Chapter 111: A Leopard in the Tube
The words of the little boy made him unconsciously think of another person, the middle-aged maid who claimed to have "nowhere to go".
She is nearly middle-aged and has a wealth of life experience, and when she says those words, she does not violate the slightest disobedience, and she can naturally resonate with others. And when the little boy said something like that, it made him feel a little awkward.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and he has to guard against it.
He is now a lord, and any decision may affect the future, life and death of countless people, how dare he shout lightly.......
One of the remaining three thugs seemed to be in a hurry to behave, and immediately scrambled to reply, "Lord Hui, I know something about Wade....... His name was Wade, his father was a tailor who died of illness five years ago, and her mother disappeared two years ago, leaving him and his sister alone. In order to survive, he took refuge in Redbeard's father, learned some stealing skills, and has been wandering on East Sixth Street, and his life is not bad. ”
Hearing this, Yun Lang smiled meaningfully: "Hehe, I really didn't expect that you know him quite well......."
Before, these gangsters couldn't even say a word, but when they introduced the little boy, they suddenly changed a lot, not only articulate, but also clear-headed.......
Yunlang, who was already suspicious, was alert again.
The little thug wanted to continue, but Yun Lang was already impatient, and he waved his hand, interrupting him.
"I'm a little tired, so that's it, you guys...... You can go!" Yunlang suddenly made a 180-degree turn.
The three thugs on the opposite side looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do for a while.......
The little boy was stunned and seemed to be a little flustered: "Lord Lord, you ....... Do you want that beautiful ornament? I'll get it for you!"
"Ugh....... Since it is what Baron Harold wants, I will return it to him directly! I wanted to take a look at it before handing it over to Baron Harold, but I also thought that when I first came here, I still needed to prepare for the major celebration of officially taking over as lord, and I couldn't part with it for a while, so I ....... Don't look at it!"
Speaking of this, he solemnly emphasized: "My relationship with Baron Harold is still very good, since this is a small ....... Now that Wade has picked it up, let him go to Baron Harold to claim the reward! As for the few of you, I forgive you for being disrespectful to me for the time being. In the future, don't continue to embarrass Wade, or when I see Baron Harold again and ask about it in person, if I find out that it was not handed over to him by Wade himself, you will all be severely punished. ”
Yun Lang said it as a matter of course, and there were no flaws on the surface, but secretly he was paying attention to the other party's subtle reaction.
Instead of being happy, the little boy Wade became worried, and even didn't know what to do......
Among the three gangsters, the leading fat gangster was relieved, and the gangster who introduced Wade's life experience actually looked at the most inconspicuous gangster a little unnaturally.......
The reason why he is said to be inconspicuous is because his appearance is mediocre, a public face, and there are no obvious features.
And he has always been a little cowardly, but it is the kind of cowardice that makes people feel "disgusted...... Add to that the stark contrast of the other gangsters, and it's easy to ignore him.
If Yunlang hadn't been alert to the freshmen, and hadn't paid attention and observed them very carefully, he might not have been able to see these subtle differences.......
The most inconspicuous gangster turned a blind eye, and got up to leave like a fat gangster. Probably didn't get a response, and the gangster who introduced Wade's life experience got up a little helplessly.
At this moment, the child suddenly knelt down again and saluted: "Lord Lord, I want to serve you, I want to have a bright future, and I want my sister to have a good life...... I beg your grace. ”
Seeing this, Yun Lang immediately showed a look of embarrassment, and hurriedly got up, full of apologies: "I just came here, and I haven't stabilized yet, so I don't have anything suitable for you for the time being, so you can go back for the time being! I believe that after you return Baron Harold's lost property, he will definitely reward you heavily, which is enough for you to live a good life." ”
The little boy Wade had no choice but to get up from the ground and follow behind the group of thugs, walking together to the gate of the outer courtyard with anxiety.
After they walked away, Vivian asked puzzledly: "Master, Vivian thinks that Wade is quite clever and self-motivated, and he is a good seedling." We are short of manpower, so if we train it properly, it should be able to come in handy in the future. ”
"Ha......" Yun Lang smiled unconsciously, and explained a few words simply: "Since we left Korant City, our every move is under the control of others, although we suddenly changed our itinerary and came to Shining Gold Town in advance, it doesn't mean that those who have a heart will know nothing." If they take the opportunity to make a little arrangement, it is not completely impossible to do it. ”
Vivien was confused again....... This doesn't seem to be close to her proposal!
Yun Lang had no choice but to continue to explain in depth: "Hehe, I'll make it clear, these gangsters happened to appear in front of us, it may not be a coincidence, but someone else deliberately arranged it." If you think about it, when those gangsters begged for mercy, they couldn't even finish their words, and if they didn't listen carefully, you might not understand what they were saying. And later, those gangsters introduced Wade's life experience, did it change a lot, like ....... Words prepared in advance?"
Vivien combined back and forth, thought about it carefully, and gradually understood: "Ah....... Is it true! The hosts are worried that they have other motives and are trying to do us badly?"
Yun Lang nodded: "It's very likely....... According to common sense, I, the newly arrived lord, happened to encounter this incident, and I should have done justice for the little boy Wade. Then, when the boy handed over the missing item from Baron Harold, I was a little more curious, and I could find out some shocking secrets...... Vivien, if things go this way, what are we going to do with Baron Harold then?"
"Master, this ....... Vivien didn't know ....... either," Vivien lowered her head in shame.
Helpless, she's really not good at these....... If she could, she would rather face a strong enemy than think about it......
Yun Lang sighed lightly and didn't ask, but took the initiative to answer: "Previously, through some things, we had a vague understanding of Baron Harold and the head of the White family headed by him, thinking that they were involved in the attack on us along the way, and even believed that they had murdered the previous lord....... Give us the feeling that if we don't take them seriously, we may be very threatened.
However, when I met Baron Harold in person, I had some doubts. He was a very standard aristocrat, self-contained and intelligent, and knew how to make trade-offs. If he is a fierce beast that murdered the previous lord, then there must be an unavoidable real reason for existence - what is the reason why he has to take the risk of murdering a lord?
This is not a trivial matter, in case the news leaks, the emperor will definitely investigate the matter at all costs in order to save face, and at that time, the entire White family may be directly executed....... Putting the life and death of the whole clan on a thing that is easy to fail, but there is not enough gain, a person like him should not make such a choice.
If the murder of the lord is false and deliberately misled by some people, then it is also possible that the White family participated in the attack on us. Or maybe Baron Harold didn't know much about it, and was also misled in some way, and unknowingly got involved in it.
I'm not guessing....... Not long ago, when we left Baron Harold alone, he had the courage to stay, which is a good proof of this. If he had been involved in the attack on us, would he have had the courage to stay alone and have a calm conversation with me?"
Vivien listened carefully, sentence by sentence, and understood, but once it was connected, she was confused again......
