Chapter 283: Silverstone City

A carriage hurried into the Brontë family's estate, and when Viscount Brontë entered the house with a sad and tired face, Miss Winnie greeted her and said, "Father, why did you end your official duties so early today?"

Viscount Brontë stared at the beautiful Winnie with some worried eyes, and wanted to say something but opened his mouth without making any sound, and finally all his hesitation and worry turned into a long sigh. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Father, what is the matter with you, has something happened?" asked Miss Winnie thoughtfully, for she had rarely seen a father express his inner worries so clearly, and that Viscount Brontë was indeed in some difficult situation.

Viscount Brontë looked at his beloved daughter and wanted to say it several times, but he didn't know what to say when the words came to his lips. He knew that his daughter was in love with the Marquis of Leo, and he was originally very optimistic about the relationship between them, but unfortunately, a magical message from the Imperial Capital Supervision Department ruined all this.

Just as Viscount Brontë was contemplating the organization of his own language, and wanted to tell Miss Winnie as tactfully as possible, his brother Baron Duke strode in from outside.

"Brother, Winnie, are you all here, do you seem to be discussing Leo's affairs?" asked Baron Duke as soon as he entered the door.

"Leo, what's wrong with Leo?" Hearing Baron Duke's words, Miss Winnie turned to look at her father, and she guessed from the embarrassed look on his father's face as soon as he came home that it must have something to do with Leo.

"Well, Winnie baby, sit down first, and I'll talk to you. Seeing this, Viscount Brontë knew that Winnie had found out, so he had to investigate Leo by His Majesty the Emperor for being involved in fornicating with foreign countries, but he escaped from the imperial capital on the night he was imprisoned.

As Leo's fiefdom, the upper and lower officials of Silverstone City were immediately reviewed by Willand of the Supervision Department of Silverstone City, and even the city defense army was taken over by Willand, and Viscount Brontë, the consul personally appointed by Leo, was also removed from office on the spot. If it weren't for the fact that the Brontë family is one of the largest families in Silverstone, and the intertwined relationship is too great, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Viscount Brontë to get out of this matter.

"This is impossible, how could Leo be treasonous, he has made great achievements for the empire!" Hearing her father's narration, Miss Winnie was stunned and exclaimed again and again that it was impossible.

Baron Duke, who was on the side, sighed and said: "Alas, Leo is too impulsive, I guess that His Majesty the Emperor and the Ministry of Supervision were just suspicious, and there was no conclusive evidence, otherwise it would not have been just imprisoned and examined, but Leo's escape from prison is like not confessing to himself, and I am afraid that this crime will not be cleared up at all." ”

"And what shall we do now?" asked Miss Winnie, looking at her father and uncle with some confusion.

"Order everyone in the family to reduce going out in the near future, don't cause trouble, and avoid this limelight first. If...... I mean if ......" Viscount Brontë glanced at his precious daughter, paused and continued: "If Leo really runs back to Silverstone, try not to have any contact with him, so as not to get into trouble, you must know that those people in the Supervision Department are now biting around like mad dogs, and we must not lead the whole family to disaster because of personal feelings." ”

"What?father?are you going to give up Leo?" said Miss Winnie, who heard Viscount Brontë's words, and two lines of tears welled up in her eyes.

"Alas~!Winnie, now is not the time to be emotional, you must know that once it is discovered that we are secretly connected with traitors, the entire Brontë family will be uprooted by His Majesty the Enraged Emperor, and the noses of those dogs in the Ministry of Supervision are very smart, and we can't risk the whole family. I know your relationship with Leo, but for the sake of our family, even if I beg you with your father, you must not bring disaster to the family!" Baron Duke said to Winnie with a straight face.

Although she was extremely reluctant, seeing her father and uncle so serious, Winnie could only nod her head sadly and agree. After all, she was born in a famous aristocratic family and was educated by elite nobles, and Miss Winnie was taught to think about the family in everything since she was a child, and only the reproduction and prosperity of the family is the most important, especially girls, who even have to marry other families for the prosperity of the family, and their own fate cannot be grasped by themselves at all. Even though Viscount Brontë has always pampered Winnie, but in the face of such a major event related to the rise and fall of the family, Winnie knows that her father and uncle will never let her willfulness.

"I'm sorry, Leo, for the sake of the family, I can only do this, who would have thought that you would be reduced to being wanted by the Empire!" Winnie silently apologized to Leo in her heart, more to find an excuse for the choice she was about to make.

On the walls of Silverstone City, Willand led the people of the Supervision Branch to inspect the city defenses, especially the inspection of the entrance and exit of the city gates, and he always had a strong premonition in his heart that Leo would definitely return to Silverstone.

"What about the heavily armored soldiers, why didn't you see them?" asked Wieland as he walked, he suddenly asked the captain of the guard on duty.

"Uh~" The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, and said with a little hesitation: "Those heavy soldiers are all Marquis Leo's personal soldiers, and when you declared Marquis Leo a traitor yesterday, they all left, probably returning to Marquis Leo's castle." ”

"Leo's castle?" Wieland's eyes narrowed slightly, he now guarded Silverstone City extremely tightly, but he didn't attack Leo Castle, in order to be able to use the castle to attract Leo, as long as Leo appeared in the castle, he could take the opportunity to take Leo to take it.

"We must pay attention to the inspection of people entering and leaving the city gate, including all vehicles and goods, and we must not let go of anyone who can hide anything. The soldiers on duty on the city wall must also keep their eyes open, and there must be no slack!" Willand commanded the captain of the guard.

He couldn't help but be careless, after all, Silverstone City was Leo's base camp, and Leo was very likely to appear here, and His Majesty the Emperor even directly ordered him through the court mage to arrest Leo. Thinking of this, Wieland's heart was on fire, although Duke Solo also valued him more, but if this matter can be handled well, so that His Majesty the Emperor can remember him, then Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.
