Chapter 46: cliff edge
Seeing that Ederson came in, Duke Wilson could not help frowning: "Why are you here? Is there anything?"
Adelson looked sideways at Evan's figure and turned around the corner, then lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Adelson suddenly raised his head to look at Duke Wilson, with a strange gleam in his eyes: "Lord Duke, I have already investigated what you said about Pastor Bruce."
Duke Wilson abruptly stood up from his chair, his heartbeat beating violently like a drum, he looked straight at Ederson, his eyes glowing with faint red threads.
"Speak!"
Adelson was a little surprised by Duke Wilson's violent reaction, and was stunned for a while.
"You..." He was a little hard to say for a while: "What I want to tell you before this is that Pastor Bruce is not as beautiful as you think."
Ederson could see that Duke Wilson spoke highly of Pastor Bruce, but according to the information he just got, the pastor was not as simple as he appeared.
Duke Wilson slowly sat back in his chair, his mood gradually calmed down, he crossed his fingers under his jaw, looked at Edson with a cold expression, and whispered: "Tell me ."
Duke Wilson did not agree with Ederson's words. In his opinion, it was impossible for Pastor Bruce to do anything to surprise him.
Ederson saw that the Duke did not agree with what he said, and sighed in his heart, and then said: "My lord, Pastor Bruce came from a family of squires, and his father was a Yorkshire man who was very worthy. Respected squire, but because Reverend Bruce was the youngest son and could not inherit the family property, he was sent to boarding school by his father at a very young age until he entered public school when he was twelve years old. That's when I met Mr. Ferd."
When he said this, Ederson raised his head and glanced at Duke Wilson, his eyes were still calm, without any change, Edson whispered in his heart, these are just preludes, the next If so, it would be a big dish. He wanted to see how tolerant Duke Wilson was to Pastor Bruce.
Adelson couldn't help but clenched his fists, and said: "Sir Duke, it's definitely not a coincidence that Ferd came to Delane, I can be sure that he came for Pastor Bruce. of."
Do these two really have any past? Duke Wilson felt a little loose in his heart.
Adelson couldn't help laughing in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you know that Mr. Ferd is the son of an earl?"
Duke Wilson nodded.
Adelson's eyes had a trace of malice, and his smile became more and more pleasant: "He is the son of an earl, but now he has been reduced to running errands for the church, this situation is really too people. Surprised, but what you don't know is that the reason why Mr. Ferd has been reduced to this point is because of a scandal."
Gossip? Duke Wilson suddenly thought of a very unpleasant direction, and his heart began to beat violently.
"What... scandal?" Duke Wilson asked with some difficulty.
Ederson looked at Duke Wilson's obviously broken expression, but he didn't show any mercy.
"Mr. Verde had rumors of homosexuality, and at that time the closest person to Mr. Verd was Pastor Bruce, and Mr. Verd was expelled from the school for this matter , his father would even cut off his relationship with him. If he hadn't had a very powerful grandfather, he would have been really abandoned by his father, and Pastor Bruce also left the public school after this incident. I went to another public school to study, and according to the investigation of my spies, the people who spread this rumor were the people who had a very good relationship with Pastor Bruce…”
Speaking of this, Ederson stopped his mouth meaningfully. He looked at Duke Wilson's face that had changed several times, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Since it came from someone close to Pastor Bruce, it means that either this is true, or it is Pastor Bruce who deliberately framed Ferd, no matter which of the two, Bruce The priest's posture will be very ugly, and Duke Wilson will not be ignorant of such a simple truth.
"You... go out!" Duke Wilson said dryly, his eyes almost dazed at this moment.
Adelson nodded very calmly and withdrew gracefully.
It wasn't until Ederson closed the door that Duke Wilson tossed everything on the table to the ground in a rage. He didn't expect...I didn't expect that these two people would have such a past …
Duke Wilson panted like a trapped beast. He didn't need to think about the two results that Ederson suggested, but he couldn't understand the two results anyway. accept.
