Guidebook for the Dark Duke

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

When Duke Wilson entered the room, Kevin was circling anxiously in the study. When he saw Duke Wilson coming in, he hurriedly greeted him: "My lord, something is wrong..."

Seeing Kevin's anxious expression, Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning. Although Kevin was obedient, he was still a little tender compared to Edson and Mel.

"Calm down and talk."

Kevin's tone couldn't help but stagnate, and a bit of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"What's going on?" Duke Wilson asked slowly as he sat down on what he had done.

Kevin then whispered: "My lord, Edson is dead."

"What?" Duke Wilson couldn't help but tighten his expression: "What the hell is going on!" He scolded in a low voice.

Kevin couldn't help shaking. He had already experienced Duke Wilson's anger.

"My lord, you told me to put Adelson in prison, but today the person I sent suddenly came back to report that Adelson committed suicide last night and left you a suicide note." Kevin said As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve.

Duke Wilson took the letter, frowning tightly. After he dealt with Edson that day, he had the intention of not letting him live, but now that the wind is getting tighter, he will not act easily, so he just let him The people below stared at Edson, but unexpectedly, he committed suicide.

"When did this happen? Does anyone else know?" Duke Wilson's face was very ugly, and the knuckles of the hand holding the letter turned white. Finally, there was a clue, but Edson died suddenly. Yes, this really made him wonder if someone was really behind the scenes.

Kevin glanced at Duke Wilson a little nervously, and said with a nervous expression: "I'm afraid... I'm afraid someone already knows. When that person found out that Adelson was dead, his neighbor happened to come over and saw that. One scene, I'm afraid Sheriff Chandler has passed by now."

Duke Wilson's lips pursed even tighter. This was really too bad. One of his two capable men suddenly went to prison and the other committed suicide within a few days. How could he not think about it.

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

Kevin was slightly stunned, and then immediately replied: "Aderson died of taking poison, and the door was locked, and no one else was there. Our people still saw that something was wrong, and forced the door open. When I went in, I found Edson dead, which attracted the attention 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.

Speaking of which, there was nothing new in the letter, it was just admitting his incompetence and mistakes, and then begging Duke Wilson to let his family go.

In fact, Duke Wilson has heard a lot of such words in his life, but at this moment he suddenly felt a little harsh. Adelson did not say that he framed Colonel Mel until his death, and according to what Duke Wilson knew about Adelson, he also It's not that such a fragile person would admit defeat so easily.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" Kevin asked with some trepidation.

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 matter to anyone, just pretend you don't know, since Edson is dead, let's die, You must not relax about Mel's matter, you must keep an eye on it."

Hearing this, Kevin felt a little chill in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Kevin left the study, but Duke Wilson fell into deep thought. He looked at the white ceiling and thought about the past few days.

Mel went to prison on suspicion of murder, but Edson committed suicide at this time. Although he would not let him go even if he was alive, his death at this time made his situation 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 seemed to be covered by someone. Delan Lille, which was very clear to him, suddenly became dim at this time. These things were like a thick fog. , let him know what to do.

On this night, the whole of Delanele fell into a strange tranquility. Two people died in a row within a few days. This is not a normal situation for a small town. For the gentlemen, the mood is more delicate. If one accident is just a coincidence, then both of them have accidents, then it can only mean that there is a ghost behind this incident.

But Evan had a good night's sleep that night. After returning to the church, he went to the inner room to pray. He didn't know anything about another homicide in Delanele, and when he knew It was already the next morning when this matter happened, but when he knew about it this morning, his mood was completely affected by another matter.

Evan looked at the envelope in his hand with a complicated expression. He never thought that after going through that incident, his father would still have the face to write to him.

That's right, at the breakfast table that day, Evan took a letter from his father, Bruce Sr., from his valet Tom.

Evan didn't want to be in touch with that kind of family anymore, and during this period of time, they were also very conscious, and basically didn't disturb his life anymore, until today...

Evan looked at the date on the envelope. It was mailed three days ago. He was still in London three days ago, but his father had already sent the letter back. Evan couldn't tell whether it was a coincidence or what, but he was very happy. I was sure of one thing, his father absolutely did not want Duke Wilson to see this letter.

"Mr. Pastor, oh, this is really terrible." Tom, who didn't see Evan's expression, was still clamoring: "It's really unusual that another person died, Mr. Edson, you Have you seen him before? Well, he is a gentleman, I really did not expect..."

Evan ignored Tom's eloquence, and opened the envelope in front of him. The swashbuckling font seemed a little frivolous, and the emerald green ink seemed to have the luxury of the Bruce family. Evan rubbed his forehead and held back. Overwhelmed with the urge to swear, he began to force himself to read the letter.

The letter is long, but the meaning expressed is very simple.

The marriage between his brother and Victoria was shattered. Half a month after Victoria got married, she found out that something was wrong with her brother, so she left with her own dowry, and Victoria's father was also very angry with their family based on this time. Now The whole Bruce family is in turmoil.

Evan agrees with this very much. No matter how powerful the Bruce family is, they are just ordinary squires with no real power, and Victoria's father is a member of parliament. If he wants to, killing the Bruce family is like killing a cat. As easy as ants.

Evan turned over the first page, but the words on the second page made him frown. His father hoped that he could come back to inherit the estate of the Bruce family. There are descendants, so for now, he is the most suitable person to inherit the estate.

These words are very high-sounding, but Evan understands what his father wants to express very well. Now his father has completely offended the Congressman. The Bruce family is on the edge of the cliff, and behind Evan is the mighty Wilson. Duke, if the support of the Duke can be obtained, then the Bruce family will not have to be afraid of a member of parliament.

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

For him, being able to inherit a manor is of course a good thing. Although he resents old Bruce's schemes against him, he has no grudge against money. If he inherits the manor, then he will have to leave Delandrier, and his status as a pastor may also change. Thinking of this, Evan frowned even deeper.

Tom finally discovered Evan's weirdness at this time, and hurriedly stopped his long speech, looked at Evan with some doubts and said, "Mr. Pastor, what's wrong with you?"

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

Tom had never seen such a serious expression on Evan's face, and he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, so he quickly backed away.

As soon as Tom went out, the whole living room suddenly became quiet. Evan rubbed his throbbing temples, and the emotions in his heart were suddenly complicated enough to write a novel. The current situation is too complicated for him Well, something like this happened to Duke Wilson, and his father didn't stop, and even threw him such a difficult problem. A big manor is a great temptation for him, but at the same time, he and Wilson The obstacle between the dukes, if he wants to inherit a manor, then he can't deceive the world with the nonsense of serving God for life, he must have his own heir, his father said this very well in the letter It is clear that the condition for him to inherit the manor is that there must be a healthy offspring. Evan knows very well that such a condition is absolutely unacceptable to Duke Wilson, and more importantly, if he accepts This manor, then he can't stay in Delan Lille, he has to go back to London, live in that castle, marry the woman arranged by his father, and then become the most ordinary manor owner.

Evan couldn't help sighing. This was a difficult choice for him. His purpose of coming to this place was to have a place to live and live. At the same time, he also hoped to become a master in this era. Now his original The idea seemed to be within reach, but he suddenly hesitated at this moment, he didn't know what he should choose?

Do you want to be attached to the duke for the rest of your life like you are now?Or, as his father said, to inherit the estate of the Bruce family?

Evan's heart was very heavy, and he picked up the letter again. He looked at the lines of characters, and suddenly felt very dazzling. Evan couldn't help but want to close his eyes, but suddenly found the long letter. There is also a line of small print below.

Evan stood up from his chair abruptly, frowning tightly.

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