Lodi? The butler of the Duke's Palace?

Lin Lei and Bernard, the patriarch of the Debs family, were a little shocked in their hearts.

There was silence in the chamber, and everyone waited for Lodi to be escorted over.

However, a middle-aged man with long blue hair walked in under the escort of the palace guards, this middle-aged man had a haggard face, his hair was slightly messy, and he looked a little depressed.

However, Bernard recognized at a glance that this person was none other than Lodi, the butler of the Duke's Mansion who had been looking for him some time ago.

"Lodi, you honestly explain the matter again." Clyde asked directly at Lodi.

This Lodi had obviously explained to Clyde a long time ago, and apparently he only let Lin Lei and the others hear it.

Lodi replied very honestly, "Your Majesty, on the eighteenth of June, the Duke was invited to attend the engagement banquet held by the Debs family, and after that, the Duke never returned. ”

"Lodi, you stand aside first." Clyde said coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lodi looked a little panicked and hurriedly stepped aside.

Clyde's gaze swept to the eight nobles below.

"According to what I have found, you were the last people to leave on the night of the Debs family's engagement banquet.

I want to ask, have you ever seen Padson? ”

Clyde's question is simple.

"As soon as the banquet was over, Parderson was the first to leave."

The left minister, 'Bernard', replied without thinking.

Lin Lei also nodded: "I also saw that Parderson left early. ”

A few others either said they didn't see each other, or that Paderson left early.

Hearing everyone say this, Clyde smiled and nodded, and looked at Lodi next to him: "Lodi, you go on." ”

"Yes." Lodi added, "Duke Padderson told me before he went to the Debs family mansion that he was going to meet someone who was very important to him, but this matter was too important for anyone else to know.

So he ordered me to arrange a puppet and return to the Duke's palace under the guise of the Duke.

In fact, the Duke is still in the Debs family. ”

"The Duke also said that the Debs family would arrange a secret place for him to meet people."

Lodi added.

This sentence immediately made Bernard, the patriarch of the Debs family, pale.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Bernard hurriedly said, "This has nothing to do with me, Lord Duke, he told me that he wanted to meet someone, so let me arrange a secret place." I had to arrange it. ”

"Bernard, don't worry, I won't wronged anyone." Clyde said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bernard immediately stepped aside, but his face was a little pale.

Clyde looked at Lin Lei and a few people: "Paderson, he wants to meet someone, this person should naturally have some identity, who will he meet?"

I think it's likely that the guest left late that day. ”

Lin Lei's heart was shocked.

Duke Bernard, Earl Juno, Marquis of Hampton and others all looked at Clyde in surprise.

They had a little guess as to why His Majesty had invited them over.

"Your Majesty, we haven't met with Duke Paderson."

Duke Bernard, Hampton and others hurriedly said one after another.

Clyde smiled and said, "I'm just suspicious, you haven't done anything wrong, what are you worried about?"

Look, among your group, Lin Lei is the calmest. ”

Lin Lei smiled indifferently and did not make a sound.

Uncle Bai Ge is right, strength is the first place!

Clyde glanced at the group of people and sneered in his heart: "I don't care who Pardson was missing."

Instead, I would like to thank that man for giving me the best chance of destroying the secret network that Parderson had built. ”

As Clyde's younger brother, Duke Paderson has been the Chancellor of the Exchequer for many years, establishing an extremely dense network of relationships and great influence on the Kingdom of Finlay.

Years ago, the Debs family assassinated a court minister for the sake of the family.

And this court minister, as it happens, is Clyde's money bag.

This matter is going to be exposed, and the Debs family is finished.

The Debs family had such a handle in the hands of Duke Padson, so they had to provide funds and manpower for Padson to smuggle water jade mines.

As for the profit share of smuggling, it is secondary.

After all, unlike the original book, the Debs family has not been suppressed by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

It stands to reason that there is no need to risk being raided and exterminated to do such a thing.

However, without Alice, the cause planted by the Debs family in the past brought them the same result and fate.

