The Golden Clothes of the Heavens Beginning with Douluo

Chapter 223 Destined Destiny
Lodi?The butler of the duke's mansion?
Linley and Bernard, the patriarch of the Debs family, were both a little surprised.

The entire chamber was silent, and everyone was waiting for Lodi to be escorted over.

But after a while, a middle-aged man with long blue hair walked in under the escort of the palace guards. This middle-aged man had a haggard face, his hair was a little messy, and he looked a little downcast.

However, Bernard recognized at a glance that this person was Lodi, the housekeeper of the Duke's mansion who had been looking for him some time ago.

"Lodi, tell me the truth again." Clyde asked Lodi directly.

This Lodi had obviously explained it to Clyde long ago, and it was obvious that he only wanted to let Linley and the others hear it.

Lodi replied very honestly: "Your Majesty, on June [-]th, the Duke was invited to attend the engagement banquet held by the Debs family, and after that, the Duke never came back."

"Lodi, you stand aside first." Clyde said coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lodi seemed a little apprehensive, and hurriedly stood aside.

Clyde glanced at the eight nobles below.

"According to the information I found, you were the last ones to leave on the night of the engagement banquet of the Debs family.

I want to ask, have you ever seen Paterson? "

Clyde's problem is simple.

"As soon as the banquet ended, Paterson was the first to leave."

Left Prime Minister 'Berner' replied without thinking.

Linley also nodded, "I also saw that Paderson left very early."

The others either said they didn't see them, or that Paderson left early.

Hearing what everyone said, Clyde nodded with a smile, and looked at Lodi next to him: "Lodi, keep talking."

"Yes." Lody said again, "Duke Paterson told me before going to the Debs family mansion that he wants to meet someone who is very important to him this time, but this matter is very important. cannot be known by others.

So he ordered me to arrange a puppet to pretend to be the Duke and return to the Duke's mansion.

In fact, the Duke is still in the Debs family. "

"The Duke also said that the Debs family will arrange a secret place for him to meet people."

Lody added.

This sentence immediately made the patriarch of the Debs family, Bernard, turn pale.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Bernard hurriedly said, "This has nothing to do with me. Your Excellency the Duke told me that he wanted to meet someone, so he asked me to arrange a secret place. I have to arrange it."

"Bernard, don't worry, I won't wrong anyone." Clyde said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bernard stepped aside immediately, but his face was a little pale.

Clyde looked at Linley and the others: "Paderson wants to meet someone, this person should have some status, who will he meet?

Most likely, I thought, it was a guest who left late that day. "

Linley's heart skipped a beat.

The Duke of Bernard, the Earl of Juno, the Marquis of Hampton and others all looked at Clyde in surprise.

They kind of guessed why His Majesty the King invited them over.

"Your Majesty, we have not met Duke Paterson."

The Duke of Berner, Hampton and the others spoke one after another.

Clyde said with a smile: "I'm just skeptical, you haven't done anything wrong, what are you worried about?
Look, among your group of people, only Linley is the calmest. "

Linley smiled lightly, but did not make a sound.

Uncle Bai Ge is right, strength comes first!
Clyde glanced at the group of people, and sneered in his heart: "I don't care who makes Paderson disappear.

Instead, I want to thank the man for giving me the best chance to destroy the secret network that Paderson has built. "

As Clyde's younger brother, the Duke of Paderson has served as the Minister of Finance for many years, and has established an extremely dense network of relationships, which has a great influence on the Kingdom of Finlay.

Years ago, the Debs family assassinated a court minister for the benefit of the family.

And this court minister happened to be Clyde's purse.

It's going to come to light, and it's over for the Debs family.

The Debs family had such a handle in the hands of the Duke of Paderson, so they had to provide funds and manpower for Padson to smuggle the jade mine.

As for the profit sharing of smuggling, it is second.

After all, unlike the original book, the Debs family has not been suppressed by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

It stands to reason that there is no need to risk being ransacked and exterminated to do such a thing.

