Tagle and Schwader stood in front of Lorist: "My lord, I have found out."
Lorist handed a signed document in his hand to Fatty Shi at the side, with an indifferent expression on his face: "Say, who is involved..."
Schwader opened the blue folder in his hand, and took out a piece of paper: "Your Highness, Mrs. Moya, Mrs. Swig Knight, Mrs. Sesla and Mrs. Corado, who is in charge of Yuski, and Lara Telly, the wife of Knight Mbod. These three wives are the guests who visit Mrs. Malek most frequently. As the adults said, they have visited at least three times in ten days, and they are deliberately trying to please and make friends with Mrs. Malek. According to our investigation, The wives of these three families are all from the maidservants of Mrs. Irina of Fenglin Villa, and the steward Yuski is also from the servants of Fenglin Villa..."
"What's the matter with Swig and Lambert? How did they marry Irina's maid?" Lorist angrily broke the quill in his hand and threw it on the ground. He remembered the two Two knights, all refugees on the northbound road, joined the team and became guards of the guard battalion. They were accepted as family knights when their grudge cultivation broke through to the silver rank, and then they were assigned to the Rock Army as the captain. And now Lambert is about to be promoted to the position of battalion commander due to his meritorious service.
"Your Highness, Knight Swig and Knight Lambert knew their two wives when they were on duty at Maplewood Villa when they were guards, and they were rejected when they asked Mrs. Irina to marry these two maids. Four After the adults took away Young Master Lescott and fostered him in Baron Malek's knight manor, Mrs. Irina sent someone to find Knight Swig and Knight Lambert, and agreed to marry the two maids to them as wives. After getting married, the newlyweds of the two knights asked them to move their family to Hongheyuan, which is very close to Baron Malek's knight manor...
I remember that Knight Swig once showed off to people in a tavern, saying that his new wife was very considerate to him. At that time, the Rock Legion was stationed in Hongheyuan. He Yuan, it is convenient for him to go home and reunite when he is not on duty. After getting acquainted with Mrs. Malek, the wives of the two knights, as well as the lady in charge of Yuski, often visited the house, drinking afternoon tea together, making snacks and picnics...
The investigators who were in charge of recording the daily life of Master Lesket did not find anything unusual about their behavior, because they were related to the family's knights, and they also deliberately avoided their activities, and they did not understand the communication between them and Lesket. How to pay attention. When we went to investigate this time, the two investigators recalled that the relationship between Master Lesket and them seemed to be very good, and every time they went to visit Mrs. Malek, the master was very happy... "
Tager's voice became softer as he reported, and he lowered his head. This is a big omission. Lorist strictly ordered Elena of Maplewood Villa not to intervene in Lesket's growth and education, but with a small detour, Elina still achieved her goal, and all of this was not noticed. If Lorist hadn't felt that the visitors on the surveillance records had visited Mrs. Malek too often and became suspicious, all of this would have gone unnoticed. For Tagle, who was in charge of the intelligence work of the Norton family, this was a slap in the face.
"Who is that Yuski in charge?" Lorist asked coldly.
Schwader looked at the information in the folder and replied: "Your Highness, Yuski was originally a servant in Maplewood Villa, but because of his literacy, he was promoted by Hansk's supervisor and became a warehouse manager. His first His wife was also a maid in Fenglin Villa, who died of illness after giving birth to her daughter Corado. In Fenglin Villa, she is known for her honesty, diligence and responsibility.
After Master Lescott was fostered at the house of Baron Malek, Director Hanske made love for him and asked Mrs. Irina to marry Sesla, the maid who was in charge of the small kitchen, as his second wife, and at the same time put Yuski in charge. Transferred to Hongheyuan as an official in charge of the management of the servants of the Eight Knights Manor, and took this opportunity to get acquainted with Mrs. Malek. Because of his wife Sesla's outstanding culinary skills, she is often invited by Mrs. Malek, and the two wives of Knight Swig and Knight Lambert met Mrs. Malek through Sesla's relationship... "
"Needless to say!" Lorist angrily swept all the documents, pens and ink on the table to the ground: "It's really a good job, I wove a big net before I knew it. No wonder Lesket was killed by horses." Mrs. Lake's strict discipline still doesn't change her nature, and she has learned to do one thing in front of her face and another behind her back... "
Lorist wandered around the study with a gloomy expression, while Fatty Shi, Tagle and Schwader were all silent. They knew that Lorist was holding a fire in his heart, and they didn't know when it would explode.
