Chapter 555: Exposed

Everyone in the hall of the Lord's Mansion was still there, but the acting lord Yurio was already sitting on the main seat where Paul was sitting. He was holding a quill pen and writing letters quickly on the paper. Did he stop to talk to him? When everyone was considering the specific content of the letter, he was not eager to express his opinions. When others stated their opinions to him, they always responded with "um, um" and behaved very modestly.

Old Ford, the director of the State Administration Council, was holding a letter just written by the acting lord, and was reviewing whether it was appropriate word by word.

At this time, a person quietly walked into the hall, Butler Philip, who had left lonely before the formal ceremony.

The old butler approached the manager of the Government Affairs Council. Mr. Manager sensed that someone was approaching. He twisted his body and turned his attention to Philip.

When the old butler left just now, Manager Ford also knew it. He really wanted to leave his seat to comfort this old friend who had been with him for decades, but he had more important things to do, so he had to put all his emotions aside. The back of the head.

Now seeing him go and come back, he asked softly: "Oh, Philip, what can I do for you?"

"Master Steward." Philip said quietly but not covertly, as if he was afraid of disturbing others, "I was sorting out the belongings in Master Paul's study just now. There is a safe there with the password only he and you know, so I want you to come over. One trip. I think we should make room for the new lord as soon as possible."

"Oh, it's the password locker." Old Ford blinked. "Actually, there's nothing in it. They're just some financial statements. I just happened to go up and take them down to show Mr. Yurio for review."

"Comrades, Lord Yurio, I will take my leave for a while." After saying that, he stood up.

"Please do as you please." Yurio sat next to Old Ford and listened to the conversation between the two word for word without any suspicion.

Among the people present, only Bernard, the lord's secretary, was slightly startled, but then his expression returned to calm, and no one else noticed.

Old Ford followed Phillip up to the second floor, one after the other. No one spoke on the way, and they just walked into Paul's office.

As soon as Controller Ford stepped in, Philip closed the door to the room.

"What happened?" Controller Ford asked Philip impatiently.

He didn't even know the password to the safe in the lord's office, and Butler Philip also knew that he didn't know the password. When he just heard Phillip's words, he was very confused. Fortunately, the steward's brain reacted faster than his facial muscles, so he didn't show any noticeable expression.

"Burgan is the traitor lurking in Lake Town!"

Butler Phillip opened his mouth and revealed the news that shocked Director Ford.

"Why... why do you say that?"

Controller Ford shook his beard, although he had doubts.

Butler Philip gave him a small note, "Ms. Ladi's pet parrot brought back a personal letter from Lord Graiman, which said that the Wallen family from Burgan was involved in the attack on him."

As soon as he heard the news about Paul, Controller Ford opened his eyes wide and grabbed Phillip's lapel, "What about Mr. Grayman?"

"Lord Grayman is still struggling under the protection of the guards, but this parrot has brought his letter for help to the 8th Infantry Battalion closest to him." Butler Philip said this with worry, but he no longer looked like His face was as pale as before.

"So Master Grayman might still be alive?" Old Ford's heart, which had been silent due to despair, started to beat again.

"Yes, it's completely possible!" Butler Philip said in a firm tone.

"Wait, you said parrot?"

"It's right there!" Butler Philip pointed to the south side of the room.

Manager Ford turned around and looked, and sure enough, it was indeed the parrot of Setia's manager. He had seen Ladi teasing this bird many times in her spare time.

Controller Ford immediately read the note that Philip handed him.

"Okay! Okay!"

The wrinkled face of the Director of the Government Affairs Council was twisted with anger, and a complete conspiracy gradually came together in his mind.

First, he tried his best to lure the lord to leave his ruling center, separate from his subjects, and take the opportunity to attack and kill them. Then, using his position, he controlled the militiamen who came for training and spread the news that the lord had died in the rebellion. He created the illusion of a foreign invasion (or it might be true), and disguised himself as a loyalist, so that the already embattled ministers would recognize the new lord they had recommended. But at this time, the garrison in Huxin Town was not around. It was a God-given opportunity.

With a snap, Controller Ford slapped the note on the table.

"We must take immediate action to prevent these traitors from succeeding. Philip, how many guards are there in the Lord's Mansion?"

"There are more than thirty people in the castle."

Philip thought for a moment, stroking his beard and said, "Thirty people are enough. Find a few who are good at it. Follow me back to the hall later. We will first control this guy Burgan. Based on Burgan's performance last night, It seems that he is the leader of the rebel group lurking in Huxin Town."

Philip asked: "What if his accomplices outside want to rescue him? Or another situation occurs... His accomplices are so crazy that they don't care about his life or death, and now they have nearly two thousand militiamen in their hands."

"This..." Old Ford also calmed down after being asked this question.

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

……

In the hall.

"What did you say?" Burgan almost yelled, and although he finally held back, others still noticed his gaffe.

Just now, one of his confidants ran into the lord's mansion and whispered a few words beside him.

But these words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Burgan.

An army appeared outside the lake town, and the scale was less than a battalion.

What was even more terrifying was that this army had muskets and cannons - it was undoubtedly the regular army of Alda, because they were under the banner of the Alda army and Schroeder.

But... but... the four infantry battalions in the lake should have run far away now. Even if they got the news and immediately returned to the lake town, it would definitely not be so fast.

Where did Schroeder find this army? Burgan couldn't figure it out.

Schroeder! Burgan didn't expect that the chief of staff who ran out overnight would bring him a big trouble after all.

It is necessary to organize defense immediately, Burgan judged so.

And he had to go there in person, otherwise, given the nature of those militiamen, they would immediately run over there when they saw Chief of Staff Schroeder - many of them had met the Chief of Staff before.
