Chapter 448: Helpless

Tugger and Schward stood in front of Lorlist: "My lord, find out. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lorist handed a signed document to Shi Fatzi on the side, his face was indifferent: "Say, who ......is involved?"

Schward opened the blue folder in his hand and took out a piece of paper: "Your Highness, Moya, the wife of Knight Svig, the wife of the Jussky steward, Sethra and Miss Kolado, and the wife of the Knight of Rumbold, Tessie." These three ladies were the most frequent guests to visit Madame Marek. As the adults said, they visited at least three times in ten days, and they were deliberately to curry favor with and befriend Mrs. Marek. According to our investigation, the wives of these three families are all from the maids of Lady Irina of Maple Grove Villa, and the steward of Yusky is also from Maple Grove Villa's servants......"

"What happened to Svig and Rambold, how did they marry Irina's maid?" Lorist angrily broke the quill in his hand and threw it to the ground, he remembered that these two knights, both refugees on the northbound road, became the guards of the guard battalion after joining the team, and accepted them as family knights when their fighting spirit cultivation broke through to the silver rank, and then was assigned to the Rock Legion as a captain. And now Lambard is about to be promoted to the post of battalion commander because of his merits.

"Your Highness, Knight Sveg and Knight Rambold knew their two current ladies when they were still guards at Maple Grove Villa, and later asked Lady Irina to marry them, but they were refused. Four years ago, after the Lord took Young Master Leskett and fostered him in the knight's estate of Baron Malek, Lady Irina sent someone to find Knight Svig and Knight Rambold, and agreed to marry the two maids to them......

I remember that Knight Svig once boasted to people in the tavern, saying that his new wife was very considerate to him, and that the Rock Legion was stationed in Hongheyuan at that time, and his wife was reluctant to part with him, so she deliberately sold the house in Fengleyuan and moved to Hongheyuan, so that he could return home and reunite when he was not on duty. After the acquaintance of Madame Marek, the wives of the two knights, as well as the lady of the Jusky steward, often visited the house, drank afternoon tea together, made snacks and picnics......

The investigators in charge of recording the daily life of Young Master Leskett did not find anything unusual about their actions, because they were the relatives of the knights of the family, and deliberately avoided their activities, and did not pay much attention to the communication between them and Lesket. It was only when we went to check this time that the two investigators remembered that Master Leskett seemed to have a very good relationship with them, and that the young master was very happy every time they went to visit Mrs. Malek......"

The more Tagger reported, the softer his voice became, and his head lowered. This is a big omission. Lorist strictly ordered Irina of Maple Grove not to interfere in Lesquet's upbringing and education, but a small detour of Irina still achieved her goal, and none of this went unnoticed. None of this would have gone unnoticed if Lorist had sensed that the visitors on the surveillance records had visited Mrs. Malek too often to become suspicious. For Targer, who is in charge of the Norton family's intelligence efforts, this is a slap in the face.

"Who's that Yusky butler?" asked Lorist coldly.

Schward looked at the information in the folder and replied: "Your Highness, Yusky was originally a servant of Maple Grove Villa, but because of his literacy, he was promoted by Director Hansk and became a treasury steward. His first wife, who was also a maid at Maple Grove Villa, died of illness after giving birth to her daughter, Corador. In Maple Grove Villa, he is known for his loyalty, honesty, diligence and responsibility.

After Young Master Leskett was fostered in Baron Malek's house, Director Hansk told him that Lady Irina would marry Sersla, the lady-in-waiting in charge of the kitchen, to him as a second wife, and at the same time transferred Steward Yusky to Hongheyuan as an official in charge of the management of the servants of the Eight Knights' Manor, and took this opportunity to get acquainted with Lady Malek. Because of his wife's outstanding cooking skills, Lady Malek was often invited by Lady Marek, and the two ladies of Knight Sveg and Knight Rambold met Lady Marek through their relationship with Lady Mulsk......"

"Needless to say!" Lorist angrily swept the papers and ink on the table to the ground: "It's really good, and before I know it, I have woven a big net." No wonder Leskett was so harshly disciplined by Mrs. Malek that she still did not change her nature, and learned to do a thing in front of her face and a thing behind her back......"

Lorist walked around the study with a gloomy face, and Fat Smith, Tagger, and Schward were all silent. They knew that Lorist was holding a fire in his heart, and he didn't know when it would strike.

