Along the River Thames, Ernst came to a manor house on the West Bank, which was no longer in the heart of London, but the possession of a manor here was a testament to the strength of the owner.

"He's really just running the post office and winery?"

Ernst looked at Cosimo suspiciously, to which Cosimo nodded, "The information we got is accurate, unless Mr. Crispin has other businesses in the shadows. ”

Cosimo's words have a lot of meanings, and considering that Cosimo was born in Italy, the meaning of his words is obvious, but Ernst thinks that a Jewish-Englishman would not be involved in underground affairs.

"Earl Ernst, perhaps your servant did not make it clear, I own thirty percent of the shares of the Times."

At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared next to Ernst, because he did not appear to be threatening, and the bodyguards did not stop him.

"Chrispin?"

"If Count Ernst is referring to the master here, then believe it is me!"

A sheepdog, dressed in casual attire, it was clear that Crispin had just returned from a walk, and it was only 7:20 a.m., so it could only be said that Ernst's breakfast time was much earlier than usual.

"Mr. Crisping, it's not easy to see you."

Ernst's words made Crispin smile, and then he asked rhetorically: "If this is not done, perhaps it will be the negotiator who will meet with me, not you, Count Ernst." ”

Sure enough, Crisping's purpose was to meet Ernst, and the only thing that is unclear now is that I don't know if the Ranting Prologue was deliberately released by him to attract his attention.

"Hospitality outside the door is not a custom for us Jews, please!"

"If there is no interest, it will not be easy for me to step into this door."

With a teasing remark, Ernst walked towards the manor with Crispin's somewhat embarrassed face, and the servant immediately stepped forward to receive Ernst and Crispin.

Waving his hand to refuse the servant's approach, Cosimo helped him take off his mask, and Ernst sat in the hall with Chris, but a middle-aged man and a child under the age of ten sat facing each other in a serious manner, which was very awkward to look at.

"Tell me about your purpose! If the Rantei Prologue is genuine, I believe I can't refuse what I can do without going too far. ”

Everything made sense, and Crispin seemed very happy, but it was not him who really wanted to meet Ernst, but someone else.

Carl Neumann, one of the richest Jews in Britain, is known to be worth around a million pounds, which is a terrifying figure at this time. But he was unlucky, because of a misguided political investment, he became involved with Irish liberals, and he did not escape when they were caught.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to swallow up his wealth and company, and as a good friend of Karl Neumann, Crispin has been running around for a long time.

originally thought that there was no hope of rescue, but at this time, Queen Victoria died, and the nobles from all over the world came to London, which made Crispin see an opportunity.

Getting Carl Neumann out of prison was very simple and very difficult, simple because it only took one nobleman to speak for him, and difficult because no nobleman was willing to speak for a businessman.

Christianity saw only an opportunity, but as the Count of Moravia, the second son of the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince, prepared to reach various agreements with the Oriental Museum, Christianity saw hope.

A few years ago, he went to the East and happened to meet two Manchu nobles who wanted to go to the United States, but going to the United States was not as easy as he imagined.

By chance, they reached a series of agreements with Crisping, and a Manchu Jingshi courtyard house, including the antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the house, belonged to Crisping.

Originally, Crispin was going to build a church, but at this time, his servant said that he had found a secret room, and the Ranting Prologue was found in it.

Crispin was not too clear about the value of the Ranting Prologue, but he thought that since Ernst liked calligraphy and painting, he believed that this valuable thing should be able to attract Ernst's attention.

How did he know that the Ranting Prologue was worth a lot? If it's an ordinary thing, then who will put it in the secret room? Why not let some professionals take a look?

Here we have to talk about Crispin's wit, the Manchu Empire was an empire after all, he was just an ordinary Jewish businessman, if it was really identified as a treasure, then how did he leave the country with the treasure?

It is indeed as he imagined, if the Lanting Prelude is leaked in his hands, it is estimated that he and the Lanting Prelude are inseparable from the Manchu Empire at all, and there will be no meeting with Ernst at this moment.

Looking at the fairy girl in front of him with a wonderful figure and a flower fairy-like appearance, Ernst couldn't help but be stunned, her appearance reminded Ernst of a Brazilian young model Deborah Silva that he had seen on the Internet in his previous life.

It was so fresh and refined, as beautiful as a fairy, that Ernst did not deny that he was lost in that beautiful face for a moment.

"Jessica, this is His Royal Highness the Count of Ernst from Austria-Hungary, he is the second son of Archduke Ferdinand."

Ernst's stunned eyes were naturally seen by Crispin, but he didn't care, after all, Ernst was just a mature little guy in their eyes.

Jessica hesitated, because she didn't think that such a little fellow, who was only six or seven years old, would be able to get her father out of prison, even if he was of a noble position and a respected position.

After the second life, Ernst was no longer an ordinary person after all, and he was stunned for a moment, and soon his face returned to normal, and he looked at Crispin with a puzzled face, not understanding why he suddenly appeared in the girl he thought was so beautiful.

As he spoke, Ernst couldn't help but glance at the girl named Jessica, but at the age of thirteen or fourteen, her body had already developed like an adult, and with the fairy-like appearance, it was really difficult to take her eyes off.

She was already suspicious of Ernst, but now Ernst's gaze annoyed Jessica even more, because she sensed the familiar gaze and greed, and she hated it when people looked at her like this, even if it was just a little one smaller than her.

If I could, I would like to be able to possess her!

Ernst knew who he was, so he only wanted to possess rather than marry, after all, his future wife would be a princess of an ancient royal family like Denmark, if not a powerful princess like England, Germany and Russia.

Ignoring Jessica's impolite hesitation, Ernst said bluntly, "I'm not a verbose person, and if I can do it, I will never refuse." ”

Crispin and Cosimo looked at Ernst in some surprise, Ernst's attitude just now was not so decisive. Don't...... Cosimo, who was familiar with Ernst, couldn't help but glance at the fairy-like Jessica, but at the thought of Ernst's age, he shook his head and pushed what he thought was unrealistic out of his mind.
