Chapter 48: The Aftermath

Bright lights, a small square table, a delicate dipping pen inlaid with pearl oysters, a very high grade, a special ink mixed with a little ambergris, and a customized version of snow-white letter paper with water-printed patterns.

Yanan's original wife, Madame Dupen, who was born in a certain viscount family of the Saint Sia Empire, sat stiffly at the small square table, and wrote down lines of gorgeous flower-style characters word by word according to Mr. Signes's dictation.

Although I was terrified to the extreme, my muscles were as stiff as rocks because of nervousness and fear.

The instincts cultivated by the strict training of aristocratic ladies from an early age made Madame Dupont's handwriting still gorgeous and fluent, just as she usually wrote letters to her best friends and admired musicians.

The letters were not very long, twenty-two in all, and according to the time of the letters, an average of one every four months, which was a set of long-term correspondence that lasted for seven years.

In the letter, Madame de Dupont, with subtle descriptions, asks Mr. S. Guns certain questions beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, such as how to make one of her pregnant girlfriends silently abort, and these questions are a little wicked, a little inhumane, and no doubt that any true noble lady should not touch these forbidden knowledge.

At the same time, Madame Dupont also expressed her concern for Mr. S. Dignes in her letter.

In a subtle and cautious codeword, she cared about Mr. Ignes' life in the Rittal family, and she earnestly told Mr. Sterns that he could live a 'safe' and 'comfortable' life in the Rittal family.

Write your name, use the family heraldic ring on your finger, and stamp the end of the letter with a secret mark.

Mr. S. Sterns handed Mrs. Dupont twenty-two envelopes of the same very high grade, expensive and beautifully workmanship, on which Mrs. Dupont wrote, in smooth floral letters, 'To my dearest friend and mentor.'

When the envelope was dripping with red fire paint, and when it was half-solidified, the family heraldic ring was used to knock the seal on the fire paint, and Madame Dupen's dignified and beautiful face was already a miserable white, and cold sweat from fear continued to break out all over her body.

"Very well, after these letters are a little old, anyone will believe that you, and your family, have been closely associated with my evil heretic for many years."

Mr. Sgnes put the letters in the pocket on his chest with satisfaction, and nodded to Madame Dupont with a smile.

"In particular, some of the words in it can wash away all suspicions of the Ritu family." Mr. Sgns chuckled softly, "Look at these delicate sentences, dear lady, you know that I am hiding in the Ritu family, and tell me to be careful and to be safe. ”

"The Ritu are blinded, they are victims, they know nothing about heresy."

Mr. S. Sterns whistled, "So, your Excellency Yanan, if you leak anything about me...... Your lady is a friend of mine, then, according to the consistent thinking of the kingdom of St. Sia and the Church of the Golden Oak, you are an accomplice of heresy. ”

"If you don't want your whole family to be burned at the stake, you will definitely protect everything you see and hear today, right?"

Yanan trembled all over, and trembled and squeezed out a word from his throat: "Yes!" ”

Jo took off his coat and shirt, and the grimace shopkeeper took a white cloth dipped in alcohol and wiped the sword wounds that Myers had inflicted on him.

The wound had been closed, and as the handkerchief was wiped and the alcohol was soaked, the blood scab dissolved, and blood flowed down the wound again. After the shopkeeper wiped the wound clean, he applied his secret knife wound medicine to it.

A cool and comfortable feeling hit, and Joe's body quickly absorbed the scarlet evil qi remaining in the room. The internal muscles of the wounds that had been smeared with knife medicine were squirming, and most of the wounds had healed.

He quietly watched the whole set of operations of Mr. Si Gengs before, he was no stranger to this kind of thing, but he was not as skilled and professional as Mr. Si Gengs to do.

These letters are nothing more than a letter of nomination, but a 'contract of insurance'.

For the safety of Madame Dupont, and the two lovers of His Excellency Yanan, and his sons and daughters, these means were indispensable for Jo to release them with more confidence.

"Your Excellency Yanan, I am very satisfied with what you just said." Qiao said indifferently: "I keep my promise, I will release your family, but you, I will temporarily detain you, transfer you as a witness, transfer you to the Mid-Autumn Blood Investigation Team, and finally hand it over to the Foreign Affairs Department to deal with." ”

"At your request, for our safety and for your safety. Your wife and eldest daughter, they are all adults, and they know what to say and what not to say. Jo looked at Madame Dupen, and then at the handsome girl who stood behind Madame Dupon, with a pale face.

