Guidebook for the Dark Duke

    Mrs. Sanders followed Butler Chris into the Cornwall Manor. They didn't stop there. They went straight to the second floor and walked towards the Duke's study.

    At the door of the study, Butler Chris knocked on the door first: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Sanders is here." Butler Chris said respectfully.

    After a while, the duke's voice came from the door: "Come in."

     Butler Chris pushed open the door of the study, and Mrs. Sanders followed Butler Chris into Duke Wilson's study.

    Duke Wilson was sitting by the window when Mrs. Sanders entered, and the Duke immediately stood up when he saw Mrs. Sanders entering.

    "Mrs. Sanders." Duke Wilson looked at her with a smile.

    Mrs. Sanders had some inexplicable feeling in her heart, but her face was still very respectful: "Lord Duke Wilson, thank you very much for your reception."

    Duke Wilson smiled slightly: "My dear lady, you are someone I respect, and Cornwall Manor is always open to you."

    Although Duke Wilson said this, Mrs. Sanders would not foolishly believe it. Duke Wilson can respect her so much on the face of Pastor Bruce Never seen Duke Wilson so humble.

    "Your Majesty, I am here to discuss with you about Pastor Bruce." Mrs. Sanders glanced at Butler Chris who was standing next to her, and said very cautiously.

    Hearing Mrs. Sanders talking about this, Duke Wilson couldn't help frowning, he waved at Butler Chris, and Butler Chris stepped back very respectfully and waited for him After Steward Rees had completely left, Duke Wilson said, "What are you going to say?"

    Mrs. Sanders sighed: "You should have heard the rumors in the town these days, right?"

    Duke Wilson's frown deepened: "Rumours?" He has been dealing with matters in the royal capital for the past few days, but he hasn't paid as close attention to Derainier as before.

    "You don't know?" Mrs. Sanders looked at Duke Wilson with some surprise: "My lord, it has been circulating in town these days that Pastor Bruce once did a shameful act in London. This is really nonsense. What kind of person is Pastor Bruce, you know best, such rumors are really an insult to him. ' said Mrs Sanders angrily.

    Duke Wilson frowned tightly, and his face was a little ugly: "When did this start?" His tone was a little cold.

    Mrs. Sanders gritted her teeth lightly and whispered: "Just a few days ago, after Pastor Bruce's first week, it didn't have much impact at first, but these days But it's getting more and more outrageous, you know, sometimes the more ridiculous his remarks are, the more people believe him. Pastor Bruce is an upright man, and those who have a dark mentality, the more they like to humiliate him with filthy thoughts ."

    Mrs. Sanders' remarks are actually hidden. She has always believed that this matter was made by Ferd, so it is inevitable that she will bring out a few words when she speaks. point.

    Duke Wilson looked ashen when he heard this, he glanced at Mrs. Sanders, who looked indignant, heard his implication, and whispered: "Have you already spread this rumor in your heart? candidate?"

    At this time, Mrs. Sanders was extremely cautious, after all, it was just her own thoughts, she pursed her lips slightly, and said carefully: "I can't be completely sure, so I don't dare to Speaking out, I still need your help, Pastor Bruce is stubborn and doesn’t want to explain all this, if you let these things develop, I’m afraid the church will stand up.”

    Duke Wilson's expression darkened when he heard this, he sneered, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Sanders, you are a kind person, I am very aware of the object of suspicion in your heart, I also agree with you, at this time, the church plays a decisive role in Evan's life, and it's a coincidence that we have a representative from the church here."

    Mrs. Sanders breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Duke Wilson thought the same thing as she. Fulder is really like a poisonous snake, making her unable to sleep at all times.

    "Okay, I already know about this matter, I will solve it, don't worry, since Pastor Bruce doesn't want to explain more, don't force him, I will handle it this thing."

      The Duke had promised to deal with it, and there was no need for her to intervene, as Mrs. Sanders knew very well.

    After Mrs. Sanders left, the Duke's face sank at a speed visible to the naked eye. He just didn't ask about it for a few days, and no one reported such a big matter to him!

    Duke Wilson rang the bell on the study, and after a while, Butler Chris walked in from outside: "Your Majesty." He saluted respectfully.

    Duke Wilson looked out of the window expressionlessly, his tone without any hesitation: "Abolish the person in charge of the town's intelligence, and find someone to be responsible again, I don't need someone who makes up his own mind!"

