Why are there monsters in my territory?

Chapter 77 Returning to "Home" (8 more)
Having just been assassinated, it is naturally impossible for the two viscount candidates to go home unprotected like this.

Therefore, Meng Gete, the only strong silver man at the scene, volunteered to take up the post of guard.It is really shocking that the dignified and powerful silver man is guarding the two juniors like an ordinary attendant.

After all, when the two did not inherit the title and were only candidates, their status was comparable to that of a baron, and Li Yong, who was expelled from the power center by the former viscount, was even worse than a down-and-out baron.

On the other hand, with Linowei as a communicator, Luna and Judith, who were already on their way, resumed their normal speed after knowing that Montgomery had arrived.

As for the two law enforcement teams... the later team was alright. After all, they didn't attack Li Yong directly. They could argue that they came here to protect the Lord. I have to say that their timing was too coincidental. Barely escaped a catastrophe.

But they were ordered by Meng Gete to inform the other teams of the "Assassin" news, and the city was closed to prevent the prisoners from escaping.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see their original purpose. This is also convenient for the law enforcement team and the two young masters to have a buffer period. After that, they will inevitably come to the door to apologize.

Paul's team was in a terrible situation, and Meng Gete was in front of him. Of course, none of them escaped, and they were escorted to the Black Horse Castle by their immediate superiors.

In a sense, Menggott, as one of the guardians of the Konrad family, could hardly shirk the blame for what happened to his subordinates. He personally escorted and rhymed the prisoner, which can be regarded as an apology.

Of course, as the captain of the law enforcement team, is he aware of the anomalies of the two law enforcement teams... This is naturally acquiesced by him.After all, Reinhardt was the first choice for succession before, and his mother, Mrs. Chelsea, made some small moves, so of course he turned a blind eye.

But the assassination that was supposed to flatten the obstacles for Reinhardt in one fell swoop and let him succeed in a smooth manner failed. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that through this experience, the alliance between the two viscount candidates to jointly fight against the mastermind behind the scenes is almost as stable as Mount Tai.

The combination of the second son, whose background is slightly weaker than that of the eldest son, and the third son, who rises like a comet, instantly makes the originally clear situation confusing.

At this point, no one is sure who will successfully inherit the title of Viscount.

……

The viscount died, and before the successor was confirmed, the decision-making power for many matters in the territory, in order, was in the hands of the viscount's first lady, Mrs. Chelsea.

As an agent, his power is of course not comparable to that of a real viscount, but at present, he is undoubtedly No.1 in Hongsen territory.

But Mrs. Chelsea, who regards the title as her eldest son, has completely regarded herself as a mistress in her heart.

At this moment, she naturally had no reason not to ask about the assassination of the two viscount candidates.

The main hall of Black Horse Castle, this is the place where Rudnor used to rectify his subordinates and issue orders.It is clearly in the same room, but it is set up in one-third of the place. There are stairs nearly one meter high, which divide the hall into two floors with different heights.This is exactly what Rudnor designed to make it easier for him to look down at everyone.

Now, Mrs. Chelsea is sitting high on the big armchair on the second floor, with one hand on the armrest of the chair and dragging her somewhat round head.

She has a round face the size of a casserole pot, and has a plump and bloated figure. If she stands with the slightly thinner Viscount, it is the difference between a bamboo pole and a water tank.To put it bluntly, this is a fat pig in human skin.

Therefore, the previous Earl Tulip admired Rudnor who married his daughter, Mrs. Chelsea, without hesitation and ecstatically.

On the second floor, besides Chelsea, there are two seats. One sits Claire’s mother, Mrs. Riley—this person’s figure and appearance belong to the normal level among nobles—the other sits A middle-aged man with a mustache.In addition to these sitting ones, there were naturally also those servants who were standing serving and eating them, and Nosy, who was standing beside Mrs. Chelsea with a gloomy expression.

On the lower floor, except for a few people standing around Li Yong, Paul and the ten knights of the law enforcement team under his command were restrained by Meng Gete, bound tightly, and knelt on the ground.

Among these knights, even the captain Paul, who had reached the Bronze rank, was pale and his eyes were dodging at this moment.You don't need to think about it, they should be very rich in mental activities now.

Madam Chelsea looked past the ten kneeling knights of the law enforcement team, and her anger could not be concealed in her eyes.This is of course because they are not good at handling things - Li Yong and Claire are both standing here well now.

After all, it is very important to deal with the injury. In fact, it was already afternoon when the group came to this hall.

"Master Mistress (Viscountess), Jiu Shu greets you."

Li Yong, Claire, and Montgomery saluted the two wives in turn. As for Li Yong's "followers", they did not have the right to greet each other, they just saluted individually.

After Claire gave her mother a reassuring look, she looked at Mrs. Chelsea, and a mocking smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Reinhardt has not yet returned, and the arrangements for the law enforcement team are obviously all made by the mistress.

Everyone present was well aware of this matter, but no one revealed it.

When Li Yong saluted Mrs. Chelsea, he didn't even move his eyelids.

"Master Menggot, I have troubled you to take care of me this time." Mrs. Chelsea first thanked Menggot.

Meng Gete smiled slightly, and replied casually: "The Viscountess does not need to be polite, this is a matter of the subordinates. Rather, it is the lack of supervision of the subordinates that led to the assassination of the two young masters..."

Meng Gete shook his head and sighed as he spoke, covering up all his mistakes, making Chelsea's eyes soften a little.

Meng Gete suddenly turned his head to look at the bearded man on the right, and asked, "By the way, who is this lord?"

The man smiled and said, "Finger Rudolph, just call me Finger, this time I just came to see my sister."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Meng Gete nodded, but he was not as enthusiastic as before.

The name of the Tulip Patriarch resounded throughout the empire, but this Finger was unknown.The reason for appearing here is also very simple.As a viscount with no hereditary territory, he was naturally very envious of the Konrad family's territory.

After a short greeting and introduction.

When Chelsea turned to Claire, her gaze became cold again. She nodded slightly and showed a very flat smile: "Claire, I haven't seen you for a year. I heard that you were finally promoted to Bronze Mage a month ago, and you were still promoted by Sp Professor Linde accepted as a disciple? Yes, it did not weaken the prestige of my Konrad family."

With a smile on her face, Claire bowed to Chelsea and said, "Your Majesty is overrated."

"Hey, this kind of thing happened to you just after you came back. As the mistress, I really feel sorry for you. The law and order in Dark Horse City is not good, and I, the acting head of the house, cannot escape the blame. Sister Riley, I have to apologize to you too. "

"How can this be your problem, sister?"

"That's right, mistress, I'm too weak, and I'm ashamed of Professor Springer's teachings, so I should kill the assassin on the spot! How could it be your fault?"

On the surface, the two parties are harmonious, the mother is kind and the son is filial, and the sisters are harmonious, but in their hearts, they probably want to tear each other into pieces.

After that, it was finally Li Yong's turn.

If Chelsea's gaze could only be considered cold just now, it is undoubtedly indifferent now.

She slapped the armrest heavily with her fat palm, and angrily said: "Li Yong Conrad, you shame on the nobleman, you caused such a big trouble just after you came back!?"
