At this time, the camera turned to the other side, and after the three Lamberts left the town hall, they went straight to a house in the city.

Depero stepped forward and knocked on the door, the door opened, and a man poked his head out vigilantly, and when he looked closely, he was one of Paist's entourage.

"You're not being followed, are you?" said the man, looking behind the three of them.

Depero said: "Don't worry, this house is my property, and no one will doubt it." ”

"Well, Master Paist is waiting for you. The man leaned sideways and let the three men in, then closed the door.

In the living room, Paist was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and when he heard the footsteps of the three people, he asked without raising his head, "What did that woman say?"

Fanning said hatefully: "Charlotte is very stubborn and refuses to agree. ”

Lambert snorted: "I know that since that guy named Raymond came, she has been very wrong, and now she is messing with the people of the Lowville Chamber of Commerce, she must have received some benefits, and Hairington will be ruined by these people sooner or later." ”

The three of them now see the Lowville Chamber of Commerce as the root of all evil, but they seem to have forgotten how they were so eagerly expected of them in the first place.

Paist calmly closed the book and looked up: "However, I am very pleased that there are still three such people in Beddington. Thanks to you, I know the terrible state of affairs here. ”

It turned out that the whole thing was caused by these three people, no wonder Paist came at such a coincidental time, just in time to stop Auston and Farak's caravan, and knew so much about the current situation in Headington. It also explains why he is in Depero's house.

No wonder the performance of the three of them before and after is so strange.

Hearing Paist's words, the three of them all showed gratitude. Depero hurriedly said: "It's a pity that we still failed to convince Charlotte and lived up to your expectations." ”

Paist waved his hand, "I can't blame you, she's been completely confused by the Lowville Chamber of Commerce. It's just that things still need to be resolved, I wonder if you have any solutions?"

Glancing at each other, Lambert said, "Don't worry, we already have a countermeasure." Charlotte's insistence on going her own way and pulling the whole of Headington together for the funeral was really stupid. As long as we make her actions public, it will surely cause the outrage of all residents. ”

"When the time comes to remove her as mayor, we can slowly squeeze out the forces of the Lowville Chamber of Commerce and Raymond's gang. ”

Paist nodded noncommittally, "Sounds good." However, this takes too much time and is likely to alert them to what they will do. Therefore, we need to use more vigorous and resolute means to solve this problem once and for all. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Fanning tentatively.

"Directly by force. Paist said coldly to the trio.

The three of them were taken aback: "You mean, start a rebellion?"

Paist shook his head and said, "Please make no mistake, they are the traitors." You are doing this for the sake of the Commonwealth to clear the cancer, and I will definitely apply to the Council afterwards, and your merits are enough to enter the lower council. ”

"Really... Really?" the three of them were overjoyed when they heard this.

The Lower Council is the body that assists the Central Council in managing the affairs of the federal administration of LaWitt, and being able to enter the Council is equivalent to leaping into the upper echelons of Rawitt, which is really very attractive to the three people who can only live in remote Beddington.

Depero said with some unease: "However, we don't have any troops in our hands, the garrison has always been controlled by the mayor, we have no right to interfere, and Raymond's escort team is also very difficult to mess with, it is really difficult to succeed." ”

Paist said: "It's not a problem, the use of force doesn't have to be forced, as long as you can kill a few key people, the rest will be easy." ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and saw two men enter the room. "This is Spear and Morgan, both of whom are first-class assassins, and they will be responsible for dealing with Javier, as well as Charlotte. ”

"What, is Charlotte going to kill you?" the three of them were taken aback.

Paist said coldly: "Charlotte has betrayed Ravitt, and in order to stop the infiltration of the Lowville Chamber of Commerce, it is also necessary to kill her. This is all for the benefit of Rawitt, and I hope you will understand. ”

The three of Lambert looked at each other, and as if they had made up their minds, they gritted their teeth and agreed: "In this case, it will be done as you say." ”

Paist said with satisfaction: "After her death, the command of the garrison will naturally fall into your hands." Then you command the garrison and drive out the man named Raymond, and if they dare to resist, they will be killed!"

"I see, I do as you command. The three of them had been completely led by his nose and left.

"In order not to alert them, I will leave later, and Spear and Morgan will stay to assist you, and the specific time and plan of action shall be drawn up by you, but I hope that the sooner the better." ”

"Well, I'm just waiting for good news from you. ”

Just as Paist drew up a plan to get rid of Charlotte, here, Charlotte also told Raymond and Javier about Pastor's intention and the results of the negotiation.

Hearing Charlotte's resolute refusal of Paist's request, Javier said, "You did the right thing, if you really get rid of us, they will never be interested in looking at Headington again afterwards." ”

Raymond also said: "And those bandit groups, it is likely that Rawitt is behind the ghosts, although they don't know their purpose, but they definitely have bad intentions." ”

Charlotte nodded, "I understand." It's just that this time it didn't succeed, and the other party will definitely not give up. ”

Raymond frowned and said, "Will they use force under an excuse?"

