Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 62: Review Conference

Because of this incident, Evan didn't sleep well that night, and the grim expression on Ferd's face before he left made him restless.

It now seems that Fold is like a lunatic, with unstable emotions and a little erratic in his actions, and in order to appear innocent, he has completely pinned this matter on Duke Wilson. He is really very Worrying, this time things can be as he wished.

Evan got up early the next morning. He dressed and organized everything by himself. He didn't say hello to Mrs. Haydn who was making breakfast, and left the priest's cottage alone.

He walked towards the church. The review meeting at noon made him a little uneasy. At this time, religion was very effective in appeasing him.

Evan knelt in front of the altar, and his long pastoral career has made him more and more comfortable with prayer, and at the same time, he is not as repulsive to religion as before.

Meditating on the Bible for a long time, Evan's uneasy heart gradually calmed down. He looked straight at the statue of Jesus, thinking that after so many years of service, if there is really a **** in this world, this time should also help He got it.

Evan has been staying at Delan Lier Church, and soon after Mrs. Sanders came, she also knew about the review meeting, and it was obvious that the powerful Ferd had notified the town long ago All the people with heads and faces.

She looked at Evan with a worried look, and said warmly, "Mr. Pastor, is this okay?"

Evan nodded calmly: "Madam, the clearer is clear, I have always believed in the power of justice."

Mrs. Sanders was a little speechless about Evan's inhumane attitude, but she couldn't do anything to think that fortunately, the Duke was backed up, which made her relieved a lot.

Evan worked very calmly in the church all day. Even though the people around him looked at him with sympathy or searching, Evan's expression did not change from beginning to end, he was still calm and flat. deal with church affairs.

At noon, all the deans of the church looked at Evan. Evan was actually a little embarrassed. He was surrounded by so many people, and he still looked at him with a look that made him shudder. No matter how strong his heart is, he can't hold it back, but now that the time has finally come, he is relieved.

Evan stood up, nodded to the people around him, and said warmly: "Let's just leave today's affairs here, you don't have to come over in the afternoon."

These people all know what's going to happen in the afternoon, so they don't ask any questions, they all nod their heads.

When the deacons had all left, Evan walked towards the central square.

On the way he went, he also met many townspeople who were also rushing there. Their pointing and slightly searching eyes made Evan feel irritable. He got out of the sea of ​​misery as soon as possible, and the life of these few days really made him fed up.

When Evan arrived at the central plaza, there was already a row of tables there, and Ferd had arrived long ago, and was sitting behind the table, and there were several very prestigious local squires next to them. They saw Evan coming. , the expression on his face is a little embarrassed.

It was Evan, who also suppressed the restlessness in his heart at this time, and the whole person calmed down. He knew that this kind of censorship would inevitably have a squire present to witness, but Ferd could be a one-time It is really capable of pulling so many people, but what Evan noticed is that the seat in the middle is still vacant. If Evan is not wrong, it is probably the seat reserved for Duke Wilson.

"Mr. Ferd, gentlemen, good afternoon." Evan greeted everyone politely like a real gentleman.

Although these squires are the witnesses this time, they have a very good sense of Evan. Seeing that Evan is still so calm at this time, he looks at him a little bit, and nods at him. call.

Only Ferd, who has completely torn away his face from Evan at this time, doesn't care about these false courtesy, just sits coldly behind the table and looks at Evan.

Folder's rudeness Evan just pretended he didn't see it, and stood there quite calmly, not saying a word.

Whether it's Evan standing, or a few squires sitting, or the townspeople around, they are all waiting, waiting for the town's biggest leader, Duke Wilson.

They didn't wait long. Less than a quarter of an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves hitting the bluestone road came from a distance. Evan looked over there subconsciously. It was Duke Wilson's The carriage is coming.

In a blink of an eye, the carriage was in front of everyone, the door of the carriage was pushed open from the inside, and Duke Wilson stepped out of the carriage.

Today's Duke was wearing a four-piece black suit with a coat over it, which made his slender figure even more sturdy. He took off the hat on his head, and his black hair looked very bright in the sunlight. Elegance, he glanced at Evan who was standing aside, his black eyes flashed a little, but when he swept towards Ferd, there was a bit of ridicule in his eyes.

"Mr. Ferd." The Duke's tone was very cold: "This time you want to do something earth-shattering and invite so many people to watch it?"

Folder pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his tone, but still smiled and said: "Your Excellency Duke, thank you for your honor. This time, regarding the reputation of Derain Riel Church, follow the instructions of the Bishop. , I had to make that decision."

