The day after Woolley returned to Assyria, accusations against him began to spread everywhere. The reason was that someone spread the word that Woolley could not wait to go to Duncan's mansion as soon as he returned to Assyria, where he not only had a banquet and stayed overnight, but was also given a beautiful maid.
If this was done by someone else, it might only arouse the envy of others, because it is not difficult to become a guest of honor of the Duncan family, but being able to stay there after the banquet and even receiving a maid as a gift, all these can show that the relationship with the popular Duncan family is definitely not ordinary.
But the situation is different when Wu Lai is the protagonist. In everyone's mind, Wu Lai was promoted by Chief Connor, but he ran to Chief Qi Yuan to curry favor with him. If this is not betrayal, what is it? Wright went to the Green Building as soon as he received the news...
Many of Connor's confidants entered Connor's mansion one after another. Woolley's "ungrateful behavior" gave them an opportunity to show their loyalty to Connor. Of course, some people had other ideas.
Qi Yuan frowned and thought for a long time after hearing this, then he said to the butler who came to report the news: "Go tell Jer that Bilismont can't even control his mouth, so don't go to Lunvington. Go to the legion to gain experience for two years first. Also, arrange for someone to find out what's going on with Connor, and what's going on with Woleglindo..."
In the evening, the person who inquired for information from the Duncan family came back and reported that Connor was furious and threatened to withdraw some of the benefits given to Woolley, but he did not send anyone to find Woolley, and Woolley had not shown up all day.
"Got it. You may leave now." Duncan nodded. Connor and Woolley's reactions were just as he expected. Since Connor already knew that Woolley was befriending the Duncan family, he naturally didn't want to pay any attention to Woolley. In Duncan's view, removing the welfare benefits might just be the first step. The next step might be to strip Woolley of his title as town governor.
In this case, the situation seems to be a bit tricky. Connor is the chief of the Supreme Council, and it is very easy for him to get rid of a Woleglindo. He can find any excuse and it is nothing more than a formality of discussion and voting.
"Looks like I have to help this kid." Qi Yuan muttered to himself. He was naturally aware of the situation in Salt Marsh Town. While secretly looking up to Wu Lai's ability, he also knew what the consequences would be if Wu Lai was no longer in charge of Salt Marsh Town - it would inevitably become a mess that would be difficult to clean up.
While Qi Yuan was thinking about countermeasures, Wu Lai and Wright were drinking happily in the Green Building, and Yi Lei Si was accompanying them with a smile on her face. Although she had just experienced sex, Wu Lai's gentleness not only made her not afraid of it at all, but even looked forward to it. What's more, Wu Lai took the initiative to tell her today that he would send someone to Haitang Town in a few days to pay off the debt for her parents - all these made Yi Lei Si clearly feel Wu Lai's attention and love for her...
"I'll bring my venison to you to be pickled from now on." Wright said as he devoured the meal. "I'm confused. It's the same venison, why does yours taste so much better?"
"You might consider having your chef come to the Green Building to learn for two days." Wu Lai laughed and picked up a piece of venison for Elise.
"Thank you, young master." Iris said with a smile but felt a little embarrassed because she found that she seemed a little stupid. She couldn't even use the tableware called "chopsticks" by the young master properly. And it seemed that it should not be difficult at all. The young master and Master Wright both used it very skillfully. They stretched out the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat easily.
"Eat with a fork." Wu Lai said with a smile. At present, only people in the White Stone Building and the Green Building knew how to use chopsticks to eat. The reason why Wright was so good at it was that since he met Wu Lai, he came to the Green Building to eat more often than he went home to eat.
"Your little maid's clothes look familiar," Wright said casually.
Wu Lai was startled, nodded, but sighed softly in his heart, because the clothes that Irene wore today were left in the Green Building by Helen...
…
Just as Qi Yuan expected, two days later, Connor convened a special meeting with more than half of the members of the Supreme Council to discuss whether Wuleglindo was suitable to continue to serve as the governor of Saltmarsh Town.
The members present at the meeting all felt that Connor was preparing to clean up the mess.
The meeting was filled with anger from the beginning. Connor's confidants were obviously well prepared. Not only did they rush to speak, they also cited a lot of examples, and they seemed determined not to give up until Woolley was brought down.
However, this special meeting was not a one-note meeting. After Connor's confidant criticized Wu Lai, some members began to speak up for Wu Lai and refuted the previous accusations against Wu Lai one by one by using examples and analysis...
From beginning to end, Connor had a stern face, just listening without saying anything, and just sat there until the afternoon meeting ended...
When the special meeting was over, two elegantly decorated carriages slowly stopped in front of the governor's residence in Haitang Town. When the curtains were lifted, a delicate and charming face poked out. With a glance of her beautiful eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Sister, we are home."
"Really?" A beautiful woman slowly opened her eyes...
These two women with exactly the same beauty and charm are the twin daughters of Biki Vasili. The elder sister is named Evelina and the younger sister is named Rebecca.
The two sisters were the oddities of Haitang Town. They had been naughty since childhood, and became even more cruel and ruthless when they grew up. They took pleasure in bullying civilians and abusing slaves. What bothered Biki the most was that he had tried his best but failed to marry off the two daughters, and even offended many of his friends for this.
In fact, it’s not that Evelina and Rebecca don’t want to get married, but they really don’t like each other. The relationship between the sisters is so good that they even agreed to marry together, and marry the same man, because they feel that since the god Amon brought them into this world together, they should be together no matter what they do.
