Chapter 436: The man who should be a blue chip stock
Chapter 436 The man who was supposed to be a blue chip stock
Through the bright lights in front of the mansion, Lorraine noticed that Adeling's face was a little pale, and her white jade-like white teeth were biting her cherry lips nervously, as if she was worried about something.
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh in her heart. No wonder she had such a conflict between heaven and man in her heart. For another childhood friend, she took that woman to her side without considering her own safety.
The demons will never allow this kind of betrayal. Once something happens in the future, they will definitely use all kinds of vicious methods to hunt her down. And she will always live in peace, living a life of wandering on the run.
On the other hand, the Holy Sect of Light, which has power all over the continent, is not a good bird. If they knew that there was a demon, they would definitely capture her.
The Inquisition, that egregious and terrifying institution, will also use all kinds of torture to torture them, extract the last bit of information from their mouths, and then label them as heretics. During some grand festival, They were tied to crosses in the most notorious square of Fantino, and finally burned to death with a fire that reached the sky as the climax of the celebration.
Thinking of this, Lorraine comforted her with a confident smile and whispered: "I'll put you two in place first. Don't worry, leave it all to me."
Adeling blinked her beautiful eyes, and finally nodded calmly and said softly "Hmm".
Lorraine jumped up to the seat next to the driver, pointed to the door of a nearby house, and ordered the coachman: "Drive the carriage over there."
Along the way, the coachman kept beating the drum in his heart.
He turned out to be a soldier in the legion, so of course he also knew about Lord Luo's dirty deeds.
Stories like the uncanny bravery of the eldest princess, the defeat of Ruman, and the capture of the adulterer were often told by the loud-mouthed guardsmen around them.
He knew that a pretty boy like Lord Luo, due to his natural weakness, seemed to be a popular 'little sufferer' in the imperial capital, but as a simple boy from the countryside, he didn't understand these complicated things very well.
Anyway, Lord Luo's life has always been very unhappy, and he was eaten to death by the women in his house.
But now there are two women hiding in his car, and they are very beautiful women. Don't listen to what Lord Luo said, they are the ladies of nobles in trouble that he picked up on the way. This kind of story can only be To deceive a three-year-old child. Only Miss Vera, such a simple girl, would believe it.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that Lord Luo obviously has some kind of super-friendship relationship with them.
Moreover, Lord Luo didn't dare to let those two women into the house. Even if he was a pig in this situation, after a little analysis, he would know that Lord Luo wanted to carry those terrible women behind his back and hide his beauty in the golden house. Learn from the outstanding officials of the empire and engage in activities such as keeping mistresses, which are very beneficial to the body and mind and promote the prosperity and development of the empire's population.
But no matter how secretive Mr. Luo is now, he can't stop the fire after all.
If this situation...if this situation is known to His Highness the Grand Duke...then Long Yan and the others will be furious and investigate. Although they don't know what will happen to Lord Luo, as ordinary soldiers, they , he will definitely suffer disaster, and maybe even his life will not be saved. Even after the operation, it is not impossible to enter the palace and become a eunuch. In short, he will definitely be in a terrible mess and be unlucky.
Therefore, he did not hesitate about one thing along the way, that is, whether he should step forward and expose Lord Luo Lin to those girlfriends of Lord Luo, the ultimate boss of Nai'an Province.
The fact that I have a mistress is a serious political matter that is related to the safety of the empire.
It's just that this poor young man really doesn't have the courage to make a decision, and he still hasn't considered a result until now.
Hearing Lorraine's instructions at this time, he suddenly came back to his senses. He carefully glanced sideways at Lorraine and saw him looking at him strangely. He thought that this wise and martial lord had seen through him.
He was startled immediately, his face suddenly turned pale, and he stammered: "I...I..."
Although the government has been publicizing Lord Lorraine's intelligence and wisdom for a while, his eyes are like a torch, and he can see into the depths of other people's hearts at a glance. He knows five hundred years in advance and five hundred years in hindsight, just like that person who knows what and what, how and what luck.
It's something other than winning or winning. Anyway, it's very awesome, very awesome.
But the old man was not a god descending to earth after all, and he did not know that the young coachman in front of him, who looked very honest and simple, was thinking about whether to betray himself or not.
Hearing the driver's stammering words, he immediately raised his hand and knocked the driver impatiently, saying: "I, I, what am I? Hurry up and drive, you kid, don't want to get this month's bonus?
So shameless..."
After hearing his scolding, the coachman breathed a long sigh of relief and felt relieved - it turned out that the lord didn't know~!
He didn't dare to say anything more. He hurriedly raised his whip and shouted loudly: "Drive, drive..."
Obediently following Lorraine's instructions, he drove the carriage over.
This courtyard is no different from an ordinary big house. The door is closed, a few lights come from the courtyard, and two lamps are lit at the door.
Although the soldier driving the car was confused, he did not dare to ask any more questions. He immediately shook the reins and drove straight to the gate. When he got there, before Lorraine could say anything, the gate of the yard was opened by the servant inside.
The carriage rolled into the courtyard. Lorraine pointed to the stone road on the side of the courtyard and ordered the driver: "Go directly to the backyard."