Bai Ge, who secretly took in all of this, comprehended the rules of fate a little more, and was one step closer to becoming a god.

Destiny is high, whether it is heaven, earth, people, gods, ghosts, all of them are in it, in the underworld, they have their own tracks.

But this trajectory is not unbreakable.

The most direct thing is that there is a powerhouse in the Holy Realm in the Debs family, and everything is solved.

Just like the original four ultimate warriors Baruch and others, they are just mediocre ordinary people, destined to die a good life, dust to dust, and dust to earth.

As a result, the main god-level boss Beirut made a move, and their fate changed as a result.

The weak, but they can only be at the mercy of others all their lives......

Fate...... It's fickle and obscure.

Bai Ge, who was paying attention to all this, sighed secretly.

Clyde looked at Lin Lei and a few others, and said with a smile: "I had to investigate the disappearance of my second brother Paderson, however, the most surprising thing for me was that I found out a lot of things.

Lodi, in particular, told a lot of secrets. ”

There was silence in the room.

"Lodi, tell them about it." Clyde smiled at Lodi.

At this moment, Clyde is complacent, and the death of a brother is nothing to Clyde.

Importantly...... He finally had complete control over the entire kingdom again.

Lodi said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the reason why Duke Padderson went to the engagement banquet of the Debs family that day. is to meet the mysterious person and get in touch with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

So...... The person he saw must have a close relationship with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Do you want to know, why did my second brother get involved with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce?" Clyde smiled and looked at the people below, "Lodi, you go on. ”

"Yes." Lodi was obviously completely convinced by Clyde, and what did he say, "Duke Padson has done a lot of things that betray the interests of the kingdom over the years, just to satisfy his personal desires. Especially just a few months ago, I also started smuggling water jade ore on a large scale with the Debs family, which is the largest smuggling of water jade ore in the history of my Finlay Kingdom. ”

"Bang!"

Bernard, the patriarch of the Debs family, knelt down directly and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you have been wronged."

Our Debs family has always followed the rules in doing business, and has never done anything that betrays the interests of the country.

Our Debs family has been wronged. ”

"Wronged?" Clyde gave Bernard a cold look.

"Bring the Ransil brothers up." The Debs family shouted outside.

Bernard, the patriarch of the Debs family, suddenly lost his blood when he heard the name 'Ransil'.

……

"Someone came, and put Bernard and the heirs of the Debs family in Blackwater.

As for the case of the Debs family's smuggling, let the right minister 'Merritt' investigate. ”

Clyde coldly gave the order.

Suddenly, the palace guards escorted Bernard down.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is discerning."

When Bernard was escorted out, he shouted at Clyde.

……

On this night, the green leaf road was completely noisy.

The sound of horses' hooves and shouts continued to sound, and a team of hundreds of knights directly surrounded the Debs family's mansion, causing everyone in the Debs family to panic.

"What to do, what to do! Do you know what this place is? ”

Karan's second grandfather, who was Bernard's second uncle, immediately scolded the palace guards.

One of the knights at the head said coldly: "Your Majesty's order, you dare to block it?" ”

The second grandfather raised his head and said, "Your Majesty's order? Who knows if you are falsely passing on His Majesty's order, saying, "What are you here for?" ”

"Second grandfather, what's wrong outside?"

At this time, many members of the Debs family poured over.

The entire Debs family, hundreds of people inside and outside poured into the front yard, and most of them had bewildered faces on their faces.

Only the core, the few who knew about the family's smuggling, were horrified.

The scale of the Debs family's smuggling is very large.

The gold coins used alone are enough to tens of millions.

Once successful, the profit is hundreds of millions of gold coins.

According to the idea of the Debs family, it is enough to earn once.

Unexpectedly, this time, something went wrong.

The knight team from the palace had already assembled outside, and the leader of the knight squadron saw that so many people had gathered, so he took out a token from his bosom and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, the Debs family is suspected of smuggling water jade ore, and now, I am ordered to arrest the patriarch of the Debs family and the heir into the Blackwater Prison." ”

Suddenly, the faces of a group of people in the Debs family changed.