Biggie's social circle was just that, and naturally could not provide the two sisters with many options. So, the two sisters dragged on year after year, and of course no one paid attention to them. However, the two did not care, because they were two people and would never feel lonely since childhood.
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them tortured the female slaves for fun the past year, they had a little heavier hand and beat the female slave who was deeply favored by their father Biki to death, or, if Biki was so angry that she didn't beat the two sisters so hard, maybe the two of them would have been together in Haitang Town for the rest of their lives until they were old.
After being beaten, the two sisters were very angry. After a few discussions, they packed up some valuables and ran away from home.
Don't think that this pair of sisters only have tempers and no calculations. They are just used to being arrogant and domineering and are not used to using their brains. After running away from home, they did not go anywhere, but went straight to the private territory of the Gosmondo family - Mondo Woye.
Then, they used their thirty-year-old beauty and charm as well as their virginity, which no one would have thought possible, to successfully enter the harem of Mondo Woye and become the most favored maids of Godsmondo. Not only did they enjoy endless fine clothes and delicious food, but even their "little bad habits" were accepted by Godsmondo - they just liked to torture slaves, which was no big deal, they could just buy dozens of them and beat them for fun...
However, after beating several slaves to death, the sisters suddenly got tired of doing it themselves. They both felt that it was more exciting to drink wine while watching the beasts tearing the slaves apart. Whenever they saw the slaves screaming in fear, they would laugh so hard that they bent over backwards. When they saw the slaves being bitten by the beasts with their intestines pierced and their heads bleeding and dying, the sisters would unconsciously stick out their tongues and gently lick the corners of their mouths, as if they were the beast that was drinking blood...
The moment Biki saw her two daughters walk in, her first reaction was to burst into tears. Then, Evelina and Rebecca saw Aka lying on the bed "dying".
However, when Akka heard that his two sisters were now maids of Gosmondo and were in great favor, he immediately became full of energy.
"Sisters, you two must help me get revenge." Aka cried and held his sisters' hands.
"Aka, why are you crying? Your sister is here." Evelina patted Aka's shoulder and said.
"Hehe, it's time to have fun again." Rebecca said with a smile.
…
At nightfall the next day, a carriage drove straight into the Green Building. After the gate was closed again, the curtain was lifted and a figure with his head and face covered in a hooded cloak walked down.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Keli, who was standing by the car, bowed immediately without saying anything, but respectfully made a gesture of invitation: "My young master is waiting in the study, please follow me."
A moment later, a figure walked into Wu Lai's study, lifted his guard cap, and revealed a smiling face: "Wu Lai Greendo, you are so good, how can you let me enter your green building like this?"
The person who came was none other than Chief Connor. However, looking at his smiling face, he didn't seem to hate Wu Lai as outsiders had guessed.
"Oh, my honorable Chief Connor, shouldn't I stay in the Green Building these two days to avoid those rumors? Besides, the area around your mansion is not peaceful either. If I show up, it would be a waste of all this effort." Wu Lai said with a smile as he welcomed Connor to his seat.
"That's true. Qi Yuan is keeping a closer eye on me." Connor smiled and said, "But after what happened this time, Qi Yuan must have trusted you very much."
"This is all thanks to your help, Chief Connor." Wu Lai said. If Saltmarsh Town wants to make further progress, it must make Qiyuan Duncan completely trust him, otherwise the old man will be suspicious all his life and will definitely do something to hinder him.
Wu Lai didn't want to see this happen. It would be better to put all his energy into the follow-up plans. Why should he be distracted by dealing with some unnecessary troubles?
"Don't be polite with me. We are helping each other. This time, for this special meeting, Qiyuan was willing to expose three people in order to protect you from being taken down by me. It was really a high cost. Look, didn't I make money too?" Connor said with a laugh.
Wu Lai naturally knew the result of the special meeting. With Qi Yuan's men interfering, Connor could not even think of succeeding even if he really took action, let alone pretending to take Wu Lai's hat. However, all this had already been calculated by the two.
"Qiyuan's people have resubmitted the list. Bilismonte can't go to Longvington. What do you think about the candidates?" Connor asked.
When he heard the name Bilismont, Wu Lai couldn't help laughing. The fact that he went into Duncan's mansion to eat and drink and brought back a girl was not spread by Bilis, but by Wright and Connor's people. To put it bluntly, Bilis was just a scapegoat.
"I think it's better to use Qiyuan's people. Although his team in Lovington has begun to loosen, the foundation is there. We still need some time to shake it. Besides, this matter cannot be rushed." Wu Lai expressed his thoughts.
"But I will not be able to let go of my worries as long as the salt industry is in the hands of the Duncan family." Connor looked at Wu Lai seriously, "You are my hope. I believe you have the ability to solve this matter, and the sooner the better. The peace on the border may only be temporary."
Wu Lai nodded: "I am now making preparations for both situations, which is why I asked you to come here..."
That night, Woolley and Connor talked for a long time, and Connor did not leave the Green Building until after midnight. As for what the two talked about, no one else knew.
The next day, Qi Yuan invited Wu Lai to Duncan's mansion. After a long talk, he encouraged him. Since Wu Lai's identity was now known, he didn't need to hide it like before. After the talk, he simply set up a banquet and invited several heads of middle-sized families to formally introduce Wu Lai to everyone.
So, Woolley had another round of eating and drinking, and by the time he left Duncan's mansion, he was already quite tipsy.
The carriage had not been driving for long when it suddenly stopped. Wu Lai just frowned when the driver's warning voice came from outside the curtain: "Master, there are four carriages in front that have deliberately stopped us!"
There is such a thing? Wu Lai lifted the car curtain and frowned immediately...