"But your lovers, and these innocent, young ones, at your request, will be sent afterwards to the 'Prisoner of the Vena Islands', an overseas colony of the Saint Sia Empire. You have an industry over there, so they can live and work in peace and contentment, and they won't talk nonsense, right? ”

Yanan muttered, "Your kindness and generosity have touched me inexplicably, esteemed Your Excellency Joe. Yes, imprison the Wiener Islands, and when everything is settled, send them over there. ”

"The family of San Frando, there is a small island over there that is completely mine, with a castle, a sugar cane plantation, a sugar beet garden, and an agave garden, and the annual output is so good that they can live like a real nobleman."

Yanan looked at the two lovers who were close together, and sighed heavily: "This is for your good." If Mr. Steel's identity is revealed, even if it is just one sentence, our St. Frando family will be all finished, and you will be all finished......"

"You are different from Dupen, you little women, you are too fond of gossip, too easy to be open-mouthed. Go, go, go to the Vena Islands, and you'll be fine. ”

Joe sat on a wooden stool, letting the grimace shopkeeper do something to his wounds.

A team of guards from the Vetu family walked in and escorted Yanan's two lovers and children out of the room, taking the body of the girl who had been killed.

After the investigation of the Mid-Autumn Bloody Case is completed and the port of Tulum is reopened, a fleet of ships from the Rose Chamber of Commerce of the Vettu family will leave for the Wiena Islands and carry a letter from Yanan.

In the Wiener Islands, there are Yanan's henchmen and subordinates, who can properly accommodate these women and children.

"Although those boring knightly novels tell me that I should kill people, I am not a demon." Qiao sighed heavily, shook his head at Yanan and said, "Innocent women and children, I can't do such a vicious thing. ”

Rubbing his hands vigorously, Qiao smiled and looked at Yanan: "As I said, I am a benevolent person. You see, I even asked the grimace shopkeeper to help your son attach his legs before he took care of my wounds. ”

"Tsk, damn Myers."

Cursing Myers, Joe's expression became serious: "So, now, Lord Yanan, you can tell me where you put that survey report, right?" ”

Joe looked at Yanan very seriously: "You insisted on letting me send your lover and children away before telling me the exact place of storage...... I don't think there's any point in doing that, they're still in my hands, are they? ”

Yanan's voice became extremely slight: "But, at least, give me the last bit of insignificant decency." ”

Joe's eyes widened, he looked at Yanan, who was covered in bruises and weak breath, and spread his hands puzzled: "In front of your lover and children, you are already like this...... The last decency? Well, nobles, this is the aristocracy, then ......"

Jo glanced at Madame Dupen, and the only daughter of Yanan and Madame Dupen, "Do you need them to leave too?" ”

"I refuse!" Madame Dupont stood at the small square table where she had just written, and with a hint of aristocrat's pride and stubbornness, she said coldly: "I refuse to leave, I want to know, my dear husband, His Excellency Yanan, who has plunged his family into infinite shame and danger, what kind of dignity he wants to keep!" ”

Qiao spread out his hands and said helplessly to Yanan: "Then, it is impossible for me to treat a noble lady violently...... What is there that your wife cannot know, Lord Anan? ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Joe patted his stomach and said sincerely: "My father, Master Hesse, the head of the Ritu family, has told me many times that my brother and I should not have any reservations about our wives. ”

Yanan's face twitched, and he was silent for a moment, and then said dryly: "To the east of the Grand Place of the Queen, opposite the New Opera House in Port Tulum, 47 Palm Tree Street, Miss Vilenya...... She's, my ...... Lover, that survey report, in her safe. ”

Joe's mouth opened wide and let out a 'whoa' exclamation.

Myers found Yanan's two invitees, but he didn't expect that he was hiding a third!!

With a cigar in his mouth, his teeth that were about to light a cigarette with a match trembled with his right hand, almost burning his eyebrows.

The most indifferent and evil Si Gens also raised his eyebrows sharply: "Damn, the heroine of the most popular opera "The Merchant of Nice" recently, Miss Vilenya, such a pure and innocent girl, is actually your lover?" ”

Si Gens said angrily: "I really want to peel your skin! ”

Madame Dupont put her hands on her chest, gritted her teeth, and let out three sneers from between her teeth, 'heh, he, he', and then fell to the ground and fainted.

"Father!" Yanan's eldest daughter roared angrily, "Miss Vilenya, even a year younger than me! ”

"Shameless, nobleman, your name is shameless!" The delicate eldest lady rolled her eyes and fainted like her mother.

"It's in the nature of men." Yanan explained to Qiao a little broken: "Especially nobles, men with money, power, and resources, who is not like this? ”

Joe sighed, "Perhaps, I'm just a boy." ”

"Now, Lord Yanan, let's go get this damn survey report." Joe muttered, "Also, is there anything else you'd like to add?" ”

Yanan pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Supplemented? Perhaps, there are ...... The Navy Headquarters of the Kingdom of Santa Sia, the list of hidden lines in the port of Tulum, do you need it? ”

Yanan's voice became extremely erratic: "I only need a promise from you. ”
