Chapter 32 I'm Not Embarrassing You
Chapter 32 I won't make things difficult for you
Suddenly, like a spring breeze came, thousands of pear blossoms bloomed... While He Taiping was singing like this, the news about the news broadcast had become the focus of the entire Campas discussion overnight. From the next morning, the first sentence of all residents at the beginning of the meeting was - "Have you watched the news broadcast last night?"
So, those who have watched it nodded repeatedly and expressed their views with joy; those who have not seen it sighed repeatedly and could only look at others bragging with envious eyes. And among all, the happiest ones are of course the owners of those teahouses and restaurants. You know, because the guests are talking a lot, the sales of alcohol in their shops suddenly increased, and even the scene became much more lively than usual.
Of course, than discussing what happened everywhere, residents across the country are more keen on what happened to the old duke. They endured a strange smile, used that strange tone to replay the scene, and then made strange sighs and had strange associations. In fact, the several classic scenes of Duke Victor on TV yesterday have been reproduced countless times in people's mouths, including shock, anger, sigh and even envy...
Soon after, the side effects of this incident began to appear. In Constantine's parliament, the members who had originally vowed to support Duke Victor yesterday suddenly turned their fingers and claimed that they had no friendship with Victor at all. In the aristocratic circle of Naga City, many old nobles who had been in love with Victor for many years also suddenly suffered from amnesia and almost purely asked 'Who is Victor'; as for those ordinary residents, they began to recall some of their impressions of the Duke several years ago, in order to prove that his absurd actions had long been shown...
In fact, almost everyone was very happy, and the only person who was unhappy was the poor person. The unlucky Duke of Victor, when he got up from bed in the early morning, even thought that everything that happened last night was just a nightmare. But a few minutes later, when he heard several servants outside the door whispering about his figure, his eyes rolled and he fainted...
"Old, Master, are you okay?" But fortunately, at least, butler David was still very loyal. He was walking into the bedroom with a cup of coffee. When he was shocked to see the duke who fainted on the ground, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and at the same time he comforted him: "Master, things are already like this. Even if you faint, it doesn't make sense. I think we must find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible!"
Victor, who had already planned to jump into the moat, was shocked when he heard this, grabbed Victor's arm and asked hurriedly: "Yes, let's find a way to regain my reputation first. David, what do you think we should do? Should you let Lord Anthony think of a way to make those untouchables prohibit discussing this matter again!"
"This, I'm afraid the residents of other cities are already discussing..." David sighed helplessly, breaking Victor's hope. However, after a few minutes of silence, he hesitated with some timidity: "In fact, please breathe a little and listen to me - if we want to save this matter, we may have to find the initiator."
"What?" Victor was slightly stunned, then jumped up and cursed, "Bastard, I would rather die than go to find that bastard! Don't think I'll beg him. Wouldn't you beg him enough and throw him to Paradise City?"
"But the problem is that this is a more serious problem than death." As things go, David also took the initiative. He smiled bitterly and retorted with a rare opportunity: "Master, let me say something ugly - now the most important thing for us is to restore your reputation. Even if the Lord He Taiping offers very excessive conditions, we must knock down our teeth and swallow it in our stomachs. As long as this difficulty can be overcome, it will not be too late to find a way to deal with him in the future!"
Victor was about to get angry when he heard this, but was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help but sigh, and his erect chest immediately flattened. David looked at his expression and knew that his harsh and weak man had already surrendered. He asked tentatively: "Master, then let's prepare the carriage now. Can you see?"
After his lips trembled for a few minutes, Victor sighed helplessly and waved his hand to David to do it. Ten minutes later, an inconspicuous carriage drove out from the side door of the Duke's mansion, quickly left Naga City, and rushed towards Paradise City. Amid the bumps along the way, the old duke with a depressed face was shaking his body, and could only pray to the bastard not to speak too badly to him...
However, his guess was not all correct. After hearing the news of the visit of the distinguished guest, Mr. He Taiping was not only not very harsh, but could be said to have greeted him with a spring breeze. That bright smile seemed to be reunited with an old friend who had not seen for many years, so kind and enthusiastic - but in the eyes of Victor and David, no matter from any angle, this smile was like a beast seeing a small livestock walking into his territory...
"Duke Victor, what gusts of wind blow you?" The man who seemed to have amnesia opened his arms exaggeratedly, not knowing whether he was planning to hug him or to strangle the other person on the spot. Drizzt and Roger followed him expressionlessly, and the cold light in his eyes was quite a bit like "sharpening the knife and rushing toward the pigs and sheep".
"Bastard, why don't you die!" Victor cursed for more than a dozen words in his heart, but had to make a slight ease on his face, and barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Mr. He, I'm here this time, hoping that you can help me clarify the news last night and try to restore my reputation as much as possible."
"What happened last night? What were you talking about? Drizzt, Roger, do you know?" He Taiping was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at the two deployments behind him. The dark elves shook their heads together with the fat man, as if their intelligence had degenerated to below eighty at the same time, and they could immediately travel to another world to become king.
"I mean, the scandal about me..." If resentment can kill people, then He Taiping has died countless times. But Shi resentment cannot kill people, so Victor had to continue to beg in a low voice and reveal his scars again. Perhaps because he knew that the more he dragged it, the more unlucky he would just close his hands and admit defeat to the other party: "Mr. He, I was wrong about what happened a few days ago. Please have a lot of help, sir, please."
"Where do you say, I will definitely help you if you can." He Taiping hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and replied with a smile, "In fact, the news broadcast last night was not planned by me. As for that news, God knows who filmed it and sent it to me! But don't worry, since you already know about this, I will definitely help you solve it!"
Victor and David looked at each other, obviously not expecting that the other party would be so easy to talk, and they vaguely felt that there must be something else. As expected, before he finished speaking, Rogge, who was standing behind He Taiping, frowned slightly and said, "Boss, if we want to restore the Duke's reputation, we may have to re-create a news to prove that the Duke's actions are controlled by the magician's puppet, but if that's the case..."
In this world, what is more terrifying than "but". Victor's heart sank when he heard this. Before he could speak, Drizzt had already continued Roger's words and pondered: "But if we want to reshoot a scene, we may have to spend a lot of money. Moreover, if we want to find someone to re-scene the scene and find a mage to release the puppet technique, it will also cost a lot of money. In addition, we have to pay the filming staff a closure fee, which adds up..."
"Well, does it take a lot of money? Tell me how much it is. I think the Duke will definitely pay the fee." He Taiping smiled slightly and agreed to Victor on his own initiative. The Dark Elf paused for a moment, secretly calculated the total amount, and finally stretched out two fingers and said, "If you count carefully, you may need 200,000 gold coins."
"What, what! Two hundred thousand, you'll just grab it!" Victor was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but curse. You know, although his family is rich, he has retired from the position of prime minister and has no way to earn. Therefore, for him, 200,000 gold coins, almost equal to the total income of three years, is not a small amount.
"Go and grab it?" Looking at the excited Victor, He Taiping was not angry at all. Instead, he said calmly, "Good idea, then Drizzt, let's follow the advice of Duke Victor and rob the bank tomorrow - I forgot to say that this passage has been filmed just now. If you are caught, we will say it was suggested by Lord Duke."
"Hello..." Victor was almost spitting out the other person's face, but forced himself to swallow it back at the last moment. David pulled his clothes and signaled that it was not the time to touch the stone with the other person's egg. Because of the blue silence for a moment, the old duke finally waved his hand in disappointment: "Forget it, 200,000 is 200,000! But Mr. He, I hope that in the next news broadcast, I can see the news that clarified for me."
