Thousands of sparks

Chapter 18 Conspiracy
Life in the manor was quite boring. If the father hadn't come back, the daily life at home would be just Dusande sleeping, eating and studying, and mother sleeping, eating and holding tea parties.Other aristocrats seemed to have pastimes like horseback riding and hunting, but Dusande didn't like them very much.

Rather than hunting animals with hunting dogs and guns, he prefers to find a target and play target shooting one shot at a time—what boy can refuse the fun of hitting a target 50 meters away with a single-action rifle and full copper bullets?
Anyway, during the military training in his previous life, Du Sande was the first to touch a real gun.A total of three shots were fired before and after, which is still too early to be enjoyable.

Procuring a rifle and five hundred rounds of ammunition from Rosen's brand-new inventory, Dusande set up a small shooting range in the northeast corner of the estate.When I have nothing to do, I go to practice target shooting and have fun - I feel that my life has been enriched a lot.

Rosen is a very reliable person. On the afternoon of the third day when Dusand went home to shoot targets, a rented carriage stopped at the gate of the manor.Rosen, who was still wearing the same suit as before, got out of the car and stomped anxiously as he watched the closed gate.But stomping was stomping, he just couldn't get into the baron's manor.

The guard at the gate saw Rosen and wanted to drive him away from the gate.But as soon as he opened the door, he heard Rosen's voice, "I am a friend of Mr. Todd, and I need to see him urgently——Dear sir, please inform him so that he can come to see me as soon as possible."

As Rosen spoke, he handed over his business card.Along with the business card, there was also a one-pound note that was stuffed into the guard's hand.

Using a gold pound as a bribe is a rare and generous amount.The guard didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly called Todd.

"It's you?" Todd looked at Rosen in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"There is news about what the master asked me to inquire about, and... the news is terrible." Rosen emphasized the word "horrible", and then lowered his voice, "The nobleman behind Boss Enrico has made a move, we Worried that they want revenge on the master."

"The person behind Enrico is a nobleman?" Dusand saw the hurrying Rosen and Todd at the shooting range, and heard the news he least wanted to hear from Rosen, "Who is it? "

"Lord Harold, that nobleman who placed an order with my father before." Rosen's face was very ugly, and he said with difficulty, "We haven't completed Lord Harold's order until now, I came to the door yesterday At that time, the lord's butler directly rejected our request for consultation, and...and..."

"Don't stutter on such an important point," Dusand urged. "And what?"

"And the butler also said that Lord Harold already knew that your guards were leading the action. Lord Harold will come to 'greeting' you at an appropriate time." Rosen's face was ugly, and his body trembled slightly. "The steward said that Lord Harold lost several thousand pounds after you 'intervened'."

Dusand frowned.

In all fairness, he still didn't feel that a lord would dare to bark his teeth at the baron's only son.The damage has been done, and revenge on yourself will not help.

What's more, although the guards were a little rough, they were at least reasonable.This Lord Harold should be a smart man, to offend the Baron's family again for the impossible loss of thousands of pounds?A lord who can make such a big "business" can't be so stupid, right?

But a few thousand pounds... This amount of loss has indeed reached the point where people can be confused.Du Sande pondered for a moment, and felt that it was still necessary to communicate with his mother.

"You come with me." Withdrawing the bullet in the gun, Dusand threw the rifle into Todd's arms, and he said to Rosen, "If the other party is a lord, then I have to take it seriously. You go with me to see your mother and tell her what happened."

"It's Mrs. Androni?" Rosen said after Dusand, "That's right! The butler also said... Mrs. Androni can't be elected, she's just a wishful thinking lunatic, women can't win The next election, the winner must be Lord Harold..."

Dusand suddenly stopped.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Rosen, "Say it again."

Rosen felt that he had made a slip of the tongue, and he quickly apologized, "I shouldn't have relayed these words to you..."

"I want you to say it again." Dussand's eyes sparkled, "Lord Harold and my mother are competing for the same parliamentary seat?"

Rosen hesitated, and then repeated what he said just now, and added, "Lord Harold, like your mother, has signed up for the election of the House of Commons in the Second District of Upper Albyn."

"There is something wrong with this matter." Dusand stopped and took the rifle back from Todd's arms. "Tell me, what information did you get about election bribery?"

For the first time, Rosen saw the legend that "nobles would hide their anger with a flat expression".Dusand's expression didn't change at all, he just kept raising his gun, and then shot towards the distant target.

It's just that after some news came out, Dusand's shooting was obviously a bit off.

"Lord Harold has sent a notice to all his debtors. As long as they vote for him during the election, the Lord can waive their one-term interest." Rosen whispered what he had learned, "For those There are no voters who owe him money, and Lord promises that he will pay 10 shillings for a vote."

Du Sande hit the ground more than ten meters in front of the target.He put down his rifle and asked in a low voice, "How many people would be tempted by 10 shillings?"

"I'm afraid everyone will be tempted." Rosen smiled wryly, "Master, if you exchange 10 shillings for a piece of waste paper, at least the people in the entire industrial area will be very happy to make this deal." He thought for a while and added , "But I can be sure that those who have been tortured by Enrico will vote for your mother."

Du Sande did not answer, he was quickly weighing the pros and cons.

It was clear that Harold had every reason to be hostile to himself now.In other words, he had to be hostile to himself now.The loss of thousands of pounds and the electoral hostility made it impossible for Harold to live in peace with his mother.

Since there is a confrontation, according to Lord Harold's usual business habits, it is necessary to extract the most profits at once.Not only must he bring down his mother politically, but he must also do everything in his power to bring her down.The mere seat of a member of parliament may not be enough to make up for the loss of thousands of pounds, but the assets of the baron family are enough.

Either don't do it, and once you do it, you will completely defeat the opponent.After pondering for a moment, Dusand raised his rifle and started shooting again.

"The number of employees in the company's security business must increase as soon as possible, and you must immediately start organizing them for shooting training." Dusande said while shooting, "When hiring, try to give priority to those who have had conflicts with Enrico, and The family that Harold forced into debt..."

Speaking of this, Du Sande was taken aback for a moment. He frowned and asked Rosen, "Your father...how did he die?"
