Guidebook for the Dark Duke

    Duke Wilson threw his coat to Butler Chris behind him and went straight to the second floor, making Butler Chris so flustered, I'm afraid something big happened.

    When Duke Wilson entered the room, Kevin was circling the study anxiously and saw Duke Wilson come in, and hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Duke, things are going bad..."

    Seeing Kevin so anxious, Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning. Although Kevin was obedient, he was still a little more tender than Edson and Mel.

    "Calm down and talk."

    Kevin's tone couldn't help but stagnate, and his face was a little embarrassed.

    "What the **** is going on?" Duke Wilson slowly sat down on his act before asking.

    Kevin whispered: "Sir, Edson is dead."

    "What?" Duke Wilson couldn't help but look tight: "What the **** is going on!" He scolded in a low voice.

    Kevin couldn't help shaking, Duke Wilson's anger, he had already experienced it.

    "Sir, you told me to put Edson in jail before, but the person I sent today suddenly came back to report that Edson committed suicide last night and left a letter A suicide note for you." Kevin took out a letter from his sleeve as he spoke.

    Duke Wilson took the letter and frowned tightly. After he dealt with Ederson that day, he had the intention of not letting him live, but now that the wind is tight, he also He wouldn't act easily, so he only let his subordinates stare at Ederson, but unexpectedly, he committed suicide.

    "When did this happen? Does anyone else know?" Duke Wilson's face was very ugly. The clues, but Edson died suddenly, which really made him wonder if someone really was behind the scenes.

    Kevin glanced at Duke Wilson a little nervously, and said nervously: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid someone already knows, when that person found out that Ederson died, his neighbor Just came over and saw that scene, and now I'm afraid Sheriff Chandler has passed."

    Duke Wilson's lips pursed even tighter, it was too bad that two of his capable men were suddenly imprisoned and committed suicide within a few days, which made him How not to think too much.

    "Are you sure he committed suicide?" Duke Wilson said coldly.

    Kevin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied: "Ederson died of poisoning, and the door was locked, and no one else was there, our people still see things wrong, The door was forced open, and as soon as he entered, he found Ederson dead, which attracted the onlookers of the neighbors."

    Duke Wilson gritted his teeth, still feeling a little weird in his heart, he quickly opened the envelope in his hand and read the letter.

    There is nothing new in the letter, but an admission of incompetence and error, and then a plea to Duke Wilson to spare his family.

    In fact, Duke Wilson has heard a lot of words in his life, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a little harsh. Ederson did not say that he framed Colonel Mel until his death, and according to Duke Wilson's opinions on Ederson understands that he is not such a vulnerable person, and would admit defeat so easily.

    "Sir, what are we going to do next?" Kevin asked in a panic.

    Duke Wilson put down the letter in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes: "Go down, don't mention this to anyone, you just don't know, since Edson If you die, then die, you must not relax about Mel's affairs, you must pay close attention."

    Kevin felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, but with a smile on his face, he whispered, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

    Kevin left the study, but Duke Wilson was lost in thought. He looked at the white ceiling and thought about the past few days.

    Mel was in jail for suspected murder, but Ederson committed suicide at this time, although he would not let him go even if he was alive, but he died at this time, but let his own The situation has become very delicate.

    These people are more or less related to him.

    This kind of cognition made Duke Wilson suddenly vigilant, what is going on? At this moment, he suddenly felt that his eyes and ears were covered by someone. Delan Lier, who was very clear to him, suddenly became dark and unclear at this time. These things seemed to be foggy , leaving him at a loss.

    This night, the whole of Derainier fell into a kind of eerie serenity, and two people died within a few days. This is not a norm for a small town , At the same time, for some gentlemen with a keen sense of smell, the mood is more subtle. If an accident is just a coincidence, then two people have an accident, then it can only mean that there is a ghost behind this incident.

    And Evan slept well that night. After he returned to the church, he went to the inner room to pray. Delan Lier once again had a murder case. I don't know, and when he knew about it, it was already the next morning, but when he knew about it this morning, his mood was completely affected by another thing.