However, without Alice, the causes planted by the Debs family in the past brought them the same result and fate.

Bai Ge, who had a panoramic view of all this in secret, has a little more understanding of the rules of fate, and is one step closer to becoming a god.

Destiny is high above, regardless of heaven, earth, people, gods, and ghosts, they are all in it, and they have their own trajectory in the dark.

But this trajectory is not impossible to break.

Most directly, a sanctuary powerhouse came out of the Debs family, and everything was solved easily.

Just like the original Four Great Ultimate Warriors of the first generation, Baruch and others, they are just mediocre ordinary people, destined to die, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

As a result, Beirut, the main god-level boss, made a move, and their fate changed as a result.

Weak people can only be at the mercy of others all their lives...

Destiny . . . is indeed fickle and obscure.

Bai Ge, who was paying attention to all this, sighed secretly.

Clyde looked at Linley and the others, and said with a smile, "I had to investigate the disappearance of my second brother Paderson, but what surprised me the most was that I found out a lot of things.

Especially Lodi, he told a lot of secrets. "

There was silence in the field.

"Lodi, tell them." Clyde smiled at Lodi.

At this moment, Clyde is full of ambition, and the death of a brother is nothing to Clyde at all.

The important thing is... he finally has full control over the power of the entire kingdom.

Lodi respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the reason why Duke Padson went to the engagement banquet of the Debs family that day was to meet the mysterious man and establish a relationship with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

So... the person he met must be closely related to the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. "

"Do you want to know why my second brother has a relationship with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce?" Clyde smiled and looked at the crowd below, "Lodi, continue talking."

"Yes." Lodi was obviously completely convinced by Clyde, and he said something, "Duke Paderson has done many things that betrayed the interests of the kingdom over the years, just to satisfy his personal desires. Especially In the past few months, I started to smuggle water jade ore on a large scale with the Debs family, which is the largest water jade ore smuggling in the history of my Kingdom of Finlay."

"boom!"

The patriarch of the Debs family, Bernard, knelt down and said hastily, "Your Majesty, you are wronged.

Our Debs family has always followed the rules in doing business and has never done anything that betrays the interests of the country.

Our Debs family has been wronged. "

"Injustice?" Clyde gave Bernard a cold look.

"Bring Brother Lanseer up." The Debs family shouted to the outside.

Bernard, the patriarch of the Debs family, turned pale when he heard the name 'Landseer'.

……

"Come here, take Bernard and the heirs of the Debs family into the Blackwater Prison.

As for the smuggling case of the Debs family, let the right minister 'Merritt' investigate it. "

Clyde gave the order coldly.

Immediately, the palace guards took Bernard down.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is clearly aware."

Bernard yelled at Clyde as he was escorted out.

……

That night, Luye Road was completely noisy.

The sound of horseshoes and yelling continued, and a team of hundreds of knights directly surrounded the Debs family mansion, causing everyone in the Debs family to panic.

"What are you doing, what are you doing! Do you know where this is?"

Karan's second grandfather, that is, Bernard's second uncle, immediately scolded the guards of the palace.

One of the leading knights said coldly: "Do you dare to resist His Majesty's order?"

The second grandfather raised his head and said, "Your Majesty's order? Who knows if you falsely passed on His Majesty's order, saying, what are you doing here?"

"Second Grandpa, what's going on outside?"

At this time, many people from the Debs family rushed over.

The entire Debs family, hundreds of people from inside and outside, flocked to the front yard, and most of them had puzzled faces.

Only the core, the few people who knew about the family smuggling became terrified.

The scale of the Debs family's smuggling was very large.

There are tens of millions of gold coins used alone.

Once successful, the profit will be hundreds of millions of gold coins.

According to the idea of ​​the Debs family, earning once is enough.

Unexpectedly, this time, something went wrong.

