Volume 3 The Walker in the Dark Eighty-Nine, Counterattack

Minna cautiously approached Esparo and stumbled upon a small cloud of ash on the floor, suddenly remembering the Dorothy she had seen when she placed the smoke, and already had an excuse in her mind.

Esparo squinted his eyes and looked at the little maid who was getting closer and closer, as if she was trembling, did she do something wrong? "Say, you came to the mansion before dawn, what do you want to do?!"

Minna pretended to be scared and incoherent: "I, I, I... Dorothy... No, it's not, Third Young Master... No, no... Nothing, really nothing! ”

Esparo frowned, Dorothy? Isn't that one of the maids that Lady Helen has been very fond of lately? It seems to be the second child's lover, but he doesn't like her kind of courteous appearance, but what does this maid have to do with the third child? He straightened his face: "Make it clear!" What happened to the third young master and Dorothy? ”

Minna looked embarrassed and didn't dare to speak, Esparo was impatient and was about to ask, but heard a loud shout from upstairs: "You get out of here!" He heard that it was the voice of his third brother Etta, glanced at Minna, and rushed upstairs with his attendants, leaving behind an instruction for his men to take Minna with him.

Minna was dragged away, and while they weren't looking, she quietly glanced back at the curtains, and saw Leonard blinking at her with a pair of eyes, before she was relieved.

On the second floor, outside the room of the third young master Etta, there was a disheveled beauty standing, her face full of grievances, begging Etta not to be so loud. Etta was flushed with anger, angrily told her to get out, and vigorously wiped the red lip prints on her face with her sleeve.

As soon as Esparo saw this scene, he guessed what was going on. Although this Dorothy has always been not very serious, the third child is too unpicky, right? Still working in his own room, didn't he take into account the feelings of Ex, who was only two rooms away from him?

He opened his mouth to stop the two of them and whispered to his brother what was the matter. Etta said angrily: "When I woke up, I saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, disheveled, I asked her why she was in my room, and she actually said that I didn't recognize what I did!" I didn't do anything. Why admit it?! ”

When Dorothy heard this, she cried: "Third Young Master, it is obvious that you brought me into the room, otherwise I would have walked in the corridor." Why did you get into your room inexplicably? You've done it all, how can you deny it? You're responsible for me! She pinched her thighs so hard that she burst into tears. I only thought that I had been abandoned by the second young master, and I was bumped into by the eldest young master again, so I had to at least control the third young master.

Eta naturally did not recognize it. He only knew that when he woke up, there was a big living person around him, and Dorothy had always been a second brother. Now he suddenly ran to his bed, and he was still wondering if he had been plotted. The second brother Ex has always looked down on him, could it be that he deliberately set a trap to frame himself? He glanced at the door of Ex's room, thinking that they were arguing so loudly that the second brother had not yet appeared. Could it be that there is a ghost in his heart?

Esparo was obviously considering this possibility, but he didn't think the second child should frame the third child for no reason, so he asked Dorothy, "Why did you come to this corridor?" I think you waited at Lady Helen's, right? "Was it really sent by the second child? Esparo also glanced at Aix's door.

Dorothy squeaked and didn't know how to answer, she came to touch the eldest young master's room to seduce, how could she say it directly?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Esparo turned back to Minna, "Tell me!" Didn't you see the two of them together? You're doing odd jobs in the garden, why did you come to the mansion?! ”

Minna had already thought of a reason: "When I woke up in the middle of the night, I suddenly remembered that the wine bottle that the third young master had drunk today forgot to send back to the wine cellar, for fear that it would be after dawn." The housekeeper will scold me when he finds out. So—" she snorted, and said with a pitiful look on her face, "I saw Dorothy sneaking out outside the cellar with a bottle of wine. I wanted to know what she was going to do, so I followed her to the mansion... I—I saw her enter the third young master's room..."

After hearing this, Dorothy already knew that Minna was framing herself, and her face turned red with anger: "You said that! I didn't steal the cellar wine! I am—" I opened my mouth, but she was speechless, the wine she had not stolen from the cellar in the middle of the night, but had stolen the land from his room when she had been favored by Ex, but it must not be said here. She glared at Minna: "Stinky girl, it's all you!" You framed me! With that, the whole person pounced.

Minna pretended to be embarrassed and shouted, "I didn't frame it!" I'm telling the truth! ”

"Enough!" Esparo shouted, looking at Dorothy with a gaze as cold as ice, but he was also suspicious of Minna: "Why do you want to know what she is going to do?" Maybe she came to get the wine on the orders of her master, didn't she? ”

Minna hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Dorothy is always yelling to call the eldest young master and the second young master to kick me out, I'm afraid of being driven away... As soon as I saw her sneaky look, I thought something was wrong, so... So I want to sneak in and see if I can catch her..."