    Evan looked at the envelope in his hand with a complicated look. He never thought that after what happened, his father still had the face to write to him.

    Yes, at the breakfast table that day, Evan took a letter from his father, old Bruce, from his valet Tom.

    Evan doesn't want to have any contact with such family anymore, and during this period of time, they are also very conscious and basically don't disturb his life anymore, until today...

    Evan looked at the date on the envelope. It was sent three days ago. He was in London three days ago, but his father had sent the letter back. Coincidence or something, but he was quite sure of one thing, and his father never wanted Duke Wilson to see the letter.

    "Mr. Pastor, oh, this is really terrible." Tom, who didn't see Evan's expression, was still making a noise: "It's really unusual for another person to die. , Mr. Ederson, have you seen him too? Well, he is a gentleman, I really didn't expect..."

    Evan ignored Tom's endless rhetoric, and opened the envelope in front of him. The swashbuckling words seemed a little frivolous, and the emerald green ink seemed to carry the unique luxury of the Bruce family. Wen pressed his forehead, resisted the urge to swear, and began to force himself to read the letter.

    The letter is long, but the message is simple.

    His brother's marriage with Victoria broke down. After half a month of marriage, Victoria realized that something was wrong with his brother, so he left with his dowry, and Victoria's father also based on this time , is very angry with their family, and now the entire Bruce family is precarious.

    Evan agrees with this point very much. No matter how powerful the Bruce family is, they are just an ordinary squire with no real power, and Victoria's father is a member of parliament. If he wants to, he will kill Bruce Home is as easy as killing an ant.

    Evan turned the first page, but the words on the second page made him frown, his father hoped that he could come back and inherit the Bruce family's manor, his brother had few days After a good life, there will be no more descendants, so now, he is the most suitable person to inherit the manor.

    These words are very high-sounding, but Evan knows very well what his father wants to express. Now his father has completely offended the congressman. Behind Evan is the powerful Duke Wilson. If he can get the support of the Duke, then the Bruce family need not be afraid of a member of parliament.

    Evan had to say that his father was a shrewd man.

      Rejection, but it is worth considering that if he inherits the manor, then he will have to leave Delan Lier, and his identity as a priest may also change. Thinking of this, Evan's brows are wrinkled. deeper.

    Tom finally discovered Evan's weirdness at this time, and hurriedly stopped his long speech, looking at Evan with some doubts: "Mr. Pastor, what's the matter with you?"

    Evan looked at Tom and felt a little complicated. He waved his hand: "I'm fine, you go out first."

    Tom has never seen such a solemn expression of Evan, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and quickly retreated.

    As soon as Tom went out, the whole living room suddenly became quiet, Evan rubbed his throbbing temple, and the emotions in his heart suddenly became complicated enough to write a novel, the current situation is right For him, it was too complicated. This kind of thing happened to Duke Wilson, and his father didn't stop. He even threw him such a problem. A big manor is a supreme thing for him. The temptation, but also the obstacle between him and Duke Wilson, if he wants to inherit a manor, then he can't deceive the world with nonsense like serving God for life, he must have his own children, his father is in The letter makes this very clear. The condition for his inheritance of the manor is that he must have a healthy descendant. Evan is very clear that such conditions are absolutely unacceptable to Duke Wilson, and even more so. The important thing is that if he accepts the manor, then he can't stay in Derain, he has to go back to London, live in the castle, marry the woman his father arranged, and be the best Ordinary estate owner.

    Evan couldn't help sighing, this was a difficult choice for him, the purpose of his coming to this place is to have a place to live, and at the same time, he hopes to become a Master Ren, now his original idea seems to be within reach, but he is suddenly hesitant at this time, he does not know what he should choose?

    Are you attached to the duke like this all your life? Or as his father said, inherit the Bruce family's estate?

    Evan's heart was very heavy, he picked up the letter again, he looked at the lines of fonts, and suddenly felt very dazzling, Evan couldn't help but wanted to close his eyes, but Suddenly, I noticed that there was a line of small characters at the bottom of the long letter.

    Evan stood up suddenly from the chair, frowning tightly.

    Old Bruce is coming to Delane, and it's just these few days!
