Chapter 199 The rain is coming
During the days after the return of the princess mission to suppress the bandits, the capital city of Hannover was very lively, and all forces were active.

First, the members of the Princess Mission, under the guise of investigating the murderer behind the assassination incident, went to various properties under the name of the Charlton family to make trouble—in the eyes of the Charlton family, the behavior of the Princess Mission was of course making trouble.

Fortunately, they did things reasonably and did not deliberately damage things or property.It's just investigating the assassination of the princess. It doesn't sound like a good thing. Who would dare to come up to join in the fun?It’s not enough to patronize any shop and wine shop, why do you have to go to Charlton?If Her Royal Highness suspects that she fell on her accidentally, no amount of heads on her neck will be enough to cut off.

The mission not only went to the scene to investigate, but also took people back to question.Although it was indeed just an inquiry, there was no uncivilized behavior such as beating to extract a confession, and he would be released after a day and a half.But the Charlton family, like other aristocratic families, has most of its staff squatting in the northern suburbs mission camp.Those who help in various industries are already stretched thin, and they are not enough.Now that a group of people have to be taken away in turn, can the Charlton family not complain?
For this matter, Count Lev personally visited Her Royal Highness Princess Yalena.But judging from his angry expression when he came out of the place where the princess was staying, the outcome of the negotiations might not be ideal.

There is no way, at least on the surface, the Charlton family is the most suspicious, and it is reasonable for the princess to investigate them.Besides, the attitude of the person sent to carry out the task is also very polite and restrained, so that no one can find fault.

In front of the Charlton family, Princess Yalena took the initiative.But in their communication with other nobles, they were deflated.

The members of the mission have been visiting each family one by one, and they have never stopped since the first day they arrived in Hanover Province.And once is not enough, we have to visit the second, third time.

But after returning from the western forest area, the attitudes of the major families have changed a lot.The members of the mission, represented by Xu Feng and Lin Zhifeng, were often rejected.Either the head of the family is away on business, or the patriarch is sick and in bed and should not see guests.Even if he was allowed to enter the mansion politely, he would only let a few insignificant collateral members greet and accompany him.

Perhaps they felt that the two of them were not worthy enough, and that it was not worthwhile for the Patriarch to go out in person.

After all, Princess Yalena is young, and her political awareness is still insufficient.Even if this kind of visit has no practical significance, it still needs to work hard to save face, how can you just send two errands to make up for it.

What's more, there are still some very meaningful things to talk about between each other.

The aristocratic gentlemen of Hanover are generous and tolerant, and their political cultivation is profound and rich.Instead of blaming the young Princess Yalena, they decided to set an example and let Her Royal Highness see the demeanor and etiquette of noble gentlemen in communication.

When they came to the princess gate in person with graceful steps, they were told that Her Royal Highness was practicing behind closed doors!
Only then did the patriarchs remember that Princess Yalena is a magician.Before Anthony turned out to be born, what about the genius magical girl known as the "New Star of the Empire".

Well, there is a good reason for that too.Even if you choose to practice at this time...the magnanimous and tolerant nobles had no choice but to go back to their homes and come back another day.You know, magicians practice day and night.

They have perseverance, or the weight of the private soldiers in the camp is heavy enough, and they arrive on time every day like a clock.

Finally, Princess Yalena was able to meet distinguished guests without practicing.But no matter what the aristocrats said, Her Highness the Princess just blinked her beautiful big eyes and listened very carefully, but she just didn't have any definite response.

"I don't quite understand what the adults are saying. Everyone knows that Anthony is usually in charge. Unfortunately, he is practicing today. Otherwise, I will discuss it with him later, and then I will tell you How about an answer, my lord?"

The patriarchs of the various families wailed in their hearts!
Seeing that the difficult Anthony was not there, I thought there was a chance to open a gap from the foolish Princess Yalena.Who would have thought that this turned out to be a big pit, waiting for them to jump into it.

If they remember correctly, then the enchanting boy should, probably, seem to be a double cultivator of monsters, right?And the realm is higher, and it takes longer to practice.

When will we wait! ?

The generous noble gentlemen came gracefully and calmly, and left gracefully and calmly.With a wave of his sleeves, he only brought back a stomach full of anger.

Let you be arrogant, I want to see if you can be arrogant for a few days.snort!

The major families have lost a large number of armed forces, so there are naturally various inconveniences.But it's just inconvenient.Although the glorious empire is full of flames of war, the Hannover province is still peaceful due to its geographical location.Besides, if something really happened, wouldn't there be tens of thousands of troops directly under the Grand Duke?

Relatively speaking, the Princess Mission can't afford to waste more time.

With the Grand Duke's Palace deliberately avoiding it, the conflict between the two parties can only be resolved by the two parties themselves.Princess Yalina's attitude will not solve any problems, but may make the relationship between them even more rigid.