He wanted to call Ederson back and let him investigate the matter thoroughly, but he called back the rumored people and asked the ins and outs of the matter, but at this time he But he didn't dare, because he was afraid that this matter would go in a direction that he couldn't control.
Duke Wilson clenched his fists, his heart was restless like a trapped beast, unable to calm down at all.
Adelson leaned against the door of the Duke's study, and a smile finally appeared at the corner of his mouth. He supported his forehead with his hand and buried his smile deeply into the palm of his hand. In this world, the Duke believes that It is enough for a person to be alone, no pastor or savior should appear at all.
The Duke's study.
Evan leaned against the door, and suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart, Edson's weird smile, the sound of the Duke's study just now, and Edson's weird look at him before, let him He has an almost acute intuition for the approaching danger.
Evan's heart was a little flustered, at this time... what did Edson and the Duke say?
He was a little fidgety in the room, this thing was like a sword hanging over his head, making him tremble all the time.
What is the relationship between? Evan thought about the duke's indifference to Ferde before, and suddenly realized a problem. He didn't want to tell the duke. According to the duke's obsession in the original book, wouldn't he go back and investigate?
Evan felt that he was about to suffocate. He ignored such a big problem. Of course, the Duke will investigate. If it really develops to that point, then he is not far from being completely finished.
Now, according to today's time, Ederson must not have had time to investigate himself thoroughly, and if he dragged it further, he might have.
Evan returned to his chair, pinched his cuff, and countless thoughts flew through his mind. When he finally calmed down, he suddenly discovered that the room had long been in the room. It's darkened.
Evan sat on the chair, his body was a little stiff, he moved his arms and wanted to stand up.
"Pastor Bruce?" Suddenly a servant knocked on the door: "Do you want to have dinner in the room?"
Evan was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Where is the Duke?"
Evan's heart sank, it seems that his guess is nine times out of ten.
"I'll use it in the house." Evan's tone was still calm: "Please bring it up."
The servant answered respectfully, turned and left.
Evan stood up from the chair, picked up the match on the table, and lit the candle by the table, he must not panic at this time, this matter has not reached the point of exhaustion, he still have a chance.
Evan clenched his fists hard, and gradually made a plan in his heart.
When the servant brought dinner up, Evan was sitting at the table reading a book. When the servant came in, he raised his head and smiled and said warmly, "Put it down, thank you."
The servant smiled a little embarrassedly. In the past few days, Tom went back because of the church, and the Duke found a new servant for Evan, but because of Evan's habits, this servant did not How much can I get in touch with Evan.
"You are the Duke's distinguished guest, and it is my pleasure to serve you."
He definitely won't stay for a week, because he believes that with a character like Duke Wilson's love and evil, he can't have a good end.
The servant withdrew, and Evan closed the book in his hand, a book about the church and the Bible, a new book by a religious scientist, because of its boldness The use of words and the idea of not being secular are prohibited by the Holy See, and the duke, as the top noble in the country, should be the most beneficial supporter of the church, but there is such a bibliography, which shows that the so-called duke’s so-called The piety of the nobles, or the piety of the nobles and the royal family, is only to bind the people at the bottom.
Evan sighed, Duke Wilson can give him this book carelessly, it means that he has no intention to cover up this aspect at all, in this case, his so-called The character of the priest does not give him more advantages.
Evan brought over the dinner served by the servant, simple mashed potatoes and steak, a bowl of soup, and a glass of red wine, which is indeed the taste of the Duke's Palace, Evan quickly put his own After dinner, thinking about his plan, he left his room.
Evan stood in the empty corridor. Because the Duke was not at home, the whole second floor was dark, and the servants on the first floor also returned to the servants' lounge. Eerie silence.
Evan was standing there, but the coldness in his heart could not be restrained from the bottom of his heart. If you don't succeed, you will succeed. This is an ancient Eastern famous saying, and it is also his firmest belief tonight. .
Live or die, it depends on tonight.
