money is paid.
After Scarface was taken away, one person came out of the back room of the room, and it was none other than Pol's chief strategist, Lincoln. As soon as the person who was talking to Scarface just now saw Lincoln coming, he immediately stood up, bent down respectfully, and said, "Dear Lord Lincoln, he is gone." ”
Lincoln nodded at the man, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "Jack, you're doing a good job." We have inquired clearly, the old king's recent series of actions are all such as the ghost of Clifford, and these actions are obviously aimed at the Governor. This man is thoughtful, and he is not good for us, and the Governor means that these are extraordinary times, and it is not advisable to cause trouble, lest the opponent seize the handle. However, if this Count Clifford danced too happily and did not know how to lift, then he could only blame himself for not cherishing life too much. ”
Jack nodded heavily, a fierce look released in his eyes, and said, "Don't worry, Lord Lincoln, I have a sense of proportion in this matter, after that Scarface helps us finish the work, I will not keep him, I will definitely handle it cleanly." ”
"That's good." Lincoln glanced at Jack approvingly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's worth it to the Governor and I for your cultivation." Do your best, and the Governor will not do you any wrong. ”
"Got it, Lord Lincoln." Jack bowed deeply and expressed his loyalty to his superiors with great loyalty and determination.
The Earl of Clifford, who was still unaware of the matter, took Liana back to the Earl's Court. When the carriage stopped at the door, Clifford jumped down first, and then helped Liana down very gentlemanly, and said with a slight smile: "Be careful, my little sweetheart." ”
Seeing that Clifford was back, Ahsan walked forward, and with Alan he held the carriage up, and said respectfully, "Have you had fun?" My master. ”
"Of course." Collifer took Liana's hand and said with some unfinished words: "The Grand Prince's ball is really not ordinary, and I enjoyed it there. As he spoke, his mind naturally conjured up Angela's peerless face and sweet smile.
"Master." Yasan walked over, tugged at Lacoliver's sleeve, and whispered, "Please come over here." With that, he looked at a small tree in front of the Earl's Court.
Knowing that he just had something to say, Clifford nodded and said, "Liana, you wait for me here." ”
"Yes, my master." Liana said very well-behaved, her voice full of snort.
After following Asan to the little tree, Coolford whispered, "What's the matter, Uncle Assan, is there anything wrong?" ”
Yasan looked at the young earl's son, his eyes were full of love and expectation, and he said with concern: "Master, it is best for you to go out less these days, and even if you do, don't come back so late." ”
"What's wrong? What happened? Clifford asked puzzled, in fact, he probably had guessed that he was in the limelight these days, and it was very likely that someone would be unfavorable to him, but he still wanted the other party to say it, which could improve their enthusiasm for work.
Sure enough, a trace of pride flashed in Yasan's worried eyes, and he said with a solemn expression: "People already know that the idea of the king's restructuring is yours. Our people have found out that there are some representatives of the Governor of the Second Prince's Party who are very dissatisfied with you, and I am afraid that they will be unfavorable to you. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Ahsan." Feeling a warm current welling up from his heart, he hugged the shoulder of this loyal servant with great emotion, and said, "Don't worry, for the sake of the Count of Sicily and the future of all of us, I will definitely be very careful." I will never come back so late again as I did today, and I apologize for my actions today. ”
"Alright, my master. I am glad that you can understand my good intentions, and you need not apologize like us subjects, just pay attention to it in the future, and do not forget the expectations of the old earl. Clifford's kindness and politeness touched Yasan very much, such a master is worthy of people's allegiance to him, and straightened Clifford's shirt and instructed with an earnest face.
Colefo nodded heavily, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Uncle Assan, one day, you will see the recovery of our Sicilian Earldom, no, you will see a more powerful country, a country that belongs to us." ”
"I'm waiting for that day, it must be a good day." Ahsan coughed dryly twice and smiled slightly.
Clifford said something more to Ahsan to pay attention to, and then returned to the room with the lovely maid Liana.
There are a lot of happy things today, and Clifford's interest is also very high, and he tossed Liana for a long time, and he almost couldn't breathe when he tossed this little vixen, and snorted: "Master, you are really amazing today." ”
Collie snorted coldly, pinched her little face, and said with a pretended unhappiness: "You mean I'm not usually good?" ”
