Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh feather
Wien directly put the list and account book into the wooden box again, and did not want to hand it to Chris and Tasia for a look.
But because his movements were too natural, Chris didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
"Since we have obtained it, we will return to the capital as soon as possible." she said.
If it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that something will happen again.
"That's right." Wien nodded in agreement.
Horace probably hasn't been so crazy that he can memorize all the books and lists?
Wien secretly thanked, but fortunately threw him back to his house-
Next door.
After Tasia's treatment, his injuries improved a lot, and his magic should have recovered a lot.
However, it is hard to say that the broken legs are.
However, with the company of her beloved girl, it may not be too difficult to come to Horace to hide and recuperate.
At first, Wien didn't think about anything else, just to allow him to have a place to hide for a while and avoid the pursuit he might suffer in the future.
After all, I couldn't get in touch with him immediately, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why I knew his whereabouts.
Such things must be entrusted to reliable people to deal with.
...If he is smart enough, it would be better to hide for a long time and wait until the dust settles here before coming out.
While thinking about this, Wien took the wooden box back to the carriage and placed it directly under the butt of the driver's seat.
Seeing his very unimportant behavior, Chris, who had been following him, couldn't help but show a very disgusting expression to him.
"Two ladies, get in the car!"
Wien pulled up the reins that had just been tied to one branch.
As a result, this weekend trip did not achieve the expected goals, and brought back a big problem.
Do you... want to help Your Excellency Franz hide it?
He turned around and glanced at the two girls who were staying in the carriage at this moment.
--no.
Horace only handed the key to himself.
And when they came to retrieve the wooden box, the appearance was still intact.
If someone finds that one page is missing, or somewhere has been modified, it is easy to suspect yourself.
So, what about the evidence of self-direction and self-acting?
But in this way, the crisis on Horace cannot be resolved, and the crime committed by Alek cannot be identified, so he can tolerate rape!
Alas, let Miss Geli privately first and let Minister Franz find another way to get rid of the crime.
Wien thought.
Accepting bribes has become a popular thing in the kingdom.
For this reason, the processing intensity can be large or small.
He couldn't help but complain to Franz in his heart. The Edgeworth family is already so rich, so why are they still making money so unrestrained?
...
Of course, even though Vine secretly scolded Franz on his way back, he consciously swallowed all the disrespectful words in front of Miss Gree.
After reporting the matter to Duke Elliott in full, Wien did not dare to delay and turned around and rushed to Edgeworth's house.
Fortunately, Miss Geli did not go out, but stayed in the piano room and practiced the violin seriously.
When she accidentally raised her head, she saw Vien crawling in through the half-open window.
She widened her eyes, her expression both shocked and panicked.
"You're crazy, it's daytime now!" Ge Li subconsciously lowered her voice.
"What's wrong with the daytime?" Wien was confused.
But soon he reacted and said angrily: "I'm here to find you because I have a serious matter! And it's imminent!"
Ge Li was slightly stunned and put down the piano and bow in her hand.
He stood up again and locked the door of the piano room.
"What's wrong?"
She put her cup aside and gave Wien her, explaining: "The maid just brought it in, I haven't drunk it yet."
"It doesn't matter if you drink it." Wien said casually.
He was just a little thirsty as he rushed all the way.
After silenced, Wien took a breath and told Geli the news that Franz was about to be in trouble.
"Duke Elliott just said that it would be left to him for a good rest," he said. "Although I don't know when he will officially reveal it, I probably won't delay it for too long. I'll have to go back as soon as possible, so as not to reveal it."
Song Li's expression was also a little solemn, but he was not particularly at a loss.
At least, it was obviously not as panic as when I first met Vine.
"Are you sure there are only those records?"
"Sure."
On the way back, Wien took advantage of himself sitting in the front seat and browsed the evidence in detail.
While Chris and the others were sitting in the car, their vision was blocked, and it was difficult to detect Wien's small movements unless they poked their heads out.
"Singing Ceremony..."
He finally couldn't help but persuade, "I think there are so many ways to make money in this world. Will we use other ways to get money in the future?"
Thinking of how Alic got the money, Wien's conscience was a little uneasy.
Ge Li glanced at him expressionlessly.
"Do you think I am the only one who accepts bribes?" she sneered, "Didn't such a thick roster make you sober?"
"no……"
Wien didn't know how to say this feeling, "It's just that I know, it's not good."
It’s not because of the Virgin Mary or wanting to be a perfect person in morality.
But... he still has sympathy for ordinary people who have been exploited.
Even though he had been traveling through time for more than five years, he still could not expel the lower class people and bully them wantonly like some nobles.
"Since your Edgeworth family is not short of money, why don't you cherish your feathers?" he was puzzled.
Just like the Winchet family.
They were both great nobles and rich, but there had never been any scandal of corruption and bribery in Duke Elliot.
In any aspect, Eliot Winchet fits the true aristocratic style and deserves his reputation as highly admired outside.
——If you have to find a shortcoming from this person, it may be that you gave birth to a dissatisfied daughter like Chris.
However, the song Li sneered with disdain.
"In the group, animals with different coats will be rejected..." she said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Wien was speechless.
"But wasn't Duke Elliott rejected?" he said dryly.
Speaking of the people from the Wenche family, Ge Li's attitude became a little impatient: "That's because he doesn't need to be sociable!"
She turned her head to one side, complimenting reluctantly.
