Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 52: Another way
Duke Wilson has always done things neatly. Since he promised Ferd, he would naturally not break his word. The next day he went to the county court magistrate, who was a close friend of Duke Wilson's father. The Duke can be considered to have grown up since he was a child. In this matter, he still has to give Duke Wilson a little face.
So this matter was settled very smoothly. Your Excellency quickly gave the green light to the Deran Lille Church, allowing the bank to compensate the church for the money lost by the church.
This solution caught Evan by surprise. The Duke's influence is too great in this era, and Evan felt this for the first time.
Evan did not participate in the specific handover of this matter. It was carried out between Sheriff Chandler and Ferd from beginning to end. It was not until this matter was resolved that Ferd came again. to Cornwall Manor.
Duke Wilson's impatience this time was beyond words, and he looked at Ferd with an indifferent expression as if he hadn't seen him.
"Lord Duke, please accept my most sincere thanks. This time it is thanks to your help." Ferd said gently as if he didn't see Duke Wilson's expression.
The expression on Duke Wilson's face remained unchanged, and he said in a cold voice: "You are polite, this matter is also because of Pastor Bruce, he is my best friend, this trivial matter is nothing to worry about."
Folder's smile suddenly froze on his face. He glanced at Evan who was sitting next to him with complicated eyes.
"In any case, the bishop will be very grateful for your help to the church this time." In order to save his face, Ferd could only take it vaguely.
Duke Wilson didn't intend to stomp the church's face on the ground either. He nodded casually and didn't say much.
But Ferd got excited instead, and continued: "By the way, I don't know if you know, this time Mr. Johnson's matter has been raised by Sheriff Chandler."
Evan's expression changed, and Duke Wilson's face also showed a hint of interest: "Oh?" He glanced at Ferd: "I haven't heard of this."
With Duke Wilson's prestige in the town, if Ferd knows something he doesn't know, it means it's really rare.
"Sheriff Chandler just found a witness that on the day of Mr. Johnson's death, Mrs. Johnson was seen sneaking out of the meeting place of the Women's Association and returning to her home." Ferd's expression was very Intriguing.
Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning when he heard this. He glanced back at Evan, who, as far as he knew, also took this matter very seriously.
And Evan fell into deep thought at this time. His eyes suddenly flashed before his eyes when he saw Mrs. Johnson for the first time. He was arrogant and cold, not like a new widow at all, but in the second time When they met, she turned into a weak widow again. Such a woman can indeed kill people.
"Then what is Sheriff Chandler going to do?" Duke Wilson asked himself when he saw that Evan was obviously stunned.
Folder also noticed Evan's unusual reaction, and couldn't help but curled his lips and whispered: "I heard that the lady has been summoned to the police station by the sheriff. As for how to deal with it, I don't know yet."
Duke Wilson frowned in disgust when he heard this. This matter is too complicated and confusing. He arrested two people one after another. I really don't know if it is true this time.
Folder said this matter, and he said goodbye with a wink. When he came to Cornwall Manor this time, the main task was to express his gratitude to the duke. It has already been passed on to the bishop. He alarmed the duke because of his poor work, and was reprimanded by the bishop. Although Ferd completed the task this time, he was not in a very good mood.
After leaving Cornwall Manor, Ferd returned to his hut. He has been living in a hut behind the church for the past few days. This was originally the residence of the night watchman, but this time because of his When he arrived, the Night's Watch was driven away and crowded with the deacon, and he took up residence in the single hut.
Ford has enjoyed the world's riches since he was a child. For him, this hut is extremely frugal, but today is different from the past. The current Forde may not have seen this place before facing himself. The hut that can glance at it can only swallow it, and it must be greeted with a smile.
Ford felt very aggrieved by this situation, but thinking of his brother's previous instructions, he could only endure it, and he couldn't offend the noble earl at this time. After all, his father had passed away. All his brother can do for him can only come here, and more importantly, he came to this ghost place this time, not only because of survival, but also because of that person...
Fold gritted his teeth, his expression twisted, that person... the shameless villain who ruined his life!
Folder wants Evan to be ruined, he wants him to fall apart, and he wants to give him a taste of the depths of hell.
Folder's fists were clenched tightly, and there was a faint light in his eyes. This day is not far away, and his arrangements for the past few days will soon be realized.
Folder couldn't help laughing. He looked at the complete property transfer document at hand, and his mood finally improved a lot. His mission has been completed, but Evan's disaster has just arrived.