Did she think that since she was assassinated and wronged, she could take advantage of the situation to put pressure on the nobles?childish!

As for urging the province of Hanover to send troops to support various battlefields?Dream it!The Grand Duke was already hesitating, if all the nobles who were offended by the princess would unite together and speak out together.The balance in the Grand Duke's heart will be completely tilted, and I'm afraid he will be able to make a decision immediately.

These secret confrontations hidden under the gentle appearance can only be regarded as appetizers before meals.The banquets and talks held by the important Marquis Franz in the province are the highlights of the turmoil in the provincial capital city.

For a moment, all the nobles and gentlemen seemed to be unable to sit still, and ran around the city with their entourage.Either they are busy attending the banquet of Lord Marquis, or they are visiting the residence of the princess mission; they are not going to have secret talks with close families, or they are meeting with the gentlemen of the same small circle to exchange opinions.

Not to mention the nobles, even ordinary people, as long as they are a little smart and have a little insight, they can feel the increasingly tense and depressive atmosphere in the city.

In this vicissitudes, how the situation in the city will develop has become the hottest topic in the restaurants and restaurants in Jiexiangwei recently.

"Have you heard that last night at the Jindu restaurant in the south of the city, there were noble gentlemen holding a banquet. I saw a carriage parked there at the door, and there were nearly a dozen different family badges, large and small. .At least two of them belong to the earl family."

A bearded man drank the cheapest rice wine, bragging about his knowledge to his companions.

Some were elated, and naturally some were pouring cold water.

"Cut~ What is this? During the recent period, which night did there not be a gathering of nobles? Not to mention, didn't the Marquis Franz just hold a grand reception at his mansion the night before yesterday? Tsk tsk tsk, That scene was shocking! The carriages of the major families that were heading there almost filled the spacious main street. According to my estimation, I am afraid that all the families in the city have sent people there."

A tall and thin man like a bamboo pole is showing that he has more knowledge than the bearded man.If it weren't for the fact that his clothes were not really good for the public, just listening to the extremely detailed description, people might mistakenly think that he was also fortunate to be present at the party in the mansion of the Marquis.

The bearded man who was robbed of the limelight was naturally very dissatisfied, but there was not enough stock in his stomach to refute, so he could only mutter: "What all the families, I don't know about the others, but at least the people from the Grand Duke's Mansion did not come .”

Zhu Gan was enjoying the envious and admiring gazes of his companions, when he heard this, he immediately became angry.

"You're just bragging! Of course I know that the people from the Grand Duke's Mansion were not present, so there's no need to say more. Everyone in the city knows that the people from the Grand Duke's Mansion have been very low-key recently, and they hardly appear in public. .”

"His Royal Highness didn't participate either." The other party added.

"You..." Zhugan's face immediately turned into a pig's liver.

A rather refined middle-aged man with a goatee said: "His Royal Highness is also busy. The assassination has been investigated for more than half a month, but nothing useful has been found, but the Charlton family has been completely offended." Yes. I heard that Count Lev has united several good families and asked Her Royal Highness the princess for an explanation."

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted: "The murderer has their family's tattoo on his body. It is enough for Her Highness the Princess not to punish them directly. What else can I say?"

The goatee stroked his beard, and said slowly: "That being said, but Charlton said that there is no murderer who would automatically expose his master. The collection of investigations and inquiries has already greatly affected their business. No, now I finally can't bear it anymore and challenged Her Highness the Princess."

"I've heard about this too." The bearded man finally found the topic again, "It's not because Count Lev is anxious, they are having a hard time recently. The two shops selling cloth in the West District have been transferred to There are other families, it seems that the loss is heavy."

"Huh?" A young man who was watching was just listening to the gossip of the nobles with relish, but when he heard this, he suddenly interrupted.

"No way? How did I see that Changshou Avenue in the East District originally belonged to another Lord Earl's large shop, but it was replaced with the Charlton family badge yesterday?"

"Boy, you can't read it wrong, right? If Charlton bought such a big store, it can't be quiet and silent. It should be announced with drums and gongs anyway, don't they? It’s only a small amount of money.”

"Maybe I just took over, and things are not ready yet. Maybe wait for a while..."

"..."

These common people are limited to low positions and limited knowledge.Although everyone walked the streets and alleys and saw a lot of things, they couldn't further summarize and extract useful information.

Not far from the group of them, a few shrewd men dressed in ordinary domestic servant clothes had doubts in their hearts at this moment.

Changshou Avenue in the East District is the busiest, busiest, and most upscale commercial area in the city. No matter what type of shops it is, they are all making money every day.

It is not uncommon for the Charlton family to get a large store here, after all, their strength lies there.But in today's difficult stall, it was even taken over from an earl.The information contained in it is a bit intriguing.

The servants looked at each other and nodded silently.Quickly recruit the shopkeeper, check out and leave.

This information must be reported back to the master immediately.
