Mystery: From Meeting Amon

Chapter 178 Gossip
The waiter shook his head and explained truthfully: "This is the residence of Baron Reagan. I don't know Mr. Lyle Slant."

"Sure enough, after the accident with Miss Stephanie's father, there have been irreversible changes in the past two years." Lewis complained in his heart, he nodded, and asked again:

"I used to have some friendship with Mr. Lyle Slant, and this house used to be Mr. Lyle's former residence. I want to know the current situation of Mr. Lyle's family. I wonder if I can communicate with Baron Reagan?"

The waiter suddenly looked at the position behind Lewis. A carriage trimmed with gold silk came slowly from the end of the street. He said to Lewis:

"Baron Reagan just got back from going to the theater."

Looking for the waiter's sight, Lewis put all his hearing and feeling on the carriage, and he heard the owner in the carriage humming a poem:

"My doubts, the old deep night
stay on the slender branches
In order to overcome the defect of pursuing the rose ideal
Let's think about it...

Faun from your cold blue eyes like fountains of tears

From your chastity fly bewildered hallucinations..."

When the carriage stopped outside the house, the sound of poetry in the carriage stopped abruptly. Baron Reagan seemed to be in a good mood. He straightened his clothes and added:

"Mrs. Boris MP, the taste is really good!"

The carriage stopped, and the waiter led the wooden steps to the side of the carriage. The baron wore a white wool wig on his head, his chest was half exposed, and stepped gracefully on the steps.

"Baron Reagan." Lewis stepped forward, saluted, and asked directly, "I want to know what happened to the original owner of this house?"

Baron Reagan walked down from the carriage slowly. He sized up Lewis and said coldly, "I'm not interested in Loen people who don't have romantic cells."

Seeing Baron Reagan passing him by, Lewis said quietly, "Mr. Boris' wife, ah, it feels..."

In the next second, Baron Reagan turned around mechanically, and said with a smile, "What a gentleman friend Loen! Oh, what a beautiful and charming lady, just like an angel!"

Lewis raised the corner of his mouth inadvertently. This Baron Reagan has a high EQ, no wonder he can become a baron:
"I heard that this is the former residence of wine merchant Mr. Lyle Slant. I used to do business in Loen and was an old friend of Mr. Lyle. I would like to ask what happened here."

Baron Reagan squeezed out the creases on his face. Under the thick wool wig, he could vaguely see the mangy scalp. He said truthfully:
"This house is indeed the former residence of Mr. Lyle. Two years ago, Mr. Lyle went to Loen and heard that he died when pirates robbed a ship.

It's a pity that the wine produced by the once famous Slante Manor has become a swan song since then.

Mr. Lyle's wife lived here at that time, and I felt sorry for her, so I bought the house. "

You don't look like a kind person, you dare to try Mrs. Boris... Lewis complained about Baron Reagan in his heart, and continued to ask:

"I want to meet Mr. Lyle's wife and do something for the dead Mr. Lyle. Do you have any clues?"

Baron Reagan frowned and thought, and said:
"Since Mr. Lyle's death, most of his assets have been acquired by well-meaning people, but only the Slant Wine Estate has been preserved.

There is a beautiful vineyard there, just outside the western part of Trier, which is already very far away from the urban area.

If you're looking for Mrs. Slanter, maybe go there. "

Lewis took off his top hat, saluted, and said:
"Thank you for your cooperation."

He didn't say much, and after he got away from the house, he found a carriage rental company.

It would be too disrespectful for a great merchant worth over a hundred thousand pounds to always walk or take a stagecoach.

No matter how much money you have in your hand, you must have the corresponding decency of that level. This is the value that this world should have.

In the end, Lewis chose a carriage with a frame inlaid with gold and silver, and the monthly rent was around 50 pounds.

Miss Stephanie seemed very pessimistic. When she left Baron Negan's house, she was silent a lot, and even spoke a lot less.

Lewis knew what was bothering Stephanie. Stephanie used to come from a wealthy family, but in the past two years, not only did she lose her freedom, she became a commodity-like existence.

The hometown that was once missed has also undergone tremendous changes. The former residence has become the residence of Baron Reagan, and even the family members do not know where they are.

"Pause."

When he was about to leave the King's Quarter, Lewis called the driver to stop temporarily, and he bought a copy of the Trier Morning News.

When you open the newspaper, you can see a series of sex scandals, such as: Senator Boris’s sex scandal was revealed, the husband and wife have a 20-year age difference, and it is suspected that mother and daughter take everything.

"wipe!"

Lewis subconsciously swears, the Trier Morning Post and the Backlund Morning Post are completely two extremes, one with scandals taking up the main page, and the other with political affairs.

Wait, Boris MP's mother-daughter take-all is considered a political matter, and it should be done by political enemies to ruin his reputation. He doesn't believe that a MP's private life is so chaotic.

Wait... Senator Boris' wife is having an affair with Baron Reagan.

Lewis is messed up, it's just a front page headline, and he can't wait to read it.

The Trier Morning Post... how interesting!

Unknowingly, Lewis fell into deep learning, until the coachman reminded him that Slante Manor had arrived, and he was freed from "business".

This is a rather luxurious manor. The building covers an area of ​​more than 15 square meters, and the building has three floors and a height of nearly [-] meters.

There are tall Intis sycamores planted all around, and there are several gardens. The vineyard and winemaking workshop with the largest area are quite far from the building.

"If such a manor is to be taken down in its entirety, it will cost more than [-] pounds. Miss Stephanie's family seems to be very rich, even if it is already down."

While lamenting his own poverty, Lewis led Stephanie to the tall three-story building.

Manors like this usually have staff guarding the gates. If it was placed a few decades ago, when slavery was practiced, many slaves from the Northern Continent would inevitably live in the manor.

These slaves will be responsible for picking grapes and planting grapes.

Even now, when slavery has been abolished, there are still many female workers responsible for picking grapes.

Outside the iron gate, Lewis was able to see a waiter in a tuxedo suit. He looked arrogant and half-closed his eyes, as if he was looking down at the visitor.

"Miss Stephanie, do you know him?" Seeing Stephanie making subtle body movements, Lewis asked with a voice that only two people could hear, his expression unchanged.
