Chapter 93： blackmail three

Emerson waited until noon the next day with resentment.

After Paul bid farewell to Quiller and his party and teased his female advisor a little, Bernard sent someone to find Emerson and informed him that he could meet with Earl Greyman at 2:00 p.m., and the place was still the drawing room of the castle. .

At two o'clock, Paul came to the drawing room, but did not see the messenger.

"Forget it, just wait for a while."

Paul opened a book and sat in the living room to read it.

After reading a chapter, he looked up at the grandfather clock in the living room, 15 minutes had passed.

He shook his head, feeling slightly displeased, since he took over as the lord, he hasn't met anyone who dares to release his pigeons.

After waiting for a while, it was already half past two, and Paul couldn't bear it anymore.

"Berner!" he cried.

The chief secretary immediately ran over from the office, "What's the matter? Lord Greiman!"

"Huh? Where's that Sir Emerson? Has he left?" Bernard felt that something was wrong.

Paul said dissatisfiedly: "I still have to ask you! Didn't you notify the wrong time?"

The chief secretary immediately said: "Impossible, Lord Graiman. I sent someone to remind me again at half past one."

Paul became puzzled: "Is there any accident? Send someone to look for him."

"Yes, Mr. Grayman." Bernard turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, a servant came in and reported: "Sir Emerson, the messenger of Emden, has come to pay a visit to Earl Greiman."

Paul was angry and annoyed at once: "Okay! It seems that I was simply let go by others."

The Chief Secretary was a little taken aback and said, "Oh! This is too much."

Yesterday, the envoy looked a little domineering, but he was only a secretary after all, so he didn't feel anything.

Now it seems that this envoy can be said to be arrogant. He even made a dignified earl wait for him for half an hour. He decided to stay in the living room to see how things would develop.

The servant led Emerson in, and Paul took a look at him. He looked pretty good, but there was a bit of a savage look in his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was born like this or just pretended.

Emerson came to Paul and performed a noble etiquette in a proper manner.

Paul didn't even want to stand up, let alone return the salute, he just pointed to the other side with his finger to signal the envoy to sit down.

Seeing Paul like this, Emerson frowned slightly and sat down.

Then Paul asked, "Your envoy has come all the way to Huxin Town, what advice do you have?"

Emerson said unhurriedly: "I don't dare to give advice. I am here on the order of the Earl of Kent, and I came here to ask you about Arda's arrest of Earl Garnard without authorization."

"What? Detention?" Paul sneered for a while.

Emerson nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, Viscount Angelo, the head of Berding, has clearly informed the surrounding lords of the whole story."

Paul disdained: "Hmph! I also sent you a notice, haven't you read it? Or do you just believe the one-sided words of those traitors?"

The other party shook his head: "Master Greiman, please don't confuse black and white."

Paul turned around and told Berna, "Please invite Mellon over here."

He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Emerson, so he handed over the real master directly to see what the other party had to say.

The living room fell into silence. Paul didn't bother to pay attention to the messenger who sent him a dove and told him to turn black and white. He picked up the book and continued to read.

And Emerson didn't speak any more, and began to close his eyes and rest, looking calm.

After a while, Myron came to the living room. He had been told by Berner what had happened, and he said as soon as he came in:

"Mr. Messenger, Angelo and others are talking nonsense. These traitors murdered my father, their lord, and later tried to plot against me. Fortunately, I overheard their conversation and wrote a secret letter to me. The blood-sworn brother, Paul Greiman, fled to Lake Town before they realized that the conspiracy had been revealed, and then Paul sent troops to defeat those traitors."

"In short, please don't listen to the rumors of traitors."

Emerson waited quietly for Myron to finish speaking, and said with a smile, "Earl Garnard, I know you are in a dangerous situation and have to say something against your will, but please rest assured, the Earl of Kent will definitely seek justice for you."

Paul and McLone were speechless after hearing what he said. What kind of operation is this.

Macron retorted: "I'm fine now, completely free."

Emerson shook his head and said, "If you weren't under house arrest, if it wasn't for Earl Greiman's vain attempt to annex Bairdin, how can you explain that you still haven't returned to Butuya but are still in Huxin Town? Now all the government orders in Bairding are issued by Huxin Town?"

McLone explained: "Because all of my subordinates are traitors, I don't have any loyal and capable assistants to help me govern Bairding, so I have to turn to Lake Town for help, and I just returned a few days ago Butuya called a meeting of merchants in the territory and stayed there for several days, you can go to Bairdin and ask!"

Emerson turned a deaf ear and insisted: "Master Gardner, I understand your difficulties. Believe me, the lords around will never sit idly by such a thing that goes against the laws of nature."

He turned the subject and stared at Paul again, saying, "Even if the vassals of Bairdin have treasonous intentions, they should be judged impartially by Lord Ferdinand, Duke of Northwest. Aldin, you don't take His Excellency too seriously."

Paul retorted: "Both the Garnard family and the Greiman family are vassals who directly swear allegiance to the royal family We can handle each other's affairs on our own without asking Duke Ferdinand for instructions."

Emerson stood up abruptly, and said with a sneer, "The former king once granted Lord Ferdinand the right to conquer, and all the lords in the Northwest Gulf area should be under his control. If you act without asking him for instructions, you will undoubtedly slap Lord Ferdinand in the face."

"You..." McLone wanted to continue to refute Emerson.

However, he was stopped by Paul.

Paul has already seen that the envoy sent by the Kent family insisted on detaining Mellon, and brought out Ferdinand, the Duke of Northwest, to suppress him. He was trying to find fault, and it was useless to reason with him. .

He doesn't seem to offend the Kent family? Oh, except for catching a few spies.

But that time he was the right one. At that time, with the idea of ​​calming things down, he didn't say anything, and he didn't go to Emden to accuse the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party made an inch of it.

Wait, spy? At that time, those spies seemed to come to steal the papermaking technology...

Thinking of this, he generally understood what the Kent family sent envoys to do.

Paul adjusted his mentality, smiled at Emerson, and stretched out his hand to ask for a seat.

He said in a soft voice: "Mr. Messenger, please sit down first, many things can be discussed slowly."

"A lot of things!" He repeated, looking into the other's eyes.

Emerson looked at Paul's smile, and the expression on his face gradually softened.

He sat down, smiled back and said, "Of course, Mr. Greiman, there are many things that can be discussed slowly."

At last the young earl was on his way.
