Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

Chapter 2 Pember asks for help

The author has something to say: I repeat the important words: Absolutely no abuse!The heroine just traveled through time today, her IQ and EQ are off the charts, crushing the villain

When the story of Pride and Prejudice happened, Darcy's cousin Fitzwilliam had already become a colonel, and now there are still a few years before the story takes place, so it is set as a lieutenant colonel

Not everything the heroine and Mr. Darcy said is true~

This news was really shocking, and Mr. Darcy, who had always been calm and introverted, couldn't help showing a little bit of shock.

"At about three o'clock this afternoon, I suddenly heard that my brother accidentally killed his father because his father refused to repay his gambling debts. Judges Clark and Wilson, who happened to be invited, bumped into him and stabbed the sword from his father's chest. My brother was arrested on the spot. He was arrested because it was getting late, and he was going to be sent to trial tomorrow."

Mr. Darcy pondered for a while. Although the old Mr. Kenrat and the old Mr. Darcy were good friends, since Mr. Kenrat Jr. was a bohemian nobleman, he was not very familiar with him.Although he had never heard of him being a good gambler, his life has always been very extravagant. Several times he was so angry that old Mr. Kenrat said that he would not help him pay off the debts, which taught him some lessons.So it still sounds a little believable.Moreover, the character of Judge Wilson is recognized by the entire Derbyshire. Since he said that he saw Mr. Kentra Jr. drawing his sword, Mr. Kentra Jr. must have done so.

"This is a total scam! Clarke has been coveting his father's title and property for a long time, has been, has pursued me, and even wrote to me after I was engaged to my fiancé, tempting me to elope with him. Oh, my God, I didn't want to It's a scandal, but I can't let the murderer who murdered my father go unpunished and let my brother go to jail unjustly." Miss Kentra turned her head and sobbed softly.

Mr. Darcy was at a loss for what to do with a poor lady who had so much misfortune.The experience of the past twenty years has not taught him how to deal with this kind of scene, and the principle of "keep a distance from the ladies to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings" that he has always adhered to does not apply now.He hesitated for a moment, and handed over a handkerchief, the expression on his face hardened by embarrassment.

Fortunately Miss Kentra recovered her strength from a mere sob and took the handkerchief. "Thank you, I'm fine. After all, he is my cousin. I didn't want to expose him, so I refused in private. Later, my father and elder brother found out about it, and they were very angry. My father never saw him again. He, how could he invite him suddenly! I know that my father invited Judge Wilson to be a witness. If my brother breaks off with his cronies and stops gambling, his father will help him pay off his gambling debts in installments. My brother has no reason to kill his father! "

"Hey, Darcy, what's the matter. May I go in?" Miss Kentra was interrupted by a male voice.

Mr. Darcy asked Miss Kentra's opinion softly: "The person outside is my cousin, Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam. I am willing to vouch for his character. Would you like him to know about this?"

Miss Kentra agreed without much thought. "Since you are willing to be surety for him, it can be seen that he is an upright gentleman. If this troublesome matter will not embarrass him, I am willing to invite him in."

Mr. Darcy explained this monstrous plot to Colonel Fitzwilliam in a low voice.Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam, who was originally confused, immediately became serious, and said to Miss Kentra seriously: "Please rest assured that any gentleman with a sense of justice will not stand idly by. I am willing to help you."

Miss Kentra sincerely thanked the lieutenant colonel for his kindness, but her brows just relaxed and showed a trace of sadness. "Clark wrote to me asking me to elope with him. I didn't know about Lena and Clark... so I gave the letter to Lena to destroy. Tonight Clark proposed to me again..." What Clark actually did was far worse than a proposal, and Miss Kentra paused in humiliation and exasperation.

"This is really despicable." Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam said with righteous indignation.Treating a young lady like this is simply a hooligan's act of taking advantage of the fire!

"Lena stopped him. They went out and had a few words, I don't know how she did it, but I suspect she has the letter."

"If there is this letter, it can be used as an important evidence. I will send someone to look for it." Mr. Darcy assured, and added. "It is only used as evidence to the judge in charge of this case. In view of its special nature, I can negotiate with the judge not to disclose this evidence, so as to ensure that this matter will not be leaked."

Miss Kentra took out a stack of papers and handed it to Mr. Darcy: "There is also this. This is an agreement drawn up by my father. I immediately went to the study to get this after I heard about my father's murder. The murderer didn't know about it, so The agreement is still on the desk."

