About ten miles southeast of Alston Castle, another behemoth was erected. If you look down from the top of Dongcheng District, you will find that this is the center of the aristocratic residence of Dongcheng District.

Its walls aren't as tall as Alston Castle, its main complex doesn't look ornate, and even the golden lion-headed coat of arms in front of it feels a bit old.

However, when you look directly at this aristocratic castle, the first thing that comes to mind is often words like "heritage", "thickness", "history", etc. This is the castle of the Robert family, one of the four counts of Lay Rock City.

At this time, at the back of the castle, a group of black-armored guards surrounded a gray-clothed man and entered the back door.

After entering the castle, the gray-clad man waved something, and the group of black-armored guards bowed and dispersed.

Then the man in gray hurried towards the castle, his status seemed to be quite high, and Yujian's butlers and guards were bowing to him along the way.

After a while, he arrived in front of a three-story stone building in the castle, entered the door, went straight to the second floor, and finally stopped in front of a red nanmu door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Enter!"

The man in gray pushed open the door, and the interior of the room was quite simple, facing the door was a large desk, which took up a quarter of the entire room. The table is full of all kinds of official documents and materials, although there are many things, but maybe the owner likes to be tidy, so it is very well organized. Behind the desk sat a man with his head down at a paperwork, his blond hair dazzling.

When the man in gray came in, he didn't say anything immediately, but closed the door and stood respectfully at the table.

The room fell silent again, except for the sound of the blonde man flipping through the papers, and occasionally he would pick up a quill and rustle something.

After about ten minutes, the blonde man finally closed the file and looked up.

The knife-cut face seemed to show his decisive character, and the griffin-like eyes were slightly bloodshot but still sharp, and this person was none other than the second son of the Robert family, Bevan.

"I've said it many times, Gray, just sit down when you come in. ”

"Haode, Young Master Bewen, I'll pay attention next time. "The man in gray, no," Gray said, bowing. As he used to say.

"Well, I hope you really listened this time. Bewen smiled and shook his head: then said calmly, "What happened to that?"

Gray showed a hint of excitement, took out three pages of paper and put them on the table: "Young Master Bewen, it's successful." ”

If Donn had been here, he would have recognized the three pieces of paper as the fragments of the ledger he had brought with him from Auston Castle.

Bewen nodded, picked up the paper, quickly flipped through it, and smiled dumbly: "This Auston family really dares to do anything." ”

"yes. Gray sighed: "If these three pieces of paper flow to the Imperial Court trial table, then the Auston family will have to be pirates again." ”

"I'm not going to let that happen, because then we won't get anything. Bevin put down the paper and said with a smile, "So, the Earl of Alston should thank us, well, as a reward for giving me his four docks, which is not too much." ”

"Yes, Earl Auston should thank you for your kindness. ”

“haha。 Bewen finally showed an excited expression at this time, and then spoke, "Let the wind out tomorrow, and say that the Auston family is smuggling the enemy country." Two days later, we contacted the Earl of Auston again to hand over the docks. ”

"Yes," Gray said, bowing.

"By the way, how's the progress of the construction of the new wharf?" said Bevin with a knock on his forehead.

"It didn't go well, the new pier had to occupy five streets, and now only one has been cleared. ”

"What's going on?" Bevan frowned, "Didn't the official document be sent out two weeks ago?"

Gray spread his hands and said, "The government department responded that it has been doing it. ”

"These wine bags and rice bags, if I were the city lord, I would definitely withdraw them. Bevin's eyes instantly sharpened, and then he took a deep breath and said, "Send some people from the Golden Lion Gang to clean up the other four streets." ”

"Okay, but the cost of the demolition is ......," Gray said with some hesitation, "We don't have much money at our disposal, and the elders of the clan have some opinions about our recent spending of funds." ”

Bevin pressed his temple: "These old stubborns...... Well, let the five families of Decker temporarily contribute some funds, and when they are cleaned up, they will go to the Finance Department to report together. They've also eaten a lot of meat during this time, so it's time to do something!"

"Good!"

............

Alright, let's turn our gaze back to the main character, Donn.

After the spoils were divided, Don and Jack chatted a few words, and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Jack left an address, because he knew that Don En was an assassin, so Jack was very interested in not asking for Don Den's address, but just said that he would remember to bring him with him next time there was a big deal, and Don naturally agreed.

As the carriage slowly creaked southwest, Don fell into deep thought.

The task of stealing the smuggling ledger of Earl Auston has been completed, and Donn has received many benefits, but there is still no clue to the mysterious sender.

Don doesn't like it, it's like walking on a night when you can't see your fingers, and you never know when a big crater will appear in front of you and wait for you to fall into it.

"Damn, don't let me know who you are, or ......"

Just as Don gritted his teeth and said cruel words, a sudden chill swept through his heart.

At this time, the carriage was passing through a not very spacious bluestone street. The sound of horses' hooves landed on it, and the clatter was heard far away......

Don leaned forward slightly, his legs tense, his eyes constantly scanning his surroundings. How did I feel just now...... You can't be wrong, you're definitely being targeted.

The carriage continued on its way, passing one low house after another.

Suddenly, the chill dropped again, and this time the intensity was much greater. Don's body was like falling into an ice cave, and he was cold inside and out.

With a movement of his wrist, Tang En forcibly resisted the knee-jerk reaction of popping out the dagger.

The chill was like a raging wave, as if it were about to break Donn's psychological defense.

The horses seemed to sense something strange and stopped moving forward, their hooves uneasily scraping the ground in place.

Tang En suddenly turned his head to look at Xiangyou's side. Over there was a low-pitched house, and when Don first started looking, it was empty. But now, on the rooftop, a figure appeared like a ghost.

It was dark, but Don recognized who this person was.

Because his outfit is too conspicuous, with flowers, masks, and long hair...... It's the ghost face that Donn wants to investigate lately.
