Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom! !
There was a hasty knock on the door.
Melkensen, who was so tired and drowsy, felt a little pain in his head when he heard the short voice, and he couldn't open his eyelids. He instinctively frowned his bushy eyebrows. The boss didn't go to bed until very late, and drank a lot of alcohol. Although he drank sober medicine afterwards, he was still a little uncomfortable by the aftereffect of the alcohol. Hearing this violent voice at this moment, he felt indescribably irritated.
He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, sighed softly, knowing that something must have happened to knock on the door so hastily.
Sitting up from the bed, he raised his hand slightly, and the maid next to him handed him the warm and wet towel that had been prepared, and he wiped his face casually, exhaled lightly, and said, "Is it Saya, come in."
The maid at the door unbolted the door, and the door was pushed open immediately. Melshaya rushed in and saw her father who was sitting on the bed with a tired face. But still quickly said: "Father, something serious happened!"
"Slow down." Melkensen's face sank slightly, and he stood up, and the maid next to him immediately stepped forward to help him get dressed.
Mel Shaya quickly handed out the newspaper in her hand and said, "Father, read it."
Melkensen took the newspaper and scanned it, and immediately saw the eye-catching headline on it. In an instant, his face, which was still somewhat tired before, was stunned, and he stood on the spot as if struck by lightning.
Melshaya didn't expect her father, who had always been calm, to react more than she did. She was startled, a little nervous and apprehensive, and said, "Father, you sent someone to do this, right? If not , you said, with that kid's insidious personality, will he smear this matter on us?"
Melkensen gradually came back to his senses, and asked, "Is Commander Runcorn here? Tell him to come and see me."
"Commander Runcorn?" Melshaya was a little dazed, and suddenly thought of something, her expression changed, and she said, "Father, should, could it be..."
Melkensen interrupted her roughly, "I asked you if he was there?!"
"I, I'll ask the housekeeper." Melshaya was startled. Her father had never been so cruel to her since she was a child. Even if she made a mistake before, she messed up a list worth 100,000 gold coins in the family. At the time, she didn't say a word to her, and even comforted her, but she also realized the seriousness of the matter, so she turned around and ran out immediately.
After a while, Melshaya returned with a pale face and said, "Father, Commander Runcorn... is not here."
Melkensen had just changed his clothes, and when he heard this, his eyes went dark, his body shook, and he almost passed out.
"Father, father, did Commander Runcorn really do this?" Melshaya said with trembling lips, "Why, did you send it? If it was him, the newspaper said that the murderer The assassination failed, and he was killed by his subordinates, this, this will be investigated sooner or later on us... "
Melkensen stood there in a daze, his mind was buzzing, he couldn't hear what his daughter was saying at all, and boundless despair shrouded his heart. He had fallen many times in his life, but he had never fallen so hard!
"Runcorn betrayed me? No, he won't betray me. If he is really bought, he will lose his life now. What's the use of more money..." Melkensen's confused thoughts gradually recovered, and his mind It became more and more clear in the middle, and suddenly he wanted to understand what was going on. The thief shouting "stop thief" was just such a simple method, and he fell into it! !
His fists were clenched tightly, trembling slightly due to excessive force, and his nails dug deep into his palm without realizing it.
When allowing Runcorn to pass, although he considered this point, he didn't think about it carefully. After all, with Runcorn's strength, there are not many people in the outer wall area who want to keep him, and even more people who want to assassinate him. Less, otherwise he would not be able to serve as the commander of the knights and defend their Mel family for so many years.
Moreover, he understands the strength of the attendants around Du Dian, and only two of them pose a threat to Runcorn, both of whom were released by Du Dian from Thorn Flower Prison. Bao retreated, but he would die directly in Du Dian's castle. It can only show that the other party has ambushed a trap from the beginning, waiting for him to send him to the door.
The so-called bribery is just a cover.
He also tried to take this opportunity to get Runcorn to get rid of Du Dian. Even if he couldn't get rid of him, he could take this opportunity to extract important information from Du Dian's mouth to deal with them, so as to fight back. Unexpectedly, this is a dead move. Was directly general!