At this time, Mrs. Sanders' voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Mr. Ferd, Dr. Hester and Miss Arya are here."
Folder frowned slightly, and he was a little dissatisfied. As far as he knew, this Doctor Hester and Miss Arya had always been the guests of the Duke's mansion, but since Evan entered and exited Duke Wilson After the residence, the two were obviously estranged a lot.
"Mr. Hester is here?" Ferd opened the door, looked at the middle-aged woman who was calm and a little indifferent, and whispered: "Are they coming to me?"
"Of course." Mrs. Sanders' words were short and cold, as if with a hint of sarcasm, mocking Ferd's meaningless question.
Ford gritted his teeth in his heart, but with a gentle look on his face, he said warmly, "Thank you for letting me know."
Because of the special relationship between these two people and Duke Wilson, he has been in contact with the Dr. Hester since he discovered the deep relationship between Evan and Duke Wilson, hoping to find out from here Come up with something useful.
Dr. Hester is a typical country gentleman, honest and steady, and likes to exaggerate, but according to Ferd's observation, although this Doctor Hester has a big mouth, he does not reveal any important information. It was all his favorite reasoning, nothing about Duke Wilson.
This annoyed Ferd at first, because he suddenly found out that he had been tricked by a douchebag, but since contacting the doctor's daughter, Ferd finally found out that among the father and daughter , the best breakthrough was this stubborn Miss Alia.
Folder came to the front hall of the church. Arya and Dr. Hester were praying with their fingers crossed in front of the statue of Jesus. Ford stood patiently and waited, with a gentle expression.
After a long time, Dr. Hester was the first to open his eyes, crossed his chest, said 'Amen', and finally ended his prayer.
"Mr. Fuld!" When he saw Fuld standing aside, he shouted in surprise.
Folder smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and hissed at the front: "Please don't let me interfere with Miss Arya's prayer." He said weakly.
Alia's closed eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes.
"You are such a gentleman." Arya looked at Foulder with admiration.
Folder pursed her lips and smiled: "You have won the prize. You are a devout believer, which is a good thing for the whole church."
Alia smiled a little embarrassedly. In fact, she is not a very pious person, but when she can no longer enter and leave the duke's mansion at will, this is the only place that can make her feel calm.
"Mr. Ferd, have you finished your work this time?" Dr. Hester looked at him tentatively.
Ford turned slightly and nodded: "God bless, it's done."
Dr. Hester's eyes lit up: "Ah! It's really done! Do you know what theories Sheriff Chandler has on this case this time?"
Folder couldn't help laughing in his heart after hearing this. Since this incident happened at the meeting, Dr. Hester has been making reasoning, but all his reasoning seems very out of place. So far, nothing has been guessed right, but he is very enthusiastic about this matter, so Ferd pays more attention to this matter.
"My dear doctor, you are a gentleman, I can't tell you about this, I hope you can understand."
Although Ferd said this, Dr. Hester's eyes had long been terrifyingly bright. Ferd's words couldn't be more obvious. It was definitely done by Mrs. Johnson.
"Oh... oh, of course." Hester nodded calmly: "This matter is really terrible, I hope it can be resolved as soon as possible."
Dr. Hester tried desperately to hide his excitement, but in the end he was unsuccessful. His clenched fists and excited eyes showed no trace of regret in his tone.
Ford pretended not to see the change in Dr. Hester's expression, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I hope so too, and Duke Wilson also thinks so."
When he said the second half of the sentence, Ferd kept aiming at Arya from the corner of his eyes. Seeing her face pale and stiff, there was a smile on the corner of Ferd's mouth.
"Your Excellency... the Duke?" Alia asked stumblingly: "Have you seen the Duke?"
Folder smiled mildly: "Yes, in order to thank the Duke for his generous help this time, I went to the Duke's mansion."
Aliya's eyes flashed with excitement, and she immediately asked, "Is he all right, Lord Duke?"
Folder looked at Arya in surprise: "The Duke is naturally very good, but Pastor Bruce still looks a little pale."
"Pastor Bruce..." Arya bit her lip: "He... does he still live in the ducal residence?"
Fold was about to answer when Dr. Hester suddenly interjected: "Mr. Reverend is seriously injured and has not recovered yet. Of course he lives in the Duke's Palace."
Unusually, Dr. Hester looked at Arya with an almost stern look.
