Chapter 55: strange request
"Shur Brand? Marquis Brand?" Leo frowned slightly. The Brand family is a big family in the middle and upper classes of the royal capital. Make a face bitter.
"Is the news confirmed?" Leo asked, but he didn't wait for the other party's answer. Since Brown reported it himself, I'm afraid he had already investigated it a few times. He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Don't alarm Bu Marquis Rand, Brown, you bring me Brand's file."
Hearing this, Brown immediately handed over a heavy parchment scroll, and Leo took it and slowly read it, frowning gradually.
Seeing this scene, several high-level patrollers also held their breaths slightly, and for a while, the entire office was extremely quiet.
Leo subconsciously sat on the luxurious Savonarola chair, leaned back slightly, and tapped his fingers on the ancient desk. The upper level of the wind man was even more awe-inspiring.
"Huh?" Leo's eyes stagnated for a bit, and fell on a line of small characters on the parchment scroll. In 347 Pande served as the Kingdom's Minister of Etiquette for a one-year term, which means that it happened about 8 years ago. .
"This Shure Brand once served as the Minister of Etiquette of the Kingdom?" Leo looked at Brown next to him, looking a little puzzled. After all, the Minister of Etiquette of the Kingdom has a good position, but his power is not large, Shure Brand. At that time, he was already the patriarch of the Brand family, and he still held such a leisurely official position?
"Well, this is 347 years," Brown frowned slightly and looked at Bella beside him. Maybe he would know something about the time when the other party became the deputy envoy of the Wind Patrol?
"My lord, the Marquis of Brand was in conflict with Duke Brennus, and due to the pressure of Duke Brennus, His Majesty had just put him into the Court of Etiquette as Minister of Etiquette." Bella really understood. , "But after all, he is the patriarch of the Brand family.
The Brand family has always been a royal party, so the Minister of Etiquette of the Royal Capital did not hold the post for a long time, and then re-entered and returned to the Legal Department to serve as the current Minister of Foreign Affairs. "
"Duke Brennus," Leo was slightly startled, how could this Shure Brand be able to offend that one? It's also a bit interesting, Duke Brennus is also the top boss in the kingdom. He came from a wealthy family and is extremely powerful, similar to the Duke of Alama.
Because of the unique system of the Lion Kingdom, these grand dukes, even if they look at Pande, are ranked in the forefront in strength, and the strength of their families is far beyond the great nobles of ordinary countries.
"Then when he was the Minister of Etiquette 8 years ago, did Milin Hughton ever serve as the Minister of Etiquette?" Leo's next sentence made a few people wonder, how did he get involved with the Minister of Etiquette?
The conflict between Jungleen Hughton and Leo had already been spread privately by Brown, and the Minister of Etiquette provoked the patroller. , that Milin Hutton was not from a great noble family.
The current status is all earned by Milin Hughton himself. The Hughton family started out as just a court viscount. It is precisely because of this that Milin Hughton's deterrent power is so weak, the strength of the family. It is not strong, and the background is not hard. In this Kingdom of the Lion King, which is especially strong in the family, it can be said that the foundation is extremely weak.
"Yes, uh, I can't say that completely," Bella replied subconsciously, which confused several people.
"Eight years ago, Lord Milin Hutton was the ceremonial officer of the Court of Etiquette, and he was considered to be Marquis Brand's subordinate. Marquis Brand only stayed in the Court of Etiquette for eight months before leaving, while Milin Houghton was a subordinate of Marquis Brand. Houghton became one of the ministers of etiquette in the kingdom." Bella was obviously extremely well-informed.
"That means they have a good relationship?" Leo raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Why didn't Blair ask Marquis Brand to rescue his father?"
"I can't say friendship completely," Bella said with a frown. "After all, the Marquis of Brand was entered into the Court of Etiquette, but Duke Brennus might not be able to deal with the Marquis of Brand, but It's quite easy to deal with Milin Hutton, who has just become the Minister of Etiquette.
Naturally, Jungle Hutton did not dare to be too intimate with Marquis Brand, but if he said that he had no friendship at all, it would definitely be unrealistic. Maybe now their family plans to seek help from Marquis Brand. "
"Very good," Leo re-folded the sheepskin roll in front of him, with a bit of joy on his face, and turned to the other wind patrol beside him, "You send someone to invite Blair. "
"Huh?" The wind patrol was stunned for a moment, a little confused, while Brown said quickly, "Blair Houghton, the eldest son of Lord Houghton in the Forest, heir of the Houghton family."
