Stared at by Louvi, Sherlock had never been so flustered, and he was unsteady when he went down the stairs, but fortunately he was helped by Anna. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Charlotte's expression was wrong, Anna asked.

Charlotte shook her head, gave her a look, and hurried away without saying a word. She hurried back to the inn as fast as she could, panting and locking herself in her room.

That guy is terrible!

The eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

She was almost certain that he was the one who had stolen the girls.

But he can freely enter and exit Momiji's hall, so it can be seen that he is a person close to Momiji.

To testify against such a person, it is absolutely useless to just talk about it, she needs absolute evidence.

There was a knock on the door, and Anna hurried over.

"What is the matter with you being so anxious for me to come to you?" Anna asked.

Charlotte led Anna into the room, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, she said slowly: "I suspect that the person named David is the murderer." ”

Anna was taken aback, and then asked, "Is there any evidence?"

Charlotte shook her head: "There is no direct evidence. But you can use your right to search the Lord's Mansion where they are hiding, and I'm sure there's a good chance those girls are hiding somewhere in the Lord's Mansion. ”

"Hey, that's not going to be easy!" Anna frowned.

"What's wrong?" said Charlotte.

"Lord Momiji's father, Lord Matthew, is here, and he has brought his seven older brothers, and I think Sequoia Town is in trouble this time. The matter of investigating the case may have to be put on hold for the time being. ”

How so?

Charlotte let out a long sigh and suddenly heard the news, and she fell into hesitation.

Matthew and his seven sons come to Redwoods out of the blue, and anyone who isn't stupid knows that something big is coming.

Should she leave town now to avoid getting into trouble, or should she stay and continue to complete the task that Master Renault has given her while watching the situation unfold?

Thinking of the recent difficulties in grain procurement, she has a very bad premonition.

Staying in Sequoia Town can also serve as the eyes and ears of Lord Renault......

Thinking of this, her little hands gripped the skirt tightly and secretly made up her mind.

......

In the hall of the Redwood Town Lord's Mansion, the dim candlelight makes people feel unusually oppressive.

Led by Matthew, the lords of the Tuke Basin gathered together to eat a fine dinner in silence, the occasional subtle sound of the cutlery touching the plate could be heard clearly.

Matthew was a very traditional old man, so he didn't allow anyone to speak or make strange noises during meals.

This is the rule of the Tuke family, and although it is a bit dull, everyone is used to eating in such an atmosphere.

Momiji absentmindedly cut a piece of tender lamb chop and dipped it in a little pepper sauce and put it in his mouth.

From a very young age, she did not like to eat with her father.

Bang dang -

There was a crisp thud that almost pierced the dull air, and a servant accidentally dropped a plate on the ground.

Old Matthew frowned in displeasure, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

The servant hurriedly lay on the ground to clean up the scraps of the plates, and the nervousness and panic already made her sweat and her hands and feet tremble.

Angering Lord Matthew is not as simple as being kicked out of the Lord's Mansion, she will even be thrown from a maple tree and whipped for two hours.

Jingle Bell -

There was another crunch, and old Matthew threw the cutlery on the plate, and said in a deep voice in an old and hoarse voice, "Don't eat it." ”

Everyone consciously put down the utensils and waited for his next lecture.

"Our Tuke family has lived on this plain for hundreds of years, and we have always lived a life without a fight, and even the temple has some respect for us. When old Matthew spoke, his eyes were fixed on the red leaves, "But recently, I heard that some of you went to cooperate with people with foreign surnames in order to earn a few gold coins, and also wanted to sell him all the grain in the Tuke Basin. ”

Momiji sneered in his heart, his father really came for Renault's business, and he made such a big battle.

She glared at David, who was standing not far away.

He wasn't in Redwood Town some time ago, and most likely went to the Red Keep to file a complaint.

"Momiji, I think you should explain this to me and your brothers. ”

"Father-sama!" Momiji stood up from his seat, "I do have a relationship with Lord Renault in Black Iron Town, but this is good for the Tuke Basin. ”

"What's the advantage?

"First of all, we are at least not worried about the sales of food. ”

"Is our food too much to sell?" Momiji's youngest brother, Fell, asked with a smile.

"But we can sell it for a higher price, and Renault won't owe it. ”

"Momiji, I'm really disappointed in you this time. Matthew said coldly, "Have you ever thought about who the grain in the Tuke Basin should be sold to if you lose our current buyer, once Renault and you turn against you?"

Without giving her a chance to defend herself, Fell interjected and asked, "My dear sister, don't you know how to make wine? Why do you sell him grain to make wine?"

"Renault's wine is better than that of Sequoia Town. "Hongye said very sincerely, for the cooperation with Renault, she didn't want to have anything to hide in front of her family, "His wine can be sold for a higher value and make greater profits, now I am the 'general agent' of Liucui Wine, our Tuke Plain, in addition to producing food for nearly a thousand years, many items need to be purchased from merchants, if Liucui Wine opens a market in the Oro Continent, our people can also ......"

"Shut up, are you a fool!" interrupted Matthew, shouting, "If you don't have Renault's wine, your wine is the best!"

"No, that's not the case!" Momiji said in a deep voice, knowing that it was useless, she still couldn't help but argue, "In the past, we also made wine, not to mention selling well in the entire Oro Continent, there are many opponents in the Western Realm alone. But Renault did it, and in less than three months, wine merchants from all over the continent came to visit......"

"Nonsense! You buried your own market with your own hands in order to earn a few more gold coins. If Renault turns against you, not only will you not be able to sell food, but you will also be unable to sell wine! What will you do then?"

"Renault won't. Momiji said resolutely, "I sell the wine, every merchant I handle, every road of transportation, I set, Renault is just making wine, I am the one who sells the wine, this is a business that is beneficial to both parties, if Renault dares to repent, I am confident that his business will not be done! Besides, I think Renault is not such a short-sighted person, the cooperation of Liucui wine is just the beginning......"

"How do you know he's not going to go back?Is he your father?Is it your brother?"

Momiji was also angered, and sneered: "Father, brother, if I'm not mistaken, when I first arrived in Sequoia Town, the grain warehouse was about to be broken. I beg you to introduce me to merchants, and I beg you to lend me ships and wharves. But how do you do it? In order to protect your own interests, you don't let me use the river transport, and you don't let the grain merchants come to Redwood. If I hadn't learned how to make wine, would Redwood Town have any other way to go than sell grain to my brothers at a low price?"

"Presumptuous!" Matthew slammed the table.