And the knight team from the palace has already assembled outside. The leader of the knight squadron saw so many people gathered, he took out a token from his arms, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has ordered that the Debs family is suspected of smuggling water jade ore." , Now, I am ordered to arrest the patriarch and heir of the Debs family and send them to the Blackwater Prison."

Suddenly, the faces of the Debs family changed.

In particular, the core members of the family, such as Kalan, were even more pale, while Alice, Rowling, and the collateral members of the family were all confused and stunned.

Several guards directly grabbed Kalan.

"take away!"

The knight squadron leader shouted directly.

At this moment, Kalan felt that his legs were weak, and he just let the guards escort him to the door.

But when he got to the door, Kalan woke up suddenly, turned around and shouted anxiously: "Second Grandpa, Alice, you must save me, you must save me."

No matter how Kalan yelled, those palace guards still ruthlessly put him in the prison car.

Alice, Rowling, and the entire Debs family can only watch Karan being taken away, but there is nothing they can do.Their family is powerful, but how can they compete with His Majesty the King?

----------------

The next morning, news that the Debs family was suspected of smuggling jade ore quickly spread throughout the noble circles of Finlay City, and most of the nobles in Finlay City paid attention to this matter.

And this smuggling case was personally examined by the right minister of the Kingdom, Lord Merit, the Duke.

The mansion of Duke Merritt.

Lord Merritt is over 70 years old, but he is a relatively powerful fighter.Looking at the appearance alone, he only looks like a middle-aged person, and the short blond hair is even more shiny.

At this moment, Merritt was sitting on a chair, casually glanced at the Debs family sitting next to him - Karan's second grandfather 'Nimitz'.

Nimitz still has a strong influence in the Debs family.Kalan was also taught by Nimitz.

"Master Merritt, our family is absolutely wronged. I hope you can give our Debs family justice."

As Nimitz said, he took out a book from the side: "Master Merritt, I know you like to collect Bibles. My book is a version issued by the Holy See of Light more than 3000 years ago, and it is relatively rare."

"Oh, the Bible?"

Merritt took it casually, but when she flipped through it, Merritt suddenly found that there was a card in it, issued by Siguo Gold Bank——Magic Crystal Card!

A smile appeared on Merritt's face.

Nimitz carefully observed Merritt's expression, Merritt closed the Bible, put it aside, and said with a smile: "Nimitz, you should know that besides the Bible, you also like beautiful women.

I saw Alice at your family's engagement ceremony, I don't know... Can you, let me talk to Alice alone? "

Talk to Alice alone?Whether the Debs family is involved in smuggling, what's the use of talking to Alice?Obviously this Merritt has bad intentions.Nimitz has also experienced storms, so naturally his heart is like a mirror.

Nimitz couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, looking at Merritt.

But Merritt lay comfortably on the chair, and even closed her eyes to meditate, without even looking at Nimitz.Merritt's attitude is very clear - she wants to clear up your family's grievances, and ask Alice to talk to me.

Nimitz pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master Merritt wants to talk to Alice? OK, I will go back and talk to Alice."

Merritt, who had been resting her eyes with her eyes closed, couldn't help opening her eyes when she heard this, and looked at Nimitz next to her with a smile: "Haha, then Nimitz, please go back first.

Just let Alice and me have a good time alone, and I think I'll get to know your Debs family better. "

Nimitz immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Master Merritt, I will take my leave first, and we will leave the Debs family to your lord."

Merritt nodded slightly.

Nimitz retreated immediately.

Merritt is the right chancellor of the Kingdom of Finlay and was named Duke.

The honor of his status can be counted on one hand by those who have a higher status than him in the Kingdom of Finlay.

A character like him, what kind of woman has never seen it before.

Merritt really likes women, and although he is in his seventies now, compared to the lifespan of a powerful fighter of two or three hundred years, he is only in his seventies, and he is at his most energetic.

Merritt alone has publicly disclosed twelve wives.But there is a popular opinion among the nobles——

A wife at home is not as good as a lover outside, but a lover outside is not as good as what you can't get.

What you can't get is the best.
