Chapter 551： exposed

Everyone in the hall of the lord's mansion is still there, but the acting lord Yurio has already sat on the seat where Paul originally sat. Everyone considered the specific content of the letter, and he was not in a hurry to express his opinion. When others stated their opinions to him, they always responded with "um, um", showing very modesty.

Old Ford, the head of the Government Affairs Council, was holding a letter written by the acting lord just now, deliberating word by word whether it was written properly.

At this time, a person quietly walked into the hall, officially the butler Philip who had left lonely before.

The old housekeeper approached the head of the Government Affairs Council. The head manager sensed that someone was approaching. He twisted his body and cast his eyes on Philip.

When the old butler left just now, Manager Ford also knew about it. He really wanted to leave his seat to comfort this old friend who had been with him for decades, but he had more important things to do, so he had to put all his emotions aside. the back of the head.

Seeing him go and come back now, he asked softly, "Oh, Philip, what can you do?"

"My lord." Philip said in a low voice but did not hide it, as if he was afraid of disturbing others, "I was sorting out the relics in Master Paul's study just now, and there is a safe where only he and you know the password, so I invite you to go there One trip. I think, the room should be vacated for the new lord as soon as possible."

"Oh, it's that locker." Old Ford blinked. "Actually, there's nothing in it. They're just financial statements. I just went up and took them down to show Master Yurio."

"My colleagues, Mr. Yurio, I will take my leave for a while." After speaking, he stood up.

"Please go ahead." Yurio was sitting next to Old Ford, and he listened to the conversation between the two without any doubts.

Among the people present, only Bernard, the lord's secretary, was slightly taken aback, but his expression returned to calm immediately, and no one else noticed.

Old Ford followed Philip up to the second floor, one behind the other, no one said a word on the way, just walked into Paul's office.

As soon as Steward Ford's heels entered, Philip closed the door of the room.

"What's going on?" asked Philip, Ford's superintendent, impatiently.

He didn't know the password of the safe in the lord's office at all, and Philip Butler also knew that he didn't know the password. When he heard Philip's words just now, he was very puzzled in his heart. Fortunately, the head manager's brain reacted faster than his facial muscles, and he didn't show any noticeable expression.

"Bulgan is the traitor lurking in Lake Town!"

Butler Philip told the news that shocked Manager Ford.

"Why... why do you say that?"

Chief Ford twitched his beard, though he too had doubts.

Butler Philip gave him a small note, "Ms. Ratty's pet parrot brought back a letter from Lord Graeman, which said that the Warren family from Bulgan participated in the attack on him."

Upon hearing Paul's news, Manager Ford opened his eyes wide and grabbed Philip's lapel, "What about Lord Graham?"

"Master Graham is still struggling under the protection of his guards, but this parrot has already sent his letter of distress to the Eighth Infantry Battalion closest to him." Butler Philip was worried when he said this, but it was no longer like It was as pale as before.

"So Lord Graham may still be alive?" Old Ford's heart that had been silenced by despair started beating again.

"Yes, it's still possible!" Butler Philip put on a firm tone.

"Wait, you said a parrot?"

"It's there!" Butler Philip pointed to the south of the room.

Manager Ford turned around and looked, sure enough, it was indeed the parrot in charge of Setia. He had seen Ratty teasing this bird many times in his spare time.

Steward Ford immediately read the note Philip handed him.

"Yeah!"

The wrinkled face of the Chief of the Government Affairs Council was distorted with anger, and a complete conspiracy was gradually pieced together in his mind.

First, he tried his best to lure the lord to leave his ruling center, separated from his subjects, took the opportunity to attack and kill him, and then took advantage of his position to control the militia who came to train and spread the news that the lord had died of rebellion. Create the illusion of foreign invasion (or it may be true), and disguise yourself as a loyalist, so that the ministers who have been battered to admit the new lord they have elected, but at this time the garrison of Huxin Town is not there, it is a godsend.

With a snap, Manager Ford slapped the note on the table.

"Action must be taken immediately, and these traitors must not be allowed to succeed. Philip, how many guards are there in the Lord's Mansion?"

"There are more than thirty people in the castle."

Philip thought for a while, stroked his beard and said, "Thirty people are enough, find some good ones, come back to the hall with me later, first control this guy Bulgan, based on Bulgan's performance last night Look, he is the leader of the rebel group lurking in Huxin Town."

Philip asked: "What if his accomplices outside want to rescue him? Or another situation... His accomplices have become crazy enough to disregard his life and death, and now they have nearly 2,000 militiamen in their hands."

"This..." Old Ford also calmed down when asked by him.

…

In the lobby.

"What did you say?" Bulgan almost yelled, although he finally held back, but still let others find out his gaffe.

Just now, one of his cronies ran into the Lord's Mansion and whispered a few words beside him.

But for Bulgan these few words are undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

An army unexpectedly appeared outside Huxin Town, and it was smaller than a battalion.

What's more terrifying is that this army has muskets and cannons - naturally it is Arda's regular army, because they are under the banner of Arda's army and Schroeder.

But...but...the four infantry battalions in the center of the lake should have run far away now. Even if they got the news and immediately returned to the center of the lake and rushed to the center of the lake, it was absolutely impossible to go so fast.

Where did Schroeder find this army? Bulgan couldn't figure it out.

Schroeder! Bulgan didn't expect that the chief of staff who ran out overnight would eventually bring him a big trouble.

The defense must be organized immediately, Bulgan judged.

And you have to go there yourself, otherwise, with the urinating nature of the militia, they would have to run to the other side immediately after seeing the Chief of Staff Schroeder-many of them have met the Chief of Staff.