"Father, father!" Melshaya couldn't help shouting seeing him in a daze.
Melkensen took a deep breath and said to her: "Don't tell your grandpa about this, he can't bear this blow, and besides, you call Melk and Myers back immediately, let everyone come over, Get ready to hold a family meeting, transfer funds, and do it fast!"
Mel Shaya was shocked and said: "Father, what did you say? Transfer funds? You, are you going to..."
"That's right, the Mel family is finished." Melkensen said with a murderous look in his eyes, "But it won't just die out. One day, we will rise again. Now we must ,Reduce losses."
Mel Shaya felt that the thunder was thundering, and she was a little dazed. In her mind, the Mel family, which is known to everyone in the business district, is like the nobles among the nobles. up? The Meier family, which has stood at the top for decades, is going to be dimmed overnight
"Father!" Melshaya looked at Melkensen unacceptably, and said: "It's just an assassination, let's put some money into the court, at worst, give them more, give them ten times the money, let them Just turn a blind eye and close your eyes. If the capital is withdrawn, it will be too difficult for our Mel family to stand up again in the future. I don't believe that he is a master who has just been promoted. Even if the murderer is found to be Runcorn So what about the Commander? Let's just say, Commander Runcorn did it himself, so what does it matter to us?"
Melkensen frowned, and scolded: "Nonsense! If you lose, you lose. This is because we underestimated the enemy and let him take advantage of the loopholes again and again. Now we can't do it with money." Redeem it, assassinate the master, such a thing will alarm the Holy See of Light, according to the law that the court has agreed with them, they have the right to send people to participate in the investigation of the court!"
"The Holy See of Light protects the weak, and will definitely follow the boy's instructions and pour dirty water on us. There is no hope. The only hope now is to rise again in the future!"
"But, but..." Melshaya was in pain and couldn't accept such a blow. She really wanted to act coquettishly like an ordinary noble lady of the same age, but she still couldn't say some words, but let her accept such ruthlessness. The reality is too cruel to bear.
"Go!" Melkensen snapped angrily.
Melshaya bit her lip, tears flowed from her crystal-like eyes, and fell down her beautiful cheeks. She wiped her hands, covered her lips, turned and ran out.
…
…
On the second floor, in the study.
"The word is wrong, copy it a hundred times." Du Dian threw the small book in his hand back in front of the boy, who was the Gabriel he brought back, and said: "Not only must you be able to read, but you must also be able to write. More useful than a sword, you know?"
Gabriel bowed his head and said, "Understood, young master."
Du Dian nodded slightly, "Go."
Gabriel turned around with his little book and left. Behind him, a small house made of countless small building blocks was placed on the table. The little girl Heteka was lying on the table, carefully Stacked on the roof, a head of emerald green hair lined the small face, as cute as a porcelain doll.
Du Dian got up, sat down on the desk, smiled slightly, and said, "What is this?"
Hetka felt timid towards him, shrank her body, and said, "It's a house."
"Do you like this house?"
"like."
Du Dian smiled slightly, stretched out his fingers and flicked lightly at the bottom of the house, a building block flew out, pushed the next building block to move its position, and with a bang, the tall house collapsed in an instant, turning into a table of scattered building blocks.
Heteka was stunned, looked at the scattered building blocks on the table, and then at Du Dian in front of her. Her lips were flattened, her eyes were red, and she seemed to want to cry, but under the gaze of Du Dian's smile, she didn't dare to cry. Come out, she just cried out last time, and then her brother was punished to swing the sword three thousand times, and at night he was so tired that his hands were so sore that he couldn't even hold a table knife.
"It seems that your construction is not strong enough." Du Dian said.
Hetka pursed her lips, about to cry.
"Let's do it again." Du Dian smiled slightly, "Don't be angry, if the things you build are messy, you will be punished."
Heteka flattened her mouth, sucked in a handful of snot, sucked it back into her nasal cavity, raised her hand and continued to pick up building blocks and pile them up.
