Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Broken Clue
In fact, the content of the two people's speeches did not have much nutrition, nothing more than Henry XI expressed regret for what had happened to the Wobs family in the past six months, and said that Tlandon could inherit the title and lead the Wobs family to regain glory.
The royal family will also give a great boost when necessary.
A bunch of meaningless official words, the only useful thing is the one that supports Trandon's succession to the title.
This is a sign of the royal family's attitude, warning the enemies of the Wobs family to be on their own.
The Wobs family is already miserable, and the only heir has finally returned, so let him inherit everything that should have belonged to him smoothly, and don't make any moths for the time being.
Trandon didn't come this time to get the royal family's support for his revenge or to provide help.
In fact, the royal family has always played the role of sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai and turning a blind eye to the "secret fights" between other families.
Only when the two sides really fight the real fire and affect the stability of the empire will they intervene.
Tlandon knew very well that if he wanted revenge, he could only rely on himself and his demon butler. He came to the palace this time, firstly, this is a necessary thing, as the only heir of a large family, he has been missing for a long time and reappeared to inherit the title, and he must come to meet the master of the empire.
Second, he also told those people that he had come back and put himself back on the stage.
Next, there should be no more "open guns" in the face, and some will only be hidden arrows.
As for the Dark Arrow, Trandon had great confidence that there would be no one else in the Imperial Capital who would be able to assassinate or kidnap him—after all, he had a demon butler by his side.
Back at the manor, before he could remember to take a break, Trandon immediately threw himself into a series of chores that didn't make much sense but had to be done.
If you want to inherit the title, it is certainly not a simple matter to control a marquis family.
By the time the messy chores were done and things were starting to get on track, three days had passed since Trandon arrived in the imperial capital.
During these three days, although Trandon did not go out in the manor, he met with many people and talked about many things, and gradually gathered the power of the Wobs family into his hands.
This is also thanks to the fact that the largest industry of the Wobs family is potato cultivation - that is, agriculture, the cornerstone of which is made up of industrious and simple commoners, as well as land.
Fortunately, the land is there, and it will not disappear, and it will not take much effort for Trandon to regain what was lost in half a year.
If it is changed to other industries, such as gangsters or something, the boss will die and guarantee that there will be a mess underneath.
And for now, most of the people in the imperial capital are reluctant to touch the little young master who has been missing for a long time.
People have just met His Majesty the King, so they have to give some face. For some people, those things are a windfall, so take them back if you want to.
Most of the eyes of the people in the imperial capital are on the Wobs family.
The disappearance of a poor viscount with a small fief who can't even live in Midtown certainly won't attract too many people's attention. Even Gerald's neighbors did not notice that the viscount next to them had already left their house and had not returned for three days.
"Things are almost settled......"
In the study, Trandon rubbed his eyebrows and looked at Lady Lis, who was standing respectfully in the distance, "Now that you are completely tied to the Wobs family, you should know what to do, right?" ”
"I understand, young master." Mrs. Lise sighed inwardly.
These days, she is basically by Trandon's side, and she has also met a lot of people with him, which is even more "housekeeper" than Su Mo, the elusive housekeeper.
This act was an obvious sign to her former master that she had betrayed herself—though Mrs. Liss did not know who she had been serving.
However, judging from the urine nature of the island, those people will definitely not let go of the betrayer of Lady Lis, and if you want to live, you should follow in the footsteps of the Wobs family.
"Alright, let's go down." Trandon waved his hand.
Mrs. Lisy saluted and left the room.
Trandon leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, took a nap, and reopened them. The look of exhaustion in his eyes disappeared, and was replaced by an incomparably fierce light.
Enough to ignore the terrible light of his age.
"Sebas." Trandon spoke, his voice filled with suppressed anger.
"Young Master, are you going to meet that poor Viscount Gerald?" Su Mo asked.
"That's right." Trandon stood up and walked out first.
Viscount Gerald, of course, will not be under the bed now, he has been transferred to the basement of the Wobs family.
Although there was no key, an iron door in the basement naturally couldn't stop Su Mo, and after kicking it hard, he forcibly broke it open with violence.
