After joking with Gerson, Betsge put down his legs and sat seriously, looking like an office worker, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at Gerson with a serious expression and said: "Anyway, Gerson, do you say that the old servants in the family are still moles?" ”

"It's been a month since the brothers came into the house, and they have only caught two old servants who have a smaller position as stewards in the house, and so far, have they found nothing else?"

Looking at Becky, who suddenly looked serious and his face was full of majesty, Gerson knew that Becky was going to get down to business.

Although Gerson seems to be "honest", he has helped Becky manage a cottage for several years, which is not something that a "simple" person can do.

If you are wise and foolish, you are talking about people like Gerson, who usually seem honest and honest, but in fact, it is just his disguise.

For Gerson, the trivial matter is actually that he is too lazy to do it, anyway, his brother Betch is in charge, and he just needs to be the hidden knife in the hand of his brother Betsy.

When it comes to who is Viscount Becky's most trusted outsider, it is not Butler Hall, who manages a family and serves the head of the Beirut family for nearly three generations, but Gerson and Jer, who have followed Becky for nearly twenty years, but Jerle is not here now.

Gerson and Jerle are the most trusted brothers who can entrust Becky to the safety of his family and family.

It's just that the world doesn't know that Becky has two brothers in life and death, Gerson and Jer, and a cottage that exists in their mouths.

Only Becky's dearest wife, Lina, and her son Lacey, who did nothing to hide from them through Becky's office, could know the dark power in Becky's hands.

As for her sister Ellie, her parents are the kind of person who has something to do by herself, as long as Ellie is carefree and happy all her life, including Lacey's thoughts, which are also like her parents.

Gerson also got up seriously, sat up straight, put away his hippie smile, and said in a low voice: "Becky, what happened?" You only let the brothers look for the traitor, didn't the traitor find it! ”

"Hey, I guess it's not just those two old servants who are traitors!" Betch shook his head, took the red wine on the desk and drank it down, and said with a bitter expression: "Let me be honest with you, the dark line of business at home was reported by the seven major families, and it was wiped out by the royal city guard and the naval garrison!" ”

"Business dark line? Which business dark line are you talking about? Gerson asked, confused.

You must know that Gerson, as Becky's most trusted brother, belongs to the Beirut family anyway, and Bertch will not hide the secret, but Gerson knows that the Beirut family has two dark business lines.

In the face of Gerson's doubts, Betsge made a gesture to Gerson and did not say a word, but he had clearly told Gerson through his actions which business line was terminated.

"What, it can't be!" Gerson was startled by Becky's shooting gesture, and stood up in a panic and muttered in his mouth.

Gerson, who looked panicked, looked at Becky, who was sitting on the desk and chair with a bitter expression, and hurriedly walked to the desk.

Bending down with his hands on the desk, he came face to face with his brother Becky, looked into Becky's eyes and whispered, "What's going on?" This workshop has always been in the cottage, and I sent my old brother to guard it every day, and nothing has happened until now! ”

"Why did you suddenly say that something happened to this business dark line?"

The dark line of business refers to the business that cannot be done openly and openly, and must be matched by designated people to do business secretly, such as drug smuggling, arms trafficking, human trafficking... These are all dark lines of business in the kingdom, which are not allowed by the Kingdom of Goa, and can only do business secretly.

The rise of the Beirut family is inseparable from the smuggling and trafficking of arms, and it can be directly said that the Beirut family made a fortune and revitalized the family by smuggling and selling arms.

The rest of the big and small businesses on the surface, although they also make money, are mainly used to cover up people's eyes and confuse the public, and to launder money for the money earned from smuggling and selling arms.

"Hey, what happened last month." Betsge looked Gerson in the eye and whispered to Gerson about what had happened.

"You also know that the family's business is mainly arms, and other businesses are supplemented."

"No matter how much the Seven Families suppress and squeeze the Beirut family, they are not afraid of the business on the surface, after all, most of the family's gold sources mainly rely on the money earned by smuggling and selling arms."

"But the strange thing is that last month's transaction with that group of pirates, the location of the handover that used to be extremely secret, and the location that only a few of our family members and that group of pirates knew, was suddenly publicly reported by the seven major families."

"That day, the Kingdom Guard and Lieutenant Colonel Luther's navy took advantage of their surprise and suddenly raided that secret stronghold at the time of the handover between Lerthai and the pirates, resulting in the capture of all the stolen goods!"

"What?" Hearing Becky's account of the incident, Gerson obviously increased his tone and looked nervous and asked, "How did the Seven Great Families know about that location, and how happened to Lerthai?" What happened to pirates and muskets? ”

Lerthai is Becky's special candidate for handover with the pirates, that is, the connector for arms transactions with the pirates, and all the smuggling and selling of arms are controlled by Becky behind the scenes, and Lerthai comes forward to trade.