"Chief Schreid, what do you think I should do with these people?" Lorist asked suddenly.

Shi Fatzi sighed secretly: "Your Highness, why bother? Now that Young Master Leskett has been sent back to Maple Forest Villa by you, he has been punished." As for the two knights, Sveig and Rambold, they did not know. Just like the Yusky steward, he was indeed a loyal and honest and diligent family official.

All this was done by their wife, who was following Lady Irina's instructions. If you punish them, they are neither aware nor wrong, even if you are the head of the Norton family, you can't anger others for no reason as you want, and punish their lady ......" Shi Fat Man smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, it's not wrong that they care about Young Master Lesket, and there is no good excuse to punish them, but it will affect your reputation and be gossiped about ......"

Shi Fatzi is right, this matter is not easy to talk about in the open, no matter who listens to it, they will think that Irina just cares about her son and sends someone to take care of her, which is also human nature.

Lorist reluctantly walked around the study a few times again, and finally stopped: "Director Schreid, write an order, ordering the two knights of Sveig, Rambold, and the three of Yusky to take their families to serve in the Haneyabada Islands on May 1 next year for a period of ten ......years."

Well, this is equivalent to exile, the Hanea Bada Islands are far away from the mainland of Gelintya, isolated overseas, far away, and it takes more than a month to come and go by boat.

Shi Fatzi shook his head with a wry smile, understanding that Lorist was uncomfortable at this moment: "Okay, I'll write it, what about their treatment?"

"Just like everyone else. Lorist replied, then turned his head and instructed Targer: "Targer, our family should not send troops in the next two years, this year's war has just ended, and we need to let our family soldiers rest." So the external intelligence can be relaxed. You are responsible for assisting Schward in setting up an internal security department to clean up all the relationships within our family. If there are any similarities and those who have an ongoing relationship with Maple Grove Villa, please give me the list, and I am sure that when they all arrive in the Hanea Bada Islands, they will be happy to have so many acquaintances as companions. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Tugger and Schwartz replied.

After Schward and Tugel exited the study, Shi Fatzi comforted: "Your Highness, this matter should not cause a storm in the city......

Lorist sat down and stroked his head: "Alas, you don't understand, so many people in the family opposed my marriage to Celivia back then, and I felt that something was not quite right. It turned out that just when I thought that the family situation was thriving, someone had woven such a web behind my back without even realizing it, which really surprised me. I didn't expect that little maid to have grown into such a scheming lady......"

Shi Fatzi shut up and pretended that he hadn't heard, after all, this was Lorlist's family matter, and as the chief knight and administrator of the Norton family, it was not easy for him to casually express his opinions and opinions.

Lorist looked at Shi Fatzi's deaf look and laughed: "So this time I want to cut off all the tentacles that she stretched out." I really don't know how thick the sky is, I would even think of using my own maid to envelop my family knights, and in the future, I will go to the Hanea Bada Islands to weave a network of maid relationships. ”

"Alright, don't pretend you can't hear. Lorist said to Shi Fatty: "You urge, let Tagger and Schward first check the personnel of this Angry Bear City and Cherry Blossom Ridge Villa, even if there are relatives in Maple Grove Villa, and those who are promoted by the director of Hansk, you are responsible for arranging these personnel who have been cleared up to other places, I need to ensure the absolute safety of Celivia and Anderbell's mother and son." ”

Shi Fatzi was moved and nodded: "Understood, Your Highness." ”

Lorist leaned back in his chair: "It's the New Year's celebration in a few days, and it is estimated that Philim, Kenmax, and Henned's guys will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Are you ready for the banquet and the reception?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, we are well prepared. However, Duke Kenmax and the Duke of Kenmath should not live in the city mansion anymore if they want to come, and they have bought homesteads in the aristocratic district and built their own estates. The manor of Duke Kenmax is the most luxurious and largest one, and it has been constantly transporting some materials for more than a month. According to the steward, the Duke of Kenmax was to continue the balls and feasts on his estate after our New Year's feast until the winter had passed. ”

"This guy is this kind of temperament, he likes to be lively and enjoyable, and the gold coins spent on these balls and banquets can raise another legion. Lorist said hatefully, sometimes I think about it, I envy Duke Kenmeth's pursuit of pleasure, this guy has no heart and lungs, except for the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, everything else is a sky falling and Lorist is on top, he has no fear of attitude.