"She said she was going to tell us to kick you out? Hum! Esparo narrowed, "Why?" ”

Minna began to wipe her eyes: "Because the third young master always drinks in the garden, every time he asks me to help him get wine, Dorothy said that I deliberately approached the third young master, and said that if I want to seduce a man, I must have at least half of her body." I don't know why she said that, I didn't seduce a man...", and she cried.

Dorothy's eyes widened, she did say those words, but Minna said it in this situation, as if she was implying that she had already had intentions for the third young master Eta, but before yesterday, she was still the mistress of the second young master Ex!

Esparo looked at Minna's thin child, and then at Dorothy, who was plump, and snorted coldly, and caught a glimpse of the butler quietly trotting upstairs with a few manservants, who seemed to have just entered the mansion, and ordered him: "Lock up Dorothy first, and when breakfast is over, then ask Lady Helen to order her to be kicked out." ”

The butler whispered in response, but Dorothy screamed and beat the valets to keep them from approaching: "I don't want it! I don't want to go! You can't do that! It can't be like this! Please, young master, as long as you let me stay, you can do whatever you want to me, young master. Gentleman... Third Young Master... Second Young Master!! The voice was indescribably poignant. She struggled desperately, but was dragged away by the valets, in the confusion. Someone else touched her chest a few times, causing her to scream again.

Esparo watched in disgust as she was dragged away, and then frowned at the door of her second brother's room. Things have come to this point, and Ex hasn't come forward yet, what is he thinking?

Etta yawned, "Big brother." I still have to be on duty, so I'll miss it first. Then he went back to his room and washed.

Minna was secretly glad that she had passed the test this time. And there was no need to worry that Dorothy would find an excuse to kick her out, and before she was happy, she heard Esparo's cold voice: "Butler, drive this girl to the backyard too, she doesn't have to do the garden work anymore." Let her give the servants a hand. Minna raised her head in amazement, and met Esparo's disgusted gaze: "Looking at your performance just now, it's really different from your usual stupidity, who are you trying to deceive by pretending to be like this?" After that, he ignored her, turned around and left, and several subordinates hurriedly followed.

Minna knew that it was the other party's suspicion that her performance just now had aroused the suspicion of the other party, but her mood was not heavy, and even a little brisk. To know. The backyard where the servants lived, though dirty, was separated only by a wall from the street outside. It's easy to leave, and it's ideal for her. The only bad thing was that the housekeeper was so vicious that he wanted her to leave immediately, and he didn't even allow her to go back to the hut to pack her things.

Walking in the mansion, Minna paid special attention to the curtain where Leonard had been hiding when she passed by the curtain, and made sure that he had left, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she was worried about her parents, I wonder how my father's injury is now? And where is Mom? It is a dividing line that transforms the perspective

The carriage carrying An Long walked quietly on the street, and soon turned into a house. By the time the carriage left the house again, An Long on the carriage had already changed into clean clothes, his wounds had been healed, and he was able to use the light system to heal the ground part, and he no longer bled out, but where his hands and feet were broken, the monk did not dare to do it easily, so he had to be fixed by the doctor with splints and gauze, intending to break and re-connect the bones after arriving at the place of settlement.

An Long's face was still pale, but he had woken up from his coma, he looked around in a daze, and asked, "I seem to have heard a girl's voice just now, who is that?" ”

"You're talking about Mary, aren't you?" A young member of the Operations Department of the Security Service replied with a smile that he only knew Minna's pseudonym, "The little girl is very powerful, although she is young, she is very capable, I don't know where I got it back." ”

An Long suddenly had an idea, but quickly suppressed it again, his youngest daughter was still in Encore City, how could she get to Ito and enter Heda's house? He was thinking too much.

The wheels of the carriage crushed a few pieces of gravel, shaking the carriage and touching the wounds on An Long's body. He closed his eyes and waited for the pain in his body to pass before he said, "Where are we going now?" ”

"Go to the docks." "His Majesty has promised to restore your reputation, but for a long time to come, we'll be busy cleaning up the effects of the Hedda incident. The director's meaning is to let you go to other places to recuperate for a period of time, and when your injuries are healed, you will first work in middle management in other places for a few years, and then you will return to work in the General Administration when things have completely calmed down. She's even figured out where you are. ”

An Long smiled slightly, hissed a few times, and asked again, "My wife..."

