101 Collusion (3)
Motioning for the butler to open the small door, the man who appeared at the door took off his hood, revealing his young face.
"Good day, Uncle Ruud. β
"I don't dare to be your uncle, your mother is trying to kill you. The old man sighed, squinting at the smoke rings blown away by Jonk: "Little Jonke, you are so bold, how can you be so sure that I will shelter you here?"
"Because, of course, Uncle Ruud, you are a businessman. Jonk smiled, and he pulled out a note with the information he had just received from the Yin Spirit, and handed it over, "Uncle might as well take a look." β
The old butler handed the paper to the old man, and the old baron frowned and looked at the paper for a while, and looked at Jonk suspiciously, as if he knew Jonk again, and finally sighed: "Little Jonke, you know that you can't use this kind of thing to deceive me, do you?"
"Feel free to scout and verify. Jonke said calmly: "Including the dens recorded above, the people involved, I believe that uncle, you have the ability to obtain the authenticity of this information without startling the snake, you may not know everything in the city, but the truth or falsity of any information about the city cannot be hidden from you, this is something that everyone in the city knows." β
"Little Jork, I never knew your mouth could be so pleasing to people. Ruud squinted, "But I guess your purpose isn't to join me in bringing down your stepmother who colluded with the Eternal Sleeper, to prove your innocence to your father, and to clean up the stigma with merit, right? β
"Uncle Ruud, you are wise and shrewd. β
Jonk Valage's expression changed for a moment, and then he turned his gaze to the butler who bowed his head slightly beside Rudd.
"Darius is my confidant, little Jonker, and I can tell him what I have to say, but little Jonker, you have brought someone with you, why don't you dare to let him in with you to hear your plan? The old man sneered, a cold light shining in his squinted eyes.
Jonker's heart flickered, but he remained silent on the surface.
The old man shook his head and didn't continue to ask, his eyes narrowed slightly: "But Jonker, you don't have to say anything now." β
He took a long puff of cigarette and coughed before he sighed as he stuffed it, "If I were your father, I would be very, very, very disappointed and sad, little Jonker, you are a complete little brute. β
Jonk Varech bowed his head slightly, his hands trembled slightly, and he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot: "Uncle Rude, then you tell me, if you stand in my position, what choice will you make?"
"Of course it's about the same as you. Baron Ruud smiled, "Bid, little Jonker, how are you going to impress a stingy merchant like me?"
"You can be the lord of Ice Rainbow City. Jonk took a breath and said in a deep voice.
"What?" Ruud's ears twitched, almost thinking he had misheard.
"You, Uncle Rude, can be the lord of Rainbow City! I just need to inherit the title!" Jonk said loudly: "A merit cannot completely erase the stain on my past, the nobles may tolerate me inheriting the title with your support, but they will never tolerate me becoming the master of this city, I have such self-knowledge! I can even allow your people to take over most of the public positions that the Varech family is now managing, and I only need to keep a part of it, with the foundation and ability of your family, is the distance between the temporary city lord and the official city lord very far?"
"Poof. Baron Ruud spat out his cigarette, and he looked at Jonker for a long time, until the smoke completely disappeared, and Jonk's rapid breathing slowed down, and then he said with a half-sigh: "Utter betrayal, the efforts of the Varech family for half a century starting with your grandfather will be ruined, little Jonker, if you were my son, you are dead now." β
"All I have to do is inherit the title," Jonker Varech smirked sickly, "what do you think?
"Good business, it's really a win-win situation, fame and real profit are both, those who shouldn't be nobles become nobles, and those who shouldn't be city lords become city lords. Baron Ruud smiled mockingly, "This is a temptation I can't refuse at all, but little Jork, I have one last question, and that isβ
Do you really have what it takes to make this deal with me?!"
The old man stood up from the bed, and the most commonly used mana for many years was raised to the sixth order, and the 'Ascending Human Fixation Technique' flew towards Jonker, and a layer of phantom shadow covered Jonke's body at this time, and the spell hit this layer of shadow to no avail, and immediately a spiritual scream was released from the shadow, and the old man's head was dizzy, and he sat down on the bed, staring at him for a long time before coming back to his senses.
"Uncle, is this enough to work with you?" the ghost asked, retracting Jonker's clothes.
"Yes, little Jonker, you are qualified, do you need to stay here and prepare?" the old man laughed.
"No, thank you, according to our intelligence, the ritual of the Eternal Sleeper will begin in three days, and our time is very limited. Jonk took off his hood and saluted, turning and walking out.
"Prove your strength, little Jonker, if your strength doesn't satisfy me in three days, then I'll at least get a reputation, and you're hard to say. The old man smiled.
He watched Jonk walk out of the room, the smile on his face retracting, and he placed his pipe upside down on the table.
The butler Dales came over, and he knew that it was the master who had something to say.
"Go, find out in a moment, which force is behind him?"
The old baron rubbed his head, which was still a little painful, and lowered his eyes and commanded.
"Your Excellency. After many years of work, this butler has the privilege of asking about things that he does not understand, and he frowned: "The servant has something to understand, do you think there is other strength behind this kid to support him?"
