Chapter 056

About ten miles southeast of Auston Castle, another behemoth is erected here. If you look down from above Dongcheng District, you will find that this is the center of the noble residences in Dongcheng District.

Its walls are not as tall as Auston Castle, and its main building complex does not look gorgeous. Even the golden lion-headed emblem in front of its door feels a bit old.

However, when you look directly at this noble castle, your first reaction in your mind is often words such as "content", "heavy", "historical". This is the castle of the Robert family, one of the four major earls in Laiyan City.

At this time, behind the castle, a group of black-armored guards surrounded a man in gray and entered the back door.

After entering the castle, the man in gray waved and said something, and the group of black-armored guards bowed and retreated.

Then the man in gray hurriedly walked into the castle. His identity seemed to be quite high. The housekeepers and guards he met along the way were bowing to him.

After a while, he arrived in front of a three-story stone building in the castle, entered the door, walked straight to the second floor, and finally stopped in front of a red nanmu door.

"Dong, dun, dun!"

"Enter!"

The man in gray pushed open the door. The decoration inside the room was quite simple. A large desk was facing the door. This table occupied a quarter of the area of ​​the entire room. The table was filled with various official documents and materials. Although there were many things, the owner might like to be neat, so the placement was very organized. Behind the table was a man looking down at the documents, with his blonde hair very dazzling.

After the man in gray came in, he did not say anything immediately, but took him to the door and stood respectfully beside the table.

The whole room suddenly became quiet again, and only the sound of a blonde man constantly flipping through the paper, and occasionally he would lift up his quill and rustle with something written.

After about ten minutes of this, the blonde man finally closed the document and raised his head.

The cut-cut face seemed to show his decisive personality. Although his griffin-like eyes were slightly bloodshot, they were still sharp. This person was Bevin, the second son of the Robert family.

"I've said it many times, Gray, just sit right after you come in."

"Okay, Master Bevin, I will pay attention next time." The man in gray, no, Gray bowed and said, as he had said before.

"Okay, I hope you really listened to it this time." Bevin smiled and shook his head, then said calmly, "How is that happening?"

Gray showed a hint of excitement and took out three pages of paper and placed it on the table: "Master Bevin, it's successful."

If Done was here, he would have recognized that these three pieces of paper were the broken pages of the account book he brought from Auston Castle.

Bevin nodded, picked up the paper, read it quickly, and laughed in silence: "This Auston family really dares to do anything."

"Yes." Gray sighed: "If these three pieces of paper flowed to the imperial court's trial table, then the Auston family would have to be pirates again."

"I wouldn't let this happen, because we won't get anything," Bevin put down the paper and smiled. "So, the Earl of Auston should thank us, well, for giving me his four docks as a reward."

"Yes, the Earl of Auston should thank you for your kindness."

"Haha." Bevin finally showed an excited expression at this time, and then spoke, "Tomorrow, let the wind be released, and the Auston family smuggled the enemy country. Two days later, we will contact the Earl of Auston and hand over the dock."

"Yes," Gray bowed.

"By the way, how is the progress of the construction of the new terminal?" Bevin said, knocking on his forehead.

"It's not going well. The new dock will occupy five streets, and now only one has been cleared."

"What's going on?" Bevin frowned, "Didn't the official document be sent out two weeks ago?"

Gray spread his hands and said, "The Government Affairs Department responded that he had been doing it."

"If I were the city lord, I would have removed them." Bevin's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he took a deep breath and said, "Calling some people from the Golden Lion Gang to clear the other four streets."

"Okay, but the demolition fee..." Gray said hesitantly, "We don't have much money to use anymore. The elders in the clan have some opinions on our recent spending of funds."

Bevin pressed his temple: "These old stubborn... Well, let Delk's five families temporarily pay some funds, and go to the Finance Department to declare after they are cleaned up. They have eaten a lot of meat during this period, and it's time to do some effort!"

"good!"

…………

OK, let's turn our attention back to the protagonist Tang En's side.

After the split of the spoils was over, Don Eun talked about it for a few words and was about to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Jack left an address. Because he knew that Tang En was an assassin, Jack was very sensible and did not ask for Tang En's address. He just said that he would remember to bring him with him next time there was a big deal, so Tang En naturally agreed.

Letting the carriage slowly drive southwest, Tang En fell into deep thought.

The task of stealing the Count Auston's smuggling account book has been completed, and Donn has gained many benefits, but there is still no clue to the mysterious sender.

Tang En doesn't like this feeling very much. It's like walking in a night when you can't see your fingers. You never know when a big pit will appear in front of you, waiting for you to fall into it yourself.

"Damn, don't let me know who you are, otherwise..."

Hum? Just as Tang En gritted his teeth and made a harsh speech, a sudden burst of chill passed by his heart.

At this time, the carriage was passing by a not-so-wide bluestone street. The sound of horse hooves fell on it and it was clattering from afar...

Tang En leaned forward slightly, his legs tightened, and his eyes kept scanning the surroundings. The feeling he felt just now... It would be impossible to be wrong, he was definitely targeted by someone.

The carriage continued to move forward and passed through a low house.

Suddenly, the coldness dropped again, and this time the intensity was much greater. Tang En's body felt like falling into an ice cave, and the inside and outside was cold.

With his wrist moving, Tang En resisted the subconscious reaction of popping out the dagger.

The chill became even more cold, and it seemed to break Tang En's psychological defense line.

The horse seemed to feel something strange, stopped moving forward, and its hooves were dug to the ground uneasyly.

Tang En suddenly turned his head and looked to the right. There was a low tiled house on the other side. When Tang En started looking at it, it was empty. But now, a figure appeared on the roof like a ghost.

Although it was dark, Tang En still recognized who this person was.

Because his outfit is too conspicuous, his floral clothes, masks, and long hair... are the ghost faces that Tang En wants to investigate recently.
