Chapter 555 Exposed
Everyone in the hall of the Lord's Mansion is still there, but the acting lord Yurio has already sat on the main seat where Paul was sitting. He is holding a quill and writing quickly on the paper. He writes letters freely, whether he stops to consider the specific content of the letter with others or not. He is not eager to express his opinions. When others state their opinions to him, he always responds with "um, um" and behaves very modestly. .
Old Ford, the general manager of the Government Affairs Council, was holding a letter just written by the acting lord, reviewing word by word whether it was appropriate.
At this time, a person quietly walked into the hall, Butler Philip, who had left lonely before the formal ceremony.
The old butler approached the manager of the Government Affairs Council. Mr. Manager sensed someone approaching. He twisted his body and turned his attention to Philip.
When the old butler left just now, Manager Ford also knew it. He really wanted to leave his seat to comfort this old friend who had been with him for decades, but he had more important things to do, so he had to put all his emotions aside. The back of the head.
Now that he saw him leaving and coming back, he asked softly: "Oh, Philip, what can I do for you?"
"My lord, steward." Philip whispered but did not hide it. He said, as if he was afraid of disturbing others, "I was sorting out the belongings in Master Paul's study just now. There is a safe there with the password only he and you know, so I want you to go there. I think I should give it to the new owner as soon as possible. Lord, please vacate the room."
"Oh, it's the password locker." Old Ford blinked, "Actually, there's nothing in it, it's just some financial statements. I just went up to get them. Come down and show it to Lord Yurio."
"Comrades, Lord Yulio, I will take my leave for a moment." After that, he stood up.
"Please do as you please." Yurio sat next to Old Ford and listened to the conversation between the two word for word without any suspicion.
Among the people present, only Bernard, the lord’s secretary, was slightly startled, but then his expression returned to calm, and no one else noticed.
Old Ford followed Phillip up to the second floor, one after the other. No one spoke on the way, and they just walked into Paul's office.
As soon as Controller Ford stepped in, Phillip closed the door to the room.
“What happened?” Manager Ford asked Philip impatiently.
He didn't even know the password to the safe in the lord's office, and Butler Philip also knew that he didn't know the password. When he just heard Phillip's words, he was very confused. Fortunately, the steward's brain reacted faster than his facial muscles, so he didn't show any noticeable expression.
“Burgan is the traitor lurking in Lake Town!”
Butler Philip opened his mouth and told the news that shocked Director Ford.
"Why...why do you say that?"
Controller Ford shook his beard, although he had also doubted it.
Butler Philip gave him a small note, "Ms. Ladi's pet parrot brought back a personal letter from Lord Graiman, which said that the Wallen family from Burgan was involved in the attack on him."
< br>As soon as he heard the news about Paul, Controller Ford opened his eyes wide and grabbed Phillip's lapel, "What about Lord Grayman?"
"Master Grayman is still suffering under the guard of the guards. Support, but this parrot has already brought his letter for help to the 8th Infantry Battalion closest to him." Butler Philip was worried when he said this, but he was no longer as pale as before.
"So Lord Grayman may still be alive?" Old Ford's heart, which had been silent due to despair, started to beat again.
“Yes, it’s completely possible!” Butler Philip put on a firm tone.
"Wait, you said parrot?"
"It's right there!" Butler Philip pointed to the south of the room. Manager Ford turned around and looked, and sure enough, it was indeed the parrot of Setia's manager. He had seen Ladi teasing this bird many times in her spare time.
Controller Ford immediately read the note that Philip handed him.
“Okay! Okay!”
The wrinkled face of the Director of the Government Affairs Council was twisted with anger, and a complete conspiracy gradually came together in his mind.
First, he tried his best to induce the lord to leave his ruling center and separate from his subjects, taking the opportunity to attack and kill them outside. Then, using his position, he controlled the militiamen who came for training, spreading the word that the lord had already The news of his death in the mutiny created the illusion of a foreign invasion (which may be true), and disguised himself as a loyalist, so that the already embittered ministers recognized the new lord they recommended. At this time, the garrison in Huxin Town was again Absence is a godsend.
With a snap, Controller Ford slapped the note on the table.
“We must take immediate action to prevent these traitors from succeeding. Philip, how many guards are there in the lord’s palace?”
“There are more than thirty people in the castle.”< br>
Philip thought for a moment, stroking his beard and said, "Thirty people are enough. Find a few who are good at it. Follow me back to the hall later. We will first control this guy Burgan. Based on Burgan's performance last night, It seems that he is the leader of the rebel group lurking in Lake Town."
Philip asked: "What if his accomplices outside want to rescue him? Or another situation happens...His. His accomplices were so crazy that they didn't care about his life or death, and now they had nearly two thousand militiamen in their hands."
"This..." After being asked this, Old Ford calmed down.
……
In the hall.
"What did you say?" Burgan almost shouted. Although he finally restrained himself, others still noticed his gaffe.
Just now one of his cronies ran into the Lord's Mansion and whispered a few words beside him.
But these few words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Burgan.
An army actually appeared outside Huxin Town, and its size was smaller than a battalion.
What's even more terrifying is that this army has muskets and cannons - naturally it is the regular army of Alda, because they are under the banner of the Alda army and Schroeder.
But...but...the four infantry battalions in the center of the lake should be far away now. Even if they get the news and immediately return to the town of the lake, they will never be able to go so fast.
Where did Schroeder find this army? Burgan couldn't figure it out.
Schroeder! Burgan did not expect that the chief of staff who ran out overnight would eventually cause him a big trouble.
We must start organizing defense immediately, Burgan judged this.
And you have to go there yourself, otherwise the militiamen will not be able to run over to that side immediately after meeting Chief of Staff Schroeder - many of them have met the Chief of Staff.