"Ah, yes!" The higher-ups of the wind patrol also understood for a while, and hurriedly replied respectfully.
……
Soon, Blair was surrounded by several wind patrollers and came to the huge headquarters of the wind patrol. Looking at the second-floor building, Blair's face turned pale with fright. The great reputation of the wind patrol was built on the Above the bones of countless people in the kingdom.
The Houghton family is not a great aristocrat who has inherited the old. In front of the wind watchers, they have no confidence at all. They just don't know how these wolf-like wind watchers are staring at him? Do you think that the Hughton family can make a slap in the face when the father is not there?
That's not right, my father is only temporarily imprisoned, and even if my father is still there, the wind patrol won't be too scruples, right? Could it be the hands of the country nobles? How could he be involved with these notorious wind patrollers?
For a while, Blair also thought of Leo at the first time. After all, at the moment, Leo is the one who has the most trouble with Blair with the Hughton family.
"Brier," a familiar voice sounded in this dark building, and three figures appeared in the darkness. Among them, a tall and handsome young man dressed in a red aristocratic burqa, who was not Leo?
It's over!
For a while, Blair's legs softened, and the other party's appearance here is undoubtedly directly related to the fact that he was brought here by the wind patrol, but how could such a country noble have contact with such a privileged institution as the kingdom ? how can that be?
The wind patrol and a country baron should not be able to fight with each other? For a while, Blair's mind went blank for a while, but he also understood why his father was thrown directly into prison, and why Baron Walker was so afraid.
But?
Even though he had a lot of doubts, Blair didn't dare to think about it any more, the big thing was really bad!
"Several Windwatchers," Blair said tremblingly, "this Leo is just a country noble, don't be fooled by him, our Houghton family..."
"Shut up, Blair, who gave you the guts to arrange the wind envoy," Bella shouted angrily, making Blair's complexion change again, and subconsciously murmured, "I didn't ...
Wind patrol! "
Blair's almost hoarse shouts undoubtedly highlighted how surprised he was in his heart. At this time, he was even more shocked and desperate in his mind. He heard it right, then Leo Archimonde, a hanging The country baron with the title of earl was actually appointed as a wind patrol?
This... No wonder his Houghton family has undergone such a big change. The Patrolman, he is really a big man in the kingdom, even if it is not as good as those big nobles with heavy fists, but for ordinary nobles and officials In other words, the deterrent effect is too great!
"Brayer," Leo said softly, looking at the trembling Blair in front of him, in stark contrast to the high-spiritedness he used to be, and couldn't help but understand it a little boring, "Now you understand."
"Also please forgive me!" Blair's legs were so frightened that he begged for mercy anxiously, "Before, I offended you because I didn't know what to do, so please be lenient..."
He knew that the mere Houghton family would definitely not be able to stop the pressure of the patrolmen. It could even be said that Leo was enough to easily destroy their family. The minister of etiquette without background is considered a figure in front of ordinary officials. , but in front of the patroller, there is no deterrent, unless it is like the former Marquis of Brand, who has a very strong family behind it, and he is also a great noble.
"Stop," Leo wasn't in the mood to listen to the begging of Blair in front of him. Even if Blair was very uneasy, he was too frightened to say more.
"Your father was a ceremonial officer before, and after Marquis Brand left the Court of Etiquette, he took over his class. Do you two still have contact? Or, why haven't you considered going to Marquis Brand for help? ?" Leo approached Blair in front of him and said slowly.
"Ah!" Blair became more and more panicked, and said hurriedly, "Lord Patrol, our Houghton family has some connection with Marquis Brand, but it is already very weak, unless it is a last resort, or..."
"In other words, you still have to go to Marquis Brand for help in the end?" Leo's mouth curved slightly.
"Yes... ah, no!" Blair subconsciously answered honestly, but immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly changed his words.
"It's okay," Leo's smile became more and more obvious. "You go to Marquis Brand. If you can persuade him to beg me, I will not pursue your father's affairs."
"What!" Hearing this, Blair was completely stunned. What was this operation? The cruiser supported himself to find the Marquis of Brand to rescue his father from him? Then, is this Lord Patrolman planning to let his father go?
Or, should the Marquis of Brand ask for each other? What is the reason for this? For a while, Blair was also greatly puzzled.
