Pete burst into tears and explained everything to Han Xu.

It turned out that Pete was indeed the master's work in the mine, and he monitored every move in the mine. And the reason why he chose to betray Rhodes despite his feelings for many years is because his family is also in the hands of the lord. As for the person who put the fire prevention medicine in the furnace of the steam engine, he is indeed Lao Wang. It was Pete who used Wang's family to blackmail and force Wang to do it. But Pete really didn't expect that the day after tying up Lao Wang's family, Pete originally put them in a hidden cave, but because of negligence, he didn't cover up the traces in the cave, and Lao Wang's family was eaten by wild beasts in the mountain.

When Pete returns to the cave to deal with the Wang's family, all that remains is a few severed limbs and bloodstains everywhere.

"Originally, I didn't plan to kill them, and even after I put them home, I threatened the lord to make them not talk about it. But I didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and the fact that I went to his house became my footsteps. Pete sighed and said, "Moreover, I didn't need to go to the provincial capital to denounce Rod, because the task of 300,000 tons set by the eldest prince of the lord's family could not have been completed, but it was solved by the steam engine you invented. Then I'll have to report to the lord. ”

Han Xu frowned and asked, "Why did the eldest prince of the lord's family give such a ridiculous task?" Pete explained: "It's because Huey, the third son of the lord's family, has a very low magical talent, and is regarded by the lord as a shame for the family, and wants to be assigned to the mine to be the mine owner." But although Rhodes is just a house slave, after all, he has been loyal to the Hussein family for many years, and the Hussein family is not only a descendant of the lord, so the lord has to find a high-sounding reason. Otherwise, they will be attacked by the side branches. ”

Pete smiled sarcastically: "Rhodes is also a fool, he understands what the lord means, just hurry up and retreat, what are you struggling for?"

Tsuneishi had already returned at this time, and he said coldly: "Pete, you are wrong. Rhodes wanted to stay as a mine owner for the sake of the people of the mine. ”

Pete was stunned for a moment and said, "How is it possible." In other words, you can manage a mine here, and you have to serve your master when you go back, or you can go to the countryside to farm, do you want to? ”

Tsuneishi shook his head, looked at him and said, "Actually, we had already rescued Rhodes a few days ago, but he gave up his life in order to gain time. I'm sure such people won't be as inferior as you say. Tsuneishi told Pete about saving Rhodes the other day.

Pete said with a dead face: "It's over, you shouldn't kill those magicians." ”

Chang Shi and the others were taken aback, Duan Lingzi saw that his expression was indeed desperate, and quickly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Pete shook his head and said, "It's too late to say anything." I directly correspond to the eldest son, Raul, who asked me to report the progress at any time, and must let Brad and others report the progress with an owl or carrier pigeon at any time. So, if you killed Brad, maybe Raul would have realized that things had changed. Coupled with the fact that I have been arrested these days, Raul has not been able to hear from him, so perhaps the lord's troops are already on their way. ”

Hearing Pete say this, several people in the room were all grim-faced. After a day of tossing, the sun had already set, and the moon, which was not bright, had just climbed up and was obscured by thick dark clouds.

The provincial city of Montel, it was dark at night.

"Brad hasn't been heard from for more than a week. Something is wrong, someone is coming..."Raul sat on his comfortable bench, enjoying the maid's massage, he shook his fat head and thought.

The housekeeper stepped forward and whispered, "Young Master, I'm here." It's just that there is one thing that you need to deal with, the third son, Huey, just asked to see him. Raul sat up, the maid was startled, and her hand was a little heavier, and Raul's foot hurt slightly. Raul frowned and kicked the maid in the face, and the kicking maid rolled to the ground. The maid quickly got up again in panic, endured the severe pain, knelt on the ground, her head was pressed against the floor, she didn't dare to move, but she still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Get down, rubbish!" Raul said coldly. As if pardoned, the maid bowed backwards and walked out of Raul's drawing-room. Raul turned to his butler and asked, "The third child?" How did he get here? ”

"Big brother, I heard that those damn slaves in the mines are disobedient? I was supposed to leave a week ago, but because of this group of pigs, my trip was delayed again and again, is there such a thing? Raul himself was fat enough, but now it was like rolling in a fat man who was fatter than Raul two laps over, none other than Raul's third brother Huey.

After Huey shouted this, he scolded: "Big brother, you lend me a few magicians under your hands, and I will teach these pigs who don't know their identities a lesson!" ”

Raul sat back on his bench and patted himself on the shoulder in pain, and the butler hurriedly went over to knead him. Raul pointed at Huey and said, "Third child, this matter is not as simple as you think, you sit down first." ”

To say that Raul is really defensive and defensive against his second brother Paul, he is not only not defensive against his stupid third brother, but has a little brotherly affection.

