Public trial?You deserve it too!

"Uh—no, I don't have a good relationship with him, but he is my elder brother after all. I don't want...I don't want people to think that our Barr family is a family without a tutor. Well, yes, that's it."

Gustav coughed twice in embarrassment.

"So that's the case. If that's the case, maybe I'm really looking for you right."

Claude seemed relieved.

"Actually, I came to you this time because I found a little problem, so I came to ask you."

"Oh, please."

"Knight Gustav, your brother, have you committed treason?"

Claude asked sincerely.

Gustav: "?"

Finally, before the other party threw the glove on his face, Claude said everything in detail.

"You said that someone in the bar sold you wine from the Chamber of Commerce. You thought it was fake wine and didn't buy it, but the other party said it was from the Bar Chamber of Commerce. Is it absolutely true?"

Gustav patiently listened to Claude's words, his face full of doubts.

"Of course it's more than that. We were playing the Doomsday Tavern Game before, so I kept an extra eye on it. Every time I went to a bar, I would ask other people and found that almost every bar had such people, and I learned from them. The wines bought are really good wines—I think the other party should not lie when they should."

Claude's face was full of sincerity.

"I remembered that the Baal Chamber of Commerce seems to be the Chamber of Commerce opened by your brother. I am worried that if this incident becomes a big deal, it should have a great impact on you, right? So I will tell you first, and you will go back and ask your brother carefully. Well, otherwise, if it is discovered by the Imperial Intelligence Bureau and labeled as a smuggler, it will be a disaster."

Gustav frowned. Of course he didn't believe that his brother would smuggle with the Merchant Alliance, let alone treason, but Claude didn't need to lie to him, and he could find out the authenticity with a little verification like this. if.

"Thank you for your reminder, Knight Claude, I'll find out after I go back and ask, but I can assure you that the Barr family will never do anything to betray the empire."

In the end, he forced a smile and thanked Claude.

Claude nodded: "I believe you, Knight Gustav, then I have nothing else to do, so I will leave first."

After all, he turned and left.

Gustav, who stayed where he was, quietly clenched his fists.

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

[Okay, so I can guarantee that even the people who know you the most will not recognize you when they see you. As long as you change your voice, you will be a completely different person. 】

"Very good, now help me plan a route to track down Knight Gustav."

Claude looked at Gustav in casual clothes, pulled his hat slightly, tapped the cane in his hand, and walked forward lightly.

[The route has been planned. 】

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

Gustav walked out of a tavern with a gloomy face.

This is already the third tavern he has left. In every tavern, someone is selling fine wine from the Merchant Alliance, and after he questioned suspiciously, the other party will bring up the name of the Barr Chamber of Commerce.

"This is a large chamber of commerce that can have a share in the trading ports of the empire and the merchant alliance. The person behind the platform is His Royal Highness Augustus. Can I sell you fake wine bottles?"

The waiter's laughter was so harsh to his ears.

He paid for a bottle of wine in every place, as Claude said, they are all good wines, and unlike Claude, he can be sure that this is the wine of the Merchant Alliance - because he really drank.

A wine glass from his brother.

"Brother... what happened to you! What happened? Why did you make such a choice?!"

With a gloomy face, he threw the wine bottle in his hand on the ground, and the golden liquid spilled all over the floor, and the aroma overflowed.

The man strode through the messy place with a firm goal.

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

"Gustav? What are you doing here!"

When Gutenberg saw his younger brother, he was surprised at first, and then reprimanded him pretendingly.

"This is my home! It's not your ancestral home of the Barr family. It's me who has the right to kick you out, not..."

Gustav pushed the waiter blocking the way against the wall with one hand, and the expression on his face made Gutenberg shut up.

"...No one is allowed in."

Gutenberg sighed, and said to the guards who surrounded him.

"Yes, my lord!"

Several people looked at each other, and felt that it was better not to get involved when brothers were fighting, so they guarded by the gate again.

"follow me."

Gutenberg glanced at his younger brother, turned around and motioned for him to follow, and Gustav followed him into the house without saying a word.

The two went down to the basement. Gutenberg opened a hidden door, lit an oil lamp, and turned his head to meet his gaze.

"You came to me, what's the matter?"

"Brother, I want you to answer me one thing - are you involved in smuggling with the Theocracy?"

Gustav looked into his brother's eyes, unwilling to let go of the slightest change.

"...Where did you hear that?"

Gutenberg frowned.

"You answer me first, have you!"

"……No."

The other party is very calm.

"Really?"

"Really, I never lied to you, Gustave?"

Gutenberg sighed.

"...No." Gustav was silent for a while, "However, people in the streets and alleys outside are spreading these things. Those dealers who sell smuggled alcohol all say they are members of your chamber of commerce."