"Your wife is waiting for you at the docks." The man smiled, "Sending you to Shaonan is the place where she brought it up." I heard that you know a great magician, and she plans to send you to heal your wounds, and that taking a boat will also be good for your health. ”

An Long calmed down and didn't say anything anymore, only thinking in his heart that when he saw his wife and arrived in Shaonan, he would pick up his daughter as soon as possible.

The carriage reached the bank of the Manado River in the morning light, and on the empty wharf was a black carriage with its doors closed, and in the driver's seat sat a well-dressed man, pale and thin, with his hair mixed with silver threads. When he heard the sound of the carriage, he woke up from his deep thoughts, jumped out of the car, walked to the members of the Security Department, whispered a few words to the young man in charge, and then turned back and opened the door, revealing Dora who was already anxious.

As soon as Dora saw the carriage of the Security Agency, she immediately pounced, and when she saw her sober husband, she cried and laughed, and could not say anything, but kissed him gently on the forehead and cheek. The husband and wife have gone through nine deaths and lives before they have been reunited, and when they look at each other, they feel completely different moods.

The young man from the Operations Department looked at the man who had escorted Dora and said respectfully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Little Chulov, thanks to your help, our operation will go so smoothly." ”

The man was none other than Goodwin. Chulov, faintly responded: "It's nothing, I'm just... Do your part as a friend. He walked to the side of the carriage, looked at the pair inside, lowered his head and coughed lightly, and then smiled faintly: "If you have something to say, let's talk about it on the boat, can't you even wait for a few minutes?" ”

Dora hurriedly wiped away her tears and said gratefully, "Goodwin, I... I really don't know how to thank you..."An Long also looked at him with a smile: "Thank you, really, thank you very much." ”

Goodwin twisted his head, took out a handkerchief and coughed a few times before he turned around and smiled, "Who told me to know you for so many years?" I can't watch you die. He straightened up his face and said to An Long: "Don't think that I admit defeat, if you treat Dora badly, I will snatch her away!" ”

An Long just smiled: "There won't be that day, you die." Dora glared at him in disgust and turned back to Goodwin to apologize. Goodwin smiled and beckoned to the people outside the car: "Help carry it, be careful not to break people." ”

Everyone was secretly amused and came to help. When Anlong and Dora were safely on board, Goodwin signaled the crew to hoist the Chulov flag, sat down in the bow of the ship himself, ordered the anchor to be lifted, and left the harbor in the early morning sun.

At the same time, in the Hedda mansion, Lady Helen, who had just woken up, and the wives of the two older young masters, were angry when they learned of Dorothy's affairs, and they were talking about what to do with such women, among which Eix's wife was the most enthusiastic, and she thought that it was too merciful to just drive people out, and that they should be sold in private kilns.

Esparo was impatient, and made an excuse to leave, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, as if something had been overlooked. He hurriedly summoned the butler and asked if the wine bottle on the other side of the cellar had been handed back before dinner yesterday, and his face suddenly turned blue. After thinking about it, he went straight to the room of his second brother Ex, and when he saw that the other party was still sleeping on the bed like a dead pig, he suddenly became angry: "Get up for me!" Trouble right away! ”

Aix was still asleep, and was woken up by his desperate shaking: "Big brother? What are you doing? ”

"I ask you! Did you ask your good friend Lotie to seduce Etta?! ”

"Dorothy?" Ex frowned, "How is that possible?" I've played with women like this, and even if I lose it, it won't be cheap. Seeing Esparo's ugly face, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Esparo ignored him, and called the butler repeatedly: "Give me the little maid who rushed to the backyard in the morning..." Who's making noise?! ”

The housekeeper ran to the window and looked out, gasping: "The eldest young master, it's the director of the Legal Administration, and he also brought soldiers." ”

"What?!" Esparo took three steps and two steps to catch up, pushed him away, and saw his boss standing outside, listening to the person next to him with a cold face, and that person was... Leonard of the Security Agency? How did he come? What new tricks does the Security Agency want to do?!

"Big young master! Gentleman! The two guards rushed into the room, and Esparo was bored: "What's the matter?!" ”

"Big young master, those two people are gone!"

"Who?" Esparo was stunned.

"Those two security agency spies locked up underground! Just now we went on patrol and found that they were gone! ”

Esparo felt only an invisible net coming at him.

(Lao Gu is actually not a boss, he is a good person...) Wipe a handful of bitter tears for him, get some tickets, comfort and comfort him... )