"Big brother, I was very depressed in this provincial capital. Even those low-class little nobles in the provincial city can be mixed with an official and a half-job, but I have no power or power, so I can only eat and wait for death in our family's castle. Finally my father arranged an errand for me, but there was a situation again, you say, how can I bear this breath. ”

Raul secretly scolded himself: "If you weren't such a waste, would you be like this? But he didn't say it. Originally, he had no chance of winning in the matter of competing for inheritance, although he was the eldest, his second brother was too talented. If he doesn't win over his stupid third brother, he will be even weaker.

So Raul said earnestly: "Listen, third brother." Big brother, it's not that I don't want to help you. The problem is that the few magicians I sent before are still not heard from. ”

"Hey, big brother, I know the person you sent. I know the color of those goods. Don't underestimate your brother and me over the years, I have also gathered a lot of masters in magic. I now have three intermediate magicians and five junior magicians under my command. Lend me a high-ranking magician, and I promise that whoever causes trouble will leave him dead. Huey said triumphantly.

Raul couldn't help it, and his face showed disdain, but he was also sure that his younger brother couldn't see it. "Three intermediate, five junior also dare to brag? I can't even make up two full magic guards, and I'm embarrassed to be the third son of the Hussein family. With your strength, how can I rest assured that I will lend you my high-level magicians? Raul thought in his heart, but said on his lips: "Third brother, don't be impatient, I will solve it properly, you go back to rest first." ”

It's good to say that I finally coaxed Huey's stupid pig away. Raul sat on the bench with a gloomy face, waved his hand and said to the housekeeper: "Go, keep an eye on the third child, don't let him cause trouble." If someone on the other side of the mine can let Brad and the others die silently, the strength is not trivial. I just don't know which way it is. The butler nodded and ordered his men to go.

After a while, the subordinate hurriedly came back and said, "Young Master, something is wrong." The housekeeper glared and said, "What are you panicking about!" Take your time. Raul also looked at his subordinates with an unkind expression. The subordinate was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The eldest young master, the third young master just went out of the city with a team of people. ”

"Snap" a teacup fell to the ground and smashed into pieces. Raul's head was pounding. The housekeeper admonished at the right time: "Young Master, do you want to report this matter to the master?" Or take it out? ”

Raul's eyes rolled twice, and then he whispered: "Don't yet, I can't let my father know about this matter, otherwise I will have a lower opinion in my father's eyes." ”

Raul paced quickly in his living room, his forehead sweating slightly. Seeing that he was in a hurry, the housekeeper coughed a little, and said in a voice that only Raul and himself could hear, "Young Master, I have an idea." ”

Raul stopped, approached the butler and asked, "Tell me about it." ”

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I just don't know the relationship between you and the third young master..."

Raul said without hesitation: "Naturally, they are brothers, regardless of each other. He observed the butler's expression, only to see that the butler was silent, and he could only lower his voice and say: "It's okay to be useful, and it's okay to keep it if it's useless." ”

The housekeeper's expression was relaxed, and he finally spoke: "The third young master stays, how much help can he give you?" In this case, the third young master is going, why don't the eldest young master pretend not to know? It is best for the mine to be safely managed by the third young master. If something happens, it happens to reach the ears of the master..."

Raul asked, "So what?" ”

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Big Young Master, if something happens to the Third Young Master, who is the person that the Lord trusts the most and has the ability to solve this matter?" ”

Raul's eyes lit up and he muttered, "It's Paul's guy." ”

The butler laughed and said, "That's right." When the time comes, we will only need to do this and this, and if we don't get it, we will still be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

Raul frowned and said: "But there is a problem here, if something really happens to the third child, the strength of the second child is extraordinary, and he has won the power of troublemakers, then wouldn't his status in his father's heart be higher?" ”

The housekeeper looked at Raul with a smile and said, "So, with your wisdom of the eldest young master, will you sit back and watch the second young master make contributions?" ”

Raul looked at the butler as if he had known him for the first time. After a long time, Raul breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Nonsense, how can I be a member of the Hussein family, and how can I ignore the interests of the family for my own selfish desires." ”

The housekeeper remained silent, and after waiting for a while, Raul said lightly: "Blocking the news, except for us, no one can know about the third child's departure from the city." If you don't have a strict mouth..."Raul made a motion to wipe his neck, and his eyes revealed a cruel light.