In particular, several people in the core of the family such as Karan were even more pale, while Alice, Rowling, and the people on the side of the family were all confused and stunned.

Several guards grabbed Karan directly.

"Take it away!"

The Knight Squadron Leader shouted directly.

Karan felt his legs go limp, and he just let the guards escort him towards the door.

But when he walked to the door, Karan suddenly woke up, turned around and shouted anxiously: "Second grandfather, Alice, you must save me, you must save me." ”

No matter how Karan shouted, the palace guards still ruthlessly escorted him to the prison car.

Alice, Rowling, and the entire Debs family could only watch as Karan was taken away, but nothing could be done. Their family is powerful, but how can they compete with His Majesty the King?

————————————————

The next morning, the news of the Debs family's suspicion of smuggling water jade ore quickly spread throughout the aristocratic circles of Finlay City, and most of the nobles in the entire Finlay City paid attention to this matter.

And this smuggling case was personally examined by the right minister of the kingdom, Duke 'Merit'.

The residence of Lord Merritt.

Lord Merritt is over seventy years old, but he is a relatively good fighter. Just looking at the appearance of a middle-aged person, the short blonde hair is even more vertical and shiny.

At this moment, Merritt was sitting in a chair, casually glancing at the Debs family who was sitting next to her, Caran's second grandfather 'Nimitz'.

Nimitz is still very influential in the Debs family. Karan was also taught by Nimitz.

"Lord Merritt, our family is absolutely wronged, I hope you can give our Debs family a fair one."

Nimitz said, taking out a book from the side: "Lord Merritt, I know you like to collect Bibles, and my book is a version issued by the Holy See of Light more than three thousand years ago, which is still relatively rare. ”

"Oh, the Bible?"

Merritt took it casually, but when she flipped through it, Merritt suddenly found that there was a card mixed in with it, the magic crystal card issued by the Four Nations Gold Bank!

There was a smile on Merritt's face.

Nimitz carefully observed Merit's expression, Meritt closed the Bible, put it aside, and then smiled: "Nimitz, you should know that in addition to the Bible, I also like beautiful women."

I saw Alice at your family's engagement ceremony, I don't know...... Can I talk to Alice alone? ”

Talk to Alice alone? Is the Debs family suspected of smuggling, and what's the use of talking to Alice? Obviously this Merritt has bad intentions. Nimitz has also experienced storms and waves, and his heart is naturally like a mirror.

Nimitz's eyes narrowed as she looked at Merritt.

Merritt, on the other hand, lay comfortably in her chair, and did not even glance at Nimitz with her eyes closed. Merritt's attitude is clear - she wants your family to clear her name, and let Alice come and talk to me.

Nimitz pondered for a moment, then smiled, "Lord Merritt wants to talk to Alice?" Okay, I'll go back and talk to Alice. ”

When Merritt, who had been closing her eyes and recuperating herself, heard this, she couldn't help but open her eyes and looked at Nimitz next to her with a smile: "Haha, then Nimitz, please go back first."

Just let Alice talk to me individually, and I think I'll get to know you Debs better. ”

Nimitz immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Then Lord Merit, I will take my leave first, and our Debs family will ask your Excellency." ”

Merritt nodded slightly.

Nimitz immediately retreated.

Merit, the right-hand minister of the kingdom of Finlay, was made a duke.

The esteem of status, which is higher than his status in the kingdom of Finlay, can be counted on one hand.

What kind of woman has never seen a character like him.

Merritt does like women, and although he is in his seventies now, compared to the lifespan of two or three hundred years for a powerful warrior, he is only in his seventies now, and he is the most energetic and energetic.

Merritt alone has twelve wives. But there is a more popular view among the aristocracy -

The wife at home is not as good as the lover outside, and the lover outside is not as good as what he can't get.

What you can't get is the best.