"Oh?" The Duke's eyes turned slightly: "The reputation of Delan Lier Church?" He looked at Evan: "And Pastor Bruce is here, how can you intervene in the affairs of Delan Lier Church." Wilson The duke asked knowingly.

Folder frowned slightly, but now he can't see what the duke meant. The affair about Evan has been buzzing in Delan Lier. The duke, as the owner of this town, is it Really don't know?

"Lord Duke, this matter is about Pastor Bruce, so Mr. Pastor cannot intervene. I follow the instructions of Lord Bishop to handle this matter." Although Ferd was puzzled, he still told the truth.

Duke Wilson couldn't help but sneered when he heard these words, he turned to look at Evan, his tone was much softer: "Pastor Bruce, is that so?"

From the moment Duke Wilson came out, Evan's heart was actually in his throat. He was afraid that his plan would go wrong, but looking at the situation at this time, at least Duke Wilson was still on his side. .

"Yes, according to what Mr. Ferd said to me, that's true." Evan lowered his eyebrows and couldn't see his expression clearly.

Evan's ambiguity made Ferd grit his teeth. This person is really cunning, and he has just gotten to this point and justified himself.

"Duke Wilson." Ferd interrupted Evan's communication with the Duke: "People have almost arrived, can this matter begin?" Ferd smiled respectfully.

Duke Wilson looked at Ferd with a very cold expression. There was a deep chill in his eyes. If anyone saw it, he would be scared to death. Unfortunately, at this time, Ferd only turned his head and talked to a few people. The squire talked, but did not notice the duke's expression.

Duke Wilson left where Evan was standing and walked towards the table above. Several squires and Ferd all stood up, knowing that the Duke sat down in the middle seat, so they sat down down.

"Ladies and gentlemen." After everyone sat down, Ferd was the first to speak: "In response to the rumors about Pastor Bruce in town these days, the church attaches great importance to me, Ferd. , according to the order of the bishop, come to deal with this matter, first of all to investigate this rumor."

When he said this, Ferd glanced at Evan calmly. The maliciousness in that glance made Evan shudder.

"According to my investigation in the past few days, this incident was reported by Tang De, the night watchman of the Derain's Church."

As soon as these words were uttered, there was an uproar around them. Everyone knew that Tang De was a tramp before, but finally because of Evan's kindness, he became the night watchman of the Delan Lier Church. They didn't expect that, Tang De would even take revenge.

"Bring Tang De up." Ferd's expression of pointing at the people around him remained unchanged. These people condemned Tang De's hypocritical betrayal at this time. I'm afraid that after a while, the hatred for Evan will be deeper.

As soon as Ferd finished speaking, a few strong young men came up with a thin middle-aged man. Shrinking his head, he was pushed to the front by the young men. When he saw Evan, he couldn't help but wince.

"Tang De, do you know why you were summoned here?" There was a hint of disdain in Ferd's tone. If he didn't come here for the first time and couldn't find anyone else, he wouldn't have looked for such a person. People who can't get on the stage.

"I...I know." Tang De said with some lack of confidence.

"It's good if you know." The more Fuder looked at Tang De, the more he felt an eyesore, he simply turned his head away from him, and said impatiently: "Tang De, you spread the news about Pastor Bruce in the town, you Do you know that spreading rumors to slander a gentleman's reputation is a very serious crime!"

Tang De seemed to be frightened by Ferd's words, and the whole person was stunned: "I... I... Mr. Ferd, what I said is the truth, it is not Rumors, everything I said is true." Tang De defended incoherently.

Folder glanced at Evan calmly, and found that he still remained unchanged, and he was a little dissatisfied, and he showed even more impatience with Tang De: "You said that what you said was true. , is there any evidence?"

As long as the evidence is presented, he would like to see if Evan can still maintain his calm appearance at this time.

"I...I..." Tang De gave Ferde a hesitant look: "This is what a lady told me, but I don't know where she is now."

These are the excuses that Ferd taught him. Although Tang De was very flustered at this time, he was the only one who could believe in Ferd.

"A lady?" Ferd looked at Tang De with a look of dissatisfaction: "Since you can't let the lady come out to prove your words, how can we dare to believe that what you said is true? Tang De, you must know that you are facing an upright pastor."

Tang De scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, which was also his most straightforward response, because Fold didn't tell her what would happen next.

But at this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from the crowd: "I can prove it!"

Evan frowned, and the voice sounded familiar to him.
