Chapter 28(2/3)

Viscount Falis definitely did not think that Count Robert was completely at ease with him. Perhaps someone was watching him. This idea made Viscount Falis dare not act rashly.

"Lord Lord, unlike Count Mathil, Count Robert is more despicable than Count Mathil, because he is quite clear that physical evidence is extremely unreliable. He found some witnesses, some ignorant and easily bribed Nangang people. These Nangang people were found for him by merchants instigated by Count Robert. The Envoy wanted to rely on these witnesses to prove that you were from Nangang, but you were not the real heir to the lord."

Rebow had already heard the meaning of Viscount Falis, and he asked quietly: "Earl Robert is really deliberate, but I do not think there is no physical evidence, but only the alleged lawsuit can be established legally. Those merchants who are causing trouble are a group of very troublesome people. I had already ordered the acting lord to let these merchants move from Nangang, how could they still dare to make trouble?"

Viscount Falis obviously knew what Rebow really meant, and his feelings for the merchants were just to divert the attention of others to those merchants.

Falis saw that Earl Fesnan was about to explain, and he quickly said, "Lord, you are indeed proficient in the law and know that this small accusation will not harm you, but this accusation will inevitably affect your reputation and allow people with ulterior motives to take advantage of the excuses. Therefore, I suggest that you prepare as soon as possible. Although you may not take the testimony of a shopkeeper and a sailor's wife seriously, I suggest that you prepare as soon as possible."

Except for Viscount Falis's words, except for Rebo, Ekter and Miss Frera understood, others just thought that this was a manifestation that Viscount Falis would consider to be the heirs of the little lord.

Both Rebow and the other two were quite calm characters. Miss Frera seemed indifferent, while Eckert seemed to be thinking about something. Rebow nodded slightly, as if he had some recognition of Viscount Falis's words.

In fact, Ribo's heart was turbulent now, and he had already heard that the sailor's wife who Viscount Falis was referring to must be Auntie Betty, who was closest to him.

Rebow was deeply worried about Aunt Betty's safety. If he hadn't wanted to know more from Viscount Falis, he would have rushed to Nangang as soon as possible to visit Aunt Betty, despite his health not being fully recovered.

Viscount Falis was glad that he had made the little lord's heir understand his value, and it was time for him to consider his safety.

Viscount Falis said: "To create momentum, Count Robert told all the merchants the rumors he had made, and in addition to these merchants, he also arranged another group of people to spread rumors for him. You can never imagine how despicable he was."

Rebow nodded again. He had been with Eckert until now, so he was not sure about what Falis meant.

Anyway, he had no intention of taking any action against Viscount Falis.

Mr. Hyde once told him that the most wise leader did not make his subordinates loyal to him, but could make the enemy's subordinates who were shaken in their hearts sincerely surrender to his own account.

A broad mind and a belly that can accommodate others are necessary as a leader.

Although Ribo has never known why Mr. Hyde told himself these things, Ribo will never forget Mr. Hyde's words.

"Thank you for your reminder, but I don't think this kind of ghost trick will be of any use. If I want, I hope to hire you as my consultant. I always have some unclear aspects of the vast and profound sacred code of the Kingdom of Francis."

When Falis heard Ribo say this, he felt relieved, which was exactly the promise he needed.

"Lord, you may not know that when the Earl Robert said goodbye to the Earl Robert, the decree given to the Earl Robert was not only one, but also had a decree from His Majesty the King in his hands. This decree granted the Earl Robert absolute power. It was through this decree that the Envoy could do whatever he wanted.

“As far as I know, Lord Robert seems to have gathered a group of outlaws through the merchants. The Lord is planning a major action to create a riot in Southport.

"When the riot spread to Serthborg, the Earl Robert took out the will of His Majesty the King and took all the power of Serthborg in his own hands. In addition, the merchants helped the fire, Lord Robert could take this opportunity to eliminate all the forces that blocked him.

"And he doesn't need to confront Lord Lord head-on. He knows very well that you can't solve the problem with force. I think he will target the commercial unions in Nangang that do not obey his control." Viscount Falis leaned into Ribo's ear and whispered.

Some words were heard by him with a raised voice and intentionally, such as the bribery of the desperate people to harass Nangang, but some things were lowered and only for Ribo to hear them alone, such as the authorization of His Majesty the King.

When everyone except Rebow, Ekter and Frera were shocked when they heard Viscount Falis's words.