In order to prevent the important evidence from being wet by the rain, Miss Kentra kept it close to her body.Mr. Darcy took over the agreement, which seemed to still carry the warmth and fragrance of a young lady.He was embarrassed for a moment, opened it and saw that it was exactly as Miss Kentra said.But the evidence provided by Ms. Kentra cannot completely clear the suspicion of Mr. Kentra Jr.The young lady probably couldn't think of this, and she ventured to come with evidence, full of hope... Mr. Darcy was thinking about how to explain this to Miss Kentra tactfully.

The understanding lady did not make it difficult for him. "There is not enough evidence. I am willing to believe in the further investigation of the parish police officer. But what I am worried about is not the investigation and sentencing. My brother is reckless. If it is okay in Yorkshire, there may be some servants in Swan Manor who belong to Clark. If Clark deliberately Tell your elder brother that Judge Wilson has been bribed, and that his elder brother might escape if he finds a way. If some accidents happen while chasing him...or his elder brother hurts Judge Wilson in a fit of anger, then if his elder brother is found innocent in the future It's useless! I came here in a hurry, hoping that you can bring someone to the manor to watch over your brother to avoid accidents."

Miss Kentra was right.Mr. Darcy, inclined to leave his cousin with the young lady, rose at once. "I'm going to Swan Manor now."

Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam, who reacted a little late, had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on this responsibility that he was not good at. "I'll stay and protect Miss Kentra."

Miss Kentra also stood up. "Mr. Darcy, please let me go back with you."

Mr. Darcy rebuffed her sharply. "What you need now is to freshen up, and this is not something young ladies should be involved in."

How can you treat a beautiful young lady who has just suffered misfortune with such a tough attitude!Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam just wanted to comfort Miss Kentra, but Miss Kentra looked into Mr. Darcy's eyes without fear: "You don't know the structure of Swan Manor, it may delay too much time. You don't know Know who to trust and who to tell a lie. Only I can do it. If I suddenly disappeared from the manor in the middle of the night, it would be a scandal too. Please bring the hounds, my brother is covered in blood this afternoon, Clark will not let him groom, I don't know which room my brother is locked in. And the rain has stopped, if my brother has escaped, I can ask the hounds to help find him."

Mr. Darcy hesitated for a moment, and his rationality told him that Miss Kentra was right, but his emotions made him unable to allow a weak lady to participate in such a thing that might ruin her reputation.

"I'll go back to my room first. Just find a maid to be the caller." Miss Kentra obviously had already thought of a solution.

Mr. Darcy took a deep look at her emerald eyes, different from ordinary ladies, with such strong and confident eyes that people unconsciously choose to believe her. "All right."

Miss Kentra turned to Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam: "I ask you to find some people to investigate in the largest casino in Derbyshire. My brother owed a lot of money in the largest casino in Derbyshire, so he was anxious to ask his father to help him pay off the debt. My brother had never gambled before, and he looked down on gamblers. Why did he go to a casino in Derbyshire to owe his gambling debts? Maybe someone lured him to go, and used tricks in the casino to make him lose thousands of pounds overnight .”

"I heard from the housekeeper that I didn't hear any fighting before my brother went in. My father would call someone when he found out that a stranger broke into the study. I suspect that the murderer was Clark. After he did it, he pretended to meet Mr. Wilson on the way to Mr. Wilson, but my father The wound was still bleeding when they arrived, and father may have given some medicine beforehand, I would like to ask you to call a doctor and ask."

"The son of Mrs. Richard the cook is a gambler. She and Lena took care of me after the accident. If you can, please go to Comson Village to find her home or find her son Bart Richard. Clark may let Little Richard owed him a large debt, or bribed him. Either way, there must be evidence from his family or himself."

Mr. Darcy and Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam looked at Miss Kentra with shocked eyes at the same time.For a young lady, she was far too clever in areas she shouldn't have known.

Miss Kentra's pale cheeks flushed a little, she lowered her head and said: "It's just my little opinion, I don't know if it will help to find the truth." She didn't want to be too shocking, but can the two gentlemen think of She couldn't be sure of that.It would be bad if it took too long for Clark to destroy all the evidence.Fortunately, Mr. Darcy's character has been certified by Jane Austen. Even if he is a little surprised, he will never spread these things that are not conducive to the reputation of a lady.

"Of course, of course." Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam put away his surprised expression. "I'm going to find someone to do these things right now."

"Thank you very much, sir." Miss Kentra put on her hood and wrapped herself tightly again.The three hurried out of the living room one after the other.