In 1784, the Norton family in the Northland held a grand New Year's celebration that lasted for seven days and seven nights, which was the first time in two years that the Norton family held a New Year's celebration again, and once again canonized fourteen territorial barons and seven honorary barons. At the same time, nearly 100 nobles from other places were converted to the titles of the Norton family, simply because they had purchased homesteads in the newly developed fourth aristocratic district on the eastern outskirts of Raging Bear City......

Seven days after the New Year's feast, Lorist hosted another banquet to officiate at the wedding of his beloved apprentice Schward and Duke Philim's beloved daughter Caterina. Duke Philim announced in front of nearly a thousand nobles and guests who came to attend the wedding that he would combine the Podolic Mountains of the Southern Province of the Philipp family into one viscount and give his beloved daughter Catalina as a dowry, which made many noble guests envious and made Duke Fisabarun who came to attend the New Year's celebration and wedding furious, but the old man still endured it and did not have a seizure.

Archduke Fisabrun was surprised to arrive in the Northland at the end of the year to attend the Norton family's New Year's celebrations. But he couldn't refuse, no matter how to say that the Grand Duke of Fisabrun is also the grandfather of Princess Celevia, even Princess Celevia does not want to see her grandfather, but the Grand Duke of Celebron is accompanied by the Elder Swordsman of Centy, Princess Celevia is still very filial to this adoptive mother who raised her, but she feels extremely troubled and helpless about the bad relationship between the Elder Swordsman of Cindy and Lorist.

Lorist felt a little embarrassed to receive the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, and when he went out to the Central Four Duchyes, he had dealings with the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, and it can be said that they were all in the camp of the Kingdom of Andinac, and being appointed as the front-line commander by His Royal Highness required sincere cooperation. Even though the relationship has eased and there is still contact with each other, in Lorist's heart, he still regards the Fisabrun family as the most threatening enemy of the four alliances of the Northlands, an opponent who needs to be vigilant at all times.

But after Princess Celevia gave birth to little Anderbell, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun seemed to have really become a relative of Lorlist, and this change made Lorist very uncomfortable, and he could only slander the old man in his stomach for being so thick-skinned that he really regarded himself as an elder. But he can't help it, he can't turn his face and drive people away, so he has to greet each other with a smile every day, and treat each other with good wine and food.

Archduke Fisabrun went to the Northland to attend the Norton family's New Year's celebration this time, which was also considered a generous gift, with an order of nearly two million goldfords. Only this time he resolutely refused to agree to purchase goods at four or five times the price as he did last time, and demanded that the transaction be carried out at the normal market price, otherwise he would hand over this purchase order to His Second Highness.

His Royal Highness has just recovered eleven provinces in the central part of the country, and workshops such as the former Duchy of Handla, the Duchy of Forendor and the Duchy of Fakel have always been very prosperous, even if the craftsmen of the Duchy of Fakr were looted by Lorist, but if the Grand Duke of Fisabrun really handed over this purchase order worth two million gold fords to His Second Highness, it would play a leading role in restoring the economy of the eleven provinces, and His Royal Highness would definitely be very happy.

This treacherous old fellow, Lorist sighed. The Fisabrun family took refuge in the camp of the Second Highness and himself belonging to the same Kingdom of Antinac, which was really a very clever breakthrough, and made all of his suppression of the Fisabrun family come to naught.

Lorist knew very well in his heart that the Archduke of Fisabrun was also a gesture of goodwill by handing over this purchase order to himself, and the Duke of Kenmax had long been unable to hold back his desire to drip, although he could not make a million in half like last time, but the big transaction of two million Kingford could still make a profit of three or four hundred thousand at the market price.

Grand Duke Fisabrun gave Lorist a heavy blow again, and he proposed that the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce could be allowed to organize a caravan to go to the Eastern Wilderness Prairie every year to hold a trading fair, and trade directly with the grass barbarian tribe, and the safety of the caravan was taken care of by the Fisabulun family......

Duke Kenmax almost held Lorlist's feet and begged him to agree, and he said to Lorist with red eyes: "Do you know how much profit it means to be able to do business directly with the grass barbarian tribe?"

Lorist kicked him away helplessly, looked up and said to the Grand Duke of Fisabrun: "Well, you have won, I agree to your request." ”
