My harem is a bit big

"Haha, father, you are so kind!"

Seeing his daughter's excitement, he was a little reluctant to let go.

Five or six minutes later, a housekeeper came to report:

"My lord, Knight Joseph from the Holy See wants to see you."

"what?"

Earl Charles put down his knife and fork with a rather strange look on his face.

The Holy See is appointed by Queen Victoria, and there is little communication on weekdays.

Even if something really happened, the priest should come forward.

He thought for a moment and then ordered:

"Take it to the study, I'll be there shortly."

"Yes, my lord."

After the butler walked away, Earl Charles looked at Lilia with an apologetic look:

"Sorry, I'm here..."

"It's okay, father, you go ahead, business is more important."

Seeing that his daughter was so sensible, he nodded.

Put down your knife and fork, take a towel to wipe your mouth, then get up and leave.

Earl Charles came to the door of the study and stopped.

Inside the house, there was a middle-aged man nearly two meters tall.

The light from the oil lamp shone on the bright silver armor, making it look a little dim.

He was holding a large black hammer with a handle as long as an adult.

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Seeing Earl Charles walk in, the knight knelt down on one knee:

"Sir, the priest has been killed. Please cordon off the southern area of ​​the city."

……

Wanguo City, county government.

After interrogating many members of the Red Flower Club, the truth of the matter has emerged.

These deserters from the Xia Dynasty navy did not receive pensions.

Therefore, they colluded together in an attempt to fight against the imperial court.

How ridiculous, how ridiculous!

Chen Yufan is very satisfied with this result.

Today, in court.

Chen Duoyu once questioned why the suspects were all men.

He kept an eye out, and through torture and interrogation, he found out that there was a female leader of the Red Flower Society who had not been caught.

In terms of results alone, this operation can be described as a complete victory.

Running away from a woman is irrelevant.

A wanted warrant will be issued later and he will be arrested.

A prostitute is nothing to mention.

At this moment, Chen Yufan was in a happy mood.

Hold a candle in the study and write a letter of feedback to the court.

First of all, thank you for your great kindness.

He lived up to his expectations and successfully completed the task.

Not only were the Red Flower Club's strongholds investigated, but the relevant persons involved were also arrested.

Nip everything in the bud before the resistance organization grows.

Secondly, it is to communicate and negotiate with foreigners to determine the number of railways to be built.

In the feedback letter, Chen Yufan used the words "reduce it to one item".

Just a few words can highlight your personal abilities.

For the Xia Dynasty and the Great Eagle Empire, this number was just right.

Too much or too little will cause objections.

Magistrate Zhou died, and the lord of Wanguo City did nothing.

I hope that the imperial court can send someone to take over the position and take office immediately.

In this way, he can return to the imperial city and resume his life.

Chen Yufan was inspired and wrote hundreds of words eloquently.

He picked up the letter, blew on it, and put it on the table.

After the ink is dry, it can be put into the letterhead and sent to the imperial city through the inn.

Suddenly, a police officer broke into the backyard and shouted:

"My lord, my lord! Where are you?"

Chen Yufan frowned when he heard the shout.

He walked out of the study and yelled:

"Shout out, what a formality!"

Seeing the catcher lowering his head like a quail, Chen Yufan calmed down slightly and asked:

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Sir, the south of the city has just blocked all the intersections. Even the black market has been guarded by soldiers, and no one is allowed to enter or exit at will. I can't find out the news, I guess something big happened there!"

……

In the north of the city, Su Mansion.

Chen Duoyu had dinner and took a walk in the courtyard.

In ancient times, there were no mobile phones or the Internet.

The biggest entertainment item in the evening is dancing and listening to music.

With a breeze blowing in his face, Zhang Xiaoyi suddenly appeared:

"Shopkeeper, come with me quickly!"

Chen Duoyu was a little confused and asked:

"Xiao Yi, what's wrong?"

"I'll explain to you on the way. Let's go first."

Seeing the urgency of the situation, he nodded.

Take Su Nannan into the ring world and leave with her.

The two of them left the Su Mansion, drove the carriage, and headed east.

"Xiao Yi, what's going on?"

"Shopkeeper, didn't you send me to follow Xiao Yu'er before?"

"Could it be...that there's something new discovered?"

"Yes, I followed your instructions and put a long line to catch big fish. After she escaped from the east of the city, she went to the south of the city. This crazy woman not only killed a foreign priest, but also stole several boxes of gunpowder with her accomplices."

Chen Duoyu's pupils widened and his eyelids twitched:

"gunpowder?!"

136 No martial arts

gunpowder? !

This thing was a big killer in the cold weapon era.

Xiao Yu'er is going to the bottom of the boat and wants to die with the foreigners?

At this thought, Chen Duoyu fell into deep thought.

This is a risk, but also an opportunity.

As long as she doesn't find the mantis stalking the cicada, the oriole is behind.

Maybe you can take advantage of the situation and make a profit.

The sound of horse hooves came out of the city from the east.

Passing through the dense black forest, we detoured to the southern boundary of the city.

Out of caution, they hid the carriage.

Tie a rope to the stake and prepare to enter on foot.

Zhang Xiaoyi also took out the night clothes and handed them over:

"Shopkeeper, please put it on first. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain if someone sees you."

Chen Duoyu took it and drew back his neck:

"Tell me the truth, are these the clothes you wore when you went to pick flowers?"

"What are you picking flowers for? I don't even understand what you're talking about, shopkeeper."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyi's embarrassed look, he didn't dig deeper.