Lerthai himself was originally a sixteen-year-old orphan wandering in the royal city of Goa, it was Becky who returned to the royal city of Goya eight years ago to meet Lerthai, and saw that Lerthai was poor and helpless, so he kindly and secretly adopted him, and has been secretly funded by Betchy to grow up to adulthood.

For Becky, who is not more than ten years older than himself, he has been secretly funding himself to grow up to adulthood, so Lerthai has always regarded Becky as his big brother.

After Lerthai was twenty years old, Becky saw that Lerthai was loyal to him, and let Lerthai take over the business of smuggling and selling arms.

Who knew that such a thing would suddenly happen last month, so that the navy and the royal city guard took the stronghold of the transaction, and the people were also arrested!

"Both Lerthai and the pirates were captured by the Castle Guards, and the muskets traded were all confiscated by the Navy!"

"And last month's trading volume was half a year's worth of goods, and as a result, people and goods were lost three times, and the business was suppressed and run on the bright side, and the capital chain was short, and the family naturally had no money!"

"Damn!" Gerson slammed his hateful fist on the desk to vent his anger.

You must know that this arms money is not only for the Beirut family, but also for the brothers of the cottage to live on their own money.

"That's a traitor in the family!" Gerson gritted his gums and said hatefully.

Becky nodded slowly, took the red wine bottle on the desk, gave himself a glass of wine, held the red wine glass in his right hand and shook it gently, squinted his eyes with cold light, stared at the red wine shining through the firelight in the wine glass, and said with a gloomy face: "Yes, there is a traitor within the family." ”

"There aren't many people in the family who really know where the arms trade is, me, you, Jer, Steward Hall, Lerthai, and that gang of pirates!"

Betsy stretched out his hand to stop Gerson, who wanted to speak, shook his head and said: "It's not you and Jer, you are my brothers, more than 20 years of paying money, I know very well what you are!" ”

"Fortunately, the munitions workshop is in the cottage, and the brothers in the cottage know that even Lerthai doesn't know who gave him the arms!"

"That's why the cottage can be safe, and I'm very relieved for the brothers!"

Hearing Becky's words and the word brother, Gerson's heart was slightly warm, thinking that Becky was still their former brother Becky, so he listened to Becky's thoughts.

"Lerthai this kid, it is impossible to be a traitor, I know his personality clearly, and with the navy's severe crackdown on arms smuggling and trafficking, Lerthai has been arrested for more than a month, and the Beirut family is still fine, and it can be proved that he did not betray the news, because I am still sitting here to prove that he has not confessed to me."

"Then it's just me, the butler, and the pirates! It is impossible for me, and although Madame and Lacey are aware of your existence, they are completely unaware of your details, nor of the munitions. ”

"In addition, Lacey has been smart since he was a child, I have already reminded Lacey that he can't tell anyone what he hears and sees in the study, and I have also sent his wife and housekeeper to test Lacey, Lacey is indeed tight-lipped, and it is not Lacey."

"The only ones left are Steward Hall and the pirates!"

"Knowing that I am the person behind the arms, our three brothers will not say it, and this kid Lerthai will not betray me, then only the housekeeper knows that I am the person behind the scenes."

"The seven families directly named me in the kingdom and said that I was smuggling and selling arms, which clearly meant that they wanted to put me to death, indicating that someone told them that I was the person behind the scenes."

"That's why you don't trust Butler Hall! No wonder the brothers were allowed to go into the city to take over the family guards. Gerson sat back on the couch and rubbed his temples in a whisper.

"But that's what makes me strange, Steward Hall has been loyal to the Beirut family for more than thirty years, and I can't figure out what he wants to betray me!"

"And I'm not sure that Steward Hall betrayed me, but I'm not sure that Steward Hall didn't betray me."

"In addition, the dozens of old servants in the family, who usually look loyal, how do you know that the brothers will catch two traitors who have reported the news!"

"Alas! It's hard to tell the treacherous! ”

Becky looked up and leaned limply back in his chair, looking at the dark room, and sighed lowly, thinking about what Butler Hall had just questioned Lacey.

For a moment, both Becky and Gerson pondered the elusive question of loyalty, and the room fell silent for a moment, except for the light of the oil lamp, which shone on their figures and reflected them on the floor, full of gloomy and cold atmosphere.

Reis, who followed Hall's housekeeper grandfather, was at the door of the second dyeing room, curiously looking at the dyeing room full of raw materials.