    It stands to reason that the entire Delanlier should be reported to the duke in every detail. This man dared not to report it. This is a fatal mistake for the duke.

    Butler Chris glanced at the duke in surprise, full of sympathy for the gentleman, but he was still flat and respectful: "Yes, Lord Duke!"

      You can't easily take advantage of him.

    Two quarters of an hour later, Butler Chris walked in and said in a low voice, "Sir, the previous one has been resolved, and the deputy in charge of intelligence, Simmons, asked to see him."

    Duke Wilson thought about the plan and nodded slightly: "Let him come in."

    Duke Wilson of course couldn't uproot all his original people, the main person in charge was abolished, and naturally a deputy would come up.

    Simons walked in tremblingly. He hardly dared to look up at Duke Wilson. He still remembered the fate of his superior before, and now he is facing the young duke. , with the highest awe.

    "Duke... Your lord." Simmons bowed with trembling lips.

    Duke Wilson looked coldly at the terrified man in front of him. He was very satisfied. As a subordinate, he must have awe for the superior. The seat of the superior is not far away.

    "You will be in charge of Delan Lier's intelligence in the future." Duke Wilson's tone was very cold: "About the rumors in this town, go and investigate Mr. Verde for me. , to see what he has been doing these days. At the same time, you should always pay attention to whether there are strangers coming to Delan Lille, and then give me a one-to-one investigation on the pastor Bruce's visit to the London church and Delan Lille. Clearly, there must be no omission."

    Simmons was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat for a long time. Now that he heard that he was not only promoted, but also given a task to him, Simmons was relieved, and quickly looked grateful He bowed his head and saluted: "Lord Duke, please rest assured, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly."

    Duke Wilson nodded, thought for a moment and then said, "It's better to be faster."

    Simons responded again.

    Duke Wilson finished his orders, and Mrs. Sanders also returned to the Delanere Church. Evan stood behind the church bell, watching through the colorful glass. Mrs. Sanders walked towards the church with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Sometimes, you don't need to do something by yourself, and there will naturally be someone who can't see it and stand up for you. In this way, it seems that the usual way of winning people's hearts and pretending is still very good. Necessary.

    Evan returned to the altar again, this time he sincerely knelt in front of the statue of Jesus, crossed his hands, and prayed devoutly. This incident was a doom for him. If he can pass it smoothly, then his life in this world will be stable.

    **

    Five days later, the rumors about Pastor Bruce from Delan Riel were rampant, and people used the greatest imagination of human beings to vividly describe such a vague and unfounded rumor. A married woman hooks up to become an adulterer, or seduces a good family woman, anyway, the most filthy imaginable can be planted on Evan's head.

    Generally rational people naturally don't go back to believe these nonsense, but in this era, gentlemen are the upper class, accounting for less than one tenth of the total number, and more are ignorant The people at the bottom of the society, these people are convinced of these rumors.

    At this time, Evan also found that his highly respected status had received certain challenges.

    On this day he went to visit the tenant village under the name of Dranlier Church, but when he passed by the door of a widow's house, suddenly a dog ran out of the door , rushing straight towards him, but fortunately there were a few deputies with him at the time, and they blocked a little, otherwise Evan would be killed in the mouth of the evil dog.

    And what made Evan even more frightened was that even if such a thing happened, the owner of this dog, the peasant woman who usually respected him very much, just stood coldly at the door Looking at it, there was no intention to help at all. Only when the deputies were about to beat the dog to death did they scream and want to protect their pets.

    Evan looked at this situation and felt chills in his heart. This peasant woman's husband died early and raised three children. He looked at her pitifully and exempted her from the land tax for a year. She usually takes good care of her, but at this time, just because of such ridiculous rumors, she can treat herself like this, which makes Evan a little unbelievable.

    In the end, Mrs. Sanders relieved him of his doubts.

    "Oh, Mr. Reverend, those ignorant peasants see you as the most perfect god, and now it is strange that they are not mad except for such terrible things."

    Evan finally understood at this moment that the influence of religion on this society can be so deeply rooted.

    At the same time that Evan was attacked, Duke Wilson finally got his return. Simmons came to Duke Wilson's study again with a haggard expression, but this time There was joy in his eyes.