After bypassing the main building, the carriage came to a stop in front of the building at the back. Lorraine jumped out of the car, turned around and nodded to Adeline, then ran into the main building.
It's already dark now, and most people have already had dinner. In this era of lack of entertainment options, this time is probably a time for everyone to do some favorite activities.
From the outside, this place looks like a normal residence in Nedel City. Most of the windows are dark and only one or two have weak lights on.
But after Lorraine passed through a large door and a hall door, she looked at the busy scene inside the building.
Office workers, holding thick or thin documents, hurriedly shuttled through the corridors. The sounds of opening and closing doors came and went, and occasionally the sound of conversations could be heard.
The staff who were coming and going didn't have much reaction when they saw Lorraine. They just bowed and nodded to Lorraine.
Walking to the door of a room with ease, Lorraine knocked on the door, pushed it open and walked in. She saw Belen with his feet crossed on the table, half lying on a chair, holding a handful in one hand.
document, slowly shaking a wine glass in one hand, and humming an unknown tune in his mouth, "Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh."
Belen's sight was blocked by the documents and he didn't see Lorraine coming in. He just muttered: "What's the matter?"
Lorraine smiled and said, "Looking for your help."
When Belen heard Lorraine's voice, he was startled for a moment. He moved the document a little further and saw Lorraine standing opposite him.
Throwing away the documents in his hand, Beren jumped up and said in surprise: "Sir, you are back."
Lorraine smiled, nodded, and asked, "Is everything okay at home?"
Belen shrugged and said, "There are some minor hiccups, but everything is normal."
When Belen says it's normal, that means everything is really normal.
Lorraine was naturally relieved and patted Belen on the shoulder. Lorraine said: "That's good, okay, I'm going home in a hurry. No more words. Please do me a favor."
Belen almost suspected that he heard wrongly. Lorraine said, "Do me a favor." For a veteran like Belen, who has been in the officialdom and the army for decades, the meaning of this sentence was profound.
The meaning of Lorraine's words was very obvious. It was "me" that was helping Lorraine. If it was official business, Lorraine would naturally say so in a straightforward manner.
If it was a matter in Lorraine's family, Lorraine would usually say "we" or "we" when speaking. This unique "I" made Belen's mind suddenly move.
Anyone who works in the workplace knows that if your superiors ask you to handle personal matters for them, they have already regarded you as a confidant. At this time, as long as you perform well, a salary increase and promotion will be just around the corner.
Although Belen is no longer the kind of young man who looks forward to promotion every day, Lorraine is still a very interesting boss. Belen also has the idea of taking a step forward. He has already determined to take the venture capital company's business to the next level.
Branches open all over the world.
Although from Beren's point of view, Lorraine's identity can be called "uncle-in-law", they all receive their wages from this "uncle-in-law".
Beren's heart was very bright, and he immediately said unambiguously: "Please give me your instructions."
Lorraine said "Yeah", rubbed her chin and said, "I have two people on my hands. They are very important to me. Please help me arrange it, find a safe and private place, and try not to let others know."
Although Beren had no expression on his face, when he heard Lorraine say "them", his heart skipped a beat and thought to himself: No way, is the Governor... going to raise a foreigner?
"This day has finally come," Belen shouted in his heart. In this era, people in high positions like Lorraine do not come to them with all kinds of temptations, but big shots like them come to all young and beautiful girls.
It's all temptation.
Those who hold great power and have billions of dollars in wealth, who can change people's wealth or poverty with just one word, and decide life or death with one word, these people are the focus of the times and the protagonists of history books.
Especially Lorraine, who can be called a dazzling figure in the Ruman Empire.
Born into an aristocratic family, although the Longyacao family has declined, aristocrats are aristocrats after all. This is still a world ruled by aristocrats. You are born to be a member of the ruling class. If nothing else, even your work is directly controlled by central ministries and commissions.
It was arranged that if you go down, you will start at the senior level, but many people from big families are not satisfied with this, and don't want to go there because they think it is too low.
Children of commoner backgrounds, even if they are landowners or wealthy businessmen, may be talented and extremely smart. They are like child prodigies who memorize a dictionary at the age of three, can compose poems at the age of five, and write beautiful articles at the age of twelve. When they grow up,
The most he can do is work as a clerk for others, hold a minor position in the government, and live a comfortable life.
It is even more difficult to become famous and rich. Provincial officials like Angus and others have fought bloody battles. Calculating the probabilities is ten times more difficult than for a magician.
For officials like them who came from civilian backgrounds, this kind of position has come to an end. If they want to take a step forward and jump out of the scope of a province, it is impossible without the support of a big noble.
No matter how stupid the offspring of a lion is, it will still be a lion, and it still needs to hunt and eat meat. No matter how smart the offspring of an antelope is, it will still be an antelope and a herbivore. The most important thing they think about every day is how to avoid being eaten by lions.
Lorraine decided from his birth that he would not lose at the starting line, and he would not achieve a status where he could sit with the nobles and drink tea after a lifetime of struggle.
