I traveled through time and became a slave, and the noble lady was obsessed with me

Chapter 265 The Truth

Under Jose's nervous gaze, Chen Fan didn't care at all and just smiled:

"That's right. If you still have some wine, bring it over. It's a good thing for the winter."

Hearing this, Jose breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, Jose has heard what happened here yesterday from Kanter.

Jose knew that this new lord was definitely not someone to be fooled.

Originally, Jose was waiting for Chen Fan to take the initiative to call him, but he did not expect that his youngest son would directly chat with the noble Lord.

"Ahem, Lord Chen Fan, I am Jose, the mayor here."

"Sorry, I went to the next town for something yesterday and I just came back to see you."

Jose glared at Kanter and told his youngest son to shut up, and then he was able to speak out.

Compared with Kanter's smile, Chen Fan looked at Jose and his expression became much colder.

"I'm meeting you here because of Kanter, a nice young man."

"Mayor Jose, if you want to meet in an official capacity, then I think it is appropriate to meet in an official place."

"I will go to the town administration office later. If there are any official matters, we can discuss it there."

Jose wanted to report something, but all his words were blocked immediately.

The youngest son next to him pulled himself up and winked at him.

This made Jose have no choice but to shut up and quietly watch his youngest son, whom he had always felt was incompetent, chatting with the noble man.

Seeing Chen Fan being amused by Kanter from time to time, Jose felt an inexplicable fear deep in his heart.

What happened in front of him made Jose feel like he was getting old?

Don’t you have any use for your own set?

This is like worrying that one will lose the meaning of existence and lose his role in front of others?

Jose couldn't hear clearly what the two people in front of him were talking about. He just nodded in agreement from time to time, looking in a daze.

"Master Chen Fan, let's meet later and I will take you there."

"Okay, I'll find you later."

what?

where to go?

By the time Jose reacted, he had already been pulled out of the nobleman's room by his youngest son.

When he came outside and took a breath of fresh air, Jose felt a lot more awake.

At this time, I remembered the last question that the two of them had just talked about.

"Where are you taking your noble lord?"

"Ah? Father, weren't you listening just now? We said we were going to visit the castle."

When he heard the word "Castle", Jose's face turned pale.

"You want to take the lord to the castle?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you mention it first..."

"you you!"

Jose pointed to his youngest son with a very ugly expression on his face.

The last words were still not spoken, Jose just walked out with a livid face.

After they left, Lilia slowly walked out from the small room next to her.

In Lilia's hand, she also held a medicine bottle with the lid opened, and a faint fragrance was wafting inside.

As soon as she came outside, Lilia hurriedly closed the bottle and opened the window for ventilation.

"You also need to go out for a while, otherwise you will also be affected by this potion."

Chen Fan nodded, went outside, and took a breath of fresh air to suppress the thoughts in his heart.

This is the magic potion contributed by Lilia.

The truth is scary!

It allows people to unknowingly reveal a little bit of the secrets they have hidden and resisted during their emotional changes.

Of course, for this, Chen Fan also paid a sum of gold coins to Lilia.

From freezing snowy weather to suddenly entering a warm room, this can be regarded as a change of mood. Jose and Kanter unknowingly entered Chen Fan's preparations.

Kanter didn't have much defense and fell into the trap easily, constantly telling what he knew.

And a shrewd person like Jose, even in this state, has remained quite calm.

It’s just that something was exposed in the end.

"Castle."

During the influence, Jose only said the word "Castle", and then Kanter mostly added.

This old castle is where the previous baron and his family were burned to death.

It was also a place where the Knights Guild and the army sent people to check, but people died, but they didn't cover it up.

All the clues converged on this.

Chen Fan had an intuition in his heart. As long as he could figure out what happened in the castle back then.

Then we can figure out what this town is hiding.

"It's a pity. If we could invite the Archbishop, I would probably feel more at ease."

As Lilia spoke, she also remembered the last time Archbishop Andre helped them exorcise evil spirits.

Just hearing these words, Chen Fan felt a little helpless.

It's okay now, I don't dare to go to Archbishop Andre anymore.

The trouble hidden behind the other party might be more serious than this place.

"Go and call everyone. After I finish going to the town administration office, we will go to the castle to have a look."

"Be prepared, there may be some problems there."

After leaving the matter of going to the castle to Lilia, Chen Fan took Julia to the town administration office first.

……

Fenglin Town, Town Administration Bureau.

It sounds nice here, it's called a town administration, but in fact it's just like a neighborhood committee, not particularly subdivided and formal.

The biggest one is naturally the mayor, followed by the sheriff, and the treasurer in charge of taxation.

Although there is no lord here, taxes still have to be paid to the royal capital.

In addition to these three official officials, the others are small village officials who handle various large and small affairs in the villages and towns. They do not even have a formal establishment.

Salaries and benefits are all on their own, and they can earn as much as they can from the town.

All matters that happen in the town, big or small, must be handled here.

This management office is spacious enough. Anyway, the most indispensable thing in a rural town is land.

When Chen Fan arrived, there were dozens of people waiting for him at the door.

They stood in the cold wind, with forced smiles on their faces, welcoming the new lord.

There is no need for the mayor to arrange this, everyone comes out to do it on their own initiative.

After all, a lord is the earth emperor who controls the life and death of everyone here.

To put it bluntly, this entire territory is the private property of the lord.

As long as he doesn't do anything to betray the kingdom in the territory, no one will take care of him even if he kills a few townspeople.

This is the nobility, this is the lord.

And Chen Fan is the new emperor who dominates the population of more than 2,000 people.

How could we not ask these officials, big and small, to come out to greet him in the cold wind.

Chen Fan dismounted and walked directly inside without pretending to be a good person.

He needed to let everyone know that the new lord was not someone to be fooled.

Don't try to do any small tricks under your own eyes.
