Wear it with the house, but I am a black household [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 214 The World of Western Classics 26

Following the miscellaneous letter with no key information, the colonel received a new letter within two days.

The content of this letter is much more exciting. It stated that several people heard Lisa and the earl arguing in the study, as if they heard the words "betrayal, don't speak out".

They felt that the information was very important, and they insisted that they would pay the four of them [-] pounds each.

Darcy held the letter and frowned, "They are lying. Earl Thompson may be flawed, but given the status of the Thompson family in England, he will not betray."

Colonel Fitzwilliam didn't believe it either, thinking that they were here to cheat money, "Then I refuse them."

As he was about to leave, Anxi stopped him, "Wait, Fitzwilliam, it's a bit strange. No one would tell such an obvious lie, right? And, since it's a lie, why should they ask for a price increase? "

"Having said that, this information is of no use to us at all. They are all narrating the whole process without any real evidence." Colonel Fitzwilliam also felt abnormal, but he would not really pay for this abnormality .

"Could they have been exposed, and Earl Thompson found out that we contacted them, and this letter is defrauding us?" Bingley proposed an idea.

"No, if it was Earl Thompson, he would not come up with such an easy lie. Normal people would not act rashly when they read this letter. It is meaningless to do so." Darcy shook his head.

"Anyway, let's wait and see. Let's wait and see what happens next. If nothing happens, just pretend that you haven't received this letter." Anxi still felt that something was wrong, so he proposed to stay put.

The others thought for a while and did not raise any objections.

The next morning, while Anxi was still pondering the meaning of that letter, he heard a shocking news.

A murder case happened in Rich Street in London, and the deceased was a woman.According to others in the house, this woman was Lord Thompson's lover, as were four other women in the house.

Such a shocking scandal full of blood and lust immediately spread across the streets of London at the fastest speed.

It is said that the servants and other lovers in the mansion all saw that it was the Earl who killed him.

Others said that it was Lisa, the woman who was dissatisfied with the earl's doting on other women, and yelled at the earl out of jealousy. The earl was dissatisfied and wanted to teach her a little lesson. Who knows, that woman committed suicide weakly.

Of course, there are also claims that other women couldn't look down on Lisa and killed her.

Either way, the Thompson family's reputation was damaged when this incident broke out.

Everyone was discussing, "I thought Earl Thompson loved his wife, and I praised him as a good man, but I didn't expect that there would be a beautiful woman in a golden house."

"That's right, he hides all the women together so miserly, it's no wonder his women are dissatisfied."

"Tell me, how did the woman named Lisa die? Did the count kill her?"

"Who knows, but a gentleman shouldn't do such an irrational behavior?" There are quite a few people who think this way.

In order to further damage the reputation of Earl Thompson, Colonel Fitzwilliam also acted quickly, and quickly asked the investigation bureau to investigate.

Originally, such a death case was to be handed over to the police station for investigation, but Colonel Fitzwilliam directly applied to the investigation bureau under the pretext that the Thompson family had power in the police station.

The investigation bureau and the police station are not in the same sphere of influence. When they received the news, whether it was out of a joke mentality or because they were really serious and responsible, they immediately arranged for people to check the scene.

Then, they got the shocking news that Mr. Earl, the dignified Member of Parliament, actually betrayed the British Empire.

In order to keep his secret from being discovered, he did not hesitate to kill his lover who had been with him for more than ten years.

When the count heard such absurd remarks, he was of course unwilling to admit it, and loudly accused the women and servants of lying.

He rested in Annie's room all morning, and never went out at all. How could he go to the study to kill people, let alone betrayal.

The Thompson family is a veteran British aristocrat, a great aristocrat loyal to the British Empire, how could they face such unreliable slander.

However, no matter how righteous Earl Thompson was, facing the unanimous accusations of the four lovers and servants, his words became meaningless excuses.

When the Bureau of Investigation forcefully opened the door of the study and searched a series of letters from it, they directly nailed him to the pillar of shame.

Everyone was in an uproar, they didn't expect Earl Thompson to actually do such a thing.

Although it is unbelievable, the evidence has been found, and there is no room for defense.

At that moment, Mr. Earl was taken away and locked in the prison of the Bureau of Investigation. What awaits him is the most severe trial.

But before that, the Investigation Bureau still needs to find out whether there are any people who have been in contact with Earl Thompson who have betrayed the country. These moths must be cleaned up one by one, and no one can be left behind.

This is a big project, and everyone who has a relationship with the Earl must be investigated, including Colonel Fitzwilliam, Darcy, Anse and Bentley, who he has been causing trouble recently.

However, since they are in a hostile relationship, the investigation is not strict, just asking some questions.

Basically, it revolves around whether Earl Thompson will deal with them because they discovered the earl's secret, which led to such retaliation.

