Chapter 137: Talking about the matchmaker
Although Situ Jin didn't care who was the city secretary, at this time, Tias was calm on the surface, but in fact there were many external troubles. In the past few days, Situ Jin has not only redeployed the city defense force, but also increased the patrol force in the border area, [13 battalions] have been sent by him to strictly probe the movements of the Vaal people in neighboring countries and across the Duolun Grand Canyon.
At this time, if the new city secretary has no talent and is messing around, it is something that Situ Jin absolutely does not want to see. Gawain understood Situ Jin's thoughts very well, so he sent Owen to keep a close eye on Bedford's movements, so that the new city secretary would not understand the rules and do something out of the ordinary.
When Owen said that Bedford had not been in the city mansion for a day, he went straight out of the mansion to Mrs. Lee Kerster's house, and the three people present were astonished, and did not understand which Bedford was singing.
The three of them chatted casually for a while, and when they saw that it was getting late, Fielding got up to take his leave.
No sooner had Fielding left than someone came to report to Stuart that Mrs. Lee Kerst had visited. Situ Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, expecting that this lady's visit at this time must have something to do with Bedford.
Situ Jin's guess was really right. But it is said that the reason why Bedford went to see Mrs. Lee Kerst not long after he came to Tias was because he was entrusted by the eldest prince Robert to be a matchmaker for him!
In fact, before Mrs. Lee Kerst married the Marquis of Lee Kerster, the eldest prince Robert had already met Mrs. Lee Kerst at a banquet, and only glanced at Mrs. Lee Kerst from a distance, and Robert was very fond of Mrs. Lee Kerster.
I thought that after a while, I would ask the old emperor to marry him in person, but before he could take action, the elder Woodville, the father of Mrs. Lee Kerster, had already decided to marry his daughter to the Marquis of Lee Kerster.
If the opponent is someone else, Robert may not give up easily, but the Marquis of Lee Kerst has been using money to Robel, for so many years, in order to seize the throne, Robert has to buy officials, install eyeliner, and use money everywhere, if there is no secret funding from the Marquis Lee Kerster, where would he find money to do these things?
With this in mind, Robert reluctantly gave up Mrs. Lee Kerster.
I never thought that this kind of thing had happened to Tias recently, the Marquis of Lee Kerst died of fear, and now Lady Lee Kerst has become celibate again.
Although this lady is no longer innocent, since the death of Marquis Lee Kerst and the arrest and imprisonment of his adopted son Maika, this lady, as the heir to the property of the Li family, has inherited all the property left by Marquis Lee Kerster, and is now the richest man in the empire.
With this in mind, the fact that the Marquis of Lee Kerst was ever married is nothing. In addition, she has a knighthood herself, in the eyes of the eldest prince Robert, it is enough to be worthy of herself. The most important thing is that if you can marry this lady, then all the property in her name will not be her own in the end?
If one day they can sit on the throne of God, then these assets will be filled into the treasury and will greatly increase the financial resources of the state. If there is really any case and he can't sit on the throne, then with these properties, he will also have the capital to make a comeback.
After considering all this, Robert privately summoned Connie Martin to him and told him what he meant.
Martin was appreciated by Robert, of course, not by not being accustomed to Situ Nan, he quickly understood what Robert meant, and went home and secretly asked Bedford, who was about to leave the imperial capital to take office in Tias, to take care of this matter, which led to the scene where Bedford went to visit Mrs. Lee Kerst in the afternoon.
When Szeto Jin saw Mrs. Lee Kerster, she was full of sorrow and worried.
As soon as she saw Stuart, Mrs. Lee Kerst told Stuart what Bedford had told her that afternoon.
Situ Jin looked at Mrs. Li Kerst and said, "This is a good thing! If the eldest prince is really interested in his wife, he will not lose if he marries!"
Hearing Situ Jin's words, Mrs. Lee Kerst looked displeased and said, "If I really want to marry him, why bother to come to you to discuss!?
Seeing that Mrs. Li Kerster's face became more and more ugly, Situ Jin knew that this lady was really unwilling to marry the eldest prince, and said: "Since the lady doesn't want to marry, just refuse the eldest prince, why worry so much?!"
Mrs. Lee Kerst looked at Situ Jin's eyes, those blue eyes were as deep as the starry sky, she was a little distracted, and then sighed, and said: "Now Robert is called the prince of the empire, but in fact he is the monarch of the empire, the difference is nothing more than a title, it is not difficult for me to refuse him, but how can he easily give up?!"
Situ Jin pondered for a long time, and then said: "This is not difficult, it is said that the property surnamed Li is located in many countries on the mainland, if you can't stay in the Yaluo Empire, Madame can go to other countries to live." In this case, even if the eldest prince is really the king of a country, he can only stop with his wife!"
Hearing Situ Jin's words, Mrs. Li Kerster's expression flashed with a hint of unnaturalness, and then she said, "Jin, do you really want me to leave the empire and settle in other countries?"
Situ withdrew his gaze from Mrs. Lee Kerster's face, and did not speak for a moment.
Seeing that Situ Jin did not answer for a long time, Mrs. Lee Kerst sighed slightly, and then turned around and left Situ Jin's villa.
At this time, Gao Wen suddenly walked out from the back of the hall, showed a meaningful smile to Situ Jin, and said, "I just said that this Mrs. Li Kerst is interesting to you, and when I saw it today, it was really so!"
Situ Jin raised his head and glanced at Gao Wen calmly, this action immediately made Gao Wen put away his smile and didn't dare to say another word
Opposite the Grand Canyon in Toron. At this time, it is the early winter season, and the flat sand on the Itan Wasteland is traceless, the grass and trees are not growing, and the vast expanse is desolate from a distance. In this wasteland, the Vaal have been there for thousands of years.
For thousands of years, the Vaal people have lived by herding horses and sheep, and now there are as many as 200,000 descendants.
But as the number of Vaal people increased dramatically, so did the danger faced by the Vaal people. A large number of people means more consumption, and both food and clothing are scarce for the Vaal who have always lived in the barren land of the Itan Wasteland. This has been especially true in recent years, with other seasons being fine and getting worse in winter.
On this day, two men sat in a large white tent on the border between Uta and the Itan Wasteland.
One of them was a Vaal at first glance, this man was tall and broad, with a rough appearance, dozens of long pigtails on his head, and a string of skull necklaces around his neck.
Although the other person was also very strong, he looked like a mainlander, and his originally rough appearance was much softer than the Vaal man sitting opposite him. This man is Uta General Chrif Randall!