Charlotte shook her head: "Probably not, this is not the style of those businessmen, they are more inclined to solve problems by other means." Besides, even if I cooperated with the Lowville Chamber of Commerce privately and violated the covenant, it would still not be to the point of using force. ”

Javier said, "Well, at the moment, it seems that they can only isolate Haydington, which is not difficult to deal with. ”

He comforted Charlotte and said, "When the docks are built, I will ask Lord Reid to introduce more merchant fleets here, and Headington will definitely survive the difficulties." ”

At this point, Charlotte can only think so. After discussing some ways to deal with it with the two of them, she said goodbye and left.

That night, Raymond was reading some books about the customs of Veronica in his room when he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, my lord. Freddy's voice came from outside the door: "I'm going to report something to you." ”

"Come in. Raymond said.

Ever since Freddie took the money to set up an intelligence agency, Raymond has rarely seen him in this time. He suddenly came to the door in the middle of the night, obviously there was something very important.

Freddie walked into the room, and even in the middle of the night, he covered most of his face with a wide hat. , fluttering in a flash, is simply more like a ghost than Baster during the battle.

"What's the matter, it's not going to come to me again to ask for money, is it?" Raymond quipped.

Freddie didn't show the slightest smile, he said coldly: "I really need money, I will naturally come to you." I'm here because my informant has found something interesting. ”

"Informant?" Raymond was stunned.

"You don't think I've been doing anything for a while, are you?" Freddie was a little angry: "Although it is only limited to the city of Headington, I have already established a system of intelligence sources. You know, there are a lot of unemployed people in the city, and I just need some money, and I can easily find people who are willing to do things for us, and those guys are local snakes, and nothing can hide from them. ”

"Oh, did you find anything then?" Raymond was starting to get a little interested.

"First of all, after leaving the town hall, the members of the Inspectorate went to a house that, according to my informants, belonged to Depero's property. ”

Raymond sat up straight: "The patrol committee just entered the city during the day, and you started to follow them?"

Freddie said angrily: "You want me to say it a few times, isn't this exactly what I set up an intelligence gathering system? As soon as those guys entered the city, I knew that they were obviously not coming, so I immediately decided to spy on them to get as much information as possible." So, there was another discovery. ”

Raymond is becoming more and more afraid to underestimate Freddy, this man is really frighteningly efficient.

I heard Freddy say, "Since I don't have professional manpower at hand, I asked Baste for help temporarily. As a result, she discovers that Paist's entourage has several thieves with quite good skills. When Paist left the city in the afternoon, two of them didn't leave with him, in other words, they remained in the city for now. ”

"Hmm..."Raymond finally got serious, which was indeed an unusual signal.

"In addition. Freddy added, "After Paist entered the house, it wasn't long before Depero and the three of them went in and stayed for a while before leaving. ”

"Wait, you're even following those three?" Raymond asked.

Freddie said coldly: "Of course, the first thing I did after establishing the organization was to send someone to monitor them. Professionally, the three of them are definitely the kind of goals that need the most attention. ”

"Those are a few things worth noting today, and if it weren't for the fact that it had just been established, there was a lack of reliable manpower, and there were no professional intelligence officers, I would have been able to find out more. However, this is also much better than being blind and not knowing anything like before. Finally, Freddie said proudly.

Raymond completely agrees with this, it is indeed a great benefit to have his own eyeliner, and Freddie is really worthy of the 100,000 gold coins he took away.

Moreover, these three pieces of information are very valuable, which shows that there is obviously an ulterior relationship between the three Lamberts and Paist, and Paist's visit this time is obviously not as simple as it seems, two first-class thieves are enough to do a lot of things in secret.

Although it is not clear what the other party's purpose is, it is enough to arouse Raymond's vigilance.

"So, what do you think?" asked Raymond.

Freddie shook his head: "The current intelligence is still insufficient, and it is difficult to make an effective analysis. However, one thing is certain, the other party must be secretly planning something, although Paist has left, he must be an important participant, and those two unknown thieves are the evidence. ”

Raymond muttered, "This is indeed a nuisance, can you find them?"

Freddie thought for a moment and said, "You can try." The other party should be the first time to come to Beddington, so if you want to hide, you must need the help of Lambert and others. ”

"But they obviously wouldn't have hid those two in their home, so there must have been some other secret location. I think there will be something to gain from this. ”

"Well, then send someone to find it tomorrow, and I can lend you Baster if necessary. Raymond nodded.

Freddie got up as soon as he got up, walked out with a cold face.

"Where are you going?" Raymond startled.

"No kidding, how can this kind of thing be delayed. Freddie's voice came from outside the door.

"I know where Baster sleeps, so I'm going to look for her. ”

"Huh..."Raymond shook his head with a smile, Freddie was acting really... Resolute. In a sense, it's also a headache.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw Baste rush into Raymond's room like a whirlwind, and shouted bitterly: "Young master, is there any mistake, people also want to rest." ”

Later, Freddie followed unhurriedly. Ignoring Barst, who was staring at him hatefully, he spread out a map of Haydington on his desk, with many locations already circled in red.