"Boss Shredder, what do you think I should do with these people?" Lorist asked suddenly.
Fatty Shi sighed secretly: "Your Highness, why bother? Now you have sent Master Lescott back to Maplewood Villa, and he has already been punished. As for the two knights, Swig and Lambert, They didn't know it. Just like Yuski, who was in charge, he was indeed a loyal, honest, responsible and diligent family official.
All this was done by their wives, and their wives followed the instructions of Mrs. Irina. If you punish them, they don’t know or make mistakes, even if you are the head of the Norton family, you can’t blame others for no reason and punish their wives…” Fatty Shi smiled wryly: “Your Highness, it’s right for them to care about Master Lesket. There is no good excuse for punishment, but it will affect your reputation and be gossiped about... "
What Fatty Shi said was correct, but it was not easy to put this matter on the bright side. No matter who heard it, they would think that Elina just cared about her son and sent someone to take care of her secretly. This is also human nature.
Unwilling, Lorist wandered around the study for a few more times, and finally stopped: "Director Shredder, write an order to order the two knights, Swig and Lambert, and the steward Yuski The three of them, together with their families, will set off for the Haneyabad Islands on May 1st next year for a ten-year term... "
Well, this is equivalent to being exiled. The Haneyabad Islands are far away from the Galintia mainland, and they are isolated overseas. The distance is so far that it takes more than a month to come and go by boat.
Fatty Shi smiled wryly and shook his head, knowing that Lorist had become uncomfortable at this moment: "Okay, I'll write it right away, what about their treatment?"
"Be the same as others." Lorist replied, then turned to tell Tagle: "Tager, our family should not send troops for the next two years. This year's war has just ended, and our family soldiers need to fight Take a break. So you can relax a little bit with external information. You are responsible for assisting Schwarder to establish an internal security department, and first clean up all the internal relations of our family. If there are similarities, those who have continuous ties with Fenglin Villa Give me the list, and I'm sure they'll be glad to have so many acquaintances for company when they're all in Haneyabada."
"Yes, Your Highness." Tagle and Schwader stood at attention and replied.
After Shi Huade and Tagle left the study, Fatty Shi comforted him: "Your Highness, this matter shouldn't make the whole town panic..."
Lorist sat down and stroked his head: "Oh, you don't understand. Back then, there were so many people in the family who opposed my marriage with Sylvia, which made me feel a little bit wrong. It turned out that I thought the family situation was booming. It really surprised me that someone weaved such a web behind my back without me noticing. It's really amazing that the little maid who is like a bird has grown up to be such a scheming lady I didn't expect it..."
Fatty Shi shut up and pretended he didn't hear it. After all, this was Lorist's family business. As the chief knight and administrator of the Norton family, he couldn't just express his opinions and opinions casually.
Seeing Fatty Shi's deafness, Lorist laughed: "So I'm going to cut off all her tentacles this time. I really don't know how to use my maid to win over my family knight. They all went to Haneyabada Islands to weave maid relationship Internet cafes."
"Okay, don't pretend you don't hear it." Lorist said to Fatty Shi: "Please urge Tagle and Schwader to check the personnel in Bear Raging City and Cherry Blossom Ridge Villa first. , even if there are relatives in Fenglin Villa, it’s the same for those who were promoted by Hansk’s supervisor. You are responsible for arranging these people who have been found out to other places. I need to ensure that Sylvia and The absolute safety of Anderbell's mother and child."
Fatty Shi was moved and nodded: "Understood, Your Highness."
Lorist leaned back on the back of the chair: "New Year's Day will be here in a few days, and it is estimated that guys like Felim, Kenmes, and Henned will be here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The banquet and reception are all ready Yet?"
"Your Highness, don't worry about this, we are fully prepared. But the Duke of Kenmes and the others will not live in the mansion in the city again. They have bought a homestead in the noble district and built their own manor. And Ken The manor of the Duke of Max is the most luxurious and the largest one. It has been delivering some supplies and materials non-stop for more than a month. According to the butler, the Duke of Max will continue to hold dances in his manor after our New Year banquet. and banquets till winter is past."
"This guy is just like that. He likes to be lively and enjoy himself. The gold coins spent on these dances and banquets can raise another legion." Lorist said bitterly, sometimes thinking about it, he was quite envious of the pursuit of the Duke of Kenmes. Life of pleasure, this guy is heartless, except for the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce, everything else is as if the sky is falling and Lorist will take over, he has no fear of attitude.
