Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 322 Hobert's Treason

Backlund, Queens.

Audrey walked quickly outside Earl Hall's study room. She took a deep breath, calmed down, and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Audrey pushed open the door: "I'm sorry, father, for disturbing you. Is what the newspaper said true? Huo... Brigadier General Christine treason?"

In the study, besides Earl Hall, there were Audrey's elder brother Hibbert, and Earl Hall's good friend, Earl Wolfe.

Earl Hall knew that his daughter and Hobert were friends, so he smiled and said, "My dear, please come in, we are also talking about this matter."

From the expressions of everyone, Audrey already understood that this matter is true!Hobert is really treasonous!
He said at the Tarot meeting yesterday that he has been busy recently. Could it be that he is busy treason?

Audrey sat on the soft seat behind her father, only listening to Earl Wolfe say: "I said a long time ago that some people are too harsh on Christine."

"That's right." Earl Hall said: "Back then, he and Rex stabilized the situation in East Balam, and thus established our dominance in the southern continent.

"However, Christine, who has high prestige in the army, has not been promoted for more than ten years. This has caused dissatisfaction among many people."

Hibbert asked, "Father, who is Rex?"

Earl Hall stroked his hair with his hands: "That's a person of our time, if... hey, what if."

"Perhaps, Christine has other plans? Or other schemes?" Earl Wolfe suddenly said, "Otherwise, Christine would not take the eldest son on an adventure together. I have met that young man, and his future achievements may surpass him. father."

Earl Hall smiled and said, "With Christine's mind, I don't think he would do anything stupid."

"Anyway, they killed the prince." Hibbert said, "They will never even think about returning to the Loen Kingdom in this life."

Earl Hall took the opportunity to educate his son: "Don't rush to assert, nothing is absolute.

"Especially if you don't know Christine very well, you should be more cautious in expressing your opinions. Of course, we can be more casual in private conversations like ours."

Audrey observed the expressions of everyone. Her father and Earl Wolfe didn't seem surprised by the rebellion, and they seemed to have the intention of blaming the royal family.

After this conversation was over, Audrey realized that it was time for her to leave. Earl Hall and Earl Wolfe seemed to have other things to discuss.

After leaving her father's study, Audrey realized that the protagonist of this mutiny should be Brigadier General Christine, and Hobert might just be affected.

The reason for Christine's rebellion was that she was treated unfairly, and everyone seemed to know about it.

No, I have to find a way to confirm it again.

Audrey thought of Hugh and Forsi, and she hurriedly told the maid Annie: "Go and ask for a leave of absence from the studio for me, just say that I have something urgent to do today, and I don't have time for art class."

She said to another maid: "Go and help me prepare the carriage, I'm going to the residence of Viscount Grelint."

……

"Extraordinary! Brigadier General Christine betrayed the country with her son! His son Hobert was offered a reward of 10000 pounds, and the king vowed to make Christine lose his son!"

In Wood District, Jessica heard the newsboy's voice just as she got off the public carriage.

She hurried over to buy a newspaper, and opened it on the street to read.

"Steam on! They killed a prince!"

Even Jessica, who hates nobles, knows the importance of a prince in the Kingdom of Loen.

Treason, Lawyer Hobert, treason!

It took Jessica about half a minute to accept this fact.

Immediately afterwards, she immediately thought that Lawyer Hobert had several letters in her place. She was about to quicken her pace, but forcibly suppressed her thoughts: such a big case of treason, the royal family will definitely launch a series of investigations, Maybe, maybe I'm being watched.

So Jessica worked hard to endure, kept her usual speed, and came to the law firm.

As soon as they entered the door, Laska and several other lawyers rushed over and asked, "Jessica, Lawyer Hobert..., is that true?"

Jessica said: "I'm the same as you, I don't know the specific situation!"

She said solemnly: "However, I want to remind everyone that no matter what Lawyer Hobert has done, his contribution to the legal profession and the people at the bottom of Backlund are indelible!

"Go back to work! Wait for the next arrangement."

After entering her office, closing and locking the door, Jessica showed her panic.

She came to her desk in three steps at a time, and found the letter Hobert had left for her. When she opened the letter with a knife, she was a little flustered, and the knife fell to the ground.

Picking up the knife and trying again to open the letter, Jessica read it quickly.

"Jessica:

"When you read this letter, I should have already left Backlund, so don't worry about me. I originally planned to leave Backlund to seek new development.

"Give the letter 'Attorney Barton' to Lawyer Barton. In that letter, I will ask Lawyer Barton to keep our team. I think he will agree.

"I hope you can continue to fight for the interests of the people at the bottom and vulnerable groups in Backlund, and be the light of this era!

"Maybe I will implicate you in being investigated, but it should be just monitoring and investigation, because you really don't know anything.

"There are other documents in the envelope, proving that you will replace me in the drafting meeting of the Labor Law.

"There is no law that stipulates that the invitation to the parliament will be terminated due to force majeure and other factors, so no matter what earth-shattering things I do, it will not affect the legitimacy of you attending the meeting instead of me.

"There has to be someone to explain those complicated terms to the workers, and of course you will be subject to more stringent investigations, and may even land you in jail, so the choice in this matter is yours.

"The other two letters were sent according to the above address, and I will not repeat the specific precautions.

"If someone sends me a letter or finds me, please continue to register, I will occasionally return to Backlund, to my office.

"If you need me urgently, summon my messenger, the incantation is: I,

"Call in my name:

"Spirits lingering in vain, friendly beings to drive, messengers only of Hobert Jeffrey.

"Use the norms of dual rituals, spells in Hermetic, or other occult languages.

"Prepare three donuts before each call, that's the reward for delivering the letter.

"Burn after reading."

It was signed by Hobert.

Jessica breathed a sigh of relief. Hobert had already made arrangements, and it seemed that he had been planning for this for a long time.

Then she burned the letter in her hand, put a stamp on the "Hugh" and "Sherlock" letter, and sent it with the letter to the client.

The letters from the law firm are all urgent letters, and I believe they will receive them in the afternoon.

Then Jessica went to Barton's office with the letter for Barton.

……

Backlund North District, in a classical office building not far from the Evernight Goddess Church, Daly stopped Leonard who was about to go downstairs with a newspaper: "Where are you going?"

"I'll go to the security company and ask Thomas what's going on?" Leonard shook the newspaper in his hand: "We chatted last Saturday, and he didn't seem to be troubled, but why did he suddenly betray the country? ?”

Daly smiled and said, "Don't worry, has the church expressed its position on this matter?"