"This is one of the results of my intelligence gathering during this time, and I have marked out the properties of those three guys in Headington, in order to make it easier for us to turn against them one day. But I didn't expect it to be useful so soon. ”

As soon as she saw the dense red circles on the map, Catwoman immediately understood that her dream was in vain. She still had the last bit of hope, and looked at Raymond with her pitiful big eyes: "Young master, do people want to sleep..."

It's a pity that Raymond, the unscrupulous master, was unmoved, and he threw the map to Baste: "Follow the signs above, give me one by one, and don't want to sleep until you find someone." ”

Baster said unwillingly, "Meow, what if they're not here at all?"

"Unfortunately, you're out of luck. ”

"Protest, you're cheating on me. Catwoman protested loudly.

Raymond unceremoniously gave her a kick in the ass: "There's nothing to do these days, you are about to become a pig except eating or sleeping." Just take the opportunity to move the event, go quickly. ”

Knowing that he couldn't beat Raymond, Baster muttered a few times in dissatisfaction, only obediently took the map and jumped into the endless night.

"Well, this guy isn't very reliable, but she's the only one who can find those two thieves in Headington right now. After sending Bastet away, Raymond stretched and said, "Go back to sleep, let's just wait for her good news." ”

Baste did not fail Raymond, and the next day she found the two thieves, who were hiding in a warehouse that Fanning used to store fresh fish.

Raymond then ordered Barstone to keep an eye on the two thieves, and report back to them wherever they had met or been.

It's a pain for poor Baster, it's nothing to be monitored around the clock, that's what she's doing after all. The terrible thing was the fresh fish in the storehouse, which was as tempting to Catwoman as a greedy merchant who saw the mountain of gold, and it is said that she almost sewed her mouth shut before she did anything about the fish in the storehouse, lest she alarm the enemy.

In the next two days, the movements of the two thieves also reached Raymond's ears one by one.

In addition to quietly meeting with Depero and the others, the two thieves also took advantage of the night to wander around Charlotte and Javier's residence. Of course, they thought they didn't know it, but it was all under Bathter's nose.

At this time, if he can't guess what the other party wants to do, Raymond doesn't have to mess around.

"It seems that the other party intends to assassinate Charlotte and Javier. And judging from the three guys that Paist found, it is likely that he wants to use them to control Headington after the fact, to expel the Lowville Chamber of Commerce by force, and most likely to do something against us. Freddie analyzed based on the available intelligence.

In just a few days, Raymond's side guessed Paist's intentions. If he could have known, Paist would have regretted ignoring their existence.

"Looks like that's how it should be. Raymond nodded: "All along, the most difficult thing to prevent is the inner ghost, it seems that Paist is deeply involved in this." ”

"Do you want to warn Charlotte?" Freddie asked, "If we strike first, it won't be difficult to take out those two thieves." ”

"Hmm... Sounds good. Raymond said noncommittally: "In this case, Depero and they should not dare to do anything if they are warned, right?"

Freddie nodded: "As long as those two thieves are killed, Depero and their next conspiracy will naturally not be able to proceed." ”

Raymond touched his chin: "It's a pity to say that..."

It's a pity, if Lambert's plot can be stopped, it should be a good thing, why would Raymond say it's a pity?

Sensing the meaning of Raymond's words, Freddie said helplessly: "No way, there is no direct evidence to prove that they are plotting wrong, so as long as the other party does nothing, we are helpless against them." ”

"Really, those guys have been causing a lot of trouble for us lately. Raymond tapped his fingers lightly on the back of his chair and said in a tone of regret.

"I hate them too, unless—" Freddie said, pausing deliberately, "if they do start a rebellion, then we can do it." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Leave them alone, and the desired rebellion will naturally come. There was a flash of coldness in Freddy's eyes under the brim of his hat.

Raymond couldn't help but say, "Hey, this is really something that only you can say." ”

"My lord, a long pain is better than a short one, and if we don't take this opportunity to deal with those three guys, we will definitely run into more trouble in Headington in the future. Freddie spoke with his characteristic utilitarianism.

"......" Raymond's eyes narrowed.

"My lord, I believe it was totally worth it. ”

After a while, Raymond, who was silent, sighed slowly, and he had made up his mind in his heart.

"You're right, I've shown enough kindness to them, but they don't seem to know how to restrain, and it's no good to keep such a capricious villain. Since they started a rebellion in the first place, I will take advantage of this rare opportunity to get rid of these troubles. ”

Freddy's eyes flashed with joy, and he bowed his head deeply: "Don't be bound by senseless morality, my lord, you really didn't disappoint me. ”

At this time, Raymond suddenly said: "Freddy, then from now on, we will be 'ignorant' about their plots." ”

Freddie was stunned for a moment, then nodded knowingly: "My subordinates understand." ”

"Ah, by the way, what are you doing with me so late?" then, Raymond asked "surprised".

Freddie was also very cooperative: "It's okay, it's just a casual chat." ”

"Oh, it's not early, so you can go back and rest early. Raymond said very considerately: "There have been too many things recently, don't be too tired." ”

"Well, please take care, sir. With a bow to Raymond, Freddie stepped back calmly.

Everything was as if nothing had happened.