The four of them looked at each other and suddenly felt that something was wrong. This way of asking questions is too strange, right?

Isn't this inducing them to tell what they knew about Thompson's betrayal?

If the four of them were despicable and resented Earl Thompson because of what they were suppressed before, if they responded with a little inclination, it would further prove the fact that the Earl was betrayed.

For example, "I know he is not a qualified gentleman, is it normal to betray him?"

"I should have thought that he is such a despicable person. If he can suppress us for a small profit, it is not impossible to betray us for a greater profit."

Or, just lie, "Yes, that's right, we discovered his behavior, but we don't have evidence, so it's hard to tell. I didn't expect to face such suppression."

These people from the investigation bureau, every sentence of the question is full of temptation, do you want them to say such a thing?

Darcy's face sank, and he exchanged glances with Colonel Fitzwilliam, and the two reached an agreement.

The colonel said directly, "I've been unsatisfactory recently. I thought I was a newcomer to the officialdom, and I was inevitably squeezed out. Is it because of Earl Thompson? Why did he deal with me? I didn't do anything to apologize to him, did I?"

The people from the Investigation Bureau looked anxious, "You don't know, then why did you ask someone to investigate Mr. Earl? Isn't it because you know about this and you want revenge?"

"Don't blame me," Colonel Fitzwilliam was shocked, "I'm just because I'm having a hard time, and I just know that Mr. Earl dotes on his lover, and wants to follow his lover's footsteps, to see if I can treat the Earl as he likes. I also know that giving gifts is not honorable, but I'm not the only one doing it, you guys can blame me for such a trivial matter."

Who is Colonel Fitzwilliam? He was a soldier at the beginning, and later mixed with those low-level workers for a period of time.

Seeing that there is really nothing to ask here, the people from the investigation bureau had no choice but to turn their attention to Darcy, "Mr. Darcy, you have always been an honest and trustworthy gentleman, do you know that Darcy's clothing store has been frequently troubled by people recently, is it What did Monsieur Earl do?"

Darcy's 'upright and honest' direct question, "Earl Thompson? Why? The Darcy family has always been with him, why is he dealing with the Darcy family's clothing store?"

"It is said that it is for Sir Jones," an investigator said quickly and directly.

Then he was immediately stopped by the leader, but to no avail, everyone heard it.

Darcy calmly said, "Sir Jones? So he was the one who stood behind Sir Jones? It was also investigated by your Investigation Bureau at the beginning, right? It was said that everything was done by the customs officer and Sir Jones. Why are you taking the risk now? An Earl of Thompson? Did you investigate clearly at the beginning? This is how you do things with taxpayers’ money? When the House of Lords is held, I will definitely speak out about your problems and let everyone look at the investigation If you can’t do a good job with the ability and ability of the director of the bureau, you might as well replace it with someone more capable.”

The leader was about to break out in cold sweat. They had always known Mr. Darcy's sternness and high demands, but they didn't expect him to be so sharp, and he caught his own flaws all at once.

Can't go on.

Immediately, he immediately explained, "Mr. Darcy, this is a mistake in our work. We did not find out Mr. Earl behind this scene. But don't worry, we now know the truth and will investigate this incident together. .”

As he said that, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he immediately took them away.

Darcy didn't say much, and let them leave directly.

Although Bingley didn't understand why Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam pretended not to know, they still kept silent and watched the play with Anxi silently.

It wasn't until those people left that they asked curiously, "Darcy, Fitzwilliam, why are you lying, and, by saying this, aren't you helping Earl Thompson? We are enemies."

Darcy's complexion was very bad, a very gloomy kind.Fitzwilliam is not much better, anyone who is calculated to deal with others will not have a good face.

The two were lost in thought, and neither of them answered Bentley.

It was Anxi who explained, "Although we have enmity with Earl Thompson, we may not have enmity with a third party."

"A third party? Where is the third party?" Bentley wondered.

Anxi didn't even bother to whet his appetite, and said directly, "We all know that this so-called betrayal is unlikely, but now the evidence is conclusive. What does this mean? It means that someone has wronged Earl Thompson! If it's just those few women, Obviously, such a careful plan cannot be achieved, that is to say, behind these women, there is a third party manipulating all of this."

"Now, this third party wants to use our hands to fully confirm the Earl's betrayal. Once confirmed, the Earl will be completely doomed, including the Thompson family."

Bentley nodded, indeed, if this is the case, the matter is too serious.Although they have a hostile relationship with Earl Thompson, they can't do such a vicious thing and put people to death directly.

"The most important thing is, who is this third party? Is it just Earl Thompson's enemy? Is it possible that it is a certain country's power?"

You know, the Thompson family still has a few very promising children in the army.