"You also saw the results of the temptation. If you don't have the confidence to hold on, how stupid will this kid be to come to me to cooperate?" the old baron snorted and muttered, "I'm not afraid that even the bones will be eaten by me?"
The old baron's self-blackening made the butler embarrassed for a moment, and asked again: "But sir, he came to you to cooperate, which probably means that his strength is not strong." β
"What he wants is my support, without reliable political support, he can't sit on the throne even if he kills his father, even if it's the first step, just me or him to expose his stepmother, it will arouse suspicion, because I am his father's political enemy, and there is already a blood feud between him and his stepmother, there is the possibility of false accusations and frame-ups, but there is no problem for us to unite and bring a bunch of other forces, and if it is done, it will be fame and fortune, and that stepmother will also be made into an iron case, and will always be criticized and criticized, and his own image is extremely bright; you see, this kid is shrewd." γ What's more, I'm the only one in the city who has the ability to make this deal with him. β
The old man pointed out the essence of the problem sharply: "I am exactly the opposite of what you think, Daries, the power behind this kid must be very strong, because this power gives this kid the courage to come to me to cooperate without fear of losing the control of the matter after cooperation! What is the force that is helping him? β
He paced on the ground, snorting and sneering: "Control a waste as a puppet, you can't even keep the position of the city lord, sneaky, and you don't dare to put it in the open if you have the strength, Dales, this is a secret organization that can't see the light." β
"Master, if it's this kind of organization, I'm afraid it's hard to investigate. The butler said with a bitter face: "If the servant can't find anything, please consider this plan, master." β
"Don't think about it, with the irreplaceability of my plan for them, I should make up my mind about this city lord. The old baron sneered: "Don't think of them too strongly, Daries, if they are really strong enough to manipulate me at will, I will surrender directly, why should they waste their brains to send this little waste to negotiate terms with me?"
"Sir, you are so wise. The butler bowed his head and complimented.
"But there are still problems. Baron Ruud savored the contents of the plan and frowned: "This kid didn't tell me all the truth, Daries, before you inquire about the information, make sure that this first phase of the arrest operation will not be leaked because of the information, and, although it is unlikely, don't let me be really deceived by this kid." β
The butler bowed his head and frowned as if he felt a little unhappy: "Master, I still have questions, why didn't Young Master Jonk directly use this merit to persuade his father to change his mind? If he proved to Baron Lack that his stepmother had bad intentions, Baron Lack was likely to change his mind on the issue of succession, didn't he? Why did he have to put Baron Lack ...... Trick yourself into coming back and kill you?"
As he said the last sentence, his expression became even more awkward, and he seemed to feel very disgusted.
"I just like your naΓ―ve Dales. Baron Ruud laughed: "The night is long and dreamy, if it were me, I would definitely not think like you, rather than pinning my hopes on others, it is better to start early when the other party is confused." β
"Sir, the servant is really stupid. Darius blushed in shame, he helped his eyes, and his expression was a little tangled: "Master, with all due respect, what I can't understand is that this young master Jonker's thoughts, with his quality, are actually not qualified to be knighted, I agree with Lord Rak, this young master Jonk must also be aware of this, why is he so fanatical about the title? Is it just because of hatred? The servant thinks it shouldn't be, after all, he has not been harmed, so why?" He could have escaped, and I don't think Lord Rak would chase him at all. There's no need to get to the point of cannibalism. β
"You don't know?" Baron Ruud came back from his thoughts, and a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Ha, it's a coincidence, I don't think that little kid of Lark knows the answer you want, I really want to see how Lark felt and looked when he learned these things from his son's mouth, it must be interesting." β
"Your Excellency, you are wise. Knowing that Baron Ruud must have known the answer, but not saying anything, Dales was amused not to ask, and turned to run errands.
......
In the middle of the night, Shirakawa found a room in the storage room of the Lord's Mansion as a bedroom, and the creation and magic of the room turned the original dilapidated room into a new one, and he slept in a large soft bed, with his head buried in the chest of the elven maid.
The elven maid was not flat-chested, but not majestic either, she was bitten very badly, and there was an uncomfortable look on her face, and her two slender legs rubbed together.
Fine beads of sweat hung on her slightly flushed face, and she gasped slightly, as if deep in a dream.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and the environment she was in made her stunned for a moment, she looked around, and was slightly startled when she saw the white-haired Shota lying on her chest, and then showed a cute expression of shame and helplessness.
She quietly moved her upper body, and Bai He raised her head with a 'hmm?', sniffed in ignorance, and threw her face on Sif's waist, her breath blowing on the skin, Seve was angry and anxious.
Noticing the quilt next to the bed, her eyes lit up.
She pulled the quilt, stuffed the soft quilt into it when Bai He grabbed it indiscriminately, and took a lot of effort to get out, she looked back at Bai He who was gnawing on the quilt, wiped the beads of sweat on her head and sighed softly, and put her palms together to make a few prayer gestures at Bai He, turned around and left the room lightly.
"Huh?"
After a while, the white dragon took a bite of the quilt, opened his eyes wide, and saw clearly what he was holding and biting, and immediately became very angry.
"Humph!"