The basement, which was thought to be hiding some secret, turned out to be quite ordinary, and became the shelter of Viscount Gerald.
"Viscount Gerald......"
Lying in the corner of the room, looking very thin, with sunken eyes, Gerald was suddenly awakened by a voice.
When he opened his eyes, Gerald saw Tlandon's expressionless face, his body trembled, and he immediately got up and knelt directly on the ground: "Master Tlandon, I said everything, I will say everything you want to know!" ”
"Huh?"
Trandon was stunned for a moment, and looked at Su Mo a little strangely.
He had been dealing with things for the past three days, so he didn't have time to ask the viscount about the island.
However, in his heart, Tlandon had already made a series of "interrogation plans", but he didn't expect this guy to compromise and express his willingness to cooperate?
What about the good ones who would rather die than give in?
I can't even say the incomparably fashionable "say it and leave your whole corpse" when you cooperate like this!
"I didn't do anything young master, I just didn't let him sleep." Su Mo smiled and said.
For three days, Gerald was kept here without any harm, and of course, without food—except for a small glass of water. In addition, Su Mo asked the Seven Sins to separate an individual to watch this guy, not to have any communication with him, the only thing to do was to kick this guy awake when he wanted to rest.
Hunger, fatigue, darkness, dead silence, if it weren't for the hope that Gerald still had in his heart, he would have almost collapsed by this time.
Of course, even if he didn't collapse now, he wouldn't be able to raise any resistance in the face of Tlandon.
As he himself said, he said everything.
"Master Tlandon, I really say everything!"
Seeing Tlandon's reaction, Gerald immediately whispered. If he could, he wanted to cry to express his sincere feelings, but he didn't have the strength to spare.
"Then let's talk about it, I'll leave you a whole corpse after that." When Tranton finally had a chance to say that, his heart was much happier and his voice calmer.
"Okay."
Gerald nodded, calmly accepting his fate.
Gerald didn't know exactly what that island was about. But every time the children had to be transported, the sin was needless to say, and Gerald understood it.
Now that Trandon had escaped from that hell, Gerald didn't expect him to spare himself, if Gerald had some unrealistic thoughts in his heart at first.
After three days, all he asked for was a clean, painless death.
"You know that's all?"
A few minutes later, after listening to Gerald's words, Trenton's tone became unkind again.
It's not that Gerald doesn't cooperate, it's that his cooperation doesn't work! Although he knew a few things, such as where Gerald bought the supplies and the "sacrifices" and the like.
But that's not what Tranton wants, what he really wants to know is who is behind Gerald? Who are they?
But the only places Gerald offered were a few locations, and that was where he "connected" with the people behind the island.
Beyond this clue, Gerald knew no more than Mrs. Lisy and Joyce.
"That's really all I know, Master Tlandon, I'm going to die, so why hide anything. I don't have any family or children, so I have to worry about retaliation. Gerald said.
Although he is middle-aged, he is indeed a single man, and his parents and only brother have died early.
The standard is a lonely person, and I'm afraid that the people behind the island also value this point and choose him as the link.
Otherwise, how could Geraldpu's ordinary abilities be favored by those people?
In these days, talents are a real scarce resource.
"Okay, I'll give you a good one."
Realizing that he could not get any other useful information from Gerald's mouth, Trandon did not dwell on it, and turned and walked out of the basement. Gerald's next fate naturally doesn't need him to worry about.
"Let's find out who those four places belong to." Walking out of the basement, Trandon said to Su Mo with a frown, a little irritated at the same time.
If he had known that Gerald only knew one thing, he would have come to ask him earlier.
This world is not the earth, with computers and complete real estate information in the imperial capital, you can find out what land or house belongs to whom.
To find out who belonged to the four places in the huge imperial capital - even for the marquis family, it was a huge and complicated project.
Especially with the Wobs family being short on manpower.
And three days have passed, and Trandon has begun to worry that the people behind the island have begun to eliminate any clues that can be found.
It's much easier to cover up than to find what to come.