Especially the Earl Fesnan, the naturally cowardly acting lord, seemed to be facing a catastrophe, and cold sweat kept pushing out of his forehead. He held his hands as if he wanted to tighten something to support his body.

"Vissue Falis, thank you for reminding us of this matter. However, in order to make you feel at ease and to let you sleep peacefully at night, I can reveal a secret to you." Eckert walked to Falis from behind Rebow and said.

He had received training and his hearing was naturally different from that of ordinary people. In addition, Viscount Falis did not stop him from getting closer to inquire. Obviously, Viscount Falis regarded him as Rebbo's confidant think tank, so he also heard the things Viscount Falis said softly.

In fact, when those important figures saw that their little lord was indifferent to the news, most of them had already guessed that this news was no longer a secret to the little lord, and the little lord probably had already thought of a countermeasure.

Of course, these people definitely do not include Count Fesnan.

The other person who did not see this was the elderly Viscount Relta. This loyal old man was so concerned about the fate of the Medin family that he had long lost his normal heart.

Rebow didn't know what Eckert was planning. Since Mr. Hyde had not told him about this, he was most certain that he would completely shatter the Earl of Robert's plan.

"We have long guessed that Count Robert might have a powerful killer weapon in his hands, and the tricks he can use are just these. What he can rely on most is His Majesty the King's trust, which was originally within our expectations." He deliberately did not mention the authorization document.

Eckert glanced at everyone, and saw Earl Fesnan recovering gradually before saying, "In order to deal with all the arrogant actions of Earl Robert, we have long asked the Pope for an authorized immunity through Elder Monte. Lord Falis, you are proficient in the law and should be very clear about what the authorized immunity represents. You should be more clear about the Pope's ruling and His Majesty the King's will, who is more authoritative and more effective."

Eckert's words not only completely dispelled the big rock that was suppressed in everyone's hearts, but also made everyone feel confident.

Viscount Falis also secretly thanked that he had bet the right bet.

In fact, one of the reasons why he was hesitant at first and wanted to surrender to the Little Lord was that considering that the Holy See was obviously on the side of the Little Lord, the day when Count Roberto de Roberde arrived in Fort Serth, when he issued His Majesty the first decree, it was because Elder Mondie obstructed him that he became the guardian of the lord's heir.

Although this was the failure of Count Robert, it is undeniable that it was also the failure of His Majesty the King.

Viscount Falis and the other important officials of the Serthburgh, who were in a calm mood, left the reception room after wishing the lord's heirs in a routine manner.

Eckert always stood at the window on the second floor, watching the people go away.

"Will Auntie Betty be a problem?" Ribo asked worriedly. Now there are no outsiders, he can finally ask Eckert carefully.

"It shouldn't be anything big." Eckert said after thinking.

"Although we didn't know that Count Robert was able to find out your true identity, we were prepared for this. Do you think that your Aunt Betty and those who will confirm your identity are not monitored and protected by them? Mr. Hyde is definitely not such careless person.

"And you should be very clear that the pirates that can be found in Southport are all under Mr. Hyde's men. The most miscalculated thing about Earl Robert is this. He asked the pirates to deal with the Federation of Commerce, but Mr. Hyde has arranged for those pirates to let those merchants with ulterior motives suffer the consequences.

"So, even if we don't know that your Aunt Betty has become the target of Count Robert, she will never have anything to do. You can rest assured about this. As for the clerk, Mr. Hyde will definitely deal with it properly." Eckert said, and his tone was extremely cold when he said the last sentence.

"However, I still have to go to Nangang. This matter is of great importance after all." Eckert turned to Ribo and said, "Your current physical condition makes me very worried. The only thing I worry about is, what if something happens to you after I leave? Maybe it is more appropriate for you to live in the church for the time being, in the name of recuperation, and the reasons are very sufficient."

"Don't worry, there is no problem with Ruibo's injury. He is alive! Except for the place where his arms and calf are penetrated by arrows, there is no problem in other places. Is that true?" Frera said with a chuckling.

Eckert walked to Ribo, stroked his head and said softly, "You better be careful when you are with Frera."

After making this kind joke, Eckert walked downstairs, and his mind had already flown to Nangang.

"Hear? Eckert asked you to pay attention to your body, so don't mess with Rona and Lina anymore." Frera laughed.

Ruibo's face was flushed and although he didn't mean it, when the two cute maids revealed such a little bit of their heart, he couldn't help but pull the two maids onto the bed.