In 1784, the general calendar of the Galintia continent arrived, and the Norton family in the North held a grand New Year celebration banquet, which lasted for seven days and seven nights. Four Domain Baronets and seven Honorary Baronets. At the same time, nearly a hundred honorary nobles from other places were transferred to the honorary titles of the Norton family, just because they bought a homestead in the newly developed fourth noble zone in the eastern suburbs of Raging Bear City...
Seven days after the end of the New Year's banquet, Lorist held another banquet to officiate the wedding ceremony for his beloved disciple, Schward, and Duke Felim's beloved daughter, Katerina. In front of nearly a thousand nobles and guests who came to the wedding, the Duke of Felim announced that he would combine the Podoliki Mountains in the southern province of the Felim family territory into a viscounty and give his beloved daughter Katerina as a dowry, which made many nobles The envy of the guests also made the Duke of Feisabrun, who came to the New Year's celebration and wedding, furious, but the old man still endured it and did not get angry.
Lorist was very surprised that the Grand Duke Fesabrunn would rush to the Northland to participate in the Norton family's New Year's celebration at the end of the year. But he couldn't refuse. After all, Grand Duke Fessabrun is also Princess Sylvia's grandfather. Even Princess Sylvia doesn't want to see her grandfather, but Grand Duke Fessabrun is with Sandy. When the Great Sword Master came, Princess Sylvia was still very filial to the adoptive mother who raised her, but she felt extremely headache and helpless because of the bad relationship between Great Sword Master Sandy and Lorist.
Lorist felt a little embarrassed about receiving the Grand Duke of Fisabrun. When he went to the four central duchies, he had contacts with the Grand Duke of Fesabrun, and it could be said that he was hypocritical. After all, everyone was in the camp of the Antinac Kingdom and was The appointment of His Royal Highness as the front-line commander requires sincere cooperation. Even though the relationship has eased and they still communicate with each other, in Lorist's heart, he still regards the Feisabrun family as the most threatening enemy of the four northern alliances, an opponent that needs to be vigilant at all times.
But after Princess Sylvia gave birth to little Anderbell, Grand Duke Fessabrun seemed to have really become a relative of Lorist. This change made Lorist very uncomfortable, so he could only slander this in his stomach. The old man is so thick-skinned that he really regards himself as an elder. But he can't help it, he can't turn his face and drive people away, so he has to greet each other with a smile every day, and treat each other with good wine and good food.
Grand Duke Feisabrunn's visit to the Northland to participate in the Norton family's New Year's celebration also brought a generous gift, an order of nearly two million goldfords. It's just that this time he resolutely refused to agree to purchase the goods at four or five times the price as last time, and demanded to trade at the normal market price, otherwise he would hand over this purchase order to the Second Highness.
His Royal Highness has just regained the eleven provinces in the central part, like the original Handla Duchy, Forendo Duchy and Faker Duchy, where the handicrafts and daily necessities workshops have always been very prosperous, even though the handicraftsmen of the Faker Duchy were taken by Lorist Being looted once can be said to be traumatic, but if Grand Duke Fessabrun really hands over the order worth two million goldfords to the Second Highness, it will play a leading role in restoring the economy of eleven provinces , His Highness must be overjoyed.
This old treacherous old guy, Lorist sighed. It was a very ingenious break for the Feisabrun family to join the camp of the Second Highness and himself belonging to the Antinac Kingdom, which made all their suppression of the Feisabrun family come to naught.
Lorist knew very well that it was an act of goodwill for the Grand Duke Fessabrunn to hand over the purchase order to him. One million, but a big deal of two million Jinford can still make a profit of three to four hundred thousand at the market price.
Grand Duke Feisabrun once again dealt a heavy blow to Lorist. He proposed to allow the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce to organize a caravan to go to the Eastern Wilderness Prairie to hold a trade fair every year, and directly trade with the grassland tribes. The caravan is safe. Managed by the Fessabrun family…
The Duke of Kenmes almost hugged Lorist's feet and begged him to agree. He said to Lorist with red eyes: "Do you know how much profit it means to be able to do business directly with the grass barbarian tribe?"
Lorist kicked him away helplessly, raised his head and said to Grand Duke Feisabrun, "Okay, you won, and I agree to your request."