"It's nonsense, it's just some rumors of framing." Gutenberg sneered, "Don't pay attention to this kind of business competition method, I can handle it by myself, after all, they want to ruin me. It’s not a day or two to be an upstart—after all, I have blocked too many people’s money, not just some people’s money in China, but also the business alliance.”

In the first ten days of April, there will be a one-month ticket doubling event, and I want to try to see if I can at least be on the list, so I will ask for tickets from now on, and everyone will give more, thank you. qun... Yi Liu bar 2 7 [-] wives and one slip

"Yes...is that so?"

Gustav looked at his brother in a daze, and the momentum accumulated along the way disappeared instantly.

"Of course."

Gutenberg's tone was filled with obvious disgust and contempt.

"Those guys are all trash and scum, they sharpened their heads and wanted to drill to the upper floors, and they used all kinds of tricks for this-but they didn't know that the nobles hated this group of guys who blocked the way of getting money the most. It's the same breed, it's just that some people come from better backgrounds."

"I...I'm sorry, brother."

Gustav looked a little embarrassed.

"I shouldn't have come to you so recklessly for verification because of some rumors... This may make everything we have done before fall short..."

But apparently Gutenberg didn't care about those things, he cared about something else.

"Gustav, I remember that you are not the kind of person who is greedy for drinking, why did you go back to the tavern to check these rumors?"

He stared at his brother, waiting for his answer.

And Gustave doesn't hide anything from his brother.

"It was Knight Claude who told me that he went out drinking with his team and heard about the fact that the Barr Chamber of Commerce was selling smuggled alcohol. Then he came to me today and whispered to me about this thing."

Gutenberg froze slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Oh? Claude? You mean the knight who served under Ludwig's command?"

"Yes, he is also a very upright knight. I have worked with him for a while in this experience, and I look forward to fighting side by side with him next time."

Gustav's expression softened slightly, and his tone became fluent.

"Well... can you tell me about him in detail?"

"OK……"

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

【Tsk, this Gustav knight farts well. 】

Claude, who has already entered the mansion: "..."

[He has a good impression of you, and considering his influence over his brother, are you sure you can develop Gutenberg into a dark thread? 】

"No, it's too wasteful. His methods are not suitable for developing under [Claude]'s command, otherwise it will be a kind of suppression to his talent."

Claude shook his head.

"Listen for a while, I feel that this guy is about to reveal his true intentions."

【clear. 】

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

"So, you have a good relationship with this Knight Claude?"

Gutenberg asked with a smile.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the conversation between the brothers had become happy and harmonious, and it was no longer stiff and embarrassing as before.

"Yes, I think you and him should be able to get along well—well, it should be said that as long as they are upright soldiers, they will be overwhelmed by Knight Claude's talent and charisma, right?"

Gustav thought for a moment and gave a very high evaluation.

"That's not bad. He's a man worthy of your deep friendship."

Gutenberg nodded approvingly.

"Hey? But you and your father are both on His Royal Highness Augustus's side. If I had a close relationship with Knight Claude, wouldn't it be too good?"

"No, this is an excellent opportunity to cover up what happened today."

His brother smiled and shook his head.

"When you came to see me today, you had a gloomy expression on your face, and your actions were so tough and rough that it wouldn't cause other people to doubt the real relationship between us. The only trouble is how to explain this to the outside world." Gu Thunberg said with a relaxed expression, "This happens to be a reasonable explanation-you go directly to make friends with Claude, such a situation of breaking with me in essence will make people stop paying attention to the fact that you came to me itself."

Gustav thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He raised his head, saw the ease on his brother's face, and felt that he was worrying too much.

But out of worry, he still chose to ask: "But if I do this, it should be difficult for you to explain? And father..."

Gutenberg waved his hand and interrupted the other party's question: "Don't worry, Gustav, it's easy to explain on my side. As for my father, don't worry, as long as you haven't become the patriarch of the Barr family, then Austria His Highness Gusdu will only redouble his wooing to his father, and will not make any exclusion or suppression."

Gustav nodded, which made him feel relieved. He has always been very self-aware in dealing with interpersonal relationships. Since his brother said that there is no problem, there must be no mistakes.

"Then I will leave first. After all, staying here for too long will inevitably attract suspicion."

Gustav decided to leave first.

"Okay, then I won't send you off. Remember to look gloomy when you go out. It's best to give me two kicks for the gate. I wanted to replace it a long time ago."

The man's voice was still teasing with confidence, as if nothing in this world could defeat him.

Gustav smiled slightly, hid his expression, made the whole person look aggrieved and angry, and then left the basement.

Gutenberg remained in the basement, his chin resting on his hands, as if waiting for something.

boom--

After the two noises, there was a series of jingling bells and loud noises.

"Gustav is still so serious in his work... Asking him to open the door will really open the door with both feet..."

The man smiled wryly and covered his face.

After a chilling silence—