When many nobles reached Lorraine's current status, they were already paunchy, flabby-skinned and bald. Although they were still the targets of young women, what attracted these women was their power, not themselves.
Lorraine is different from these old guys. He has the advantage of defying almost all the big shots in the empire. He is young and not very good-looking.
Being young and handsome is an asset that attracts women.
Lorraine has power. He controls a province and controls the life and death of millions of people. He is young and rich, and his personal assets are in the millions.
For such an outstanding young man, he should be surrounded by beauties. He is surrounded by orioles and swallows all day long, and he leads a sexually blessed life that he only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals.
At least Beren asked himself, if he were Lorraine, he would have been dissolute long ago.
But this young man, who was supposed to be the number one blue chip stock in the empire, turned out to be an untouchable junk stock for the young women of the Ruman Empire.
Until now, this poor man has only three women around him.
This is because Beren knows Lorraine's private life very well, and is specifically responsible for helping Lorraine deal with those crazy bees and butterflies that are entangled with Hilmeria.
People who don't know the truth may have seen Vera and Lorena beside Lorraine, and maybe the pair of elf sisters who are getting plumper.
But everyone in the Governor's Mansion knows that this poor man is tightly controlled by his two women, even Miss Vera, who is innocent and cute, with a rosy and attractive face that makes people want to take a bite just by looking at it.
, even though she was the personal maid that Lorraine brought from home, Master Lorraine could only watch helplessly and occasionally take advantage of her.
You can't go to brothels, drink wine, hang out with random people, or even stay out all night.
The people of the Ruman Empire all agreed that Governor Lorraine had lived a miserable life.
Now when Lorraine came to Belen and asked him to arrange his outhouse, Belen's first thought was not "I'm sorry for the eldest lady Catherine."
Belen was shouting in his heart: After suppressing it for so long, he finally rebounded. This man is still a man for once.
If Lorraine knew what Beren was thinking, he would definitely sneer at him, and then solemnly tell Beren, "How dare I?"
Belen had the most sincere smile on his face and said firmly: "Please don't worry, Sir, I've taken care of it. I guarantee that no one will know."
Belen also said the last sentence very seriously.
Lorraine smiled understandingly, patted Belen's arm and nodded, saying: "You don't need to be too nervous, it's just that their status is a bit special. I will tell you when the time is right. Okay, come with me."
Belen followed Lorraine out of the door. Lorraine opened the car door and jumped in, then motioned for Belen to come up too.
There was only one lamp on the front of the carriage, and the interior of the carriage was dark. Adeline and Deipole were still tightly wrapped in black clothes, and Belen could only see the outlines of the two people.
However, the faint fragrance in the carriage told Belen that these were two young women.
Lorraine whispered: "Lingna, this is Belen, my most trusted subordinate, who is in charge of a special force under me. I will ask him to arrange a place for you."
Adeling often travels around the mainland, is well-informed, and is extremely smart. As soon as she heard what Lorraine meant, she understood that this Beren should handle Lorraine's personal affairs. Every big shot has several subordinates.
Such a confidant, according to popular parlance, is what most people often call a "dog leg".
Adeling whispered: "I will listen to your arrangement."
Then he said to Beren: "Hello, Sir Beren, I am going to cause you trouble."
Beren said kindly: "It is my duty to share your worries."
Lorraine put her hand on Adeling's shoulder and said: "You guys settle down with Belen first, and I will come to see you tomorrow."
Adeling said "Yes" obediently and said, "Don't worry about going back."
Lorraine squeezed Adeline's shoulder gently, opened the car door and jumped out with Belen.
Lorraine turned to Beren and said: "I'm going back and leaving it to you. Remember, it's a very important matter and you can't be careless at all."
Beren nodded and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, sir."
Then Lorraine pulled the soldier driving the car and motioned for him to follow her, and the two quickly turned around and walked out.
When he was approaching the gate, with the faint light in the concierge, Lorraine took out a wallet, threw it to the soldiers of the 7th Eastern Legion behind him, and said: "Take the brothers to have a good time for two days."
When he got the money bag, the soldier weighed it out. It was a heavy sum of money.
The soldier had some thoughts about today's matter, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen to him, a small soldier.
The soldier grinned and said in a low voice: "Please don't worry, sir, brothers are all sensible."
Although he knew that Beren and the soldier in front of him had misunderstood, Lorraine himself always felt a little guilty. After all, he had given Adeling to the golden house to hide his beauty, so he could only give a vague "hmm".
The whole process only took about ten minutes, and Vera and others waiting outside didn't think it took long.
After exiting the venture capital company's gate, Lorraine waved her hand and said, "Go home."
Then the group went straight to the gate of the Governor's Palace.
Before we reached the gate, we heard the sound of swords being clanged on the other side of the gate. The imperial guard on duty at the gate said loudly: "Stop anyone coming, this is a forbidden area."
Lorraine couldn't wait to take two steps forward and said, "It's me, I'm back."
"Your Majesty the Governor!" the guards at the door exclaimed.
The Guardsman who was the first to react shouted: "Open the door and quickly inform His Highness and Miss Adele."
