The next morning, at Lawrence's home.

Lawrence walked out of the bedroom in his dressing gown and couldn't help but yawn sleepily.

After the series of events of yesterday, Lawrence barely slept well that night, after all, the presence of the earl of England was like a ticking time bomb for Lawrence.

Lawrence, in particular, did not know when, where, or against whom the bomb would explode.

Leaning on the railing on the second floor and rubbing his eyes for a while, Lawrence looked down into the living room and found that Anna had gotten up early, and was now lying on the dining table intently copying a large pile of papers.

After Ciro Russell's death, Lawrence did not ask Anna to stop collating and reporting the news, on the contrary, with Lawrence's continuous funding in the past two years, the size and membership level of the child's party have also increased.

Even not long ago, Lawrence saw a piece of information from Anna's report from the youngest son of a certain councilor, which also made Lawrence more determined to maintain this news channel.

Anna, who was preoccupied at the moment, did not notice that Lawrence had walked behind her, and it was not until Lawrence gently stroked the ends of her silky hair with his hand that Anna realized that she jumped up from her seat like a rabbit and scattered a few pages of paper on the ground.

"Sir! You scared the hell out of me. Anna whispered as she tilted her flushed cheeks slightly.

Lawrence leaned over and picked up the papers scattered on the ground, handed them to Anna and said:

"Good work, Anna, is there any news in particular?"

As the size of the children's gatherings grew, Anna's workload also increased, and the information she needed to process and sift through every week changed from a few pages to a large pile of documents that were now a few centimeters thick.

As a result, Anna often had to start her day's work early in the morning, as she does now, while juggling the housework of the big house.

Although Anna said that such a fulfilling life made her happier, Lawrence also remembered what Anna had done.

"This week... There really is nothing special. ”

Anna said, picking up her draft and looking at it twice, before handing it to Lawrence.

Lawrence took Anna's manuscript, pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked casually as he looked at it:

"I remember how many people in the congregation were in the Governor's Palace? Is there anything unusual in the Doge's Palace? ”

"Ah, there are indeed these people."

Anna responded, and very skillfully pulled out two records from the pile of papers, and after reading them carefully twice, she said:

"But as they say, everything is normal in the Doge's Palace."

"Is it..."

Lawrence nodded, silently thinking in his heart:

"In that case, most of the earl's retinue should not live in the governor's palace."

According to Nelson, there were dozens of people in those retinues, and if all of them were to live in the governor's palace, the corresponding daily necessities would definitely be purchased in advance, including the food supply in the dining room.

According to Anna, neither the people who worked in the kitchen nor those who participated in the procurement found such signs.

"It seems that only the earl and a few personal servants live in the governor's palace.

Lawrence closed his eyes and analyzed, and secretly made up his mind.

This is also a common conclusion, as these retinues also have different capacities, such as guards, scribes, maids, servants, and even priests, doctors, and staff members.

For retinues of lower status and less important positions, according to the standards of etiquette, they are generally not allowed to be entertained with their masters.

For Lawrence, these humble-status retinues are his best choice to open a breakthrough.

"Anna."

Lawrence had already made up his mind, and said to Anna in a deep voice:

"Help me keep an eye on all the larger hotels in Ajaccio, including taverns that offer accommodation. Also, the information from the previous issues also bothered you to go back and look for it again to see if there is any relevant news in it. ”

"Yes, sir."

Anna nodded earnestly, meticulously jotting down Lawrence's request on paper.

Lawrence stood up, sighed, and couldn't help touching Anna's head, he also knew that such a request made Anna's work burden heavier, so he said softly:

"It's really hard for you, Anna, I'll find someone to take care of this for you soon."

"No, sir, I'll do it alone."

Anna carefully put away the piece of paper she had just written, and said in a quieter and quieter voice:

"I am very happy and fulfilled in this life, and I feel that I am useful to my husband, so that... I'll be able to stay here forever..."

By the end, Anna was already like a mosquito, and Lawrence could only see Anna's lips trembling slightly, but he couldn't hear what she said at the end.

......

After Lawrence had packed his clothes at home, he went out to the patrol station to complete his job.

Although the appearance of those uninvited guests from England made Lawrence feel a strong sense of crisis, before receiving further news from Anna, Lawrence still had to appear in front of the public as before.

This was done in order to increase the exposure in the eyes of the public, and secondly, to slightly anesthetize the Governor Pauly, showing that he had no interest in these Englishmen.

However, during the afternoon round, Lawrence made a trip to Port Ajaccio.

The Reasonable was still moored in place, and British sailors could occasionally be seen on the docks.

While there's little fun to be found at the docks in Ajaccio, it's not every day that sailors at sea have the opportunity to walk on the ground.

"Hey! Hey! Lord Bonaparte! ”

Lawrence deliberately stayed around the Reason for a moment, and sure enough, after a while, he heard a childish voice calling to him from the deck.

I saw Nelson struggling to lie on the side of the ship, his height was not as tall as the side of the ship, so his feet were in the air at this time, but he still waved excitedly to Lawrence on the dock.

"Huhu, Sir Bonaparte, I didn't expect to see you again."

Nelson trotted all the way down the Reason, came to Lawrence's side, and said breathlessly and excitedly.

"I'm in charge of law and order in this area, and I often come here."

Lawrence said kindly:

"How's it going, little Nelson, how is life at Ajaccio?"

"It's terrible." Nelson shook his head again and again, and said very dissatisfied:

"There's nothing to do on the boat, and they don't let us into the city, it's too boring."

"But the ship should be quite lively, after all, there are so many sailors."

When Nelson heard this, he shook his head even more, and said in a loud voice:

"They, every day, they are full of women, money, and wine, which is even more boring than the calm sea."

"Is it..."

Lawrence casually answered, and took the opportunity to lead the conversation to the things he was most concerned about:

"Doesn't the old man still have a lot of servants? There must be interesting people among those people. ”

"They..."

Nelson pursed his lips and said:

"They usually stay in their cabins, and besides, they left the Reason last night."

Lawrence's eyes froze, but his face did not change and asked:

"Left?"

"yes, I left at midnight."

"That's right..."

Lawrence nodded and groaned, then deliberately turned his head to look at the sky, and said hurriedly:

"Oh sorry, little Nelson, I still have work to do, I have to leave."

"Of course, Lord Bonaparte!"

Nelson said, taking off his hat and waving it at Lawrence, who was briskly leaving.