Now except for Lena who is lying on the bed for health reasons, the other five maids have that kind of intimate relationship with them.

Sometimes, Ribo had to think carefully about whether he had indeed become a perfect playboy.

Although Miss Frera deliberately cultivated herself into this way, Ribo suspected that he was a playboy by nature, but his previous life made it difficult for him to expect such a playboy.

It takes more than two days to take the fastest carriage from Serthbor to Nangang.

This journey is not only far away, but also through the continuous Batter Forest and the bumpy and undulating Lai to the hills between South Harbor. Only the road in Pitton County is relatively flat, but due to the poverty of this county for many years, the road here is dilapidated.

Eckert dared not rely on the carrier pigeon left by Mr. Hyde to deliver messages.

This time the matter was so important that he had to go to Southport to visit Mr. Hyde in person. Once the woman named Betty fell into the hands of Count Robert, it would be a very troublesome thing.

Eckert doubts whether Rebbo would compromise with Earl Robert.

This is a risk that cannot be taken.

Except for that woman, all the businessmen who knew the details of Ribo were huge threats.

The anxious Eckert was almost racing against time. He only took him a day and a half to run.

Of course, there is a price to speed up. The best and lightest carriage that originally belonged to the church has been severely damaged by collisions and scratches.

The two drivers who drove the car were already exhausted, and their nerves were nervous and overdrawn.

When they arrived at the entrance of Mr. Hyde's hotel, Eckert almost jumped from the carriage to the ground.

But as soon as he stood on the ground, Eckert put away his anxious look and returned to his original calm and gentle appearance.

The hotel guy was very familiar with Eckert, and like Mr. Hyde, he was also a regular visitor here.

Without hello, Eckert knew where Mr. Hyde lived, so he walked straight upstairs.

To his pleasure, Mr. Hyde did not leave, and in the room, he was talking to Fez in close conversation.

When Hyde and Fez saw Eckert breaking in, and then saw the tired and anxious look on Eckert's face, they naturally knew that an accident had happened.

Fez knew exactly what he should do now. He left his seat and walked to the window, looked out the window, and then pulled the heavy curtains up.

The room immediately became dark, and only the ray of light that penetrated through the gaps in the curtain brought a little light to the dark room.

Fez was about to turn around and walk out the door, but unexpectedly Eckert grabbed him.

Fez immediately understood that this matter was either related to him or needed his own help.

Three people formed a circle in the dark and sat there.

There was a sound outside the door, followed by a knock on the door with three shorts, three longs and two shorts.

Eckert knew that the butler was standing at the door and letting everyone go, and they could talk freely without worrying about someone eavesdropping.

"Is something wrong with Serthborg?" asked Fez, who was more impatient than Mr. Hyde.

"No, the problem is not in Serthborough, but here," Eckert said.

He cleared his throat, and the long journey made him dry: "But luckily, a rebel appeared in the alliance of Count Robert, who was Viscount Falis, the Chief of the Law Officer."

"A real hypocrite." Fez interrupted. Just as Miel knew everything about Nangang, Fez was also familiar with every family in the south and the main members of those families.

"You know him very well," Eckert nodded in the darkness. "But he brought us important news. Some of the merchants obviously recognized Ribo's identity, knew that he was a small clerk in Southport, and even knew that he had a crucial relative, Aunt Betty."

"It's indeed a big trouble. Are there many people who know about this?" Mr. Hyde asked for a while.

"According to Viscount Falis, Count Robert had informed all the merchants of this news. Although he said this may be to save his life, he must be afraid of being killed by us. However, according to Count Robert's character, the possibility of doing that is quite high." Along the way, Eckert had been thinking about it for a long time, and he had spent a lot of energy on every possibility and carefully studied it.

"Well, that is, it is impossible to block all the news and silence all the insiders." Fez said deeply, his tone of a low voice.

"Let the rumors exist in this world. If there is not even a rumor, this matter will become quite strange. Since it is a rumor, it should not be just a version, right?" Mr. Hyde's voice was filled with a slight smile.

"You mean, let's spread some rumors ourselves and dilute the truth with rumors?" Eckert already understood what Mr. Hyde meant.

"Yes, since the lord's heir can be a clerk, or the son of a dock worker, the son of a captain, or the illegitimate son of a foreign nobleman, since these merchants have found a woman named Betty, we can also find an old grandfather named Bani, an uncle named Bell, and a large number of missing teenagers of the same age as Ribo." Mr. Hyde said, and the smile in his words became even stronger.
